A lot of comments are criticising the frameworks or the developers, but suprisingly almost no one is criticising Python, which remains a language of the early 90ies as far as parallelism is concerned.

A bit like Stockholm syndrome - "Python doesn't do threading" is so ingrained in its users (and I'm a user) minds that it's not even questioned as a potential source of problems.

(Noone said it's easy to do. That's why language developers and implementers are a special breed even today.)
Don't use fractional scaling.

Use the closest integer scaling and adjust default font sizes (and if needed other sizes like window title height or panel height).

It's also best if you just don't buy monitors that have dpis that are not close to integer multiples of 96.
Since the earliest days of Docker for Mac, I've found docker-sync to be very effective. (I've haven't done much follow-up over time to see if using those flags matches performance) To gain more speed, add folders you really don't care about to docker-sync's ignored folders, especially if they are high churn.
Celsius is not that practical for everyday life though :

1.) The 0-32-96 °F range covers much better the range typically experienced by humans than 0-100 °C.

2.) It's more dozenal than decimal allowing for easier mathematics (even when stuck in a decimal number representation system like we are).

3.) For "non-human" fields, you are probably better off anyway using a scale starting at the absolute zero. (The triple point of water seems like a good candidate for 100 degrees ? Or maybe a value directly related to log 2, e, kB ?)
Well I guess you're joking, but just in case you're not, remind me of never dating you. :D
I'll actually defend Fahrenheit more strongly than other US units. 32 degrees is a single number it's probably worth remembering. Balanced against that, environmental temperatures are usually going to be positive unless it's really fricking cold and the degrees are about twice as granular. The main advantage of Celsius is just that it's what's used in most places (and that it's tied in with metric units).

The absolute scale of Celsius (as opposed to the size of the degree) isn't the most useful anyway because you tend to use Kelvin for a lot of purposes.
In English, I wouldn't recommend any of them, they're all pure garbage. Other than English speakers who cannot Hebrew - I've never met anyone who thinks they're a news source. Radio is by far the best news source in this country - it's a country of sound bytes.

In Hebrew, I'd recommend reading Haaretz (https://www.haaretz.co.il/), or ynet Hebrew (https://www.ynet.co.il/). In Arabic, the best paper is probably Al Ittihad (https://www.alittihad44.com/). Quality varies, but all three are reasonable quality in their own languages, and for the region, relatively unbiased.

I don’t think you understood my position: I categorically refuse to waste time looking for more sources for someone who critised the first ones I used without providing sources themselves to back up that criticism. It just boils down to having self-respect. If you ever find yourself in my situation I advise you to do the same (I still find your position of asking me instead of them for more evidence to be weird, but I won’t try to understand it on account of the aforementioned not wanting to waste my time).
I have a large number of things to suggest, and so many questions.

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin ...

Firstly, examine your motives for doing this. Are you just looking to get the certification, or are you looking to acquire knowledge and skills? Keep this in mind at all time, because you will need to invest significant amounts of work, so your intent will matter.

Next, before the course starts, attempt previous papers. Don't expect to be able to do them, of course, but attempting them will prep your mind for the sort of information you'll be looking to acquire. Attempting previous papers in advance will make you more aware of the information you're given as it's given to you.

Then, set up a spaced repetition system ready for flashcard-style knowledge retention. You can use Anki, or Supermemo. I wrote my own CLI SR system in under 30 minutes, and I still use it every day for a wide range of things. Since I wrote it it's limited and frankly user-hostile, but I know how it works, how to use it, and can enhance it as needed.

When you take notes you are are looking for several outcomes:

* A body of knowledge to be revised;

* Cross-connections between items delivered at widely-spaced times;

* Fundamentals that affect everything, versus singletons that exist in isolation;

* etc

Take notes in an informal short form where it trivial to add cross-links. I use zim-wiki to take informal notes and dump information, then I wrote a TF-IDF script to append links between pages that might be related. Other systems exist to do similar things. The important thing is that it's fast to use, fast to rearrange, and fast to find related material.

Finally ... review, revise, rearrange, review, revise, rearrange, review, revise, rearrange, review, revise, rearrange, review, ...

Endlessly.

Your notes are not "Write-Only" ... they are there to capture the start-points of the knowledge you are looking to gain. The knowledge will become fluent when you use it, reference it, revise it, cross-link it, and apply it.

Once you have a system (mine is zim plus my TF-IDF mods, plus my DoubleMem spaced-repetition system) then use it. Constantly. Use it now. Try to memorise the periodic table, plus an interesting fact about every element. Memorise a poem, memorise a passage from a favorite book, read about and notes about the major historical events in the development of the odern Czech Republic.

So:

* Set up a basic system now;

* Use it for real;

* Fine tune it now;

* STOP TINKERING!

* Read past papers;

* Make notes of questions you can't answer;

* Read ahead;

* Allocate the time.

Interview: Everything you've heard about Japan is True
Yes, people still sometimes use the Morgen (=morning).

It's the area "tillable in the morning hours of a day by one man behind an ox or horse dragging a single bladed plough" (about 2500 m^2, though regional variations were 4000 or even up to 10000 m^2).

Interestingly, the acre was also historically determined as the area that can be ploughed in one whole day by a team of eight oxen, namely 1 furlong x 1 chain or 4047 m^2.

Not sure what that says about German vs Anglo-Saxon working hours or oxen...

I need probably 7.5-8 hours of sleep. I'm very confident about this. If I get only 5-6 hours sleep for a couple nights, I become quite cognitively impaired; if it goes on long enough there are serious emotional effects too.

There are people who insist that actually, 5-6 hours is fine, and that I must be lying, lazy, or deluding myself. These people are trying to make me stupid and miserable.

It's an issue that provokes a lot of strong emotions, especially on the side of people who feel pressured to sleep less than they need.
These achievements never fail to make me emotional. The incredible amount of effort, risk tolerance, teamwork, and talent for all parties involved is humbling. Every one of these achievements feel to me as another version of landing on the moon.

Somebody is using a database (sqlite in this case) to store JSON objects. There is nothing strange or unusual here.

When doing this, though, the problem is that it's more difficult to run search queries with the same expressiveness as we would otherwise do had the data been properly "unfolded" into many columns of a relational database.

This tool allows to make such expressive requests. This is very useful.

Interestingly the search query itself is expressed as a JSON object (this is a design choice, it could or could not have ben the case. In any case it's cute.)

Someone has to pay, i guess. The challenge will be of course, to maintain a civil discourse. It will be important for both sides to not be seen as acting petulantly. As is so often the case when huge amounts of money is involved. But i'm afraid that the discourse will completely melt down before long.
> because poor people don't actually make that much money, nor do they provide any significant value.

I’d love to see this reasoning or study behind this, and the context of “poor people”.
I think that's the point? It's not actually functionally any more threatening than an ordinary camera, and in fact it's more honest about its functionality. This should make us think twice about all the cameras in our daily lives. What if they all looked like this?

Block time isn't really the obstacle the detractors are claiming it is.
Absolutely. I tried to get that across with "portion of the time", but I realize that wasn't clear. I meant to imply that if it took a year in clock time it took non-insignificant person-hours, which I think is reasonable.

I also tried to get across that if payments caused the code to be private for a year, that's also a downside

The UML notation is easily cryptic to the neophyte but it can sometimes help to give an overview.
I use a scale at home but, for many purposes, it really is easier to use measuring spoons for things like spices and baking soda than to use the scale for everything.

Even my cookbooks that do give weights as well as volumes for ingredients like flour, tend to just give measuring spoon amounts for the small additions.

To your cord example, precision just isn't a big deal and I'm sure it's just easier for people selling to throw an approximate volume in their truck than weighing everything.
Ask HN: How do we democratize internet communities?
Online communities often fall into hands of few people that can maintain control indefinitely with no one having enough power to challenge their authority.

It's impossible to fork a community without large enough following.Also the original community still has the advantage of being the "default one" where all the searches and references will lead you to.

> They have a lifespan based on radioactive decay of the detector.

Americium-241 has a half-life of 432.2 years, while the recommendation is to replace a detector after only 10 years. But only 1.6% of the Am-241 has decayed after 10 years, so there must be other reasons for the short life span.
> Social media holds a mirror up to society, and we don't like what we see there.

Well yes, we humans have flaws. Now, there are some institutions, habits, and organisations that ameliorate these flaws and enable us to become better versions of ourselves ("better angels of our nature").

And then there are things that prey on our baser motives, pander to them, exacerbate them, and profit from it. And Facebook is surely among them.

Is Facebook only possible because our flawed nature? Sure. Does that exculpate it? No.

> In countries like Denmark or Norway things like Universal health care are not free, they are paid by high taxes

It’s the perfect reason to have “high” taxes.

> and lots of things in Hospitals need a family member to help for caring ill people(and you pay for some services if you can)

I have no idea what you mean by this. It is a hospital, where in exchange for your taxes you get a given service (in many European countries quite high level one, and you don’t have to argue about whether a bear attack was a preexisting condition).

> I went to "free" public University to study engineering that was not free at all. You needed high grades to enter and to remain there.

I don’t know which country you are talking about but engineering is usually hard. It would be laughable if just because you pay for it, you get a diploma. But also, in most European countries you do have an option to pay for your studies as well, in which case you can go on as long as you have money left. I don’t see why allowing poor but talented students to study onward would be bad. And I really don’t get your point on the grading system. As far as I know there is little difference between “paid” and “free” universities.

> Go to Poland, go to Hungary, go to Czechia or Slovakia, ask the people what socialism is, look at the buildings before and after socialism

What’s up with buildings? Yeah Soviet brutalism (as an architectural design) is not the most beautiful (though if we are not talking about the block houses, there are some really interesting ones like museums), but people had a home, there weren’t really homeless people. I think it was a much better system than the current insanely priced housing market, where most people instead of paying for their home, instead use one as a service, disallowing many from ever buying a home.

Also, the problem with Hungary at least (not sure about the other countries) was the change from socialism to capitalism, where expensive industries /factories were sold for pennies and went to foreign hands.

So what we mean by socialism is quite variable, but socialism policies (health care, free university) are a definitive win for society, and not having them is barbaric. As for your last-1 paragraph, I do agree, uncontrolled power is the problem.
> Unfortunately for him, the back-then Prime Minister, Renzi, decided to drop support for him

I think this narrative has spread too much and has become one of those lies that repeated indefinitely become truths.

Marino had a problem: he wasn't a long time memmber of PD (Democratic Party) of Rome, they had another candidate but Marino beat him at the primaries and became mayor of Rome.

So they started the war against him.

Renzi simply acknowledged that the roman PD was a nest of vipers and put a commissar (Orfini) to handle the transition.

But it wasn't Renzi that created Mafia capitale where members of PD were involved with bipartisan criminals of Rome (like Tassoni in Ostia that was in bed with the gipsy-mob family Spada)

I'm also talking about corruption, years after it's clear that Renzi was right when che tried to reset the roman PD, his fault was not being able to actually clean the house

https://roma.repubblica.it/cronaca/2021/04/10/news/scandalo_...

(sorry, Italian only)

Also, Marino wasn't loved by romans because he had radicals ideas about modernizing the city and romans are generally resistant to changes and also because he made some bad communication mistake.

I'm telling this as a roman who campaigned for Marino, voted for him and was happy having him as mayor.

Essentially, what this code does is:

background: linear-gradient(to right, #007CF0, #00DFD8);
-webkit-background-clip: text;
-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;

- the background is the linear gradient

- background-clip makes the background only appear behind text

- text-fill-color changes the text's fill color. Not sure why text-fill-color is used, `color: transparent` seems to do the same.

If you want a non-react, reusable way:

.gt {
background: linear-gradient(var(--gt-direction), var(--gt-start-color), var(--gt-end-color));
-webkit-background-clip: text;
color: transparent;
}

This way you can add various CSS helpers for start-color (or set them manually via JS)

Here is how you can migigate sybil attacks:

It has three pieces.

1. As people vote, a counter voteCount goes up. And also X = hash(X + latestVoterAddress). You become eligible based on X being the random number, rather than the block hash. The advantage here is we don’t have 40 minute limitation because X only changes as people vote and you can store as many historic X as u want.

Also how to store the last N historic values: you preallocate an array of N values and then you have a cursor that goes c = (c + 1) % N and it wraps around. That is how you can indicate which C to check and make sure you are still eligible. For example you can be eligible until 1000 new votes are cast.

We can combine with OR the randomness based on block hash (time based) and the randomness based on X (vote based) and you are eligible for 40 minutes or 1000 new votes whichever takes longer.

2. This is what I want to call Proof of Quality (PoQ) instead of Proof of Popularity (PoP). It’s not about how many people voted for you or how much capital was invested in you. But rather, whether people thought you were actually the best in a certain quality.

When you are eligible to vote, you should NOT be able to vote for whomever you want directly. You can vote indirectly, like in Mark Zuckerberg’s FaceMash: “who is more attractive, A or B?” And we update them with ELO rating formula as if they played a chess game. Then whoever gets highest ELO rating is the winner!

If there are a lot of candidates we can also have option for more than one (“choose most attractive from among A, B, C, D, E”) but arrow’s incompleteness theorem says two choices is the only way you can actually capture EVERYONE’s preferences

A variation of that is when you vote for some value to go up or down by 1% or some predetermined random % between 0 and 10. The result of everyone voting is what we use on-chain, eg when we combine the dot product of how much to issue for various tagged UBI categories etc.

What if we have only 2-5 candidates? Then this indirect voting thing wouldn’t work to prevent sybil attacks and we can only rely heavily on the “eligible to vote” where only 5% of people are eligible to vote at any given time. Someone with a lot of accounts can game that system. Luckily with our projects we will be voting for an ever growing number of candidates so we can use PoQ to determine top 10 in last 24 hours!

3. Your account address cannot proceed to vote for anyone else until you have voted in the current match-up in front of you (“Who is the most attractive, A B or C?”)

Just have a mapping in the smart contract which stores the random seed that made you become eligible. And don’t allow changing it until you voted. Have a parameter “votesPerSession” which allows a person to vote in up to votesPerSession matchups before they need to become eligible again. Thus #1 and #3 are used for rate-limiting them and #2 is for avoiding shilling specific items.
