Note that a lot of these bind to 0.0.0.0 by default. This has caused me surprises in the past as I was failing to connect to a host that is available over IPv6. Sometimes it was even intermittent as I would sometime resolve to the IPv4 and sometimes get the IPv6 and fail.

For python3 this is easily remedied.

python -m http.server -b ::

On most OS configurations this will listen on both IPv4 and IPv6.

Or for when you only need local access:

python -m http.server -b localhost

> Using sports as an analogy

An example I'm quite familiar with; the Ferrari Formula 1 team used an engine in (at least) 2019, and possibly earlier too, that had momentary higher fuel flow than allowed by the regulations. The regulations were very clear that at no time the flow was to be larger than 100 kg per hour.

The hurdle: enforcing the fuel flow into an engine, running at 12,000 RPM, is hard when you're not the one building it. So the FIA, the governing body, commissioned a fuel flow device that would sit in the fuel line between the tank and the engine, and measure the throughput. The flow was/is measured almost 5,000 times per second.

Ferrari found out how it worked, and simply produced higher throughput when the fuel flow monitor wasn't reading the flow. Entirely genius but highly illegal. Between 2019 and 2020 they were found out, and for the 2020 season they were considerably slower because their engine was designed to use the fuel flow workaround.

TL;DR: even perfectly designed regulations can have problems when it comes to figuring out if something is being broken. In this example, Ferrari got off without a penalty because they in turn helped the governing body figure out a way to catch anyone doing the same thing. This rule break was suspected by competitors and fans alike for the best part of the 2019 series. It wasn't an out-of-the-blue shock. Figuring out what exactly is being done illegally is just not that easy in large, opaque systems.
Man, Contact is excellent. It gives me a bit of a "Seinfeld" effect where in the modern day it feels like it leans heavily on tropes but the movie itself is likely one of the founders of those tropes, if that makes sense

Another Earth is what I would call "fake sci-fi". The other Earth in the movie has almost no impact whatsoever on the story. It doesn't affect anything, the characters don't really react to it in any way, and the movie ends before anything actually happens.

It's actually a pretty decent movie, but it's a drama, not sci-fi. It uses "science" purely as an aesthetic device without actually exploring any scientific effects. If the film didn't have the other Earth in the sky the script would be identical. It would just be forgettable indie drama instead of on people's great sci-fi lists.
And the drive to HTTPS was initiated by "evil" Google (like free email with >2GB which was unheard of at the time).
There’s been a lot of talk about AR being all about vision with GoogleGlass, HoloLens, etc

But I think AR has a much better use case with stuff like this but incorporated into AirPods and such. Being able to block bad noise and enhance good noises is fantastic.

Being able to get translation or customized notifications and stuff will be fantastic.

Just simple functions like adjusting the volume down for people you don’t like/are loud or amplify quiet talkers will be great.

The battery isn’t quite good enough yet, but once AirPods last 18 hours I expect this to take off.

My dad is mostly deaf and has gone through thousands of dollars of hearing aides and it was hard to talk with him. He got some Bose headphones (I think 700s) and now can make calls quite easily. It’s a funny situation where it’s easier to have a conversation with him next to you by calling and using FaceTime. He uses this instead of his hearingaides (that require many drives to doctor to test, fit, fix, etc).

I imagine this will be much more widespread once they are smaller and work with reality directly piped in and not requiring a phone to digitize.

Ending CAPTCHAs: Introducing Cryptographic Attestation of Personhood
You write your own parser.

Seriously, I don't use scanf that much in C. Most of the times, it doesn't do exactly what I want, or there is a more specialized alternative (ex: strtol). Also, generally, %s is bad, even the "safe" variant. For sscanf, it makes a copy, which is inefficient (if you are writing C, you want efficient code, right?) and you have to know the size in advance, and usually, you don't.

Most of my string manipulation in C involves loops, pointers and a lot of in-place manipulation. It is tedious compared to other languages but it is very efficient, the reason I picked C in the first place.
> It’s well worth it to make the BI team go through an API, even spend the effort on a well-designed one to give them a nice experience doing so.

In an ideal world yes. But sometimes, the engineering team wants nothing to do with the data itself, and so the BI team is often left to do what they can with what they have in order to do their job at all.

Being a data engineer, both sides of the coin often fall on me, and so I understand the difficulties on both side. Almost always (anecdotally, so take with grain of salt), the problem lies with upper management because they aren't willing to invest the time to actually build a proper infrastructure in place; the focus is on building features to satisfy clients, without much thought on how this can affect the overall internal system, and so both sides have to rush to do things without thinking how it affects the other side. However, it likely won't change because at the end of the day, the client is happy - whether or not this is a "unfortunate reality" of business/tech, is a discussion for another day.

> Lisp is one of the oldest programming languages that is still in use today

I don’t like that this keeps getting repeated. Common Lisp is different from the original Lisp and other modern Lisps are even more different. It’s like saying Algol is one of the oldest programming languages still in use today, because many Algol-descendants are quite popular still.
You can still read the articles on our blog, if you're interested. The book is based on them.
Those figures are for Google's services, so all those services can do TLS, but some of the clients don't.

However the step change for HTTPS over the wider web is mostly a bunch of related mutually enabling changes:

* Let's Encrypt launches

* Google slightly penalizes plaintext HTTP in search

* Browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox at least) stop offering new features outside Secure Context (so HTTPS for public sites) and begin deprecating or reducing scope of some older features outside that context.

On smaller sites also don't underestimate

* Prevalence of browsers/ devices without SNI falls a lot so...

* Many bulk hosting sites begin offering cheap or free HTTPS virtual hosting, with SNI, where previously they only offered IP hosting for HTTPS at higher prices.

In 2005 if I wanted my new one-joke web site to have HTTPS that's a bunch of extra money, for one corny joke, it's not worth it. Today, it's zero extra effort, if I make a new site it has HTTPS by default of course. If I see somebody whose host is trying to charge them money for this, these days it's rarely worth chipping in "You are being ripped off" because somebody else will be typing that already.

Yes and no. Ireland may seem materially better off than they were before, but they've effectively been recolonized. Putting aside matters of tax evasion, these corporations aren't sticking to just employing labor. They're also politically influential. The rapid shift in Irish cultural norms in recent years is jaw-dropping.
Yeah that's a good point, I didn't really think about it too hard but usually you just go straight from the `.S` to the `.o` and more-or-less skip the intermediate.
Cannot agree more. If I remembered correctly, there was such an obvious bug in 'Gravity' that in the orbit, if you want to catch up with another object in front of you, you cannot simply accelerate, or you will result in getting further from it. In stead you will have to decelerate first and then accelerate again. The result is counter intuitive, I remember that simply because I did not believe it at first and as a result we did such calculation on the blackboard while I was in high school.

Hamburg is a state, and laws are generally executed by the states in Germany. That includes federal and union laws. So that's perfectly normal. I don't know if the the injunction technically applies to all of Germany, but since Facebook doesn't necessarily know if someone is from Hamburg, it probably doesn't matter in practice.

In the long run, you can only operate in a jurisdiction in which you are welcome. Especially when your position is unique like Facebook's. A foreign company that openly ignores the law is not and I can only attribute Facebook's behaviour to arrogance.

Looking for tech cofounder, marketplace for DEFI/Crypto – getwido.com
Co founder needed! https://getwido.com

I have a great idea that needs to be built, asap. If I don't do it, someone else will. I have been working on it for a couple of weeks and need someone technical to join me in building the MVP and raising first money. I have validated it with a few potential customers and found strong interest.

So what's the problem Wido is trying to solve?

It will help anyone discover crypto and make passive income on it. It will allow people to learn from other crypto investors to earn the same. It also allows users to share their investment activities with others, thus creating a social or collaborative investment platform. Wido is also a platform for developers who build those investment products.

It's like Venmo on crypto steroids.

If you are not interested in crypto, this is probably not for you.

I am looking for a strong technical cofounder with passion for crypto. Someone who wants to join something big for the long run. This is a multi year project with a potential to change how people think about and use their money.

Something about myself: I am technical too. I studied computer science and spent few years working as an engineer. Then I moved into product where I spent another few years. I have experience from big companies (Microsoft) as well as startups (Appear Here in London, named the AirBnB for retail by The Guardian). You can learn more about me here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mazurroman/

We are in a rush here! It's not about what or why, its about WHEN. We need to build it ASAP.

If you are interested, please get in touch: roman@getwido.com Include: why do you want to join and what's the best way to contact you. We will then chat and I am happy to share much more about Wido including early prototype.

Please upvote if you are not interested to let others see it.

Spearmint – JavaScript Test-Code Generator – New In-App Testing
Good morning HN!

Today we are launching a new tool called Spearmint!

In short, this tool generates executable JavaScript test-code based on custom data input from the developer.

We've added new tools to test accessibility and added the ability to run generated tests within the application with a new
fully functional in-app terminal!

Download our app:
https://www.spearmintjs.com/

Check out the code (and give us a STAR!):
https://github.com/open-source-labs/spearmint

Read our Medium article (and give 50 claps please!):

Thank you so much for having a look and we hope you find Spearmint useful.
It's funny to see "the real devs" rediscover the reasons why "fizzbuzz corporate" looks like it does.
I am sure they thought about the "PR" consequences of shutting this service down. My guess is the number of users are comparatively so low that it doesn't really matter. I doubt any of their major enterprise customers were using it.
If you're in the UK and you're really making something in your spare time that might be worth anywhere near as much as your paid income you should really be contracting/self employed. The company will be wondering why you aren't completely focused on their work as generally managers won't understand why people are doing their work as a hobby as well as having a free time job. I do know a couple of employees who added exemptions to their contracts, but if your aspiration is really to be earning from your own projects you need to be considering contracting.

Weaponized FOMO in realtime at a worldwide scale. It's a tough societal problem to solve.

With good old pyramid schemes it took a lot more work to it off the ground. Now you can just astroturf on Reddit, Discord and the big social networks with your fancy new "revolutionary" cryptothingy and you're making millions.

I've been following the DogeCoin pump on reddit over the past couple of months, it's absolutely transparent that it's a pure pump with no fundamentals but people buy into it because they think they're early enough not to be left holding the bags. IMO the Gamestop thing is mostly exactly the same, but obviously the situation is more complex there.
Most of these are pretty meaningless in my view, but the AF-S NIKKOR 200mm f/2G ED VR II is legendary and will be missed. They have not yet announced a mirrorless version to my knowledge, which makes sense because it has to be a pretty low-sales-volume lens.

Mirrorless is clearly the way of future, though, and hopefully they will eventually release a mirrorless-native version (with, I'm sure, even more incredible performance).
Scientists probe impact of Indian Covid variant on vaccine efficacy
I'd like to help you see how to write more concise messages. Here's how I'd rewrite your entire message:

"This is a very complex subject matter, and I don't know how to express my thoughts on it concisely. I don't want to get downvoted for my long-windedness."

It's less than a 1/5 of characters, but conveys just as much of the on-topic and non-meta parts of your response.
Am I the only one who really hates these opaque landing pages? They all just look the same and you never know what the hell is actually being sold. Like that popwork one he's glowing over in the video.

It's like you're walking down the street and bums keep handing you shiny wrapped presents. At first they all look shiny and you want to open it but then you've opened enough of them to know they're probably full of shit.

So I stop bothering opening them. No, I don't want to create an account and give you my email so that you can spam me for months merely to know what's inside the box. Frankly my next stop is finding a video on YouTube of someone actually showing how to use... whatever it is. Or people talking about using it in a forum or something.

How to Avoid Rambling in Pitch Deck Presentations
> Parties can prove things without others needing to trust anyone.

Yes, but the only things you can prove without trust are events that happen 100% inside the blockchain. Which, AFAICT the only use for a system that works that way that I've seen is cryptocurrency. The other one people were really hot on was supply chain, but, from what I understand, when you have supply chain trust issues, they don't look like "oh gee someone edited a database record", they look more like https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-09/trader-bu...

Which, ironically, that's not a great use case for cryptocurrency either. Traditional escrow services are a better fit. If the trader had bought that tanker full of rocks with BTC, there would have been no way to reverse the transaction after it had been determined to be fraudulent.

So, yeah, blockchain is mathematically provable to have certain properties. But, like with any proof, those properties only hold for as long as the proof's assumptions hold. And it's really, really difficult for us laypeople to recognize when the assumptions do or do not hold when they're defined in terms of technical jargon that uses a familiar term like "trust" but assigns it a subtly but critically different definition from the everyday meaning.
They invest on behalf of the house.
TLDR: it's a solid-state lithium-metal battery design which is able to stop the growth of lithium dendrites which usually make that design unstable; lithium-metal has higher energy density and sustains currents that could fully charge a car in "10 to 20 minutes".

Usual disclaimer: "the flexibility and versatility of our multilayer design makes it potentially compatible with mass production procedures in the battery industry. Scaling it up to the commercial battery won’t be easy and there are still some practical challenges, but we believe they will be overcome.”

In every book I've read on the subject they mentioned going underground to protect against radiation. The lack of a thick magnetosphere apparently means any surface equipment / personel would be subject to unacceptably high quantities of solar radiation.

Whenever there is a collision involving light aircraft the question of anti-collision systems comes up. Unfortunately the powers that be have completely failed to come up with a workable standard for such aircraft. The glider people eventually just gave up on waiting and now use a proprietary system called FLARM which has fairly good adoption. There is more than one system of that type available for light powered aircraft with not very good adoption. Each system is entirely incompatible with each other, including the standardized ones used in heavy commercial aviation.
Hey HN! We posted this before when it was in very early stages. It's still a work in progress, but the website is live and all the chapters are available online or as a PDF download.

I've taught a lot of Python and I think this book (adapted from How to Think Like a Computer Scientist") is the best mix of practice and theory and is usually what I recommend to people as a 'fixed syllabus' when they are overwhelmed by all the options.
