The expected impact of these changes in testing is that admissions will be less about merit, and effectively punish Asian students who are on average more meritorious and therefore earn more college seats than you would expect based on their population numbers. Therefore these other discussions about “holistic” admissions processes are also worth visiting:

Uh - these are user devices - don't most users run multiple apps? It seems some kind of upper limit per app is not totally unreasonable. What's the OOM killer equiv on ipad?

>but in my opinion it has been a net negative for society for quite a while now.

What is Twitter but a reflection of our own society? These people really exist and they really have these views. I don't like the idea of banning someone for simply holding a view, or forcing someone to align with an ideology of choice. "Platform X is awful" is actually "People are awful".

>What I would enjoy would be a button to hide all the accounts that post more often than once per day. Because chances are the people who talk too much have no time to think about what they're saying.

Why not just avoid Twitter ? In any transactional setting you need to give something to get something. Twitter as a commercial entity needs users frequenting their platform and as therefore most comments on any social media platform are low going to be low quality (including HN).
I had a very similar problems with MiniHack app on my older iPhone, that it stopped working after iOS 14.5 upgrade, but which still worked on a newer iPhone 11 that also runs 14.5.

Came to these comments specifically to find a reason for that (reinstalling an app was not an option because I think the app no longer is visible in the App Store).

Thanks to @xuki, I tried offloading and reinstalling the app, and it fixed the problem!
>What I would enjoy would be a button to hide all the accounts that post more often than once per day.

Yes, that could also monetise it so it is only two free post per day and accumulate maximum of 10 before twitter charge them $ per tweet.

And more RSS Reader like features.

I could categorise people into different topics. Today I dont want to see any shit storm on politics, so I wont click on it. I only want to see tech and economics.

Right now moving to list and making them working in harmony with the main feed is a bag of hurt.
That code wasn't the basis for unicode, where the mentioned characters have different offset in the common Chinese plane:

(map 'list (lambda (c) (- (char-code c) #x4e00)) "你他我")
--> (352 214 5137)

But then, unicode has 20902 ideograms in that plane, while this typewriter had a shorter selection of 5400 ideograms.
Webflow has zero lock-in. It spits out static sites with standard semantic HTML/CSS and you can take the code anywhere. They also have an API, so you can export collections.

Squarespace, yes, you're locked in.

The problem I have with Twitter is that it's too people centric. For example, I like to follow finance news, so I could probably find some Twitter accounts that post about that. But surely the people running those accounts would also post about other interests they have besides finance. I probably won't really care about their other interests so all of their non-finance related posts would just be noise in my feed.

On the other hand, there are topic centric social networks like Reddit where it's a lot easier to find and follow just the news about a specific niche (like finance).

I'm not totally against the people centric model. I think it can work well in social networks like Facebook and Instagram that are more friends and family focused, but I don't really get that vibe from Twitter.
> whether your code was dependant on the GPL implementation

It's rather "whether your work", not only your code. GNAT generates runtime library dependencies even if you are not aware of it. So the result is a "combined work", because the runtime library is linked to your code (otherwise your application wouldn't work).

What is more funny for me is my parents. When I first moved out they 'helped me out'. Sure some of it I still use to this day. But a good portion of it was them getting rid of their stuff.

Another lesson I learned was not to be too quick to take other peoples left overs. I was really bad with computers for a bit on that one. A few trips to a local computer recycler later and that issue was cleared up. That is not even moving international that is this junk is in the way of things I do use. What was a little sad was one large stack of game magazines (2 decades worth). Like 2-3 weeks after I dumpstered the things someone on a forum was asking if anyone had them! doh! I am right now looking at a dumb period where I was buying lots of lego. What am I going to do with that? I have culled the 'easy' stuff. Now it is the 'what am I going to do with that' sort of items... When the reality is I do not really want to spend any more time at all on them. So that junk sits in boxes...
Keep it up Andreas and don’t give up ever , your story is inspiring to many.
I appreciate that!! This is very much just for the Hacker News audience, moving a very important task into the background of our day to day.

But definitely noted, thank you.
> But are collusions a cause for an ISP raising there prices when there are no competitors?

I think the argument is that collusions are one of a small number of reasons there aren't competitors. I.e., the act of raising prices in the absence of competition is all fine and dandy from a quasi-free market perspective, but there should be more competition.
I'd not heard of that but it seems fairly accurate. It seems related to pg's idea of middle-brow dismissal.
Try taking a step back to see it : In essence you have a simple local model, which thanks to a neat mathematical trick, gives the same experimental results than QM,
which according to bell theorem should have been impossible.

It's evidence of the reasoning bug.

A circular reasoning logical fallacy due to the definition of what measurement and entanglement is.

Assume you are a creature living in a simulated local universe which works according to the above code,
you can make the same measurements QM did and you could be holding all the arguments that Bell did and conclude that the world is non-local.
Which is false by definition.
No, we just believe in the mission of privacy and they seem like the biggest supporters in the business. They paved the road we now walk upon, so its due to give them something back.

*edit- Seeing comments below, I can see the issues. We will remove the 'Support the EFF' banner for now until we can do it in a better manner.
And it's less of a tethering cap and more of a soft cap to stop egregious users. I tether pretty frequently on Verizon and have never noticed any slowdowns.
I don't think that's the only thing going on. Twitter has code written and an ML model trained to actively and intentionally surface material of indeterminate quality that is likely to drive engagement. HN has people using moderation and upvoting to surface material of high quality assuming that drives engagement.

I compiled a list of modern replacements for unix commands [0]. While many of them are written in Rust, there are C, Go, and Python programs on that list as well, because I feel the point is not what language the tool is written in, as long as it solves a problem or is an improvement over existing tooling in some way. Not a knock against this list, I just think it is better to list all tools that may be useful to people, rather than excluding some simply because of the creator's choice of language.

I was hanging out with a friend of mine from high school, who is now a tenured math professor in Colorado, about a decade ago. This was just as ECC was getting popular among security people but hadn't really entered nerd mainstream yet.

He mentioned that he was working on elliptic curves, so I asked him how his work applies to ECC, and he asked me, "what's ECC?".

He had no idea his work was being used for security research. He just liked studying the properties of elliptic curves. After we chatted he did en up learning about how elliptic curves are used in cryptography.
> What is Twitter but a reflection of our own society?

A society in which the village idiot gets a megaphone and can cheat his/her way into amplifying that megaphone with no recourse? Or a terrorist disguised as a village idiot can do the same? Then sure yes Twitter is a great personification of our current society(ies).
It's a fair point, but I find I can get along quite well using the new tools myself interactively and falling back to the standard versions if I need to write a shareable script. For me the degree to which ripgrep is better for day-to-day use more than outweighs the cost of remembering how to use grep once in a while.

> I can successfully avoid companies that require LeetCode interviews. I thought I would be out of the market if I rejected such companies, but it turns out that's false! In my limited experience, around 50% of companies out there do not require LeetCode-kind-of interviews.

How do you know this detailed information ahead of time? It's not a surprise companies say they'll do technical questions, but those specific to LeetCode? They don't share that.
Please don't use quoting conventions to make it seem like you're quoting someone when you're not. That was seriously misleading, and a destructive trick to pull.

Although that's not an explicit rule in the site guidelines, I think it's pretty clear that your comment broke more than one of the rules that are: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. It's also a flamewar tropes to switch some words around and act like the person said that when they didn't. Please don't do flamewar tropes on HN. Clichés are tedious and uninteresting to begin with, and the flamewar ones are poison.

Edit: it also looks like your account has been using HN primarily for flamewar. We ban accounts that do that. If you wouldn't mind reviewing the guidelines and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
> I.e. These rules CHANGE, and since they change(and have changed in the past) if you can convince a majority, you can change the rules to be whatever you want.

False, everyone running a node is enforcing whatever rules their node is written to enforce.

You could have 99% of the hashpower, if you generated a block saying that Coinbase is handing over all their Bitcoin to you (with an invalid signature because you don't have their private key), their node and the nodes of most/all exchanges and businesses would just go "lol, wtf is this shit, not a valid block because it has a transaction with an invalid signature, ignored".

A majority of hashpower is not the same as a majority of economic participants.
>but where there is cable (and the cable is somewhat-ish affordable), people will choose cable over 5G.

I think you may be surprised. In my old area, people are leaving Comcast in droves for T-Mobile's 5G service, not because it's all that much better or all that much cheaper, but because they've been taking it from Comcast for two decades now and they finally have an opportunity to show their displeasure.

I mention this every time "critical thinking" is brought up.

Critical thinking is a skill that is almost useless to most people and can lead to being a net negative. It's the skill of critique. One can be amazing at critical thinking and be absurdly terrible at constructive thinking. Politics in general needs far less critique and far more construction. It's really bad to get people very aware of just how badly they're exploited but then to give them no potential solutions to solve it. That's basically what wokism has done recently. Every solution proposed by them is so unpalatable to the rest of the nation that there is no place for constructing new policies.

The left has this problem especially bad since the radical left makes being really good at critique a whole component of their intellectual tradition:

> No wonder it hasn't become a toxic wasteland.

It is a toxic wasteland, though, at least sometimes. Also depends on who you are and how you experience the world - HN can be a very ugly place.

HN is no cakewalk. There are lots of very vocal climate deniers, homophobes, Nazis, etc. here. I've been called hateful slurs on HN that nobody has said to me anywhere else. Much of this flies under the radar of the mods and the users are frequently not warned or banned.

HN suffers all the same problems as Twitter or any of the others.
The Anglosphere is awash with these kind of visas and universities.

The ultimate outcome is to enrich University executives, drive down the quality of education (due to rampant cheating, overlooked when the students are paying customers), and to flood the local economy with cheap labour - typically young men from countries with gender imbalances.

If the USA wants to attract immigrant entrepreneurs the simplest way to do it is to enact open borders agreements with other high-HDI countries:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Human_Dev...

And secondly to ensure gender equality and diversity at the underlying intake level by mandating a maximum 49% males from any one country, and a maximum 10% of the total from any one country.
I appreciate the first image in TFA is supposed to just be funny but it would actually be useful to have an output like that. Some of those analyses are tougher than others to code but a subset of them are not entirely out of the realm of possibility.

I'm not a language lawyer, but I'm pretty sure with x86 and x86_64 ELF dynamic symbols, &func is the address of the program linkage table (PLT) entry for the dynamic symbol, in the current ELF executable/library.

The executable has its own PLT. Each library has its own PLT. The executable has its own global offset table (GOT). Each library has its own GOT. A given dynamically linked function will have one PLT entry and one GOT entry in each library that calls it. After the function's actual global entry point has been resolved, its address will be in the GOT entry. However, symbol resolution can be done lazily, and we don't want taking the address of a function to potentially perform the lookup, so I think the function address is just the start of the PLT entry.

For instance, if the executable and several libraries it loads all call printf, they'll each have their own tiny machine code stub (PLT entry) that (after dynamic symbol resolution) just jumps to the actual printf implementation. The executable will use the start of its PLT entry for printf as its address for printf. Each library will use the start of its PLT entry for printf as its address for printf.

The PLT entry is a tiny machine code stub within the same library or executable that does an indirect jump to the address held in a global offset table (GOT) entry. For lazily resolved symbols, the GOT is initialized to the address of a stub that does the dynamic symbol resolution and overwrites the GOT entry with the correct address (and then jumps to that address). Any later function call will still hit the PLT and jump to the address in the GOT, but the GOT will now point to the actual start of the function.
Wow, Andreas Kling is really inspiring.

Most people in the world care about money, and practicing leetcode is worth way more money per time spent than basically anything else for a talented programmer, up until you hit the level where you can get into top paying companies.

You can get into well paying jobs without it, but then you need skills that are way harder to practice and usually you also need a lot of personal connections as those jobs often selects friends.

Yeeeah but no. Companies (especially those ones) can have plenty of good reasons to need more control / custom code / integrations / etc. I think a lot of people don't realize how crippling and limiting committing to Webflow can be, and how much you end up hacking around it. Raises hand

I made a comment above about my friend who is a math professor studying number theory and elliptic curves, and had no idea his work was being use for cryptography. He just liked studying elliptic curves.

Compared to HTML/CSS/JS, Beads is much simpler. You can learn Beads in probably under 10 hours, while CSS takes at least 100 hours to master.

Most of the older popular languages like C, C++, Java, have huge external libraries you have to learn to make graphical interactive software.

So for the target application area, which is graphical interactive software, Beads is far simpler, and has many features to avoid error at compile time, and keep running with fault tolerance at execution time.

Nah, middleboxes are garbage. The security features they claim to offer are all snakeoil checkbox-ware, businesses and government agencies/state-controlled telcos use them because they have a nominal compliance obligation to do a thing so they buy a middlebox that they can wave their arms at when the auditor/commissar comes around.

Generalized "optimizer" middleboxes don't actually work in real world performance testing, with the possible exception of machines that apply dumb global queue discipline to fix a defective buffering device somewhere else in the network, but these don't need to do packet inspection at all, just byte-counting/early-drop.

Traffic shaping mostly only works in the endpoint, but aside from that, all you need is src/dest/byte count to do as good as traffic shaping as it is possible to do without being circumvented trivially (by the far end, without the users knowledge, thanks to the web letting the server script the client)

If you want to run a totalitarian state, do what actually competent totalitarian states do and take over the endpoints.
