Google search. Totally broken since March/April. Worked solidly for 5 years (requiring fine tuning of course, but it worked). Something has changed
Clang was created by Apple, LLVM wasn't.

From wikipedia:

The LLVM project started in 2000 at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, under the direction of Vikram Adve and Chris Lattner. LLVM was originally developed as a research infrastructure to investigate dynamic compilation techniques for static and dynamic programming languages. LLVM was released under the University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License, a permissive free software licence. In 2005, Apple Inc. hired Lattner and formed a team to work on the LLVM system for various uses within Apple's development systems. LLVM is an integral part of Apple's latest development tools for macOS and iOS.

Apple chose to develop a new compiler front end from scratch, supporting C, Objective-C and C++. This "clang" project was open-sourced in July 2007.

Are you passionate about mental health? At Big Health, we're building a digital therapeutics platform that uses clinically proven techniques to help our users deal with the problems of worry and sleeplessness. Our evidence-based techniques draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and are already helping people back to good mental health.

We value tenacity, humility, ingenuity and soul. In my interactions with my colleagues, these shine through on a daily basis.

I'm working on the enrollment team as a backend engineer, and we're also hiring full stack engineers and front end engineers. All our roles are available up to fully remote, and we are able to hire candidates able to work in the US and the UK.

We have a micro-service architecture deployed on AWS Lambda, with Serverless, and the backend is written in Python 3.6. On the front-end, we use React and Typescript.

Yup, and as per the Internet's one golden rule (of which we have at least a dozen), "Do not (ab)use downvotes to disagree, put your disagreement in writing or stay silent".

It is frowned upon here, but not against the rules. Downvotes on HN should, optimally, only be used to downvote comments that truly do not add anything to the conversation constructively.

qwerty's comment, imo, was constructive, as that is a common use case of ytdl: to watch a video without being explicitly tracked by Youtube; although Youtube still does track you, but in ways that probably violate EU law, and might violate US law too.
How do you like it? I like the taste of beer, and often want something more than water at night. But, I don't typically have alcohol except on the weekends (my wife and I joke about 2 beers and things are getting crazy lol). So during the week I often drink milk or a sugar free sports drink. Tea is also ok, but I try to avoid all caffeine late in the day.

There are downsides to eating Oreos, but we don't need articles which state obvious facts.

Much wrong has been done in this country by telling people their behavior is a moral. As long as you don't hurt me or anyone else do whatever you want, you're free to drink yourself silly every night
From my (not op) experiences, oh yes.
Just last night I was talking to a potential bar investor and one of the huuuuge talking points was " how do we cater for the americans?"
Hmm, do you have some example of these dangerous scenarios? I suspect a lot of tools have come to think of the "file path" as the identifier for a file. So of course they would break if that classification were to be reorganized, like if two parent categories were to swap. I would call that an abuse of the file system though. But the status quo is what it is. Most file systems already have lots of other metadata built in that can be used to access the inode or whatever you call your data structure. My point is, accessing data in a more general case is a search operation.

As far as an external tag store, that is basically what a search index is. And Recoll is full-text, so each file has a shit-ton of tags associated with it. You then just pass the -m flag to the indexer, and it monitors for file modifications, and updates the index accordingly. I have not noticed a significant performance impact there. Mostly just the initial index operation sucks.
The assumption stated is that we should imagine that we are part of the population of intelligent species and then imagine are we in a big country or a small country.... well the thing is if we say that the country is our species then that says things about homo saps. But we could just as well say that we are in the group of rapidly emerging soon to go extinct species, which would make us typical but with no species specific characteristic. Our biology, morphology and origin are probably irrelevant when characterizing us.
You don't always need "no downtime deployments", few minutes are tolerated in many environments (I work in enterprise software, where it could be days!).

Backups? You only need backups or the Db, and that have zero impact in the use of docker or not*

*ie: I know what very complex setups the micro-service crow use for serve their smalls-size disruptive app. I still think cron + pg_dump + rsync is more than enough...
How to integrate a containerized application with the Elastic Stack
I still don't understand. And I mean this genuinely. Except for Guy Verhofstadt, I haven't heard any politician talk about creating a single country out of the EU for years. I'm pretty sure most EU politicians have shelved that plan definitively.
I have been doing my job for over 15 years and I still require input from my colleagues. Does that make me a junior? Of course it doesn't. Stop doing this immediately.

It takes time to learn your way in a new environment. Sometimes the odd duck finds a way.
Side note. I worked on a systems implementation for medical billing that moved from OpenVMS to a Java/IE only monstrosity.

I've never missed a simple system so much. The impact on EVERY professional (not just tech / accounting / it / billing) of this switch was a monumental disaster.

The old system just worked. Even better, it was very focused on key data points (aka efficient).

The new system was so complicated - to login you needed to get through a weird web based VPN, then a second VPN thing for the platform, then login to the system. All on 30 day password rotation (three passwords to get in) and impossible to get hardware tokens. All on an old version of IE and Java (yes, constant java popups asking to update). We had to downgrade machines to allow for connections.

And the new system had been designed obviously by committee, so endless repetitive questions that were variants on each other. Literally 10's to 100's of additional fields to enter. Race, national origin, ethnicity (some staff and even participants don't know how these are all different!). I've never seen more money spent for more frustration (I ended up leaving the space entirely).

By the end of the implementation I absolutely missed our green screen system - all keyboard driven (so FAST even on older machines), a single VPN and then a login to connect (we ran latest Windows but had a terminal emulator connection to the green screen - think Putty style).
It is how the CC works.

They're two separate conscious entities after the CC.

See the wiki page on Split-brain for an overview.
I thought they already used holography to make masks with certain repeating patterns.
Thanks for the tips :-)
> I would suggest that this probably isn't the case.

It is; both the theoretical and empirical support for this being the effect of FPTP is overwhelming.

> They can be acheived by splitting other parties, but while Party A can choose to form a superparty eith Party B, it can’t choose to durably split Party C instead. Parties in FPTP will, to the extent that they can get away with it, funnel support to minor party candidates that will split the vote of their major opponent, but that’s a short-term tactical rather than long-term strategic maneuver.

> The parties have more targeted appeal, just enough to squeak past the other parties. This is the case in India, for example.

It’s really not, though India is complicated by being a federal system (which means a bunch of different electoral area with different and interacting party systems) and being in the middle of a long realignment from, at the national level, a dominant-party system under Congress (and looks a lot like at least temporarily to a dominant party system under BJP, again at the national level.)

For the multiple selections feature, how is that different from vim's visual selection paired with additional commands?

For example, in vim I typically visually select a block and then run :s/foo/bar or hit > to indent etc

Is the flow on helix that different? Does it save a keystroke?
That could sounds interesting to to a lawmaker, but it wouldn't change anything in practice. Those hacks don't come directly from the authors nicely identified by their affiliation and location. They'll come from a trusted node in the US. Some many already do.

I don't know much about STT-MRAM, so I'll avoid making a fool of myself. Looking more into the details is on my TODO. Look at the datasheets and make your choice, as usual. I am not sure how the situation will evolve on either side, my understanding is that FRAM could be more energy-efficient.

Well, hafnium can be used to make ferroelectric crystals, that are necessary for ferroelectric memories (FRAM). The most used ferroelectric material is PZT, which has lead, and is a nightmare for CMOS compatibility due to contamination issues, and temperatures.

It's a bit light on the details, but maybe I should point you towards the video that explains our project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8tL-nN7G-A

The most exciting part might not be the performance (though it looks good), but the way ferroelectrics can be used for new circuits (variable treshold transistors thanks to FeFETs). Hafnium has been used in gate oxides for a few years now so it's quite compatible with CMOS.
The most obvious one to me, especially affecting a meat producer, is activism. Disrupting supply chains for meat production could very well drive demand for plant-based alternatives, and if it becomes a cost of doing business, perhaps it would balance out massive subsidies which keep meat prices competitive with prices for plant-based meats.
I heard this statistic (fwiw) here in the US: 10% of a liquor store's customers are responsible for 90% of the sales.

That doesn't mean some fraction are drinking 10X what everybody else is. It means some fraction are drinking 81X what a normal person does.

So yes it's a bipolar drinking culture in the US. Some folks drink, a lot, way too often. The rest drink occasionally or not at all (the liquor stores don't count those that never go into the store).
I agree, but in these cities it's such a problem that you can't use these spaces anyway because people set up their tents there. I also agree it's a band-aid, but it's a much better band-aid than the existing attempts, as far as my understanding. And to be clear, had the local gov. considered this, they could have provided the solution themselves, which would have made it safer and better, and in theory, faster.
Nuclear deterrence is basically "whoever nukes first gets nuked second". As long as retaliation is assured, no country (barred extremists) will start a nuclear war unless someone else fired at them first. Nuclear weapons will only be used against non-nuclear countries.

Reagan wanted to upset that balance with his failed "Star Wars" program, but seeing how the nuclear powers interact, it seems no one has achieved asymmetrical nuking. Yet.
The recent concern is a situation where Russia or China know that the US is unable to retaliate without pushing the nuclear button and is also unwilling to push the nuclear button.

In the cold war a lot of military planning effort went into ensuring that direct conflict between the US and Soviet Union would escalate to nuclear conditions fast by ensuring that American forces were always in the critical path of a Soviet invasion of Europe. In reality the Americans would have lost a conventional war in Europe quickly, but this reality also ensured tactical nukes would be used to protect against a route and that the Soviets would need to respond with strategic weapons.

There is no trigger for a nuclear war if China invades Taiwan, and there is a lot which could go wrong in SK, Japan, or southeast Asia before nukes entered the picture. Arguably the US nuclear deterrent in Europe is also approaching the point where one could credibly assume that the US wouldn't escalate to nuclear war.

As smart munitions become commonplace its hard to see a world where a country escalates to a wold ending nuclear response over a few thousand well targeted cruise missiles. Even a crippling attack on the continental US military-industrial base with ~100k cruise missiles wouldn't have a fraction of the casualties a single strategic bomb would carry.
I noticed something similar. I quit drinking ~4 months ago once I realized I was drinking way too much during quarantine.

Since then I can't stop noticing the prevalence of alcohol in nearly all aspects of pop culture. Even innocuous seeming sitcoms have episodes where the whacky, lovable characters drink to excess and have to deal with a hangover.
It seems to me that behavioral data is jointly owned by users and websites. "Here is what user X did on website Y." Can website Y share data with an ad network about that user? Can user X share data with an ad network about that website?
How so? Can't attack from abroad if non-trusted states have trouble even getting packets routed to the target state, let alone the specific network you're trying to breach. Very hard to attack from inside the "firewall" if access is, as a condition of being considered a trusted routing peer, gated by tying all traffic to a personal or corporate ID that would cause all kinds of trouble for the holder of same IDs should they route traffic on some bad actor's behalf (as, say, through Tor or other means).
Please be serious. The only time the USSR did anything like how the US does this was the Cuban missile crisis. There have never been a ring of Russian army bases, nuclear missiles, airfields with nuclear capable bombers, etc. around the US. It has happened once on a tiny scale in modern history by someone else than the US and it almost started WW3.
I really can't wait for my fleeting happiness of seeing their next processor!

The rumors really describe the perfect machine for me and many people's use cases.

Any Americans here know the reason why the military is excluded from the usual argument for small government?
By "Mathematical Statistics" you mean a subset of statistics, yes? Because I pointed out several areas of statistics which can be taught without calculus or linear algebra, like Bayes' Theorem.

"If you mean Statistics as in the introductory undergraduate stats course ..." While I mentioned my being in an undergraduate stats course, the LA Times piece and most of the references I gave refer to secondary education, not tertiary. So, no I don't mean that.

The AP Statistics test in the US doesn't require calculus. "Recommended Prerequisites: A second-year course in algebra" at https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-statistics , suggesting it's "College Course Equivalent [is] A one-semester, introductory, non-calculus-based college course in statistics".

To double check, https://tb2cdn.schoolwebmasters.com/accnt_42975/site_42976/M... shows Statistical Reasoning with Algebra 2 as a prerequisite, and AP Stats require only pre-calculus. https://www.pike.k12.in.us/userfiles/15934/my%20files/2018-2... requires Algebra 2.

Which means statistics is already being taught in high schools, without calculus or linear algebra. Do you really think those courses are 'murdering' the interest of most students any more than any of the other classes they take?

The argument, quite clearly made by the math education advocates in California, is that the traditional math education progression is just that - tradition. The pieces can be put together in different ways and still give a good education, only with a balance which is more appropriate for more people.

I find knowing about Bayes' Theorem to be much more useful than integration by parts, but the former was never taught in my high school. And I haven't used the latter in over 20 years.

No, a high school stats course isn't going to be rigorous Mathematical Statistics. But then again, a high school calculus course also isn't rigorous Analysis.

In high school I used cosine and log functions on my calculator, without knowing how they were computed. I certainly couldn't have done it by hand outside of a few well-known special cases. From what I infer looking at things like https://www.northernhighlands.org/cms/lib/NJ01000179/Centric... , the goal of stats education is to understand how to use and apply a tool like linear fitting, and what concepts like "correlation" and "residual" mean, not the full underlying mathematical treatment.

Entirely appropriate for high school, yes? Otherwise, when and how should students learn that sales prediction, height prediction, etc. are not esoteric concepts but things they can do themselves?
You put this brilliantly. Especially the last bit about credentials, what a silly, silly person.
I think the Iron Dome works well in Israel because the scale of the attacks they're dealing with is relatively limited. Large-scale nation state warfare is a completely different ball game.

In fact, what you're talking about sounds similar to Reagan's "Strategic Defense Initiative" [0], which ultimately failed/morphed into another agency, the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO).

In 2002 the BMDO morphed into the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), whose stated mission is to "develop and deploy a layered Missile Defense System to defend the United States, its deployed forces, allies, and friends from missile attacks in all phases of flight." [1]

Interestingly, the MDA co-developed the "Arrow" family of anti-ballistic missiles in conjunction with Israel [2].

The ideas you're suggesting have certainly floated through the halls of DC, and Israel and the US clearly work together very closely on these initiatives.
