There are two bonus capabilities from using the form:valid hack:

1. The input element(s) can now be anywhere on the page. You can, for example, use adjacency to style a control button, without torturing your HTML to squeeze the button into being a sibling of whatever it's activating.

2. You can use form:valid as a parent selector i.e. as a wrapper element. You couldn't use an input:checked as a parent selector because the <input> element's content model is "nothing" i.e. there are no child elements under an <input>, but you sure can with a <form>. The result is less brittle to code-rot.

This is extremely freeing and allows you to use, for example, a :checked adjacency for styling an activation button and a wrapper element (a form:valid) for the large complex component (modal? drop-down? slideover? video content?) that it activates. Heck, it can even be an iframe. Here's the bones of an example:

https://codepen.io/inopinatus/pen/vYxrOeR?editors=1100

There are two downsides:

1. Behaviour of some elements is different inside a <form>. Most obviously, don't nest a <form> inside with the same scope.

2. Your HTML maybe become a mess of scattered <form>, <input>, and <label> elements that many other developers will look at and say "WTF was this person thinking" and "what does this button do?"
I agree. The original sentence probably makes sense in context for a reader who read the docs from the beginning. I didn't read it, but I assume the author already introduced similar ways to "render a view", so saying "really just another way" implies the new one isn't fundamentally different and not all that important. On the other hand, it can sound annoying for a reader who landed to this page from a search engine. I think it shows the somewhat inevitable tension between documentation as a standlone work and documentation as a random-access reference.

Nevertheless, as the author said, I do find removing the superfluous "just" after the first sentence is warranted. The original text used 3 "just". One "just" in the first sentence is enough. And definitely don't write "painfully simple".

---

On second thought, if this is what you want to express by using a "just", a better idea is to say it explicitly, let me try...

> Mailers is yet another option to render a view. similar to the HTTP module. Instead of rendering a view and sending it over the HTTP protocol, they send it out through email protocols instead.

This can be the better alternative of both versions. Be straightforward, don't use subtle language in a technical document.
I guess you can pick an empty or safe spot from here[1] and send patches to major DHCP server implementations, feels like option 81 "Client FQDN" is already close to that though.

Also do keep in mind that an OS instance can have multiple Ethernet interfaces, and that each interface can have multiple IPs, and that not all DHCP gives out private addresses(University Wi-Fi gave me 133.xx back in the days ... behind NAT!), and that double NAT exists.

Cell phones do wideband codec over lte.

Landlines terminate to 64k ulaw or alaw depending on country.

A wideband cellphone to 64k landline is very clear for voice and has no jitter or packet loss so it's not fatiguing to listen to.
I worked for DSTO, which is kind of the defence version of the CSIRO. Amazing place to work due to the large budgets and lack of any real pressure to deliver anything in particular in any timeframe.

As you said some fantastic projects, but a lot of political budget decisions.
Quite the list. But, you can get rich doing this so fair is fair. Keep your eye on the ball and make sure your employment is benefiting you, because you can be sure your employer is making it work for them. They like to expect a lot from you, make sure to return the favor.
Ask HN: How would you register a domain anonymously?
Not with the intention of using it for anything illegal. Your threat model is not the US government or any three letter agencies. Let us propose that your adversary is a determined media organization or some other corporate entity that has the budget to easily approach an employee or employees of a domain registration company with something an offer of something like $50-100K or more in return for the name of the domain registrant. All it would take is for one employee to take that offer.

So how would you do it?

They really have struggled lately with free speech, the difference between classical liberalism and modern liberalism (which is "free speech that progressives approve"). I hope they figure it out.

Those Uber drivers either have confused unrealized gains with wealth, or have realized those gains by leaving someone else holding the bag. Probably someone else just like them.
If you're reading this from Australia or any other country that drives on the left, removing right turns has the same effect.
> for comparison in the past while working in a warehouse we were bored, and wrapped the newguy in shipping cling wrap, around the chest a couple dozen times. He couldnt breath, we quickly cut it off him, and decided never again.

From watching the video, this thing bears no resemblance to wrapping someone in cling wrap.
I write html by hand as well but I still prefer to use div as general block tag. It's just because I want it be difficult for bots to crawl XD
Is that true? That seems at odds with what the article says.

> What’s more, until the death of Stalin, black and red caviar was very inexpensive and accessible. Actively farmed in the Caspian Sea, it was one of the country’s top exports. But whereas in tsarist times caviar had been willingly consumed, Soviet people didn’t really get it. Some posters even exhorted: "Make yourself eat caviar."

Why would the propagandists push people to eat foods they couldn’t access?
The coolest thing about 20k is that if you can find a way to save 2k, you've increased what you've got by 10%.

There's nothing wrong with investing an amount like 20k for a learning experience but from a returns perspective, just working is almost certainly going to be a better avenue to increase your net wealth in that range.

Investing becomes a lot more useful the further the amount you have saved becomes more removed from your earning / saving potential.
I'm not so sure. It almost looks like the wages going up is getting "priced in" by businesses.
I’d far prefer this to be used on me than a taser or a gun.

This term is totally nebulous. What it means to be the "same person but with different features" or a "different person" is just pure meaningless semantics.
Sadly many people will comment on the headline before they read the article.
America is not special, your citizens don't have more opportunities than the rest of the world, this is the pipe dream people keep telling themselves while they watch their governments flounder their taxes. If you were a truly powerful nation you would have the extra strength to take care of your citizens. But the US has the healthcare provisions of a third world country, and has somehow convinced it's people that this is a feature not a bug.
I commented above, Australia have the Defence Science and Technology Organization (DSTO) which is the military version of the civilian CSIRO. I worked at DSTO for a year, really interesting stuff.
"Obvious" in mathematics is seldom defined. It does, though, have a specific meaning. Something is obvious if applying standard solving techniques without planning ahead will work. That is, backtracking will not be necessary. In this sense, symbolic differentiation is obvious, but symbolic integration is not.
New Algorithm for Modern Quilting
In ontology, you can think of the concept of "table" as being a role that an object can fulfill (possibly for a given period of time) rather than strictly a specific class of object. For example, let's say you move into a new home and haven't set up all the furniture yet, so you temporarily use a crate as a table. Even the phrase "as a table" suggests that it's more of a role than a class. If a crate can be a table, and a crate has no feet, what makes a table with feet more of a table than that? It serves the same utility and can naturally be described as such in conversation.

By that line of thinking, the essence of a table may have very little to do with it's shape, and more to do with it's purpose. But I can see how that just opens up a new rabbit hole to go down...
We've joked a bit like this at work, too. I'm a game developer, currently working on our performance squad, and in a recent discussion about visual quality I, our graphics programmer, suggested we simply transition to ray tracing for everything.
For foreigners or Americans without much exposure to the armed forces, and to save you a search: Tricare is what members of our military receive, active duty and (IIRC) those on full retirement.

However, depending on how you define "socialized", lots of people are covered under several "socialized" programs by the US government, not just Tricare. Medicare (old or disabled people), Medicaid (the very poor), CHIP and things like that (poor kids). Also, if you're counting Tricare, probably any health insurance provided by any level of US government (federal, state, county, city) to government workers should count.

In the end, the US government pays for healthcare (or, at least, much of it—US prices for healthcare are very high, and the way our insurance works means that insurance is just part of how the bills get paid, though a large part) for an high percentage of our population, one way or another.
Cops Are Now Using a High-Tech Lasso on People
I used to work with a system that sent a good amount of real time updates like these and with a lot of jitter. What I don’t get from this blog post (which is very well written, by the way. Thank you!), is if you have all these constraints on your data why do you need to create a system this complicated? Your incoming data array lives purely in memory and you create a local B-tree (or any other index type you like) also in memory. You don’t need to move anything because once you need to read the data, you just read the index. Every 10 seconds a process or a thread reads the ordered data with a FLUSH bit set which tells this merge queue to empty everything out.

The process that calls the FLUSH simply appends more data to a file, relying on tunable mechanics the OS provides (i.e. the commit interval).

The reader of the data that is responsible for querying the data based on user requests would then have to use some kind of an index to locate the correct range of data from the appended-to files. A radix seems to be an excellent choice here.

Any data that arrives more than 10 seconds late is discarded. This would of course have or be a tunable parameter.

Isn’t that all you need from a system like this?
I was also there, and unless we are talking about embedded space, we are approaching a UNIX === Linux monoculture, versus how it used to be.

As you very well point out, BSD lost a lot of mind share, and if it wasn't for macOS, it would probably matter even less.

Hence why it matters to keep diversity alive.
What types of socialist theory are Chinese youth taught? Many people argue that China is no longer a socialist economy. They have investments and lots of private ownership.
This is why I stopped supporting the ACLU and instead support FIRE (https://www.thefire.org/). The ACLU is no longer a civil liberties organization but rather a progressive political organization that only pushes leftist political positions. They used their platform and large funds to betray their original mission and longtime supporters. I’m sad about how far they have fallen but also happy to move on instead of lending them my support.
When I started my career in software testing 20 years ago, the Socratic method was my best friend. It's a great way to lead a developer to a bug. Instead of getting defensive, they're extremely motivated to fix it.

I agree for the most part. However, IMHO using these words (just, simply, etc) occasionally can make the doc more lively and fun to read.

That comes across as very condescending, and took all of my attention away from your actual arguments.
> we find causal evidence that when scientific articles are added as references to Wikipedia, those articles accrue more academic citations.

I also found very casual evidence that some people abuse the shit out of it for self-promotion (which is hardly surprising).
I have seen a lot of quality discussion on HN comment section even if the comment does not align with the article completely. Usually the comments are related to the topic of the article and not completely to the article written itself. Which is how it should be otherwise we would just have pretty narrowed down comment section.
This is such a silly and naive concept, though. It’s literal children’s logic. No one with the means to provide significant value to the masses is going to do so without commanding even commodity prices.

there are a whole lot of people losing money in the markets while knowing all about prior art and terminology.

There is a good reason successful hedge funds like RenTech are not hiring finance people but mathematicians who have no idea about "mean reversion" and other pseudo-scientific terms.
This raises something I've wondered for a while: is there a service or database that can give an indication of how many humans are behind a particular IP address? e.g. with CGNAT, there might be many thousands of people sharing a single IP. For some residential services, it might be 1-2 people.

It feels like this sort of data (even if only providing order of magnitude estimates) would help greatly with deciding on appropriate rate limits for small operators who don't have the time to research all the traffic they're receiving.
I'd suggest reading Ellsberg's book (The Doomsday Machine) detailing the risks imposed by MAD.
>> "This approach works because you’re thinking backwards from the needs of customers..."

And it can fail when all you want to do is give a great demo. I've seen many showcases which couldn't be further away from real projects. Use cases are constructed which are taylored to your features, a little deviation and it won't work anymore.

But still, it's a good exercise to see your project a bit more in the eyes of your user.
ACLU jumped the shark years back. i stopped donating when it became clear they had fallen to woke agenda rather than civil rights.
It references this[1] which references this[2] which references this Kayaking paper[3] which says driving has a 152 fatality rate per million participant days if you assume 1 day = 100 miles. That references this[4] which says "The fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT)" is 1.52. If you assume 1 day = 100 miles, that means the fatality rate per 1 million days is 1.52. So there was a math error made in the Kayaking paper when they were doing unit conversion. They overestimated by 100x. That error then propagated to Wikidata.

Date without revealing your identity
MatchMerry lets you date anonymously without revealing your identity.

All faces get blurred for all posted pictures.

Of course you can eventually reveal your identity via a video or in person date setup programmatically within the app.

we also took the liberty to determine a match rating, so users don't waste time trying to meet up somebody they're not compatible with, but of course you can prove us wrong, we just want you to save time
Also. "If we do this, what kind of problems to you foresee that we might need to watch out for?" Because every solution creates or exposes new problems, but that's not a reason to do nothing.
I addressed citizens in the very first sentence.

I, personally, would happily pay -more- in taxes, if it meant that, for instance, we stopped all fundraising for elections (and instead candidates had a set amount to spend per race), and also if we provided healthcare to everyone.
By your definition that would be committing to an untenable position.
> the documentation was not great in the first place

or a pain to find when searching online in the first place...
But the economist doesn’t mention poor quality and insufficiently paid jobs - which should be eliminated by competitive pressure. Which is the actual problem.

Firms can’t get workers because they don’t actually have a sustainable job to offer. In a functioning capitalist system encouraging those firms to die would be seen as positive.

Firms should have to compete for labour. Not getting labour and the existential risk that poses to firms drives automation and innovation. They are capitalists supposedly. Deploy some capital, or close and get out the way so somebody else will.

Venerating individual businesses stops capitalism working. It’s time to give up believing firms have a right to exist and that they are doing anybody a favour by existing. Let competition do its job of getting rid of the bad and encouraging the good.
I agree with the "read from the beginning" vs "landed on a page" issue. Linking can solve a lot of these styles of issues, as does keeping in mind the many possible consumers of the given documentation. As a simple example..

Original:

> Mailers are really just another way to render a view.

"Edited":

> Mailers are another way to render a view.

My Edit:

> Mailers are another way to render a view, much like the linkTo(RenderMethod()).
I have seen this plenty of times.

I can't quantify it, but I saw the title and thought, "GOSH yes. I HATE those kinds of docs."
My team has adopted a pretty bastardized version of this, and I think it’s a cautionary tale. We give demos after pretty much every sprint, which is absurd. Is anyone really interested in seeing me flail around for a way to demo optimizations I’ve worked on for two weeks to improve request times by fractions of a second or resolve tech debt?
> memory being fuzzy too but as I remember it the Levenshtein edit distance ain't that great for typos for a typo where you invert two characters counts as 2 instead of 1

In which case you want Damerau–Levenshtein distance instead of Levenshtein distance. Damerau–Levenshtein distance counts swapping adjacent characters as a single editing operation instead of two consecutive operations.
Fauci’s 2k emails a day show how little U.S. officials knew of Covid pandemic
No difference this is exactly same as brier score. MSE is the KL divergence between ground truth and true prediction, assuming a gaussian error distribution. We use MSE as loss because we try to minimize KL divergence (again assuming gaussian error distribution). The article is very shallow, I am surprise it comes on HN front page.

There is no way to know, because it's impossible to quantify either the expected costs or the expected benefits.

On the benefit side, there is simply no way to know what good things could come from giving the right person easier access to this data. Maybe the only thing between us and a cure for ten different types of cancer is a one-week number crunching exercise by the right university research group. Maybe we'll go twenty years and no big advances will result that wouldn't have happened anyway.

On the cost side, as ever with privacy, most of the real damage in the event of a breach isn't likely to be directly financial. What is the cost to a 20-year-old struggling with their identity if information about their sexual health leaks and betrays their situation to their friends and family before they want to be open about it?

How many jobs might be lost by women in their 30s or 40s because someone at the potential employer discovered they'd been having treatments that could be related to pregnancy or fertility in recent years and took steps to avoid hiring someone who might need maternity leave soon?

What might happen to your ability to get health or travel insurance ten or twenty years from now if you ask your doctor today about a symptom that is probably nothing but could be a sign of a serious condition? Or to your children's ability to get insurance in the future, if you ask about a symptom that could relate to a hereditary condition?

How many people, fearing the answer to these kinds of questions if their health records are shared, might not ask the doctor about something potentially important at all? How often will that conversation that never happens prove to have devastating consequences because a serious condition then went undiagnosed and untreated? A chilling effect on doctor consultations alone could easily cost many thousands of lives. Just look at the big drop in the number of urgent referrals for people with potential cancer symptoms since the COVID restrictions have meant relatively few people are seeing their GP in person.

The only thing we really know is that this is probably a one-way trip. Once Pandora's box is open, it is unlikely it will ever be closed again. And we're being asked (or not, apparently) to take that trip based on vague, hypothetical future benefits, without any reference to the potential dangers, even though there have been quite a few examples of confidentiality breaches arising from sharing this kind of data in the past.

I suppose a cynic might say the actual cost/benefit right now is therefore infinite, because in the absence of better arguments and data about the benefits, it's prudent to assume a division by zero.
