What if they moved the bike/pedestrian crossings to further along the lanes away from the roundabout? This would give more room for the cars to exit the roundabout without encountering immediate cross traffic, and more "collection space" on the exit itself so if a driver does have to stop to let a pedestrian/cyclist through they don't impede the roundabout traffic.
funny how people vote this down - this illustrates the problem in our industry - engineers do not band together to counter more demands and expectations of a profession that is already extremely demanding compared to other roles in corporations
Yes but what is the the cost of accessibility? How much more expensive is it to use a <button> compared to a <div> with attached event handlers?
The word union is anathema to many in the US.
supply chain attacks can consist of malicious firmware updates. any device that is subjected to frequent firmware updates has an elevated potential to be attacked and compromised at the hardware level. Firmware should be vetted as should be the supply chain, and this is the usual case.

examining firmware for exploitive content is non trivial,and if you operate mission critical infrstructure you should have a probate machine to recieve suspect firmware for examination of its subsequent operation, before full deployment.

routerlevel, or edge machine blockade of firmware supply domains should be default with internal distribution of probated firmware until trust is established.
Downvoting is a form of free speech too. You have the freedom to say what you like, but there’s no obligation on anyone else to listen to it or like it, or publish and distribute it.

Also try “yes, but”
sorry, i don’t see your point
The only way for documentation to be part of CI (IMO) is for missing documentation to cause failed builds. There are a few ways I could think of to enforce this but is there anything off the shelf that does this?
It does.

Ah, well that makes sense. Sarcasm missed. I’ll watch whole thing if I get a chance.
Hadn't seen that, thanks, I've updated the post to include it.
It's a more prevalent problem at smaller nodes, but it's a general hyperscale problem. Modern datacenter CPUs are simply too complex to fully validate without increasing the cost so much that you're not competitive any more. Hyperscaling is very an exercise in thinking probabilistically. Everything fails without telling you, and that needs to be accounted for. It sort of approaches synthetic biology that way.
In practice wouldn’t any fork mean that any and all transactions carried out in the response time are lost?

Or would you somehow rebuild those honest transactions? (I assume you can’t because of the chain). It’s pretty worrying if a 51% attack could happen, any transactions happening at the same time could be reverted, especially because there is no dispute resolution or guarantee that the person you traded with will resend the funds.
This has nothing to do with SpaceX or Elon. The Ethereum node was part of cargo contracted with NASA.
You can enable showdead in your settings, and even low contrast messages can be spoken aloud by your friendly neighborhood TTS or pasted somewhere friendly for your reading displeasure.

Not to say that ample downvotes don’t show some particular biases of the HN crowd, but it’s not like those comments disappear and you can make your own mind if they are low quality drivel or inconvenient dissent.
I looked at their twitter, looks pretty good to me. What exactly are you talking about?
> The teachers I know do reuse their lesson plans when they teach the same class.

Of course they do. I knew I was being buffaloed.

Though the point stands that why don't they share lesson plans? Why do we need 3.7 million unique lesson plans? There ought to be plenty of off-the-shelf plans to use.
I would love for you cite your sources on this...

For Ford, the most popular Truck, 50-60% of Trucks are F150 XL, or XLT, the XL is the base work truck, the XLT as the common features but not level of luxury of the Lariat, or Platinum Trucks.
> IIRC, the resolution on infrared satellite imaging is way lower

I have some buddies that are working on improving this!
The idea is to post the relevant constraints, i.e., the relations that ought to hold, by using the predicates that the Prolog system provides for constraint solving. After the constraints are posted, one of the search strategies can be tried. Examples of common search strategies provided by constraint solvers over finite domains are "ff" (first-fail) and "leftmost".

If the problem is highly symmetric, then it may be useful to post so-called symmetry breaking constraints, i.e., constraints that remove areas of the search space that are not interesting because they correspond to other parts of the search space that are already tried. Adding symmetry breaking constraints can also speed up SAT-based solvers significantly, especially complete solvers like SATO. These constraints may have adverse effects on local-search based SAT solvers because such solvers tend to work better if more solutions are present.
any pointers to other tools/useful metrics?
I was facing a lot of issues while using WazirX (crypto exchange in India) so I made a simple UI to track my investments.
Showed it off to my cousins who were also investing and they asked for access so added login & signup features.

6 days after a soft launch on WazirX subreddit I have 60 signups.
The feedback I received was to add support for Binance.

So for the first time on Indiehackers today, I am introducing CryptFolio.

No landing page yet. [have to work on that, I was mostly focused on features, speed, and efficiency].

Please share your feedback and suggest features that will make your life easier with crypto investments.
You should already be afraid now.
I think you misunderstood. That’s why I said, “graphene alone instantly on their own.” You also don’t get a better HDD by taking a traditional HDD designed for normal air and running it in a helium environment.

But again, you’re sidestepping the point if in 20 years graphene is necessary for drives that are 10x current capacity and fit in existing enclosures by your definition it’s not revolutionary as long as the increased capacity showed up a little bit at a time and the transition point wasn’t obvious.
The point is, you should be afraid today too (or better word, more careful). What you have right now is a false sense of security.
Why aren't you afraid today? Their gatekeeping is clearly useless.
I think this is a pertinent point to the way roundabouts are implemented and used in North America. Cars are almost always going too fast on their exit from the roundabout, which renders the "yield" sign on the exit side crosswalks defunct. Not to mention that if they do yield to a pedestrian there, the crosswalks are close enough to the roundabout that they might be impeding traffic in the roundabout itself.

The crosswalks in the roundabout need to be moved away from the circle itself significantly (10-15m at least) for roundabouts to be safe for cyclists and pedestrians. At least for the way they are used in North America IME.
Looks really cool! I'm listening to the neuroscience tailor one now. I've been itching for the past couple of years now (ever since having a kid) to dive back into some old hobbies that I haven't been able to make time for. Things like this are really inspiring. Looking forward to more episodes!

So the article says that linux is better then windows CE?

No thanks, i would not trust linux with my life, better take something like VXwork..that's why linux in aircraft's is just for the multimedia stuff.
They avoid giving details,
but one reasonable extrapolation from their comments is that censoring "tank man" was intentional, but applying that censorship globally was "poor judgment" which they now label as "human error."
The apparatus would need to immediately separate the two to prevent an extremely large explosion.

right. im sure the physists working on this project know that, but im curious how much of a risk 100,000 matter/anti-matter pairs would make... i guess not much?
I think he's saying the interactive manager doesn't guess what the future will be and plot a course for success in that future, but rather asks what would be ideal right now and plots a course to achieve that ideal.
> It's also risk management - basically any of my jobs could fail and it would not really affect me, which allows me to have a certain distance to each of the activities as well.

Yep, this is huge for me.

My "real job" is as a software developer, like most of us here. My side hustles are many and varied: portrait photography, vinyl decals, custom garments, metalworking, leather working, drone stuff (photography, photogrammetry, volumetric, even FPV and racing), etc.

I've had a few instances where I've found myself suddenly without employment for one reason or another. It's stressful, but it's not the emergency that it would be if not for all of my hobbies/hustles. I can spend a couple of days refreshing contacts and easily expect to be making enough money doing drone stuff alone to pay my bills and put food on my family's table.
I'm curious how the IRS applies this to startups that may not be profitable until well after IPO.
thanks dude. fixed it :)
I use this service in my Dynamic DNS script for Cloudflare too: https://github.com/kissgyorgy/cloudflare-dyndns

It's time to put this service to the first place.
From what I can tell, most operating systems will now ping their own version of neverssl as you connect to a network to find out whether they need to show you a login prompt. It looks like they basically just check to see if they get the content they expect from a domain they own, and if not they serve you that page so you can see whatever it is your network injected. (You can usually see the OS domain in the address bar.)
<it is a trap>
The block route I'd go with is blackholing the entire range into nothing through BGP or similar so the servers wouldn't have to deal with the traffic, similar to how anti DDOS tools often work. Might even redirect the DNS for that subnet to the IP of the people running the network, let them deal with the abuse. That'd be a very offensive approach, though.

I probably wouldn't bother with TLS either, just a plain HTTP 0.1 response with minimum information should be enough.
I am not sure if you are being deliberately obtuse or simply unfamiliar with how ML is designed and implemented. Almost every single point you mentioned does happen in practice. Most are limited by budget and scale, just like real world experiments.
What you describe is the essence of an abstract data type (ATD). An ADT can be easily implemented in a non-object oriented language like C. To my understanding the essence of object oriented programming is inheritance and polymorphism.
Alternatively, the list tells you what employers pay a premium for.
No this can’t be. It’s fish cleaner and it will kill you. Orange man bad.
Hopefully the mass production of X-Ka band phased array antennas for Starlink and Kepler will bring the costs down for general purpose equipment. It would be really cool to be able to ’see’ the signal bouncing off of clouds and whatnot in the form of a raster image vs 2d fft.
There is a big difference between replacing a car engine vs replacing a car battery. The hardest part is lifting the heavy battery out and putting the new one in. With a gas engine, there is belts, timing, oil, and lots of other things I am not even aware of.

This is absolutely mind blowing.
The tokens in Smalltalk-72 were not "messages" to Actors where whole messages are Actors.

Since Actors are universal primitives of digital computation,

it is possible to reframe all previous work as using

messages, including Turing Machines and the lambda calculus.

Lambda calculus was originally defined using string substitution.

Both lambda calculus and Turing machines are computationally less powerful than Actors.
This looks pretty cool! I've been using Kapwing for similar purposes (https://www.kapwing.com/) and this reminds me of Kapwing in its earlier days. Definitely a bit basic without all the effects and overlays, but looks like a nice MVP.

As someone who used to run my own video sharing site in the 2000s, it's super cool seeing how videos can just render so quickly in my browser and be moved around.
Anecdotally, macho gearhead types seem to generally respect the premise diesel-electrics, because freight trains. Because it's been so successful in locomotives, these sort see diesel-electric as proven, powerful, and sufficiently macho.

How real-world apps lose data
Yeah, I know someone who is otherwise pretty empathetic who has a tendency to lead with "No..." when there are better ways.

This is one thing where not being in person often hurts--although even pre-pandemic that was often the case with me. If a reasonable well-aware person is reading a not to large room, they'll probably respond if someone suddenly gives a "Did I just hear what I thought I heard look?"
Twitter followers aren't traction. Just like people reading your blog posts isn't traction. Traction is people signing up for the product, people using the product and people paying you money.
More like linear algebra, real analysis, and probability for the areas you listed.
Wait, do you actually know the author? I only ask because he's a good friend of mine, and another friend was just showing me your APE code. Small world. :)
Why not just extend a light rail system to suburbs? It will be much faster to have point-to-point rail than car + rail.

The lives of people in China trying to use Internet services outside are already miserable; let's not make it worse and alienate others. We should treat them just like the rest: if extensive malicious traffic arrives, we drop it, but we don't ban the entire country.
Yes but someone who can't effectively determine what problems need to be solved doesn't scale, not does this engineer scale to problems big/hard enough that they require more than one person
There have certainly been changes in educational methods, but I doubt there are improvements. Math achievement has been flat for the last 50 years. The "new math" and "look-say" methods were largely invented to drive new textbook sales.
when i read "why not simply", this suggest two things

either I have made an overly complicated analysis and provided unessecarily complex solution, or someone else has made analysis based on incomplete or generalized information with respect to the problem.

then comes the task of determining which is the actual case.
I learnt arithmetic in the early sixties. 99x5 would be 9x5x10+9x5 = 450+45 = 495

Perhaps it helped that we all knew the 12 times tables.

Is there some new magical way of doing long multiplication that is more effective and easier to understand?

The "old knowledge" thing is a huge one - I know there are reasons why Linux keeps changing which firewall manager you're supposed to use and now we do ip addr show instead of ifconfig eth0 but it is annoying to keep up.

I know Linus has a "don't break userland" theory which causes some of the above, but it breaks MY userland memory when I have to learn new tools.

Of course if you stay with Ubuntu you'll find fifty thousand posts on whatever question you have.
I’m not sure they do. Restaurant owners make bad choices, start skimping on food, etc. all the time. The difference is that the customers notice and the restaurants go out of business. But political organizations “produce” nebulous goods which are difficult to value or sometimes even understand. So corrupt civil organizations can continue much longer and a practical business.
This had been true for me for several years, but recently, I have found that Google no longer provides that info box and it's necessary to click into one of the search results. (I am using Firefox, but I am logged into a Google account of it makes any difference.)
To me she is referring to what she says previously:

> Also, systems might seem automated but when we pull away the curtain we see large amounts of low paid labour, everything from crowd work categorising data to the never-ending toil of shuffling Amazon boxes.

So the artificial and intelligent part is a tiny piece of the task, most of it is done through humans and logistics.
We're not helping Apple. We're holding them accountable for what they make available on their store which they advertise as "curated and safe".
> that didn't really have much to do with what the article is actually about.

That was a quote of the author not just the headline

> It's a criticism of the training data sets used on ai's that were manually tagged by individuals

Again though this is just a fraction of AI. Lumping all of AI into the realm of ‘manually curated supervised learning’ is just incorrect, yet the author seems to think that’s all there is, it’s either that or they are just trying to make a headline.

> For a great real world example of this happening right now

I hardly think a controversy about a random text game on the internet warrants such a serious tone
You could also see it as a Peter Principle checklist. If you do all of those things all the time, someone is going to think that you're so great that they might promote you right out of software development and into management. So if you want to stay a developer, maybe try to leave a few boxes unchecked :-)
The Cybertruck stands out. Things that stand out get targeted. I don't want my car to be targeted. It's that simple for me.
It'd reveal my identity. More broadly, these faculty members include researchers who work in:

* climate science (death threats, widespread media attacks, attempts from politicians to cancel grants)

* digital privacy (death threats)

* history of policing (death threats, attacks from Hannity, attacks from the Hoover institute trying to prevent her thesis from being accepted)

* history of women in medieval europe (see below)

* US civil war history (attacks from state politicians)

The most extreme case is the person who does history of women in medieval europe. Organized groups of students take her class and are clearly trained in precisely the places where they can write hate speech specifically focused at her but also just general hate speech against women but have privacy laws make it impossible for them to actually be associated with their writing. This is a tactic designed to get her to slip up and breach some sort of privacy protection, upon which time they immediately bring legal action. I'll let you guess whether FIRE is protecting her in the legal action.

Universities are hardly right-wing institutions, true. But that doesn't mean that FIRE is a bipartisan institution.

If you want a nationally recognized example, go check out what is going on at UNC Chapel Hill now.
China currently makes some absurdly large percentage of the world's consumer goods, and the discussions about producing them are probably being had over the internet. Cut them off of the internet and we have to rebuild manufacturing capacity everywhere else.

Which might not be a bad thing overall, but it's sure not gonna make any transnational corporation's bottom line happy over the next few quarters, so they'll be waving a lot of money at politicians to make this not happen.
For those behind a home router an alternative is to use UPNP, e.g., through the miniupnpc package on Debian which ships the `/usr/bin/external-ip` script that postprocesses the `upnpc -s` output.
This command just returns the IP:

I think transparancy is the answer. In Estonia, if someone's medical record is viewed, it is recorded irrevocably. If there is suspicion that this access was not authorised or out of reach, the state itself will prosecute if you don't want to.

I took advantage of the recent graduation season and hustled some photoshoots. It was a good experience where I met a lot of cool people and made enough to offset the cost of some new gear, but I probably wouldn't do it again unless I wasn't working a full-time schedule and could command a (much) higher rate.

I already feel this encroachment in my main hustle; engineering is both a career and passion [1], but doing it as a living drains the reserves of wanting to do it outside of work.

I recently watched an interview with Sofia Coppola right after Lost in Translation came out. She said that she made her living from her clothing company so that she could be artistically liberal in her filmmaking [2]. There's something about the truest "artist" being the one who can escape having to call themselves an "Artist."

It says a lot about the quality of our media/reporting when everything becomes politicized. I feel as though we have lost something important. Can we go back to the past method when things were looked at objectively?
> We're talking about blocking IPs originating from China. How would that hurt the affected people outside of China?

Most of the affected people would obviously be inside China.
This is a pretty sad state of affairs. Pidgin has been around for ages. I used to use it on my n900 back in the day - that and gpodder really opened my eyes to how powerful open source could be at a young age.

How do we solve this potentially criminal misallocation of funds? Something is fundamentally wrong with the priorities in this industry if pidgin is worth more dead (unsecure) than alive (properly maintained).
Can we talk about how, in the first graphic, the "open-source distributions" that garner mention are Debian, Mint, Gentoo, and Slackware? Centos seems like a conspicuous absence.
There's mostly downside for them because a significant fraction of their members are not fans of the 2nd amendment.
