Who says it isn't important? It's more important than nearly, if not literally everything else that appears here.

You seem to be under a misconception of what HN is. If importance were the criterion for the front page, HN would be an entirely different forum—something like a current affairs site. It also be repeating the same things every day. I posted a longer explanation elsewhere in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27486354.
Well, when worker bees communicate[1] the direction and distance of a foraging ground to each other, that seems pretty conscious to me. Saying everything boils down to chemical signals is true but it's probably too reductive.

Well, making the European economy competitive (in your view, not mine) would also require legislation, so I guess shaking your head is just your thing that you would do anyway?

So you favor the monopolies that some American companies have in some markets?

It's not grid based. But that seems like a rather pedantic differentiation to make. It does quite literally utilize the concept of "cells". [0]

I find it interesting that the project seems to have hard-coded emergence with the concept of "tokens".

So, I am much less intrigued by the simulation examples when most of what we are seeing is just a procedurally-generated video game with pre-defined game rules. Much of it is not truly emergent.

Again, it's a "oh, that's cool" kind of factor, but a far cry from contributing to anything in the way of "artificial life" research.

>The people that disable Javascript are missing a whole world of interactive applications.

What?

Interactive applications came way before the Web and JavaScript.

Interactive applications currently exist outside of the Web and these same applications may not have been built using JavaScript.
It’s hard to take seriously an article that purports to teach about moral decision-making and doesn’t reference any kind of utility theory. The kind of black-and-white thinking espoused in the veganism example is one of the reasons most people are so bad at thinking clearly. Among other downsides, it makes you extremely vulnerable to manipulative platitudes.
A tool for visualizing log file volume over time in your terminal [1]. Useful for quickly getting a handle on traffic patterns during a production incident. This began as a scratch-the-itch project and was also the first useful thing I made in Rust. Two itches scratched :)

A tool for visualizing ping latency as a heatmap [2]. My Macbook's wifi had developed a severe latency stutter every ~500ms that was driving me nuts when using interactive tools like SSH. It was very satisfying to visualize it and see the pattern, and it helped to narrow the list of possible causes.

Whilst learning classical Arabic it was a pain when reading to search through the Hans Wehr dictionary by first extracting the root letters of the word and then looking up the root and then finding the correct form.

So I put together a frontend [1] to search a scanned version I found of it. It has now evolved in to an offline PWA, which you can search from Arabic to English and English to Arabic, convert numbers in both classical or modern Arabic form, stem words etc. When searching in Arabic it removes affixes, prefixes, suffixes and also uses multiple stemming algorithms to obtain the root if an exact match is not found.

It's pretty neat and makes reading so much easier no matter what device I'm on. It's also used by other professors, teachers, students and friends who are also in the classical Arabic field.

It seems pretty unlikely to me, given that he said he’s lost multiple friends to great white sharks while he lived on the west coast. There are maybe 2-3 shark attack deaths per decade on the west coast, spread across a huge area. I have a hard time believing he was friends with multiple of them, and was in the described plane crash, and was gobbled by a whale.
I find it rather annoying to escape single quotes within single-quoted strings in the shell. Really, there are only two options, both of which are rather verbose:

$ echo 'A'\''A, B'"'"'B'
A'A, B'B

I suppose that there's a few different commands that would work for your example:

$ echo "One Two Three" | awk '{print "'"'"'"$2" here'"'"'"}' # original
$ echo "One Two Three" | awk {print\ \"\'\"\$2\"\ here\'\"}
$ echo "One Two Three" | awk '{print "'\''"$2" here'\''"}'
$ echo "One Two Three" | awk "{print \"'\"\$2\" here'\"}"

To be fair, though, the argument {print "'"$2" here'"} looks pretty weird if you're not used to working with awk.

Summary: Guy is lactose intolerant. He inserts a sequence providing lactose tolerance into an adeno-associated virus. He then infects himself with this virus, which inserts the target sequence into his own genome.

He is then able to gorge himself on pizza without digestive problems, and he's still able to do so several months later.

The adeno-associated virus is like a retrovirus, except that, per [0], the AAV will insert at a particular location in the genome, instead of at random locations.

I feel honored. I do not think I have done anything to get this though. I have gone through a very rough period where I felt an imposter, a loser and that I would never amount to anything. I was in mild-depression for years, the peer-pressure created by this constant chase is so horrible, yet founders still feel ashamed to talk about it. So I am simply sharing it openly.

VHF is now accurate enough for two-stage targeting. Basically you guide the missile close enough for its own radar/camera/ir sensor to lock on.

VHF is inherently too inaccurate for a lock either. It just scales with how big the radar is.
Hi there, Joran. Thanks for the heads-up; I'll get in touch.
This wouldn't be the primary backup, but Deep Glacier is just such a good deal that: I'd be happy to pay the $50 per year for a call option on my data, it'd make me sleep better at night!

Part of my calculus is that I have quite strong confidence in AWS in terms of business continuity and reliability/availability. If I dump my files on AWS, I have high confidence in the files (and AWS) being around in 10 years and retrievable for roughly the same price (or at least no more).

Hetzner would have much lower durability. I'm a bit suss on Backblaze, though I do trust them to be more durable than my self-managed disks (and uncorrelated to my failures). I don't know much about Wasabi; but it's not a good sign for me that their landing page touts their latest funding round at the top: seems young and you never know if the price is subsidized with VC money (and won't be in n years) or similar.

> Also, what happens if you have to retrieve data twice from Glacier?

The killer is the egress. I'd just buy a new set of disks and download it straight there.
It will probably be called 11. They have been leaving hints all over the place that it will be. The event starts at 11 a.m. which is not when they usually do, the invite showed an animation where the light going through the window ignored the cross bar making an 11, they released an 11 minute video of slowed down Windows start up sounds on YouTube. It'll either be called 11 or they are trolling hard.
Thanks! I'll have to investigate Kopia properly.
You don’t need to go public, companies that relying on burning people out simply deserve zero respect from their employees.

Remember as critical as everything seems it’s no longer your problem once you move on. Sure, moving on to your next job might seem to be leaving them in a lurch, but lack of redundancy isn’t your problem.

PS: The best thing you can do for your teammates in that situation is convince them to find a better job.
I have an unorthodox system of things which is all quite interdependent. I prefer to just adjust things as I go. I know I'm reinventing the wheel at times, but I would rather a more personal UX than a UX for the lowest common denominator.

I have a variable loader that I can use in scripts/programs so that I don't have to hardcode filepaths and so I can change settings quickly. Variables can refer to other variables, even in parts of them. I can quickly insert references to those variables into scripts/programs with a shortcut key.

There is a note taker: a shortcut key immediately opens a blank file (which is named the date + time + a short unique ID to avoid any clashes).

There is also a note reviewer: It shows the next note to refine. I can postpone any that are uninteresting yet incomplete for whatever duration, and archive any which are complete and can show up as relevant matches elsewhere in my system. This stage allows me to deal with bits and pieces at a time, and review things I'm still working on. It avoids hierarchical constraints on purpose, and it breaks things down into tags instead.

I have a sort of data representation in which I can note how things/concepts are linked, and also express doubt, references, references to references and so on, to allow expressive representations of thoughts including incompleteness or ambiguity.

I have a music player that devalues a track every time it is not played in its entirety. The faster it gets skipped the more it gets devalued (and there are meta keys to add more weight). If a track's rank doesn't meet a random threshold then it gets skipped. It basically stops the listener getting too used to a track even though they may like it.
Forth on Atari w/o mentioning https://atari8bit.net/db/?d=cd&g=Books&f=FORTH-on-the-Atari-...
Yep, those were the times.

FORTH is all fun and such (well, the stack counting gets old after a while), but I have difficulties seeing it in larger, multi-person projects (were there any?). A good idea who's time came and went.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the wiki page for CUDA has a list of open problems in CS research:

Accelerated rendering of 3D graphics
Accelerated interconversion of video file formats
Accelerated encryption, decryption and compression
Bioinformatics, e.g. NGS DNA sequencing BarraCUDA[55]
Distributed calculations, such as predicting the native conformation of proteins
Medical analysis simulations, for example virtual reality based on CT and MRI scan images
Physical simulations, in particular in fluid dynamics
Neural network training in machine learning problems
Face recognition
Distributed computing
Molecular dynamics
Mining cryptocurrencies
BOINC SETI@home
Structure from motion (SfM) software

I'm sure what Google is doing is higher up the food chain, but I think this list is a good starting place for undergraduates, especially juniors, who want to focus on CS research. I would only add bio-statistics specifically to this list and mention the possibility of applying AI to bio-engineering.

Do you think this would appeal to post-secondary students?
I'm not sure what you mean, the paid people are still volunteering. They don't really have to spend company time upstreaming anything, they could technically keep all their patches in a private fork, but the company allows them to upstream things because it makes the most sense. You also don't have to leave it, you can also make a private fork too, and work on it slowly, if it makes the most sense to you.

These complaints about Red Hat are what make no sense to me, if you believe they are "eating Linux" for the worse then I would advise you to produce a version of Linux with all of the Red Hat commits removed, and see for yourself if it's more stable and polished. It may not be, because you would likely also be removing a lot of the bug fixes they upstream.
> That was kind of my point, at least. Anyone can fake a copyright assignment form if they really want to, so we're not better off asking for it?

Dunno fersure, but probably yes, after all: If you're the project and have a signed statement, at least that shows that you're not just blithely grabbing whatever you can but are actually doing your best (WTF else could you do?[1]) to ascertain that you are in the clear. If the statement the contributor signed is false, that's on them, not you.

___

[1]: What you could do is perhaps have the statement include an explicit bit about "I don't have an employment contract that assigns this copyright to any employer / I have permission from my employer to sign away this copyright on their behalf; see attachment 2B". Dunno if these assignment docs already have that. If not, perhaps they should.

I am building a remote job listing aggregator and have been working on it this entire year so far. I want one central place where I can view all listings by a certain company across all aggregators, or disable certain aggregators, etc.

I found it annoying to be browsing like 10 different top remote sites, but having no real way to filter out duplicates, keep track of the listing, save listings and progress them to custom stages a la kanban etc. I've put wayyyyy too much time into this but I'm excited to launch soon. Manually using excel is a PITA too.

I'm focusing really hard on accessibility, mobile UX, and in general usability. The backend is pretty beefy in that it essentially runs itself without any manual work on my part.

Another app I'm working on after this is one to introduce the git branching model to other types of work. Instead of commits/pr's+issues/branches, its tasks/conversations/topics. The idea is to get a birds eye view of what your team is working on and an easy way to publish your events to your team. Opening a PR, or an issue, or anything really takes many clicks and interactions and greatly disrupts my process so I built a native tool like spotlight where you can log a task, conversation, or start a new topic, in only two interactions.

Even as a developer there are many side things I'm doing in a given day that are not accurately reflected by git, and using slack/discord to publish "yesterday / today / tomorrow" is something that can definitely be easily automated.

I'm focusing on productivity tools that solve pains I've had at various points in my career.
I'm not reading that as the matter/antimatter didn't annihilate each other after the big bang. Rather, that matter and antimatter were not produced in equal amounts - if they were produced in equal quantities, why do our observations show such a large amount of matter and not equal amounts of antimatter? production and annihilation are balanced processes, so why the heavy sway to one side?

Th obvious suggestion is that if there was equal amounts of antimatter near us, we would likely be annihilated already. But that doesn't explain why so little can be found remotely either.

The potential for matter and antimatter to alternate is an interesting proposal that could explain our little island of stability in the universe.

Or it could be something else entirely. I'm a software engineer, not a physicist.
I have a widget on my home screen that powers on my PC, syncs to latest, compiles my work code base and sends me a push notification when it's done (10-15 minutes most mornings). I use that time to make coffee and breakfast.

It's a flutter app using Firesbae for state and push notifications. I have a smart power strip, and my PC powers on when it received power, and logs in if the yubikey is attached to it (which I leave in at night). I have a golang service on my PC that runs in the background and listens to firebase for certain events and runs the commands and posts results back

If you’re using the same database for your queue as your business entities, then you can wrap both in the same transaction - I think that’s what the parent post is getting at. For example, save a customer entity and add a job to send them a confirmation email. As far as I know, that’s something you can’t do natively if you’re using RabbitMQ and PostgreSQL. Of course you can work around it, but when your workloads are low you don’t need to, which is great for early stage products.
This feels like a straw man argument. It is pretty widely recognized that innovation in the US is ahead of the vast majority of the rest of the world, even Europe. Only China is now challenging the US in that regard. I think that the late adoption of contactless payments by Apple is the exception, not the rule.

Cancel culture doesn't have to be used for everything (and IMO should not be used for _anything_). Mob justice won't fix the company, and if the company is big enough (perhaps some SV companies who shall not be named), it won't have any real effect. Burnout is often an acceptable "work hazard" for the CV reputation gained. A good parallel to this is finance where burnout is practically built into the program. Medicine also crosses my mind when thinking of fields where burning yourself out could, counter-intuitively, be considered highly beneficial as a long term play.

Outlets for this already exist in the form of Glassdoor but much like every other review service once it reaches scales the usefulness of the reviews falls precipitously.

You also open yourself up to libel claims. Assuming your canceling actually works I would not be surprised if the company spent significant effort to take you to court and financially ruin you. Even more so if the accusations aren't entirely true (perhaps it's just one division and not the entire company).

Instead, it's probably more useful to _train_ people to notice these things and ascertain the risks. Burnout can often be worth it if the net-gain-after-burnout improves your prospects to advance in your field, confers a pedigree, or any other number of small things. Returning to the finance example this is certainly why people risk it. At the end of the day, in the US at least, a little over half of the states in the union are right-to-work. This is the safety valve for companies who deliberately churn employees - just leave. Ideally after you've already lined up a new gig in your field.

“Equity” is also theoretical until you try to cash in on it: they say your house could sell for $1MM, but you have to find a buyer before you can get that equity out and spend it. You may very well have to sell it for (a lot) less. It’s also a liability every year when the tax man comes, because he charges based on the “imaginary” number, not what an actual person will actually pay for it.
