What fascinates me is that these oscillations appear to be continuous. What is it exactly that they're measuring/showing in the decay plot?

Shouldn't the state transitions be discrete events, and therefore the plot show a square wave instead of a sine?

The first one that comes to mind is a super simple (and hideous) app to stick images together in the layout of your multiple monitors in order to create a spanned wallpaper with a different image on each display. I created it ages ago when Electron was relatively new, and I still use it every month or so.

Detection?

There is a lot of icbm detection. Unplanned rocket launches could lead to global nuclear annihilation. What happens if something seems to deorbit above the US? How much early warning and procedure is there?

Especially if you want to deliver conventional munitions to a non-nuclear power, a system like this seems better than an ICBM.
Why can't we have both? -- I had a similar frustration and got to work on https://hal9.ai, you get prebuilt blocks to easily import/transform/visualize data, while also being able modify the D3/Plot sources to your hearts contempt.
You don't need AI, just a bit of willing. I can't imagine it would be hard to create a trigger for human intervention when a product's title, images, category(?) and description all change.
I think that's down to risk management skills of an individual. It could also be the case that sleeping less means you're more aware of external threats and ambushes and you can be more productive.
There’s nothing wrong with this post factually, but the tone sucks. It has an immensely combative energy for what is not really a charged subject matter.

Like sure. Today, a lot of the historical reasons for things seem silly and irrelevant. At one point, they did not seem silly and irrelevant. For compatibility with stuff sticking around from those days, we get some performance penalties that are not strictly necessary. I don’t think anyone is doing that to be an asshole, so the oddly antagonistic tone seems unjustified.

And yes, Windows with a module-level namespace is cleaner in this regard, but Windows design is entirely different and has plenty of its own skeletons. ELF does not, to me, feel significantly more horrible than PE. And I’m not speaking from inexperience; I did at least write a couple of ELF and PE parsing softwares over time, most recently go-winloader[1].

Do we need to override symbols in the same library? Probably not... kind of. Your modules may in fact not need this. However, libc probably does. Take a look at what symbols libpthread exports on your system some time.

I hate to be the person to point this out, but please consider not approaching subjects from this position. It feels alienating, and I have no idea why it’s necessary to have such a tone.

> simply need a year off away from the world

It's actually really hard (mentally) to do this if you don't already have a shitton of savings in the bank that you're not worried about paying rent, and aren't worried about getting a new job. For a lot of people it's harder than it sounds. But yes, gap years would be amazing.

Another thing I wish was more encouraged is part-time work. Working for a year at maybe 20 hours a week would probably pay all living expenses while you have plenty of space and time to recover and time to spend in the wilderness or beach or whatever strikes your fancy. Everyone seems to want to shovel you in as a full-time employee, and part-time seems to be looked down upon more than it should as a transition and recovery tool.

I believe missiles have a certain range at which, when fired, the kill is ensured. The F35 would not need to fire the missile at the absolute possible range the missile can fly to, but at the range the kill is guaranteed.
A transform or heuristic must be developed so that naive recursion can be trivially unrolled into a loop (or state machine in cases of trees and graphs). Tail recursion is simply too tricky to reason through for complex logic unless you enjoy doing induction proofs.
The article says that people need not just political engagement but contemplation, standing outside the present moment and communing with something beyond. But is that a view that Americans now necessarily share? One concept that maybe has become quietly mainstream is materialism. (By that, however, I am not claiming that supporters of whatever American political camp are literally Marxists.) That is, any kind of moment away from present-day political struggles might be viewed as capitulation or as callously ignoring the plight of the oppressed.

As a non-American, I get the impression that this is a growing trend from it appearing even on e.g. internet literature forums in the last few years: poets writing abstract work at a distance from the political concerns of the present and seeking a certain timelessness and glimpse of eternity (think T.S. Eliot in “Burnt Norton”) sometimes get called, by the Americans present, socially irresponsible and doing nothing for POC.
No apology necessary :)

And now after reading more of the comments, I think there are two aspects to the situation. The first is doing nothing but playing video games all day, and the second is freeloading off of others to enable this lifestyle.

I don’t think we should judge the first as a flaw of character, but definitely the second IMO is deplorable.

I think the “productive member of society” trope needs to die. Many jobs across all pay levels serve purposes that are bad for humanity and the individual, and more power to those who’d rather opt out of all of that, as long as they’re sustaining themselves.
The time-dependent probability of being in either flavour eigenstate is sinusoidal. It's not like a ticking clock.

Years and years of widespread clinical practice would be my standard, but I'll make do with multiple large-scale randomized studies AND precise guidelines if absolutely necessary. As for evidence seeking, clinical research happens to be part of my job so I don't really need assistance, thanks.
I don't think that's right. If you compare bash:

ls | sort

with some pseudocode:

stdin_ls <- empty_read_stream()
stdout_ls <- init_write_stream()
stdin_sort <- init_read_stream()
stdout_sort <- init_write_stream()

plug_stream(stdout_ls, stdin_sort)
stream_sink(stdout_sort, function_that_processes_lines)

handle_ls <- start_proc("ls", stdin_ls, stdout_ls)
handle_sort <- start_proc("sort", stdin_sort, stdout_sort)

wait_for_both(handle_ls, handle_sort)

it seems that "|" is definitely gluing things together.

It's true that it doesn't do everything you want. But it's truly glue. It's crazy to imply that there's only one level of glue.

You identify other glue: if you want to sort by something that isn't the whole line, you need to write a bunch of glue. But that doesn't mean this isn't glue.

> the foolish design decision to make everything “plain” text

I don't think you can call it foolish and be taken seriously. You can disagree about whether it was the right design decision, but it was neither the first nor the last system to transfer unstructured data and rely on external programs to interpret them. It seems to have paid off too - systems descended from this design are widespread. You might not like paying the tradeoff, but a lot of people find it productive.

Powershell has some improvements on top of the Unix model because it saw the benefits of the Unix model and the costs of it. In either case, the gui world has nothing like the productivity of either system.
Just someone posting on FB
International diplomacy is like that, but every now and then some random soldiers in one of your backwater armies get drunk in some podunk border posting, murder some of the other side's soldiers, then suddenly you have to explain to your nutso nationalist press why a great power war is a bad idea.

(The india-china border clashes are a good example of this. Or that one where a NK soldier killed somebody with an axe. Or that time japanese soldiers bribed a triad gang to attack japanese priests so they had could convince their officers to invade more of Manchuria.)
Probably expects JavaScript enabled or something. I also don't have a "not now" option. No JavaScript, no CSS.

Honestly, how can someone into tech post something like this on FB?
While there are headsets that are cheaper than some mechanical keyboards now, their quality is too poor to be enjoyable (slow motion tracking, low FOV, etc) if they don't outright induce nausea. The really good hardware is still too expensive for the average consumer. Give it a 5-10 years for the price to drop and maybe it'll be more mainstream.

On the other hand, I could also see the tech just fizzle out completely because it'll turn out that most of the population will get motion sickness from VR experiences regardless of tech advancements.
It is supported but it's classified as experimental and not officially maintained by the core devs based on their documentation.
I think this correlation is related to causation. I think there are registers in people's minds that are simply occupied.

Addicts occupy their predisposition to addiction with a single or ever changing way of neglecting their responsibilities and relationships and health, based on simple earliest exposure.

Susceptible people occupy their predisposition to susceptibility with religion or fervent ideology, the "choice" being simply the earliest exposure.

Whichever one shows up first occupies that part of their mind. No different than a simpler organism impressing who its mother and caretaker is.

Lowdefy – Now has SQL, OpenID Connect, Custom Code, Docker, Serverless Support
In Feb this year we made a Show HN post [0] about Lowdefy

https://github.com/lowdefy/lowdefy

Since then we've added support for:

- Authentication via any OpenID Connect provider.

- Role based access control.

- Public and private pages.

- Custom blocks, action and operators. Basically you can load custom React components and logic into your app.

- Connect to SQL databases using knex.

- Self-hosted and currently support:

- Docker

- Netlify

- AWS Lambda via Severless deployments

We've been building some really cool apps with Lowdefy and will post more examples and tutorials in the near future.

I get that but then perhaps my browser doesn't implement the spec correctly. Because I know what I see. Tiny pages with tiny text that would have looked fine on my 4:3 crt emac years ago.
No. I didn’t take this site as a religious anti-Turing-tarpit sermon.

Rather it is saying that not every load of your page will run the JS. 99% might but 1% won’t to make up some stats.

So you need to decide how your app behaves when there is no JS.

I work for a very rich desktop experience web app company where there is nothing you can do! Best things is have a nicely styled “sorry” message as a default.

If you are operating a mail client, maybe you can have a seperate low fi mode. Or choose a tech that allows server side rendering, which is running that JS on the server and then losing up that page.

There are trades offs for every site. From no-JS-in-the-first-place static marketing sites to web app versions of native apps with all the whistles.

It comes back to technical and architectural and UX design.

The post here is a reminder. Some of your client loads won’t have JS running, of that you can be sure.
I made Strainer, a CLI utility for finding duplicate lines in one or more files: https://github.com/brundonsmith/strainer/

This is really cool! I was looking at all the supported modals, and it looks like they are all either to or from English. Does this mean that if I go from say, Korean to Japanese, it must use English as an intermediary?

As a PhD student who sort of burned out on this type of research, I agree that the complexity of Neural Networks as a mathematical construct makes them very difficult to analyze. This might also have to do with Deep learning theory being a subset of learning theory which is subject to "No Free Lunch" [1], which means that you always have to be very careful not to try to prove something that turns out to be impossible.

That being said, research on the Kernel regime is one of the very cool ideas, in my opinion, to gain traction in this field in the past few years. To summarize: "If you make a neural network wide enough, it gains the power to control its output on each individual input separately, and will begin to fit its training data perfectly". Of course, the real pleasure is in understanding all the mathematical details of this statement!

Ask HN: Private, cross-platform location sharing
I’m looking for an alternative to Google Maps for real-time location sharing with friends and family. It needs to be cross platform so unfortunately can’t be Apple based. I’d rather not resort to Google Maps and the associated tracking. There are various options online from third parties, but I wondered if anyone had any recommendations for something that works, is trustworthy and secure, and relatively private. Thanks.
https://codingfriends.github.io/Tincta/

While studying a friend and I used a text editor called Smultron for all our VHDL and HTML/JS scripting. The developer stopped supporting it for a while and we got annoyed by unfixed bugs. In the end we missed having this little, easy to use tool so much that we wrote Tincta. It was heavily inspired by it. It doesn’t get enough love nowadays but I still use it for short notes.
I don't really buy the "centralizing" argument, any organization can join the TRR program. The main difference is that you have to agree to a bunch of baseline privacy requirements to join.

It turns out that not many organizations who operate a resolver are willing to agree to those requirements. Isn't calling that centralization like saying the health inspector is centralizing restaurants by shutting down dirty kitchens?
Have you ever seen elevators where you select a floor from the outside and it gets assigned to one of multiple elevators? Those seem like they might be doing something more sophisticated.
Excellent points!

I'm actually thinking that this is part of what is going on with all the cries of "Inflation!!" - compared to last years' numbers, when everything was running at about 40%, of course prices are rebounding, and even overcompensating on the high side - the real question is for how long (there was also a massive hole blown in the money supply, which needs to be backfilled).

As an oldies station DJ from back home would say, this is good stuff! The use of screen color as an in-band indicator for what segments to keep or toss is especially elegant.

>Immigrants to America tend to become American; emigrants to other countries from America tend to stay American.

Is that true, or just the authors' speculation? Although it is easily explained. Everyone wants to be American because the USA, of all the countries in the world offers the greatest opportunities to the greatest number of people. They are the top of the food chain, in less nationalistic terms. (i'm not American btw but i can see the truth).
I feel that many issues are not only a confusion of values, but a confusion of what values even _are_. There is some cookie cutter bullshit about what is "good" or "bad" and this is used to paint a broad and incoherent picture which breaks down the structures it is painted on. Like confusing ageism with public policy of how to handle disease. Or being idealistic to avoide concern over secondary consequences. You can be called a lot of names by trying to point out secondary consequences which harm certain woke policy choices. When did someone decide there were clear answers to challenging issues and cut off further debate?
> Your DB then shares a WAL log with your queue...

I feel like the understanding we can come to here is that we have differing definitions of necessary complexity.

You did mention you work in data analytics and I have worked and am working in more traditional product-oriented gigs. Everything you mentioned are nice, impressive even, but to me they are toys. I don't need a queue with a WAL stream, or PITR backups. Queues, to me, are inter-process communication mechanisms, or a means to concurrency. In fact, worst case, you can delete the queues or restart Redis even without triggering a disk write (though I note this is another feature that comes free with Redis); it would inconvenience our customers but they can always just retry.

Of all the benefits you mentioned, leader-election is the only one I could make a good case for.

> then you may as well understand it deeply in order to wring the most productive use you can out of each OpEx dollar/man-hour spent.

Understanding it is one thing but using that understanding to create/develop (CapEx) and then maintain (OpEx) an in-DB queue feels like unnecessary costs. CapEx to install Redis is practically nil, and you seem to agree that running it is far simpler OpEx than PG too ("Well, yeah, but...").

Of course, I keep in mind your point about libraries doing the dirty work. But if it all boils down to a third party in the end, the point I'm replying to above is rather moot no? And if it comes to a third dependency anyway, I've already reasoned out my preference for an actual queue solution.

> explained in a vendor-neutral manner: SQL DDL

> You can if those features are in the SQL standard. I’ve never heard of a DBMS regressing on its level of SQL standard support.

While this is an ideal case, my experience so far shows that every major DB package relies on their own tweaks to the SQL standard, and so "If those features are in the SQL standard" turns out to be a pretty big "if" to ask. I don't worry about vendors regressing on SQL standard support but rather that the libraries for DB queues are relying on the non-SQL-standard features/behavior to mock out a full queue functionality---non standard behavior that has no guarantee of consistency across versions.

I mean, if there's a DB queue middleware/library that works across DB vendors, be it Postgres, Oracle, Maria, MySQL (with a reasonable storage engine, perhaps) then that's a convincing argument that the SQL standard can support queuing sufficiently. But otherwise, this counterpoint is a hard sell for me.
