Not only that, but all the hashes will probably be broken at some point in the future. We thought MD5 was the be-all end-all of hashes back then, but here we are at SHA-512 thinking it's our masterpiece. Two decades from now it will probably be obsolete.
Someone close to me broke their arm, and had to have it pinned. As it healed the bone rotated and shifted slightly.

In discussing whether they'd need to try to correct this movement via surgery, the doctor very much said "it's a problem if it's a problem". When it fully healed the person had full use of their arm, so the doctor was satisfied with the outcome.

The doctor did also say that different countries had different philosophies on what they expected a healed bone to look like. In their experience Canadians were more likely to be OK with an imperfect solution, but Australians were more likely to want the break healed in a "like new" condition.

Some of the clones use Clojurescript too. Athens and Logseq for example. Seems to be weirdly popular in this particular niche.
Given that Circle is based in the US and subject to US court rulings, more likely they would need to freeze and hold those assets pending any potential lawsuits to recover funds.

Ask HN: Can anybody compile all of Paul Graham's essays into a .mobi file?
I love his essays, but I can't read the longer ones on a computer monitor or my phone. I'd rather do it on my Kindle. Is there a way someone could convert them all to a single .mobi file?
We have an internal tool that autoformats code (it calls clang for C++, some other tool for C#, and autopep8 for python). But for Python I did not want to rely on python, but have it a separate standalone .exe that can run by itself (almost, still needed python38.dll). So nuitka helped me there:

I wrote a small app, which is simply:

autopep8tool.py:
import autopep8; autopep8.main()

Then had this .bat file to do the .exe for me:

autopep8tool.make_exe.cmd:
@echo off
pushd %~dp0
call "%VS140COMNTOOLS%\..\..\VC\bin\amd64\vcvars64.bat"
p4 edit ..\tools\autopep8tool.\*
p4 edit ..\tools\python38.dll
for /d %%i in (*.dist *.build) do rd %%i /s /q
echo import autopep8; autopep8.main() > autopep8tool.py
call nuitka --standalone --assume-yes-for-downloads --unstripped --windows-dependency-tool=pefile autopep8tool.py
copy autopep8tool.dist\autopep8tool.\* ..\tools
copy autopep8tool.dist\python38.dll ..\tools
for /d %%i in (*.dist *.build) do rd %%i /s /q
popd

works great so far, and even that the produced .exe is 10mb + 4mb python38.dll, it's great logistical saver (IMHO), as I can rotate the tool to other teams, depots, without requiring proper python (which is even trickier on windows). It's probably not completely sandboxed (hermetic), but works well so far.

calling autopep8.exe --help even gives the right help.

So great tool (though I've been told about others, like google's subpar, etc.)
Cancel a debt and you won't immediately see "number go up". Hence probably even less attractive from a political standpoint
The problem with your assumption is that you're assuming there are a finite number of states. There might be an uncountably infinite number of states, for instance if the states were the reals between 0 and 1.
Super cool, thank you. Might I request Kubernetes?
I think it’s a nuanced point. There is definitely a strong patriarchy in Chinese culture, and there was never anything like the Women’s liberation movement. But Women weren’t excluded from the workforce since the rise of communism… so it was more a slight head start on higher participation rates of employment.
Realistically, that's not going to happen unless a harmonic lands within the ATC band or a GPS subband.

The trouble is, that's entirely possible. This sort of thing needs a good enclosure, or at least some board-level shielding.
I agree with you about "normalization" vs "de-stigmatization", but I can't imagine she meant "normalization" like this?

> people like me are here, everywhere, you could be me at any point in your life

That's a very important point, and I believe that's what she meant by "normalise". "Normalise" in the "people with depression are normal people with an illness, not 'ill people', anyone can be affected because it's a normal illness like an infection" kind of way, which more or less equals de-stigmatization, right?

But English is not my first language, it's totally possible I'm reading this the wrong way, feel free to correct me if that's not a possible way to read this article. :-)

I can't really imagine that anyone with depression would really want to "normalise" it in the dictionary way, by suggesting that it should be untreated and a "normal way of life". On the contrary, nobody should have to suffer from this. :-/

If your only motivation is that you are fed up with your ISP (join the club!) that may not be enough. If you are fed up with your ISP, have a spare $25k laying around, and/or have access to grant money, then we should talk. (Many states have grant funding available today specifically for broadband projects in rural or underserved areas.)

I do consulting work on these types of projects as my main gig now. Many of my customers own businesses in other industries, live in a small town, and decided that their Internet sucked and they want to fix it. But it does take some capital.

"At the local level, US cities where opiates are effectively decriminalized like SF have horrible outcomes when it comes to drug abuse and overdoses."

The obvious question to ask is if the rampant drug abuse and overdoses in SF is due to decriminalization or something else? And has decriminalization made the situation better or worse?

I would argue that to prevent unintentional overdoses the best thing to do (other than improve people's lives so they don't feel a need for substances that could be harming them) is to legalize these drugs, make them pure, clearly label them, and educate people on how much of a dose in what circumstances would be an overdose.

That alone would greatly reduce the harm, and be much more effective than making/keeping these drugs illegal and forcing their users to play the lottery with a mystery drug of unknown purity and dosage every time they snort or inject.

That's not to mention the harm of being shot or assaulted by the police during an arrest for drug use, your life being ruined by a felony conviction, possibly getting raped, tortured or murdered in prison, being kept out of the legal economy afterward you get out (if you get out) because of a felony conviction, etc..
It's whataboutism, not "reason".
It's unbelievable that nobody has done this well - I and most people I know are tracking their own job searches on a spreadsheet.

I can't shake the feeling that the otters could have used a bulletin board - on the left side they could have written "what kind?", in the middle "when", and on the right more detailed description as necessary. Then any otter in a hurry could skim through the left column, find topics they liked, and just read that part from the right.

Sorry, it's not really a fair criticism, and I did like the art style - I just don't like Kafka much because I had to deal with it in places where it didn't make much sense.
> In the United States (note: GEA-1 was not a US standard) some expedited licenses were granted to systems that used effective 40 bit keys. In practice (for symmetric ciphers) this usually meant RC2 and RC4 with explicitly truncated keys. GEA-1 does not have a 40-bit key size -- a point I made in the previous post. It has a 64-bit key size. Nowhere does anyone say "the requirement for this design is effective 40-bit security": they don't say anything at all. It could have had 24 bit security, 40 bit security, 56 bit security or even 64-bit security.

Really? How would you get 64-bit security from a 40-bit key?
that's so cool
I agree with all of this, and I want to add that it's truly cross platform. Their web app is the same experience as their native app (this suggests electron but I'm not an electron hater and the native app is not a resource hog). It also has native builds across platforms, including mobile which is also well done.

There are other good note taking apps out there and there, and there are other note taking apps out there that solve the device problem I struggle so much with. But notion is the best note taking app with the best cross device/platform support I've come across.
This...is brilliant. I could also see this as a print book.
> That's obviously the point, though. You are trading one set of risks for a completely different set of risks.

But that's exactly the point.

People are not able to interpret "smart" contracts. For normal contracts most people can understand the contract and if there is a dispute you have laws and courts who can interpret in every case.

In case of "smart" contracts even the contract developers more often than not seem to not be able to understand all consequences.

So if we are trading one set of risks for another it kinda seems to me to be a a really shitty tradeoff.
That's pretty reasonable. Call it $100 once you add in the Pi and SD card for a useful SDR platform. Have to add whatever antenna you are using too I guess.

Yeah, sometimes the implausible stories are real. During a high school field trip to MIT, our guide saw a helicopter leaving campus, and he said it was probably his friend who goes to vegas to count cards and makes millions. Sure, I thought, sure.

> I agree with the top post that if you're a engineer who hasn't dealt with low level networking stuff, worked in a DC, or had to be on call, this probably isn't a good first project.

I agree. It's software. Lots of software sucks and is buggy and vulnerable. Sometimes mission-critical software sucks and is buggy and vulnerable and causes catastrophes when it fails. A lot of it's malware. A lot of it's inefficient and/or useless.

But a lot of it's good, and more good things will come out over time. It's currently the equivalent of like 1998 in the smart contract space right now.
I've tried really hard to understand which part of that paper is an example of a computation that a Turing machine couldn't implement, and I have been completely unable to do so. I will say that the writing in the paper is in serious need of some basic copy editing - it is full of typos, repeated phrases and entire paragraphs (especially in the abstract).
This generally seems like western media talking points rather than facts.

1. All businesses are not state run or directed.

2. Your characterisation of Guanxi (relationships) is kind of the western negative interpretation of them. America has lobbyists literally bribing politicians… sorry I mean campaign donations.

I’m not sure any of the above describe why China is pushing so far out in front in technology and development… it is more a list of things the west tries to tell itself so they don’t have to confront the fact that they are potentially being outpaced.

> Note that quantum computers are no more powerful than Turing machines;

But computers with self-consistent time travel are more powerful. It's perhaps physically possible to construct one of those, depending on whether we ever end up with a more-correct timeless theory of physics that makes different predictions to existing physics.

> Backpropagation through time is also a pretty simple algorithm, which is already implemented on classical computers.

I read “backprop through time” as meaning that you have the result of the backprop at the beginning of the process – that's more powerful, if we're using continuous computation. (With discrete computation, you're right that it's no more powerful.)
So when you find a person whose highs are higher than yours, and whose lows are lower than yours, and whose life is better than yours, that person doesn't have bipolar disorder, because they're not experiencing problems.

Which makes the idea of "bipolar disorder" meaningless. That person demonstrates that your problems are not caused by bipolar disorder. But the disorder is defined by you having problems, even though the problems come from somewhere else.

This is kinda funny, because I've had the opposite outcome. Well, "ish", because my situation isn't directly comparable.

When I'd leave the house in the morning, there were always five things I needed to have with me: Wallet, phone, badge, glasses, and smokes.

Once a month or so I'd get to work and realize I had left one of these at home. It was a tragedy to be caught an hour from home without my phone or glasses. It was annoying to be without my wallet, cigarettes, or badge.

So I decided to regiment this. Wallet always in the front right pocket, badge always clipped to belt, phone in left back pocket, cigs in front left pocket, and glasses in my backpack. I would pat each location and say out loud, "wallet, badge, phone, smokes, ... glasses".

It didn't work. I quickly just went through the motion of patting and saying without actually verifying the fucking things were there. The first time I forgot an item was a mini existential crisis. ("If I can't account for these simple EDC items when I'm trying to, what hope is there?")

WFH has solved the badge issue. ApplePay mitigates the wallet issue. Glasses are still forgotten sometimes, but my eyesight isn't that bad when I'm out and about (it was only terrible to be without glasses when I worked at a computer in an office). So I guess the situation just solved itself.

I only need to confirm my e-cig is with me. Everything else is either I remembered it or "oh well". And if I quit that, then I'm free :)
So is this event the digital equivalent of the bag of chips getting stuck on the row below it or the frustrated customer shaking the machine until it falls over and squashes them?

With DeFi, you're simply exchanging one type of risk for another. Without due diligence you're pissing your money away- as it is to be expected. And as it was brought up before, this was an unaudited contract that had been running for what, weeks? Months?

Personally, I cannot say I understand DeFi deeply enough to get into the intricacies of "yield farming" and such, so I just avoid it altogether. Only have a relatively small amount of USDC and DAI accruing interest on Compound, which has at the very least been audited [0] a few times before, but even if it were to go tits up tomorrow for whatever reason, at least I understood there was that risk.

In my experience MongoDB has only given me problems (either performance or data loss). Most likely when someone wants so "solve" something with MongoDB, there is always a better technology to do it (Cassandra, ScyllaDB, S3!, PostgreSQL/JSONB). I could Imagine that their current implementation has a half modeled graph-like structure in MongoDB and migrating to something else (I am generally against Neo4J because of their horrible pricing tiers).

> But I don't see any reason to believe that decriminalizing everything would make things better.

The stated intent of decriminalization, redirecting resources from enforcement to treatment, switching to a public health strategy, is harm reduction.

We still don't know what will reduce use and abuse. Whatever the merits of the War on Drugs, it manifestly failed to reduce either.

You made the claim it's advancing at a rapid rate and almost here, and when someone pulled up the data it wildly disagreed with you. Now you're just moving the goalposts.

Let's say your program wants to list a directory and sort by mtime, or size. You need to stat all those files, which means reading a bunch of inodes. And your directory is on flash, so you'll definitely want to pipeline all those operations.

> Using deft allegory, the authors have provided an insightful and intuitive explanation of one of Unix's most venerable networking utilities.
