Cool! I made a Bible program myself (scrolltag.com) a while back. I have also made a series of explanatory videos on the entire Old Testament (~280 videos) I made for a Bible College. Maybe you can include them. theapprenticeship.org/otvideos.html
I also found that on my end, forgot I was running lighthttpd with some test website.
Which university offers/ed triple majors? And what would've made your psychology PHD beneficial?
Oh, there are so many other distractions, they don't need one more.

In any case, people have been complacent with regards to your list of complaints anyway, it's not as though we're on the verge of a revolution (we're not VZ or NK or IR, needing vigorous distractions)
Yes that is the same tweet referenced above. They accused him of multiple things such as "groping female devs", "trying to pour drinks down the throat" of a drunk girl who bit his face. He apologized for SIC "shitty, creepy" behavior, but he never explicitly apologized for groping & wasn't accused of groping anyone specifically. I don't see how any of that is inconsistent with the author saying above that he didn't grope anyone.
I thought asynchronous circuits would be more prevalent in the future
because clock speeds couldn't increase indefinitely, but it turned
out that everyone would rather use all kinds of weird-ass kludges to
avoid them in ASIC and FPGA design such as frequency scaling and
multiple clock domains. I also expected functional programming to become more mainstream, which partly happened.
Or is Red Hat the exception that proves the rule? Red Hat has been around for a long time and is still one of the very few OSS organizations of that magnitude. The other ones I can think of like SuSE all also date back to the same time period. We're not seeing new Red Hats or SuSEs being born.
I've watched a couple of giant-box openings on youtube where people buy unsold/returned stuff (and feeling my soul draining through my eyeballs) and decided that the landfill is just exactly where most of this stuff needs to go.

Perhaps that can be the model of the New Economy. All of the 'knowledge workers' can design/manage surveillance and all of manufacturing can provide piles of things that go immediately to the dump.
Had a good run? Java is still huge.
Well, this is short-term. Long-term, if they don't test their war machine, a new war can break up and kill waaaay more whales in the process, quite possibly all of them.
You mean it’s untrustworthy code.

Supply chain attacks exploit that fact that far too much code is inappropriately trusted.
I thought that by now we would get something like a global virtual reality simulation (something like one in Ready Player One)... instead now we have Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. Huge disappointment to see so much talent so much wasted.
I think the argument would be that this actually could be measured short term (probably all the staff will say they feel better in two weeks) but if in Q3 the CEO realizes they need to roll out some features before a Q4 quarterly call then what could have been a 12 week project will turn into a cramped 10 week project.
Why is that vague? The data is perfectly explained in the linked article.
I'm sorry, but this is a pile of mumbly-bumbly.

Yeah probably no lurking variable there...

> If the CRT you are talking about only exists in the minds of obscure scholars and texts, then it is just a fantasy, and doesn't really exist. The only real CRT is what is actually being implemented in classrooms across the country.

Imagine replacing CRT in this sentence with quantum physics or advanced macroeconomics. It doesn't make sense, and leaning heavily on "oh but the children" doesn't really win any points if you don't have a rational explanation of how this is happening.
Currently I've added ESV, NIV, NRSV, KJV, and a few other public domain translations. Getting access to translations has been a challenge due to licensing costs.

I tend to agree
Although apps are open source there is a lot of potential that all those information can be missued mainly for tracking:

1) Some other countries or commercial venues using their own version of VERIFIER app (based on open source) that pings some server online

2) Some other countries using their own version of ID app (based on open source) that pings some server online while QRCODE is rendered/generated

I'm just wondering why they havent designed it in different way (only when applying for use in commercial venues):

For application inside nightclubs, concerts etc. :

1) QRCode doesn't have any private data such as firstname / family name / date of birth etc (so that it's impossible to create profile ID)

2) While downloading your qrcode for the first time after installing the app (onboarding), it ask your for e.g scanning your National ID and/or holding your phone in front of mirror to verify your face (similar like other banking app do). After verification only then generates offline qr code for you

3) While onboarding it is mandatory that app is protected with your FaceId or TouchId

4) Such app can be installed only on one device (similar like in Whatsapp once trying onboarding on new device the previous app code is invalid) - any qrcode would be valid only for 48h

5) Bouncer still scan qrcode to check offline if is properly signed by authority + communicated with the app P2P via NFC/Bluetooth/Proximity to verify this is neither
screenshot nor some unauthorized app.

ad 5) Verifier maybe would have to ping some server to check that App is legit but wouldn't know who is checkin in

I haven't seen those particular ones. But it's still a stretch to take their word that it's "not possible, period". Eye-witnesses are not at all reliable. Radar is spoofable and confusable, even just by meteorological events. And just because the radar saw something and the eye witnesses saw something doesn't mean they are the same thing. There's a lot of room for error.

Nothing unexpected. You're charged N reads where N is the number of docs traversed.
I've not used inspec but since I intercept a lot of security related concerns/complaints from my client base, I decided to try this out with my company's product.

Honestly, I'm not impressed, as it's about as it's just a straight up diff of some collected metrics from different snapshots with no real context or even mapping of events it diffs to the application/user/process responsible, and the discoverability of what actually changed isn't great.

The reports simply show as HTML text lists (all in red strangely, which I don't like), and unless I'm mistaken, there's no interactivity with them. I suppose it's a nice before and after, but it feels very limited in the information it offers, and I honestly don't like the UI presentation at all. Similarly, the documentation references UI elements that don't exist (for example, it mentions a Results item on the main menu that is not present, and I believe they mean Analyze).

Edit: added to last paragraph since I hit submit too soon.
The problem is the assumption of linearity. Things are good now but it seems to me things are getting better at a decelerating rate, and some trends have even started to reverse in the most westernized countries. Most of what’s getting better in the world is in places like Africa or Brazil, emerging economies. Things aren’t getting better for a lot of people in a lot of cities in America. People are fleeing la, sf, etc... Empires rise and fall, predictably.
I'd say it can be made faster because you can control the streaming quality and compression algorithms.
I would think that early adaptors would look to take X% of their profits through crypto. If they can afford to continue operating even if they lose X, then it is an attractive opportunity, given the fact that it can rise in value so much (likely to be partly driven by their adoption if they are big and important enough). Eventually, a coin will inevitably become the default, and balance out. So, I personally don't see the instability factor as an issue right now.
SimCities and SimCrises (2017)
I'm amazed at the amount of discussion, period. The article factually laid out the small amount of information encoded in the QR code, walked through the data format, and showed it to be pretty minimal and well-designed. No URLs, no hidden trackers, no evil ad salesman selling your browser history. Yet here we are at the #1 spot on HN and almost 400 comments. Full of conspiracy theories, COVID-downplayers and anti-vaxxers. I'm trying to connect the dots between a QR code and the New World Order, and I'm coming up empty. I thought HN was above this and wish this stuff could stay on Facebook and Twitter.

From the post about the original finding (https://travisdowns.github.io/blog/2020/05/13/intel-zero-opt...), it looks like Haswell did not have this optimization to begin with (find section Hardware Survey and look at the different architectures - specifically looking for divergence in performance at L3 and RAM between orange and blue dots).

> people jump from "UFOs" to "extraterrestrials"

But that's where all the fun of it is!
> PATCH or PUT edited the files on the server

The HTTP spec refers to these "files" as resources, which it sometimes also calls "data".

All persistent data on a server is a file ultimately, whether it's part of a database or not, so I'm not sure what your point is. Nearly all useful APIs will interact with files.

> If you do that against an api, then the behaviour is to edit the source code of the api (WebDav interpretation)

What? Absolutely not. I have no idea how you made this leap. WebDAV is just a specific HTTP spec that involves content. There is nothing in the HTTP spec that relates to editing source files.

> I see no way of interpreting the spec as saying using POST to send messages to an api endpoint for processung instead of some specific method, is less correct than using a more specific method.

I don't either. That's not at all what I was contending.

Here's what the spec clearly says about the difference between POST and PUT:

> "The fundamental difference between the POST and PUT requests is reflected in the different meaning of the Request-URI. The URI in a POST request identifies the resource that will handle the enclosed entity. That resource might be a data-accepting process, a gateway to some other protocol, or a separate entity that accepts annotations. In contrast, the URI in a PUT request identifies the entity enclosed with the request -- the user agent knows what URI is intended and the server MUST NOT attempt to apply the request to some other resource. If the server desires that the request be applied to a different URI, it MUST send a 301 (Moved Permanently) response; the user agent MAY then make its own decision regarding whether or not to redirect the request."

How does the scanner app verify the signature? Does it always have to be online, or does it have a set of trusted public keys included?

How are the codes generated to begin with? Is there some central database that hands them out, or can any clinic generate one (having access to a copy of the private key?)

If the events are not caused by the US military, which they claim they are not, and if the events are not caused by a rival super power, which there is absolutely no evidence of, then what caused it?

I'm curious to know your thoughts about that, because people are often quick to shutdown the idea of aliens because of social norms, but with little other explanation what else do we have?

We do live in a strange universe, so maybe there is something else at play that is beyond our understanding, but in any case, its very exciting.
Most anecdotes I read said the 8-15 year (I'm year 9) scale for the allergy to fade if at all, I don't recall what they said they had for reactions/accidental allergen dosages during their years though.

Accidental allergen exposures happen once in a while, as you get used to the diet and learn hidden sources of allergen, they happen less. There's been no point in time when I thought I had to test if the allergy had gone away yet because I can usually remember a recent small or big hive from the past year. Right now I think I'm at least 1.5 year without hives, probably thanks to quarantine forcing a more controlled diet.

Since about my second year of being allergic I've been very well adjusted to my fish/bird meat only diet and have no insatiable desire for a steak so I'm OK waiting another few years before purposefully trying anything dangerous.
A nurse can take a CRP quick test. Home test kits are available to order as well, but I haven't tried them.

If UAPs are a natural phenomenon, then why such secrecy? Why make a meeting behind closed doors at the government level?

If they are advanced craft/drones from Russia/China, then what about all the various UFO sightings and reports collected all over the world over a period of 70+ years?

Now, does it mean aliens are behind the phenomenon? Not necessarily, but I think we have to be open to that possibility, yes. Even if we don't understand their motivations in visiting us. I'm not sure why people are so polarized about it.
Since it’s a small language that already supports yielding for I/O, it shouldn’t be too hard to automatically insert an instruction into all loops to check if they need to pause. You could write it manually to prototype.

(Or at least I assume it works that way based on studying Wren.)
(Not the author) I’ve learned to not get my hopes up about the capabilities of external format-parsing libraries when building tools like this (to the point of often not bothering to evaluate them for fit-for-purpose any more), as they often expose only a high-level fully-decoded representation that’s unsuited to examination of “why” something decoded to what it did.

As such, they often won’t be of any help in a situation where you’re trying to use them to diagnose where exactly a corrupted piece of data is going wrong — which is one of the biggest use-cases for such tooling!
I initially thought that the AI technology will fully mature in the early 2010s. I never thought that programmers and developers will become a popular occupation in the modern era.
Weblists – Create and share lists with anyone on the web
No. Modern computers seem considerably faster to me than the ones I was using in the '90s and early '00s, especially computers that are 4-5 years old running recent software. I remember a lot of choppiness and spinning hourglasses which are much less common today.

when it comes to historically significant texts, I like having the ability to cross reference editions, esp. with translated works. translator annotations and marginal information are usually where I derive the most value. would love to see an "annotated king James" that contains information about potential linguistic issues migrating to English, as well as notes about translational ambiguities etc
[disclaimer - am an Elixir and Phoenix developer, and a Python developer, but only a little bit a Django developer]

Django still has a bit more stuff out of the box or from the community. There are various pieces that you can use from scratch. For a lower complexity, simple web app if your team hasn't built their "usual needed bits" Django is probably going to give you more.

Elixir/Phoenix is a much better platform that is going to help you more once you're out of the initial bring-up. E.g. they provide authentication templates but explicitly don't just hand you auth because they philosophically believe that it's too integrated with your app that "one size fits all" can ever work (I agree with this). Once you need to do backend work, it's just more Elixir rather than Unicorn etc.
Very cool! I'll check it out.
Your economic model seems to boil down to "all money that can be spared flows to landowners"
A bit. It's more an allergy, like a peanut or shellfish.

Prions change the affected protein itself. This alpha-gal protein triggers a broken immune response where your body learns to identify regular animal protein as a foreign invader, so henceforth whenever you eat animal protein you get an immune reaction.

There are vast numbers of returns from Amazon and all sorts of other companies that are not sold by them again, (whether as new or via their “Amazon Warehouses” discounted price) nor destroyed. These items are sold in bulk by the pallet and semi-load to other companies who can do then triage the products and decide what to do with them. Sometimes they end up back on Amazon, for sale by a third party. One local company auctions items online on their own site for pickup only. Others go onto eBay, etc.
As someone who’s used Quake level editors… no, it’s not more convenient. You can align textures to each other but not to the geometry, not easily. One of the most annoying things to do in old Quake level editors is to try and take a standard "crate" and rotate it by some amount. It's just a cube with square textures, and yet it's a pain.

The texture coordinates are not converted to U/V pairs. You may be thinking of one of other Quake-derived engines like GLQuake.
Multiple clock domains is really just async-lite. True async circuits have to pay for all that added complexity, except to an even greater extent.

There are a number of flat-out incorrect statements in that article.

>FOSS is typically created by individuals, not by corporations (although there is a shift toward FOSS companies), and since the software is free, you can not sell or license it to make money.

Most major FOSS projects have significant corporate backing--and have for a long time. And those companies sell open source or otherwise use it in ways that make them money.

Even those public institutions are not fully publicly funded and rely on donations, tuition, and a variety of other revenue streams to operate. Those streams may include revenues generated from sports, which means those athletes playing for schools with highly successful programs end up playing a key role in ensuring their schools are financially stable.

As noted in this article:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/kristidosh/2017/06/12/the-bigge...

> At many universities I polled, the university and athletic department split licensing revenue 50/50. So, even if the sweatshirt sold in the bookstore is specifically branded for the football program, that money is divided between the university and athletics.

If you want a fully publicly funded system with no private dollars flowing in to support it, elect politicians who will make that happen.

Unfortunately, in the US, that's simply not the way the system works today.

Just one cite I can give recently:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27179397

> I find it frustrating that crypto-currencies are judged by their energy usage, meanwhile traditional fiat currencies are secured by massive banking industries, governments, and militaries. The total energy required to maintain a secure and stable fiat currency is likely orders of magnitude greater than that of Bitcoin today.

I originally had the quote as a strawman rendition (an exaggeration of the but-you-forgot-to-account-for-X arguments) of the enthusiasts trying to explain away Bitcoin's rapacious energy consumption, and like a week later, I actually saw someone try to specifically cite the energy cost of carriers.

Since then, virtually every thread on Bitcoin's energy consumption has had some people come out of the woodwork with that kind of defense, and I don't really have the mood to do the searching to establish just how common those views are.
