One worksheet per table you think you would want to create in an ideal SQL database representing the business domain. For instance:

Worksheet #1: Customers
ColA: Id
ColB: Name
ColC: Email
...
Worksheet #2: Orders
ColA: Id
ColB: CustomerId
ColC: ItemId
ColD: OrderDateUtc
...

You probably want to fill in a few example rows per table to illustrate intent and how things relate together.

The advantages with this approach are impossible to overstate. Being able to send a dead-simple spreadsheet via email to your domain experts can save a ton of frustration and meetings.
The article mentions a circuit simulation package named JuliaSPICE, but I can't find any intonation on it. Can someone please provide a link?

> Why have such expensive buildings and transportation needs if there's no benefit?

Because modern capitalism demands that children be kept at school for most of the day - in Germany we call the trend "Ganztagsschule"/"whole day school" - so that both parents can be exploited.

Decades ago, school days were far shorter and there were no such things as school lunches simply because 99% of children had a parent at home able to feed them. When children were sick, they were kept at home instead of spreading their germs at school.

We need to get working hours and wages under control. 20 hours of work a week should be more than enough, given the massive automation gains over the last decades.
The other end of the conversation escrows the key on any messenger. Otherwise how would you read the message? Unless you consider Snapchat, but that's not End to End Encrypted.

And are you really sure that Signal or your preferred messengers don't also have Zero-Click exploits? After all, they aren't sandboxed to the degree iMessage is with BlastDoor.
Except they still lie constantly and clearly that message hasn't sunk in if HN commenters such as yourself still defend them. The days of non-partisan, non-clickbait and thoroughly researched journalism is long over, yet many still don't hold them to the same standards they would to any blog.

It causes "harm" to call out their lies? Get real, they've fanned the flames for riots and other political violence for years now and that's far more harmful than calling them terrible for doing so.
I don't think this makes much sense. We don't even know if the APTs actually do operate on Chinese soil, much less that the Chinese government condones them.

All we know is that they used Chinese IPs at some point and Chinese configured computers, and that they went after military targets.

And we don't even know that these are the same APTs.
How does that clear with "NSO does not operate its technology" though?
Ugh yeah, it just doesn't work well with Python. A friend of mine went down the same rabbit hole trying to debug a C extensions... it's a shame.

I dated a journalist once. She used some random free app for phone calls because recording calls isn't built into iOS and she needed to record calls. I suggested a small device for her to plug her headphones through, but she declined.

I'm sure there's a few journalists out there that take cybersecurity seriously, but I'd wager the vast majority are pretty trivially monitored.

Julia Computing Raises $24M in Series A
If one want to see how people perceived the relation between Hillary Clinton and Assange in 2010, this song/video demonstrate it quite well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl4NlA97GeQ

Julan Assange also participated in the creation of a video with the same group released closely afterward, which at least implies that he might share the song writers perspective.

I have tried to found a source for what the lyrics say, but at any rate it seems clear that there existed an opinion (which very likely was shared by Assange) that Hillary Clinton where out to get Assange and an active part of the US actions against him. The exact wording is "charged for high treason", which is different from a drone strike but carries the same result: Death.

In my intepretation, it seems pretty clear that Assange might have had a negative opinion about Hillary Clinton 6 years later, rather than being neutral about the whole thing. Having the perception that someone is after to kill you can have that.

(Anyone that thinks that the band is a right-wing group should check out the videos produced about Trump).
A P4 was my partner through many adventures in the early 0's so I have fond memories of it. Some of the later chips were clocked aggressively and helped it keep up with AMD's offerings.

If Itanium made the list, so should

which was even more radical and failed even more abjectly. (Like IBM's AS/400, that chip had object-oriented and capability-based ideas built in.)
“What I am debating is whether raising rages simply causes inflation that then negates the effect of the wage.”

You could argue that exactly this has happened when upper incomes were raised disproportionately in the last few decades. All the major expenses/investments of that class like housing, health care, education, stocks and others shot up. Seems there is more money around than they can use productively so they just kept bidding up prices.
The nature of comment sections like this don’t matter in the slightest if anyone is actually worried about it affecting anything, this isn’t copyright reform.

Exchange being hacked has 0 relevance to HN commenters, their knowledge, or their influence. Absolutely nobody cares about the technical specifics, or technical effects of this. This is an exec level political issue, and is more related to the recent trade wars than infosec.

There is a frankly stupid amount of bipartisan US consensus on confronting China. MENA is being put to simmer. A form of “rapprochement” with Russia is underway, and the EU & NATO are barking when told.

The comparisons to the Iraq war are apt in the sense there’s essentially nothing anyone outside those circles can do about this.

Bonus points for the fact there’s 0 chance of this going kinetic anytime soon, so no blood, guts, and (non climate) refugees to affect PR going forward.

They can be very different things.

Not necessarily, there are different ways to control companies in China. The big and important ones tend to be JVs and the Chinese have various ways to control the board, whether it's 51% directly or via proxy. For smaller ones, they mostly just have a small CCP cell that reads CCP literature. It's like bible study groups, but on XJP, apparently.

>I guess our difference is opinion is when you want to invest your time learning

Yes I think so. I'm very focused on delivering business value as soon as possible. There is often a lull after the first version where the biz endless discusses and re-evaluates everything. I use this as time to learn. Of course, the next time around you start from the new point and learn something else to make things better/faster/automated.

Now I'm at a point that I really don't do what I suggested, becz it's all second nature. However I think for early founders (especially with not much runway), that investment in time can be a time sink where they are thinking they are in motion, but it might not be that important for the short term.

In my experience, short term user feedback is important as the number of very early pivoting I've experienced (at startups) is frankly ridiculous. Sounds like you did things more grown-up than I experienced.
> The computer era is revolutionizing the game again and maybe will usher in new popular variants…

It’s going to be fascinating to see. I can imagine games getting “frozen” with hard coded rules and clear Official Rules too. I expect that to happen to word spellings, for example, with most everything we write having a layer of autocorrect in the loop. Digital games could do the same, when you can’t make house rules without programming your own variant.
> aiding and abetting a crime

You are using this word as a taint, free of context. In the way people toss away drug users because after all possessing drugs is a crime. Therefore, they are a criminal.

You don't ask, why is this a crime? Should we respect this law? Forget all that, obviously someone made up this great law and people who don't follow it are bad.

Classification blocks real journalists from pursuing stories all the time. It works. It literally almost worked in Watergate. The fist hearings into Nixon's dirty money machine closed with little to show because of government secrecy. The government classifies millions of documents per year. It's not just state secrets. It's anything that could be embarrassing, anything that might undermine a government position, etc.
Why highlight the very small, early study with Half of the kids who contract Covid19 suffer from "long covid"?

The next paragraph in your link gives 14.5%:

The UK Office for National Statistics's latest report
estimates that 12.9 per cent of UK children aged 2 to 11,
and 14.5 per cent of children aged 12 to 16, still have
symptoms five weeks after their first infection. Almost
500,000 UK children have tested positive for covid-19
since March 2020.

Most medical bodies say it normally takes a few days or
weeks to recover from covid-19, and that most will make a
full recovery within 12 weeks.

I've had the same issue, and out of the many therapists I've seen only 1 was effective. Many people have trouble finding decent therapists, and I could go on for hours about bad ones - e.g one who went through the DSM, starting with the 'A's, trying to find a diagnosis that fit well enough.

The one who I had some success with also said I needed 'coaching' moreso than therapy, and taught me about cognitive-behavioral therapy. Which is a simple process of conditioning your own thought processes to be more productive and healthy.

If I had to do it again, I personally wouldn't go through the trouble of trying to find a good therapist. Luckily I think cognitive-behavioral therapy is something a competent and self-aware person could absolutely learn and practice on their own(I'm sure I'm breaking some rule of psychology by saying that though).
> When you find a page [...] and you want to make sure it's available to you later, what do you do?

Instead of doing a bad and lossy job of archiving the page myself, I notify† our friendly neighbourhood archivists at the Internet Archive of the page; and they then do the best, most lossless job of preserving the page that they're able, given their cumulative experience.

† http://blog.archive.org/2017/01/25/see-something-save-someth...

As a side-benefit, they also then take care of keeping the archive they've made around and available online in perpetuity, with no additional marginal effort on my part. The same can't be said for something in my own "private collection."
From what i know about the US, racism is one of your lesser issues. Its just very, very loudly overemphasized because it distracts from the failings of your social, healthcare and governmental system. The poor people suffer the most from this, and take a guess who is disproportionately poor.
The only thing I've been able to do to get an M1 to spin up the fan noticeably and get warm is to max out both the CPU and the GPU by playing Minecraft Java in a huge world or running other 3D-heavy things.

The same things on an Intel laptop will turn it into what my friend comically calls a "weenie roaster" (for what it does when it's on your lap).

Things like JetBrains CLion don't even make the M1 warm. That will make any Intel laptop start cookin'.

In a job I had a couple of decades ago, I did work very much like this (not with music, but along the same lines). This certainly can be done, but your method isn't the way to do it.

There are two primary methods of accomplishing this. The fast and dirty method is to employ a notch filter to exclude all frequencies outside of those used by the human speaking voice (which, fortunately, is a rather narrow frequency range). The second is to perform some fancy mathemetics to be more selective about what you're filtering out and when. There are a number of different approaches to this, but they typically involve autocorrelations or crosscorrelations.

Both methods will cause a degradation of the audio you want to keep (the quick and dirty method will cause more degradation than the sophisticated methods). But the Q&D is often good enough, and is often used by karaoke machines and the like.

Simply trying to subtract out the known signal (as you were doing) is technically plausible -- and is done for certain types of signals -- but is very hard to do effectively. There are too many environmental effects that will distort the signal and make naive subtraction ineffective.
You played a modern interpretation. No one knows what the original game was.
Try one of the big consulting firms. They will only care about the degree and your friend can learn a lot of stuff, make a little money, and use that time to figure out where in the industry they really want to go. The job will probably suck, but they'll learn a lot.

> Isn’t it a good thing that we enjoy rapid progress? To the extent that we get to enjoy things like YouTube and sandspiel, yes! But to the extent that we want the internet to be a place where we can work and live and think and communicate free of malware, surveillance, dark patterns and the insidious influence of advertising, the answer is, empirically, sadly, no. The web has become ad-corrupted hand-in-hand with growth in technological capability, and the symbiotic relationship between web and browser means they feed on each others’ churn. Ads demand new sources of novelty to put themselves on, so the web expands continually, the specs grow in complexity, the browsers grow in sophistication, the barrier to entry grows ever higher, the vast cost of it all demands more ad revenue to fund it... and thus the perpetual motion machine is complete.
mkudffs (a.k.a. mkfs.udf) on the whole block device, by default it uses --bootarea=erase, and results in a device that automounts on macOS, Windows 10, and GNOME and KDE (at least).

There is also --bootarea=mbr which sounds similar to what this script is doing but I'm not sure why it's necessary; maybe for older versions of Windows.
Is that significantly different from the way people now do this with JSON?
> In the first couple of years I remember getting so irritated by all the time it took to take care of the house and yard.

It's always been a problem for me. My work keeps me so busy (that's how I can afford the house) and much of the limited free time I have goes to my son's activities. The only thing that allows me to get it done is that my son is old enough to help me.

> I don't think I've had a single year where I didn't have to spend 10K on maintenance.

I kept hearing $150-200 a month for maintenance before I bought my house. That was just a bit on the low side. I had one year where I paid 20K for maintenance on a house less than 20 years old. There's always something, and if you postpone your maintenance (when it's even possible) you're going to have to find a way to catch up in the future.
You can also implement rudimentary logic strictly with Excel functions, no need for VB, to create a kind of MVP/prototype of the system. Then it can be migrated to a real database or other representation format and program once you have a solid idea of what you're representing and why. And since it's data-centric there's less of a tendency to screw up by mixing the data layer and logic layer too much within this prototype, you're almost forced to create a clean separation. Then you have a data model that you can use in the core of a variety of applications with various business and view logics distinct or common between each.

There's not really much public about it yet. There'll be a technical talk about it at JuliaCon and we're talking to initial potential customers about it, but it's not quite ready for the wider community yet. If you want some of the technical details, I talked about it a bit in this earlier thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26425659 about the DARPA funding for our neural surrogates work in circuits (which will be part of the product offering, though the larger product is a modern simulator + analog design environment, which is supposed to address some of the pain of existing systems with the ML bits being a really nice bonus).
Where do I enter the intangible value of owning: "Don't have to worry about getting priced out if the neighborhood becomes popular; can do any improvements I want, when I want, how I want, and they become an asset; don't have to worry about not getting lease renewed at an inconvenient time (perhaps in the middle of a school year) when the owner's nephew gets divorced and needs a place; on the other hand, don't have to worry if I do want/need to move unexpectedly, but I'm in the middle of a lease."

Versus, of course, for renting: "don't have to worry that the roof will need replacement, etc."

Finally, you can do all the calculating you want, but retrospectively the biggest effect on financial outcome is liable to be whether you bought in what turns out to be the Detroit vs. Silicon Valley of say 40 years ago. Who knew back then? Who knows now? You pay your money and you take your chances.
+1 to including some kind of rent-growth factor. Where I live the amount a landlord can increase rent every year is capped fairly low (like 3%?) and I stayed in the same apartment for 7 years. In the beginning my rent was market rate and by the end it was way below. By not bouncing around apartments every couple of years I saved a ton of money which I ended up using for a down deposit on a house. On paper the decision looks crazy because the mortgage payments are higher than the rent I was paying but it doesn't take into account that moving wasn't an option, I'd have to stay in the same place forever (or at least until I got "renovicted").

XML has always felt to me as both a great and a terrible idea, at the same time.

The fact it's built around schemas is great, and this makes it way better at representing serialized structured data on a file than JSON and anything schemaless. On the other hand though, it has perhaps one of the worst syntaxes known to man. I dread reading and writing complex stuff in XML (Plists are one of the worst offenders), as it is often true that a lack of thought at time of schema definition can causes terrible readability problems that tend to linger for years.

People are often in a hurry when releasing a new piece of software, and XML makes very easy for a hasty developer to overcomplicate things.

Certain pieces of XML basically require you to edit them through the GUI tool that created them, and the punishment for not doing so is having to recover a completely messed up XML file. I am personally a strong believer in the idea that a text file MUST be easy to edit by hand, because someone will always try opening it up in Vim and edit it that way.

If a given file format forces you to use (de jure or de facto) a specific program to edit it safely, it should be using a binary representation instead. Binary files are often smaller, and have the unintended additional bonus of making the file not editable in a text editor.
It was never widely used, however, and in many cases those documents were parsed as HTML because the server was never configured correctly — I believe actual correct usage is well under 1% – so I would not be making any new investments in that direction.

The big thing I'd be curious about is what happens when new features are added: do they get added to the XHTML parsers as well or does that become a legacy path drifting behind the main web platform? I believe there were already some issues with Chrome along those lines when they added JS modules, for example.
Basically, the syntax is similar to matlap as well as lots of the same features around functional and variable deceleration as python. The best thing for sure is the native support for parallel processing. Where python is single tread.
