+1. Bad reporting here. This seems to be mostly about consumer disclosure, not that what's happening under-the-hood is different that what your average security-conscious developer might expect after reading that Plaid doesn't sell your data.

That said I think the suit makes a compelling argument that the disclosures should be better.
Perhaps so they can report you the credit rating agencies if you go into arrears.

If that's the case, it would be an incremental improvement if the credit agencies implemented some tokenization scheme, sort of like credit card gateways do.

Not that anyone should trust the credit agencies either, but you'd still be removing unnecessary points of potential compromise.

Maybe I don't understand what you mean by "perfectly rational". I'm using the definition from the article: A perfectly calibrated individual will be right X% of the time about statements in which they are X% confident.

Are you using a different definition?

I still use it on the computer room of our physics department (around 30 PCs). Slackware is the only distro stable enough to perform excellent on this heterogenous machines mix where some computers could be ten years old. I use a golden image, created and set up with packer and some scripts, and image it using clonezilla.
Orthodoxy has its own issues. What I want is nothing, for people to reach their own conclusions on the merits of whatever it is they are considering, and to be left alone in the quiet of my own thoughts without having to withdraw from society completely
Seeing these comparisons is frustrating and makes it easy to understand why Afghanistan continues to be an enigma to westerners who think they know and understand the realities there on the ground.
London is hard. My take on it was; People go there to "make it" and put huge pressure on themselves to, and as a result live to work.
People end up socialising pretty much only in work circles, and ex-work circles (including uni), a lot of the time because after work is the only time they're in proximity with their social group (as nobody lives closer than 30 mins to anyone else)
As a freelancer I tried to fight this and floated from group to group.
Looking back on my career, the best jobs/work were based almost solely on whom I was working with.

Whilst its not a quick fix (finding the perfect place), if you can't leave london, my perspective would be to try and find an employer/job with people you enjoy being around. If a job is inevitable, spent 50 hours a week amongst people you want to be around.

Hi all, author of Microservice APIs in Python (http://mng.bz/nz48) here!

I just made available for free two chapters of the book! You can download them from the link in the post. Please let me know if you encounter any issues when downloading the chapters.

The first of the chapters is chapter 2 from the book, which showcases how to build an API using FastAPI. The chapter explains not only how FastAPI works, but it also explains some useful patterns for structuring your project, ensuring you keep clear boundaries between different layers of the app.

The second chapter in the booklet is chapter 7 from the book, which explains a few useful development patterns for service implementation. It introduces the concept of hexagonal architecture, explains useful principles such as the dependency inversion principle, and patterns such as repository and unit of work.

These are really my favourite chapters from the book, and I hope you find them useful! If you do, there's a discount code at the end of the booklet which you can use to grab a copy of the book.I'd also love to hear your feedback! Really, I do!

Feel free to share the link with anyone that you think could benefit from this.

Much love and happy hacking!
I would also like to see the (notably, very carefully followed) 'data is not sold' line strengthened to include all other forms of transmission.

Not disagreeing with your overall point, but it's pretty rare for people to port their mobile game to PC even if using Unity and all you have to do is figure out the controls. Which you've probably got a beta version of just to develop the game.
Because the issue is the interactions between the components and not the components themselves.
You don't need to retire to meditate, travel the world, nor learn things for fun. Sounds like you need to figure out what you want, and one way to approach that is to try doing something that isn't what you're doing now. Probably if you leave your job, you would be able to find something like it in the future - software isn't a career path where gaps in your resume make you unemployable, and it absolutely is one where you can experience location flexibility.

Totally agree with this.

When learning Japanese grinding vocab was extremely boring but did a fantastic job of bridging the gap between textbook literature and actually being able to read simpler (middle school level) native literature / comics / news stories.

And I didn't even need that many words to bridge that gap. Maybe like 1000 or so over what I'd already picked up from textbooks.

Now? There's no way in heck I'm going back to grinding vocab and instead slowly pick up new words by reading tons and tons of books.

I still need to rote memorize a bunch of kanji since picking them up naturally is pretty brutal, but like with vocabulary I'll only do it to the point where I can stumble through YA-level books without looking something up every other sentence.
You can easily see that this person was welcomed in the rooms. No one went against it and the CalyxOS developers started going along with it.
hey there! SigmaOS does look amazing and like something I'd use. one question though.... I wasn't able to create a new window, I use multiple screens. when I do "cmd+n" it prompts me to try "W" which creates a new Workspace. Am i missing anything here? or it is impossible to use SigmaOS on different screens at the same time.

Thanks and congrats on the launch!
I think you are confusing the original purpose of our thinking apparatus (social proof first, discovering true facts distant second, unless facts can eat you quickly) and rationality as a system for discovering facts as true as possible with given energy budget that is running on that faulty hardware.

I've actually been answering each spam call - and try to get them to stay on the line for as long as possible.

My assumption is that they have some sort of CMS software and that it costs money to call. If you don't answer - they'll keep trying you. But if you do answer and costs them money - they'll put you in the 'do not call' list.

Just my guess - but so far it has worked for me personally.
It's indeed a great book!

> ...reminiscent of that hilarious Dropbox launch comment, on Linux you can set up a system like this yourself quite trivially.

Well, to be fair, folks on news.yc weren't exactly the kind of first adopters dropbox was after. The same is true for SigmaOS (and other YC companies in the browser space like usemotion.com, mighty.app, and insightbrowser.com). I mean, imagine a superhuman.com launch hn...

Besides, many here question the price point given the alternatives (which is a valid concern). That said, the prevalent sentiment on news.yc has never been an indicator of any company's success. news.yc is a place for tech-savvy enthusiasts, who ironically, react with hostility towards not-yet-obvious disruptions. And to be fair, most disruptions start out on the fringes. And by definition, very few believe in fringe.

The answer is still that relying on the benefits of the document model still makes sense for a lot of applications. It doesn’t matter whether a given engineer has experience with Canvas or not as much when the default choice (DOM) fits majority of use cases. Familiarity with Canvas API may actually endanger a project if an engineer advocating for it doesn’t understand the tradeoffs involved.
Normally we don't compare real browsers to Safari for fear of completely embarrassing it. Are you suggesting we pull the gloves off? Monterey has given me all sorts of gripes that I'd love to get out, I was just hoping an HN thread wouldn't be the place.
I've mentioned this on other forums, but it would help to have some kind of easily visible, public tracker for this progress. Even a text file, set of GitHub issues or project board would do.

Why? Because as-is, most people still believe support for gfx1000 cards is non-existent in any ROCm library. Of course that's not the case as you've pointed out here, but without any good sign of forward progress, your average user is going to assume close to zero support. Vague comments like https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/issues/1542 are better than nothing, but don't inspire that much confidence without some more detail.
> I could probably pin the biggest share of the blame on 10nm problems, which are irrelevant to this architecture.

I doubt that.

If Xeon Phi were a relevant platform, Intel could have easily kept it... continuing to invest into the platform and make it into 7nm like the rest of Aurora's new design.

Instead, Intel chose to build a new platform from its iGPU architecture. So right there, Intel made a fundamental shift in the way they expected to build Aurora.

I don't know what kind of internal meetings Intel had to choose its (mostly untested) iGPU platform over its more established Xeon Phi line, but that's quite a dramatic change of heart.

------------

Don't get me wrong. I'm more inclined to believe in Intel's decision (they know more about their market than I do), but its still a massive shift in architecture... with a huge investment into a new software ecosystem (DPC++, OpenMP, SYCL, etc. etc.), a lot of which is largely untested in practice (DPC++ is pretty new, all else considered).

--------

> As far as this architecture goes, when they announced Aurora was switching, they announced 2021. That schedule, looking four years out for a new architecture, has only had one delay of an extra 6 months.

That's fair. But the difference between Aurora-2018 vs Aurora-2021 is huge.
I kinda wish Apple would let me mark voicemail as spam. They wouldn’t even really need to do anything with that info. Just delete the voicemail and maybe keep track of the number and if I mark the same number three times then block it.

I know I can block a caller, but I don’t know enough about how these scams work to know if blocking a number slows them down at all.

I just don’t let my phone ring ever so I don’t deal with too much of the spam. Every once in a while I open the phone app and see I have like 15 new voicemails. I’m guessing I do that once a month so they are just calling every other day.
The anti-trust is just one more nail in the coffin.

The primary issue is that any solution to App Store "problems" means reduced profitability. So, quite simply, nobody is going to pass that up the management chain.

Sure, Apple gets a PR bruise, but they know that everybody is locked into their iOS ecosystem, so who cares?

> How did a government with 350,000 soldiers, trained and equipped by the best armies in the world, collapse so quickly?

A better question: how did the (arguably at this point) most powerful country on earth fail to understand even the most basic principles of life in Afghanistan and why any counterinsurgency effort, no matter how well-funded and armed, must ultimately end where it has? And even worse, why did this country not learn exactly the same lesson 50 years ago?
What system were you using? I've been waiting AGES for this to come to Steam but for linux.

I think I might be willing to buy a Windows box just for this as I've waited long enough. I haven't had a Windows box in 20 years but for TA, yeah. Any recommendations?

TA was a marvel when it first appeared. The gameplay was very much, for me, a revolution.
I also had random rejections, and a couple years ago, the review process took some days to a week, making oneself pretty anxious while waiting it out.

These days I doubt I would create anything for iOS anymore, since the risk of getting banned over some nonsense without any recourse whatsoever is just too big and I just dont want to deal with losing my precious time and money. There are better alternatives, like the web, etc.

Unfortunately macOS will be going down that path soon, once they remove the ability to install from any source (and they will do it, no doubt).

It’s a real shame.
I didn't know that. Thank you for the explanation!
> If you are building a game from scratch why would you limit yourself to a lowest common denominator interface when there's no need? Just write the exact concrete code that needs to be there to solve the problem.

Coming from the realm of someone who has mostly swam in the OO pool their career, I struggle understanding how a concrete implementation of something like a video game wouldn't spiral out of control quickly without significant organization and some amount of abstraction overhead. That said, I have found ECS type systems be so general purpose that you end up doing a lot of things to please the ECS design itself than you do focusing on the implementation.

Do you have any examples of games and/or code that are written in more of a data oriented way? I'd really love to learn more about this approach.

I get them frequently in Australia. Calls claiming (but likely faked with VoIP) to come from various places overseas, and from within Australia. I get a few different types:

a) Recently it has been computer voices leaving me voicemails claiming I've ordered thousands of dollars of stuff on Amazon, and I need to call some number to cancel the order

b) I got one guy claiming to be from a major ISP and saying my Internet was broken and he needed to help me fix it. I knew it was nonsense because I don't even use that particular ISP

c) Recorded messages claiming the Australian government is going to prosecute me for tax evasion, and if I just wait for the call centre operator to come online, they'll fix the matter for me by accepting payment of unpaid taxes

I think they are just dialling random numbers, looking for easily-tricked people.
They went IPO. They need to write a book on how they did it with their product+marketing.

Yeah difference being those conflicts didn’t involve raining 1000s of bombs down over major cities. The situation for civil war already existed, so the best option is to light the fuse by bombing the place and leaving a power vacuum? Not a great plan to eliminate terrorism or promote stability. It’s not hard to think of better ways to spend tax dollars and avoid the emotional toll of losing many good people.
"Commonly, three numbers are used to specify downsampling:

the first is always 4, don’t ask me why"

Wow. Someone going to this much detail on explaining how a video/image codec works, and cannot bother learning what the numbers of chroma subsampling mean?

The first number represents the luminance.[0] Even if they know the first number represents luminance, the "don't ask me why" is just horrible on its own. The detail in the image is preserved through the luminance channel. The subsampling in the chroma is much less perceptable to humans, but more more noticeable in the luminance. Therefore, some very smart people learned to cheat the data saved for chroma, but not the luminance. "don't ask me why" in detailed write ups is just bad in so many ways.

The Russia take makes no sense. They already have physical defense. They’re just trying to re-carve their sphere that they had.

China has no need for invading Afghanistan. They’re just gonna make clever minimalistic deals with the Taliban to extract rare metals and such. That’s all they need there.

China’s Achilles heel is their burning desire for Taiwan and to always save face, as well as their imports of oil. Other than that they’re a tough enemy.

I’m glad Biden recalibrated towards taking on the CCP since they’re clearly our largest threat and also the free worlds.
> Prepaid cards in the U.S. and Canada are currently exempt from this change.

I'm telling you all, prepaid cards are a scam. Why? One of the reasons besides massive fees and shady tactics for most are because they're so far behind the times. Most don't even have a chip for example. Look at a Netspend card (using it as a prime example) and compare it to any bank card today.
For the record, the engine was written from scratch, and not based, only inspired by TA - to bring its style of RTS to true full 3D. It has compatibility/easy portability of TA maps and units though.
>- that they conform to the types required by the function

>- then you have to check the return type of the function

Those two things seems to be trivial, they're low hanging fruits, at least for "simple types", don't they?

>- to see if variables x, y, z are in scope

every node that can have "body" has its own scope and that scope has also parent scope which it receives from parent and it repeats

e.g function has body which has scope, and then there's if statement in that body, so "if scope" has body's scope as parent, thus receives all declared variable in function body

>- to do that you need to look up the function. Depending on your language it can be any of: available globally, imported from a module, aliased from a module, defined in the file, a variable holding a reference to the function

Nothing seems strange, I assume that whole source code is avaliable at compilation time.

>- so now, depending on your language you have to decide whether the type of the result of the function (which can be simple, imported global, subtype, union...) can be matched against the type of the variable

Definitely things will get more complicated once I stop doing stuff with just ints and bools and try to create complex type system, but for now stuff seems to be easy
Your summary is incorrect. The ETSC recommends that Intelligent Speed Assistance should be able to be overridden.[1] It's supposed to not accelerate as much if you're exceeding the speed limit, and if you override by pressing the accelerator harder, it should show some warning messages and make an annoying sound. It's stupid, but it doesn't actually limit the speed of your car.

I think it's a silly law and I'm very glad I don't live in a place that requires such annoyances, but it's not as bad as you're claiming.

The consensus within the Anki community seems to be that yes, the SuperMemo scheduling algorithm (SM-17) is a bit better than Anki's (SM-2 variant), but not by enough to matter, so you shouldn't worry about it.

But when you look into tests people have done to see how much better it is exactly, it's around 30% more efficient.

I still use Anki and am grateful for its existence, but this is a huge difference in efficiency. I wish there was a better open source scheduling algorithm available.
I had to cram for a FAANG interview earlier this year after being unexpected invited to apply. I came close but didn't get the job and was told I can try again in 6 months. BTW, I'm in Los Angeles.

Then the past few months I've had several other big tech companies reach out and told them I'm not going to interview this summer.

I recently had a former Microsoft Program Manager tell me that "the more experienced the person being interviewed the worse they are at interviews because that haven't used that part the brain in 20 years".

The interviews are such a pain now make me kind of wish I was doing something other than Computer Science.
