You'll happily mention it, and a human can find it if they look through your profile. ML will have a much harder time in comparison to going through some comments, all in a similar way, on a post where everyone is saying something about their state.

It doesn't use Ping on Chrome browsers. For example, this is how the a tag looks like on Chromium:

<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/" data-ved="2ahUKEwiIxrz0jKDzAhUWHcAKHQnnArkQFnoECAcQAx" ping="/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;url=https://news.ycombinator.com/&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiIxrz0jKDzAhUWH...">

and this is how it looks like in Firefox:

<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/" data-ved="2ahUKEwj9i67MjKDzAhXUfMAKHWJcCYsQFnoECA0QAx" onmousedown="return rwt(this,'','','','','AOvVaw3F-2xUE22tTvOxNDwVufx-','','2ahUKEwj9i67MjKDzAhXUfMAKHWJcCYsQFnoECA0QAx','','',event)">

You can see that Chromium based browsers call a ping endpoint whereas Firefox browsers use a mousedown event. This device detection uses the user agent; changing it on Firefox to look like Chrome results in a ping attribute instead of mousedown.
Imgur was awesome for a bunch of years. Glad they had an exit plan.
The subroutine "set_360x350" (in fantasie.asm) brings me back to teenage VGA hacking.

It starts with the standard 320x200x256c MCGA mode (13h), then proceeds to tweak a few dozen video card registers into a combination that produces a 360*350 frame buffer.

The Board not only brushed off brazen fraud by the co-founders, its members went to the press to defend them. Minority investors, including employees with share awards, would have a case for damages.

It would be hard to sell the attack on the USSR to the american public, after years building them as good allies in their fight against Hitler. Such things take 2-3 years of concentrated efforts by state propaganda.

Even in USSR it was a problem to explain why our trustworthy allies have suddenly became evil and took a couple of years.

Yes. This is pretty common, actually. People who force themselves to work on the days they aren't really motivated to work ultimately end up in burnout - sometimes career-ending burnout.

Find an employer that understands this and stick with them, honestly.

I’ve been wondering about the same thing for awhile, but I’ve been mainly focused on physical and mental health side of things.

Of course it’s easier to get up for a task that’s exciting, but I found that my motivation seems to be strongly correlated with my physical well being. One part I’ve been looking at recently is what I eat and how that affects my gut health which affects my mood and motivation.

That being said physical wellness is definitely the only factor as I still get quite big down time (had one yesterday) but not as often and long as I used to have.

It's pretty sickening when hundreds of billionaires and celebrities and rulers fly their private jets to these secretive conferences where they decide exactly how horrible and greedy Joe Coalminer is, and what penance he must pay for his sins.

I can't believe people try to shrug it off as no big deal because the absolute carbon output is small, or postulating that they must have offset it. If there are two things people react badly to, it is injustice / unfairness, and hypocrisy. The ruling class has done more to turn the average person against their climate change proposals than just about anything else, in my opinion. Quite probably by design, such is the blatant audacity of their double standards.

The usual approach is some form of income redistribution.
"For the individual server infos the client currently has to communicate with each game server by UDP, thus revealing its own IP address without having connected to a server. Since one of the known attackers is running their own DDNet server, they can use this method to collect legitimate player IP addresses and spoof them in their attacks."

Interesting. I wonder if running an overlay network would help there. More choices today for userspace overlay networks. Rogue server owners would still see an IP, but they could only attack it from their connected server, not the internet at large. And you could do some kind of ingress/egress filtering.

Some sort of periodic coordinated switching from UDP port A to port B might help too, like a control message that tells the game client to switch ports. Or randomized initial port assignments combined with filters/firewalling or just in-band 'you're not supposed to send here, bye'.

Might sound strange, but you could always contact @olesovhcom on Twitter. He is the CEO of OVH and he made change to their DDOS filter base on what we reported to him. He is always interested in improving is offering. But that was maybe 5 years ago, now maybe he will put you in contact with someone else, but back then they were actively looking for feedback to improve their filter.

Edit: you could always contact their support as well. Fighting DDOS on your own it's an expensive/difficult battle. But their DDOS filter is fully custom (mostly Asic and some Arbor as well).

You identified the essential qualities of spreadsheets, which many programmers fail to realize how important these are; these qualities are what make spreadsheets so useful to non-programmers. A successful development tool for non-coders should retain these, and explore alternative ways to add all the benefits of IDEs without the burden of classic programming languages.

- Spreadsheets don't separate code from data, and that's the single most important reason why they're easy to use and allow non-developers to build automations. They work like an always-on debugger, so normal users can work like a programmer works when exploring and/or fixing a program's behaviour. Practically no other coding tool for non-developers allow this.

- Naming is important for code reuse, not necessarily for one-shot functions; positional reasoning can work equally well there. Spreadsheets do allow naming cells and accessing them by name when needed; but the option not to, which classic PLs don't allow, lowers the entry barrier. Programmers could also name all their parameters 'a', 'b', 'c'; that they learn to use better names is a matter of discipline, not a limitation of the tool.

- Scalar vs ranges: this one is actually the most limiting part of spreadsheets. They are great for tabular data structures (doh!), but nested structures are tricky. There are research projects to improve this (Microsoft hosts a lot of them on this line, specially around ML and Programming By Example), but in the end you need to overcome the paradigm and apply spreadsheet-like programming concepts to tools allowing hierarchical, nested structures. That lies the future of computation for the masses.
it varies from coin to coin.

in limited cases you can perform another operation which makes the preceding operation illegal.

in normal cases, not being able to cancel is the entire point of the technology.
I've no idea how complex this is to code or if it will work for you

but I'll throw the idea out to see if anyone else could improve on it etc..

initial strawman draft idea: have a front door service that just verifies your gamers (eg log on server) This will need to be protected by a Ddos but the throughput shouldn't be large. once authenticated your clients IP address is then passed to some sort of software based firewall protecting each of the main game servers

Maybe "worksheet" is a reasonable equivalent. Describes the the needed context (e.g. what's the goal, what are the principles involved), the experiment itself (setup, steps to do, what to measure, ...), ... for a predefined experiment, especially in a classroom setting.

In the lab notebook you need the details what you did and what you calculated, but don't need to copy all the context for the theory etc.

> Services handling recurring payments need to compulsorily have a cancel button.

We don't really need a law for this nor anyone needs to implement a button. Visa, Mastercard etc. can simply run a service where all the transactions that are marked as "recurring" will have an associated button "Revoke payment authorization" in their app. Once you revoke it all future recurring payments for that authorization will fail. It should be the responsibility of merchant to ensure they have authorization before providing service.

This can be sold as "Peace of Mind"^(TM) service and merchants who opt into this can can proudly show it off. Those merchants who do not have this, might have to show a warning to their customers that it is not a "Peace of Mind"^(TM) merchant.

Further I am pretty sure Mastercard, Visa can easily see which merchants are problematic. I am sure SiriusXM, La Fitness etc. will be on the top of their list and they can create a threshold beyond which those problematic merchants will have to pay a higher transaction fee in order to continue or opt into "Peace of Mind"^(TM) program.

The real issue here is the the regulation. All Fintech companies are super scared to try anything new as the various federal agencies will make an example out of anyone who builds something that disrupts the market. Entire history of financial regulation in this country is about protecting the interests of the existing players only and all the existing players are mostly indistinguishable from each other. Rarely someone like Robinhood tries to disrupt and you can see how much shit the media partners throw on RH. While many of these media partners tell you how dangerous RH is nearly no one explains why Fidelity, MorganStanley etc. have such shitty and outdated sites and UX.

My dad worked in M&A for a long time and handled the sale of a plastic molding company where the owner was getting quite old and couldn't really run the business anymore. The company was extremely well established and had a very strong and loyal customer base and ran off a single manufacturing facility in a small town out in the boonies. The owner certainly wanted a fair value for the company but he also strongly desired that the plant be kept open and employees retain their positions. Adding this sort of a restriction on a company you're selling is possible - but it is hellishly expensive, generally you're considering adding some sort of third party oversight and auditing for all HR actions and business decisions. If you buy a company under these terms you can end up utterly destroying the company if supply chains shift - the local labour pool is unsustainable or a plethora of other reasons... And almost certainly this burden is mandatorily bundled with the company - so once you've rode the company value down a bit and are looking to get out all of the buyers will know how much of an impossible situation that company is in.

At the end of the day when you sell a company you are divorcing yourself from the future direction - you might be invited to stay on as an executive - and the new owners might listen to you... or they might not - that's entirely up to them. Any promises or commitments you've made as an executive are only as good as your word - and when you sell your company your word stops having any power (because you sold that power).

I would never shame someone who wanted to keep an ideal going from making an exit they personally need to make - always prioritize your health and happiness over any venture - but when you sell you're accepting the fact that at any moment the buyer may completely reverse the direction of the company.
Well, this isn't very strong support for that position, because Ethereum doesn't support floating point, and yet here we are.
In normal contracting the paper is the source code and you need to find some real live people to be the compiler.

Ultimately you always can fall back on the court or arbitrator as the ultimate compiler and interpreter. So, different compilers maybe for smart contracts? ....
To those claiming that this is an example of crypto being a scam / useless / unsafe:

I'd point out that if this is a case of incorrect data entry, similar cases happen in traditional finance with some regularity, and in the majority of those cases (e.g. someone sends a large amount to the incorrect bank account), there is no legal recourse to recover those funds and companies resort to asking nicely for the money back (usually it works).
I used a reMarkable 1 for my stint in grad school and it was invaluable. A PDF reader that wasn't hard on the eyes. I also really appreciated reMarkable's syncing software that let me see the notes I made on a laptop without the lag of eink.

That said, it seems clear that the reMarkable team is not focused on the "taking notes on PDFs" use case. It works pretty well just because reMarkable is a good reading and handwriting platform, but it could be a lot better.

I know A is a tongue-in-cheek, but I think you underestimate human's ability to apply things by learning from good learning materials.

B and C are a single thing, and unfortunately, C does not happen, which is why any particular methodology gets a bad rep. And it's obviously already happening with DDD (judging by the polarized sentiments around here).

And finally, while I do believe abstraction is the ultimate tool of the human mind (and mathematics is the purest form of abstraction we are capable of), I do not think it suits all brains equally, and not everybody will be equally capable of ever getting the right understanding. Basically, your architecture can be _too smart_ if you are looking to hire actual, real-world developers and software engineers, and have them be efficient.
> Whether it was hysteria or not, the fact was that an awful lot of US teachers were ready to quit last year, if they couldn't teach remotely or in an environment with masking + distancing + quarantine-after-exposure.

Right, and this mindset simply doesn't exist in Sweden and many other parts of Europe.

This fear doesn't exist there.

The average American is horribly misinformed about the actual risks of covid, many young healthy Americans still believe the unvaccinated risk of death is about 10% for them, they're off in their estimate by four magnitudes. It's absolutely unbelievable how misinformed they are, and how they're allowed to perpetuate this unfounded hysteria unopposed.

I haven't seen similar surveys for Sweden or other European countries, but from talking to my friends and family, it's clear that their risk estimates are much more in line with actual reality. And consequently, their fear level is much more proportional and rational than that of the average American.
So all companies will automatically include the float library and thus nothing will change
