Our modern economy pushes people to appear as "experts" for the purpose of their career, personal brand, and earnings. If someone poses as smart/an expert/well-crafted or well-filtered it's because they are playing the career game, or they look at others playing the career game around them and guess that they are supposed to act like that. Real intelligence is playful, open, curious and comes across as ridiculous most of the time.
It’s actually just an icy fractal aggregate ejected from a protoplanetary disk and was heard because swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the sound from Venus that caused the damage to those involved.
Another implementation of paradoxical compression, which, applied recursively also allows for infinite compression (ie. down to 0 byte) of any file:

Of course, there's a catch.
Science is not a new religion. It never has claimed to be. It is a way of thinking different from thinking in terms of a real world and a "not real" world.
Unrelated, but kudos on the lite.cnn.com url. I had no idea that existed, but it lives up to its name.
It is in the ability to predict novel situations that understanding is tested.
I am okay with the level of abstraction available in production code. Where it gets ridiculous is the tests. Unit testing the simplest, most obvious Go code is a huge chore. Each error-returning function call costs 15 seconds to type but 15 minutes to work into the tests.
Can you enumerate other key industries?

Is there any way we can build them domestically again?
I don't think anyone 80 years ago could have imagined that the computer games we have today would ever exist. Other things we did was science fiction long before we did it, like flying, self moving wagons, going to the moon, curing diseases, eliminating famine etc, but modern computer games wasn't even imaginable.
> Doesn't matter that everything is statically linked - if there's a vulnerability in libpng you can still easily update dependencies. Just uses more network / disk space.

It's not that simple

* Someone, somewhere - probably distro volunteers - have to manage this process of rebuilding dozens, hundreds, or thousands of packages, and knowing which packages need to be updated to begin with. The amount of work required from distros (again, mostly volunteers) would be an order of magnitude greater even if the process was automated.

* Likewise, the amount of resources needed to rebuild all of those packages, and distribute them, would be orders of magnitude greater.

* The amount of extra work (both for humans and computers) required would delay the rollout of patches.

* And in the real world, a lot of users don't have limitless network bandwidth and disk space.

* And auditing systems for security vulnerabilities would be geometrically more difficult. Now you need to track a recursive bill of materials for every package on the system.

If there's a security bug in libc or something along those lines - which are fairly common- distros would need to rebuild practically every package in the OS. It's all well and good to talk about how it would be no big deal but I think if it was ever actually implemented no user would accept that trade-off.
The windows version, DLL Hell, is well known to non programmers.
How is it not more accessible? To open a bank account in the United States, you have to provide an absurd amount of identification and contact information. This usually includes:

>Your name & date-of-birth

>Your social security number

>Your driver's license and/or passport

>A video selfie for some online banks

>Your street address

>Your email address

>Your phone number

Some of those items can be difficult acquire and maintain, especially if you're starting from nothing. Additionally, many banks require a deposit, and most if not all online banks won't accept it in cash. Most online banks now also require a closed-source app that will, on Android, most likely also require Google SafetyNet, excluding many custom rom users. The street address requirement is a burden on those who live nomadic lifestyles, as you cannot (legally, iirc) use a virtual mailbox, and you have to depend on friends or family to receive any mail they send you.

I attempted to open an account at Ally last month and they denied me because they couldn't verify my identity, even though I'd accurately provided everything they asked me for. I assume it's because I'm not in the ChexSystems database or have no credit history. On the other hand, I can get an open-source bitcoin wallet on my PinePhone and just use it.

Abolish Silicon Valley: tech's problems can’t be solved by half measures
A relation can be a graph, but a graph need not be relational from my understanding. It has something to do with the higher mathematical what'sit's I haven't quite read up enough on but it's on my to-do list.
Sure, but it’s also very damning to discussion. What if you are 45. As a woman, you’ve already had all the kids that you are likely to have. If you already used painkillers in the 2000s, you are now forever “unqualified” to speak despite your regrets.

And on the other end, people who haven’t given birth yet are disqualified for speaking about thing they might actually do. How can one make up their mind, and drum up community support without talking about the issue?
I care far more about about bundled
vs unbundled than dynamic vs static.

I am passionately in-favor of bundled. Unbundled distribution is what has led to software being so outrageously impossible to execute that the only sane path to distribution is to create a bundled docker image. https://xkcd.com/1987/
You find yourself getting enough use out of it? I'm concerned I'd buy it and it would be fun for a bit and then sit collecting dust.
Thanks, nice to hear!

With triples you need to reify hyper edges into nodes (a relation is just a hyper edge). This can lead to pretty awkward models, for example for temporal data. Most graph databases (eg Neo4J) have the same limitation and as a result struggle with temporal data or other higher-dimensional data.

We prefer to support general relations (hyper edges) and face the complications of query planning. We really want a general relational system that decouples the complications in query processing from the way you need to model your data and write your queries

This gets particularly important for what we do besides graphs: we also aim to support machine learning workloads (we have some references to papers on our website).

We still do automatic index selection, but indeed it is important that you do not create too many of these unnecessarily if you relations with arity bigger than triples.
> Yeah, there are reasons to use dynamic linking, but I'm still not sure why dynamic linking gives you better profiling and tracing.

It's not so much that the tracing becomes better, but that it becomes feasible at all. Two specific situations come to mind, both MPI-adjacent. (1) Running a PMPI-based tool on code you can't recompile yourself (e.g., you need a Q clearance to see the source, but not to actually execute it--weird I know, but not that uncommon in the DOE labs.); and (2) running multiple PMPI-based tools simultaneously which are composed at runtime via PnMPI.
It depends on the material the wire is made of and the way it's coupled to the ear piece. Try braided ones, for example. I've had a pair with "anti-tangle" plastic wire that transmitted remarkably little movement noise. Fixing the wire to the clothing, with a clip at shoulder height, also helps reducing vibratons.
What you're talking about is very closely related to the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect.

Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

Any resident Germans may feel free to correct me, but it's my understanding that, in Germany, any rust at all on a vehicle will disqualify the vehicle during annual safety inspection. This is why German cars are typically known for having the longest last paint jobs.
I have Air Pods Pro and I bought an aftermarket silicone ear tip that was slightly smaller than Apple's small. The damn things still fall out, albeit after a longer time. They are always uncomfortable and I am constantly having to shove them in. I tried foam and they didn't fit either. I must have freakishly small ear canals. I wish I could find something that works for me. The article linked in the original article (https://www.soundguys.com/finding-ear-tips-17148/) didn't talk about this problem.
Not only that, but the Prius was practical. Most of the EVs on the market are not. Their range alone makes them a non-starter for most people.

The Prius is a pinnacle of practicality. Great gas mileage, reliable as hell, cheap to repair, and it’s a hatchback.

Here is most of the relevant text from TFA:

> Ulrich Drepper claims, rightly, that you only need to update a shared library to apply security fixes to all executables that rely on that library.

> This is a good thing! It is also a good vision.

> Unfortunately, it is only a vision because it’s not the whole story.

> As of yet, there is no way to automatically determine if the ABI or API of a shared library changed between updates. This is called DLL Hell.

The final two words are a link to the wikipedia page on "DLL Hell". The final sentence of the intro section there states:

> DLL Hell is the Windows ecosystem-specific form of the general concept dependency hell.

That is, TFA defines "DLL Hell" using a wikipedia page that explicitly states that it is a Windows-specific version of a more general problem.

Drepper's article from 2006 fully tackles the general problem, albeit without (as the TFA puts it): "a way to automatically determine if the ABI or API of a shared library changed between updates." Drepper's primary suggestion there is a naming/versioning scheme which describes specifically whether the ABI/API has changed in ways that matter for shared linkage. It's not automatic - that part is true. But is is a solution, widely used in Linux and *nix more broadly.

Did Drepper address the Windows specific parts of "DLL Hell". He did not, but that's because "DLL Hell" is Windows specific (as other comments here fully clarify), and he was not writing about how to fix the full scope of that particular nightmare. He likely understood "DLL Hell" as well as anyone, nevertheless.
There are few. One is Cryptoprevent, the free version is what I've been using. It blocks rather than detect encryption which some other apps do.

That depends on what you define as smart. I see that someone being intelligent goes beyond knowledge and rhetoric. So, I tend to believe that you can only 'truly' judge how smart someone is by being together involved in a topic that you two are not experts on. And this goes beyond pure logical reason, but also how it can connect things to reality and generate useful insights.
Isn't it obvious? Or do you suggest that end users should be responsible for checking and patching every package on their system? Given that Red Hat has a large department just to do that for RHEL, I can't imagine where end users would begin.

Not just movies. It looks like most computer games, too, involve fighting and killing. I think there is something there that speaks to human nature.
I would argue that meritocracy in the workplace doesn't lead to happiness. Job security does however. There are still aspects of meritocracy but someone performing at 2x of their peer will be er get double the pay, and that's okay. The division that would result from that situation leads to unhappiness and therefore lower productivity. Pay tends to only double for every order of magnitude of increase in impact instead.

To be clear I wasn’t bringing up Hollywood to get celebrities, I was just thinking higher production value public information spots. I don’t think there would be any added particular pushback there - no one rejects high production value Marvel movies just because they from Hollywood.
Isn't this feature valuable? as I see it it would allow new comers to build trust in a community first.

I'm talking 16:9, I was watching a fairly recent south park (from about 2015) on an iphone12 mini, there are two options that double tapping toggles between, one is the original 16:9, the other zooms in so it's full width (including the notch), so 19.5:9. In other words it's taking a 1920x1080 image and only showing 886 lines, dropping 97 lines from the top and bottom.
The difference in formula I find interesting. I think either having everyone vote however uninformed or just have a tiny group of stake holders are equally extreme solutions.

I can dream right? Imagine this: Rather than a basic income or a salary in fiat issue some kind of shares to the employees/citizens. You need 100 to get a full vote (50 for half etc) and you get dividend for each share.

If the value of the share declines (as we keep issuing new ones) the amount issued and the amount needed for a full vote are gradually increased and the dividend decreases.

Then, rather than a single vote for someone you also get a single vote against someone so that popularity alone doesn't win elections.

Have a very simple certificate that one must obtain in order to vote that teaches the absolute bare minimum about each candidate.

Finally, lets no do single elections but allow people to change their vote whenever they like with a higher amount of votes required for getting in than for getting out.

Stick your forefinger in your ear, well enough to form a bit of a seal. Then move your finger around a little bit. That causes a ton of rumbling/thumping noise as the air in the ear canal moves much more dramatically than it does when encountering sound waves in open air.

The same effect happens when you jostle a sealed in-ear monitor. I don't doubt that you are not perceiving this rumble, but my explanation is that your brain is filtering it out.

EDIT: It occurs to me now that if you listen at consistently high volume (which many in-ear headphone users do), jostling rumble will be relatively lower.
I develop doubts when it comes to journalism, especially when it is presented from a point of authority and sold as truth. I don't with individuals, because all of us a prone to use expertise in field A to judge field B. Doing so constantly, and ignoring people knowing more than you is what makes you a fool.
I was talking about this with my partner and that was her first response. Clearly enhanced wage packages are something that only work for C suite 'employees'

Taking into account the technological evolution of the last decades and the proliferation of information systems in society, today we see the vast majority of services provided by companies and institutions as digital services. Industry 4.0 is the fourth industrial revolution where technologies and automation are asserting themselves as major changes.
I usually discern rational approach by the merit of the argument not because "someone wrote it on HN". If there is no argument but instead just blanket statements and negative remarks then I can somewhat safely assume that some thought process must've failed that person at some point - or at least I can gain no direct insight from it.
I'm not really a crypto evangelist nor anyone involved in it technically (at the moment) but I do know enough to at least somewhat understand the scope of the Idea - which is enough to never dismiss the whole thing based on some perceived flaw of some implementation.
It's slightly possible though, that HN commenters aren't approaching the topic of crypto significantly differently than other ones - but instead I just notice irrational comments more in relation to this subject - perhaps even because I know enough to recognize them easily. But it's very unlikely, even if true, that this would explain the whole thing away.
If ransomware gangs are seen as a potential threat to national security, wouldn't preemptive action against these groups fall under the claimed remit of the NSA or CIA?

Lots of people struggle to use Excel at all beyond simple non-relational lists. And even then they do tons of raw copying and manual work to generate the data they need. I would not say that Excel’s prevalence is somehow a sign that tables are natural to people.
Thank you for doing this. I was given photoshops for a hobby site I maintained and IE6 was always foiling my plants. I was working as a contractor for Tribune Interactive in the fall of 2009 and I heard stories about how the senior front end developer almost got in a screaming match with high level execs demanding they upgrade their browsers.

Although on second thought... I guess it depends on what's your commenting on and the stance of those you're interacting with.
So it can be a double edged sword.
Back in the 80s, a private pilot made the news by landing his plane on 280 (there was less traffic then, and it wasn't rush hour). His plane's engine had thrown a rod and he couldn't make it back to Palo Alto Airport. No one was hurt.

Coincidentally, I met him later and he talked about his experience with the journalists. He was wise to their laziness, and he made them all read their notes back so he could be sure they got it right.

I think in principle the reporters know they should be careful what they write, but in practice... deadlines, you know.

Show HN: Task Life Cycle (TLC)
This is a wonderful idea. My father is almost 70, but with his medical conditions every year I wonder if it will be his last.
The smartest people I know are generally smart no matter what field you put them in. But everyone has blind spots/biases.

I do know a couple of very successful people who aren't that smart but are good at selling themselves/their ideas. Some people look down on this, but it is a good skill to have.

HN has a problem where the people who comment are often not that knowledgable but can sound like they know what they're talking about. This is particularly bad in posts asking for advice. Allowing downvoting (HN didn't always have it IIRC) actually makes this problem worse. Also for some emotionally charged topics people will downvote true things that make them feel bad.
Listening to people talk about things I know a lot about teaches me to be quite about things I’m not an expert it.
Reminds me of abduco + dvtm, which was pretty bananas to use, but felt _right_ and very unixy.

If you think something is probably true, or close enough, and you present it as a fact you might be seen as an expert.

If you qualify it, such as "as I understand it ...", you will not.

I think the latter is seen in our age as a sign of weakness, since you are not expected to have a sense of shame if you are proved wrong. Sadly.

You cannot just get "cinematic" frames by using every fifth frame. The shutter speed at 120 fps is much higher than shooting film at 24 fps hence a lot less motion blur that is part of the "cinematic look".
I think it's important to differentiate between "smart" and "knowledgable".

I have a new coworker who isn't very knowledgable, but she's able to understand new topics quickly, once I've explained them. She's often nervous about her lack of knowledge—rightly so, in all honesty—but I also think she's exceptionally smart. Certainly more than she realizes.
Sorry, not answering your question, but commenting on the dog aliens. I agree that the two stories felt quite disconnected. What was interesting about the dog-like aliens though was his representation of a telepathic hive-mind. Unfortunately, your general argument about those sections still stands though. I was actually even reminded of Star Wars: Ewok Adventure which arguably is worse than being reminded of GoT.
His Twitter account disappearing had such a drastically positive impact on my day-to-day well being.

Not having to hear the news constantly discuss every.little.inane.thing he said... what a relief!

His comments have no place being part of our public discourse, and every time the media commented on them it gave them weight they didn't deserve.
I think the "effect" is simple statistics. If you know more about a subject than most people, fewer people will impress you with their knowledge when talking about that subject - this is fairly definitional (with a little dithering about "most" and means and medians.) Additionally, someone who is very good in a lot of subjects could be expected to be worse in a lot of other, unrelated subjects (assuming a limited budget of study and attention.)

I think this is only shocking to people who believe in a general g that simultaneously makes people smart in everything. There isn't a person alive that doesn't know enough facts that I don't know to take the rest of my life to enumerate, even if it has to get down to the level of knowing that their grandmother likes raisins in their oatmeal.

The closest we have to g is reason, and people whose reason is rigorous have rigorous reason everywhere that they aren't being willfully ignorant (like declaring that normal reasoning doesn't apply when it comes to X.) I'm not ever disappointed in the intelligence of people I know with good reasoning skills, unless you count groaning when I realize how long it's going to take to get them to speed on something I have a lot of knowledge about.
How did you break them?
