Looks interesting. Or at least one step closer to improving access to tooling.

I can totally see coin base becoming the de facto platform for this sort of stuff. Not ideal centralisation wise but oh well
A great deal has been spent on emergency expansion. Perhaps not enough. Though as I understand it the greatest barrier especially at this point is not physical ward space, or equipment, but personnel. How quickly can we train a nurse or medic?
That seems a bit of a stretch, honestly

Is there a way to quantify the good things police did? Or does anybody (journalists) even care?

They might claim they do, on their paperwork, website, etc. But what is the reality when they're actually in the air? Do you think stewardesses on these private jets are really in the habit of making demands of their multimillionaire customers? Somehow I doubt it.
You're going to be severely constrained by the fact that idiomatic clojure code uses immutable data structures which cannot theoretically be as fast as mutable ones in sbcl. Even with transience, the Clojure hash map trie is an order of magnitude slower than sbcl's hash table.

Great! Sounds like she understands the law and has a soul.
Isn't it ironic to use a REST API to send BTC vs say using what any cryptocurrency is intended for? To use their native APIs to transfer value. The aim of decentralization is to eliminate that third party but this puts it back. We've come full circle.
Dysfunctional organizations try to solve things by creating a new rule every time something happens that some incomptent with enough power to make a rule doesn't like. You just end up with a pile of suffocating policy haphazardly put together by the most neurotic.
Some commenters are upset but can't quite express why. I'll explain. The article's title is "Bracket pair colorization 10,000x faster", which implies that the previous implementation was using a slow algorithmic approach and someone made it 10k faster. Sure, the article explains the situation in detail, but the way it's laid out kinda screams (at least to me and some other people) "look at me, I'm so good that I improved the original implementation 10k times", when in reality the 10k speedup has nothing to do with algorithms but with the extension API. A more modest and fair approach would have been to name the article "Bracket pair colourization is now in core VS Code" or similar, and leave the 10k speedup as a footnote, rather than having the entire article revolve around it. It's just a matter of etiquette - it's not a situation where boasting is justified.
This also bit me. I thought I was in the clear not using anything with outdated CA keystores. Turns out that some TLS implementations don't trust the connection if the server provides an expired CA in the certificate chain.

This includes the Nextcloud client for Windows and the DNS over TLS implementation in Android 11.

Adding the argument --preferred-chain "ISRG Root X1" to certbot fixes this by not chaining the expired CA X3...

No, that doesn't logically follow.

They seem to going after the same demographics which is always a tough battle.

I hope clubhouse can find a niche that they can own. It's always tough seeing hard working founders get copied then killed by big tech.
> Presumably you had some kind of instrumentation to let you know if a stray syscall had slipped in?

Don't know if you can call it instrumentation... I wrote an extremely hacky patch for the kernel to detect when any piece of kernel is running on anything than core 0 after certain flag was set.

Remember, it is not just syscalls. Even something as simple as accessing memory can cause switch to kernel to resolve TLB entry if you don't set up your memory correctly to prevent this from happening.

Yeah... I know. Now a bunch of people will come and explain how this could be done the right way. I just didn't care at the time to invest more time than necessary to get this right.

The SPARK example I found uses singly-linked lists and says doubly-linked lists and graphs with cycles are not supported:

Yes, I could and should have been more explicit when I spoke of 'linked lists' without further qualification. While talking about these languages designed to eliminate all ambiguity I would do well to be unambiguous. :-)

But does anyone take the position that a smart contract is a binding contract? I believe even Nick Szabo regrets coining the term since its just a program that can transfer value so including it term “contract” is misleading.
> One might argue that if it is the central bank, or the goverment, that underwrites all the risk

There are basically three groups of people that can shoulder the risk - the bank owners, the government, and people with money in the bank. Ordinarily it's the bank owners that shoulder the risk, because the government requires them to keep a buffer of "reserves" that get eaten through when loans aren't repaid. The government does insure the depositors if the shareholders lose all their money.

You could of course remove those regulations but it seems like you'd still have a moral hazard problem, since the losses of excessive risk-taking still aren't borne by those taking the risks (since they'll be passed to the depositors). Some of these issues seem intrinsic to banking where you're taking risks with other peoples' money almost by definition.
This appears to be only managed blockchain infrastructure, not all of the other concerns that emerge when actually building an application on top of such a thing.
Possession of a deed is not legally binding — if someone robbed your house and took your deed, clearly they don’t own your house.

The deed is only a signifier of ownership, nothing more. If you can prove in court that the possession of the deed itself was improperly transferred, the state will return the deed to the rightful owner. Or annul the old deed and create a new one. (At least in the US.)
OZY raised $35M in 2019, totalling $70M in total funding at that point.

In April 2020 the total raised amount grew to $83M.

The company supposedly made $50M of revenue in 2020 and claimed to be profitable.

So from here, why did they try to raise more? Probably because the revenues and profit were not real.

In February 2021 the company tried to defraud Goldman Sachs of $40M.

I've read from another source that OZY was able to raise even more money 2 months after having failed to defraud Goldman Sachs. The total amount of money raised could thus be in the 100 millions.

Have you seen the hoops people with work visas have to jump through just to be able to cross state lines?

It's... really not as much of a stretch as you may think.
the actual question is whether the person making the choice is up to the task of measuring/proving that their manual caching is optimal for their use case. A lot of the time the answer is simply "no". For example, the people who say "just buy enough RAM and turn virtual memory off" for the most part do not understand the implications of what they are talking about.
I completely agree they would try and maximize revenue by selling as close to the correct amount of tickets as possible.

It’s just the math works out so on the margin having even slightly better than a 1 in 4 chance of selling at 4x the prices is a net gain. Suppose their reserving 50 seats and have a 26% chance of selling all 50, only a 50% chance of selling 20 or more.

That means on 1/2 of flights their intentionally flying with 30 or more empty seats, but reserving even 49 seats rather than 50 loses them money.
If the instrument is tuned in fifths then, indeed, a diatonic scale pattern that proceeds perpendicularly across the finger board at the same position has four notes on each string.

However, these four notes are sometimes spaced differently: different patterns of tones and semitones.

When an instruent is tuned in fourths, scales use three notes. There are ways to conform to many of the string-to-string pattern variations by leaving out fingers:

a - b c' # index ring pinky
e f - g # index middle pinky
- c - d

It seems that the fifths tuning is quite tyrannical in this regard.

Now when it comes to the major scale, that scale is actually a stack of two identical tetrachords, which are a fifth apart. These tetrachords have identical fingerings:

# tuning in fifths now:

g - a - b c
c - d - e f

So now if you have your fingers spread out in the right way to play the C-F tetrachord, all you have to do is preserve that when going to the next string.

I suspect violinists must be exploiting this sort of relationship; favoring fingerings that show tetrachord symmetries.

The Dorian mode (D to D mode of C major) also has two identical, stacked tetrachords, so if we slide one position down that pattern, we are still good:

g - a - b c - d
c - d - e f - g
[ Dorian box ]
[ Ionian box ]

But, having observed that, these fingering patterns are not easy even in isolation, regardless of whether there is a change in the pattern going to another string.
I think the government policies for COVID which were supposed to help the poor backfired and made things worse. Those that didn't invest, got shafted as commodities are becoming more expensive but it won't be perfectly clear until the short-term shortage fog has receded.

Abbot (YCS21) | https://ab.bot | REMOTE | Full Time | Core Developer

Abbot is a programmable bot that turns team chat into a shared command center. We handle all the boilerplate of building and running these commands so that teams can focus on shipping faster.

We are a small team of former GitHubbers who got together because we saw the power of ChatOps and wanted to make it dead simple for everyone to use (see our Launch HN here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27974077)

We are hiring a developer to work on core product with us. We use .NET Core, JavaScript, Python, and a bunch of other fun stuff.

Some of the interesting projects you would work on if you were here:

* Building out a hybrid-prem solution for enterprises.
* Implementing a more composable approach to running bot skill functionality.
* Supporting more programming languages like Go, Ruby, or WebAssembly.
* Supporting more chat platforms.
* Support local editing of skills in the editor/IDE of people's choice.

We have a full job posting up here: https://www.aseriousbusiness.com/jobs/dotnet-developer/ (we're technically "A Serious Business, Inc.").

If you're interested, please send me an email or follow the instructions in the job posting above.
Why did it not catch on, though?

Python was already well known as a "scripting" and server-side web development language in the early 2000s, but it's commonly mentioned that it really exploded in the 2010s, where it was the implementation language for several scientific packages, most notably the machine learning eco system.

It seems that the language really found a local optimum that adheres to many different people across disciplines.
Got it. That's rather lovely.
That's a valid way to use `find_if`, although you wrote `find_if(i, ` where you meant `i = find_if(`. But I don't think "the whole point" of `find_if` is "to find every element in the list which [fulfills the predicate]". §10 of the STL paper (pp. 41–55) doesn't mention this as a goal of `find_if`, and the result of using `find_if` that way isn't composable with other STL algorithms; for example, you can't use `equal` to compare two such "lists" of matching elements or `unique_copy` to eliminate adjacent duplicates from one of them.

If the STL contained something whose "whole point" was "to find every element in the list" which fulfilled the predicate, it would be an iterator adaptor, like Python 2's `itertools.ifilter`, Python 3's `filter`, Boost's `filter_adaptor`, or C++20's `std::ranges::filter_view`.

The closest thing in the STL is `copy_if`, which is happy to take an output iterator for its destination parameter, for example a `back_insert_iterator`.
Well to be fair a private jet flight is 2K to 10K per flight hour to use, so I think they're entitled to somewhat higher expectations than the average flier.

> The FDA isn't immune to the same kind of corruption/conflicts of interest that impacts other federal agencies.

Do you think there's only one organization in the world that could possibly study these things?
> You can avoid that with precheck.

Precheck is an extremely weird product. If the TSA checks actually had any safety impact, trying to bribe your way around them should be the biggest red flag there is. Instead, precheck is expressly allowed and actively advertised. Precheck is nothing more than the TSA letting you pay your way out of a problem that it created.
Chicken and Egg Problem (2000)
That has to be one of the more civil examples of online discourse I’ve ever seen.
Don't see how that's relevant to the thread at hand. The problem here is that the Telco has an existing paying customer for a number, and has systems that allow other malicious actors to take over that number instead. It's not about verifying the absolute identity of the account owner, they only need to verify that the new SIM using a number has permission from the person who rightfully owns the account. In many cases, this fraud is being committed by employees of the carrier (e.g. at it's retail locations). That means the carrier clearly doesn't have adequate controls to prevent abuse.
I purchased my Commodore 1541 floppy drive at Kmart which I think is still barely in business. The more commonly known equivalent today would be Walmart. In other words they were common enough to be stocked at low end discount department stores.

You can tell the difference between regions by watching retro computing YouTube channels. Those with North American creators generally use floppy drives or emulators with their retro equipment. European/UK creators are more likely to use tape or tape emulators and if they use floppies reference that they would have never been able to do so back in the day.
I think a lot of people vote for themes based on well their existing projects can be modified to fit the theme.
It's not about "lower".

We can, and do, make massive , non-backwards-compatible changes in layers 1 and 2 every few years and no one is the wiser. Layer 3 is special. It makes that flexibility in all the other layers possible, but keeps none for itself.

>This is definitely a real problem. It applies on private jets in most cases too, though.

I just flew on a private jet for the first time in August. All the paperwork and whatnot said masks were required but we never wore one from the second we walked out onto the tarmac. Nobody batted an eye. Even the pilots had theirs down below the chin while flying. I asked and they said 80%+ of their customers did not want to wear a mask, so they didn't push the topic.
They were probably faced with decision: Release now and improve over time, or don't release now. We don't live in the time of option B. Option B is the path of ruin.
Probably unpopular opinion, but I think the Merck's study[0] data is underwhelming. Only 202 patients without any actual clinical data. Does it prevent hospitalization? Intubations? Lessen severity of illness? All unanswered (study probably underpowered to detect difference). All they told us that it clears the virus by day 5 which is a good start, but perhaps not enough for FDA approval.

Are they in that position because they are white, or are they in that position because they were born in privileged families? My country has had predominantly white, male Prime Ministers. What's even more remarkable is that every single one of them over the past 20 years went to highly exclusive private schools. The sort of private school that costs more than a good portion of adults earn, i.e $40k per annum.

When you disparage an entire group based on skin colour and gender, you're being a racist and sexist. You're being highly offensive to the majority of white men who weren't born with silver spoons. If you look at the most successful tech founders you'll see a pattern of them being born into wealthy families with educated parents. 50 years ago, most wealthy and educated families were white, which is why you see so many of these founders today. For example:

Mark Zuckerburg - parents were a psychiatrist and dentist. They literally hired software developers (in the 1990's) to tutor him.

Bill Gates - father was a prominant laywer, mother was on executive boards. Access to computers before they were even a thing.

Sergie Brin - Father was a professor, mother a NASA researcher. Private schools.

Larry Page - Father had a computing professor, mother was a computing instructor. Private schools.

Bezos - wealthy family (Grandfather was regional director of the US Atomic Energy Commision).
