Yeah, but we're not talking about pure mathematics. We're talking about floats, and I find that it's very important to be clear about the limitations. It's easy to get some nasty bugs if you start assuming that you can cram just any int into a float.

And I have no objections to the article's description of the bool type.

Every time I've think about doing LFS, I come to the same conclusion that Arch is probably good enough to get the same hands-on understanding but without having to do the menial work.
I believe that's exactly how intelligence agencies will compel people to spy for them and betray their own nations: they make them feel smart and special for sharing information.
How did he think that conversation would go?
This really depends. There is tech debt and there is tech debt. Sometimes you've got bad code that is still well isolated so the pain and suffering it causes is understood and contained. Sometimes you've got bad code that is poorly isolated and it causes unexpected and strange problems all the time.

This code doesn't feel like the latter.
There's an intoxicating effect of just contributing to a conversation, saying something interesting to other people.

But there's also shyness and paranoia: what if whatever I say makes me look bad? What if it comes back to screw me over later?

The Internet dilutes the latter a bit because you're anonymous. But you can still get caught e.g. if someone goes through your post history and recognizes you.

Some people are very paranoid and don't like to share anything because they're afraid somehow it will affect them later. I guess on the other hand, there are people willing to share confidential information for attention without protecting themselves adequately (or at all!).
You dont get it. Leaders are people who dont get out.
I don't buy that. The kid who leaked those tank manuals is likely going to jail. Anyone with evidence of a cultured covid ancestor gets a free ticket to any academic position in the west they want. Remember that all those folks at WIV aren't cloistered prisoners of a totalitarian system, they're educated scientists in a worldwide community. Most of them probably hold degrees from western institutions. They're extremely mobile and well connected.

But tank kid is going to jail for sure.

Ask HN: Change Policy on Politics?
Hacker news is filled with political posts. These types of posts include posts on Government regulation, legal, politics, international politics, party politics, European politics, US/China relations etc. Its well within our right and within the HN policy. However I wonder if we should change that policy?

I find the community is unwelcoming to ideas other than establishment Democratic Party views, and that makes discussion particularity boring, nonconstructive, and tends toward flame war type discussion. Users that express the wrong opinion, are met with downvotes and this feels very unnecessary.

I propose either 1) ban political posts (we did this after the 2016 election for 1 week or 2) create a politics tab, whose posts are not featured, allowing users to flag posts as politics.

What do you think?

from Upton Sinclair.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upton_Sinclair
Individuals cannot press charges, only a prosecutor vested with the authority of the state may file charges. This is an extremely common misconception largely generated from popular media. Individuals can report a crime to the police, cooperate with prosecutors, and sue privately.

The most honest form of roughly "we are family" I have seen is a maintained social contract of avoiding layoffs but a relatively stagnant base salary. A trade of stability for worse rates.
An Israeli study said immunity due to infections was stronger than vaccines.

Also, the NIH reported this summer that their 2020 estimates of infection rates were completely wrong, with 5x more infected than previously thought.

Death certificates have been revised in the US back to January 2020 for corona deaths. (Some were in San Jose, so that's been in the local news.)

The above matches what we've seen in SF. Based on very low ICU usage in 2020 (10%-15% corona of total ICU bed usage in Santa Clara County hospitals, before delta), corona likely entered California in late 2019 (Calif. got 50,000 passengers per week from China before the travel halt) and circulated enough to avoid the spikes seen in NY.

None of those are features, they were desperately needed shorthands for common java idioms. This is like calling braceless if/for/while statements 'features', when they're purely syntax sugar that has fallen out of favor completely because there's been several major security vulns found in major projects due to their use and development oversight/code review failure (https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2014/02/24/anatomy-of-a-got...), to the point where most companies ban writing them.

Just off the top of my head:

* LINQ. Added to C# in 2007, Java didn't get streams until 2014.

* structs/value types, implemented in net framework and net core for 15+ years, but not present in java 17. Some oracle engineers have been working to implement them under project valhalla but it seems to be vaporware at this point after 8+ years of work.

* unsigned types, no plans to implement in java (though IIRC it was originally planned as part of valhalla)

* async/await

At the feature level Java is stuck in the mid 2000s. Nobody wants to do the actual work on keeping it competitive.
It depends on the topic of the article. If the article is some topic that’s over my head I’ll skim the comments because inevitably someone has summarized it in a way I can understand. I think that’s about the only example where I consistently read the comments and not the article. So maybe 15% of the time?

Nathan Blecharczyk, co founder of AirBNB, and once on FBI 100 wanted as a top spammer on US soil [1], also spin off AirBNB by posting unrealistically (fake) cheap rentals of beautiful apartments in places where normal rent should be 10x more. Once people reply to these offers he auto-responded that the unit has been rented, but they should be looking for another unit on AirBNB website. Super clever, super immoral, illegal?

Only about 16% of Maine has active agricultural operations. Or if you want to take out the guesswork, buy some downtown blight in some city, demolish it, vegetate the site and donate it to the municipal parks and recreation department.
It's impressive what Localstack has been able to do to keep up with AWS.

However for my own projects, we consider local development like this an anti-pattern. IaC tools like Terraform/CDK/SST make it easy to spin up environments for each developer in the cloud. This may sound crazy at first but would recommend giving it a shot.

If you're fully taking advantage of managed AWS services the best development environment is running everything in AWS. There's definitely some friction but you reduce the "was working on my machine but not in production" situations.
I guess you missed the 'new development' part of my original comment? Obviously it would be nonsensical to port a large extant codebase to a new language and tech stack if it's just being maintained.
I think finding mentors is a great idea, but I think one thing you, and the parent comment are missing is, an "elite organization" in what arena? Of what sort?

Thank you! The Bose Sounddock for iPod that I found in a recycling bin uses a dual +/- 18V power supply, and I was wondering how to power it from batteries. That link taught me that the extra voltage headroom may not be required, it might run on 12V, and it would in theory be possible to build a +/- dual voltage circuit. Now I just have to decide whether it's worth building that and learning more about power electronics, or buying a new speaker and having a somewhat safer device.
Norm had a way of telling jokes. He usually inserted himself into jokes and told them as they were stories from his life. Plus he was an expert at turning silly jokes to great ones and improvizing. For example, the Swedish-German Andy Richter joke[1] where you can see the moment he decided to seize an opportunity to turn something not-funny into funny. I'll miss his way of storytelling and delivery.

Postmaterialism
I know (from a forum) a guy who is VERY paranoid.

His ideas are strange.

His conversational style is combative.

He published a book. He used his forum nick as the author name.

He won't let anybody even know his age. Forget occupation or nation.

Par. A. Noid.
for starters, there's this for IPOs (or lack of IPOs)

https://steveblank.com/2019/04/10/startup-stock-options-why-...

also, anecdotal, I've seen it happen. I was at a recent startup that got bought. I was employee 15. Somehow, the ISOs got set to $0 worth but the founders made out like bandits with their preferred stock.
Right, no doubt that some customers required fully packaged solutions.

I guess it's generally hard to find the right balance, if you're catering to customers of different level of technical expertise/maturity.

That story is wild!

First: this leaker simply mailed a packet to a random foreign government address which allowed usps to flag it?! Otherwise seems pretty shot in the dark they found it. 1234 Russia KGB, Russia ;)

Second: the FBI either got the cooperation of said unknown country, or was able to somehow make a signal looking like it originated from their embassy (maybe as comical as we'll fly our countries flag, which happens to always be flying). Maybe it's an ally?

Third: this person had a good amount of access? It sounds like schematics/info on the small nuclear reactors in the subs? Maybe that's not super valuable info?

So much I want to know! Would make a good dramedy someday if it's as dumb as it sounds.
The theory on this is correct, but the ICL7660 is not designed to provide the kind of current you'd need to run a 12W audio amplifier. It maxes out around 50mA - see figure 7 of the datasheet[1]. 50mA*17v = only 0.85W.

Because I can't see the datasheet of the audio amplifier, it may be wired in a way that it doesn't use significant current from this supply (for example, in the pre-amp part of the circuit). But then we wouldn't be getting the advantage of 17v supply to make it louder than other games.

When overloaded, simple switching power supplies like this lose their regulation. In this case, the switcher operates at 10kHZ, so it might introduce a high-pitched sound to the output.

You can probably get away with connecting the -5v input to GND to make the circuit run at 12v instead of 17v. Or, look for a more capable negative power supply.

When I was a teen, I worked for a maintenance company. My job was to clean the floors after the mall was closed.

It was an 8 hour per night solo job. A friend of mine was crashing on my couch, so I got him to pay his way by helping me out. We managed to get so efficient it took only around 2-3 hours, and things were spotless. We spent the rest of the night smoking like chimneys and playing games on a portable TRS-80 computer in the food court. Good times!
He did not just stumble onto two correct primes in the 17th century by chance.

M31 you can verify by hand, which really leaves us with one out of four. It's entirely possible he got one right by chance. It probably wasn't strictly by chance, very likely convinced himself of some pattern that doesn't really hold. There are plenty of neat-looking lines in, say, an Ulam spiral but those don't generate primes either.

Strangely my last moment of shock is not trying bare metal linux, beneater 6502, z80 Pcm not to mention Hercules ibm …etc as there are still too many components. As said of it does not work not sure I know how to try. Even fixing grub2 does not help.

But recently I found I am using boot camp and that blow hot air around you forced me to find a solution. On macOS side I pay for a patch … totally expect to pay but then it is just one setting (no 100% cpu max 99%, but not help much) and then a setting patch on not using turbo. That is it. It is a shock. Can you just manipulate all these without programming? And without payment? Just tinker a bit and take the risk to do a windows registry setting …

As open source has indicated, you can learn from both and try to mix them. And as free as liberty, non free beer can still carry some message.

It's gone from their store page, but you can find listings on Ebay and Amazon, as well as info on their help page [0]. As far as I can tell it was just sold as "Kano Kit" with a raspberry pi, bluetooth keyboard. (Kano Kit Touch seems to be another one they sell, with a touch screen; then there's the laptop they sell nowadays)

Not quite sure why it's gone from their homepage, seems to be discontinued as per B&H listing [1].

[0]: https://help.kano.me/hc/en-us

However, I recommend simply buying a generic Raspberry Pi kit (usb power supply, kb+mouse, HDMI cable, case, etc) and just flashing Kano OS onto it. It's essentially the same experience.

FYI: for a small percentage of participants, the only reason to compete is to win.

Most of the stars you've heard of (Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan come to mind) simply wouldn't play if they couldn't win. Tiger actually said that in an interview, and Michael's coach said the need to win was the secret to his success.

So the reasons behind PEDs are:

1) to maintain competitiveness with people on them

2) to ensure wins if that's the reason you're there.
I think this is categorically different. What you are talking about is a bias to work on things that are measurable followed by goodharts law; the linked paper is more like "if you throw money at a problem and increase participation in the field it becomes more difficult to separate wheat from chaff due to sheer volume".
Lack of evidence is not the issue. A more fruitful line of questioning is starting with "What function do courts server and for whom?"
I would assume protein synthesis from what I've read?

The research on creatine does seem like it's not total BS in some specific cases. For instance I'm pescatarian and it seems like that I might get an actual benefit with lower non-meat creatinine. At first I definitely felt what was probably psychosomatic but I can't tell if it's helping still.
Considered why there's no such serious issue with consumer goods in the EU...and remembered the woes when the EU stepped in and said how the truck drivers are going to be paid (roughly - if delivering to another country, at least equal than local drivers!) and how many hours they could work. And of course everybody hated these evil socialist bureaucrats. But now we don't have a shortage of drivers because the system wasn't optimized out to the brink.

No idea if it's going to save us long term, or if there aren't other factors....just an idle thought.
Paywalled. Anyway, that's like saying victims of theft at gunpoint overwhelmingly comply with the thief. That's a true statement, most people just hand over their money. Obviously coercion will "work" to a great extent, but that doesn't mean it was right. It will certainly have devastating consequences in terms of trusting the institutions moving forward.

> Is this a typo - should this say "to the side that had +5V before?" (ie change minus to plus)?

Yes.

> I'm struggling to understand the design, but I think it's charging a capacitor with +5V, changing the charging side to ground, discharging the capacitor through what used to be the input (you can tell I'm not an electrical engineer, I suspect these terms are very faulty) and causing a -5V flow that way.

That's correct enough. It's all a matter of perspective. I'd probably say you discharge it through what used to be ground, though as the article notes technically ground is the source of electrons - but we usually talk about holes and positive (conventional) current.

Imagine measuring the voltage on a AA battery: 1.5V. Then you flip it around and measure again: -1.5V. Voltage is all relative to where you measure, usually ground. It's a tricky concept.
There is no way work/responsibility grows exponentially as headcount increases. Walmart has 2.2 MILLION employees. I doubt Doug McMillon works exponentially harder than a CEO with 1000 employees.

Sure. I work in game dev, we work with highly NDAd stuff that a lot of people would love to know about(things like console devkits way before anything about the hardware is made public, or just details on unannounced games). The temptation to "be the hero" as you said is always there but it would literally cost you your job and most likely your entire career as I can't imagine you'd ever find employment after doing such a thing. It's really hard to resist when you read comments and someone says "oh I bet Sony would never do X in their next console" and you actually know the truth but can't say.
Yeah pagination and back button are so broken they must believe those are features and not bugs.
I think that everything of import to many people ends up being politics.

Rather than banning or relegating politics, I would prefer a policy that all politics must be directly and specifically related to a technical or startup topic. So, for example, a submission about a reduction in H1B visas would be allowable, but a submission about UK VAT or US income tax would not be -- even though one could argue that many HN members are affected by VAT or income tax, so is everyone else in those countries.

In the end, though, everything interesting will be of interest to some hackish minds. I think it's reasonable to argue that a serious UBI would result in a larger number of startups, but not everyone would agree that this is a suitably specific application.
I wonder how much you could find by correlating subjects and way of writing. Not so many people hide their writing style as well.

Hacking Task Manager on 1024 Cores
I don't see how this has anything to do with a monolith (in the sense of the monolith vs. microservices approaches).

It's not really front page material either (IMO), it's just a basic article about placing frontend and backend code in the same repo and making a script to run both locally.

It doesn't even tackle any interesting problems like handling the separate needs of both codebases in the CI scripts, nor it gets much out of bundling the two together except for opening them in the same editor - which is somewhat conflated with it being a monorepo? (you could simply open a parent folder with two different codebases inside and achieve pretty much the same).
In the same vein that we would not brook "white people's toys" or "Handicapped people's toys". I.e., even a shopkeeper may not stop people from buying cross section in those examples, but we recognize that it conveys an intimidating hostility and don't allow it.
Is this something we could start doing tomorrow? Do we already know how to make space kidneys and just need the space in space to do it?
