When visiting the page (at least on Firefox), the location bar displays the intended characters, but when copying it you get the percent-encoded form. If the reason for percent-encoding was just to make scams more obvious, shouldn't the form shown in the browser interface also be URL-encoded?

By the way, it seems like that is a much stronger argument when applied to domian names than when applied to the part of the URL after the slash.

> What bothered me about the original implementation was the lookup table. Even though I knew they’d be cached, I still thought the memory accesses might have a detrimental affect on performance.

The encoding lookup table is an array of four chars. I'd be surprised if accessing such an array has a detrimental effect on any program.

I also wonder why the graphs say "Encode / Decode", as if you are combining the performance of the encoding function and the decoding. Have you considered separating them?

It would also help reproducibility if you include your compiler, versions, and flags. You mentioned that you've turned off all optimizations, but I wonder why.

"O0" would certainly produces a lot of jumps for the switch. But O2 is certainly going to eliminate those jumps. In fact, with O2, gcc11 seems to produce identical code for switch and lookup table.

I find the pricing structure surprisingly similar to Hetzner Cloud. There are the same RAM and CPU core tiers running the same AMD EPYC 2nd Gen (one to one and onto mapping).

Except prices for storage is almost double. And hourly costs are higher which is kinda hidden by not assuming 24/7 operation compared to Hetzners monthly pricing. You will pay less with Hetzner as they also offer hourly billing.

More smoking guns, while moonhome.io is hosted by Amazon both app.moonhome.io and alpha.moonhome.io (shared by the founder on Twitter) resolve to 78.47.78.87 which is static.87.78.47.78.clients.your-server.de which is an Hetzner IP. [1]

For my own legal safety i am not claiming that this service is just reselling Hetzner Cloud. Just that i found a lot of things that convinced me that that could be reselling Hetzner Cloud. Same disclaimer applies to all comments i made in this thread.

The article does mention that. Also mentions that nurses are significantly underpaid and quitting in droves. Raising pay to compensate the existing nurses would reduce this churn, but they'd rather keep local wages down and let non-resident nurses get the federal funding.
Note the Americas already had civil and external wars long before the Spanish arrived.

When you know the full history of the Conquistadors and their relationship with the local population, things are not so clear.

For example, the Spanish:

- didn't teach locals to do mass ritual sacrifice and throw the bodies down the steps of the temples

- didn't tell one of the local kings to burn his empire's library to erase any history before his reign

- didn't force their "local allies" to march on the capitals of the empires.
Well that plus they have very little slack in their schedule. They have a goal of 20 minute turnarounds. That leaves no room for error. Most airlines won't turnaround a plane in less than an hour.

Lot of fired nurses around the country looking for work…
Yeah, I custom wrote a lot of the NLP years ago. It was adapted from my Master's thesis predicting box office sales using sentiment analysis on twitter data (and a few other variables like number of theaters it plays in). Back then, nothing out of the box was accurate enough to my liking and I had to custom write a lot of stuff to analyze it and it's pretty web hosting specific for understanding context. I honestly haven't tested much on newest sentiment analysis stuff available. I wonder how accurate it would be. But the biggest problem I am finding is that there is less data on Twitter. Not sure if that's fewer people talking about these companies or just lower Twitter volume in general.

This isn't just an issue about things not being handmade. The ornate victorians with lots of flourishes were actually assembled from mass produced pieces. This is about architects intentionally turning away from beauty, because they believe the world is ugly, and their architecture needs to show this 'truth'.

Check out the famous debate between Christopher Alexander (traditionalist) and Peter Eisenman (modernist) in 1982. They were discussing a modernist arcade by Moneo, pictured here:

http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthread.php?228787-quot-A-Pat...

Moneo's arcade is intentionally designed to be uncomfortable. It does not provide any shade. It does not protect well from the rain. It is not human scale. It draws attention to itself. It is intentionally jarring and unpleasant.

In short, it does not fulfill the traditional role of an arcade, which is as a shaded, quiet place from which to enjoy a garden or public place.

You can read the debate here:
http://www.katarxis3.com/Alexander_Eisenman_Debate.htm

Eisenman basically points out that we no longer believe the "old cosmology" and it's time for a "new" cosmology, one which tries to "invert" or find the "negative" values of the old cosmology. That the world is filled with anxiety and disharmony and so architecture, to be "truthful", should reflect that ugliness. These are intentional design elements to make things unpleasant. It has nothing to do with labor costs or expense. Modernist buildings are not cheap, and when you take into account that most of them are disposable and have huge maintenance costs (due to being made of concrete rather than brick, and not taking into account those old fashioned things like putting eaves on windows to limit water damage). In other words, there is real sadism here. Intentional unpleasantness. A desire to inflict punishment on the masses.

There is a nice write up here: https://www.currentaffairs.org/2017/10/why-you-hate-contempo...

Now compare this to the medieval cathedral. Only a fool would think that modern life is more unpleasant than medieval life. But they built aspirational buildings to capture the beauty of the divine. We make buildings to capture our longing for self-annihilation. We are surrounded by life and long for death. They were surrounded by death and celebrated life.
I think more resolution may give you more false negatives, which might not be helpful. We’ve used similar tools for integration testing at work and the smallest usually irrelevant change can bust the reference cases, due to the high-detail in the reference, which means going through all the changed tests and then seeing that everything is still fine.

For this, just thinking about sound, I wonder if you could invert the reference wave form and add it to the test to see how well it cancels? Then instead of just knowing there was a diff, you could get measurements of the degree of the diff.
I’m the guy that goes around and vouches for flagged comments if they’re not obviously vile/disrespectful/rude even if I disagree with it completely.

Smart cars should improve this prediction by reporting hard braking and other evasive maneuvers that indicate "near misses" that wouldn't otherwise show up in accident reporting.

Which is probably good and bad -- municipalities can use the data to improve dangerous roads/intersections, online map providers could use the information to route around dangerous roads. But also insurance companies can use it to set rates "We've analyzed your driving over the past month and based on our predicted danger level, we're going to need to increase your rates 20%
That's definitely not our ambition with launching this feature. That being said, we do consistently hear that cloud consultants tend to be inaccessible and/or prohibitively expensive especially for startups/SMBs.

As developers are becoming more financially savvy as it relates to cloud infrastructure our goal is to simply give them the suite of analytics tools to dive deeper themselves. This feature launch supports that aim.

Do we even have any idea which privateer, or which galleon?

In addition to smileysteve's comments, I'd also question the idea that the US is the #1 system in the world. By some metrics? Yes. By other metrics? No. It seems to be a subjective argument thrown around with about as much basis behind it as the people who seem to think we have a free market healthcare system when we obviously don't. We have a weird public / private mix that's incredibly complicated, not a free market at all, and honestly I've had so many problems with debt collectors coming after me for massive bills that nobody can explain for me (all stemming from either childbirth or routine preventative care mind you, like I said I'm pretty healthy) that I consider the panic attacks I get from the process my #1 health risk. I can't imagine what it must be like for people who get cancer, though I've heard horror stories.

FWIW, there's a long-standing bias here against "meta" discussion. Arguably, talking about HN isn't really "on topic" on HN.

Not sure how dang and the other mods feel about that point.
It's clearly about banning them from taking up specific new jobs if they already work(ed) in Texas, so they don't have a motivation to quit an existing to job to switch to those, not literally banning them from quitting.
The argument that article is making is a general argument about the philosophy of science and the types of demarcations between science and pseudoscience or fringe science.

I'm not really sure what you're driving at here.

While there are certainly other nuances involved such as what kind of radiation is emitted (alpha, beta, gamma, neutron), and what the immediate fission products are, if all other factors are equal, the longer the half life, the less radioactive the material is. That's literally the definition.

The really nasty isotopes are ones like Iodine-131 (half-life 8 days, has an affinity for the human thyroid gland) and Strontium-90 (half-life 28.79 years, has an affinity for human bones). While saying that something has a "half-life of forty million billion trillion years" may sound scary-impressive, what it actually means is "this stuff is only very mildly radioactive).
You're right. However, I'd rather have myself as a single point of failure (for OS and VS Code server) than another individual. Keep in mind that you're also trusting an individual with your codebase.
No data to back this us, but my intuition would be that other than government or big corporations, everyone buying a new machine with Windows installed would get the 64 bit version.
