No one cares. I majored in Neuroscience, and I’m usually never even asked about what I studied in college in interviews. Within the job, I work with plenty of people who majored in something else, or didn’t even go to college, and they’re not taken any less seriously. The hard part is just getting your first software engineering job, since there’s way more competition for entry level software engineering.

You wouldn't hire someone with near-but-different skills and a decade of competency because they don't fit a niche, highly specific of requirements?

As speedybird points out, that's not market manipulation in the legal sense. And if it were, the Fortune 500 CEOs and CFOs should go to jail immediately, because they all have whole departments that release information to analysts and the public in ways intended to influence the stock price.

If that's what you're arguing for, I might be able to get behind it. But I'm definitely opposed to "pumping the market is fine but countering hype should be illegal".

Hackers, help us solve cheating in online chess
Dear HN community,

My name is Arthur, I'm the co-founder of an online chess head-to-head gaming platform called WagerMatch.
We're currently still setting up and are pre-launch.

We have a desire to do what many people on here believe is impossible, which is to solve the cheating problem in online Chess. We are uniquely well positioned to solve this issue, in a way that other chess platforms are not, which is why we know we can achieve this goal with the right help.

We are looking to eliminate the vast majority of online cheating on our platform, not all of it, as that's very likely unattainable - we want players to feel as comfortable playing on our platform as they do playing on Pokerstars, for example.

We have some great ideas in the works that we've received some positive feedback on (fresher ideas than what you'll see in my post history, for you detectives), and we're about 80% of the way there, but we need help.

Specifically, we need help from someone who knows chess, who knows cheating, and can help give us feedback on our existing defense system ideas, and provide us with their perspective and FRESH IDEAS on what more we can do in terms of statistical/automated cheating detection.

If you consider yourself as a strong chess player (ideally 1800+ but not required), are comfortable working with cheating scripts/bots/programming, and would like to participate in a unique opportunity to change online Chess, then please reach out to me.

I will not go into detail on what we have in store so far, but am happy to share via DM or better yet via a call/google meet/zoom so we can just show you what we've done so far.

If interested, please email me at arthur.kanishov@gmaildotcom or message me on LinkedIn "Arthur Kanishov" or find some other way to reach me.
Looks awesome. Thank you for building it.

Already when it appeared, APL was an incomplete programming language.

It had much better facilities than any other language for working with arrays of numbers but other tasks were awkward, e.g. handling strings, input/output, program control structures, partitioning a large program in separate modules and so on.

So going back to use the original APL is not a solution.

On the other hand, having to work with arrays of numbers in any language that does not include APL-like expressions is tedious. Having to write explicit loops when better solutions existed more than half a century ago seems extremely stupid.

With Unicode, providing the APL operators in a programming language is trivial.

There is however one APL feature that prevents the simple extension of any current programming language to just allow you to write APL expressions without changing the language otherwise.

APL had a different rule for the precedence of operators than most popular programming languages, all operators have equal precedence and the right hand operand of an operator is everything that is to its right. So the operators are evaluated from the right to the left, unless there are parentheses to change the order.

This rule was a very important innovation of APL. While it may seem weird for those who do not have experience with it, it is actually much more convenient than the usual multi-level precedence rules.

Just adding APL operators to a language without also using the APL rule of evaluation order would loose a good part of the APL advantage and simplicity.

This sounds completely off the mark for anyone that is moderately attractive, outgoing whilst possessing intelligence and social skills (I know, such a high bar to clear amongst SV types). The fact is, if one is above average in these areas, sex with attractive females doesn't cost one anything besides the time one puts in for the experience itself.

Throwing money at escorts is such a loser move (and the experience so far away from sex with a woman that truly desires you) that only someone who's never experienced the latter would seriously argue for paying 1200$ to have 20 minute sex with "an attractive, intelligent person for company, who is skillful at flattering men."

I'm not even sure how much manually blocking domains would help remedy the problem with Google results, which is that so much of the top hits are copy-pasted blog spam with very little information, scrambled together (very possibly by a non-human) purely to game SEO.

It seems like it's gotten even worse just in the past few months. I'll try to Google something common, like "can you feed X to dogs" and all the results I find are these giant "articles" that aren't even about that specific thing. Instead it's a giant wall of text with commonly-Googled questions, and if you ctrl+F to the section you were looking for, the answer is usually horrible, and why should you be trusting information from this website anyway?

Then you go back and click through other results and find an entirely different website with all the exact same text on it.

Top recipe results are also all copy-pasted SEO spam surrounded by a wall of text about the history of the recipe, and how the author is a "country mom" (definitely not a man at a content farm in India), hiding the recipe deep within.

They must be pumping out all these fake dedicated websites at such a high rate that blocking domains won't get you anywhere.

That could be an interesting question. I certainly cut my teeth on SunOS and Irix. I much prefer modern Linux.
That is one of the most sad design requirements I have ever read, then.
While true, the old approach (having a single contributor / partial owner, not necessarily an FSF-style copyright owner who owns the entire work) still doesn't require FSF copyright assignment. As an example, the Linux kernel never did copyright assignment, and the SFC has been suing over GPL violations for Linux.
I think people actually prefer terse syntax, but only for things that are already familiar to them. Most languages use "+" instead of "plus", because the audience knows it already.

Some languages (I'm thinking of Rust's Result/try/? syntax) have gradually evolved some parts of themselves from verbose to terse as people became more familiar with the concepts, so I would not be surprised if Python/NumPy follows a similar path.

Python only added a symbol for matrix multiplication ("@") in version 3.5, probably because many of its _current_ users are already familiar with the concept.

When Python was first introduced, it seemed to be more of a Perl or Bash replacement, so dedicated syntax for matrix multiplication would have been weird.
Woah! Thank you so much for sharing that website
Literally every single institutional aspect of the Western World; entertainment, media, education, big business, even the alphabet agencies ... aggressively push LGBTQ/anti-racist grievance theology all day long every day. They never, _ever_ shut up about it (this is why you can't even clone a repo these days without being made aware that BLM exists). The only ones who don't push this constantly are (some) Republican politicians and religious institutions.

So spare me. You are not punching up, or "fighting the power". Your religion is the power.
That is entirely possible. As somebody who doesn't read/write anything beyond English, I didn't want to disagree.

The "virtual keyboards" I've seen in use for non-Latin writing systems seem cumbersome to me as an outsider, so perhaps they found it difficult to produce the right combinations to achieve what they wanted.

I would quite like to see some syntax sugar around this. If we could elide the type and made `...` equivalent to `..Default::default()` it would be a lot closer to kwargs without having to introduce any new "real" features. So we could write:

f(arg1, arg2, _ {name: "Hello", address, ...})

instead of

f(arg1, arg2, MyKwargs {name: "Hello", address, ..Default::default()}

Using a struct for this feels natural as you get forwarding and non-exhaustiveness for adding additional fields for free.
Maybe instead of resigning, malicious compliance would be better.

Have the Berkeley website and brochures clearly state "Students and faculty are not allowed to express the opinion that merit-based admissions are preferable to current diversity efforts, on- or off- campus." Once there are more cancellations, a list of specific* ideas that are disallowed, prominently featured in all of the university's marketing materials and official communications. Force the censorship out into the open - that is what the censor fears most.

*I.e. not how the activists characterized the statements (usually some flavor of "Is opposed to diversity"), but what the cancelled person really said, or an honest summary thereof, ideally with links to exact quotes in full context.
Because Google changed to Alphabet and everyone calls it that and never uses Google when they talk about who owns DeepMind or Fitbit.

A version of that for cars is common enough actually. Several countries and US states have road worthiness tests that include minimum (maximum?) emissions standards that must be met. The car I drive will probably ultimately fail on emissions as standards rise over the next few years.

It is not hard to run an NTP sever locally. At a hospital, I would expect that such a server would be supplied by both a UPS and a generator, and it would have a battery-backed RTC.

I would be aghast if the RPi were directly connecting to anything outside of the local network. That would be a major failure of security in my book.
I unfollowed everything on Facebook the old fashioned way. I deleted my Facebook profiles. There is enough news out there to eat up each day without it.
In the weeks running up to the massacre, black men desperately tried to purchase firearms to defend themselves with. Remington purposefully gave them the run around so that they couldn’t buy guns, as they legally should have been able to, leading to their deaths. Remington knew what was going to happen, but they decided they cared about their reputation more than black people’s lives.

I think we should resurrect some old school name-damning punishment for those that perpetrated this massacre. Their grave sites should be smashed, and their remains cast into an anonymous pit. It’s too late to give them the capital punishment they deserved, but we can damn their name and memory for all ages.

It's all about the potential of violence to repossess said wealth.

Bezos and Musk are just dudes, if society decides that their net worth has to go to zero, then sure enough it will.

Even if they wire money out of the country you can capture the person and just like that you managed to have their net worth in effect go to zero.

That's because their 200B in Dubai have no material effect on their life in Florence penitentiary.

Social groups which are both wealthy and cohese because of say traditions , language, religion etc. they are much harder to attack with violence

It would be really nice if .. could be a shortcut for ..Default::default() which would match the syntax of pattern matching.
It is already proven that USDT is not backed by the equal amount of USD on their accounts, contrary to what was claimed, so I very much doubt that the price propped up by huge volume of USDT really equals its price in USD. If you exit now, it probably does, but this music got to stop one day.

Been holding/using Bitcoin (when possible) since ~2013. I have it because I'd rather use it than anything else, and I imagine a future when it's a decent alternative to cash, but we're not there yet so I'm still waiting. I have no qualms with the price going up or down, as long as eventually I can use it for purchases and giving/receiving friends/family, which I can already do, but it's on a very small scale.

Remember. Liu Cixin said the following about Chinese internment camps for Uighur:

“Would you rather that they be hacking away at bodies at train stations and schools in terrorist attacks? If anything, the government is helping their economy and trying to lift them out of poverty,” Liu said, adding: “If you were to loosen up the country a bit, the consequences would be terrifying.”

I wonder if that’s also something where his vision collides with reality.

I'm downvoted but I am legitimately curious.
Languages have varying costs of entry and mastery. The relative cost depends on what languages one already knows. But some language features are rarer and more difficult (declensions, conjugations, symbols, tones, etc). The size of the active vocabulary matters a great deal. But the availability of the language matters perhaps most of all.

> It's very much about timing the market.

I disagree with you there:

a) it's *always* about timing the market, whatever the investment may be: because in the end, you die.

b) on a wide enough moving average window (i.e. if your investment horizon is long term enough), and if you only look at the technical analysis pov (like many are wont to do) and ignore the politics/value conversations, BTCUSD feels like quite a reasonable bet to take.

c) had you DCA'd Bitcoin - say $50 / month - since - say - 2013, you'd be sitting *very* pretty right now.

Except the government is interested in renewables out competing oil, not starving the market of energy before the world transitions.

The latter leads to higher prices and discontent.
There are exceptions.

But the type of barycentric interpolation formula that leads to Inf/Inf at an interpolation point isn't one of those exceptions - it's an example which shows why the rule should be borne in mind.

When the input is very close to one of the interpolation points, the calculation becomes ill-conditioned, unsurprisingly as two values are diverging towards Inf, so the result can become incorrect as the input approaches the interpolation point, until it becomes Inf/Inf = Nan at some even closer, but non-zero, distance. Before reaching Nan it can also have an interval where the result is +/-Inf.

It depends on the interpolation points. But under some circumstances, it is necessary to recognise when the input is close to an interpolation point, and adjust the formula appropriately.
Wouldn't this issue resolve itself if public lands were privately owned instead?
I disagree. It's much easier for the layperson to dehumanize and justify mistreatment and violence toward faceless groups than toward individuals.

And that's just fine.

If they are causing noise above the standard, or causing emissions, then then should surely be brought to answer for that. But if they take precautions to ensure noise levels aren't above the standard (which should be the same everywhere), there is no problem at all to build a nightclub there.
It always feels like a shark-jump when somebody's marketing department needs a bonus and has nothing better to do than "rebrand".

It's also insulting your customers when communicating that (a) there's more value after a rebrand when there's obviously none; and (b) customer is dumb or shallow enough to be swayed by messaging and not the product.
