Ask HN: Chrome extension that highlights new posts on HN (hckr news replacement)
I was relying on hckr news extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hckr-news/mnlaodleonmmfkdhfofamacceeikgecp) to get a highlight of the new posts in a thread but it has recently stopped working. I don't know why since there wasn't an update to the extension and HN doesn't seem to change.

Is there another extension that is doing this?
They raise prices before they can't meet demand, despite trying. If they were in a position where it would damage demand, they would lower them instead. They have enough margin and a lot of cash on hand to do that.
From the article:

> You might be familiar with this if you know about electrolysis. On Earth this process is commonly used in manufacturing, such as to produce aluminium. An electrical current is passed through a liquid form of aluminium oxide (commonly called alumina) via electrodes, to separate the aluminium from the oxygen. In this case, the oxygen is produced as a byproduct.

This is currently not the industrial reality.

Aluminum is typically produced via the Hall–Héroult process which involves a carbon source and emits CO2. (Alternative processes which only emit oxygen are possible, but presumably those are more expensive.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall%E2%80%93H%C3%A9roult_proc...
There is no carbon on the moon. Try sustaining anything without that element.
For anyone else who is unfamiliar with old Chinese measurement systems, Wikipedia specifies the catty at around 600g.

This means that the family received about 60kg of gold, or around US$3.6m at today's spot prices - a handsome reward for their valuable formula.

Even in the ancient proverbs, capitalism is the optimal way to allocate resources, and this efficient allocation benefits all. Someone should let Xi know about this. ;)
Is it? Surely this simply and proportionately deals with exactly the risks above?
Hello Robot, Why Overly-Realistic AI Is Bad
I agree. Their website and mobile app as well seem to be of very high quality (though unfortunately it is not that hard to be exceptionally good in that compared to all the buggy software around us)

I have seen their presentation on a ML-related conference and what goes into which pictures they show for you for a given room is quite advanced. E.g. whether you will prefer a photo of a pool vs a nice room, etc.
Project Oberon: The Design of an Operating System and Compiler, by Niklaus Wirth and Jurg Gutknecht.

Oberon is a beautifully simple language and the Oberon System was amazingly creative and fresh. The ideas and code in the book are a model of clear thinking and exposition.
Ha, looks cool
Good to know.

There is also some water on the moon - and some hydrogen we could use to make water.

Now we just need to deal with the temperature ranging from -173,+127 and then we can build a nice moon base.
For edginess’ sake? While I don’t approve of hacking, I expect American spying to have less damaging results than Chinese or Russian spying.
It matters if OP is multiplying the hours they spent times $100 rather than the time the mechanic would quote (usually from a flat rate manual) times $100/hr.

If a pro mechanic would charge me $100/hr times the book time of 1.3 hours to change pads on my car and I take 3 hours to do it, I saved $130, not $300.

For simple jobs, I can usually match or slightly beat the book rate. Because I don’t have a lift, a lot of undercar work takes me loads longer.
> Pros and cons

Exactly. Which is why I don't get the "static linking is the best solution for deploying applications". You need to be able to do both. For example when building a C/C++ application you can decide if you want shared libs or static builds.
Sort of. Bankruptcy means you "cannot" pay your debts. The US can get itself into a situation in which for structural reasons it "cannot" pay back its debtors because the political/social costs of the money printing or taxation required are infeasible, e.g. nobody who will do it can get elected. In that case even though it would be technically possible, it wouldn't happen and the US would refuse to pay.
> Or when I find a really nice Node.js library that Just Works™.

This happens to me all the time. Every day really, whenever I type `npm install` I'm just delighted by the results. Those node libraries just make my programming experience so smooth and carefree, just like Apple products.
That's all true, but given that both parties were evenly matched before picking winter to do battle required something to tip the advantage to the attacker who picked that time because they had a solution to the problem of dealing with chapped hands, which in the age of manual combat may well have been of such importance that the outcome was all but certain.

Asterix joke: "The Romans, upon learning that the English requested a daily ceasefire from 2pm to 4pm because they were having tea decided to attack only between 2pm and 4pm". Obviously, that's fictional but you get the idea.

Do I really have to play Captain Obvious and say that rape jokes are usually at the expense of rape victims?

The "9 out of 10 enjoys gang rape" joke makes fun of the fact that the person being raped doesn't "enjoy" it.

Let's see if it works in other contexts:

> "9 out of 10 people enjoy lynchings"

> "9 out of 10 people enjoy stoning"

> "3 out of 4 people enjoy bullying"

> "1 out of 2 people enjoy scalping"

> "9 out of 10 people enjoy mob beating"

Doesn't quite have the same vibe, does it?

Going back to that joke, for it to be funny, you have to assume that raping someone is inherently enjoyable.

What mind finds deliberately hurting another human being an enjoyable pastime?

This particular joke comes at the literal expense of all women, because it reinforces the idea that hurting women is an enjoyable thing to do. It's dehumanizing the victim.

Do you get the picture, or should I go on further?

>and if you grew up in a different environment you would have happily made rape jokes

What environment do you think I grew up in? You seem to be making a lot of assumptions and unsubstantiated inferences here.
When your hand is stiff the basic motion is fully stretching your fingers and then closing your hand over your thumb, repeating a few times. Pretending this is some obscure combination of gestures is just disingenuous.
By taking things to their extreme you end up grouping things together that in practice behaves very differently, that's not really a practical approach. Disagree with too many points to list but in general the asset list is more like "things that generate money" (shares/farms/rent), speculative assets. Then you added a more meta category that's not about assets.
If you want to bring 8B people on the moon, you may as well transport some carbon.

The Apollo took 51hrs to get there, unmanned missions took 4-5 days
During that time, travelers are people have knowledge and skills, are looking for opportunity to serve a king. One would travel country to country and find a king who value his knowledge.
the most used options for properly written tools have both short single char option like -c and long-form version --config if you need verbose self-describing option.

If you are using cli tools of github written by a random person, then no wonder you will see non-standard approaches to UX.

I'm curious: do you have noticed any connection between what you eat (macro and micro) and the symptoms level? Because what you're describing could match dysbiosis and/or leaky gut, and you seem to have already dug really well into your condition.
I think it's probably not a skill required for most software engineering, but it's probably useful if you have a more senior engineering position where part of your role is helping and coaching less experienced people.

It's also useful to 'work a problem' with people sometimes which requires this sort of live communication, however the extent to which teams do this will vary by team. In my experience this is more common in teams that are physically located together in the same room.

Also it's not inherently clear to me that "not used in the job" means it's also bad from an assessment perspective - take defensive driving certifications for example, which require drivers to 'verbalise' what they are noticing, doing, and their decisions while they drive. Do you verbalise when you are driving in reality? No - but it is an established technique for assessment and for learning.

But each to their own. Different strokes for different folks, clearly this works for some people and not others.
Cohort Profile: The Helsinki Businessmen Study (2016)
I'd say let him be. After all, it got him this far and it clearly satisfies him, those factors may well weigh higher than having a better or prettier solution, and there really isn't anything wrong with being frugal.

I'm a lot like your dad, but maybe a bit wealthier and yet, the number of one-off tinkering solutions around the house is rather higher than you would probably expect in a normal household and yet apart from some frustration when things are a bit messy for a while due to some project on the whole it is a net positive. If my ability to do this would be circumscribed a lot of the joy would go out of my life.
This morning I did just that, and was greeted by a nasty error. The solution turned it into an incompatibility between requirements. Not that impressed.
Some of the assumptions about language in this paper are just total junk lol... this one is particularly good "...and for the
rest, overlapping vocabulary is a good proxy for similar languages" - this is so wrong I don't even know where to start. The grouping of language by family is also bizarre, the genetic groupings they give for each language are at all sorts of different levels. They say that cultural and geographic proximity was also a factor in grouping, but e.g. the Mongolic and Kra-Dai families have essentially nothing in common apart from the fact the people who speak them look sort of similar to a European. Grouping the Afroasiatic languages Somali and Amharic with the Niger-Congo set also seems like the only criterion was the physical appearance of the speakers...

There is also no way for a reader of the paper to judge the effectiveness of the algorithm. They cite this evaluation of "semantic accuracy", but nothing about the design of the task, participant selection, example data.

This paper is pretty much junk science. Even the reference section is amateurishly formatted
Interesting.

Does anyone know of a common lisp library similar to R's shiny? It provides a simple way to define the UI elements and how they intereact with the user's actions: https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/basics.html

At some point I thought about porting the first release of shiny, which was relatively simple, and keep adding features but I realized that there is a lot of code in the javascript/browser side and I would never find my way around it.

The most relevant thing I found was this clojure(script) reactive web framework from Kenny Tilton: https://github.com/kennytilton/matrix
Let's look at a similar case - Volkswagen. The CEO ?
One explanation for hospitals filling up is that there was a major fear campaign happening in the media, and many people use the ER as a doctors office. Many doctors office at the beginning of COVID were refusing to see patients that exhibiting any cold like symptoms, so people had no choice but to go to the ER, which undoubtedly would have increased the spread.

2nd, there is a mental component to sickness that is apparent when looking at placebo effects in studies. If a patient is deathly afraid of COVID and catches COVID, they can in fact worsen their symptoms and sickness based on that alone. If media is convincing people that COVID-19 is incredibly deadly, it can become deadlier than if you are not someone who worried a lot. This is nothing new as there has always been a component of care for cancer patients that involved mental health. Watch Patch Adams to see what I'm talking about.
My point was that people who make rape jokes as young adults stops with it when they realize that other people gets disturbed by them. An autistic person who never made rape jokes isn't a counter example for anything, and that autistic person saying that other autistic people should just naturally understand that rape jokes are bad doesn't prove anything either.
There are really good /wired/ noise cancelling headphones on the market. Including in-ear ones. I love my Airpods Pro, but they are nowhere near as good as wired ones. So I'd look into those instead. (perhaps a second hand pair and sell the airpods ;)
From a electrical perspective: the airpods have 2 small metal strips at the bottom. Improvising a little adapater should be straightforward. Main question is what voltage does it take and if the airpods themselves have built-in over-charge protection. (charging at 4v should prevent over-charging)
Mirror the upstream, and as part of mirroring, do an automated security analysis of your dependencies.

Sandbox your dependencies.

Run automated security vulnerability testing on your program, looking for rogue behaviour.

Require code signatures on dependencies.

Identity security critical components and audit them.
The guy killed himself and posters are mentioning "credible DV allegations" to imply "good, glad he's dead, he (probably) deserved it." This is the concrete outcome of a much broader consequence of exempting women from ordinary standards of evidence around DV allegations. It's a big problem, worth pointing out, and I strongly suspect that Kyanka would appreciate the discussion.
If you are looking at luxury hotels, of course they will have a fine website. But people often stay at smaller niche ones, that even if it has a website, it is probably several years out of date and was made with some drag and drop html editor, badly.

As you might infer from the first 4, Romanian uses postfix "the" and for singular feminine words you can't tell the difference if you use only ASCII.
In Netherlands charging stations next to roads in local neighborhoods are pretty normal.

Overall, most people probably will be charging while parked at work.
This is really misinformed comment. Aside from the specific case here, in the UK at least, on average two women a week are killed by a current or former partner[1]. Women are at far greater chance experiencing domestic violence than men[2]. In 2018 there were 1.32 million domestic abuse-related incidents and crimes reported to police of women, of which 746,219 were considered by the police to be criminal acts under uk law. There were only 78,624 prosecutions and 60,160 convictions for domestic-abuse related crimes. In other words, only around 6% of domestic violence reports end in a prosecution, and of those only 4% end in a conviction. The stats are probably similar for different countries.

If you want to push the idea that a significant number of these cases are bogus, you really have to provide some evidence for that. Domestic violence (against both women and men) is real, and people (usually women) often die as a result of it. Spouting off sexist tropes that women are just going it because they're 'scorned' really isn't acceptable.

The same goes for Banks, a.o. Dutch banks. They are a bit more picky though. Domestic and US is fine, Russian and Chinese is not.
What does Space Force Intelligence do?
Yes, I know, my current phone has one in it but I haven't used it yet, but should be handy for traveling (you can use it in dual-SIM mode by keeping the physical SIM card installed). This is a relatively new technology, and I keep seeing people say that the automotive industry really likes to stay behind on hardware. So I don't think it's likely they're putting these into cars just yet.
Well, writing scripts would be much less painful if $VARNAME did not explode into pieces by default. Alas, this ship has sailed long ago.
My worst experience with md docs is lack of indents and margins and ambigous header styles. E.g. this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-session

I just can’t parse it, seems like it is not structured in any way at all.

The second issue is a very bad technical structure, which sometimes tells more than a paragraph of text in much less time. Compare the above to this: https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/class.Button.html

It has all of the features: visual distinction, summaries, separate pages full of technical details and edge cases, clear structure that repeats among other classes. I really hate it that most docs went that stupid md route with walls of text in single file and no toc.
I've gone through and launched all 26 projects. It's impressive how fully-featured this is.

I might even start using this for some of my own projects. A wonderful thing about Common Lisp is that the code you wrote ten years ago tends to keep working forever. That might not hold true here, since this project has to interface with browsers which tend to shift like the air, but I live in hope.
> They are only really doing this to hide political dissent against the current administration and provide some cover. Both the president and vp are polling at historic low approval ratings right now.

I disagree that this is the only reason; there are other reasons that make sense as well - for example, every political movement benefits from making their movement appear larger and more inclusive than it really is.

It's easier to stifle dissent by saying "If you don't agree with us you're in the minority" and then hide the actual headcount of your movement.

It's all very 1984-esque, TBH. You cannot form an opposition if you think you're the only one who opposes.
It feels a bit tin-foil-hattish (I mean: why?), but, aside from my stupefaction at the possible motivation behind why they would do that, logically I find it pretty hard to deny that conclusion. They identify AQ/ISIS plots which are far more competently organised. I have absolutely 0% confidence that they weren't aware of something widely organised on literal Facebook.

--

Edit: The only other logical conclusion I can draw is that it was identified, passed up the chain, and then either covered up by someone (in the realm of politics) who did have that intention, or else bumbled (e.g. left on someone's desk and they were simply overloaded / missed it, a bit like the advance warnings relating to 9/11).

In that connexion it's interesting to read about the research done into pilot error (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_error), and how surprisingly common it is for human beings to simply miss alerts like that. Multiply that by the probable number of people in the chain, and it's not wildly unlikely.
> If BooKing.com were trying to hire JavaScript programmers, they'd have a vastly more enormous pool of young and old, well educated and self taught, local and remote, highly experienced and self motivated talent to hire from, and wouldn't have to be so flexible about who they hired to program in Perl.

Yes, but then they'd get results in Javascript, which has it's own security nightmares (like npm's recent third-party-code-injection incident.) Given their business most likely involves the need to quickly parse huge amount of text files (think: hotel booking information, SABRE info, ...), Perl might just be the right tool for the job.

I don't know about booking.com's hiring platform, but in my subjective experience, Perl people tend to be more professional and more careful than JS folks.
> Does anyone know how this compares to earth?

The Earth doesn't need this because it has a breathable atmosphere, but you can just look at the oceans and ballpark figure that to about 8/10ths of their mass (the oceans, not the planet).

Mars would be a better comparison to the moon.
What are you talking about?

Women are still often told that sexual harassment is their own fault for dressing the way they do, or get told "boys will be boys". It used to be expected that women would have to put up with it in the workplace.

Rape victims get told that if they really didn't want it to happen they could have fought harder.

There are still judges in the US giving lighter sentences or no jail time at all and citing this sort of reasoning.

So yes, society has certainly made an exception for sexual abuse of all forms for many years and those excuses are still being made. Are things improving? Yes. Are those improvements good enough? Not by a long shot.

> It is unfortunate, that this is what the tech industry has evolved into.

My thoughts, exactly.

I started off in the 1980s, just as tech was starting to become mainstream.

In the early days, we were not the most "socially well-adjusted" crew, but were fairly enthusiastic about the tech, with most of us working for the love of the craft.

Then, the money started to pour in. It was inevitable.

That brought the sharks and the rapacious bastards.

They became heroes and role models.

And here we are...
Right, we shouldn't exempt autistic people who make bad jokes. But you shouldn't assume that those people are rapists or domestic abusers just because they make those jokes.

There's a lot of potential here. I'm thinking a slow burning Breaking Bad set up that sells itself as a light hearted Fawlty Towers-type show about a wide eyed Monopoly enthusiast fulfilling his dream, but with every season it gets darker and grittier and ends as a tangled web of international crime and corruption. Everything spirals out of control. The hotel is hosting a big conference and the minister of whatever is holding a keynote speech and the hotel is full of press, meanwhile the johannesburg arms dealers killed a prostitute that turned out to be an undercover cop and the body is still in their room, also there's a call from some really angry russian loan sharks, they're coming for their fucking money right now.
Using dev and master branches is anti pattern and does not scale. Soon your QA team wants a QA branch. Then business wants a branch for demos. The DevOps ... Etc. Use tags. You only need one branch called "main". The way open source projects do it is best, look no further!
Both are extremely difficult. Especially, that going towards good UX involves vertical integration, and whole legacy car business is based on extensive supply networks.
