Ask HN: How to get started on ski touring?
I have been watching a lot of videos of people hiking to the top of a mountain to then go down skiing and I would love to get started on that, but I have no idea what would be a good way to start. Do you know any communities or guides available?

Web Machine Learning
> Compilers, as long as the machine code is equivalent to the source code their output can be wildly different

I don't understand what this means: the output of a compiler is the machine code from the source code, no?

Also, Rust uses LLVM as a backend, which has benefited from lots of work given its use for C, C++, ObjC, Swift, &c. Compiling the C with Clang/LLVM might give a more interesting insight into the differences between Rust and C.

> The obvious solution of compiling to a second language is never quite as capable as using the language directly.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, or rather how it's related to what we're talking about?
We are totally under the obligation to justify funds. To start with, because taxes, but also there are a lot of legislation put in place to prevent money laundering under threat of very high fines for non compliance, even if no laundering happened
Firefox' market share is low enough that I'd be surprised if Microsoft wasted even one developer hour implementing this for Firefox downloads.
There is nothing in the RCMP report suggesting the government was responsible for the bombings, deaths, or kidnapping.

The government arrested a lot of people and let most of them go within a few hours without charging them. Is that unexpected? The US has arrested more than 10,000 BLM protesters most for curfew violations and surprise surprise almost all of them were let free soon after without charges

The Duchaine report concluded that one guy was probably not present when the killing happened. Not that there was not a killing. He himself admitted to the killing and all the Duchaine Report did was to suggest it was to cover up for others who had done it.

The civil proceeding are not "convenient" that is not how civil cases work. The people suing him want a share of the money he got for his mistreatment. They had 8 years when he was in US custody to sue. They have not even asked for his return.

From what I see, you put on a tinfoil had and basically made some crap up. Well done.

It would be helpful if search engines were honest an open about what they censor.

Google could plainly say we blackhole this and that content and ignore these keywords and don’t autocomplete on these others, etc. same for Bing and any other. Just be open and transparent about the purposeful bias then the user can find and use the one that most matches what they’re looking to use.
It's the n64 tech demo all over again!
Seems fairly unlikely. The best sorting algorithm is a function of the data. The compiler can't know this. There are pathological data sets where quicksort is O(n^2). For small n, quick sort is also a bad choice.

The programmer can understand these domain characteristics but the compiler certainly can't. If code isn't running qsort(), this could be a mistake, but may also be an optimization.
Why should the ubiquity of a particular hardware design dictate that you diverge from the canonical representation of a number? If we were laying out digits and not bytes, everyone would find it bizarre to lay it out little endian, we all know the canonical layout of the digits of a number and changing that really requires some documentation. Why would changing radix change what is canonical? It gets really annoying when you convert from radix 16 to radix 2 and suddenly your "little endian" layout is actually mixed endian because rarely will people apply the endianness to representations of bits (of course, you already see mixed endianness in radix 16, it is only in radix 256 that little endianness exists and isn't actually mixed endian).

So when people are choosing to write things to wire, big endian seems quite natural because what is natural in radix 10 is equally natural in radix 16 and equally natural in radix 2.
>Yes. And that might suit a (hypothetical) hidden agenda. I just don't think the authorities are smart or cynical enough to foresee and plan something like that (in Denmark)

What is hidden or hypothetical about it?

The first book came out in 2010 post financial crisis. The whole design is about fighting against STEM and producing an economy in which creativity is rewarded. The politicians took that are twisted it to their needs.

>IMO, the responses to the virus have been driven by media hysteria and politicians doing what they think will make them look good.

It's really just the next step. In which if you say that producing all these infographics and having a large cohort of support clearly indicates intention. It's appropriate for elected officials to have these plans. There is no 'conspiracy' but what do you think about the possibility that these folks were driving the public to hysteria in order to justify these plans?
To clarify, when I wrote "the ways units interact", I was referring to units that represent external dependencies in some kind (often a database, as you said). Many refactorings change those interactions in some way.

I agree that there is no reason to mock data containers or other classes with fully self-contained behaviour.
I'm shocked people are using this as a political tool =O, nobody would ever guessed that.
> Now imagine that you relax these requirements and somebody writes that beautiful article full of details but with no supporting sources. It can be completely false, an elaborate hoax, self promo or part of a smear campaign. What do you do?

At least Wikimedia could hire generalist experts for the major areas of science for each major language that have the time to review contested or suspicious articles, based on the cited sources or actual research. Many governments have such a public service for the members of parliament (e.g. the "Wissenschaftlicher Dienst des Bundestags" in Germany, see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wissenschaftliche_Dienste_des_...), which every MP can ask to provide guidance on any question they need for their work.

I built swiftjectivec.com using Jekyll and Netlify. I’m in the iOS world by trade, and over the last decade web technology and the flavor of the week has changed faster than I care to keep up with. So this simple, dare I say “dumb” setup, is perfect for me. I also use the same approach for stuff I sell too, such as bestinclassiosapp.com

For me, the simplest thing with the smallest amount of failure points is key.
This is what makes me laugh about everyone trying to figure out which country did it “right”.

One country is on the down slope of a wave and get kudos for an effective strategy. Some country on an upslope get trashed. And it changes every few months.

We won’t know which countries handled it well for another 5-7 years once analyses can be done that take into account the full impact of strategies.

Then add on top their stats aren’t even comparable due to different levels of testing, different categorization, etc.

Just looking at raw stats says Africa did really well with Covid even without the vaccine. But if you don’t test, you can’t find cases. No cases, no covid deaths.

Wanna say, vadfa's two answers:

>We already have laws against violence.

>So don't read them, as easy as that.

are both "demand-side" solutions, which conservatives are well aware don't work when there's people dealing poison in the street.

Still, rexreed, I'll always fight for free speech, even when the people exercising it are abhorrent. And even knowing they'll take advantage of that to the fullest effect they can. Because if we really restrict it, the worst possible people will take control of who gets to say what. And it won't be the people we'd like to be making that decision. Every encroachment on free speech is like feeding steroids to the nazis.
I'm not interested in tennis at all but I admit feeling an urge to find some way to support tennis.

It would be great if the internet could somehow make this a fantastic decision for WTA.

Ideas?
Agree 100%. Many riots / burning of buildings / lootings were allowed while media spurred them on and called them peaceful protests. Police in many cities gave up on enforcement.

In those scenarios the state no longer has a monopoly on violence.
Seeing the Satoshi mystery as a discrediting factor points to a genetic fallacy, doesn't it? Does it really matter who made it, as long as it is open?

I am aware of the pre-mined Satoshi coins, but it's perfectly possible that the key to those got lost forever by now if they weren't explicitly designed as a pump & dump/kill switch for Satoshi's benefit.
No. "Decentralized" means everybody takes accountability, as opposed to just one corporation.

As an artist who has been able to survive the pandemic in part due to NFTs, honestly, nothing is that bad about them per se. That said there are a couple of points worth noting:

- as an artist when I sell an NFT it's the equivalent of selling conceptual art, the recipient basically buys the "certificate of authenticity" that states that this work, together with the certificate of ownership constitutes the original work. This isn't too different from a certificate of authenticity often issued with a print or painting, just suitably modified to the digital space. I mean, there are a million Van Gogh reproductions, some even eerily well forged, but only the painting with its certificate is the original work. Doesn't mean the rest of the world can't enjoy the reproductions.

- It helps me make ends meet as an artist and is a way for collectors to support that, especially important for digital artists whose works traditionally have suffered form being turned into static prints, for example.

- the POW issue re: sustainability is an ugly one, thankfully there alternatives with POS, but it's important to remember not everyone can afford to be too principled, sometimes you have to go where people are offering what you need to pay this months rent, not where you'd like to go.

- NFTs are massively hyped and have yet to be a better alternative to anything, that said they have helped a lot of artists survive the pandemic, they aren't a way of getting rich quick, or at least for 99% they aren't heh (but that's no different form the traditional art world).

One was "unarmed" with a blunt weapon and the other threatened to kill Kyle prior to his attempt to steal his gun. Had Kyle not shot him, he rapidly would've became armed.
But does it make "perfect sense" to regulate it? No. Especially not when there is a large group of population who disagrees to those regulations.
DAOs nearly always have their front-end in a public repository so you can run it locally, but this is also convenient for the Cloudfare hijacker.

One defence is ENS. If your DAO's contract is registered for example as "BadgerDAO.eth", and your users wallet software shows that every time they make a transaction then it will be a red flag when the contract has been swapped out in the compromised front-end.

Unfortunately many wallets don't support ENS, and in those that do the experience could be better. So better wallets are part of the solution.
> No, it very specifically supports the hypothesis that masks are not effective.

It very clearly doesn't. No support for "masks are effective" is not the same that "support for masks are ineffective". To put an extreme example, suppose I make an study with just two participants, one with mask and another one without, and neither of them get infected. The results wouldn't support the hypothesis that masks are effective, but neither could support the hypothesis that masks are ineffective. Which is the point: the study you linked to does not have enough power to actually check effectiveness of the measure. The 95% confidence interval is way too large to draw any conclusion.

Another issue for the study is that it's evaluating surgical masks, which are less effective than N95 masks, and only for infection of the wearer, when we know they're much more effective at avoiding others from getting infected.

That's why population-level studies are important, and you'll find that those support the effectiveness of masks.
Which end of the political spectrum has perfected information virality?
A lot of political blogs think it is designed to remove memes ahead of an election. It likely won't be fairly enforced.
Not at all. I'm just saying this is something I can get away with easily, and that if I was a black guy wearing the same hoodie and jeans, I have to believe it would probably be harder. Structure supports me even though I didn't do anything for it. The definition of white privilege.
No idea what's going on there in the EU right now. But there has been an other case in Germany where certain adult sides are blocked unless they put "strict" measures in place to verify the age of users. Because porn causes severe damage to children and youth. Those sites, xhamster among them, are based on Zyprus in the EU. And a German court found that they have to adhere to German child protection laws.

SO we have the case against that DNS provider, one against adult sites and one from the Netherlands against Pirate Bay.

Two thoughts: What the fuck happened to the free internet? It seems that the EU is slowly, intentionally or not, building a Chinese wall around European internet. And secondly, apparently those courts didn't realize that VPNs are a thing. My son used VPNs on his phone before I even thought about it. And he didn't pick the worst ones. He is 13.
Would be great to have a search frontend that aggregates results from both then.
Fascinating, and indeed related. One of the most interesting tactics was people who admit they're wrong or otherwise signal that they're willing to change their view, but they're really not. That's an excellent example of a blind spot in my manipulator radar.
The Firestorm cores are capable of issuing two 128bit stores per cycle [1], giving a bandwidth of 102.4 GBps. This matches the experiments by Andrei with mixed reads/writes [2], and I have personally verified that it is attainable for pure write workloads to L1 as well as L2.

This does not mean 102.4 GBps is achievable on a single core, but if L2 bandwidth is the limiting factor it very well could be.

Without trying to speak to why "katlang" does what it does, there are other languages that do this and I can speak to how useful it is when you already prefer functions of low arity: It repeatedly demonstrates a substantial improvement in bug/defect reduction and code.

APL does this; a function like {ω×α+ω} and assigns omega to the right-argument, and alpha to the left-argument. They also have ωω for the right-side function and αα for the left-hand function for writing higher-order functions. Dyadic expressions tend to modify their right-hand argument, and not the left, so for the times that the arguments are "backwards" this can usually be fixed with the commute operator (⍨) which looks similar to katlang's "grace" operator (~) so I assume at least some influence.

k/q does something more similar: a function like {x*y+x} assigns the first argument to x, the second to y, the third to z. The author seems inspired by this behaviour (even mentioning it in a linked paper). In q, when the function is in the q context, x is the left-argument and y is the right-argument when called dyadically. Sadly, q and k don't have commute.
No he means stuff like the Hong Kong protests semi-robotic stream of inane content maybe ? Like I know americans are a bit like adult babies and it may not be inauthentic state run accounts, but the speed and amount of disinformation on twitter vs what happened in reality was like wow, everyone around me in HK is basically like "ofc it was a CIA attempt, look at how fast it stopped", which may be exagerated but...

Like I had a german friend, who barely comes to HK once a year as a tourist, send demands to... american senators (!!!!) to sanction HK representatives. I was like wtf the amount of disinformation do they receive to be so extreme and how does it make sense that a tourist send to a foreign government that kind of panicked demand like we were dying of starvation under the beatings of the Chinese or what :D
Given the reactions I’m not sure Americans are uniform on this, also it’s especially puzzling that in a country with Christian roots people would say that (I’m not talking about defending your life, children or home of course).
I only watch the Netflix fireplace channel.
And so what? That's what this code does, and so a compiler should be able to generate the optimal assembly. Why would a compiler need to consider something that the code in question is not doing?
Not evidence, but it makes sense to at least have the capability in case you need a focused push. As long as it's not illegal, there's just no downside.

> It is important to note that this was not a smart contract exploit.

I disagree that this is an important detail. Even though the smart contract code wasn't exploited directly (this time), this type of massive theft is only possible because the smart contract ecosystem thrives on a lack of accountability.

Something that blew my mind. https://www.yahoo.com/news/kyle-rittenhouse-says-andrew-yang...

Rittenhouse stayed out of the politics for the trial(very smart) and later he revealed that he was in the "Yang Gang"

"I'm going to get a lot of hate for this but I was a pretty big Andrew Yang supporter before all this,"

He was far left and the left wing are who attacked him as white supremacist and all that.

Just goes to show how the media is just completely full of shit.

Interesting anecdote or observation:

It’s a cliché, but it often seems that some of the most socially conservative 20-somethings are the children of divorce, reacting against the wild bohemianism of Generation X.

And the ending is quite fitting:

Those Regency men raised in the 20th century must feel the same way about this new age, even if it is a better world in most ways. The new Victorians may preach about different sins, but the sanctimony is the same.

Wonder if there are such studies on the boom and bust or pendulum swings of morality and moralizing.

Tuples require object deconstruction syntax. KatLang does not have object deconstruction feature. KatLang has simply deconstructed the function into input and output. In KatLang you define algorithms by specifying inputs and outputs. If You use implicit parameter, then the algorithm has an input. If You do not use implicit parameters, then the algorithm has only output and it is more like a data structure rather than a function.

I agree, that parameter ignorance operator # is ugly. I do not like it. The plan is to remove it in the future versions, but it requires some research.

About expression reading and parsing... Your argument is correct, but KatLang expressions are relatively short. I do not expect that KatLang will replace general purpose programming languages. KatLang is just a simple language for calculations. Main goal was to redesign the calculator and KatLang is good for that.
