From the article -

“ The double pendulum has the special property that very small changes in initial conditions result in very large changes in eventual outcome. And that means small approximation errors compound much faster than we can deal with them - the system diverges**.”

- isn’t this just a problem of lack of computing power rather than weakness of the equations themselves. Imagine that there one unit change in the source results in a 1000 new combination , but having computing power that can scale horizontally can solve it. I am aware that current computing power (even in the cloud) is limited , but in future we may have quantum computing or something similar that can accommodate modeling these kind of divergence problems.
Microsoft has a lightweight "code storage" platform - GitHub and a heavyweight "code storage" platform - Azure DevOps. I see them unifying in the future, ideally taking the good from both platforms, but very likely in a way that allows the company to optimize cost, whatever that means. Either there was no need for a CEO/COO at GitHub, or they were not the best to make this transition, or they didn't agree to the direction in which GitHub is going.
"backup" could mean the main account...where the phone data is "backed up".
Honestly don’t care about the second order effects on the broader economy; it’s about taking direct action, ripping the system, then spreading the wealth around your community.

Not everyone is a straight white guy with a family and kids, and if you’re not, climbing the corporate ladder doesn’t happen for you if you play by the rules.

I mean, this is still the case, for the vast, vast, VAST majority of jobs worldwide. Your negotiating options are 1. take it, or 2. leave it. Even in tech, which is supposedly red hot now, unless you have some extremely niche sought-after talent, or are already some CxO captain of your industry, you have no leverage negotiating yourself vs. a trillion dollar company.

Of course, everyone on HN has their anecdote about their brother's cousin's girlfriend's former roommate successfully negotiation $1M in stock options at Facebook, but those cases are likely 4-5 standard deviation outliers.
500 years not 200. And the reason is because those in the majority view it as benefiting them.
It’s true that literally everything on Earth is natural by definition, either naturally-occurring or produced by natural forces like erosion or beavers or humans. But that’s tautological, and not interesting.

Refined petroleum does not occur naturally and is toxic to all life. Vegetable oils are produced by stepping on or chewing nuts or vegetables. There is no comparison.
Funny, I took over a modern python service and I was pretty shocked at what I inherited. Long gone are the days of "There's one way to do things".

Instead, this thing would give the most "enterprisey" Spring JEE application a run for its money with its endless annotations, dependency injection magic, all sorts of pseudo-types - both the "built-in" Python 3 ones like Set and List, but also the libraries like Pydantic. But unlike Java, these types aren't even really guaranteed by the language at compile time, so even if your IDE plugin can successfully detect them, things will still (silently) slip through at runtime.

The async functionality that's been bolted on to the language is worse than even the old and confusing Java multi-threading primitives, and the funny thing is it still doesn't actually run things in multiple threads. For that, your simple Rest API is running on layers of C programs like Uvicorn which itself is then wrapped by another few processes running Gunicorn which in turn is probably running behind NGINX. LOL, and we thought the Servlet stuff with Tomcat and JBoss was clunky - this is insane.

To be honest, if there ever was a sweet spot for Python, it would have been for smaller code bases that weren't complex enough for big "enterprisey" langs like .Net or Java, but were more permanent and complex than shell scripts or (back in the day) Perl could handle.

But nowadays, I don't think modern Python fits any use case real well. It's still dynamically typed, slow, single-threaded, and has a poorly managed ecosystem and hodge-podge of tools like virtualenv, pyenv, poetry, etc. that never quite become standardized and stable.

So unless you've got a bunch of Python experts who aren't interested in moving to a better lang, I'd find it hard to go with Python for new projects.
No, we didn't, and you should be more careful making convenient assumptions about your interlocutors. If you want to make exceptions because of extreme circumstances that's fine, but that's a far cry from your original "unique individuals" argument. Almost seems evasive TBH. The normal case is that people deserve to live with basic human dignity even if they might have made some poor choices. Does that create a burden for others sometimes? Yup, sure does. It's this little thing we call civilization. And where there's a burden there's always a question of who should bear it. Again, the normal case is that it would be those who are already reaping what their parents helped them sow. This is not some super exotic or recent philosophical idea. If anything, the idea that you don't owe anyone else anything at all no matter what they've done for you or how that plays out when everyone's acting that way is the newcomer, still wanting for evidence that it can lead to anything good. Most often, it's just rationalization for doing what's convenient instead of what's right.
More useful takeaway is to have a secure password on your phone. Repair techs aren't able to do anything that a pickpocket couldn't...
Towards free speech? Twitter is not pro free speech. Twitter has long been pro free woke speech. In other words: Twitter is censorship. Remember that's the social network who allows talibans to spread their propaganda and hate speech.
But how much more income do you make in SF? I think most of these measures are based on cost / income. Also you tend to be bound to US / CA wide pricing in SF beyond a few very local services, so you can take advantage of cheaper consumer good pricing from the large US market.
It's entirely dumb. She was fired by the company she contracted for, not by Google. No Google employee had any involvement in that decision. The sole reason that the word 'Google' is attached to this article - and to her complaints - is because it generates more publicity.

It's also very unclear where the "unGoogley" wording comes from. The article doesn't directly attribute it to anyone in her company, much less in Google, though it does everything else it possibly can to insinuate that one of her overlings said it. My hunch is that the quote is actually from her.
I just tested the only website I have in “Add to Home Screen” PWA mode on iOS, and it caches all of itself perfectly fine offline, but since the site is coded badly, it doesn’t recognize that it’s in offline mode and crashes instead of being a useful app.

It serves the crash page locally, from cache. But it’s clear that they could have invested in this and chose not to. That’s not the OS’s fault, any more than it is when an native app decides not to implement offline support.

But. Native apps are required to ship basic offline mode support, so that when launched while offline, they show something to the user. The open web has no such requirement, and tends prefers the laziest approach without regard for users. Restrictive demands upon apps is what makes me prefer them; I respect others prefer the freedom not to bother with offline or accessibility or whatever.

Indeed, gas engines probably drip or exhaust more oil. Certainly 2 stroke chainsaws.

There's a rumor among cyclists that "3 in 1 oil" is bad for bikes because it contains vegetable oil that gums up. But cyclists will debate about oil for days.
How do you know it's out of bounds, in general? C pointers aren't required to store their size at runtime, and even if they did and you were inside the extent the pointer might have already been freed due to aliasing (which can be impossible to track if your language allows integer-to-pointer casts). Of course in some obvious cases, it would be good to detect this (and many compilers try), but in cases where it's obvious isn't it better to error at compile time rather than runtime?
So you're a mediocre developer? Now what?
I believe tweets like this gets put on Twitter for several reasons:

1) Victim receives unsatisfactory response from Google (or no meaningful response from Google which I have personally experienced). They seek public attention to get Google to acknowledge the issue.

ie. The victim followed the official steps for remotely wiping the phone (as it would not turn on) but appears that didn't work. https://mobile.twitter.com/avantgame/status/1467242719273631...

2) They are seeking public attention/support. They may be looking for others with similar experiences that might help.

Helpful responses include steps they can take to protect themselves right now.

3) Smear Google - We can wait and see but I do not see an indication of this at this time.
I'm with you. I was confused by that term. Why not 'browser based remote desktop'? I've never heard anything happening in a browser called clientless before. In fact it is usually explicitly called a client, e.g. client side rendering.
That's a stretch.

People who have died from the vaccine have died of blood clots caused by the vaccine and they are recorded as such. Also they are dying in the 4-8 weeks post vaccination. So they would be considered vaccinated.
I'm not sure about "cheap" but Mouser would be another to add to this list.
Not sure if you have George Floyd incidents where you live, but half of America is still super racist. While this is probably a little hyperbolized, it's definitely a thing.

After several false starts, I finally figured out how to configure the DLNA server in my router to serve files from USB-attached storage to the smart TVs on my LAN. Then I installed the VLC app on my iPhone and it discovered the DLNA server immediately as a UPnP File Server in the Network tab. It works pretty well, except it doesn't show the cover art for music files. The MacOS app also discovers the server, but the interface is completely different. Overall, I'm impressed, though I did have to do some online searching to figure out how to do some basic things like random play (you have to start playing a song to access the shuffle icon).
Thanks, I figured it was something like that. One of the startups here is a bunch of former BT execs so I was assuming they were hoping to exit by selling either to BT or VM.
>The colonialists came with their world view, made the Indians feel inferior to subjugate them.

It is still going on. There is a reason a gang rape in an Indian village becomes global news on BBC and CNN but gang rapes in other countries don't get anywhere the same attention.

The current rape hysteria about India is as old as European colonization and even Karl Marx wrote about:

>During the Indian Rebellion of 1857, known as "India's First War of Independence" to the Indians and as the "Sepoy Mutiny" to the British, Indian sepoys rebelled en masse against the East India Company's rule over India. Incidents of rape committed by Indian sepoys against British women and children were reported in the English press, particularly after British civilians fell into Indian hands after sieges such as at Cawnpore. However, after the rebellion was suppressed, detailed analyses by the British government concluded that although Indian sepoys had engaged in massacres of British civilians after they captured them, there had never been one single instance of war rape committed by the sepoys.[103] One such account published by The Times, regarding an incident where forty-eight British girls as young as fourteen and ten had been raped by the Indian sepoys in Delhi, was criticised as an obvious fabrication by German author Karl Marx, who pointed out that the story was written by a clergyman in Bangalore, while the rebellion was mostly confined to the Punjab region.[104]

This has a modern parallel; anglophone Indian journalists write about local crime in a highly exaggerated manner to get more clicks and views from a global audience.
Oh, but CPU instructions can be built up from a series of μops which are then executed out of order or in an overlapping fashion, making both "instruction" and "state" boundaries in your equation more fuzzy than it looks. So at the absolute-absolute bottom of "code", it is instructions for an abstract model of an interpretative device.
Mouser Electronics and RS Electronics are 2 that I have used for 3D printing electronics parts, soldering and all that stuff. They might have what you're looking for.
the best healthy and possible way of living alone for long periods of time(especially for extroverts), is to have a reason for it.
maybe you want to write a book or build something, its perfectly okay and possible to put %100 of your focus and time on a personal project, usually for 3 to 6 month or at most a year, longer then that is not ideal in my opinion.

out of that scenario is extreme introverts, who are probably agoraphobic or people who get very anxious in every human interaction.

in opposite we have extreme extroverts, who can't stand being alone. for verity of reasons.
you might fall in to this category.

i don't know if most people are in extreme end or are normal.

if i had to define normal in simple term i would say:
a normal introvert spend %75 of their time alone and %25 interacting with others.
and other way around for a normal extrovert.

you are obviously an extrovert so there is no need for you to waterboard yourself with solitude.
just incrementally add small amount of alone time to your life, to a point where you can deal with it.

You people simply have it backwards. You truly seem to believe of the alternatives of somebody offering a job for 2$/h and no job, offering no job is the better alternative. When in reality you could simply not take the 2$/h job and be in the same situation as if there was no job.

The living wage theory is a completely moronic idea, because why should anybody who needs a job done have to pay for somebody else's whole life expenses? That makes zero sense and just makes it more difficult to offer jobs.

Like suppose you need somebody to paint your living room. Should you have to pay their whole living expenses to do that? How does that make sense? It is just a job.

Minimum wages only hit the poorest people who can't get jobs anymore. And the first victims will not even show up in the joblessness statistics, because they will be people who earned an extra income to their pension or student allowance.

The only proper solution is to increase demand for jobs. If you are desperate to find somebody to paint your living room, you will raise your rates to get the job done.

Yes, “for now we aren’t eliminating because we could never force that through, but we will definitely be eliminating at the right opportunity and this moves us toward that”.

Not in the way race peddlers would have you believe. The problem is overblown, and used to manipulate and control.
+1, it's become a mantra for me in any code I write that deals with foreign data (which is most of them). Really reshapes your thinking.
Thank you for sharing this. I had more fun using it than expected. It is too bad that this had to be removed. Do you have any plans to release the source? I would absolutely love to be able to host something like this locally to play around with.

Again, thanks for this it was very fun while it lasted.
a content-derived uri is a necessity for some things (indisputable facts, scientific papers, opinions at a moment in time, etc.) but foolish for others. Think of a website displaying the current time or anything inherently mutable.

But having unchanged documents move to new locations on the same domain without a redirect but a 404 is just utter unforgivable failure. Or silently deleted documents, also an uncool nuisance.

Both happen a lot. That's what comes to my mind, when I read the initial quote.

Also, it seems you are an anti-vaxxer so of course you are stretching and warping statements so they fit your world view. So sad that even on HN this idiocy exists.
Separately from anything else.

Just because the far right quotes something does not mean that something is either wrong, or political.

This is true throughout the world. Simply saying ‘the far right likes it so it is bad’, is itself a suspect claim.
Coding is basically just ifs and while loops.
Right, I agree. But I'm just challenging the notion of impossibility. It actually doesn't seem to be that complex of an issue as long as the object detection us solid ( coming from my biased perspective). Maybe challenging, but nowhere near impossible
Has Google at any time ever asked a user for their password to do a repair? I remember a physical Apple Store (real, Apple Inc., in California) asking me for my password for a laptop hardware repair. They were OK with my declining to do so.
can you name a single widely used C library that hasn't had a buffer overflow vulnerability?
Didn't even know that was a thing! Will have to look into getting the cert.
What's the super charitable reading of "can tip the scales in almost any election"?

The parent commenter talked about political organizations generally. They didn't specify non-corporate funded lobbying.

Also, it's reductive and I would argue misleading to say AIPAC has a "singular ideology" (as opposed to some sort of umbrella of overlapping ideologies, somewhat akin to groups like the Democratic the Republican parties in the US).
At least in the C++ space, stuff like boost-sml is able to produce assembly that is often as fast or occasionally faster than handwritten if or switch based FSM logic.
I think it's defined to execute at least until overflow, is it not? (So, even assuming a 1-bit int, it's going to execute at least once I think.)
I'm may be biased because I spent too much time arguing about this

but you hear those $fancy_principles / fp / hard oop / "clean code" evangelists, and then you go to any repo of real world software - linux, compilers, kubernetes, git, blablabla and everywhere you see for loops, goto, ladders of if statements
I have a similar strategy but Bash... "easy for anyone to read and edit"?

Heck no. Bash is a terrible language by modern standards, with obscure syntax, many weird quirks, no type checking, no return values... How could developers program in Bash before Shellcheck!?

I think that internally, I draw the line at around 100 lines. Even refactoring a program shorter than that it's not a pleasant experience (not difficult, but requires a great deal of attention, when compared to any modern language).

This article is a perfect example of the modern approach to race. The accusations of "racism" are not real, created from thin air. Which are then used to divide the population and spread hate.
The article says it's not straight vegetable oil, but lubricants "based" on vegetable oil, specifically with additives to address oxidation (going rancid).
I don't think anything can beat eBay. Especially if you are looking for second-hand, used, or refurbished tools/devices.
Because white is not a race, it’s used as a counterculture to the use of Black (previously also Negro and Afro), and historical evidence supports that. “Black” is only used as an identifier by that ethic group and their erasure of ethic identity. While African American is another term, within the culture of the of the group, it’s lacking once more an actual origin and lumps those who do actually know their African origins with those who don’t, leading to the premise of the self-codified ethic term Black. This term has been preferred by the National Association of Black Journalist since 2017 and was picked up by major newspapers and the AP only last year.
I've been lubricating my chainsaw with vegetable oil because one of its uses is chunking up wood for my smoker.
Digi-Key, Element14 (Farnell), RS Components and Mouser are all big suppliers that offer reasonably priced components in any volume you want. They're widely used by professional engineers for both retail and wholesale orders, as well as BOM cost estimates.

Octopart lets you compare prices across all of them (and more).

For components that you can tolerate the occasional issue with, AliExpress is also a plausible option.

Specifically for tinkering with FPGAs, I'd recommend looking into Numato. They're a small-ish business based out of India that produce cheap and cheerful FPGA boards. The products are well-made and support is great.

For the soldering station, I'd recommend just Googling "Hakko FX-888" and ponying up the US$100 or so to get one from a reputable supplier. There are cheaper products such as the YiHua 936 you can get for, say, $30 that seem similar to the Hakko on the surface, but all of them will break within 2 years while the Hakko will last many decades. If you're just getting started and don't want to drop $100, just stick to the $10 40W pencil irons and you'll be fine.

Whatever route you go, make sure to get good solder (e.g. Multicore). I used cheap DealExtreme solder for repairs back in the day, and after a couple of years all of the joints cracked and I had to re-do them. Some of the stuff had been repaired for friends and I'm sure at least some of it was binned. If you're strapped for cash, I would seriously recommend buying a cheaper soldering iron in order to get good solder.

Final thing, if you're looking for a cheap oscilloscope for getting started, check out EspoTek (disclaimer: I own the business). It's cheap and cheerful, and designed for newbies just getting into the hobby. A lot of effort has been put into the product, and it's still (semi) actively maintained on GitHub.
