Again, it's a download and a 'flash' in a GUI. Probably couldn't be simpler. As for reliability, my house has two of the same routers - one runs openwrt, the other runs the factory default (unfortunately it's not mine, so I can't just change it at will). Can you guess which is unreliable? It's the factory default.

This is not to mention the security implications of having a non-open source router. Never trust a third party like that. Some even try to get you to use an app.
https://github.com/widevinedump/NETFLIX-DL-6.0 seems to have just been replaced with https://github.com/widevinedump/NETFLIX-DL-6.1.0

Due to a bad connection the 6.0 clone didn't finish. So, naturally, I tried again and was receiving a login prompt....so I go to the URI in a browser and ... 404. But the 6.1 repo was available...
My goal: predispose myself to be receptive to the gift of inner transformation. I have four words that resonate these days: wise, thoughtful, mature, sane. As a Catholic Christian, I see a good deal of unwise, unthoughtful, immature, and insane Christianity, and also, albeit less vocally, a good deal of wise, thoughtful, mature, and sane Christianity. I have personally spent a disconcertingly large amount of time in the first of those places. I do see moments, perhaps even a bit more frequently theses days, of being in the second of those places. Best I can tell, Sturgeon's Law applies to religion just as it applies to everything else: "ninety percent of everything is crap." That being said, I am convinced that the other 10% of religion is rich, sublime, beautiful, and worthy. The first ultimately amounts to nothing, and the second everything. For my daily practice, I read the day's scripture passages from the Catholic Missal, and then do 20 minutes of centering prayer. The Trappist monk Thomas Keating's work is my main guide, along with Thomas Merton, James Finley, Richard Rohr, and Cynthia Bourgeault. Centering prayer is a simple practice of wordless receptive awareness of being in God's presence, and an openness to God's ongoing work within and without.
You can still get and transmit COVID if you are vaccinated. The vaccine merely reduces the effects of it so it is less potent to you.

That aside I am not sure I really disagree with your assertion that many are just calling in sick. It is awfully suspicious that many people got COVID at the same time, but they are exposed to people from all over the world on a daily basis so maybe they are the "canary in the coal mine".
Surprises from Dumping Alligators in the Sea
Gonna chime in here to comment that most NASA missions (and ESA too) provide the scientific data for download free of charge, under Public Domain or CC licenses. If it's for scientific purposes, it's not just good manners, but rather a requirement to cite the proper dataset (that also gives you the bonus of citing a respected source, so it's a win-win). Thing is that many people doesn't even know where to look for!

And it doesn't help that some missions manage their own archives differently, and there's a lot of terminology to learn on your own. One of the complete opposites of that, which was a joy, was the New Horizons archive which, at one point, you could download from a torrent! For example, if you wanted to see V3 of the Arrokoth encounter from 2019, you'd go to: https://pdssbn.astro.umd.edu/holdings/nh-a-lorri-3-kem1-v3.0...

Again, New Horizons is a bit of a rare case in which they went for super accessible data for everyone. PDS itself is a great system, but many missions will just upload a bit of data to PDS and then manage the rest some other way (Cassini for example has only a couple of instruments on PDS, and you have to go to some other URL if you want uncalibrated but automatically processed images on JPEG format[0], but yet another place (to which I've lost the link to and I can't find on mobile) for the full, science-grade dataset).

A great resource is OPUS[1] too, however I find it's UI a bit difficult, and in the end I prefer to download full datasets and just explore them on my own rather than going with those online browsers. For example, if you wanted to check the Voyager images of Neptune, you'd go to this massive URL[2]. Quick tip: once you've configured the filter you want to apply, the Search button is on the top left -- this is the kind of usability thing I mentioned, buttons and links aren't quite where you'd expect them. Oh and there's a limit to how many things you can select for download at once. And it's all dynamically loaded, and on and on and on. Which is why, as I said before, I generally prefer to just download the full GB sized dataset and explore it on my own.

several solutions may be possible.
Simplest would be to delete payloads associated to entries. While the actual data won't be there, it will still be possible to build cryptographic proofs.
Then it's possible to prune by physical deleting entire transaction data, which may or not affect proof generation. However, tampering will still be subject to detection.
> What do you need to do with them? All my data is UTF-8, and low level code is generally parsing, which doesn't involve any of those characters.

For example, file names on MacOS are Unicode. Depending on how low level your code is and what parsing it does, you will run into issues because UTF-8 will not save you.

> I think Unicode on the server or CLI is very different than Unicode on the desktop/GUIs.

This is a non-sensical statement. It's the same Unicode. Yes, you won't have all the same use cases as a GUI, but Unicode is the same.

The best example I have for when things are not handled is not strictly Unicode-related. WiFi SSIDs are 32 octets. That is any byte value at all. Recent standard modifications allow devices to specify whether the SSID is in UTF-8.

And yet. Too many devices assume that, basically, " All my data is UTF-8, and low level code is generally parsing, which doesn't involve any of those characters", and Internet is full of people asking questions like "cannot connect to WiFi with non-English SSID"
Personally I combine a hash of something site-specific, eg. name, purpose etc and a base alphanumeric string. Allows each account have their own specific credentials while not being overly burdensome to remember.
Phil is a great person and previously had director of engineering/product roles at Digital Ocean, Meetup/Wework, and Soundcloud. It's not worth dismissing his advice out of hand :)
Indeed, the normal threshold for whether a contract was/is an AGB (stnadard form contract; allgemeine geschaeftsbedingungen = general rules of business ~ TOS) is whether it was practically negotiable.
It might be even more jarring when a population two years from now is hit by a flu they didn't get almost any exposure to this year. There is a complexity here that is hard to wrap your head fully around.
Truth is one, paths are many.
I mostly dislike infinite scroll and am irritated when I see visual things load after the page loads. I also don’t see the point in SPAs for regular websites. The modern web looks better, but sometimes the experience is worse, at least for those of us who were around before. Of course by this I don’t mean actual applications or games on the web. Just standard websites.
I'm sure it does but I am sure sham injections help too.
I've suffered since the age of 21, but the attacks are less frequent these days (I'm 35). I do not take any painkillers for it, even OTC. I have tried 6 or 7 "professionally-made" mouth guards, some of which cost thousands. None of them helped and would actually make it harder to sleep at night. I instead deal with it by using heat, massage (full body is key), exercise, and nutrition.

For the record, I am also blown away by how incompetent the medical and dental professions are at treating this. Tap your teeth on a piece of paper? Puh-leeze, that does nothing when your joints or muscles shift at different times of the day, and maybe 1 in 5 dentists actually know how to properly account for that based on my experience dealing with them over the years. And swear to god, if I hear another licensed and credentialed dentist describe my joint hypermobility as "your jaw is weird", I'm going to shit a brick.
>but I was 7 when I realised that religion was not only bullshit but actually dangerous as it represents a way for people to justify reprehensible acts

Fatal overdoses are up 19k, not 50k[1]. And car fatalities are also up, not down, as discussed extensively in other threads.

This was exactly what happened to me. Certain tp-link routers made specifically for Italy got bricked if you installed OpenWRT on them.
Remembers me of a short text by Julio Cortazar (Argentinian writer) titled "Instructions on how to climb a staircase" (1962):

Tagging along, as this resonated as similar to my journey. Happy to chat.
Why ask me? I'm not really into the politics of whether Google is interested in "running" Android (clearly they are doing it and getting massive gains from having the most popular OS on the planet, what even is it supposed to mean that they're not "interested" or "running it") or who John is. I'm just a humble user that would like control of the device that touches on so many aspects of life.
That was your takeaway? Mine was entirely different. Here are some things I took away:
ADUs and in-law units are great.
It’s too hard for a group of friends to buy an apartment building. They had to masquerade as a slumlord to do it. That’s probably a failing in laws and policies.
Buying property is a viable strategy to rise in this society.
Buying land and building a house is possible, but harder than it should be.
It’s possible to buy damaged property, make it livable and rent it to people who want it without selling your soul.

I’ve got some money in the stock market that would probably serve humanity better if I bought some unlivable property and spent the time and money to make it livable. Not sure if I want to be a landlord, but the first part appeals to me. We need more housing and I’d love to put my resources behind that effort.
Yes, we need sweeping policy changes too. Link me your proposal and I’ll give it a read.
qsort is a horrible function, and infamously so. First, since it's part of the C stdlib, it is almost universally dynamically linked, precluding any chance for it to be inlined, and even worse, it calls a function pointer.

Even ignoring performance, it has no support for checking the types, which in C means it can easily mess up memory badly. For example, I can call `qsort(arrayOfInts, num, sizeof(float), funcThatComparesTwoStrings)` and I'll get a really bad time, with absolutely no way for the compiler to tell me I'm doing something obviously wrong.
Suicide rates are tricky since mental health can have long lasting issues and the societal changes from lockdown will have even longer term effects. How do you attribute a suicide 2 years from now to depression that started during COVID? It’s going to be interesting seeing how the psychology field approaches this.
You only know if something is legally solid when it is tested in court. The GPL has had very little testing, because violations are mostly secret, in China, or not worth suing over.
+1 to this. I was homeschooled K-8, and the loneliness I experienced then puts a significant strain on my relationship with my parents to this day.

I think I agree with the parent comment when I say that homeschooling seems to be looking for pennies of potential academic advantage in front of the steamroller of serious maladjustment.
You will have a taste for it within the first 2-3 chapters, it engages with the colonialist legacy that led to Sapiens and other similar works from the start
I think the warez ‘golden age’ was 1995-2015.

Before that most of the protections were just not that severe (and thus interesting), and after 2015 Steam, Netflix and Spotify severely stemmed the influx of people being exposed to piracy and thus potentially going deeper into the culture.

Tangentially related but I think that’s also why in a strange way the advent of the smartphone and other ‘curated technological experiences’ has lowered computer literacy for the average person born after ~1995.
What happens if you have some data that absolutely _must_ change or be deleted? For example, a record gets committed with something sensitive by mistake.
sure, but you aren't going to run out of compiler tokens unless you are trying to do something really crazy, like generate a precompiled table of prime numbers, as I have done. And I don't think you use them up in general, just when your compiler is taking certain branching operations (i don't actually know what the rules are)... I believe you can have a long program that consumes as many tokens as a short program, if their typesystems are the same and you don't ever use compile-time branches in the functions you're writing.
One perspective to consider is the length of these restrictions. Other countries have had years of lockdowns and restrictions. New Zealanders were going to concerts while the world was in lockdown. Even if New Zealand's restrictions have been strict the restrictions have been intermittent and only in some regions
> Game services aren’t allowed to give away games for free.

I mean, they obviously are, which is about 95% of the reason I even have an account on EGS, but…

> With NFTs you have a framework of ownership and both the entry on Steam and the one on GoG become the same thing.

Which is why neither Steam nor GoG would have any interest in adopting those NFTs.
I wonder what the median age for overdose deaths are compared to covid deaths.
I think you might be missing the fact that it's an airborne virus at pandemic levels. Regional restrictions can't work because people can just move and spread it everywhere, including places where local inhabitants don't want to "accept the risk".
Win2k has 16-bit colour in the tray icons. You can enable 32-bit colour if you hex the explorer.exe.

I've used this program before:

Note: It will timeout when it tries to download the database.

If you want to manually patch it yourself, open explorer.exe in a hex editor and edit this:

Windows will overwrite your changes since it has file protections. You can fix that via:

Clearly we both agree it's an insecure practice, since you felt it needed a warning.

Now that you know there's an official LastPass importer for 1Password, I'm curious why you're defending your version rather than updating your blog post, unlinking your original HN comment and deprecating the GitHub repo.

I believe you're genuine and just trying to help. If there's an attack, it wouldn't be you doing it – it'd be someone else replacing the binaries on an old 2017 post without you noticing. WordPress is just as insecure as phpBB. Like the other commenter said, "Just because you put a warning label on a bad practice doesn't mean it's a good practice."

I have been playing around with the M1 Pro for compute by making some toys that take advantage of its hardware directly, mostly in arm64 asm and c. I won’t pretend I was able to get every cycle optimized—I’m still working on the code—but it’s great so far.
Hey,

1. Our models act as building blocks for various feature apis/algos, but embeddings are required for all tasks. We have one major task which a user request sends their business items (think documents / docIds), anywhere from 1-10,000s — here we have to quickly retrieve those. We do also do a deep retrieval (basically ANN) Which requires no lookup.

2. First batch of embeddings was 4.2TB, last reduced down to ~400GB. Not sure if ssd/embedded db (leveldb) is still best but still works fine. Embeddings grow larger weekly - through business process generation (we do a big write once a week). but also through user processing — for these we actually store in mongo since they work best there / usually user specific / and are generated ad hoc so it doesn’t make since to re-shard leveldb embeddings.

3. We use active/passive feedback mechanisms. Think thumbs up/down for active, and contextual analysis for passive (did good things happen after AI use).

#3/ your last question is the hardest. We have a small data science team figuring out the best way to build fine-tuning sets. But the production model training is vastly different and more reliable. This is the classic stability/plasticity problem. We have yet to successfuly fine tune the model with feedback data. But we have informed how to better train the model. The best case scenario will likely be as-hoc/user-specific mechanisms to change results in real-time / based on current context collected (think tiktok algo, or knows what you’re in the mood for but knows how to bounce out or keep things well varied to keep your attention).
I did the exact same thing with a spreadsheet. Pursuing only the few roles I could keep in my head at a time was not keeping me busy and was letting a lot slip through the cracks. It was incredibly helpful to take a systematic approach, to track who I'd talked to, save references to job descriptions and background information, and to separate by tech stack, locale, etc.
I have had many similar experiences. A recruiter contacts me via email regarding an open position, I ask for details in the email reply. They send me an email back saying we should schedule a call so they can answer my questions. I’m not even asking hard questions just “what is the salary range”, “when are you looking to fill the position”, “how many are on the team”, etc.

I usually don’t waste my time with recruiters who don’t answer the most basic questions via email.
I hadn't heard of it, but he also had Director titles at Meetup, WeWork, and DigitalOcean, which I very much have. (Also Buoyant, but I don't recognize that one either.)
Fair; I get that if we're simulating a physical system and just trying to be as faithful as possible, the virtual one will look just like the physical one, and inherit its limitations.

But I guess by "this" I mean "making the sounds I want to make". If I'm interested in composing modular software components into a synth without regard to its physical analog, a wider range of designs is available for how "composition" or even "component" are reified. But the patch-cables-between-2d-boxes paradigm still seems dominant in that domain too, from my casual browsing of it.
What the heck are the OpenDAO and its SOS token?
Same. Used to think they were ugly. Now they're my go-to shoe.
I have a framework and love it. The major downside are the speakers.

I have a feeling it's a sales tactic which seeks to purposely use up a candidate's time with the hope that the candidate falls victim to the sunk cost fallacy.

Desired inner monologue I think they hope to generate in us: "I've already spent 3 calls and a couple of hours talking to <recruiter>, so I might as well continue on with the process lest I end up wasting all that time."

disclosure: I'm a dev and not a recruiter, so take this with a grain of salt.
As we've amply experienced over the last 18 months, a disease can simultaneously be mild (in perceived short-term illness) for most people and kill and incapacitate millions of people. These are not disjoint conditions for a global pandemic, and mild illness in many is not itself a sufficient condition for ignoring the harm done to millions.

And, to be blunt: "I didn't say the word 'Holocaust' when I compared COVID to the efficient cause of the Holocaust" is not a plausible excuse.
> Clojure did away with `car` and `cdr`, but it also did away with the ability to make plain pairs from `cons`.

And it also means that more things than lists can be accessed as sequences using iterators.

The whole "Have to recurse the entire chain to figure out if something is terminated with nil/() and therefore a list" is part of the reason why everybody bangs on about tail recursion instead of just writing an imperative loop.
>Fixing the kind of poverty you find in Sweden is much much harder though, we don't know how to fix that.

It's not a question of how, it's a question of whether you care.

For example, I have recently read an article about whether inflation or unemployment is worse and it is quite obvious that unemployment is worse. However, a reader comment pointed out that inflation impacts everyone and therefore people will vote for less inflation even if it is at the expense of people who are on the margin who get a job because of inflation.

It's the same with housing. People vote for exclusive zoning policies that screw anyone who is born too late.

In other words, we already know how these problems can be solved but we consider having poverty an acceptable trade off for getting other things we want.
Another data point, same deal.

That setting is essentially malware and it’s a huge shame that android added it.
“Works on my machine” isn’t a very constructive response. You have a lot more work than that to do if you don’t get the right hardware. It’s decent if you don’t change the defaults, I guess but then what’s the point?! Try installing almost any package and sometimes it will just lock up.

An actual misconfigured/buggy router is a bigger security concern for me than a potential back door. Also, what makes you think open source software matters if the hardware is closed? Do you have a pine router or something?
This works for me: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C3IXMTpWcAAPEQG.jpg
Dependent types go beyond what Zig does by removing the distinction between comptime variables and runtime variables (so types can depend on runtime variables). Zig goes beyond dependent types in the sense that the comptime/runtime distinction allows Zig to handle all comptime values at compile time, which is important for efficiency. It would be interesting to combine the two approaches, via partial evaluation or staging.
That only goes for countries that consider public transit to be for the poor or extremely dense urban environments where cars couldn't work. It's far from the case worldwide. ( Of course I'm not talking about small villages with a population in the hundreds, but towns in the thousands should have public transit connections).
It is a nice attempt to show this in a novel way but overall the data and presentation did not work for me. All of the scrolling was a turn off and didn't really help highlight or inform me of anything I didn't already know.

I was able to scroll right buy many data points and graphs that were embedded. Maybe it would be helpful to give the user a play button where it scrolls at a consistent pace and stops at the appropriate points. It is too much scrolling and too easy to go past areas/sections.
