IMHO this kind of list defeats its purpose. Being popular / having high rating in the popular services is definitely not an accurate marker of being "mind-expanding". In fact, I would expect most of them be rather safe/easy/conforming to what people find acceptable, therefore not challenging their minds. Just looking at the philosophy section of the list proves the point. Also the sci-fi part is surprisingly poor in substance — one would think that technical people should be well-versed in that particular genre.

I would prefer to read a list curated by a single "expert" person. Such a list would be shorter, more biased, but hopefully not so bland. For example, Eli Bendersky puts every now and then a nice summary of his impressive reading adventures.
I taught a lot of high school/junior high math for college students back in the day and typically the midterm exams and quizzes would get partial credit and the final was multiple choice. We had very specific rubrics for partial credit grading and this was typical of the classes that I took as well.

There's QBE (https://c9x.me/compile). It's tiny compared to LLVM and only does the most impactful optimizations, but it's also much simpler to work with. A small but dedicated community of language builders has gathered around it.
A societal veto is required unanimity. CA cities (though not commonly CA at the state level) use CEQA reviews and planning commission approval as a weapon to stall things. This leads to spreading out of people, ruining the environment, and low quality of life as worthwhile businesses are unable to start.

I will supply two specific examples to get started, but think of it like you would think of the Bechdel test: it speaks about the population in aggregate, not about individuals.

It's an interesting question because it hasn't been litigated before!

If you make/sell a Winnie the Pooh bear and Disney sues they can't make the claim that they own the copyright to it (anymore). What they could claim is that it's a trademark of theirs but that protection doesn't necessarily trump the fact that WtP is public domain now. So the courts will have to decide if trademarks can overrule works derived from the pubic domain.

Legally speaking I don't think that makes any sense. It feels like it's the equivalent of trying to get a trademark on a common word or phrase which you can do (in theory) but it has to be severely limited in scope and trying to litigate it is basically wishful thinking.
Whic makes me think if Microsoft can’t be bothered with their own frameworks why should I.
I wonder how they define a "civil aviation accident"? In places like Alaska, people routinely land at sites which are not airports. If someone has a hard landing, there could be some damage to the aircraft with no injuries. Do they investigate every one of those? It might be there are a lot of minor "accidents" that fall into grey areas. I don't know if that's the case, I'm actually curious if anyone knows.

> However double spend is a problem with just digital signatures that “retroactively obsoleted” NFTs.

As I already stated, this is not true. Nobody can stop an author from minting two different blockchain NFTs pointing to the same content, there's no difference between that and "double spending" a digital signature NFT. At the end of the day, the only thing the NFT does is prove "the author authorized this verbal statement of ownership", a digitally signed text file does exactly the same thing.
This reminds me of a recent comment (from another post) about borderline personality disorder and abusive parents (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29718798):

Do you have a timestamp for which part you're referring to? It looked like it was entirely recorded by GoPros attached to the air frame, the camera on his selfie-stick, or the GoPro on his wrist.
Strongly agree. A lot of choices are made in the use of language.

This happened a lot with the Jan 6th event. Some even proudly labeling it an insurrection when they made statements I noticed. It was like the language choice was used fearlessly.

The Covid headlines as you mention are another huge one. Ive heard surge so many times and it’s been completely remade into an indication of a massive spike no matter the real context.

Even if the cases really surging, I’ve always hated the use of words that take the ability away from the reader to tell for themselves what happened.

A similar issue is in finding raw video of events, like rittenhouse shooting. So much of the results were subjectively selected clips w the news anchors speaking over it. I don’t want to be told what happened, I want the raw facts.
This doesn't surprise me. The ministry of truth is working overtime.

This sentiment can be applied to all kinds of nonsense. Stop the steal comes to mind. The first conversation with the President in the Oval Office, in the movie, sounded exactly like 1 or 2 job interviews I had this year.

In specific regard to climate the article fails to distinguish that a climate disaster has a far lower probability of becoming a 99.7% planet killer in the next 6 months and 17 days. That difference in urgency and certainty are important.

That said I am not dismissing the concerns of environment destruction and climate devastation. They are critically important, but they are also very expensive and challenging to solve for operating most troubling over a period exceeding a century. When there are more immediate problems that can be fixed at a significantly smaller price tag those other concerns will garner greater attention.
This sounds really interesting. So, even if someone chooses to migrate to Emacs, they can still be in-practice with vim. So, when they need to work on someone else's computer or SSH into a server, they will still not lose any efficiency.

Begger is defined by begging not by what he has. Not all beggers are destitute.
As far as I know, ML-like languages use a saner approach to semicolon/brace-less syntax than Python.
That would rather put to waste the effort of scrubbing them, no?

A lot of the reason for the scrubbing isn't confidentiality of authorship per se (though obviously that's important), but rather optics. If people see a FOSS project described as being e.g. "created by the NSA", they'll get skeeved out of using it or contributing to it, even if the NSA is no longer involved (or is only involved in the sense that people who happen to work at the NSA contribute to the project as civilians, in their time off, without the goals of the NSA driving the contributions.)

Most of these opened projects are just a result of people in the organizations seeing a genuinely-good project that was created as a byproduct of some project — probably by some contractors that were actually decent for a change — that nobody internally can get the resourcing to maintain any more, and so is going to be canned and replaced — and thinking they can advocate to give it a new life as a civilian asset. People thinking of the public good, basically. If revealing the origins of the work would void that benefit to the public good, they'll fastidiously avoid doing so.
The thing that surprised me the most were the ones that apparently saw the tremendous stability problems of the entire concept and decided to add an unguarded airplane propeller to the front to make sure any instability results in disaster.

Look up "Prevayler" and the "system prevalence" pattern. It introduces occasional data journaling, and so it exists somewhere in between "serialize and persist the whole thing at once" and a full blown DBMS. But I've experimented with system prevalence in the past and decided that just "serializing and persisting the whole thing at once" like you've mentioned was simply a better solution.
I don't know a whole lot about skydiving or piloting (nothing in fact), but to each of your points:

> gave up too early

You and a couple other commenters mention this and not trying to land. Do we know how long it was before he gave up? Did he float 15 minutes before bailing after failing to restart, and that's just not included in the video? I understand landing on a small road would be possible in a plane like this, but since he's over mountains (3rd disclaimer, I don't know this area) - is it likely there would be roads available to him?

> skydiving rig

Is this because he is already a skydiver and/or was going paragliding (is this the same rig? Another thing I don't know). Would it make sense that this is just "what he has," as opposed to owning both a bail out and a sky diving kit?

> gopro on wrist

Wasn't it mounted on the plane dash, and he took it with him when he bailed?

> long/stable freefall

What is the norm for this? My thinking was this was to distance himself from the plane, which he later mentioned "came back around him" after he pulled.

I don't have any opinion either way, but I'm curious to know more about why some of these details are "give aways" on it being fake

Careful what you wish for. What should -7 / 2 return? -3 kind of makes sense, because 7/2 is 3.

It also desirable to have the remainder consistent with the result of division, such that x = d*r + mod, where r is the result of division. Combine that with the above requires negative mods.

If you want to retain your sanity and finances, unless someone can explain in one sentence a clear and obvious use for the technology, all of crypto can be explained as unhinged speculation and rug pulls. We're over ten years in at this point with insane investment and nothing has appeared.

My guess is that this is where the next financial crash will come from since it's totally unregulated and the "shadow banks" were mostly banned after 2008. All the shadow money just goes to crypto.
The only thing more annoying than libertarian crypto bros is progressives who don’t like crypto because people have made money off it or they see it as inherently right wing technology (the Soviet Union said that about computers originally, you can see how that worked out for them)

This makes sense.

This is also exactly what the ANSI ("Second edition") K&R book I have in front of me says.

It goes on to say: "x % y produces the remainder when x is divided by y" and that "the sign of the result for % are machine-dependent for negative operands, as is the action taken on overflow or underflow".

Personal spam control has its own issues. Managing the filter can end up consuming all of your time on the platform and that effort has to be replicated for every user. Worse, public perception will be that your platform is unusable because the horrendous first impression it makes.

So maybe you decided to make public filter lists, but then the people making the filters end up being the defacto operators of the platform and you're back to square 1.
In most countries, depending on severity of the event, the agency responsible for crash investigation can delegate investigation of the event to another entity.

Mind you, this is usually done for incidents, not accidents. However, sometimes an accident is clearly due to illegal operation, and sometimes that means that a) matter is passed directly to prosecution b) investigation is closed without conclusion due to explicit disregard of safety mechanisms, thus making further investigation useless to the purpose of aircraft accident investigation (under common rules from ICAO that NTSB also operates when it comes to aircraft)

>> you get somewhere near the airport, the instructor pulls the throttle back and says, "Your engine quit."

The first time mine did this was on downwind in the pattern. I looked forward at lots of farmland and said "how about there?" He pointed left and said "you got a perfectly good runway over there." I said "oh you really want me to do this, I better make my turn." IIRC I made the landing but not really near the numbers :-)
You can claim that about any otherwise reasonable argument. It works just as well for past (and current) civil rights issues as it does this. You need to instead apply a test of reasonableness. Doing that in this case is asking "Would a reasonable person believe that the government uses reported tax earnings for parallel construction?" to which I believe the answer is "yes."

That most judges are so morally bankrupt as to disagree with you is a separate issue.
I believe it uses a webgl 2d framework, like pixijs, though that might no longer be accurate.
Every sale is on the blockchain, so if somebody creates multiple sales of the same item, it would immediately be visible. Of course it depends on the implementation, how do you identify an object?

Leonardo could still create one NFT saying "this is ownership of my painting of the woman that always looks at the beholder" and another saying "this is ownership of my painting "Mona Lisa" and it would perhaps not be immediately clear that they are the same painting.

Nevertheless, that is the "minting" problem and not the "spending" (or transfer) problem.

Edit: HN does not allow me any more replies at this point, sorry.
I don't believe that there are no objective facts, but I do believe that we're generally pretty bad at observing objective reality and once we get above some level of complexity, "facts" isn't a good term. I don't think you need an attack on the value of truth and the existence of objectivity to have issues with "truths" about complex systems. We've had plenty of truths about the economy, and we've corrected them lots of times as well. If anyone asked you to fact-check some claim about the effects of raising the minimum wage to $25/hr, what objective truth do you look to? Do you ask 20 economists what their gut feeling is and say "that's it then"? Do you just reject the question?
> generally people say one should market their product first then build it if there's enough demand

I don't agree this is the common wisdom, and it's kind of a surprising take to see on this website specifically.
Indeed, but NFT enthusiasts would say that the replicas are not valid because they were not originally minted by the trusted author, of course, nothing is stopping the author from minting multiple NFTs of the same content so the point is moot.
That's more or less what the GP said. "If the technology is good" applies both to how well it works, but also how useful it is. Neither of those has a good answer yet. But the best way to see it being useful is to actually create an MVP and show it in practice, not through fancy words.
Ask HN: Can I get some advice for a new manager resume?
I've managed a data science team now for about a year and I'm looking to explore new opportunities. My first step is to update my resume but I am struggling with how to talk about what I do as a leader. My first draft has a lot of "led this project", "orchestrated that effort", "managed this system". I do not think my resume is coming off as being detailed. How should I be talking about projects that I am in charge of, but I am not the one doing the day to day work on?

For any given project, I meet with the business stakeholder and strategize on the goal and solution. I break the project out into milestones. Then I hand those off to an IC on my team. I give feedback on their implementation. I help them with code issues as they come up. I regularly meet with our partners and give status updates and timelines. I help the IC refine presentation materials. Finally I coordinate with other teams to get the solution put in a production environment.

Im struggling with how to write a resume that makes me look like a good management candidate and I'd appreciate any advice.

Thank you

Btw that code won’t work in the general case (where i could be less than -N). For that case you should probably do

r = ((i % N) + N) % N

There may be faster ways, but that should at least be correct for all inputs.
Note that, of course, zero is not "a positive number" since we're operating on the integers here and "signed" zero isn't a thing for either C or Python integers, but I think we all know what Carmack meant here.
Valid criticism.
As an OSS maintainer myself writing something like that on the bug tracker would make it less likely to be worked on as this indicates complete disregard for maintainer’s time and efforts.

I know for a fact that I have at least one trillion and multiple billion-dollar companies using a piece of my (somewhat obscure) software. Somehow they’re always the ones asking for urgent fixes and never the ones contributing patches.

Right. But there is one more point. We also plan to build coal-fired power plants, which are cleaner in terms of the total cost of ownership, decommission coal plants, build new gas-fired power plants, run them for only a few years, and then shut them down.

I've been using some vi-like since around 1990. I guess I'm still using a vi-like as I'm now using emacs with evil-mode for most things.

What got me to switch was developing in common lisp. I hear things have much improved, but at the time the best setup for vim was a really hacky tmux (or maybe gnu screen?) repl that was spawned and vaguely controllable from vim. I started by just using emacs as a lisp REPL on steroids, and then started to do more with it.

My fingers know more vim key combinations than my brain, and they refused to change for emacs. evil-mode didn't exist yet, so I settled on using viper (an older vi-like mode) and any time my muscle-memory did something that didn't work, I figured out how to add that particular key binding. It was super hacky, but Worked For Me to let me use emacs for lisp dev and vim for everything else.

From then on it was all downhill; there were so many things that you could do in vim, but were harder and the vim packages tended to be less polished than the emacs packages. Neovim seemed to recognize some of the issues with extending vim, but (at the time) was really a terminal-first editor. Now that I could switch between the two without my fingers complaining, when something was better on emacs, I added that to my "list of things I do with emacs."

Eventually most of what I do is in emacs rather than vim, and I reach for emacs first. I had to engrave some music for my son the other day; I've used lilypond (kind of LaTeX for music) in the past so I decided to try it with emacs. Turns out lilypond ships with an emacs mode that does all the basic things, plus registers a command for running lilypond on the current buffer. Tile my pdf viewer next to emacs and I can see the results with a single command.

I can (and have) set up a similar thing with vim, but the community around emacs seems to really take seriously that emacs is more of a gui toolkit with really good text support, while the parts of vim community is suspicious of any significant new functionality to vim that isn't specifically about editing text.
