> Not at all. Americans reduce many /d/s and /t/s to a flap, which is much weaker than a [d].

Fair enough.

When most American pronounce "city", I hear "siddie". What's going on there? Is that a flap?
> TicToc, Instagram and Twitter dominating large parts of the web

For my part, I'm glad these fora aren't indexed well; I don't want my search results dominated by single-sentence posts and photos. In particular, I don't have accounts on any of these services.

I'd be happy if search engines would decline to index sites behind paywalls. Links to Medium, Substack and Washpo are very common, and if the first thing I see is a popup demand for payment, that browser-tab gets closed.
Well you still didn't told us whats your position is, but maybe you can answer my question:

HOW GoF helped us to fight Covid? How the process that most likely played a huge role of creating the virus also helped us fighting it? Everyone how defends GoF tells us plebs, it helps us to fight future epidemics, but no one give us an example how it is helping the current one.
Some people choose to serve on juries out of a sense of civic responsibility and don’t seek exclusion.
Fun fact: this pdf was paywalled, but thanks to some generous members of my Twitter, it was able to be freed. I look forward to a day when all such work is available to anyone who wants it.

Normally I’d have something else to add, but I feel down lately, and it’s nice to see that I’m able to help with one or two things that matter.

I was mostly surprised that the paywall model still persisted in 2021.
From what I understand, the term "serverless" is usually used for "on-demand pricing of computational resources (such as CPU, RAM, and bandwidth)."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serverless_computing

Shared hosting is usually much more straightforward in many ways, including flat-rate pricing.
Is this surprising? I would expect this to be the case based on two factors - one, SL’s much longer availability to end users and the much lower friction to acquiring items and two, the much smaller initial buy-in cost of SL items. Even a “free” ethereum NFT is going to cost a user over $100 for gas alone!
Classic pics, thanks for sharing. I’d love to see the full quote in the first photo. It almost reminds me of Office Space.
SMART (fastest substring search algorithms) https://smart-tool.github.io/smart/ is up for several years. EPSM, by S. Faro and O. M. Kulekci still the fastest known strstr method, and they still come up with their own.

> You need to distinguish between what _can_ be done and what _needs_ to be done.

This is a very insightful comment. For my last project, I spent a long time doing the opposite of this. A good lesson to learn.
“Minimal code to put pixels on the screen?” is a question I’ve seen often enough that I’ve made a little gist to link whenever it comes up. https://gist.github.com/CoryBloyd/6725bb78323bb1157ff8d4175d... It requires https://www.libsdl.org/ But, making a window and putting some pixels in it, on all the world’s varied platforms, is the premier feature of that lib.
> The majority of the the piece goes to arguing exactly that. What's the counter?

To the person you're quoting's benefit, there is evidence given, but it doesn't convince them. That's all they are saying.
I think once their is some population immunity, that you start to put more effort into confirming people really are infectious. It's partially why I don't think the CDC rules about not requiring a test after the fifth day really matters in most places in the United States - 20+% of people in the general population are already infected in places like New York. Wearing a mask for 5 days after quarantining for 5 days, while not ideal - ensures that our medical and logistic and other critical systems keep working for the next 3-4 weeks.
Cancelling is what happens to TV shows when they stop airing or being produced.

That was the meaning before “cancel culture” and was the intent of the parent.

I didn’t at all read it the way you did, maybe I’m older than you and I’ve seen more shows cancelled. (Firefly, for a famous enough example)

No. I use continuation passing and a trampoline in my eval core. This allows all sorts of manipulation of what would be the stack in a recursive model, call/cc exception-with-handler dynamic-wind they're all operations on continuation stacks

I don't do formal continuation passing, I return continuations where necessary. I believe that the Sussman and Steele used an actor model

So if a built-in needs to evaluate something, instead of recursively calling eval or apply, it returns an object that says, please call this function, with this environment and these args, and (if necessary) send the result to this other function with that env and those args etc.

In the eval, those continuations are just kept as a stack, the top is popped and evaluated, if it returns a stack, they are pushed onto the head of the stack, when the stack is empty the eval is complete.

Call/cc simply bundles that continuation stack into an object which can be called, and when it is called, it replaces whatever is in the continuation stack at that time with the stack that it was created with

The continuation stack frames are gc objects like everything else, so they're collected once nothing references them
What utter crypto-nerd fantasy rubbish.
It's obviously subjective, but:

- mice don't live as long as humans (a dead human is more years of lost life than a dead mouse)

- mice don't mourn each other, and these mice couldn't anyway because they'll all be dead soon

- in nature, mice typically die violent deaths anyway, so lab mice usually aren't suffering worse than a wild mouse would

- mice don't get sick and suffer for years, becoming a burden to their family and society

- mice don't fear their premature deaths for months or years

I mean, I can go on and on. Knowledge of the past and future gives humans a significantly greater propensity for suffering than other animals.
The Chinese vaccine is totally shit though in terms of efficacy compared to other vaccines, and in fact, where I live the Chinese vaccines aren't accepted any longer if you need to travel etc.

> No dynamic memory allocation = no garbage collector, no non-deterministic allocation/deallocation, no write barriers, no out-of-memory possibilities, no fragmentation. For a surprisingly large class of programs, this is a great situation!

I know you know this already, but your statement is a little too broad. Those problems all still exist, but are greatly reduced. Data structures still need to be compacted, caches evicted, scratch space cleared, etc. It is just that one class of intractable issues gets removed when dynamic memory allocation goes away.

On a side note, have you seen this? https://github.com/udem-dlteam/ribbit

The point about academic research is freedom, in every possible meaning. Including not using the right tools for the job. This ensures "natural selection" of the ideas, processes and workflows that actually work.
I do the same reddit.com trick, but for TVs and headphones (and anything else they cover), I can wholeheartedly recommend rtings.com.

They're in Montreal. They buy their products retail. They get their funding through subscriptions and affiliate links. Overall ratings are formulaic based on measurements applicable to the category. The formulas are available on the site. So are all the test designs.

They're surprisingly thorough too--when I was shopping for some over-ear headphones I really appreciated that they measured the clamping force (when you wear glasses, something that clamps onto the arms too hard gets really uncomfortable pretty quickly) and breathability (temperature differential between your ears and ambient when wearing the headphones). These are pretty important for all-day comfort but don't really factor in most of the time.

Their methodology is all available:

Actually, Juicero over promised AND over delivered, just in the wrong way.

I saw tons of teardowns of their machine saying how over-engineered it was for something that squeezes a bag of precut fruits and veggies.
Out of curiosity, how do you have 350k users for AnExplorer and only earn $50k/yr if it's selling for $10/copy?

(I'm just wondering if there are some unseen costs or something to selling an app for a fixed cost like this.)

> Guys, you don’t need to use opensea to buy/sell NFTs. That’s the magic. It’s just one NFT exchange.

This is also true of selling on Amazon, but being banned from Amazon (or even just losing search ranking) also kills lots of small business.

It's also true of email, and yet you essentially can't use email anymore if Gmail decides to block you.

There can be de facto centralization, even if a technology does not require centralization. Humans really like centralization -- it's convenient.
It's a bit like Al Capone being done for tax evasion rather than murder - you convict them on the charges that have the most evidence and are likely to stand up in court, even if they are lesser charges from a criminal and moral standpoint.

I don't think you should be criticizing reverse engineering here any more than you should be criticizing programming, science, skill, studying, engineering, logic, thought, changing your mind when you're wrong, or any of the other basic aspects of hacking. You're as out of place here as someone complaining about how nerds study all the time, get better grades than you do, and know how to fix their computers while you're stuck paying someone else to do it. You come off as a troll posting deliberate flamebait in hopes of getting a rise out of us.

Of course badly done reverse engineering can be bad. But that's not because it's reverse engineering; it's because it reaches incorrect conclusions that hurt people, just like not doing any reverse engineering at all. The problem that put people at risk in this case wasn't that Theranos did reverse engineering; it's that they didn't do enough reverse engineering.
So ban a huge part of the CSS box model. Got it... Margins are valid in many use-cases, specifically many people leverage them for typography. They can even still be valid with component-driven development as well.
Restoring old computers I have been surprised on how much those old UIs sucked bad compared with how I remember them:

I love the Amiga but the Amiga Workbench? Horrible with its useless bar minimizing, a button to put a windows on top (how do you put a window on top when the button is covered by another window?!), Only one way to resize a window from the bottom right...

Old X window systems: bump the mouse and your focus is gone, it is basically a UI system you need to use from the command line.

Atari ST one? One application out of 2 asks you to manually change the resolution to be able to run...

From all the ones I tried out from this era, only the Classic Mac feels usable TBH.

Don't get me started on the old ball powered mice, they sucked. Even one in a very good working condition and cleaned up is a such a huge pain to use today...
Google owns the largest online advertising network though, so that’s definitely not where their bread is buttered.
Yeah that was sketchy right from the pitch.

But even with the established PCR tests and with all the theatre around it, I doubt that this quantity of testing is being performed up to the highest standards and there are a bunch of "entrepreneurs" in this space too who may benefit from little supervision or consequences.

Well nearly all of Silicon Valley are woke. May be Facebook being the exception.
Our justice system is terrible. Look at the huge racist disparities like 5-10x rate of incarceration of Black people for weed, even though Whites use weed at similar rates. Then the for profit prisons, ridiculously high sentences, appalling prison conditions, and mass incarceration of 21% of the world's prison population.
Startups do NOT regularly re-package other companies' deliverables as their own, and especially not to cover for the fact that they've promised the impossible.
Since your interval begins at a divisible by 10 boundary, this makes things easier

If you think only about the numbers divisible by 2, 3, 5 you'll get a result pretty close to 23 (21 actually). But you can elaborate the proof to get to a closer number

(just remember that after you take 100/2 and 100/3 you need to add back 100/6 which are the ones you counted twice and so on)

If you make your telescope big enough, you can use a collection of optically flat mirrors.

Maybe put them on independently orbiting satellites that station-keep with ion rockets. Or, in a space frame formed of nanowires, with the nodes individually charged electrically to repel one another, maintaining the wires in tension.
Jetbrains adds tags like "commited to VCS", "test failed/succeeded",

> I'm actually going to bookmark this conversation as a discussion piece because there's a lot to unpack here, you've been very candid.

Funny, you've got the same attitude of condescending moral superiority as the demographics I mentioned too. You act as if you speak for all people of color (as a white person), who need to be defended by you, the savior. You probably consciously think you're just trying to help. Unfortunately you're not the first person of this type I've encountered on HN.
Strangely enough, I had thoroughly rebutted your first claim and the implications of the second in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29792057 before you wrote your comment. I have now updated the comment to quote yours as well and to include additional evidence.
It doesn’t take place in 1999. The plaque aboard the Nebuchadnezzar says it was built in 2069, so it’s at least that far in the future and almost certainly further since it probably wasn’t the machines commemorating the date.
That issue with tax breaks is the same basically everywhere in the world. In the US, you would typically have to talk to a professional to understand if you are eligible for so and so tax break, it's very easy to get it wrong yourself.

As far as labor laws, there are few developped countries in the world where they are more permissive for freelancers. In almost every single one of them, there exist even worse roadblocks.

That's not to say the process couldn't be improved, but the competition isn't so much better as one would think.

That's it. No messing around with git; protects files that are not in git, and can save you even in he face of "rm -rf .* *".
I am not deep into the topic. Is that maybe because of a SIMD variant is possible in one algorithm and not the other. .NET is doing a lot of processor specific optimization right now and getting from that it's current speed. On pure paper approach, SIMD is not a thing but on processors it is.

Just waking up. Maybe I am completely off.
If the early internet were set up like the banking system currently is with pay-to-play rules and relationships, we would probably still be using AOL, Yahoo and Excite to search the web.

The key change with the internet was that the open access to information fostered competition.

So yeah maybe OpenSea makes some questionable governance choices, but at least the underlying information is accessible via the public blockchain making it easy for competitors to emerge. New ideas can be tried in parallel without complex business arrangements.

of course if the NFT you're buying is ultimately just an opensea URL, well then I think there's a saying about fools and money.
FPL: Fast Presburger Arithmetic Through Transprecision
Searching "Barcelona" I get the wikipedia for Barcelona city on position 2.
While I don't subscribe to the neoliberal idea of globalization being great for the global poor, I think it is quite telling that very few countries managed to get rich purely through internal means. Barring a few minor exceptions, countries either became rich through exploitation of other countries (Western Europe, colonial nations and Japan), or by using global markets to drive growth through exports (SK, Taiwan, PRC and a few others).

The majority of the jobs you call slavery are indeed in horrible conditions, but still better paying than substistence farming, thus being one of the ways people can break the circle of poverty.

Exploitation needs to be weighed and reigned in, but rather than taking industry back home, it would be better to just make sure that workers in poor countries are also paid fair wages.
If Instagram stories were a company, it's revenues would put it in the top 700 of companies worldwide. That's a product.
Here is my interpretation:

Venn diagram shows the set of outcome of an experiment. But in many real world situation the set of outcome of an experiment is too large or difficult to work with. I think Venn diagram approach is very helpful if you finite set of outcome of an experiment that you can write/generate and draw/color those sets.

It's right that P(B|A)P(A) is not intuitive, but if it is replaced by P(B cap A) or P(A cap B) suddenly you are back to the definition of probability of an event. Calculating P(B) using the law of total probability was very illuminating for me.
A more accurate title for this blog post would be “Ban Outer CSS Margins from Components”.
Well, there is a pyramid of sound quality effects:
Sound transducer (and room if applicable), ampliifer (incl. its power conditioning sometimes), DAC or source.

The standard HiFi stance is that source should have no effect on DAC and vice versa, but some weird or old hardware does not do it right. Likewise DAC and amplifier shouldn't affect each other.
Amplifier and transducer is a bit more complex due to analog electronics involved.

Of course the source can be garbage too (e.g. bad resampling or compression), but reasonable sources are all the same if digital. Except when we're talking vinyl or something, where there's another transducer and amplifier involved.
I work for an American company, yes. I'm not remote, though. I work in the local timezone from a Southern Asian location :)
Heh yeah it sounds nonsensical like that. Ill explain! I mean going beyond average home cooking. Exploring cuisines and history of other cultures. Think more like tied to traveling. Like during the covid lock downs I spent a lot of time learning thai and sichuan cuisines as much as I could. I don't think without actually visiting those places, and spending time there to be immersed, talking to chefs I can never say I really know those cuisines. I cant even reliably get the ingredients in the US.

Also I cant really go train with top chefs in the world and get feedback and learn. Home cooking is a hard thing to share besides glamouring up things for like instagram. I can cook pretty well, probably put together a better meal then most local restaurants, but there's still a large gap between what I can cook and some of the places Ive eaten at just in technique and espcially creativity. I don't think I can close that gap.
Everyone in the blockchain space self-publishes all relevant material hence a journal like this is completely pointless. It also slows down the rate of publishing by requiring ridiculously tedious formatting requirements all so a self-elected panel of experts can deem if a piece of content is worthwhile. Of course, to get through this process we end up with a 'paper' with no runnable code, and its considered a good academic result even if no users ever benefit from it. Waste of time, just a circle jerk for status.

Also didn't even mention the most important part: that major contributions to the blockchain space have notably come from outsiders. No thanks to these 'academic' 'experts.'
For the "processing," did you learn from someone, watch youtube videos, just... figure it out?

How was the first time? After doing it for years, is it just mechanical to process them?

It sounds really rewarding, but getting over the initial hump of doing the processing yourself is a big unknown to me.
That's a fair point; I forgot about those. That said, the earlier comment was on conversion metrics. Unlike brand advertising, brands track conversion metrics on coupons closely.

I stand by my point that tech just exposed a bad business model. Newspapers were only viable because they were the ~only game in town.

Now what actually killed newspapers wasn't search, it was Craigslist killing the classifieds...at least according to a study Google paid for.

SEO is perfectly legal. So is spamming, regrettably.

I think Goo no longer cares about the quality of search results; they have other business priorities, so SEO works. Spam is another thing again; we still, after 30 years, don't have an agreed definition of spam. We still don't have a flawless spam filter - far from it. So it astonishes me how much email spam I get promoting SEO services for my non-existent website.
Chicken+beer is by far the most popular type of restaurant in SK. The only thing more common is coffee shops. It is, I think, also the most popular food for catering and delivery.

Korean fried chicken is rather different from American. They use tiny birds and the coating doesn't seem to have any seasoning. Flavor comes from a choice of dipping sauces.

KFC is in SK, but I don't see many of them. Unless Popeyes offers beer, I don't see them taking the market by storm.
Written communication, with a special focus on “writing for an audience” (and by that I mean understanding what your audience needs and not trying to impress them). My company is now almost entirely remote and my team works with a lot of internal stakeholders. Being able to write clearly in a way that makes sense to your target audience is seriously underrated. Some people may think it’s “just” IM and Email but it makes a huge difference, at least for me.
