It's funny, because MMPR is an Americanized "Tokusatsu" show. In fact, the original series was a re-cut Tokusatsu show, with American actors spliced in between Japanese action scenes and props.

Some notable examples are Giant Robo, Kamen Rider, and Kikaider.

They are children's television shows that are, lets face it, trash.

But, they find an audience. The shlockyness, the cheesy rubber suits, the bad acting, and the razor-thin plots all serve one purpose: To get two people into rubber suites so they can smash up a cardboard city and set off some squibs and pyrotechnics.

Do they exist to sell toys? of course. But, they were also made by teams of people all making music, designing suits, building props, planning pyrotechnics, acting, doing stunts ( driving and physical ), choreographing fights, and designing the "monster of the week."

There is a humanity to these shows. They are cheesy little guerilla operations doing the best they can with a small budget.
I could be missing something but my example does as well since it's a method level generic:

Name nameKey = ...;
Age ageKey = ...;

Optional<String> name = db.get(nameKey);
Optional<Integer> age = db.get(ageKey);
I ran a startup that I shut down a few years ago that was designed to do something very similar to this. It is dead now but the site is up at https://refinery.io (docs have screenshots)

What I figured out is that... it's really hard to get this type of thing right. The more generic something is, the less useful it is. Zapier is a pretty amazing tool but it's also incredibly difficult to write all of their integrations. This tool suffers from a lot of the same problems (integrations are where the value is).

It's cool to see others talking about this though. It makes me want to Open Source the core tech we used to build Refinery (including the half-baked version that uses Temporal for long-running action sequences).

Thanks for the reminder about this!
I was probably in third grade when I saw the movie. I hugely let down by it. My young self would have agreed with Ebert's review. It was just an extended episode, and the episodes were not known for their depth. My friends didn't like the movie either. It may be a coincidence but that was the year I grew out of Power Rangers.

We do children a disservice by insulting their intelligence.

> Well, it's even worse than that, they caused a breaking change in Java

What breaking change? They implemented type erasure specifically not to break existing code.
Same situation here. Have you done the research yet to decide on a new service, or are you planning on starting to pay?

For me ideally I would like to move to something else (even paid) just because someday Google deciding to block me for whatever reason scares me quite a bit after having everything for the last decade attached to this account. I would like to export my emails, switch my domain to the new service, and import everything - but I have no idea how realistic that will be yet.

Most of his guests are nothing like that. His interview with Brian Cox (the physicist) is one of my personal favourites, to give one of many examples. Sure, sometimes he's got relatively kooky people on, but often it's people whose ideas are unusual but still rationally debatable. The downside of stranding outside your own echo chamber is that often it'll be a waste of time. But the upside is that occasionally it'll change your mind, and that's certainly what I'm after.
This parses fine as YAML in all the tools I've tried. Can you provide the specific versions of the libraries you're using?
I maintain large scale C++ code that hasn’t had a bug in production for 5+ years. I do it using lots of system level tests. So it is very much doable. It has nothing to do with the programming language. Yes some languages (Haskell for example) completely eliminate a large class of bugs, and I would prefer to use languages like that, however the world runs on C/C++. So having solid C++ skills is great for your career.
That's truly amazing, congratulations!

I found what I think is an off-by-one bug, but for some reason it only seems to reproduce on "Uprising (by Muse)": https://maroofy.com/songs/539822007

The top track is listed as "Sojourner (Phillip Keveren & London Symphony Orchestra)" but when one clicks play, it plays "Uprising (Muse)". I found the link to that song on YT Music and it doesn't seem in the same vein as Uprising at all:

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=NuwmYxf2aC0&list=OLAK5uy_l...

But, for clarity, the rest of the suggestions did sound like Uprising, so again: congratulations!
Not necessarily. Some people misinterpret socioeconomic to be someone being covertly racist, sexist, classist, etc. Statistically, specific groups are responsible for a majority of the violence (an obvious one is males). Some groups are disproportionately affected by the underlying socioeconomic issues.

It's reasonable that some people don't want to talk about these issues since it makes them an easy target to be misunderstood and called a bigot.
Yeah, but I also remember there being way more diesel fumes and soot. Cars and trucks have gotten much cleaner over the past 10-20 years, so why would this be contributing to a decline in pollinators?

I regularly get security notifications for an account I’ve since lost the password to, the notifications go to my primary email, and this means a malicious actor has my password. I can’t login via account recovery, using my backup email, for the same reasons as described so I’m at a stalemate with some random malicious hacker and have no way of solving the issue, and no idea what’s actually in the account. Fuck you google.
C was not designed to be fast. It was designed to be a bit simpler and a whole lot more portable then assembly code. The speed is a biproduct of how it does not try to do anything other then basically mapping perfectly to the hardware.

What do you think of the signal to noise ratio of the JRE podcast? It seems like he does minimal prep and just wings it with the idea that his natural curiosity will make up for it.

yes, they are 2.5hrs+ long, but IMO at least half of it is chit-chat and irrelevant to the guests knowledge often about fitness/hunting/deer/monkeys. I prefer much more focused podcasts, where the interview has prepared a series of well targeted questions.
I like the idea of using the client computer power to predict results and make some computations...

Yes, academia and private can both be bad about this, but because of DEI initiatives, my friend got sent to many second and third interviews even though they didn't plan on hiring him.

>Hospitals don’t have any single person on staff who stays attached to particular in-patients.

This is incorrect. Doctors are assigned to patients, and if there is a complication any time or day or night the doctor is contacted to decide what to do. The entire point is so that there is one person who is familiar with the patient, who is also responsible if anything goes wrong. I don't know how malpractice would work with an AI, but given the number of malpractice cases yearly in the US it'd either be sued out of viability or have to be provided with legal immunity(possibly the worst scenario IMO)
Ask Warren Buffet - he’s never invested in safe things. /s

Though seriously, looking at Buffet - he invested in incredibly safe companies (ones generally valued at below their book value, at least for the first few decades) and used a bunch of leverage on them to make top-10 global wealth.

It bugs me (seems like it does for you, too) to hear the “you need risk for reward”.

Safe !== broke, and risky!== rich. But too many people equate ”safe” and bonds or index funds (which also won’t make you broke, they just won’t generate generational wealth for the most part).
My guess is they get defrauded more often.

The scenario you present is a really obvious risk as phone thieves often compromise those devices.

I'd be very surprised if I came to the US (not that I'd ever want to do that) and Google blocked my account there just because it is far away from my home location. People do travel, appearing far away is not uncommon, especially during a holiday season between Christmas and New Year's.

It didn't have a problem logging in with the same laptop from another place in Germany earlier that day. There are surely more factors, but the deciding one here seemed to be the geoip.

Perhaps anyone here can prove me wrong and confirm it's merely the distance that does it? Did anyone travel between two top ~50 HDI countries (not anything Google employees would consider putting on a blacklist, e.g. rich EU countries, Australia, USA, etc.) and had their login blocked with no way to access it?
Not to mention the fact they offload all the legal liability to the actual doctors since they have to approve everything.
I had one conversation with Guido at Dropbox where I wanted to get a dependency updated so that I could write quickcheck tests.

It was like pulling teeth - he didn't know what property testing was ("some haskell thing?" - his words) and so he wouldn't update it ("are you implying that how Dropbox writes tests today isn't good enough?" - his words), so I couldn't write generated tests.

Sort of ironically, property testing was used elsewhere in the company to great success, and in fact we were all told the scary story of the 1 hour where empty passwords let anyone log into any account - a bug that a proeprty test is very well designed for.

I walked away pretty embarrassed for him and decided I wasn't interested in further interaction.

How do you get that conclusion from my comment? Lol. If anything, my comment suggested that don't even live together with someone, let alone get married. Because living together is legally the same as getting married in many jurisdictions. I might have been mistaken about the amount of places with such laws, but it's always a good idea to check your local legislation or talk to a family lawyer.
Well, it’s fun to see Huginn on HN! I’m the original author, but now it’s maintained by other excellent folks.

By default, you are probably uniquely identifiable: the SSH client sends your public keys, and sites like GitHub and GitLab publish the public keys for each account too. Someone made a demonstration SSH server a few years back that would greet you by GitHub username based on this, but I can’t immediately find it.

If you don’t specify a username, your local account name will be used and thereby disclosed.

Much more seriously, if you have the ForwardAgent option enabled, the remote server can impersonate you, using your SSH agent to log into any remote server. Don’t enable ForwardAgent globally, despite its convenience, unless you have an agent that requires manual action for every action; and be exceedingly leery of using it even on trusted servers, lest the compromise of one machine allow the compromise of everything. Consider ProxyJump instead.

I think this is sufficient regardless of configuration (but don’t trust me to be correct, I haven’t verified the actual traffic or anything):

ssh -a -o PubkeyAuthentication=no nobody@git.charm.sh

It’ll prompt you for a password, just press Enter, it’ll accept it.

Now of course using this will make you comparatively fingerprintable (though not identifiable) unless enough other people do it too. But then, they have your IP address, so—

If you want to skip the host key stuff, you can add `-o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no`, though it’ll emit a warning about adding the host key to the known hosts file every time.
Would "right to repair" also apply to software companies that lock up their customers' data in password-protected databases, which is only known to the company?

It's kind of funny watching SGD slowly get closer and closer to you, and then overshoot. I was surprised that it's so much slower than me at learning this task.

Going straight to working RNA is a huge assumption in the analysis, but it's thought provoking to set some sort of lower bound and see how big the cosmos would need to be.

Still, somehow we may find a process like natural selection at a cosmic level that makes life way more likely than a purely random starting sequence.
> Isn't that what attracts so many people to Python in the first place - that it does have strong opinions, and often enforces them on how people should structure their code.

I seriously doubt it. What attracts people to Python is that:

1. It has a big standard library and until the last ~10 years installing 3rd party packages was beyond the capabilities of your average CS student.

2. It is easy to write relative to C++. If you're in data science, those are your two options, so you choose Python.

Python is an extremely loose language - it's not restrictive at all in ways that matter. Is "you can't use two lines (unless you use a \)" restrictive when your language lets you arbitrarily replace functions at runtime?

It's not at all a readable language imo. It is very much write-optimized. It has tons of code golfing and one liners.
since this post might attract people that are mathematica powerusers: how good are mathematicas optimization routines vs commercial solvers like gurobi or cplex? reason i ask is i'm spinning up project that'll require a good bit of MIP, MILP and i have a mathematica license but i'm considering getting a gurobi license. since i've never tried gurobi i can't compare.

In my country, patients will go to the public healthcare unit at 4 AM in the morning in order to try and get an appointment. It opens at 8 AM and by that time there'll be a queue of about 30 people. Doctors are expected to see them all before 11 AM. Such is life in "family medicine", theoretically a medical specialty but mostly filled with doctors who just graduated medical school and who are looking to make some money before they start residency which pays a pitiful "scholarship" and is essentially indentured servitude anyway. There's barely any time to do anything more complex than chief complaint or chronic disease management.

It's funny because it's the complete opposite of what family medicine was supposed to be. The doctors were supposed to live and work in those towns so they could get to know the population and form stronger bonds with the community. Instead, they either burn out quickly or move on to far better working environments, specialization or not. Some of these public healthcare units don't even have sinks you can use to wash your hands.

Dropbox has some projects around this. I think the idea is totally silly tbh and it flies in the face of Python's type annotations being just that - annotations.
