That's exactly my approach.

I wrote a very simple O(N^3) algorithm to determine that: for each possible actual word and the guessed word, figure out whether or not a word is eliminated. Then calculate a score based on how many words can be eliminated from a particular guessed word, averaged over all possible actual words.

(I originally thought O(N^3) would be way too slow to be useful. But it runs fast enough with a few thousand words.)

Like a sibling comment, I also found that the best initial guess is RAISE, although when I tried a different word list, I got different words like LARES (I don't think it's in the Wordle list).

One thing that surprises me is that by the time you get to the mid-game stage (after 2 guesses or so), occasionally it can be more optimal to guess a word with repeated letters; I did not originally expect that because I thought repeated letters are wasted opportunity to test more letters, but it turns out Wordle's handling of repeated letters can give you helpful information about the number of occurrences of a letter. (For example if you picked a word with 2 a's, the first one can be green the second one can be black, essentially telling you there is exactly one letter "a" in the word.)

> Yes, I know it would be slower, but it might be better to pay the performance cost than to have to move everything to a new algorithm every 20 years.

What if your way reveals to be insecure as well in 20 years? Who knows what will happen in that time-frame, it's a long time in our interconnected world.

What if instead of trying to find something that works forever, you embrace change and make it easy to change the algorithm instead? So when you need to change in the future (not "if"), you can easily just switch a value to change to the new one. Have solid testing created already for. Don't assume invariants that changes between the different hash functions, like length or what bytes there will be in them.
I recommend Andre LaMothe's Crash Course Electronics and PCB design, available on Udemy.

This guy teaches right, he goes along with natural experimentation and makes sure you actually understand what's going on. Alongside come a book, materials list for practicing, and other yummy materials.

Agree. I'm generally a fan of the more simplistic websites (sometimes that means them not looking modern at all), but they did a fantastic job here.
Ask HN: Technical side project ideas for full stack engineers?
Trying to get ideas for technical side projects to help me improve my depth of understanding on certain parts of the stack.
Current rough ideas:
* Write a react runtime
* Write a js compiler
* Write a node.js runtime

Curious if anyone else has any other ideas, or if there are any senior engineers out there that have done projects that really helped them in their career. (In either expected or unexpected ways.)

It wasn't my intention to limit my comments on this to statements for which I have links to supporting academic studies. I wanted to propose my guesses, because it's fun to see who else has arrived at the same spot. I was careful to start with "I think it's" rather than "it is true that" or "consensus exists that".
It's illegal to buy dollars but not assets that track the USD dollar. Buying DAI is legal for the same reason buying USD denominated bonds is legal, they are not dollars and you are not taking them from the central bank.

And either way I don't think grouping "criminal transactions" with "stuff that's illegal in X country" is fair. At many points in history governments outlawed things that are very wrong (e.g. nazi germany) Just because someone doesn't want to succumb to corrupt institutions doesn't mean he/she is a bad guy.
That looks great! It would be very interesting to see the set of words "left" after a guess, too.
How can you say that for certain? We don’t understand genetics well enough yet (much less anything downstream of that).

There’s some charm to spending the time to challenge preconceived notions of CLI output. I find something very beautiful about picking up a new tool and being surprised by the output in a way that piques your curiosity or brings a smile.

It’s the greatest form of learning to be able to just play. Should you be implementing these into your enterprise internal tool to monitor your platforms support tooling? Probably not.

This is likely a matter for the EEOC or the state version. I don't see why those other agencies would be involved. Unlike OSHA, I don't think the EEOC has a process for accepting tips, and I don't think they open original investigations. I believe someone has to claim they have been harmed.

OP could encourage someone to apply, see if they get turned away on the basis of sex, and then they could file a charge of discrimination. That would probably be the most direct way.

However, I think this sort of explicit in-the-docs discrimination is unusual, and OP might find that they have already identified themselves to the employer. Of course, there are also rules against retaliation.
A challenge with open source is that people can use your stuff without ever telling you about it. It can sometimes feel like releasing software into the void - any glimmer of interest is motivating, and stars represent a glimmer of interest.

Sorry, I understood what you meant but overly abbreviated my response.

I understand your point about “complete” versus “good” but I have always wondered about the economic impact of the decision to deliver low quality user interfaces (“more complete than good”) to front line operators.

I’ve worked in a number of enterprise domains and I’ve found that the more I empathise with the uses of my software (ie, the front-of-house workers, not the end customer) the more I see benefits to the organisation in terms of staff motivation and efficiency, which translates to a better end-customer experience as well.

I’m just not convinced that something can really be said to be “complete” if it is not also “good”.
I love the general renaissance of terminal UI tools we are seeing in the last few years.

I can't quite put my finger on what I like about it so much. Something to do with the simplicity and directness of these UIs, guaranteed optimised for efficient keyboard nav, widespread adoption of vim-like navigation keys, and the fact that they link directly with my terminal shell so I can stay entirely in a stream of thought while working through complex series of tasks that weave in and out of these apps and shell interactions.

I do wish it was easier to select text from the terminal screen without using the mouse. It is supported in terminals to place text onto the system clipboard, but rarely implemented in most of these apps. It's the main reason my hands leave the keyboard.
I think you might be misunderstanding what GNU/Linux means.

GNU/Linux, or GNU plus Linux as I’ve recently taken to calling it, means combining a GNU userland (GNU libc, GNU coreutils, GNU compiler collection) and the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel itself is not a GNU project. If you want to use a GNU kernel then you need Hurd, hence GNU/Hurd.

When you replace the whole userland with components that are not written by the GNU project, then it no longer is GNU/Linux. As such this is not a GNU/Linux distribution, and neither is Alpine for example since by default it doesn’t use a GNU userland.
I really dislike traditional hierarchical organizations. They lean too heavily on the idea that somebody with a big title should be telling everybody else what to do. But actually, the people with the smaller titles know more about what's going on day to day and therefore have a better perspective on how to solve the problems. They just don't have the experience to transmute that perspective into the right action.

I gave up the opportunity for Staff/Principal Engineer titles because large organizations are an organizational clusterfuck hellscape and you can't see the right changes from the top. They give you one of those titles and then they take away the teams you should be working within. As a more lowly engineer in the trenches, I can see all the day to day problems and get the right people involved in the right solutions. I have to kick and scream a lot because I don't have power, but at least I know what's really going on.

As long as Staff Engineer is considered just another Master-level position (like Master Electrician or Master Plumber) it has its uses. But this trend of tech navel-gazing (your own conference, your own book, your own blogs, your own slack channels) just leads down the path to silos. Let go of the trappings and just dig into problems and help the junior people find the right solutions. The more you build up the juniors, the better everything gets (within engineering; better code can't fix stupid business decisions)
At my last job Staff was higher on the ladder than Principal. That's not super common, especially among startups that model after FAANG ladders, but it seems like it's somewhat more common among older companies (that is, I've seen it enough that I don't think it's a wild outlier when it happens).
The example is of course egregious ($600 for a software update for a wire that got wet, basically). I fully support being able to repair your own stuff but I have no idea how you regulate this so companies don't gouge "owners" for aftermarket services.

Earlier today there was a thread about e-bike battery prices (tl'dr they're ridiculous expensive). I really wish rechargeable batteries had interchangeable form factors like normal batteries. I can't help but feel that if AA batteries were invented today there's no way there'd be a standard form factor.

But this issue is complicated. As much as first-party parts and accessories cost too much, there can be deadly consequences with shoddy third party products [1]:

> In July, a Chinese woman died after being electrocuted from a charging iPhone 5. Later that week, another man in China suffered a similar injury from a charging iPhone 4, leaving him comatose. In both cases, the victims were using an unofficial third-party adapter to charge their device.

So how do you guarantee something third-party will do what it claims to? If you use bad RAM chips in a Macbook, the consumer is going to blame Apple not whoever supplied cheap, shoddy parts (for the record, I hate soldered in RAM).

As an aside, I was unsurprised to see in this article this is a small farm. The harsh truth is that family farms and small farms in general are a dying way of life and just aren't competitive with industrial-scale agriculture. You can't fight the incoming tide forever.

I would really want to try that, but it seems extremely tied to the language. for English that's cool, but I write code, greeklish (Greek with English characters) and English daily.

Deep Blue and Watson aren’t the same thing. Deep Blue was a chess computer from the 90s — and it was not the first chess computer, so regardless of whether you consider computer chess to be part of AI, the answer is no.
Nah. I don't have The Truth, just some pretty good heuristics on how I spend my time. I've all ready looked into enough religion to know that I don't have to give any time to godbotherers. I've already looked at enough perpetual motion machines to know that I don't have to disprove each one. And I don't have to hear out each racist on why this time he's rilly rilly rite about how the people he hated all along are scientifically bad.

Is it possible that one day somebody will come along with a real perpetual motion machine and I'll miss out for a while? Sure. But there are other people who enjoy evaluating that stuff enough that I'll eventually hear about it. And it's the same deal here. I don't get my theology from evangelical Christians, and I don't get my bioanthropology from evangelical racists.
No entity can legally own more than 10% of John Deere's stock. I forget why that rule is. Something they are in, perhaps finance? If farmers are acting as a group they probably would be in trouble for individual purchases that collectively violate the rules.
The conclusions really didn’t resonate with me. Not the male or female preferences.

As a male in my 30s, I just realized that every single close friend I had throughout my life is simply a person who made me laugh, and I made them laugh. A shared sense of humor, that’s literally all it is.

And it’s not like my friendships are/were shallow or anything, I have friends who I will gladly give a kidney to and I’m sure they’ll do the same for me. But I think humor was really the foundation of it all.

Answering the question in the title is hard for me, but I can give you a side tip on this:

> I feel immense regret for a lot of things that I didn't do in my 20s.

First, it is natural to feel this way. It means you appreciate yourself and your time. Now, the past is past. No matter how much you think about what you did or didn't do, nothing will change your "lost time". The only thing you can change is your future, try to make better decissions using the wisdom you have gained.

Finally, if you fail to make the most out of your years to come, don't beat yourself. Failure is the basis for success. We all fail and we use the failures to succeed further down the road.

Also, keep a few close friends near you and love them :)
To improve my criticism (open to correction, especially because I don't have a background in academic psychology), I hypothesize that the paper's results don't apply and can't be generalized to the broader U.S. population.

For Study 1, I specifically think that one's views on friendship are shaped by the people around them (so the views of undergraduates on friendship in a small Northeastern college might be different than a large state school in Texas or California). Views on friendship may also change after graduating university (where it's harder to make friends), and may also be different than views from people who have never attended (e.g. people in small towns in a trade or who have spent a career enlisted in the military).

For Studies 2-3 (this is likely where my reasoning is shakiest), I hypothesize that people on Mechanical Turk represent a small subset of the U.S. population, and most have specific shared beliefs (that motivate them to trade time doing fairly simple tasks for money). It's possible that some people are on Mechanical Turk for fun or specifically to learn more about research by participating in online studies, but I hypothesize that this is a negligible part of the population.

In short, I'm not convinced that the study's design makes its conclusions applicable to most women and men in the United States population.
I'll usually want to use a custom domain, like carrot.blog, in front of a GitHub Pages site. But it's not strictly necessarily if you're OK with something.github.io
Deep Blue isn't ML at all, it's just a purpose built system for solving chess. It doesn't learn anything as such and just a fancy brute forcing machine that (smartly) goes through all possible chess moves and selects the best possible tree of outcomes. The work on actual ML happened independently of this.
Which is is not doing. Vaccinated people are still getting COVID-19.
I (straight male) have several close friends that are women, some going back two decades. I’ve been happily married for 12 years, they’ve all been in stable relationships, and our partners get along.

It is possible that some men or women cannot be just friends with the opposite sex, but I have at least one counterfactual for the universal claim.
The number thirty seems like a big deal at the time. In hindsight it was a minor speedbump not much different than any other birthday. Thirties can be one of the most enjoyable times in life, with an open mind.
I thought this was a really interesting article, but calling gelak "the edible red earth" seems a bit of a misnomer. Lots of things could be considered "edible" then if you can put them in your mouth and swallow, and they don't kill you. Sounds like sooragh is basically just a fermented fish sauce, very similar to ancient Roman garum, and the soil just dyes it a pretty red (which, in fairness, the article points out).
Yeah that's a good point. I wonder if we can add some rigor to the improvement/modification process to avoid like, wacky mods or incompetent DIYers/contractors causing serious or widespread damage. I guess I would worry about adding yet another barrier to entry to an already struggling sector (tradespeople) but, maybe some more professionalization would make it more attractive and avoid the "no parent tells their kid they hope they grow up to be a house framer" phenomenon.
"They have all the resources they need to enforce the law..."

Maybe an individual occurrence. Not at scale. If I remember correctly, 80+% of cases go to a plea deal, wait times for a court date are months or years, and the murder solve rate in the US is only 70%. To me, it sounds like the courts are overwhelmed and even the most serious crimes have a relatively low solve rate.
That was very interesting, in the Times article they note that they don't eat it to get any minerals or other nutrients, which was my first thought. Do you have any idea why they do it?
That is the whole point, it doesn't get more dynamic than that.
Cute gimmick, but not being able to get school busses through the snow are not why schools have snow days. They do it because they don't want kinds dying of exposure while waiting at the bus stop.

> gun violence

In some cases (e.g. the recent murder of Ahmaud Arbery), I think it comes directly from attitudes ingrained in right-wing gun culture and associated spheres. The murderers had been socialized to believe they were completely in the right to pursue, detain, and ultimately murder a man on no basis beyond their own (frankly) unhinged, malignant racism.

In other cases, I think it is less directly political and more a result of certain socioeconomic issues, organized crime paradigms, and the general availability of guns.

> gun recklessness

This is speculation, but I think subcultures that glorify guns and (sometimes hypothetical) gun violence are less likely to treat guns with the appropriate care and respect. It's not a sober mindset, and often these people seem to have a very clear idea of who they imagine they might shoot with their guns (yes, people, not animals) and very little empathy for them.

Even putting aside how toxic that mindset is by itself, the fact that your gun may just as easily kill you, a loved one, or an innocent bystander is a very sober fact, and not very compatible with said mindset. For instance, I don't think the kind of person who e.g. has the words "You're Fucked" milled on the inside of his AR-15's ejection cover^[1] is particularly concerned with minimizing violent outcomes.

Please note that I'm not saying all right-wing gun owners are like this. There are many, even those whose politics I may vehemently disagree with, who are perfectly responsible and sober gun owners.

While we're on the subject (and from Rich the other day) is there a library to do pretty command line apps for Java?
