Things I can recommend in your situation, which helped me in the past, in no particular order:

* log into other gmail account (with a long history) using Chrome without any addons, log out and then immediately try logging into the primary account (ideally google should ask you if you want to add another account)

* log in from the same location. I once spent two years abroad, and could not log in to one of my accounts. I regained access only after returning to my home country

* if you are working in an organization that owns an IP range, try logging in from work, i.e. do not use publicly available ISP.

You'll get best results if you can combine two or more of these points. Unfortunately even following this advice you are not guaranteed to be successful...

For the future reference, the only prevention that I know which works 100% times is using YubiKey for 2FA. 2FA with TOTP codes often helps unlocking the account, but I had cases where even the codes did not help.
> Pretending that a new technology is somehow exposed to new problems not present in old technology

Which she doesn't so we can stop there. Your kind of discourse is exactly part of the problem here on HN.
I'd recommend a service that lets you take bite sized portions on a pay-as-you go plan.
In this case, Elastic Email is well-priced, offering email at a nickel per CPM and they have great support too
Can you really not think of any other benefits?
Very interesting "article", so good in fact the author couldnt pay for hosting and used a free service to split his discourse in multiple mini messages. Science on SMS.

These guys are desperate for our money, I suppose when finally they newest scam takes hold, they ll publish outside of twitter echo chambers.
Not being able to determine that without having to go to GitHub seems like a problem with the design of the website.
If you're entering a code, the 2FA method you're using is still susceptible to mitm-style phishing attacks, which is what this kind of location based check is securing against. You'd need a push notification or yubikey based 2fa check to get the same level of security.
if Facebook can't figure out moderation with its billions, can blockchain though?
It can be done but it is not guaranteed. Smaller companies have more geeky staff who would be more suspicious and wouldn't let that easily to be had. They have more accountability.

I hear that many accounts of celebrities get hacked and I wonder how? Apparently even with 2FA it is not that secure. Some countries let you order a replacement SIM quite easily and then it can get intercepted (maybe by stealing from mailbox or similarly). This appears to be a reason why google has been refusing access even with 2FA in place.
Well I'll be sure to get promoted twice in order to qualify! At that level they're probably paying you upwards of $1M/year, so they'd better support you
Are either of you married? That doubles the number of people who might be uncomfortable with the relationship.
I empathize with you. You conned yourself into academia.

If you regret not having enough partners. Don't regret, probably, you wouldn't have much anyway. Top 20% gets 80% of the action. You aren't in the top 20%.

Academia is awful. Again top 20% of the students get 80% of the attention and opportunities. Seems you aren't in the top 20%.

So what to do from here? First stop digging. If you don't want to marry the girl you are with, Cut the relation, don't be a moron, don't make her loose time. Go to a church and set your life in order. Hear Jordan Peterson on YouTube. Get an entry level job in tech. Go for data analyst or systems administrator. If you are able to land a developer job, great. Currently you are worth close to 0 to the market. You are useless, but you are smart and you can learn. Swallow your pride and get some useful skills.
I think this is the twitter thread: https://twitter.com/realhashbreaker/status/11282762077186007...
Faux idempotency exists, but this blog post does not illustrate it.

The post-condition of "touch file.txt" is to "make sure that file.txt exists and is writeable by user". As long as the command succeeds, that post-condition will be true. This makes command idempotent.
Note that a bad permission, FS errors, or even running out of disk space will cause the command to fail. This is fine, idempotency talks about what happens if operation was applied. If it could not be applied, no promises are made.

Yes, ">>" is generally not idempotent except some circumstances. You can make an idempotent system out of it, but you have to be careful. Nothing "faux" there.

The same rules deal with limited resources -- there are no guarantees your tests may run, only that if they do run, they run in identical way.
But I mean why does someone else reducing the game to an algorithm hurt your personal experience with the game? If you don’t use AI to play the game, and if the game isn’t competitive, why does it make you sad when someone else does?

BTW I’m not trying to debate or contradict you, your opinion is valid and I’m hoping to dig into that wider question a little by getting more specific about your personal experience and emotions, to uncover in more detail what it is about AI that is bumming you out. I’m curious to hear about what the automation is taking away from you from your perspective. Does the Wordle anagram solver here feel worse to you or similar to older examples like the Big Blue chess AI? And how do computers in general fit in, as well as mechanical automation like cars & tractors, etc?

Are there certain kinds of AI automation you see value in, any things that leave humans with less manual labor and more free time? I’m kind of excited for driving AI, for example, if we can make it safe and reliable enough. It will definitely upset certain economies, but maybe fewer accidents and traffic jams and more free time during travel are redeeming values?
Those "concerns" are pretty damn minuscule in comparison.
Hackers Were in Ukraine Systems Months Before Deploying Wiper
I tried it, they are responsive and helpful.

A bug I reported is actually sent to the development team, and it's fixed. It took 5 weeks, though.
The amount of trust that providers put in phone numbers is absolutely insane.

I'd be interested to know where these patients predominantly live, is it seen more in urban areas / cities with high levels of air pollution etc
Yep, but that makes it a non-starter for most Pi deployments, I think -- especially on Zero Ws, which is where this would be most interesting.
Can you really not just share the url and at most pre-highlight it?

On my phone I get a share sheet with additional text which makes visiting the url a pain

Too bad HN doesn't have a special symbol for subscription-only articles. Seems like I run into more every day.
ok this is nice and all and I'm sure the UX people who need to make continual changes to justify their jobs will love it.

as an "old", can I please express my disdain for this kind of thing? just show me the timestamp. just show me the timestamp. please. I am capable of understanding times and working out the difference between two timestamps all by myself, thank you very much.

I do not want to be lied to by a library like this. 89 minutes ago is not "an hour ago". 550 days ago is much more than "a year ago".

please... JUST SHOW THE TIMESTAMPS!
Here's a path that has worked for many people from all kinds of life paths.

Leave academia. It's intellectually sterile, economically exploitative, and will implode sooner rather that later.

Get an industry job. The market is hot, and any experience you have will pay off far more than academia ever might. Don't worry if the job isn't "groundbreaking" or "cutting edge." Don't look for satisfaction in your work, that's a dead end.

Instead, get a life partner. If you're concerned that you will be outcompeted, your goal here is not to get the world's most attractive or fascinating person. Most people make ok life partners. Don't wait to make a deep, profound connection with some kind of mystical soul mate who understands you implicitly. That's a dead end.

It's more important that your partner is fecund. With a child on the way, you will find that your interests and aspirations will become narrow and clear: a large house on an attractive lot far from the city, a car large enough to carry a growing family in comfort, a quality school system with great student outcomes, a support network of local parents. But don't live through your children. They could never live up to the hopes and fantasies your mind will pile on them. That's a dead end.

Instead, get a vintage "mechanic's special" sports car and drag it into your garage. Spend your weekends trying to repair it. Get into craft beer appreciation. A good board game can shave off a good 2-3 hours of unfilled time. I've had a surprising amount of fun driving a riding mower in little circles. It's the little things in life.

I've seen a lot of restless, neurotic twenty and thirty-somethings who experienced a lightbulb moment of epiphany and became dedicated, purpose-driven, calm, and determined adults when they understood what a good life is about.
but on the model the abusive content is still there - on every node, publishable by any other intermediary that chooses to -- no?
2022 me agrees with you, but 2003 me getting an invite to GMail when it was a brand new service and essentially a completely different company with a different landscape didn't know better. Now I have nearly two decades of accounts and things tied to GMail =(
I read an article by a guy who had terminal cancer at around 30, maybe he was 32.

He said something like, “Ever ygray hair is a somewhat a blessing because you’re at least getting to experience more of your life, you at least have the option to experience growing older, it’s not a luxury I’ll receive.”

Also growing “old” is still largely optional, keep your mind plastic, keep fit, keep strong, eat well, sleep well and you’ll feel twenty hours while life. I know many older people who told me they felt twenty even when they died.

You still have time, get moving in the direction you want to be heading!
How about the distibution of income for youtube accounts with millions of views? which is what the article says he has.

He also has a patreon account linked on there.

How does one test the latency and bandwidth of CPU cache at each level?
Uh? Given that I'm French I doubt very much that this is true.. Foreigners learning French have to spend a lot of time learning stupid things such as is-it a she-stone (une pierre) or a he-stone(un caillou)?

Knowing where to write an or en when both sounds the same (on-om ai-è-es-est-ê ...), Lots of irregularities also.

All these things bring a lot of complexity without any real meaningful gain..

At the opposite a language like Esperanto is really easy to learn..
I find account security horribly bloated thanks to tools like Podesta and such lame password creators. If ppl would simply make good passwords this would not be an issue. Google, Amazon, Valve/Steam, blah blah blah… we almost don’t need passwords anymore.
Or maybe do they really want your phone number? (Uninformed guess but isn't it valuable data?)
A plug from a very satisfied customer: I pay $5/month for Fastmail. I've emailed support before and reached a human within hours. They helped me with my problem, because it was their job and I'm paying them to do it.

Email is too important to rely on a free service which has a history of shutting people out, at any time, for any reason.
In the last year I went through many of the SMTP sending services. SendGrid's non-dedicated IPs offered the worst deliverability I'd ever seen, and yeah the proposed solution was move to a Pro (dedicated IP) plan
It's incentivized top-to-bottom. Every audit is structured around checking boxes, absolutely zero interest in actual security. Just state you have processes, that they meet the loosely written (or in some cases bizarrely specific) spec, and be able to provide some writing that explain them at least at a surface level.

This is the case for just about every framework, and even though these systems are just for window dressing, the auditors are mostly incompetent. A review a few years ago showed that 20-50% (depending on which of the Big 4 you've decided to hire) of audits were done incorrectly.
I lost a google account that I had a recovery number set on.

Google used it, verified it, then said it wasn't enough, and there went an email account I had used for years.

No way to recover.
You mean Rocky IV lied to us?
Am I being overly cynical in concluding that a growing % of companies will screw over their customers for their own gain. Doesn't this myopic "screw the customer" mentality damage brand reputation? Sure does for me. The growing discontent amongst a companies customer base is creating a new market opportunity for a competitor. When I feel screwed by a company like this, I find a good alternative, then jump ship and NEVER go back (even if they course correct some years later). From that point on I'm a vocal detractor of the brand. If no quality alternative exists it's even worse because you know the company is screwing you knowing you have no good alternatives.
Good to know.

Another possible question is: What is the best strategy minimizing (at any point) _first_ the maximum number of tries, and second the EV (average number of tries over all possible words)? That's subtly different from either answer.
The shuttle started with an AP-101C that used core memory that was replaced midstream with an AP-101S based on semiconductor memory that was 3x faster. (Reference based on a link to a paper on a NASA web site with a busted SSL certificate.)

System/4π derivatives were used for the target discriminating radar on the F-15 and quite a few other military applications.
I remember that some years ago, people treated AI who tries to fulfill your deepest desires as some sort of dystopia. Yet, here we are, with the TikTok algorithm trying to guess what you want to see and advanced AIs doing facial reshaping and skin smoothing to make that girl look inhumanely attractive. Let's hope we humans don't end up overly distracted like bees and brown beer bottles ;)
I hope you're not storing your passwords in there too
Just signed up. Your idea appeals to me. Hope I can take it for a spin soon!
Wow, up until now I attributed it to incompetence when really it was a sales tactic. Wild. Thanks for corroborating.
The conspiracy angle here is not that he's spent a lot of money to influence politics, which is a fact, but that conspiracy types have rounded that up to "Soros is one of the shadowy puppet masters pulling the strings behind the scenes, like the Illuminati".

Here's one example, but the rabbit hole is deep.

Woo.. This happens to credit cards a lot, but in these cases, you can at least call the bank.
I don't understand why this is downvoted. It's a completely fair opinion that is entirely plausible in the near future.
I can believe it. The PSF and its hanger-ons have historically fulminated against improving CPython performance at the cost of complexity in the implementation language. They've caused flamewars on HN in the past, though Guido's recent about-face seems to have settled the field.

From what I know, the would require an extra transaction, and additional fees? At least on ETH. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Show HN: Denoflow – Simple Powerful automated workflow based on Deno with YAML
I’m not sure I’ve the confidence to present every deep topic I get into but I may still give this a go and I’ll have the slides off the opportunity presents itself.

Thanks for ask the details though, it’s given me a lot of food for thought…
Jump was primarily an incredible pop hit, with just a sprinkling of rock as seasoning. I'd say it crushes all those alternatives, with the exception of the Adele tune which was lovely, but agree it is hard to compare those specific two. Just too different.
i think the bit about old paradigm vs new paradigm tenure application bias overlooks a few things. this bias doesn’t just affect the proportion of admissions across paradigms, it’s a selection filter that allows only the best of the new paradigm people through. so even if this bias results in only 5% of the field being new-paradigmers after the first round, that selection might mean that closer to 10% of the overall output comes from new-paradigmers (because it’s selected for new-paradigmers which are in some way exceptional). that’s not enough to reverse the direction of this selection, but the effect would reduce the requirement for the other “luck”-based elements in order for the new paradigm to “take root”.
I have also hacked around on solving this problem. However, I decided that using the shorter list of answers was cheating, since end users wouldn't have access to this list. From a user's perspective, any word that Wordle lets you guess could be a valid solution.

It's still a work in progress, but my code died when I tried to generate a complete game tree for the full list.

However, in theory it could be done once, to determine the best starting word, and then hardcoded to always use the same start word. So, my plan to explore a game tree approach from guess 2.
Is a single strand of rna with all the right nucleotides to self reproduce the only starting point for life? I feel like there must be alternatives- perhaps a whole network of simpler organisms that each could do a small piece of a complete replication. I’m not a biologist so I can’t say- but notably, neither is the author (he’s an astronomer). I’d like to hear the point of view of a biologist on this.
Interesting! I'll check it out.
Because the study was conducted with US-Participants.

In my opinion a multi-center study is needed. I believe other parts of the world have different values in friendships.

I agree with you. My best friend was poor (not anymore, he is a MD now) and had nothing.
What I learned from my time in grad school (physics) is that at least for the hard sciences, reading is not enough, you must DO.

I came to say that also. I find that just reading a technical book is the fastest way to get drowsy, while retaining nothing (or so little, it's a negligible amount).

I find that to learn anything I must have a project. Then, when I inevitably strike a roadblock, I refer to that technical book for the answer to my lack of knowledge so that I can move along with my project. If I subsequently forget that knowledge, I know that I did have an answer previously, and that I found that answer in a particular place.

Also, I find myself buying fewer and fewer technical books these days. Once upon a time, the only way of obtaining knowledge was via technical books. I used to buy dozens every year. Currently it's easier and faster (and less expensive!) to use Google or similar websites.
for this specific set in easy mode doesn't (bawds, chefs) result in unique responses for all of them? so that's 2.5 guesses total? Where are you getting the EV for 6-word sets?
You were wrong about that, too:

Senior C++ developers are not impressed with Rust because it doesn't solve any problem they have. Switching to Rust would make them markedly less productive, with no corresponding benefit. The drain comes from slow compilation and from excess design overhead, the need to distort a simpler architecture to satisfy the borrow checker.

Put simply, the extra work to satisfy the borrow checker prevents errors they do not make.

This contradicts Rust propaganda, where a few CVE numbers are cited over and over, echo-chamber style. What these citations never mention is that they are for bugs in mostly very old code. We just don't need to write code that way anymore. It is not just error-prone, it is more work, so there is simply no temptation to write it that way.

I do hear of programmers who have elected to stop learning, and (proudly!) admit continuing to write C++98 or even "C-like C++". We used to say "you can write FORTRAN in any language"; there is no eliminating bad programmers, but plenty of reasons to avoid their product. What conclusions can we make about Rust from its worst adherents?
I learned it myself while at Uni because we only did C and Java.

I d say it s important to learn a bit just for the C with classes aspect. Sometimes you want to do a moderately complex C program that Java dev will have to help with, and it helps knowing C++ (as in: I did a 3D engine in it, using no overly fancy language feature, for me that s good enough to get an ability to produce something useful enough).

It's a bit sad Rust and Go are so far from C. Might as well just go to Java, a paradise for team work and problem solving.
> With 1000 subscribers paying $7/month, you'll earn $79,800 per year.

Do you have many users who reached this goal?

(What I dislike most about platforms like Medium/Youtube/AppStore is that they lure people to work for them and giving them false hope where the winner is the platform, so it would be great to see some transparency for a change, and have some actual statistics like we have in the real economy.)
Watson is just a statistical guesser, as far as I can tell.
DankPods, is that you?
I had the same issue. I just gave up and came a while later with the same IP and eventually got through. It’s ridiculous that they both allow you to not setup 2FA and don’t let you in without whatever they deem required.

I eventually started using 1Password for all my backup google accounts to setup TOTP making it just as convenient as without 2FA. It was still a pain to have to wait and go through the process though.
> Blockchain is built from the ground up to prevent exactly one type of security vulnerability: man in the middle attacks. It is absolutely abysmal at protecting against any other form of attack.

I wonder where that Man in the Middle attack thing is coming from? Dan mentioned it in his recent video, so he must have picked it up somewhere.

If you Google the term + blockchain, you'll mostly find some discussion about potential attack vectors regarding wallets. It's not a term used in academic blockchain literature as far as I aware. It's not used in the Bitcoin whitepaper.

Man in the middle has a specific meaning, and I don't see how describing blockchain's main purpose as preventing this kind of attack makes a terrible amount of sense.

Ultimately, what you critique is simply an inherent part of the system. These are not oversights. These are basic consequences of the whole approach. To say "blockchain evangelists suffer a deficiency in not addressing them" is merely saying "there should be no blockchain evangelists".
Huginn: System for building agents that perform automated tasks online
I sometimes work on leetcode puzzles. I don’t think these exercises are fun in terms of interviewing, but it’s easy to find an interesting programming challenge.

A couple years ago, I started a project to build my own distributed tracing service. But then I evolved the project into being less about the flow of a request through different components, services in a system and more about tracing clicks/user navigation and determining which pages/sub components are responsible for the user landing on a particular page or eventually clicking some link.

I’ve done little with the web stack. I learned HTML in the late 90s and wrote some PHP in 2003. It feels like Web is a decent ROI for any kind of UI interface / write once and run in any browser. But not my main interest.

At the end of the day, pick one problem and build little by little as long as you’re getting some joy or learning from it. It’s sort of like playing Factorio. :)
