> they have colored costumes which are faceless?

Sorry this is maybe idiomatic, the idea of “faceless” as being without any visible personality...

Ebert was making the point that real teenagers have varied interests and personal preferences and individual stories that make them interesting characters who have interesting conflicts with each other. The problem was, the movie’s Power Rangers did not have this: they all had the same hobbies and the same interests and they did not have interesting conversations or conflicts with each other. In fact the only interesting thing he saw about them was that they happened to be power rangers. This made their journey to become Power Rangers anticlimactic for him: they all had very similar attitudes and preferences and tastes, so the only thing that was distinguishable about them was that they had different faces—but then the movie goes on to erase even their faces, so that they all are symbolically now the exact same person.

I actually think this would be interesting for Ebert if the movie “doubled down” on it, made it the intentional point of the film. So if the film was trying to make a bold point to teenagers that the constant striving to define yourself as an individual (dress a special way, act unique even for your friends group) was getting in the way of really finding unity with a group that could together accomplish what no individual does, that you actually need to find a group with a higher purpose and conform to that mission, rather than be some unique special snowflake. Kind of a play up those missing Confucianist values that nobody ever dares to talk up in America, that indeed we criticize other countries’ films as propaganda.

Of course if you wanted to make that movie, Ivan Ooze would have had to be a villain copy of, say, Rand’s John Galt—and instead of his ooze hypnotizing people into being his slaves, it would have to hop them up on paranoid narcissism so that they were only interested in pursuing their own glorious purpose, screw everyone else. Throw in a CGP Grey bit about how he becomes dictator not by holding the keys of power himself, but by being at the center of the people who actually hold the power, the one person they can all agree on as a symbolic figurehead frontman. Could have been very interesting if in giving up their individuality to become Power Rangers and serve a higher purpose, they became immune to the selfish nightmare the Ooze induced and were able to stand against it.

Just kidding, it's just a movie to introduce the ninjazords so we can buy shiny new toys
No - without knowing the answer in advance, there is no answer which requires more than five guesses.
The author is not even wrong. Public transparent blockchains are a disaster for privacy. Bitcoin is even worse for privacy than the average credit card since the personal information is out there for everyone to see. It gets to the point it destroys bitcoin's fungibility since you can tell each coin apart from their transaction history.

This isn't am inherent problem with blockchains though. Privacy blockchains exist. Monero transactions don't reveal much. There's no way to tell who's sending the money, who's receiving it or even how much.

I suspect that with most languages it’s impossible to achieve 100% win rate for five or more letters. So w7 should be by far the largest weight but I don’t think it can be infinite.
As another person who left a FAANG company because I found the work meaningless, I can assure you that what you were feeling is real and you probably made the right choice. My life is significantly more enjoyable now that I’ve joined a smaller company where the job actually motivates me.

For what it’s worth, almost everyone I talked to before leaving had the same take as what you described—that I should do the safe thing and just keep working there because the pay was high and it was relatively easy. I thought I was going crazy, because it seemed so obvious to me that I needed to move on.
I guess this is why Amazon is playing the long game with their obsessive focus on customers. I don't know how that really plays out where the rubber meets the road but that's what Jeff bezos always keeps talking about.
A cautionary message from someone who used to think long form content equals quality and indepth coverage:

Long form content in magazines still used to have limited pages. So there needed to be a balance between information and prose. So even in long prose, the content was well edited, every sentence brought something important to the table.

Nowadays, on the web, an article could have infinite length without any limits. Less editing skills required and more importantly, the longer you stay on page, the better their metrics.

So the content tends to be way longer with more passages that do not really add anything to the central message. Most of them are approaching novellas in length.

At one point in time, this became such a big time sink for me, I wrote a firefox extension to warn me how long the page was and how long I spent on it. I am a moderately good reader and still some of these articles would typically take 45 mins to finish.

One heuristic I follow nowadays:
Before reading, I think about what my purpose of this article is, what I hope to learn from this exercise: (It could just even be entertainment)

A few mins in, I see if this purpose is being fulfilled. If yes, I continue. If not, I just bail out.
Isn't this a potential for a lot of crazy bugs then?

I've never used Wolfram in earnest (touched it once in undergrad ever so briefly) so I may be misunderstanding.

Same. Been using PHP for years, and I've never come across this in the wild. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you have to.
> 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.

1. even though people travel, I suspect it's far more likely that a random russian IP accessing an american account is because the account got hacked. at the very least there's a good enough chance of an account compromise to request additional verification. Obviously locking the account entirely (effectively banning it) is unwarranted, but I don't think "well people travel" is a valid excuse to ignore a red flag.

2. google probably considers far more factors than just geoip. it probably also checks whether you're logging in from a new device or not (via cookies and/or fingerprinting), and whether your other devices have moved to the new country (eg. android phone or chrome browser on your laptop). I wouldn't be surprised if it scanned your email to see if you have an itinerary booked or your search history to see if you looked up russian vacation related queries.
On how that chat works; you sign a message to Blockscan's server to prove ownership of your key, then it's just un-ecrpyted chat with messages stored Blockscan's server and you public key as your username.

They should remove the phrase "every JSON file is also a valid YAML file" from the YAML spec. 1) it isn't true, and 2) it seems like it goes against the implication made here:

> This makes it easy to migrate from JSON to YAML if/when the additional features are required.

If JSON interop is provided solely as a short-term solution that eases the transition to YAML, then I applaud the YAML designers for making a great choice.

Question for JIT experts: JS and Python are extremely hard to optimize because they both allow redefining anything at any time, yet V8 crushes Python by an order of magnitude in many benchmarks[1]:

All times in seconds (lower is better)

benchmark Node.js Python 3 Py takes x times longer
==================================================================
regex-redux 5.06 1.34 ** Py3 is faster (PCRE C)
pidigits 1.14 1.16 0.02
reverse-complement 2.59 6.62 2.56
k-nucleotide 15.84 46.31 2.92
binary-trees 7.13 44.70 6.27
fasta 1.91 36.90 19.3
fannkuch-redux 11.31 341.45 30.19 (wut?)
mandelbrot 4.04 177.35 43.9 (srsly?)
n-body 8.42 541.34 64.3 (no numpy fortran cheat?)
spectral-norm 1.67 112.97 67.65 (Python for Science[TM])

(If Python is allowed to call fast C code (PCRE) for regex-redux, I don't see why Python shouldn't be allowed to call fast Fortran BLAS/etc for n-body, but rules are rules, I guess. V8 doesn't cheat at spectral-norm, it's 100% legit JS.)

Both ecosystems have billions invested by corporations worth trillions; bottomless money exists to make Python faster. So why isn't Python faster?

V8's tactics include dynamically watching which loops/calls get run more than (say) 10,000 times and then speculatively generating[2] native machine instructions on the assumption the types don't change ("yep, foo(a,b) is only called with a and b both float64, generate greased x86-64 fastpath"), but gracefully falling back if the types later do change ("our greased x86-64 'foo(float64,float64)' routine will be passed a string! Fall back to slowpath! Fall back!"). Why doesn't Python do this? Is it because Google recruited the only genius unobtainium experts who could write such a thing? Google is a massive Python user, too.

EDIT: HN commenter Jasper_ perhaps has the answer in another post[3]: "The current CPython maintainers believe that a JIT would be far too much complexity to maintain, and would drive away new contributors. I don't agree with their analysis; I would argue the bigger thing driving new contributors away is them actively doing so. People show up all the time with basic patches for things other language runtimes have been doing for 20+ years and get roasted alive for daring to suggest something as arcane as method dispatch caches. The horror!"

I grew up on the Atari 800 and it has a special place in my heart. It's hard to overstate the prevalence and impact of the 8502, as well.

I am thinking of getting another one (my parents gave mine away when I moved out) and seeing about how far I can push it as a pseudo-dumb terminal. What lightweight protocol can be leveraged with most "pre-rendering" done via a special proxy? I wonder if it could ever get close to practical.
Going off the tangent here, Grave of the fireflies was the most depressing movie I ever saw. Number two on my list, Requiem for a dream, is a distant second.

As a rule, I avoid depressing content and was wholly unprepared for the emotional pounding I got.

Watch (both) if you haven't, they're great movies, but brace yourself.
> In my experience, the biggest thing programmers do that normal people don't is imagine {all possible scenarios} and then design a system that's tolerant of them.

In my experience programmers don't do this any more than other people called on to design systems, and in fact frequently leverage the fact that software is updatable to avoid imagining failure scenarios until they occur, and only then making software resilient against that particular failure.
It plays out with Amazon absolutely crushing Google when it tried to be a consumer marketplace, and even trouncing Google at providing web infrastructure services.

If, somehow, an antitrust ruling split ads from the rest of Google the non-ads remainder wouldn't last more than a few years.
>If the government intervenes, it would undermine the free market.

The market isn't free if the government enforces private contracts. Once we stop humoring those who pretend we have anything resembling a free market we can begin to debate what other forms of government intervention in markets are desirable.
Hey, thanks for the feedback! :)

Yeah, currently the indexed catalog has some metadata issues, where some songs can have the wrong audio associated with them.

And since the search algorithm is only audio-based, this can cause it to return results where the audio is similar but the associated song/artist name for that audio is incorrect. This can also cause issues such as having duplicates of the same song under different names, etc.

I definitely agree that this can be confusing, and I’m still trying to figure out a way to best address this issue.

And the search ranking algorithm can definitely be improved too! :)

Me and spouse are lucky enough to earn a decent living. Without that this method wouldn't work. We also use multiple checking accounts from a credit union that doesn't charge insane fees.

We keep track of our monthly recurrent bills. We limit this increase as much as we can. This all comes out of a special checking account. Beginning of month we transfer bills to this from savings. Currently about 40 percent of our income goes to this.

Entire paychecks go into "savings". This is used to transfer to other "budgets".

Also each paycheck has certain HSA, and retirement savings deductions withdrawn. We don't pay attention to this.

We each have our own debit card that we "pay" ourselves with. This is approximately 10 percent of our income. We use this for expenses such as eating out, hobbies, small individual expenses that we don't want to justify to each other.

The remaining money we have an agreement that we must discuss any decisions with each other before using.

There are problems with this method, and sometimes we cheat, or use credit cards. But we have long term goals and love each other and strict money management isn't as important as having a happy relationship without having to constantly worry.

True, but it needs the courts to enforce any decision - that's the arbitration of guilt or innocence, not just the NRLB saying violations occurred. An NRLB finding is more like a grand jury deciding to indict - a level of evidence has been met, but the bar is pretty low.

If a violation is believed to exist, the region will take the case before an Administrative Law Judge who will conduct a hearing. The decision of the Administrative Law Judge may be reviewed by the five member Board. Board decisions are reviewable by United States Courts of Appeals. The Board's decisions are not self-executing: it must seek court enforcement in order to force a recalcitrant party to comply with its orders.

Rdtsc is the read timestamp counter instruction. Every .25nanoseconds, that counter goes up by 1 (assuming 4GHz CPU)

Write 32kB of data and measure how many nanoseconds pass. Done for L1 cache.

Do the same for L2 cache size.

Then do the same at L3 cache size.

Finally do it for 4GB or something that only fits in main memory.
I don't think anyone is going to really care at interview stage how you see your career in 3 to 5 years, other than thinking "oh that's nice". At that point, most likely you will not be at the company, or they will not be at the company, or there will be no company. When companies are hiring, they are hiring for an immediate need they have now, not something they may have a few years in the future.

If you have experience performing PM duties, then I don't really see why you can't just jump straight into that. You need to sell yourself in the interview and explain why you want to become a PM and really focus on the PM responsibilities you've had before.

If you can't or feel you need more experience, you should find another lead role that has more PM responsibilities. If a company is growing fast, a lead role could allow you to transition into a engineering or product manager role quite quickly (months not years). This will be easier at smaller companies where there is a lot of overlap in responsibilities, than larger companies. You may also need to take a pay cut until you have true PM experience under your belt.
Please provide links showing where exactly on https://papyrusnft.io/ it says anything at all about "enabling non-Ethereum chains" or "the environmental concerns".

I clicked on every link to see if there was anything about what you claim, and I can find absolutely no useful information about anything at all on that site, and certainly not the words you quoted.

I performed google searches for "site:papyrusnft.io ethereum" and "site:papyrusnft.io environmental" and that also turned up absolutely nothing (although the site is indexed by google).

I even used the tab key to enumerate through every link on the web site to make sure I was not missing any due to the manifestly horrendous web page design.

The ridiculous clip-art icons over the bullshitty captions "What you feel", "Your decision", "Words for posterity", "Future projections" aren't even links, they're just decorations, like lipstick on a pig.

And the only actual link with any more information that I found was to their twitter feed, which was mostly in Japanese, but made some typically scammy claims in English like:

https://twitter.com/PapyrusNFT

>You can also use Papyrus to make your words NFTs, and then sell those NFTs on Opensea.

>"I can't make art" "I'm not interested in art" so "I can't be an NFT creator.", Is that true? Why not write your thoughts on a blockchain and make it an NFT?

>NFT can make any digital data unique, and NFT art is only a small part of it.

Can anybody please explain exactly how NFT can make any digital data unique? What does that even mean?

There's also a link to some shady little Japanese "Lifestyle Change" / "Blockchain Technology" / "Creative Solution" / "System Development" / "Ethereum staking agency business" company called Moblo. Who are they, anyway, and what is their actual focus, credentials, reputation, and qualification to be in this business?

https://moblo.jp/company/

Those silly tweets, plus that shallow landing page of glossy hype devoid of meaningful content, not to mention that bizarrely unfocused and unqualified "Lifestyle Changing" Japanese company, all make it pretty obvious this is a scam that is targeting gullible suckers, and they have no idea what they're talking about.

Your unsubstantiated claim that PapyrusNFT is making an also unsubstantiated claim that "they're enabling non-Ethereum chains which will address the environmental concerns" sounds about as believable as Trump's repeatedly broken promises to roll out his wonderful health care plan any day now, which he never did.

So I'm simply asking you to prove what you claimed, and if you can't, then explain why you claimed it.

Why are you making false excuses for these scammers by quoting words that aren't even on the web page, if you're not an NFT guy? What kind of guy are you then?

Been listening to a lot of lesser known 80s pop like The Time and Five Star and, gods, its like we've just largely given up on writing damn good hooks and melodies in exchange for vibes and soundscapes (of course not speaking for all modern pop but a distinct chunk). It helps that The Time had a few songs written by the frontman's cousin, Prince.

He's telling a reporter that it's a no-go topic for the interview, not as statement as to them being politically untouchable, even if they were.

This is potentially a grossly misleading quote, as you frame it, whether your realize it or not.

Unfortunately, it claims to be, but is not an actual strict superset.

This will vary from company to company - In some companies the CFO was selected by the board to keep finances in order as the CEO is not trusted, in others the CEO will defer this to the CFO by choice or through collaboration, and some CFO's will probably do not much more than do what the CEO tells them to.

I was one time an interpreter for Seattle fire dept and went on calls in an ambulance. Between the moment we got call and arrival, it was like around 6 minutes and 5 other cars arrived at the same location. IIRC Seattle emergency med service renders the highest out of the hospital survival rate in the States.

I would imagine the time to respond would vary widly by location, especially with covid raging.
This sounds very neat in principle, but it doesn’t seem very easy to understand the code in practice. In particular:

In the run length encoding example, I don’t understand how the runtime data structure is defined. There is a Runlength data type, but its definition looks more like a Haskell-style curried function definition than a data definition. It seems to call the ‘rep’ function and the list concatenation operator, but how do you get a datatype out of that? If you drew a boxes and arrows diagram showing how the data is stored, what would it look like?

I’m wondering if this is like how you can use a closure to store data in captured local variables? Or perhaps like lazy evaluation in Haskell?

This is why I like INI. It doesn't have these problems, because it doesn't try to wrangle the notion of nested objects (or lists) in the first place. The lack of a formal spec is a problem, sure, but it such a basic format that it's kind of self-explanatory.
