You can debate it, I just have nothing to say to you.

If you can’t see the problem with governments controlling and monitoring transactions and being able to confiscate private property, then cryptocurrency is not for you. It’s simple - you don’t have to use it and you can call your legislators to ban it. Luckily, it’s permissionless, so no one cares.
i agree the us policy in the balkans is an overwhelming success. bosnia and herzegovina prospers and is more stable than ever [1]. kosovo and serbia are best of friends [2]. there is almost zero corruption and gdp is through the roof [3]. there are no children being born with defects and there has been zero cancer cases due to nato dropping depleted uranium [4]. as far as former yugoslavia is concerned, only slovenia is dirt poor

Sort of. Look up Western Unions role in the 1876 US election[1]. Stolen communications to support a specific candidate and a compromise between political parties on military presence sounds like a very precarious position for free society to be in.

They are the best. They're big issue used to be that they gave out _debit_ numbers, which a lot of things would not accept. But, this year they transitioned to credit, so even that problem has gone away.
Consider yoga or pilates classes. Blocks out time for meditative thought, and gets physical metabolism in order, which in itself improves state of mind.
Would love to see the output of this if someone does it.

Sometimes things like this are caused by your code being "un-jitted", in the event some criteria is met, like an exception being thrown for example (although BitSet does not look to do that internally).

What? You're really arguing that, to put a year on it, in 1990 we didn't have a free society and democracy?
No we didn't know buddy.

Once upon a time, back in the Vista days, I was looking for a file. I knew the name of the file, and I typed it into the brand new Search Pane. I waited, and waited, and waited... Until I decided to run something along the lines of `tree / > files.txt`. The tree command completed, I opened the result in Notepad, and found my file in no time, meanwhile the Search Pane was still searching. I don't have a Windows around to run the experiment in 2022, so I ask: Has Search not improved since the Vista days?
Fox News in the 90s was fairly balanced. Hannity and Colmes was decent- one was liberal the other conservative. I think that was part of the plan. Once they had the viewers established they pulled further and further right and people stayed out of habit.
Both are certifiable cranks. No matter what they published in the past.
It is a little bit broken, but I think it gets the point across.

I’m not convinced the story actually says what the title claims it does.
Yes that’s the idea. They’ve spent a bit of money to make a sincere and well-founded request that will cause you to consult your own lawyer who will explain to you why you’re probably doing something wrong and need to do what the letter asks of you.

Of course there’s a lot of garbage out there too.

The gov isnt worried about criminals or terrorists: those guys are easy to deal with. The gov is worried about organised protests, like those canadian truckers, because protesters are protected by laws. Encrypted communications is an obvious enabler of such protests.

> So given my thoughts on what I would want for my own children, I feel like it would be dishonest to say that other children should avoid learning to code.

That's not dishonest, it's just having a mind focused on your children. That does not mean you have a moral obligation to support a policy which generalizes what works with your kids to everyone else.
Yes, pretending the raw statistical chance in any way speaks to whether discrimination occurred is absurd and can be summarily dismissed. The issue could be discrimination, but sour grapes type comments like this don't add to the case.

Edit: I read your comment before reading the article. She's a math professor. That's even worse I would argue because she should know better. I had assumed she was in some nontechnical area and didn't understand statistics.
Yes, I should try to profile each run and compare the profiles of the bad and good ones.

I disagree with your implication that people are basically dim for falling for intentionally malicious design. You could put a push sign on the door of the physics department in a Uni, but if the handle was designed to be pulled, most people would be doing so.

I agree with the rest of your sentiment for the most part. Vote with your feet. Affinity is great, and there are other good alternatives. Most people who are stuck on Photoshop used it when it wasn't as good, you can do the same again

Block’s Cash App adopts Lightning Network for free Bitcoin payments
I don't believe governments should force private companies or people to publish or say things they don't want to.

But I do think there is an issue where companies that are monopolies control large parts of public discourse.

I would prefer the right to be able to participate in public discourse without being tied to particular companies. For example, interoperability protocols for messaging and social networking.

Then people have the power to engage with who they like and companies can no longer control the flow of information in the same way. In the earlier days of the internet this is what it was like, before Facebook and Twitter monopolised and controlled information flow.
I mean, not really. In the world of companies talking to other companies lawyers are involved all the time. In some scenarios (real estate transactions, or M&A, for example) it would just be completely routine for two companies on exceedingly good terms to communicate back and forth via attorneys.

Your main premise seems to be that the recipient should take all this very personally. But it’s not personal, these are businesses, discussing a business related topic.

The VAST majority of business to business communications that involve attorneys don’t go anywhere near an actual filed lawsuit.
You’re being too kind. Last I used it it’s actually slower than you describe.
Throwaway account. Oh man, I was in your shoes in a bad way last year. My advice. Sell your business, take the money and FatFIRE in a few years after the golden hancuffs come off. I sold my AI company last year to a unicorn and now lead the R&D group at the new company. There is a beautiful simplicity about just doing what you like, making great money with zero existential stress, and having a prescribed highly certain path for a few years to detox.
This is a vastly overblown issue. It only serves to confirm the bias already present in this site.
Yes exactly. So I’m not sure how a company can change $5 a month, with their own overhead and profit margin, and still make money.
Yup, been there too. Like others have mentioned, I've learned that spending time to build custom functionality with proper CBVs often ends up being a more sustainable approach in the long run
Great comparison. Grin is the only cryptocurrency that fundamentally competes with Bitcoin in the long term.
Why are you asking here? Why do you think HN is a support forum for Ubuntu? I think you must have gotten lost on your way to the ubuntu forums.
There is more after that as well in the linked thread.
`It can auto suspend vm automatically when no apps are used. ( i have it set to 30 s ). My college uses a windows only application for tests and assignments. If i was using winapps i would have to install libre office in windows vm just to be able to quickly open document sent to me. With cassowary i can just double click file in guest and it will use linux native libre office to open the document. ( Saves storage space ) Winapps only works with VM cannot connect to Bare metal windows`

Instead of constantly rebooting my dual boot system this seems like an interesting approach for me to try. I need to play games in Windows without having to reboot from Linux.
All things being equal …

So strange that they test for ancient greek when pharmaceutical labels are half-latin. This also reminds me of my very young attempts to get any shitty job in a store. They’d test your education, logic skills, out of box thinking, for you to sell $50 home electronics to bored visitors. The more degenerate a company (or a market) is, the more sophisticated its interviews are.
Latex. The document object model is stupid. The Latex language's syntax and semantics are weird and idiosyncratic. Every Latex package uses its own weird conventions. It's slow. But there are thousands of packages out there for almost any conceivable problem you might have. And that makes Latex very very useful. But it is not well-designed software.
I'm really not seeing the difference between this and the early termination fee that phone companies charge.
Disagree. This is a solid list of examples of shortcomings of Bitcoin. This is the type of issue worth discussing and solving for. What we need less of are the empty crypto articles that are just idle speculation about "crypto bad". Read the rest of this thread, there's good stuff here!
I was a fine piece, to be sure. The point is, it's customary to append that the title (so people aren't drawn into clicking on the article as if it's something new).

I have not once claimed that they should not leave once asked, and in fact repeatedly said the opposite. Not leaving will get you dragged out for sure.

The correct answer, as I’ve said repeatedly in this thread, is to hold them to account in court

The rest of your claims and game playing loopholes have not faired well for airlines (or airport security) in court. That is why they settle, often for significant money. Have you bothered to look at the cases? I have.

> perfectionism is doing things the right way and make the best out of the limits you encounter.

My dictionary defines perfectionist as “a person who refuses to accept any standard short of perfection”. That is the standard definition you will find most people understand as the meaning of the word. For more precise use in a technical context, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfectionism_(psychology)

>> Perfectionists strain compulsively and unceasingly toward unattainable goals, and measure their self-worth by productivity and accomplishment. Pressuring oneself to achieve unrealistic goals inevitably sets the person up for disappointment. Perfectionists tend to be harsh critics of themselves when they fail to meet their expectations. [...]

>> Perfectionism can be damaging. It can take the form of procrastination when used to postpone tasks and self-deprecation when used to excuse poor performance or to seek sympathy and affirmation from other people. These, together or separate, are self-handicapping strategies perfectionists may use to protect their sense of self-competence. In general, perfectionists feel constant pressure to meet their high expectations, which creates cognitive dissonance when expectations cannot be met. Perfectionism has been associated with numerous other psychological and physiological complications. Moreover, perfectionism may result in alienation and social disconnection via certain rigid interpersonal patterns common to perfectionistic individuals.

“Doing things the right way” is an idiosyncratic personal definition. You should find a different word for this if you want people to understand you. Or perhaps you could use “competence”, “proficiency”, “fastidiousness”, “judiciousness”, “practicality”, “adaptability”, “success”, or some other existing word, depending on the context.
Thx for sharing. How do you feel now ?
Wordle Solver that supports plurals, variable word length, unofficial versions
But we shouldn't be having this argument over and over because some people didn't like the way it turned out the first time. We need, as a society, to find a way to limit the ability of lawmakers to turn around a scant two years later with some new approach to pushing their shot down proposal through.

It's a devious exhaustion tactic and it's unethical (without commenting on the bill itself, which I find abhorrent to a free and just society)

I think games like NASA's Moonbase Alpha demonstrate why attempts like this aren't all that valuable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonbase_Alpha_(video_game)

Have a look at the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nis2t9EubBs

Then have a look at how seriously people took it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv6RbEOlqRo

I mean, i guess people can approach games like EVE Online seriously, in part due to the financial investment that they may have into them, but otherwise they're likely to just mess around for entertainment value.

On a different note, if you have such complete knowledge of all the constraints to be able to make a simulation the results of which would be useful, why not just run a neural network to simulate more outcomes than players for this game of yours would? Why depend on the game being interesting and successful when you can just automate the players away?
I think this quote really shows exactly the point you're making.

"I bet there is many an undergrad CS student who doesn’t really understand the algorithm they are trying to write a program for. They read the requirements once, and then begin to code. Code it seems is the only tool at their disposal."

Also, if they don't understand the algorithm they're trying to write a program for, they missed the point of the lesson. This is an education problem, the student probably thinks they're not there to do anything other than get their degree in the easiest way possible, so they find an existing algorithm and copy/paste it. It's the whole reason why in math focused classes, you're instructed to show your work and that it will be part of your score.

In response to the article writer's point, how and why would you teach someone an algorithm without the modern tools to implement it?
The lazy way to deal with this is to render at a high resolution and then scale down before displaying. Is there a better way?
What would happen when you reach 10M? That's just a number. What would happen in the best case scenario, if you sell business for 50 or 100 mil and don't have to work a day in your life? What will make you get up from the bed in that case? Maybe it's time to investigate (by being honest with yourself) what you would do in that imaginary future. And then do a bit of that now. You don't have to wait for the finish line.
Krita is exceptional (and it's FOSS):

https://krita.org/

It's targeted at drawing more than image editing (though Krita handles both raster and vector in one document), but more than any other graphics application, they make relatively advanced features[1] discoverable and usable. And being FOSS, it's extensible and has an apparently active community.

Really a gem of usability among FOSS applications. After I tried it, I was surprised I hadn't heard about it. The best graphics program I've ever used, especially in respect to UI (for context, I never really dug into Photoshop and I now despise other Adobe interfaces I am forced to use). Great documentation too: clear, succinct, detailed, easy to find what you need. I rarely use graphics applications, and I didn't need to post one question, and maybe looked once or twice beyond the documentation.

And being FOSS, no dark patterns to worry about at all! I find FOSS to be a relief these days - I hardly have to worry about tracking or the rest of that nonsense.

All of those "crimes" result in a ticket, not the person in question being hauled off to jail, and they typically aren't enforced on protestors. The government could direct the police to crack down, but that would just throw any pretense of evenhanded enforcement of the law out the window, and harden the protestors' resolve.
I also fell for it, I just needed to sign a document. It's ridiculous.
The title may be correct, if you look at the absolute difference instead of the relative difference.

Making up numbers here, but if 10 out of 100 unvaxed people get sick among the elderly, and 6 out of 100 unvaxed get sick among younger folks, then the vaccine "helps" 5 elderly but only 3 younger folks.

But I agree with you that it's certainly misleading.
I’m on the same page with you. Only recently I realized how coding is a lot more like writing and coders are just as different in their skills as writers. Replacing good coder is more comparable to replacing a good screen writer and less comparable to replacing a construction worker.

Questions are overrated. Most people will never ask for social reasons, and most of the time either the teacher won't understand the question or the student won't understand the answer. You can't really learn with an audience.
I think the stakes have become too high to treat IT like the wild west. There are too many stakeholders and too much money behind it. Haskell adopted the motto "avoid success at all costs" to prevent falling into the same pattern.

Another fascinating fact is that forwarding Outlook spam to abuse@outlook.com will get you shitcanned ... as a spammer!

You can't make this up. They pass all abuse reports throuh their spam filter and this affects your server's reputation. Then at some point they start rejecting emails from you with a 5xx code that stands for "your IP is on our blacklist". Contacting "Hotmail sender support" will yield "We see no problems on our end, kindly fuck off". You have to then go through a ritual of summoning a manager, taking anywhere from 2 to 5 days, at which point they will say "we put a mitigation in place, will take up to 48 hours to propagate", but it works right away. If it doesn't, it means that they mistyped your server address and the next chance to ask them to fix this will be, you guessed it, in 48 hours. So a week of bounces in total.

Ran into this 3 times in a course of a year, then took a closer look at the logs and - yep - in all three cases it was triggered by sending a report to abuse@outlook.com.

It's just such a magnifecent clusterfuck it's jaw-dropping.
Adobe is for sure one of the worst dark pattern practioner. Was trapped by them once and had to talk to their support. And it turned out their terms were much malicious than it looked. So once you get past the 14 days trial period they will charge you till the end of the year. If you do not notice and do not cancel before the last day, then from the very first day of the following year, if you want to cancel, they will charge you for the rest of that year.

A neural network is only producing a probably bad approximation (but maybe visually okay) solution to the Navier stokes equations. The real lava lamp is doing it exactly.

Maybe the neural network produces good enough looking pictures and it’s cheap to run instead of solving the PDEs. But don’t think its going to be that accurate.
“The effect of the booster can be seen in the data sets, but it’s far smaller than the effect of vaccination compared to not,” said John Moore, a virologist at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York. “The real problem is the carnage among the unvaccinated.”

Unvaccinated people in every age group are at higher risk of infection, hospitalization and death than those who have been immunized, according to the C.D.C.’s data — a persistent trend ever since vaccines were introduced.
