Really nice puzzle design. Just a few UI/UX things:

I was confused by the fact it lets you enter a letter more times than appear in the box. It would be nice to have the same limit that prevents you entering more than 9 letters, for when you enter too many letters. It would also be good to have a transitory popup explaining why you can't enter more letters.

The "incorrect" popup should go away after a while, or be manually dismissible.

I think the enter button should be a more stand-out colour.

Because the word "ANSWER" is in all-capitals, it looks like it's an example guess, but it's only 6 letters, which is a little bit confusing. I'd suggest making it Titlecase and left-aligned.
The whole thing exists outside the regular justice system. Even if the airline employee puts you in the list in good faith, the criteria they used to put you there would be somewhat arbitrary (define "unruly") and not weighed against any kind of precedent for similar infractions. Appeal is also difficult.
Note that the checkboxes in the feature list (along with the source code) say that the P2P sharing/replication of the bad actors database is not implemented yet.
Exactly. People here vastly overestimate how technical and motivated the average user is.

Trump's banned on practically all platforms. How many of his fans added his RSS to their app? (Wait, they don't use RSS apps). His only platform is now his website, where he publishes blog posts.

Did his fans follow him to the "open web"? Nope.

I've not played with the OS myself but I occasionally watch a live stream and ask him questions. He talks through stuff off the cuff and you know he is a genuine dude.
There is another dimension of choice being taken away as well. Spotify doesn't allow users to hide podcasts or rearrange the order in which things appear, so if you are an 18-34 male you have absolutely no choice but to see JRs face presented to you constantly with no way to remove it... It's functionally an unblockable banner ad even though im paying them.

If i had the ability to just not see this podcast at all (like spotify already does for specific songs) i wouldn't have a horse in this race. However, being involuntarily subjected to something has a way of breeding intense dislike that wouldn't otherwise exist.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus#%CE%B2-reducti...

Basically, beta-reduction is the single primitive that performs all computation in the lambda calculus. When you apply the function mapping x to M, to argument N, the result is M with all occurences of x replaced by N.
There are "conspiracy theorists" because there are conspiracies which are uncovered every now and then. Why would there not be when a lot of money and power is involved?

A lot of inequality comes not from some people being inherently superior/inferior or deserving/undeserving but from information management, a crucial part of this is to secure it from competing actors while sharing it with those with overlapping interests. That is the definition of a conspiracy.

Even if there were actually no known conspiracies, we can't know they don't exist unless something comes out... so it would be healthy to have some conspiracy theories around and events being tested against those theories. The mere motivation to suppress them is very likely to come from either ignorance or malice. I believe the very fact that "conspiracy theories" are treated with such hostility is a tell that there are much bigger conspiracies that we need to uncover.

Sure, especially with very imprecise values like 1.2 and 1.3 the error can be quite significant; generally you only interpolate tenths to get a single extra digit of precision, because mentally multiplying or dividing by .2 or .3 is a lot easier than multiplying by 20/35 or something. In theory you could use a more precise form of interpolation like quadratic Hermite interpolation or cubic spline interpolation, but for mental work I think that almost never pays off.

You may be aware that the linear interpolation error for a regular function scales as the square of the interval size, so if the table you're interpolating from has 10× as many entries, you get 100× less absolute error.

> The idea that we have to silence these people

I never said we have to silence them. I don't think we have to give them a megaphone to hundreds of millions of people unchecked either though. Why should we give a platform to any random person? Do we no longer care about a persons expertise on the subject?

> Your argument is that because some people choose to get their information about the vax and climate change from people that are not experts in those fields none of us should have access to that media.

Again not what I said and you know it.

> If that is how you feel you should also be in favor of shutting down fast food restaurants and liquor stores because some people don't take responsibility in those areas and become obese and alcoholics.

No, I would be in favour of better educating people. You know by having them get information from actual experts with regards to their bodily health to either lose weight/never become obese in the first place, show how to enjoy alcohol without it becoming an addiction, etc.
This is a misleading rebuttal. There were countless stories about feed stores running out of stock or having to limit sales because people were buying it for personal use in huge volumes. There was literally a US wide shortage of agricultural ivermectin in August/September, and I’m not sure if it’s gotten any better.
Sure the Russian intelligence services are untrustworthy, but they're not the ones demanding to be blindly trusted this time around.

In essence it’s the same. You just seem to respect written documents more.
Russia and Putin have a recent history of using false-flag attacks. The 1999 Russian apartment bombings are universally considered false-flag attacks by Russian journalists and historians who are not on the Kremlin payroll.

> Arm does have an advantage

As I said, claiming that the theoretical peak of a CPU can actually achieve theoretical peak of DDR4 is ok as long as that's actually the case.

Getting 50-60% just means AMD is lying.

Particularly when on other vendors like Amazon and Ampere one gets 90+% of what they advertise with stock compilers and stock flags.

Having to use an AMD proprietary compiler, with flags that are bad for programs in general (essentially a STREAM cheat mode), to get 70% of what they advertise, is just sad in 2022.
Just a reminder that America has a recent history of using intelligence to start wars in other countries. The 2002 invasion of Iraq due to the presence of WMD is universally consider lies and propagandar by journalists and historians who are not on The White House payroll.

Honest question, fully admitting my ignorance here, not an intention-to-troll question:

How do we know for sure the real title shouldn't be: "US to stage false flag information campaign claiming 'russia is about to use crisis actors to stage false flag operation and start war in days', followed by false flag operations in Ukraine, in order to justify upcoming unilateral action against Russia?"

Like, I've seen soo many unprovoked articles in the last few days about how the US is "actively" gearing for war over something Russia "may" do, it's all a bit reminiscent of the "War on Iraq/Terror/WMD" stuff to me, and we all know how that ended up.

Furthermore, what I'm more worried when hearing press releases like that is that it's exactly the kind of talk that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I mean, it's chicken and egg situation, isn't it? If got whiff that someone was planning an armed raid to my house on the pretext of finding guns, first thing I'd do would be to arm myself to fend off the raiders. If I heard that someone was accusing me of "planning to throw eggs at the school windows", my first thought would be that someone is planning to do this on my behalf already in order to frame me, and maybe I should go near the school with some eggs and wait for the offenders.

At what point do we take such speculative projections justifying real military actions at face value without questioning the intelligence and motives involved?
Ha ha, no I caught that.

Seriously though, I like your advice, I am someone who thinks the same way. I have artistic daughters that I have tried to instill this in since they were young. Publish or perish is another way I put it.

Or it will manifest itself as, "Got a good idea for a novel or video game? Cool, write it. Because you better believe that nearly everyone you meet every day also has a great idea for a novel or video game (or movie, etc.). The difference between Ray Bradbury and everyone else is that Bradbury sat in front of a typewriter every day." (It's possible too of course that Ray had some pretty good ideas though that not all of us had.)

That also points to the sad reality that I have found (now in my 50's BTW, no college undergrad). So many people are not motivated to "do",

I think that first came home to me when I was writing shareware games and sending floppy disks of the source code to people that would write me (send me a check).

My thought was that, having been handed compilable sources, each one of these people would have read the code, gutted it, refactored it, added their own art/sounds and started putting out their own games. That it was just the "how to" they were missing.

Not so as you might (now) imagine. Taking that step to create really is a difficult one for a lot of people. Further, going beyond "demo" and adding scoring, game completion, configurable controls, high scores, about box.... Very few put in that extra (and frankly tedious) effort.
But you can't ban them from all supermarkets in the country forever. That's what the no-fly list does.
Can they even sue roblox? They are only the platform, the content after all comes from the creators. And the question is whether this amounts as fair use. Fanart and stuff is not getting sued either for reasons.

But then again, people can make money with Roblox, so i'm curious whether Nintendo does sue people who make Money with their content on Roblox.
The discontinuity in angle (that you loop back round from the highest value to the lowest value or vice versa) can lead to interesting issues when not treated carefully.

The reMarkable tablet’s file format contains an angle field for each point, which is the angle of movement, in radians clockwise from the positive x axis, range [0, 2π). For most tools (BallpointPen, CalligraphyPen, Marker, Pencil, MechanicalPencil), it’s the tangent from the last point, but for a few tools (Fineliner, Paintbrush, Highlighter), it’s the average of the last two line segments’ angles—not the tangent from two points ago to the current point, but the average of the last two segments’ tangents. The consequence of this is that if you’re drawing a line with one of these tools in the positive x axis direction, you’ll regularly end up with points with spurious angles, as the average of just above 0 and just below 2π is around π.

(There’s another field speed, calculated in pixels per sample, which also has this curious average-of-last-one-or-two-segments behaviour, so that I can synthesise both of these properties perfectly for all except the first point or two of every stroke, provided the stroke hasn’t been scaled or rotated. I also feel like grumbling about the fact that marker tilt is not recorded in the file, though it influences the width field in the CalligraphyPen and Pencil tools, which you might otherwise expect to be derived from some combination of pressure, tilt and speed.)

This is just a fun curiosity I observed when reverse-engineering it all (and I was really pleased that I predicted it as soon as I discovered the average-of-last-two behaviour, and that experimentation proved it to be so); I haven’t gone far enough to identify the effect of the angle property on rendering, but Fineliner and Highlighter certainly won’t use it (I suspect Paintbrush does).

My first two guesses on this Boeing issue are: some sort of mishandling of the point of angle discontinuity, or division by zero.
From the Github page, "I started this because I wanted to do C network programming"

I think this is a poor choice (from a security perspective). It should be written in Go or rust. C programs (exposed to the network) are dangerous even when written by experienced developers.

Really, in 2022, everything Internet facing should be written in a memory safe language, running as a normal user (no root) and have a strong MAC policy applied. Anything else is too risky.
What is going on in the comments here? Are there really people on HN that think Russia spent all that time, money, and effort to amass their troops on the border just as a ruse, and the intelligence services are just making it all up?
We have been using inlets when it had just come out in 2020. It is super robust. It is a great way to peer various cluster for eg. Other usecases where we use it is to connect multi cluster by expose api server to our platform. We had to build lot of tooling before around the product. Now it looks like they have build a pretty good stack around inlet[1].

From my perspective, it is like ngrok but for kubernetes.

The casual disregard some US visitors have for staff anywhere is appalling.
I think you misunderstand what I mean when I say: "the open web is dead". Its reach is dead.

Previously, the "open web" was all there was, before the online walled gardens. Users were trained to get information that way. Now that traffic's been captured by the walled gardens that optimize for engagement. There's a reason Google Reader died, Google stated it: "declining use and relevance".

Going viral is essential to growing an audience. TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter offer that. The open web doesn't.

IIRC GDPR only applies if you are operating a business or organization.

Depending on how this project is structured, it wouldn’t have to process your GDPR request.

Edit: I was only partially correct. According to Article 2, Point 2C, the regulation (GDPR) does not apply to the processing of personal data “ by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity”

So if this project can be viewed as a personal project (which I suppose it could, in theory…), then it wouldn’t have to comply.

How likely is it that google would block joe rogan's website from search results for joe rogan?

I feel like people keep dodging a central issue here - joe rogan is not an independent being silenced on the open web by centralized platforms - he effectively sold the show to one of the platforms. They decide what happens with it (specifics of the terms of their agreement notwithstanding).

this isn't the first controversial audio programming on the internet, but it is the first one that is effectively owned by one of the listening platforms that actually has the power to do something without wading into unfathomably complicated waters, if they want to. that they (until today?) seemed not to want to - or to pretend that their relationship to the show is the same as twitter's relationship to me - is what is keeping this in the news.

To be 100% clear - it's not obvious to me what anyone should do in this case; joe, spotify, etc. I have my own opinions about the cost / benefit on the content but I also know enough to expect that things are probably more complicated than the popular narrative I have access to.

What I do know for sure is that Joe would have more control of his show's destiny, not less, if he had decided to keep distributing in a way that did not give a single entity complete control over whether a given piece of content could be distributed at all.
Huh, you're right. It's been a while since I added mine but it's indeed not an M.2, it's an mSATA. Thanks for the correction.
Because he's a compassionate and free thinking interviewer who approaches a conversation like a real human being. With respect for the individual whether the person has controversial opinions or not, which seems to be something lost in media these days with the constant need to be 'right'.

His interviews aren't template question a, template question b, it comes across like a natural conversation, an opportunity to talk to experts in a plethora of different topics and gain an insight to the distilled wisdom of individuals who have spent their life researching their respective fields.

Personally anyway ^^
> They can easily use safety under “weights and balances” as the reason.

How would it play out for them to invoke that law disingenuously?

They won't use it to fly with an empty seat, nobody wants that except maybe a couple adjacent passengers who might enjoy the elbow room. The airline certainly doesn't want an empty seat.

If they stated out loud to someone that weight in that seat puts the passengers' lives at risk, then seats another person there, I'd hope the backlash would be instant and severe.
What's funny is that Joe Rogan was an active participant on the 'open web'. He had his own a website with a blog and discussion forums, and the podcast started as vlog entries in a text blog.

For example:

I love flying first class. The seats are just so much more comfortable. I can’t justify the extra $300-500+ per ticket for what is at most 5-6 hours though.

I’ve only done it once but we sat on the runway for over an hour and I didn’t care at all.

The other time I was on the runway for awhile I had to take a spirit or southwest flight and that was awful.

I’m always so uncomfortable and I’m not even a big person, 5’11” and 200lbs.

The only thing that has ever made a flight decent besides first class was taking etizolam and being knocked out the whole way through the flight.
The parent poster was talking about US intelligence. We should not believe them since they fabricated the whole WMD nonsense as a reason to start war in Iraq. Nobody is giving the benefit of the doubt to Russia here, as they haven't said anything.

Given the situation, I dont see much reason for a pretext on Russias part. They will either pull the trigger on this thing or not. At this point vlad would probably feel weak if he backed down, so things are kind of stuck.

Last time at least they showed some white powder.

My hunch is Ukraine is preparing to launch an offensive against the rebels (low intensity fights have been since the separation) and Russia will step in whatsoever. I don't expect Russian to launch a full scale offensive because it just doesn't make sense.
I'm definitely no expert. But it feels to me that Russia really does not want to invade Ukraine. This feels like a bluff. It's been going on too long and has been too telegraphed.

I worry that the West "calling this bluff" will force Putin into doing something he doesn't really want to do, though. Maybe there will be a "minor incursion" then some kind of "agreement" so everyone can save face?
Isn’t this the packaging that as used as an excuse to invade Iraq?
