This is very interesting!

Would love to see a similar list but weight by the ratio of men who don't know versus women who don't know aka words that known by 90% of males and 80% of females (or visa versa). This is very interesting but not that surprised that many people don't know boson or servo or checksum or technical words.
They need Safari on Windows, Developer Edition.

But instead they force you to buy an M1 Mac mini for testing, or rent one on AWS or other Cloud. They will spend PR resources attacking those site that doesn't support Safari, which may harm their user on iOS. And force them to support Safari by spending money on Apple. Brilliant strategy by Tim Cook.

Edit: I know you could use other webkit browser on Windows for testing.
HD Radio is closed and proprietary, but there is at least one FOSS receiver out there: https://github.com/theori-io/nrsc5

The protocol itself is actually standardized: https://www.nrscstandards.org/standards-and-guidelines/docum...

It's just the audio codec that's proprietary, but it's basically just a slightly modified version of AAC so it's been decoded.
Does anyone know of a similar sort of estimates for AES? Do we know if Grover's algorithms can or cannot be applied to AES?

Thanks.
yeah, i agree. and zootopia is self vs societal norms, but each of them have a more "traditional" villain, so i included them in the traditional group.
it stills makes no sense. We should stop this 1984 nonsense

Then add a "we work best in chrome" to your error pages as a workaround when it actually fails, not before you even try.

There's no need for the "go use X browser right now" messages unless you're taking advantage of some bleeding edge API that only exists in one place.
This is ridiculous. Are password complexity requirements also "the switch where the bodyguard becomes the kidnapper"?
Reminds me of Randall Munroe's hilarious report on his color survey, specifically the section on gender differences: https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/
It does seem like the female words are more obviously foreign (specifically French) whereas the male words tend towards being more technical.
What is it you want? Should they have gone to a Bugatti factory and asked Bugatti engineers to make them one? What would be the point?
A recall is a return or call back of product to the manufacturer for repair. That is the definition of a recall (call back).

Software updates are routinely carried out and don't require a recall of the vehicle to the dealer or manufacturer.

So recalling these vehicles is ridiculous by the authorities.

It really isn’t for most websites. There are a handful of APIs to be careful about but a mainstream website shouldn’t take much time at all. I do most of my development in Firefox and most of the time it works unmodified in Chrome and Safari. Mobile browsers can be trickier but most of that is adjusting for the form factor rather than the browser.
> historical bias

How historical are you going back here? I'm almost 50 years old and as far back as I can remember, everybody with any authority was working non-stop to teach science to girls and crafts to guys - even to the point of rejecting guys from science classes.
TY, I didn't know that. Thank you.

I know "it's never aliens", and proof is required first, but I personally believe, deducing in a Holmes-like fashion (after you remove the impossible only the truth remains) that what we're seeing is consistent with us being the first ones around. I think we're the ancients. Maybe life is easy but first to arise will be extremely confused.
You can also encounter those words in a high school or college physics course, which is where I associate them.
Jacquard is actually an interesting one to me, because it overlaps the two major subject areas (fashion/textiles and science/tech). It's also one I (male) knew, while I didn't know most of the "more female" words.

The Jacquard loom was programmable with punch cards, and is a very important early predecessor of computers (especially Babbage's analytical engine). IIRC, there's one (or a replica) in the Computer History Museum.

Jacquard also refers to the kind of fabric the loom could produce.
No, the Git default is still master. GitHub changed their default to main.
In principle, it is not more a restriction that government forcing you to wear pants in public (and they will force you if you try to challenge this).

Not allowing you at all to somewhere or not after some time is a real restriction.
You can change it in settings. I recently started new repo and it was easy to set up to be master.

If only we could channel all this lost time, money, and productivity into addressing the actual roots of societal problems, _in the real world._
Nintendo 64 had a 9-bit RAM (Rambus RDRAM). Only 8 bits of each byte were accessible from the MIPS CPU for obvious reasons; the 9th bit was only used by the GPU (called "RDP") to store extra information while rendering (begin a UMA architecture, the CPU used the same RDRAM used by the CPU). Typically it contained a flag called "coverage" that was used to discriminate pixels on the edge of polygons, that were later subject to antialiasing. By reading back pixels using the CPU, you would be unable to see the coverage flag.
I'm skeptical about the result for katana, though. Women are almost as likely to know "boson" as "katana"?
It is because when we have this discussion it is 95% about credentials and 5% about education.

I mean almost every class is available to be audited online for free. Most professors are average when it comes to teaching ability. There is no reason a foreign school can not mirror any program or class in the US.

Of course, the value of the credential is a totally different story. We are really talking about the education equivalent of Louis Vuitton bags and not the general function of a bag.
I'm a techno-nerd guy but knew all those fabrics most guys apparently don't. In my early 20s I was really into sewing, which is fascinating from an engineering perspective, highly recommend as a hobby to get you away from that monitor. Both the tools and processes used in sewing are really interesting.
Lest we forget NYT being used as a mouthpiece for Dick Cheney and forming the foundation of the invasion of Iraq. I'll stump for the importance of journalism at any level (esp. the local level) but the willingness of major outlets to accept and regurgitate anything from cops/3-letter orgs is absolutely confounding.
I am not defending anything. I am not saying it's the right way to do it. I am just reporting my own observation of how the industry currently operates, from the perspective of someone working in the industry.

English speakers. If you look at the original study they have a similar breakdown for US vs. UK, which is almost more interesting.
He was very upset when I questioned the requirement.

To give him the benefit of the doubt maybe it was an artificial question and the real question is how do you make a large scale "cloud native" system say something like Netflix / Facebook.

Of course the problem with those systems is that it's very difficult to explain it in detail of every part in an interview so his example was just a small part of that system. Also most companies do not require that level of scalability but I concede they are fun to build just not very fun to maintain/operate.

I have no doubt that the architecture I described was something he had personally built as part of what he was doing at the company. Me questioning that was probably taken as an attack.

I never got the job or even a single word of feedback.
Words falling out of use and words being taken out of use are two altogether different beasts. I suspect you might be commenting disingenuously, though.
I'd agree - once I get outside of a major US city, and get into Tier II and Tier III cities, and then into rural america with its small towns, I find a whole wealth of experiences that I just.. cant get otherwise.

Sometimes they're vibrant little untouched spots on the map - sometimes they're little dried up outposts of humanity, with some grand buildings left as testament that people once believed this place would prosper, and that there was money here at some point.

It's something I've always wondered at - you go out to rural america, there are a ton of small towns with really grand buildings in them, clear evidence that there was capital there at one point - and now its all gone - where and why did it go? The when is obvious usually, the other two, not as much. Thats an aside however.

I'll defend eating at the familiar when tired or worn out, but I do suggest trying the local color, you never know what you'll find out there - it might be good or bad, but it will almost certainly be memorable.
pessary too, though oddly, I knew that one.

I believe whenever the “no automation/scraping/bots” clause in Ts&Cs has been test in court they have never held up. However that’s not to say a service can’t just cancel your account if you are found to be using one.

Running a site thats had a bot get stuck in a loop and suddenly x10000 times the request rate, when they go wrong it’s super annoying for the website owner. We ultimately just banned the whole AWS ip ranges.

Yeah, it's very nearly all fabric or textile-related from what I can tell. Bet you could make the same list by picking any two sex-skewed hobbies and charting words that see little use outside those interests.

I see your point, but I don't think it's a good counter-example. News needs a new paradigm entirely most-likely. The NYT isn't "the news" and the only options seem to be subscriptions and/or ads. For smaller operations, the problem gets a lot harder a lot faster since there's an upper-bound on the number of people they serve.
Totally, the problem is all expectations. I bought a NordicTrack S22i (their peloton competitor) in early 2019, and love it. I pay like $450 a year or something for my family subscription to them and occasional maintenance on the hardware. Pretty sure NordicTrack has a decent profit margin and is a nicely sustainable business given that my mom had a NordicTrack 30 years ago.

They have the same features as Peloton in terms of classes and stuff, but nobody is looking to them to be the next Netflix. That’s the space Peloton is playing in.
Two times as much energy as 1997. That’s… dissapointing?
A proposed answer, probably by someone from here as it was just commented:

> Is it a lot of hassle to fork, make some script (maybe github action?) to auto update your fork, and use git symbolic-ref to make master point to main? Once you have your auto update in place you're basically hands off from there right?

I feel like there’s a satire tag missing.
Wow, sorry to hear you went through that. I do a lot of metal fab (hobbyist) and that is basically my worst nightmare.
I totally get you and absolutely agree, but we're entering into in a vastly new world and your concern isn't the only one anymore.

If a foreign nation's service uses algorithms to promote its interests and quell that of its adversaries or attempts to alter election outcomes to be favorable, then we're in for trouble.

Imagine social media creating worker strikes, riots, getting certain politicians elected, influencing the next generation of kids to prefer limits on free speech, influencing kids to not pursue science and engineering, etc.

This is a complicated issue.

The algorithm can be used for warfare.

I'm pretty sure that in most of my science classes (biochemistry/biology), outside of advanced grad-level organic synthesis, which then had a "fighter pilot jock"-vibe, the gender ratio was 50/50 if not more female than male, so this trend goes back 20+ years. But if you look at the list, the scientific terms skew physics, and for... cultural reasons, I suspect the non-specialist penetration of a lot of those terms probably skews male.
I try to remain grounded and check myself, and this may be me in tin foil hat territory, but the game here on the part of the CCP is long. If ever there is a time for 'think of the children', this is it. Political scandals are already getting more and more private - just imagine what it will be like in 20 years when the current crop of teens are starting to run for high office. And in case you're thinking, well too bad for them, plenty of teens don't do dumb things - that's true, but this will be dream kompromat for nation states controlling this data. I know Meta et al have the same data and are insanely powerful, but they're not nation states and are at least in theory, accountable.
At this point, I'm not really interested in buying one, but I'm pretty excited for the Steam Deck from the perspective of mobile computing and repairability.

Nintendo has made repairing the Switch a pain and is very anti-consumer in giving you access to your save data without forking over more money.

In a similar vein, I think it's cool to see Sony take a more repair friendly approach with the PS5. Taking the sides off for cleaning or replacement is super easy and as a bonus creates an extra revenue stream for new accessories.

The amount of really cool stuff hacker types are going to get out of the Deck is one area to look forward to. Heck, this could be the mobile workstation tons on this site have been asking for since the iPad debuted.

When demand for the Deck dies down, I think I'll buy one if only to show Valve that I support the product and their respect for consumers.

> You can generate a wildcart cert for *.internal.yourdomain.tld. But then, it's a pretty big master key if you lose control of it.

For a home network, this is less relevant, since many of the services (and the nginx gateway) are running on the same host as the cert resides on. If they grab the wildcard cert, they're already in a position to mess with the services directly, no SSL MITM needed

No one cares but I went 12/20 on the female words. Most of the ones I knew are fashion-related or flowers. The ones I didn't know (and looked up) are female reproduction-related.
There always seem to be a dozen problems with American colleges at all times yet so many flock there for higher education (mainly for Masters).

When I was more up on issues in education years ago, I read that people come here for an education because they can. In their country, there may be barriers to education that we don't have.

If you are an adult who wants an education and can pay for it, the US will let you pursue it. That isn't always true in other countries.
Interesting. Was this someone at HN updating based on that or does the submission system automatically use canonical over submitted url if present?

You're free to name a Github branch "master" if you want.

If you were writing this in 2019 I would agree with you.

This perception is just already 3 years old now and so that social network has already gotten its additional audiences and many of those high schoolers (and their influencers) have grown up.

There is a similarity of looking at Facebook in 2005 and looking at Facebook in 2008, and add in a much faster adoption cycle and infrastructure.
Gotcha. Makes sense to keep things simple.

Political parties typically do, and some are known to use Telegram for their internal groups.

Any leakage of secret knowledge shared only through these groups could be detected as treason by one of the participants in that channel. Having several channels with fewer and fewer members, closer to the party's leadership, is a typical configuration to maintain control of the most secret information.
Maybe they meant from a frozen solid state?
People who are really into spin classes do not lack motivation to exercise - they're in it for the classes - this is where people who equate Peloton to a stationary bike are completely missing the point. The classes are the point. The instructors (who are the absolute best spin instructors money could buy), the music, the programming/training - these are the things that users love about Peloton. If I just wanted to ride a bike then I'd do Zwift cycling, but that's a totally different activity. Spinning != cycling, and Peloton != gym equipment.
Most of the fabric words I have distinct memories, as an adult, of asking some one (usually a woman) what the word meant. Tulle in particular was hilariously difficult to figure out.

I find it ironic that you criticise feature request feedback for big report requests and then your Tesla example "bug report" is arguably an enhancement request, not a bug.
