Probably reasonable guesses.

Though, I'd expect these to be moved to allowed guesses, there's some very obscure stuff in the allowed guess list.

Probably just a first pass by whoever's in charge of standards. Now I'm trying to guess if this was a simple pass with an "approved words" list, or if there was a mind-numbing meeting where they spent a day or two looking at words.
So effectively - initial key file leaked or otherwise duplicated between systems but system as a whole not compromised.
there's a lot of jobs like this out there -- and a lot of people working in them -- but you pay a premium for it. I think economists even have a term for it. employers don't have to charge as much when people are willing to take a pay cut to do the work.

be careful what you wish for, though. in the entertainment industry, for people like actors and directors, the pay cut is only at the early stages, and unions limit how deep it goes even then. for video games, though, it's an absolute nightmare. interest alignment in work, in that case, can turn into a recipe for suffering.
Yep. But there is also potential for civil disobedience / mischief there.
ES imports on the web have a lot of restrictions around where they can be placed in code. Trying to pass a variable in for the path results in a syntax error. There are basically a lot of syntax requirements that make it basically impossible to do imports that aren't statically analyzable without the need to run the code.

However, given that ES imports are basically trying as hard as possible to be explicitly defined static imports that can be analyzed ahead of time before code is run -- it prompts the question, why would you ever choose to use that system in a native environment where you could have have an explicit install step?

ES Imports are trying very hard to imitate what Node already has, and I can't figure out what the advantage is of building an import system that imitates dynamic imports, but isn't dynamic. My understanding was that Deno went that direction just to make webpack bundling easier and to decrease the amount of new syntax. I felt like that was not great reasoning at the time, but I sort of get it.

But note that when I look at Deno's docs[0], the first paragraph I see says:

> One convention places all these dependent URLs into a local deps.ts file. Functionality is then exported out of deps.ts for use by local modules.

> Continuing this convention, dev only dependencies can be kept in a dev_deps.ts file.

It's almost like Deno is advising developers to put their dependencies in (just trying to come up with a random descriptive term off the top of my head) a package file. Next, wouldn't be it be great if that list of dependencies could also specify other things like a set of common scripts, or instructions on how to run the program if it's imported? There's potentially a really good concept embedded in those docs.

Deno was made by smart people, and it was made by smart people who also created Node and are intimately familiar with it. So I don't want to be dismissive because I'm sure they had some reasons for this, but I don't understand why any of this exists or who it benefits, or why the syntax is exciting given that Deno itself seems to be immediately advising people not to use it directly.

Probably cause we've only tested a few, not that it matters though. Humans take a pretty long time to recognize themselves in the mirror. I wonder if the mirror test would change if we would expose the animals for a almost a year before doing the test, just like humans.

That said even ants pass the test, i.e. they were recently(2015) tested.

But the whole thing can be characterized as: "Let me make up a random test, according to my personal opinion of what defines cognition and then see if a random animal I choose passes it".

Every couple of years we have requests of slews of psychology papers requested to be invalidated because they're unreproducible.

Ask HN: What are you looking for in your ideal customer service platform?
My co-founder and I used to be in the fintech space. We used Zendesk to answer customer support tickets. We found a few big shortcomings with Zendesk as we used it: (1) no good secured messaging/PII masker to securely send KYC docs and ensure the info wasn't seen by those that shouldn't; (2) we hated tickets -- they felt transactional and we were running a company that was intended to have super long lifetime value, so a continuous feed would be preferable, and (3) it lacked an effective real-time collaboration interface a la Slack meaning we'd be talking tickets on Slack. We're thinking more deeply now about what would make killer support software, especially for early-stage companies where moving and learning fast are necessary.

I built a fun project to help build a morning journal habit. It works for me because I stay on top of my email inbox. The service emails me a journal prompt every morning and I save my entries by replying to the message, filling out the questions in line. If this sounds interesting there's a free trial available at https://mymomentjournal.com.

I had a lot of fun building this and thinking through the user-flows while I was out on long runs. That alone was satisfying enough, but it would be fun for more people to use it!
Can't tell if you're joking, but I think they mean that the positive effects of making the promise are immediate for Macron, but he won't have to deal with the actual cost, logistics, political maneuvering, etc., until after he's re-elected, if at all.

Everything about Cloudflare reminds me of early Google. Loved by most, providing great services for free or very affordable, communicates both formally and informally via proxies/employees, seems to be providing only innovative and in-demand services, more reliable than any alternative, humble and honest when they fuck up, and increasing in market share.

I am very concerned about when that bubble bursts, considering the essentially MitM nature of many of CF's offerings.

They bought eyes and personal data, probably for a steal.

But I don't bemoan the Wardle heehee guy who sold it. I'm very happy for him.

The game concept isn't unique. It just struck a nice balance of complexity and simplicity that satisfied a large audience. It reminds me of Threes game in that way.

As for the commercialization, "This is the way of things." That's fine. There will be more good ideas, and the beauty here is that we are now all free to build them with less distraction. Maybe you'll build something fun and get rich, without having to go through a FAANG (or is it now MAANG?) interview series.

I'm afraid my experience is with local companies, so unless you're in the central belt if Scotland, it won't be much use.

The two companies I'm thinking of recruit only for IT. If you have a local IT recruiting company, give them a call. If they take the time to understand your motivations and skills, it's probably a good start.

I've noticed a huge difference between specialist IT recruiters and regular firms. I don't bother speaking to firms not focused on IT. At list the specialist firms actually know what it is you're offering and understand what their clients are after.

I think this actually falls in line with most subreddits. You build or support a community because you want to discuss something and there isn't anywhere else to do it.

This is kind of a loose interpretation of the "gets a lot of attention" requirement though.

> "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something"

I admit that the tone of my post may have been inflammatory. However I don't think that it's fair to characterise my post as a shallow dismissal. I maintain that my opening rebuke of Hicks: "For all of his criticism of the stuffy conservative establishment..." constitutes more than a superficial critique. My dislike of Hicks stems from my view that his worldview discouraged people from joining in the task of reforming the system in which they live. He did nothing to encourage people to invest in themselves, or strive for lofty goals for the sake of humanity. I really dislike his attitude, and I loathe the insinuation that there is any profound insight to be gained from his apathy, and smugness. My opinion is that if you subtracted the establishment that he so limply derides, there would be no substance remaining in him.
It’s too late. Banks have already priced into fixed rates the expectation of rate increases. This is what the newspapers mean when they talk about “market expects 4 rate hikes in 2022” and similar. It is already priced into the yield curve by traders.
Depends on your definition of inflation. If you're just talking about money supply, sure. If you're talking about prices, no. It is entirely conceivable that consumption increases faster than the speed at which we can mine, which would probably set off a deflationary spiral as wall st starts to hoard cash.

Why is OOP so bad, anybody? With scenarios, code samples or alternate implementations?
> I think the idea that our preferences are transient, that none are really more right than any other, and that therefore there's nothing really at stake in letting your interests be swapped out for different interests, is what I regard as moral relativism.

I don't really see this as moral relativism at all? It's maybe a kind of psychological relativism, a la nature vs. nurture. And there, yes, I'm definitely skeptical of the idea that we have "true" underlying desires/preferences/values as opposed to "false"/influenced ones.

This is (maybe a bit ironically) sort of inline with Buddhist views of self. Though I don't think you have to go as far as saying that the self is an _illusion_ to at least acknowledge that the self isn't immutable.

That said I'm _not_ claiming that any desire is as good as any other. There are certainly desires that are worse to have (smoking, murder) than others.
Current stalking laws already cover such abuses of airtags. I see quite a few comments in this thread proposing a total ban of airtags, which makes about as much sense to me as wanting to restrict chef knives.
>For example, you're right that a notification on our homepage, in addition to our docs

I don't remember it being in the docs either, as that would have also saved me from signing up on the Discord.

And this isn't an issue of prioritization. Remember, your overworked volunteers and maintainers on the Discord are still spending hours every day fielding questions in #user-support that could have been answered by a link in prominent places. You're wasting more person-hours than you would have with effective communication and trivial updates in prominent places.

You didn't even benefit your own goals by leaving those out!

So no, I guess I don't understand what the huge barrier is to putting out these important notices.
you need to prepare for what you know what will happen, not just what you hope will happen.
Let me separate out immutability for a moment.

If I don't have immutability, then if I can call foo(thing), then I can write bar(), and then call bar(thing). Bar can now alter thing. So my encapsulation can be broken by someone just writing a function. (This is the same problem that C had with structs - anyone could write a function to alter the data in your struct, and thereby put it in an inconsistent state.)

Now, with something like C++, you can still do that. You have to go to thing, though, and write a new thing.bar(). It therefore becomes much clearer that bar() may break the consistency guarantees of thing.

So I don't think that just functional gives you the guarantees that OO encapsulation does.

Now, immutability changes things... a little bit. But with immutability, the problem only moves, it doesn't go away. Someone can now write a bar() that returns a new/altered thing, and then pass it to me. I can still get a thing that is in a state that violates the rules for what a thing is supposed to be.

And, once again, the same thing can happen with OO. It's just that, if it happens, you have a lot less code to look through to try to figure out how and where it happened.

You may have noticed that I care a lot about data being in a consistent, valid state. If you don't care about that, then my arguments may not resonate with you.
It still uses localStorage - see the key "nyt-wordle-state" in the new site.
Oh I should have added this is in Australia.

And yes you can move on, but you're still in an unnecessary position (looking for work while not employed) through no fault of your own.

also, you do not have the root password for your phone, or your e-reader, or your TV, or your watch, or ... you get the idea.
Every other url shortener has the massive advantage over yours of providing urls that can actually be used to retrieve the information, whereas your codes are meaningless unless someone is already aware of the service. Furthermore, I would argue they are not "recognizable" because the format you've chosen already has a well-known unrelated meaning for hex notation.
I'm not sure it's the structure of the language itself as much as it's how error-tolerant fluent speakers are.

> This sort of begs the question: where does classical OOP, the one taught to all undergrad CS majors in programs that use Java or C++, really fit in nowadays?

I have no idea. The smalltalk ideal of OOP lives on in all sorts of ways, but the deep inheritance chain version that gets taught in classes? I don't think it has a place apart from maintaining existing code.

So completely different governments, in fact.
Enjoy your tax on savings.

You will bark at the wrong tree for the rest of your life. Permanent money causes inflation because the physical world isn't permanent. It needs a constant energy input to keep running. This energy input is simply ignored. So it has to be modeled after the fact via inflation.

A negative interest rate on cash makes money no longer permanent meaning money no longer has to be replicated endlessly to model energy losses or liquidity costs.

Yes, nature is stealing your youth, it's clearly a tax on youth. Imagine if you could just simulate your age being 18 on your id and everyone thinking that you are 18 forever by legal decree. At some point people will notice your grey hair and the ruse is over. They get the silly idea of adjusting your age back to your real age. Money should age via negative interest rates to be consistent with the laws of thermodynamics.
I'm convinced the big win with OOP was more about modularity and encapsulation than OOP. The whole object.method() or object.variable model was pretty nice after spending years dealing with global soup or using naming conventions. The not-so-good part in particular happened when you inherited one too many times... very easy to write, and very hard to debug, maintain, and sometimes test.

A lot of OOP's success it was timing - OO showed up right around the time that we started building large gui apps. Now we have a lot of languages that do a great job doing encapsulation at the module level, which seems to be "good enough" and functional and procedural code seems to work pretty well, and be pretty easy to maintain at the module level.
good store of value just means its value is predictable. Fiat currency actually make money a much better store of value, because monetary policy can be used to control inflation. Using intrinsically valuable goods as currency is horrible for store of value because people will always be worried that a new use or way to produce the good will be found.
> There need to be more jobs where the interest alignment in work is 100%. Disney animators, Nintendo programmers, audio programming, SpaceX engineers, ML/AI, bioinformatics, ...

Some of these jobs can involve crunch time, low pay, and other forms of employee abuse, since people are willing to suffer for the sake of their passion. Sometimes boring work is the healthier option.

The tracker beeps, and displays information to Android phones, also. They did what they could to make it easily findable.
Genuinely curious about these. Can you cite sources?

Which preprints? Why do you say autoimmune disorders have a nonzero risk and will be difficult to detect?

Do you have a source?

> multiple points of "misinformation" have been proven correct.

Which points of misinformation are now correct?
For #1, I want increase in value over time, but don't care much about volatitlity or ease of exchange.

For #2, I want low volatility (both in value and it's first derivative).

For #3, I want low volatitlity in value and logistical ease of exchange.

So, for #1, I want a different thing than for #2 & #3, for which I might want the same thing, since the needs are, though not identical, at least overlapping.

Productive investments serve #1 well, so I’d leave it to them, and leave the design of money to balance #2 & #3.
The whole of it seems to be (I'll split it into two sections):

> If an attacker has access to the system to such a degree that he can learn the internal state of the RNG, arguably there are other lower hanging vulnerabilities -- side-channel, infoleak, or otherwise -- that might have higher priority.

I think this probably matches most people's intuitions.

> On the other hand, seed files are frequently used on systems that have a hard time generating much entropy on their own, and these seed files, being files, often leak or are duplicated and distributed accidentally, or are even seeded over the Internet intentionally, where their contents might be recorded or tampered with. Seen this way, an otherwise quasi-implausible vulnerability is a bit more practical than initially thought.

This is a reiteration of "unpredictable initial seeding is hard."
Fibre could be because it might annoy American players who object to non-American English spellings.

Pupal and agora I really don't get. Maybe some uneducated players would think pupal was some dirty word (related to poop???), but agora has no negative association that I can imagine.

As for the other removed words, I think it's fortunate for the Wardle guy that that list was not publicized before it got bought. That would have created a firestorm and possibly eliminated his chance of the sale.
Should that information change someone's view on whether or not they should build new reactors?
