This is normal crotchety "kids these days" silliness. Most IntelliJ autocomplete suggestions are things like:
* syntactic constructs (e.g. 'v' -> 'void', 'p' -> 'public').
* variable names you've already defined, or likely will define (e.g. 'MyFoo m' -> 'myFoo').
* methods names you've already defined or method names in commonly-used modules.
The idea that the average programmer writing in an IDE is using functions that the IDE suggested, (but they have no idea what those functions do), is nonsensical.
In addition to giving you (extremely rudimentary) autocomplete, IntelliJ gives you the ability to browse the libraries you've imported and read their doc. It gives you the ability to quickly see where variables were defined. It gives you the ability to conduct mass renames, move methods into new classes, and to conduct complicated syntax-aware search-and-replaces. It gives you an effective debugging GUI for tests, and allows you to inspect variables at will.
I do believe that, as an IntelliJ programmer, I have lost my memory for certain language-specific details, (e.g. the fact that in Java, it is Collection::isEmpty vs. Collection::empty), but it's arguable whether these sorts of details are actually useful information for a working programmer.
Useful, accurate article. Sometime in 2020 I started using Brave as my default browser on the suggestion of a more-privacy-concerned engineer and it definitely saves a lot of resources over Chrome. I was tethering via my phone most of the time and definitely recommend it generally based on the experience. Brave search I haven't found to be as effective as the article suggests, but can take another look and will be curious to see how that effort goes--it seems promising.
This is a story about a group playing with legos.

A small cohort within the group had full control over who could and could not use the legos, and how they were allowed to be used.

When this cohort saw other members using the legos in ways they didn't like, they took the legos away from them.

After a lengthy ideological exercise, everyone was allowed to use legos again on terms that were more ideal to the original cohort.
Experience suggests otherwise.
I wonder how many modals use the fine-print button, or even an X, as the primary one, having trained so many users to instantly close modals by searching for those.
You mean like the Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel? https://idlewords.com/2007/04/the_alameda_weehawken_burrito_...
Yeah, I used to think the same thing (that Airtable is a Gsheets and Excel competitor). I find it more like Access + Excel. It's a database software with a nice and powerful front end.
This is an interesting point because I think the idea behind this particular app is the opposite of what you are seeing as an advantage. With the disclosure that I was out of the dating game before apps existed, and the accompanying lack of first-hand understanding, is it really a benefit to have more options than you can shake a stick at?

Another, more sustainable, option is to make it more pleasant to live in downtown areas. NYC probably doesn’t have this issue as much as others, but plenty of smaller cities were completely dead on the weekends because few actually live downtown. It’s way more sustainable to have neighborhoods built on many small businesses and hundreds of families. If a small business shuts down or someone moves out, it doesn’t have a huge impact on the overall neighborhood. Compare to huge businesses employing thousands. If they move, it is obviously devastating to the local economy because this one entity was the bedrock of the town. (Especially a thing in lots of smaller towns and cities!)

NYC doesn’t have that problem maybe, but many cities will have to deal with this shift, and the solution isn’t to be regressive but to start finding new ways to make these places vibrant.
True, logs do needs to be stored somewhere. What l meant was: if the info is so important for the business, that detail should be stored in a system that provides a longer durability than just logging it.
That's way less of a problem than you make it out to be. As long as you don't use some kind of bridge but just a local zigbee or wifi network not connected to the internet everything will stay as is until a device physically breaks. Few devices actually need a cloud connection and and there are always alternatives that don't.
This blog post read a little like an ad itself to be honest.
Oh yeah, the devil is definitely in the details. Ideally the matches given should be proportional to the “chances” you give.

If the purpose is to create relationships then I believe people shouldn’t be able to match too many times without giving “chances”.

The app could facilitate this through ice breakers or perhaps embedded small games or showing a TikTok or other short video to facilitate conversation.

The problem is that modern apps make people do all the work, which is fine, but there are some who require a little push or something explicitly to discuss to get started.

I believe that is what the creators of this virus must be relying on.
All I hope is that creating this image virus doesn't become common knowledge (cause that we will fundamentally reshape how we interact on social media).
I particularly like the push this idea would give users to really take some time with their writing. So many Tinder profiles are either blank or almost-blank. You're left starting or carrying on a conversation with almost nothing to go on.
Higher compression yields better fuel efficiency and power. But the concomitant higher compression produces higher temperatures pushing the fuel air mixture past the flash point.

Aircraft engines during takeoff commonly increase mixture to cool things down at the cost of unconsumed fuel.

Water-methanol injection was also used in late high power piston engines during takeoff and even in early turbine engines such as the Dart in the Viscount.

In the mid '70s I bought a Renault 5. After leaving the dealer I read the owner manual and discovered that it required premium gasoline. A year or two later, premium was displaced by unleaded and I had a knock problem. Being a pilot I found that a couple gallons of 100 octane aviation fuel mixed with a tank of regular fixed the knock problem. Long trips were managed from airport to airport and a carried an Explosafe™ fuel container for when an airport was not in reach.

Aviation octane went up to 130,but was phased out when the airlines dropped their piston fleets.

130 octane was a major factor in the Allies winning WWII.

In general, any trait associated with a given gender is more attractive the more "saturated" that trait is in a representative of that gender. Men generally have deeper voices, are taller, more muscular than women, so the more of that trait a man has, the more attractive it is. In woman, I'm sure you can fill in some traits. Of course, there is an upper limit on any such trait where at a certain level it becomes grotesque. Women like men who are manly, and vice versa. In general.

Strategy is valued by a lot of viewers, myself included. As I pointed out the victory by the mathematician Anna Kiesenhofer in cycling was amazing to see, even though there was no dramatic race, because she used more math and strategy than the others.

But it was still better because it was a race, and you could see how far behind the others were. But a nerd is going to love that race.

It's just not the same when they race with the clock, and of course it takes a long longer. It is the most fair, which is what you want from the standard of making an academic measurement of athletics, and that is valuable. But in terms of spectator excitement per unit time, it's just too far down the list.

SOTA accuracy on a similar but more challenging problem (5-shot 20-way rather than 60-shot 10-way) appears to be around 99.6%: https://paperswithcode.com/sota/few-shot-image-classificatio...

Depends how strict you're being with this. There's room for the gap to shrink, but I think on average classifiers (whether organic or machine) with a large number of examples to go off of will always perform at least marginally better than classifiers with fewer examples.

They did! And they were! You can’t stop prospective daters from being lazy, but the idea is that if that’s all someone posted for their text profile then they can’t rely on their beauty to get interest, and therefore they’ll never be matched.

The main difference is expectation, mainly.

Is there a dating app where I can defeat inferior suitors in single combat of some kind? I was seriously considering a dance-off app for that, where you have a profile and can issue challenges to groups of other users, who are informed of who they think your competitors are, and then pick winners. It wasn't really fair though because it was a game I would always win. But something like it would be cool.
It's kind of like how an implicit side effect in "normal" FP languages is that memory is being allocated.

NYC is rare among American cities in that they impose their own income tax separately from state and federal income taxes. And it applies not just to residents but also to workers who commute in from outside the city. If those employees keep working from home in Connecticut or New Jersey then they no longer have to pay the NYC tax. So I suspect the Mayor is starting to panic about his budget deficit.
Yikes. Also sort of ironic given their app's name.
There is no app here. It is just an Airtable form. Hacker News title is misleading.

I've come to think that the only ethical way to fund a dating service is to make it a nonprofit with no free accounts, and mostly community-run. I can't see any other way to remove the temptation to add user-hostile [anti-]features that increase revenue.
Has it ever been common to pay people by the value they create as opposed to their replacement cost?

It’s a market. You can create millions in value but if someone else can create the same value and will take the job for $100k, why not just hire them?

From what I've read and heard, most truck driving jobs (every thing from rollback/tow trucks to long distance OTR) are full of ex-cons or ASPD type individuals-- it may even be a pre-requisite for towing companies.

Day labor like roofing, sheetrock, landscaping, etc. also typically have similar representation. Any temp agency for factory work will have a threshold or types of conviction that they will overlook, but they may be even more hostile towards their workers.
> He may be guilty as hell but the fact of the matter is that doesn't mean the FBI can just take his stuff, it doesn't matter how guilty you look until you are convicted you are innocent, and the fact that it has been 20 months and there still haven't been any charges brought is ridiculous. Their money was taken before they were convicted and now they are not receiving a speedy and fair trial.

I'm against civil forfeiture, but the problem here is easy to see. If you come at someone and say "we think you got $large_amount via illegal means, but go ahead and do whatever you want with it until the court proceedings are finished", the money is going to be spent or stashed in nearly every case where the person is guilty. It would make it difficult to ever recover money for the victims of crime.

Not sure how to solve that dilemma.

Philadelphia recently changed their enforcement of the "City Wage Tax" to protect against such things. If you were hired for a position in the city you must pay the tax if your WFH is 40 miles from city limits. They're currently threatening all business small and large with an audit if they don't comply. We've been through four different accounting firms who all told us the same thing.

It's unfortunate but it's still better than paying the tax and making the commute.

You could actually employ that strategy on Tinder, no need for a separate app. Allthough looking for a soulmate using optimal stopping does not seem like a good match, anyways.

Concrete is 2.4 times the density of water, according to Google, steel rebar is about 8. The video mentioned that they were plugged (and thus full of air) and were being given additional lift by the barges so they could float and be towed.

Speaking about pre-shuffling and blending, you can try doing twice as much work with vectors. Pre-shuffle slices of 32 keys into [ 0, 4, 8, 12 .. ], [ 1, 5, 9, 13.. ] etc, then when searching combine 0-2 and 1-3 pairs of vectors with _mm256_blend_epi16(a, b, 0b10101010), then merge with _mm256_blendv_epi8 using _mm256_set1_epi16((short)0xFF00) for the blending mask.

This way _mm256_movemask_epi8 will get you a bitmap of 32 bits for 32 integer keys you can scan with _mm_tzcnt_32. Especially good on AMD where vpblendvb completes in a single cycle, Zen 3 can even run 2 of them per clock.

Indiehackers makes a lot of sense since they can sell builders on using Stripe Payments and Stripe Atlas on Day 0.

Here though, I'm not so sure - maybe they try to sell intellectual content creators on a Gumroad alternative via Stripe Checkout? Seems like too small of an opportunity to be worth pursuing

Edit: honestly, could just be a recruiting play. IMO they have the brand "our founders are incredibly intellectually curious, and some of the smartest people work here", and this acquisition could help strengthen that brand. I think this could be the most plausible reason.
You can even handle impressions/clicks/conversions in a lossy system, you just have to bound how much loss you're willing to accept. The counterbalancing factor is how expensive you want your logging infrastructure to be -- the more consistency, the more it costs. The other trade off is availability: what do you do when the logging backend is temporarily down? Return a 503 to the user? Or accept that you're not making money on that impression and move on?
It's a good aim. It's not something you can necessarily encode in law.

Even accepting your claim that they were twisting the children's words, there's no indication they relayed any of that analysis back to the children. Then they did use legos in a teaching exercise (one that I bet will stick with them), then they brought them back in a healthier way.

It sounds like your real complaint is you don't agree with the lesson they taught, or maybe even just the language they used to describe it. If so you should say that, not pretend they didn't try.
