He didn't say you could "pin" the hash. He said you could eliminate all hashes, that don't contain the positions known, and just enumerate those which contain the known positions (perhaps by bruteforce), therefore reducing the search-space. It'd still be ridiculously expensive, of course (as in, implausible to compute in this universe). Unless I'm misunderstanding something here.

a high end high school will have a biology teacher who can teach high school students to do crispr (crispr is quite easy).

My path into biology was looking into a microscope and seeing a world of non-computer state machines that behaved like cellular automata. and then my path led back to computers because real biology is much harder than CS.

FYI the bettermeetsreality site you link to is SEO spam.

But anyway, those numbers sound about right, here's what wikipedia (and their source, https://doi.org/10.1787/uranium-2018-en) says:

> As of 2017, identified uranium reserves recoverable at US$130/kg were 6.14 million tons (compared to 5.72 million tons in 2015). At the rate of consumption in 2017, these reserves are sufficient for slightly over 130 years of supply. The identified reserves as of 2017 recoverable at US$260/kg are 7.99 million tons (compared to 7.64 million tons in 2015).

I wouldn't be too worried right now though, because Table 1.1 in uranium-2018 shows that the known recoverable uranium sources @ $40/kgU grew 50% between 2015 and 2017, and known recoverable uranium sources @ $80/kgU grew 4.6% over the same time period.

No one's going to go around prospecting unless they think they can make a profit doing it.
Nice job!

Another problem with reflexively pointing out something wrong is that it's easy to be mistaken when you're hasty. Then you have the walk back the criticism and admit you were wrong. (Or double down and quibble about what exactly you meant, if you're that kind of asshole. Dealing with these folks is very tiresome.)

This is a big reason why batch-based code review systems are great. I can quickly work through a pull request and point out every little thing that I notice because it's all a draft. Then I go back through and review my review. Sometimes things that I thought were problems are just things I didn't understand yet. Sometimes things I pointed out initially aren't even worth bringing up. And for the remaining points I can check that my feedback has the right tone and will come across well.

I really miss this cycle when I need to use something like google docs as a feedback mechanism, where all the comments I leave are immediately mailed out.

Slack is another system that encourages hasty responses. My critical feedback is better when I'm writing up an email and not participating in a realtime conversation.

Yes, that's true. But I always found it a little annoying that based on some pretty scant initial evidence he focused on a single suspect to the exclusion of all other possibilities. In the real world that would be considered pretty bad police work, notwithstanding that it turned out that his initial hunch was always right. That starts to push up pretty hard against my willing suspension of disbelief after a few dozen episodes.
I've mentioned this elsewhere but I think Hacker News needs people who are vetted users who can flag these articles with specific bits, such as "this is clickbait that oversells what happened here", or "this is an unnecessarily partisan analysis of COVID policy outcomes".

I do use Facebook for donations as our nonprofit get 100% of the donated amount, i.e. Facebook eats the fees, and that's great. But I would never use a payment system from Facebook given the lack of customer support, crazy bans (locking you out of pages, which have nothing to do with your personal profile). They forced me to violate their own rules and create a fake account, which I use to manage my pages if they decide to temporarily ban me - until one day they decide the ban to be permanent!

no. Slack sucks and I don't think companies realize just how much time and energy it wastes. I am lucky if I can get one day of focused programming in anymore. Most days I am exhausted from constant interrupts and when I finally do get time at the end of the day I am completely spent.

Everyone needs a personal guide through AWS/K8s/Infra Tool when about 50% of the time we have internal documentation answering the questions that are linked to at the top of the channel. Another 40% of questions could be figured out with light googling and 5 minutes of reading. The last 10% are legit questions around issues we have in our environment or require a deep knowledge of how the systems work together.

But hey. If companies want to pay me to babysit lazy developers I'll do it for a good price. I'm fairly close to leaving the company at this point but this seems to happen at every company I have been at once you get to a few hundred developers and my motivation has been completely sapped.

Slack is for leeches.

I love this intro.

> His message that exercise won’t help you lose weight “lacks nuance,” says exercise physiologist John Thyfault of the University of Kansas Medical Center, who says it may nudge dieters into less healthy habits.

This is funny to me because my own logs reflect this going back to about 2015. I can more easily drop 10, 20, or however many pounds when not exercising than I can when exercising. That was a really weird one because it opened up a bunch of other problems.

One follow-on problem that came up quickly: How to develop skills requiring fitness during those times, or how to maintain endurance levels when you're intentionally lowering your exercise exposure so you can lose weight. That kind of situation is pretty interesting.

Combining this with the fact that Everest climbers are apparently eating 10K+ calories a day and then up to around 20K on summit day, I have to wonder how these facts jive...if they can really temporarily push the limit, for how long, etc.

> I would call the situation untenable when the local police are no longer under control of their civilian governments, and I would say at that point the federal police stepping in is entirely appropriate.

This is not how Canada works unfortunately. Provinces there are essentially in control of everything and either have to make the requests for help or appear derelict enough in their duties for the federal government to step in.

Ottawa is on one side of a river which makes up the eastern border between Ontario and Quebec and a sizeable portion of the people who live and work there cross the river each day. In order to ask the Quebec police forces that are literally in zipline distance of the place this is happening (hyperbole but not by much[1]), Ottawa had to jump through a bunch of hoops, and basically this emergency act use allowed them to ask for help from someone other than Provincial (OPP) and Federal (RCMP) forces.

> Part of their actions should include holding the insubordinate and corrupt local police accountable. (Also note how I said the easiest thing gets used, not the most authoritarian)

This has actually been done. The police chief's been forced to resign, as have the city councilors who were running the police services board of the city (the leadership was essentially voted out and then a few more on the board resigned in protest).

The problem is these things take time. Had the police simply done their jobs from day 1 we wouldn't be here.

I have posted a great deal about this situation in the past weeks and I think I would actually be in favor of these political posts being removed from HN entirely for a couple of reasons:

1. Something that is VERY unusual crops up: lack of nuance or research on replies. This isn't unique to this event; I've noticed it about a few of the political/politicized threads in the past.

2. Making no assumptions about yourself, HN is primarily American and so everything is viewed through that lens. The problem with that is that not every country has the same history, culture, legal system, political system, etc. Invariably posters slip into "this is right, this is not" and there's no room for the middle ground.

My friend works at a company that -- on orders from legal -- has set a 5-day "disappearing messages" policy for all of the corp Slack. Unfortunately nearly all technical discussions happen on Slack. He tells me that it's not unusual for messages to start disappearing before the issue being worked on has even been resolved, and everyone has to re-ask the same questions and re-post the answers at that point, and sometimes things slip through the cracks. Then there's no way for people joining the company to get answers to already-asked-and-answered questions, and they end up spamming everyone on various channels with frequently-asked questions that often go ignored because people are tired of re-posting the same answers over and over again.

Rule #1 if T1D is never be out of reach of food.

The author of this article is correct that too little insulin is bad, but the margin of error for acute distress in that direction is much more forgiving for high blood sugar than low blood sugar (at least in the short term dying-on-the-floor time frame)

Target level is around 90. A little too much insulin can easily push that down to 25/35, which gets you into passing out territory. Conversely, you can get up to 300-400 by not having enough insulin and simply feel very crappy. (Caveat: an 18MO's system may be much more sensitive to highs at that age)

So yes, the acute dangers skew more towards too much insulin & low blood sugar, which is quickly fixed by a high glycemic index food. A small tube of icing is a good emergency supply here, especially for a loved one to carry. If the person with T1D is unable to help themselves then you can gently smear the icing in their mouth and it will begin getting absorbed pretty quickly. Not quickly enough to avoid a terrifying experience, but it works.

We have small stashes of shelf-stable snacks and juice boxes all over our home, multiple layers of redundancy when outside the house... It probably seems strange from the outside, but after so long it just feels normal and there's no feeling of cognitive overhead thinking about it.
This. Let's please not make engineering another field where our first concern is whose feelings are hurt.

There are, of course, better and worse ways to raise concerns. "Why did you do it this way? It seems to me that . . . " leaves the conversation open to the possibility that there is good reason for something you don't understand. And if there are major problems, it might be better to privately approach someone (and/or their supervisor?) rather than torching them in public.

But if there is a problem, you aren't doing anyone any favors by keeping quiet.

Thankfully when they restored everything and require a reset of passwords, they offered TOTP 2FA which would provide an additional defence when phishing succeeds.

It's funny but I think I learned about relational database theory (normal forms and such) from the early chapters and/or appendices of thick computer books written about products like Delphi, FoxPro, and MS Access. The data-modeling knowledge scaled up really well to stand alone database servers of various kinds! It's too bad there isn't something similar for new learners, some in-the-browser environment they could enter to try out their nascent SQL skillz. Ideally something with a big thick paper book, too! (The book is a shibboleth representing stability of API and seriousness of purpose, which are too-rare qualities in today's software products.)
Always fascinating to me that people will take raw information and just be like "Wait, don't make it visible. Make it invisible."

Curiously unmentioned is the precipitous fall in domestic oil production in 2021. Another headline would be "US barely hangs on to coveted net exporter status as production falls dramatically."

It should be noted that the price of oil has only been increasing in 2021. We were somewhere around $60 in Feb of last year, now we're over $90 [0]. When oil prices go up, expensive development processes become more viable. So this drop in production is purely domestic policy, not economics. That makes the article seem all the more out of touch to be published now, aside from making dumb statements about price of oil not impacting us as much. Throw in a token nod to the questionable Ukraine crisis. Yeah, this article seems like someone from the White House called in a favor.

I haven't worked in game Dev but I'd imagine that each person would want/require a copy of the game (dev-build, etc) that they could probably test their aspect of development in, which is highly likely going to only run the platform of which they're developing for.
