Though it annoyingly is not. The profiling with integrated stack, line, and memory / alloc profiler seems especially nice.

Though it’s made progress (especially with the rise of flamegraph-type visualisation) the ecosystems I navigate seem to remain a hodge-podge of disparate tools.
> And, physics departments find string theorists to be the cheapest kind of hire, because they aren't always trying to get expensive equipment together for experiments.

You know the joke - a university was having budget problems, so they fired the physicists and replaced them with mathematicians, who only need paper, pencil, and a wastebin. Then they had more budget problems, so they fired the mathematicians and replaced them with philosophers, who don't need the wastebin.
>Aiming higher means fewer candidates, and fewer competitors.

Aiming higher also means fewer opportunities, which means competition is tougher, as many people are also trying to move higher. Kind of like a game of music chairs.

With that kind of money you are not likely to be able to move the needle much doing conventional ads. You need to do some out of the box thinking. Ads on smaller more targeted sides, a youtube channel/Social media work, straight up writing mails to potential customers (heck you can hire someone 1 hour to stand in front of your potential customers buildings with a sign and get better results)
So when you need to remember a user/password combo for a new device, offline doorbell maybe, or a parcel number, or the address of a friend, then you record a 4K video instead of writing it in a text file?

Plain text just works, everywhere, all the time.
> but out of the box it can’t.

Even if such a device needs to be used, decoding ascii is a trivial lookup operation, not remotely comparable to decoding some arcane binary format, or a convoluted XML-derived format such as they are used in WYSIWYG editor formats.

Yes, text relies on an encoding standard. So do numbers btw. (big/little endian, 2s/1s complement, sign/magnitude, floating-point representations), element enumeration (0 vs 1 based indexing) and even boolean logic (eg.: 0 is true in bash, everything else is false)

At the end of the day, computers represent only 2 states: On and Off. Everything beyond that, needs an encoding.

And some of these encodings are, at this point, both so universal and simple, that they can be considered as much a standard of the IT world, as 0 and 1. ASCII is one of those.

I may not like the ads, but I like that they pay for a lot of cool stuff on the web that otherwise would not see the light of day.
Well, that's the result of "bad apple" thinking rather than structural analysis.
I'll keep that in mind if I ever have the opportunity to empty your bank account.
I don't think I've seen it in 20+ years in banking, but I don't know the caste of the Indian people I've worked with. For all I know they could have all been the same caste.

Is there a way to tell an Indian's caste? I'm guessing it's impolite to ask.
Its easy for local collaborators/spies to use this kind of system for communication with the Russian army.

No special skills or tools needed, and the on-line behavior is really hard to distinguish from 'expected' behavior. Its a pretty nice, and really easy to use, covert channel.
One difference is that they are used for all control structures:

a = b ifTrue:[ ... ]
a = b ifFalse:[ ... ]
a = b ifTrue:[ ...] ifFalse:[ ... ]
[ a = b ] whileTrue: [ ... ]

And "control structures" aren't actually control structures that are built into the language. They are just messages sent to blocks (closures). That includes iteration, so a for "loop" is:

1 to:10 do: [ :i | ... ]

Which is just a shorthand for

(1 to:10) do:[ :i | ... ]

With (1 to:10) creating an Interval object, a virtual collection that understands the normal collection iteration protocol (do:, collect:, select:, reject:, inject: ).

OO + Closures + keyword syntax. An elegant and powerful combination.

Ask HN: Is it possible to crack a Multibit Wallet?
Hi there,

When I was up in the loft the other day I found an old HD and discovered it had a Multibit classic bitcoin wallet on it with some remnants of BC on there (not a life changing amount, about £900 LoLz). Trouble is I have no idea what the password is...

I heard there are some defects in Multibit that it may be possible to exploit? Does anyone have any details about this please?

Thanks :-)
Nobody is preventing string theory from being tested. If you know of a way to test it, please go and do so, you'll get a Nobel Prize for it because nobody else has thought of a way.
I haven't read that book and will add it to my reading list.

I'm not naive (but far from an expert). There are all kinds of problems with western democracy, capitalism and the media (in no particular order).

There is a vast difference between the 'western media problems' and the propaganda coming out of Russia though.

The narratives around refugees in Australia are a very good example at least one of the problems with western media. Referring to refugees as 'Illegal' has led to them being locked up off-shore for extended periods of time (6+ years in some cases).

> I - a male - haven't heard of any stories of sexual harassment or assault in my social circle (or at the office), but that doesn't mean it's not happening.

Counter-point: many cases of sexual harassment seem to occur over a long time, where the problematic behavior is known or suspected widely -- it's just that nothing is done.

Consider: I don't care for celebrities or Hollywood, I'm not American, but I knew Weinstein for being a pig long before he got cancelled, mostly through offhand jokes from comedians. I didn't really know how big of a deal in his business he was, I just knew that everyone seemed to know that he was a pig. So when he finally got cancelled, what surprised me is that I sort of thought that he already had been.

I've known of few instance of much less prominent harassment (sexual or otherwise for that matter) at the periphery of my social circle, and it was a similar phenomenon. I believe there is a type of people that does that kind of things (narcissists), the problem I suspect is that they tend to also be good at manipulating people so that they can keep doing damage for a long time.

No.

Open up a word document (.docx) in hex editor (head -80 foo.docx | xxd) and you'll see it's not a plain file on a binary level. Now do the same with any python, php, html, and js files and you'll see that they're plain files.

That's the difference that Derek is talking about.
If you have an admission process based on a standardized test and everyone named "Smith" decides to game the system by prepping heavily for the test then you will have a lot of students named "Smith" in your school. The answer is not to create a quota for people named "Smith". The answer is to create admission criteria that are not easily gamed.

This is an un-authenticated method of communication. It might be hard to stop people from using this, but it seems easy to overwhelm them with misinformation.

Start placing 10, or a hundred times as many of these signs around non-important objects. Drown the signal in noise.

Some consideration is needed for how to keep these symbols believable, without accidentally marking certain people for being bombed. Still, I think if you have marked 60% of roofs in a town with these signs, then some-one will realize something is wrong.
I hope that with the advent of the Steam Deck, the Linux desktop will finally lose all the rough edges.

I'm really not a fan of Windows 11, but Linux just doesn't work as well on my laptop right now without loosing some features.
I recall one study where the researchers (with approval) made google maps suggest a route which looped back on itself... the idea was to test if people would blindly follow google maps or if they would try to reason for themselves using GM as one source of info.

turns out many people just blindly followed.

So closing/blacklisting accounts might not be the best solution, you could just make all the route instructions take them back to Russia.

Surely nobody promised you that sanctions would not have any ill effects on the general population? There is no way to seize Putins war chest directly, so the purpose of the sanctions is to hit him and his power structure indirectly through the entire Russian economy and society. It is an extremely crude weapon and hits Putin critics just as hard as Putin supporters, and as always the weakest suffers the most. But what is the alternative? Doing nothing or just applying mild sanctions have been tried - it just embolded Russia and let to current murder of Ukraine. Do you have a better idea?
That's exactly the problem - spending decades studying a theory without any idea of how it could be tested (with devices that could, say, fit into the solar system) is not how science should work.

I disagree with this premise. Why hold game makers to this standard and not any other business? We don't hold car makers morally responsible for not accomodating blind drivers, or florists for excluding people with allergies.
It is coming bro, buckle up!!
i think you've defined the crisis.

Yes, I hope so. I am not a huge fan of Windows either.
+1 I think people with small budget need to spend it on SEO which in my opinion would generate more traction that ads.

Those average figures hide something pretty interesting. IQ scores are defined against a white norm of 100. They are often broken down into components, with "verbal" and "spatial visualization" components being very common.

By definition, the white average is 100 on these components. Blacks have a lower average, but (compared to the white profile) they look "flat"; their reasoning scores are similar to their verbal scores are similar to their spatial scores. Ashkenazi Jews also look flat, but with elevated averages.

East Asians aren't like that. The average figure represents a verbal score that is depressed relative to whites, but an elevated reasoning score and an extremely elevated spatial score. The difference in profile has been widely noted in popular culture. (For example: https://ifunny.co/picture/asians-because-your-calculus-sure-... .) But it doesn't seem to come up much in IQ discussions.

(Native Americans have a profile similar to East Asians, but with low scores.)
I guess it depends, 6 months is actually not too bad. Weather dozens of rejections are normal or not depends on industry and region, and the jobs you apply to.

I had everything, from one application to get a job up to 8 (last time before my current job). Usually I did spend closer to 8 months than 6 to get there so. From experience, for whatever reason, I tend to be on the low end of applications. So I think around a dozen applications and 6 months seems kind of average, IMHO.

It is a bit of a shame that they are moving it. There is something special about seeing these remnants in their original location, imagining what the surroundings looked like and comparing with the current. Somewhat understandable though, London property prices being what they are. Not even the Roman empire can afford to stay.

If those comms are cleartext, that also means its possible to start sending disinformation.

Start talking about hold-ups at cross-roads that are clear. Tell them about shortcuts that actually lead through marshes. Tell them "the attack we discussed earlier will actually happen 43 minutes earlier". Tell them, "hey we have run out of food here". Tell them, I heard that 10 miles back they are serving hot food, damn I wish I was there.

Just fuck with their comms, making them either make wrong decisions, demoralize them, or make them abandon these comms for something even worse.

Mate, you're going completely off the rails and I'm not sure if you're actively trolling or are misinformed and in denial.

E-ink is a manufacturer of the E-ink pigment particles and the EPD film that's then sold to various display manufacturers where it gets sandwiched between glass, an ITO top electrode and a TFT bottom layer connected to a CoG (chip on glass), basically like any other LCD TFT display but instead of liquid crystal you have the famous patented E-ink pigment.

Those EPD display manufacturers all depend on buying the e-ink film manufactured by E-ink, at their fab in ... drum-roll ... Taiwan (big surprise). None of these EPD display company could make displays by themselves without the film they buy from E-ink.

Just read their website [1] and article [2] before spewing more nonsense

[1] "E Ink manufacturers a number of EPD films, with different attributes depending on application needs"

[1] https://www.eink.com/e-ink-film.html

[2] " As part of E Ink’s manufacturing process, microcapsules of ink coat plastic film. The film is then dried, inspected, rerolled, and sent on for further processing."

I also couldn't help gloat a bit thinking about all these bad faith arguments I heard coming from the Go community over the years about how the lack of generics was not such a bit deal and generics sucked anyway. I especially remember one particular document where some Go devs claimed to make an "unbiased" study of the pros and cons of generics and it was ridiculously one sided (if somebody remembers what this document was I'd love to read it again, especially now that Go has generics).

That being said I'm happy to see that Go now attempts to find a tradeoff between generics and compile time, if their approach proves successful hopefully it could lead to improvements for other languages as well.
