EEG and MRI are based on two completely different physical measurements. They have nothing whatsoever to do with each otyer, in terms of why they work. Medical EEG machines are very small, and their size relative to MRI machines does not factor into how effective the EEG is.

I mean, would you doubt that a stethescope can work, because it's so much smaller than an MRI? No, that would be ridculous. Same with your comparison vs EEGs.

Just read the WP articles on MRIs and EEGs. You'll understand it.
Lately I've been working on improving the performance of an open-source HD graphics plugin for the 21 year old Java game oldschool runescape. I have to say it's completely amazing what this ancient Java code has achieved. Reflection allowed the community to build the client they wanted without needing the company to open source the vanilla client and it runs natively on Windows, Linux, and Mac (Intel and M1). It's also ridiculously fast considering how many layers of abstraction we have piled on top of one another. The only thing that sucks is the way parallelism/concurrency works. It's clunky, race conditions are common and hard to manage, there's a ton of overhead, etc.
I think that Russia may have a two-prong strategy: either make sure Ukraine is not joining NATO, or make sure that Ukraine that joins NATO is completely wrecked.

In the alternative reality, where Ukraine promises tomorrow not to join NATO (ever), the Russian targets for this war may be considered achieved, and everyone could simply go home, probably throwing in a couple billions deal for Ukraine recovery. This would be the best outcome for everyone. But this will not happen tomorrow.

If this won't happen at all, the Russians can always wreck Ukraine later, and this is where their air force may play part.

In short, I think the Russians are showing some restraint, for now, to make sure the quick outcome still can happen.
yes, it seems they changed the strategy to Aleppo/Grozny
I still rate the layout managers in Swing above anything I've ever experienced with .NET: made it super-easy to build resizeable GUIs compared to, for example, the absolute positioning dumbassery of something like Windows Forms. Flexbox nailed it for the web but it was something like 18 years later before it was consistently implemented across all browsers.
Not quite the same, but I quite enjoyed PicPlane https://blog.mattbierner.com/pic-plane-1-1/ by Matt Bierner who has quite a few of similar experimental visual perception apps.
Noo... It feels as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened...
Things can be valued as assets based on the present value of their future cash flows (like companies) or by their desirability and rarity (like a Lambo).

The argument you are making is equivalent to 'now that he won't pay for the gas, who will buy the Lambo?'
I just wrote the exact same thing before seeing your comment, just not so eloquently. I think you are spot on, that really is the only "rational" explanation.
> It seems that the Russian soldiers are making efforts to avoid attacking civilians directly

This is my take as well.

The obvious contrast is their handling of Kiev versus how they utterly flattened Grozny.

It's clear to me that in the early days Russia was hoping for a quick and decisive win. They'd decapitate the government, install a puppet regime, and then hope the public would roll over.

That hasn't happened and we're now entering a much more bloody phase of indiscriminate bombing/shelling of the civilian population.
The a/c doesn't even have to cool down. It's sufficient to dry the air and that requires much less energy.
This post is not so subtly pointing the finger at it being a likely false flag attack orchestrated to consolidate power.

The Surprising Truth About Learning in Schools
I love SingleFile and have been using it for years! Is there any version that works on current mobile browser versions? I've stuck with an old version of Firefox on Android that still supports the extension.
I’m with you. Never heard of this Epic Games company. This is worrying.

I fell behind on downloading all of my 426 purchases on bandcamp, but now I feel a strong desire to catch up.
Claiming there's a "the" convoy and Ukraine has either not ever struck it, or has only struck it once, seems to assume a satellite picture you saw from 2 days ago is the only thing that's happening in the country. A lot has gone down since then they're not going to tell you about.
This writeup is fantastic. Clear description, beautiful visualizations... looks like a true labor of love.
To some extent, a lot of other countries don't have the massive amount of perfectly suitable untapped land that the US has around every city
it's not reported in russian media as it will contradict narrative - successful campaign to support armies of LNR/DNS to liberate their republics. Nothing else is reported in media
What's your product - if you don't mind sharing?
So next news will be that EA is acquiring SoundCloud.
I guess that by “all victims of the war” he means Russians and not Ukrainians.

This statement was measured and weighted dozens of times by the army of lawyers and advisers.

There is NOTHING sincere in it.

You don't have to buy this BS.
I wholly agree, although single directory releases are also acceptable.

Last shop I worked at was ... well, they were of an age and came from an era when installation meant "drop some files in a directory, set up an icon on a desktop, what do you mean 'dependencies' and 'framework' and 'installer'?" I did my best to accommodate, because that seems more reasonable to me, but it certainly wasn't simple.

I do not dislike the concept of the Registry, it is an interesting tradeoff against the skillion dialects of .ini files and other configuration, but much further than that, it feels like installation of software is akin to a drop of ink in the water -- you can't really get it back out again.
I'm not sure if the statement of "we didn't keep trying to expand NATO" is correct. Most of the expansion was a result of requests from former USSR states to join, which was then supported by the US and accepted by other member states. I don't think it's correct to we were trying, when it's more likely that former USSR states were trying to pull NATO toward them.

I also am not sure that war would be avoided if NATO didn't expand. Putin and Russia have made statements that suggest a desire to grow their influence over former USSR countries, and those countries resisted by joining NATO or ousting Russian backed leadership.
I'm a big fan of WebAssembly and the idea of WAPM! It's very cool, and I'm hopeful for a more interoperable future.

A quick bug report: the "Open in Shell" feature seems to fail in Firefox due to a CORS problem? It did work in Chrome when I tried it though.

Another question - it seems like a lot of the packages are pretty out of date, for instance the end-of-life Python 3.6 - clicking through to the GitHub page it looks like it's managed by a wapm-packages organization, and managed by Wasmer itself. Will they get more updates now that the new version of WAPM is out? Is it more of a community driven thing? (And an additional bug report, the Wasix link in the wapm-packages/python README is broken)
Yeah I get it. It's funny because, despite ER having a map, I feel way more lost in the open world. DS games may have had a few branching sections but they're more or less linear, here you're having to just pick a direction and hope to find something. And then you encounter all these random bosses that seem overpowered and calculating when would be best to fight them.
You eliminate #3 by having data preloaders inline it into the html response and move it into #1. But without SSR your rendering still starts after #2 instead of #1.

I think your point is still correct. SPA by default are a huge regression and you have to build and maintain sophisticated web infra to reclaim it.
It was actually an accident. The tank was Ukrainian and the driver had very poor visibility, hence the swerve on top of civilian (70+ senior actually, that miraculously didn't got any injury) car.
Reasoning about nuclear armageddon is hard because it's so singular. Traditional risk/benefit assessments don't really work when the outcome is so catastrophic that its utility goes to (negative) infinity. But I'd argue that this makes armageddon less plausible, because our psychological judgement of MAD is fundamentally different from normal risk assessment, and probably more cautious.

A useful analogy is individual risk. Consider a doctor giving a new treatment to a sick patient. It has some uncertainty, some risk including death and some potential gain including being healed. But it's possible to reason about the tradeoff and learn to better estimate this over time.

However, to a single patient, while there are both risk and potential benefit, the realized outcome is absolute: Either he lives or he dies. The mental model is very different from the doctors' because both scenarios are extremely charged.

In nuclear war, you are always the patient who either lives completely or dies completely. I guess that makes everyone humble. Or at least, it should.
The changes made when games go F2P tend to change the product you paid for in significant ways, often in ways that some players will think ruin it.

There's a reason I haven't played TF2 in years, and it's not because I'm indignant that others didn't have to pay for it.

For entrance exams for Thomas Jefferson Magnet High School, my answer is aligned with yours.

For college admission? My answer is way more aligned with GP's.

At some point theoretical potential must turn into demonstrated competence for it to have value and be rewarded. If that hasn't happened by SAT time, I'm betting against it happening in specifically the next 4 years.
Yes, but most of the time (getting the HTML and all the Javascript etc) is only at startup time. Let it take a second or two. From then on the user is in the application, and everything is much faster than it used to be with getting entire new pages from a backend every other click.
Some of those dialogs are indeed not great and a weak point. There are a few options to get a native picker though.

Hello!

My name is Shane Tomasello. I am a recent college grad that's highly motivated and excited to learn new technologies. My best quality is my ability to learn new concepts and a great rate, and I have always strived to learn as much as I can, no matter the challenges I may face. Currently, I am a Software Engineer intern, fully remote, with a start-up company called DADO. Through this internship, I have gained a lot of experience working as a Full Stack and as a Front End Developer working with a tech stack of React, TypeScript, AWS, and GraphQL, working on and finishing many projects that DADO sent my way. A good testament to my ability to learn is that I did not know much of TypeScript as a language before my internship, but now I can say that TypeScript is one of the top languages that I know to this day. I am also familiar with android mobile app development gained through a school project. My peers and superiors would say that I am an extraordinarily friendly and driven person excited to learn whatever I can and have always strived to be better and accomplish more.

* Russian state media even released than silently deleted a premature victory announcement for the current invasion declaring the establishment of a new union state of all the Russias (Russia [Great Russia], Ukraine [Little Russia]< and Belarus.)*

Do you have more information about this?
I remember reading bit more on the work from fovotec authors (Pepperell et al), and while there are some interesting ideas in there, the majority of papers etc had heavy snakeoil/pseudoscience smell. It would be nice if someone grabbed those ideas and took a more rigorous approach to solve the same problems.

That being said, the blog post is nice survey of the wider field so that's nice at least.

Previous discussion on "FOVO" rendering (which has high overlap with the topic) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26795290
In Russian, the name reads as something indecent.
No to be preachy, but if you’re struggling a lot make sure you’re doing enough self care, I like long walks, it’s so easy to forget to make time when so much is happening in the world.
Yeah, the other element is that successful operation is dependent on a complex process that happens overnight, takes multiple hours, and cannot be bypassed (for legitimate safety reasons). The hacker device deciphers the error messages and also provides notifications to the owner during these processes. Thus, if the system runs into a common issue at 11pm, early in the cleaning, the issue can be addressed immediately, and the cleaning re-started. Without the hacker device, the problem is often not discovered until much later, by which time it's too late to complete the cleaning process by lunch; or, even worse, the extended delay means that a technician needs to be called to reset/clean the machine, adding more delays.
Russians don't know what Nazis are. They just know some people called Nazis attacked them in WW2, so denazifying = stopping enemies of Russia.

It isn't talking about the Azov battalion or anything; that's an uncalled-for steelmanning because everyone is free associating things they read about in the news.
I would take some private delight in messing with such a person by instructing them to use <gmail@myname.com>.
Tibia was wild in mostly bad ways. I really miss it
The search is laughably bad. Searching for an exact album title, when that album is on a label’s page, will often have no results. Luckily search engines know what’s up!
An influencer’s Twitter feed.
My dev was asserting that a modest change to how a certain form control works would be "easier in React" (and this is on a piece of our application that's not even in any SPA right now). I marvel over the eagerness with which developers reach for React and friends nowadays.
"Other prominent Democratic politicians have also come out against indefinite remote work."

Is this specifically related to lockdowns or remote work in general? If the latter why would they want to discourage remote work? Economic reasons?
Yeah, it's clearly the Trump Presidency that led to Operation Barbarossa.
Many people are attracted to this industry by the stories of Google/FB/etc early employees walking away with 8 figure sums and retiring after a few years of work. Thus the exit obsession.
The Basecamp guys created Hey which is a mail app not implemented as a SPA. It's probably the fastest mail app I've ever seen while delivering around 40kb of javascript.

If Hey is a toy app you then you must be working on some truly alien projects from the future or something.
What about the attempts on Kyiv and shelling of Lviv? Didn't Putin say that he wanted to "denazify" all of Ukraine in his opening declaration, not just LNR/DNS?
Stay tuned. MailChannels will be announcing a free email sending option for Cloudflare Workers customers shortly. I will post it up on HN.
15 years in prison if the new law passes, right?
Wow, you're really going to hate how people mod their cars. At some point we have to ignore hypotheticals because they are too divorced from what is actually happening.

Case in point, when someone mods their car it is not somehow the manufacturer's responsibility for a crash. It fails the pre-hearing test of "can we even have a lawsuit about this" if someone even tries to bring it up.
It's creepy to see how quickly people turned on Russian nationals living abroad. What exactly is an "oligarch" anyway? Someone with money? Someone with links to Putin? What kinds of links?

I don't think punishing rich Russians living abroad even with some connection to Putin or the Russian government is helpful. It's likely illegal and the kind of thing that we'll look back upon as excessive.
Again, I have no first-hand experience with this device so I can only infer things from the articles and documents we have available.

I fear I am being overly pedantic here, but to me, "override" implies that the device is circumventing sensor readings or physical interlocks or something similar to manipulate the machine's mechanisms to doing something they weren't intended to. However, I've see no indication of that. The device is described as, essentially, a second control panel. Anything the Kytch device can do is something an operator could already do by pushing buttons on the factory-installed control panel. The difference is that it interprets the data to be easier to understand, and provides remote monitoring.

It's really no different than plugging a ScanGauge into a car's ODB-II port. The ScanGauge can tell you all sorts of things about the state of the engine, but it isn't going to stop the brakes from working.

I remember reading that Wired article when it first came out. Near the beginning, it says:

> As O'Sullivan says, this menu isn’t documented in any owner's manual for the Taylor digital ice cream machines

This is demonstrably false. It's clearly documented on page 22 of the service manual: https://static-pt.com/modelManual/TAF-C602_spm.pdf

Frankly, the manuals Taylor has made for these machines are quite thorough and well written. The claims from the article about how this is "secret" and "undisclosed" seem disingenuous when a simple Google search reveals evidence to the contrary. I suppose one could argue that a "service manual" is not an "owner's manual", but that seems overly pedantic (even to me!).
Russia does not need to paint anything. When they need any excuse they just fabricate some more lies. As we've seen many times already.
I assume Russia has a similar "two man rule" for nuclear command and control that the US does. One can only hope.
Ask HN: What can my company do to help Ukraine?
I think this is what separates a good photographer from... me.

I've tried various zoom levels before—and aspect ratios, focal lengths, etc—but I can never capture in an image what I'm seeing with my eyes. Either the enormous mountain is a tiny feature off in the distance, or it fills the frame and all context is lost. I can't seem to find a framing that communicates both the grandness of the subject, and the larger context it's situated in.

Obviously a 2D, cropped image of the landscape is going to have to lose information compared to my 3D, panoramic view of it. But I also know I've seen good photos of these types of things. What are those photographers doing to capture that?
Still no reason to follow the austrian version of L. Ron Hubbard

"Rudolf Steiner believed that illnesses have their meaning in karmic events. Fever, for example, could help children to settle into their bodies. Those who had done things wrong in previous lives might have to make up for them through illness - and those who inoculate themselves could become deaf to the karmic message."
The rubber arm thing is interesting. It's much like the mirror boxes used to stimulate phantom limbs, and by doing this patients can relax phantom limbs that are permanently 'tensed'. This was created by a doctor VS Ramachandran. He wrote a few books, they're somewhat pop Sci but include a fair bit of in depth knowledge. His book Phantoms in the Brain covers a lot of this. Another book of his, The Tell Tale Brain, is a bit more general but it's also a fascinating looking at how the physical brain and consciousness intersect, especially in regards to disease

And, there's a strong possibility that we're experiencing some psyops here, to make the Russians appear incompetent.

It's not a strong possibility, it's a 100% guarantee.

Aside from big, trivially disproven announcements ("This side now controls such and such city"), you're not going to see an accurate picture of literally anything in this conflict until months, if not years after the fact, when historians will pour over, and fit together first-hand accounts and records.

In the meantime, parts of the picture may be accurate, but nobody here has any idea which parts are true, which are propaganda, or what particular purpose that propaganda serves.
Which shows that even the rich and powerful are a bunch of fucking cowards
This article seems quite off. First, it conflates browser and desktop. Yes, applets died an early and deserved death. That is different from what happened with desktop apps.

A univeral GUI (e.g. Swing) was wrong-headed. I don't actually know what happened after people moved away from Swing. But even in the time range TFA discusses, Intellij IDEA, an IDE written in Java, was a success. It has always been multi-platform, and never had worse than acceptable performance in my experience. It has grown into a large suite of products, and I think it is widely considered to be the best IDE, for pretty much any language you can name, by a wide margin.

Java has become the new COBOL -- the language for business applications, which means backend development. But the continuing success and improvement, and broadening of the JetBrains products pretty much demolishes the argument that Java has declined and fallen on the desktop. JetBrains is an existence proof that it is a very capable platform for anyone who chooses to use it there.
Note also: 'classical liberal' has been an attempt to clarify/brand a certain viewpoint for decades, as the US label of 'liberal' has drifted from what it previously meant.

So I suspect your observation about the "last few years" is more a reflection of the evolution of your specific info-environment, & rhetoric consumption, than a broader trend.

For example, Google books show it rising from nothing before the 1930s 'New Deal' era (of massive new government economic interventions), to a steep growth in the 1980s (Reaganism etc), starting to plateau in the 20X0s:

https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=classical+libe...

Search trends show interest in finding out what it is roughly stable since 2004:

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=%...

In the late 1800s, 'liberal' overwhelmingly meant in favor of free trade, less government involvement in running or regulating private enterprises, & free speech – not especially "liberal" policies in present US politics. (Though, in late 20thC, US 'liberals' were still among the strongest free-speech advocates.)

But in the UK & some very-left circles, 'liberal' still has some of those meanings – compared to more radical leftism, for sure – but is often labelled (or slurred) as 'neoliberal'.
> why should only developers foot the bill?

Perhaps because they are the ones who would make the profit from what is surely a national asset. It's not as if they create the land that they make a profit from.
Basically, every growth figure of the language shows otherwise. Oracle is ain’t saints, but the amount of needless bashing it gets here is astonishing.

Regardless of what its other branches are doing, Oracle managed to do one of the smoothest language takeovers where the (stellar) core team is virtually unchanged, the language became completely open sourced and it underwent tremendous changes which resulted in huge growths after the slowdown at the end of the Sun era.

Note: I am not working at Oracle and never have.
I think parent's point is that, whatever "classical liberalism" means formally and historically, the label is typically used _today_ by people thought of as run-of-the-mill Conservatives (i.e., Jordan Peterson, Dave Rubin, Brett Weinstein, etc.).
