How did you go about establishing structure and patterns that are typically enforced by frameworks? Was Web Components a big piece of that or were there also other major patterns you incorporated?
Is that also true for TikTok?
I don't understand how you can compare national medical associations with 9/11-conspiracy theorists? 86% (https://nyheder.tv2.dk/samfund/2020-09-01-partier-kraever-fo...) of all Danes and 62% of all Britons (https://eachother.org.uk/uk-ban-male-infant-circumcision/), and 64% of all Swiss (https://www.thelocal.ch/20120731/majority-of-swiss-want-reli...) want to outlaw circumcision. The idea that a child's right to body autonomy takes precedence over its parents desire to have elective surgery performed on their genitals is certainly not a fringe view in many Western countries.

However, this is not about circumcision per se. My point is that Wikipedia's presentation of circumcision is a product of the article's guardians who. You can look at the article's talk page and see for yourself that plenty of people have complained about the article's slanted coverage but no one has been able to do anything about it due to the opposition of the guardians. This is how it works on almost any article about any remotely controversial topic. Just being right is not enough when you're up against an experienced editor that knows all the rules and have a vested interest in pushing a certain view.
Leetcode questions were never brought up in the interviews I've had for the time being. There were the kind of questions I've mentioned in the OP and some code exercises.
The Russian soldiers can’t lay down their arms?
>Many innocent Russians will die directly because of the actions of the west.

They will die because of the actions of their own government.
> His only play is to act (?) even crazier.

If only playing crazy could get you anything you wanted life would be so easy for good actors. He could pretend he won, pack and go home. If his propaganda machine is so strong people will eat it and even if they don't there's not much they can do about it anyway. He may just need a pyrrhic victory he can sell domestically.
I don't think it deviates much (if at all) from common lisp, except that it has BIFs for web development. Hacker News was created using arc, as was the arc forum.
> There are plenty of situations where you need to filter out a bad actor by ip address.

It isn't so much that you need to do it that way, but that there is no more practical way despite the inherent problems. Which has effectively the same end result, but thinking that way highlights the fact that CGNAT and other IPv4 limit “solutions” cause as many problems as they solve.
@dvtm if you're just going to hang your clothes up to dry, then what's the point of having a dryer in the first place?
Nobody forced anyone to join NATO, at least as far as I can tell. The problem is Putin does not trust NATO, he does not perceive NATO as a defensive alliance that will do nothing unless you poke it, he perceives NATO as an ever expanding organization that accumulates power and influence for the west and the USA in particular. And while the west argues that sovereign countries can decide on their own whether or not they want to join NATO, Putin made it very clear that he considers this unacceptable.

The most similar situation is in my opinion the Cuban Missile Crisis. The USSR could argue that Cuba is free to decide whether or not they want nuclear missiles stationed in their country, the USA argues that it is an unacceptable security thread to have those missiles so close to their border. What would have happened of the USSR had not backed down? Would the USA have tolerated the missiles or would the USA have attacked Cuba or at least the launch sites? What would the USA do today, say if China agreed with Mexico to place military assets in Mexico?
Thorough analysis isn't what you are doing, it's simplistic analysis. That's the very problem with it. It sounds like you are dying for the Ben Graham era - when simplistic analysis based on financial statements was all that is required because the competition in investing was... not much. It's a very different game now, and you actually have to have deep insight into the companies and the industries they are in.

You can't just do a simplistic extrapolation of the last couple years in a spreadsheet.

Google couldn't pass your "simple mechanical litmus tests" when it went public.
Apple couldn't pass it in the late 90s.
Amazon couldn't pass it most of it's life.
IBM could for a good number of years (just look at the numbers when Buffett was buying it...)
Most of the banks could in 2005/6/7.
I may well be out of date (last looked at it about 18 months ago) but I don’t think all card issuers have implemented 3D secure yet. Although I think there may have been a deadline for them to.

Also friction in the checkout process is bad and can contribute to dropouts. You can decide to always enforce 3d secure or to have it only run when banks require/suggest it. Personally I set a cart total threshold above which it’s required and set it only to be applied when banks require it for lower value orders.
Yes, of course, if we take a look to the history and cities marooned after a several years dry spell lead to war and migration.

Plenty of cases of lost civilizations in America, Asia and Africa linked with desertification and climate going unstable
Well, DSLR/MILCs really aren't that different from film SLRs. The sensor replaced the film to be exposed, and the battery replaced the film cannister. For mirrorless cameras the EVF replaced the reflex mechanism. Everything else is the same, so with similar design constraints it makes sense a similar form factor would emerge.
Cybersecurity tips: A paranoid person’s guide to preparing for digital danger
Long gone are my high-school days of grinding and polishing a 20cm mirror in the cellar, carefully using Foucault knife tests to parabolize it. As an undergrad, using Gaussian formulae when matching lenses in eyepieces. In grad school, writing ray-tracing codes to design multi-element lenses. Then, as a postdoc, using Zernike polynomials to estimate optical errors in the hexagonal mirror segments of the Keck 10 meter telescope.

Today's iPhone optics astonish and impress me: A lens built with over a half-dozen aspherical elements. Coordinated imaging with multiple cameras. Wow!
By just being accepted by NATO countries to do so?

Countries can do what they want. There isn't some magic spell, that forces countries to do thing, just because of some semantic game about whether a country is recongized or not.

Taiwan could simply join NATO anyway, if they get approved.
it might feel a bit impersonal, but right now, $500 will do much more good if you donate it to any large organization that provides essential help instead of giving a single person a short-term income.

> Make them send out a technician to manually update the firmware if that's what they require but tell them you have no Wi-Fi and they can take this garbage back and give you your money back and then you can sue your builder to put an appliance that works

The oven is specifically marketed as not having some features without connecting to the internet. I'm not sure what you think complaining would accomplish, but I can assure you it will not lead to any firmware updates or refunds. And it definitely won't lead to a winning law suit.
Did not expect to see this show up on HN today (or ever for that matter).

In any case, I wrote the original code for Thredded and it's since had the stewardship taken on by two very smart and capable gentlemen named Gleb and Tim.

In recognition of the 1.0 release I wrote up a short blog post with a little history and background on the project (spoiler: the first version was born 21 years ago!), and congratulating the 2 guys for their work the last 5+ years. They've done an incredible job, and I only wish we'd all met 5 years before.

It's likely they bought the house from the home builder e.g. something like Toll Brothers. So the alternative is to take their hundreds of thousands of dollars and buy another house.
The picture in the tweet only shows rays originating from an object that is close to the center of the field of view. The article mentioned in another comment has better schematics: https://www.pencilofrays.com/lens-design-forms/#mobile

Smartphone cameras usually have a pretty wide field of view. The complex shapes are required in order to compensate for the aberrations caused by the large angles between the optical rays and the lens surfaces.
This is trivial with a sprinkling of JavaScript - our pages do update as required after form POSTs, for example.

I'll keep posting this list every time this subject comes up:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_trading_pa...

China is 15-25% of the trade for those countries, but the west-aligned countries represent 80% of China's trade. A coordinated trade war would be vastly more devastating for China than the rest of the world.

I don't say this gleefully - I hope it never happens.

The purpose of the Lanham Act is to create a civil tort for consumers who believe they have been harmed by false advertising. You have not been harmed. You found a weird thing. Clicking on a website that isn't a website you expected isn't a harm. By posting this you are making clear you know it isn't the website you expected, so it's unclear you were even deceived. If you were deceived by, I don't know, wasting a click, the harm would be de minimis and you'd be bounced from court. You googled the Lanham act to quote it, so you know this.

This is a vaguely interesting thing to think about, but the extreme internet lawyer framing of the post takes away from the weirdness of the thing you found.
To this point I ask - are Twitter "threads" nested?
Cvc5 will likely be better if you use strings a lot, or other exotic theories.
I hope no one truly listens to this guy. He’s a number cruncher who thinks running calculations is all you need to invest.

Who wants that???

I just bought a clothes rack for the wet clothes. The clothes last longer anyway. Don't use the dryer anymore unless I need the clothes right away.
I do too, but how would that look like?

I'm not sure how likely it is to when the incumbent empire and the aspiring one are both armed to the tits, neither of which will give up on their claim or their military. Even without confrontation they'll both keep force projecting. I think we just gotta hope there's mutual resistance to any physical escalation, either direct or by proxy, and that the competition remains economical and technological. Turns out even tying the economies to the hip is not an insurance against fighting when those ties turn into weapons in an escalation.
If Wikipedia wasn't about truth, nobody would use it.

And if the consensus is particularly bad on a subject and the people editing the Wikipedia page are cooperative, they'll usually be able to find a rule intepretation that allows the consensus statements not to count (for insatnce, claiming that a generally reliable source isn't reliable for this particular statement).
> We live in a society, and as a society, we have agreed upon certain rules about how money is handled. If you want to opt out of those rules, then get out of our society.

Even the friends of mine who work in the banking industry will tell you that the current financial system is a rigged game that serves the elite and well-connected at the expense of ordinary people.

Reasonable people can disagree about the relative benefits and harms of cryptocurrency, but trying to make the case that the current financial system reflects some sort of happy societal consensus is roughly on par with being a lobbyist for big tobacco.
This is the “drop the mic” comment of the thread.
Got it, DAI uses a basket of collateral, some of which is the USDC stablecoin, and USDC itself is backed by USD. I dont think that means what you think it means, even if all the USDC in DAI deposits was frozen I think there are other contingencies to keep it at $1

MIM uses the same model except the collateral choices are better, so far, as they are all interest bearing or revenue producing assets such as xSushi and liquidity pool shares.

I dont think TerraUSD is inherently better. The space is littered with algorithmic stablecoins. TerraUSD has done phenomonally well, I dont think it offers anything except being on par with MIM. I would say MIM and TerraUSD as equals for different reasons, and then DAI due to having greater liquidity than MIM and simply being around longer.

I think there is still a gap in the market for the perfect stablecoin. I would like a MIM with a better team and more predictable outcomes.
My brother repairs this stuff regularly, I'll ask him if he has any usable tips on working on this sort of device. Though he usually only starts seeing them after they've been in the field for a while. At his recommendation I got an alpha here and so far it has been amazingly robust.
>just closes a pair of contacts that tell the boiler "heat on" or "heat off" and it's not "literally starting a fire" in your house

Unless you observe Shabbat.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_on_Shabbat

>Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman recounts that he was approached by young rabbis in a seminary who asked him "is electricity fire?". He replied, "no", but asked why they wanted to know, and was shocked that they weren't interested in science at all, but just wanted to interpret the Talmud. Feynman said that electricity was not a chemical process, as fire is, and pointed out that there is electricity in atoms and thus every phenomenon that occurs in the world. Feynman proposed a simple way to eliminate the spark: '"If that's what's bothering you, you can put a condenser across the switch, so the electricity will go on and off without any spark whatsoever—anywhere.' But for some reason, they didn't like that idea either".

Feynman was SHOCKED I say SHOCKED they weren't interested in science at all! ;)
Is this for real?? Is it that easy? I'd like to try that
Are you disputing that Switzerland is historically neutral?
I had a similar issue with Ubiquiti Unifi gear... trying to set it up on a site about a week before Internet connection would be available.

The funny thing it was before it started to require cloud accounts (UDM et al). Just without being able to connect to the Internet, I could not complete the setup.
I guess it's intentional. Ukranian propaganda and fakes are fine because they foster the desired narrative. No one cares about your desire to be informed and to make your own conclusions.

I have just the one now. It's the Apexel HD 2X telephoto.

I bought it because I wanted a slightly longer lens for portrait location scouting, and chose this one not because I am certain it is excellent but because I doubt there's enough of a quality gap between the Apexels and the Moment or Rhinoshield lenses to justify the much higher price.

It is really fairly good though, until you get into the corners. But then I happily use vintage lenses on my A7II that are worse in the corners!

What difference there is, is that the Moment lenses use a tiny bayonet, which I think I would prefer to the 17mm thread Apexel, Ulanzi and others use. Screwing the lens on can be fiddly, especially with the semi-open, three-quarter circumference attachment threads you typically see on lens adapter phone cases.

Don't use the clamp attachments. They are hard to align and I think that is a lot of why people find attachment lenses so disappointing.

Get a phone case with a built-in 17mm thread (or bayonet if you pick a bayonet lens type). I think I'm using a Ulanzi case.

The only frustration that remains is that the iPhone's built-in camera app does not let you force the choice of either of the lenses. It will choose for you if you pick 2x. So you might want an app. I really like the ProCamera app.

I'm not sure whether accessory lenses are so useful on some of the three and four camera mobiles, but it works well enough for my iPhone X.
I know some people who say "Jews are doing exactly the same thing in Palestine as Hitler did". I find it outright ridiculous. In general if someone compares war conflicts "one on one", he just shows off how little he knows about those conflicts - every war conflict is too complex to be called exactly the same as any other. It's like saying Venus is Earth. Yea, to someone with almost exactly zero knowledge on astronomy.
People value stability, wealth, quality and ease of life and peace.

Freedom is the vehicle that maintains these things.

But that, apparently, requires education to remember.
I didn't say its Wikipedia fault or that they did anything other than what they claim to do "pick up the stuff form other places".

But wrong is still wrong and wrong is not useful. And even thou I know its wrong I have no way to fix it despite the idea of Wikipedia that anyone could correct everything. But I can't because I would need to find an article (from an accepted source) which opposes this exact claim. And even then if there are 5 sources for something that is wrong and 1 source pointing out that it is wrong, Wikipedia will at best report this as neutral as it gets which boils down to "The majority says [insert wrong statement here]". This IS neutral and in it self correct but the wrong statement is still there anyway. This is just the fundamental way how Wikipedia works.
tangential recommendation: if you enjoy reading longform articles about logistics, check out Marc Levinson's book "The Box" about the history of the shipping container.

there's a bunch of interesting aspects: the shifting balance of power between unions and capital (breakbulk shipping is a lot more labour intensive, switching to containers permanently removes longshoremen jobs, longshoremen working conditions are frequently abysmal when capital gets the upper hand); regulation in the US artificially fixing prices that artificially prop-up one form of transport (e.g. rail) over another (intermodal sea + road); shipping companies forming cartels to fix prices; the engineering design and investment required in ships, cranes and trucks to support a particular design of container; the process of standardising containers for compatibility; different vested interests attempting to upgrade port infrastructure or to block it; which countries and ports were able to position themselves to benefit from the increasing adoption of the new container transport protocol, and which ones got left behind; the US army as an adopter of shipping containers & how winning a contract to ship supplies to the conflict in Vietnam created an opportunity to fill otherwise empty container ships with goods exported from Japan for the return leg back to the US. Also, the story of fortunes made and fortunes lost by Malcom Mclean.
The repository is under the Jitsi organization, so I'd say chances of them using it or at least planning to use it are quite high.

>Gear churn just seems peculiar.

There was a period when DSLRs were improving pretty rapidly and it made sense to move up on a pretty regular cadence because the new stuff was so much better. (And we've seen this with phones more recently.)

There's definitely a retro aspect to film and vinyl. Personally that's not for me having lived with the limitations of both. But I spent years working with custom film developing chemistry and the like.
And what did they do with it? How is that related to Taiwan?
I don't think Intel will dominate like they did over the last decade but if their next process is good the idea that AMD is actually producing more value than them I think is quite stupid and driven by idiots who don't actually understand the chip business.

Good news for consumers either way though. Intel already have their crown back in the midrange at least.
I 100% agree with you and you should take everything the fitness industry says with a grain of salt. They lie all the time.

That being said, it’s possible for both genetically lucky people to exist and for people who would greatly benefit from exercise to exist.
Let me rephrase that, I'll switch once I can do it in a non-hacky way.

It should be possible - 6880x2880 is fewer pixels than the Pro Display XDR, which an M1 MacBook Air can drive perfectly well.
It works for me. Into a resting (no longer hot) compost I just bury some cut fingerlings and wait a bit.
I think Russians are responsible, but I do not think they are 100% responsible. But whatever the responsibility is, the punishment will be collective and disproportionate. Some of that will be fair, a lot of it will not be. The young kids today, and not yet born, who had no ability to become part of a rebellion, will be punished. The old folks today, the ones who have died since Putin was in power, they're not going to get any extra punishment. They can be asked no questions, they can provide no answers.

If it is true that a Russian should have protested and gone to prison, in order to avoid Putin starting this war or the next war - isn't it also true every human is somehow fractionally responsible for not having tried to assassinate him? Like, how could that even work? To what degree are nationals responsible for the actions of their leaders? And when they fail to act, how should they be punished for it?

I'm proposing we still have a significant flaw with our international agreements and institutions intending to preserve international peace. Because there's a lot of mistakes that have been made since WW2. The recent events in Ukraine tell me that despite being flawed, we need these institutions more than ever or we're absolutely going to blow up the world again.

And one of those flaws, in my opinion, is the permanent security council veto power. It is not much security or a counseling, when permanent members can violate the charter and veto resolutions trying to hold them accountable. The U.S. has done this, and so has Russia. Two wrongs don't make a right and all that, and the various violations aren't even comparable. We should hold Russia accountable, but we cannot forget the Treaty of Versailles when figuring out how culpable the Russian people are. What are the proper incentives for any other country in the same situation? Is there something that would be more useful to preserving international peace than punishing Russia?

Hell, maybe a suitable punishment would be making Russia into a democracy, it could be worse. (This is supposed to be funny, but I know in advance it's kindof a bad joke.)
