> It’s because there ain’t no way to re-write mathematical analysis as a “list”.
When you do write a list, you are promising that you’ve figured out a way to cover the subject in that way without losing essential detail.

I'm not sure this works out for a math textbook, or any book at all. We build our understanding and knowledge by layering up abstractions, and the abstractions form a graph. A linear list to cover all the preqreq will be tedious and repetitive, to say the least.
> I mean, what data is going to get extracted? Your favorite color?

For instance, a log of every time I turn my lights on and off? Coupled with of course all kinds of fingerprinting info about my phone which is also tied to all my accounts. Others mentioned it could also scan the local network. Creepy.

So sick of apps being required for basic things. My ISP is trying to require one to admin my router...

Github has supported creating PRs directly in the browser for years now. It's a pretty good editor with support for Markdown previewing and such. Depending on your needs, Github itself has been a "proper editor" for SSGs for a long time now. Now that Github Actions exists and you aren't restricted to only Jekyll as your SSG for auto-builds on PR merges, it is even better than before. (Drag and drop for things like images into PRs on the web has also worked to various extents in the Github web UI for some time.)

With github.dev (and the . shortcut) you can even create a PR in VS Code on any computer with a web browser if you want even better Markdown previewing with VS Code extensions and Settings Sync. (Even things like uploading new photos, you can drag and drop into VS Code on github.dev! Some of the domain specific data editors for your CMS needs you could potentially build custom YAML or JSON editors as VS Code extensions.)

I don't think there is necessarily a "hatred" for classic content management systems, but the tools have "converged" somewhat. Github is a reasonably good CMS with powerful web editing tools (especially github.dev) at this point, but more importantly the "version management" tool for the "Github CMS" is git so you know that you'll have strong auditing of content changes over time and also content reviews (code reviews, PRs) and things like that which other CMS tools do to various extents, but git was built to do specifically.
But what is different in terms of its indexing algorithm? The original secret sauce for google was the pagerank algorithm which was mathematically genius. Are you using a similar algorithm.
This is where programable keyboards win out when using alternative layouts.

When the layout is at the hardware level, the OS only ever sees the actual keycode for the N key, instead of an "L" which is later transcribed into "N" by the OS's layout map.

Lurker here. Made an account because fuck it, why not.
It is a different calculation for the school board. For them, the costs of retraining staff, retooling a shop, increasing parts inventory are all big costs. Plus the risk of buying a bunch of lemons.

Leasing them with performance guarantees moves not just the costs, but also the risks to a specialist better suited to carrying them.

I don’t know if this firm is legit, but the deal could make sense.
>I was treated extremely rudely for being American when I went to France in late 2003

That's just the French being the French, would have been the same in the 90's lol. And if you think that's bad, try going there as a French Canadian like my grandfather did. He got treated way waaaay better when he spoke English instead of the his "dirty" (what the Frenchies called it) Quebecois French.
This package should be immediately removed from the npm repository and the developer should be permanently banned from publishing npm packages.

If you purposely distribute malware you don't get to be part of the package registry as you have proven you can't handle the responsibility.
For those questioning the feasibility, 100% electric school buses are already on the road in Montreal. I see them frequently, and they seem to handle our crappy roads and winters fine.
It’s very hard to do good real estate pricing models from raw data. You can get all sorts of metrics on the property statistics but one important factor in the cost of the home is the state of renovation. Since most listings don’t have a historical listing of work done in the home your best hope of accurately assessing this comes from something like computer vision on the listing pictures. Assessing the quality of work, recency of work, quality of materials and factoring that into a house price is extremely hard. It would not surprise me at all if Zillow paid near market value for a whole bunch of dated homes that hadn’t kept up with the times and would sell for below the market of similar homes in the neighborhood according to typical metrics. The stories make it seem like their model had even more issues than that. Still I’m surprised anyone actually tried this idea given how poor the algorithms are and how obvious it is that key data points are not available.
The YouTube channel associated with the first link is not "pro Russian", it is 100% Russian propaganda
Doubt it. Whenever EVs have been mentioned, it has been specifically about union shops. Tesla does not have a union so they are evil.
The culture of those “average people” stems from the beliefs of Calvinist fanatics that fled England because it wasn’t radical enough.
Firstly what even is an “oppressive regime” can we agree on a definition? I don’t think so. Certainly not in the boundary cases.

Secondly, why would any such oppressive regime care about your license? What are you going to do, sue them?
This is a sad thing for FOSS … why should developers from Russia be penalized for no reason of their own?
Why do you insist on not understanding what it means to write high quality code? In some contexts, like my previous job, it's important. In others, like if you're making games or non-essential apps in your one man indie shop, much less so. Other qualities are much more important. But it doesn't matter if it's "important" or not, it's a concept that exists, and the only thing we are trying to discuss is that.

It's like if we were discussing the IQ of tech founders and you kept interrupting, saying "IQ is not all that matters", "You can't pay your bills with IQ points", "Steve Jobs might not have a genius IQ but he was a great entrepreneur and that is more important". It's all true, but irrelevant, since it's specifically IQ levels we are discussing.

The same thing that happens when two countries have irreconcilable differences.

Oh, OK; persuasive precedent.

Thing is, aren't arbitration proceedings generally cloaked in secrecy? Most arbitration amounts to contract re-negotiation "by other means", no? So if the proceedings are secret, it's hard to see how they can be used as a precedent. Are such proceedings less secret than I thought?
I always found it sort of disgusting, but as an adult discovered that 1 tablespoon of Valhrona powdered cocoa, 1 tablespoon of Equal Exchange baking cocoa and 2 tablespoons of sugar in 1.75 cups of grass-fed organic whole milk deals with the bad part.
I think you have a core misunderstanding on how the "monopoly on violence" works. Ur device touches port 8333 and 18333 you go straight to the gulag. That port changes that rule changes. Tech isn't above the law, ur not a sovereign citizen.
Founder here,

I suggest you start by not implementing a crawler but use commoncrawl.org instead. The problem with starting a web crawler is you will need a lot of money and almost all big websites are behind cloudflare so you will be blocked pretty quickly. Crawling is a big issue and most of the issues are non-technical.
You are assuming this city will remain in Ukraine. That might be too optimistic as this is the only part of the coast on the land bridge to Crimea that is not yet under Russian control.
Next step, multiple/nested lists:

* Pros:

* starts as a list

* gradual enhancement

* Cons:

\* interior items lead to excessive depth

* loses horizontal space

* crashes space shuttles

* each transition type needs another list

Interesting:

* This is a metalist.
Such precedents simply indicate immaturity of the developer behind it.

Show HN: Vocal, like Loom, but less complicated
Pointing to technologies that succeeded is survivor bias. There are plenty of technologies that lost their race, even renewable ones (for example, wave energy, tidal, OTEC, vertical wind turbines, space solar power, ORC geothermal, thermal biomass). And in general, for any given market niche, there can be only one winner. Most technologies lose. It's presumptuous to assume that fusion will be one that succeeds, for example by presuming that learning will reduce its cost, but not the costs of its competitors. It's especially presumptuous when fusion has very significant obstacles, above and beyond just reaching sufficiently high Q.

It would be better for fusion if these obstacles were taken more seriously, and reactors designed to avoid them, rather than just pretending (via sufficiently optimistic assumptions, for example very large reduction in costs on Nth-of-a-kind plants) they will go away.

The Nth-of-a-kind argument didn't work for fission, btw. It's also not clear how it applies to the non-fusion parts of a fusion power plant. Are the turbines going to suddenly jumpstart a new learning curve just because their heat source is a fusion reactor?

Of the commercial reactor efforts I've been looking at, only Helion and perhaps Zap don't immediately strike me as destined to fail (they may still be destined to fail, I just can convince myself of that yet.)
Poland is a NATO member, and an invasion would be treated entirely differently because of that.
But: No. Even if every single thing they hope to get working were to work perfectly the first time, there would still be no commercially competitive power out of it.

If they offered the power exactly at cost, they would get no bids. Fission is today not competitive, and nobody involved can promise that Tokamak fusion could ever be competitive even with fission, never mind with what renewable power will be priced at, by then.

So, no, those reactors will not fix our energy, or any other, problem, unless our problem is too much money and not enough things to waste it on.
How has Russia's decline been accelerated by Washington stupidity? In what dimension? On Twitter or CNN?

Let me know when NATO is marching across Siberia.

Because in the real world what matters is real resources.

I am sure Russia has its own problems but the idea that Washington/London is the eternal capital of a world empire and that China and India and the Gulf Arabs and the former European colonies in Africa will just roll over to go against their own interests to support the almighty paper dollar seems ridiculous to me.
I would consider that to be their primary job function. Especially at the higher levels. The rule of law would break down if they didn't. Laws are like product specs. They cover the core stuff as best they can, but there are invariably areas where they are a bit buggy, ambiguous, and incomplete. We already have problems with loopholes, but if judges weren't allowed to to exercise some degree of reasonable judgement when things are not 100% crystal clear those problems would be orders of magnitude worse.
Non-inertial frame isn’t the problem, proper language is.
That is true, Iran views Shia people as their own. But hezbollah exists because of the lebanese civil war, they are a legit political party there in the power sharing regime. Even without israel there will be Christians and Sunnis in Lebanon to share power with Shias.

I suggest that anyone interested in his work reads part I of "The Patterns of Software" by Richard Gabriel. https://www.dreamsongs.com/Files/PatternsOfSoftware.pdf

In my opinion, Gabriel has a better and deeper understanding of Christopher Alexander's pattern language and how it can be applied to software than the whole Software Pattern movement which created a very different interpretation of patterns.
Ukraine would be in substantially worse straits if NATO hadn't been helping with training the last few years, and providing thousands upon thousands of modern antitank and antiair missiles.

I don't think Ukraine would benefit from Russia and NATO coming to blows.
Then we end up with a [citation needed] on providing material support to a badly-acting nation being a winning strategy.

IBM is still notorious for their willingness to work with the Nazi regime.
Plus these days on Github (and Azure Repos) you can press . and open the entire repo in VS Code (github.dev/vscode.dev) in your browser.
I don't think I have a problem with lists, just with the kinds of websites that use lists.

Back in the day it was common for each item on the list to be its own page. These days, I'm guaranteed to have a popup to subscribe to a mailing list.
Russian independence was already secured by nuclear weapons. Russia’s war in Ukraine is obviously a war of aggression, not to mention a foolish miscalculation.
That's not how it works. The users' clients receive already verified data, the "verification" is done by the network nodes that provide it. The network can cryptographically ensure that the data is not tampered with, so that every node in the network returns verified, secure data, regardless of who you're retrieving it from.

The user does not have to download the blockchain. It would be the same as needing to download a database, it makes no sense. It all happens in the backend, all the client needs is a simple API call.
> There is a central quality which is the root criterion of life and spirit in a man, a town, a building, or a wilderness. This quality is objective and precise, but it cannot be named.

Sad but true, I'm still hopeful that Europe will drop Russian oil and gas soon, regardless of the consequences.
> Here’s the problem: my autodraft team ended up with a roster almost exclusively stocked with the players idiosyncratically overrated by Yahoo!. For example, an older player whose younger backup had just earned praise from the coach, suggesting that he might be about to lose his job.

I guess this is pretty obvious but just to be explicit, what's happening I guess is that players that are "correctly" valued by the algorithm are getting taken by others, and only the overvalued ones are left for the algorithm to choose.
How did opendoor manage to do the same thing better? The article seems like a takedown of the model, but opendoor managed to do the same thing profitably.

From what I've read it seems Zillow never had the actual expertise to do this, they were always a house price checking site. On the other hand opendoor started out doing this from the start.

Honestly I think people are completely underestimating
the difficulty of a good search engine

I suspect that is not difficult so much as expensive.

Boutique search engines pop up all the time here on HN, but they can't compete fairly against Google, without the resources to crawl a billion webpages day after day.
It’s not the first time satellites are sent there so I’m a bit surprised it is a surprise. Eg Planck satellite.

I never got super into mechanical keyboards, but I've used them for my PC for the last decade or so just cause they're fun to type on.

But out of curiosity, I tested my typing speed on my mechanical keyboard vs my Apple Magic Keyboard (where I do most of my programming, being that I use a Mac for my job), and I got about an extra 10wpm on the Apple one (~90wpm vs ~100wpm).

I think it's the low travel that helps my speed.
that's excellent for city busses that run all day with good frequency, but I would not say so for school busses, whose reason to exist is to collect students that live far away from the school for one specific commute only. Should the municipality really build out overhead powerlines for 20 miles of cornfields just for one passenger needing only 2 trips per day, possibly less if that student has after-school activities?
> Landlords have chosen to enter an inherently adversarial relationship with the goal of profiting from the other party.

There isn't any reason for it to be adversarial, it's certainly not inherently so. Only if one or both sides want to make it adversarial.

It is supposed to be a win-win scenario. Some people prefer to rent instead of buying, so they need a supply of rentals and the owner needs someone to live there so it doesn't sit empty costing them money.

Fortunately I've never had one of the adversarial landlords. I paid them on time and took good care of the property and in exchange they have been super flexible and let me do whatever I want. That's a win-win.
That will keep happening if we build solutions on top of obviously unsafe platforms, ignoring incident after incident. It’s not like this is the first time and it’s not like people will now suddenly learn from this. Blind software updates like yarn upgrade, brew upgrade etc, happen every single day.
You just successfully moved the goalposts by redefining what "going to a march" means...and even then didn't address how "all the examples" don't count. Even then, showing up for a mere two blocks still involves more risk than staying at home.

To me, it's the element of risk that differentiates virtue signaling from meaningful action. Posting "Let's go Brandon" on parlour or "Black Lives Matter" or Tumblr aren't risky actions. Saying "I think gay marriage is ok" in a conservative church is. Just because you can imagine a situation where the context lessens the impact of the action, doesn't mean the example is weak or wrong.
I think OP is referring to 1939 Hitler, i.e. invaded countries and clearly doesn’t care about killing civilians, but before the Holocaust. It’s clear from the last couple of weeks that Putin doesn’t even flinch at the thought of killing thousands of innocent civilians just to satisfy his own twisted reality.
Ha thanks for the clarification, but it's a bit too late i already started a article for Vice that time travelers exist ;)
if you go onto /r/landlord, you'll learn that "cash for keys" is (a) usually way more than $1k, and (b) not a fool-proof way of kicking someone out (since the squatter still need a place to live, and they know that the cash won't cover it). this was/is a huge HUGE issue with the COVID real estate moratoriums that popped up.
Poland is a NATO member, so invading it would trigger a really massive response of all treaty members to which NATO has been preparing since 1970s at least.

Ukraine is being beaten exactly because it is not a NATO member, but actively considered to become one.

And who decides that? A lot of things have blurry lines and I don't know who you expect to clarify them. A court where two sides argue seems like the best solution to me. Not a great solution, but it falls into that quote about democracy being bad but still the best.
Anglo-America has always been imperialistic. It still thinks it can dictate terms unilaterally. Eventually billions of people will wake up and realise there is no particular reason why they deserve a lesser standard of living than 300-400 million or perhaps a billion westerners. In fact that is happening right now, evidenced by India and China aligning with Russia against US/UK. Anyway time will tell if it all ends an Soviet style implosion or a big bang but lies can't last forever.
And the standing water that beavers create probably do assist in groundwater infiltration in a not insignificant way for the local flora. Otherwise that water will just runoff down the stream to some other spot where it can spread out.

I am under the impression that beavers intrinsically hate the sound of running water, and some beaver brain process causes them to feel the need to dam it up.
It's no use to blame Putin's subjects for all this. They did not push for this war. They were as surprised as anyone from the invasion, but of course they will support their army now because they have spent a decade learning to hate the west and blame it for every evil[1].

But putin also calculated (correctly) that the west wouldn't react strongly , like it didnt react with syria, georgia, karabakh, libya. Invading weak countries to make a victory lap is how he legitimizes himself to his subjects and to the nearby dictators (like aliyev). This was made worse by watching how afghanistan ended, and how the US is quickly shifting to the Pacific. The US needs to set a red line to stop him, that is the only thing that delegitimizes him
