I have been to a few crypto meetups and seen people just talk about buying and selling tokens/cryptocurrencies without knowing more than the name of the currencies.

They are betting on software in alpha phase without knowing anything about it, or any detail about the cryptography, concensus mechanism or coding practices they use.

There are valid concerns with any asset where people want to store their wealth (which is at the same time a basic human need), but it's hard to reason with peope who are not interested in discussing those concerns.
Why not just view them online? Sites like CreditKarma have existed for years. And if you don’t trust third parties, Experian let’s you view theirs on their own site. The benefit is being able to see updates more than once a year. CreditKarma updates every week.

There's no talk of completion. This isn't a "diet", it's a diet. We aren't using it as some colloquial meaning for losing weight, etc. This is about a lifelong dietary change to address excessive carbohydrate intake.

If it doesn't have "any effect" then I guess all type 1 diabetics are already dead?

The point still stands - doctors should be counseling diabetics on dietary changes, even if they are being prescribed medication. Some patients can improve their condition and overall health to the point that they can stop the medication. If you disagree with this, please, show me some sources. As for mine, you can check the AMA, AHA, ADA, and PubMed (American Medical/Heart/Diabetes Associations).
It could, yet it doesn't.

For one thing, most business accounts do not hold 9 figures in cash.

Inflows and outflows are likely to be predictable, so you can set flags for certain thresholds.

A 9 figure transaction would absolutely be noticed, and possibly flagged before it was permitted to continue.

Yes, but AmEx is vertically integrated, and they have 0 interest in shitting in their own backyard just to marginally increase the profit margin.

Visa/MC can afford to just not care, because there’s always someone else who’ll pick up the tab. Which simply is not an option for AmEx.
Please explain how they are not equivalent. Just because two governments are on good terms or are in some kind of partnership does not guarantee that one or the other will not take actions that benefit only them. What am I missing here?

Given the number of clones of StackOverflow and GitHub that show up on the front page, even at the cost of replacing the original SO and GH links that they copied from, I can only assume either Google's eyes are blind or the search engine devs are so good at their job that they never need to Google anything themselves.

If you want sinusoidal oscillation over time, then you can integrate the second-order differential equation x'' = -ω² x instead. This only costs a few arithmetic instructions per time step. On the other hand, it adds dependency on a state other than the current time, and you must be careful to use energy-conserving integration.
Was there some large news story about Grade 3 teachers explaining the intricacies of docking that I missed?
I remember that in my Journalism graduation we did an interesting exercise where each student had to create a news article about Little Red Riding Hood (and then you decided if the focus would be on the survivor, the wolf, the act of the saviour, etc).

Based on that, you may try some thought experiments with more open ended topics, that might bring you some ideas (does god exist? is climate change caused by human action? is earth flat?)

Another thing might be considering having more columns for nuanced topics, and also have icons below each statement that has a counter-argument from another column.

What does "tail" mean in this context?
That's a fuzzy search. If I search on Netflix for "Bruce Willis", the first ten or so items are movies with him. Then there are miscellaneous thrillers and whatnot; unless I look at the details I don't know that they don't have Bruce Willis in them.

A filter gives me a binary outcome; it either has Bruce Willis, or it doesn't.

All of which is sort of the ops point I think; the search engine is fuzzy because it wants to show you many things for profit reasons. I don't think it's geared toward maximizing profitability at the expense of what you're looking for, exactly, so much as engagement as a proxy for profitability. The more you use the service, the stickier you likely are as a paid subscriber, so they'll happily shovel things that don't match the search (but are similar!...and that quickly jump the shark into being quite dissimilar, but hey, maybe!) to try and keep your eyeballs.

A better demonstration of this handling is searching for movie titles they don't have. "The Princess Bride" on Netflix, for instance, doesn't even tell you "We don't have that", but instead "Explore titles related to: The Princess Bride". And while the first suggestion, The Neverending Story, is kinda a fair suggestion, some slightly later ones, like Top Gun and Zoolander, feel like a stretch.
> That's not really a fair critique.... You need that kind of thing on any platform

This is the boilerplate response to the valid complaint that Windows security is a nightmare. While in theory, other platforms (Linux, BSDs, and idk, OS/400, OS/2, etc.) technically can get infected by viruses, in practice, infection on these platforms would be a vanishingly rare oddity, even compared to the also incredibly rare cases of intrusion.

That said, every major non-Windows platform in its default install configuration is inherently more secure than a Windows system that has had all of its known default security issues addressed, even those beyond what Windows Defender provides. Windows is not simply a more attractive target for malware authors because it is a more popular platform with a larger install base, it is a more popular target because it is inherently insecure, and we know it is inherently insecure because it would be foolish for anyone to run Windows and access the WWW without first addressing its security issues.

It is possible, and likely even probable, that someone could use an unhardened, non-Windows system in its default install configuration for ordinary personal computing for years without ever experiencing the security threats that online Windows users face on a minute by minute basis.

But to be fair to Windows, it honestly often is a turnkey solution to whatever office computing needs there be, and without it, information security, as an area of study, as a profession, and as an industry, would not even exist as we know it today. The fact of the matter is that Windows' security issues (and other issues Windows exhibits unrelated to security) creates jobs, and this can not be ignored. Arguably, the jobs Windows creates are more important than the security issues it introduces. Also, to be fair, without C, C++, .NET, Python, Perl, and JavaScript, Windows would probably be 90% more secure, so it is not all Microsoft's fault and, in a sense, some of the problem is beyond their control.
So if they fork the chain again, does Ethereum Classic become Ethereum Classic Classic?
To do guided fuzzing (graybox, like afl or libfuzzer) you need to instrument the binary. To instrument the binary, you need to be part of the building process.

Since Go has a bespoke compilation toolchains and AFAIK doesn’t have compiler plugins, external fuzzing tools had to either fork the toolchain or perform extensive pre and post processing (couldn’t tell you what go-fuzz did but many article about go-fuzz note that the building process can take a while).

As such, building fuzzing into the standard toolchain and maintaining it as part of the project makes a lot of sense. It also gives fuzzing a much higher level of visibility (because sadly there will always be a population for whom an external / third-party tool will be suspicious).

Those constants being used look a lot like a table.
To be honest (as you asked for), it does come off as egotistical and a bit condescending. I would remove the "Thank you and sorry" and "The bar is high because my word carries weight" sections. The tone of sentences like "I'm insanely lucky to be where I am today", and "My word carries weight" is a bit self-aggrandizing.

Without those sections I think the rest is fine. If you want to introduce the whole thing to explain why it's necessary I would entirely leave yourself out of it because it comes off as self aggrandizing. I would just write something like, "I appreciate your interest in working at Loom. I can't simply pass your resume on if you contact me, because it isn't fair to my hiring manager. It makes it easier for everyone when I provide the below information up front because its saves us both time".
Normally the secret key stuff is protected by a passphrase for a PGP verified email. So the entity owning the laptop would have to wait for the department to make a request first (rare) to keylog the passphrase and would only get to make one bogus request before revocation of the identity.

DKIM and SPF only prove that an email passed through a particular email server. The whole point of doing the verification end to end is that the stuff in between does not have to be secure.

Oops.Thanks.
Can someone explain for a dummy how this is possible? How does it know that range() is zero indexed? Was it specifically trained on Python input/function/output data? Or did it just "learn" it? Do the researchers know how it learned it?

Does it actually "run" the code? Like, if it was looping over 1 billion iterations would it take 1B times longer than if it was just one iteration? I have so many questions.

Google Calendar web does allow you to shift your calendar view 1 week at a time (i.e. you can see 2 weeks from feb, 2 weeks for march). The UX for it is just super hidden and cumbersome.

Speaking of lookup tables, I recall reading the DX-7 (https://www.righto.com/2021/11/reverse-engineering-yamaha-dx... shared a few months ago on HN), that DX-7 has a 4096-entry 14-bit sine ROM built into the chip itself.
I did the same thing for sqrt() seven years ago. It benchmarked at about five times faster than math.h/libm, but the trade was a reduction in the maximum value of the result. My version would not produce accurate results for inputs greater than 2^16. It did work very well for generating real-time laser pointing X/Y coordinates for an Archimedean Spiral.

Press. Political competition. Courts. Broadly, the rule of law.

Nobody is perfect at any of these. But if the FSB wants a code change in Kaspersky, they're getting that code change. There is no independent press to report it. No opposition incentivized to call them out on it. No court in which they could lose.

Ask HN: Best video games to expand teenage minds?
So, I am not much of a gamer but I am a movie lover. So I try (with varying levels of success) to get my kids to watch something outside the Marvel / Netflix current list. I can even handle basic media studies, scene construction, story arcs and so on to keep discussions going.

But outside the tent pole AAA shoot-em ups, what does the "best 100 video games" look like? And what does scene construction, story arc and so on mean when you can do anything ?

If we're going to decrease population then we should probably start finding ways to encourage reproducing only among the most genetically fit. There's a fine line to be walked with this line kind of thinking and itspast, but if we're going to so limit the pool of available physical and intellectual talent, we should make sure we minimize handicaps, obesity, addiction, mental illness, etc.

Hopefully, gene editing obviates the these concerns.

The nice thing about zkrollups is that users have a cryptographic guarantee of being able to withdraw their money. The rolled-up transactions are posted on chain in compressed form, and a contract on chain verifies a concise proof that all the rules were followed, including that all transactions had valid signatures.

So if this is done correctly, any master keys shouldn't be able to steal user funds. The key holders would be the ones authorized to post the data, but the worst they could do is censor transactions.
It seems kinda one sided:

> People prefer different channels of communication, often depending on context. Don’t communicate in the way that’s most convenient to you. Always consider whom you’re communicating with and what their needs and context might be.

Sure, but my needs should be somewhere in the equation too. If we are peers, it is reasonable to expect them to be as important as yours.

> I try to truly understand a position before arguing against it. Ask questions. Repeat back what I understood to be their point.

Does not leave space for you accepting someone elses position. Also, if primary reason you ask me questions is so that you can argue against, then it does not sound like symmetric cooperative debate seeking solution. Instead, it sounds like debate club where one needs to win by creating gotchas.

Again, I am back to one sided. There are a lot of expectations for other person to understand and tolerate your peculiarities. But little about you trying to actually understand them.

It'd be fine. No textures doesn't mean everything is gray.
I sense that we may me talking past one another. You seem to be focusing on my word choice and and justifying that we should spend resources studying COVID-19. My post does not dispute this at all.

What I'm saying is that to conclude that effect X (demyelination) is a cause for additional concern with respect to disease A (COVID-19), we should go back and see whether effect X is also present with respect to other diseases such as B, C, D (common cold, flu, etc). Because we may have found X linked to A because we are looking so hard at A, and not have found it previously with respect to B, C, D because we weren't looking as hard then.
I'm assuming the US as that is the case here. Each visit is billed for individually. By the case is certainly a much better model.
I wouldn't say we're planning to not support them. They work with React 18. If they move to useInsertionEffect they'll avoid major performance issues.

The writing on the wall is more that we wouldn't encourage this mechanism over time because we find that <link> + inline styles have much better performance tradeoffs. Often, it's possible to implement a very similar API but statically extractable. That's great and we encourage that. But we wouldn't add a runtime helper like css() into React because we don't think this pattern scales well. Of course, we can't stop people from using it though.
Along side file parsers it’s a pretty major fuzzing target, as it tends to be exposed to malicious inputs.

Fuzzing works primarily on binary data, “structured” fuzzing is somewhat rarer.
There definitely seems to be at least a little truth to that argument, though. Over the years Kaspersky has found and documented a whole bunch of seemingly US government linked malware whilst their Western competitors just haven't, and I think there's at least some evidence this is intentional on the part of those other companies.
Debian is apparently bad at democracy despite putting a lot of thought into the matter. The entire problem has to do with conflating 3 questions with boolean answers as 3 sets of answers to those 3 questions.

1. Should we have a vote to amend yes no higher threshold to pass.

2. If yes should we hide identities of developers casting a vote yes no

3. If yes should we allow verification yes no

Arguably 3 is a ridiculous question so ought to be safely omitted.

Arguably it would be reasonable to require more than 10% to cast a vote as well.

All we know now is that a single digit percentage of Debian developers prefer to vote anon.

Given the low turnout there is little reason not to respect the present result but have another smarter vote.

React and OpenAPI are orthogonal things. You'd build a JavaScript/TypeScript library for talking to an API, not a React one.

(Generally, though it adds some friction unless you have HTTP servers with libraries to help you out, I prefer this approach whenever possible to GraphQL. Mostly because relying on frontend folks to inflict terrible damage to databases via wild abuse of resolvers is not my cup of tea, but as GraphQL tools become smarter I'm coming around on this a bit.)
Honestly, in my experience, the drive for bespoke styles isn't from developers, but from product folks and stakeholders. For instance, I once had to build a CMS UI with a dropdown where users could pick how they wanted to sort their search results. The product folks also asked me to add a "Show Translations" option in the dropdown, which wasn't a sort order, and could be toggled separately. They insisted that it needed to be in this dropdown and not a separate UI control, and since they generally know what the users want better than I do, I went with it.

I've semi-frequently had to build custom tree views and tree selectors with multiple modes of operation and various amenities. And sometimes the way those complicated widgets are built requires that we customize more basic components like split-buttons or dropdowns to match so that users aren't thrown off.

Sometimes all of this can be accomplished by taking a library like Bootstrap and applying a theme. But sometimes the theme gets so intense that we realize we're basically just building Material UI on top of Bootstrap's code, and it makes more sense to use that library instead. And as mentioned before, sometimes there are just things that we can't get from Bootstrap or Material, but that we're going to use fairly often (last I checked, Bootstrap didn't have a 5-star rating widget).

The "It's Fashion!" narrative seems very appealing to people on HN, to the point that I'd advise people to double check that they're not falling for confirmation bias before proffering it as an explanation.
I love the idea, but I couldn’t find any results that didn’t look mostly random. I thought I’d look for posts about shooting or editing video. Couldn’t find anything close, no matter how I ordered my query.

I use meld too. But afaics, meld 'syntax aware' is very different from from difftastic.

Meld takes a diff, and applies syntax highlighting over the diffed files. It additionally highlights the changed characters in a line. Git diff, vimdiff and probably others, do this as well.

From the demo, I understand that Difftastic first applies syntax and then rebuilds the patch over that. Being aware of line wrapping, changes in nesting, moving codeblocks into functions and so on.
I really don't sympathize with your viewpoint. Lots of research shows that it's hard to go against your natural state. You only have so much willpower - for most people it's a finite resource.

In that context, your comment reads "Why don't you just decide to be better?". Do you think that the original commenter wanted to be this way? That it was a deliberate choice? Do you think it's that easy to change right now? I won't go on, but your comment came off as condescending - whatever your intentions are.
