I happen to be working on an application which is largely written in Lua and uses the same event loop (libuv) as Node.

I can confirm that with careful engineering, application code doesn't have to suffer from the color problem. Fundamentally the trick is to yield after creating a callback, and resume into that callback when the thread has more data to process. A `foo:bar():baz():bux()` chain can pause execution in any of those methods and the user doesn't have to know which (some knowledge of whether this will happen /at all/ is required, only because you need a coroutine since Lua can't yield the main thread).

This isn't built-in, need to start with something like BEAM for that, but it's a nice sweet spot.
Blink Shell (which is free) but requires VPS to work with.
Good point. Alas, i can no longer edit it.
I think options will trigger this as well, this is where the “double trigger” rsu came from.

I learned everything I know about stylegan (prior to experimenting myself) from this channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/ArtificialImages/videos For stylegan this playlist was useful: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWuCzxqIpJs8ViuBIUtAk... (in particular this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxXqCsl-z2k&list=PLWuCzxqIpJ...). Or just go straight to this colab: https://colab.research.google.com/github/dvschultz/stylegan2...

I'd recommend sticking with stylegan2 for the moment though since it's much easier (cheaper time/computation wise) to transfer from (and the result is about the same - in fact better at the same time and computation budget).

Yes. The meaning of 7 sigma is: It's very very unlikely that this is a statistical fluke, it must have a different reason (new physics, systematic error, ...)
I'm skeptical of the overpopulation meme as it exists in modern anglo culture, both in terms of predictive accuracy and origin/motivation. Birth rates plummet as soon as you introduce anglo culture, prosperity, women-in-the-workplace feminism, and perhaps some other secret sauce elements to a country.

In the 1960s, western academics were confidently asserting there'd be mass starvation and societal collapse by now!

I also think a lot of people have just been taught to hate humans. Misanthropy is mainstream; love for mankind- the thought that all else being equal, it's good for there to be more of us- is currently crass.

As another ATLAS physicist, I can say that this is an excellent article from Prof. Schott. He is very politely arguing that "someone messed up". I'm not sure I agree so much with the point of combining the LEP experiments, which do have some tension with each other. Unless the combination is specifically taking into account correlations between uncertainties at the different experiments on the same collider (which exist, but it's really hard to handle).

Another take many people in the field are expressing is that it's simply infeasible to reliably interpret statistical models at that level (especially one that is dominated by systematic uncertainty), since they are based on approximations and assumptions e.g. that certain nuisance parameters are "nicely" distributed and uncorrelated. See e.g. comments from Prof. Cranmer [1] who is one of the folks who developed the standard statistical formalism and methods used in modern particle physics experiments.

We have a jurisprudence that allows Neo-Nazis to March through Jewish neighborhoods.

That's amazing - thanks. Gives me something to play with this weekend :-)
So in the game we get to play Bladerunners, which are slave-catchers of the future--except their job is to murder the slaves who escape. It's weird to me that 30 years later people still don't understand that the whole point of the movie is that the Bladerunner is the replicant slave of the bad guys and the other replicants are slaves fighting for their freedom. I love the thought-provoking Bladerunner universe and this looks like it may be a thoughtful production, but playing a slave-catcher is seriously problematic.

From everything we’ve seen in warfare over the last few decades javelins and other shoulder mounted anti-tank weapons do render heavy armor highly vulnerable. New armor solutions that are even more expensive than existing ones but no more resilient against these weapons is throwing money down the drain. Sorry it fractures cherished anime fantasies.

It's a coin toss on if BT will properly allow ipv6 traffic each time the router reboots.

I've had to make provisions to force ipv4 on my machines because although composer et al. runs fine on my vps and elsewhere, if it tries to access it via ipv6 at home it more often than not hangs indefinitely.

But the South took away their freedom, it’s really incomparable with what is going on in UAE and Qatar. Those migrant workers can leave if they want, they aren’t slaves.

>Tell that to Yemen, Saudis are helping them. They are just not realizing it.

I think you’re the one trolling here. What does Yemen have to do with this conversation? I believe that the visa and labour policies of some gulf countries are good, I do not believe that these countries aren’t run by downright evil regimes.
Ask HN: Firefox DNS Routing

For context:

PFAS are known as "forever chemicals" because they do not break down in nature. They are also quite bad for most animals, including of course humans.
The 3M plant has been illegally dumping significant amounts of PFAS in the environment, both in the air and by dumping it in a river.

During a test, over 90% of the 800ish people living within a 2-mile radius of the plant had amounts of PFAS in their body exceeding safe limits, with 60% reaching levels which could have health effects.
An area of about 3 square mile around the plant is contaminated significantly enough that 3M has been made liable for sanitation.

The government has of course ordered 3M to cease dumping PFAS, which I guess is the reason they are now cutting output. The story is made even more complicated because it's happening a few miles upstream from the Belgium - The Netherlands border so it is cross-border pollution - and The Netherlands is currently working to turn some land near the border into a wetlands nature reserve.
If it is irresponsible to utilize the services provided by companies under the jurisdiction of the United States, then using much of the internet and Firefox itself is irresponsible.
Also not knowing anything about this topic, I'd assume it wasn't normal because we're talking about mass close to zero, and mass must be greater than zero.
As someone who lives in France that's an interesting article; I've never heard of or seen this condiment before.

A lot of companies have that weird part of the onboarding where it sounds like you joined a cult. From what you described nothing is super off-mark here.

After some time you'll see if it's the actual internal culture or just the onboarding that is weird.
Ummmm a spammer is a person who must create many accounts to game the system. If there was no login requirement they could spam in other ways, for example voting, on YouTube: views. Scraping is a huge part of spamming. First you need to identify what you are going to do, which audience you are going to go after.

I'm not sure if you are trolling or just being overly pedantic to argue for the sake of arguing or what but it's tiring.

Spammers scrape data and sell it to other spammers who do other actions.

When you come in with an intent to disprove you're going to be looking for holes in what someone says rather than focusing on the value. That's one of the main problems with the web and the world these days.

Look, you gave the openbsd example, and that's the right way to do it.

Flatpack's are for packaged software-deployment, those are two different things.

Why the need for a sandbox if you could do it much cleaner with things like pledge? But in typical linux fashion, just put another layer on top the pile of garbage so it stop's to stink for a while.

>Well - why would I not want that?

Then please start with the most obvious application sometimes called kernel.

Instead of rigorously integrate something like SElinux they throw layers over layers of half-backed "sandboxes", up to the point to separate applications with Xen (Qube-os), then you find out about Meltdown, and we are back in 1990.
Don't TLS certs have domains they're valid for in the cert? (I admit it's been a while since I looked at this.) That would make them hard to phish.
Basically any algorithm that uses heuristics and iterative fitting, like A*, bin packing algorithms, gradient descent. I like algorithms that don't just compute an answer, but iterate and approximate - usually to solve a problem that's NP-hard or otherwise fuzzy.
I have very little interest in tax software, but my current and previous jobs are writing tax software (though I guess my previous job was technically tax software plus other internal tools for a local government). But for me the interest isn't in what the software I'm writing is for, it's in the interesting and unique problems I get to solve, even for something as boring as tax software.
No, I think the problem (in principle) is that "standard deviation" has a special meaning for Gaussian distributions, which extend to infinity in both directions. A quantity that has a fixed range has most likely an asymmetric distribution, so one would expect an asymmetric error bar as well. But for a sigma<<the value, it's often not a big concern.

A good example is efficiency measurements. I can't count how often I have seen students say something like: Our detector is 99%+-3% efficient. Obviously a detector can't be 102% efficient.
Many years old routers had a single external ipv4 and behind the NAT each computer got an internal ipv4 as a way to never end up exhausting the pool of IPs that each ISP has. But it’s been a long while since it has changed:

Most of the home networks I use are still behind a NAT use a single ipv6 to interface the world and within the network each computer has an internally assigned ipv4 just in case some operating system may not be compatible with ipv4.

Still are many old routers using ipv4 only out there as not many people care to renew their hardware as long as their WhatsApp and Netflix works.
I imagine the idea is that any DNS-based filtering tech would also block use-application-dns.net. An ad-hoc spec. Kind of like how captive wifi portals "block" (or allow) canary domains like captive.apple.com so the OS throws the captive portal login dialogue.
true, basicmed was a relative disappointment based on what people were originally hoping for.

"Technologically superior" is kind of relative to comparison group. As a consumer who does not enjoy particularly high salary, "is it affordable" is an important consideration when buying any technological product.

What do I mean when I say "relative to"? When DVD became available, people bought DVD players, which were superior to VHS. And TV+VHS was a superior technology compared TV alone. And TV displays have become much better than they were when VHS was brand new.
Cloudflare an Google DNS are both independent and private, no?
And there I was convinced the best anti-tank weapon was a sharp Katana... Combined arms are a thing, and tanks were never well suited for urban environments. And vulnerable is the opposite of obsolete, everything and everyone is vulnerable on a battlefield.

The race between armor and anti-armor is as old as armor, it is what gave us Javelins in the first place. I don't see any reason why that is going end, ever.

> If that bothers you, it is far more productive to actually contribute your time to fixing the issue than simply describing it while waxing lyrical about how all these modern devs have simply 'lost the way'.

I agree with that sentiment in principle. In fact, I advocate the same myself.

However, playing the devils advocate, all an individual non-core developer can do is try to smooth out the rough edges.

If the complaint is "you removed this option", it doesn't matter if the complainer provides a patch to put it back - the powers in charge of that project already have the code (it was there before they removed it, after all), so providing a patch to add it back in is pointless.

The non-bug complaints in general (still devils advocate) are not that the software is missing a feature, it's that the direction it is going (or has gone) in is alienating the existing users.
TCL/TK is still both easier than electron and will produce nicer apps. I think the Electron thing is the result of the popularity of web development more than native API failures (other than mobile development being an incredible pain in the ass.)

Helix - or rather Kakoune† - has better-than-Vim keybindings though, in my view. It's what Vim keybindings would be if they were built from the ground up, without decades of cruft and bolted on bits, and instead had a coherent design to them that was easy to make sense of and intuit. Vim has that with its command grammar, a neat way of combining smaller comands into larger ones, but not with the individual command keybindings themselves.

† I'm still not sure what the difference between the two is, except that the Kakoune dev had to take a year-long break because of having a newborn child, and Helix development continued in that time.
Yeah as long as the software is provided in .deb format, doesn't use any newer dependencies than you have, and you're using Debian or Ubuntu. Not remotely the same as Windows where it just always works.
I'm blown away by these results, but one caveat here: the AI is great at creating illustrations, not art.

Creating great _art_ that Grayson Perry (for example) would recognise as such is probably AGI-complete, because it requires a deep understanding of the human condition, society, and a lot of reasoning skills.

A great artist could certainly use Dall-E 2 as part of their method, though.

I'm not sure I trust such suggestions when they come from "Oil and Energy news". In other news, a publication focused on the nuclear industry thinks we need a lot more nuclear, and a publication focused on renewables thinks we need more solar and wind.
What would be more depressing is if western governments have not already given this some thought, and years later China achieves all this through theft of our IP. Somehow I don't think the Chinese (nor the Russians for that matter) have the same moral qualms.

Try daily summaries, which is what we do. Glad to know this screaming "micromanaging" wasn't paranoia from my part though.
I work in this field (different experiment); that's not really true. In particle physics, sigma denotes "significance", not standard deviation. Technically what we're quoting as "sigmas" are "z-values", where z=Phi^{-1}(1 - p), where Phi^{-1} is the inverse CDF of the Normal distribution and p is the p-value of the experimental result. So, 7 sigma is defined to be the level of significance (for an arbitrary distribution) corresponding to the same quantile as 7 standard deviations out in a Normal distribution.
Please no.

Military is not about rock paper scissors. This meme needs to die.

SAM beats planes is probably the most ridiculous one on this list, since most SAM destroyed at war since the 50s where in fact destroyed by airstrikes.

SAM destroys planes and planes destroy SAM, that's it.

Almost any weapons is able to destroy anything in a favorable engagement. For instance, during this war, we've even seen footage of

- at least three Russian tanks destroyed by IFV or APC[1]

- an helicopter destroyed by a anti-tank missile[2]

In the end, it all depends on how one force engage with another one, and different forces have different strength and weaknesses when it comes to engagement.

- Infantry is really good at concealing, and is highly mobile in urban situation. But they have little mobility on their own in a wide battlefield, have low range (especially against enemy infantry), and have limited firepower (suppression fire isn't something infantry can do effectively on a battlefield).

- Artillery has excellent range, lot of firepower but will be defeated (and often even captured) by pretty much anything that can come close enough.

- Tanks are heavily armored, have decent range and a lot of firepower, but they are kind of hard to hide…

Start a counter on when your stock options vest. Hope that the stock doesn't tank more than it already has recently. I don't know the correct terms but there is an option/grant type where when you exercise there is a strike price tied to the option/grant, hopefully you don't have those.

Reasons the stock might go down further: user counts go down/market saturation, aging fb user-base and not growing usage by younger people means when all the aunts, crazy uncles and grandmas pass away the active user population will plummet.
