No its not... as soon as i learn deeper into a topic, i more and more encounter situations where wikipedia just plain diverges from the textbook knowledge and references some half-assed journalistic work as source for it.

Basically, as soon as you have read the primary sources, you realize how crap wikipedia is in your field. And i infer that, for the other fields, wikipedia is similar crap, except that i don't notice it yet due to my lack of knowledge.

I think their largest mistake was accepting journalistic works as reference.
I noticed the supermarkets producing copycats and became suspicious of the method by which they achieved the colour. There's something qualitatively different about the darkened yolk in the Clarence Court eggs, and it makes me wonder about additives, I guess they're just adding caretinoids to the feed.
What you noticed is correct, the concept of "identity" is constructed. Stop caring who or what you actually are and you gain like, several new dimensions of freedom and agency.
Nah, VRML by v2 was pretty complete.

We are literally talking about a kind of amnesia and generational gap in knowledge transfer here.
I was there for VRML.

You could almost make a 2022 business model redoing already solved problems and pretending you are inventing new solutions.

Technology doesn’t always linearly progress, sometimes later solutions are technically worse than older ones due to “don’t care” optimization values or lost knowledge or purely social or political reasons. There are also trade offs like portability-performance etc, I’m not denying, but IMO much web “innovation” is useless generational churn and busywork… to say nothing of humans trends and groupthink.

Ask HN: Articles, references and best practices of DDoS defense
I am a software engineer that got interested in networking recently. I have now learned the basics of running a BGP setup (on providers like EquinixMetal) and would now like to learn the basics of DoS/DDoS defense, but I can't seem to find any articles whatsoever on the internet.

I am quite familiar with iptables/fail2ban management (to the level of locking down a machine and banning individual IPs / ranges etc.), but not so much in regard to efficient packet matching, detection and blocking etc.

Maybe I am googling wrong, but I just find promotional blog posts of companies offering DDoS protection or appliances, which is weird when you compare it to the countless things easily findable regarding software engineering of any kind. I'd really like to learn this stuff to feel more comfortable running my own BGP in the open on providers like the one mentioned above, but to me it seems like the information regarding this stuff is locked away from the general public and only available inside the brains of a few smart minds working at these companies. Just a feeling though, I hope to be wrong and that someone can point me to a few articles / guides where one who is new to this area can learn from them.
If that's true, then it's a problem. How does that make doing more of it any better?

I really only have to go to the office once every month to regain my apprecciation/motivation for working at home.

And that is at like 5% occupation. Can’t imagine how horrible it’d be when everyone moves back to the office.

I apparently had someone hotdesk in my spot (fair, it’s a kind of nice one, with a ultrawide screen near a window with a view), but when I saw someone had rearranged the stuff that had been in the same place for the previous 2 years, I found out how much I absolutely loathe the idea of anyone doing that.

The first step a government could do is to encourage remote work. Good Internet infrastructure is an essential first building block, one which is slowly start to be a reality even in rural areas.

My government currently have tax reduction programs in place to enable people to commute to work. The same program could be applied to work from home, giving people tax reduction if they do not travel to work and thus lighten wear on the road system and reduces the pressure on mass transport systems.

In the transportation sector there could be government programs to further incentives technologies that enable direct-to-customer delivery. During the pandemic we saw how reducing crowded stores had some very positive effect on reduced transmission rates, how viruses other than covid also saw a strong reduction. It is possible also that by improving direct-to-customer delivery we end up with less waste, fewer middle men, and possible less impulsive purchases.

We don't need to impose quotas. Make it easier, cheaper and convenient to live outside of large cities and a lot of people will jump for the chance to do so.
This was my main takeaway :)
> hey do, but it is hidden inside a compiler flag, if you compile your prject with `Dpreview_mt` then it will come with multi-threaded support

It depends on the domain. From a production perspective, an flag-gated functionality that has been experimental for two or more years, is not "built-in". Plus, as explained, the ecosystem (I think I've read even the stdlib) doesn't give guarantees about thread safety

For small-scall scripting, then sure, it could be useful - but anything will do. I've evaluated for use at my company, and discarded it, because of the lack of libraries. Sadly, this is a chicken-and-egg situation. I've also evaluated contributing to it, but I won't until multithreading is stable.
There is a wordle bot that analyzes your play. It’s a bit much for me, but it has some insights.

The team behind QI presents without a hint of awareness values such as "a distance of 16093 metres from A to B", "a distance of 62 miles from C to D", "about 6.56 feet tall"...

(And yet once told of that scientist who added 1 metre to his measurement of a mountain, because he feared that the too round number resulting from the computation could have been confused with a rough measurement.)

(To the skimmers: when something is 1000 units long, you have to check the underlying precision - whether it is a very rough estimate or the rounding of something like 1000.0862 - and you cannot translate the former retaining fake precision. The distance between London and New York is not 3,417.541 miles, nor 5,632.704 kilometers.)
Extra bit of trivia: the article mentions that southern Europe prefers darker orange, and indeed it's not uncommon in Italian to hear the egg be divided in "bianco e rosso" (White and red).

In recent years it seems the yellow color has become more common though.
Not really. We don't have any contextual information around the patches so that would be hard to infer.
> citing V -> C translation only, without the C -> binary part

Not really, here's a benchmark of V compiling itself in 0.3 seconds that includes all steps (including the C -> binary part) and results in the compiler binary:

> crashed the compiler on trivial inputs

We have thousands of tests, lots of big projects written in V (V itself is 220k loc, Vinix OS, Ved editor, Gitly, vsql etc), and they all work fine, no compiler errors.

Can you give an example of a trivial input resulting in a crash/C error?

The infamous "The language is not what is promised" you referenced has claims like "there's no way V is written in V", and "there's no way to do json serialization without an AST". These things are simply not true.

But I wasn't really looking for any particular answer. This was not a quiz. I was trying to figure out what they knew, and what they didn't know.
Nah. Wikipedia is generally good, but the whole problem of people protecting their little corner of it as if it's their own personal project is very true.

I once deleted a little section of an article because it was some stereotype with zero foundation, and the only source cited was a random little book written in the 1910s presenting racial stereotypes as the truth. I deleted just one sentence from a long article, and cited the reason being that there's zero truth to the statement and the only basis was some 100 year old book. I tracked down the original book on Google Books and it was a throwaway statement passed as mere hearsay. No other reference exists to the concept in English or the language of the target country.

Within a couple hours, it was back up, and stated that the incorrect stereotype is still true, and most popularly known from the 1910s.

Absolutely bizarre.
There was a whole bunch of edits in the french mother sauces after "Alex" (a french cooking youtuber) found a mistake:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=French_mother_sau...

short version, some old french dude wrote a book/theory on french sauces, original french cookbook mentioned mayonaise as the "mother sauce", but during translation from french to english this was changed to Hollandaise, alex found the original book, fixed the wikipedia entry, and stuff got reverted because the english books didnt mention mayo... then a whole bunch of edits from both sides fixed and unfixed things

At this point, I'm sure you can find a justification for any kind of criticism anyone brings up, so I will stop bringing it up. Sorry for being a bother, and good luck with your Go clone.

I’ve fainted once before and fell over backwards onto the ground. When I came to it was like a reboot of life. I saw leaves in gray up close near my eye and I then flashed back into who I was and what I had been doing. It was as if a second before everything had been simply gone and it didn’t leave or go with any warning or flash, just nothingness and then life again.

What happened is that I badly sprained my ankle and sat on a outdoor wall to recover. The blood rushed to my ankle and away from my head. When this happens the body’s response is to faint to get flat and allow blood to flow back to your brain.
But the context was VA's reckless driving laws. There is no stretch of 95 in VA (I've driven it across the entire state many times) where it is unsafe to drive the listed limit.
You can also reinvent yourself whenever you move from a place to another. I used to live in a small and enclosed community to my twenties until I moved out into an environment I knew nobody. It gave me a clean-slate, and after returning a year later, people close to me told I had changed a lot. Moreover, I continued to be the new me. The gap in the shared history cut both ways: I could forever hide behind it and explain e.g. some opinion of mine to come from influences of that time, but on the other hand, it was also the last time someone else than I knew a coherent history of me.

Since then, I have moved into new environments four additional times. Each time I see it as a possibility to reflect what I'd like to change and work towards that. And whenever I return to home, I feel like a tourist now.
Interesting. But Jesus being invented post-Paul to dictate doctrine just doesn't make any sense to me.

First, Jesus and his resurrection is central to Paul's teachings, not an optional addon restricted to a few bits of text. Second, Paul is much more doctrinaire than Jesus. And third, parable-based teaching is probably not an ideal form for transmitting doctrine because previous writings weren't doctrinaire enough, right?
Welcome to the world of ergo niche keyboards. Basically everything that isn't a Microsoft Ergo or clone is $200+ and it only gets more expensive as you get further from that. An alternative to this is building one yourself.
I'm sorry for what you and your friends have been through. I'm curious why you cite Monsanto here? A thyroid cancer cluster is far more likely caused by exposure to radioactive iodine than a pesticide.
Chinese markets strike me as absolutely brutal.

I mean, there is always some theft, fraud etc. in any market (one of the oldest written records of humanity is a customer complaint about bad copper sold by a certain Mesopotamian merchant called Ea-nasir in 1750 BC), but stuff like poisoning your customers with Sudan Red, or adding melamine to yoghurt, or frying food on gutter oil seems to always be reported from China.

I was a kid who tried to teach myself to make flash games and I couldnt figure it out. I had lessons in Fireworks at school and could make gifs, but Flash I could not understand. I couldnt find good tutorials online either.

It's way easier for a kid to make a game in Godot today than it ever was in Flash.

Also, Godot games run great in the browser. I dont think your general thesis holds up. Way more games are made by young people today than at any point in history.

I got five chickens last year and now have more eggs then I know what to do with (so we give a lot away). Everyone that has them says they are so much better and I have wondered if that is just due to them being able to see the chickens and their home. It is near impossible to hard boil the eggs they lay because the “membrane” (layer between the shell and egg-stuff) is so thick. The yolk is a darker yellow as well. I feed them mid-priced crumbles from tractor supply and give them scraps maybe once per week.
I’d probably use the term “marketing” rather than “propaganda”.
Ask HN: Build systems for large open source projects
Out of curiosity, does anyone have links to the build infrastructure for large open source and other projects. Thinking Firefox, Chrome, Linux, Ubuntu and other distros, etc... I can't seem to find anything off hand... What is required to build these projects multiple times a day (or even hour) over all supported platforms and architectures?
I’m curious if they set out to stabilize this particular sulfur allotrope, or if they had more of a serendipitous “hmmm… that’s weird” data analysis moment.

It’s really interesting because there could be so many ways to stabilize interesting new phases that conventional high throughput theoretical screening isn’t going to predict
According to your tool I am overpaying myself :) I think you did a great job with this - I did take this rather on the light side when I started... Paniced a little later (when I got my first tax invoice), then decided to be on the save side... Luckily I was never a big spending guy - so it turned out alright.
Basically any best selling Lego set will sell pretty high if you can store them in mint condition during 20 years (the time for the kids playing today to become 30).

But I guess it’s not that easy to store enough of a high volume toy (when boxed) during 20 years for the operation to be really valuable.

(Edit : imagine just having kids and a room full of brand new legos)
I'm sorry to hear that and hope that your parents and you're healthy from here on out. I do wonder if the incidence of cancer in your area could be compared to a similar community in a sort of natural experiment to see if people in your home town were more likely to contract cancer than the other community.
But you're the one phrasing it in that purposefully maladjusted way. Paying lip service to someone you want to have sex with is entirely common.

Combining capital growth and yield is quite standard across the industry for measuring total return. Yes the dividend is reflected in the share price (it doesn't grow as much as it might have if reinvested) but that's completely fine. Combine them to get the total return. Pretty normal.

As I understand it, superconductors aren't quite as binary as the media portrays them as.

The temperature, current density and magnetic fields they can tolerate while remaining superconducting varies between the various kinds of superconductors.

Most interesting use-cases outside the lab would involve at least non-trivial current densities, so that's one metric where one might still want to search for a better material even though one already exists.
You are absolutely right! Thanks for letting me know! I’ll look into it when I get home!

RCS and its support in the Android Messages app is conspicuously absent from mention. I wonder if there are any RCS supporting open source messaging apps that don't require giving your message contents to Google. Or is RCM somehow closed off from third party apps?

Edit: seems that according to https://www.netmanias.com/en/post/techdocs/8154/lte-rcs/gsma... it's entangled to IMS which is to my understanding walled off from normal apps. You can't, I think, make VoLTE calls through your carriers IMS SIP infra with Android SIP apps or SIP implementing dialer apps from app store etc. I hope I'm wrong.

Of course it's easier. And it should be.

That said, for all the randomness associated with notability, no original research, and neutral points of view it mostly sort of works out for many topics. Which is not to say that the depth of a given article can't be very uneven relative to its importance or, somewhat ironically, based on its degree of coverage in traditional media.
When it comes to feeling "slow motion" on psychedelics, it feels like you're just taking in and focusing on too many details so your memory of the experience feels a lot longer than it actually was.

Under normal circumstances when looking at a random car, you most likely just see a car. You've probably seen a car before so it's not something you need to pay attention to.

But under the influence of psychedelics you pay attention to all the details of the car. Like how it's somehow symmetrical in shape, the reflection of the car from the sun, transparent windows that somehow reflects the environment a little bit but is still somehow lets you see the inside of the car, the front part of the car looks like a face, the car is larger than you, etc, etc.

The experience under the influence might feel like it took 2 minutes, but in reality it probably took 10 seconds. It can feel even longer when recalling the memory.

(you might also see things that aren't part of the car but I'm leaving that out here to talk about how long an experience feels like)
Wow. I've never been able to articulate this experience, but it is something I find very jarring. It's jarring for me to see people behave outside of their usual persona. A favorite teacher of mine once had his young son in class for some reason. The class was normal except for when the son started playing with something he shouldn't have. The teacher snapped at the son with such anger and fear.

I had never seen the teacher behave this way and it was deeply upsetting at the time.

The thing is... it's still going to be quite expensive and worse you have some serious health and safety concerns. You need a sandblaster and hood because you dont want to be breathing in the powder. You're dealing with a powder and heat... there's some serious fire risks.

It seems to make sense why everyone is going the resin route.
LTS are pretty binary compared to HTS. Look at the resistance vs. temperature plots of different cables at a given current and magnetic field.

Additionally, quench propagation is much slower in HTS so safe current dumping has a lot more time between quench detection and thermal runaway.

Fair enough, I do need to have a look at the book again, although that was one of the sources I found impossible to understand a few years back. I think there's a temptation to talk about lifetimes in extremely abstract terms under the assumption that the reader already understands and appreciates the abstraction. I, however, was never able to build up an intuition for it, and so tutorials that didn't explain what was happening in detail sailed over my head.
