> Those who have no interest in the social aspects of Github and want to use it privately

Or people who don't want to use GitHub in the first place (esp. because of its less than appealing position on privacy), but they don't have a choice because it's the Facebook of the tech world and seemingly everyone else insists on it in order to get anything done.
There are multiple replies there suggesting exercising or excessive exercising may be a cause. Is this a thing? This was definitely not on my radar except maybe some routine that's unimaginably intense.

A type checker doesn't make a statically typed language. Also, yes, the program will "run" with failed type assertions.

Compare this with Typescript, where by default the compiler will refuse to compile the code when type errors are encountered. But there are other Typescript compilers that are faster and don't typecheck at all, they just strip the syntax.

If you want the strict behavior, you need to prevent the program from running when typechecking fails. That is entirely possible with mypy.
I have the same problem and at least once a week someone tries to recover the password to “their” email address. I’ve gotten unlimited spam which my provider usually deals with well but sometimes there are periods of days where 5+ per hour get through. I’ve gotten dick pics and all kinds of receipts. I have hotel logins with the wrong name assigned because I could only make accounts by recovering one someone else made (so my hotel receipts have the wrong name on them).

I used to reply to misaddressed mail when it amused me. I used to string along a whole family of people that included me in group emails with racist Obama memes and pictures bragging of poaching.

I stopped replying to these when in another case I was asked to tell estranged and family member that their sister had cancer since I was the only one still in contact with her. I did inform them they had the wrong address at that point.

I’m still on a mailing list for senior members of a local police department and even was sent logon/passwords to some of their systems but I’ve learned not to try to correct these things, it’s just too much of a hassle. In the case of Venmo and Verizon I couldn’t get it fixed even with phone calls.
Show HN: I made an app for all your payment links
Hi there,

I built an app to make it easy to add all your payment profile in one page. Here is a sample https://paylinkz.app/tawheed

One of the biggest challenge I run into all the time as a freelancer is that people are always asking me "How do you want to be paid?"

I detailed my motivations behind this here https://paylinkz.app/about
Yeah. I work in fintech and we have a whole slate of management/security apps on our Macs. JAMF and some other stuff.

Lots of random 99% CPU... intervals. Although that hasn't happened lately.

Anything involving tons of files (so, Node) takes like 2-4x as long as it does on a Mac that's not loaded down like this. It's painful.

Not sure how much of this is due to JAMF and how much of this is due to the other wonderful apps.
how is that different from just creating an account not tied to your online identity?
he's saying "I am a security expert and I know my bank is insecure, so I don't care if I help someone abuse that insecurity to steal my money."
I wish I had more to point at rn but, hemp crops can help pull toxins from soil. Other crops too , can help with a "brown zone" but hemp (and it's cousin) get more press.
You are wrong and will probably die of a heart attack.

Also, murdering and exploiting animals is not cool.
I am surprised to learn that people still answer the phone.
You know what they found on Hunter Biden’s laptop? CoD.

You know what game Putin played before he decided to start the WW3? CoD.

You know what fish is sold in Costco? CoD.
Sounds remarkably similar to the Love Canal in the history of dirty industry.

This has happened to me too, though not at Sixt. "Do you work for our company?"
oh that's really cool. What's the driver situation with something like that? On Linux do I just write to some file and it's mapped to some hardware pins? Or it's more complicated than that?
I had an entire Comcast account registered to someone with the same name in another part of the state that took me years to get rid of. Could even login with my email address because he registered it to my account and somehow the email side stepped verification.

Imagine dealing with Comcast customer support. Then imagine not even being a customer anymore trying to get this resolved. Now imagine explaining how you're not the person on the account yet have the same name and how this is a huge privacy/security violation.

Took years to get rid of. One day I'm waiting for a silly collections bill or something to show up in "my" name for the other person.
Regardless of your professional training, everyone gets spam calls from spoofed caller ID (that copy your phone area code and exchange) every week.
I was a SF resident for 15 years then moved to the East Coast. Some notes from East Coasters:

a) SF (the city) starts at the Golden Gate bridge and runs all the way to San Jose.

b) Redwood city, San Jose and Oakland - anything located 50 miles around SF - these are all suburbs of SF.

c) The entire state burns every summer.
Sourceforge became almost useless a long time before GitHub came on the scene though. AFAIR they were taken over by a commercially focused company and then added more advertising and inserted shovelware/malware into downloads.

Again, my recollection (as a non-programmer) was Subversion repos were popular at this time -- launchpad.net linked source code was nearly all SVN -- and the likes of Tucows for MS Windows binaries, and other non-SF sites like Freshmeat became useful again.

Then Linus came out with `git` and the ecosystem shifted.

TL;DR to my recollection there was a gap between SF's decline and GitHub's rise, so the GitHub didn't cause SF's decline?
I read about DK and I was absolutely convinced that the effect was real. Then I read the article about DK being mere autocorrelation and I came away absolutely convinced that DK was bullshit. Then I read this article and I'm absolutely convinced that the 'DK is autocorrelation' hypothesis is utter BS. Sigh. There are lies, damned lies and statistics... :-)
Emeryville is not a suburb of anywhere. It has 30k jobs and only 12k people. If anything all the cities that surround it are suburbs of Emeryville.
I worked at one of the FAANGs and the algorithms were definitely state of the art in some ways. Maybe they didn't use the latest models but the sheer size of, for example models, was huge. Easily 500+ features inputted and hundreds of millions of parameters for deep models.
Unfortunately your first sentence isn't true. There is no uncensored microblogging platform or protocol that is even a tiny fraction of Twitter's scale.
On my android phone's home screen, there is a "discover" page if you move the view towards the left that opens up a news feed. It is easy to accidentally swipe onto it and I find it kind of annoying. One of my friends asked me how to get rid of it. It took me something like an hour to figure out how to turn off the "discover" feed. I learned that they have moved the toggle in a past version.

Yesterday, I accidentally scrolled onto my discover page and saw that google has added a new distinct information section to it. I don't feel like having these headlines clamouring for my attention whenever I scroll. Now I will have to learn how to turn that off.

These "auto-opt in" features have a psychological attrition effect on the user as the toggle moves, and people's time and attention is distracted elsewhere, and also by the features themselves as they are added and cannot be customized. You should update your model of this comment section's subject matter to account for this fact.
Alternate interpretation doesn't jive with analysis last few years that PRC has overwhelming A2D2 advantage in region. The parsimonious explanation is US doesn't want to put CVNs at risk or expose carriers to growing PRC ELINT capabilities, including around SCS islands where FONOPs are also conducted with DDGs or smaller vessels. Lanzhou came within 50 meters of Decatur in SCS a few years back, PLAN hasn't been not scared of US in backyard anymore.
The Unfathomable Heart – On “Nukey Poo”
So, take this for what it is because I'm just some random guy on HN, but my company required us to make our Github primary email our work email to receive alerts. I wasn't comfortable doing on my personal account, and was told to make a second one. We followed up with our Github rep regarding this clause, and they told us that because the account would be primarily used for Enterprise (even though it's a free account), it's not something they consider a violation of their policy. Allegedly this happens with quite a lot of their customers.
Empirically, the church is still here, and yet we mostly now hold heliocentric beliefs.

We didn't need to censor anyone to get here.

On longer timescales, the truth wins, because it is real, and everything else is not. False beliefs are persistent but simply can't compete with reality.
1. Takes months/years to develop a profitable trading strategy with a team of people. 3.5/mo on multiple algorithms is kinda laughable.

2. The adverse selection here is really really high: if you could generate alpha, you would find some capital from a big multi-manager or allocator (which is incredibly easy to get these days), and just focus on running their money. The fact that you are making a retail focused site instead of raising private capital says a lot.

3. Looking over the trading algorithms, seems pretty clear that you don't have a background at a prop firm or a quant hedge fund? It takes years to learn this stuff, and the only way you can reasonably do it before going out on your own is at an established shop.

Sorry to be a little harsh, but something like this is never going to work and no one in their right mind should allow your algorithms to trade for them. Generating alpha is incredibly incredibly hard, and teams of experts often spend years working on it with nothing to show for it.
U.S. political campaigns are by far the worst offender. If you give your real email and phone number to one candidate, twenty unrelated candidates will contact you next cycle.
> Some solicited advice

I'm pretty sure that's not what "solicited" means.
Have you tried it? Python has gained most of its popularity before type hints, and I would (wildly) guess 99% of Python programmers don't even use type checking at all.

Static typing is completely viable and I hear those arguments mostly from those who didn't use Python for a long time. The added productivity makes up for a little more debugging while the program is running.

I'd also posit that many Python codebases are somewhat less "untyped" than one might assume. Django for example does a lot in its ORM and Form classes to make sure the right stuff goes in the right slot.
There are 8 classes of intelligence. Which are you?
I was shocked when I saw the asking rents for some "luxury" apartments built right next to the Gowanus canal.
I think after toilet training that lilt tends to go away. Those first months are hard but it does get easier.
> Ousterhout spun Tcl out of Sun in late 1997, which feels like the timeline when Sun was turning to Java.

I think there was internal politicking at Sun going on too, where JOs departure wasn’t necessarily “coincidentally” when Sun was turning to Java.
You could literally get away with murder with that kind of assumption of good-will.
Which means you know all you need to know. Welcome to the ride.
In my case it's been from sites that got hacked or were discontinued. I don't investigate every single item of spam to see where it's addressed to, but some of the major data breaches like LinkedIn and Dropbox feature prominently. There's also an address I used as admin for a long-defunct domain.

In practice it's hard to differentiate between the sale of an address and a data breach, especially for smaller sites where the breach may not be publicized at all.
Sounds like DK in effect
Then why is it so difficult to port code from one Smalltalk version to another? Or is it easy?
99%+ of users both: a) want to run the proprietary OS that came preinstalled on their computer and b) do not want malicious bootkits on their system.

Apple did the best possible thing here.

The iPhone/iPad (on Ax/Mx series chips) is locked as you describe, so the fact that they explicitly designed these as general purpose computers with an escape hatch is great.

That's the best possible situation for the 99% and the 1%.
Aside from "personal anecdote does not override broad scientific evidence": Keto was not responsible for you losing weight or putting your diabetes into remission. Portion control / caloric restriction was. (And increased activity level you likely undertook at the same time.)

You had diabetes because you were likely obese and inactive. Not because you were eating bread, FFS.

I don't understand why it is so hard for people to understand the concept is literally just "calories in minus calories used / out = weight gain or loss." It is simple thermodynamics.

Keto/Paleo diets are among the least nutritious and most difficult to adhere to (most people who claim to follow keto/paleo don't, because it's extremely restrictive), consistently ranking among the worst diets health-wise by nutritional scientists. One of the best is the Mediterranean diet, one which involves no red meat.

> As for all the other stuff, all farming has environmental impact. You can argue degrees of impact,

That's literally what we're saying, and there's plenty of proof.

Beef uses ten times more resources than chicken: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/beef-uses-ten-...

You want to help the environment? Minimize your red meat consumption. That alone makes a huge difference. The second biggest difference you can make is minimizing energy use for personal transportation, and the third biggest difference is reducing energy consumption in your home (mostly heating/cooling.)
Do any relational DBs let you lock statistics or the query planner directly? Something like how ML pipelines are split between training and inference phases. Let me train the optimizer on a representative load (prod replay or synthetic) and then lock the query planner for my production traffic. Still take advantage of the black magic but control it so query plans don't unexpectedly change.
There's what's called stochocracy or as Wiki calls it Sortition , but I think it needs to take the whole population into account, depending on where you live.
and using a polling system where even 20% of yes to a proposal (be it local, regional or national) allows a limited trial to go ahead... as to the larger question as to why our political masters are out of touch..power corrupts, vested interests and economic predominance in a society based on printing money to pollute the planet and producing a processed lifestyle.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition#:~:text=In%20gover....
As I understand it most non-domesticated animals (including hunter-gatherers humans) live almost perpetually in a state of low- to mid-level hunger. The expectation that you’d spend any significant portion of your life not being hungry only really happened with agriculture.
> ergo he's not doing it for his own announcements.

I do agree he is doing things for reasons besides his own announcements, but I cannot agree that it's not part of it. Some people may simply not care enough about EVs to bother, as technologists we assume people see the world through our lens but I bet you many people have barely bothered to research his cars, they only know Tesla in a cursory fashion the same way you might know Nissan or Kia, or even computers (people exist who struggle to use anything more complex than a power button, these can be intelligent well read people even).

If you do use Twitter say, to follow XYZ (not even certain this is correct, I don't and struggle to use Twitter although I have a general idea how it works), if they see some promoted or retweet involving a Tesla, they are likely to learn more or investigate further. Owning this would be a non insignificant marketing advantage.
It's insulting to call a product you haven't ever seen or used "Highway Robbery"
Can you use a short closing tag "</>" or implicit closure?
Wall Street analysts fret over Tesla margins
FWIW extreme groups (e.g. using upper and lower quartiles) is well understood in its inflation of effect size (there are even formulas to correct this, given an extreme groups design).

It's definitely related to ecological fallacy in the sense that both underestimate relative error and inflate effect sizes.
"prohibits requiring fees from websites or online services to deliver or prioritize their traffic to consumers"

This is not 'Net Neutrality'.

If data providers like Netflix want 'special service' then they can pay for it.

'Net Neutrality' is more like Carriers cannot charge more for email, than for games, than for messaging, than for something else.

Carriers should be able to charge whatever they want for whatever QoS (Quality of Service).

If Netflix wants more bandwidth with lower latency, fine, they can pay for that.

But Carriers cannot arbitrary charge 'more' to Netflix because they are 'richer' or because of the type of content.

Federal legislation needs to go further and separate content form data networks.

AT&T has a vast Content Empire that is in direct competition with Netflix, this is a gigantic conflict of interest.

AT&T can sell bytes of data at a quality of service. That's it. Maybe phones - so long as those phones can work on any network and other phones work on it's network.

Content? No way.

Same with cable distributors.

And more difficult to articulate but Apple shouldn't be able to compete with those in the App Store, for example and by law be very 'neutral' there as well: they have to treat everyone the same.
What Pandas does is notoriously hard to fit into a compile-time type system. Certainly too hard to go into the brains of scientists who didn't grow up coding.

No, the code in data science isn't bad because of the lack of typing. The code is "bad" mostly because those writing it are relatively fresh from starting to program. Also there is more pressure to make things possible, often just to run it once, and neglect repeatability or scaling to larger code bases. Different emphasis. That doesn't mean an experienced full stack developer would do Data Science better, because he might lack a lot of skills that matter more in that domain.
Not my area of expertise, but in my limited experience DEM tiles are usually GeoTIFF. This can be 16bit greyscale. The catch is that these are actually signed... Elevation doesn't start at 0meters bc you have locations below sea level and you need to handle those corner cases somehow

What's funny is that you can parse a GeoTIFF as a .tiff most of the time but not always. I had fun debugging that :). Java's BufferedImage understandably doesn't directly support negative pixel values haha
Honduras needs a leader like Najib Bukele.

This is a very old term used to try to describe the Google Maps interface to people who never used an octree multidirectional scrolling and zooming image collection.
This is such a bizarre argument.

Dunning Krueger is precisely about the surprising result that people are bad at estimating their performance!

If you accept the 'D-K is autocorrelation' argument, you don't get to throw out the existence of the D-K effect: you are saying Dunning + Krueger failed to show that humans have any ability to estimate how skilled they are at all.

That seems like an even more radical position than the D-K thesis.
What do you do with the hemp once it has absorbed the toxins?
I think the reason they don't offer options is because in their business model, there is only one option, the one that keeps you on the site longest and watching more ads. What you think you want and what actually keeps you there are probably not usually the same thing.
Along similar lines, my somewhat short friend deliberately nicknamed his kid Shorty because he knew the kid would be much taller one day. Years of setup with the rest of his life for the reward.
its almost like its a place where people can interact directly.

thanks for calling out scale and engineering problems btw! sometimes i think people think we're sitting around all day throwing darts at a wall of pictures of conservatives to pick who to ban next.
I read an article saying that jackd (which routes audio between programs, and offers a cross-program audio transport/play/pause/timestamps) arose to bypass the issue of the GPL making it difficult to link multiple audio plugins with incompatible licenses into a single DAW. The article said that session management (saving and restoring the state of multiple independent programs, as well as routing between them) proved to be the biggest weakness compared to audio plugins. Unfortunately I can't find the link to the article anymore :(
No, but we can consume crops grown with the land, water and fertilizer used to grow grass.

Just switching to chicken from red meat drops that resource usage by a factor of TEN.

Growing cattle for food is incredibly wasteful.
I use hn.algolia.com a lot, Google is dead!
If synthetic fabrics go, hooooo boy... talk about an industrial shakeup. Polyester accounts for ~50% of global fabric production. Non-plastic synthetic fibers made from wood pulp are pretty bad for the environment (you basically use harsh chemicals to liquefy wood and turn that into new fibers). The only thing "performance-wise" that comes close is wool, which is also not very sustainable, and difficult to care for. This seems like it'll become the next "anti-smoking" battle.
Consider taking a more Bayesian view of the world, especially with scientific papers. I informally tell the students I work with to look for a constellation of papers that offer supporting evidence from multiple perspectives.
Parent comment made no evaluation of their own ability, so I don’t see how it’s DK in effect at all.
This. It's relentless. Both email and SMS spam.
