Brave should work with Facebook to unlock a massive amount of this content.

Facebook will not work with Google for competitive reasons, and for similar reasons, it would make sense for them to build up a search competitor like Brave.

My own personal experience is that Facebook Groups have some of the best content on the internet for a number of hobbies. For example, if you want to know how to grow tea, or create a new workout targeting triceps, or build a shed in your backyard -- great answers for these types of questions are hidden away from search in Facebook Groups.
>Just a basic cryptographic risk management principle that cryptography people get mad at me for saying (because it’s true) is: don’t use asymmetric cryptography unless you absolutely need it.

Is there any truth to this? Doesn't basically all Internet traffic rely on the security of (correctly implemented) asymmetric cryptography?
Just as note, but the Japanese show mentioned in the article ("Old Enough") is absolutely delightful. Episodes are usually between 10-20 minutes (the longest being the one with the fish / apple disaster). AFAIK there are currently 20 subtitled episodes available on netflix.

> The topic at hand is, specifically, that nobody makes cores that enforce alignment restrictions anymore. So, it doesn't matter where the pointer goes.

Compilers can rely on alignment even if the CPU doesn't. LLVM does, which is why older versions of rustc had segfaults when repr(packed) used to allow taking references. While it would be pretty easy to get rustc to stop emitting aligned loads, getting Clang and GCC to stop emitting aligned loads might be trickier. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/27060
Well, I have something new to try... (just glanced at your project)

If this works, why isn't this documented in an obvious manner on something like MDN?
You are incorrect about this. Worst case and Big O are independent of one another. The O, Ω, Θ, etc... are about describing bounds where O(f) is used for the set of asymptotic upper bounds on f, Ω(f) is the set of asymptotic lower bounds on f, and Θ(f) is the intersection of O(f) and Ω(f).

Typically f is used to describe space or time complexity of an algorithm, but it can be used for any function that maps positive integers to the non-negative real numbers.

You can make any combination of best case/worst case/average case with O, Ω, Θ. In fact, you can even consider other cases as well such as amortized cases, 90th percentile cases, any case you want to investigate that can be defined as a function from positive integers to non-negative real numbers can be classified as having an asymptotic upper bound, lower bound, or tight bound.
Extra complexity to work around a shortcoming which ignores the fact that most users of a library only care about errors at the top level. Passing errors around manually when the machine could do it is a waste of time however it's dressed up.
> On the other hand, I think kids are just staying inside and playing with electronics more too. But why are they doing that? Is the neighborhood not stimulating enough?

Taking for granted this is true for the discussion:

Electronics are way more prevalent, stimulating and social than ever before.
Netflix has a Japanese show called Old Enough. It shows Japanese children doing their first errand. Example: walking a kilometer to the store (including crossing a busy street), buying 3 items and bringing them back.

Age? 2 years, 9 months.

It's wild.

I grew up at a time and a place where I had a lot of independence. I rode a bike everywhere. I'd do things by myself and with friends. I actually feel sad for kids nowadays. Being a kid now seems to be being at home or getting shuttled from preplanned activity to preplanned activity in a car.

Almost everywhere in the US, it's really not possible to do it any other way because the entire infrastructure is predicated on car ownership.

Fears of abduction and worse are real of course but the risks are overstated. I actually think these risks are made worse by the ubiquity of cars. I mean think about it: it becomes a lot more difficult to abduct someone without a private vehicle.

I'm not convinced that's as true as you think it is. Sure, some people will move, but presumably people have reasons other than the tax rate that they want to live in a place like New York and so, presumably, they will stay as long as they value those things more than lower taxes.

>>> I would like to see what it's like, but always abandon the effort due to concern for potential partners' feelings.

Not OP, but as someone who has maintained harems....you sound too empathetic to manage it without heartache. It's helpful if you are comfortable gaslighting them, honestly. If a side-chick is heartbroken because things didn't turn into a "serious relationship" that's HER fault for failing to do her due diligence in assessing you as a mate. That's HER fault for constructing a fairy-tale future in her head. Delivering non-committal answers to questions without turning them off can be a difficult-to-learn skill, but eventually you'll get it. Or better yet, don't answer questions at all, once you recognize which questions might disrupt the holding pattern you're keeping them in.

Amanda: "Let's hang out on Tuesday."

Chad: "I'm not available Tuesday." (don't say "...because I'm fucking Becky Tuesday.")

Amanda: "Why aren't you available?"

Chad: ".....let's get sushi Wednesday, at that place you mentioned."

If Amanda is smart, she'll probably deduce that you are seeing other women. If she sticks around, good. If not, her character wasn't suited for the role she's required to play in your life. Nothing of value is lost. If she sticks around but is NOT smart enough to realize she's not The Only One....well, then she's stupid. Life is hard when you're stupid. Let her down gently when the time comes, but don't feel bad about it.

Refusing to accept behaviour permitted by the standard is just broken.
SCIP, GLPK.

I don't mind the overhead in developer time. Once you 'git gud' at translating problems to MIP/ LP, it's just a matter of learning syntax. The real trick is in translating problems.

It's a shame more CS courses don't focus on this problem translation meta-algorithm. You can get it in tough theory courses with problem mapping to prove complexity, but its usefulness goes way, way beyond that somewhat niche application. Learning to model problems as max flow, graph partitioning / matching, LP, MIP, gives you absolute super powers way, way beyond what you'd gain by having a solver that's easier to work with.

Why do you care? Nature is 'genetically modifying' stuff all the time. That's how you exist.

"She would be required to report any kid who was walking to school, it simply isn't allowed anymore."

One small note on the screen (especially wrt travel and/or OP's requirement for a good battery life): "worse" screens will often give significantly better battery life. I downgraded my 4K/60 to a 1080/60 on purpose and tripled my battery life on otherwise-identical specs (3 to 9 hours on two Razer Blade Stealth models).

Great points, though. Especially brightness -- even if you don't need all those nits for day-to-day use, they're great to have as an option when you do! Don't skimp on the screen specs that matter to you.
The fact that this is an issue all of the time amazes me. Yes, teams have a different measure of how much work they can get done every sprint, but as long as that measure is accurate, it doesn't matter.

Here the thing: two teams may operate at completely different rates: One team (more experience devs with more mature technology) are going to be faster than a new team with new tech, even if they have the same number of devs. You can't just assume that both of them can do 25 story points of work every sprint. The teams can only go as fast as they can go. It's analogous to the fact that two different people have different rates of walking or running. You can't make them the same unless you are willing to lose efficiency of your fastest walkers/runners.

The fact that one team expresses the quantity of work they do (i.e., English vs. Metric) isn't important as long as they actually hit their estimates most of the time, and improve their estimation accuracy.

My experience so far: Quiet good at finding feasible solutions when constraints are complex. Really young code with a lot of potential. Not that good at finding optimas.
For those who don't know web3 is the idea of building a web on a decentralized blockchain. I think more specifically the idea is to replace the need for name servers with a blockchain protocol. Like anything blockchain there is no real solution for how to handle records becoming stale over time without a central authority that manages disputes. I find it ridiculous that this idea even got to occupy the name as I think we'd want to reserve it for the next generational change in web technology and not half-baked bs.
It certainly can count as both hostility and free speech. Often the most contentious examples of free speech are highly hostile: hate speech, for example. Therefore the context is rather, is this protected speech? A private company can discipline an employee for their speech in the name of the company, and that would be okay, since that is not protected speech. And the ruling by the court appears to be that this is indeed protected speech, in which case the free speech categorization trumps the hostility categorization.

They aren't going to make that High School sports team if they aren't practicing while still in diapers.

In the old days schools were small enough that pretty much everybody who bothered to show up could make the team. These days they have to turn away most of the kids and the level of play is much higher. Academics are the same way, if you want your kids in the good school they need to be hounded throughout their entire childhood. If you want to see this in action, just check out the parents who were apoplectic over the change in admissions policy at Thomas Jefferson High School. They kept their kid under huge pressure for 15 years and suddenly some slackers that even played outside in unstructured activities might make it instead?
This is almost entirely because a lot of websites stupidly reject +. A few stupidly reject - or _ too. That's easy to fix while still using regex validation.

There might be some people who run their own webservers and use more exotic addresses (local parts), but 100% of them also have more normal email address they use for random website signups. If all websites would make sure to accept + in local parts, and - and _ everywhere, there wouldn't be enough people angry at the situation for articles like this to be written and generate any traction at all.

Sending emails might cost a fraction of a cent if you use a 3rd party service. When it's not free, regex validation can save money. There's a potentially valid reason to do it.

Or maybe the people writing the website's javascript are just control freaks. So what? That's not a reason to argue for all websites to stop doing regex email address validation.

Allow + in the local part, along with - and _ everywhere. That's all you have to do. You don't have to give up regex validation and try to send every typo'd email address that a visitor might enter on a form.
Yes, translating the problems is still the hardest part. Once you can write down the MIP, it's just syntax to get it into any old solver. It took me two - three days to write the I/O to get data in, formatted properly, and so on, and about half a day to write the MILP to solve ship-design optimization in Highfleet.

> They lost 700,000 from Russia gained 500,000 elsewhere net -200,000...Loosing Russia wasn't really a consumer choice type of thing.

Management's loss "reasons" all seem valid, but don't forget the production aspect (which is much closer tied to competition)

> "In an effort to continue to gain share in the market, Netflix has increased its content spend, particularly on originals. To pay for it, it’s hiked prices of its service. The company said Tuesday those price changes are helping to bolster revenue, but were partially responsible for a loss of 600,000 subscribers in the U.S. and Canada during the most recent quarter."

My observation is that they are selling attention addiction like Facebook without caring about quality content recently.
Ex: Korean copycat shows and "documentaries", just because both categories tend to rate higher on IMDB. Seems like a decision a PM will make, based on metrics to improve profit, not quality - i.e. give users what they want, even if it is bad for them (or the business) in the long term (as seen with competition's content quality)

PS: Similar thing happened with Facebook back in February. The point is it might take years, but eventually the bs will catch up.

Their desperation is starting to show with the exploration of potential "low hanging fruit" revenue sources like ads instead of new growth markets (games) - as is happening with indirect competitors (Microsoft, Amazon, Google, FB); and direct competitors (Hulu, Disney and HBO): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31101175

The thing about public companies...is that most eventually fall into the pressures of "consistent growth" by stockholders, following the pack mentality (profit at all costs), even if sorting to unethical means.

if your problems can be attacked by LP / MIP type stuff, there's a book "model building in mathematical programming" by Williams that has a couple dozen different optimisation problems for a range of applications, with worked examples of how to formulate a model to solve each of them. each problem will be much less complex than your real-world optimisation puzzle but if you browse through the problem descriptions you might be able to match some against parts of your situation & get ideas for how Williams would model and optimise it.

Any chance you could comment on fluxsort[0], another fast quicksort? It's stable and uses a buffer about the size of the original array, which sounds like it puts it in a similar category as glidesort. Benchmarks against pdqsort at the end of that README; I can verify that it's faster on random data by 30% or so, and the stable partitioning should mean it's at least as adaptive (but the current implementation uses an initial analysis pass followed by adaptive mergesort rather than optimistic insertion sort to deal with nearly-sorted data, which IMO is fragile). There's an in-place effort called crumsort[1] along similar lines, but it's not stable.

I've been doing a lot of work on sorting[2], in particular working to hybridize various approaches better. Very much looking forward to seeing how glidesort works.

Absolutely both. But not just the one.
Sure. As someone with a PhD and a few masters in STEM fields, the holy grail of "useful" degrees a la HN here, I trust the academic institutions to vet what is a "valuable" PhD topic on a societal level. If you don't, we have bigger problems than your snarky attitude about the relatively benign amount of money spent on "useless" PhD topics. When in reality the large majority of waste on campuses is on buildings, administration, and other massive Uni programs being driven/subsidized by unfettered access to student loans to the undergraduate population, who will then never be free from those shackles.

Why are people so focused on this straw man? The problem isn't bad humanities degrees or programs. At all. The problem is the cost of higher ed and the number of people going to get a degree that is effectively a certificate to work in the US economy. Then people needing to take out loans to pay these gate-keepers.

I am also questioning this claim and given there is zero evidence for that, I can also only conclude that it is completely unfounded and baseless.

I mean, I don't think this is really that big of a problem? The reality is that currently, those people are assigning their copyright to the company. They are already participatories in the licensing of that game, they just sign away all their rights, including surrendering their involvement in the term of the copyright.

I think what we're really talking about here, if we wanted a copyright system that didn't allow corporations to own works, would be ending copyright assignment.

In that case, it's likely that part of your employment agreement would simply include a perpetual, exclusive, licensing agreement as well for all works performed on the job. It would be important that the company keep these licensing agreements on file, and would change the legal bias from "company presumed to own" to "company must demonstrate it owns," but that shouldn't really be that onerous. Companies already have to establish contractual basis for nearly everything they do anyways.

And it would put the cards on the table and it would probably make it easier (or at least more possible) to negotiate things like royalties on work that currently almost never gets it.

Also it'd make it a hell of a lot harder to exclude someone from the credits of a game because they quit 2 weeks before it went gold.
Initial connection negotiation and key exchange does, anything after that no. It will use some kind of symmetric algo (generally AES).

It's a bad idea (and no one should be doing it) to continue using asymmetric crypto algorithms after that. If someone can get away with a pre-shared (symmetric) key, sometimes/usually even better, depending on the risk profiles.
