My brother in law lives 1,5km from the place that was hit.

He was not impressed.

And yes - ordinary russians are aware of this, mostly causing questions about a) if it was Ukraine or staged b) where the hell was AA.
>> that better chess players don't evaluate more moves

That's not true. A chess master calculates lines to a much deeper depth than an amateur player. They also have much better heuristics for evaluating positions, true. And they are much better at pruning irrelevant lines, as you say. But at the end of the day a master-level player is evaluating many more positions than an amateur before moving.
To me Garbage Collection in a language makes it easier to work with than a language without.

As an example C# (GC) and Delphi/Turbo Pascal (No GC). Was involved in two projects where the one made in C# became the successful one.

One of the absolute worst things about Delphi was the lack of GC, which took away developer time better spent elsewhere.

Yes, C# had also other benefits, but having a GC is one of the crucial features to make a language popular.
hard to say, because attempting to cash in on your new-found SHA-256 exploit by mining a ton of blocks could quickly tip off others and tank the price of Bitcoin

So short BTC rather than invest in it, and then do it.

Besides, there are plenty of people who would tank BTC just for fun, or to prove its bad somehow, or just to annoy the Winklevoss twins...
That key word being _before_. A savvy attacker could be taking note of the private keys as they went; cashing out the Bitcoin only when the customer data has been fully pilfered and the ransomware installed.

I suppose the balancing act here is in ensuring the Bitcoin amount is enticingly large enough to get an attacker to jump on it first?
What? I just downloaded a flac file and it played fine on my iphone? I've never even tried it before. Am I doing something wrong?
Ah I understand, so in the circumstance you're thinking of it does generally run quite well, but there might be hitches or areas of lower performance that would take a bit more work to get performing perfectly. Without someone directly responsible for those areas as that are changes hands a few times no doubt, eventually it's reached launch time and no one took responsibility.

I recently started working with a large organization and it's made me empathize with how these behemoth pieces of work can miss seemingly obvious issues. People probably noticed, but no one did anything about it since it wasn't in their work stream anymore.

The only time I see people call a comment "harmful" on HN is when they're trying in vain to sound smart, trying to make big talk about how somebody's comment is stupid. I'm honestly just kind of tired of seeing these accusations of "this is a harmful misconception, that's a harmful way of explaining things," etc. It's pointlessly adversarial. It doesn't contribute to the discussion. It doesn't even make you sound smart.

It was used well when Knuth said "goto considered harmful", but that is a clickbait title for an article which advocates structured programming. The title may get people to read the article, but the actual article is the interesting part, the "goto considered harmful" title itself is reductive and just gets copied as a meme into HN comments.
Hey @my123

> However, there's a catch still: there isn't a central update service. So while you might use a custom OS that way, you'll still need to update the vendor partitions (with the drivers, both kernel and user-mode ones) out of band in that scenario to get updates for those.

You can have too much fluoride in your diet and from toothpaste that it causes white streaks on your teeth and potentially on your bones. It’s called fluorosis.

This typically happens with teeth when young children drink fluoridated water, and also drink formula, which has fluoride, mixed with municipal fluoridated water. Or if the well water of an area has too much fluoride.
"... didn't know that you could delete installer files after installing software, taking up several GB of data..."

Although I didn't state it, the point I was making was that there is a considerable - in fact a great difference between being able to solve problems by inference and logical deduction and knowing the specifics of some quirky design that's arisen in the mind of a developer - which, in essence, could be anything, and in fact may itself be illogical and deficient - as I show hereunder!

A good education allows one to develop one's skills and ability to be able to solve problems by inference and logical deduction, it does not teach one to read the minds of every Tom, Dick and Harry although if you have to do that a good education probably helps.

Moreover, no one who is unfamiliar with computer technology would be able to reasonably deduce the problem that you've raised simply because there are multiple and very logical ways (not to mention illogical ones) that installers could be installed onto a PC.

What you said about the removal of installation programs is not necessarily correct, in fact it's often wrong. With many programs installers are required to be left on the PC otherwise the programs will not work or it is impossible to uninstall them without those files!

Your suggestion of removing installers became such a problem for Microsoft that it deliberately removed its useful maintenance program Windows Installer CleanUp Utility† 2.5.0.1 from its website specifically because too many people were using it indiscriminately to do exactly what you suggested.

Again, the knowledge about cleaning up installer files by simply deleting them that you acquired from somewhere and that you found works for you doesn't necessarily do so for everybody - as Microsoft accurately asserts. What I say about that is no matter how bright you are you would NOT be expected to know that there are inconsistencies in this discovered procedure simply BECAUSE the procedure is illogical - that to say not all programs are equal in this respect when they ought to be.

† This is one of a number of Microsoft sites where it discusses this problem https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/window.... BTW, the program is still on my machine because I now know how to use it with care - that is, I've learned to do so after several fuck-ups.
Really interesting. Could you post some sources?
I resonate with this a lot. Currently, I'm the only developer at a startup. The owner is a great guy, and knows some coding, but there is no one to review my code, so it's kind of like playing chess by yourself.

At my last job, I learned a lot more and could rely on more seasoned advice. It is something that I definitely miss, but we plan to hire soon, so I won't be alone forever :)
Yes. If you can't tell the difference in risk between a company that has been around for years and secures tens of billions, and a smart contract literally launched 24 hours ago, you shouldn't be investing in crypto right now.

If you have basic common sense though you'll probably be ok.
Exactly. Just as the fastest typists aren't thinking more quickly, they're relying on "muscle memory". Similarly, a master chess player begins her conscious thought process from good candidate moves supplied subconsciously with the speed of a touch typist.

"Goto Considered Harmful" was Dijkstra. Aside from that, you've spilled a lot of ink for a weak ad hominem.

Beating normies over the head with physics 101 explanations--ones that don't even begin to address the complexity of the subject at hand--to silence perfectly reasonable lines of questioning, is harmful. Exceedingly harmful.
Yes Fuschia is the new OS from Google, and I believe (and I may be wrong) they will eventually use this as the basis for newer versions of Android, together with a compatibility layer to provide a smooth transition.

From what Google, and other knowledgeable people who have studied the project (it's open source) say, the big differences will be in performance, memory efficiency, and security.

I'm not knowledgeable about the internals of the current Android, but to me it has always seemed like a big pile of bolted-on technologies, unable to perform efficiently in any area. But I could be wrong.
Good point, but there could be even more money in calmly 'mining' away at a realistic rate.

The author is Irish, and as an anglo-saxon who has lived in Sweden for the last 17 years, I can relate. We get more systems engineers in the Anglo-saxon world because in part because our education at university tends to be more generalist and also in part because of our more hierarchical organization does not involve everybody in decision making, so people at the bottom let their "mother hen" boss take more responsibility. In strong engineering cultures like Sweden and Germany, we tend to have more specialization and consensus building. There will always be systems engineers, but they are more prevalent in some cultures (anglo-saxon).

> And now I'm just confused. How do we know that fast thinkers aren't using "slow thinking" or anything else when they play at slower time controls? Maybe good fast thinking is correlated with good slow thinking, but this doesn't mean it is the dominant factor!

I believe that the author is just restating the NH, which is the hypothesis that slowing down time controls will make the dominant player more dominant (or at least maintain the advantage). The alternate hypothesis is stated afterwards

> AH: NHC is false. On average, given some rating difference \(x\), if \(A\) beats \(B\) at the quick time control with a probability \(p\), then \(A\) beats \(B\) at the slower time control with probability \(p' < p\).
You're right, it was Dijkstra.

The comment is about how "that's harmful" is a terrible comment. It's just such an awful, terrible type of comment that I've let some ad hominem in there.
Before you reach for conclusions you should at least set up a double blind experiment. Set up 8 experiments 4 on and 4 off, have a friend either plug it in (or not) while you're in the other room and see if you can feel it when you go into the room.
I've experienced lost messages multiple times with Matrix, but I suspect this was due to the shitty clients rather than the protocol.

Not losing messages is also a feature of XMPP. In the distant past, especially before stream management, various kinds of network issue could certainly cause lost messages. These days, almost all implementations support the necessary features to make lost messages virtually impossible (of course, being federated, it's always possible that e.g. the remote server is permanently shut down just after successfully accepting your message, but that risk exists in all protocols including Matrix.)
Everyone is missing the fact that this is just the last mile speed. I would guess that the uplink is very heavily oversubscribed. Indeed, from TFA, his ISP is a boutique kind of ISP (at least in USA they are nearly nonexistent unless you are rural -- I happen to be and have similar access to my ISP) and he even had access to the POP. The edge switches only have a 4x40/100G uplink in this case. The connections can obviously be bonded but the ISP remarks on their own page that the uplink is "just" 100G, ie not utilizing the full capacity available to the hardware.

This is great for sporadic (very high peak to average consumption), residential type of use. Sharing such a high speed link across many subscribers is great. But in no way is this capable of running high bandwidth streaming servers, datacenter-like, from your home, as some are suggesting. Just 4 customers like that would consume the entire bandwidth. No sane ISP would allow even 1 customer to use all their 25G, continuously, that they might argue they paid for.

The peering/transit that the ISP has is also a hugely important factor to how "good" this 25G connection really is.

I'm not knocking it -- I wish I could get even 100M. But at the end of the day, a 1G connection that many USA city dwellers can get will be just as useful as the provisioning of such will be vastly different than the provisioning of this 25G service.
> so the idea that this is some kind of passing fake fad is absurd

Two things can be true simultaneously. DID is real, however, exceptionally rare...and there is also a passing fake fad where (mostly) teenagers struggling with their identities (extremely common at this age) are self diagnosing this and amplifying whatever confusion they might actually feel into this specific pattern of behaviors.

You can't divide by 4.5kg as the distribution of power into the human head is not homogeneous. It's going to be much much higher adjacent to the ear.

We’re building lowdefy: https://github.com/lowdefy/lowdefy

A low-code tool that let’s you build web apps using yaml. In v4, you config is run in a lightweight nextjs app, so should scale as well as nextjs for the most part.

A lot of the issues that people are talking about in this thread have been address, mostly because with lowdefy we’ve focused on making the schema easy to read, write and understand. Currently we write all our apps by hard coding the yaml, and it’s scaling really well in our team.

For writing apps in yaml, you get advantages like:
- Apps follow a structured schema, thus easy to pick up where others left off.
- Nothing is hidden in a GUI. You can copy, paste, find, replace, review changes, duplicate repos, etc.
- Create and manage apps with code, develop scripts, like automating app updates.
- YAML / JSON files work with all dev tools, devs are more efficient when they use their favourite tools.

With Lowdefy v4 you can extend blocks, operators, actions, connections, adapters and providers with plugins, because sometimes custom code is the right solution.

We’ve built enterprise level CRM and MRP systems using Lowdefy and our clients love how fast we ship features that they need in their business processes. It's really working well for our small team!
Makes sense, but I don't think this hypothesis is helpful.

Right at the beginning of the article the author says the main goal is to:

> investigate the extent to which fast thinking is the dominant factor affecting game outcomes at any time control.

To achieve this goal, I think we'd need an hypothesis that isolates the effects of fast thinking, and not one that could confound correlated factors with the effects of fast thinking itself.

By just comparing probabilities of winning at various time controls, we're evaluating players as a whole and not isolating any aspect of their thinking, so this hypothesis doesn't seem helpful.

Perhaps if the study looked at individual moves and how much time they took to make that could help?
You'd also have to put the experimental group there, too.
You wouldn't need to blind an experiment like this, I'd think. Placebo won't prevent cancer, and nocebo won't cause it. (Besides, I don't see how you can blind it. Not like someone's not going to know whether their phone works or not!)

You could try recruiting your control cohort from the National Radio Quiet Zone. I believe it's quite thinly populated, though.
Unless you work in a field that exposes you to extremely rare psychological conditions, there is absolutely no way for any person to have had contact with a half a dozen people with severe DID. If you're talking about the new wave of people who are self diagnosing with nonsense, then sure, but that's not what we're talking about.
You can't. The Zone exists to enable sensitive radio astronomy; if you radiate without authorization, they DF you and come tell you to stop.
A $20 preconfigured hosting node could easily include a domain name. Tying identity to a domain name uses the existing, actually decentralised, widely adopted since ~40 years, infrastructure of the DNS. Instead of throwing existing technology out and trying to build everything from scratch (which we should see clearly for what it really is: an attempt to retain more control), Internet standards like XMPP build upon what came before.
I mean it's not like they're risking a massive amount of ETH on the first try, but if they saw it get stolen the first time, sure, they might try sniping the token by running/bribing a miner if the payout was great enough (there are networks of miners that let you include transactions without getting front-run by paying them a fee)

The dust is ejected from the comet at relatively low speeds and the particles therefore remain in orbits that are very similar to the comet’s. Lots of objects in similar-but-different orbits quickly diverge such that they spread out along the entire orbital ellipse. So think about it more as a stream of objects in the shape of the comet’s ellipse. The whole area of the comet’s orbit is a “high traffic zone” for small particles, and where those streams cross the earth’s orbit you get meteor showers.

Imagine two small pebbles ejected from a comet at the same time, one in the prograde direction (ie. in the comet’s direction, ahead of it) and one retrograde. For the first pebble, at the point 180 degrees opposite on its orbital ellipse, it’s orbit has been raised by (say) a few thousand km, while the second pebble’s orbit has been lowered by a few thousand km. If you zoom out you can barely tell the difference - on a solar system scale the ellipses look almost identical. But the difference in velocities means that they will quickly start to diverge in time. Both pebbles will do a full orbit and return roughly to the same point in space where they were ejected. But the retrograde particle (ie. the one “dumped out the back” of the comet instead of the one “fired ahead” of the it) will arrive there much earlier - it went faster and had less distance to cover. Repeat with millions or particles and you get a cloudy stream along the ellipse.
