Something between 24-40% of silver coins found at archaeological sites appear to have been counterfeit, for most of the period of empire. There certainly were laws against counterfeiting, with punishments including being fed to the lions. This paper gives a good overview of the laws, and archaeological results:

I agree with this recollection, there was a gap period (although that might have been a time when Github was less prominent but still existing)
Oof, that gave me instant depression.
I think the person you're responding to is just trying to be thorough in case it is helpful to someone else setting up python tooling; the only parts of what they wrote that are relevant to type checking are mypy and pydantic.
Levelling cities is easy.

Fighting entrenched armies, especially ones using Fabian tactics, is hard.

A punching bag doesn't hit back.

I hope that helps. Even North Korea could probably launch an ICBM and level a US city. That doesn't mean they'd have a shot at winning a war.
I absolutely do this.

The most interesting site I've pw reset and cancelled so far has been my name-sake's dating account on bigblackbeautifulsingles. He had quite a few matches.
It is one strategy to victory yes.

There is thousands of years of military history from all sides employing the same things. War sucks.
That was eventually the successful Russian strategy in Chechnya.

(I don't think it'll work as well here. 40x the population, Western support, better Ukrainian equipment.)
The Illustrated QUIC Connection: Every Byte Explained
The main difference is that Erlang is very strict about the kind of programs it will run (purely functional green-thread-esque processes and OO systems that utilize message passing and code that is modified must be swapped in/out at strictly defined points in program lifecycle), whereas CL is a fully mutable environment where modification can happen at any time during program lifecycle. Much more powerful, which comes with benefits as much as it comes with the amount of guns to blow your feet off with.

There are multiple fronts to this war; each one distinctly different in its outcomes. It’s not especially clever to blithely conflate them and then accuse your own confused interpretation of being propaganda.
Great tool.Instant report generation feature is awesome!
Author here, QUIC is a secure replacement for TCP that's also the basis of HTTP/3. I wrote this because I like to understand things at the byte level, and because (from past experience with my TLS 1.3 and 1.2 pages) it's a great way to remind myself of some detail of the protocol when I need it.

Share and enjoy!
Also, Mariupol is close to the border and so doesn’t require as much logistics as Kyiv, which is in the center of the country.

You're right, but the article posted includes statements like:

> Two hundred thousand subscribers did not suddenly quit their subscriptions and start using their friends’ passwords.

That implies the author thought this was a natural subscription drop and not a result of losing 700k subscribers in Russia. I'm not sure I have any confidence in their predictions about the future, since they're so clueless about what's happening today.
This is nothing new, but especially in urban warfare all buildings become targets.

In Mariupol fighting is going on within the city so that's what happens. If you look at previous historical examples, the same result ensues. Stalingrad being a very famous one, Berlin as well, Beirut in Lebanon during the civil war, recently Aleppo in Syria. Before that you can find pictures of the American Civil War. Dresden and Tokyo were flattened during WWII without any actual ground fighting going on there, just large scale air bombings with incendiary bombs...

In conventional warfare since at least the 19th century, cities get flattened.

In the media, and judging by the reactions to this comment, people are driven emotionally in the moment for the purpose of manufacturing public opinion (i.e. war propaganda) but it's always useful to keep distances and keep some perspective. Especially since this is the first large-ish scale conventional warfare in some time, at least with this level of media coverage.
>Are they using artillery on cities?

Yes, also aircraft dropped bombs, missiles, rockets, mortars, direct fire from tanks, etc.
By far it’s US political campaigns and non–profits. I’ve regressed to only using one email address for pretty much everything except financial accounts and political campaigns. For political donations I now give either a campaign or year specific address that immediately routes to spam or trash.

I have three addresses which match my hn account that I first registered in the 1990s and over time have received bank account logins, credit card information, legal documents, and a huge variety of extremely personal information. So many top online services utterly fail to verify email addresses…I now have multiple instagram accounts simply to block others from signing up with them.
First example that comes to my mind: you have a game loop running and you would like to change the way the scene is rendered without restarting the game loop altogether and/or losing the current state of the game.
I don't see anything in the 2022 blog post that contradicts the 2014 mailing list post. These are different features with different trade-offs and somewhat overlapping use cases.
It's not really as necessary as you think -- making mypy/pyright pass your CI ends up being a lot of busy work to make the type checker happy when, to me, all the value is realized when it's used as a development aid. If your test suite passes that's honestly more than good enough.
If ISPs could do anything to the Internet content their subscribers requested, including block it, zero-rate it, or modify it, how many ISPs would a competitive landscape need in order to guarantee there is at least one that performs no blocking at all?

I doubt poles could physically handle the number of lines to ISPs that are needed to guarantee this.
Probably due to the ghost of Kiev.
OOO is definitely observable when dealing with multithreading.

That's why you have things like memory order constraints on atomic operations in C, and why you need to be extremely careful with how you place things like memory fences when doing anything fine-grained between several threads.
This is great news. Hopefully the regular CNN will fold soon as well. Their target audience is Boomers, and their business model is to enrage their viewers with sensationalism or outright propaganda ("Fiery but mostly peaceful protests"), then sell them SSRIs. They are a sick organization.

TIL that you can get a Roman coin for as little as about $30.
At least shimano stamps a part number on most of its parts. I mostly repair 70s-80s bikes and often encounter an “I’ve never seen this before”, or a situation where parts have the same branding on them, but clearly went through multiple (undocumented) iterations.

There ends up being a lot of “close enough” substitutions. E.g. cones on axles.
I don't speak French, and I nevertheless understood what he meant by double movement. If you speak French, then you will probably appreciate this passage.
Yeah, probably both for "shock and awe" purposes and to reduce the risks of guerrilla ambush.

The thing is that they've done it really badly, so they've suffered all the propaganda penalties without convincingly getting the upper hand. And they've killed a lot of civilians too, obviously.

Oh no no, it's a material and strategic part of their business. Here's a good overview of Adobe's role from a few years ago. They have been in this business since at least the early 2000s. They are like a mini-Google- selling a variety of personal and enterprise products (including "content management") that have "audience" and "optimization" components that tie into their brokering business, in addition to engaging directly with other ad ecosystem players.

Print out the emails you get from them, highlight the recipient email address, then mail them a love letter containing their own messages. Put a parking garage as the return address.

I used to know people who would commute by train to London from Bath and Bristol. Every day.

And others who would drive from central Wiltshire to London and back. Every day.

Work from home should have highlighted the insanity of those kinds of work patterns. Trains are greener than cars, but no commuting at all is greener still.

Unfortunately it's looking more like we'll be heading back to pre-Covid normal, with very limited mixed-mode working offered as a bonus to those who qualify for it.
No "other manner" is here described, or has ever been described by humanity

Levelling cities in the rest of Ukraine wouldn't be hard either, if Russia chose to do so. Carpet bombing, cruise missiles, ICBMs, etc. would all do it, kill a lot of civilians, and are within Russia's military capacity.

Killing soldiers in bunkers, dug-in in trenches, and underground? Not so much.
Well I’m jealous of you then. You must know that is an extreme outlier in the US though. I’ve been lucky to get 50-100mbps for $60 in most cities I’ve lived in.
So Fox News' business model :)
Python has a tremendous amount of momentum because it has become so popular outside of the traditional software development world, but other languages are picking away at it, even given that momentum. And while I am in a bubble, like everyone else, in my bubble, and those I talk to in my bubble, all see large a shift away from Python.

Adding stronger typing, like type hints, could reverse that, of course.

The reason not to is performance and reliability. Typing helps with the latter, Python is just bad at the former.

It's simple. It's like Sharia law. People agree to not have the law apply to situations before they get into them as a precondition for working, having a place to sleep, buying things, having medical care, or entering a building, etc., and the law looks the other way while a judge for hire decides what's right.
Thanks for the website feedback. I honestly just put it there as a placeholder and was working entirely on the app. Then I realized that for showing on HN the website is the right way to go so I tossed something together.

I'll put a .gif higher up in the website flow to highlight the point of the app and show a more recent version.

Not sure if I should do a real demo or stick with the office though. It's pretty hard to beet...
ohh that's really interesting. Any chance of open sourcing this as a library?
Both,

And for some reason Russian propaganda prefers you to believe that their biggest warship in Black Sea sunk before of Russian incompetence and not a chance it was some Ukrainian missile. Let's see how many weeks until Putin admits most of the soldiers died on the ship.
This is a rather uninteresting statement, as we all live in bubbles - knowledge of them helps, but really just puts you in a different bubble. Still a bubble.
Articles like this are missing the overall context. People don't turn hobbies into side hustles because their day job is so fulfilling or they earn more than enough money from it, or because they are generally happy about their position in life. They do it because their job is not fulfilling or they are genuinely unhappy in it (worker dissatisfaction), they don't earn enough money from it (real wages going down over time counting for inflation), and/or they are unhappy about their position in life (looking at other people on Instagram.)

Unless the motivations to start a side hustle are explored, articles like this are a bit hollow.
Bit aligned instructions? Yeah, that definitely sounds mad, like my joke proposal that instructions should be Huffman-coded so the frequent ones take fewer bits. Might make sense if you're doing a microcontroller with a few K of ROM and need to save bits, but otherwise no.
Well... there goes my Friday.

Well-written article but extremely heavy on the existential dread and questioning whether I am spending my time wisely.
Some of the newer map tile formats are vectors instead of raster. But technology hasn't quite caught up with that yet. And some things are still better are rasters (like overlaying satellite/aerial imagery).
There’s a surprising number of people around who seem to think there’s no actual war happening and it’s all just visual effects. It’s all oriented around how a shadowy elite is using it to bring in some great reset, and reveal themselves as lizard people or something.

I’ve thought about offering to show them personal evidence of dead family and friends in Ukraine, but I don’t think that will really change anything. There’s always some excuse or way for them to deny it.
>their business model is to enrage their viewers with sensationalism or outright propaganda

You've just described all news media.
Of course it's worth noting that the Roman authorities themselves debased the coins at various times throughout empire so even the official stuff could be worthless:

There's also a very interesting new OSS plugin standard called "CLAP", from the U-he devs:

Bitwig has it integrated experimentally, and I believe the REAPER devs have said they aren't opposed to adding it in the future.
Then we have a repeat performance of everything I said before but merely in a different town. Even in towns as far flung as Peterborough, Reading or Oxford there are numerous issues with accessing and parking at the stations.

Sorry, what does this mean?
On endianness, I'm not making a claim that one or the other is "better" or "right" -- merely that little-endian architectures are pervasive in the current world, and so picking big-endian for a hypothetical new architecture would be unnecessarily forcing it to deal with "this software is buggy on big-endian" issues forever. Which is fine if there is some really strong reason your new architecture should be big-endian; but if it's mere aesthetic preference then the cost probably outweighs the benefit right now.
I started working at startups in the early 00's right out of school, and arrived at roughly the same conclusion you did.

I switched to working in higher ed at a research institution (making much less, of course). I won't pretend that I'm out there saving lives or anything, and I won't pretend that there's not still a massive amount of BS and red tape, but at the end of the day I do go home and think I might be contributing something actually useful to the researchers and educators who are using my software.

It's important to not define yourself by your work, but it's also important to feel like your work has some meaning. I just couldn't find that at startups (even one I had high hopes for, in the energy sector working on smart grid tech).
Well the problem I'm trying to point out is that yes it is a fundamentally human problem. The problem is that a machine is amplifying this. There is a curation of content that is personal that may lock you harder in the filter bubble than a newspaper trying to cater to a wide audience. To cater to wider audience occasionally the newspaper will contain something that outside of your safe little bubble. It is a bigger chance that you expand and/or evolve your views because of this. Of course the option is to be closed minded, but that is a choice by the reader and not the social media platform which do it for you automatically to keep you using the platform.

This theory has been around for decades and keeps getting "rediscovered" every few years. I think this newly published finding is additional evidence but it's not a major new discovery.

Good for you, that puts you in the top 1% of US towns (maybe even 0.1%). Way to totally miss the forest for the trees.

> So FAANG are merely violating the intent of the law

If someone can't hire enough domestic workers when offering $300k/year, I think it's safe to say there aren't enough domestic workers. At that salary level there are unlikely to be loads of people uninterested in the job. It's not hard, dangerous manual labor.
> Are they using artillery on cities?

What on earth did you think they were using it for?

Absolutely baffling that someone could not be aware of this.
That list is an editor, a type checker, a package to enforce type checks at runtime, 3rd party type annotations for a popular SQL ORM, some plugins for the type checker (probably the pydantic one), a code formatter, an import sorter, and (optionally) a Github co-pilot alternative.
It's the only way to beat an enemy entrenched in a city. See Fallujah or Raqqa for similar battles.
As long as it's a http only secure cookie... it should not be a huge issue. Session ids are basically replacement for username+password anyway, and nobody cares they're stored in a cookie. Server knows the plaintext password already, too.

So the only remaining issues are security issues around sharing your computer with other people, or programs. I guess stealing a session id is mildly less problematic than stealing the password in case the password is re-used elsewhere.

A few initial thoughts:

- This is a win for the polygon network and USDC adoption

- Twitter payouts is a small (in value) but high profile place to start

- I can see this being great for use cases where your bank might restrict withdrawals based on the activities that resulted in the payout

- Stripe should build a crypto off-ramp. It would be a short-term distraction for them but long-term could position them to be _the_ business bank

"Is this the real explanation or was it low viewership / subscriptions?"

Oh it's 100% low viewership & subscriptions. If it was making money you don't just slam the money spigot shut without a plan. You tell people you're going to do your merge or whatever and you do a cutover without interruption.

When businesses say "We did X because of Y", my suggestion is simply straight-up ignore the claimed reason. Or, slightly more sophisticated, that statement should be read as "We did X and we'd like you to act as if the reason is Y". It should be read as only weak support for Y being a reason at all, let alone the primary reason. Politician's statements should be read the same way, for that matter.

If you pay attention to these sorts of statements it isn't hard to start noticing a number of statements where X and Y actively contradict each other. A common one is where Y is "for your convenience", e.g., "We've fired all our human support staff and replaced them with a deep, impenetrable phone tree that doesn't even cover the top 3 reasons people called our support staff, for your convenience".
I’m not sure I understand. If the effect shown in the paper is regression to the mean, then that does mean the paper doesn’t actually demonstrate what it claims to, right? I mean you can argue that the idea is still plausible, but this would mean that the paper doesn’t support the claim that low skill people overestimate themselves, right?

It’s also an interpretation to focus on unskilled people as the explanation. DK’s data shows the very same effect on highly skilled people. The people in the top quartile were just as bad at self-estimating as the bottom quartile, yet the paper claims only the unskilled people were unaware!

I recommend reading the DK paper. It didn’t test any people of low ability, and it did not evaluate skill in absolute terms. The sample size was tiny. The kids who participated were all earning extra credit in a class (it’s a self-selecting population that might have excluded both A students and F students.) The students were all Ivy League undergrads who might all overestimate their abilities precisely because they’re in a prestigious school and their parents told them they’re great. The paper didn’t test any actual low IQ population. The paper has methodology problems when it comes to non-native English speakers.

It absolutely blows my mind that the paper is held up as evidence for some kind of universal human trait with such miniscule and completely questionable evidence. I have no doubt that some people overestimate their abilities in some situations. Like you, I’m sure, I’ve witnessed that. But as a commentary on all of humanity, I’m becoming convinced that the so-called DK effect does not exist, that they didn’t show what they claim to show. It doesn’t help that many replication attempts have not only failed to replicate, but have ended up showing the opposite effect: that for many kinds of skilled activities, people.
