That's Finland, which is not Scandinavia.
A professional researcher should have a decent real camera at least. Trap cameras will register everything of that size in the area and can be set to register non stop for six months, so the excuse of "birds are afraid of us and fly" is not really solid.

Some cheap trap cameras are just too shitty to be useful. They just need to keep trying. But not a single good photo still, after decades of people trying to find it, carries a strong suspicion of extinction.
Sure, it's speculation, but remember that he is the Chief Scientist (think CTO) as well as CEO. Major technical decisions go through him.

On the contrary, I enjoy a good discussion!

I do totally get the point of using a framework like React or Vue to manage state on a complex app. I do purposefully call them apps, because websites are a more general term. Hand woven javascript UI, even if it was using an utility framework like mootools could get out of hand pretty easily. I recall things like extjs that were also popular.

Following my own example, managing push state by hand was tricky. So I did buy in on the premise that an opinionated way of structuring help and more importantly state was necessary. But I have been consistently failing to learn any new frontend tool ever since. This was not terrible professionally, since I mostly do what most refer to backend or systems. But still it is a bit frustrating not being able to follow along. Maybe it would be easier if this was 'it' when I started learning as sometimes it's difficult to forget and relearn.

Speaking of React / Vue codebases, I have thrice tried to contribute some changes or fix a bug on different projects and the amount of boilerplate I had to go through felt completely unnecessary and overkill. Maybe the pattern on these never 'clicked' or I was very unlucky to stumble unto bad examples. It's very easy to dismiss something one does not understand as unnecessary complex so I am still open minded about it. The feeling of disgust when I see the many levels of inference, types and juggling state around for UX that I see as pretty basic persists, though. I like the result, I abhor the execution.
Entertaining, inaccurate article. Weak thesis. If this is the industry status quo, it's remarkable how little depth it has.
> I've deployed both AppArmor and SELinux in high security environments, and they're nice layers of security to have.

Let me guess... you were paid full time to do it...
Exactly, as long as it's readable and consistent I don't care what style other people write their code in, all I ask is that they and the compiler give me the same freedom and Nim and Go don't do that.

> It seems like every developer has hot takes about code style. With Nim, no matter what hot takes you have about code style, I can import your module without you forcing your style into my code.

I assume you're talking about the partial case insensitivity of Nim? I find that a bit weird tbh but I can see the appeal, you no longer would have things like a dependency doing weird things like all caps function names and forcing you to have that in your code.
I feel the same way. Not to say this is a bad idea, chat / IRC / etc. are all massively successful and when I was younger I loved hanging out on chat.

The problem for me is chat is synchronous. You have to sit there staring at it to participate in conversations. As a result, since I now have kids/job/etc. I basically can't participate in communities which are primarily chat based (like Discord, IRC, and so on).

The only communities I still participate in actively are those on reddit, precisely because I can engage at my leisure rather than having to respond in near real time. I feel it's the closest we have to mailing lists and forums of old.
You mention that your email responses to complaints are not sent to spam.

How are those different to the emails that are marked as spam? Therein may lie a clue as to what is causing the problem.

Fighting big companies is a David vs Goliath battle. Except in the world of lawyers and deep corporate pockets, the Davids end up being chewed up and spat out.
It's the euphemism treadmill.
It's kinda obvious that this is using degrees, not radians.
Yes, in a way that is inclusive of the reader. E.g "we next examine the implications of theorem 3". This guy uses it in ways that clearly refer only to himself, and not this rhetorical "we".
Worse! You report this information to government authorities, who monitor this and may decide at a future time that the things you were shopping for today mark you as a bad or suspicious person.

Worse! You also share this information with credit bureaus, meaning the data is available to potential employers. Thus limiting your job options.

Looked at a hookah once because you were curious? Sorry, no pot-heads in my company!
My country has it and I hope it is ignored. I don't want to subject the rest of the world to such a narrow view of allowed conduct. Prosecution is opportunistic here which simply allows for abuse left and right without much safeguards. It is sold as a safety feature but it is just bad or in the worst case even malicious. Not at all against the US setting the standard here for once.

Ask HN: If you had 24 hours in the year 2050, what questions would you ask?
Assume that you cannot bring anything with you except a notebook and a pen.

You’re able to travel instantaneously between locations and the people there are expecting you.

At the end of the 24 hour period, you are returned to the present day.

What questions do you ask to maximize the utility of information you capture?
The Kahn Academy is boring online trash dressed up with famous media hype, and this sounds like more of the same. They seem to have anti-learned the lesson from the year* of pandemic online school: So, that was terrible, let’s do more if it and make it sound like a 6 hour straight zoom meeting isn’t everyone’s worst nightmare.
This sums up the evolution properly, but one correction is that the component frameworks were there before jquery so 2 and 3 need to switch places.

What ads do Echo devices say or show?

Aside from annoying suggestions like "By the way, you can ask me who the most famous person in the world is".
I have the feeling, that the paper is flawed and missing an important experiment.
All their results seem to rely on skills being used.
There is indeed a need then for Amazon to prevent user tracking in skills (like for example Apple does and requires consent by the user).
But to come to the conclusion that Amazon shares the data with advertisers I would have expected an experiment with eliminating skills as a reason and just having personas interact with Alexa core services. I guess just from shopping questions or general knowledge questions a lot of information for ad targeting could be inferred. If that’s however not influencing ads served when no skills are used, then it’s not necessarily Amazon directly sharing the information, but the skills being able to do so using Amazons provided tooling.

That’s a difference at least for my interpretation how “evil” company xyz is.
I think what it's actually showing (per Section 6.1) is that Amazon is using wishy-washy language to give the impression that they are not using voice recordings to build ad profiles on users[1]. They instead claim that it's for "personalized experiences" and "building inclusiveness".

This adorable little infographic on "the journey of a voice request" conveniently leaves out that it gets used for advertisement[2]. They have also made public statements that outright state that voice data doesn't get used for ad-targeting[3]

Right, but perhaps the McCarthy era is?

Or the civil rights movement?

Or the labor movements?
Yes it would be nice to get a some comparison of fidelity, range etc. It mentions high-quality sound.
But it does seem more efficient than traditional speaker designs.

From the article:
They tested their thin-film loudspeaker by mounting it to a wall 30 centimeters from a microphone to measure the sound pressure level, recorded in decibels. When 25 volts of electricity were passed through the device at 1 kilohertz (a rate of 1,000 cycles per second), the speaker produced high-quality sound at conversational levels of 66 decibels. At 10 kilohertz, the sound pressure level increased to 86 decibels, about the same volume level as city traffic.

The energy-efficient device only requires about 100 milliwatts of power per square meter of speaker area. By contrast, an average home speaker might consume more than 1 watt of power to generate similar sound pressure at a comparable distance.
On iOS, the word "Siri" can be detected at any time (if set so).

Maybe (just an hypothesis) there could be a set of other keywords also listened for, that once detected could start another more complex routine. Like that, you could limit the battery impact, and yet be able to listen to the users for advertising purpose.
There are lots of people who still purchase CDs. At least four a week is my normal haul from charity shops!
Make no mistake, both parties have entrenched themselves to the extent that they no longer have to serve their constituents. I moved from a red state to a blue one a few years ago, thinking it would make a difference. The corruption is everywhere.
I've had quite some problems setting up DPDK and other device drivers inside of containers. It looks like it should be easy, yes, but then reality hits you in the face.
4 is from a decade ago. Perhaps consider what has happened since.
Sure, "for the ... projects. Yeah, for them!"

Just like Iran-Contra was about selling missiles to Iran to, er ... arm Contras! In fact there was never a speck of evidence where any of the missile money went. But CIA officers retire oddly comfortably, as a rule.

They also imported ton after ton of cocaine to sell into LA to get black kids addicted. My brother used to see them unloading, off on the other side of the airport.
and yet we rarely hear of gmail blocking accounts for political reasons , which happens all the time in mastodon. And, people switch to substack and newsletters to avoid being locked in twitter. I think the problem with mastodon is that instances want to be communities, while they should simply be a content-agnostic utility.

I think we need to treat social networking as part of messaging

Yeah, and Hume's problem of induction is that we don't have solid reasons for expecting the future to be like the past, because causality is not observed, but rather is a habit of thought. We think the sun will shine tomorrow because laws of physics regarding nuclear fusion, but we can't prove they will be the same tomorrow morning. We just assume it. That goes for all science. Which is why Kant was motivated to try and save science from Hume.

This isn't even a case where we can assign some probability. If the laws of physics just changed on us, we have no priors to calculate that. We can argue that they won't, but we have no proof of that. The laws may might just be contingent (A always follows B for no reason until it no longer does for no reason, because nothing causes it to follow or not follow, because there is no causality and laws are nothing but constant conjunction up to this point in time).
He stole the toy perhaps :)

But it was a good idea to give to me to give my girl her first proper RC car. (got her a paw patrol RC car before, but sigh could only go straight or circle left backwards at the same time, and not easy to hack to make it behave like a normal RC car)
It's the difference between:

(lim x->0 1-x) == 1

and

lim x->0 (1-x == 1)

The top one yields True, the bottom one False.
I run a global remote startup, by the nature of people having different time zones it’s impossible to ensure everyone is on at the same times - mostly just means a) employees need more than one thing going on at once in case one thing gets blocked a few hours for a stakeholder to wake up; and b) we have to communicate more than a colocated, same time zone team would. But I find the ups to outweigh the downs.
The sweet spot is still there, in theory. React itself is just a few functions forming a very simple (but not necessarily intuitive) abstraction.

The issue is the community is batshit and it's almost impossible to find or build a team that's going to democratically decide to use a sensible approach. If you want to keep a simple codebase on a React project your three options are build the entire thing yourself, be the best interviewer of all time and find a one in a million team, or be willing to be an absolute nazi and piss off a bunch of confident amateurs that want to overengineer everything.

If you can somehow avoid ending up with 20 other shit dependencies then React is a big upgrade over the frameworks that came before.
BEAM is precompiled bytecode. The loader will peephole optimize the byte code replacing some instruction sequences with optimized variants. Bytecode resides in memory already, and there is no disk seeking.
So many high schools are dysfuntional I was able to get my son into Cc for the last two years of high school. Made a huge difference in his life.
Your last paragraph is not a logical conclusion to your first two paragraph statements.
I will play the devil's advocate: why would anyone outside of the realm of die-hard FOSS on Unix-like systems wrap text to 72 columns? Look, I'm not doing it now. This entire paragraph I'm entering into HN is one giant line of text that gets wrapped.

Suppose you're working on software for which patches will not be sent to FOSS mailing lists that are anti-HTML, anti-MIME, anti-long-line, ... why would you wrap the body of commit messages to 72 columns?
Kernel and it's successor wat (https://github.com/manuel/wat-js) has some great stuff, I personally prefer open composition from maru https://www.piumarta.com/freeco11/freeco11-piumarta-oecm.pdf
as it combines fexprs and macros into one construct.
I hear this argument a lot, but lets's ask the question: are high schools the best way to learn to "deal with people?" How much trauma have high schools inspired and can we do better now that we have other options?
But is seems that she is an actual doctor, albeit not one with 15 years of experience.

The possibility of losing your medical license should be scary.
Just keep telling yourself that.

Hint: the overwhelming majority of people in the world hardly ever think about America at all, and then usually only when it is forced on them. You mostly only hear about the few who do, and imagine they are typical.
Same here, I went back to native desktop development, and nowadays I am mostly focused on backends in what concerns Web development.

If I need to do WebUI stuff on my own, it is classical vanilajs with SSR in Java/.NET frameworks.
They had to know when they picked that name. If workers at Slack actually pronounce it like "Ehm See Rib" or, forbid it, "Ehm See Ahr Eye Bee" and not "McRib", I have very little interest in working there.
It’s the most successful one but okay.
My ecmascript/js journey switched tracks into framework land with backbone + requirejs circa 2010/11 .. Appreciate there was prior (and parallel) art, but for me that combo really presented a seismic shift in terms of seamless and integrated js application dev, ready for a post-flash/jquery/ie6-8/browser-hackfest world.

I wouldn't dare comment on how far we've come since the early days of web scripting, or frameworks for that matter, but for all the talk of added complexity I'd sure say it feels a lot easier (and infinitely less hacky) these days.
Technically the page does exist, it returns 200 OK.

How does datalog the pure prolog subset store its data?
It‘s in this state since v2 has been released. You will also find either trivial examples for the simple Caddyfile format or the very complex json format. Very often I have to try for a very long time whether a json configuration is available for Caddyfile - basicslly googling 30+ min.
Certainly some esports skills are transferable. There are (for instance): surface level things, low-level mechanics (e.g. CSing in MOBAs); larger strategies (e.g. team play, map movements, game sense); and meta-learning things, like how to learn games efficiently, take care of yourself, work with a team in the physical world, manage a career, etc.
Why would you say that? Can you elaborate? As far as I'm concerned, it is a great free online resource which makes learning accessible to everyone. Sal Khan is also an excellent teacher.
It's logically invalid. You can't have an urn filled with only white balls and draw a black ball. That would mean the urn wasn't filled with only white balls. There's zero probability the urn contained only white balls after you draw that black ball.

Before you might have given a nonzero probability because you didn't know whether there was a black ball. But once you know there is, you can't have some nonzero belief in there only being white balls.
> To overcome this problem, the MIT team rethought the design of a thin-film loudspeaker. Rather than having the entire material vibrate, their design relies on tiny domes on a thin layer of piezoelectric material which each vibrate individually. These domes, each only a few hair-widths across, are surrounded by spacer layers on the top and bottom of the film that protect them from the mounting surface while still enabling them to vibrate freely.

Whoa, does this mean an array of individually addressable micro-speakers becomes feasible? Like pixels in a computer screen, send different signals to each tiny speaker? That would mean craaaazy spatial audio, if I'm not mistaken.
I think a competitive, decentralized system is the way to go.

Basically, you would have independently set and assessed requirements. In the case of universities, it would be admission requirements, that the universities set and independently assess. Students, that want to get to these universities, then use any resource available to them to learn to those requirements. This could be through a mix of online and offline classes, remote learning, evening classes, day school, textbooks, tutors etc. "Official" high school is de-emphasized in this scheme, as there is no way it can provide the right thing for everyone. Nobody should be punished for school absences for pursuing their (academic) interests.

Schools should also do all they can to emphasize academics and de-emphasize sports, to counter-balance the natural tendencies of teenagers.
The article has a video of the speaker playing "We Are the Champions" by Queen. It's clearly muffled quite bit, but damn good quality for a paper thin speaker burning just 100mW.
> Let me guess... you were paid full time to do it...

It was my job, but was a one time requirement. I decided that it was the right way, learnt and made it work.

And it solved the problem, rather elegantly.

I'm driven by my curiosity and desire the do things the right way.
It's from one of the first implementations of the language. If you want to move fast, and you have no ambition about execution speed, this is a solution to the problem of implementing loops.

PHP worked by parsing code directly from the file for every executed statement. So you ran the full lex->parse->interpret path for each statement. A loop need to jump back, which can be tracked by the file offset position, so you can redo the lex->parse->interpret step for the loops statements again.

Modern PHP will not do this, because it's highly inefficient. I'm not even sure it survived into the 2000's.

This post and messages freak me out because I’m getting confused what the input and output is.

Please everyone, can you make sure your posts are edited in a way to avoid any confusions.

My “opinion” is that this is not as impressive as most people think it is once you understand the (really) huge amounts of text the system ingests for the algorithms to extract the output. There is no magic.
unfortunately it is not like email. they don't block for spam, they block for things they don't like. i don't know if it is a cultural problem, or an consequence of the fact that mastodon started in the mid-2010s vs email which is ancient
In 2010 it made it very easy to share libraries which helped Node grow in popularity. I don’t believe it was possible to do anything like this in Rhino without Java packages but I could be wrong. Certainly it wasn’t as easy as with npm.

Maybe it didn’t have package signing, lock files, or deduping, but clearly it was popular in spite of those faults.
Nice work! Awesome to see something built of charm.sh libraries - love what those folks are doing.

Would be nice to have a way to have `checklists` too, I found this recently which looks cool: https://github.com/atolye15/checklist

Congrats on the launch! There's definitely a need for this. Rooting for you. Liked the video, charts and explanation- clean, easy to understand.
That’s misleading. Australia has very strict and regularly enforced laws about “proceeds of crime” which acts as a deterrent against future crime.
I think you nailed the real issue that caused the incident: saying "consul down == unhealthy memcached", then evicting the node. If Mcrib instead did some actual applicative healthchecks (e.g. memcached ping), which could be correlated with some system metrics (cpu, ram), it could avoid evicting those perfectly good nodes with a warm cache that just happen to have a restarting consul agent.

Granted, this is easy to say once the incident happened with an excellent postmortem, but this should be an industry-wide wakeup call: don't do this.

I have the same issue at work, where people treat a "prometheus node_exporter down" as a "the app on the machine is down". I've started to add the actual app name in our alerts, and now people don't freak out anymore when they see "down" alerts: oh node_exporter is down, but not the app? Don't panic and calmly check why.
