Don't remember were, but I saw someone randomly rolling the sex of NPCs when the sex isn't important to story. A nice touch, which made me realize that a lot of NPCs I came up with weren't randomly distributed. magicians for example tended to majority female...

Once I built a separate Battletech universe using the random event tables from the MW3 RPG. it was centered around one particular merc unit and span like 150 years. Was fun to interpret the random events to put them into context and build story around it.

I’ve done the same with nodejs, express, ejs, and bootstrap. I deploy with git to dokku running on linode with letsencrypt setup. That’s a lot of words but it’s bot as complex as it sounds and once it’s setup, enhancements are easy.

I run a small laser cutting service for the rocketry hobby. That stack works pretty well for me.

It is not clear to me what was the problem they wanted to solve?

It talks about how they got tired of having to swap sharing different windows in Zoom. But instead of sharing their whole screen they did... something complicated.

And then they never return to the original zoom sharing problem, so it's not clear how it solved that problem? But then there is a new problem. They are setting up training machines... where the users can ssh in for some reason? Unclear really. They just need one gotty per user, that's all they tell us.

Probably it was a great hack, and all the power to them, but as a blogpost it is very hard to follow their thread. Would benefit from a bit more polish and editing.

Congrats to the founders and ( hopefully ) the team for the big payday.

Fires not registering high seems irrelevant? When I lived in Asia, hepatitis B didn’t register high yet it was rampant.
Hackmaster dialled this all up to 11 because it's essentially an extended joke in rulebook form. It was original referenced as the game played by the characters in a gaming cartoon strip, and only became an actual thing years later. A lot of the outcomes on the tables are there for laughs.

There are more serious games that had lots of tables, like Rolemaster, and basically the idea is for the game system to generate a wide variety problems and situations for the players to deal with, in combat but also in encounters and such. This takes some load off the GM by providing a lot of variety without preparation, but also because these outcomes are generated by the rules, the players can't claim the GM is picking on them by imposing nasty consequences arbitrarily. It's just one school of game design though.
This is basically exactly what the article says.

There is zero evidence at all that Apple knew before media knew; and there is plenty of evidence Apple is fixing this stuff ASAP without medialization.

It's totally unrealistic to expect hardware companies to watch every factory of their supply chain all the time. You're living in some kind of fantasy-land if you think this is in any way even remotely feasible, sorry.

Apple has much better score than other companies with issues like this, anyways. Why don't you focus on the others instead of talking about the one company that cares about this and fixes it asap?
Probably because lots of people here know there's a good reason not to delete it.
Or nothing at all. Rust has an uphill battle since 10 years which shows it's hard to replace C / another language. Might be Rusts borrow checker that prevents adoption, but I doubt it (though it's the reason I use Rust but don't love it).
Any abortion is not particularly safe. The mental scars alone and guilt should give more pause to be cautious with this procedure.

Seems to be the case with many resurrected franchises, Star Trek coming to mind.

As a kid in the 80s/early 90s, games and series like these caught my imagination. They were fun. Probably fun, interesting and inspiring in different ways to different people.

Agree if we listened to everyone's refined version, we'd end up with a different game for everyone. In the end it's only meant to be entertainment.
Depends on your goals. Cost isn't the be-all, i'd rather have three nuclear plants than a thousand square miles blotted out by panels, for instance.
Its too bad monero research lab seems to be slowing down and disbanding.

Devs have to eat and all, but I wonder sometimes if a longer and slower emission curve would have helped here. Monero is mostly emitted at this point.

For a project that means so much to the world and still has much work to do, its a shame how things turned out with MRL.

Those states voted for those laws. What interest does someone in California or New York have in trying to overturn the local will?

Abortion isn’t like civil rights, where southern states passed laws directed at a minority that had a unique historical position. States where voters choose to ban abortion have women the same as states who choose to allow abortion and those women agree with the bans. The majority of Black women in Mississippi think abortion should be illegal. Why should anyone in New York get a say?

I spent 6 years working with RDF Quad Stores on a user facing piece of software for the public and academic library market. RDF was an excellent fit, data model wise, for bibliographic data and SPARQL was nice to work with.

The only reason Safari has any marketshare, and any power at at all, is because Apple forbids competing browser engines on iOS. There are currently over a billion active iOS devices in use.

I randomly clicked on 15-20 YouTube videos of people outside of tech circles unboxing MacBooks and the first thing they do is install Chrome. All of them. People clearly like Chrome more than Safari and want the real version on iOS/iPadOS but Apple is being anti-competitive by blocking it.

There used to be this thing called AIR where you could build a game and...

oh never mind.

Turned out the big problem wasn't cross-platform compiling, it was dealing with Apple randomly telling you that your game was removed for some totally random reason and forcing you to upgrade it and submit it again every couple weeks.

Like, great, you compiled something for iOS. See how far that goes haha.
If you're able to exchange rupee for another currency, you can always mail the cash to them. I admittedly don't know how feasible or how difficult that is to do though.
I've used both. They're fairly similar (at least for my very basic needs), but Buttondown isn't owned by Intuit, which is a win in my book.
If you are using threads you wouldn't use nested callbacks in the first place.

In a proper threaded model you can use exactly the same syntax that you would use with async/await (futures, future combinators, message passing what have you) except you do not have to randomly annotate your code with awaits.

> I am even more frustrated with the moral crusaders from languages like Rust, one of whom went as far as to suggest that I should personally be criminally prosecuted if some downstream Hare software has a use-after-free bug.

That is likely just trolling, but is also specially obnoxious considering that Rust does prevent use-after-free bugs as much as Java does (i.e. a lot, but definitely not all).
I am entirely unqualified to understand any of the multiverse theories beyond the explanations offered by analogies in popular science writing.

But in short: No. I'm as hard a determinist as can be, to the point that I believe that any nondeterminism in quantum mechanics have deterministic explanations which are yet to be uncovered.

I am also entirely unqualified to understand quantum theory.
they cant see what you do on tor

you can still take flights, get mortgages, enter and leave the country after being on the imaginary or actual list, so why do so many people care?
I've always felt Rust completes more directly with something like C++. It's not nearly as expansive, but the mental space and use cases feel more C++-ish to me. Languages like Zig feels more like a replacement for C.
Also, this might work for a standalone product. But if the product integrates with other systems the client is already using, it becomes extremely difficult to ship something of which only certain parts work.

In this case, the client, usually and in my opinion, correctly, expects the product to fulfill all of the functionality planned for.
Node.js – v18.1.0
That's nonsense. There are somewhere between 2 and 8 million users of Tor every day. The vast majority of Tor users are ordinary people that want a little more privacy. What a waste of resources it would be to try to identify and track each of them.
It is fine to do something like:

return (

)

or for this case:

return [
item

You could do other things to prevent it from sticking out of the side of the monitor but if it is to say return true if this and that and that and that and that it would (to me) look better on separate lines.
Economics is an arena full of entrenched interests who exploit information asymmetry and regulatory capture to compete, at multiple scale factors. It is my strongly held opinion that rational analysis of "Economics" is not possible.

You've got the global scale, where nations compete, best described by Beau of the Fifth Column as a game of poker where everyone cheats to gain power.

You've got the corporate scale, where the boards of directors are political and overlap across most of the Fortune 500. Legally they are supposed to act in the Fiduciary interest of investors, but that is a polite fiction.

You've got the competing oligarchs, both foreign and domestic, engaged in their own egocentric excesses.

You've got the financial sector, which has distorted the price of money so hard that it effectively swallowed the economy, that the price signal is as effective as light trying to exit a black hole.

Not to mention the high frequency trading shenanigan's, where front running the market is accepted practice, bots with some huge bugs are given control over billions of dollars.

Oh, and the derivatives market, in which any corporation might have off the books obligations that exceed the annual sum of the world economy.

Economics is truly the dismal science.

PS: I fear I've been too optimistic in my outlook. ;-)
Ffs. This is s exactly their point. You're seven steps behind the game. The point is that if you don't ask the right questions, the 'ah ha' moment one would need to realize they will be defeated by using a standard testing technique because there is extra context that you, the General Practitioner are unaware of.

Then instead of sitting down and engaging a few brain cells on abstract thinking, you blame the poster for having Aspberger's because you can't make the topical leap.

This happens all the time in topics where one can actually be bothered to accrue significant knowledge, in my experience.
> Why do I have to request anything? And I'm not an academic or researcher, so will they accept my random request?

Just a guess: you will have to contractually agree to some things in order to get the model; at a minimum, agree not to redistribute it, but probably also agree not to use it commercially. That means whatever commercial advantage there is to having a model this size isn't affected by this offer, which makes it lower stakes for Facebook to offer. And then the point of "academics and researchers" is to be a proxy for "people we trust to keep their promise because they have a clear usecase for non-commercial access to the model and a reputation to protect." They can also sue after the fact, but they'd rather not have to.

Not saying any of this is good or bad, just an educated guess about why it works the way it does.
I think one thing that has helped Rust make the first serious advances towards C that we've seen in a long time is also the development tool chain. Getting started with Rust on any major platform, besides embedded development though that's coming along, is so much easier with Rustup and Cargo than the bizarre (to the uninitiated) work you have to do to setup and actually understand your development tool chain in C as well as C++.
Ah, my mistake, not used to reading multiple fractions used together.

No, you've missed the point. Don't you understand? The software cannot be trusted whatsoever unless you control the entire stack. So you haven't solved anything. Also, if you think a paragraph is long winded then I'm sure you have never listened to Stallman.

You can read it as you like.

It's the fine art of picking apart emails and internet comments for typos and grammar, rather than for meaning, and then nitpicking (referring to baawolf, not LightHugger).

I sometimes flip words when I type. I might have a completely wrong word, repeat something, omit a word, or otherwise. Others do that too. Part of that is typos, and part of that is rewriting as a type. I don't recall what I was thinking, but I suspect I started with "example," edited to "alternative," and didn't re-edit the whole post.

Others do similar things. Worse, plenty of people make errors on the internet. A few lessons I've learned:

- I stopped freaking out when Someone Is Wrong on the Internet. There's enough of that I don't need to correct all of it, and I don't think people doing that are performing much of a public service.

- I use throwaway accounts. Forums like this are more fun if I can talk naturally. I might have be aware of the fine distinctions between joint and half-ownership, but didn't spend hours proofreading a random internet comment, since that would take HN from a fine distraction to a chore. The internet is more fun if I e.g. don't need to be cancelled by the woke crowd over a typo. I think real names on Twitter are a horrible idea, since I'd never engage in any forum where I might be held publicly accountable for every mistake, braino, typo, and bad idea.

- Conversely, I look for smart things people say, insights, and good ideas. I simply ignore dumb ones. I read far-right, far-left, foreign propaganda, and other sources of questionable information. My experience is that there is a mixture of falsehoods and insights I wouldn't have come across elsewhere. I learn a lot. Plus, reading critically, I know what different groups are exposed to.

Oh -- and this is doubly true for WFH and emails. If you assume people always believe what they wrote (as opposed to omitting a "not" mid-sentence) -- you'll run into trouble.

That's an off-topic rant, but I hope it settles the question. I meant neither of those, and didn't edit that deeply.
The three businesses I knew that used CentOS, aren't anymore. They're looking for alternatives. They didn't pick CentOS because it was cutting edge. They wanted a stable environment that wouldn't change.
I guess that's another way to go about it. I don't know how git deals with reindenting, refactoring etc, and you might lose context, but you could probably find it again.

It's kinda nice having it right there in the code though.
I gotta say, I love Monero but every single time I see malware deploy a miner it is Monero for obvious reasons. More than any currency I want it to succeed because of true anonymity it provides but when you accept Monero, better beef up your anti-abuse capacity.
Schedule II allows for multiple prescriptions for up to a 90 day supply, but in practice this is 3 prescriptions each for 30 days, and attached to each prescription is a start date.

So you're allowed to have 90 days worth of prescription, but pharmacies aren't supposed to fill more than 30 days at a time. Ultimately this means 12 trips to the pharmacy a year, if you're lucky.

> [I]t’s silly to think that we are going to have trials and testimony and leave out eye witnesses. What's important about our trial system and juries-of-peers is that the average person feels the system is doing its best to find the truth so that it's not necessary to form vigilantes.

Have you considered that perhaps we’ve reached (or are approaching) the point where trials with eye witness testimony are undermining the trial system by making the average person feel the system isn’t doing it’s best to find the truth? If a method is hopelessly unreliable at finding the truth and people know it’s hopelessly unreliable at finding the truth and we continue to employ the hopelessly unreliable method as a means to find the truth it’s “silly” to think that the public would observe the process and conclude its “doing its best to find the truth”.

Ask HN: Which is your preferred language for ML deployment
At training time and experimentation, Python is king, but I've been searching for a while for the best programming language to use in production environments. The scope I'm thinking about is a microservice, maybe in a server maybe on the edge, with a pretty simple code (input conversion -> inference -> output conversion). Appreciated features: strict type system to avoid errors without too much testing, reasonable performance, ease of parallelization, and garbage collection (I find memory management overkill).

Some options I have in mind are go, rust, ocaml, haskell, erlang/elixir, and scala.

What is your experience in these cases?
It's a good argument.

Australia absolutely would have egregious chains of human failure and bad planning.
