Last week I ported my static physical book building tooling from rst-based [0] to markdown (pandoc filter) based.

I've used my rst tooling to publish many books (like Effective Pandas) and am wanting to drop rst in an effort to simplify my life. My pandoc toolchain is not in github yet, but preliminary exploration validates that I can publish my next physical book with it (with things like front matter, indices, etc).

In the process I messed around with MyST and mistletoe. I dropped MyST because it was evident I would need to mess around with Sphinx again. Been there done that. Too much abstraction.

Mistletoe would have worked too (I need to create custom fences/markup for a few features) but I wanted to see if I could do it with Pandoc.

The Pandoc distinction between Blocks and Inlines is annoying as is the requirement to handle everything at once. With Pandoc, you only get notified at the start of an element, not the end which probably complicates it a bit more than Mistletoe would have.

(I still need to port my slide generation tooling and will probably use mistletoe for that. For epub generation I think I will stick with Pandoc.)

Why do we need both? It's not like my house rep gives a shit about what I think even though I'm in his party. Having "your" rep seems incredibly overvalued.
> People should have the right to choose their own "threat model". Google has a threat model. A computer user may have a threat model. It is absurd to assume they will always be the same. The interests of Google may conflict with the interests of the computer owner.

I think that you are correct.

However, there is also such things as dynamic IP addresses, which might also have to be considered if you want to store DNS data entirely locally.
> My point here is more: if you plan on using the data, it becomes more and more expensive as your access patterns change.

I don't think this is true either. Google does not need to keep much of its data in hot storage to use it effectively: their ML products can be periodically trained / updated, their search can be iteratively updated with each crawl, etc. Sure, it would be expensive to keep all user data from all sources in hot storage all the time - but it's not needed. The idea that you...would happen upon some new question you hadn't though of before and need to get the answer immediately is just false. Instead, you make regular updates to a model and periodically run your corpus through that model.
Your comment will probably age well with time.

I'll add that in this "information economy", we have few (if any) easy-to-learn-and-apply frameworks, analogous to notions of food groups, good vs bad fats, etc.

Thus, not only are we drowning in information (especially as knowledge workers), we're also extremely prone to navigating it in ways detrimental to our (mental) health.
Nonsense. Misleading people is hardly ever the right or long term beneficial approach. If the candidate is insufficiently experienced, skilled or prepared then it's not wrong to let them know (they might actually appreciate to learn why they don't get the job). This doesn't have to be done in an impolite way though.
Isnt that why Windows is called Windows because its a window on their user's life?
And just like that my next gpu will probably be NVIDIA. AMD's recent prices have made nvidia look like a better option and the only thing holding me back was amd's amazing open source drivers and the options that came with. If nvidia's drivers become comparable or are well on their way then they would be the obvious choice in today's market.
I don’t see why the makers of an app aren’t entitled to seeing how the app is used for the people who opt to use it. If I’m using windows terminal, I want them to know how often I use the hot keys, how often I split a terminal vertically then horizontally (alt-shift-d), etc. lest it be removed, since I know they don’t have infinite resources to dedicate to this single project to maintain every feature forever and ever.
Disagree all you like. The rust port apparently didn't hear you, because the line count grew by nearly 50%, and I can post other similar comparisons with some other codebases and languages too.

I will hazard a guess that most inflammation is not severe but our tolerance for it has diminished due, in part, to the prevalence of anti-inflammatory drugs.

Crypto advocates want unregulated, anonymous transactions, right? So even if this happened, it's one of the intended and acceptable situations that crypto is supposed to enable.

It's amusing that people who opt out of a regulated environment think that large institutions can't/won't take over the markets and screw over individuals.

That doesn't mean anything. A native app doesn't mean anything. Native is a ad-hoc property of being the UX framework shipped by default on the OS
On chromium OS, chrome is native. Who cares?
What matters are the merits of framework x vs framework y.

Making non-quantum computer components faster is already a problem that involves quantum physics; quantum computers are faster at specific algorithms, therefore it only really makes sense to use them for the things they are faster for.
It's more of an adventure with a GPU than a CPU but you can add an aio after market with eg https://nzxt.com/product/kraken-g12

Then you're not paying the Kingpin markup if you're not planning to x-oc it. I did that on a Titan X (Pascal) which was still using a blower design and it worked fantastically.
538 is claiming that dems are fighting back in the gerrymandering war this election more than they have in the past. Not that they gerrymander more than republicans, just that they are gerrymandering more than they did in the past. I don't see how anyone could expect any other outcome once gerrymandering begins and is seen as acceptable.

> Is there any reason to think breakthroughs like this and similar could one day lead to quantum computers being applied to general computation?

None whatsoever.

After learning a bit about them, I think of quantum computers as being a bit like GPUs: in theory you can do anything with them, but in practice, getting things done with them is hard enough that it’s best to use them for what they’re best for. You can certainly run classical algorithms on a quantum computer, but they probably wouldn’t perform any better than the equivalent on a classical computer; the only real advantage of quantum computers is that they let you run quantum algorithms to give you an exponential speedup on certain problems.

People will always go around rules. The point of rules is to send a clear signal that something is bad or socially unacceptable. In this case it's signaling to the parents that it's desirable that they enforce this rule.

Quantum computations (the computer science concept) is not needed for operations where the classical algorithms are already efficient.

Quantum computer technology used to perform classical computations - almost certainly there will be some engineering considerations where this will make sense.
Schools being way behind the curve in terms of languages and frameworks is definitely not new, though I'm not a recent grad.

Some quick googling turned up that an outdated web dev class is in at least one top tier school too: https://gt-student-wiki.org/mediawiki/index.php/CS_2803_DWD the syllabus here includes jQuery and PHP both, neither of which are high on many people's "new 2022 project choices" list - "This topic list is accurate as of Spring 2022's CS 2803 DWD course, taught by Ronnie Howard."

This is not something I'd expect a school of any sort to be great at since it's very fast-moving and it's hard to have really great expertise without working on big projects that you won't necessarily have in an academic context.

In short, Minnesota wants to prevent large social-media companies from individually targeting under-18's with prioritized user-generated content?

The title makes it sound more general, e.g. like under-18's couldn't use social-media at all. But instead, it sounds like they don't want under-18's having user-generated content individually targeted at them, or something like that.

I'd guess that the concern would be echo-chamber effects? This is, if users get targeted with content algorithmically selected just for them, then it may tend to silo users' perceptions. And that might be especially concerning for less-experienced users, who may not realize it's happening or see stuff outside of that bubble.
Remnants is a lot of fun.

Of course, like frogcomposband, I find it a lot more fun when I figure out how to attach a debugger and the source code and hack the underlying values...

Size 1000 homeworld that is both Ultra Rich and Artifacts?

Remnants is such an impressive work of love though. The artwork in ROTP alone is worth the download.

Strangely, as a java programmer I've done far more custom code modifications to the frogcomposband (C code) fork. It is a guilty pleasure with open source games hacking their code to do fun things. Also strangely, it was easier to compile frogcomposband than RotP.
CentOS 8 is already dead, thanks to their latest changes.

Red Hat gets paid for RHEL 8, they can pay someone to port stuff to Python 2 for their customers if they want it, but I believe the default python there is 3.6, with just an option to install 2.7 if you want it.
Serious businesses don't go after the "free" concept, but prefer to pay thousands of dollars using CMS that well-known and experienced companies design and implement.

What's immoral is that I'm forced to be governed under an unfair agreement that I had no say in accepting. Giving some people more votes because they live in a different state is absolutely immoral, agreements change.
A few folks recommended Quarto to me when I asked about current recommendations recently. My main goal is physical books and that doesn't seem to be a first class citizen anywhere. Looking through Quarto, I can't find reference to markdown syntax for index entries (which indicates that they don't support it.)

Also, I'm heavily biased, but based on my experience I will need to hack whatever tool and I'm not really interested in hacking JS/TS. (My whole reason for getting rid of my rst based tooling is to simplify and sticking in Python simplifies my life, coding in JS/TS not so much.)
I don't know of any methods to generically improve memory, but repetition and/or writing have always helped me. Repetition is what it sounds like: say or think what you're trying to memorize to yourself many times. Writing (NOT typing, but actual handwriting!) and taking notes also help, and can be used in conjunction with repetition.

The most effective unintentional method of memorization is to be profoundly embarrassed or frightened by forgetting or not knowing something - it will stick with you forever. I don't know of any way to systematize that though.
Web3.0 Training Program
Can anyone recommend the best web 3.0 training program; either online or in the NYC area?
If you are waiting for good recomendations then you might be consuming too much online content and therefore running on empty. Most of the good content is hard to classify and they have a strong incentive to show you only ad friendly content.

I am most impressed that the grappling techniques are almost all legitimate and taught today. I tapped people out with two of those techniques (cross collar choke and arm bar) in the last week as a BJJ practitioner. Same with the throws. The scissor takedown is also known as Kani Basami and is stupid dangerous for the person being taken down. Can easily tear knee ligaments and most gyms do not permit its use in most circumstances. It is effective, though.
The root of the issue is that the US doesn't separate elected lawmakers from district distribution. The fact[0] elected officials can redraw their own electoral map is just beyond belief, in a tough competition with Citizen's United for the worst political bug (well... feature) in the US. Cherry on top is calling/dubbing one such major and catastrophic instance of gerrymandering "REDMAP". So brazenly rubbing it in while openly chipping at US democracy.

As long as that holds true, theoretical solutions don't really matter when those using them will pry any model into their favor. Not that a mathematical solution even makes sense for a district map that accounts of cultural ties for local representation (short of going for proportional elections, which I think is desirable with some form of local representation).

In Canada, and I presume most countries of the G7, it's an independent entity[1], which one would think goes without saying. That's not incorruptible of course, but I wager it's held it's own for over 60 years here, modern district maps are quite reasonable.

Are there any noteworthy Civ1 and Civ2 remakes (other than FreeCiv)? I know about https://github.com/SWY1985/CivOne, which was supposed to recreated Civ1 in C#, but they stopped development before implementing the AI, which is always tricky to faithfully replicate without some solid/time-consuming disassembly of civ.exe.

Those are two games that AFAIK haven't been re-released through the normal Steam/GoG channels. Seems like only Civ3+ are available, not sure why.
> Yeah I don't know most of the TSA was just doing their job the best they could. [...] The basic nature of aviation is it's closely tied to suicide. It's like interwoven with suicide.

I would swap "suicide" for "risk". And while I do concede that traveling on an airplane is inherently risky (and argueably one of our most remarkable achievements as a species), I think it's dangerous to deny that TSA - or any other security enforcement body for that matter - is not susceptible to power abuse by their representatives; we have years of evidence to prove it, especially nowadays with social media. Too much blank-cheque power is given them, with little accountability (again, on account of the risk). (Incidentally, airport security is a nice topic to play with error rates conceptually, e.g. precision, recall, etc.)

> It's really goddamn dangerous to fly, you're relying on so many parts to work right

Indeed, the latest systemic failure coming directly from the making and selling of planes. An activity where once safety was held as a sacrosant goal, it's now been placed second to profits and corporate interests (see Boeing).
I'm not really a fan of keeping the dongle attached to my headphones since all of my other devices have actual jacks. This probably works well if none of your devices have jacks (and they all have usb-c), though.
> Lead to good ideas being debated openly by people

Do you have examples of any ideas at all being debated openly by 5000 people?
Good analogy.

Of course, the general public talks about "a gene for intelligence," which is about the level of insight we can count on if we demystify code.
But the OP's sentiment still stands. Repetitional damage, stress, potential job loss, etc. just because you wanted to take a picture of your daughter or son in the bathtub playing with a rubber duck to send to your grandparents.

I mean my parents still have those pictures in photo albums and they have been shown multiple times to family friends or relatives - nobody has obvs objected - but there is nobody from a 3rd party with 0 context watching over their heads deciding if this is child porn or not. (Plus I think I look adorable with my duck shampoo and recently found it in the basement when doing cleanup <3). And I very much like those pictures as they are interesting moments of my life that I don't have memories of but are ME.

But to extend this - maybe my neighbours think that is super wrong, maybe my employer. In it's current form the regulation allows for a lot of private data spillage to other ppl.

Even if it's just - yes wrong flag by the alog -> someone gets to see me or my children naked - wtf I'd argue that's abuse.
Funny you say that. I spent most of last week porting some of my rst based book authoring tooling to md/pandoc.
It's a spectrum. I don't think that cache coherency was useable by developers/compilers. The two only ways I know (HMM and HSA) are niche, used by nobody.
GPGPU compute would GREATLY benefit from programs that can share memory between cpu and gou without having to do needless high latency round-trips and copies.
So they failed in practice.
They never did a CPU addressable HBM interposer (despite having invented HBM) unlike what I believe is the M1.
Oh, that's backwards from what I thought the situation was. Thanks!

Apparently such information has to be released in a way that all the public, generally, can see it at once and twitter with it's faked high user numbers and famous people fulfills this. Releasing it on a small local poster board would be illegal because it is limited, where twitter is legal because everyone theoretically has access to twitter.
I think a .7% deviation over 2 years is stable. So far it's doing its job, especially compared to 30% decline for most coins over the past 24-72 hours.
The programming-as-a-trade niche is filled by bootcamps. There are longer term bootcamps, if you think three months is too short. Bad signaling/reputation is the main negative about bootcamps and why many people prefer to go to a university.
If you're just a normal tech worker then they're not very important. Sure you may lose out on the absolute best outcome, but 80% of the 1/2 million that top-end tech workers get nowadays isn't bad.

The skills you're looking for aren't really political or Machiavellian. It's not scheming to stand up for oneself. As other posters said you ought not to put social skills in the same bucket as Machiavellian traits.

Now as for others, if you're trying to be in business like many on HN do, then you absolutely need to be politically savvy as the business world is filled with MBA sharks and hustlers. It's not all evil and knives in your back, but a certain level of shall we say hyperawareness of social jostling is necessary to get ahead. Business is basically politics, but your reward is just more money and not power over life and death.

Why pay employees to fix bugs when some random can fix it for free? It makes perfect corporate business sense. (Not saying its a good thing, but it does make sense from a business POV)
Oh, long after the system I worked on was replaced. Back in 1997-1999 the images were filenames in a database record, and we just read the image file and printed it on the card. Then at a later stage a camera looked at the printed card and compared it to what it should look like. We also used to 'etch' the same photograph into the 'laser' (CD-like) golden strip on the back of the card. When you wrote data to the laser strip, it changed the appearance by darkening it. There was an API library supplied by the manufacturer of the encoder drives that could write a visible image to the strip. Not sure if the modern cards still have that feature.
