I’ve never had that experience. Even when asking support for help with ~100/month in databases I got very quick and high quality help.

Worth noting is that the issue was on their end, and they had it resolved within half a day or so.
I just find that YAML doesn't improve anything over JSON.

Having recently migrated from cloudformation to terraform on a project the use of HCL is wonderful in comparison and when I'm all ready to commit I just type terraform fmt and everything is aligned properly. Considering it's just as trivial to do this in any JSON prettifier...I don't understand the need for yaml besides pure asthetics which is why you either love it or hate it, because it doesn't help or hurt it just annoys you or it doesn't.
You are reading his reasoning on face value. It is suggested that the reason is a ruse to back away from the original deal in that he either wants to renegotiate the price or walk away completely.
But since the 20% in TFA is a fraction that must necessarily include a denominator, the denominator in this post is wrong. Maybe by a large factor.
Did you read the article, or even these comments on the article? Nothing supports what you say at all. Of course it's easier just to shout about the billionaire man.
I'm glad you mentioned PiHole because it's exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about.

Dedicating a Raspberry Pi to running a DNS server is silly.

You could run it on your wifi router instead, or you could run it on the individual nodes. Either of those should be extremely easy. But practical general purpose computing has decayed (or was never really there?) so instead there's this silly PiHole thing where you just buy yet another computer and convert it into yet another special-purpose appliance because general purpose computing is so hard.
Of course, it's P2P with cryptographic incentives for running nodes. That's the entire point.
Many species are more social and cooperative that people think.

I wonder if seeing nature as more ferocious, competitive and individualistic that it really is comes from psychological projection.
I'm not in any way saying your conclusions are incorrect.

But our description ("...one skin of thin brick work, insulation (foam), breeze block, more insulation, steel/aluminium frame with insulation, covered in plasterboard (the final interior wall.") matches pretty perfectly building standards in my town, yet the result here is that the insulation helps quite well against the summer heat. We have triple-pane windows, do you, maybe that is it?
Thanks for your feedback. It is just the home page which is moderated before indexing (and reviewed annually). When https://personalsit.es/ was listed it looked legitimate, but agreed the results for that site look infected with spam now. I've found at least one other site today where the home page and blog look genuinely legitimate, but which has a complete spam subdomain, quite possibly the victim of a subdomain takeover attack by spammers. I've delisted both. Unfortunately it isn't an easy task trying to defeat a vast army of well funded spammers in your spare time!
You can still buy Soviet Union TLDs (.su). Does this mean .su owners will lose their domains in 5-10 years? Seems like there should be some kind of grandfathering clause.

Blah. Right now at work I'm using YAML with HAML ruby files and its... Not great. Really difficult to search for in our code base. Its hard to tell what is routing where due to helper methods often pointing to certain YAML files based on certain conditions.

I don't have a better solution but it just feels needlessly complex for text.

He is likely worried that Ukraine's fierce resistance to the genocide of her people will cause him mild inconveniences. Of course, admitting that would make him look bad so he tries to warp it into some sort of moral principle. I've seen it an awfully lot recently and I think it is pathetic.
Hmm? Generating static pages avoids database calls to construct pages. You do it once when you publish/edit a post. Then every reader never makes a database call again.
This seems intentional to me. Musk has been claiming there's a bot/troll problem on social media for quite some time. I think he knew this going in.
Perhaps it's niche, but there's a single feature that makes me use zsh over bash: EXTENDED_GLOB, used together with * filename expansion.

ls **/*.d

gives me all files, recursively, that end in .d. That's available in bash too if you `shopt -s starglob`.

But it also gives all directories, so if I do eg

grep pattern **/*.d

then I get lots of error messages about trying to grep on directories (if I happen to have directories ending in .d). With zsh, I can do

grep pattern **/*.d(.)

and it will restrict to just files. I use this pretty often, and it saves me from many `find | xargs` commands. I pretty much only use `find` when there are too many matches for a single command.

My muscle memory types

fgrep -l SOMESTRING **/*(.)

multiple times per day. That'll list out all files containing the literal SOMESTRING anywhere in or below my current directory. I'm sure I could be using one of the fancy grep replacements, and I have in the past, but this works Good Enough and only requires zsh to be installed, so it's what I have held onto.

That's exactly where Dex might improve over Julia, with language level control over mutability and effect handlers and array access safety ... time will tell.

So packages just use those features

Maybe it will hit the right trade off, or maybe Julia will adopt similar language level tools, but adjusted for dynamic semantics. Is that even possible?
My account was active until recently (deleted when Twitter accepted Musk's offer, I don't need to be a participant in a right wing cesspool). I have 0 tweets. I don't like things, because I don't want my name attached to someone else.

Yes, gold has the same problems. A tiny amount of it is used for manufacturing, the rest for hoarding. We don't even use it as a currency of exchange anymore, so I honestly have no idea why its price remains stubbornly high. Old religions die slowly, I guess.

But one can say that 20% of the content on the platform was distributed by bots.
Meaning that all the Lurkers have to consider if they are really interested in content, that was pushed by some bot-farms.
Technically, every user of this platform has to take a step back and evaluate, if anything they have seen is not pushed content by some bots.

20% is huge and I am curios if there will ever be some comparable "official" numbers to that.
I think it's instructive to note the difference between 'fake' accounts and 'spam'/'bot' accounts.

'Fake' accounts exist to fraudulently increase follower count. This is what the study is claiming to measure. These typically have low activity and engagement profiles.

'Spam' or 'bot' accounts, on the other hand, generally have high activity. Whether trying to influence political opinions, or engaging in astroturfing or phishing activities. They probably have very, very high ratios of replies to original tweets, and overall tweets to # followers.

> That seems like a huge bias - lurkers exist

I created an account 5 years ago, followed one or two people, got bored and never logged in again.

Presumably their intention is to exclude abandoned accounts, like mine - is there any way they, viewing Twitter externally, could tell lurker accounts like yours and abandoned accounts like mine apart?

> South korea is a vassal. A vassal of the US. It has american troops occupying it. North korea is opposite of what south korea is. They have no foreign troop occupying it.

That's one of your many misunderstandings. The presence of troops does not imply an occupation. If you mistakenly think it does, then (among other things) you'll be unable to perceive alliances.
I've been following the situation and it's absolutely wild.

It all stems from their Zero covid policy, they are the only country still perusing it, to the absolute detriment and destruction of everything else it seems. With how fast Omicron spreads, zero-covid is simply untenable these days but China is trying...

The basic report is that people are starving. The government has provided food but the food situation is almost crazier than the lockdown, group buys, crackdowns, the whole works. The most recent reports I've read is that the govt is cracking down on any "non-government" assistance, so if you are caught trying to acquire food outside of the government system, the police throw it all out (couldn't find news reports about this but there is plenty on TikTok).

There are tons of other angles, if the government finds out one person in your complex has tested positive, everyone gets taken away to a "recovery center". Lots of videos of people absolutely loosing it, there was reports of a bunch of suicides at a local university, shit just gets crazier the more you read about it[1].

It's an entirely baffling situation, because zero-covid just isn't coming, it's now how this virus works anymore. Some outlets have tossed around the idea that another revolution will occur over this, and while that would be extreme, looking at the situation, I wouldn't rule it out.

Notice how you're ad homenim-ing the structure of the argument and not the argument itself? I do not at all see how putting quotes around that word invalidates the argument. I did so because mathematical literature doesn't refer to it as an index (rather as a degree as you mentioned), but it very much does index each monomial. There are an infinite number of index sets for each polynomial -- just as i can index the i'th monomial, so can (i - 7), or (i - 239842), or (i - pi) -- but one of them is obviously the most natural (pun intended).
If all of those 70 million got COVID, in how many cases would it likely be fatal?
And nothing of value was lost!
Some aggregators include archive links automatically; maybe an aggregator should mirror/pin content on an IPFS node, and users can help host front page content?
Interesting. Looks like more than half price. Are their interface / setup as easy as DO droplets? What's the catch? Are DO just expensive because they are market leaders?
PipeWire supersedes Pulseaudio. End of discussion. This position is like arguing that Windows 11 isn't the future because most people are still on Windows 10; it's most definitely wrong and relies on circumstance.

You really want to get pedantic? "Linux" isn't Ubuntu, nor is it Fedora nor Arch nor Debian or any of those distros. Linux is a kernel, and it supports several audio backends (or none at all). If we're comparing with Darwin/NT, neither of them "just work" with audio since none of them ship with it. If we're comparing OSes, then we're talking about Monterey vs Windows 11 vs Linux With The Latest Tech. Not Windows 10 just because more people use it. Not Monterey just because it was better.

That's a disadvantage for Linux in most respects since the new "solutions" for desktop Linux are pretty awful (Wayland, Flatpak, GTK4/Libadwaita, etc). Let it be known that desktop audio is not one of those issues anymore, though.
The opposite is also true, it misses a lot of real bots.

The issue is that there is no way to verify if OOB access is possible given an abstract type, unless you know how that type behaves, i.e. how it's indexed.

And Julia provides no way of specifying the behaviour of abstract types.
I think it's overcharging customers to see how much they can get away with, like netflix. Jump on the "iTs inFlAtIoN" bandwagon and see how much profit you can squeeze out and see how well you can handle customer attrition while doing it. If it goes bad just say "oh looks like inflation is lightening up a bit now". I call it the Netflix Gambit (circa 2022)
Web3 has always been an attempt to rebrand blockchain stuff, and make it appear like the next step in internet technology. Some other technologies (like IPFS) have been added to the Web3 umbrella, but blockchain an cryptocurrency has always been the core of "Web3".

It's disingenious to only state the support percentage for polls that also have a significant amount of "don't know / don't care / undecided" answers. And the polls I've seen all had a pretty large amount of responses that were not directly opposed to joining NATO.

The most recent poll I've seen for Finland also has an even higher percentage of support for joining NATO now than your poll.
How we write here on HN is important. Write once with overgeneralizations, and then N >> 1 (many more than one person) have to read that sloppy thinking. It is lazy writing/thinking and, in effect, disrespects our collective experience.
> If you recap a big VC out you're probably never going to raise again.

Is this even possible? With how savvy most VCs are about guarantying a return from the companies they invest in, it's hard to imagine they'd leave this very obvious strategy open to exploitation.

I mean, yeah, you might never raise another round if you screw a VC, but if you screw them out of hundreds of millions of dollars, would it matter?

"To read diagonally" is a Russian idiom meaning "to skim-read".
Good luck, spectrum is highly regulated in every country I can think of. If national governments don’t want you networking across borders, you’re definitely not going to be broadcasting long range radio transmissions that way. In fact, it’s currently illegal to transmit encrypted data or to relay packets via ham radio in the US.
If packages use generic indexing functions like eachindex, there would be no correctness issue with that specific example

They could maybe use like activity in addition to just tweets? Inherently though this system is going to be less accurate than the dataset that Twitter has access to. If a large chunk of users only engage in Twitter through DMs then an external organization isn’t going to have insight into that.

Only a relatively wealthy population can afford fast food. The "convenience" of fast food is something that poor people (actually poor, not Western poverty) can't afford.

In Russian "to read diagonally" means "to skim" in English. Like, you don't read left to right, top to bottom, but straight from one corner to the other.
their TL;DAbstract refers to this as a 'conservative' methodology, that is 'rigorous', and 'likely undercounts.

Their definition:

> “Spam or Fake Twitter accounts are those that do not regularly have a human being personally composing the content of their tweets, consuming the activity on their timeline, or engaging in the Twitter ecosystem.”

They note the following to differentiate fake and spam:
> Many “fake” accounts under this definition are neither nefarious nor problematic. ... By contrast, most “spam” accounts are an unwanted nuisance.

Some general data analytics notes from their post:

* Then lump together fake and spam in their analysis - and this really matters! somewhere like NYT is both 'fake' meaning it isn't a real person and A HIGHLY VALUABLE ACCOUNT for twitter to have.

* They use a sample of 44,058 accounts (of ~1.047B)

* They look at a number of classifying variables (17), spam accounts met 10+ of those 17 criteria. They don't list all 17.

* The criteria were developed from a "machine learning process" that is undescribed, and was developed from a sample of 35,000 'known' fake twitter followers bought from 3 vendors and 50,000 claimed non-spam accounts. They appear (imply?) to have used 50% training 50% real data but dont't specify explicitly.

* They say their model is about 65% accurate, and unlikely to produce false positives ("almost never includes false positives") - however they don't list any specificity, sensitivity, etc. that would be useful to evaluating that claim.

* The analysis does no statistical tests, no confidence intervals, minimal information about how the model was tested or validated.

* Critically: they note, but do not describe or quantify, that a lot of the criteria are highly correlated

* then later in the article they suddenly seem to switch to a 10 point scale for quality away from their 17 point scale? with a threshold of 3 or below as low quality?

* My personal twitter account meets most of the metrics where they have listed a quantifiable threshold. And their fake followers tool lists it as pretty f'ing suspicious - i.e., low quality.

I'm not saying there wrong but I am saying good luck getting this from a blog post to any sort of respectable science publication. As they note at the end, they aren't even calculating the same metric - twitter uses monetizable daily active users - remember NYtimes? Absolutely a monetizable account - even if it isn't a real person.

anyone who thinks this is proof of Elon's 4D chess based on this article is, to me, frankly delusional.
There is a moral/reputational side to this too.
I'm just an armchair physicist, but I thought we had already established that in quantum mechanics conservation laws only hold on average and not on a per run basis.

In https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24762436, @HackOfAllTrades notes that angular momentum is not preserved on a per run basis.

In a Mermin Device a pair of entangled spin particles is set to two Stern-Gerlach experiments. The two particles has net (spin) angular momentum of 0 because that's was the net angular momentum of starting material. But if you measure the angular momentum of the two particles in two non-parallel directions, and if we also require that the only answers you are allowed to get are +hbar/2 or -hbar/2, then the sum of the angular momentum you get by adding +/-hbar/2 times one direction plus +/-hbar/2 times a different direction can never be 0.
