There is also the matter of what stage of your journey you are in.

People pass through many different interests on their journey and often become bored with areas they have already passed through. For you and me, we could help a child with their algebra homework but it would not be something we would be passionate about. The child, on the other hand, might find algebra fascinating and want to talk more about it.

It is very rare for two people who are in the exact same spot in life to collide. It happens rarely in university, even where those people are concentrated heavily.

The same story is true with personal hobbies and interests.
> I still cannot understand what the US strategists think when they're throwing the Russians

US and NATO and the West gave Russia all the opportunity it needed to integrate and they refused.

Also the resources don’t matter much. Ok so China buys them cheaply from Russia, and then the US buys them cheaply from other producers, and China keeps making products. What’s the issue?
Note that the article targets people writing generic code, not consuming it. So it's not really about what you want to sort. It's about what (and how) you want to support with your sorting algorithm.

As for that use-case: Go generics currently don't have a way to constrain on struct fields. So that will always have to be done with some sort of custom comparison function written by the user of your code, which returns the appropriate field.
You are probably right. I still feel a lot of the original vision and promise of the project has been lost in this translation.

Ghost origins were a promise of better blogging (it criticised WordPress for becoming a CMS and then it became a CMS itself).

I am aware that it is highly ambiguous, that is why I chose it. People who believe whatever they want are more of a problem than people who believe whatever. People who believe whatever they want can be manipulated by people who know what they want.

> “Humans are no longer seen as at the pinnacle of creation,” Catherine Wilson, a philosophy fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Berlin, told me. “There’s a greater modesty and awareness in which we are just one species — and maybe not even the most important species.”

Now there's a loaded, unqualified, and treacherous statement. Especially when the article started off euthanizing "lesser species" for scientific research.

EDIT:

There you have it. I hadn't finished the article when I started this comment, but... Now I'm glad I did.

People who degrade the value of human life so easily will end up committing atrocities. And I suspect the author will find himself quite shocked when he is "elbowed out" of the decision making process, and relegated to a diet of crickets or subjected to some experiment... Little to lose, indeed.
Very nice project!

> Also what I don't like that enabling this feature disables page zoom. This is inconvenient because you have to choose between using zoom and fingerprint protection.

I don't think it does disable page zoom; I have privacy.resistFingerprinting set to true and can still zoom just fine. (It does disable per-site zoom settings, but you can still zoom any site to whatever size you want each time you visit—which is certainly inconvenient, but, well, the state of the web is such that you can choose convenience or privacy; Firefox giving you that choice does not mean that the necessity of choosing is their fault.)
The entire C++ STL is a huge footgun for this very reason. None of the algorithms work on floats unless you guarantee the absence of NaN (which the STL assumes without being terribly vocal about it).
Just look at any template heavy c++ library.
That is the nice thing about government. They can enforce things.

So even if you don't want RMB if the government pays you with RMB then you take it. That means that banks, contractors, employees etc all get RMB.

Government can also force trade parties to trade with its own currency, like Russia does today.
Buy something expensable (tech equipment often is, or even just drinks) and then photo the receipt, and return and buy the blanket.

But that's technically fraud, heh.
I know. But the trade off is that government is very well resourced. Applying those resources can be painful and slow, but once you get them in gear you can attack problems nobody else can touch.
"They discovered that the Ethereum wallet used to transfer tokens during the attack was connected to another wallet used to collect winnings in a recent hacking contest by a participant who sometimes identified himself as UmbralUpsilon.

Opsec really isn't that difficult, you just have to give it some thought.

I believe we are all at the forefront of programming. Our field as a science is less than a hundred years old. To speak of the Medieval Ages would be too kind; Rather, we are still groping around as cavemen, still discovering which berries are sweet and which are poisonous. Frankly, all programmers are flipping morons at this point. In terms of what we know now as a consensus, and what is yet to be learnt, we know less than 1% of what it means to program effectively. Whether you're a high frequency trading performance tuner with multiple collegiate degrees, or perhaps a script kiddy fresh from your first few lines of LEGO coding, the difference between these points of competence, when inevitably measured against the sea of knowledge to come as our field matures in another century, pales to insignificance. Everybody's still skinning cats, in a billion Rubegoldbergesque different ways.
Correct. The fund also isn't going to be returned for 5-10 years, so even if you are making great investments that will have huge returns in 10 years, if you have a bunch of annoyed LPs now, you may still essentially get knocked out of the industry.

AFAICT this is the now-recommended way to use Airflow: as a k8s task orchestrator. Even the Astronomer team (original Airflow authors) will tell you to do it this way.
What's your point? Smaller companies have a better chance of success? Why would that be?
In the past this is why things like per diems came into being - the paperwork tracking it was more expensive than just letting everyone have their $50 and who cares if some brought a sandwich from home and pocketed it.

A wise company would make sure any consulting contract had a fixed $500 or whatever for "incidentals" - and if they weren't needed and the consultant pocked it, who cares?

Did she say the reasoning was wrong, or merely that it wasn't ideal? As far as I know, she took umbrage with Roe v Wade being physician focused rather than woman focused. In other words, that the provides for a physicians right to perform abortions more than it does a woman's right to receive abortions.
> You may not think hardware support matters, but which is more likely: somebody breaking your private key remotely using a side-channel attack, or a trojan exfiltrating a key?

As a cryptography engineer, this is a good reason to urge Apple, et al. to support Ed25519, not to prioritize P-256.

(Of course, by all means, prioritize P-256 until we can succeed at getting these companies to correct their course on Ed25519 support. But long term? We want Ed25519 to become ubiquitous.)
> This is unlike, say, any major US campaign of the past 30 years

This seems exactly like both Iraq wars, except that Sadam's troops might have had working encrypted radios.

In the first war, massively undergunned (in terms of number of rounds of ammunition) US tanks would enter a battle, and 66% of them would immediately get stuck in a boot loop, or otherwise break down.

The remaining ones would rapidly fire a dozen rounds or so a few miles in a dozen different directions, anihilating enemy equipment well before it had any hope of striking back.

Then, logistics people would go out and fix the stranded tanks.

It's pretty obvious that the targeting systems and supply lines were what held everything together during those campaigns.

Ukraine has been dominating in those two dimensions as well (using US equipment and intelligence, in many cases).
More and more, it sounds that way. At one of three 4A public high schools in a mid-size town in South Carolina no less.
This argument works both ways: Believing that the FRC is a hate group just because the SPLC says so is like believing the Union is a hate group just because the Confederacy says so.

As far as I can tell what he did is more or less common business in high speed currency trading (and part of the reason the EU originally planed to ban it, until lobby corruption happened).

If your trading bot (here the "algorithm of the index") messes up you are deep in problems because other bots and people will find it and will use it to their advantage.
My wife and I have talked about building something incrementally recently. Looking at what we could afford, we can't purchase an actual house, but we could get some land for a reasonable price. So, we were thinking of getting an airstream, buying some land, and then building a set of smaller buildings like this around the property as we got the funds. However, there can be lot of pushback on this from what I read.
The DNC and their election proxies had the same access to the open graph v1.0 data that cambridge analytica had.

In 2012 the media even bragged about how Obama was using big data with facebook to deepen their reach with voters during an election cycle.

But cambridge analytica helped the wrong political candidate get democratically elected (Trump) and so the result is this selective prosecution.

My guess is that this act of suing is performative theatre, but will be used as leverage to usher in social media regulation.
> We really need a recession/crash to reset the housing market,

If this happens, then the people who currently can't afford housing will be turbofucked, while the people with the expensive housing will be, at worse, just fine, or at best, will profit greatly from it.

The GFC was not that long ago. And it minted so many millionaires that everyone is keeping an eye out for prices to drop because they want to replicate that same success. Lightning will not strike like that again because everyone is standing around that spot with metal rods held high in the air. There's no end of people waiting for "the next housing crash" to buy.

If you want cheaper housing, then you want more housing to be built. And you want the housing to be high density. Which means you're going to stepping on a lot of innocent people, and enriching a lot bad people to get them built. We're probably talking about using eminent domain to seize single family homes, and handing the land over to some developers (at a discount) to raze them and build large condos in their place. Because, fact is, nobody wants to give up their single family home that's been appreciating at double digit rates for the past 20 years with no end in sight. You're going to have to pry it from them.
I believe that the stipulation of no part-time PhD is dependent on training grant requirements. I couldn't have a second job during graduate school and it would cause big problems for the department, and by extension, me, if I was found to have a second job. It might work differently in other fields, but this is at least my experience in a hospital-affiliated biology department.
Let me rephrase: if the above argument were valid, then wouldn't it have to be the case that anything that can be done in private would have to be legal?
Yeah I'm seeing tons of "free money is over" articles lately but it feels like only a small percent of SF residents had that experinece in the first place. I doubt more than a tiny fraction of HN readers will be affected by this new development at all.
>The overall attack surface of fingerprinting is so huge that even if some fantasy world in which all of WebGL, Canvas, Web Audio, WebRTC, etc., could be permanently removed, you're still fingerprintable.

I guess that's true in the abstract, but the more fingerprinting vectors there are, the easier it is to identify a specific person. The best case scenario is something like the iPhone, where each model behaves identically and there are limited amount of user-configurable settings, such that there are tens of thousands of people in your city alone that have the same model/settings (eg. timezone/dark mode on/off). You can do all the fingerprinting you want, but for a medium traffic site you're probably still going to get hundreds/thousands of users with the same fingerprint.

>The time of day you visit specific sites is enough to eventually fingerprint you.

How does this even work? If I'm on a VPN (ie. shared IP with hundreds of other users) and have total cookie protection (separate cookie jars for each site), it's effectively impossible to tell whether I'm one user visiting a dozen sites, or a dozen users viewing one site each.
The thing I want to see, above all else (and it is coming, but slowly and without any kind of apparent over-arching strategy - which it badly needs) is designer / developer control.

Gutenberg gives remarkable agency to editors, which from one angle is great - lovely to be able to add a column, shift a block upwards, pad that image over to the right without any technical skills.

On the other... I don't know a web designer in the world who wants to give their editors complete control. And rightly so. Web design - good web design (and by proxy, UX) - is about constraint as much as it is about freedom. Probably more so. Knowing what not to include, and when not to include it, is the single skill that a great visual / web designer brings to the table.

So to see interfaces like Gutenberg where anyone can ...shift, adapt, grow, shrink, add to, remove... pretty much any element in the interface - is a total disaster.

Here's how "clever" it has become (and it is, technically, and in a fun sense - clever) - you can go into the edit screen of your Gutenberg website, and then you can pull up a tab to the "Block Pattern Directory" [1], hover over any block in the list, copy it, then jump back into your website and paste it. Wow.

Even if (and man, it isn't) that list of block patterns was beautifully, thoughtfully designed, what kind of awful, awful FrankenDesign is going to result from your client taking a random smattering of block patterns and pasting them into pages on their site?

As I said, there are slow steps appearing around being able to lock blocks and block patterns - but WordPress should have been much, much more thoughtful about being open, up-front and strategic with their acknowledgement of this. I know many WordPress designers who have upped and left to look at other platforms because they need client constraint, not "ultimate freedom".

Part of the problem is the word "laser". Large format laser-driven xerographic printers are somewhat obsolete. A long bar of IC LEDs can be used instead of a laser, which avoids the mechanical problems of scanning a long distance with a rotating mirror. It's still xerography, with powdered toner and heated fusing, but it's not "laser".

The Kyocera KIP series printers are good examples of that technology.

There's a somewhat exotic technology used for sign and panel making - UV-cured inkjet printing.
Here's a specialty flatbed printer for very thick (up to 10cm or so) stock. [1] This is often used for large advertising posters, because UV cured inks can survive bright sunlight. Hit hard by UV, the polymer strands crosslink and the liquid ink turns into a hard solid. (It doesn't "dry"; it's not solvent evaporation that's makes this work.)[2] Same concept as dental fillings and stereolithographic 3D printing.

Front Panel Express offers UV-cured inkjet printing on metal as a service. That may be overkill for a prop maker - it's used to make real front panels for heavy use. Front Panel Express preps the blank panels in a plasma furnace before printing for better ink adhesion. After printing, a clear coat can be applied.[3]

So, yes, there's an SEO problem here, but part of the problem is that printing technology has moved on and searching for "laser" is less useful.

(I used to make steampunk props. So I've faced similar problems of surface marking.[4])

No absolutely, it really was a challenge I gave myself and I failed. Several of my classmates didn't publish until their fourth year or so.

But I saw how much work they put in, how organized and passionate they were, and felt like i was just a moth in the lighting section of a hardware store just going towards the next brightest thing. I finally picked a lab and project under a postdoc (who took 6 years to finish his PhD, and was coming upon his tenth year of being a postdoc which should have been a huge red flag). I did about 6 months of reading, some microscope work (was a dev biology lab, another huge red flag given I was basically under the engineering dept). I would come in late night when the lab was free, and felt like I was working hard, but really I had no direction.

When I realized 6 months out that I basically knew nothing, had no goals/interesting ideas, I panicked a bit. I went home for a week to ruminate. My dad actually told me something (I thought at the time) prophetic: I should be giving my school/academic institution a good name, not the other way around. I realized there's no way I could live up to that standard, but I could see people in my class definitely do that (Impostor syndrome? probably, but I'd add laziness to it).

I basically then told myself: publish something in one year, or apply to medical school which I was slowly starting to get interested in.

PhDs (esp in biology/chem/physics) are a different breed in my eyes, and get lots of respect. I wish you the very best!
I'm afraid I find this argument to be specious.

Sure, Roe v. Wade might or might not be a great legal decision. However, if it is not, why are conservative state governments racing to introduce new laws to ban abortion, punish anyone who helps someone have an abortion, and ban forms of contraception. Further, why is no one discussing other, similar decisions? Sure, Griswold is part and parcel the argument over Roe v. Wade, and Loving is verboten while Clarence Thomas is on the court, but there have been many other decisions based on the "specious" right to privacy. Why are none of them being picked apart with the same sharp instruments as Roe?

The answer is that "it's a poor constitutional decision" is a red herring. "When does life begin" is even irrelevant. If you want to understand the people you disagree with (and, yes, I think that is a very good idea), and you disagree with American conservatives, you need to understand that they do not like the way society has changed since 1960---some much further back than that---and many are willing to do or say anything in order to roll back those changes. (And yes, I mean that. The American left has a lot of idiocy, but the vast majority of bad faith arguments, including that Christianity and conservatism are oppressed minorities, come from the right. (https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/2020-07/Good_Faith...))

While you're discussing the legal niceties of Roe v. Wade, keep in mind that it, abortion, and sexuality in general are just the edge of the wedge; there are many other policies on the list that even you might be attached to.
See section on Transcribing
Yes. Pro-choice people have testified to Congress that there is a qualitative difference between 3” of vaginal depth. Stick a pair of scissors through the brain after the head is out of those 3”, then it’s murder. Stick them up to those 3” inches, then it’s an abortion.
IIRC, in `git fetch` if a tag is contained in one of the updated branches, you get it automatically without specifying an additional flag. What you say is true for 'orphaned tags' which no remote branch contains.
Is Airflow good for an ETL pipeline? Right now a client uses Jenkins, but it is quite clunky and difficult to automate, though they've managed to. Cloud not an option.
There's nothing new there. Musk has been talking about how many "gigafactories" making batteries the world would need for a long time. And even battery manufacturers were a bit taken aback by the scale proposed.

> Three years ago, when the Gigafactory was first proposed, "I thought it was crazy," said Yamada. "At that time, production capacity of this Gigafactory would exceed total production of the industry. Not Panasonic. Not Japanese companies. All Japanese, Korean, and Chinese companies combined. I thought it was a crazy idea.

"But I was crazy. And I was wrong. After seeing extraordinary success of the announcing of Model 3, there is a strong demand for this battery. So, three years ago I thought this was a crazy idea. But I was crazy at the time
Nice, but every world is a swamp for me. So much water :)
It is a bold thing to claim that crypto mining is run on stolen power. Stolen from whom, may I ask?
I missed that part of the article, but I'm not sure why they drew that conclusion. Based on the findings of the studies it cites further below, they don't really put forth an argument as to what's wrong with the findings, I think at best one could say based on those specific studies that there is maybe weak evidence that deserves further study, and I will admit the sample sizes are small. However 2 out of the 3 studies that she cites actually do back up Wim Hof, but just not in an extremely conclusive way.

To me, it seems like the author cherry picked those studies to support their conclusion, or it was written before additional studies came out that validate the physiology behind his method. Based on the date I'm going to say cherry picking. There are a few more listed on his own website, I was going to use that as a citation but was trying to use a neutral source.
