> I don't see how holding the third parties responsible would prevent the acts themselves.

You don't see how, if people know they are legally responsible for what guns they own are used for if they give them to someone else, they would be more careful about who they give them to?

Obviously prosecuting someone after the fact is retroactive for that particular act. But that in no way means it does not send a signal to other people to proactively change their behavior. That is how most law enforcement has its effect. And it has the advantage of putting the responsibility where it belongs; whereas if you take away everyone's guns because a few people can't use them responsibly, or can't be bothered to be careful about who they give them to, you are punishing the wrong people.

Simulations suggest that a fatigue mechanism of a subset of neurons is essential for this short-term memory. Direct proof is lacking because these internal variables cannot yet be measured, but it does mean that the network only needs to test which neurons are currently fatigued to reconstruct what information it has previously processed. In other words, previous information is stored in the non-activity of neurons, and non-activity consumes the least energy

This is how every issue tracker works. It takes time to explain things (and more time to generate all the facts needed to put together an accurate explanation). What matters is that they got him a workaround --- apparently, almost immediately. He hasn't taken them up on it; it's unclear why.

There's no indication I can see that DeVault's "banning" from the issue tracker has anything to do with any of this.

There's always going to be some standard the Go team (or the Rust team, or the Clojure team, or the Scala team, or any other team down the line until you just decide to do your own language and hope for the day you get to occupy the gratifying job of fielding these kinds of tickets) doesn't meet, for someone on some message board somewhere.
Problem 2 - Extract href value from <a> tags in NYT front page

Create a file called 2.l containing

int fileno(FILE *);
#define jmp (yy_start) = 1 + 2 *
#define echo do {if(fwrite(yytext,(size_t)yyleng,1,yyout)){}}while(0)

%s xa xb
%option noyywrap noinput nounput
%%
\<a jmp xa;
<xa>\40href=\" jmp xb;
<xb>\" jmp 0;
<xb>[^\"]* echo;putchar(10);
.|\n
%%
int main(){ yylex();exit(0);}

Compile

flex -8iCrf 1.l
cc -std=c89 -Wall -pedantic -I$HOME -pipe lex.yy.c -static -o yy1

And finally,

yy2 < 1.htm

This faster than Python and requires fewer resources.

Wow Will was such a part of my childhood watching Star Trek. Obviously, he didn't appear often but he was memorable simply because there were so few people as young as him on the show.

Sad to hear this all around. This also brought back memories of me being required to play piano growing up. I hated piano, performing (recitals), playing in general. I was terrrribbleee (still am) and was put up in lessons for 12 years. I fought tooth and nail as I got older and eventually was so bad my parents stopped at 16.

Music is a very "asian" or "chinese" thing to put your child through. As well as being good academically. This part of my life was a sore spot, but not even close Will's situation.

As I have young children of my own today, I'm faced with these questions. What is a healthy amount of pushing vs too much? I don't need my kid to be the best at anything - I just don't want them to be lost/dead-in-the-water or unable to fend for themselves.
As a former gun rights advocate who is now in favor of basically eliminating guns except for hunting…

> I think gun owners would be much more receptive to regulation if they felt people were genuinely trying to separate narrow and effective laws from broad infringements that annoy many and accomplish little.

From both positions, I’d favor regulation that explicitly aims to limit gun possession as much as legally possible. The problem with “more gun laws the better” is everyone knows it’s bullshit that accomplishes nothing, no one benefits, and every terrible incentive is incentivized.

They should come for the guns and get as many as possible, with as much solid legal theory backing it as they can. They’re never going to convince the fringe, but they’ll convince the vast majority of people who agree with regulation that they mean it and intend to be effective. Anything short of that is political theater.

I appreciate the story, and I can understand that mindset personally because I have also been dissuaded from driving by my knowledge of the danger of cars.

But it has never persuaded me to support tough car restrictions or bans on cars for other people. It's a personal risk calculation that I do not impose on others. I don't know the shy child you mention at the DMV, but I doubt he was persuaded to outlaw cars for other people either. That's a mindset I do not understand.
How about the movies? Are they allowed to optimize for engagement by screen testing, or no?

That was to make the disk writable.

There was a copy protection on the Atari computers that was actually super simple. Having hacked on some games on the Apple, I decided to give the Atari machines a go, and those did a very interesting thing when loading software, and that thing was to make sound. One beep sound per sector!

Ultima II was protected using the "bad sector" method. Basically, the commercial disk was mastered in such a way that a sector, or group of them, would fail to read properly. Users could not make these disks easily, and that was the protection.

I was about to start disassembling the program and decided to try something:

Booting the official disk highlighted a bad read some number of reads in. You could hear it. Beep, beep, beep, bfzfzfzfzf [pause], beep, beep, beep...

My solution was to just open the disk drive door at the right time. Count the beeps, open door, let errors happen close door, play game.

I never did begin to disassemble that game on Atari machines. :D
Oops. I meant Ultima 7.5.
> Gun violence solved: Just don't have an irresponsible person in your home.

Doing that doesn't just "solve" gun violence. Focusing on the guns as though they're the root problem when irresponsible people are involved is like painting over the rust on your car and thinking it "solves" the problem.

> once responsible, always responsible

I made no such claim. Obviously the responsible/irresponsible judgment is not one you just make one time and then it never changes. Any reasonable person will understand that making such judgments is an ongoing process.
> This isn't a true Scotsman, or this isn't representative of real world code

It is, but induction variables optimization generally requires lots of memory accesses. I will try to come up with something.

> Dead code elimination is one of the most important optimizations

Yes, inlined code has a lot of constant conditions and code that similarly only follows one path only. Dead code elimination, constant propagation, eliminating stuff like &*x so that x can stay in a register, are all very important to achieve zero-cost abstraction. Mostly in C++, Rust and the like, but also in C.
That's ... not even wrong. Or severely misguided. It's like saying "My impression of cooking is that you have to make several hotdogs before you can start frying things."

I think I understand that it's what you mean when you say "totalitarian". I'm not interested in communicating further, after your unfriendly accusations.
yes. we used to modify the applesoft rom card to pretty stop the CPU, start hacking the memory to find out where copy protection routines were and patch the code. The same concepts even transitioned into the first macs for cracking and patching. Fun stuff
I was looking for a similar type of game, focused on resource management, but for engineering specifically.

Something like you need to invest a certain amount of time into new features, tech debt clearing, hiring, etc.. and then get hit with various issues that you need to react to (star employee quits, data breach happened, sales oversold something, ...). The goal would be to survive as a product on the market.

Anyone knows of anything like this out there?
I'm a Native-American from the Andean region. And I had some idea that there were settlements, from a few articles I read some time ago.

A valid point. However, the number of justifiable gun homicides relative to criminal homicides is pretty insignificant:

“In 2016, for every justifiable homicide in the United States involving a gun, guns were used in 37 criminal homicides”

Your first paragraph makes me realize how messed up reality appears to be. A mass shooting every now and then is the new normal. A worthy trade-off for being able to defend yourself and keep the government from issuing lockdowns.

If someone broke into my house the default assumption has to be that they're armed and I should fear for me an my family's lives. So I better be armed myself, and better armed then the burglars. Just don't accidentally shoot a family member that you mistake for the home invader in the heat of the moment. But that would never happen to you anyways, only to other, stupid and irresponsible people - who pretty much then deserve to live with the consequences. Compare that to any European country, where burglars always wait until nobody is home, and even if that goes wrong you at least don't have to fear for anyone's life as they'll either beat it immediately or you calmly hand over your cash and be happy you're alive and well.

> and those are in effect at airports as well

I don’t think this is that difficult. Don’t bring a gun to an airport. If you must for transport, arrange for a professional to do it for you. If you can’t afford that, you don’t have a good reason to travel with a firearm.

> … and a Border Patrol agent came to the scene, ran in alone and killed the shooter.

Note that Border Patrol Tactical Unit (Bortac) agents were the ones who confronted and shot the shooter. They aren’t your run of the mill agents and they also ignored the others waiting for backup and went in before backup arrived.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they were former military with downrange exposure. Lots of people criticize police in these situations waiting for backup, but the reality is a real firefight your first time is fucking terrifying, even when you outnumber the shooter. Paralysis in these situations that are more similar to urban combat than daily police work is expected.

Hey @jonplackett! as @alex_smart noticed in another comment, I am performing on-the-fly searches on the client.

Some requests can't be sent from the browser directly to YouTube due to the Content Security Policy directives that YouTube has in place, though.

For example, if you try to run this code to fetch a YouTube video page in the browser console from any non-YouTube site (like Hacker News or VideoMentions), you'll see the it errors out:

(async () => { const response = await fetch('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irjc1nJ1eJs'); console.log(response); })();

That's why my app uses serverless API endpoints as a middleman. It works like this:

1. Browser fires off a request to the API endpoint.

2. The serverless function Node.js process spins up, fetches the data from YouTube, returns the response, then spins back down.

3. My app takes the video data in the response, saves it in memory, searches it for matches, and re-renders the UI to show the matches, if any.

I built my app to do as much work as possible client-side, and to use serverless function API endpoints for anything that can't be done in-browser.

I replied to @lewisjoe's comment above this one with some more details about tricks I'm employing to make searches fast.

Thanks for checking out my project!

That amendment was written back when a gun was more powerful than words or information, and when gun ownership was more prevalent and necessary.

In our modern day information, speech, and and privacy are the guns that ensure rights are not stomped on. It’s no longer the wild wild west.

To think that rules written hundreds of years ago never need to be changed is spitting in the face of our founders who realized that the process of amendments are necessary because things change. The irony is that people are defending the second amendment by claiming it cannot be amended.

Oh, you’re right – your (Abi Noda’s) Leaddev article (https://leaddev.com/reporting-metrics/flawed-five-engineerin...) was published in 2021, not 2022. Sorry for getting that wrong. I think I confused the ad for “2022 Conferences & Events” at the start of the article with the publication date.

It doesn’t seem true that Julian’s Haystack article (https://www.usehaystack.io/blog/software-development-metrics...) was published in May 2021, even though that’s the date at the top of that article. It was apparently originally published in November 2020, as seen in a snapshot from December 2020: https://web.archive.org/web/20201204170826/https://www.useha.... Your article does seem to have been published in April 2021, as you say: https://web.archive.org/web/20210419071103/https://leaddev.c....

Though your article was published later, the talk you gave on this topic (your YouTube link) was from December 2019, before either article. Julian Colina’s article quotes many phrases from that talk directly, so it does indeed seem that you, Abi Noda, are the original source.

There is no healthy amount of pushing, period. If you stop applying pressure, children will find their own thing, and that’s the best outcome for them. Just make sure they know the possibilities of what they could do.

What would you have liked to do instead of learning piano? Did you need pressure from your parents to have those ideas?

I asked my parents for a keyboard. My mother said that I‘d need to learn piano first - so I agreed to take lessons instead. 8 years later, I gave up on piano lessons, with no keyboard in sight. Haven’t touched the piano since. I wonder what would’ve happened if they had just bought me that cheap keyboard instead.

Which is why porn is such a great dataset for crowdsource:

- lots of people are stimulated by it

- lots of people want DALL-E-2 for porn

- and lots of people are willing to work towards that common goal

The beauty of this is that people are just going to keep coming and coming to it.

Like I'm trying to be mature and serious about this. What's it going to take?

- Community responsible for scraping dataset, generating image dataset from moving pictures, upscaling said dataset.

- Crowdsourced labeling, cleaning, normalizing dataset

- Crowdfunding to train, host, and publish.

All of the above are not easy by any means but its much more achievable than trying to build a generic DALL-E that can create anything.

Really my point is that the scope of the dataset has narrower range in terms of desired output where as DALL-E-2 casts a far wider net.

Specialization is key here.

There were peripheral cards for the Apple II that would snapshot memory and write it to disk. You could use these to copy most games/programs. But there were still a couple games that would periodically check that their disk was still in the drive for which this wouldn't work.

Edit, oh it's mentioned on the Spiradisc page:

> Spiradisc was used on Sierra's "Frogger" and "Maze Craze Construction Set" titles. It truly was state-of-the-art. My favorite trick was the way they defeated NMI copy cards, which captured a snapshot of the computer's memory after the game had loaded. The easiest trick -- corrupting your stack pointer when the game is idle, so the interrupt frame overwrites a valid return address -- was too obvious, and too easily circumvented. Instead, Spiradisc collected some information about the computer's configuration as it was booting. This was periodically re-checked. If the computer had mysteriously gained or lost peripherals, the game knew it was running on a different computer, and would bail. This meant that memory-image copies would appear to work until you tried using them somewhere else, which, as intended, had me running in circles for a few days (the copy card was in a friend's computer).
