> So much of the stimulus and pandemic unemployment money and probably PPP went to strip clubs

Can you show that any significant portion of the money you mentioned went to “strip clubs”? That just seems like an attack on people who received unemployment.
Ask HN: How do I make the most out of my Software Internship?
I am a rising junior and currently have a software internship at a major Car manufacturer company and was wondering what advice you had on how to maximize it?

Thanks!

As a marketer, who is fairly non-tech, think it's not as simple as marketed (the irony). Some tools that help you do very basic stuff like Softr are good for testing a simple MVP, but anything a little advanced would need some dev help even on the no-code tools. Guess useful if you know how to code or need something super simple, otherwise not so much.
>The number of automatic weapons dropped through the floor.

Do you have any numbers on this? As far as I know Australia had almost no automatic weapons prior to this buyback.

>There have been no mass killings without automatic weapons (they're kind of necessary).

This is just not true. Automatic weapons are very rarely (never?) used in mass killings. I think you are confusing semiautomatic (pull the trigger and one bullet is fired) and automatic (pull the trigger and bullets continue to shoot).
The interesting articles which I find in the RSS feed but not on the frontpage nor elsewhere on HN are neither paywalled nor padded with advertisments; either they got lost in the flood of irrelevant articles or did not receive points for other reasons; the one point I can award does little to change that.
Your perspective is not right. You are working in an extremely productive team with extremely talented engineers. How else could two of them have produced 410k LOC in 5 years (assuming it is actual source code and not template-generated junk)? If you are only three people you likely don't need any formal processes. They will just kill your "golden goose". 99% of all developers aren't as productive as your colleagues.
We already do and have been doing that with selective breeding since at least 10kya. If you look at Norman Borlaug's shuttle breeding program, it moved really quickly and in a way there was nothing natural about it.
f1 is pretty toxic imo. it’s worse than nfl or nba. has to do with the nature of the sport being intricately rules based and it’s current high popularity I think.
> But that has nothing to do with overflow being undefined;

That's not the whole story [0]. It looks like JF Bastien managed to convince everyone that 2's complement is the only signed representation that exists and is worth considering, and so pretending to be portable to anything else is pointless. But then he met "strong resistance" trying to finish the job:

The author had hoped to make this well-defined as wrapping (the operations produce the same value bits as for the corresponding unsigned type), but WG21 had strong resistance against this.

So at least one standards person tried to achieve sanity, but he was overwhelmed or outnumbered by the rest of the asylum.

For a stand alone application, -fwrapv makes this silliness go away. However, if I want to write a library where I don't get to control the options my end users select, we're going to end up with silliness like this:

struct integer { intptr_t val; };
integer operator +(integer lhs, integer rhs) {
return (integer) { intptr_t(uintptr_t(lhs.val) + uintptr_t(rhs.val)) };
}

There. Now I've got sane integers. Compliant, and I'll bet it optimizes just as well.

InSight's Final Selfie
I'm late to the distributed system game, and I have a handful of old PCs which I've been wanting to connect into some sort of "supercomputer" or cluster as a learning exercise. Looking at the docs, it seems to me like I could accomplish that in theory using minikube, by treating the PCs as a local environment and managing them all with k8s. Does that sound reasonable, am I way off base, or is there a simpler method?
Something that I haven't seen brought up yet is the "weird C++ vtable layout." This is actually the "relative vtable layout" that's first described here: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26723, and is usable in clang via the -fexperimental-relative-c++-abi-vtables option.

The basic idea is that you don't need to waste a whole 64 bits for vtable entry, especially since you can usually assume that code within the same DSO will be within 32 bits of each other. So, instead, you do a 32-bit offset from a known address (the vtable's address) to get the function pointer, and in the rare case you need a cross-DSO entry, just emit a thunk for the symbol that's in the same DSO to get an address within 32 bits.
Well that's what "city stats" do. As you've said, population number decides the # of patients, # of workers in factory (we don't have that advanced assembler yet, haha), # of students for educational area.

And those "points" will also feedback as the input. Such as better hospitality points increase population cap, higher factory points allows the use of more equipments, higher education / tech points allows the use of more advanced equipment and ability to hire better doctors / engineers.

Now each "special building" have "budgets" assigned to them by the city. Those budget that'll be the balance and limit for equipment / room purchases and hiring, rather than directly received it from patients.

When zines were popular, they were difficult to make and individually mailed to people, and there wasn't a ubiquitous web or a facebook/blogger/whatever. I guess "difficult to make" is relative, but back then it was relative to publishing a newsstand magazine, not relative to a few clicks on wordpress dot org. "Zines" these days are hipster retro kitch, down to fake artfully misaligned/kerned typewriter fonts (or comic book font for a faux-cometbus look.)

That being said, this site is attractive and fun.
Agreed. You can't endlessly dumbscroll on old reddit and engage with other Redditors while you can, easily, on new Reddit. Lots of people like dumbscrolling.
Posted after searching around to find existing examples of source-control for low-code platforms (re: discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31508130).
From the article:

> Haiti has been the victim of injustice. The indemnity was immoral, and France should be ashamed of it. The US Occupation of Haiti abused many Haitians, and I, an American, am ashamed when I see photos of Charlemagne Peralte nailed to a door.

> But these projects are trying assign greater moral weight by claiming exaggerated economic consequences. I can condemn the Haitian indemnity for the injustices they were. But I worry that unnuanced articles like what the NYT has been publishing will cheapen those past injustices by attracting critics who believe that disproving some of the articles' claims then disproves all of them

Yeah, maybe I'll consider having two versions of search - one version for paid customers that allows you to search for YouTube channels by name/keyword and allows you to search across all the channels you're subscribed to or across all the videos in your watch history, and a second version that's free and similar to the current iteration.

VideoMentions Search should work just fine for you - there is no server and no database behind it. When searches are performed, serverless functions are called that source data from YouTube, then return a response to the client. So it should scale just fine.

Can you please visit this link, click the button to perform a search and let me know if you see results pop up?

Skaffold is great, I'm hearing good things about Tilt though so I was planning on giving it a whirl soon.
The space phase of Spore, but done well. Serious UI, customizable defences for when you're away, deeper skill tree, better scaling (spore gets quickly unplayable when you start to grow seriously), more incentives to expend across the galaxy, maybe scriptable units to automate conquest at some points, etc.

It's peaking at 8% CPU time on my 1-shared-vCPU digital ocean droplet, spending most of its time below about 3% - I can't imagine any modern laptop would blink at that usage.
A lot of subs are useless because they're moderated by infantile admins who delete posts and ban users for no legitimate (or even stated) reason. I received a permanent ban for asking (politely) why a bunch of on-topic comments (most of them not mine) had been deleted in a thread discussing a technical topic.

These asshole admins then followed me to another, related sub where they permanently banned me for answering another user's question about a product; again with no excuse. This reveals the depressing fact that Reddit is an inbred community of inbred moderators who bully users for fun and render the entire platform a waste of effort. You spend a bunch of time helping people, only to have your work deleted and being made to feel like you're the bad guy. Just typing this out, I'm getting pissed-off and tense, for having done nothing offensive at all. Who needs that in his day?

I discovered Reddit after Digg sold out and became a spam aggregator, and everyone abandoned it in favor of Reddit. I see that someone below also referred to this incident, and marked it as the beginning of the decline of Reddit. I find it odd to blame the Digg ex-pats because Digg was (in its heyday) a tech-news site not too different from this one.

But not long after arriving at Reddit, I did notice that the technical content soon diminished and was replaced by an endless stream of cutesy "This little guy followed me home" posts about stray animals or other pleasant but wholly useless content.

Sad.
So true. This is one reason why I really miss my Pebble watch with its physical buttons, which allowed me to perform a lot of operations by touch without looking (e.g., play/pause/forward/rewind for media control). In comparison, fiddling with the small touch screen of my Fitbit Versa is such a poor user experience.

Not to mention Pebble's "low-tech" screen was so clearly visible in direct sunlight, while I have problem clearly seeing the fancier screen of Fitbit when it's slightly bright outside.

The buffer pool, concurrency control, and recovery algorithm all need to dovetail into each other. In theory you could have a generic pool library that offers a Pin and Unpin based API, but as you start talking about stuff like garbage collection that has to play nice with incremental checkpointing and the WAL rollover and... it gets hard to make a reusable library vs just each database writing something narrowly tailored to their needs.

Also, a lot of the interesting research stuff going on right now is on storage engines that look fairly different from a traditional RDBMS buffer pool centric storage engine.
Regulatory fear.
Neat, I'll take a look! I thought I was going to need to write something similar!
> GDPR notices are obnoxious,

They're not obnoxious because GDPR made them that way, they're obnoxious because companies who think they have a right to unfettered and undisclosed abuse of people's data (because that's what they were used to) are trying to pretend that the law is the problem and not their malfeasance.

A fully compliant GDPR banner has two buttons, of equal prominence: reject all, and accept all. That's it. Any obnoxiousness is on thy implementor, and it's likely illegal.

Another fully compliant solution is to only collect the data you actual need and then you don't even need a banner at all.
> Of course once someone trains an AI with a robotic arm to do the actual painting, then your worry holds firm.

It's been done, starting from plotter based solutions years ago, through the work of folks like Thomas Lindemeier:

https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=5PpKJ7QAAAAJ&hl=en...

Up to and including actual painting robot arms that dip brushes in paint and apply strokes to canvas today:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/apr/04/mind-blow...

The painting technique isn't all that great yet for any of these artbots working in a physical medium, but that's largely a general lack of dexterity in manual tool use rather than an art specific challenge. I suspect that RL environments that physically model the application of paint with a brush would help advance the SOTA. It might be cheaper to model other mediums like pencil, charcoal, or even airbrushing first, before tackling more complex and dimensional mediums like oil paint or watercolor.
Bugs

Control the environment. Ressourcen and parameters.

Seed bugs.

Have an timedial to speed up time into the future. See how they evolve and if they survive / become dominant spieces.

Could include winning challenges that some seeds of bugs might from an in game or other players competing spieces.

I love evolution games, not enough of them out there.
On a (sad) related note, a few month ago[1] the devs announced the end of active development on RES, and from now on will only receive bugfixes, if any at all.

Which is understandable considering that since the redesign, they have been more and more working against a black box, with the Reddit staff actively trying to prevent access to certain functionalities outside of their clients.

I'm still worried about Reddit turning off old.reddit.com one day, or making some major breaking change crippling RES. Tho it could be a good way to quit using it, as the friction of the new design overpowering by far my desire to go on it.

It's about the number of orders you can make for individual or small groups of units, e.g. split attack orders so each part of your army blows one enemy unit in one shot thus not wasting DPS. The best example is Brood War pro player Jaewong who literally had 70+% win rate in a rock-paper-scissors called Zerg vs Zerg.

Mandatory XKCD on the dangers of extrapolating : https://xkcd.com/605/
One often overlooked fact is Haiti committed a real genocide against whites, almost entirely wiping them off the island (thousands were murdered).

Whites in the Americas and elsewhere were shocked and scared by the news. Many US and European sailors refused to port in Haiti due to this, which only hampered Haiti's economic growth.
Duh! While changes are rare the fear of change does drive people to buy stuff now in the fear it won't be available in the future. Thus businesses that make gun stuff will see increased sales.
But escalate pressure how? Again, assuming that the votes do stay private, how will the leaders know who is lying to them and whom to pressure? Would there be 1 senator pressuring the other 50 to make it pass? But what if it still doesn't pass, does the 1 senator need to pressure all 99 others to try to guarantee it'll pass? If it still doesn't pass, does the 1 senator say we need to sack all 99 of the others?

I agree the general belief is that lobbyists pay politicians to buy votes. I think lobbyists pay much more money to intimidate politicians to vote in certain directions, as it's much cheaper to threaten 100 by paying to make an example of 1, than to pay 100 directly.

So yes, I think they would try to intimidate them, I just don't see how it would actually happen. Perhaps the lobbyists would punish all, just as the teacher punishes the whole class when no one will admit to pulling the prank, or the coach punishes the whole team when no one takes responsibility for a mistake. I just think that for lobbyists to punish the whole team of 100 senators and 435 members of Congress would require a lot more money and would be harder to coordinate than it currently is. Increase the numbers of senators or members of Congress and that could become even more difficult.

I'm not saying it's not possible, it just seems significantly more difficult to intimidate when these details are secret.

> The problem here is the narrative that is built based on the facts is not accurate and conclusions weren’t scientifically drawn.

Yeah, I think you always have to read things like the NYT with an eye towards their demonstrated institutional biases. I think they can be trusted to get the facts right (even if that fact is "ABC made claim XYZ," when XYZ turns out to have been wrong), and I don't really see a better alternative for getting facts about current events.

That said, I don't think journalists at the NYT are the right people to be writing revisionist histories of events that are very much not current. If they want to publish stuff like that, it would better if the hired some actual historians to do these projects (instead of just trying to use them as QC).

Clojure's core.logic (a Clojure implementation of miniKanren) definitely gets some use in production.
It's probabilistic, so it could be any number of genes being changed. Assuming nothing environmental that would increase replication errors. There's nothing preventing multiple mutations, except that the resulting organism should still be viable.

Note that even if the number of mutations is small between two cell generations, they carry over to offspring. The neighbor's "naturally grown" seed may have hundreds or thousands of mutations compared to your seed, without any human intervention required.

CRISPR can theoretically change large sections. But we have just as much trouble as nature has trying to mutate while not killing the organism, or otherwise stunting its development or causing other issues. It's safe to assume most changes will be small in that context too.
