I remember playing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_(card_game) a few years back and I was really bad at it. Recently, I watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTDKqW_GLkw about the math behind mono matching games and how you could use cyclic difference set to generate the cards behind a mono matching game.

I don't understand the maths fully, but the concepts made me remember the game SET. I wondered if I could generate the cards for SET using a similar technique - but I couldn't figure out how to do that.

If anyone has any ideas on cool algorithms to generate set boards where we can derive the number of valid sets without an exhaustive search - I'm all ears! Until then, enjoy the brute force version I created. Cheers!
FAANG - Netflix + Microsoft started development centers in my Eastern European country. Apart from Google which is about the decent level, the rest aren't offering very good salaries or work conditions compared to competition so they aren't attracting the top talent.

Their strategy here is not the same as in US. They came here for cheap workforce, but cheap for them means REALLY cheap.

Most medical definitions of the term disability largely rhyme with the CDC's:

https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/disabilityandhealth/disability.ht...

>A disability is any condition of the body or mind (impairment) that makes it more difficult for the person with the condition to do certain activities (activity limitation) and interact with the world around them (participation restrictions).

Why would commission of a violent crime, which could lead to life imprisonment or the death penalty, be less of a mental health issue than sex or gambling addiction, alcoholism, etc which generally have less of an impact on one's life?
Surely there are some laws that have greater effectiveness relative to the interference with peaceful gun owners.

If you care about working together with your fellow citizens who think differently than you do, you'll pursue such laws and push back on laws that have a bad relative effectiveness.

For instance, did you know that, in California, you cannot buy a new model of a pistol? The most recent model you can get, from a roster that diminishes every year, is from 2013. Why? By what mechanism is that effective? For the same level of annoyance to gun owners, surely there is something more effective? Therefore gun control activists should oppose and overturn that law.

But they don't, because either they are ignorant or because they are more interested in winning than working together.
It's a tough one. If you discover a passion for something as an adult, you'll often wish your parents had pushed you into it as a kid.

I feel this way about music, zero education as a kid, started late as an adult, but feel I'll never catch up.

Though there's no way of knowing whether I'd have felt the same as a kid, or pushed back against it at the time.
Keep in mind this doesn’t just happen with child actors. A lot of kids (such as those of tiger moms) suffer from this. And because they are kids they don’t know any better.

Same story here. The piano teacher refused to teach me in the end.

"(To be fair melbourne people pretend to be more cultured)"

As a currently residing Melbournian - I totally agree...

During the statewide lockdowns it was also interesting to see how the infections spread. At one stage Melbourne had near nothing. Then a removalist from NSW comes travelling and you could see the trail of COVID in the following media reports.

Maybe lack of guns meant less resistance to the authoritarian lockdown. But for ALL the people I know, education meant there was noone even wanting to resist.

Everyone knew that one person could wander around and wreck the lives of many completely unintentionally. And lockdown was the only decent tool society had until vaccines happened.

It sucked. For some more than others as you'd expect. Maybe it was because I was less affected, but in the same scenario I'd do it again no question. I'd be grumpy about the situation, but not the response.
On the other hand, we should be so lucky if more mass-shooters try to use full auto. There are very few situations where that would result in more deaths rather than less.

Some amount of external pressure may help you try something that's slightly difficult and not the most obvious instant gratification available.

The main thing is to not chase some dumb good-parenting metric but to give your kid suitable obstacles so she can experience overcoming them and feel success and gain self-confidence. That's what parenting is all about: the little push that helps kids reach their potential. Easier said than done of course.

I agree though that if that does not stay in the fun zone, the outcome will most likely be bad. Especially if there is some vicarious competition in the parent's head.

These parents died with their kids. They are just breathing bodies.
I think what is needed is some kind of reactive and iterative restrictions. As well as analytics. Just like how companies measure addiction as a stat to optimise, this data should become public and used as a way to measure the effectiveness of new restrictions.

An idea I had is to set some kind of guideline like “users should on average spend no more than 1 hour on the platform per day” and then if the average user starts going over that, the company gets penalised until they bring the number lower.

This way you let the companies use whatever measure they find works best to keep addiction under control.
> Are you saying that the #1 cause of firearm related deaths for children in the US are school shootings?

No, I am saying that school shootings, which are themselves a small share of deaths of children, are the high visibility tip of the iceberg on deaths of children by firearms injuries, which is the leading cause of death of children.

It’s very easy for the parents to manipulate the child into thinking it’s their own idea, whether through guilt or simply not knowing any better. The parents are in a much more powerful position psychologically and mentally. So even if you don’t force them beyond their immediate will you could be doing something negatively.

I think the best way to decide what’s too much is to think about whether or not the child will, 20 years from now, write a blog post shaming and exposing their abuse inflicted upon them.
There are orders of magnitude more in the US.

> Music is a very "asian" or "chinese" thing to put your child through.

Asian culture simply adopted American and English culture in this regard. In the United States circa 1950s and 1960s it was very common for children to be taking piano lessons, and owning a piano was also relatively common. Both the lessons and the piano itself were important status symbols, and having both were considered markers of being middle-class. My mother's side was middle-class Irish-Catholic and she and all her siblings had to take lessons; they also grew up with a piano in the home. By contrast, my fathers side was working-class Polish-German and both pianos and piano lessons were well out of reach--the family cleaned the church on weekends for reduced Catholic school tuition. But I think all 4 of my paternal aunts did have pianos in their homes as adults. So most of my cousins (all maternal, most paternal) grew up with pianos in their homes, though their parents were much less strict about lessons.

My wife, who grew up in Malaysia, had the same experience as my mother. All of her grandparents were already middle-class (shop owners, professionals, etc), but old-world Chinese middle-class where status markers were making donations to religious and fraternal organizations or studying calligraphy. It was her parents generation that bought pianos and forced the kids to take lessons. And doing the same was important for both she and her brother. (I also appreciate the desire, it's just less of a parental priority for me.)

The practice may be a little stickier in Asian culture (both in Asia and Asian diaspora) as the piano slotted into similar, pre-existing social customs which may remain more durable, but I think the overall arc is basically the same, just shifted up one or two generations.
Is it that they weren’t pushed to do sports, or is it that they were never given the opportunity to try it?

IMO, my role as a parent is to expose my kids to as many things as I can. If the like it, I give them more, if they don’t, then we move on to something else.

Nobody ever talks about restricting the first amendment instead of the second, but it would be just as effective for mass shootings.

But we probably wouldn’t even need to restrict it. If the president and other politicians shamed every media company that named the shooter when this happens we could probably make some progress.
> Authenticator apps aren't much better. Look at their privacy policies.

For the most part, "authenticator app" means TOTP, which isn't proprietary.

Which is beautiful because you don't actually need any app for it. Just save the TOTP seed. There are plenty open source implementations to compute the one-time code when you need it.
Man, I would love one of these beasts …
Hmm, none of those are released by Apache Kafka - confluent-kafka-python is, well, from Confluent, and is based on librdkafka, python-kafka is owned by, I'm not sure who.

What do you mean by "without blocking" though? You can set a poll timeout of 0ms, that should prevent blocking.
Are you saying you believe that number would be lower if Americans owned fewer guns? — what mechanism do you believe would cause that?
At the same time, I understand it. There are some things simply out of reach, music you literally cannot play because those wires weren't built when you were younger.
> If I wipe my phone, I have permanently lost all of my TOTP codes if I wasn't careful and backed them up manually before wiping...

Do not, ever, store the TOTP seed in your phone! At least not as the one and only location.
As tragic as these events may be, the probability of your kids dying to a school shooting is still incredibly low, and a few orders of magnitude less than car accidents.

Doing some quick math, it seems like it's around 100 to 1000 times more likely that some kid dies to some accident than a mass shooting. But people don't seem to worry 1000 times more about these accidents than school shootings. And it would actually be much easier to reduce the accident number than the shooting number.

> My counter-ancedote is that I haven't seen it

I don't know your background, but for my part... I live in Canada, in a province that enjoys fishing and hunting (a great part of which is for leisure).

Notwithstanding, the fetishization of guns I observe from the US is deeply rooted: it's not so much a sexual thing (though I have no doubt that in some cases it could be) as it is an identity thing. (For an example of how the word "fetish" applies to guns in American culture, see [1] or [2].)

Enshrined in the very constitution, it defines what it is to live in America.

Politicians go on TV and passionately advance every argument, meritorious or malicious, that they can against gun regulation.

Civil discourse around guns lacks nuance and is extremely dogmatic.

The loud minority that worships their guns is particularly loud. "Regular people" are obviously more numerous and less noticeable, and my criticism of gun fetishization should not be confounded with denial of their existence or numerical superiority.

Still, the overton window in the US seems to be very accommodative to people with more guns than IQ points, and any proposed solutions to try and protect the vulnerable from violence, or ameliorate the situation, are met with outrage.

Generously speaking, the US (and the American sense of identity) has seriously struggled to transition from a society that broadly depends on guns to function, into a more specialized and developed society.

And yeah the green words aren't very good for that Dolly example. It's ML based so its output is somewhat random but usually it produces green words that are much better than that so i think you were a bit unlucky with that example. All the data we collect on the clozes gets fed back into the algorithm so overtime it should become more consistent aswell!
> No, it's tied to the app because the initial secret is destroyed after you set it up.

TOTP is not tied to any app. When you set it up, save the TOTP seed in a secure place that you control. There is no need to rely on any app, which would be too fragile to consider.
many of them don’t know what they need. I often think of the Ford(?) quote, “if I asked people what want they wanted they would’ve said faster horses”
Glad to help! It's an interesting little game; I've thought a bit about making a more complex game based on a similar premise.

If you like that feeling, you might enjoy the old game Vangers. It's not quite ‘take these completely foreign things and do barely understandable tasks with them’, but the mood is definitely there.
You can't seriously expect people to put their lives on the line for complete strangers. Far more effective to design a system in which this isn't required.
Yeah, I think this gets at something important. If the options are homework, reading a book, building something, or playing Fortnight, 90% of kids are going to pick the video game. If most of the time they only have the first three options, finding a better balance is going to be easier.

Forcing children to do one particular thing (above and beyond what is required to survive in this cruel world) is probably bad. Making sure the options they have to choose from are healthy, non-addictive, and engaging is probably necessary, though.

Quite a quick read and sounds somewhat better than knee-jerk reactions people might have

The 3 policy changes in the paper :

```
Evidence suggests that three priority policies
would have the greatest impact in reducing overall firearm homicide rates:

• Universal background checks;

• Prohibition of gun possession by people
with a history of any violent misdemeanor,
threatened violence, or serious alcohol-related crime or subject to a domestic violence restraining order. This must be accompanied by:
(1) a requirement that firearms already in their possession be surrendered;
(2) a procedure for confiscating guns if they are not relinquished voluntarily;
and
(3) procedures for confiscating guns in situations where a person becomes
prohibited from owning firearms after having passed an earlier background
check;

• Extreme risk protection order laws that allow removal of firearms from an individual who, after due process, is deemed to represent a threat to
themselves or others

Orings reduce the total travel, probably by about 6-8mm judging by their thickness though I've not measured it. Traditional Cherries would register at about 25mm and bottom out at about 40mm. So the user would have to train to depress to at least 30 but no more than 35 mm depth. That takes practice, and practice requires making mistakes. The orings bring the bottom of the stroke up into the range where the user needs to practice releasing the key on his own. If you're bottoming out on a mechanical keyboard, you are negating the real benefit of the device.

I've not used the low-profile switches, but I believe that they activate at around 12mm and also bottom out at a lesser depth though I don't know where.

This is why I highly recommend browns (any manufacturer) for new mechanical keyboard users. It is much easier to train on the tactile browns. You could do it with blues as well, but blues are just too noisy for office work, and gamers say that they have too long a reset stroke to be good for gaming. Once the user gets used to not bottoming out on browns, moving to a Cherry red keyboard is absolutely amazing. Typing on reds feels like floating on a cloud, it becomes an enjoyable experience in its own right, once you learn to effortlessly not bottom out.
Given the current makeup of the Supreme Court, and how they have been deciding cases recently, no one is exactly sure how to answer this question anymore. It will likely depend on how John Roberts and Amy Barrett are feeling when they hear upcoming 2a cases.

Prior to 2008, case law was pretty clear that all of these could be heavily restricted or regulated at the discretion of the state or the federal government, if they ever chose to. Prior decisions effectively gave states enough power to ban all guns if they chose to; DC's near-total gun ban was in effect from 1976-2008.
I am working on a game with exactly that mechanic: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1482640/Nurose/ I like to think that the visual programming is pretty intuitive even for non programmers.
Good point. This is a problem with Anglo culture specifically (note the poster who pointed out that Canada’s gun crime per capita closely tracks the US). Anglo culture is not sufficiently developed to support widespread gun ownership and therefore access to guns here must be curtailed.
