HN is a bubble and it’s sad so many people live in it they have no idea what is happening to 50% of the population in this country and needs it drilled into their head repeatedly that they even exist.

Huh? Ice? There isn’t any sea ice to contend with in the UK.
Yes. Social media is the exact same brand of brain-hijacking dopamine dripfeed. They too want their apps to be habit forming in order to maximize the amount of user attention they're capturing so they can make more money on advertising. Every time you see someone talking about "engagement" this is what it means.

Software like uBlock Origin is so world changing they should be built into our operating systems in order to help destroy the revenue of these abusive corporations.
There is a trademark for "Open Source", and if you want to use it without written approval from OSI, you have to use it for something under an OSI-approved license: https://opensource.org/trademark-guidelines#Usage_That_Does_...

I think this is the closest you can come to a "formal definition", short of a law defining the term.
It's a quiz problem, and it's supposed to have "trick" solutions.

However, if he wants to play that game, he should provide proof of his solution, not fiddle with syntax or error checking. That's why discussion is more important, and how he can show that understands what he's doing and not just memorizing tricks. (... none of which matters for his future role anyway.)

The formula "falls out" naturally if you're used to working with summations:

Σi = Σ(n-i+1) = n² - Σi + n

2Σi = n² + n

... but the xor solution is more elegant.
Were they effective? Were they protecting others? I think answer is clearly no.
At the risk of just talking to myself, I'll note that a google scholar search on the [1] above led me to this phd [2] which in turn led me to two newer tools, Verrou [3] and Verificarlo [4] which involve Valgrind and Docker, respectively, though I'd have to understand what exactly is being contained by Docker for Verrou. But it makes me appreciate more the minimalist approach of Knizia et al. in [1], which does involve recompilation of modified assembly, but that's something I'm doing multiple times with student code already.

Oh, I have worked as a freelance graphic designer once. Design is one of those fields where customer interaction can absolutely destroy any fun the profession would otherwise contain: everybody (and I mean everybody) has an opinion on design. The problem is, that many of those opinions are as uninformed as they are held strongly.

"Just make everything bigger" is one of those opinions. At the point where you have to explain your customer how basic perception works, how you cannot make everything equally important without sacrificing something — this is the point where you lost.
Not being funny, but I won’t buy my kids LOL surprise and they know exactly why.

Whether or not this choice of mine is useful is hard to tell.

> As of right now, F2P players cannot earn top-rated Legendary Games, which are only available via some of the game's monetization options,

This was true for earlier games that have been burned to the ground at that point.

From the arricle:

Which of the current major mobile gacha games does have this kind of exclusive pay-only items mechanics ?

Digital Vegan, thinking that extrication would be a matter only of
self-mastery and access to good information rather than fighting
back. Most people do not have that capability.

But fighting back is exactly what you've done, and it's worked for
you. I wrote earlier that the relationship between users and
developers is increasingly an adversarial one [1]. Things like "right
to repair" have become an open battle between ecological common-sense
and pure greed. Where your health, wealth and environment is under
attack from rampant greed a legitimate (moral/ethical) response to
hostile technology is obviously hacking back.

But it's not a universalisable moral principle, unless we want a
descent into chaos and digital "civil war". Therefore the proper
solution is to start recognising what some of these companies are
doing as crimes. You need the law on your side when you act in
self-defence.

Well some of that is also regional, as the "forced" was a region by region, and job by job type of impact.

For me, my employer only had about 3 mo's collectively from 2019 to 2022 where full time work from home was even an option, and zero months where it was required and the offices where shut down.

I think there is a perception that all employers, everywhere were required to go full time work from home, that simply is not the reality

I will say however, the only MFA it supports is push (ie, TOTP doesn't work), and if you're not familiar with that, be aware many Android installations snooze that app and the push doesn't work unless you specifically have the app open at the time you logon.
Malabar data is not proper one to study this because the Malabar region or present Kerala region didn't have a proper 4 caste system. Anyone, not Brahmin was Shudra and hence the rigid system like the north was never there. When north had manusmirthi the one in Kerala was Shankarasmrithi that had only Brahmin and the rest Shudras.
The new monitors are great - I had a Zio patch stuck on me for two weeks, also due to some ectopic heartbeats (especially when exercising) with a button to press and a notepad to log symptoms when button was pressed.

The cardiologist had the entire two weeks of EKG trace, with the times I'd pressed the button (and a minute either side) highlighted, as well as other times it had detected something out of the ordinary.

Luckily in my case turns out I have fewer ectopic beats than the average person, I'm just more aware of them.

It isn't exactly suspicious. I have noticed old news being posted again when it's related/similar to a currently trending news item. Let's just assume that it's an unfortunate coincidence that the people responsible for both fiasco were Indians.

However, these incidents do raise some important issues for both Github and India. This indicates that there is a prevailing situation in India that encourages young novice developers to come up with such low quality contributions to get a foot in the door in the industry.

Do you have some numbers to back your "strong" doubts?

One widely cited source is the 'Lazard' report:

https://www.lazard.com/perspective/levelized-cost-of-energy-...

it puts onshore wind at between $26 and $50 per MW and the cost of offshore wind at an average of $83 per MW. I.e. the opposite of what you think.

Lazard could be wrong, and it would be interesting to hear why, backed by some numbers.
I think it could be good start. Then extend it to things like extreme and regular sports. Maybe any and all alcohol use. Many poisonings. So many ways to save money by limiting access to health care.
The question is very unrealistic... how often do you know there is exactly one duplicate in a list?

Much more common is there are zero or more duplicates.

Here is what I came up with:

- We need a way to record what has been already seen

- A hash-map could work, but I think we can be more efficient

- We know that all elements are less than the array length in size...

- So we can allocate a single array of flags with the same length as the input

- The flag for value `n` is at position `n` in this array

let findDuplicates xs =
let seen = Array.create (Seq.length xs) false

let mutable duplicates = []

for x in xs do
if seen[x] then
duplicates <- x :: duplicates
else
seen[x] <- true

duplicates

I'm pretty sure this is O(n)?

I think it's interesting that the mathematical trick (sum of numbers 1 to n formula) does not work in the more realistic variant. This fact is probably why leet-code problems are so disconnected from the real world. It's like AI for board-games.
> I'm pretty certain some day GitHub will cloak commit emails by default.

GitHub modifying the commit would be incompatible with signed commits.

I wonder if there is some board / book where you can find those psychologists hired to milk money from whales. Nearly all those predatory companies have those desingers / psychologists who try to invent varioua tricks to get money from whales.

Obviously they also need to make the game fun enough so new players come and are converted to whales.

Are there any resources that show player churn?

Turns out, most people value you less if you give away your time and energy for almost free, instead of value you more.

For short times it might be fine, as the initial welcome may still balance some of that. But any longer term and you’ll likely feel an imbalance.
> Is it fair from that "not well networked" person perspective?

Fairness becomes a bit of a contrived concept once you start to factor in higher order effects. Then it just turns into fair if it advantages me, and unfair if it doesn’t.

I helped a friend get a job once because I knew who was going to interview him, and I knew he had a blog where he published all his thought-leader technical opinions.

Is that fair or unfair? Probably neither. It’s more of a random coincidence that my friend benefitted from this. But is it fair that I have learned more about my local industry by going to industry events and listening to people present things, and talking to people, etc? That probably is fair, and that’s how I learned the tip I gave to my friend.

Fairness isn’t really relevant to the problem here. If you believe that there is a problem at all, then the problem is that the screening process can be influenced by random coincidence.

Hmmm, my best guess is they're violating terms of use for the strap. Maybe the strap is a component of a system related to a competitor's product, and part of the licensing of that system stipulates no use for development of competing products.

Your comment made me think about what is the principal point of evolution:

New ideas/species/functions are not born from competition, they are formed by mixing up.
That isn't usually a useful perspective for an agent to take.
This is a very interesting result. Does anyone know how likely ribonucleoside triphosphates are to be formed in young earth conditions? What is the state of the research on this topic?

It seems like this is a pre-print but if it stands up to peer review this would appear to be a big step forward in our understanding of abiogenesis, and would seem to be good evidence for the RNA world hypothesis.

I always kind of hoped abiogenesis happened multiple times on multiple worlds, rather than once and then spread through panspermia. This result seems to indicate it could have happened here.

I think it's a part of the problem that consumers keep buying race bikes even if they're really not good for all around riding without support from a team mechanic. It wouldn't be difficult to make a reliable and affordable road bike with 95% of the performance of a race bike (disclaimer: I just made up the number) but selling it would be a challenge.

So this is another variant analysis utility with a knowledge base to associate variants with diseases. This is nothing new, and many such programs have come out over the last 10 years.
I don't like it either, but my guess is they consider it irelevant. Their software doesn't depend on it, vast majority of their users won't use it and those who want to can easily install it themselves.

I remember times when each mac came with not just Python, but also Java and Adobe Flash Player pre-installed. Of course I'm not saying they should do that again, but there was something wonderfull about powering it on and being able to e.g. play YouTube videos right away instead of having to set everything up like on a PC.
With more and more miniaturization such stochastical behaviour becomes more and more prevalent. Same with higher and higher speed interconnects. Forward error correction is standard on e.g. NAND flash, VRAM for GPUs and being adopted by faster Ethernet standards. It's mostly just the consumer dram market that doesn't have robust error correction.

When I did my geography exam at 16 I'd given up with normal revision, so I spent the morning reading about one particular extremely obscure topic - something like the natural resources of Nigeria - because it was on the back of the weekly installment encyclopedia my parents were buying for me.

It hadn't been mentioned in class. It hadn't even been mentioned as a possibility.

But it came up anyway. I wrote a nice little mini-essay on it, and I aced the exam.

I suspect that happens a lot in exams and job interviews. You get $random_question and it's supposed to be a test of broad knowledge, because clearly if you know the domain you'll know $random_answer.

But it doesn't exclude people who are lucky. (Or possibly mildly precognitive.)
I think your premise that coding is bad for kids is incorrect. Coding is not typing. It's an art of solving problems.

I believe submission title is inaccurate:

> This study shows that various mafic rock glasses almost certainly present on the surface of the Hadean Earth catalyze the formation of polyribonucleic acid in water starting from nucleoside triphosphates.

> Thus, the prebiotic relevance of this result very much depends on whether nucleoside triphosphates were present to Hadean impact fields.

In other words, RNA spontaneously forms on basalt lava glass in the presence of nucleoside triphosphates. These are compounds for which there is no known prebiologic formation process - we only know of nucleoside triphosphates as compounds created by living organisms.

Disclaimer: I am not an expert in this area, I just read the article.
Weird, and a little bit of the trashcan. My two guesses are: they thought it looked sloppy, and don't have photoshop foo; or the designer was asked to hide something sensitive but didn't hide the right thing, and also doesn't have photoshop foo.
I wouldn't consider it cheating. It was either a stroke of luck, or MS wasn't really doing an especially good job of reviewing their tech questions. A big part of programming (in my book) is finding the way that works; using whatever path is required. If you peek through a hole in the curtain to do so, then that's fine. Knowing about the curtain, and the hole in it, is part of engineering.

I remember taking a photography class, where the teacher said "The first rule of photography is to cheat."

He was talking about doing something like walking into a brownfield lot in The Bronx, and taking a picture at an angle, so it looks like a remote wilderness, but I understood perfectly.

I regularly look up the most basic algorithms with Google, and StackOverflow is an integral part of my workflow. I've been shipping software since 1986. I'm thrilled to have all this information at my fingertips.

Of course, I need to do due diligence, and make sure I understand whatever code I crib (I also usually rewrite it, so it fits my style).

If you want to consider that "cheating," then knock yourself out. Whatever creams your Twinkie. I don't care, and I'll keep doing it.
> there was this bash-based Docker reimplementation

https://github.com/p8952/bocker? Last commit was 7 years ago, and even then this was more of an experiment / PoC - I really don't think this was ever meant as a viable replacement. (IMHO Bash is a horrible language as well.)

I agree with your sentiment on container/cloud tooling. It doesn't need to be this complicated, the needs of the 1% are dictating the experience for the 99%. However Docker (the basic CLI interface) and Dockerfile (the format) did a lot to bring containers to the mainstream, and you can still get quite a lot out of it by just sticking to the basics. For self-hosting simple services, or even just deploying your application, on plain old VPS/box-under-the-desk, it's still just plain brilliant; at least compared to loading files into a shotgun and aiming in the general direction of /opt, /usr/local, /home/app, /etc.
I am in several communities that receive many users from the east and that is very common of them: absolute disregard for the rules, common courtesy or even common sense. If they want something, they will keep asking for it even if it's offtopic or even the wrong channel/group/forum/etc until they get it, regardless of whether they are disrupting ongoing conversations or whatever. I suppose that it's a cultural thing.
