Hacker News is a very peculiar place. You make a statement that is fundamental to understanding statistics and you get downvoted till your post dies. On the other hand it's the place where the smartest people get together to discuss things. Smart people don't like statistics?
They are amphipods. A funny challenge to identify. The guys had tried each design available to make a pincer robot. You can find dozens of species populating each sea bottom from beaches to abyss and each freshwater body of water or marsh. Most probably they would be able to deal with salt or migrate up leaving the more salty layers of water. They are the arthropod equivalent to kangaroos and can live also out of the water for a while.

What would be really interesting is the list of species present, that can bring some nice things.

My bet would be that the community will be just an extension of the marine ecosystems near, with mostly the same species, maybe with a nice set of new microbes. Maybe similar to glacier communities and probably communicated with the sea in some way.

But a new ecosystem in the planet is a really exciting thing.
Do you find value in going back to read what you’ve journaled previously, or is the value mostly in the act of writing it down?
Are you alluding to e.g. IEEE 1149.6[1] and IEEE 1687[2], or something different?

Thanks for bringing in an extra perspective. I think I may have come across too negative. I initially felt excited about it, I hate captchas and deal with bots frequently and hate them even more. It’s all a trade-off, and this one seems a reasonable one at the moment. Yet I think we need to be careful not to take it too far. If my device manufacturer decides if I’m legit for me, and the largest proxy decides to cut me off based on that decision, that’s a pretty scary thought.
The wording from some comics get burned into your brain, and then you can just search for the text. For e.g., this one is the first result for "calvin hobbes everyone has his price" https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=calvin+hobbes+everyone+has...
This is classical Bayesian inference. You update your priors when new information comes in. If something happens that you thought was unlikely, you update your credence about this event.
Your concern about tailored user interfaces also applies to disabled people who physically can't do things the same way as the rest of the group, e.g. blind people who need to use a screen reader and keyboard commands rather than look at the screen and use a pointing device.

Having said that, some implementations of collaboration don't have this problem. In most modern networked applications that are designed to be multi-user, each client runs its own instance of the UI, and the clients synchronize the underlying data. This scheme can accommodate different user needs much better than, say, using something like VNC to have a bunch of people watch a shared frame buffer and take turns sending input to a shared UI.
Building a personal blog using Django
I’m new to the world of coding and have been learning python and data science online. Im currently thinking of coding my personal blog using Django since I already know a bit of Python.

I was wondering whether this is a good choice and I would love to see some examples of personal blogs developed using django.
The UK pays its vote counters, and other people who assist at elections (such as the poll clerks who check names off the electoral roll and issue ballot papers). Sunderland South, which takes pride in being the first constituency to return its result each year- aiming to do so within two hours of polls closing- uses bank tellers to count the votes.

Pay rates vary by locality (as elections are run by local councils)- typically it seems to be around £200 for the day.
What about adding .myname-local folder(Or some other name nobody else will use) which is actually a symlink to a separate repo.local folder.

Use a global gitignore to ignore the symlink.

You could even have a script to git clone, make the local dir, and git init it.

Ideally some kind of global convention could be defined for the local folder name, for consistency, reusable tools, and so everyone could know to stay away from it for nonlocal stuff.
Incredible story! Although I personally avoid most instruments with significant history because I’d be a poor steward. I just want to play and study them.
I'm hoping someone with technical knowledge of how Privacy Badger works will read this / be able to answer:

With local learning disabled, is there any need for using the Privacy Badger add-on specifically? Would it be possible to distribute the tracker lists which are generated by Badger Sett in a format compatible with uBlock Origin?

edit: Found that Badger Sett generates a json blob: https://github.com/EFForg/badger-sett/blob/master/results.js...

I am not that familiar with uBlock Origin's filtering syntax, but from a quick look, it seems like the json could be translated at least to the 'dynamic filtering' rules (accessible only when you enable "I am an advanced user"). Perhaps I'll open an issue.

Or this Java-based Spring application is one of dozens or hundreds of ones built by different teams, for different customers, or for different purposes. Some of them may even be applications not built in Java or Spring.

You're missing the point, though.
Have you tried sticking to the default scale (1:1) for a couple days or other whole integers of scaling?

> Who thought it was a good idea to hand standard development to an ad company in the first place?

It is actually not that bad an idea.

Previously, software vendors were in charge, it didn't turn out well, you know, the whole Embrace Extend Extinguish thing. Hardware vendors are no better, they all want to keep competition away, especially if they have market dominance, and (lack of) standardization is a way to achieve that.

Other standard bodies include bureaucratic entities, like committees and governments. They have the right incentives, but they have a hard time keeping up with the latest developments, the standards become obsolete in practice and people stop following them.

Communities are a mixed bag, RFCs are highly successful, but without big money behind it, it often goes nowhere, too easy to ignore.

Ad companies have none of these problems. They are all for interoperability, they want to have their ads seen by everyone. They don't have time to wait, so they keep current. And they have enough power and money to make standards standard. The modern web is far from perfect, but it is way better than it was in the IE days.

The delta matters, but no matter the delta, the fact that it defied expectation stands.
It was well known that pirate decoders existed and were available on the black market. I was a child at the time and I knew that some classmates had such things at home.
I’ve seen this with my M1 and M1 Pro machines. I think the biggest culprit is the RAM. 16 just isn’t enough for large workloads no matter how much faster disk IO is. Usually killing off whatever is taking the most RAM gets the machine working well again.
I get that with my M1 iMac
If you think it’s about flexibility or brilliance or intuition or experience, you couldn’t be more wrong. Leetcode and others and purely about practice and that too recent practice, all questions follow similar patterns and if you have it fresh in memory you can write it in 5 mins. But writing it from brainstorming can take more time tha allotted.

So are top leet coders better programmers? Not really, a lot of them are colleges students who have time to practice and they are in similar competitive circle. I’ve interviewed many and couldn’t hire even one
In addition to these cookie-cutter style questions, I am also against asking questions related to some obscure language feature.
“ The client opens a random port to receive the request on, sends a SYN packet to the server, waits for a SYN-ACK packet from the server…”

The client “connects” to the port, while the server opens/listens on that port.

I should check if I can submit corrections to the OP. Great article, btw!
There was the infamous Vox.com mini-drama of them thinking VCs/SV were overreacting in Feburary 2020 https://twitter.com/recode/status/1227927319920205824
People straight out of college will spend a month doing 100+ Leetcode problems targeted at the companies they're aiming for. Leetcode tracks problems used at interviews, so there's a very good chance they'll see a problem identical or similar to one they've solved already, and it's just pattern recognition.

After the 3rd or 4th time doing this, practicing the same problems just to pass interviews isn't very appealing, especially if you've saved money and can do something more interesting.

You could try to "wing it" and derive it on the spot, but you'll be outcompeted by someone doing a lookup of a solution + alternate solutions from cache.

Question that pops to mind: Was the Hubble telescope ever hit by one such tiny corpuscles?
I must, with respect, disagree that "the cloud" is the same (or even close to the same) thing. Indeed, you use the acronym "PC", which, I'll remind the crowd stands for "Personal Computer". It has recently dawned on me that the thing is not (for most people, ordinary, 'non-techie' people) "Personal", and is scarcely a "Computer" in the sense of Turing-machine/Universal computing device. Allow me to unpack that:

"Personal" is the pair of shoes I wear every day, even though they're years past their use-by date, are ugly, smell funny and the soles are worn. For you it might be the jumper knitted for you by your Nan. It's the objects we use that, over the years, mould themselves to our personal idiosyncrasies, habits, preferences and style. Our computers scarcely have that (particularly in the Apple and MS worlds of Personal Computing!) and hardly live long enough to acquire personalisation/personality. Not to mention, too, it's quite hard to do. Example: my (Linux, KDE) box is pretty happy for me to define custom hot-keys for all sorts of things, from firing up frequently-used apps (I scarcely ever use the desktop menu these days) to typing my email address. But could my (tech-clueless) brother do that? Extremely unlikely. And it takes several non-intuitive steps to make a new hotkey...

"Computer": How programmable is my phone? (I've done Android dev work. I don't ever wish to do it again.) How scriptable? How malleable in casual ways? Not at all. It's Google's device much more than it's mine. It's a sort of locked-down surveillance television, not a general-purpose computer programmable-by-me (except in a highly specialist and narrow sense.)

Much of the blame I put at the doorstep of Visual Basic which reduced the scope and utility of direct-manipulation interfaces into a terribly narrow, constrained version of "paper forms on an electronic screen". It put the vision back by at least a decade. Maybe several.

Finally, though, I have hope we might emerge from that. There's a bunch of us working on it.
I get the sentiment, but it's not just HTTP - it's DNS, TLS, TCP, IP, etc. It really depends on what type of web dev you want to be.
I think one of the major contributors that is often not mentioned with cloud providers are the actual setup/human maintenance savings. As is, the premium that is added to the 'managed' services is usually much less than what would cost a DevOps to maintai /run. I.e - it is safe to assume (at least the market that I'm in) that 1 hour of DevOps services will cost 150USD. 10 hours would be 1.
5K USD. That is actually enough to host a PHP based medium sized ecommerce solution by using purely managed services for about a month (<500 orders/day, using AWS ECS, RDS, ALB, OpenSearch, ElastiCache). Sure, there is still the DevOps cost attached to such solutions, but it is drastically lower than on premis. I've been using these arguments with my customers to migrate them to AWS for the past few years (since Fargate wide adoption) and its been great so far. I do not think that saving money should be the primary reason to migrate to the major cloud providers. The primary reasons should be the increased robustness, ease of maintenance and additional tools that you get.

PS. This is written entirely from the perspective of running multiple small/medium ecommerce solutions (500 - 2000 usd/mo AWS bill) using the stack mentioned above. I have no real world experience doing grand scale setups.

It's not unique to the Singularity. Another common trope is, when God doesn't answer, people turn to the Devil or Cthulhu. When medicine fails to provide a miracle, they turn to magic crystals.

> But then why do people with that kind of reputation still (at certain companies) have to jump through these hoops?

They don't. Your link is not about the interview.
Years ago I came up with the first algorithm to solve a problem in a niche area in polynomial time. It uses some fairly contrived techniques; the power of the polynomial, if we really tried to estimate it, would probably have been >=10, or even >=20. But some time later another group of researchers expanded a technique used in the algorithm to help solve the problem in a much more practical manner.
The Thing. Probably part of the reason why it'd be a dream job for me to work in Antarctica.

Yes and no.

In some ways its good, theres companies investing money to develop new cars, its not right to just drop something like this on them, then theres other infrastructure, houses, flats that need chargers etc.

But.
Theres always the tendency to make the announcement but not follow it up in any practical way. eg in the UK they're phasing out gas (only) boilers from 2025, but they don't seem to have decided if they're replacing this with hydrogen / methane / heat pumps or what. I don't want to make a multi decadal investment without knowing what the government is going to back.
When they're ready.
Yeah and in fact even for HTTP/1.1 only the start of requests/responses are plain text, as the content is transmitted in its raw, binary, form. If it's textual content, or none at all, it's definitely all text, but if it's say an image being uploaded, then the content is binary. I'm glad that HTTP was so pragmatic about this compared to purist e-mail with its base64.

As for HTTP/2 changes, header names are now all lowercased (the article still works with 1.x casing). A stupid decision to lowercase if you ask me, but that's what the HTTP/2 authors went with. Lastly, the article mentions server push, but Chrome has announced its deprecation 2 years ago.

Regarding Linux distributions, I personally find that Ubuntu LTS occupies that sweet middle-ground between bleeding edge and stable software. I find RHEL is too stable (old) and I’d prefer any of Fedora, Debian stable or Debian testing to RHEL (haven’t used anything else).

> no one wants to be stuck with a 2 year old browser that only gets backported security patches

Most people I know – both technical and non-technical alike – would be quite happy with a browser that only gets non-security updates every year or so. The non-technical users tend not to care about new features. And almost nobody likes UI changes (that often aren’t objectively better, easier or more intuitive than the previous version). I now install Firefox ESR on the few PCs that I manage for end-users and it has been better for everyone.
My understanding is that accelerated reliability / lifetime testing is often not terribly representative of actual performance (sometimes failures are underestimated, sometimes overestimated; in either case, the mechanisms for failure can simply be different from those that are emphasized during the testing).

What’s new with in-app purchases at WWDC 2022
In the 90s only a very few “AV” model Macs had RCA input jacks (2 Quadra’s using 68040 CPUs and later a couple early PowerPC machines).
Some context on why progress slowed:

From the 60s to the 80s we got pretty good at tokamaks (stellarators have been catching up since we got computers) but Magnetic Confinement Fusion (MCF) triple product performance scales with major radius ^ 1.3 and confinement field strength ^ 3. Power density scales linearly with major radius and with the magnetic field strength ^ 4.

At some point increasing the major radius becomes extremely expensive, so pushing past the barrier of Q=1 has been a long, political process. At the same time a real burning plasma (Q>1) machine has a lot of added cost to operate a nuclear facility (tritium handling and neutron radiation).

So there has never been a physics barrier to Q>1, but an economic one. What's changed in the past year is that REBCO manufacturing and working matured to the point that confinement fields are now twice as strong as they used to be. Suddenly building a burning plasma machine isn't a 40 year international venture and economically viable MCF plants are in the crosshairs.
I notice you switched from “brown” to “black” here. Was the switch substantive? But the DMV thing sounds like a QAnon-style conspiracy theory.
It might indeed be the RAM. I've never seen this behaviour on my M1 Max with 64GB.
I didn't know RFB was a thing. I will be looking into this.

What I really want is to be able to send an initial jpeg keyframe to the client, and then use some application-level heuristic to determine if I should then send a delta-encoded frame (what to change based upon the prior) or another keyframe. For 90%+ of my frames, using a prior frame and indicating deltas would be far more efficient than sending a keyframe each time. Maintaining the previous frames on the server per-client is not a huge deal and would not impact latency if done properly.

I wonder if there is some way I can use jpeg itself to half-ass this sort of approach in the browser. Maybe... encode keyframes at ~80% quality and delta frames at 100% (still not guaranteed, I know). Maybe canvas compositing or simple buffer tricks with bitmaps could get ~95% of the way there. For my application, the pixels don't have to be perfect or accurate to any particular standards.
Nah, it’s just that LC problems take practice to get good at. Similar to weight lifting you wouldn’t expect to bench 250 lbs your first week, but after training and making progress you’ll get there (or close).

If you’ve never done LC (or any competitive programming) you’ll struggle. Practice more and you’ll recognize the dozen or so patterns.

Also LC is not “novel,” maybe at the time when the algorithm was first devised but not when you have 20 minutes to solve one.
Just shipped the first alpha release of our API
Our free API allows you to authenticate students, researchers and educators with the SSO service of their institution.

A successful authentication provides the user's unique identifier, institution, institution country and affiliation (e.g. faculty, staff, student, employee) to their institution.

To better understand how we can improve Studid, I'd appreciate any feedback or advice you can offer.
Even still this isn’t correct, even building a great team isn’t the work of one person and plenty of great games are built by teams lead by people who don’t get press as visionaries. You’re falling for marketing, both personal (where extreme charisma does help) and company lead where wheeling out a famous name sells units. Which isn’t to say famous people are all rubbish but that the hype and the reality are very different to one another.
The issues isn't the color of the asses, but rather that the word spelled is assess. As in, the tax assessor is coming to assess our property now that we put on that addition. I expect our assessment to go up.
