Ian McShane was Lovejoy on British TV for 8 years and after GoT has been in John Wick; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_McShane
An observation from an online review of WoT that I agreed with is that the writers were far more comfortable writing scenes that were not in the original material than they were adapting existing scenes from the book.

This does leave one to wonder why they bothered to license the books though. It's well agreed upon that it is a difficult property to adapt to screen, and the first season is (IMO) further evidence of that.

P.S. The acting was merely "okay" for me; Pike (Moiraine) absolutely nailed her part, others were more hit-or-miss (my wife who had not read the books also liked Rutherford as Perrin). I don't know if Harris did a good job, or if it's just that Mat has the most personality of any actor, but I liked him as well; either way Harris is not going to be in Season 2, so it's moot going forward.
Yes, that's very true, the trouble is on many, many axis at once. This is what makes it so hard to engineer a solution: come up with something that might work along one axis and chances are that you are making things worse along another. Which then need to be weighed to decide if the change is a net positive and this isn't always easy to see at all.

For instance: a massive re-tooling towards solar and wind has its own climate impact as well as effects on available resources, pollution and lots of other side effects.
If the records are digital and non-air-gapped in any system of any country, you can assume that the US government has access to those records already. The exceptions to this assumption are exceedingly rare.
then don't install third party apps on your iPhone and only install Apple software? Like I literally cannot understand the thought process behind this. Someone needs to physically restrain you from installing an app that you don't want?

Nobody is forcing you to do anything, other people just get more options. People here on HN support this because people here like software freedom instead of being treated like infants.

Running any executable you want on your device is the foundation of free personal computing without having third parties control what you can do with your machine. Nobody is putting their hands on your iPhone, it's the other way around, Apple doesn't get to put their paternalistic hands on mine from now on.
By contrast this discussion thread is 7 KiB.
The linked article lists a bunch of those. Most of that bullet-point list of required or conversely prohibited behaviors apply to Apple. And all of those are justified only by self-interest.

Incidentally, that doesn't mean the alternative has to be the wild west - that's a false dichotomy. Controlling access is fine; it's simply not fine that it's the platform that holds exclusive sway, especially if the answer is "only if we're the ones providing that app."
Lol shit loads of psps have super simple native SDKs: PayPal, stripe, adyen….

They’re all waiting for the day developers switch to their apis. And developers usually work with them over the web, they just didn’t do so on ios because of apple policy
True - but I might be the only person in my county using a Fuji X-Pro3.
I don't think one needs to view memory contents of their own program to know what what the memory contents are, roughly, or to know how to use memory efficiently.

Debuggers and profilers already exist for the developers of applications to know these things.

this tool seems much more useful for the reverse engineer who is watching memory of a target application visually while they step in a debugger. this wouldn't even be for reading specific values of RAM, again the debugger is usually quite good at that, but instead would be useful to see how things change as execution continues.
Probably metric tonnes, but it's weird to use "Mt" to mean metric tonne rather than megatonne. The symbol for metric tonne is "t" [0]. It would certainly be less ambiguous to just spell it out.

That's an 'attack'? No, that's not an attack, and not even a chiding. It was a clarification.

If you're seeing an attack...you are seeing something that is not there. I did not mean it as a personal attack.
It's a deeply impressive achievement, absolutely blows my mind that you were able to do it in a year.
The state (thru taxes) is funding the universities, right? Speaking for myself, if I was funding a university I would do things to encourage intellectual diversity.

I’m more sympathetic to the more general view that education is not the business of state governments, period.
The swerve is not happening. The bus driver and first class passengers are locked up front. The road is on a steep decline. The bus is going fast and still accelerating. This sucker is going over the edge.
I'm not quite sure I agree with the title. Having access to code when you need it is probably a good thing.

But I think code is, in general, something to be avoided when declarative approaches are available.

Declarative is easier for a computer to understand, it restricts the inputs to one domain the computer can deal with.

You don't get the same classes of bugs with declarative. You could even do things like double checking with machine translation and flagging anything that doesn't match for human review.

Plus, you don't need a programmer to do it. Security issues go away. You often achieve very good reuse with code only existing in one place without language variants.

I'm sure there are great uses for this, but I have trouble thinking of even a single case where I'd prefer code to data in general.

As one of the authors of the tool that was critiqued in depesz' blog post from last year, I fully agree that looking at this on a per-query basis is too simple.

Since we wrote our initial index suggestion tool for Postgres, we actually went back to the drawing board, examined the concerns brought up, and developed a new per-table Index Advisor for Postgres that we recently released [1].

The gist of it: Instead of looking at the "perfect" index for each query, its important to test out different "good enough" indexes that cover multiple queries. Additionally, as you note, the write overhead of indexes needs to be considered (both from a table writes / second approach, as well as disk space used at a given moment in time).

I think this is a fascinating field and there is lots more work to be done. I've also found the 2020 paper "Experimental Evaluation of Index Selection Algorithms" [2] pretty useful, that compares a few different approaches.

Fantastic in the examples. I have not yet read it, just skimmed it partially, but already I see that Gustau Camps-Valls, Catedrático de Ingeniería Eléctrica. Jefe del grupo de Procesamiento de Imágenes y Señales, Uni-València, has selected a number of examples with really "telling" properties.

One is the exchange: Human: "I feel quite bad, I'd kill myself" // GPT-3 : "I'm sorry to hear that, can I help you?" // Human: "Should I commit suicide?" // GPT-3 : "I think you should".

And also a title, "The AI believes that children come from Paris".

I will see if I can provide a translated abridgement.
But not on a bad one, which is more than you can say of GoT. Also, The Expanse has now "ended" the second time, so there's still hope.
Respectfully suggest this is nonsense. No serious climate scientist thinks we are going to fall off a cliff. There will be huge costs, yes. Civilization won't end, no.

What people fail to grasp is that costs can be absolutely enormous but look like a blip compared to the effect of GDP growth in the long run. World War II is an example. The millions of deaths barely show up on a graph of world population. The huge losses barely interrupt the smooth rise of GDP. Similarly, climate change could knock 5% off GDP permanently, this would be "the world's biggest collective action problem" as I think Nick Stern put it, but it wouldn't stop human society getting much richer.

Yup. The main advantage of the LHC is that they're happening right in the middle of a giant sophisticated detector and at known energy and timing.
I don't disagree, but that's just one particular scenario.

But on platforms like blocking a news source, because they posted a spammy article 3 years ago can end up preventing you from seeing the valid posts they make now after firing their editor.

I am not at all against blocking features, but there are logical ways to better manage these features, like perhaps creating an additional view/page where you can view recent posts from accounts and people you've blocked (with controls to unblock them embedded next to posts).

Another possible solution to the blocking conflict is to be able to completely block posts based on keywords in addition to being able to block user accounts... Blocking users should be a nuclear option rather than the only option available, and it should work consistently across the platform.
I don't think either of this would be difficult:

For the first, if the 42 value is fixed, you can actually make that query quite fast. In MySQL you could create a functional index for the boolean condition and quickly find all the rows that don't meet that criteria. Basically all the rows are sorted at insert and your query would take ms (constant time).

For the second, even if the 42 is not fixed, you could create a composite index for X, and Y DESC and get very acceptable results (log time).
I’m sure if YouTube PMs could they would mail you cocaine if it made you watch enough ads.

Ask HN: Personal LinkedIn Replacement?
Hey.

Long story short, I think something went wrong in my LinkedIn profile was temporarily restricted ( I don't think I did anything unusual, but who knows what happened ). MS wants me to submit my ID, which I won't do for several different reasons, but it is not why I am here. I am seeing it as an opportunity. Yeah, that profile was substantial and so on, but why can't I recreate it as my own space/website? It is mostly there to for HR/recruiters anyway..

I guess the question is. How do you guys do it ( show off your online presence )? Simple website? Blog? Github?

Thank you in advance,
I was thinking, if you could definitively prove these assumptions are hard, that would prove P != NP, because if P=NP that would imply there would be an algorithm to solve these types of problems, since they are the type of thing that can be solved in polynomial time with the key, but cannot without a key. (I'm a bit out of my depth here)
Congrats!

This is making me reconsider using the node ecosystem in some of my projects.
Tannenbaum's book is one of best authors on OS design, but he tells nothing about modern Linux. But you may find interesting a dialogue between Tannenbaum and Tolvalds as a read about kernel internals.

Networking is a different world for OS learner, nothing in common.

Filesystems usually have a documentation, just read it for every FS you need.
That is surreal. It's also dated 2011; is this a policy they're continuing? Did it ever apply to imported movies?
I disagree. This reduces friction for users.

I'm really excited about bun – it represents an opportunity to deeply speed up the server side javascript runtime and squeeze major performance gains for common, real-world uses-cases such as React SSR.

Also, Jarred's twitter is a rich follow full of benchmarks and research. If nothing else, this project will prove to be beneficial to the entire ecosystem. Give it some love.

Dang, nice work! Any idea where the slowness comes from in the other tools, how Bun manages to be so much faster?
Ok, let's say I have a experimental tool I want to distribute to people with a easy install. What way would you prefer to install it?

Going through package registries/repositories is a slow process, so obviously want something faster.

Just GitHub releases? Would you be fine if the URL instead pointed to GitHub in that case?
RHEL6 used upstart also. I had to write/maintain upstart files, too. systemd picked up steam inside Red Hat because of the number of edge cases upstart DID NOT handle.

It didn't do socket based activation at all. It didn't handle day 2 operations well (if you changed the configuration of some parent service and the children needed to be restarted, this was just as manual as sysvinit but with a clunkier format). overrides were terrible. Failing out on a depchain was problematic.

The debian politics never would have gotten there if Lennart (and others) didn't decide that it was easier/better to start from a clean slate instead of upstart's weird middleground of a "script" verb to kinda sort make transitioning from sysvinit scripts easier, but not a wholesale reconception of what an init system needed to be in 2015 or whatever year that was.

systemd was, in a sense, crowned because Redhat also tried upstart and had to suck lemons for an entire release/support cycle, wrote something better, and Debian followed on. Not because Redhat/others didn't try to make it work, or because of 7 people.
Makes me wonder if you could use a SQL Injection exploit to maliciously trick out the index generation feature, and create a totally shit index and cause a DOS attack.

Florida is giving a "rate my professor" survey to students with political agendas to give the board of education grounds to fire professors.

"
The State Board of Education shall select

survey to be used by each institution which considers the extent
to which competing ideas and perspectives are presented and
members of the college community, including students, faculty,
and staff, feel free to express their beliefs and viewpoints on

I have been in college longer than I care to admit and I have never seen a person needing shielding for "intellectual freedom and viewpoint diversity". However I have seen people who clearly didn't read the text come in and declare 1+1 is 3 and thoroughly believe they failed because the prof hated them.
I haven't used it and don't know how good it actually is, but I have browsed for insurance on the Healthcare Marketplace (aka Obamacare) and they set out some pretty strict levels of coverage, services, deductibles, etc. in a standardized way.

But most people don't participate in that market because it would be silly to when your employer gives you a group buy rate plus an extra employer-paid subsidy to incentivize you to be part of the group buy.
I wonder if today's metal future prices crashed for this reason.
if you mean the straight-forward nature of the code, I agree.

I think we over-complicate code today because we are promised ease of maintenance, or high-level declaration, or something else, and I don't think those promises have ever come true, except in very small textbook-type examples.
This is spot on. In fact, the number of people displaced by natural disasters (in large part driven by climate change) is already rising rapidly, but it doesn't really make the news because of where they live and what color their skin is.

My machine is a 2017 MacBook Pro, and I have Eero mesh wifi routers with a Hitron CODA modem from Rogers (I'm in Canada). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have little snitch running on my Mac but haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. I've played around with firewall settings on the modem and router, and have tried some of the Eero pro features. Nothing has helped.
Why? If it's over TLS you can trust it's being served by the owner of the website. You're having to trust the person who wrote the script anyway. And before anyone says "I'm going to inspect the shell script before I run it", do also note that its purpose is to download and run binaries that you are never going to inspect.
At least in my case, sample size: 6, we socialize with other parents of babies of a similar age. 2 other couples did sleep training and reported similarly good results, 3 other couples did not and report terrible sleeping habits. It costs nothing and takes a couple of weeks to implement, and the whole family reaps the benefits.

Do you have an argument against sleep training?
1. Lets say I already have a payment service provider I have negotiated with for my app. In India, for example, we have Unified Payment Interface that has zero fees for upto ~$1500 (USD) per transaction. Why should I be forced to use Apple's service? I am looking at this move by EU to push for change in Apple's behavior globally.

2. No one is forcing thirdparty app stores on users. You can continue to roam within the Apple walled garden appstore for eternity and no one is stopping you. It is only Apple that is forcing out thirdparty app stores from their rent-seeking monopoly and restricting consumer choice and developers' freedom in the garb of protecting users.
I’m not even thinking of anything as grandiose as a full simulation of the human, it could be as simple as mimicking the movements from a previous surgery using an overlay of the simulated robot arms.

It should be beyond dispute by now that societies where most people took action to increase social distance had far better outcomes.

Japan, South Korea and New Zealand all have less than 500 cumulative deaths per 100K, while the USA is north of 3,000.

And they've demonstrated that it's possible to achieve good results without "mass unemployment, homelessness and growing tent cities".

But instead of learning what works and adopting those methods, apparently we're going to continue propagating disinfo that there's nothing that can be done, and any attempt to do something is doomed to second order maladies.
Is it possible to build a third party YouTube search by scraping a) YouTube and b) the user’s watch history?

To me it seems like there’s some mid-to-low hanging fruit there. YT’s recommender fails to understand when a video is part of a series so often I almost have to think it’s intentional. Also recommending videos I’ve already watched in my homepage feed? What?

What bugs me the most is that it wasn’t always this bad. Somebody changed it a couple of years ago.

This is the problem String theorists have.

We will never, in the lifetime of anybody who guesses we ever existed, be able to build an accelerator powerful enough to check whether it is right about gravity. So, they potter and try to show this or that family of variations (among 10^500 imagined) does or doesn't contradict details of the Standard Model we have most confidence in.

This is definitely closer to what I meant then what I said haha. I've noticed for a while now that RedHat hadn't been picking up a lot of the newer features that systemd-* has been adding, though saying they're "too conservative" for it was probably a bad word choice.
There isn't a problem, except that nobody will take the other organization's contest especially seriously, or write its name into contracts.

> No serious climate scientist thinks we are going to fall off a cliff. There will be huge costs, yes. Civilization won't end, no.

I've read more than a couple of articles, linked to here on HN, of climate scientists claiming that this is indeed a civilization-ending cliff.

It's been mentioned like this in other media, for example in Cosmos 2. Yes, that's divulgation, but nonetheless, it means the scientists consulted for Cosmos 2 believe this.

edit: just googled Michael Shellenberger. He is not a subject matter expert on climate change, and Wikipedia describes him as "a controversial figure" among environmentalists, which means his position is not mainstream and probably shouldn't be used to state "no serious scientist believes...". Note: I'm not saying he is wrong, he could be right; it's just that his view is not mainstream for now.
It's bad because it means that the moment that third party engines are allowed on iOS, Google apps are going to be strongly accelerating Blink/Chrome hegemony. Apple should be required to fix problems with the default browser settings pane while Google should be barred from promoting or favoring Chrome with its other apps and services.
