I had the same thing happen in melodics (a finger drumming educational app), went over midnight, lost the streak and just mentally gave up on it. Duolingo (that I have the pro version of) does the same thing, but it 'froze' it for me after the fact, so I kept going. Weird how the motivation can switch to demotivation literally overnight.
If the same copyright laws that apply to the music of Bob Dylan now, had applied to all the music Bob Dylan ripped off there would be no Bob Dylan.

Copyright is a bane to human culture.
I have written some information sites in vite and must commend it as the best tool I have used for a very long time.
Just curious is this 8 year streak for 1 language? What % completion are you for a the language? Do you consider yourself proficient?
React era is long.
Trademarks exist to eliminate confusion between competing products. Your welding service should not be confused with my welding service. Because Disney does not offer welding services, they are not competitors, and confusing one competing product for the other is not possible. Therefore, any trademarks Disney has in the entertainment industry ought not apply.
What you want is a disjunctive number, also called rich number or universe number.

It is an infinite number where every possible sequence of digits is present, and therefore, such a number contains the code of a self aware program, as well as the complete description of our own universe (hence the name "universe number") and even the simulation that runs it, if such things exist.

We don't know if pi is a disjunctive number, for what we know, though unlikely, the decimal representation of pi may only have a finite number of zeroes. It means we don't have the answer to your question.
The math is internally represented as a tree for display and editing. Most of the performance critical code is the numeric evaluation when graphing. For that, the math is compiled to a linear byte code which vastly improves locality of reference and is an opportunity to apply optimizations such as common subexpression elimination and loop invariant code motion.
Ask HN: Which book would you pick to re-read for the rest of your life?
If you could never read a new book in your life, and only had one book to re-read once a year, which would you pick, and why?

(Feel free to substitute “the next 10 years“ for “the rest of your life“.)
Not “as”, it’s “or”
Because until we get mind uploading, there aren't enough smart people to cover everything (e.g. even though Tao knows way more math than the average mathematician, I have solved interesting math problems that are simply not in his or in any other genius's immediate interests).
It does, but fyi vite cli has built in support for Svelte, and you can bootstrap a project really easily if you don't need all the "stuff" that sveltekit provides:

npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template svelte-ts
Engineers generally use pi=e=3.

(Obviously not exclusively; there are times for more precision)

Four digits is almost always more than you need, though. If you need more, you probably:

- failed to make something balanced

- missed an opportunity to have something be self-calibrating

- used open-loop instead of a feedback system

- didn't taper a hole

- are measuring the wrong thing

- ... or similar.
Yes? The longer something is public for, the less it is “yours”: people start making it their own, whether through remixes and recreations or just stories they want to create. It is good for society to allow ideas that have permeated public consciousness to be built on top of without worrying about legal repercussions.
Second this. esbuild is just enough.
Thank you! I can't believe that was thirty years ago. It feels unreal.
Duolingo can absolutely get you reading and listening. Which is let's say half the battle.

I think it's too dramatic to say it's a "real problem" with it! Anybody who intends to become fluent in a language is going to need to practice actually speaking and writing.
Yes. Actually no, not disable, I use Local-Local, there's a rare application here and there that needs to see an IPv6 stack is available then connects normally over IPv4. Google and anyone touting IPv6 can take IPv6 and have a nice day.
Everything in the notebook is open-source. It mainly uses the following projects:

txtai workflows can be containerized and run as a cloud serverless function - https://neuml.github.io/txtai/cloud/
For a second there I thought you were talking about EDS. Wouldn't surprise me if it was some other HP acquisition though.
I wonder what a fix would be? Maybe reset every 30 days and have a separate counter for the number of completed months that doesn’t reset if you fail.
Sourcegraph CEO here. We make a popular code search/intelligence product that partially competes with this (referenced many times in the comments here). Right now, most devs don't use code search or know why it's great. GitHub's new code search is introducing many more devs to code search, and that is helping us.

Devs win when Sourcegraph and GitHub compete. And yes, Microsoft/GitHub will compete fiercely with us--and we'll compete back. Devs should cheer on the competition, rather than let Microsoft/GitHub get complacent.

There are 2 situations where Sourcegraph shines:

1. When you use something many times daily, then you need/deserve the best. We're 100% focused on being 100x better: speed, precise/cross-repo code nav, comprehensive result sets, all branches/commits, more code metadata, all code hosts (GitLab+Bitbucket+any others), way more languages, batch changes, insights, etc. GitHub's code search will be a good place to start if you're new to code search, but Sourcegraph is and will continue to be better for devs who rely on code search frequently, which in my experience is most devs once they get hooked on code search. :) (If we aren't much better than GitHub code search, we don't deserve to exist. Please give us direct feedback on how we can be better--the more competition Microsoft/GitHub feels, the better for everyone!)

2. For companies whose needs differ from what GitHub's core userbase wants, such as self-hosted deployment, single-tenant/managed-instance cloud deployment, massive codebases, numerous repositories, many languages, many code hosts, custom integrations, heavy API usage, etc.

Whether you use Sourcegraph or GitHub, we'll keep improving Sourcegraph to keep up the competitive pressure on GitHub to continue improving their code search. Everyone wins. :)
Which web framework has been the frontrunner for 7 years? jQuery?

According to the latest Stack Overflow survey[0], the most popular is React, which hasn't been the top for the last 7 years. And I wouldn't call jQuery the obvious choice before that, as it's been consistently fading in popularity.

I have privacy settings ramped up for their website, so it doesn't track my streaks. My behavior has been to come back to it sporadically, maybe once or twice a week. Could be better long term behavior from a developer perspective.
Anecdata, but I completed the whole french duolingo tree and kept my whole tree "gold" the whole time, and I still don't feel like I'm proficient in french at all. I thing duolingo can be a good addition to another language learning system, but on its own I think it's next to useless
It isn’t about “knock-off” Mickey Mouse products. It’s about anyone being able to re-tell culturally important stories. I would argue that we do not want a society where a single company/entity is the only one legally allowed to create stories using characters and settings that are important to the society.

As for “knockoff” products. Imagine where Disney would be if the Brothers Grimm had maintained copyright over the stories they put into writing.
Hey, author here. This is built on the nostr[1] protocol which has many advantages over activitypub. I highly recommend reading the readme on the github for motivation on why we would need yet another decentralized social media protocol.

That's great that you as an individual have the knowledge/capability but simple observation shows that doesn't make a difference in practice

Canada:
>Growing cannabis (either growing their own or having it grown for them by someone else) was a supply-source for 14.2% of consumers in 2020

I can't find stats on tobacco users who grow their own supply for Canada because I suspect it's vanishingly small next to that 14.2%
There’s always problems and always friction. The new shiny doesn’t always help. But I do feel happier when I am able to move to the next level of problem. To spend my time wrestling with more meaningful challenges and less trivialities. Better tooling can help with that, although to make it a reality your org needs to see “increase quality” as the first step in “delivering more”

I re-read LotR, one volume a day, every day in 5th grade. Speed reading practice. Have re-read it several times since then, it still holds up.
Next.js has a marketing blurb about hot-reloading "at Facebook scale" on the website. I didn't know what this could mean, but apparently someone has been thinking about it!

The build is neither working nor not working. In fact, it isn't even built!
Duolingo is best when you're the average American, with a few years of language courses in high school that you've half forgotten. As you go, it all kinda fills in. I tried learning Arabic from scratch and while it's fantastic for learning the alphabet and memorizing words, it became obvious fast that I'd need to do some reading outside the app.
The copyright would only be for the original mickey as it appeared in 1928, not more modern representations.

Also I'm sure "Mickey Mouse" is trademarked.

This is going to be one of those things where being on the right side of the law is meaningless. No publisher is going to touch a Mickey Mouse kids book by a 3rd party author even if the thing is plastered with "Not affiliated with Disney Corp" from cover to cover and watermarked on each page.
I think OP was pointing to a potential starting point of the raise in prices and decoupling it from the actual services rendered. Something I think is very likely given that now there are a lot of examples where things are comparable quality with much lower prices. It might not be exactly WWII, but it certainly was caused by some factors not tied directly to the quality of the services.
>If people aren’t working with a sense of urgency as BAU that a management failure?

If you're doing successfully as a business, you don't need hair on fire urgency all the time. The fact management theory seems to encourage wringing every last drop out of people by setting up a Welchian press is more a consequence of one particular generation's psychotic approach to worker relations.

Furthermore, on average, your business should be successful with majorly average performers. No business should be a hot house flower that requires the creme-de-la-creme just to get by. Self-sustaining businesses with strong product market fit practically run themselves.

The normalization of crunch and "grinding" of labor of the past few decades has been one of the most pathological social dynamics I've been alive to see.

For online voting, someone can log into the site/app and then hand their device to someone who bribed or threatened them. For an in person vote, you can mark the ballot one way and then tell someone you voted another way.

Also, anything done with computers is easier to automate, so you could take over a million devices with a virus, or just hack into the server where all the votes were stored.
I know it's been repeated a million times by now, but NAT is not a replacement for a firewall. Most residential routers are deny in by default so you get zero incoming connections from the internet unless you open the relevant ports, exactly as with NAT.
I've disabled it on my router. My reasoning is that I don't know what kind of firewall rules, if any, the router has for ipv6 traffic. If it's just going to forward any valid incoming ipv6 dst address, that would seem like a new risk. I'm happy to be convinced otherwise by knowledgeable folks.
After a reasonable period, yes. When a design, character, idea, enters public consciousness, it contributes and (hopefully) enlightens the community. While it should be easy and inexpensive for you to introduce that and gain from it early on, it should become more expensive as you gain more from it, and as it gains more value to the community.

So much IP is deeply ingrained in our culture and is owned seemingly indefinitely by corporations. And there are plenty of examples of those corporations abusing their legal ownership to prevent the public from enjoying its adoption of that property.
Apple purchase sharing is not working in India
I'm not the grandparent poster but I'll ask the question in a non-superflous way:

Is this actually better than Webpack and esbuild/Parcel/Rollup/whatever that came before it? Or is it just another opinionated way of packaging stuff up that's faster because it doesn't support 10% of the feature set the other tools do yet?

Looking at the "Why Vite" page, most of the blurbs are basically saying "Existing tools are slow". Well, I bet those existing tools are probably capable of doing 10x of what Vite can do currently. And how much faster IS Vite when bundling a large project? Nothing on that, only some charts with lines saying that they do it differently. They say 10-100x speedup on "prebundling", but if that part of the build is only a small portion of the overall build it might be negligible. Also, they say it's faster because Go. Well I kind of like the dogfooding of all the build tools for JS being written in JS - why introduce a whole new ecosystem here?

Not trying to be a naysayer here, I'm just asking why mindshare should be devoted to yet another project that looks like reinvention of the wheel and starting the cycle anew again when we could instead contribute mindshare to existing mature projects - the reasoning given on the site doesn't seem to be very compelling.
Sourcegraph CEO here. I posted my thoughts on the positioning. Code search for Microsoft/GitHub is not a winner-take-all proposition unlike many of their other products (eg Microsoft Teams vs. Slack), so the analogy is a bit different. A lot of code lives outside of GitHub, thanks to developers historically having more freedom and choice. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31968184. Would love your thoughts on this.
Sure - ZFS[1] is one example that springs to mind.

Those acquirer-side incentives do seem rational (and to some extent traditional) in a business sense.

The risk-mitigation I mentioned was from the perspective of users, not so much of the acquisition target (although it could reassure their employees to know that the time and effort they invested continues to provide value).

[1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS
Xe/Christine never claimed V had to be polished on release. That's patently ridiculous. What they said was: the original features were not called out as being goals, so they took them as features that (obviously) didn't work. Those claims were eventually marked as "WIP" or whatever, which is exactly what Xe wanted. No one is claiming an alpha/beta doesn't have bugs, but V promoters like yourself claim any reminder of V's prior actions are saying that.

IMO, V has made great strides since the initial release, but none of Xe's claims were inaccurate. All Xe's first post ("V is for Vaporware") did was call out the website as being misleading.

Sure, people could see that it's a 0.x release and know it's an alpha/beta, but that's not the point! It didn't say that the features were WIP until after Xe's post. Compare vlang.io two days before Xe's post[0], and the day after their post[1] (notice the addition of "WIP" markers and a new paragraph about 1.0 above the fold).

It also doesn't help that any time a post about V comes up, people try to explain these things, but the author and people like you refuse to acknowledge it. What most people want is for V to admit the website was misleading at the beginning, but it is now a bit more clear. What we get instead are conspiratorial claims of brigading to destroy V. Unless people can point to some Discord or Reddit group that actually does conspire to destroy V, it's a hoax. As much as the author wishes, posting negatively about V because of its past is not a conspiracy.

There's a big conflator here with the industrial revolution then. Note that the 1860s and early 1870s was also a transition decade from an agrarian hereditary nobility to industrial capitalist nationalism in many other countries (notably: U.S. Civil War 1861-1865, German war of unification 1871, Italian war of unification 1871, Meiji restoration in Japan 1868). It's more likely that the economic development leading from the railroad, the oil well, the steel foundry, and the steamship led to capitalists winning seats in Parliament and pushing for policies to benefit their workforce, rather than the Queen's mourning leading to missing debutante balls and the peerage losing their influence.

It's not though. It goes through a router which has a firewall, which is the exact feature you're presumably wanting from a NAT but without any of the annoying downsides.

Can we have a less flamey discussion of self driving cars?
I know that righteous indignation is the new national pastime, but I would find it a lot more interesting to hear a more nuanced discussion from this community on the topic of self-driving.

Some questions that come to mind:

- Would it contribute positively to our world if competent self driving existed?

- What are the various approaches to get from here to there, and what are their relative merits and risks?

- Assuming some approach showed promise, how should we expose it to real world conditions to allow for validation and ongoing improvement?

- Do the technically-savvy folks on this list think that a heuristic approach (i.e. a bunch of rules written by humans) could ever succeed at effective self driving in diverse conditions? Or is the machine learning + massive data approach more likely to solve it? Or do you consider it fundamentally unsolveable?

- What interesting moral and legal questions arise if effective self-driving becomes available?

- What might be the economic and environmental ramifications of a world with ubiquitous “robotaxis”?

Anyone care to pick one and take a swing at it?
No, you haven't read the link he posted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number#Definitions: "A disjunctive sequence is a sequence in which every finite string appears. A normal sequence is disjunctive". If Pi is normal, then it is also disjunctive.

I once saw (and used) a similar feature on Mac: pressing some key combination during boot allowed you to wipe and reinstall OS from Internet. Not sure how exactly it was implemented, though, but I agree it would be cool if BIOS had a feature where you could type an URL to ISO and it would download and boot it.

Thanks for your valuable feedback, politelemon!

The 'Private policy' issue should be fixed, thanks for pointing that out ;)

It makes sense that one would think that the orange lozenges are clickable. I will make them clickable and link them to the respective components. I agree that users might otherwise get confused.

Regarding the font size of the code samples I could implement some sort of zoom functionality, so that the user can enlarge the font size if necessary. That's also a good point.

Unfortunately I don't understand your first point (the broken components page). Could you maybe elaborate and describe the issue again? At first sight, the page looks normal to me in Firefox.

Thanks for taking the time to look at it!
