Exactly, that's why I noted "Unless in the Chess industry ...", the details of which I don't know. I only know a bit about general game making (I've tried Godot and GameMaker, some friends make games and we talk) so this was my opinion from a more general game point of view.

But still, from that Wikipedia description "a chess engine is a computer program that analyzes chess or chess variant positions, and generates a move or list of moves that it regards as strongest" that's what I mean, the chess.js package does all of this except the last step (analyzing the strongest). So it seems in the industry it's a mix between the "logic gameplay" and "AI", and this article is still only about the "AI/Automaton".
Whether or not you think people should have guns is a separate issue from using social media vetting to prevent people from exercising constitutionally-protected rights.

If they tried to do this with voting, would you compare with other countries where it's still harder to vote?
Does this provide any historical data like daily max, min temperatures? Quality historical weather data would be great to have in this.
We mostly have criminals shooting other criminals.

Schools shootings are insanely rare.

More males dies of breast cancer than all people who die in mass shootings.

Mass shootings just get lots of press. But they’re super rare.
Not a fan of the guy at all, but if this report is correct it’s just good management, not news. Of course you prefer to eject the worst people when trimming the fat. And there’s a lot of fat there.

One thing that has interested me is that my friends are half Chinese nationals who just quietly plod along with no interest in their FAANG jobs, and half highly motivated Westerners who love to talk shop. During the last 2 big meltdowns in 2000 and 2008 no one in either group was affected.

> how does a changed sales team cause features to dwindle and bugs?

I can think of at least two ways:

1. In many companies, sales is an important part of the window to the customer. Sales interprets customer desires and forwards them to product management.

2. If revenue drops, the company may need to cut costs too, and one stupid way to do this is to reduce development spending.
A good friend of mine once told me: "You can be a great mother or a great career woman. You can't be great at both." She's now a SVP at a well-known company, but got there by making a conscious decision to forgo raising a family of her own. You seem like a very busy person, so I have to ask: are you prepared to give it all up? Or are you just looking to check off a box of life's accomplishments, like a project manager sifting through the backlog in a frantic panic? Because if you're out of story points to assign you can't do it all.

Are you prepared to be the young lady I saw in the grocery store this evening - holding an infant in one arm and pushing the shopping carriage with the other, with a sweaty look of defeat on her face? If the answer is no, then don't have children. Sadly I think you have bought into the myth that you can have your cake and eat it too. I'm sure someone will reply with countless examples of how it is possible, but I ask are those examples of great parents, or are they examples of people who own children? Having a child and raising a family is a lifelong commitment. You need to give it your all. If you're doing it for the wrong reasons, bragging rights, because it was a life 'goal' etc.; the child, and by extension society, will suffer for it. You can still have a very fulfilling life.

My personal opinion - outsourcing your child's rearing to a full time nanny or dumping them off to childcare as many busy people do - is harmful to the child's development. Anecdotally speaking, some of the most successful people I know also have some of the most f--ked up kids I've ever seen. It's because they're never around to raise and discipline them properly.
True story:
About three months ago, I saw a Tesla exiting a fast food establishment, pull in front of a normal big yellow school bus. The school bus slammed on brakes and blasted the horn.

> and the state management ecosystem is fractured between vuex and pinia

What do you mean fractured? They official recommend Pinia: https://vuejs.org/guide/scaling-up/state-management.html#pin...

> Storybook 'out of the box' is broken and doesn't work at all (unable to resolve '@/...' imports). It's been painful.

So you're blaming Vue because of bad experience with storybook?
This is the experience for many in the Navy trying to navigate broken personnel pay processes. Due to cost cuts and failed IT efforts, a lot of the staff at personnel offices that have to process things like pay transactions and travel reimbursements are entry level, and the organization suffers from high turnover to boot.

This means that Sailors with enough experience in the Navy are usually better off bringing copies of pertinent references and Navy instructions, especially if they have any kind of unusual case, so that they can hand-walk the clerk through the process that needs to be followed.
I was questioning why WeatherKit needs a "platform-specific Swift API" at all.

If the general REST API in Swift is good then WeatherKit can be integrated into Swift apps as easily as any other service. If it's not easy then improvements to the general REST API could be considered.
If you're building a site or something, why would you use WeatherKit's REST API rather than using something like OpenWeatherMap?
Apple has continued to take on services third parties previously used to exploit the private information of Apple’s customers.

This includes Apple Card, but also the recently introduced multi-week payment options Apple is offering to buy its products. (Previously offered by other services “for free.”)

I have no doubt that Apple is looking at how data is leaking across the ecosystem and is seeking to stop it as much as possible.

I’m curious to see what else is in the works.
They are all around us, no one wants to admit they bought the lie though.
In non-western cultures, the primary goal of 'dating', if you can call it that is marriage, and the primary goal of marriage is to have kids.

Lol relationships shouldn't be looked at as "achievements" or something to put on a resume or require "work"/labor, at least good relationships. Going that route is gonna lead to many things lacking.

I mean go ahead with your plan, but if that's been your "strategy" for however long and you're still single and without the trophy kids, you're "strategy" is severely flawed and obviously not working.
Disappointing that there's no mention of infinities.

How do you teach a computer to think in symbolic terms about Cantor's concepts of infinity? There's no computational representation for irrational numbers, and barely for rational numbers. Even floating-point representations are a long-standing problems - and integers? Overflows are a problem, even just signed integers are a problem.

The pencil-and-paper mathematicians and their symbolic representations of infinities, will computers and AI ever come to grasps with that?

Ask HN: How to find clients interested in Elasticsearch?
Elasticsearch in principle offers a lot of potential, I really like the result and fast interactivity but finding the exact cases where that volume of data is necessary with a client willing to support it in a production environment is difficult.

All I found is a few full time positions.
It would be great if I could find a client/startup that would accept a contract position to build with Elasticsearch in a dev environment.

the ideal use case would be a large volume of data for few users.

I have other projects that I am working on, and I'm looking for something more flexible than a permanent position.

Theres a few nice lightweight CSS/JS frameworks like mdl.io and bootstrap that are still relevant, react apps get lost in a mess of callback caches and useEffect, unclear side effects seem to happen on rendering in most large react apps.

I developed some games like https://github.com/lee101/wordsmashing in a fairly simplistic jquery style i developed where i purposefully avoid using features of JS like "this", it trips most developers up when you pass functions around and the reference to "this" gets lost.

Agree with lots of the comments here about complexity of both JS (new es module compatibility issues etc) and JS frameworks that are limiting what people can actually build these days from cognitive overload and bugs.

a tonne of technologies (like polymer.io/web components) died in a sea of complexity and much technology we use is going to go the same way unfortunately.

Another gripe i think unpopular but true is that we as coders prefer complex things like static site generators like Jekyll/ghost etc, normal people can use a CMS and get stuff done without having to resolve packaging conflicts and SSL issues, we have to resist the urge to pretend coding/setting up complex software is easy because its not... also Kubernetes...
I haven't heard of any medical related ones, but there have been cases where an adult shot their boss, or a judge that had ruled against them or a cop that had arrested them. These just don't get the press coverage, for whatever reason.
Your lack of a response to the majority of my comment could be construed as you arguing in bad faith. The distortion here is of your own.

People are free to disagree with the personal choices free citizens make. People are not free to impose their beliefs on others and force them to carry or birth a parasite through coercion or force. Any conversation about forcing women to birth anything that does not include radical changes to:

healthcare, social safety net, the best parental leave laws in the world, wide carve outs for incest, rape, medical problems, birth defects, litter reduction, to name a few things

is a blatant exposition of the moral bankruptcy of the forced birthers seeking to impose their ideals on others through governmental violence. I haven’t met a forced birther yet that’s thought through all the complications of their grand scheme and come out the other side still a forced birther. Typically they just get mad and devolve into all sorts of fallacious statements, sometimes they storm off, and I’ve walked a few level headed people through enough of the realities of forced birth for them to autonomously realize that such laws cause so much suffering and cost so much in real economic and tax dollar terms that forced birth is regressive and will make the states it takes effect in worse places in all important measures like: infant mortality, student test scores, parental homicide, violent crime, etc— because the research on these topics is unanimous. Access to contraception whether condoms or third trimester abortions is an essential right to maintaining and strengthening a modern society. Anyone that doesn’t want to live in modern society is free to go build an island and reinvent the conservative turned libertarian ascent into liberalism wheel.
While I don't deal with the ui too much (and hate the area / complexity), the best system I've seen so far is .net's WPF with MVVM pattern. You wire up the ui elements to models and things just work. Data dependencies are explicit, useless redraws are not happening if you schedule the changes on the right thread, the whole system can raise a coherent "binding error" rather than explode. It's definitely a solution I hate the least.

Several years ago I built a chess engine in C, based on various ideas gleaned from the chessprogramming wiki [1]. I haven't looked at in a while, but that wiki was an extraordinarily useful resource.

I didn't write a better stockfish or anything, but I was surprised that it didn't take too long to write a chess engine that could routinely beat me at chess.

I'll also note that chess protocals are very standardized, and it was straightforward to attach the engine to one of the many chess GUIs out there (I used Chess Arena and scid). This was a great project and I highly recommend it.

On a related topic, I've been scratching my head over an ipv6 config issue using Openwrt on my router and Fedora Linux as the client. If I configure my client to use SLAAC all works well - it gets an address and default gateway. If I configure the client to use DHCP it gets an address but no default gateway. I can see via packet dump that the client doesn't send a router solicitation when configured for DHCP ... Is this working as designed? How is a DHCP client supposed to get a default gateway if not via RA?
Some software can be written on a raspberry pi. Truly accessible software should be able to run on anything, for example, government web sites. Someone on here developed a site that a homeless person was able to submit a form using a PSP.
Those are tutorials :) which are useless without api doc/spec and visa versa.
That example has nothing to do with modules. It doesn't even use templates (where concepts would help at least) or the "noexcept(noexcept(...))" thing.

Modern C++ does help with most type specification, looping over containers, writing constructors and making value classes. It's definitely not all bad, but there's still a lot of boilerplate to C++.
It's more along the lines of "I won $1 million dollars, not $100 million."
> Practically, Britain should just offer citizenship to Hong Kongers...

Well, if the UK wanted to, they would have done it before 1997 but they chose to give the majority a chance to apply for a BNO passport which was literally a slap in the face. No right to live and work in the UK when you are a 'British National Overseas'.

Even when they let BNO passport holders apply for the right to live and work in the UK recently, they could pick and choose who they wanted to let in.

BNO passport = joke of the century
pretty incredible results. between this and the radiation issue, it makes me question the viability of long term lunar or martian colonies without some serious advanced in genetic engineering. i'd also be curious of the long terms effects on the heart and circulatory system in low gravity without the strenuous exercise regiment that astronauts have to do. if a future colonist slacked off on exercising for a month would they be able to return to earth and function normally?
Probably not true, but only just. 570 men die of breast cancer each year in the US (latest stats from the Cancer Statistics Center) while 330 people have died in mass shootings in the US this year so far.

At least to a 3rd party, it’s literally impossible to know why a colleague asks another to “slow down” without more context. I would however highly, highly recommend you 1) ask the colleague, softly, what they meant and 2) ask your manager about the situation.

For context, reasons I have asked colleagues to “slow down”:

- they were making many mistakes or suboptimal choices, sometimes really bad mistakes, and weren’t correcting when given feedback. Most of these cases, they seemed blissfully unaware of the work they were creating and the negative value they were adding.

- they were good engineers, but obviously burning out and miserable, which made it hard to give any criticism or suggest alternate approaches. See also “heroes”, the always-mega-swamped, and the perennially grumpy (these are different classes, but can be mixed). They also weren’t always aware of their effect on others.

- they were sidelining other peoples views and autonomy, demanding changes in other peoples components, making decisions outside their scope and domain of expertise, informally managing other folks work who were perfectly capable. This was usually done with a nice professional sheen — for example, “demanding changes” often takes the form of 1) writing full on features in another component, 2) making their own work kinda depend on that feature, 3) (finally) starting a very late convo with the maintainer of that component and putting them in a rough spot if the change was a bad idea from a broader perspective. Again, usually unaware.

It’s very easy to make the above mistakes — I have, most engineers probably have teetered, and I’ve seen it a bunch in my relatively short career.

I can say, I have never asked someone to slow down when they were hitting home runs, collaborating well, and making me look bad (please, I love to work with folks I can learn from, that’s engineering). It has always been a complex but totally salvageable performance problem I’m trying to guide back on track.
If you need to include graphs or equations in a presentation or document, Graphing Calculator provides vectorized versions of both which scale and print beautifully.

It’s been a while, but I wrote a few different “slow start” functions for a load balancer and used Graphing Calculator to not only illustrate the behavior, but also show which parameters were tunable.

Tom Waits had a severe drinking problem in his early years. He bounced around playing piano in dive bars and generally led a hard life until he become successful and quit drinking. He knows a thing or two about heartbreak, so when advertisers use phrases like "The heart break of running out skin cream" he mutters to himself that most people don't know real heart break. Peter Higgs describing his life as "ruined" evoke a similar reaction in me because I've been homeless and drug addicted.

Not every good engineer is going to be best suited for maximal growth for their particular career by starting a company.

First of all, risk adjusted reward/liquidity almost always favors just doing really, really well as an engineer -> engineering leader at a FAANG or a tier or two down. You'd have to really knock it out of the park with a company you start for it to be financially better for you than simply building and riding out a great career at a FAANG.

Second, many parts about starting and running a company run in different directions or even directly counter to the kind of fulfillment you can achieve by being a good engineer at a strong engineering organization. This is probably the much more important point. If running a company well is something that truly makes you happy -- happier than all the other things you could be doing, and you can stomach the intense resource investment it takes to become successful, then it's worth it.

But that's rarely the case. If you ask a lot of people who run companies who are more on the honest/humble side of things why they run companies, they'll tell you the same thing: "I'm not very successful at working for other people." That's not just them being humble. There's a lot of truth to that. And the other side of that truth, is that for people who are a little better at doing that, there's an enormous amount of very well compensated and highly intellectually stimulating work that can be done in the world of big tech.

For most if not all of the best engineers I know, they have great deals at great companies being well compensated ICs and player-coaches. Why start your own company when you could just walk in making a guaranteed low to mid 7 figures TC with the same level of autonomy at a sure thing?

There are all kinds of potential performance benefits to a native SDK. Cross app caching for such common data could be a huge boon for watchOS complications & Home/Lock Screen widgets, for instance.

No idea if they are implementing those kinds of enhancements but it’s no surprise that a native SDK would be provided.

Also, how would they implement the privacy preserving black box location implementation with a REST API? There is no need for the app to ask for or receive specific location details by using this SDK.
