For me the enjoyment fades only if the song itself is not very good to begin with; I start to notice the flaws and after a while I start to hate it and wonder why I even liked it in the first place. Good songs tend to pass the test of being listened to on repeat for me.
This was a great read! I've found triangulation so captivating, and I think it's because the word sounds like something made up from some James Bonds like movie.

I first learned about Delaunay Triangulation from a talk by a lead developer (James Anhalt, who is now at Frost Giant Studios) on Starcraft 2's pathing. https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1014514/AI-Navigation-It-s-Not The talk is on the older side now, but I still find it insightful. SC2 is over 12 years and its pathing is still considered the gold standard for RTS games. The SC2 Map editor will show the triangulation for a given map, which provided me a nice visualization when learning this topic. (in the map editor it's called "enable pathing mesh".)
this is the kind of business that would blow up on tiktok. it's a niche business and people would be captivated by the whole process. theres a guy with millions of followers and views from cleaning pools for example.

Ask HN: What's the definition of a bot in social media?
There is much discussion of the twitter deal and about bots in social media, what percentage of user accounts are bots, etc. It occurred to me that if that case gets into the courts there will need to be a definition of what a bot is or isn't in order to ascertain percentages of user accounts.

What is your definition for a social media bot? Does it include the number of humans able to use a single account (e.g. customer service)? Does it include intent behind the account (e.g. product announcements)? With the anonymity of online personas, how can someone determine bot-or-not?

Well, if the argument is that you can't get an abortion because it's a person in there, then there are two passengers in the car.

Though, giving up the right to abortion in exchange for driving the HOV Lane seems like a bad deal..
I really dislike this whole initiative and much prefer the patreon model.

One reason of course might be that i am listening to Jupiter Broadcast and Chris pushes this stuff hard, really annoying me with the constant talk about lightning and especially the boosts, which seem to take over half the show, because somehow he seems not to realize that the problem he has in getting regular supporters is the insane price he asks (last i looked about $2,50 per episode), but likes to give everyone several minutes of the show who sent him 20 cents.

But I think my misgivings go further than that and i am especially concerned about this taking over podcasts or even open source, because while I do understand that people need to eat, I think these two ecosystems especially thrive because so many people contribute to them without profit being their first motive. I would not ask people to do work for free, but I often find that that when profit comes into it, quality starts to suffer and ideals get lost.

Sure, lightning is in some ways similar to patreon etc. because it might still be user financed, but I feel the unpredictability of getting funds, the more attention focused model, will have similar effects on creators than other platforms with similar models do and I am mostly not fond of this.
Untrue both in general and in particular.

Most blockchains are worthless and have nothing in the way of transaction fees or indeed transactions. Doge is perfect for micropayments! This was a fad on reddit back in the day.

In particular, well, the title of the article says it all. If you have BTC, and you want to send a few sats and pay basically nothing, Lighting has existed for years and works just fine.

Edit: I don't think micropayments are such a great idea to begin with, but the arguments for that have nothing to do with the medium of payment: assuming a perfect micropayment system, people still won't want to use it for off-topic reasons.
Wrote thousands and thousands of lines of code on CP/M, back in the day - not on an Amstrad CPC back then, rather some other strange machine - but it opened the door for a lot of great work in the decades that followed.

In my retro collection I currently have a CPC6128 that boots CP/M and for which I have Turbo C and Turbo Pascal installed.

I prefer to run SymbianOS on it though - it has multitasking, a network stack and a working GUI. ;)
I started with Dr. Davis' recipe. It's described in his book "Super Gut" and is also available on his website [1]. My current method is a bit simpler:

- I buy full fat milk in a glass bottle so that I can make the yogurt directly inside without having to sterilize another container. I have had more success with UHT milk than pasteurized milk.

- I add two tbsp. (~40g) of my previous batch to one liter of milk. Close lid and shake.

- Put bottle in a pot of water, submerging most of the milk bottle. I leave the lid on, but untightened so that gas can escape.

- I add a sous vide "wand" to the pot and leave it for 24 hours at 38°C (100°F)

I deviate from Dr. Davis' recipe by not adding inulin to the milk and fermenting for a shorter duration. This probably results in fewer bacteria present in the final product, but the above takes me less than 5 minutes to prepare.

Thank you!! I'm super intrigued by the potential applications listed under "Data DAOs"(coming from an ML background :) ).

Do you have any recommendations as to the learning path I should take to be able to develop on the FVM? I've never coded in the web3 space before. Should I simply dive into the API docs and figure out what fundamentals I would need to learn and go from there? Or is there some pre-designed curriculum to get average SWEs up-to-speed with FVM and FileCoin in general? (For context, I've listened to many podcast episodes on IPFS/FileCoin ..etc and have a good understanding of the general gist of things).
It seems acquisition and merger wave of failed SPACs is started.

I'm a few years in and I haven't quit, but I probably should have.

I don't have a natural aptitude for this stuff. If it takes you 1x of grinding to learn some programming thing, it takes me 4x. Although aspects of it can be enjoyable, like when a whole project neatly comes together, or when someone gives me money for the app I made, I find it to be quite a soulless and artless "craft".

Nonetheless, I fell for the learn to code meme, I'm pretty invested at this point, I'm not half bad at it, I need some money, and this is the only lucrative skill I have, so I can't quit now.

Why would this cause legal issues? (assuming the author owns the rights to the images shown in the preview)

I can think of two related topics:

* Export restriction on encryption (does not apply here)

* YouTube's content policy on hacking tutorials (not applicable here either, since this is not YouTube)
Right, which makes the condescending tone of "if you don't know this company" even more egregious. They easily could've rephrased that to talk about ironsource's strengths without making a subconscious concession to the fact that 99% of their audience has never heard of this company they are MERGING with, not acquiring.
I think there are plenty of reasons other than self-censorship why someone choosing to write about a whole bunch of touchy political themes might think that someone interpreting a draft of their story in an entirely different light from the intended one might be a story problem rather than an editor problem. Especially if their response is to issue further drafts full of commentary on respective cultures, the virtues of national pride vs assimilation etc, not to drop it and write a story about saving the planet or talking tigers.
Similarly, it might be very pessimistic to assume a review awarding a story "Editor's Choice" is an attack on its appropriateness, not great idea, but a bit liable to misinterpretation in current form

Either way, the ending the author actually ended up with feels a lot stronger than it might have been had the protagonist concluded that rosy revisionist history actually was the solution to all a nation's problems or that he couldn't possibly feel any sense of belonging in the US.
I know lactos are in the environment naturally. When I ferment peppers or other vegetables I lightly rinse them to make sure some bacteria is left. Eating raw fruits and vegetables would certainly pass some bacteria to the gut.

I think magic links have some give/take depending on your product/platform/audience.

One major use case that comes up more frequently is onboarding an untrusted device with a trusted one. WhatsApp seems to have mastered this class of problem using the QR code. Typing in codes and clicking emailed links is nice until you feel your phone's camera instantly log you in on your laptop by scanning its screen. The obvious downside is that this is a chicken-egg situation and you have to already have one chicken (or egg) to make it work.
Would this mean that relooper etc. are no longer needed since you can just have all your basic blocks as functions and use tail calls to jump between them?

> Breed introduced an ordinance to approve the police [surveillance] policy last month in response to the high-profile retail thefts that were caught on camera in Union Square last November.

Isn't it strange? If crime drops, the answer is more surveillance. If somewhere, someone used encryption as one small part of a crime, the answer is more surveillance. And if crime is caught on camera, and the police do nothing about it, the answer is, again, more surveillance.
There is a long-form YouTube channel (DefunctLand) that has a lot of content about closed amusement parks and rides. It's a very good channel.

Honestly, if you're abusing it that way I'll probably be using error 400 for all semantically-invalid requests. This is also compliant with the definition.

> The 400 (Bad Request) status code indicates that the server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing).
I think “pay” is commonly understood to mean monetary, not adjusted for location, risk, time, or transportation cost, and understood to be stated in terms of total rather than hourly. Saying people are accepting lower pay to work remotely seems like a pretty objective way of describing the decision being made. What you’re describing are the motives, the fact that pay is not the whole picture. I don’t think we need to recast what “pay” means to understand that there’s more to be considered than just that.

> Mobile email clients use their own browser and cookie jar which consume the session cookie you're trying to put into the user's main browser. This results in users 'never staying signed in' and a lot of frustration.

The earliest Magic Links I remember using didn't have this problem, and this was before smartphones. The Link, back then at least, was only to authenticate that you can receive emails at a certain mailbox, not to authenticate whichever browser you used to open it. Your login attempt would keep the login (not logged-in) session open wherever you attempted to login from, while waiting for the Magic Link to be clicked on in the background. Whenever the Magic Link was clicked, irrespective of where it was clicked, your original browser session would stop waiting and log you in.

This also avoids the tedium of having to copy a link or code from one device/app to another. Just click, a browser tab/window opens for a short time, and then closes automatically after doing its job; you go back to wherever you attempted to log in, and simply proceed. This also simplifies post-login flows (like visiting a specific page you tried to access before being forced to login) in that such flows don't need to be tied to the Magic Link itself.
thank you Lapsa! (Peter, author here)
>And then you play politics with it for the next 50 years because any solution will have to take from one portion of the population to give to another.

Moving things to the "government" bucket doesn't in any way solve this. Try and cut something from the defense budget if you don't believe me.
I fail to see the correlation. Blaming Germany for everything is becoming a tiresome meme.
There was a period in my life when a mantra(?) of sorts was stuck in my head. Just a short phrase or word (I think actually for a long stretch the number "256" was stuck in my head). For reasons unknown to me I would repeat the phrase in my mind or under my breath — seemingly as a way to either keep focus on some current thought or to derail the current thought. I don't remember which.

I think I was under a lot of stress then — I have worked on a team or two where the project (and management) were stressful. So likely that is it.

(Also a tell: I began to notice my handwriting when I signed checks was deteriorating to something scrawly, uncontrolled — when I switched teams and made other changes in my life to reduce stress I found my signature return to the more graceful strokes I was used to.)

Musically, there is (still) often a song stuck in my head. But I put music on in the background nearly every day, seems to keep the song in my head moving along to something new....
This wouldn't be a problem if the Magic Link was used only to authenticate your original login session, and not to start a new session wherever it was opened. Like I mention here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32081608
Package with CamperBob2 got shipped to the hotel from Walmart.

CamperBob2 creates a FedEx pickup order.

CamperBob2 calls hotel saying that his plans got changed but he had ordered something that would be delivered to the hotel. And ask hotel to hand it FedEx pickup driver. CamperBob2 didn't have a reservation at the hotel.

The hotel hands the package to the FedEx pickup driver.

I am not an expert on how this scam works. But it happened two times. Usually, when we get something that is not in our name, we look it up to see if the guest is already in the house, and coming. The first few times we handed a few packages to FedEx with a name whom didn't have any reservation. As soon as we asked questions about it and held one package, it stopped. It started again after covid with the same pattern.
Great points! The deliverability (and delay) issue is the one I’ve found most challenging. For the others, here are some mitigations I’ve come across:

- instead of single use tokens, set them to expire within 60 mins

- to prevent spam/malware checkers signing in when following the links, have the magic link take you to a page with a sign in button to ‘complete’ the sign in process. And, optionally, add some JS that clicks it for you on page load. This is the same approach used for unsubscribe links.
How does crypto even get created, then? Like, those cryptography experts — they do roll their own crypto, and then it gets standardized as Blowfish/AES/Salsa20/etc. How did they learn to make ciphers that are "good enough" to use in production? Are those people special somehow, and it's not possible to become one of them?
"For the exposure" is a dangerous path. That said, there are a ton of ways in which writing, especially non-fiction, can be a loss leader for consulting, a day job, etc. I suppose it sucks a bit for others trying to make that writing their day job but I'm hardly going to campaign for gatekeeping all public authorship to protect those in the club.
I really enjoy not being part of the political process. I hope Gmail doesn't force it on me.
I'm not a big fan of the Saudi government, but people die in stampedes there EVERY year? As someone who follows the hajj closely, the last stampede was in 2015, and previously 2006. Not that these are insignificant, but they are a rarity considering some 2 million people descend into a small city over a 10 day period. And there have been commendable efforts to avoid a repeat.
>How did these island nations sustain themselves before ? In other words, what has changed that they can’t live off the land anymore? And by that, I mean the sea.

Well the chemical fertilizer ban means no living off the land. ~85% of the farms are expected to fail or have failed.

>Has Sri Lanka’s fish been pillaged? Is it being exported to wealthier nations that command higher prices, even as there is a domestic food crisis?

No, they have tremendous inflation(54.6%) and therefore fishermen cant afford fuel to go get those fish. Major fuel shortages means no eating food in sri lanka.

>How much of this is because of globalism and developing hard dependencies? I’ve traveled to all 47 of Japan’s prefectures and I still see bountiful agriculture in the countryside. Even as developed and wealthy as Japan is, with many global dependencies in imports/exports, it is still heavily invested in agriculture.

It's not dependencies persay but rather yes globalists are entirely at fault. This is the work of Davos/WEF.

https://www.sundaytimes.lk/180902/news/pm-this-is-how-i-will...

This used to be an article on WEF but they deleted it because obviously WEF is responsible for what is happening in Sri Lanka 100%.

The funny thing about the WEF conspiracies or for that matter the sri lanka politicians didnt see the trap they were falling into. Personally I dont believe WEF has done anything, they just convince stupid politicians to do stupid things.

Sri Lanka believed and even achieved an ESG score of over 95, beating most countries.
Can any of these decompilers make effective use of a Microsoft PDB file, if I have one, to include original symbols in the decompiled output? What I'd really like to do with a decompiler is feed it a final compiled EXE or DLL of my own code and see what it looks like after it's been run through whole-program optimization. In that case, of course, I have a PDB file.
It looks like it. I am not related to any brain studies so naturally I can not go deep into the topic. The main thing I wonder about here is does this redundancy mechanism come for free or does it come at the cost of some other (possibly untapped) potential?
I am not a chemist so maybe I am naive here. My understanding is that lead additives were necessary to "fake" higher octane content (and the 0.1% lead additive is much cheaper than the 99% octane). Why can't we just go back to expensive high-octane fuels instead of adding lead (or just use the various alternative additives used in other high-performance engines)?

Edit: an internet search tells me that avgas has an octane rating of 100... So why can't we just use actual pure octane in these engines?
