I was in a college research experiences for undergraduates program in 2007, and Tower Defense games were incredibly popular among my peer group. I'd compare it to Angry Birds or perhaps Flappy Bird in terms of how it was seemingly everywhere for a time.

An interesting contrast was Flappy Bird popularity seemed to come out of nowhere, and was rationalized in retrospect, whereas the Tower Defense genre was the opposite. Its intrinsic interestingness seemed obvious at the time, but in retrospect I can't understand it.
Sure. When prior decisions are “unworkable or are badly reasoned,” then the Supreme Court may not follow precedent, and this is “particularly true in constitutional cases.” [0] But the prior decision was certainly workable, since it had been working for almost 50 years. And it certainly wasn’t too badly reasoned, since the same reasoning was applied to many other cases — situations which also were quite workable, since they were an expansion of rights, not a circumscription of them. If anything, the court created an unworkable situation by ruling the way it did; it has created chaos in the medical field for half of the states.

In my not-so-humble experience, having taken lots and lots of tests, the easiest way, by far, to pass them is to learn the material.
That's not what happened. Gaiman and Pratchett outlined a sequel to the Good Omens novel when they were at a comic book convention together in 1989, were sharing a room, and couldn't sleep. Aside from that outline they were never working on it together as they were busy with their own projects. Gaiman dug up this outline and is turning it into a second season of the show.
It's not just drones - US leveled cities too, like Raqqa, or started wars based on fabricated evidence that killed more people than current war in Ukraine.

That doesn't seem particularly unreasonable or even notable, other than the silly comment about the laptop vs. notebook label. Around that time all the laptops I remember got ridiculously warm. It was in the zeitgeist that men shouldn't use laptops on their lap because the heat could damage sperm quality. Everyone had those laptop trays with extra fans in them for using them on their lap.
Everyone who does anything online should be required to hang out on some black hat internet forums and marketplaces.

It really opens up your eyes to the sheer size of the fake account and bot traffic, market. It makes you skeptical of everything you see online.

You can buy verified Twitter accounts, blue check mark accounts, Facebook ad accounts, Google AdSense/AdWords accounts, Amazon accounts, and more bot traffic than you can imagine. All for a few hundred dollars at most.

I wonder what the internet would really look like if there was no bot traffic, fake clicks, and fake accounts.

my wife and I have been increasingly buy on Target, HomeDepot and other sites to buy things because the brands are much more likely to have a legit business backing them up.

Generally too one of the causes of this craziness is that we keep outsourcing our manufacturing to China. China is only making these items because a much larger American company like OXO has them making really awesome kitchen items (for example) So it's not that hard for the same factory to create a series of shell companies that also sell the OXO stuff. I mean how hard is it to copy and paste the ads that the legit companies make and sell directly?

If we didn't outsource everything then it wouldn't be happening.

Totally agree, thanks for your thoughts. I would add more languages for the enterprise, the purpose of which was to make money, such as Solidty, Java, Rust .. development tools are unreasonably complex, like the core of bitcoin, but this allows you to earn more at the expense of great complexity.

However, PLDB showed 4200 programming languages and a choice between thousands of programming languages.

I tried to build a better programming language and solved some of the problems from the list of requirements:

2. multiprocessing

3. AI

4. visually

5. Profit!

I don't see anything unusual there, there was a big spike in Q2 2020 obviously, and a matching dip in Q3 2020, which causes havoc with change in a short time, but the average seems about in the ballpark of the 2012-2020 range.
Aside from the filing fees, what financial risks are there?

For example, counter claims for damages, including but not limited to, the attorney fees of the opposing party.

PayPal doesn't allow to open another claim on the same charge, though.
Or have fines proportional to the damage that cancellation causes. If I planned a vacation around being able to stay at your property and you cancel last minute, you've got to pay for reasonably comparable alternative accommodations. If none exist, refund me the cost of my plane ticket and any non refundable excursions I've already booked. If they can't guarantee their property will be available with high enough probability to risk those costs, why would I want to risk those costs while booking it?

> Wait. I thought lazy evaluation is defined as evaluation at the time a value is needed.

Correct.

You've got it right, GP comment has it wrong.

Lazy does not simply mean "evaluated later". From what I understand, in JS, if you call an async function without `await`, it essentially gets added to a queue of functions to execute. Once the calling function stack completes, the async function will be executed.

A queue of functions to execute does not constitute "lazy evaluation" on its own.

Does anyone have advice for a cat that drinks water by dipping their paw in the bowl and then licking their paw?

My cat will only lick water straight from the bowl if I stand over her while she is at the bowl (when she tries using her paw, I grab the paw wiping the water off with my hand and say "no", she pauses for a bit, and then relents and licks the water from the bowl)

When I'm not there, she leaves wet paw prints through the house.
Maybe I'm being naive, but I don't get how "pathnames as a concept are now utterly broken in POSIX". Isn't this "merely" a problem that the resolution of the path name is dynamic and can change between inspection and use? Wouldn't a practice of resolving pathnames once (recursively, atomically, whatever) into an immutable, opaque, direct handle, such as file descriptor, before use solve this issue? I realize what I just said may be tantamount to "all file io ops taking path strings are broken" - but that seems like a problem with the initial API design, not with the concept of having a level of indirection in path name resolution itself.

So, it's not symlinks broken, but SMB1 unix extensions broken when exposed to the world for symlink creation. AIU this features doesn't even serve windows interoperability. And if the author wanted to disable all symlinks altogether, what is the purpose of these extensions?
I assume throwawaymaths is talking about this paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2413164/

(or maybe to one of the papers this paper refers to as false?)

It finds that platypuses have five sex chromosomes which arrange themselves in a fixed order, that these five chromosomes do not share homologous material with the ancestral therian X chromosome, and that several of them (possibly all?) do share homologous material with the (single) chicken Z chromosome.

It says that earlier findings indicated (erroneously) that one end of the platypus sex chromosome sequence shared homology with the therian X, and the other end shared homology with the bird Z, and that this was taken as evidence contradicting the established view that the bird and mammal sex determination systems evolved independently of each other. But it goes on to contradict those earlier findings, which would seem to leave the even earlier view of independent evolution of sex determination systems in place.

It is not clear why this would make the platypus a missing link between mammals and birds. The focus seems to be pretty squarely on the evolution of the standard mammalian X chromosome, not on mammals generally.
HIMARS appear to be quite useful in Ukraine.
The article states that Sony disabled OtherOS before the USAF got their cluster built, and Sony was recalling and warehousing the PS3s that had the OtherOS feature. The USAF had to negotiate with Sony to acquire these older PS3s that still had OtherOS capabilities.
This is because of Percocet and Tramadol that combine opiates and paracetamol.

Paracetamol is easy to overdose on because the opiate is lower in those.

Despite this being true, it's probably bad in the long term to build a society where being honest and trying to do the right thing is a losing strategy.

And yet those states with lax gun regulations have nothing even close to the level of gun crime in the Chicago area.
If it was availability of guns that was the catalyst for this behavior, one would expect to see similar patterns elsewhere.

Succinct Data Structures [0] [1]. It encompass many different underlying data structure types but the overarching idea is that you want small data size while still keeping "big O" run time.

In other words, data structures that effectively reach a 'practical' entropy lower bound while still keeping asymptotic run time.

The libertarian in me thinks that it’s unfair for a child to be crippled for life because of the imbecilic views of their parents. That’s where the “to each their own” philosophy breaks down for me - it assumes that children “belong” to their parents, and that it’s fair for them to have to shoulder the consequences of their parents’ decisions

This whole thing is very concerning.

"According to the New York State Health Department, a person was found to be infected by a vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (VDPV2), aka revertant polio Sabin type 2 virus."

"Vaccine-associated paralytic polio" (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/polio/hcp/vaccine-derived-p...) is "a rare adverse event" following immunization with the Oral Polio Vaccine. "The United States exclusively has used IPV since 2000."

I doesn't seem likely that a "young adult" who hasn't travelled outside the US would be exposed to the OPV. Possibly, from some of the other cases mentioned in the CDC article, someone the young adult interacted with had been exposed to it, though.

The original article doesn't mention if the young adult was immunocompromised, which seems like a requirement for a secondary OPV infection.

The point of the article is that the tree you come up with changes depending on which set of genes you look at, meaning that there's no one correct tree: each gene is inherited at least partially independently, meaning that a simple branching tree is the wrong data structure to use.

It's not mind reading, I explained how it works.

You are friends with your parents on Facebook.
Your parents buy the pillow.
The pillow seller tells facebook that your parents bought the pillow.

Now Facebook knows that somebody who is your friend recently bought the pillow.
Facebook may decide to show you an ad for that pillow because somebody who is your friend recently bought the pillow.

The result may look like "mind reading", but it's actually very simple in terms of actual prediction.
The arrogance of Apache at this point for not shutting this down is mind-melting.
Hosts seem to cancel if they realize there’s an event they had normal pricing for. I tried airbnb for an F1 race. Booked when I got my tickets. Got cancelled. Host then relisted the dates at a much higher rate. Cool stuff. I still use Airbnb for certain things (when I need a kitchen & laundry) but mostly just use hotels.

"Fundamentalist" is a fair description; I do feel quite strongly about this.

The function of advertising is to intrude on your awareness, stealing attention from whatever it is you actually care about, in order to create a desire for something you were previously content without, in hopes of enriching the advertiser at your expense. Ads are a tax on your attention which hope to to take a toll on your pocketbook; they benefit advertisers by making everyone else's lives just a little bit worse.

In Seattle, billboards are forbidden (with a few grandfathered-in exceptions), but stores are still permitted to post signs. This seems like a reasonable compromise; labeling the contents of the building provides useful information, which seems beneficial enough to outweigh the advertising function of the sign.

I suppose brochures are fine if you go in and get one because you are curious; but someone walking down the street bothering people by handing them out at random would be an asshole.
Not my intent, there was a question about what does and what does not constitute proper behavior.

I gave a description that clarified that to a certain extent. The description is just a description, an answer to a question.

I think of it as "the flywheel". It takes a lot of energy to spin up, but once it's spinning it tends to stay spinning with minimal energy upkeep -- and be extremely resistant to changes in orientation. A flywheel-mind can keep going in the same direction near indefinitely, but to change its direction you need to brake it first; that results in friction, heat, and wear, not to mention the energy cost of spinning it up again.
This, I'm I the same boat and have the same opinion. The US and Europe are both still top in manufacturing complex new things. Simple commodity stuff that's a race to the bottom like low end consumer tech and objects like trash cans are outsourced because cost.
Not being familiar with cosine distance, I found an NIST link: https://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/software/dataplot/refman2/au....

It seems like the main difference between convolution and cosine distance is the normalization. For example, if I associate vector A with the windowed data set and B with the cosine difference "kernel", then cosine difference will have a larger magnitude than a convolution for small A.

Cool idea. I plan to give it a whirl some day.
Remarketing ads towards people based on past browsing history is stalking, full stop.
The problem with selling is you have to know who you are selling to.

I once developed a tool that saved literal days of time every month by automating some very rote workflows. It was appreciated by everyone who had to do the work by hand.

When I tried to sell it to my bosses boss, I realized he literally didn't know a lick about our workflows, where the inefficiencies are, and how they could be remedied.

We could've been making toothbrushes for all he cared.

After a while, I pulled out the super fake looking 'bad bar goes down, good bar goes up' slide and his eyes lit up.
>devs don’t want it to read like an ad (hate advertising)

This is pretty much why I only use browsers with ublock origin installed, and avoid browsing on devices I can't filter out 99.9% of image/video ads. I don't see ads on youtube or google or most other common sites. The only way I get advertised to is sponsored segments in videos or podcasts, or reading a product review I see on a site like HN.

In the case of the former, the sponsor is hoping my willingness to watch/listen to the content provider talk about stuff I like will transfer some level of tolerance to listening to them shill a product. In reality I either mute it until the segment is over or skip past it (if able). For the latter, I do sometimes look at product pages for gizmos and software posted to HN but I bee-line straight for the specs and ignore the marketing fluff, which is either a wordy summary of the specs, or else completely lacking in substance.

So I think some audiences are simply not targetable by their own choice and you have to accept it. I have certainly tried pretty hard to make myself impossible to advertise to (at least in a consistent and reliable way), and I don't think this mindset is uncommon in the industry.

Have you seen "drive" with Ryan Gosling?
WizzAir[0] is the cheap Hungarian carrier and offers tons of flights out of Budapest all over Europe.

Since the flag carrier, Malév[1], went bust -- in no small part due to the machinations of Wizz -- it's also the only airline with a direct route to many important destinations, such as Berlin.

So for the purposes of "cheap carrier screws you over" you could substitute EasyJet or RyanAir or whatever and have the same story, but with Wizzair you also have a lot of people flying it for business purposes because it's the only way to get to Berlin in under three hours.

And I've heard from a lot of friends who had their Wizz tickets unceremoniously cancelled this summer, so not surprise to see someone mention it here.
