Scene playing out ca. 2013:

Store Manager: It looks like someone hacked our computer, let's call the police, they'll know what to do.

FBI: Our diligent detective work has uncovered the perp is named MG. We will lock him up for 20 years for a CFAA violation.

Store Manager: Isn't that kind of harsh? I've since called the tech support line who told me to turn it off and back on again, and that seems to have fixed it.

Corporate management: We don't support this prosecution.

Prosecutor: Our job is to work in the public interest. Microsoft has suffered because people might think their operating system isn't secure.

MG: All this stress of being persecuted by a bureaucratic meat grinder is making me awfully depressed ...

... talk about a much different type of life changing event.

Ask HN: Visual Code Explorer?
I'm wondering if someone knows of a tool that, given an entrypoint into a code base, creates a graph over all functions showing which functions call others.

Such a tool would be especially useful for onboarding into new codebases, understanding what parts of a codebase are "hot", providing insight into risk of refactoring and a visualization of how code flows throughout the system.

Anything out there that does this?
This is a very interesting use-case for k8s. Can you expand on it some more? For instance, why did you you pick this over vhosting? You essentially took TESLA's Electric semi-truck, remove the cab, extend the chasis and slap a school bus body on top of it. I think I like it, but I'm wondering how stable it is. how much of set-it-and-forget-it benefit do you get out of it. Sometimes it's best to over-engineer to sleep good at night, knowing the limits will never be tested. This is why XCP-NG beats PROXMOX, because there's less wet nursing involved. Let me know if you have any write-up on this approach that you can share. I'd be interested in reading it.

That tends to be a short-lived kind of epiphany.
McDonalds was an assembly line for burgers. As far back as the 80s, and as late as last year, in Canada, during busy times, they'd definielty have burgers under the warmer. During slow times, none.

They can cook and assemble a burger in 2 minutes, along with fries... even a dozen burgers.

This was McDonald's specialty! How to keep ahead of the crowd, in sync with demand, and also, how to build a burger fast.

The fact that they don't have 50 big macs on the go, during doordash/dinner peak, is a major problem.

No, it's not difficult, not for them, they've been doing it for 70 years!

There may be some merit to some of what you say, but it just leaves one with more questions.
They could, or it could chew up a hand pretty well, or turn a robbery into a multiple murder, or any number of things. A dog doesn’t respond predictably or rationally.

Criminal doesn’t mean stupid - and you’re not going to bother with a risky target when there are other, less risky targets nearby.
jfc let the kids have Tumblr in peace instead of turning it into another boomer cesspool.
Yeah, sadly dumb phones aren't the solution either. With call spamming smart phones could potentially be more useful, dumb phones have no screening call capability for spam and becomes a hassle to use them. I feel for old people with dumb phones receiving dozens of unsolicited calls. The best solution is self restraint from distractions.
I have been successful by most standards, with a litany of professional and educational achievements, a wonderful wife, three beautiful kids, and a life of exciting new experiences. But age 35 was a crucible year in which I presided over the scorching failure of a startup, struggled mightily in my PhD program, and reluctantly accepted that I no longer believed in the religious faith that had shaped my life. That change eventually cost me my marriage. It felt the universe took a sledgehammer to my life.

That year (7 years ago now) marks a "before" and "after" point in my life. It changed all my priorities. I'm much more relational now, much more focused on the present, and search for and find joy in simple, quiet, beautiful things. I still work hard but am far less attached to professional success. The faith change led me to abandon an identity that tormented me with cognitive dissonance, was rooted in social expectations, and never worked well for me; constructing a new, more authentic identity has not been easy but it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

In many ways, my journey has been a fairly conventional "midlife passage" (my preferred term over "midlife crisis"). I'm grateful for the experience, and thankful it came early enough that I could renew my life while still relatively young.

I wrote a book about my experience, in case it's helpful to anyone else: https://www.amazon.com/Eating-Glass-Journey-Through-Failure-...

This feels weird at first glance, but the IDE is staying as RStudio. I love the company and all they’ve done to make data analysis more accessible, so good on them and may they succeed even more in the future.

Still not sure what Quarto is above and beyond a normal RStudio notebook, though.

DayDreamer: World models for physical robot learning
You've just turned this one spec proposal into two! I thought this was about simplifying things, not doubling the amount of work.
I cancelled Hulu for a few months simply because I was watching a romantic comedy and they showed a Horror commercial that was so gross that I cancelled on the spot.

I don't like political ads, but there are good arguments for them.

Ads for horror movies that involve grotesque things I have to hide my kids from? I don't see the value there.

At least let me opt out or something. I have not watched horror in 20 years and have no intention of ever watching it.
But some human made that algorithm. ML models are alchemy, no one understands how they work fundamentally, so they're very susceptible to human bias. James Mickens USENIX '18 keynote is a great laugh/cry view of this.

Regulations mandating a support channel of some sort is reasonable.

Also, I don't think it's reasonable to say a person needs to be free of ALL those companies. Decentralized for-profit organizations are how we get things done as a society, mostly. Pick the companies you trust/value. My point was mostly about avoiding ad-revenue-driven companies.
Interesting to me that I’ve never heard of this (as a 50 yo) yet it was enough of a reference to make it into the Simpson, albeit as an obscure in-joke
I feel like one could just split the css around (uncontained) } and hand off each portion to microthread.

Basically do it by multithreaded recursive descent.

Then what on the left of { is a selector and what's on the right are the properties.
If the OP was in Europe he could be sued by the trespasser due to the GDPR for posting the trespasser photo on a website without his consent.
Ehhhh I don’t know. I hire for a relatively junior level. I don’t require a lot of specific skills. I just want good reasoning skills and some basic domain familiarity. When I turn someone down, it’s usually an evaluation of their competency. I don’t really get a chance to communicate that, and it would be a bit uncomfortable if I could.
I had a Verti-Bird as well. I was 4. My dad basically hogged the thing. I barely got to play with it, then it went into storage never to return.
> Until then, yes, there is no respite for being reminded that you exist in reality.

What do you mean "reality"? We're talking about political issue ads here. Is it "reality" to be constantly nagged/threatened/scared to agree with all kinds of contradictory things in every possible place?
This is a mistake we see happening over and over. Most prominently with Facebook right now.

Social networks should just stay in their lane, it's fine to steal (copy) features and ideas but changing your whole network to copy another site just because they're 'flavor de jour' is stupid.

Twitter and Tumblr are two fundamentally different sites, trying to change one to the other will just destroy it. Tumblr already destroyed themselves when they banned porn and Twitter has a large porn base.

I just finished feeding my first baby, and I'm not sure when I'll have time for anything else again.
When will these companies learn that shriekers on twitter don't represent the preferences of their actual customer base?

Or maybe it won't matter, because since normal people have other things to worry about it always pays to give in to the loudest, most obnoxious people. In which case, i guess we can look forward to a future where everything is influenced by the most unhinged.

Used to pick up citizen band signals on my guitar amp. If it's close enough, there may be even legal source of interference -- although the intention to interfere may make it illegal.
Right. In Kastrup's idealism, a scalpel, for example, is actually a transpersonal mental process. So it modifies brain-consciousness much like an emotion or thought modifies other thoughts.
> Once a company gets VR done well the smartphone is OVER.

AR maybe. I seriously doubt that VR will ever be the primary way people interact with computers. People tend to use their phones as a distraction in public, and as a brief reprieve in private. VR entails completely submerging yourself in the computer interface, which might be fine occasionally, but I doubt will ever be most people's preferred way to access social media and the like. AR would enable you to distract yourself while still leaving you aware of what's going on around you. The issue there being that its much more difficult to do AR well. I doubt that VR will take off until someone does AR or MR really well, after which enough people will be already using the headsets for a VR application to become popular.
I'm guessing you're on BSD (or maybe Apple)? Their version requires you to tell less there's a raw data at the input.
Ha, it sounds possible but I'm not a GDPR expert. However one thing I do know is that you'd basically be publicly outing yourself as a burglar and the press would have a field day. Streisand effect - maybe better to just keep your head down and hope nobody recognises your blurry face :)
Yeah, a full faceshield is definitely advisable when using grinders. Powerful tools not to be taken lightly.
Oh man, I can relate.

I don’t know that I’d call this an implementation detail of the engine.

As I read this, the spec would force the implementation on every engine - and there is no known algorithm that could answer the question in constant time given the spec.

Infinite look ahead means infinite look ahead. Which means (IIUC), every time this case is encountered, any/every CSS engine (existing today or yet to be built - every CSS engine from this point forward) would have to potentially check every subsequent token until it could properly understand the context of the symbol.

Given that - I don’t like the idea of any CSS file being able to put my browser into that state.
Oh, this sort of thing goes way back… here’s Swift from 1712, for instance:

> I do here … complain to your Lordship … that our Language is extremely imperfect; that its daily Improvements are by no means in proportion to its daily Corruptions; and the Pretenders to polish and refine it, have chiefly multiplied Abuses and Absurdities … Gentlemen … introduced that barbarous Custom of abbreviating Words, … as to form such harsh unharmonious Sounds … They have joined the most obdurate Consonants without one intervening Vowel, only to shorten a Syllable: And their Taste in time became so depraved, that what was a first a Poetical Licence, not to be justified, they made their Choice, alledging, that the Words pronounced at length, sounded faint and languid … Instances of this Abuse are innumerable: What does Your Lordship think of the Words, Drudg'd, Disturb'd, Rebuk't, Fledg'd, and a thousand others, every where to be met in Prose as well as Verse? Where, by leaving out a Vowel to save a Syllable, we form so jarring a Sound, and so difficult to utter, that I have often wondred how it could ever obtain.

Or in other words: “It’s ‘dess-turb-uhd’, with THREE vowels! Not that nasty word ‘dess-turbd’ which is impossible to pronounce! What a horrible degradation of the language!”

(For more of this, Deutscher’s The Unfolding of Language contains a highly amusing list of examples dating all the way back to Cicero in 46 BC, who complains that the speech of his day was sadly degraded from the great orators of the past. I’m certain I’ve even seen an Ancient Egyptian complaint along these lines, though sadly I can’t seem to find it now.)
> There are ~8 billion people on the planet

Well that made me laugh. Have you considered sending emails to the 7.99999 billion people who didn’t apply?
> prevent someone from dying or from suffering serious physical harm

These are exigent circumstances, which allow police to enter your home without a warrant. Extending that access to include video cameras seems reasonable.

This is a "In Case of Emergency Break Glass" type of situation.

"Commercial At" is a thing in German, too (translating the "at", Kaufmannsund.)

However, it refers to only one of the common uses. The most prominent use has been in lists, like, "3 socks @ 2 denarii" (meaning, three socks at 2 denarii each), &c…

BTW, speaking of lists, there's another, now lost ligature for "i"+"t", often used as an abbreviation for "item", which works just the same, an open circle denoting the "t".
No, Debian 11. Fresh install too.
We had cases when a prospect said we must use AWS (because that's what they use, and are comfortable with how our data bridges would work/integrate), and when a prospect said we must not use AWS (because they are in retail and want to avoid feeding the 1,000-pound gorilla that's mauling them).

I don't want to imply this is common - it's not. Such cases come from the "arbitrary enterprise rules" side rather than the "SaaS/tech" side.
The commercial real estate market has been untethered from reality for a while.

Heck, that’s true for all real estate markets. Funny money and overseas wealth has distorted all notions of market efficiency.

Former teacher of mine sought their PMP to become a project manager, ran into issues getting the certification, I think they got their CAPM eventually and ended up getting an unrelated role at an accounting firm.

Their reasoning for going after a project manager role however was basically that the job was identical to their current responsibilites as department 'lead' creating curriculum, lesson plans, etc.

I have then gone on to see their comparisons between project management and teaching echoed in various forms online by various educators seeking to find something more financially rewarding.
That is real bravery.
I believe your understanding of the intention is correct and I totally agree with what you're saying about those involved in creating the standard. I just don't think they'll be able to evolve CSS into something preferable to using a preprocessor for many many years if ever.
Nice, thanks! I won't. :)
Thank you for your quick response...

> In this instance, it seems to me that a hash that only samples the input data would be just as useful as one that runs over the whole set.

So if I understand this correctly, hashing a set of bytes of a percentage of the file size would be a possible approach that could work. In your suggestion 1/128th of the file size, so a little less that 1 percent? But the difference is, that you instead of one chunk would hash a set of bytes always skipping a fixed amount?

> or you could put your metadata into your audio files so it sticks with them when they move.

That is already the case. The audio files are casual files like in every library. But I know, where the metadata starts and ends, so I can build a only-audio hash, that does not change, if the metadata changes. That is the point of this whole feature...

While i agree with you on the hijacking of the term, i do support more people getting involved with security and especially security awareness. The more, the merrier! So, overall its a good thing, even if it creates a little pain for folks who are more kung fu gurus of the hacking way. I think a more general term like "security practitioner" might be more apt...but headlines gonna be headlines, hence writers gonna jazz things up with "hacker". Then again, what do i know.

Have you tried to buy a car recently? It's one thing to say Toyota still makes a Carolla. That doesn't mean they're producing them as much as Tundras. That doesn't mean you can go to your car dealer and just buy one. My girlfriend had to get a car 2 weeks ago. No one at the automall had regular sedans. She had to settle for a gas guzzling SUV because that's all that's available.

Again, consumers don't have the choice you seem to think they do.
Better a broken back than a broken brain. If it's not the TBI or PTSD, the slow descent to alcoholic depression will do it. Never met another OIF/OEF combat vet without one of the three.

Wait, what? What kind of insane suggestion is that? No one actively wants to catch a disease. And the health system should help not dispense moral judgement. Otherwise what I'm going to immediately ask is why provide help for people who smoke? Who drink? Who get into an accident when cycling or paragliding? Surely they were all just asking for it!

>>or at least make them pay for inpatient treatment so they can't do half the course and stop

I don't see how that follows.
A dog is an audible warning before the fact and may scare off thieves/robbers before an attempt. A gun is in the best of all cases helpful once the thief or robber has already decided to act.

RadioLab did an episode on this topic “Decoding the Void” in 2014 (https://www.radiolab.org/episodes/anesthesia) that, for me, pretty much deconstructed the whole idea of an afterlife in 20 minutes.

What happens when we die? People commonly think of this as some kind of unknowable mystery. But people lose consciousness all the time and aren't entering the spirit world when they do so. If you’ve ever awoken from general anesthesia, you know what death will be like. Maybe a very pedestrian thought for some of you, but as a sincere fundamentalist zealot for most of my life, it was a big epiphany for me.

(Disclaimer: I understand some will disagree intensely — I would have been among you ten years ago. I’m not here to invalidate your sincerely held beliefs, only to relate a change in my understanding.)
