It’s hard to name good sources when we’re talking in generalities. But whatever topic your interested in, there are likely many experts on the subject that have published books or other long form content. That’s a great starting point, then I think you need to figure out what works for you through experience and trial and error
They've discovered step one in the arms race that is anti-virus software.

A reasobable definition of malicious code is anything that misbehaves and gets past your scanner.

It might be better to just run static analysis tools and fuzzers to see how exploitable the software is. Here's an old, but good one:

Hopefully better things exist these days.
Isn’t this tautologically true when consensus views are assumed correct? (then the consensus view will be judged as appropriately confident while the non-consensus views will be judged as inappropriately confident)

It’s also interesting to consider the human psychological factor that the stronger the consensus, the more effort it takes to hold a dissonant view — and plausibly one must project greater confidence in order to hold steadfast. This will only amplify, the more one is hounded with “consensus”.

Consensus views might well be right! But is this study telling us anything new/interesting, beyond regurgitating common sense with a veneer of scientism?
I can’t identify with any of this—I guess I simply don’t travel in social circles where reading books confers status—but I will say this article is wonderfully written and entertaining throughout. In particular, I got a good chuckle out of this turn of phrase:

> You don’t have to go fully commando, of course. There are plenty of briefs available.
Politically controversial issues (e.g. GM foods, COVID related practices) frequently have scientific consensus.
And ban sexy young mistresses while we're at it. I'm not jealous, this is about saving the planet.
> Why would I pay to have my question downvoted, marked duplicate, etc when I've already done the research? If I don't say the right shibboleths the community on stack overflow will just downvote/mock my question.

Can you give some examples of questions that have been closed as duplicates despite not actually being duplicates, as well as the kind of shibboleths you're talking about?

I think I found the answer you mean! https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3637668/why-are-scriptin... — the topic matches, there's a table comparing syntax (though I wouldn't call it huge), and it includes the idea of scaling up to large programs vs scaling down to 10 character programs.

(The question was deleted in July 2014 and undeleted in December 2020: https://stackoverflow.com/posts/3637668/revisions , so right now anyone can see it. BTW with ≥10000 reputation one can see deleted posts, per https://stackoverflow.com/help/privileges and https://stackoverflow.com/help/privileges/moderator-tools — e.g., as you mentioned you have ~16k points, try the much-mirrored "programmer joke" deleted question (linked from e.g. https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/76584).)
You've heard of "Blue skies research", this is what I call "The sky is blue research". Working very hard to show something that is pretty much self evident. I'd love it if we could learn how to change people's minds. Calling people stupid hasn't worked.
But the big problem in the end will likely be that you have no idea how reproduce the setup from scratch again
I'm generally pretty biased against police shooting someone with a knife. Until one time I saw a video of one guy with a knife stabbing 5 police officers, with their guns drawn, before any of them fired a shot. Sometimes your intuitive sense of what is possible is actually quite wrong.
When playing FLAC music over aptX HD, the next step for improvement is to avoid any resampling. The music is generally at 44.1 kHz and the default for Android is 48 kHz.
It requires root to change the audio config file to 44100, and it's also necessary to change the bluetooth settings (in the developer options).

Something similar goes for Linux.

The resampling shouldn't matter much in theory, but in practice it's pretty noticeable. It seems to be optimized for CPU usage instead of audio quality.
How are you integrating bazel and nix?

My assumption is that bazel is running in an environment created by nix, so I wonder what you mean by 'deeply integrated'.

Honestly, if that was the reason ("we need to make our mysql faster"), I would strongly prefer if they'd just say that. Certainly more understandable (if not relatable) than this sort of communication.
SBC sounds really good too if you negociate a higher bitrate than the "high quality" profile. Sometimes called SBC- XQ, and most receivers support it.

This is a phenomenon any scientist who has been practicing for any length of time is likely to have encountered. I can't even recall all the statements from ignorance (not pejorative--they simply weren't educated on the subject matter) people have made to me about various physics and engineering topics that have been settled for decades in knowledgeable circles.
Nial uses the nested array model, which arguably is weird, but is also shared by every surviving APL dialect that supports nesting. J's boxed model comes from SHARP APL, but A+ was the only other language to pick it up and both those have stopped development.

And it sounds like you've found it, but Nial does have the RANK transformer, which looks essentially the same as J's rank conjunction " .

It really depends on your problem. If you need to patch docker images it often gets hairy.
Yes, it only works for objects that you can estimate the size of. The tree is pretty easy (trees don't have that much variation in width, especially given that you can determine the type of tree from other clues). A far away city is a bit more difficult but you can still get a rough estimate by guessing, say, how big some building is (or better yet how wide the road you're walking down towards the city is!).

This is an extremely smug and tone-deaf take on the deterioration of trust in public health institutions and messaging.

They reference covid in their abstract, so it's fair game to discuss here: where was the scientific objective-truth-machine when the Noble Lies[0] where being told? It was silent and complicit.

The general public is not as knowledgeable as experts, but they can sense when they're being lied to, or when political bias is distorting the messaging, and they don't like it. When they can't trust the experts, they fall back on their own lack of knowledge, for which they are now being mocked. But lying to and manipulating people means they won't trust you, no matter how much of an expert you provably are.

This study seems to want to make it simply about the Dunning-Kruger[1] effect, which puts most of the blame on the average person, while ignoring why people feel like they can't trust experts in the first place.

If you're fine with a digital option, Archive.org often has scans of books you can either download locally or temporarily "check out" to read on their site like a library (they back it with a physical copy). Seems like they have a scanned version of the first edition.

I also think everyone should know about Sci-Hub/LibGen/MagzDB whether they use those sites or not; most everyone on the internet is seconds away from a resurrected Library of Alexandria and can access tons of scientific papers, books (and textbooks), and magazines, and this is a great thing. They don't have everything, but still there's tons. Looks like the epub for this version is already up.
>Specifically, it says that the people “following mainstream consensus” are actually less likely to do so “blindly”, i. e. overconfidently.

After the past few years, I’m really not sure if there is anyone left that doesn’t have a personal anecdote against this.
The last nuclear meltdown was literally a trillion dollar disaster.

Wind and Solar don't have failure modes like that so you don't even have to think about it.

This is why Nuclear tends to get more expensive over time because nobody can accurately calculate the risk of any design decision, so engineers and managers tend to make them more complex over time.
The files in the user directory are mostly symlinks and there are only multiple because it was designed without xdg in mind years ago. There is an open RFC to change those directories to xdg compliant ones.
is this spoken from experience or assumption? Your examples sound like you are assuming that money sent to companies is sent like a check, and no further action is taken.

I cannot claim authority over all instances of gov funding, but I have managed funds from the government for Rd use and they absolutely do audit, and they absolutely do require an accounting down to the last penny, and they absolutely do review plans vs actions. And they absolutely do get refunds for money not spent. And, critically, they absolutely do shutdown follow on funding if they do not like what they see.

Just to be a little clearer, I would like to use this for making System Information Models (SIM), or also can be digital twins, of electrical, instrumentation and communications systems.

If a node is a device or part in the real world, the ports are like "terminals" on the nodes where the individual "wires" (edges) connect.

If you are going there a feature that almost all node graphing tools don't have that could make them very useful for representing real world systems is trunking.

If you extend the wires and terminals analogy, if the devices (nodes) are grouped in different areas or enclosures then you would run a "cable" between them, which is a rolled up bunch of wires.

Then you need to be able to identify the wires in the cables, known as cores, with core markers or wire markers so you can follow at each end where they break out to individual wires again.

And also the wires and cables have different types to serve different flows or signals, so edges become as detailed as nodes, if not more so. Most implementations treat the edges as trivial, but for real world modelling the type and grouping etc is very important.

These features then let you use the graphing tool as a design tool for electrical/instrumentation systems, eg digital twin even.

This is a niche, but quite substantial, market currently poorly served, it would be great to have more options.

There is a little more, but I think you get the idea.
Why do you need high res color pass through for the keyboard and mouse? I don’t need to see them while working with a monitor so why with VR?

Having left academia after my PhD, but still doing research in the private sector, I hate the scientific publishing industry wholeheartedly. It is something of the past that is definitely keeping us, as a society, from making progress.

There are more and more initiatives to create new tools around the literature (Semantic Scholar, ResearchRabbit and stuff like that) but less around moving he publishing industry as a whole.

(I'm not affiliated with the previous organizations though I think Semantic Scholar have an API for peer review matching that might be useful in your case).

If you need contributors I'd be interested.
Significantly simpler though to where you can do it with an off the shelf component. Finding an easy to buy touch screen panel that works with the Framework would be significantly harder to source and less reliable for linking to.

A 15 year old niece told me this week that she can’t be bothered to read because she gets bored by the time she gets to the end of the first page. “Why do that when I have TikTok and YouTube?”

It seems like there’s going to be a generation of people who don’t have to pretend to read - they simply don’t care to, and it doesn’t confer the same status TikTok fame does.
The especially great thing about this approach is it lets you put things on the stack when appropriate too. It's really annoying when some library forces you to spam the heap with short lived, easily scoped objects.

Syncthing has a new untrusted feature, which sends encrypted blobs to the nodes you set as being "untrusted" (i.e. nodes in the cloud)

Here's the specs on how it works: https://docs.syncthing.net/specs/untrusted.html
Now that solar panels are trending down in price it seems IMHO the real disruption will be when batteries similarly become cheap enough that homeowners may disconnect completely from the grid or at least make solar the majority of their energy supply.

If that happens energy companies will at that point be lobbying to force endusers to stay on grid to continue subsidizing maintenance.

We aren't at that tipping point yet but with large tax breaks coming for EV ownership, an EV vehicle also makes a great way to dump "excess" solar power. Enough so that gas stations will start disappearing over the next few decades as well. Again, IMHO.

If batteries get cheap enough it might make sense for an entrepreneur to sell or lease solar+battery+charger to people who want to sublet part of their property, crowd sourcing EV charging.
Ask HN: What are some of your favorite YouTube channels?

He talks about "new ideas" and "entrepreneurship" being the solution to societal problems. To me that shows such a lack of understanding of why we can't solve the problems we have.

The reason the problems don't get solved is not a lack of ideas. We know how to solve homelessness, global warming, and traffic deaths.

We know exactly what to do. Stop emitting CO2. Build houses, give people jobs, make sure wages keep up with housing. Slow down cars in city centers, build separate pedestrian infrastructure, encourage public transport.

The reason we don't do these things is political. More ideas won't solve anything.

to tease out the nuance, the mechanism of mainstreaming isn't an extension of stupidity (ignorance is certainly a more accurate term), but of limited focus and stress. most people don't spend much time thinking about the wider world and how it should work very deeply, so they follow the herd on most things, because it's a decent heuristic and it has a social benefit.

it's a literal luxury to have enough time and mental space to think for more than a few minutes on any given issue. that's one of the most valuable "legs up" that wealth gives you, not so much the money itself, but the room to think (and unfortunately, often to try to manipulate the world around you in a self-serving/self-centered way--the corrupting of personal integrity that's as old as time).

Ummm, this is SEO? Because it is a hack from google's algo? This is exactly my problem with the "hackers" here and the article's author - conflating the action with content. He finds an unscroupolous usage of that hack and generalizes without any effort that all of it is fraud.

It is not okay to glide over the 'young people' part and generally not being empathetic to those trying to beat the market. If it is fraud, which is a crime, are you suggesting these people should be sent to jail? Because if not then you shouldn't use the that word. Words have meaning.

For me, 43m, white skin, not too fair, UK - I gradually tan without sunscreen (15 mins a day) deliberately in early summer (but not face or neck !) and then can use small amounts of sunscreen just on face, neck and forearms for the rest of the summer if I’m out for hours, or just nose, cheeks back of neck if it’s a short period, or maybe a wide brimmed hat with no sunscreen if possible. I like vitamin D and dislike using sunscreen and having wrinkles, so this is the compromise.

If you’re cycling a lot in strong sun, just slap the sunscreen on your face, neck and arms. Don’t get burnt.

Did not know MDN had introduced a premium offering, missed that somehow. For others like me, info from this article[0]:

>The new subscription offering will introduce features like notifications, collections (think lists of articles you want to save) and MDN offline for when you want to access MDN when you’re not online.

>There will be three subscription tiers: MDN core, a free limited version of the paid plans; MDN Plus 5, with access to notifications, collections and MDN offline for $5 per month or $50 per year; and MDN Supporter 10 for those who are willing to pay a bit more to support the platform in addition to getting a direct feedback channel to the MDN team (as well as “pride and joy,” Mozila says). As the name implies, that more expensive plan will cost $10 a month or $100 for an annual subscription.
