So sorry, I totally misread what you meant and wrote a wall of text about Windows OS, rather than desktop window management.

I do use quite a lot of application windows on macOS, and I use Rectangle Pro to snap/organize them. I saw someone else mentioning Moom in the comments as well, also heard good things about it.

However, I will admit, I definitely like the way FancyZones (feature built-into PowerToys, which is a first party Microsoft tool for Win10/11 full of other nifty things) window management works more than that of Rectangle Pro. But the combination of Rectangle Pro + virtual desktop organization + trackpad gestures is imo amazing for overall window management for me. I definitely like that overall package more than FancyZones on its own.
I would add overriding boolean dunder methods: __and__, __or__, __xor__ dunder methods.

Even more rare is overriding bitwise shift operations: __rshift__, __lshift__ etc. This is unfortunate, as these methods are only natively implemented in integers, so they’re basically freebies.

Differential equations show up all the time. Your professor could have provided concrete examples -- maybe they were more interested in their own research work than their teaching duties.

In high school, I looked into analytically calculating a ball's maximal trajectory length (or something like that) and was told it required solving differential equations and would be taught in college.

As a kid who chronically forgot to bring her calculator to school for about 12 years straight, I can now do long division well enough that I sometimes do it rather than get up to fetch my phone from the other room. It's also how I do division in my head.

I did pursue mathematics academically but I don't know if it ever came up in university math; more so in physics and computer science.

EDIT: apparently what I do is "short division", which is just long division but you don't write down all the steps.

The grind you have to go through in a "google style" interview has nothing to do with the actual work you normally do. It's done to show 1) you will do large amounts of boring work without questioning the need for it 2) you got the fundamentals and you know what's there / when using something you can grok what's going on under the covers. Nobody needs to implement a sorting algorithm until they do - the risk of NIH and reinventing the wheel is high. When you do you need to have a good understanding of why

Though a collider tunnel that size may still be useful in 100 years. The SPS was built in 1976 and it's still useful nearly 50 years later. The tunnel can also be reused, just as the LHC used the tunnel for the LEP experiment.

yes but that was because the lower class was largely responsible for food generation. today they are responsible for so much more. Technology, especially hi-tech contributes to our current complexity.

It seems that the author labored for many years with the full knowledge that what he was doing wasn't optimal in light of his objective, which seems to have been tenure at a college or university.

However, after he states:

> Besides, there were things I did believe in, things I thought more worthy of my time. Above all, teaching.

One wonders: why does he need tenure to do the thing he wants to do? Surely he could teach without tenure, at a college or some other school.
You know what isn't science? Not doing any of that and just going off on a study that's led to more questions (aka, science) in the comments of Hacker News.

Their study had a scope, they did the study and found some results then drew some conclusions. They also found the study wasn't large enough to draw all conclusions because of noise, something they didn't know before the study.

> Saying anything is noise only disregards...

Saying something is noise indicates that the data isn't clear enough to draw a conclusion and more specific and targeted studies are needed to draw said conclusion.

It certainly doesn't mean that they're ignoring the plight of... you.

Experiencing art takes work in itself. If you are inclined to look at 2D photos of a 1.5 mile work of art and make your final decision about its merits, I don’t think you’ve done the work to experience it. That makes your opinion valid but uninteresting overall.

Ask HN: Spam on the domain I just purchased?
I registered a domain name a couple months ago (via hover.com if that matters). Just now I visited it to see what the default/empty splash-page looks like, and got redirected through several different sites in different languages (one of which looked like a spammy recipe site? the rest went by so fast they didn't fully load)

Needless to say, this was highly sketchy and I'm now wondering if I need to take steps to lock down my various accounts since I feel like I just visited a malicious link

But what I'm really wondering is, how did this happen with a newly-registered domain that I own? I deleted all the existing DNS records after it happened, but assuming those were the cause of all this, how did malicious ones get there in the first place? hover.com seems like the only party that should have been able to do this, but they've never shown themselves to be a malicious actor in the past. Does a domain keep its previous DNS records when it gets bought by a new owner who didn't get it via a transfer? Do those not normally get reset by the registrar?

Addendum: Anybody know a good malware scanner for macOS? :P
In the book A Fire Upon the Deep, Vernor Vinge outlines a kind of bleak future for humanity in which societal collapse is inevitable. Despite interstellar communication and wild technology, there always comes a point at which the machinery of a given society is too complicated and heavy handed and over-fitted to handle some change in circumstances. The result is the survivors are thrown back to pre-industrial society. Of course in his book the machinery of society is more intrinsically enmeshed with high technology—a failure in supply chain could result in a failure of resource allocation or governance.
> Here's the kicker: After each phase, you had to swap your code with another team. So you had to pick up somebody else's code, figure it out, and then build up on it.

This is hilarious and is a good example of how sw engineering works in the real world. Love it.

Farming is hard, the boom and bust cycle is harsh. Most early farms were too small in scale to survive.

Not to criticize LHOP here, but generally there is a sort of romantic idea of a family farm that for large chunks of time wasn’t sustainable financially no matter how hard they worked.
Students don't like learning languages that they are not going to use professionally. They want to learn Python, Javascript, maybe Java or C#.

This is another clear indicator that most students today see college as a higher class trade school, not as a place of higher learning.

This is incorrect, as the parent explained the point of an NFT is the signature, this proves you bought from a certain collection that was created by a certain wallet

You can create your own BAYC, scammers do it all the time but they aren’t too successful because it’s trivial to see it came from an unknown wallet.

Sure, you could infringe on the copyright of a non-crypto artist and pretend to be the artist in an NFT marketplace, but then it becomes a normal copyright claim

NFTs don’t replace the legal system, they simply remove the need for the artist to be trusted by a third party (an art gallery, etc) before they can authenticate their own work to a buyer.
If what you’re asking of these students can easily be automated by a tool then the problem is in the assignment. Either don’t request it, knowing it can be automated with ease, or accept that bubble sorts are a long solved problem and move on to teaching other things.

Lest anyone think I’m saying don’t teach important concepts or that such things no longer matter: there’s a whole world of principles and fundamentals that can be taught and assessed without fizzbuzzing 100 students who already had access to Google and StackOverflow before Copilot came along.

Yes, directly assessing hands-on coding would be much better, but these tiny snippets aren’t really indicative of real-world tasks that will be needed anyway (given that almost anything so foundational will almost certainly be in a standard library), it doesn’t really prepare students for real-world development work, and there’s a general expectation that new graduates are going to be very very green and therefore need a lot of handholding regardless. Even more than that, you’ve no way of detecting plagiarism already in these assignments given that a couple of basic rename refactors is going to stop you from proving the code was lifted from elsewhere to begin with.
> It's only when the majority is colluding to reorg the chain that the transaction can be censored.

I'm assuming (like in the last tweets of the linked thread) that pro-censorship forces who can arrange for the supermajority in PoS to censor transactions can also arrange for the majority in PoW to not build on any uncensored head of the chain, i.e. they can mandate "always reorg."

The only issue i have with porn production is the lack of international regulations. And if the '50% of all internet is porn' myth isn't a myth, maybe people consume too much of something i find inferior (not strictly however) to erotica.

I think people should couple watch erotica movies or go to erotica conventions, i went early in my life when i was close too a group of LGBTQ+ people and it is probably the most foundational experience of my sexual life.
> I had majored in science, not English ...

Reminded here of an observation by another frustrated academic that cross-disciplinary influence is praised with words but punished in deeds, because ideas from without the local power structure are intrinsically a challenge to its authority.
This is true also in PoS. If 90% of the validators censor a transaction, i.e. Do not include them in their blocks, the censored transactions would take 10x longer to be included but they would be included eventually.
With all due respect, it looks to me you're the one sharing an uninformed opinion. Have you seen any benchmarks, tried some? No? Your claims are based on what the authors say. That is not enough. Never has been.

The idea is not new at all. People have been asking for something like this for many years. You know why it never happened? Because it would be slow. Maybe the webkit devs have found a really fast and clever way to do it. But shitting on people for voicing their well founded skepticism is not a good sign. Especially when all we have is their word.
How BitTorrent works internally? A detailed guide
I’ve had neighbors with substance abuse problems and it was hell until my lease expired and I could get out. I’m glad you were functional when addicted or homeless, but that is the exception, not the rule.

I get it, I’m just another NIMBY becuase I’ve experienced someone trying to cook meth in their apartment next door, or a rat infestation overflowing from a hoarder. There are simply a lot of people out there who can’t live alone without lots of help. To think otherwise is insanity.

Houston’s approach is going to have blowback (I f it hasn’t already) if they are just throwing people in housing in the community. Again, housing first simply doesn’t work, you need to throw in a lot of additional social services if you don’t want the place to burn down. We also want to avoid slums where we just concentrate all the unhoused together, making the problem even more difficult.

I get the ideal that everyone deserves housing regardless of their lifestyle choices, implementation is much more complicated than that.

Patents happen to increase the likelihood that technology scales up, because it is a risk mitigation instrument for spending money on designing/building capital equipment necessary to service global demand.

In a strange way, game theory with no patents dictates a first mover disadvantage, because the first mover has to waste all the money figuring out how to build these things quickly before they are copied by a fast follower who puts the first mover out of business. So the likelihood that these things stay craft projects is a bit higher with no patents.
For any 2d representation of a sphere, you must give up at least 1 accurate dimension. Sometimes more.

Why co-ops? Because the profit goes back to the people who work there instead of shareholders, and they get a say in their own management. It shares control of the company between those who work there. It's a much better environment to work in vs something like Activision or EA where you're just an abused cog in the machine.

At least on paper. In reality, the smaller coops don't grow big enough and so can be resourced starved and kinda get stuck in a death spiral as people leave to pursue other alternatives while the remaining members hoard power and control for themselves and make new employees basically not full owners but minions, etc.

There's no perfect system but I'd rather take the risks of equality than work under an oppressive hierarchy.

Not everyone cares about that though. Some would rather earn the big bucks, be led by execs, and not have to worry about the rest of the business.

Anecdotally, as a type 1 diabetic it’s very interesting to observe different effects of sugars and sweeteners on my continuous blood glucose sensor over time.

For example DASH is a zero-calorie but sweet drink I have tried a couple of times and it makes my body chart a course for the moon.

Another drink called Gusto seems to have replaced sugars with Agave syrup, which works well at first but after several days builds up intolerance or something.

Modern regular orange juice is like a load of TNT with a 4 minute fuse.

Recently white wine and sparkling white wine instantly start making my sugar readings hop around erratically, moment by moment. (Not something I saw before about 4 months ago - before that it would be more like a steady incline.

The disruptors have made their way over to food and drink, it seems.
Might? This is the future of systems like CoPilot, reading existing source code only goes so far and it is only matter of time before the state of the art systems dynamically map compilers, even foreign ones, to source code. Once mapped, system will use its universal transcoder to remap the code to a know target language and even dynamically rewrite the compiler of the foreign language if appropriate to fill idiomatic gaps.

Ultimate end user for systems like these are not humans.
I've only been to the last two and there are certain structures there that begin to evoke the feeling but they don't get there because of their lack of isolation.

I tried to paint you a picture using Dall E of what I mean. The isolation means a lot and the raw structure being present without all of the accompanying stuff really just evokes a feeling.

https://imgur.com/a/xXIcp5V

The desolate isolation of the first picture with the gray concrete of the second, made in simple geometric forms really does it for me. But those pictures don't quite do it because of all the other stuff (the painted curb, the sign, the other materials). I have to imagine the combination because I'm not good enough at prompt engineering yet. And I really wanted a far away shot that really emphasized the isolation.

The prompt I used was something like "daytime photo of an isolated unpainted concrete bus stop in a desert from far away".

I think that many objects that I think you'd describe as built by blue collar workers come close to starting to evoke this feeling. For instance the isolated bus stop thing I was trying to draw there. But this is just like those but with those components of the aesthetics that I appreciate multiplied by a large number.
Its possible, but current developments looks very much like what you would expect to get from a smart and smarter but still sleeping agent. If deep learning can solve the awake part then it is very likely that there is a technique we are completely missing.

But in a way that would be exciting, we have already models that work like a sleeping genius programmer, or a sleeping author etc, if we can somehow get those to wake up then we would have some form of AGI.
This is very nice, thanks for sharing.

I would expect that code you get from Stage N-1 is functional across a range of tests that are agreed upon upfront.

For the fairness aspect, I would also let students pick any Stage N-1 that is not their previous N-1. That would also teach em that not all is created equal (and probably identify approaches / ideas that they can incorporate in their work)

Be careful. There is a possibility the person who's job you are automating will not appreciate it.

Someone I used to work with had what I would consider a tedious portion of her job automated away by an officially sanctioned project involving multiple people in multiple groups. She thought everyone was trying to get rid of her.

I can't tell you how to communicate your intentions so they are not taken the wrong way, just that there is a reasonable likelihood that they will be.
