Show HN: Countle
Countle is a daily puzzle game, a la Wordle, where you use 6 given numbers to produce of a sequence of calculations to reach a target number. In other words, it's a daily round of the "Numbers Game" from the British game show Countdown.

Sample numbers round: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfa3MHLLSWI

A new puzzle appears every day!
Yeah, the time the salt sits on in the most important factor by far, but an hour or two isn't enough. I go for 24 hours in the fridge, set on their side on a drying rack so no liquid pools. This is for thicker steaks, though I think I'd try something very similar for thinner ones.

I do tend to warm the steaks up on the counter as well, but it barely seems to matter, unsurprisingly.
Looks interesting! I'm always open to a statically type checked language.

This isn't about the language, but I was surprised to see that Nikola motors is a sponsor. Wasn't that company a fraudulent Hydrogen Fuel vehicle startup[1]? I wonder what the story is there- I find it hard to imagine anyone would be doing much software engineering at the company in the first place, even if it *were* working on the technologies they claimed to.

I am guessing that the $2M is from selling the usernames? Are the buyers individuals who want a good username, or bot farms who just need a large number of accounts?
Acoustic Levitation for Building Structures
> Back then I worked in gamedev, and I briefly considered going into competition with MILES et all with a 3D audio library after the Aureal fiasco, after I stumbled on some interesting papers doing Fresnel Zone Tracing variations as low overhead spatial audio, but ultimately wasn't serious about it vs other options at the time.

Which papers were they, if you recall?
This sounds a lot like SnowFlock[1], a U of T project to fork Xen VMs from ~12 years ago. Are they related? Or is this an independent re-discovery of the same principles?

Applications like you’re describing should consider less DOM and more Canvas API. The apps aren’t documents. They’re more like video games. DOM manipulation and rendering usually degrades performance more than the JavaScript.

One essay on this topic… https://medium.com/young-coder/the-future-web-will-canvas-re...
OK, although I agree with you that the labor relations board has inferred (“synthesized”) the action of the real union, the court might infer the same. What’s more, the act of striking (wildcat or not) could be a problem if the labor law permits the employer to terminate those employees without unemployment or to impose other actions, such as those they threatened in the memo. A wildcat action would not help the workers here, if/as there are:

- more than two workers refusing to work (hence, an illegal strike)
- the board did find the strike action to be illegal and recommended the same to the court
- the court can issue an order to the striking workers

The employer/board also found an anonymous letter, given the findings section the their decision [1]. Anyway, I don’t think we disagree at all at this point – you were just rejecting the idea that the board could prove it was the contracted union operating the strike. While I would agree that they cannot prove it, I think that the court decision will affirm the board’s finding.

[1] http://www.alrb.gov.ab.ca/decisions/GE_08829.pdf

> An anonymous letter was circulated to the Employees suggesting that Employees collectively refuse to work overtime shifts for the purpose of compelling incentives from the Employer, including improvements in compensation or working conditions, starting on Monday, August 22, 2022.

The thing missing from this story is why the workers went on strike in the first place. Was there prolonged “voluntary overtime” and workers became tired? Why won’t the company hire more workers to resolve the issue?
That seems markedly less charitable than what I said. You seem to be implying that there is no merit whatsoever in any conservative values. This may be great for rallying your own mob to fight, but isn't useful for convincing others or critically refining your own thinking.
Have you had a chance to experiment with whether GPT-3 prompts can be used to dynamically construct the response? For example, "if the messages describes a frontend role, say I am not interested, and if it is a backend role say I am interested."
It would at least reveal all the "advertising" SDKs included in each app. That info on its own is not very scary though.
That matches many, if not most most real world workloads. When hotspots happen, you just continue to shard, as they don't have to be equally sized, even if you shard a single warehouse id to a dedicated node and vertically scale it up.
I assume they've done the market research that shows enough people will pay for this to make it worthwhile.

Surely?
You’re right. I was looking at option A. Therefore radix sort is strictly the right answer. Simple, easy to read, easy to understand and an order of magnitude faster.

It is a personal laptop, I mainly use it to browse the web and occasionally work on personal projects (Python,Typescript,Rust), mostly on neovim, vscode otherwise.

For power management, I use TLP instead and also disabled power-profiles-daemon (I don´t know autocpufreq).

The key point especially for my usage was to enable as much as possible video hardware acceleration for every app especially the browser (firefox for me).
Archwiki is your friend for that.
Also for intel graphics you should make sure that the graphics micro controller is used (Guc) for media decoding. It is also well explained on the intel graphics Archwiki page (guc/huc firemare loading).
Agreed, and in other passages Laozi does repeatedly use 愛, which corresponds more closely to our general idea of "love" than 慈 does. So one would have to wonder how this translator would distinguish 愛 from 慈, if they insist on translating the latter as "love".

How long would have taken the EU to mandate USB C? Why should we have to wait on slow bureaucrats to come up with a standard?

How would USB C ever become “a standard” if no one could come out with one first because they had to wait on the law to change?

BTW, USB C is not “mandated” yet. If they did “mandate” it, are they going to “mandate” that the cords standardize on a power delivery? video out? A certain data speed? Protocols the vendors must support?

Will “the standard” be like the indecipherable 99 section 11 chapter GDPR that made the web worse and festered with cookie pop ups?
>Perhaps you're tunnel visioning on a particular kind of hierarchy, a violent dominance hierarchy. But those haven't been a thing in social animals for a while now, because tyrants meet untimely ends when the herd grows wise.

Violent dominance is a very good way to describe hierarchy in many extant social mammals. Tyrants arise every day in both human and non-human animals. We aren't a century removed from one of the worst here in 2022. Are you thinking of eusocial mammals? The'yre closer to what you're describing here.

Actually, the designers of TPC-C were ahead of their time - they deliberately designed TPC-C to not be trivially shardable. The new order transaction, which is the heart of the workload, is required to cause a read outside of a shard 1% of the time [0] for each of the 10 on average items in a new order. So, 10% of the time on average, the workload should emit a cross-shard transaction.

A correctly implemented TPC-C workload does actually need to issue cross-shard transactions. There are a lot of "TPC-C-like" workloads that don't actually implement this behavior, though, along with other harder to handle attributes like foreign keys and sleep/wait time.

TPC-C is really an enduring, interesting benchmark.

The right hardship is likely to pay. But only in hindsight can we look back and say what the right hardship was, and that's the tricky part. However, enduring the exact same hardships your earlier generations endured because it worked for them has never paid. Fortune has always favoured those who do something new and different.

Last time I recieved a series of marketing messages over SMS, they implied I'd opted in, and included links to opt out. This went on for a year. Not often, about once a week, varying.

I thought I must have "opted in" non-consensually on some website (dark patterns abound), but I couldn't figure out which one. After a while I decided they were spam and it was best to not click the product links or opt-outs. Same reason we were taught to not click the opt-out links in spam email: Telling them a real person is reading increases your address's value as a target..

It took over a year before I spotted on my mobile bill that these were incoming premium rate SMS. This is in the UK, where incoming SMS is normally free, but each of these messages added a few £ to the mobile bill. They weren't spam, they were designed to look like spam! So the recipient would just ignore them if they were infrequent. They took about £100 total.

When I spoke with the mobile service provider, they said I must have agreed to receive them and I should contact the sender. As if I could figure out who they were and as if scammers would care. Later the provider said it was a known, common form of fraud but sorry, they couldn't block it or compensate.

Needless to say, I'm wary of incoming SMS that seems like marketing now. Even a message asking if I'd like to opt in would have me checking my next bill to see if it was SMS fraud, unless I recognised the connection to somewhere I agreed to receive messages from.

why should the ports be different? why not standardize the ports? even then, we have color coding on USB 3, why not take that further?
like USB14 has RED on both USB port and cable end, different for USB 63?

in the example, the USB63 port would have USB63 written on the top of port itself so user, even a non-technical user can go to the market and find USB63 cable.....

edit: like a TV can have USB65 port and the documentation states it would support cables USB40-66 so you could go and buy any of them. the documentation would list, USB41 only does 4K 60, USB44 4K 120, USB50 8K 60, USB51 8K 60x2.

on the device side, your laptop would tell you, "your laptop support cables USB 50-60 so you can decide to NOT buy any cable from USB40-49 because your laptop wont support it but your TV can so if you wanted them to work together, not buy them....
And that's part of what others are saying. Some class of developers want POSIX, but POSIX is _terrible_ to horizontally scale.

I've tried a couple times at different companies to get developers to stop assuming POSIX and switch to object storage as their persistent byte abstraction layer.

Trying to scale POSIX is a dead-end. Every time I try and see people build it, it's a big pile of suck. For example, CephFS. Yea, it works, but it still sucks compared to object storage. There's just no magic in the universe that will get you around the CAP issues with trying to make POSIX work over a network.

Besides what bcrosby says, old people hold on to real estate "as an investment". In many cases they actively prefer that it be unoccupied, because occupants complain and want repairs done, and so on.

Or, in the case of "world cities" like London, wealthy (nearly all old) people from shaky and shady regimes around the world buy them as places to escape to if need be.

As well as falling household size in occupied dwellings, the proportion of unoccupied dwellings in these cities increases far above the percentage normal for the delays inherent in ordinary buying and selling.

IIRC Paris is attempting to combat this with a surtax on dwellings unoccupied for long periods.
First of all I appreciate showing the numbers of removals. You've shown the number of removals is sky high -- 0.3% number of removals PER YEAR as there are children. While the same child may be removed multiple times, were it the case it were a unique child each time that would come out to a roughly 5% chance of a removal over the period of custody. Of course CPS will claim basically all those removals are valid, but we have very little independent third party verification to see if that is actually the case.

Unfortunately, again, you were unable to provide what percent of charges (or in your presentation, removals) are actually frivolous. You counter a very small chance of stranger kidnapping (less than 1k a year) with "legitimate" CPS kidnapping at 275k a year. Orders of magnitude more relevant -- Wow!

So you have really no data to present here, other than a ceiling of roughly 5% chance at the worst, which is absolutely bone-chillingly large. Plenty significant enough to take it seriously when you see people being charged for letting their kid play at the park. People take precautions about pools and guns, etc, both of which have a lower percent chance than our possible CPS ceiling here of unexpectedly removing the child from your arms.

Atomic clocks are not required. That's a misunderstanding of what they're used for.

That Atlantic article fascinated me, but 1. It does not really say what you are claiming it says and 2. I disagree with the author's impression he was not psychotic. That whole "I've decided to kill" quote drove it home for me. First sentence is absurd, then the rest of the excerpt is very typical anosognosia.

In fact I've read the manifesto before and I concluded you can't separate his message from his psychosis and violence, and it has a recognizable quality that I've seen before in people close to me with that kind of illness. He was smart, but having such a disorder doesn't mean you're intellectually disabled. Just look at John Nash or Vincent van Gogh.
Unsurprising, in my usage of GitHub, I'm usually completely disinterested in what others are doing. Maybe they could occasionally feature really interesting hand-picked projects.

If inflation is a purely monetary phenomenon caused by printing money, why do Telangana and Sikkim experience higher inflation than the national average?

> I haven’t run the numbers but if you were to chart inflation vs the money printing done by an economy, you’d likely find a positive correlation.

As a member of the Eurozone, Estonia can't print money. That didn't stop it from inflation hitting 23%.

It's almost as if inflation is influenced by local factors...

Admit that the pavlova and flat white are Australian and we'll include you.
Indeed. The question asks you to rank responses. Furthermore,

> The problem statement says "find the record" but all the answers are about printing the median age.

No. it doesn't. It asks you to "compute the median age" without asking about any records.

> she has a file of personnel records [2022 update: an Excel sheet] and asks you to develop a program to compute the median age of the personnel in the file. Here are four different ways you might respond:

So the textbook asks you to rank possible ways to respond, and the hypothetical is just asking "can you process this list and tell me the median age". No one in any context is asking for a record.
You just proved CPS takes action way more than the kind of fear mongering stuff (stranger kidnapping / stranger commiting murder). For instance, in the largest county in my state up to 60% of black homes may end up investigated by the time the child is 18. [0] Fear mongering?

This is very cool! This technology will open the door to preview environments in CI/CD.

If you also have a versioned filesystem you can efficiently create lots of snapshots that store VM images differentially you can introduce a branchable/versioned environments for the whole backend and tie it to the repo commit hash.
Building a robust email system for CourtListener Alerts and Emails
At CourtListener we send thousands of emails each day. We recently migrated to AWS SES and learned a ton of lessons beyond DMARC/SPF/etc.

Getting all of those parts right is important, but you also have to handle bounces, down recipient servers, full inboxes, changed email addresses, and a lot more.

It's been a ton of work getting this set up, so we thought we'd share our notes.
Thank you very much for the kind reply. I will try it out on one of my vps servers. Looking to have some fun when performing analysis afterwards. Thanks!
I’d agree with most of this but frankly when was the last time your car engine stopped on the highway? Or was hard to start because it was hot, or cold, or just because? These problems are solved in cars. The old Cessna 172 models I’ve flown all continue to have these issues, even a friends SR22 from the mid 2000s was a nightmare.

Plane engines are well understood, but they are old and clumsy designs that could be drastically improved upon.
Circumventing a warrant is not legal and if challenged in court, would be overturned.
