They must either take the cash or forgive the debt, no matter what the sign says. If they don't want cash they shouldn't have served you food until they got their preferred payment method, in which case you could just walk out without having eaten and owe them nothing. Since they decided to serve you, then you now owe them money, which you must be allowed to pay back in cash with US currency. This rule is written on the face of the currency itself.

You know what else was a bad year for influenza? 1918.

Look up how many deaths occurred in the 2-year 1918-1919 period.
I believe around 2015/2016, a verified account I follow changed his name and avatar (but not username) to "Italian Elon Musk", and a Mario mustache and hat superimposed on Musk's then avatar. He made many posts along the lines of "I skippa tha taxes! Mamma mia!". Pretty obviously a joke, and after a while (I think a few days), he lost his tick, which I think was in a way his goal all along.

So if you're saying such changes for verified accounts have been disallowed since 2012, and if my dates are somewhat accurate, then I don't think that's right. But maybe you're just saying it used to be disallowed around 2012, not that it became disallowed then.

> and not c/c++, so it can be used in much more wide usecases.

Because porting a small, simple Javascript library to other languages is typically very easy if you really need it, and C/C++ are a lot more of a pain to implement certain things in?

And I say this as someone who is writing C/C++ (and Nim) daily for work.

If it is a teaching exercise: more people know Javascript than they know C and C++, and there are numerous high-quality provers in C/C++ already that one can use if it's for actual usage, and not just learning.

There are plenty of reasons.
>The core implementation is under 700 lines of JS, including the parser: https://github.com/moonad/FormCoreJS/blob/master/FormCore.js

Unfortunately, the source code size isn't the main problem with provers. The UX is much more important one.
Sorry if I wasn’t clear, but I’m saying that it’s easy when handling the small removable wallet to accidentally touch the non-shielded side of the wallet. Both my Popwallet and the Apple wallet have essentially the same design. A shielded pouch for credit cards, and a magnetic backing that attaches to the phone. The magnetic back cannot be shielded on the side that attaches to the phone, or it wouldn’t attach to the phone. The problem is not insufficient shielding on the inside of the wallet, the problem is the way apple designed the system. Apple designed a small removable wallet with magnets on one exterior face of the thing. When handling the magnetic wallet I’ve found myself accidentally touching my card to the unshielded side of the wallet. I think the way apple designed it, their solution is “don’t do that”, but it’s very easy to do.
“A tiny MCU” in this case means Microcontroller Unit, not Marvel Cinematic Universe. Don’t expect to find Antman running around on your chip preventing fraud.

From the article: "One such limitation is that a community sample recruited through internet databases has limited psychopathy; future research could utilize an offender sample to bridge that gap..."

While I do not doubt the conclusions, particularly, I am not sure this is particularly persuasive evidence. It might make sense to have done this first, before the (much more expensive and time-consuming) later project of gathering data on actual psychopaths, and also checking if this is only something you see in the sub-population of males who do lots of Mechanical Turk work.

Again, not that I particularly doubt the conclusion.
> There is no way the freemium nitro barriers keep discord from going under, Discord's entire hope is that eventually it will be bought out by a tech giant

And yet they have not been purchased yet.

> Discord collects everything you do inside

Make a post on HN saying "disable newrelic if you value user privacy" and see how well that goes.

> Things tracked outside the program include : programs you run and other system specific information that can identify your hardware (such as your HWID's)

Discord does not collect the programs you run on their server. It does scan for them to enable the game tracking feature. See the post by u/GlenMerlin:

> Logging your opened apps is an optional setting (mostly done to detect discord rich presence for games, so your friends can see you're playing halo infinite and join with one click) and you can turn it off and the data is stored locally.

> All it takes is 1 breach to make every message you ever sent public information.

I can assure you extracting any sizable fraction of Discord's messages will incur at least a few hundred petabytes of data transfer fees within a day, triggering DLP alerts or maybe even regular billing "unnatural increase in data transfer costs" alerts. Even if Discord were hacked, their infrastructure makes actually downloading user data both infeasible and riskier than just dumping the user DB containing emails and hashed passwords. To add, that's just for data stored on the server - the actual "science" api containing things like how you use Discord likely accumulates hundreds of petabytes worth of data a month on its own, it'd be easier to download the generated user behavior reports than to download the data itself.

The E2E criticism is valid but users obviously don't care enough to move off of Discord, even with the privacy campaigns against them and efforts to move communities over to Guilded.
It’s more common than you’d think. Posting on Hacker News is generally not going to change your risk profile in such cases.
This was excellent. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve had the readers at Home Depot occasionally fail to read my chip card. The last time it happened an employee told me that the readers were designed for slightly thicker cards than some banks are using and so don’t always make contact but if you lightly press down on the exposed end after you insert it that lifts the chip end up enough to be read.

I’ve had no problems with their readers since I started doing that.
TLDR of the article:

Usually, the last 2 expired tokens (-60 seconds) and the immediate next token (+30 seconds) other than the current one (+0 seconds) are accepted, but it’s up to the actual implementation.

Despite this, it's safe to say that you don’t have to rush it: even though 1 second is left you can safely copy/paste the token and it will likely be accepted!
It’s imperative programming with dots/infix sigils and either a little or a lot of ceremony.

I'm not sure if I would call this a "silver lining". In parts of Europe (I noticed it especially in Germany and Austria) they were normalized to a point were a lot of non-techsavvy people now think "QR codes" are kind of synonym to successful "digitalisation".

It's now even more painful to watch misguided attempts to digitalize shitty (business/administrative...) processes. QR codes just feel like the poor man's blockchain.

Google as company tries to establish an "engineering-driven" culture where how things get done matter.

Years ago, they tried to temper the bias-toward launches with a need for actual "impact" -- this led to a common saying of "Landings, not launches."

We end up with an amalgamation of technical complexity and launches as demonstrations of impact instead.

The problem is... The visibility and measurement of "landings" usually takes time, and the amount of time needed can be well-beyond the horizon of when a regular-level employee needs to be able to have their performance and promotion assessed. The effects of some things may take a year or longer to see. And as said above, measuring actual impact isn't always easy.

Wow. This year in my area, a lot of the restaurants started charging 3% extra if you DON'T use cash.

The problem is with the system Apple designed. They have a small removable wallet with magnets on the back. While I’m using a Popwallet brand wallet with my iPhone, the way it is designed I don’t think the official wallet would be any different. It has to have one side with exposed magnets per Apple’s design, and when handling the removable wallet I’ve found myself accidentally touching the magnetic side with my card. I genuinely don’t think it would be different with the official wallet.
I buy Apple devices specifically because the value proposition is simple. I give Apple money and they give me goods and services. Their interest are aligned with mine.

Carriers have been fighting sims for years because it makes it too easy to switch carriers. I think TMobile is the first one out of the gate to do this.

In some ways we are pretty spoiled here in Australia, with regards to fintech adoption. The local farmers markets either take cash or contactless (or both depending on the stall).

Amgen must be happy. KRAS inhibitors have been a recent target recently, notably for NSCLC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sotorasib

I should note that not all cancer cells exhibit KRAS mutations, so if this ARS1620 can get cancer cells to express more KRAS mutations (if biopsy shows KRAS mutations exist), now we have something to target.

Reminds me of other therapies that need some type of expression on the cancer cells to enhance inhibotrs, like using the cowpea mosaic virus, TROP2, PIK3 expressions. I think this is where immunotherapy is going next, to take an expression, force cells to over express it (specific mutations that healthy cells rarely have), then bind inhibitors to target the cell for apoptosis.

"Mr. Chouinard does not own a computer or a cellphone."
No, I mean this:

def f(x):
g = lambda : x
x = 2
return g()

f(42)

What is does f(42) return?

Holy fuck, I simply cannot just cut and paste the above into Python as-is, because of the "unexpected indent" which I added so that HN shows that as quote. It's complaining about an unexpected indent.

Kill. Me. Now.

Anywway:

>>> def f(x):
... g = lambda : x
... x = 2
... return g()
...
>>> f(42)
2

So what it looks like is that there is only one x in the function, established by the parameter. This x is captured by the lambda, and is then reassigned the value 2. The lambda retrieves the 2.

For completeness we show that if x is not assignmed, g accesses f's argument value:

>>> def f(x):
... g = lambda : x
... return g()
...
>>> f(42)
42

I was in the process of creating my own language in racket. It was going to codify everything I had learned over the years into powerful abstractions and target JavaScript.

Halfway though I realized I was inventing a shittier Purescript.

Dsls are mostly masturbation. Custom syntax? Custom evaluation semantics? I always regret it after like cocaine.

The only thing macros are reasonable for is custom bindings.

Most people are not qualified to invent dsls. Myself included. And the people who are qualified don't need "language oriented programming" ala racket. They can spin up a lexer which is the least complicated part of the task anyway.

As for types, they have a HUGE power to weight ratio. All of my efficiency gains in Clojure due to macros were forfeited 10x over hunting down null pointer exceptions at runtime.

I still love Racket. And I still prototype in Clojure. But Haskell brings you closer to math. Closer to category theory.

Most programmers don't need new symbols and semantics. They need a deeper understanding of combinatorial logic.

Reminds me of when I worked at AT&T, on a team that was running a very small file transfer service internal to the corporate firewall. Literally a couple week project that you'd find in a tutorial.

We were asked to check in with the accessibility folks to make sure everything was good with our emails that we were sending. It was a completely plain-text email, so just about the most accessible you can get, so I didn't expect any issues. We had a QA person who was blind look it over informally and said it was great.

The accessibility people said we had to undergo a formal review, and they could do it in six to ten, nbd.

I asked what unit of six, like six weeks? No, six to ten months. And we would have to stop sending email in the interim, for sure, definitely not permitted.

After all, our emails didn't even have all the graphics and corporate branding (and features to make the graphics and corporate branding "accessible") that were required. No, there's no guidelines, the committee has to review it.

I informed them that the CTO of the company was using the file transfer service for sending out his weekly meeting slides. No more complaints were received, and I left the company well before their timeline rolled around for review.

Would be interesting to know if the service was still operating and sending plain text emails.
I helped someone upgrade from an iPhone 7 to a 13 Mini. They’re both basically the same physical size. But it’s night and day.

The 13 is DRASTICALLY faster. The OLED screen looks far far better than the old LCD, and because the chin and forehead are gone it’s significantly bigger despite the similar case size. The 13‘s battery life is supposed to be significantly better despite more demanding software than the 7’s battery life was when it was brand new. The cameras are barely comparable quality wise.

That’s a top end 2016 phone compared to a medium+ end 2021 phone. And the difference is incredible.

If you go back to 2010 that would’ve been the first retina phone, the iPhone 4. With it’s little 3.5” display. At this point it almost looks like a different device.

They’ve not experienced the issue when touching a magnetic card to the magnetic side of the wallet, or they’ve not experienced the issue when placing the card in the shielded section? Because what I’m saying is the former is unfortunately very easy to do, and that would be easy no matter which brand holder is used.

When I was working there, I was surprised how many engineers did NOT work. I would see people watching Netflix all day, hitting the gym twice a day, sitting in cafes and chatting, taking tours of various cafes, even driving 30m each way to a different campus to eat at that cafe, sitting around to eat dinner while watching movies. They would get large groups of friends to dinner so they can eat for free, dick around all day, run after nonsense issues, create trouble, social justice warriors of all kinds ... there was one case I was completely baffled - a new hire wanting to change government policies around how contractors are paid and somehow it was Google HR problem to solve it.

My only intentions when writing the headline were to avoid the click-bait format of the original and to communicate that it is suspected that counterfeit electronic components somehow ended up in an F-16. That is supported by this sentence from the article:
