> I am in favor of double-blind, non-public peer reviews because I don't want to invite 4Chan into my daily work.

At least for mathematics papers, the community who works in a particular area, and is thus actually able to do a review the paper, is pretty small. Since, on the other hand, the style that you use for mathematical proofs is like a fingerprint, double-blind peer reviews are next to impossible.
Really the second lowest form of art, either wish fulfillment, slander or both. They're only good when explicitly framed as wish fulfillment or slander.

It will never be the lowest form of art as long as the biopic still exists, though, which are simply conscious manipulations of the historical record for the sake of contemporary interests 98% of the time, and 2% of the time dramatized semi-verbatim transcripts of the historical record.
Journey goes to a lot of trouble both to make the 'matchmaking' entirely seamless, and to limit player interaction to constructive/team actions.

They spent a lot of time tuning those mechanics with the stated intent of making multiplayer that was cooperative and positive.

I think what they achieved is generally quite impressive.
No, it’s just not the bank’s fault. Probably (jurisdictions may differ) the recipient is required to return funds unintentionally sent to them.
The most obvious reason you can’t do that is that modern airliners have pressurized fuselages.

The other answer would be that they would have to expend a huge engineering effort and am mount of money to end up with an aircraft that does what the b-52 already does.
What is the overhead of the spectre mitigations? I read a PhD dissertation showing that v8 suffers a 20% overhead in practice. People can sugar those numbers, but I wouldn't expect another userspace-emulator-like program to behave differently. Is this number in the ballpark for wasmtime?
Not really notable but I know of this impacting local businesses in my area due to the labor shortage

* nursery where I buy plants couldn’t find laborers over this past spring/summer and decided to close up shop. It was a pretty big operation as they go. Owner was near retirement age and the land is probably worth 10x the business at this point so just decided to call it quits because he couldn’t do the basic stuff of caring for plants/moving them around.

* dog boarding/kennels/grooming seems to be hit very hard on labor shortage. The place I board our pets is at 50% capacity due to labor shortages, probably a downward spiral

* several/most restaurants in downtown area never reopened because of no staff

* I work for a healthcare company and we actually have nursing homes temporarily closed as mentioned as an example. We almost had to close a few of our ICUs with ventilators during peak Covid because we had no staff. In some cases, FEMA nurses actually came in to help keep it open. Anything with a mandated staffing ratio is challenging at the moment. It’s improving as Covid cases improve though.
Can you send me some screenshots? Very possibly you have some ClearType parameters set wrong on your system. We absolutely do test on 1080p (though I admit my work machines are all retina/4k at this point).
> In the olden days, Excel had a very awkward programming language without a name. “Excel Macros,” we called it. It was a severely dysfunctional programming language without variables (you had to store values in cells on a worksheet), without locals, without subroutine calls: in short it was almost completely unmaintainable. It had advanced features like “Goto” but the labels were actually physically invisible. [...] I was supposed to come up with a solution to this problem. The implication was that the solution would have something to do with the Basic programming language. Basic? Yech!

Take a look at this 4-minute video: Excel Magic. This engineer demonstrated the implementation of many sophisticated simulations, entirely in Excel, including flight simulators, orbital mechanics, digital signal processing, ray-tracing, heat transfer, chemical reaction dynamics, and more.

I don't know what to say... On one hand, I clearly understand that, due to the programmability with macros and VBA, the express power of Excel is as powerful as any "real" programming language, and in fact, a lot of real-world engineering calculations are indeed performed in Excel, the prevalence of Excel in engineering is almost terrifying. Imagine solving differential equations numerically using 10,000 cells in Excel, yes, it has been done! I respect their skills and achievements.

On the other hand, it just looks painful to me, and feels like constructing a skyscraper using a toothpick.
I'm currently going through this book and it's amazing. Any tips on where to go once I finish it?
It's been a while since I've seen the name NetBeans! It was basically the Java IDE for a little while there, until Eclipse took over. Eclipse basically won because NetBeans used Swing for UI, and Swing was hot garbage back then -- the features were otherwise almost exactly the same.

Neat to see the project still hanging on, albeit pretty tenuously.

I am pretty sure that almost all conveniences are possible without any surveillance. The benefit would be even more security without any downsides.

What are you talking about? This is what cashier's checks are for. Every sane seller is going to accept a cashier's check. That's what they're for. You can even call the bank that issued it to verify it's valid.

Of course you use a check. Not a personal one, but a cashier's one.
The NetBeans page does not even say what it is.

What you've stated here is your experience, now if you try to extrapolate the thinking/investment model you've used to large number of people - there is very limited upside and very high downside.
Just something as simple as setting up a threadpool adds up timewise if you do it in serial. It can easily be that making it faster adds up use cases where processes are not possible today because they would be too slow to set up compared to the alternatives.

What I missed from the presentation is some discussion about the asyncronicity of the clone calls. Yes, the average time of cloning once is 30us, but if you queue up two of them at once, how long does that take? Will it just sum or will the total time be shorter? Today there are applications that set up a thread pool by recursively open new threads, both in the original thread and in the forked ones. That is more than a little bit icky and could perhaps be simplified with this.

I can't imagine what I would feel like if my company said something like this and I was a white guy. I guess I would be really sad, offended and discriminated.
Makes no difference, in the analogy this is passing the gun to someone else and telling them to pull the trigger. You still get life for that, it's still considered murder.
Wasn't porn the first ecommerce offering? Like they were the pioneers of "give me your credit card we give you porn." or is that an urban legend, I swear I've heard this remarked here on HN before, I just don't have any solid citations.

Yes, hence "incontrovertible evidence." I think the GP was trying to introduce some ambiguity with "inspired" instead of "manipulated."
Hard to argue that having this functionality in the type itself is better than having to do so in images. It has big advantages over SVGs, as well. I can copy styled text, for example.

So it's not like this would empower people to do ugly web design that they couldn't already do.

Per your point, I prefer CSS animations to having a blink tag, and people have managed to avoid using those too much the last 20 years.
While I do know that people do literally say "I have nothing to hide" this still feels like a strawman as I'm not sure how many people are seriously putting that forward in debates. Most people have something to hide.

I find privacy advocates tend to put things in a needlessly binary state when really this is a matter of risk assessment. I have plenty to hide, and I've confessed to various crimes in emails that I've saved on Google's servers. So yes, at some point in the future the government could piece that information together and come arrest me. That could happen. But how likely is it?

Similarly, with location history - yes, Google could be compromised and they could sell this information. Yes, it does mean that people (in this scenario) could piece together my schedule and work out the best time to burgle my home but any routine I have is (or was) me going into the office at about 8 and coming home at about 6. What my job is available via LinkedIn and is a matter of public record anyway. My name and address is on the electoral roll. Since I have almost nothing worth stealing, this sophisticated criminal operation would be going to a fair amount of effort for questionable benefit.

The analogy with speech doesn't fit for me - it feels much more like that other American passion - self-defence. I could definitely boost the defences of my home - traps and strategically located knives and so on. I could master several martial arts in case I am attacked on the street. But that's all more effort than I can be bothered with. That doesn't mean I leave my front door wide open but a secure front door (that I close and lock) is enough at home and some basic awareness is enough on the street. Likewise, I don't tell everyone I meet my passwords or bank details but yes, I let Amazon save my payment details because the risks seem acceptable.
Yes, and there are comments about Broadcom's history of price gouging after acquisitions.
For Java development, I struggled with every IDE other than IntelliJ. It just seems to get more things right and can ingest and work with things like Gradle vs Maven, Spring Boot, decompiling 3rd party jars for debugging if you don't have the source, running a Windows UI driving a project that's inside WSL, etc. It's expensive, but worth it enough that I've paid for it when a company would not.
Either way, just like I wouldn’t want a religious zealot who has convictions about performing an abortion while my wife is laying their bleeding, I wouldn’t trust the judgement of an anti-vaxxer.

One of my best friends who lived in Seattle whose wife did have complications during pregnancy. He told his doctor that in no uncertain terms if they had to make a choice between his wife and his unborn son, to save his wife’s life. They had to perform a c section early to save his wife. His son is healthy and thriving and he had a vasectomy soon after their child was born to not risk another pregnancy and they adopted a child.

He said in today’s climate. If he had lived in a state like Texas, he would have found another job and moved.

Despite its name, Tornado Cash was not a currency. There wasn't such a thing as "4.2 Tornado Cash" that you could trade for goods and services. The operations it supported were depositing money in exchange for a secret and using that secret to withdraw that money in full, and the only intended use case was to disguise the source of your funds.

I mean everyone wants that. Why give a small group of people so much power to achieve it? Doesn’t the US government have enough power over people’s finances already to achieve those aims?

There is no such nonsense in civil law that the entire world except the US and the UK use.

Civil law is precise. What needs to be done and what are the consequences are explicitly written. Courts just enforce the law. They cannot 'interpret' the law, stretch or shrink it, they definitely cannot CHOOSE to do anything. The law is the law. If you demonstrate that you fulfilled the criteria for a regulation, that's it - nobody can do anything by 'interpreting' things just like how it flies in common law.

> would NEVER DARE challenge Chinese companies

Chinese companies stick to regulations to the letter. They know what civil law is since China also has civil law. They know that civil law cannot be avoided or worked around how common law can. Like how corporations constantly do in the US.

What's pathetic is a lot of Angloamericans living under a legal system that is remnant of the medieval times, descending from the hodgepodge of 'decrees, traditions and precedents' that people used back at that time, where the judge literally plays the role of the feudal sovereign and 'interprets' things however he wants, leading to entire legal system ending up a quagmire of interpretations, precedents, lawyerly lying and sly loopholes. And when an US corporation cannot do the same thing anywhere else in the world, people like you come up ranting about those who actually do law right.

No wonder the legal system is a mess in the US. A quagmire that requires deep pockets to get any justice out of it. Making everything expensive. Leading to your best brains to be pushed into law sector, draining them from critical fields like STEM.
what exactly do yo think the bank would be reporting to the IRS?
I worked a summer as a postal carrier in the US, and I was surprised at how far off from the official address standard you can get and still get delivered.

For reference, our address standard is ## Street Name,<cr> City, State, ZIP.

There was one neighborhood in particular that had a name like "Edgeview Cottages", and instead of getting letters addressed to 20 Apple St, you'd see Edgeview #20. It's crazy how people expect the post office to be able to figure this out.
Sometimes having a strong competitor has an advantage. It becomes a team game on who is worse and the question if both are terrible doesn't get the focus it might need.

I think because most of these sites are dominated by user uploads, it doesn't really help to have a great tagging system, because inevitably you end up with a huge library of videos with insufficient/wrong tags. Arguably the majority will have shitty tags, lots of misspellings, etc. The consequence is if you did an AND search with 6 tags say, you'd end up exclude most if not all the results that would match your query if properly tagged.

Weeaboo sites seem to be an exception for some reason, probably because the average community member is obsessive/hoardy enough to give a shit about tagging at all.

Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression lens.

You are mistaken. The letter is quite clear.
There are a lot of comments quickly taking issue with and interpreting the phrase “anti-racist” as being actively racist.

If you give Jeff he benefit of the doubt here, you can read this to say they’re going to think about whether layoff choices are made with implicit bias and/or racism and be thoughtful about that.

It’s possible that the non-benefit of the doubt interpretation is valid, but I don’t see evidence of that here.

HN is a place where debate is welcomed, but drive-by comments accusing them of going out of their way to lay off white and Asian employees when there is no indication that’s what they’re doing is not helpful to the discourse.
I had a friend who wired hundreds of thousands to the wrong account and it was returned after what I recall a lot of stress and wondering if it would come back and him on the phone a lot. Worked out in the end. I don't know if they'd put as much effort into someone only wiring small sums.
'Empire' does not mean 'great polity'. It is a specific political construct. And the US is closer to an actual empire than China ever is.
If that's true (your statement, not mine), this just means that compensation fast fast-food employees get is completely fair.
Careful, my grandmother almost got scammed by a lawyer she knew and had done business with for decades. She is an accountant. He was leveraging her trust in him to get her to sign a power of attorney granting him control of her finances and estate after her death (intermixed in a bunch of estate planning docs). She was about 80 at the time but was still able to catch it.

Don't trust anyone.

I propose that the gun fires, and divine providence can refuse my wish!

More seriously: this is actually an interesting point. But I don't think it overrides the argument: nobody would propose a thing if they had a strong reason to believe that it would be immediately refused. The Tornado Cash developers had every reason to believe that the Ethereum network would pick up their code, and that is in fact what happened.
Show HN: Deptry, a tool to check for dependency issues in a Python project
If you want different policies, go for the policy not technological circumvention.
Hi!
I have recently been working on a project called `deptry`, a command line tool to check for issues in the dependencies of Python projects. It can be used to find obsolete, missing, transitive and misplaced development dependencies. It supports the following types of projects:

- Projects that use Poetry and a corresponding pyproject.toml file

- Projects that use a requirements.txt file according to the pip standards

---

* Documentation: https://fpgmaas.github.io/deptry/

* GitHub repository: https://github.com/fpgmaas/deptry

---

I am quite happy with the project in its current form, but I also realise there is still a lot of room left for improvement. Therefore, I hope some people are willing to give it a try and provide me with feedback. So; if you have a project with a long list of dependencies and a little bit of spare time on your hands, please give it a try and let me know what you think!

If you encounter any issues, find a bug, or have any other form of feedback, please don't hesitate to raise an issue in the GitHub repository, or leave a comment here.

Kind regards,

Florian

P.S. Many thanks to Hirokazu Takaya (https://github.com/lisphilar) for incorporating it in the CI/CD pipeline of his project covid19-sir (https://github.com/lisphilar/covid19-sir). It provided me with very valuable early feedback.

To be clear, I am 100% onboard with diversity and inclusion, I do believe in giving a fair chance to under-represented groups and I'd be happy to report discrimination in my organization to HR so that we can all build a more positive work environment for my coworkers.

But this is something else, instead of saying "we will fire the bottom 11% of performers in the team" or "we fire the bottom 11% based on seniority", they come outright and say that when choosing between two "similar" employees they will fire the least "diverse" person. It's madness.

Over the years some of my clients got trapped into being Twilio customers through acquisitions.

Without exception every engagement with this company has been a disaster. I have gone to great lengths to get all my clients away from toxic Twilio because I view dealing with them as an unacceptable risk due to incompetence.

Maybe they should focus on retaining the COMPETENT staff whoever they are beause they really seem to have a problem supporting their own products and services.
