If you are a player with over 1000 rating, you don't even need the move to cheat at game.

All you need to know is when the crucial moment in the game appears then you can think of several lines of games from that point and you'll figure out the best move.

But spending that much effort on every move is mind numbing and exhaust you in no time

So a cheater only needs a signal to tell whether the current position is the decisive one in the game and then think very hard on this one before playing the best move.

So someone can run an engine and feed that as some signal to the player and then you win and win.
4. In Common Lisp, you can intercept the macroexpansion process with the macroexpand hook. This special variable, when bound to a hook function, allows macro expansion to be arbitrarily modified. All sorts of modifications to code can be performed in a dynamically controlled way without changing the source code being compiled.

> This spring I left a job working with payments in a SaaS for the self storage industry. I don't remember exact numbers but the overwhelming majority of the card present payments we processed were either keyed by hand or swiped with a magtek reader. A great many self storage companies are mom and pop operations that only have one or two locations, often run by retirees to supplement their retirement income. Needless to say they (and the industry as a whole) are highly resistant to change.

In Europe you can buy card terminals for €30 with no monthly fee, and you don't even have to be a registered business entity.

Now that I check, that same company exists in the US too:

I don't see how Clojurescript is a good thing here, it's probably the most inefficient and with the most overhead of all the compile to JS languages (with out talking too much about react with penpot uses), even highly optimized pure JS won't come anywhere near the performance of Figma's C++ engine. Yes, performance for this tools matters.
Thanks for the feedback. DnD kit is amazing and the initial library also is so powerful [1]. But we still need a comprehensive solution. Committing changes to DOM with each interaction and shadow caching is not a sustainable solution for building interactive apps. React or any other framework is not designed for interactivity. So even if you are using React you are not actually getting the benefit of React to reconcile because you still committing changes directly to DOM. That's why I built DFlex which has its own reconciler and transformation mechanism.

I can't think of any other company to which my relationship as a customer has swung so completely as Adobe. In the 2000s, their tools were unsurpassed, and I was happy to pay the premium prices they asked (though I'd skip versions to save money). When Creative Suite was discontinued, that was a pretty abrupt turn, as I had no interest in a subscription for software I only used for personal projects.

And yet, I stayed on with Lightroom, thinking that so long as Adobe still had competition in that market, they'd keep it a one-off license. Then, one day, upon discovering some compatibility issues with the latest MacOS and the version of Lightroom I was using, I thought I'd check what the latest version of LR had to offer – and discovered it had gone subscription-only as well, meaning my entire photo library would now be trapped on my old laptop unless I paid a monthly fee forever.

It was painful researching and trialing alternatives, ultimately migrating my library over to Capture One, but it turned me so completely against Adobe that I've actively requested employers not assign me a Creative Cloud license (the tools fortunately only being tangential to my role).
> a 2013 study conducted in the Netherlands found that women were taller than their male partners in just 7.5 percent of cases

Isn't that entirely to be expected just because men are on average taller than women? As a very quick 'n dirty numerical check, if you pick pairs of numbers from two normal distributions with means that are 2 standard deviations apart, only in 7.8% of the cases will the number from the distribution with the lowest mean be larger than that from the other distribution. In real life male and female heights aren't exactly normally distributed with the same standard deviation and just a differing mean, but is the true expected number of such pairs really much higher than 7.5%, that the result is significant?

A SPA is calling a backend as well... and the backend (SPA or not) still needs to handle the number locale (comma versus decimals), unexpected 'e', etc. Not sure what about this is a JS problem.
Typesense is so good (and affordable!). I'm so thankful y'all are providing an alternative to Algolia.

It feels similar to Render vs Vercel where clearly players like Vercel & Algolia make the big bucks from enterprise clients and thus make their services less accessible to small companies like mine.

Quick question with regards to vector search, do y'all intend on exposing some basic embedding service to your platform? I think it'd be pretty powerful to add a basic word2vec embedding model so that users who want to play around with vector search can simply just send some text and typesense would do the rest (convert text to embedding, index embedding, etc).

Just as you can buy goods from any country via purchase order and pay via invoice, you can do the same with labor.

The only administrative work involved is the rules required of the entity buying the labor. Plus local rules that constrain my personal interactions with the company, if me and the entity aren't in the same jurisdiction.

It’s in their theoretical scenario because it’s a common / obvious enough issue to appear there. Viruses often cause neurological symptoms, vaccines and medicines can do the same thing. Combine the two and it confounds the potential issues and ease of identification. That’s all I’m saying, to identify causes you need a lot of data.

Ethereum Classic’s hash rate has gone up by about 25% of Ethereum’s hashrate, so at least for now it looks like a lot of the energy use is just moving as miners point their GPU rigs at alt coins. Very curious to see if ETHW, ie Ethereum without the merge, maintains a significant amount of hashing power. Another thing to watch will be if those alt coins are profitable to keep mining or if miners will start selling their rigs.
Resistive screens have sub-pixel accuracy. First gen capacitative screens recommended UI elements be at least 1cm in size!

Microsoft's bread and butter has been productivity apps for so long, with dense UIs, that I honestly think designing for touch screens just collectively made people's heads explode.

Of course the answer is you don't need all of Excel on a mobile device all the time, but it took Microsoft literally decades to accept this.

Windows Mobile actually had some cool software, and this was back when everyone knew Win32 programming, but iphone had that sweet sweet app store and I'd guess that within a few years the number of ObjC developers grew to be larger than the number of Win32 developers, despite Win32 having almost a multi-decade head start!
How do I pay for more related content from Hacker News?
Yep. When I am hiring remote in US (out of state), we put a condition in the contract that you will notify us if you are planning to move from your home state because we may have to establish tax residency/nexus in that state as an employer. If an employee moves somewhere else and lies about it, it can put both the employee and employer at serious risk of violating compliance/HR/tax laws. For example, there is something called Workers Compensation that the employer has to buy. If an employee gets injured while working, workers comp. may matter based on the location of where they were at the time and can get denied if there are discrepancies. As an employer, we absolutely cannot risk having employees working from anywhere when they are supposed to work from specific locations only. No one likes these stupid laws but we have to follow it as an employer.

It is a little bit easier for international hires if they are just doing contract but even then things like W8-BEN etc come into play and dealing with IRS is always tricky and risky.

Honestly, if we are going fully remote (anywhere,anytime), we almost need a multi-national agreement/treaty so that employers are not left trying to deal with BS stuff. And no, services like Deel/remote.com are not enough.

> Like...they could go public

That's the option that has been chosen. That is not an alternative. The product will soon be in the hands of the public. That's also the worry as the public doesn't care about the product and thus won't put the product's interest in mind.

> or sell to a new owner that isn't already the biggest in the field

That's not really an alternative either with respect to the discussion about the new owners potentially letting the product languish or die. It is different, but still reaches the same outcome, potentially. You are still risking that the owner doesn't care about the product.

As discussed, selling to the customers would mitigate this, as they have reason to care about the product, but we already established that they didn't express interest. We would never want to force someone into owning it.

> Your imagination can't be this limited?

It is. Hopefully someone with an imagination will come along at some point. I'm quite interested to hear about alternatives.

Can you give an example of an invalid value in a number input that you can't retrieve, and explain how that's worse than the invalid value in a text field? I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what the problem is there.

As for min/max limits being bypassed and needing to do server-side validation also... well, yes? But, don't you have to do that even if you're using javascript for validation? The user could modify the DOM directly and replace the form control with one of their choosing that doesn't have javascript listeners, or submit a request from the javascript console, or even figure out all the required cookies and everything and submit a request with arbitrary params using `wget`. The server must always validate client input.
I have only one data point to go by, and that's from memory, but I'm not so sure about what you're saying.

The house I grew up in is a raised ranch ("high ranch") in a suburb within easy commuting distance to Manhattan (Rockland County, NY). My parents bought the house in 1969 for $40K, which seemed high to them at the time. Right now it probably fetches $450K easily, in this arguably inflated market. But I remember conversations from the last '80s where the house was thought to fetch $350-400K. The price dropped a bit after that period, and then went back up.

Maybe my memory is faulty. But I do remember a period in the "go-go" days of the waning Reagan Era where prices in that area were quite high.

This makes me happy that I didn't try to buy a house despite the rents going up in my area. I'm in an apartment so this isn't a big issue but it's still significant. In 2015, my apartment rent was 680/mo. Last month, the rent was 965/mo. I've moved into a renovated apartment in the same complex which moved me up to 1015/mo. So, I've seen some major jumps in the last few years there but it seems they're minor compared to the current changes happening for home owners.

Edit: Also, I don't pay for water, heat, or trash, so these prices with that in mind are a bargain in my opinion but for anyone else that isn't making my salary or similar it's still a pain.

My idea is we should regulate a lot of online services like we do landlords.

I remember years ago Microsoft thought someone was pirating their software so they started reading their emails looking for evidence. That seemed wrong to me. A landlord wouldn’t be allowed to snoop through your drawers if they thought you were stealing, they’d need to convince the police to get a warrant.

And in this discord case, once a company agrees to create an account for you and start providing service, they shouldn’t be allowed to “evict” you overnight for no good reason. There should be a proper process with protections when ending the relationship.

In case anyone's interested, from what i can tell from reading other writeups, there is no "honest fork" check. Each fork will independently deal with inactivity until they're able to finalise.

If that's the case, the article is correct in saying that a minority honest fork will finalise as would an honest supermajority fork. What it didn't mention is that the respective dishonest forks would too. If I've understood correctly.

I am myself quite short (168cm). Growing up I had no insecurities about it, because I only started becoming short after puberty. Anyway, there was a period between ages 21 and 25 when I was obsessed about my height. Natural selection is pretty cruel. If you have good looks do not take them for granted. Now I care less about my height and more about my lack of hair.

It is really not healthy to obsess over this stuff. As I said, natural selection is pretty cruel in general, but it is also stochastic in nature. Being short, or bald, is not a death sentence, although it does make things harder.

There's one thing I have to say though. If you're successful and you still need to go to such lengths to attract women, you have yourself to blame and not your height.
I guess I should have worded ir differently. My problem is that responsibilities are not well defined, expectations are vague and fluid, and this basically makes it impossible to know if you're doing well or not.

>> Yes, as a homebuyer you can offer a higher number on a house to win a bidding war, but why are banks allowed to appraise the house so damn high?
