This isn't about life and making illegal choices and going to prison and reforming. This is a competition with rules.

Should be that if you cheat- lifetime ban. Period.

Stop cheating dead except by the most desperate. Temporary bans are something cheaters are willing to take.

Lifetime bans are not.

We see time and again that when cheating is not rooted out it becomes endemic, as the only way to compete becomes to cheat. At that point the rules are suggestions.
Apple took 30 minutes when last I had them replace a battery…
My daughter is struggling with this problem: on TI-84s, "(-) 3 x^2 Enter" gives -9. Personally, I think that if you have a dedicated negation operator it should have a higher precedence than power, but at the very least the calculator could highlight what it's doing.

"Hypercalc" the Android app does it, but TI-84 is the standard..

Functional approach is always under consideration and a default.

OOP is useful in certain contexts (e.g. GUI elements) or simulations, otherwise it's better to use OOP in a dependency-injection way to construct the process then let the relationships be static while performing computation processes with them. The full dynamic reconfigure objects willy-nilly in an area where that doesn't reflect the problem itself is doomed to be a mess. Especially with threads using mutexes or collections that do.
Yep, I see that there are a lot of existing scrapers. Getting those up and running automatically on a backend host will make things a lot smoother.

Also, I recommend using Playwright instead of Selenium. I'm in the Discord now and will be hanging out, so looking forward to chatting more about this and contributing.
I doubt users of ARM based Macs are saying “I really want a laptop with a quarter of the battery life, gets hot enough to melt steel when I open three Chrome windows and sounds like a 747 and on top of that is slower”.

These days as long as consumers have Office, Adobe’s software and a good web browser, they don’t care.

Apple does have its own crawler - AppleBot. It uses its own “search engine” in parts of the interface.

When, for example, Google open sources their client libraries, it absolutely is a supply chain issue for their customers. The people working on those projects for Google aren’t doing it as a hobby. Their customers might not be paying them directly for those client libs, but they sure as heck are being billed at some point.

Eh, sounds like a really minor annoyance. It's clear that the PRs aren't your own content, unlike comments which you're sorta responsible for moderating or else you'll often end up with vile stuff all over your family-friendly blog post.
my point is that even though apple is not harmed by blocking TikTok, they still refuse to do it.

why the hell are big businesses so scared of China? money? these businesses should be put down if money allows a foreign and malicious entity to strongarm them. absolutely despicable.

Can anyone point to something that TikTok is doing that FB/Google/Twitter aren't already doing, that we should be concerned about?

All the anti-tiktok takes seem to be rooted in sinophobia and nationalist sour grapes. I don't like megacorps slurping my info up, but these conversations seem to have huge blinders around what has become standard practice for American web companies - especially when handling the data of foreign users.
Obligatory but futile plug for HP RPN calculators.
Our justice system is pretty busted, to be honest. And it's end to end busted - we trust police too much and with too much power, we don't have enough public defenders to protect everyone, we have long backlogs of cases, court fees and fines can be unending even if you are innocent (to say nothing about civil asset forfeiture), people are goaded into plea deals for crimes they don't commit, our jury selection process leaves a lot to be desired, our judges have done things like make deals to get a financial kickback for everyone they send to jail, our sentences are too long for minor crimes, our prisons are dangerously overcrowded making prison basically psychological and physical torture, we invest almost nothing on reducing recidivism, we fail to support inmates post incarceration and make it hard for them to find work, and we generally stigmatize anyone who has had a brush with the system.

All of the above plus the racial and income inequality, nonsense war on drugs, etc.

Yeah, I'd say we should all shudder quite a bit more about our judicial system.
Ask HN: Why do indie software projects ask for donations instead of charging?
I found this neat mouse utility today: https://neatdecisions.com/products/neatmouse/

I looked for a price. None.

Just a request for donation.

I find this often with the tools we software developers and engineers are most likely to use.

As software developers and engineers, we're among the wealthiest humans on the planet.

The companies we've built are among the most profitable in human history.

So, why is it so hard to ask us to pay for a product?

Why do we force each other to beg for donations?

It's just mind-blowing.

If he didn't know what happened to George Floyd, he wouldn't have asked "for an example". He would have asked "who is George Floyd?"

People don't ask for examples of proper nouns.

This is why fluent English speakers understood clearly that he wasn't asking for an example of George Floyd, and therefore was asking for an example of something else, an example that had not been provided.
I'm aware of their failed legitimate attempts to establish a presence in the government. I'm not trying to saying Ukraine is turning to nazism or fascism (I also don't know that much about their politics). But I imagine that 2% of military-minded, [semi-]trained and armed people is enough to wreck havoc on civilian regions.
What about technology that just sets oil fields on fire for no particular purpose? Seems pretty wasteful to me. Technology is never platonic. Concepts aren't a waste but their implementation certainly can be.

Bitcoin is the most obstinate to change on purely ideological grounds. It hasn't materially changed in almost a decade except to move the deck chairs around. This is the time at which one would expect the most change and yet Bitcoin changes the least out of all its peers. This is an intentional decision by both the community and the core team.

Adding green energy simply to waste guessing random numbers instead of decarbonizing the grid just adds to the e-waste Bitcoin is responsible for. Power distribution is a solved problem (only 5% of power is wasted in distribution in the US) - the issue is just NIMBYs refusing to put transmission infrastructure down. Bitcoin does not fix this.
It reminds me that back in 1983 they had sandbags running down streets directing floodwater into the lake and the lake level was rising so fast that there were crews working 24 hours a day to keep raising the dam so that the interstate highway didn't flood. The Union Pacific Railroad has a track that crosses part of the lake and they raised the track bed several times during that flood episode.

I have photos I took of machinery hauling rock and materials from the interstate which was about 25 feet lower than the lake surface at the time.

I have wondered why, instead of fighting to hold the lake off of the interstate, didn't they just let it go off across the salt flats while they built an elevated interstate highway section similar to that across Lake Pontchartrain.

The level of the lake would've been lower though the shoreline and surface extents of the lake would be much larger. By continuously raising the dam level they forced the water level higher in the populated area and flooded many shoreline attractions.

It's only water. Just let it go. It'll wash off.
they can steer the minds of impressionable kids.

I (not a kid tho) started using tiktok a few months ago and it was kind of good content mixed with algorithmic crap but what stood out to me was that I was getting an unproportional amount of anti tesla videos.

Like people wiggling parts in the interior and compairing them to their own chinese EV cars like MG. Multiple different accounts.
I wonder how much of that is culture?

For example, Dr. Carol Dewek studied kids with "growth mindset". Kids with such a mindset see failure as a path to more growth, whereas kids with "achievement mindset" do not.

I also think about things like:

- https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2018/06/09/6169288... ... Note here that the kids at the ages of 5, 7, etc. discussed in the article, will brag to each other about how helpful they are. However, their parents have been building their skills when they are toddlers and try to be helpful.

- There is an in-depth article about implementing the "old enough to run errands" in America. Again, the author did not just throw their kid out on the street. They invested a lot of time skill-building.

- The Montessori method, which emphasizes developing the capacity to be independent. Failure happens often

- A study on toddlers and babies, and the effects of seeing how long adults struggle on how much they will continue to try something before giving up

- Fred Rogers, commenting on leaving in footage where adults struggle and fail, and things don't go according to plan.

My son is 20 months old, and my wife and I have been incorporating ideas from above. I might show him that it is possible to do something, and let him try (and at times, fail, and learn from the failure). We also prompt him by asking him if he wants help.

Or put it another way: curate the environment, like you would when designing a video game levels to teach how to play, and smoothly increase the difficulty.
I agree, why wasn’t I allowed to bring my swords to school, just because other kids couldn’t be bother to learn good sword etiquette?

> Why not teach them good and healthy ways of using tools and technology?

They are. Good and healthy ways of using a phone when you should be paying attention and learning is to not.
I feel for the engineers and artists at Rockstar right now..

I don't think people realize how devastating this can be to them. Imagine you are working really hard on a creative project, coming up with different designs, prototypes, and solutions but then all of it gets leaked to the public without your consent.

After this leak, _all_ the mystery is gone.. we underestimate the rush of dopamine designers get from the validation of unveiling something beautiful and perfect to the public. Short of completely reworking major parts of this project, all they can do now is to improve the existing assets and build upon it.

Further, the executives might put more pressure on the teams since people are expecting a release, marketing has to crank up unexpectedly, PR needs to shift gear, security has to be tightened and so on. This is not a fun situation for anyone.

I hope the person responsible for this gets prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Manifest V2 deprecation is likely going to break extensions that inject userscripts, like Tampermonkey [0] and SurfingKeys [1]. The Chrome team has been rather unhelpful. They've promised to add support for power-user tools like these in MV3:

dotproto from the Chrome team commented on May 27 [2]:

> @mon-jai, the short answer is no, I don't have any updates to share. That said, I'll reaffirm that we plan to support userscript managers in Maniest V3 before the Manifest V2 deprecation.

But the deprecation is approaching and the Chrome team hasn't released any more information about this AFAIK. These extensions are going to require large refactors to support MV3 and they can't meaningfully start until the Chrome team elucidates how script injection will work. With MV2 deprecation coming so soon, I worry there won't be enough time.

I might not have been accurate enough. I don't mean to ask about things that are easily Googled. I really meant things that are company specific. If you ask me a question that I will then Google myself to answer you, I will also very probably form a not so great opinion of you, agreed. I also expect you not to wait until the evening to Google it if it gets you stuck right now.

Also I agree that not all companies reward this. Not all people do either and it's unfortunately necessary to 'hide your smarts' so to speak. That doesn't change my overall opinion though. At a good company / in a good team, you're going to be able to do that smart thing. And yes I see this all the time when onboarding new people. They're not used to it and 'hide' things. Ultimately it takes most of them way longer than it should to onboard and I might form a less than great opinion of them. On the contrary there was a team lead recently that asked lots and lots of "dumb questions" early on and asked them quickly as they came up. Instead of taking 2 weeks and still not being properly set up for everything, he was up and running without any issues within a day and could start working on stuff.
This story would be more balanced if they also included pictures of all the land irrigated by draining the Aral Sea. By only showing one side, it makes it look like there are no tradeoffs to refilling it.
It's the accepted order of operation in maths that you resolve multiplication and division before addition and subtraction.

While the single-value-view of a calculator removes visual context, if you are banging out multi-step calculations as a power user not having the standard order of operations would be odd.

The workaround, as you say, is to just press enter (equals) after each required subtotal. This is pretty semantically clear, that is - if you consider a traditional keyboard to even be a thing that young people are familiar with - and that is getting arguable!

Key corollary issues to the single-value-view nature of computer calculators are that they pull a lot of (now obtuse) cultural context from physical calculators plus regular mathematical context, none of which is obvious to occasional computer calculator software users.

It's probably high time this stuff was rejigged. Thanks for the paper tape tip!

> And when analyzing he suggested alternative moves that lost on the spot.

IIRC it was during a live interview. During a real game, he has like 5 or 10 minutes to think about the move. In a live interview, he has like ¿2 seconds?. The interview would be extremely boring if he keep taking 5 minutes to give a reply. (It's somehow like throwing a ball to a tenis player and expecting him to give a perfect devolution using the microphone.)
While those concerns are valid, my biggest concerns are the coming great simplification as we hit the backside of the carbon pulse that's been fueling civilization for the past 200 years.

Europe is already scrambling for firewood. Supplies of energy, and fertilizer, both important inputs to our food supply, have been disrupted.

Making it even worse for many will be the additional complication of deglobalization, as the US withdraws from it's policy of being the world's policeman and guarantor of free trade between nations.

The longer term climate change might be partially solved by the end of the carbon pulse, but it'll still disrupt most people's lives.

We're in for a rough decade or two.

The bulk of the article is about the protections in place and there is no direct answer to how to bypass them.
The hard part of writing a calculator app is not parsing `0.1` versus `.1`. That's trivial. The hard part of writing a calculator app is getting precise answers instead of floating-point answers, and given that he thinks the hard part is parsing `.1`, it probably gets it wrong.

> There isn't that much that TikTok can collect from you anyway. IMO much more important is that the videos that are shown to you while you mindlessly scroll for that next dopamine hit are controlled by the CCP.

The way they're so successful at the latter is by being really good at the former. If you've used it, they've (at minimum) built a psychographic profile used for content and ad targeting.
> Since America's interests are not furthered by covert propaganda, we should abandon it, since the only interest such propaganda could serve would be fifth-columning the country

This conclusion should be self-evident for any democratic society, so any reasonable value of free and democratic.

Private keys management for smart contracts deployment
A big problem with the current frameworks (like Hardhat or Truffle) is that you end up putting your private keys in a `.env` file. Despite the risk that you commit it by mistake, the keys are in cleartext on your computer. That is bad. A few months ago I developed a solution for it

https://github.com/secrez/cryptoenv

CryptoEnv allows people to encrypt their private keys in `.env` files and manage the entire process in full security.

My team at Mobland is using it in production since then and it is working great. I wonder if someone out there is using it, what do you think about it and if there are suggestions for improvements.

Thanks.
Yeah, but that doesn't seem to be the complaint here. It's more about GitHub's workings.
This isn't about research, it's about preconception. You imagine that you've got 80 million Americans watching cute dog videos and you can find some algorithm to feed them communist propaganda or whatever. In reality what happens is you start fucking with their cute dog videos and they all immediately turn off. What made Facebook and Youtube dangerous is they enabled a pre-existing trend to just slowly trudge further into the extreme and insane. Yes, there are highways to hysteria. But they're embedded in humans and reinforced by algorithms, you can't just pick the way you want to go. The far right on facebook isn't really distinguishable from talk radio, because it's reinforcing not creating.

Now, you could say that's bad in itself, but at the end of the day, extremism is often far ight Americans using their free speech to talk to other far right Americans. Right up until they storm the capitol.
"What if China did what facebook did, but more competently" lol
Simple solution: You need to download more RAM!
I doubt that will happen unless something else is revealed as the prosecutors are the ones that asked for the conviction to be vacated.
There were consequences for taking that cash, as we see today with the need for loan forgiveness.

If universities had kept tuition low, you might still have had government backed loans, but would not have needed loan forgiveness.

I don't see how people can simultaneously be against government-backed loans existing, but also wanting universities to take as much from that system as possible to the detriment of society.
Do note this situation is maybe new for Americans, i.e. people from the US.

For many of us in the rest of the world, it turns out this scenario of "foreign power in control of the tech and data we use daily" has been a reality for ages. It's just that the foreign power wasn't China.
ah right, that makes more sense, so something like:
