I think that depends on what people man by censorship resistance. A lot of times people talk about it like they can send money around without anyone preventing them but, as with real censorship, is the problem there prior restraint or after-the-fact consequences? Even in the worst countries, it's not that people can't speak but that they [rightly] fear the consequences if they do so — and blockchains are a terrible choice for anyone who needs to worry about an abusive government because you're leaving a public, irrevocable evidence trail for the prosecutors. This is also transitive, as we're seeing with Tornado Cash — yes, technically it's possible to transfer funds without government approval but even if you're comfortable with that risk it doesn't help you much if most legitimate businesses and exchanges stop accepting tokens traceable to some kind of block-list.

The thing blockchains _can_ be better at than a classic SQL database is tamper-evidence, but that's also possible with less overhead using classic PKI and/or Merkle trees. Using trusted third-parties to sign things could be better if something came to a court or other public form because then you'd be able to have some institutional weight rather than random internet strangers: “My filing record was signed by the USPTO and their signature was notarized by the DPMA before the date when the other party claimed…” sounds better than having to explain to a court why it's unlikely that you were able to suborn miners to favor your transaction.

As to the last point, I've known or been referred by someone on the inside for all my career jobs that I eventually ended up in. If I didn't, I'd try to make a contact on the inside, to find out what the company and team are like, and who's the hiring manager, before applying.

I think that's just good practice, call it pre-screening. No need to go through the whole lengthy (and expensive for the company) applying and interviewing process if a casual meeting discussion first doesn't go well.

I did cold apply and get a job offer once. I accepted on contingency because their contract had a weird clause. They balked at the contingency and I canceled the acceptance. That was a waste of all of our time.

My wife's car isn't that old (2017 model) but using the navigation is a painful experience. Inputting an address takes multiple minutes and can only be done by turning a knob one letter at a time. First, state. Then city. (There is no defaulting to current location, so this must be done every time). Then street name and finally numerical address. If any of these items aren't in the database, you get to go back and start over or try for the hopefully nearest address that is in the system. It's a mess but sometimes necessary.

It also no longer gets traffic updates since the modem is 3G with no upgrade path currently. It does not support AA or Carplay. I hate it but she loves the way it drives, so we'll be keeping it for a while.
I think this is one of those silent majority situations.

Almost all programmers can read a C-like language because well, that covers like 95% of languages by use. You have C/C++/Java/Go/JS/Kotlin/Rust/zig/C# etc.

BUT second to that in sheer use is probably Python. Almost everyone (that I know) has touched it atleast a bit whether its dev scripts, tooling, scientific work (bio, cv, etc.), robotics, mech engineers, ml/ai space etc.

Why would anyone nitpick to death tools that have so much ubiquity? Well they'd have to have a narrow focus to even consider it. The majority of algebra users never second guess +, *, ^, (), etc.

I'd say lisp is probably the hardest to get used to combine with the least frequent to cross your path. And then there's a long tail of bash/ruby styles, tcl, ocaml, etc etc.

Python is lingua franca in data science / ML, i.e. you pretty much do have to to work in the field. In my experience the people who complain about this aspect of python are those just starting out.

I don't have a good answer for stopping it given what you have tried thus far, but one can reduce the impact by distributing the outbound SMTP to different SNAT's, CIDR blocks, data-centers or even AS Numbers depending on how complicated of a setup one is willing to support. Every SNAT of course needs FCrDNS and all the additional CIDR blocks would need to be included in your existing SPF but that should reduce the threshold in effect.
I genuinely attempted to understand Russia’s perspective and tended to sympathize with it until February of this year. But the current war doesn’t fit into that understanding at all and I don’t know how to begin to reconcile it. Why spend months insisting you’re not going to invade, then invade while publicly insisting you’re not invading, then call up a partial general mobilization without identifying any goals for your war that you insist isn’t a war? Maybe there’s a master plan that has to be secret and continually lied about, but if that’s so then listening to more Putin speeches won’t help me understand him anyway.

This is just because they communicated poorly that they require proof of your ability to legally be employed in the USA. Passport and SS card both fulfill this requirement.

Anyone can have a Driver's License, however the newer DLs in many states have the optional citizenship validation and marking, so those can be used as well.
I think this is a dangerous assumptions to make: the last time I looked at C was 30 years ago, you show me real C code with pointers and references and namespaces and I couldn't tell you wtf was going on if my life depended on it.

You make a fine argument for paying the same for fewer hours of quality work rather than more hours of mediocre or non-work. There is also some efficiency cutoff involved here to be investigated. Not sure if you realized it, but if the overall efficiency is not affected by you being in the office, there's really no reason for you to be there. Besides a poorly written contract, that is.

Unfortunately people are hired as pawns in corporate politics all the time, likewise cut.

Of course, in some cases reducing hours would require hiring an actually adequate number of workers rather than overloading a few. And actually paying people.

Old digi equipment is cheap[1], usually in great shape, and sounds the same as the day it was new and better than any sub$800 USB2 interface. Previous versions of Pro Tools can be matched to the old equipment and downloaded right off digi's site.[2] But there are 2 difficulties, knowing what card goes with what interface in what old computer on what OS version, and licensing. But at some previous version, everything is cracked, or one can purchase old licensing with the hardware. I'd estimate for time researching, $500 of equipment including the old computer, as much hacking it to work as Gentoo alone would require, one could reasonably easily have 16 or 32 channels of old Pro Tools and never see latency problems from stacking effects on every channel, even on something like an 800MHz G4 or 2GHz Core2Duo. Issue is, it will sound like Pro Tools from whatever era it's from, which was never bad, just distinctive, and most wouldn't even notice.

Software's just not going to solve crappy hardware.

> It did ,because western countries export coal to the rest of the world.

As I said, coal production and consumption in the west has gone down. Coal plants and mines have closed. The trend is downwards. Do you really refuse to accept this when it's what the data says? This is quite worrying I must say, is there some ideological bias at play here?

> Look if you can't admit you were parroting that coal was killed by renewables without any understanding of commodity boom/bust cycles or energy demand trajectory the world that's quite understandable it's difficult to face reality, but you don't have to keep at it.

Coal is being killed by renewables, nuclear, hydro, gas, ... in the west. Whatever is cheaper tends to win out in the end. All you have to do is look at the data, I even linked it for you. Although it's experiencing a hiccup right now due to the gas crisis. It will obviously take a bit longer for the rest of the world to catch up, even without the current crisis.
I am not sure why you are arguing against stopping crime. Maybe you misunderstood my posts.
Yeah dating novice therapists is bad because they are still trying on the tools and they’ve got a neophytes zeal, dating experienced therapists is bad because they’ve integrated the tools so much that it’s hard recognize when they’re pulling them out.

I actually just went and tested and in webkit at least my 100% perfect test case I had querySelector taking 2x longer than getElementById. I tried understanding what the current webkit code does but the selector matching code is now excitingly complex due to the CSS JIT.

Many many years ago I recall querySelector starting out with a check for #someCSSIdentifier and shortcutting to the getElementById path, but maybe my memory is playing tricks on me.
Ask HN: Why Is Instagram Killing Itself?
Over the past few weeks there have been a number of inexplicable 'bugs' with Instagram. An example I'll use is browsing by hashtag is no longer possible unless you are using the app (previously, it was possible to browse via browser).

My question for HN, and more specifically for IG developers on HN, is why are you disabling features?

It would be understandable if the rationale was to drive traffic to the app, but no error saying 'you must use the app to browse by hashtag' is displayed when you try browsing on a browser, you just get a page showing the top posts, with no explanation why other posts are there. So that reason doesn't cut it.
It does. Just add parentheses.
I don't want to say "recipe for disaster", but as someone working on a similar app, it's definitely a challenge. It's one of the reasons I stayed away from a pure ML/language modelling approach. It's really easy for models to get things wrong - for example, elsewhere in this thread there's a Chinese sentence about arranging furniture but the word "arrange" isn't really right (it's more "arrange" in the sense of "arranging a delivery", rather than "arranging a number of objects", and sounds like it's been auto-translated from English).

When I started I wanted to be sure that every single word/sentence was "correct" (i.e. a native speaker agreed that all the words/grammar were correct/natural in that context). LMs have improved since I started, but for me, that requirement still stands and ML approaches still need a heavy human touch IMO.
My university announced an call for applications to an initiative supporting Ukrainian students and one of the bullet points read “impact on Indigenous and minority peoples of Ukraine”

> It is easier to get a decent color picker in a web app than a WPF, WinForms, UWP, WinUI, or Win32 app (assuming you have a reasonably high expectation for UI/UX, as I do).

What is a decent color picker? Everybody's idea about that is different so basically no 2 websites use the same color picker. In fact, this paper [1] found that the kind of picker (RGB vs HSV, etc...) doesn't really matter, but that better feedback made the difference. So will we get instant feedback from our color pickers now (for example text immediately turning into the color selected)? No, because designers design how they think it should look and feel, not based on how people actually interact with applications.

Well, the tires were purchased (and mounted) at Costco, and rotated at least once previously by Costco (since the path of least resistance for warranty maintenance is for them to have the records of doing the (free rotations) themselves; they'd have a hard time arguing in the event of a warranty claim that they'd rotated the tires incorrectly).

So history argues in favor of it being their fault. In fairness, they were apologetic and never tried to absolve themselves of responsibility.

Regarding "Costco should have had zero problems replacing a broken stud on the spot", I wish it were so (would have saved a bit of hassle), but which expert person at Costco is going to be capable of doing this? They seemed to have shop nearby that they farmed such work out to, but this problem occurred on a Sunday...

I lost ~100lbs in the span of 1yr during covid with most of that weight coming off in 4 months on that model. The key in one-meal-per-day isn't that it restricts calories[0], but what it does do is force you for 23h a day to resist a reward/response cycle that food has on you.

- Biggest benefit was so much time for activities just opens up.

- Biggest drawback in all seriousness was losing the confidence and protection that came with being an immovable object.

[0] - My theory is that one-meal-per-day when not paired with mental progress can encourage binge eating. I can consume 10,000 calories in a single meal, unless I'm also biking 30 miles that is not doing to help me lose weight, one meal or ten meals.
