ZIP famously doesn't specify any character encoding in its file names (a later version of APPNOTE introduced an additional bit to signal that UTF-8 is in use which is to my knowledge not really taken off). Many archivers therefore assumed that they are in the active code page, which meant you can experience mojibake even in Windows and in fact was a major pain when you deal with ZIP files originated from other East Asian countries. Later archivers generally have an option to set or guess the character encoding---if you still have those files, try them.
I see what you're saying but the analogy isn't very good

The reason a local bake shop doesn't do superbowl spots is because they're wasting their spend on millions of people who their offer is irrelevant to. I don't think it's because they can't scale up to fulfill

there could be local bakeshops that advertise on local tv or a billboard for example. But bakeshops don't usually make enough profit to justify these efforts

to further emphasize this point - there's no rule a company has to fulfill an order on their own. if you can't figure out how to fulfill - many companies will sub that work out/outsource it. the highest touch services - think biglaw partners - those type businesses don't really scale and are more jobs than actual businesses
If you think Knuth's work is "unproductive" you obviously either don't know much about Knuth, or you just don't know what you are talking about. He has had a profound influence on the field of Computer Science - and everyone who has met him says he's one the nicest, humblest people they've ever met.

I for one would feel privileged to get to meet him.

Hans Niemann probably cheated in more than 100 chess games, investigation finds
I didn't look at the chess.com thing since the historic progress is eclipsed by a streak of 5 important games where he simply scores 100%. Everything else is irrelevant. GM's usually have zero games at that level. Dropping to his usual level after that doesn't average it out to human level. lol

Someone should organize that running joke: naked chess tournament.
Swimming has training tools that would obviously disqualify you in competition, for one example.
Honestly if you’re not a confident public speaker you may also be embarrassed in front of family / friends / colleagues, so I see this AI as a great bridge to get over that initial hump. Then yes, do it in front of a human at some point too.

Regardless of intention, the inability of the author to adequately explain why a fork was necessary, apart from some hand wavy arguments that some other solutions were inadequate, does not inspire confidence. I find it very hard to be generous with the author given the way that he paints himself as a visionary while casually dismissing the work and perspective of the people who actually did the real visionary work of seeding the technologies that he has hitched his wagon to.
What’s an SF 86?
When permissions are grouped together like that by bullet, it's usually because Google's API only has 1 scope that covers all those actions (per bullet). My guess is they want to create new events on your calendar?

Looking at the Google Calendar API, it seems like if you want to grant an app the ability to add new events, you need to give permission to view all events and delete events as well.

https://developers.google.com/calendar/api/v3/reference/acl/...

https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/scop...

So it's kind Google's fault for that. Still that's a lot of permissions to request, I'd be uncomfortable even letting them have the ability to add or view events. Does it have a way to work if you don't allow it access to Google Calendar?
So what is the alternative? Should we stay on Lightning for the next 20 years? 30 years? 50 years? That'll only increase the cables globally to discard when something finally replaces Lightning

At least a shared standard connector cable will still be usable with other devices. I still have devices that take mini-USB, micro USB, and USB B. Give it 10 or 15 years after iPhone switches off Lightning, and no one will even have a lightning cable anymore, because no one is interested in using a 10 year old iPhone, and no other device uses Lightning.

It does make it Insider trading.

A famous recent example was the hack of press releases before they were released and used to make 100+M profit. [1] .

Even so, I think they’ll prefer to rewrite the contribution. They need to be absolutely sure not to incorporate any copyright encumbered code by mistake.
>This is HW so one that comes to mind is programming.

> > Real understanding of exponential growth helps you understand viscerally why, for instance, you should nip a viral outbreak in the bud, and reducing the spreadrate even slightly (R0) can make a huge impact later on, even if spread isn't totally stopped. This is all just gibberish if not learned in high school.

I think programming/algorithm analysis and things like discrete simulations will give you a more durable notion of basic exponential growth for things like virus outbreaks than high-school calculus which is going to focus on things the derivative of the exponential function being similar to the function and stuff about Euler's number.
I attempted to google to guess what you meant.

I found: (1) they recently removed KiwiFarms; (2) in 2020, they began labeling certain pages with "fact checks"; (3) they remove content by request of the site owner or by copyright complaint.

Of those, (2) seems the most political, but it's not removing content. Was there something else you had in mind?

I made no such claim. I stated that, quote: "... Honest people finish dead last in the race known as life."

Human society has always been, always is, and always will be rife with cheaters of varying degrees and impact. Some will be caught, most won't be.

Hypothetically, Tesla would spin this story differently in no time if they are making great strides in a cheap solid-state radar.

For now, though, it looks like Tesla is building a case after they decided to do away with radar. I recall EM saying that it looks ugly and expensive too. I really got confused when Telsa came up with this patent though https://twitter.com/iamkellex/status/1534240730633236480?s=2...

No one sensor will work for all use cases; each has pros and cons. Radar really shines with depth sensing; it can cut through rain, fog, and snow like a hot knife through butter, much better than pure vision-based systems. At the same time, it seems to fail during harsh breaking and maybe a few other scenarios.

I still regularly see mojibake from Japanese ZIP files. The worst has indeed passed, but it will remain a lingering problem for decades.
I love these kinds of things. The ubiquitous rise of USB3/USB-C has lead to the complete death of portable tech tools like this. "Thing goes inside my computer" cant happen when theres only cable ports. Imagine this with modern computing power and an e-Ink touchscreen, perfect for being a basic information manager, provided you can sync with the necessary software/clouds (a task that hasn't gotten easier unfortunately).
Those already exist without WASM
If this hasn't been tried already, you might have a WIFI survey app built into your router that can tell the strength and channel number of your neighbors' signals.

Or use an app on a WIFI device.

You would have to log directly on to your router anyway if you decide to change its settings, you could carefully select a single (less crowded) channel for it to operate on rather than the automatic searching that normally is done.

This alone might make it easier for your portable devices to stay connected, but the next step might be to set them each for the same fixed channel as your router. Remember you might need to set them back to auto when you leave the home.

>That's like saying that C++ is a better backend platform

C++ isn't even a platform, period. It provides no runtime or anything else other than the language. If you build on top of the JVM ecosystem, similar to NET you get a cross platform, extremely performant ecosystem with millions if not billions invested into it basically for free.

And of course you can build a billion dollar company on a crappy tech stack, but if you had built it on a good one you'd still be a billion dollar company and be even better off. What a strange argument, you ought to make the best technical choice you can, it's a core part of anything you built. And getting a 10x performance on the JVM vs say Python, or smooth, non error prone concurrency in Clojure is a significant benefit.

In particular in business applications were you usually deal with data transformations, the single-threaded, mutable state type of design of some languages is awful. Clojure in particular was exactly made for this practical use case.
I'm surprised the they pulled out an older Tesla and that parked quite well after all the duds.
That's pretty crazy. I wonder if placebo effects played a role?

(Ie if you had pumped the liquid directly into her stomach, without telling her whether it's black coffee or some substitute, would the outcome still have been the same?)
They do though! They can easily disable features like Autopilot, Autopark, Summon, etc fleetwide in a snap if they wanted to.

Well, to get the full benefit you also want the ice bath afterwards.

Sauna is fun, but it's not a panacea. It can't replace exercise, for example.
Sometimes they contain too much information to read as you're driving by, other times they are simple but annoying like this one:

But what I find the worst these days are ultra-bright large LED screens. At night they are blindingly bright. One in particular in my area installed at a shopping plaza, is so bright I need to look away when walking by. Its "ad light" floods the whole area.
I think all apps seeing all events is a usability thing. When you try to double schedule something every app can tell you about the conflict.
Just from a physics stand-point, you can't bring your car to a safe stop (or any kind really) in two car-lengths at 85mph. If you take the most generous scenario possible, that the car in-front of you will continue for another two car-lengths (but at a slower speed than you), it's still pretty much impossible to bring your car to a complete stop in four car-lengths.
I can't comment on fasting in particular, but as another comment pointed out, I think the idea that you need to immediately get protein before/during/after a workout is a bit overblown.

My understanding is that protein can be rate-limiting for hypertrophy if you don't have enough in general, but timing is not as largely important. I believe there is a rough window for anabolic signaling / net-positive muscle protein synthesis that lasts up to 48 hours after exercise
There is also lazy loading of images see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Performance/Laz... .
Why would you only go to the sauna as an adult?

In any case, how long does sauna's supposed deleterious effect last? Probably not more than a few days?
I would have no problem to tell you in private. It is a sensible topic to do it here.
HomeKit cameras and doorbells do this.
You are giving plenty of ways in which calculus can be useful. But the GP wasn't arguing against claims that calculus is useful. The GP was arguing against a claim that calculus was useless, but you should study it anyway as "weightlifting for your brain". Your arguments about how calculus is useful would be better directed at the teacher the GP was arguing against.
Probably a combination of water, seismic activity is not to bad, and blue states generally have better education systems and an easier time attracting educated people. Also NY has been trying to grow the economy in the area, they probably provided attractive incentives.

FWIW, I think NYC is more restrictive than NY state on the gun stuff. At least I know some avid hunters from rural NY, I don't think they have any issues getting hunting rifles, maybe they had to fill out some paperwork or something.

the capital will not be controlled and the government will have to find new tools to “promote a change of behavior” as they delightfully put it

anyway, I’m all for walking away from the dirty funds that are stuck with the illiquid token, but even bigger fun to be had if the other 75% of the market buys into your token just because the price rallies so hard, then your tornado cash funded addresses can cash out again and be ready for the next play.

Or even better, the token gets so popular that the token and/or liquidity pool shares can be staked in another legit protocol to borrow against or earn passive income.

Capital games, capital gains. Like most patient or dead capital, you can still use it to validate ideas and causes you care about. “Wow the TVL is so large, now I need to use it too” for example.

The idea of policing capital is gone, whether the documentary on this reality has come out or not.
The async control flow is not directly inspired by anything. It is a cool side effect of using async for everything that I myself only discovered once I started writing examples.

Async UI as a whole is inspired by the simple fact that UI is an effect system[1], and async is also an effect system.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_system

Re async split:
Diversity promotes innovation :)

Re error handling:
There's no real support yet. For now when I hit an error I just render nothing. I might add support for components returning Result<_, _> in the future.
I'm arguing that it is in one's interest to not hold naive ideals about the world, about reality. Reality is a dirty, ruthless place. If you don't conduct yourself being aware that other people are going to take advantage of you, or even cheat on you, then you will end up getting screwed because you cannot defend against attacks you aren't aware of nor expect.
Economists working for oil companies certainly don't ignore money supply.
I think the sentiment will be popular on HN but this is Meta's moonshot to stay relevant to young people. I mean it's an absolute dumpster fire and somehow more cringy than NFTs but this is the horse they bet on to try and get a piece of "gaming as a social network" that they were legitimately completely caught off guard by. They aren't going to be able to buy their way into pc, console, or mobile so this is their attempt to create a new market where they can be a player.

Without this their outlook is slowing growth on their existing properties and a sword of damocles hanging over Facebook. They're not going to be able to swing 20-30% annual growth for much longer without getting into other markets.

No, Blooomberg. The "hacker" never "stole" the money back. The feds never seized it in the first place. All they seized was an encrypted wallet.

Putting it in terms you might better understand: What the feds seized is equivalent to a foreign, chip-only banking card. They never seized the money behind it or the pin required to move that money.
Show HN: Poker Skills Website for Beginners – With Boss/Panic Screen
I enjoy playing poker with my friends, but I have to admit, I’m a classic ‘fish’, particularly after a beer!

I’ve created a web app where fellow fish can practice their poker skills for free against bots.

As a homage to old computer games, I’ve added a boss/panic screen: press ‘b’ to open a fake spreadsheet. (Desktop web only)

My hope is us fellow fish can rise up and take down our next home game.

I built the game in Flutter, using this tutorial as a base: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSN2hBf8D5Q

Things I liked about Flutter:

(1) Components are fun to build. The instant preview when you save your code never gets old.

(2) Lots of really nice pre-built UI to get you up and running quickly.

(3) Write the code once, launch on multiple surfaces (iOS, Android, Web, Mac, Windows). This capability is inspiring me to build a lot more software!

(4) Decent community of developers.

Things that were less good:

(1) Takes a while to load, particularly on mobile. (~4MB download)

(2) Seems too “heavy” for everyday web projects. But fine for larger web apps / desktop / mobile software.

(3) Working out how to use Provider was intimidating to start with, but the tutorial linked above really helped me work it.

Because humans are not good at eye-balling distance, especially while moving. The only other point of reference is going to be the only other thing travelling on the roads at a similar speed... cars. Hence, the rough comparison of "car-lengths".
Chess.com has no problem allowing Niemann to participate in tournaments after they allegedly 'caught' him, and they only became very principled after their business partner Carlsen had lost to Niemann and instigated the conflict in a very disingenuous way. In any court their testimony would be thrown out.

Also, he allegedly cheated for money at 12yo. Yeah, right, that's definitely a grave unforgivable sin that should ruin his whole career. /s

I'll say what I said about about Drew Devault just a few months ago, "He also never makes an argument. After awhile you realize he's not really saying anything at all. It's fundamentally contentless... It's all just vibes, like Fox News's opinion journalism or Trump is just vibes."

Fishermen Team Accused of Cheating by Stuffing Fish With Weights

That about matches my fuzzy understanding, but the big picture is the struggle. Like as submitted in a comment here about the venerable for loop being rooted in calculus, it makes sense when it's explicitly pointed out, but I haven't established a framework to draw those connections intuitively.

To generalize further, given a solution where the use of calculus is explained then that isolated example is comprehensible, but given a problem there is nothing that sparks a "I know, I can solve this with calculus!" I don't feel the same way about other mathematical disciplines that I have studied, even those of which I have spent far less time studying.

Perhaps it's simply harder to understand than other areas of math, but then I think that goes against the idea that is easy for kids to understand.
Hi it's Vince with Slap Chop
Exactly... and it seems like right now it's more because of fewer goods to purchase (less energy supply because of Russia, less goods / workers because of covid), but demand has returned to pre-pandemic levels.

I'm a little worried they're fighting a money supply increase when the problem is a (hopefully relatively temporary) shortage of supply. I think the money printing resulted in some asset bubbles (crypto, real estate, stocks), and raising interest rates has popped it already. But I think inflation will just settle down as we get our energy and supply chains righted, regardless of where interest rates are.
Criminals (and cops and reporters...) aren't the most tech-savvy, so it's useful to know when possible attacks are actually used. Like, it took over a year (and it going viral on TikTok) for thieves outside Milwaukee to catch on that late model Kia/Hyundais are as easy to steal as 90's Hondas.

That said, I'm not convinced the criminals in this case jammed anything; she said hours were missing and car thieves aren't sticking around that long, and balaclavas are still cheap. And the techie "of course you need to hardwire everything" is extraordinarily unhelpful.

Actually being useful would be spreading knowledge that deauth attacks can be prevented with 802.11w (even other posters here don't seem to know that!), and pointing out what supports that and how to enable it. Or promoting cameras with enough local storage to mitigate being disconnected for a half hour or so, which is also useful for power outages...
