Obviously, any such classification would be subjective, but there’s probably a “reasonable” limit to solvability. (Without guess and check)

It’s totally subjective. Since sudoku is a closed (fixed size grid, fixed number of symbols), guess-and-check is just a catch-all label for logical inference strategies which haven’t been named yet. New strategies are discovered (and named) all the time and one of the ways to do this is to guess and then, if the guess was correct, go back and try to understand why.

This bias against guess and check seems to be some deep-seated issue from our culture. I know a lot of mathematics teachers frown on guess-and-check as well and that can rub off on their students, possibly implanting the bias for life. Unfortunately, having this bias can really damage a person’s ability to learn and succeed at mathematics in university. It turns out that guess-and-check makes a triumphant return as a strategy for quickly completing proofs when one is unfamiliar with established theory. Sound familiar? That’s just like sudoku!

Working mathematicians, in contrast to poor math teachers at lower levels, have a healthy relationship to the guess-and-check strategy. And that’s good news for them, since they are often working in areas where there is insufficient established theory to make any progress.
I am using it in a daily basis for the last 4 months. Very useful and promising in terms of features.
Does qBittorrent support a web UI with headless access?

That is the reason I use Transmission over anything else.
Transmission (or at least the official clients I have personally used) doesn't show country of a peer. Plus you can't determine the country of an IP by DNS, unless your geoip provider happens to be DNS-based; what you need is a geoip database.

Not leaving a destructive relationship sooner. Twice.

The second one was the worst. I've since observed that behaviour in other couples, mostly with the men, but almost as frequently with the women that make the partner's feeling of self-worth completely revolve around them.

It's toxic, left me with severe depression that is still an issue today. There is a certain type of internal self-talk that becomes a self-reinforcing mania and starts with the simplest triggers and ends up with a feeling of loathing that can happen any time. It's dangerous and can lead to thoughts of suicide.
This was in my early 30s, and I'm now in my late 50s and I can't believe I still have these things to deal with.

Best advice I can think of is a quote from William Burroughs:

"If, after being in the presence of a certain person, you feel like you've lost a quart of plasma, avoid that person."

This is an important point for scripting as nobody wants to setup a venv to run a simple script.

Obviously a world governance system that works is the solution, how else would you even solve problems like climate change that don't stop at the borders.

The problem is the incentives, and of course the root of the problem is the lack of resources. We don't have enough for everyone, so we are pitted against each other, and the winners keep winning, thus inequality.

It may be the toughest problem in the world, but nobody is trying. At best most public good projects are feel good ones, at worst many of them are actually grifts. But it's not even about sincerity, it's about power. Countries would be able to do much more, political and economical unions even more.

If you are coming from a Computer Engineering background or within a IEEE area of influence then SE is used everywhere as an acronym for Software Engineering.

I assume that if you are coming from Computer Science background you are not so caught up on making everyone aware that what you're doing is Engineering, so Software suffices.
As long as price per capacity / storage density increases exponentially, isn't the best solution to transfer your storage to a newer medium over and over rather than taking a bet on a long term durability of a medium that we have no way to test (and a bet on the durability and forward compatibility of the device to read it).

Ask HN: 10k hours rule to master anything. Could I switch career when I am 43?
Throughout his book "M. Outliers: The Story of Success.", Gladwell repeatedly refers to the “10 000-hour rule,” asserting that the key to achieving true expertise in any skill is simply a matter of practicing. It could be the greatest practice myth. My american boss founded my company in Viet Nam when he was 55. I admire him a lot. Nonetheless, I am still afraid of switching to other job because time is running out when i am older. A lot of my friends who are technical guys think so. Any advice?

Alfred Nobel specifically requested that the prize be awarded "to the person or society that shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses." You can definitely view Dr. King's work as furthering brotherhood among nations, since so many wars are motivated by ethnic conflict and Civil Rights are critically important to defusing such conflict; but the prize is not merely intended for "civilizational progress" of any arbitrary kind.
Stop being afraid of failing. It was so painful that I put alot of things off and thus didn't grow.
> The only time that has worked is when the US invades global superpowers like Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan - more due to the locals rebuilding than the invaders.

The reason why Germany is where it is now is that the US sunk billions upon billions into the Marshall Plan and had shown the commitment that they would stay in the country and provide it perspective and security if it would become and stay a healthy democracy that respects the rule of law.

The US had done everything precisely opposite in Afghanistan: they marched in and got rid of the Taliban government, but they failed to enforce a rule of law in the country and instead let local warlords and other undesirables deal with that. Corruption was rife everywhere, and there was no economic perspective for the people of Afghanistan to be a somewhat self-sufficient country. Hell even after 20 years, 75% (!) of the budget was foreign aid [1].

As a result of that lack of perspective, why should the Afghani people have any respect for its "government" that barely had any shred of legitimacy? At least Iraq has natural resources.

What the West should have done in Afghanistan was to do the same thing it had done in Germany half a century before: invest in nation building, in providing the citizens a path that is not violence, poverty and crime.

Sadly people with this viewpoint are in government, which is really going to screw over people who live in the real world.
A lot of rock fans never heard of the psychedelic japanese or german scene, particularly, and they get great pleasure when they do. Apart from the gigantic Rallizes, I would recommend the following bands for starters: Can[0], Faust[1], The Boredoms[2], Acid Mothers Temple[3], OOIOO[4], Amon Duul II[5]. They are all very creative and have a lot of different styles to their different albums/works etc.

Hi, I do the BD M-Dics at home, with Linux, with 0 problems. What problems did you get?
What are you using it for? How big is your database (e.g. number of records)?
Okay, but I don't think changing the case is too big an ask.
There are already GitHub issues like this. The maintainers simply close them.
jwz's links with an HN Referer header only show an image of a testicle, in case someone doesn't know.
Funny that you bring this up. These puzzles would not be considered distinct within group theory. A simple application of Burnside’s lemma would allow a person to recover the true number of distinct puzzles from this figure.

A person playing the same puzzle every day that’s just been rotated or had the symbols permuted is going to quickly get bored. While the puzzle looks superficially different the graph structure and the logical steps in the solution will be identical. So doing this kind of combinatorial shenanigans is “cheating” and should be considered dubious, if not fraudulent, within the sudoku community.
Very interesting demo; a couple of q's: how is it qualitatively different from Fabrice Bellard's JSLinux, apart from the speedup? and what is the use case?
Webtorrent allows you to download torrents from a stock iPhone: you use a JavaScript interpreter from the app store (that is allowed as per the app store guidelines, same for Python interpreter), then just run Webtorrent that works in JavaScript only. Like that I downloaded a lot of things while outside.
Why would it be written in C when it could be written in assembly? Lazy programmers.

There's no such thing. And anyone who thinks there is shouldn't be trusted with making technology choices.
The Nobel prize is becoming a joke. It's mostly political at this point with few exceptions. I won't even start on literature or peace prize, just the fact you'll get it for applied research.
200k queries in two weeks? That's not a lot. For waking hours and with someone surfing the web, my pihole reports about 1000/10m. That's 1.6/s.

Also, why would you have a DNS quota? I guess some DNS blocker service like NextDNS? Either pay them the money, put a local cache on your torrent client (or use a pihole with blocklists), or have the machine with the torrent client use another DNS server.
I have an app called Kiwix that does this now. I also like Organic Maps for offline maps.

I agree that, as you say, being non-animal is sufficient.

Nevertheless, I find it funny that the vendors have felt the need to use the word "algae" for marketing this product.

It is true however that while "algae" is incorrect, there is no appropriate word to name them that would be easily understood by the general public.

At most they might be called "protists", as in many biology manuals, which is a word that I strongly dislike as meaningless.

("Protists" means "the first", but among which and according to what ordering criterion? "Protist" is a word normally used with the meaning "unicellular eukaryote" a.k.a. "unicellular nucleate", but one should better use the words that are meant.)
In France, if you have an inaccessible land, either:

- it's surrounded by private property, and the neighbor must offer some sort of passage through their land to yours. If it's a field, it does mean to destroy permanently part of it so you can go through.

- it has at least one border with public property, and the state must provide a real asphalt road to access it.

However, you are left to organize traversal of your own land, so if your house is deep inside it, you get to pay. And of course, getting power lines and water pipes connected to it is still 100% at your charge.
I disagree. You should work on bottom up abstractions, base yourself on first principles. Amending abstractions built like this are cheap and straight forward. This is opposed to top-down, gluing already made monstrosities.

Fair enough. So if the path to prosperity is massive foreign investment, why was the invasion necessary?

They could have skipped that. Spent all the money directly on the good outcome that didn't happen at all. There is - I speculate, keeping to my rather thick sarcasm - a link.

Investment -> Prosperity.

Army -> Corpses and destruction.

I recommend not sending in an army when the goal is prosperity. Invasions are sometimes clever, but they don't make the situation better for the locals. And in the case of Afghanistan it was unnecessary.

Plus your backup probably requires dozens of CDs and DVDs, and perhaps they then fit on a handful of 4TB drives, and perhaps now they fit on a single 20TB drive.

For me, my storage needs increase more or less linearly, but storage capacity increases exponentially, making every cycle easier, involving less drives.
There have been studies that have contradicted the 10,000 hour rule. However, my understanding is that the rule is about attaining mastery through effective practice. You don't need to reach mastery level in order to be make a valuable contribution in a new job. Obviously it really depends on what sort of career change you are contemplating. If it is to become an international concert pianist and you have never studied music or played any musical instrument, then it is most likely a stretch goal. However, if you are a competent programmer with one language or environment, then changing to a different language, etc will probably see you being quite good after a year, i.e. 2000 hours. With more effort you can only improve.
It's really good for distributing huge datasets, stuff that can take multiple days to download.
It's also very good for using maximum available bandwidth efficiently, and have downloaders contribute bandwidth.

Linux isos are frequently pointed out as a use-case. I've seen it used for distributing neural network weights recently (stable diffusion and others). Rainbow tables and password lists too: https://freerainbowtables.com/

I have used it to efficiently distribute big files (disk images) over hundreds of computers in LANs. Computers on local switches can exchange data with each other, and computers can come and go on the network.
I don't think this kind of AI will be that useful for CAD, the time consuming part of CADing is the precise details of things that need to fit together and often iterated on because of various mechanical, electrical and material properties.
I think the answer is "yes", but you should be aware that Malcolm Gladwell is a bullshitter.

The difference between being a vegetarian and being a vegan is that the latter avoids using any animal products, no matter how trivial the amount.

Glyphosate doesn’t make vegetables non-vegan, the animal fat used in its sprayable formulations does that. Vegetables and grains come with a slight coating of animal fat that is then mixed in with whatever food is made using those ingredients.
That doesn’t make sense to me.

There are 200,000 movies, and Netflix and others catalogue 2000 of them. If you think of a movie to watch there’s literally 1% chance that it will be available for streaming.

I have almost never watched a movie I seeked out on the streamers. It’s the other way round, the streamers offer me some movies and if I’m interested I watch it. But their catalogues are laughably small. Completely incomparable to the music streaming catalogues which are really vast.
You must always think you can do anything, push yourself to do and be better. Don’t let negativity enter your mind, with this thinking everything is possible.
I was also worried about it, but then I learned about the USB-C to jack adapter cable. Look on your favourite shopping website.

I check all of the 10x engineer boxes from above, or at least I think I do, and that speaks as if I am a 10x engineer but I genuinely don't think I am. I think 10x engineer is something different. 10x engineer usually doesn't care about the things from above.

I think it is more about the ability to grasp vast amounts of complexity in relatively short amount of time and be able to sustain it. Business and market wise this is what is going to make a difference. Some engineers aren't even able to tackle such complexity because of so much layers of it which is why at some moment it just becomes ... too much. Others that can do it, it would take them considerably larger amount of time to do it.
I don't know if its still the case, but about ten years ago I took ViaRail Canada from Vancouver to Toronto. It was a four-day train ride (with a brief stopover on Bamff) and the vast majority of it was remote Canada crossing the Rockies, with no mobile network coverage.

I asked the train staff about WiFi onboard, and they said that they didn't have it and the preferred it that way. People take their train, not to get from A to B, but to disconnect and meet other people, read books, or watch the beautiful landscape going by. If people had Internet access, they'd be glued to their devices and wouldn't meet fellow travelers, and that's the magic of this line.

(They even said that their corporate management wanted WiFi in the trains so that the staff could digitize a lot of their paperwork, but the crew was resisting it because they believed it was exactly the lack of connectivity that keep people taking the train for vacation.)

It depends on why you want to switch. If you want to switch because you love the new line of work then go for it but understand that you will start as junior and most likely make less money than you do currently for several years. But if you like your new line of work then you will get good at it and make more money in a few years. If you want to switch for any other reason, think hard about it. It may not be worth it. Often grass seems greener on the other side but when you get into the weeds, you realize it's all, well, weeds. (I fantasize about becoming physicist, rancher etc. but I am gonna stick to writing CRUD apps. Those jobs are way harder and pay way less.)
