Dammit. Was writing a similar yet a bit more extensive elaboration on my phone, but accidentally refreshed the page a-a-and... it's gone :') Truly a RRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE moment.

Basically, 'this ^', but wanted to add that the post was a lighthearted jab and a comical insinuation. Which, by the way, according to the little rollercoaster of upvotes and downvotes, seem to have raised a micro controversy of it's own. Which adds another layer of comedy to the entire situation.

A-A-ANYWAY. Since I was a bit upsetting, adding a (hopefully) evening out, on-topic suggestion.

For tuning my guitars, I often use gStrings app [0]. For some reason it's much better at 'catching' freqencies than the alternatives. Can't recall all the names, but I've tried most of the popular ones (such as Guitar Tuna, the Fender's one, etc). Might wanna check it out and see if there are some tricks to borrow :)

Scaniverse (iOS app) works pretty well on figurines and small models, for example:

- https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/kitzreh20-a37b3f78b38048d286...

- https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/taurenscaniverse-c78b86cfe9c...
Some of it comes down to whether the app should rely on that positional data... like for catching an uber or something.

I do think that's exploiting the ecosystem and I have a feeling one well placed complaint with Apple would cause a stern message to McDonald's... does the app tell you it's because of your location accuracy?
Sorry I am not as much of a pedant as you would like.
What strikes me about this metaphoric description is that I'd much rather be in the real-life scenario. Listening to a streaming service gives you plenty of options, but it's nothing like a live show. News are coming from afar, but there is no mystery of far-off lands anymore, only anxiety as to what is happening all over the place and a sense of nothing being there than you can particularly control. A banquet is going to be much better in the same room than over Discord. I'll skip the pornography aspect as some consider it a trap and others a boon, but overall the only part that is genuinely better is the easy access to books and knowledge.

I loved your comment, however. Definitely storing the analogy for later use.
"If you undervalue the property, someone can buy it through an app."

This assumes that you set a self-assessed property value and are subsequently required to sell if an offer is made. (I guess, that's the premise of "every property is always up for sale")

As it stands right now, a house valued at $500,000 will pay a tax that reflects that valuation, but the owner doesn't have to sell even if I offer them x10 that amount. The proposal of self-assessment only works if there's a downside to a low-self assessment (forced selling at self-assessed valuation). This seems decidedly opposed to the concept of "private property" (e.g. This [X] thing is mine).
This is really nice, but there are some funny things suggested that might not be too easy to realize:

1. Simply remove the ceiling beams.

2. Extend the room and place another window into the wall.

3. Replace wall with window.

4. Cut room in half and replace one part with garden.

5. Open room to garden and slowly extend ceiling into garden.
Maybe they are. But in the advent of a hack. Even then they might have there arses covered with insurance and what not.

But who can tell how long until you get your coins in such a situation.
In order for something to be recognized as a word, it needs to have meaning and be understood by more than 1 person. For brevity's sake, when I said "it's a word", I really meant "it's a word that's used and recognized by a large subset of people, large enough that lexicographers at dictionaries have taken notice".

"Irregardless" is not incorrect if enough people start using it that way. That's simply how languages work. You can have an opinion on specific words, but you cannot -assert- that using them is "incorrect". It's your opinion, not fact. Everyone also understands people when they use irregardless.

"These words are not self-contradictory, nor were they formed "as mistakes.""

Apron was originally "napron". It formed this spelling from people misunderstanding "a napron" as "an apron". Tornado should be tronado, because it comes from spanish tronada. Regardless (or irregardless? :)), the English language has many, many such words. My point is English already has so many words that are "mistakes", so arguing about "irregardless" doesn't make sense. No language used by humans is without illogical things.

"[Dictionaries] merely list words in alphabetical order along with their definitions"

Yes. They have criteria for when a -new- word becomes used enough that it enters the public lexicon, or an existing word gains a new usage. Like "literally" and "irregardless". You can't say it's wrong anymore when enough people are using it that way.
Shall we argue about something we can only speculate about?
They most certainly have thrown to Ukraine all they could do and it hasn't ended anything. It seems we have overestimating what Russia is capable of (like we did for their conventional forces).
We have been watching you and we know testing APIs is your hobby and you spend a lot of time on it. We'll have to take it away from you! ;)

Just give us a little more time and hopefully your support. :)
I think people need to understand that colorectal cancer isn't one thing. There are a range of cancers that occur in the colorectal system.

Finding a cancer earlier (in terms of staging) is probably a good thing. But finding a cancer earlier (in terms of age of the patient) possibly means they have a harder to treat, more aggressive, cancer. This might be why there's diminishing returns on population screening in younger people. Older people have easier to treat cancers and pre-cancerous polyps.
This is mean. I understand this is public information, but it's still mean to do this.

I’m pretty sure you can as well!

If you can pick Brazil or Morocco to win $1000 in case the one you choose wins the World Cup which one do you pick? Why?

Are you really indifferent between them because you cannot conceive how saying that one is more likely to win than the other could have any relationship to reality?
A lot of issues like this end up being tied to one or two specific routers; in a previous issue, it was found to be ram with a stuck bit in a particular line card connecting ATT and a major CDN (or somebody) in Palo Alto [1]. Especially if it's an issue on a connection to CDNs, your VPN connection is likely to traverse a different path, and the path from the VPN to the destination will also likely traverse a different path.

Most of the time, networking issues are at a single link on the path, and forward and reverse paths are different too, so it can be hard to track down. BGP does a great job of quickly routing around totally broken links, but there's not usually any sort of quality or utilization metric included, so a link where there's lots of problems but BGP still works is going to stay up and continue to be utilized.

Of course the government subcontracts the work out to do the actual construction. By the government has no incentive to build livable housing. Government employees don’t live in the housing. The government doesn’t have a business reputation to uphold. As crazy as it might sound, those who live in a community just might have a better understanding of how it should be developed compare to those on the outside.
they are simply saying the title should warn users that it is a video and don't click with your mic unmuted while in a meeting :)
I have a similar approach, and with evidence to back it up. All my coinbase coins are still in coinbase. The coins in the wallet on my old desktop that I have somehow misplaced the tower for several years ago on the other hand...
I bet on legal safeguards, not on conspiracy. Because for most companies a chance of a lawsuit is a chance of instant bankruptcy.

Many of the product managers I've worked with have a very simple job: Take the product management direction from some other, higher-up manager, and present it to the engineers. They don't actually manage anything, can't answer any serious questions, etc. They just save time for their manager by fronting for them, and insulating them from questions they'd prefer not to have to answer.
> No reason to have limited licenses. A state run clearing house for all money going in and money going out. Then publish the results of this, so people can see how bad a deal gambling is

In many countries loteries advertise
how much money was spent in tickets, and obviously they advertise the prize pool and the odds. As you can tell people still play, publishing the results does nothing. But that doesn't mean you should allow a free for all of fraudulent games. You see, most gamblers want to lose their money fairly.
And how does Firefox deal with it on other platforms? (Windows, desktop Linux, Android Linux)
I'm not sure it's ever appropriate to speculate on what elements of life drive happiness for other people.

Everything everyone does is by definition in pursuit of satisfying some internal motivation, and it doesn't seem reasonable to me to second-guess other people's choices for the purpose of optimizing their happiness against external criteria -- only for the purpose of preventing externalities that harm our own pursuit of happiness.

Attempting to create macro-scale metrics that attempt to approximate the optimality of of individuals' subjective experience, rather than measuring objective consequences of their manifest behavior -- like their actual economic activity -- seems both too abstract to be useful and too susceptible to manipulation by those with ulterior motives.

So I agree that economic productivity is the best measure, but for quite different reasons.
Evaluating K-NN in the Classification of Data Streams with Concept Drift
Ohh I miss the good old days of forums in general. I find all this new software, where conversions* are "threaded" stupidly hard to read. Even worse, when the software is trying to recommend to you, what to read. Back in the day you had a thread, every post to that thread was chronologically added to that thread and in case you wanted to reply to someone, you quoted them... sigh

EDITED:

Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't realized Microsoft had jumped on the Docker bandwagon to that extent; it's far enough from the topic at hand and from anything I'd ever use that I overlooked it.

So while there is in fact an exception to my previous generalization, there's still no cross-platform compatibility magic to Docker aside from that of virtual machines. If the container OS is different from the host OS (or a different version of the OS, for Windows containers), then using Docker is an instance of using VMs, not an alternative to VMs.
What's not software-controlled these days? DJI has better products, consumers buys DJI, DJI is Chinese, consumer end-up with Chinese software, what's your point?
I was backing up the OP talking about the government stepping in and bringing prices under control, which for some reason you assumed must have meant violating supply and demand.
yes you are correct, the group behind it (that claimed the attack) are hacktivists doing DDoS, they themselves are not connected to the Russian government
they've claimed multiple other similar attacks, but most of the time they are just spreading pro-war messages in their telegram
I dislike forums which indent successive replies.

I hate forums which indent replies and don’t support collapsing sub-threads.

The proper way of handling replies is to post them under each other and support quoting.
Thankfully only $100 or so.
It's apps all the way down. Jokes aside, you're absolutely right - "Facebook Apps" have been a thing for over a decade. And before Facebook, AOL was like an "Everything App" that had apps within it. Same story.... new marketing folks.
I'm not trying to prop up the Russian military here, but I feel that your statement of "if they could have they would have" doesn't follow to logical conclusions.

Keep in mind, the common attribution of the supply chain attacks across a number of vendors was Russian actors.

Also keep in mind that large scale attacks have typically started with thoroughly unconvincing "Hey Bob check this out" emails with a malicious excel doc.

The point here isn't to say that the Russian government has mastermind hackers, but instead to understand that an actual and effectual attack doesn't need elite skills, just a few gullible people and known exploits on unpatched servers.

I find it far more likely that any world government has the traditional hacks playbook and still get over .500 in most environments they attack without a single novel zero-day.

The attack described in the article is to antagonize, no doubt, but I wouldn't be very fast to describe the abilities of someone based on how they troll people. This is not the same as an assertion of "they are the best hackers", it's more I just don't think this is representative of the actual capability of any state actor, the Russian military included.
IMO Google and Facebook are very different in this sense. At least from a user point of view, Google's sites seem to typically be well implemented (the annoying thing about the company is more that they are wasting lots of good brains on a mismanaged projects that only get half-released and ad tech).

The best thing I'll say about Facebook is that their site doesn't give the impression that a ton of talent has been wasted on it.
What you need to be concerned about is if coinbase fails for totally normal business reasons and they halt all transactions, what rights do you have?

With real banks, there are pretty clear pecking orders for creditors vs depositors and depositors have FDIC to cover at least some in the worst disasters.

Would you have higher priority in getting your own coins back over senior debt holders?

“Not your keys, not your coins” is exactly what it sounds like. You really have no say at all in how the above scenario plays out.

There have been a hundred+ years of laws to figure out how to give rights to cash, bonds, equities to people who have them held by an institution. That hasn’t happened with crypto.
That’s pretty rough, first you get goxed, then you get doxed.

Next step will be $87B worth of new IRS agents working backwards through chain data to find the source of these funds.
>Never assume malice etc

The assumption isn't "malice", it's "profit"
> UK has been so hot and dry this year that you are getting wild fires in England.

The UK does get wild fires. They are mostly controlled for the most part due to the great efforts of the forestry commission.

> WTF is wrong with people here are you guys so brainwashed by all the propaganda from oil and gas companies that you need to qualify every data point about global warming as maybe.

No, we need to be careful about pointing at specific data points and shouting "SEE!", because if it turns out not to be related, you hurt your argument.

> In the last year we have got a huge number of data points from around the world showing effects of global warming but each article on hackernews about it top comment is a qualifying statement.

There is no problem with caution, and no problem with honest good faith discussion.

> Stop being ostriches and burying your head in the sand.

Every generation believes in some disaster within their lifetime. This mostly affects young people, and then they grow older and see things don't actually really change so much.
Agree. Crypto is a total bullsh!t, and just waste of energy.
But I suppose, why did they isolate in the first place? Plenty of places have been 'isolated' by geography....but then they opened up...Japan resists that...uniquely...right? I mean, that's kind of special. Why? Do you think, like apart from just the general thing of: we didn't have any other influences and culture moves slowly? Now the world is awash in influences...you can open up or you can stay insular. Japan makes a choice...I'm interested in why...do you think that's something special about Japanese or it's just everywhere?
It makes perfect sense to me why the US Government would take that stance. I don't agree with it, but it makes sense. Even if a US based company is tracking user location or audio or whatever privacy concerns, a couple letters with a government stamp on it can get the US Gov complete access to all that data. That's not the case for Chinese tech, and the Chinese government can do the same trick of gobbling up all that available data from companies in their jurisdiction.

Or I guess to put it another way, if you're dragnetting basically all possible user data from your citizens and non-citizens, wouldn't you assume "competing" countries are doing the same thing?
Helidon for Microservices Flies High
This may be true for the majority of people and random web tasks. But performance is more than just thoroughput. The random round trip time and lack of ipv4 from mobile telcos means if you want to participate in the internet as a peer rather than just a consumer you need a physical transmission line.
Ask HN: Developers in rural locations: Do you feel you are missing out?
A lot of folks I know (myself included) are moving or want to move to more rural towns (from ~4 Mio. to around 10k popluations).

Anyone here did the same? Do you miss MeetUps, conferences or many like-minded people? If so, how do you make up for it?
Ask HN: Best way to stop bot traffic?
I have a site that gets bombarded with worthless robot traffic. I have previously used cloudflare but a lot of bots still gets through.

What have you used that has been effective?
As far as I can gather from reading this - contamination cannot be ruled out.

A profound question the immigrant writer pondered as he approached mid-life having spent a decade climbing the corporate ladder in IT management. The quest for an answer leads to a career switch and a DevOps position in a modern software development environment at a world renowned university. The reader is taken on a year-long experience into the daily technical and personal challenges encountered navigating a newfound reality filled with observations, doubt, fear, and a little humor. All along, a personal journey unravels with brief and intimate fragments of how that initial question, that we have all asked ourselves, arose.

Chapter 1, Part 2! Something I wrote pre-pandemic and would love to hear feedback/comments
As someone who has graduate level math education and about 25 years working as a professional programmer, I emphatically disagree.

A type system is itself a programming language. If it is going to implement complex enough logic, it will be Turing complete. It does not magically become clearer simply because it ideas have been expressed in a type system. For an amusing demonstration, read through https://aphyr.com/posts/342-typing-the-technical-interview. That is a working program that solves the 8 queens problem entirely in Haskell's type system.

And the type systems that you are used to are simpler in part because they are NOT Turing complete. This limits what you can say in them. In this case, for example, the author was unable to express higher derivatives as types.

Now perhaps your desire is for unambiguous machine-checkable logic? If so then I highly recommend learning something like https://coq.inria.fr/. It is a worthwhile enterprise, and there are serious mathematicians who say that it, or something like it, should be implemented for all of math. However one of the objections to it is that it is harder to express and understand yourself in such systems. So unambiguous machine-checkability is a win, but not necessarily the one you thought it was.

And then we come to the real issue. Are you optimizing for use, or for the person who doesn't understand the subject? It is literally impossible to think about complex things without a concise notation. The actual notation that we have has a lot of history and rough spots. But verbosity impedes comprehension. So what makes life easy for the novice and expert are exactly opposite. Also most of the use of the material is by experts, who are also who the notation is designed to be most helpful for. However even for students it helps. So much so that learning the notation generally pays off within a course or two. That is, learning the same ideas WITHOUT the notation would have been harder than learning both notation and ideas. So notation merely creates an obvious barrier, but then helps with the real one.

I know you don't believe me. You've told others that it is about what works best for you. But with all due respect, you can't have any idea what actually works best for you until you've actually mastered a sufficient amount of the subject. Which you apparently haven't. Until then you are best off believing people who HAVE mastered the subject, and have spent sufficient time teaching and tutoring to know where the real barriers to understanding are for students. And everyone I know in that boat, including me, says that the notation helps more than it hurts.
Fair question -- here are a few examples:

On Wikipedia's entry for Facebook, there's no discussion in the 2006-12 section about Facebook's steps to monetize the site around targeted ads. That has had gigantic global impact and was the impetus for Meta/Facebook's emergence as one of the world's most profitable companies. But Facebook never "announced" that it was doing this. So the entry is clogged with a string of quite minor "announcements" that it did make -- touching on short-lived headquarters moves, feature tweaks, obscure awards, etc. instead.

Wikipedia's entry on Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins is an achingly long list of votes she's taken over the years, or one-line quotes about her positions at various moments in time, without any effort to write coherently about what's been consistent or evolving in her political views. Also absent is any nuanced sense of how Collins's journey interacted with changing political tides. We end up with a 20,000-word string of factoids that goes on forever, with scant insight about her enduring impact, core principles, etc.
At some level of performance demand, you need to reverse-engineer (or read the source code of, if available) the kernel to get good performance on any OS.
I think it has a so what problem. It sounds nice but then so...? I failed to understand what exactly the author wanted to convince people to do. Expectations - for who? Let's say someone does exactly this, then failed to actually ship something that people want then it's as useless as not knowing the list at all.
This is neat! I built a similar service that basically uses song playlist co-occurrence to generate song recommendations for any given Spotify track, and have found some good initial success for more popular tracks / artists [1].

The bottleneck here is using the Spotify API to find relevant playlists - as others have noted here, Spotify's API doesn't provide a way to perform direct lookup of playlists containing a given track, so the best approach I've found is to perform many text-based searches for desired search terms (e.g. artist, song name), and then do breadth-first-search on playlists created by the same users from the initial result set, in order to find other playlists that might have the artist or song you are looking for.

[1] Available in very limited fashion at https://vybe.link; this is a Spotify beta application so the full app only works for whitelisted Spotify accounts
Having worked in Unity I'd take engineering advice from their top execs with a grain of salt.
This is very cool! Is there a way to contribute or something to have support for ukulele ? I'm just starting to learn the uke and this could be very useful.
