Computers are hot. No, I mean, they're hot. They heat our house in the winter here in primarily sunny Southern California (not as much as my wife would like, but that's another story for another day).

I had to look at the date on the article to see if this was written 20 years ago, since most modern computers aren't that hot and use very little power when not in use, unless you've got a big gaming (or crypto mining) rig.

Then I read further:

Normies don't have a room with an IBM POWER6, Sawtooth G4 (and its FireWire RAID), Mac mini G4, Macintosh IIci, Alpha Micro Eagle 300, Cobalt RaQ and associated IoT devices and network backbone infrastructure running non-stop (to say nothing of the Apple Network Server 500 and HP 9000/350 that also occasionally come out to play).

So the article wasn't written 20 years ago, but his computers at at least that old.

The only computer that I run 24x7 is a fileserver + home automation controller, and it uses around 35W of power (including the network switch), which is still more than I'd like, I want to build one that's more power efficient.
The over-scroll stretch animation in Android 12 makes me sick so I had to disable animations completely, as there is no option to just disable that.

This does have the effect of making Firefox buggy and not showing the content at the top of a page before you scroll down and up again. Which only works on sites you can scroll on.

> Maybe after 5 or 10 or 100 reports, the system will automatically make the reported content invisible.

This explains why so much "moderation" on sites like Twitter seems to lack any rhyme or reason.
While I agree with the first portion of your rebuttal, the second portion makes no sense as leaked code is not "you" putting it on the internet. It would be a nefarious actor doing so.
I really want Google to advertise this...

Ie. I want them to commit to "No human who works at Google will ever see your email or photos without you knowing about it". And then splash that statement all over TV ads.

Set up some system so every time an engineer sees user data, the owner of that data is sent a notification (and there are legit reasons for that, like investigating a bug a user has reported). It doesn't need to be for every kind of user data, just the super sensitive ones like the text of emails.

Among many others. Classical music may have fallen into public domain, but modern performances of it is copyrightable, and some of the big companies use copyright matching systems, including YouTube's, that often flags new performances as copies of recordings.
I wonder if GenZ is screwed because their entire development has been stalked by adware pillaging their dopamine receptors.
Unless lawyers from the music industry step in.
Maybe I am not getting it, but feather icons have been around for a while (I am a big fan). I am therefore surprised that nobody posted this link before. Or did they just release the website?
In Germany, the fact that you can just walk onto the platform at any time and that your ticket is checked after boarding is very convenient.

However, on-time performance in Germany is horrendous compared to China, so I'm not willing to call Germany's operations as a whole superior. If I had to choose between my train arriving within half an hour of the scheduled time and having to board airplane style, I would board airplane style.
Yeah, it sure is a post to HN.

People upthread have reproduced and demonstrated that that's not the issue here.

It's far, far more likely to be all the closed schools, skipped years, and subpar/skipped online classes that were pushed with unnecessary lockdowns.

Umm the algorithm allows you to bypass collusion laws by having everyone run the same algorithm. It’s the newest in legal innovation using algorithms to do illegal shit then blame it on the algorithm

Another click bait by HN to attract anti Indian haters. Because just saying mercenary was not enough. Media including HN continue to profile issues around race or ethnicity instead of action because that way they sell more . Is it too hard to imagine ther are good and bad people in every country and what matters is their action and not their fucking culture or ethnicity?? It is not but media will not do it for their own vested interest.
It's interesting he discusses Liquid Haskell (proofs via refinement types) extensively:

"So, for me, that’s as far as increasing our ability to give you statically guaranteed theorems about Haskell programs.

My money’s on Liquid Haskell at the moment and I hope that we the Haskell community"

My experience is that other refinement type systems are way less complex. See: https://github.com/hwayne/lets-prove-leftpad

In particular, compare https://github.com/hwayne/lets-prove-leftpad/blob/master/liq... to https://github.com/hwayne/lets-prove-leftpad/blob/master/daf...

For me this has been a bit of a disappointment.
> intentionally make things more difficult for themselves as a preference

No-one would do that, that would be crazy. People intentionally make things easier for themselves as a preference, and different people find different things easy or hard.
A real slam dunk argument against the ACT.
Being taxable is the necessary concession for adoption though. You want privacy in your transactions, but you still have an obligation to pay taxes on them.
This shows how copyright is all screwed up. Let's say the code in question is based on a published algorithm, maybe Yuster and Zwick, (I did not check).

What exactly gives Davis a better claim to the copyright than the inventors of the algorithm? Yes, I know software is copyrightable while algorithms are not, but it is not at all clear to my why that should be the case. The effort of translating an algorithm into code is trivial compared to designing the algorithm in the first place, no?
For the record, I don't typically think in terms of the open source community.

I grant that if most people are using it one way here I was likely wrong for the way it is typically used by the normal open source community, I followed up with a reply saying it would likely be more correct for me to have said "improperly licensed" to be included in the training set.

Still it being private means it probably shouldn't be in the training set anyway regardless of license, because in the future, truly proprietary code could be included, or code without any license which reserves all right to the creator.
Much to your dismay, Arabs never destroyed things with religious fanaticism. They were mostly hands free and laid back with the fewest rules for non-ruling communities, especially in the early years of the expansion.

Instead what they did was build on top of existing stuff. The Arabs didn't invent aqua ducts. They got it from other civilizations. What Arabs did do was connect ideas from the Greeks, Romans, Indians, North Africa, and sub sahara Africa. And because they were laid back with the fewest rules, lot more innovation and mashing of ideas occurred during this period.

this was in contrast to the Roman Catholic Church which was more domineering and controlling to a fault.

Search youtube for "how Islam saved western civilization" for a rundown. The library in Spain was a collection of all the great European works until Europe awokened in the Renaissance which was built off of the works Arabs had continued.

I can believe that, yeah, that sounds likely enough. However, even if my fingers overall can easily exert the necessary force, it isn't clear to me that this should imply that any individual molecular bond between atoms in my fingers should be able to withstand the necessary force.

To me, it feels like it shouldn't be able to? (I say "feels" because I have not like, looked up any of the numbers about this or anything like that, and I could easily be wrong)

And, perhaps this could be the/a reason one might doubt that containing it in a diamond would work as an alternative to things like parts being brought together suddenly through precise collisions or using confinement from magnetic fields and such?

Though, of course, I'm not saying that doubting for that reason would probably lead to a correct conclusion. I wouldn't know much of anything about how one would achieve nuclear fusion, or how strong chemical bonds are, etc. .
It's an excellent tool. Would be nice if it showed you the full linker output too, of the final binary.
> Normally such content would be taken down after sufficient number of reports were received.

I can't be the only one who sees a problem with this. No content should ever be taken down automatically just because a bunch of random people report it.
…yes, as I understand it there are ‘mechanical’ rights vs. publishing rights… (for example hip hop artists may recreate a sample to avoid paying mechanical royalties, but still end up paying for publishing)

You are totally right. Companies would never do stuff like using handouts on stock buybacks instead of workers right? Right?
I don't think that's right. I think you'd have a global state like landingPage.Items[].Accordion, and the accordion code in any location would be passed its state and messages already unwrapped by the parent. Nobody would need to know about its collapsed field or any other state it tracks for that matter
Well, all software on GitHub, more or less, satisfies this definition, so I don't think it's what was meant.

Have you tried posting it on your existing blog?

How is your analysis of Twain so spicy that you’re expecting to both A. get autobanned by Medium and B. not be able to get the ban reversed upon appeal?

Would you care to share a snippet of your literary analysis that you think might lead to you being kicked off your platform? Otherwise, this seems like a bit of an ad for your (edgy?) blog.
Not just you. I found it kind of dodgy that OP uses a 3 hour old account that alludes to a different company, but if you click through two links you will realize they've stopped working at that company over a year ago, and now works at Visium, the company posting the blog post. I'm having trust issues when such a trivial thing requires lieing.

I run brick.do, which lets anyone publish anything. It’s basically a WYSIWYG pastebin with support for subdomains, nested pages, CSS, and JS.

All your posts are disconnected from each other unless you explicitly decide to claim authorship — that is, by default nobody can discover than posts/sites A and B are by the same author. We also don’t divulge authorship information to anyone. We’ve been threatened with lawsuits already and we didn’t care.

Our policy is that we don’t censor anything (beyond what is actually illegal in Estonia, where we are based). No algorithmic banning either. Brick aims to be a (small) piece of internet infrastructure rather than a social network.
Seriously asking, how is it even possible to submit this to hn at this point? When one submits a previously submitted link, doesn't it just alias to the previous submission?
Because I have seen this bias on HN. I feel the need to call it out. Why is it bothering you? Can't I have my opinion? Or should I be forced to conform to everyone's opinion here? I'm no sheep. I have my own independent thinking and I base my opinions on that. I am infact against Big Tech censorship as a whole. What I find amusing is that Big Tech on HN gets preferential treatment based on which side of the political aisle one is on (as the Company you support or are against depends on the Company's overarching political leaning).
You can patent an algorithm if you want to protect it.

Ask HN: How would you solve this one-off data processing problem?
My mom asked me how many World Series championships have been won by each team since 1970. Since I didn't have this data readily available, I had to improvise.

Curious to see how others would solve this problem. For instance, where did you find the data, how did you fetch it and then transform it?
This is the kind of writing I might be interested in putting out on my site, substack, and in print. See my about section.
I do indeed. The project is called SPX (Single Page XHR) which is a play on the SPA (Single Page Application) naming convention. The latest build is available on the feature branch: https://github.com/panoply/spx/tree/feature - You can also consume it via NPM: pnpm add spx (or whichever package manager you choose) - If you are working with Stimulus, then SPX can be used instead of Turbo and is actually where you'd get the best results, as Stimulus does a wonderful job of controlling DOM state logic whereas SPX does a great job of dealing with navigation.

I developed it to scratch an itch I was having with alternatives (like Turbo) that despite being great are leveraging a class based design pattern (which I don't really like) and others which are similar were either doing too much or too little. Turbo (for example) fell short in the areas pertaining to prefetch capabilities and this is the one thing I really felt needed to be explored. The cool thing with SPX which I was able to achieve was the prefetching aspect and I was surprised no-one had ever really tried it or if they did the architecture around it seemed to be lacking or just conflicting to some degree.

A visitors intent is typically predictable (to an extent) and as such executing fetches over the wire and from here storing the response DOM string in a boring old object with UUID references is rather powerful. SPX does this really efficiently and fragment swaps are a really fast operation. Proximity prefetches are super cool but also equally as powerful are the intersection prefetches that can be used. If you are leveraging hover prefetches you can control the threshold (ie: prefetch triggers only after x time) and in situations where a prefetch is in transit the module is smart enough to reason with the queue and prioritise the most important request, abort any others allowing a visit to proceed un-interruped or blocking.

In addition to prefetching, the module provides various other helpful methods, event listeners and general utilities for interfacing with store. All functionality can be controlled via attribute annotation with extendability for doing things like hydrating a page with newer version that requires server side logic and from here executing targeted replacements of certain nodes that need changing.

Documentation is very much unfinished (I am still working on that aspect) the link in readme will send you to WIP docs but if you feel adventurous, hopefully it will be enough. The project is well typed, rather small (8kb gzip) and it is easy enough to navigate around in terms of exploring the source and how everything works.

Apologise for this novel. I suppose I get a little excited talking about the project.
It's pixelated, so rapidly modulating which small angular sections of the illumination pattern are on or off. Imagine shining a bright light around the snowflakes but not on the snowflake, so there isn't much back-scatter.
Same argument was made for radio and TV. People got by.
Yes, it's tech that turns off individual pixels of the light beam that would illuminate the occluding snowflakes and raindrops while keeping most of the high beam turned on.
Agreed. Silver lining: MS is now heavily incentivized to invest in solutions for an open research problem.
Has so many buzzwords the eu will fund it any day now.
ruby-ish (yet more strongly typed) syntax that compiles to native code.
I'd think it would be system level programming with acceptably good performance with high level abstractions and the Ruby flavor. Similarly is Nelua[1] which uses Lua's syntax and APIs and compiles to C.

I ended up using Wikipedia and Excel as a quick-and-dirty approach.

Unfortunately, the Wikipedia table has a lot of extraneous annotations, so after copying it into my spreadsheet, I had to do some filtering and manual data munging to get it into a usable format. I then created a PivotTable to do the calculations.

My kids have been raised on organic raw grass-fed milk widely available in California. Also, our eggs are never refrigerated - we buy them from farmers' market and they say out even in the hottest summer days - no issues so far and they don't wanna drink any other milk! The best thing abour raw milk is that it's naturally homogenized and they drink true whole milk without any complaints!
I’ll bite.

1. Access to tech campus and seeing people in person.
2. Access to plenty of tech jobs (if layed off) and in person vs remote isn’t of much consequence.

If remote work is here to stay 2023 and onward I likely won’t be here in 2024.
The ISO standard requires at() to be checked, while it leaves for implementations the freedom to decide if operator[]() is checked or not.

As such, checks for operator[]() are usually only enabled in debug builds, although Android and Red-Hat ship with them enabled into production.

Additionally, before C++ got a standard library, the frameworks that were shipped alongside compilers always had those checks enabled by default.
> Isn't that literally what Twitter does as well? Making exceptions for Politicians and Government Representatives? Or does HN's bias towards Twitter exempt it from any form of scrutiny?

What a completely bizarre comment.

No one mentioned Twitter, there is no "HN" general viewpoint, and if I had to say I'd say most comments on HN about Twitter are negative.

I'd say this could be the worst case of "Whataboutism" I've ever seen, but it is such a weird thing to use "what about" regarding.

As someone trained in literary studies, I'd say the answer is technically yes, but in practice no. There are journals for these topics, but relatively fewer interested in publishing something relatively accessible from a layperson.
Glad to see it being featured here. Been a big fan since the beginning.

Probably already mentioned before (lazy to scroll) but if you’re building something and need icons don’t just use one package.

If you’re building in React or a compatible JSX library use react icons (https://react-icons.github.io/react-icons/).

It lets you pick and choose from many packs (Feather included) and if you’re careful with your selections you can meet pretty much all needs in a cohesive way. Until you can afford an in house designer :P

This is really nice! I generally use powerthesarus.org when I'm in need of synonyms, however the slimmed-down design of this and quotes are a charming touch. The dataset also seems to be better, for want of a better word (ironically!), the output seems more sophisticated. How much if this is hand curated?

I'd say it's the Ruby-inspired syntax. Some people find the Ruby syntax a joy to work with. Crystal has that, but also includes type checking out of the box, among other things.

The front page does a good job of outlining the key features of Crystal:

https://crystal-lang.org/

If none of these features seem that compelling for you, then Crystal may not be for you. As someone who has experience writing/reading/maintaining Ruby code, Crystal seems a lot more friendly to me than Go, but each to their own.

Ok - it is a true shame that the YouTube copyright claim system is so broken as to enable those shady practices, and that politicians still haven't upped their knowledge of the internet beyond a 'series of tubes'.

But surely the answer should be to fix the broken YT system and to educate politicians to abstain from baseless threats, not to make AI researchers pay for it?
