"Geofencing"? Give me a break. Not being able to drive from one place to another in a straight line by car doesn't mean your city is becoming a prison. It's called "filtered permeability" and many cities in the free world (e.g. in the Netherlands) have done it since the 80s and it's fine. You have to go a bit further -- I'm sure you'll be alright a few extra minutes inside your climate-controlled metal box.

If like me you don't own a car, you already live in a de facto "geofenced" world. I physically cannot get from my city to the city next door by bicycle in a reasonably fast and safe manner, even though they are less than 10 miles apart. Why? Because the roads aren't safe enough. What should be a pleasant 40 minute journey through the lovely British countryside, is instead a nasty 2 hour trudge through zigzagging housing estate streets and terrifying close passes with lorries on A-roads. Or I could take the train, but it only comes once an hour and there are still annoying trips to and from the stations.

Even within my city there are zones where one has to make a 3-4 mile detour on a bike to get between places that are less than a kilometre apart, because the direct path is a 50mph motorway and there are literally no bike paths or canal towpaths or even pedestrian paths to get directly from one to the other. This wasn't done on purpose, just sheer carelessness and car-centric myopia. But that doesn't make it any less infuriating, that I pay for these roads with my taxes yet am unable to use them.

Why don't I deserve to have my journey be reasonably direct and safe, just because I don't have a car?

And then there are the people who want to ban escooters and rip out bike lanes and so on -- I bet you think that's just common sense and not the cruel assault on liberty and mobility that it really is.

For my part I welcome the ULEZ and things like it. Every car taken off the road is a car that can't smash into me.
> American taxpayers have a serious problem with the government.

Perhaps, but every other department first passed its audit at least fourteen years ago. The defense department has failed all 5 of its audits. This is in the article. This shouldn't be an opportunity to bash HUD and the EPA.
The PM ladder is undoubtedly there for MBAs to perform wealth extraction from you. And it works, for now.

If you see those "day in the life" videos going around Twitter/YT where the person literally does no work, it's always a PM. Sundar Pichai (and I think Satya Nadella too) came up through this ladder. It's a role for professional office politicians created under the guise that engineers can't figure out what to do for themselves.

I ordered an Orange Pi 5 in their presale this week.

The hardware looks good, but I hope it doesn’t end up like every other SBC I’ve ordered where it is forgotten about software wise on release day, and distros can’t pick up the slack.
This list doesn't ring true to me, the entries don't seem at all naturally distributed. Why on earth would col123456 be the 9th most popular password in the world, yet not appear in the top 200 of any of the country specific lists, nor any other col1 prefixed variation?
Then you’ve just contradicted yourself here. You said the only reason an application would be denied is if the name is misspelled (and assumed that’s why the OP was rejected), yet it could also be due to missing documents, so it feels a bit presumptuous when you said they misspelled their name.
If carriers/ISPs monitored their networks better (or acted on abuse@ emails), their IPs wouldn't wind up on blocklists (either temporarily or permanently).

edit: That isn't to say they should be logging every packet... But if I work for XYZ Hosting Company and spin up a new VM, hand you the IP, and you turn the IP into a mini-shodan scanner... Is the hosting company at least a little responsible for what happens next?
Don't forget that there was a big campaign to get people on diesel cars. Turns out the "science" was wrong again and now diesel cars registered before 2016 are not compliant.
Even if that was true (it isn't) it doesn't establish them as a real thing or as something that's not a western category of thought.
There is no country that denies the existence of the concentration/"re-education" camps in Xinjiang.

I'm going to trust Anar Sabit's first-hand experiences in the Xinjiang concentration camps over the claims of an HN user who has an issue with "Anglosaxons". Xinjiang itself is a location where citizens are incarcerated en masse for speaking against the ruling government's agenda, and also for much less than that. You have no evidence that the people trapped in these concentation camps are "backed by NED".

Build in public.

I started posting about my work on social media. Bear in mind that this is a website about local bureaucracy, hardly interesting stuff. People reached out, invited me for drinks, etc. I met a few of them, heard their feedback, gave mine. We met again and again and became friends.

We all build our own thing, but share knowledge openly and talk shop over a pint. Some want to talk about money and growth and others want to talk about the tech or even the ethics. It's nice to have such a variety of conversations spawned from a few tweets.

I'd also encourage you to reach out. Take the time to write to strangers on the internet. It's no different than walking to your neighbour's garage while he's working on something. It's how you meet people who like working on stuff.
I was excited to read its embeddable data structure then found it did Redis serialisation. I was hoping for something close to plasma store given that one isn’t getting much love these days. Would be great to get something that can save binary formats like arrow.

> there is nothing “good” about this.

There totally is, but the good is only apparent to people with the perspective of most of our ancestors. Nixon took us off the gold standard in 71', and yet he lied at the time and said it was 'temporary'. Why was that? We grew up in school being told that the gold standard was a janky old technology that failed leading to the great depression. If that's true, why did we stay on the gold standard until 1971 and why did Nixon lie when he took us off of it?

All of history, property rights have been workable only with armies to enforce them. And what inevitably happens is that the armies will end up stealing from the people whose property rights they are ostensibly protecting.

The existence of property that, in the hands of a skilled user, _cannot_ be stolen, is, indeed revolutionary.

I agree that this system is far too complex for most people. Most people will probably just end up using federated chaumian mints. "All" they will get is the benefit of a currency that doesn't depreciate, year after year, and the resulting cultural shift that arises when people don't need to participate in complex mechanisms they don't understand, just to save for the future.

I think we are likely to see the rise of a technobrahmin class that understands both crypography and ML, and uses this knowledge in the service of tiny micro-tribes of people they grew up with. Civilization has long required specialization, and i think we're about to see a migration of 'trusted information authorities' from places like the New York Times, all the way down the social hierarchy to, 'a guy i went to grade school with that i know is honest'.
Suffering with meaning or purpose usually as a necessary sacrificial step that leads to Joy would be fulfilling. Suffering by random forces and then Joy from other random voices can only teach you the lesson that life does not care about you, or that you are a mere observer of your own destiny. Humbling, sure, but not very inspiring.
This is a plugin for those looking for a VSCode-like experience in Neovim.

Some of the unique features:

A rich set of default plugins which make up an IDE experience
A Panel which stacks plugins similar to VSCode
The ability to swap groups of plugins into panels, similar to VSCode
A well defined API for creating out-of-tree plugins and extending `nvim-ide`
If you are particularly looking for an "all-in-one" IDE plugin then this maybe interesting to you.

Some of the worst politics I ever saw were in nonprofit entities.

Primarily, it was because some with dominant personalities made decisions that were not rational, informed, and or fair. The faithful talent tend to get hurt the most, as they invest more resources being driven by their ideals.

I am all for profit sharing, but someone has to take responsibility for risk mitigation. The worst firms are ones where every narcissist thinks they are the CEO. The more money at stake... the quicker things tend to turn nasty.

Best of luck =)

why is it called constant time if it isn't constant with respect to array length? Just seems confusing because the algorithm is linear without a short circuit
Why is that odd? You could provide a typed API in other languages that leverages a suite of different side-channel proof algorithms. In order to provide such an API, you need a portable language compatible with the C calling convention for FFI support in other languages. The only language that meets such criteria is C.
> One of my pet peeves in video games is pop-in and billboarding of far objects.

Yep pop-in within natural environments is one of the last big immersion breakers. Fly or climb to what should be a majestic view and suddenly fake-looking trees spoil everything.
The people I was talking about don't fit into either of those categories - but are more like the person in the interview. They might believe, but the most important part is the community around them and the piece of mind they get. This doesn't make them dumb in my eyes, but completely relatable. It's a bit like selecting a framework to develop an application -- you can do everything from scratch, but your life will mostly be easier by building on top of something else.

Granted, this might be a cultural thing and there a cultures where the beliefs are less practical and more intense, including intense studies of holy books. But most people around me that are religious don't do that. It's just been my experience.
I remember a youtube Video 3-5 years ago, where a dude explained the process really well and generated music e.g. from Mozart and it really sounded okay. It was not great, but this was 3-5 years ago. But i cant find his channel anymore :(

That is why i'm also confused how it didn't progress much further in the last 3-5 years, at least a little bit.
>you had read and understood the relevant papers

How would you know that if I hadn't published papers on the relevant topics and only published in adjacent, non-mainstream topics?

And yes, the bar for string theory is high. Not every research fellow in theoretical physics would be qualified to comment here - quite the opposite actually. In the same way any honest theoretical plasma physicist will refuse to comment on quantum computing papers. Inside academia it is well known that you often can't even expect people to create qualified comments across neighbouring offices inside departments. Regardless, there are quite a few qualified people in this area. If someone with caliber like Susskind, Gross, 't Hooft, Witten or from the respected younger generation came out and said it's all a hoax, you can bet everyone would listen. And they have come out with specific critique, but you'll find it very different from the likes of Hossenfelder and it is usually not discussed in popsci literature. Noone in the field cares about people who haven't even shown they understand it, let alone contributed to it.
Anyone working in a startup right now should be evaluating these hard truths from the article:

We raised a ‘hot’ Series A, but have not proven PMF
Our uniqueness is more in our narrative than in our product
We are building a feature, not a product
We have no clue how to get solid unit economics
We have built a high-pay ‘9 to 5’ spoiled culture (btw, ‘Startups are hard’ is not meant to be true only for Founders)
Our top performers will quit as soon as they find another job

If you are one of the “top performers” then you should be thinking about how much you really believe the business can make it.
I've been looking for something like that for a long time. I still remember someone remarking to me at Schmoo that one day I'll need a "real bank" rather than a credit union, and how cold they got when I replied "Well, I've got savings, checking, they give a good rate on home loans, and while you can't beat the market I'm getting about 9% on my index funds. Other than help you cheat on your taxes, what specifically does Chase Manhattan do that [redacted] does not?"

He replied "Things like that are why you'll never find a real job." and stormed off.

(I was trying to escape my PhD at the time, but the world being what it was in the Summmer after Snowden, somehow the only offer I got was a K Street NGO, and absolutely zero companies that would pay me a fair wage for my labor.)

Anyways, if anyone is looking for something with information security experience for their co-op feel free to reply -- I'd love to log out of this nym, which was supposed to only last for a weekend in Las Vegas, forever, but I can not do that until I complete my... mission.
Good advice - I wish diving leaned a bit more into managing buoyancy early on. I used to sometimes dive tail for a dive instructor doing group instruction if there was a shaky diver - some stressful moments. My ears hated it because I naturally am a slow decend/ ascend diver

She also mentions that this happens 1 1/2 pages in on average which I would agree with. I write using Notability on an iPad and my handwriting is fairly small.

I just looked through a few. I write about 8 words per row and there's 36 rows. Around 300 words on each page, so ~900 words for morning writing.

I do feel you on the burning out part. I almost always get at least 2 pages in a day. Sometimes more than 3, but I timebox it and move on without feeling bad if I don't always get 3.
Not really. It doesn't rely on that big of an assumption, nor does it require nation state resources[0]. When you're trying to find the secret you can make a bunch of requests and measure for statistically significant change, which can still be detectable beyond jitter & web server load.

Also ignoring the fact that calling constant_strcompare(string, string) instead of strcompare(string, string) when working with secrets isn't that big of an ask.

I'm not going to argue terms with you, I'm not an economist. But I do hope that rwaksmunski also harumphs the term "net worth" when used by more respectable publications than cited cryptoslate.com, because I would argue "worth" of bitcoin is closer to money in whichever sense of the word than "net worth" is when usually mentioned.
Remember you position, and tell me in 5 years tell me whether you are more or less able to move.

remindme 5 years, lol.

The way you choose to live btw - everywhere by bike, public transport, uber, or wherever - is the biggest part of the trick. You believe you are choosing to go along with the provided plan; quite wise really.

If you love cycling, great. Your grannie or child might not. So people in just the next town, are, as you say, now out of bounds to you. And you are happy about it.

You already have less freedom of movement than your parents did, and are happy about it. The plans are quite detailed about all the other things you will get a chance to be happy about. Online everything, micromanagements of resources.

As long as you are able to maintain a rosey outlook about it all, you're free, right? Just don't choose outside of the (shrinking) menu, and you'll be fine.

No, computer science is still deductive even with the C-T thesis. CS is definitely not empirical. If I think of an algorithm, I can explain its properties mathematically without experimentation.

Hope I'm not misunderstanding your comment and over-egging the reply.

Irony isn't a particularly useful concept when dealing with speech on
the internet, which is fragmented and in ambiguous contexts.

And it goes against HN guidelines to proffer the most generous and
sincere writing/interpretation possible.

There's a difference between irony and sarcasm, prevalent here, and
both definitions are largely abused or misunderstood these days.

Look for words like "seemed", which invokes the concept of appearance
and therefore implicitly casts doubt on appearances.

What I am conveying here, by "narrative" (story/account) is that as a
mature person, with some experience of the matters, I have many
reservations about the way things were told to me growing up by
"authority" figures from my past.

That's not really irony. More of a sceptical tone. Sceptical about
the whole way that "war narratives" and public opinion is spun.
> Rockefeller's wealth can be seen 100 years later, in forms that no creature comfort can surpass: media and political power, generations of rich and powerful children, and countless buildings and institutions named after his family.

Calvin Coolidge was US President from 1923 to 1929, which would have been a powerful position to have. And yet this influential individual could do nothing when his son got sick:

Your hindsight is missing a lot of nuance.

In the first few months, there was a fog of war. How transmissable is it? How deadly? What is the most effective course of treatment? How does the disease affect our internal systems?

In hindsight, we now know the facts.

We also developed a vaccine which reduces the severity of symptoms if not outright prevents infection in some individuals.

The initial reaction to lock down saved lives. Your own might never have been at risk, but there are many higher risk folks who benefited from the time we bought with lockdowns early on.

Lockdowns now do not make sense. We understand the disease. We have courses of treatment. We have functional vaccines. We have some level of population immunity.

Does not make much sense for a woman. Until recently, with the advent of a relatively safe society and without birth control options, they basically had no say in having children.

Now, we get to find out the market price (excluding long term externalities) of birthing a child (and child #2, 3, 4, 5, etc) without the fact of being physically weaker tilting the scales.
Assuming that license related files in the repo are accurate this doesn't look all that complicated.

The License and notice files appear to be sufficient to understand the situation and there's really not a lot going on. The licensing files indicate that Klarna AB holds copyrights in the code (with some others mentioned) and that it is all licensed under Apache 2.0.

Naturally, the license related files in the repo can be inaccurate or incomplete. But when dealing with open source software you have to pick a point where you're going to trust these kinds of representations from strangers.
It is as if the same people who can't do proper accounting now confuse the difference between accounting and budgeting.

Issue with books is not budget overruns but that money is unaccounted for. Money has somehow vanished. Where did it go? Why can't they figure out such a simple thing? Use double-entry book-keeping. Money that comes from somewhere must go somewhere. This suggests they/somebody don't want to record in books where the money went. Smells like corruption and criminality. Who got the money?
