List programmers are not ignorant of mathematics. I knew about the closed form of Fibonacci long before I ever wrote the first line of code in Lisp.

I'm sure I've used Fib in examples, without always mentioning that it needs to be memorized to avoid a monstrous inefficiency, and that there's a direct way to calculate it.

The blogger is implying that whatever you don't mention must be something you don't know. That when you write on any topic, you must go down all the related rabbit holes you can think of in order to show that you know the topic inside out so as not to appear ignorant to someone who thinks like he does.

The problem is if you want to write a book which actually teach you somebody a certain topic like a programming language, that goal is almost completely at odds with the goal of writing in order to publish something which shows how smart you are.
How to Properly Apply Jobs-to-Be-Done to User Onboarding
Maybe Santa will deliver a working browser down Mozilla's chimney... ;-)
> Good tutorial. This is why I prefer 1Password, as it requires the secret key to be compromised in addition to the Master Password, thus providing protection against a weak master password.

Do you know that or do you just hope they do what you think they do?
Most of Canada has the same planning problems as the US. Namely, car-dependency. Toronto and Montreal are exceptions, but most of the country follows the same development pattern as the us.

But I think you're thinking about this wrong. Sprawl and transport policy are intimately related. If we do car-dependent development, you get a development pattern that requires cars. Then of course you look at the population distribution and say, it's hard to serve this with trains. But if you started with trains, the development pattern would mirror the transit, and you'd say, wow, trains really solved the problem.

America unfortunately went down the car path and faces a painful correction back to sanity. As we move towards transit and factor in car-driving externalities into the cost of driving, communities that can t feasibly be serviced with rail will die out, as is natural.

But that doesn't mean small villages won't exist. They will just be forced to exist where it is reasonable, instead of in unsustainable locations as they do today.
The criticism of the rhymes sounds off to me. I don't particularly like perfect rhymes. Author suggests that these rhymes might have been "perfect" in Middle English; I have no idea. But I like rhymes that are a bit wonky, because they reflect ancient pronunciations or local dialects or whatever.

Wonky rhymes feel more "real" to me.

It's called "dictionary attack", but author wasn't bothered doing full brute-force attack or masked attack. It's a demonstration that a laptop can reach `2,000,000+ H/s`.

this. when a programmer cannot explain how something works and just say, “oh this part was generated” ... well, thats worthless, because there is no ownership of knowledge.
Super cool. Another popular addition was a visitor counter.
It is valueable as the comments shows so easily how wrong religions get it, when many take religions as truths

Show HN: Wr8, Free Notion to Website Template
…exactly what they said? They were saying they are not going to invade as late as February 20, 2022. Then they said their objectives are total conquest on February 24, 2022 in a public TV address. They threatened nukes (everyone from Putin himself to TV pundits) for months until Xi publicly chided him.

But I am impressed how one can take perhaps the most morally unambiguous conflict in the century so far and still make it an uncertainty.
This is very interesting! How come Stanford owns so many properties? It strikes me a bit odd and their own website have plenty of listings to choose from, ranging from 500k to 5m. Perhaps the reason was first to ensure that staff can afford housing, but can they at these prices?

If you could afford a $5 million house, what would be the reason to buy it from Stanford and not on the open market? Is it at a market discount considering the cap on ROI?

Would you consider the options available in the listing [0] the cheapest way to get housing in the area?

Some previous commentary https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34123707

It's not just real email addresses, but this leak (if real) could have also de-anonymized a bunch of people if they were foolish enough to use their real name, or their email address that has this info
Eh?

A gasoline powered car will struggle in the cold because:

- the battery used to spin the engine is going to have less capacity in the cold
- the engine oil is thicker and requiring more energy to spin the engine
- gasoline won't atomize as well when it's being sprayed into a cold environment (this is why your engine runs richer right after a cold start)

A diesel powered car will struggle because:

- the temperature of the engine may be too low to allow ignition
- the battery used to spin the engine is going to have less capacity in the cold
- the engine oil is thicker and requiring more energy to spin the engine
- the devices used to heat the engine (glow plugs or intake heaters) require plenty of electricity
- the fuel itself may turn into gel (although I think most places in the US only ever sell #2 diesel year-round)
- the engine itself may not stay warm enough to run especially if you're also trying to pull heat out into the cabin

None of that's changed dramatically in the past 40 years although engine management has gotten better.
A personal take on this. I found myself allowing too much screen time for the kids while working at home and having the kids around me. I couldnt give enough attention to either work and kids. Its good for everyone that everything is back to (normal)
I wouldn’t say it necessarily correlates with validity - Darwinism is about one thing: fitness of survival.

I feel like if you squint a little you can see all the positive-memetic adaptations that get bolted on to organised religion.

A commandment to “worship no other god but me” is a classic example of something that seems less like profound revelation and more like an effective memetic adaptation.
The inclusion of Scott Morrison (ex Australian Prime Minister) as "ScottMorrisonMP" instead of "ScottMorrisonPM" could date things to after 23 May 2022 (when he was voted out of office).
New App Wants to Pay You to Share Your Data for Advertising
Does anyone have a good source on brute force and what is and isn't a good idea? I came across the below in a rather important website and am wondering if I should push harder for the to change it.

How secure is a randomized 5 digit pin where you get unlimited guesses but after 10 guesses the pin is reset?

Guessing the pin correctly gets you enough information to open a bank account.

Assuming a system like the above exists, would you consider it a security vulnerability?
> which has been reconstructed by several studies (by reputable institutions I should add)

Sources would be helpful.
- Ukraine will consider or even begin to replace the Cyrillic alphabet with the latin alphabet
Ive experienced similar with some local national parks. They now expect people to rely on digital navigation rather than paper, so only produce maps suitable for driving from landmark to landmark. Though I don't personally enjoy navigation by electronic device, having a hard copy backup is critical and getting harder to have.
And phone numbers.
The claim of black or gay people beeing inferior had been there for more than 4000 years. Does that give any validity to you?
I got a chuckle out of Edward, the frontend person learning about differences between the renderer and the browser process, which at this point is laid out for everyone in Electron's documentation: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/process-mode...

I was struggling with this as well the first time I wanted to look inside an Electron app.

(Also that the change stopped the fun for Googlers that had enrolled devices as well. Is that still true?)
Marginalia. Its creator hangs out on HN.
I submit due to this and other compliance deadlines in Jan 2023 that Twitter will be filing bankruptcy in Jan 2023.

If you use twitter as an auth point for other websites you should switch now as a bankruptcy filing might also include a twitter site shut down.
The linked post just seems odd in general.

1) I've seen s lot of leaks being ransomed by hackers and hacker groups before and this post seem a bit amateurish (terms, payment, reference to GDPR, name calling Elon etc)

2) That's not how GDPR fines work (the numbers referenced in the post regarding 400m users). The previous fines were given because of the lack of notifying the EU regulators. Not because of the size of the breach. If Twitter is only made aware of this leak now, they can send the reports now and then work on their internal investigation and no fines will be given.
I also enjoy mastering some tools and solving problems with them, but sometimes it gets a bit overwhelming when you are working with so many languages, libraries, and platforms.

Unfortunately, quite a portion of my search activity is hunting down the syntax for getting a certain thing done. It's not just blind copy-paste-trial-and-error activity. Quite often I just need some help in getting the syntax right or reminder of the specific command or library.
A much better (and mature) approach would be to ask google to turn the game into something educational.

Nothing is better for education than pupils thinking they are gaming when they are really learning useful stuff.
Damn, thanks a lot for all this info.
Given that practically every family has at least one car, I don't see how this is useful.
With 1Password you also have a randomly generated secret key. As I recall it’s a 128-bits, but could be wrong.

To access your vault an attacker will need both your master password and the secret key. These are effectively combined to generate your keys for decryption.

This protects against an attacker gaining access to 1Password servers. They can’t control whether you chose an awful password or not. So to protect them the secret key adds a ton of protection for those with weak, reused, or compromised passwords. Even in those cases an attacker needs to guess the secret key alongside the awful password. Using both the secret key and a strong master password is basically the equivalent of making a vault incredibly secure and, uncrackable using todays technology.

This does not protect against local compromise of a device of yours though, as the Secret Key is stored on device and is accessible. This prevents you from having to type it every time.
1. Start of a massive new immigration wave in Europe(around Q2-Q3), 2015-style numbers by Q2 2024. Will be a combination of Ukrainian refugees not wanting to return to Ukraine(even if they are able to) and subsequently being "permanently" settled in Europe and massive push by politicians to accept more immigrants in order to combat inflation/economy/pensions.

2. Massive labour bear market in tech industry in Europe/U.S. Tech workers are going to experience the same thing that happened to finance workers post-2008, i.e very hard work and ruthless competition for a good, but not proportional pay, with a miniscule but well publicized chance of striking it rich.

3. Musk will manage to stabilize Twitter but only after seriously overhauling the way internal economy functions. Will basically copy Instagram marketplace features as much as he can, allow people to sell stuff on Twitter properly and try to skim a bit off the top.
Ok, I wasn't aware of an alternative reimplementation in C: https://git.sr.ht/~lattis/muon/tree/master - bootstrapping without Python shouldn't be a problem then.
> Maybe GUIX since it had the benefit of learning from Nix and uses a more familiar (for HN anyway) Scheme, but I haven't looked at closely.

I’d be glad if sb could give a rough outline of the similarities and differences between Guix and NixOS for me who is not familiar with both of these systems but would like to learn more about them. I have a gut feeling that having reproducible builds/installations gives 90% of the benefits Docker provides.
This is something a lot of people has toyed with over the years, at last since Snow Crash, where federated 3D worlds are an important part of the plot.

At the time most people thought the open ecosystem of interconnected endpoints was destined to dominate the global information storage, because smtp had outcompeted proprietary messaging systems, and the url was looking to displace localized hypertext systems and the open web looked unstoppable.

That was before the reactionary trend where gmail overtook the smtp momentum and actors such as Facebook expanded their walled gardens by absorbing or straight up acquiring forums and smaller players. Facebook wasn't unique in their business model of locking up as much of the world's information as possible into their platform, but they were certainly the most successful.

That made it the more telling when Facebook made their pivot into assisted reality public, starting with naming their walled garden the metaverse, a term taken right out of the most visionary futurists of yesteryear! Let's see if the time has come for the pendulum to swing back. It'd certainly be most fitting if the term itself gave new life to the open interconnected ecosystems to show us again what's possible with permissionless innovation.
The section on naming is amateur. Names like `fred` or 'asdf' are too obviously meaningless and wouldn't even pass a code review.

You want names that do describe your code but badly. If your function reads policies from the DB, filters them and calculates some missing data, be sure to name the function 'readPolicies'. Nobody will look at that function when chasing a bug related to the filtering part!

You may want to spread it across a few changes to get plausible deniability. You may also "fix" the name by changing it to something hopelessly generic like `initializeState`.
Just came here to chime that I've been playing with mpv + fzf + notify-send, and as a result mpvc-tui has got now some cool fuzzy search + desktop notifications. I've included a bunch of screenshots showing the updates at: https://gmt4.github.io/mpvc/
Your comment only stands if we continue with the system we have.
I vaguely remember recovering a LastPass vault with email confirmation in ~2015, that would be a glaring security hole so maybe my memory is wrong, can anyone confirm that I’m totally wrong and that LastPass don’t have a back door into all accounts?
Ruby! What a gem.

Seriously, I am super excited about this new release and I will try to deploy it to my prod during Christmas.

Name any other tech that is 27 years old, that you feel excited about.
Regarding 3. There are a whole lot of people projecting their desires on this situation and letting their dislike of Elon completely cloud their judgement and reasoning capacity.

What is going on at Twitter is the Musk modus operandi and he is almost certainly loving his time there right now. He put it all on the line at PayPal, Tesla and now Twitter. It's just extremely public this time. You can say he failed plenty and Twitter is probably just going to turn into one of those. But the user engagement right now is higher than ever and there is no reason it can not be turned into a profitable business. Twitter crashing and burning is wishful thinking more than reality.
Let's not call stuff like burned vehicles and violence "strikes", it's rioting which can be caused by the same issues that lead to strikes but strikes themselves are non violent and the concept doesn't deserve to be tarred with the same brush making it seem like "massive strikes" automatically equate to violence.
It’s more secure than passwords the vast majority of people currently use.
I think the other problem is that when people are thinking up “random” words on their own, they aren’t pulling from the English dictionary. Common vocabulary is a much smaller set.
Feeder's great, I personally dont need anything more complicated
GPT can’t pick up the phone to find information. It can’t prioritise an obscure PDF from the government as an authoritative source. Instead, it just summarises the work of those who did.

So eventually, some people have to do the hard work of putting new information online. Then GPT will allow other people to effortlessly monetise that work.

Likewise, GPT can’t feel how it’s like to walk at 5AM in the Black Forest. It can only borrow from those who did, and explain it with another person’s writing style.

But it does enable people who have never seen or heard of the Black Forest to write about it and monetise the result.

What GPT can do is accelerate the sort of plagiarism that already plagues the internet.
Re “egress is free”.

Note that “If your monthly egress data transfer is greater than your active storage volume, then your storage use case is not a good fit for Wasabi’s free egress policy”. There are reports of bill shock from mastodon users as a result of the costs due to the policy.

Side rant: I have probably looked up more about this CLS (cumulative layout shift) thing that now I hate the word "just". "Just" do this, "just" do that. Bollocks. Tomorrow it will be something else. There are already at least three ways to handle image width and height. It is easy they say. Use the first approach if the image is an important of the main subject of the page. Use the second approach if the image is purely decorative and not an integral to the main subject of the page. Use the third approach if you are an idiot (I made this part up because I forgot what the third one was for).

I see this website does not have width and height in all of its images.
For example, in the image below, the author clearly knows the dimensions of the image are 1000px x 743px.
However, they didn't include the dimensions and the CLS is green under 0.1 (0.087 mobile and 0.045 desktop in my test [pagespeed]).

I opened developer tools in my firefox nightly browser, set throttling to GPRS, and disabled cache in my network tab and I reloaded the page.

I clearly see text push down as screenshots appear.
So do width and height / aspect ratio not matter any more (did they ever)?
I absolutely hate feeling like an idiot because I can't keep up with what matters and what does not.

Oh I would agree. Luckily we had dual income and hired a nanny 5 days a week from 8-4. Otherwise would have been impossible (at the time we lived far from family).
I'm not 100% pro UBI. But do you feel the current model/system is sustainable?
yes i initially was a bit of skeptical of the quality of content AI can produce but then I tried ChatGPT and it blew my mind. I find myself using it regularly now.
Pumped hydro also works if you have water at all, which my country doesn’t. So, some kind of new molten-salt reactor which doesn’t need water for cooling and can be built in the desert could work very well for us.
Yes I am living in Madagascar for at least the next 4 years. I'd gladly chat with anyone that can help me anytime. My e-mail is on my profile page.
That definitely exists.
But I think there's more people who'd prefer to work less hours (and keep their current salary) than people who simply want to stay in the office more.
I've been involved in some big public sector projects and it indeed went like this, but I'd say most of the blame was on the government.

The tender requirements were written by a general tender-writing team of the government.

We only got to meet the actual users of the software-to-build after we'd won the tender. Apparently what was in the tender was a complete mismatch with what the actual users wanted (as far as they actually knew what they wanted).

What the users wanted didn't matter, because payment was based on checking off all tender requirements. Oh, one of the tender requirements was "all business logic needs to be configurable by the users" and more gems like that.
I just want to add gelatine, NAD and vitamin b complex, and super mushroom complex to the list of supplements.

Such an offensively bad take. As a bi person and general LGBTQ+ ally, and left winger, I assure you we hope for violence against us to disappear entirely. Thankfully most right wingers also agree, but of the people who do lick their lips at the prospect of violence against gay people they're pretty much entirely right wing. But regardless of political orientation, the only people who don't find such events to be horrible and unnecessary are assholes first and foremost.

Marquee and blink are fun. Any site that removes them for the sake of accessibility is killing the whole idea of nostalgia and a 90s vibe.

Go out in the world. There is marquee and blinking text everywhere, on billboards, ads, and marquees. Put real life things on the web isn’t a crime.
There is usually a higher chance of finding the song your looking for on Spotify. Bands rarely put their songs that don't have a video yet on youtube. Then you have to rely on somebody else to upload a stolen version of it and hope the quality isn't bat.

I don't open youtube links to songs anymore. Chances are that the person who's sending you the link, the same one who won't bother to pay $11 to listen to music in good quality, isn't sending you a link to the official bands/labels channel, and the song is in bad quality. When you get a spotify link, you know you get good quality and the artist gets paid for your listen.
I'll take that bet. How much?
