Is anyone familiar with any Rust language data libraries for data engineering? My experience with Rust is it's too low level and verbose to be productive at reshaping and cleaning data.
Would be nice to record a video of the face of the sleeper.

Because it's possible that they had a look at the clock tens of times while still half-sleeping, only for the last one to trigger a wake up (and the only time remembered).

You would because you can without a subscription. If no code tools were free we might see different uses, but I really can't see people who can code paying for tools like this.
I typically use a hammer. But as the old saying goes, when all you've got is a hammer, everything looks like a nut.
At work, I only rebooted my laptop for updates, otherwise I just let it sleep.

On the server, especially when running in a VM, Windows can achieve impressive uptime, I've seen one NT 4.0 server with over 5 years without a reboot.

These days, the question is if you want to keep a server up for that long just because you can. When I worked as a Windows admin, I usually rebooted the servers after installing updates.
In addition, they've started collecting data _around_ gmail. You cannot sign up without a phone number now. They can absolutely do what they want with that phone number without breaking their promise to use your email for advertising.

I think the article has a point, but is overselling it as bigger than it actually is.
That should be put in the “pro” column when judging the CDC’s actions then?
But you have to remember a million passwords, or have a password manager remember them for you. (You don't just use the same password everywhere, right?) You could do the same with user names. Sites that use your email address as a login credential and also display your username to the public already separate the two, so there's no additional complexity there.
Irish immigrant descendants had also intermingled with the Choctaw, so now there are tribe members of Irish ancestry.

This could be great, but the first ten results it gives me are accounts I already follow.

So that's annoying, certainly sub-optimal, bordering on useless.

Yes, it's been opened as an issue.
I'd bet good money Musk is no more entangled in those countries than any other big Corp or billionaire. Everyone has Chinese suppliers and Saudi investors.
And conveniently, the solution is the editor that the author has already invested a lot of time into.

Well of course it's free will to avoid detention by morality police.
I notice similar in my case and case of my friends (born between 1985-1990).

I've seen fair share of new services and social networks being branded as "Facebook killer" in last 10 years but for me group texting was the thing that replaced the main use case of Facebook and Instagram - sharing important/funny/interesting moments and stuff with friends and family.

Back in the day I could use IRC or some messengers for this, but Facebook was the first to enable this at scale. Afterwards messaging apps (Viber in case of my country but I guess Telegram/WhatsApp for the rest of the world) made this more convenient but also more intimate/rewarding.

We don't have mutes or bans in our group texts. Discussions, even political ones, don't blow up like on Twitter. There's less incentive for things to go crazy when you're exchaning intersting/important stuff with people you know and care about.

Also, before Facebook I created and administreted phpBB forum for the same group of friends. We were in late teens, early 20s at that point so the main topics were "What are you listening too?", "What are you drinking tonight?", "How was Saturday night for you" (but also topics around literature, comic books, movies, video games). I get similar vibes from our group texts that I had on that forum more than 15 years ago.
Ask HN: Movie/Documentary Recommendations?
I normally see people asking for book recommendations, but I was wondering if there where any new or old movie/documentary recommendations.

I don't mind if its an old movie/documentary (I just watched North by Northwest(1959) and I liked it)

My movie/documentary recommendations are here https://letterboxd.com/as1ndu/lists/

How can one properly benchmark these optimizations?

Obviously, an import aspect is time (the faster the better). Another one is peak heap usage. Maybe allocation fragmentation and garbage collection times may be relevant for some scenarios.

I've recently had an urge to build a library that reduces the amount of string concatenations for scenarios where the final string is anyways written to a character stream (Writer), etc: https://github.com/kohlschutter/stringhold

I have started to benchmark it, and while I seem to get promising results, I want to make sure that it actually does better than what Java provides these days. Any ideas?
Freedom of choosing what you wear doesn't mean freedom from consequences (to paraphrase the very popular, and idiotic, phrase about free speech that some people tend to use).
Right, the point of the thought experiment is to inject malicious code only in cases where someone is piping directly to bash without reading it, and not in cases where they might have the opportunity to read it. So in that case you would not inject malicious code. That is correct for the exersize.
2632 is massive for info this sensitive.
The rest of your inference is unclear, and not directly supported by the passage you cite.
So they still don't know if masks work? Can we get a concrete answer on this at some point? It seems like this type of back and forth messaging is the problem. Maybe we should all apologize to people who questioned the need to wear masks if we still don't know whether or not they're effective.
I think if you have a "neat" and a "lax" person sharing the same home, then you could probably boost the "lax" person to "neat" by inviting guests, but simultaneously move the "neat" person to "obsessive" and so not help the overall situation since they'll still disagree.
Will give it a thought, thanks for your comment.
You do recall the extreme levels of misinformation that were present during 2020, right? Hospitals running out of medical equipment while people were stocking up and re-selling them? Civil War was a concern, at least in my part of the country. We had police manning the entrances to stores like Walmart and Academy sports because they couldn’t let more than a few people in at a time, and armed idiots were trying to force their way in to prove it was all a scam to control our brains.
They're all capable of attempting to justify their actions, but rarely is that justification sound. "Justification" here means a deductive argument from principles, sort of like what you'd find in a court of law based on except based on ethical rather than legal principles.
Hell, I’m half as old as those customers and the date-picker is still annoying AF for birthdays or really anything that’s not this month. It’s just a shit design, likely created by some PM who couldn’t think beyond their weekly work meetings.

Any recommendations for servers focusing on topics like AI-ML/Python/Math,probability, statistics?
yeah, if you zone out on a trail ride, you're getting dumped off the bike very quickly. For me, its the opposite, I find that just focusing on the trail (now and next) has the same mental effect.
Yes, Qt itself is a C++ library. AshamedCaptain was talking about the plugin interface though which is just dynamically loadable modules for Qt applications. I looked it up and those things export C functions that return the C++ objects and meta-object system data.
Automating Meeting Summaaries
Hello fellow hackers!

My friend and I are working on a tool to automatically create meeting summaries using artificial intelligence! This service is designed to help you remember all of your past meetings, share context, and be fully focused during meetings instead of taking notes.

We are just getting started and would really appreciate your feedback! Is this something that could be useful for you? What should we focus on and improve to make it a great productivity tool for you?

Here is the website you want to check it out! https://meetsummary.com/

Thank you,

So when it comes to broad social issues that are not being dealt with well, I'm on side with you 100%. However, the idea that somehow democrats or 'the left' is solely or even mostly responsible is nuts. Not saying they don't take any blame, but that the right is in no way free of sin.

Immigration problems for example is a long standing issue going back many decades and multiple changes in administrations. Both sides of the isle may have different talking points about it, but they don't do much substantive change once in power (the changes they do make are mostly theatre). This is because the elites on both sides like the status quo. They both profit from immigrant labor whether legally in the form of h1 visas for tech workers like twitter, or the illegal immigrants that work in agriculture like Tyson foods. Immigrant labor can be more fully exploited than citizen labor - which is the goal.

Also speaking of evil, I happen to think the Trump admin policy of separating young immigrant children from their parents falls in that category. Where the children were then also exposed to the unchecked abuses of CBP personnel. Horrific and dehumanizing.

> You don't want media aligned with ANY IDEOLOGICAL SIDE and, worse, actively acting to protect and mold the narrative in their favor.

This goes back to the original thread. My two comments about this is that unbiased media can't and won't exist any more than unbiased HN commenters (you and me included). And, even if it did and the unbiased truth happens to counter the narrative of a given side, then that side would still accuse it of being biased! The second is that if the actual goal is to criticize political alignment of media than you must also do the same of right media as well. Fox News certainly has some guilt in "actively acting to protect and mold the narrative in their favor", call them out on it too. If you think only the left leaning media needs to change, but the right is doing fine, then you what you're actually asking for is more ideological uniformity.
The appeal is it's hackable. Top to bottom. Pretty sure VScode is too but you can literally just write functions and get vim to do the things you want it to.
I assume they are. Of course I assume if it’s not end to end encrypted it’s not private and is being read or scanned by someone.
I think you're right about that. It's a fundamental aspect of how biological systems tend to be structured.

Perhaps symmetry is even an indication that a particular structure is "cheap" in some sense. A less symmetric structure might require more information to store in the DNA, and therefore require longer evolution. If a symmetrical structure does the job as well as a more complicated structure, it's likely the simpler structure will prevail.

In my experience people tend to find also non-biological symmetrical / self-similar structures striking. Something about this kind of simplicity triggers our sensory systems. It's probably more bug than feature. But it might be relevant that symmetry of biological systems often indicate health. Unhealthy biological systems are less structured, less symmetrical, and identifying sickness is evolutionary advantageous.
I think the biggest factor is just a much larger overall number of packages in the ecosystem. If there are, on average, 20 popular packages for solving a given problem instead of 3, you end up with exponentially more transitive dependencies.
How about some interesting new theories of Computer Science, so we have something more than plug-and-chugging cottage-type-systems to do with these theorem provers?

Glad we're all nice to each other in this corner of the web!
I think subscriptions are part of the problem. I personally compensate artists with a one time payment on Bandcamp, download permanent files to my NAS, and replicate them in devices I use for music.

I don’t want recurring payments.
VScode vim emulation is great!

But when you just want to fire an editor to do a quick change, vim is your friend. It’s also reliably present on almost any server you’ll ssh into
Pretty sure this study was put out to see if his remarks had any merit at all.
> feeling of helplessness when things are beyond one’s control

Not to get philosophical, but Stoicism (and many philosophies) go over this. Man's Search for Meaning is an example of the importance of how one reacts in the face of things beyond their control.
I've used Vim since I first managed to figure out a way to get a shell on the heavily controlled school Unix network. (Well, it was Vi initially).

It was always my editor of choice when SSHing into a box over dodgy dial-up for the very obvious reasons, a few keystrokes could be immensely powerful, and they're easy to transmit.

But I've never felt the urge to run Vim bindings in my IDE, or my browser. But for working on a file over SSH? Vim all the way.

Different tools for different situations.
Implementing the hot path in e.g. C, compiling it into a lib an calling it using e.g. ctypes is very little effort and can yield dramatic runtime improvements / reduced bill. It's been an excellent use of my time, at least.

I'd recommend using Numba first, though.
> the "new" face (including Fluepke, Lilith) make them look inexperienced, naive, loud

This characteristic can describe most of young human beings and people listed above are young human beings. It's not reasonable to expect "fresh blood" in the scene to be experienced, young and worldly at the same time. When it comes to "being loud" - could also be attributed to the age but being "social media native" and being able to use it as a tool also is an useful (and potentialy powerful) skill
Mastodon seems vulnerable to ideological splitting where you get two parallel worlds that don't talk to each other. E.g. one that believes that transwomen aren't women and that Africans are less intelligent and one that doesn't.

I’ve seen that, but I’m ok with it. I just assume it’s much easier to parse/check the entry if there’s a full 8 digits (mmddyyyy).
I recently discovered that they have their own phone numbers, and you can ring them up
I’ve tried the jupytext approach and had problems when files get out of sync (which inevitably happens). So far, my best Jupyter/vim solutions are either to use a jupyter extension that enables vim bindings or use jupyter in vscode with vim emulation
Also explains why insufficient sleep makes people vulnerable to getting sick. Cortisol is a potent immunosuppressant. With insufficient sleep, it stays elevated
Correct, we still do not really know whether masks at a population level tend to reduce transmission. A big, big part of the problem is that it’s very hard to know how many people are wearing masks, how consistently, whether they change their behavior when they do, etc etc.

What we probably know is that if 100% of the population wore masks 100% correctly 100% of the time and kept 100% of their prior behavior, it would probably reduce transmission more than 0% for some pathogens.

This is another way of saying, “we don’t really know,” and it gives you an idea of why it’s hard to figure it out.

The ambush on “masks don’t work” was because it seems almost certainly the case that masks don’t hurt, and it’s likely the case that if masks have any benefit, that benefit will be proportional to levels of compliance, so if we get to choose between levels of compliance, higher is probably better.

My personal view is that after half the population came to view “no masks” as a part of their political identity, the overall pushiness on masks probably netted out to negative, but this is not blame I can assign to CDC et al.

> Multiple independent investigations showed that the laptop story was accurate.

This is not true, at best it is conflating some truths (copies of a hard drive exist and have some actual emails / pictures, a laptop was provided to the FBI) with lies (every file on the laptop is verified to belong to Hunter Biden! The laptop proves Joe Biden worked with his son in corrupt deals!).

What they've shown is that there was a hard drive, heavily manipulated by multiple parties, that eventually made their ways to law enforcement. Those hard drives to not show what most cons are pushing (that Joe Biden is corrupt), they do show Hunter Biden had a lot of sex and did a lot of drugs.

If you're interested in digging into this story with an open mind, including diving into the "soft corruption" of Hunter Biden's activities (similar to other rich, connected kids, e.g. Don Jr, way less corrupt than Jared and Ivanka gaining WH influence), watch this rundown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDcIludbsUw. It is long but worth it, and examines the issue from multiple angles.
It's going in the right direction, finally, people are starting to stand up.
There is definitely a difference of the types of information shared.

Misinformation - False information that is spread regardless of intent to mislead.

Disinformation - False information that is spread with intent to mislead.

Misinformation can fall in the category of "Bullshit" quite often. There's no regard for the truth. Rather only a care that individuals are persuaded. This lack of respect I believe is the core problem these articles are trying to discuss.

This is the post-truth politics world we live in. Encouraged truth-telling, fact checking, not reopening settled debates, pressure big tech to combat disinformation(note the word used here, not misinformation), etc.

“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes” - Unknown

If big tech has to combat disinformation. Big media should be held accountable to correct earlier misinformation. Rather than the "all or nothing" approach we see today until the next developing story makes headlines years later.

I feel proud as a human to see these brave women standing up for their rights and wish them and their fellow countrypeople all of the success with no bloodshed. It's time we move out of the age of religious compulsion on all fronts.

Maybe you'll like 1Writer for iOS. It lists files including the line you search for, and it supports the "YYYY-MM-DD Note title" syntax mentioned in the commment above. So you can point the app to the folder where you store your plaintext files.
ABI stability between C++ libraries and applications built with the same compiler, sure. In other words, the only code that touches C++ code is other C++ code.
It would be awesome to see that list you have!
How many hours am I going to spend making my text editor work with this new problem? How long would it take to learn the new tool sufficiently to be reasonably effective?

I always remember a coworker who was determined to use Emacs on our Java codebase. He spent three months trying to get functionality equivalent to 2010 Eclipse (I was one of the IDEA hipsters in the company back then), and failed. Hard.

I always thought that in 3 months,n if he'd applied that effort to Eclipse, he'd probably be contributing patches to it.
That's an interesting deflection, considering there have been 10+ "twitter file" drops and nothing of import has come from them. The closest to the 1st amendment complaints we've seen is the fact that the trump WH reached out to Twitter to do things and Twitter complied.

That said, for some reason most folks are focused on the Biden campaign doing the same (to get Twitter to remove pictures of Hunter's penis from the internet).

Arresting IT Administrators
This is one way of ensuring that IT keeps up with patches.
One interesting aspect of these arguments is that people often attribute the spread of anti-vaccine views to social media platforms like Twitter, rather than acknowledging the role of government and media in promoting false narratives that have contributed to widespread mistrust in mainstream institutions. While I personally believe that homeopathy is completely baseless, I can understand why someone who has witnessed the mishandling of the pandemic might lose faith in the objectivity of science and medicine. I used to work at major scientific publisher and was as "pro science" as could be, and I am also extremely disillusioned by the last 2 years.
It depends on the quality of the meetings. My last job I hated them for all the reasons you said. My current job they are enjoyable and productive. That's because the agenda is a "living" document that anyone can edit during the week, and the meetings stop when we've nothing left to discuss or need to get back to work
Ask HN: What happened to Magic, the text-message concierge?
Back in 2015, there was a text-message service called Magic where, in principle, you could ask it to do anything. They'd reply with a price, and if it was acceptable, they'd make it happen.

Did Magic die? Was it absorbed into another corporate entity?
