Collisions are extremely unlikely. You will know if a collision occurred if the answer is rejected. If that happens you can tweak the hash algorithm and try again. This would allow saving coordinates outside of the [-1000, 30000] range.

I think it would be easier to reason about because,

1. KISS: You don't need to verify the encoding code is correct.

2. YAGNI: The program doesn't require reading the coordinates back out, so the program should not store the coordinates in a format that can do that.
That seems like a you problem. Do you have a custom DNS or something set?

I want to learn/build low level software with other people but I don't know any
I'm new to software engineering. I took a couple of CS classes and did enough Leetcode to get a job. I got bored in my first team and moved to a team working on low level networking software for high performance computing. I work remotely. I love the team. I love the projects. But there's a lot that I don't know.

I have a PhD in applied physics. All I used during grad school was Python and MATLAB (yes, MATLAB).

I barely know enough Linux to scrape by at my current job. I don't know why data sometimes has to be aligned to cache lines or what cache lines even are.

I try to learn these things in my spare time but it's a real struggle. It's so easy to just watch TV or scroll reddit instead of reading a 300 page book on Linux.

It was so much easier in school when I was surrounded by amazing people who all wanted to learn. I don't know where to find such people. I've tried going to a lot of networking events to meet CS grads but I haven't found anyone who's interested in the nitty gritty details of Linux. Or in optimizing some C code as much as possible.

I don't know how to meet those people. Any ideas?
"Hand drawn" is a huge misnomer there - it wouldn't be hand drawn at all, that's the point.
Looks like the tires causes them to rotate, they don't have motors. So if they aren't aligned and the chains can't get under the under the tires, then they won't spin and hit the undercarriage.
Show HN: Thread-safe, a simple tool for saving your favorite Twitter threads
Hey Everyone,

Happy new year! I want to share a CLI tool I built for saving a local copy of any Twitter thread. It's called thread-safe and it's designed to do just that - keep your favorite threads safe on your local machine. This way you never have to worry that they might one day just disappear...

More seriously, I wanted a simple way to save threads of interest _without_ having to use a third-party app that needs access to my Twitter account (or vice-versa) and that forces me to reply to the thread to "unroll" or otherwise save a copy.

thread-safe generates an HTML file containing all of a thread's contents including each tweet's text, links, and media attachments (images and videos). The HTML file, all attachments, and a JSON data file are saved to the local filesystem and the HTML can be used to display the thread locally in a browser at any time.

By using a dedicated directory for all generated files, thread-safe can be used to maintain a local library of saved threads that can easily be searched using standard commandline tooling like (rip)grep, fzf, fd, and any other awesome tool of your choice.

I built thread-safe because I often find myself saving links to informative threads to try to preserve the author's content. This is exactly the use case that thread-safe addresses: generating local copies of these single-authored, consecutive series of informative tweets. Notably, thread-safe intentionally does not save the comments or discussion from other users that follow as its focus is on the saving the author's content.

I hope you might find it useful and I'd love to take any feedback or suggestions that might come to mind!

I don't understand how that's possible. I don't know of any lakes or rivers or aquifers larger enough to provide water to almost 40 million people in California.
Surely the burden of proof should be on the side making the claim?
Possibly the opposite if they can be dis-engaged easily on sections without snow, where drivers would otherwise keep chains on
I definitely was able to use some external clues from the videos even though they try to blur the hints. I would not necessarily guess Armenian from Turkish immediately but I am sure able to differentiate between Latin derived Turkish script on the screen and Armenian script.

> So you’re saying that to use crypto properly, I have to secure a physical object that grants irrevocable ownership of my wealth? That sounds bad.

Yeah, that's how most things work in the physical world. If you want to secure a widget, then you need to "secure a physical object that grants irrevocable ownership" of it. Cryptocurrencies improve on this slightly by allowing you set up multisignature schemes, so you can get redundancy in the event of a loss.

>Is there a way I can get my crypto held my an institution with SIPC insurance, the way I hold stocks at a brokerage, so I can outsource this issue to someone else who is backed by a government guarantee?

If you want government guarantees, crypto might not be right for you.
> never had to watch independent sites and projects get absorbed into Reddit and its abhorrent community

That’s not how Reddit works. Different people use different subreddits, there is no “community”.

The default subreddits have the opposite problem; they are so popular there is no “community” because the users are everyone on earth. You’re pretty much just saying you don’t like “everyone on earth”.

Which is fair because they’re quite bad at posting; that’s why AskReddit’s #1 post is, every week, yet another gender war question/sex question like “men, what do you think about women’s armpits?” or something.
> in a different substance

but there's no such a substance in empty vacuum. If the speed was enough to generate gravitational waves somehow, and that gravitational wave is strong enough to disturb macro objects like the earth, we'd be a bit dead i suppose.

The disturbances of spacetime like the alcubierre warp is still theoretical - requires things like negative energy?!
Why is it a problem that it's not in sun-synchronous orbit? That just means that only a fraction will be usable at any given time? It seems like they have massive redundancy to make up for the lack of specialization?

NLP is going to have this problem for a long time. Obviously most original research is done by Americans in English. There are really only valid training sets for languages that NLP researchers or engineers speak.

In the U.K., owners of televisions receiving broadcast signals (and now VoD) are required to pay for an annual license. The enforcement of this is mostly through sending letters, but there are also TV Detector Vans [0] which work in a similar way to TEMPEST — or at least, that's allegedly how they work because there's some debate about whether they really exist or if they're just a PR tactic.

They look like they would improve traction while moving, but when braking I could see the chains slipping out from under the tires letting the vehicle slide. Not fun on icy roads.

Ask HN: How do you choose your projects?
Like a lot of people I have a bunch of ideas for projects to work on, and I often flick between them as my interest in them waxes and wanes.

I want to try and focus on a single project until completion but finding it difficult to choose a particular one.

I'm thinking about using a matrix of categories such as potential income, desire, domain knowledge, ongoing expenses to determine which project to start on to try to strike a balance between keeping my interest in the project ongoing enough to complete the work and the potential for a successful project.

I'm defining successful as either generation of income, or profile-raising - which could lead to generation of income through employment opportunities.

how do you pick which projects to work on, and the one's that have been completed was the driver monetary or domain interest, or something else?

thanks
One of my best bang-for-the-buck purchases was a Casio Waveceptor watch with a hybrid clock face.

The watch uses the WWVB signal for nightly syncing. However, living on the East Coast means syncing is very dependent on day-to-day atmospheric propagation. When I visit more inland, it works great.

The watch face is solar powered, so I’ve never had to change the battery.

It has since been retired after 8 years of use for an Apple Watch, but I think fondly of the mighty job it did.
The concept of “similar” is AI-complete (ie, only you knows what seems acceptably similar to you), so basically, no.

You can force a model to generate nearly the same actual pixels with DreamBooth, which can be interesting for putting people’s faces in a picture, but otherwise I’d call it overfitting.

I would take it even farther and claim that very little in experimental psychology / sociology has any value whatsoever. Google the top papers of all time in psychology and its either been formally debunked (Stanford prison experiment) or it has no applicable impact on society.

Using computers to parse statistical data is interesting and can reveal truths about society. Trying to correlate the delay between eating a marshmellow as a child and income as an adult is ridiculous, yet collectively we have spent untold money and time on tenured professors, conferences, papers, and pop psychology books about such things. Another example is Power Posing. How Amy Cuddy still gets employment is a mystery.
As long as the code he submits is correct, I don't see any issues.
Since you would be learning from another AI and not humans, there would be much less variation in the way words are pronounced and you would have a lot more data.

I think raw DSA has its place but shouldn't be 100% LC style: too isolated and abstract.

You can probably learn more by wrapping it as a tiny 'project' note: not a take home -- just a DSA/LC style 'problem' diguised inside a git repo. I'd rather see 2Sum with a Cargo.toml in a repo, seeing them scaffold this in the lang of their choice, or within an existing codebase.

Justifying the full end-to-end "how is this going to be deployed and maintained", "how would you test X" is a bit more informative than "please repeat Djikstra's algorithm into the void".

Of course, being good @ LC in isolation is still a proxy for (math) intelligence perhaps unpopular - but in SWE being smart isn't enough, you gotta grift, ship or hustle your way through; thinking is mostly optional.
> Why did you submit to their unlawful attempts at restricting your speech? Was it just ignorance of your rights?

>”No different to you pushing your narrative that everyone should submit to the unlawful whims of employers.”

no my point that Tesla and elon singled out because media hunt against him. my point that this has been abused and broken for decades, as i told you in me examples. media does not care. suddenly they talk about company breaking law as if they care about justice. Lol

for reasons you respond in bad faith..have unproductive discussion and on purpose or from arrogant misrepresent what i say and argue strawmans.

if you has issue with elon or Tesla, fine. amazes me how social justice people like you do this virtue signaling on behalf of laborers,poor (I was one through 1990 and 2000s) but it about you and your agenda not do with helping others or law
Not OP, but I infer that "writing instructions" equates to a lot of basic scripting - change the colour of that button, show a calendar, trigger that animation, send data to the validation script and display an X or a tick depending. As differentiated from, or opposed to, writing complex applications that require thought, design and awareness of best practice.

There is always a new layer of abstraction available when it comes to building your own thing. You can still build a radio from a rusty razorblade but nowadays, building your own radio means buying a simple rtlsdr and setting up your own modem in gnuradio. The added layers of abstraction make it easier to do more with less time and effort. You can even design your own SDR but you'll still be buying VCOs and FPGAs since it's not really possible to do it with discretes, let alone homemade discretes. The economy of scale has greatly reduced the cost of using more advanced components. Someone could build a similar security system using all off the shelf wireless sensors without making a single solder joint. The challenge for a lot of DIY projects now involves the software, whether that means writing your own or hooking up various applications and services. Sure, you could build your own microcontroller board to talk to the sensors but that's a lot of effort you could instead apply to the software side of things.
You don’t need mono anymore as .NET 5 onwards (.NET Core previously) is cross platform.

For deployments you can build self-contained which includes the bits required to run.

So for example I’m building a little browser game in my spare time. It’s a web app and a service. So 2 components. They are deployed to (ubuntu server cos I’m waiting for Amazon linux 202# to release) which does not have the .NET runtime installed. It’s used the built in kestrel server to accept web requests. So no nginx or Apache or anything. Tho I would prob add nginx if the server was public facing but since everything goes via a load balancer I don’t bother.
I'm not sure the methodology as a whole makes any sense, even with the prediction overfit aside.

The Y axis is the mean score of the team, but that score is not independent from the opposing team.

It means that it does not refute the hypothesis that sparse top talents in a team happen at low level games, where the top talents make a huge difference.

When reaching higher level games by acquiring new top talents, the playing field is more leveled, and the scores will even out.

To remove that effect, you would need to select games where a team score does not depend on the opposing team score. Or add a new dimension to the regression which is the opposing teams top talent %.

TLDR: if you put Michael Jordan in an amateur team, he will overperform and crank up the team score. If you then add 5 other pro players to the team, you'll enter the NBA. Your team will perform better, even though your number of points may decrease, as other teams are closer to your elite teams level.

I'm thinking more like programmers working at the IRS or SSI or something like that, where you have million line long decades old codebases. Not anything that Google or Amazon would write. Applying a DI framework right from the start may actually be a best practice--that allows the codebase to evolve under the next 10 years of contract programmers--instead of just being the YAGNI that it would to anyone in the tech sector.

Although you might say that microservices are like a distributed DI framework that would let you rewrite or mock components provided that the rewrite/mock adheres to the API framework (curiously, I've actually seen that used in tests with a quick and dirty in-memory sequential unauthenticated server used for testing clients where the server passed the same API test suite as the real server).

I agree - I give everyone multiple chances. But I’m saying give up at a certain point. Some people just ain’t worth bothering because you’ll never make meaningful progress in the time you have.

Time is finite. Don’t waste it.
That's a really solid approach, as much as OO architecture in excess (Java) is grim I think it has a lot of merit for testing as hopefully your code is already organized to benefit from a lil fuzz.

I just want to note here that Samsung refrigerators and dishwashers are absolute shit and should be avoided like the plague. Also, their stoves are pretty crap, too, with a self-clean option that destroys the motherboard and blowers.

You'll have a hard time convincing me that their design and manufacturing issues are not endemic across their entire company. Fish rots from the head, etc.

I know you were making a reference to c19. Yes, being kept in solitary confinement while you suffocate to death by order of the state would be a miserable way to go (tax extracted and left in an "exit room").

Here in NZ the state forced an elderly man to watch from the roadside as his wife was buried but politicians were allowed to go swimming during the same lock down... Disgusting.
Your argument doesn't negate the point though...
I agree. What used to be called Build vs. Buy decision usually involved a calculation of costs. There are lifetime costs involved in both choices. If a dev team chose to use a FOSS library/product (pr even a commercial 3rd party library), that analysis isnt complete without an assessment of practices needed for maintaining it over the entire lifecycle of the product they are building.

On the oft cited example of the FOSS developer who decided to delete their library/introduce a deliberate bug, the teams that were impacted had missed the step of validating and testing every minor version in their integration test environment.

They should have also checked in the sources of all their dependencies to ensure a reproducible reliable build. If it was a commercial 3rd party library, it was quite common some decades ago for the customer to pay additional to secure the source code in software escrow, to protect against the smaller supplier shutting down/going out of business. FOSS gave a better alternative by sharing sourcecode freely so that this mechanism of paid software escrow becomes redundant and the user can directly use the source for any purpose they see fit.

Failing to adopt these basics and complaining about what an independent developer should/shouldn't do sounds lazy.

Fundamentally, this boils down to trust in the underlying assets and degradation of serious engineering practices. There are no easy shortcuts.
The idea of bytecode dates back to mid-60s. It was already widespread in the 70s because it was a common way to implement Pascal in particular.
To be fair, even if he was only paying $5 a month, if there was a tiny chance that the compromise was done by an employee, any reasonable provider would be all over it.
Also look at the failure time and make sure you are sleeping correctly when not reading. esphome has this implemented and it is really great, it wakes up 10 seconds early, starts the fan/airflow, then takes the reading, then sleeps (for 50 seconds) in my case where I want to sample every 1 minute. Without this the lifetime of the sensor is around 1 or 1.5 years of continuous use if I recall correctly.
Yup, I didn't even have listen to most of them, just looked at the text available.
