There seem to be a few projects that try to be a live, collaborative git. Perhaps it’s just me, but I don’t necessarily think I’d want this for my main system. Maybe a short term collaboration/pair programming session, but not in general. I like how git is not immediate. I like that I can take time before sharing my code to clean it up. The issues that a tool like this purports to solve are not issues to me. Live collaboration is a great idea, but maybe not as a version control system. But hey if other people get use out of it, why not!
Yes, I lost a key 6 months ago and removed it from my Google account. I have multiple other U2F keys also registered.
Digested alive is what I meant.
The state controlling reproduction is the alarming bit for me, closely followed by the surveillance creepiness Google enables.
I would have fussed going from Mercurial to git. Mercurial is arguably superior, much like Fossil, but unfortunately mindshare / marketshare is everything.

The layering model of merging in both those systems is superior to the standard git merge (rebase is close though). they also made cherry picking a trivial operation compared to git
Vaulting the seeds is fine - IMO.

They aren't accessed often, are not used during your normal login flow, and provide you a recovery mechanism that actually works.

Yes - you should store them as securely as you can, but I'd say this is better than disabling 2fa entirely, which seems like the other sane approach.
I cannot access the Two Factor authentication page at all - it is when attempting to access that page that I'm forced to log in again and provide a 2FA code.
Bio tires would be great, but the more immediate, easy and efficient solution is public transport investment to reduce car use.

Is this Hacker News material? How to write and distribute great content
“Is this Hackernews material?” <= This is the question I ask when reviewing posts from colleagues and peers. It’s not a formula to get to the Hackernews’ front page no matter what. It’s about setting the bar high for one self.

In this post:

1. Why we should care about Hackernews and putting our work out there (in this case, in a written form)

2. How, as an Eng Manager, you can help set that culture and end the excuses (“I have no time”)

3. How to make your content appealing, and a mental framework I use to tell a story

I'm also offering a short and free guide on writing and distributing "Hackernews material", for Eng Managers and Software Engineers [1]

I didn't record the conversations, but I'm pretty sure that that wasn't the case. I got the impression that they, at least initially, were trying to work with me.

I mean, these things happen, I'm a little annoyed at myself but I just gotta keep moving forward.
Is there any information as to what they violated that is resulting in the fine? This article is particularly sparse on details.
This sort of contradiction by infinite descent is not uncommon: e.g. the textbook proofs of Fermat’s last theorem for n = 3 and 4, or the proof that a periodic crystal lattice can only have symmetry axes of order {1,2,3,4,6}.

The America trap: Why our enemies often underestimate us
20 feels like an exaggeration, but there are more than 20 Matrix bridges, so maybe I'm just less spread out than some. I've been using Telegram, Signal, Google Chat, and Discord so far, on a self-hosted server. It's not too hard to stand up, especially if you hang around here, and works a treat. Highly recommend if you want one app to message everyone from.
It also used to have a question "Are you a gunrunner", any computer person had to lie and answer "NO" to it. At the time, strong cryptographic algorithms on your laptop counted as a munition.
Great list! I want to call out John Stillwell's Reverse Mathematics as a fun and accessible introduction to the field.

If they acknowledge the issue and take the stuff, there’s now a record that Mr. Sharkweek’s realtor friend surrendered a bag of heroin or whatever.

Only if they choose to make a report saying so. However, it's easier just to shrug instead of doing any paperwork or taking on any responsibility whatsoever, so that's the action they choose.
I've really enjoyed the Math Sorcerer's overview of various math books. Such a breath of topics and levels.
Looks like the white space on the right side is a perfect width for banner ads.
There is no silver bullet for growth. Some people need to actively seek to be more critical, others need to make that criticism more constructive, or be less harsh on themselves.

Have you considered seeing those lines less as the desirable inner monologue of the person, but rather as an exercise to shift that inner monologue to a more positive mindset ?
It's static, until a contractor ignores the post-it note on their monitor that says, "IMPORTANT: ALWAYS add an extra newline BEFORE saving the file".

Once that happens, you have to hope that your backups work - why bother having disaster recovery drills for a static system?

Once you realize that your backups are hosed, you may experience a creeping suspicion that software is never truly static when human operators are involved.
Thanks for responding!

I did find it a bit hard to understand how Jitsi Meet works with XMPP and documentation on that would make development much easier (finding the right events to listen to, for example). Understanding XMPP was a bit of a hurdle as well, but I found it rather easy to clear (just some effort) because the specification is very clear.

The hardest parts were really the Prosody bits. "Why does my plugin not load", "What the hell does this method return", "Which methods are even available", "So how the hell do I actually use this WebSockets plugin now" - stuff like that.

I don't remember the specifics very well because I did it a while ago, but few end-to-end tutorials with tips on finding the answers to my questions (where in the code do I have to look/what can I infer from it?) would likely have helped a lot.

This interaction may just encourage me to have a look again. I'll keep in touch this time, thank you for caring.
Affirmations may work for some but for me they were useless or probably negative. After reading "Think and Grow Rich" I did morning affirmations every day. I never felt anything positive from them but actually felt more and more like a fraud because I was constantly repeating stuff that wasn't true. And nothing ever changed.

Like all other self-help, give it a try and see how it works for you.We have vastly different personalities and life experience so don't expect that a thing that works for one person will work for everybody.

What would be the “me” if I were to clone myself 1:1? Would there be two “me”s? Or a the same old “me”, a single consciousness but two bodies?
That's completely false. Earlier, when first viewing a Wikipedia page today, I experienced the same (very) mild panic that typically accompanies visiting the mobile page by accident. A regression in the visual appeal of the layout, in its readability at a glance, and in the efficiency of its use of space. Earlier design could be considered "iconic", so this change is especially detrimental.
Appreciate the feedback! I used the same name for that project but this is actually a completely different project rewritten from scratch and open-source. I've been working on the general idea for a better VCS for some time so I've restarted around 6 times so far to get something that works. Not sure it will be too productive to continue the conversation here but feel free to reach out to me if you would like.
Ask HN: Tips for staying focused during dev cycle interruptions
We've all been there: waiting for brew, waiting for a CI pipeline, running the full integration suite, xcode doing anything at all.

What's your useful advice for staying "on task" when your dev cycle is peppered with 15-120 second interruptions?

Of course where possible we should pour effort into minimizing these interruptions but for this question I'm talking mental tricks etc.

The answer is always Elementary Number Theory by David Burton. I read this book since 7th grade.
I'm not sure what the need is for the fake confusion. People like these items because they enjoy the taste and/or they are familiar. It's not at all hard to understand.

I've been a vegetarian for well over two decades. Growing up I was always completely grossed out by the concept of meat, so I almost never ate it before I went vegetarian, and didn't AT ALL enjoy it when I did eat it. For many years I didn't want anything "meaty." It was still obvious why people would want meat analogues, even if I wasn't one of them. I don't believe that these "I don't get it" comments are in good faith.

Around 5 years ago I started dabbling in fake meat. Turns out enough time had passed that I got over the icky-ness of a "meaty" product. Now I really enjoy a large variety of fake meats even though there's ALSO a large variety of vegetarian dishes I enjoy.
Cooking oils when stir frying, obviously this isn't safe for that.
Isn’t this caused by the ionized air produced by the laser vaporizing the air molecules? The laser hitting the air produces ionized air along its path. Ionized air is conductive. The line of conductive ionized air brings down the lightning.
Could just as easily be a bias in reporting given the interest in other flight related issues lately. Previously unremarkable outages like this can suddenly become newsworthy if other current events seem to give them context. Once an issue is proven to draw clicks headlines will go back to that well any chance they get.
You could try Hugo.

It’s way past time this went to court to sort out. Congress has issued spending instructions, tax instructions and bond issuing instructions. They don’t add up.

Which means the balancing figure should be left at the Federal Reserve.

It needs to go to court to decide whether the Federal Reserve has the power to say “no” to a Congress mandated payment or whether it just has to suck it up and pay it anyway.

Oh I know; I think I came off as more somber than I intended to; I'm really not depressed about it or anything. I'm sure I'll find another decent job soon enough.

I appreciate the kind words though!
Do you know a good path or book that's suitable for that?

I've been using Professor Leonard's Youtube video series[1] mostly, along with some of those "workbook" type books by Chris McMullen, and a variety of books with titles like "1001 solved problems in $SUBJECT", "The Humongous Book of $SUBJECT problems", and the like. The nice thing about Professor Leonard is that he has videos on everything starting from pre-algebra, middle-school math, up through Differential Equations. Note that his diff-eq class isn't quite complete but he just announced he's about to start recording new videos to finish that, and he's also going to be starting a Linear Algebra sequence. And he's a great lecturer who does a really good job of explaining things and making them understandable.

I also use Khan Academy sometimes, and stuff on Youtube from The Math Sorcerer[2]. Oh, and of course there is 3blue1brown[3], whose videos are also useful. And for Linear Algebra I've been using Gilbert Strang's OCW videos[4] on Youtube.

FWIW, I've evolved the way I study math, and what I do now works for me, even though it's 100% not the way you'd ordinarily see suggested. That is, I watch math videos fairly passively and don't work problems at the same time and treat it like being in a class per-se. I used to do the thing of treating it like a class, pausing the video to work examples, and what-not, and that does work. But it's very slow and tedious.

Now, I just watch the videos, acknowledging that I won't absorb everything and that I also need to work problems for long-term retention. So now what I do is watch passively to a certain point (which I determine fairly subjectively) then I stop with the videos for a while, pick up a textbook or one of those "workbook" type books I mentioned earlier, and work problems for a while. Then I review the parts that I find myself struggling with. I'm also just now starting to add "creating Anki cards" as something I do during that second pass.

Once I start getting a decent Anki deck built up, I'll be reviewing that regularly as well to help build retention. I only create cards for things that seem amenable to rote memorization, and TBH, I'm still working on figuring out what things are best to include, and how to structure those cards. What I don't intend to do is include specific problems where all I'd be doing is memorizing the answer to a problem. So far it's just formulas and things are are very obvious candidates to be memorized, and "algorithm" things like the "chain rule" from calculus, and similar.

In my experience it is the opposite, being that I only practice veganism every other day, I'm always looking forward to my vegan days for the variety of whole veggies and beans and grains I "have" to eat on those days. Always satisfying.

Entirely untrue.
My approach to hosting with Got has been to make it easy and secure for users to host from any machine.

INET256 solves that problem nicely. If you have access to an INET256 network, then all you have to do is swap addresses and two Got instances can communicate.

Also, end-to-end encryption is table stakes. Any data that leaves the user needs to be encrypted in transit, and if it hangs around away from the user, at rest.

No I get the point, your point misses the opportunity cost of the land that was used to raise animal feed, it could be used to grow any number of other crops for human consumption. That is unless you are of the belief that humans have an innate need to consume beef specifically.
Wow, that's.. even worse than my experience.

It would probably work if you used the official browser, it's not a bad idea for the website to block webviews. But pretty funny that their app uses a webview which the service then blocks.
Impossible is also easier to cook with (for me). It can be difficult for either to cook burgers with if you don’t buy pre-formed patties. But Beyond seemed just a little more difficult. And gross. Uncooked Beyond was a little more gooey than Impossible.

Just from that regard, I could see Impossible performing better because it is easier to integrate into existing recipes. Don’t discount the contribution of cooks in this equation.
>Math always seemed a bit arbitrary to me.

That's because math is fundamentally arbitrary. This realization came to me late in life. Math was always presented as some aspect objective reality. However over time I've come to understand it as software for human brain. Using this math or that to describe something is often simply a matter of taste! Very similar to programming, in fact. Your study of history gives context to the question of utility different maths "packages" for certain problems, but does not invalidate your original impression.
It was spores in the novel. Characters would notice it growing in their hands and feet, then it was a matter of days and noting that could be done. Shivery.

The negative root is also a square root, but it isn't the root denoted by the radical symbol.

But anyway, when talking about THE nth root, we're almost always talking about the principal root.

The classic "Advanced Engineering Mathematics" by Erwin Kreyszig was absolutely 'good enough'. Maybe even more important - for me: it was one of the easiest books to follow and digest during my undergrad. See it as a solid base for other heavier/purer titles.

I can tell you that my pair of bike tires is now 13 000km old, still going strong, and weighs about 790g each. It may loose maybe 100 or 200g over it's lifetime, but unlikely that it's even that much. Worst case estimate so far would be 790g/13 000km, or 0.061g/km per wheel - under the assumption that the whole tire is consumed.
I agree. "fingerprints" should be changed to "digital fingerprints" to make it clear that literal, actual fingerprints are not going to google.
Time to repeal 2FA. I can't believe it's required for SOC2 type 2 compliance.
It can, but that's kind of the nature of anti-spam systems these days. Come in on a Tor IP with a randomly-generated burner e-mail with a Curl user-agent and you're gonna get blocked from almost anything that spammers have an interest in. Come in on the e-mail address, aged cookies, and a geolocation associated with your credit card for years and you're gonna be fine. Do things in the middle and expect some amount of false positives.
I also thought I was served the mobile site at first, but after using the new site a bit I actually quite like it. One of my longstanding complaints with the old design was that using the full width of the screen for text is very hard to read on a modern monitor, so I'm glad to see they narrowed it down a bit. I also really like the floating table of contents.
The Art of Problem Solving: https://artofproblemsolving.com/store/book/aops-vol1

Yes, it is targeted towards middle and high school students. Yes, I read it and (more importantly) worked through most of the problems in my mid-30's. It is great if, like me, you coasted/crammed through your early mathematics education and never felt like you dialed in the fundamentals. It is also great if, like me, you needed some pen-on-paper practice and did not know where to start.
I can say confidently that asking potential refugees--who were born and have lived in a refugee camp for their entire lives--if they intend to pirate software when they are in the US is hilarious to refugee officers, too. In some languages it takes a lot of explanation to even get to a yes or no.

It's exclusively asked as a, "turns out you lied, that's perjury" question to make deportation easier in criminal cases.

The system is in desperate need of some modernization, no argument there. The fact that there isn't a simple criticality filed with them that makes it easy to see what will actually impact flight planning (airspace closure / runway closure vs stupid chart updates) is insane.
That exact point and even company "fastmail" is discussed in the article.
The government has an interest in preventing corporations from being used to avoid taxes. For example: I donate $50,000 to Jfengel Charities LLC, whose sole purpose is to purchase a car and then allow me to use it. I write off that $50k on my taxes, and still get the use of the car. Nobody is defrauded, except the IRS.

So they limit tax-deductible corporations to certain categories that have some kind of benefit. They don't police it very closely, but if you come to their attention, they'll force you to pay taxes and possibly penalties.
TIL: There is 'old PEMDAS' and 'modern PEMDAS'
TIL: there is 'old PEMDAS' and 'modern PEMDAS' ...

The 2 things I found really interesting about this is:

1. They give vastly different interpretations
2. 'Modern' PEMDAS really appears to be a result of making it easier for calculators, programs, etc. to parse equations.

Does anyone know of any other instances like this, where long time, well known 'human' processes were changed to make it easier to 'automate' ? I don't mean stuff like moving from paper forms to electronic (eg EDI) but more that the core meaning was changed (eg PEMDAS) ?

EDIT: oh! Julia notebooks were the only system I found that seems to use the 'old' version. Wolfram Alpha and Google Search appear to use the 'Modern PEMDAS'
Sure it does, all the standard calls are universal, hell I wrote a _universal_ directory monitoring shell script. Try and do that with bash on windows/linux/osx.
My GH Pages build failed after a 10 minute timeout.
TIL modulo wrapping for unsigned ints is actually in the standard, I could have sworn it was implementation defined (as opposed to signed wrapping, which is undefined).
I feel the issue with the meat alternatives has been the idea that Vegetarians and Vegans are growing in number and most people don't prepare their own food.

Couple that with some indications that in the western world both Vegans and Vegetarianisms seem to have more disposable income [0] and you get people with business backgrounds naturally pricing the products higher.

Also from a social perspective in the west, people will pay a premium to appear to be making "healthier" or "ethical" purchases.
