The paper argues against those who think that "programming should strive to be more mathematical" through the development and adoption of formal methods. It points out that "more mathematical" does not implicate formal methods, since proofs by mathematicians are informal and their correctness is established by social processes. The author fears that an over-emphasis on formal methods could stifle innovation (in particular, in programming language design).

As a mathematician that works with proof assistants, I largely agree with this thesis. However, I don't think there is any reason to have any such fears associated with formal methods. I think informal proofs, as the exist in both CS and maths, are here to stay. And, on the contrary, I think investigations into formal methods can drive new theory and insight. For example, one could say that the formal system of homotopy type theory (HoTT) is a programming language created in order to reason about highly "coherent" mathematical structures, which HoTT often does very well. In addition, being a formal system, HoTT is well-suited for formal methods -- but even so, many mathematicians still prefer to work informally in this language.

In summary, I think the article makes a valid point, but the motivating fears seems unfounded in retrospect.

Does anyone know if there is an equivalent for generating "random" viable products[1] in a PDM/ERP system?

I'm demoing some systems in this field for outside interests, but I can't use any "real" data due to ITAR and data restrictions like TC, NC, etc. Wait, what about the ERP? The ERP I'm developing against has "sample" data that's basically useless. Not much better than lorem ipsum pasted across ten thousand cells. Actually, it's worse than that, because . . ah hell, this is HN, I won't waste your time. People here know what the ERP ecosystem is like. I also don't want to build out from a bespoke, brittle ERP - that's how we got into this mess in the first place.

[1] Like a multi-level BOM that makes sense, or a Service BOM / Logistics Database that's meaningful. Anything for making pseudo-random PLs that follow MIL-STD-100, which is still considered frickin' Holy Ground by these people.
> consumers get fantastic deals and cheaper products and more reliable service than ever before.

This hasn't been true for many years IME, and will almost certainly get worse over time. Companies like Amazon don't fight tooth and nail to monopolize industries because they want to be nice to people, they do it because it results in power they can use to increase profits over the long term. Less competition means that they can ratchet up prices for customers and squeeze sellers/suppliers more. There are only a handful of general stories online these days, largely due to Amazon's actions.
Looks like it can't keep the background stable, so I guess this is not suitable for animations.

I'm just confused about the "something-you-know" aspect of this. From my understanding, in the US you can be legally forced to give your fingerprint, face scan, probably your retina scan, maybe your voice identification... these are all "things you have", more akin to "username". But a password is the "thing you know", the thing they can't take from you (discussions of torture and AI mind-reading aside).

So is the idea there that that basically goes away with passkeys, and that your only "thing-you-know" protection is the x-digit passcode you punch into your phone?
I'm in the island of Leros, now, little south of Lesbos: I've just had a chat few hours ago with two migrants arrived here in January: they told me that the Greek coastguard in Leros did beat them up, including their wife (pregnant), till they cried like crazy so the let them in.

I do not blame much the single coast guard 'soldier' which have kind of a simple mind, but their bosses and more the EU white collar that push them to act (pretending they do not know).

Embarrassing for the EU which is promoting itself as a human right lighthouse.
> every single online account you have uses email address

No, not every single one. This is provably false.

I can prove it right on this very website, where we all have usernames, rather than email addresses. Going over my password manager, while the majority of records has an email address for a credential, a fair share of records has usernames instead.
No I have not. Most likely its part hereditary(dads and his entire side of the family is diabetic) and part environment. I was heavy drinker in late teens and early twenties and I had a chronic infection that most likely triggers autoimmune responses in the rest of my body including my pancreas. Once I got the infection cured, by removing the infected tissue alot of symptoms have abated and my body has slowly started to recover and I can eat alot more variety of different foods. So who knows but like I said I think its both.
The checkmark never disappears in the checkboxes however the standard behavior for a checkbox is that the checkmark should disappear (or appear) when the checkbox is toggled.

The Big Bang isn't an explosion in space. It's an explosion of space.

There isn't anything to push out of the way. The space itself for those galaxies to be in didn't exist.

It's the space itself that's expanding. One interesting property of that is that it can expand faster than the speed of light. Objects within space can't do that.

So there's no way for there to be pre-existing galaxies that we're just belatedly observing. (And incidentally, even if there were, they'd have been destroyed by the hot, dense state prior to the recombination event that gave rise to the Cosmic Microwave Background.)

FWIW, the best RPN caclulator app I've seen (no Android, just iPhone, sadly...) is the MathU RPN from CreativeCreek. Not only does it successfully combine the scientific, digital, and financial capabilities of the HP 10-series (12c, 15c, 16c) into one calculator, it's also one of the very few RPN apps that really gets the look and feel of HP's keyboard/UI design right. This app is literally the biggest thing still tying me to Apple's iOS, which I've finally decided I'm done with, but I really don't want to give up this app - it's one of only two I've ever paid for.

You can terminate connection before response body is fully served (assuming you have content-length or transfer-encoding chunked). curl will exit with error code in this case. Not sure about JS fetch. You can't carry any additional error codes or messages this way, though, just to signal that something's wrong. And you can't do anything if you already sent full response. And you would need access to sockets which might not be available in all HTTP libraries.
Microsoft themselves says otherwise -- that this practice is not allowed, and that there is no such thing as a secondary-market product key as large customers are supposed to discard unused product keys. These $10 keys frequently get revoked as Microsoft discovers them used outside of their intended setting.

Right, the CarMax process is pretty painless and the prices they pay aren't much lower than what you could get in a private party sale. I think some HN users might not appreciate how risky selling a car on Craigslist has become; there have been many high profile news stories about sellers being scammed or robbed. Plus with the increasing levels of violence in many cities more people (especially women) are simply afraid to meet random strangers or give out their contact info.

I personally prefer MS Guidance. Langchain is just super bloated and complicated, to the point that I found it easier to just write the code myself. Plus, I don't think Langchain is a good long-term strategy given their involvement with VCs.
The funny thing is that, in my experience, bubble sort is actually pretty hard to write, because the finicky details of the swap step don't make sense (in a "wait, this can't possibly be right, there's no way you'd want to write it like that" kind of way). Better than even odds that if you have someone write a "bubble sort" without reference, you get an accidentally insertion sort variant.

Does some people deserve a shitty life, in general that is not something we should strive for.

There are two things I feel about this, first is prisons as they are in many countries are really bad for the employees, lots of suicide etc. As a prisoner being put away for years with minimal contact with the outside world is a really heavy punishment even if you live a life without constant fear.

A society that mistreat people is not something to strive for, and making prisons as bad as they can get will affect society as a whole. Paying prisonguards a little extra to take the risk of suicide seems really rotten to me.

Very often the unit economics at smaller scales doesn't work, but then works great at a large scale. I don't think it's immoral to gamble on achieving the high scale later and investing in the company to shoot for that scale. If no one can achieve profitable unit economics early on and you aren't allowed to have unprofitable unit economics then no one will make the product. I think this is bad for innovation. Is this the same as "venture predation"? It sure seems that way. How could you tell it apart?

Sure. In this case, the smarter people wrote the sort in ~1995 and it was good enough for nearly 30 years, but now someone has to step up and be smart again.

You can't always rely on smarter people to be there to do things for you. And you also can't rely on the standard library to have been written by smarter people anyway, and even if so, to have been written by smarter people in order to handle the situation you find yourself in. There's lots of ways to sort, and lots of good reasons to choose ways that are less than optimal for the use cases they end up being used in.
I'm a bit perplexed that there seems to be minimal discussion on the complete technical absurdity of this ban.

Within the USA, there might _possibly_ be sufficient technical infrastructure available to block app downloads at a national level. Maybe. And leaving aside the myriad circumvention routes.

But at the state level? It's simply not there in the way that the legislators think. Application-level data? Turn off location services. GeoIP? Nice try- mobile carriers don't reliably egress in the state from which the customer traffic originates. E911? Protected by other laws. Cell tower location? What about folks near state borders, and there's no reliable vehicle to get that data to app store operators right now anyway.

What's good enough for an advertiser trying to sell concert tickets is not necessarily good enough for enforcing legal prohibitions.

Effectively, to enforce this would require cooperation between government agencies, mobile carriers, and app vendors on a scale that has not be done in this country before- and with two of the three parties not even remotely interested in such cooperation.

This thing is pure political theatre.

My impression is that the trade off when choosing RDF vs a property graph when trying to model graph data is between maximal schema flexibility and the ability to infinitely break apart the data model down to the smallest atomic structures because literally everything is a node that is either an IRI(as unique identifier) or a primitive. Vs the convenience of having more complex nodes and edges with some structure built in where you can collapse some fields down and call them properties to describe individual nodes and edges. In RDF you have to create all of that yourself with triples which can lead to some large structures for relatively common tasks like referencing edges and for reification of statements.
> Passwords should always be kept as a valid authentication method

You don't have 'access' to the private key for any well designed HSM either. And there's nothing in the passkey spec that says you need to put the private key in at inaccessible place.
> The dissent manages to be even worse by, as you point out, essentially arguing that everything Andy Warhol does deserves to be fair use because it's Andy Warhol.

That's not how I read it. The gist I took was that Andy Warhol deserves fair use because the art establishment has consistently viewed his works, the Prince piece included, as revolutionary. And to state the bloody obvious, if his work was not transformative, it never would have been seen as revolutionary.
Obviously the second-lowest bidder will have a higher price than the lowest bidder. Arguably a second-price policy would be fair in this case but it may not be legal for NASA to award any more money than necessary.

I had it setup like this: some devices plugged into PC directly, KVM plugged into the PC, hub plugged into PC, hub on monitor plugged into hub and a bunch of things plugged into hubs.

Half of the devices were just powered by USB and not using any data, but only needed to be ON when the PC is ON.

The way it worked:

- FreeBSD would scan all USB devices

- get held up on some for no reason

- find a hub

- scan everything on a hub

- find another hub

- scan everything on that hub as well

Anytime during the scan it could run into a device that takes longer (no clue which or why, only happened on FreeBSD and never on Linux or Windows)

I'm sure windows and linux did the same thing, but both shapely continued booting while FreeBSD waited and waited and waited and waited.

Bias light on a monitor would sometimes completely stop the process until unplugged.

USB stack on FreeBSD is forever cursed, I still remember kernel panics when you unplug a keyboard or a mouse.
>The only issue is that companies like Uber are lying to themselves and their investors that costs will go down significantly in the future. Both through scale and advances in technology. Which is true. But rarely true to the extent to which they believe it.

Uber and other folks who sell whatever it is they sell at a loss -- with no real expectation (other than driving their competition out of business so they can then hike prices well beyond where those who can actually make a profit charge) always reminds me of this[0].

> "Skilled, reliable observers associated with our team, all abundantly familiar with Pileated Woodpecker, Red-headed Woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus), and other birds of the area, reported 16 visual observations deemed by the observer to be probable Ivory-billed Woodpeckers. Seven of these were of high enough quality that the observer considered the sighting to be definite (See Appendix 1). Although these observations lack photographic verification, many are supported by field drawings."

So they are pretty sure they saw some 'the observer considered the sighting to be definite' but they don't have any photographs 'observations lack photographic verification'.

Copying a convenient-looking one out of a CS book is how you end up with a bubble sort. Approximately nobody comes up with a bubble sort from scratch; it's obviously, gratuitously bad in a way that there's no practical reason to think of on your own. The sorts that people come up with without reference are usually insertion and selection sorts—those two were discovered before bubble sort.
