>I don't see where you drew the distinction, can you point it out?

>"I think one of the problems in academia is that specialization requires people to forgo learning those traits, and they revert to what they’re comfortable evaluating (because it’s also what they specialize in)"

There's a distinction in avoiding a measure because it's not quantifiable and just plain not feeling as comfortable in that domain.

>How does the possibility of mathematicians being narrow minded in your second paragraph relate to this distinction?

When you're a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Humans tend to be cognitively lazy, so they revert to what they know when faced with uncertainty. E.g., a mathematician feels more comfortable measuring math skills, even though a better measure may be a combination of math and leadership skills. So they tend to hire quants with poor management traits. It doesn't mean they couldn't evaluate the soft skills, it means they chose not to.

Using a different analogy, if you asked a sprinter to choose a decathlete, what skills do you think they would more heavily weight in their evaluation? I'm saying it's likely they would more heavily weight the sprinting events because they don't know how to evaluate the other events as well. They specialize in sprinting, after all, and that's what they know and feel comfortable with. The result probably isn't going to select the best overall decathlete, but it doesn't mean the other events couldn't be measured.

Show HN: Open-Source media editing commands with FFmpeg and ImageMagick
Hey HN!

I published this list of commands that I use regularly to edit my media files. I hate having to dig these up every time I need to resize or convert a file.
Thanks. It's not a showstopper for me, but my brother and I are getting in to DADGAD and open G and stuff, and... it's something I think it would help folks (but we're a minority - that's why they're 'alternate' tunings!).

It's implied in the above is that it's for anyone paying attention to E. Practically everyone understands that for every conceivable reason there is a buyer buying for that reason somewhere.

You may think it's a bubble. It's not obviously a bubble to anyone who understands the current capabilities and how locked in nvidia is with their gpus and cuda. It might end up being expensive in retrospect. It might not.
Agreed. I'm no moral authority nor expert in ethics but this is pretty cut and dry to me. I think the most important aspect of entrapment (although all are relevant in the legal sense) is the second clause: coercion.

Without being explicitly coerced into doing something "illegal" (cheating in this case) I don't see how there could ever be a case to make that this is immoral. The students are cheating of their own free will. Case closed.

This is behind a paywall so possibly I'm repeating stuff in the story.

The waste is supposedly low level (highly diluted) tritium and not much else so I've heard. If diluted sufficiently and spread over a wide enough area then it's likely the safest, most practical and the most environmentally sound way of disposing of it.

Tritium has a half life of a bit over 12 years and it's a low level beta emitter with low energy (low range, low penenetrative ability) so it seems to me all the whingeing is a bit of a beat-up—the usual nuclear scaremongering.

Of course, the devil's in the detail and we need to told the facts without any B/S before any release.

I'm not talking about him coming up with the ideas. But him weaving it as a thing the US Navy had been concerned about the Soviets building – I am saying it's very likely that the US Navy's concern about these drives being used in subs wasn't made up, and maybe some related conversations he had with contacts/sources, that turned out to be one of many seeds that made for a compelling story.

More likely, they will be astonished that we managed to survive so long while still perceiving the natural world in a reductionist manner instead of noticing the symbiosis and holism that characterize and sustain it.
You'll generally have two functions:

addFragment : (String, IntermediateHtmlAST) -> IntermediateHtmlAST

renderHtml : IntermediateHtmlAST -> String

There is a sanitation pass that occurs either in the final conversion of the intermediate data structure to an HTML string (renderHtml), or immediately on the function call (addFragment).

This is similar to how database query libraries let you build up a SQL query via an intermediate data structure and then convert that to a prepared SQL statement (most common) or do data sanitization on the input fragment (less ideal).
I was about to order something from a website[1] that showed as first page result on Google Search.

Interview: The 'War of Clans for Putin's Throne Has Begun'
That's fine and all, but not what was happening.

They had google access and editor hints. Further, I start every interview with "please, ask any questions, we aren't trying to trick you we just want to see if you can code." And I mean it. If someone has a minor problem with remembering syntax or how to declare it I don't really care and will happily let them know how to do that.

Heck, I've even had interactions where a candidate was like "I think there's a method that does x for this" in a language I was unfamiliar with, so I googled up what x was and shared it with them mid interview. "Oh yeah, looks like this is what does x for your language".

There was also some pretty weird behaviors with the camera/screen that caused them to need to touch it fairly frequently (I'm guessing to take over keyboard control from the AI software they were using).

What they were doing, repeatedly, though the interview was writing

`a[i]` then having to change it to `a.get(i)` because they were working with a `List` in java. I get maybe doing that once or twice, but in the course of the interview they did it every single time they needed to pull something out of the list. (and each time needed to touch their screen and take a few minutes to correct it). This is why I strongly suspected cheating. It extended a question that normally takes 15 minutes to 35 minutes. Then the question I ask that usually takes ~45 minutes they completed in 15 with an optimal solution that relies on a data structure I literally only learned about because the interview hints for the question are like "Hey, java has this data structure that makes everything easier".
And this is why I was never a fan of rolling release distros

I'm not a Spanish speaker so I'm reliant on these accounts. Here's a more detailed explanation [1]:

> The legal framework for a balanced budget dates back to Section 34 of the 1917 Jones-Shafroth Act, which states that “No appropriation shall be made, nor any expenditure authorized by the legislature, whereby the expenditure of the Government of Porto Rico during any fiscal year shall exceed the total revenue then provided for by law and applicable for such appropriation or expenditure, including any available surplus in the treasury, unless the legislature making such appropriation shall provide for levying a sufficient tax to pay such appropriation or expenditure within such fiscal year.” A provision
in Puerto Rico’s Constitution, which was approved in 1952, contains similar language in English: The appropriations made for any fiscal year shall not exceed the total revenues, including available surplus, estimated for said fiscal year unless the imposition of taxes sufficient to cover said appropriations is provided by law. P.R. Const., art. VI, §7. The Spanish translation of the Constitution, however, translated revenues as “recursos” which can also be interpreted to mean resources. A 1974 ruling by Puerto Rico’s attorney general clarified the legal meaning of “recursos” to a broader general definition of resources available to the government, including proceeds of bond issuances. P.R. Op. Sec. Just. 1974-15, 19

The way this reads is backwards to what I previously read (and stated) where "revenues" was translated into Spanish later to "recursos" in 1952, which was interpreted to include debt, bypassing the original 1917 act for a balanced budget.

He is recruiting tens of thousands of prisoners and they're being killed on the front line without anything, and Russia is becoming the most isolated country, somewhere between Iran and North Korea.” I would have told the screenwriter that he's crazy. But this is the reality..."
> I am not sure under what circumstances this is true, but for security it is definitely false. People keep forgetting to sanitize inputs, for example. Does that render input sanitization a broken idea?

Well ... yes? If people are forgetting to do something that is required, then that something is explicitly needed.

Better to make that "something" implicitly added in the process no matter what the user does[1]. Or make the process break if the user "forgets"[2].

All difficult things to be sure, but easier than expecting the user to remember which of the 100 different NON-DEFAULT sanitation packages to install, configure and use, for output to HTML, SQL, JSON, Logs, and more.

If the language makes it easy to do, and there is very little blowback in terms of security[3], then users are gonna do it.

[1] Auto-sanitise strings, obviously. I dunno how you'd actually do this though.

[2] When running as a web-service, have Django/whatever-framework configure Python/whatever-language to emit warnings whenever string interpolation is used without any escape function.

[3] For HTML, the exploitation of string interpolation are few and far between; they're so rare as to be lost in the noise. Hence, users don't use it. For SQL, injection was a real problem, with the risk of getting pwned on string interpolation being close to 100% on a good day (and actually 100% on a bad day), and so users actually used the mitigations there were.

Unless the outcomes to all students involved are zero-sum, it's not hard to have a model in which a single student getting an artificially higher grade through some unfair mechanism is a net utility gain. It was one of the arguments specifically presented in my intro-to-ethics class (though it was not cheating, it was a student asking their professor (who was a utilitarian) to give them a slightly higher grade; for pure utilitarianism the mechanism that results in inflating the grade is irrelevant).
