I grew up in Denver, and we had handball courts in some of the city parks. It seemed to be super popular with central and south Americans. The tennis courts were super popular with African immigrants, mostly Nigerians.

Don't know if they're still there, or if they have been turned into a pickleball court like every other place on earth.
Using taxes would be (IMO) ideal, but that just isn't politically feasible in the US. I'm not sure I'm convinced that university donations from the wealthy is anywhere near as good when it comes to wealth distribution, but it's pointless to say "doing this with taxes is better" if we don't have those taxes and can't have those taxes.

They don't "try". They succeed. Time and time again. Maybe at some point they'll stop succeeding, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
This is an issue of you not understanding how to properly manage the state of your application, not React.

> The math questions were of the form “Is 17077 prime”? They picked 500 numbers, but all of them were prime!

> The June version of GPT-3.5 and the March version of GPT-4 almost always conclude that the number is prime regardless of whether it is prime or composite. The other two models do the opposite. But the paper only tested prime numbers, and hence concluded that GPT-3.5’s performance improved while GPT-4’s degraded.
I think it's effectively some weird containerized WhatsApp client. The benefit seems to be that it provides end-to-end encryption between the company and the customer, unlike Meta's hosted version.
Point is, his dad probably didn't write to the university president (which would be ironic at this point) asking him to admit his deadbeat son as a favor. The student earned his admission the same way anyone does: essays, grades, luck. I'm sure he was helped by the gift from his parents of good writing skills and some doggedness. "Legacy elite" tends to imply there's someone more deserving of his spot.
If possible channel her into something. We had ours in a few sports. Currently in All Star Cheer. (Not what you see at football games)

They absolutely love it, and it’s been a big positive in many ways for them. Our lazy unmotivated child works hard now and talks constantly about college, getting good grades etc.
basically, she’s doesn’t want to disappoint the team or her friends, so she’s learned to push herself hard. Plus they are so busy they don’t have time to get into trouble.

We had them in horses at one point. Person selling us on it had a good point that keeping them busy and active was cheaper than teen pregnancy or years of therapy.

I increasingly meet devs who have no such knowledge (beyond a vague understanding). They sometimes don't even understand bitwise operations or when to use them and why.

It completely boggles my mind.

Has anyone seriously tried structured concurrency for single-threaded async Rust? The pattern where main effectively leaks a task seems kind of gross to me, and it’s exactly what structured concurrency tries to solve.

(I realize that Rust’s async is inherently semi-structured.)
Yes perhaps the unstated benefit of elite private schools is the long term relationships formed between children of legacy (i.e. generational wealth) and highly capable and hungry individuals who are getting in on merit alone.

The two problems I see with legacy admissions is that:

1.) It has never been explicitly stated as a policy. If it were an upfront "get one admission for every 10 full price admissions/tuitions you buy" that would seem fairer. That said - I can see why a private school might be hesitant to be so transparent...

2.) The schools need to grow in order to keep the percentage of new admits to legacy admits constant as every generation of graduates is likely to produce at least 2x increase in legacy admits.
I have a hard time defining my own stance on this point.

For example, my alma mater GAtech allows for automatic admissions of my immediate relatives provided they reach some bar like 3.5 gpa + 1400 SAT (math+reading).

Do you think this should be illegal? It’s quite clearly an attempt to create an enduring GT community. It’s also clearly not the same as racially discriminatory admissions.

I do see the argument that it’s unfair…but should it be full blown illegal? “Non-legacy” isn’t a protected class in America unlike race,sex,religion, etc.

It depends how far down you want to look. At the bottom is Maxwell's equations.
Warcraft III is no longer officially available in any capacity. if you purchased it and attached it to your Battle.net account, it was replaced with the remastered or reforged or refucked or whatever they called it version, without notice or consent, forever. and it's not even the full version of the rezombified version, it's a gimped version of that, and you have to pay them again to unlock the full version of the replacement product that you never asked for.

when they pulled that bullshit stunt I decided I was done with Blizzard, and it's just been a steady decline ever since.

With the exception of list comprehension, which is IMO not only the best feature of jquery but almost enough of a reason to use it on its own, browsers have copied most of the features at this point. Do you (or anyone else here) see an opportunity to copy features from React into the browser?

I know there have been earlier tricks to pop elements off the DOM, modify them heavily and then pop them back on. I wonder if it would be better to a) provide a way to mark a node and it’s children as suspended reflow, or b) provide a virtual view where you can do operations on off-DOM nodes including ones that typically trigger reflow. c) something else entirely

I couldn't agree more with you! The problem is in either the pressure to remain funded or the pressure to not admit defeat. Or a mixture of the two. We need to work on removing those roadblocks. This could be only the tip of the iceberg and harsher punishment is only going to drive people to get better at obfuscation/manipulation.

There's no all in one stop for understanding radio but these 5 resources helped me a lot.

The RF Get Down courses. This is by far the best material online to learn RF and how modulation works: https://www.youtube.com/@rfgetdown/videos

I also highly recommend getting a $20 rtl-sdr USB software defined radio dongle. They're great toys for learning RF, what modulation is, and exploring the spectrum.

WhatsApp eventually comes down.
We will never have this because neither side wants it:

Schools do not want it because they lose total control over who they accept. Harvard wants to accept the children of the current ruling class knowing that they will become the next one, and in doing so keeping alive the mythos of Harvard as ruling class incubator.

The other side, which we can call the affirmative action supporters, don't want it either because they see it as a racist by proxy system. And also because it turns out that Asians and Indians (and others too) would do exceedingly well with this system.
I haven't used WhatsApp in ages, and a couple hours ago I got a very persistent scammer trying to get me to talk to them. Probably just a coincidence, but it makes me wonder if this is security related.
Anxious? Time has passes for patience. We needs to get something done. This has been a decades old issue that's only getting worse. We need to try different solutions.
Think of a watchdog timer in the same way you think about that big red handle on a train, 'emergency use only, abuse will be punished'.

There’s plenty of opportunities to reform the scientific organization and science in general.

1. Get rid of scientific journals, replace them with databases of scientific results and raw data. A paper may explain the result, but looking at the database must be enough. Assign credibility score based on independent verifications/confirmation of trustworthiness by other leading experts in the field. Negative results, verifications of known facts should have equal significance there. Theories must be peer-reviewed first. In some scientific field this may significantly change how the research is made, probably for good (it’s fun to read papers in certain fields where authors disagree with another scientist because of some gut feeling).

2. Get rid of degrees and titles - they do not age well without continuous learning and participation in research. Bachelors and doctors should have had an expiration date. Credibility of a person must be based on exams, certifications and scientific results accepted by others and as such always has certain age. A scientist who became an expert by verifying a lot of other’s works may be more credible expert than someone who made one new discovery. The weight that this scientist puts behind each verified result must boost its credibility significantly, but if the reputation is damaged it must cascade to everything downstream.

3. Management career track must be separated from professional track: head of a lab must not be the best expert and should not be the first name on a published result. Leadership skills, ethical code and ability to assemble a great team must be more important. Choice of the direction of research must be a team decision.

That's not a contradiction. He's saying that later when you need multithreading you can add it. You generally don't start with it.

Of course for some projects you know up front you'll need multithreading but the point is that that isn't the default position.
Fair enough, that was just my impression. But it is my impression also that most *organised groups against prostitution often seem to have religion behind them. I may well be wrong though.
I know others are piling on but there is also adoption at Google, Facebook, Fastly, Dropbox, Yelp, Reddit, 1password, Discord etc. The list goes on and on.

Ask HN: Reverse Email Verification
Where instead of you receiving an email with a verification code during the signup flow, YOU are expected to send an email TO the site? Would this not circumvent the ever-present issue of email deliverability and ending up in spam? Of course, will probably hurt conversions and you'd have to drop non-SPF domains, but with a mailto: href you could make it a bit smoother?

I'd be curious to know where the issues arise with such a theoretical solution. Has anyone encountered this in the wild?
Why is enterprise software expensive? Because enterprise support is expensive.

It always starts out easy "We want this thing X to do Y, we probably won't use it that much"

Which turns into

"X has our entire enterprise down" and you're like WTF, how can that be, and they are like "Well it worked so good we turned it into a main line of business app and didn't tell you" then "oh yea, can we get 24/7 support on it now" which turns into "The support people we talk to need to understand their shit because this is hitting a database and API endpoint pretty damned hard"

Then all of a sudden that $50k goes nowhere unless you're selling that shit again and again to keep up with your internal costs of making sure they are working.
Nothing quite like the greedy desire to show year on year profits. It’s not just Netflix - it’s every for-profit company now.
You can experiment all you want, but to reproduce those results consistently in any situation that might arise you need to contextualize your experimentation within the framework of theory so your mind has something to grasp onto other than 'moving this muscle makes this sound'. Let's say you are on the gig with a singer who wants to do a standard piece in Eflat and you only practiced it in G. Someone who knows theory well will be able to transpose on the spot. Someone who relies on muscle memory and ear will likely be pretty useless in that situation.
a part of it is also trying to avoid decision-makers cheaping out; eg you've been given a budget for social programs, it's your duty to use all of it and provide the impact that was expected. you can apply that logic to a lot of things - why are you building a 2 billion dollar metro when we budgeted for a 3 billion one? what corners are you cutting?
I just want you to know that I appreciate you coming in here an addressing people's comments. HN is a tough crowd, so don't take it too personally.
ah you might be right.
I found the same thing. Drew a lousy horse looking at it from the side and it gave me horse from the front.
> Its actually interesting in a way that Blizzard singlehandedly created 3 new generes of gaming because of how flexible their WC3 editor was.

Hmm, what three are you thinking of? Tower defense and MOBA come to mind, but I can't think of the third.

(Also, tower defense maps really started with Starcraft -- the game engine limited what developers could do with those maps, but the concept was there.)
> You don't want faulty tasks in your embedded application anyway.

Faults are a way of life in software, they are unavoidable because each and every piece of software rests on a bunch of assumptions and if any one of those or a combination of them do not hold then you have a fault. Failure to envision that fault and a way to deal with it in embedded systems can cause damage to property, injury and loss of life.

None of this is simple, not in theory and definitely not in practice.

It’s certainly not easy, that’s why I said they failed at due diligence. I assume they tried.

What do you put on the exam? Harvard isn't just looking for academic success. They're looking for the next generation of leaders. How do you test for that?
Yep, I don't think it used my doodle at all for the generation.
Even just an eye-test shows it's much faster than that for me.

Pagespeed shows .6 for desktop, but locally I'm seeing frames loaded under 350ms. I would have guessed much faster, but I guess the devtools don't lie.
xformers has to match the PyTorch build. For PyTorch nightly, you need to build from source.

xformers still has a tiny performance benefit (especially at higher resolutions IIRC), but yeah, PyTorch's SDP is good.
Tangential: I managed to massively improve our logging/bug-hunting experience with this simple trick:

Whenever we write any kind of event into our logging system (which at its core is simply a run-of-the-mill ELK stack setup), four attributes are added:

- the userId (if an authenticated user session is active)

- the sessionId (this always exists, authenticated user or not)

- the requestId (nginx as the first point of contact generates this one)

- the clientId (when we see this browser for the very first time, we generate this and store it in a really-long-lived cookie)

I have yet to see a measure with a better cost-benefit ratio.

Hunting down a bug always starts with seeing an error event — and this event has all 4 attributes (userId might be NULL of course).

Want to find all other events related to the same session? Search Kibana for the sessionId. All events from the same HTTP request? Search for the requestId.
Same client? clientId. Same user? userId.

In some cases it nearly feels like cheating.

> Why is IMAX running a software emulation of hardware from two decades ago? IMAX didn’t immediately return Motherboard’s request for comment for an explanation, but such things are more common than you’d think. It’s probable that the IMAX hardware ran on a piece of PalmOS-based software, and it did its job well enough that there was never a need to change.
At a certain point, you aren't doing a cold restart, but a high speed recreation of the system based on prioritized needs.
...because the goal was for it to rise from the ashes of the failed Netscape rewrite.
Yeah this would make sense, sort of like how posts here include what programming language some product is written in, because we're interested in that sort of thing, even though it isn't part of the general messaging of the product.

But in this case "decentralized" and "anti-corporate" are prominent in the messaging. "Decentralized" shows up twice above the fold, and both things get their own icon, also above the fold.

I'd really love federation / de-centralization to be an implementation detail of useful products, where someone posts here, "Hey, you know this awesome new product that's getting lots of traction? Here's a blog post about how they implemented it using ActivityPub because it allowed them to launch and get network effects way faster!". But that never seems to be what I see. Instead it always seems to be, "Hey check this new product out, the selling point is that it's decentralized!".
It specifically sucks now in almost every aspect it used to rule 10 years ago.

Starting from performance, dev tools and finishing with annoying and shitty ui “enhancements”.

That could be said about a very large number of useful products. It doesn't lessen their utility.

At some schools I'm quite sure that graduating athletes also end up making more money than their non-athletic counterparts, which - even ignoring the "big sports" aspect of it - makes them more likely to become future donors to the university.
