If you're interested in learning, buy a book, find a free mooc you're interested in, read blogs and most importantly: try stuff, build stuff, experiment.

There are some good course that result in some certificate. More often, certification is just something to please the bean counters and teaches almost no useful skills.
I don’t mean to sound pretentious but i have a hard time understanding how anyone can have a difficult time differentiating between art nouveau and art deco. The only similarity between the two lies in word “art”.
The animations are nice, but I don’t know if I can trust a site that lost fishing knots that does not include a Palomar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palomar_knot
Alternatively, in some places they actually made sure there were no common prefixes.

That book is likely to be correct that it is a myth that "al-Andalus" was "a place where Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived in harmony" and that in reality being a non-Muslim must have caused many disadvantages.

Nevertheless, even without examining any evidence from that book, it is beyond any reasonable doubt that the non-Muslims had been much better treated under the Arab rulers than the non-Christians were treated after the territory had been reconquered by the Spanish kings.

For this, no other evidence is necessary beyond the fact that even if the non-Muslims might have not "lived in harmony", they certainly had lived there in great numbers, while soon after the reconquest the non-Christians no longer lived there (this is especially obvious from the large number of Sephardim who had to live in other countries after that).

Another thing that is true beyond any reasonable doubt is what is said in the parent article, i.e. that regardless whether the Arab conquest was good or bad for the local people, for Europe as a whole the Arab presence in Spain has been extremely useful, both as the source of improved knowledge in chemistry, mathematics and astronomy, due to their own research of various Arab and Muslim authors, and as the source of many ancient Latin and Greek works that had been lost in Europe.
i've tried on things like replit (i dont have access to old specs), but the mspt was too inconsistent (it varied between 0.7 and 6mspt for 1k circles)
> But the criminals ? Do you honestly think they'll think "oh no, game over" ?

> No of course not. They'll pay some cryptographer in need of some money to develop a new E2EE tool and carry on. Business as usual.

I used to think this, I changed my mind: just as it's difficult to do security correctly even when it's a legal requirement, only the most competent criminal organisations will do this correctly.

Unfortunately, the other issue:

> And the governments will rub their hands with glee with all the new data they have access to.

Is 100% still the case, and almost impossible to get anyone to care about.
Very fast and responsive compared to OsmAnd. Would really benefit from having Terrain maps for the mountains though.
You can also have a worldbuilding in which there are technical difficulties on isolating or filtering the signals across a neurosynaptic link, so most people (other than the most resourceful hackers) have no choice but to expose themselves with a direct neurosynaptic link.

Galvanic isolation of high-speed digital electronics today is already fairly difficult. Imagine adding optical isolaton all the data ports on desktop computers, including the high-speed ones like 20 Gbps USB or Thunderbolt, it's entirely possible but difficult and expensive, sometimes with compatibility issues. USB 2.0 High Speed is a notorious example, it's difficult to isolate (until it was recently solved by some new ASICs from TI and Analog Devices) not because of any inherent technical problems of data transmission, but because its signaling and protocol are not designed with transparent repeaters in mind. Thus, galvanic isolation is only used in highly specialized applications. As a result, a USB Killer can easily destroy most PCs because the signal is often wired straightly into the CPU (SoC).

One can only imagine the difficulties of doing the same for a neurosynaptic link in a Sci-Fi world. For example, in Ghost in the Shell, ICE is in widespread use, meanwhile isolating firewalls do exist but they're rare, mainly used by intelligence agencies. They are also disposable devices and would be completely destroyed after an electrical overstress (not unlike real-world galvanic isolation...) Further, one can use bandwidth limitation to rationalize the "the mental equivalent of walking through treacle" part of your plot.

Of course, as you've pointed out, as computers operate much faster than the human time-scale, the argument of bandwidth is not really that convincing.
That would assume quality is valued by an employer, versus shitt apps.

But still only ~75% accurate execution. Completely unusable and it can’t explain how it got the data it got.
Obviously the System can locate the terminal and direct all neighboring IoT devices to attack. Hack the wrong machine and your toster reassembles itself into a killer bot that tries to zap you.
Mass surveillance isn't necessarily bad. It depends how it's implemented. The solution you describe is basically how it works with the intelligence agencies, in that only a miniscule fraction of the data collected in bulk ever reaches human eyes. The rest ends up being discarded after the retention period.

In terms of outcomes, almost nobody is actually surveilled, as the overall effect is the same as no data having been collected on them in the first place.

That said, I am personally more comfortable with my country's intelligence agencies hoovering up all my online activity than I am with the likes of Apple. The former is much more accountable than the latter.
Red herring. The licensing FAQ from HashiCorp makes it clear that this would not trigger the BSL provisions. [1].

Yes. But the UI is much clunkier than the excellent Android version.
"anything goes" is the best and most natural solution. Just don't let people copyright the output if they don't have full copyright on all of the inputs. This should finally get rid of the cancer that is copyright in a generation or two.
You're not wrong, but OP didn't say they want to study CS for the sake of their career. Maybe they just find it interesting and want to learn for the sake of learning - in which case it's definitely possible to learn a lot without formal schooling.
I'm not speaking to the validity of your points per se, just to the framing as some kind of response to an argument no one is making.
I have the issue on Firefox, but not on Chrome.
Mostly I don't see them as useful. None of my over 100 team mates have anything recent. I suppose when you're starting out.. But it really depends on the industry.
Change scares people. This has been the case for every single technological invention including writing. Predicting the transformative impact of a technology is nearly impossible (or sci-fi writers would have a better hit ratio) but thinking about how it will break what we currently have (versus what will replace the current status-quo) is fairly easy. Accepting ones own limitations and inherent ignorance about the future is something many people very much do not want to accept.
Mastering the curl command line with Daniel Stenberg [video]
you have probably read some vedanta book or snippet from the book
You can tell the grade of a trail by doing Route To / Route From and selecting the walking option. After computing the route it shows you a fairly accurate elevation profile, as well as the length and total elevation gains/losses.

If you're using imperial units, you can also quickly estimate difficulty by doing the following:

- take the total elevation change, in hundreds of feet, eg 900ft = 9 * 100ft

- take the total distance, in tenths of a mile, eg 2.1 mi = 21 * .1 mi

- divide the elevation by the length and convert to a percentage: 9/21 ~ 43%

- grades are like so:

0-40%: relatively easy

40-70%: moderately big elevation, may be hard to sustain

70-100%: steep terrain, may involve some scrambling

>100%: very steep, technical terrain. Sometimes involves ladders or a static line in particularly steep sections

For example, there's a pretty lengthy trail near me called Shining Creek, that's very sustained, but I wouldn't call it steep. It's got 2300ft of elevation change over 3.9mi, which corresponds to a 58% steepness, aka the upper end of a moderately difficulty hike if sustained.
US Government is funding kills of endangered animals, activists say
The tradeoff is -- where the cars drive, there's very little debris, because the tires scatter it off to where they don't drive. So I ride in the outside wheel path.

Road shoulders are the worst place to ride, because that's where the crap accumulates that gives you flats.
Everything you're saying is true, but I suspect it doesn't compensate for a late release in an overseas market when the worldwide hype has died down already. It's a legacy of the world pre mainstream internet.

Yea, you're not wrong about that.

Just because there is demand, doesn't mean it's morally right to treat people badly, and to restrict their rights and freedoms.

Canada is an excellent counter-example to this.

Canada gives most people moving to Canada their full rights and freedom, unlike the US. From a purely moral point of view, that's highly commendable.

There is huge demand (and millions of people willing) to move to wealthy countries the Middle East, like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait UAE, Qatar, etc. That demand and desire exists mostly due to higher salaries there.

There's no reason the US should treat immigrants worse than Qatar or Saudi Arabia (I would say the conditions of the H-2 work visa and especially the undocumented are probably worse than in some countries in the middle east), but the US (or at least Republicans[1] in the US) chooses to do so out of general disdain and hatred towards the concept of granting permanent residence, and integrating new people.

[1] I'm clarifying with Republicans here, since many blue (Democratic) states have indicated they'd like the welcome immigrants, Democratic politicians have introduced legislation that is immigrant-friendly; and all of these efforts have only been opposed to and blocked by Republicans.
Well, in my experience, it's usually around "power dynamics."

Some folks always have to be "on top" of every relationship.

Compliments are a way to wrest control.

For example, if we complement someone on being productive, depending on the wording, it can infer that they are only productive because we say they are, or that we are the only ones willing to "credit" them with their productivity.

It can also be used as a way to make ourselves look good, like saying that we are the only ones that noticed a certain pattern or trait, so we are using them as a foil to complement ourselves.

I have spent my entire adult life around some of the most manipulative people on Earth, and have developed a certain level of cynicism. I have also learned ways to "counter" these "compliments."

For example, in the OP, I might say "Huh. I thought it was obvious I screwed that up." That turns the "complement" onto the other, or "Yeah, but I showed Bob that I was good at that, and that's why I got the promotion."

Ink Comparisons: Signing the back of your credit card
Fair use isn’t a right, it’s a defense available for infringing on someone else’s [copy]rights. That distinction is why the act you’ve quoted very precisely says that it is “permissible” for you to quote excerpts [for specified uses] while it emphatically does not say that you are “entitled” to quote excerpts… by your reasoning an author would HAVE to provide you screenshots on demand simply because you asserted fair use.

I hate that they’ve stooped to stopping a screenshot — note, that they haven’t stopped you picking up a camera, though — but they absolutely haven’t infringed on any of your rights, in any currently extant country, by doing so.
Here in Croatia they still have different numbers available for the different services, alongside the 112 "catch all".

112 – general emergency line

There is also this:

Yeah, I was thinking that sounds like a good candidate to chthonian planet ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chthonian_planet )
YES you can.

I'm an EE who learnt CS from books and by actual programming. It was an iterative process that worked both ways for me. I would write a program to accomplish something specific, have problems and delved into the books to solve that problem and/or better understand how to better do it. Then in other cases I would read some material in a book and then program it up and fiddle with it to understand how it works.

IMO working through MIT's SICP: https://web.mit.edu/6.001/6.037/sicp.pdf is profoundly valuable. Although there are Python and Javascript versions of that material available, I recommend the 2nd edition's Scheme version. Once you grok the essential core principles, you will readily apply your knowledge to any reasonably competent "modern" programming language.

The foregoing approach worked well for me. It lead me to complete a ME in CS, work in industry for a couple of decades and then complete a PhD in SE.
I mean "tech" did a lot of messed up things - there is a reason why "what is your favorite big tech innovation: 1) illegal cab company 2) illegal hotel company 3) fake money for criminals 4) plagiarism machine" is a funny joke.

Enabling people to talk to each other without all their communication being wiretapped and archived forever is not one of those, I would say.
6 digit years aren't really _enough_ for that, tho; you're going to be looking at well over 100k years in most cases.

(I can definitely see cases where 6 digit years would be useful, tho)
>Shareholders can and have sued corporate boards/execs for not acting in their best interest.

Translating "best interest" to "maximize profits" is the stretch though. The shareholders define what is their best interest. Shareholders aren't faceless demons. They are you and me.

A few years ago when I was a Junior engineer, I worked for a company which would provide us with free tickets to any sports team in our city. I'm not a sports fan, but my stepdad loves hockey. When the tickets went up, they got reserved pretty fast.

I noticed that the site we used to reserve the tickets had a predictable slug like: `{company}-hockey-tickets-2016-season`, and `{company}-hockey-tickets-2015-season`. The sites also didn't change between each refresh.

So, when it was nearly time for the 2017 season to start, I wrote a script which hashed a GET request of the site at `{company}-hockey-tickets-2017-season`. If the hash changed, it would send me a text message using twilio, and I would know to immediately get on a machine and reserve the tickets we wanted. After a couple false positives, the page eventually went up before it was announced and I reserved the tickets I wanted.

Unfortunately, the office manager who did these things told me I couldn't jump the gun and un-reserved my tickets. After the official announcement went up, the spots I had originally reserved quickly went to someone else
Sure, that's what we'll do! Sounds grand!

By the way, we need to add another feature to our page, would you mind looking through that file so there are no class collisions? What do you mean its too long? 50k lines? Pfft.. But at least it 'gets transferred to the browser pretty fast'

I also get "1776cc", but this seems to refer to a Volkswagen engine. If I include a space after the "1776" the results disappear.

If it's locale related, it seems to make less sense to black-hole it from within the US, as it is a central year in American history.
What are you talking about? The article goes through the history, both positive and negative. There is plenty of not-so-light-and-happy parts in the article.

Examples:

> And yet, after the Reconquest, the once-wealthy region fell into decay. By the early 19th century, it had become so wild and impoverished that Washington Irving was forced to trudge its grueling mountain roads in a mule team convoy with armed guards to protect from highwaymen.

> The remote setting has also seen its share of violence. In 1568, more than seven decades after the Reconquest, the Muslims of Almería joined the so-called Rebellion of the Alpujarras against Christian domination in Spain, creating an outlaw Islamic enclave that held out until it was crushed in 1571.

> Soon after, a mass escape of Republican civilian refugees on the desert highway from Málaga to Almería was strafed remorselessly by Franco’s Nazi-supplied planes, leaving at least 3,000 dead. The city of Almería then became “a vast encampment,”

> Spain’s attempts at reconciliation have ranged from symbolic—a 2022 apology to women executed as witches in Catalonia—to acts that have direct contemporary impact, like the exhumation of victims in mass graves from the Spanish Civil War, offering closure to descendants who want their relatives identified and properly reburied.

> In 2015, there was also an attempt to deal with injustices following the demise of al-Andalus, when the Madrid government apologized for the 1492 Edict of Expulsion aimed at Sephardic Jews and offered Spanish citizenship to their international descendants.
That's actually one of the few areas where I really like the way OsmAnd approached the UI. When you tap a bus stop, it shows you which bus lines stop there, and only after you tap one of the lines do you actually see the route for that particular line, and it has buttons to focus the next and previous stops.
Not to worry. The calendar will be rebased when A.I. replaces J.C. as the starting point.

It's not that difficult -- you find the metal fingerstop, and then move two around from it (0 and then 9). 000 would be easier, but it seems like that was already taken for other purposes.
> As a computer scientist, I don’t find it ridiculous: everything on a computer is encoded as a bit string. Let’s pursue the analogy: if we have a directory full of devotional icons in some image format, and another directory full of hardcore porn clips in some video format, it’s certainly conceivable that the exact same bit string could appear in both directories.

I found this to be careless thinking, conflating representation of thing with the thing itself.
It’s still Digital _Rights_ Management… the rights in this case belong to the copyright holder, not to the consumer… they’re literally failing towards protecting rights that exist over rights that are only imaginary.
I didn't claim otherwise. The fact remains that a specific subset of a specific political party has been using "advocating for child safety" as a pretext to accelerate fear of and harassment against the LGBT community and "the left" in general for years now, and they put a lot of effort into appearing legitimate.

And yes, because their politics are becoming normalized within American culture, it is necessary to be skeptical about references to any such group. Assuming good faith is a rule on HN but elsewhere, where bad faith is what gets visibility, it's naive.
> the demands of a lot of websites and applications nowadays include interactivity on every level

The demands of the PM maybe, most users just want something the works and gets out of their way.

> very fast and smooth ui population

Neither of which your average JS/SPA/behemoth is actually good at.

> and pretty animations.

I’ll give you this though, JS web apps certainly do rep some pretty animations, often at the cost of thrashing my CPU and ram.

Crazy idea, but maybe, if instead of spending ages building “interactivity” we just built “applications that worked”, we might actually have less mess, and build better products.
I've probably been living under a rock here in EU. January 6th, riots, proud boys rings a bell, but what is 1776? Is that the capitol address? A year reference? Some alt-right numerology?

Can anyone explain, please?
I'm old enough to remember when servers rendered everything and you used CSS and Javascript to enhance the pages after they were rendered. The web is in such a dark and overengineered place. It's almost unbelievable. It's why my approach to building apps is server-rendered first and then enhanced after the fact.
You need the concepts in your head to have intuition. Bouncing each idea all the way out to an external resource is too slow.

Can you fake it with an LLM for a while? Sure. But you hit a point where you need to know the right things to prompt with, and how to evaluate its output.
Don't worry, they are small and only fly just far enough to land in your mouth as you sleep.
The quality of most fast food chicken sandwiches has fallen off a cliff. If you get even a 50% chicken to breading ratio you’re lucky and the chicken inside the thick breading is often gross. Very few fast food places even offer grilled/non-breaded chicken anymore. And it goes without saying that the product you get has zero bearing on the pictures on the menu/ads.

It's also very useful for simulation-based optimization. As an example, we use it extensively for the design of particle accelerators, where the simulations are typically expensive and need to run on supercomputers. We have built our own library[0] for enabling this, which in the end uses BoTorch (through Ax[1]) under the hood.

My general rule: If you are from an externally diverse cultural then you need to adapt to non-diverse cultures (Japan Korea etc) or internal-only diverse cultures (South Asia, Southeast Asia). If you cannot adapt to other cultures, then what is the point of working in a multicultural setting?
My friend is a heavy iOS maps.me user, and has hundreds of bookmarks all over the world. She isn't a fan of the new maps.me, and would love to use Organic Maps.

I've tested the import / export function, and it looks like we can transfer all her bookmarks over and preserve the colour information...

The only thing we're missing is an auto-backup function to store the bookmarks online. She's not a techie, so it has to be free from settings and automatically enabled.

As soon as that feature is added you'll have another user!
