If I wanted to get some patients who had either condition x y or z and likely they had more one of those conditions, this would be a useful way to return the data.

The list of patients remains distinct but which of the conditions they had would still be referencable.

It's a nice shortcut but not world changing.
Probably architect.
Targeting doesn't have to be explicit or exclusionary. A gambling operation with no age controls is targeting kids, because who else is the lack of controls bring in?
Better driver support, a real keyboard, and a functioning ecosystem of Linux distros.

God yes, get a Thinkpad instead. I'm not making the mistake of trying to daily drive a Linux-powered Chromebook ever again.
Smalltalk, SELF and Common Lisp are full of dynamic magic, you can in a single function call change the representation of all instances of a given object during program execution, at any given time break into the debugger and change whatever you feel like and resume execution, dynamically load code from the network with side effects on the running program, and many other crazy things.

Yet, not only are they in the genesis of JIT compiler research, their JITs are quite good, and their results went directly into JavaScript JITs research.
I used to work in the Native Client team at Google, both on regular NaCl and pNaCl. It failed for technical reasons too. And maybe, mostly for technical reasons.

pNaCl's biggest mistake was using LLVM bitcode as a wire format (see, for example, [1]). Another problem was trying to use glibc, instead of newlib. That resulted in a lot of low-level incompatibilities, as glibc itself is too target-specific. And implementing shared objects between portable and native world was really messy.

asm.js appeared as a simpler alternative to NaCl, and then it was quickly replaced by wasm, developed mutually by Mozilla, Google and others.

The main thing I noticed, wasn't the whole point of Unicode to be a single character set that could work for all languages simulateously? If the same code point is used for multiple characters in different languages, then aren't we pretty much back to code page era?
Awful. It's worse than I thought.

When I first moved to Seattle for my first real job, eons ago, my car was stolen. The police came right out, and found my car (they didn't find the thief). I got the car back.

I guess those days are long gone.
A set of small screwdrivers (at least one 0.8mm and one 1.2mm or so), pointy tweezers and a movement holder should be all you need to try the hobby out.

The screwdrivers and tweezers should be of good quality though, at least get the ones that cost 3-4$ each from China.

And you don't even need a mechanical watch. Cheap quartz watches also have tiny interesting parts in them that you can try to disassemble and reassemble.
> The point is, you can both be rich and work a normal work day.

No, not really. Show me a successful tech venture in the last 20 years where they did 40 hour work weeks and made it. I will show you dozens that didn't.

If you hire people that only want to do 40 hours a week. I hire people and give them stake in the company, and less pay. I have more runway, lower costs, higher productivity...

The arbitrage between time/work/pay/stake that im offering appeals to subset of people. Those who understand delayed gratification, and make the right bets (or enough of them) have a fairly good chance of coming out on top vs the competitors.
Does anyone without a technical background really read the url or even the domain?

My feeling is no from my family and my friends view.

I wonder if they'll have a way of converting to the old skool top/bottom for displaying on things like home TVs with 3D, or if they'll add update to AppleTV 4K for existing TVs.

Next is having them as sources in an NLE. Lots of ways to do that now, but that's been for separate L/R sources or top/bottom type of files. It's been so long since I've had to deal with that, I've not kept up with what the current state is for that world. Maybe they've all been updated to handle mv-hevc too??
He’s not wrong, though. Security researchers don’t use PGP when reporting vulnerabilities typically.

There has been several prominent cases where Apple removed some app from the store just to bring out an app in the same space. Also Apple products don't have the same restrictions as others when in comes to ads, api etc. To me that sounds quite clearly like like they are abusing their monopoly position.
I don't know about a "drug bar" but I'm of a similar mindset in that I think solutions which punish functional users are unhelpful. It's less obvious who those people are in the case of things like fentanyl but there's no shortage of healthcare, legal, and culinary workers making routine use of illegal stimulants. There's maybe a dialogue to be had there about if it's actually desirable such people's jobs be so demanding they feel the need to use the substances they do of course. But it hardly makes sense to jail them or force them into rehab if they're maintaining a productive lifestyle in my opinion.

A template repo can be found here https://github.com/JacksonKearl/cpython, but it does not implement an ideal malloc, just a baseline one - I am not sure if it is still being used as an assignment.

The repo states that even this dummy implementation:

Smalltalk, Common Lisp and SELF are just as dynamic if not more, with a JIT.
The reality is that “social mobility” is a term of art in economics that measures something few ordinary people care about. People mostly care about economic mobility, which is strong in the US. People want the to be better off financially, not more socially mobile. These are not the same thing. You can readily increase your earnings by large amounts without being socially mobile.

The notion that people prefer to be “socially mobile” but poorer isn’t backed by a lot of evidence. People like more money, as a general rule.

Appealing to “social mobility” is something people with money do.
>I agree. Why would a judge be afraid of Apple or Google? They don’t give a shit. Neither company is going to hire hitmen.

Since it's legal in US to buy political influence (lobby) and since judges and prosecutors are politically appointed and since the said corporations have very large pockets...

To add on that media and public opinion also impacts your career as a justice and money can swing both media and public opinion.

Ask HN: Some posts are not in first page when I'm logged in
So I was looking to hacker news today when I noticed something. Of all the threads in first page, one of them (beeper mini is back - https://blog.beeper.com/p/beeper-mini-is-back ) disappeared from the main page when I logged in.
I tried multiple times, and the result didn't change: as logged out the post is in front page, top 10, as logged in the post is not listed, at least not in the first few pages.

I don't remember seeing this pattern before, what would be the idea behind it?
The meta doesn’t exist because nobody targets OpenBSD because it’s not used. People’s analysis of it is mostly just their educated guess as to how work for other platforms would carry over.
Sigh. Why is it that people seem to think that the only alternative to one bad thing on a continuum is a bad thing at the opposite end of the continuum.

There's a lot of room between "obsessively read everything" and "you didn't know about the tornado warning until your house blew over".

I get that it's hard to find the best spot on the continuum. And that best spot is probably not the same for everyone.

It's interesting that this article was written 10 years ago. Social media was already not great even by then, but it was nowhere near as polarizing and engagement-centric as it is now. Subscription models for online newspapers weren't quite as pervasive as they are now.

So I don't know... honestly I couldn't make it all that far through this article. It was so filled with absolutes, no nuance, no acknowledgement that there are choices between everything and nothing. Exhausting.
> It seemed incredible that such tiny animals can make such enormous constructs.

Humans have done a lot by this measure. Some of it is less than desirable though.
My dad bought a '69 VW camper bus, with a sliding door.

We soon discovered that if one person was pumping gas, and another inside would open the door, it would bash into the fuel hose.

VW moved the gas inlet in the next iteration.
Yep, as an anecdote. My dad was working for 35 years at a "tech company" here in Europe. When he went into pension all his coworkers told me what an unusual thing this was (kind of warning me that I shouldn't try to do the same haha). It is incredibly hard to make a technical career here.
> That's not google being open though

Part of what makes Android "open" is that it's available to other hardware vendors to use.

> do you think they value their custom apps more than youtube access?

I don't know - Google seem pretty happy to put a YouTube app on the iPhone, where they have zero control over the App Store, and the reason is obvious: for everything they start, and eventually abandon, eyeballs are Google's primary business metric. Do you really think they'd deliberately cut themselves off from ~25% of all mobile customers worldwide?

Restricting the play store is one thing, I doubt it's even a drop in the bucket for Google profits, and it obviously gives them some degree of control.

I don't see them playing so fast and loose with the ability to view YouTube. It's like suggesting they would block access to Google search for non-Google "android" devices. The whole reason Android exists is to drive more eyeballs to Google services.
You should have added Ruby JITs into the explanation, with the related generated Assembly code. :)

My friend is interested in math and cryptography. He has even dove into the internals of AES and SHA256 and tried to implement it himself. His birthday's very soon and I wonder if there are any interesting reads out there suitable for him.

I'm not too sure what specific field of cryptography he's particularly interested in, but I do know that he likes clever algorithms that make sense when you think about it.

We do have to think of the kids though. They are absolutely our future and will have to be capable of taking over the economy and our issues.

I've worked with people who thought parsers were straighforward and trying to fix the bugs in their code was fraught with impossibility - there can sometimes be millions of ways for parsers to accept invalid input or not accept valid input.

In one case I gave up on fixing the code where every change introduced new possible bugs and used a parser generator. We never had another bug in that part of the code but my wholesale change caused intense friction.

I feel that a course in parsers would have helped that person to understand this wasn't an appropriate situation.

In fact I think it's a good idea to have BNF "that works" before you hand code anything just to confirm that you understand your own language design.

I'm using the most recent version of Chrome unstable and Firefox Developer Edition. I think that what most people in this thread are saying is not that there's are bugs, but that the UX of the website is so nonstandard and so confusing that it feels broken.

Two examples:
- each page ("card"?!) opens in what feels like a modal dialog, but clicking outside of it doesn't close it like with normal dialogs. you must click on the tiny X button.
- Moving between cards is insanely annoying. "Next card" but no "Previous card"?! The mere fact you figured you should add a "Grid view" shows that you realized how bad this is.

my 2 cents: instead of requiring users to do like 10 clicks to go from one PAGE to another, just put the menu on the left side with the title of the different pages and let people move between them with ONE click.

Opening up a platform doesn't mean that it suddenly has to be cross-compatible with everything else. It just means that software that is written for your platform is no longer under full control of the manufacturer. Why wouldn't you want things like accessible emulators, some control over the OS, more games in general (since developers no longer have to invest thousands into licensing and proprietary software) and much more?

Besides, even if someone somehow forced, say, PlayStation to be cross-compatible with other platforms for some reason - it's not like the issues you described are exactly plaguing PCs nowadays. With very rare exceptions (like ancient or heavily modded games), the experience is pretty much "Press 'Play' on your launcher of choice -> Play game".
> No one wants to live in the same apartment complex as junkies.

You sound like you'd be shocked at how many high-functioning junkies live in most apartment complexes in most major cities. Upper-middle-class guys, holding down jobs - at least until a run of bad luck hits.
Cars are made in smaller volumes than most people imagine.

Compare to toilet paper production... Your family perhaps consumes 100 rolls of toilet paper per year, and perhaps 0.1 cars per year (typical lifetime of a car is ~20 years).

So there is 1000x the benefit to any time saving by automation on the toilet paper production line than on the car production line.
Most non technical people in my circles lose their messages every few years, when they change phones.
It had a top speed of 65, and would take miles to reach it. This made it quite a challenge to pass other cars on a 2 lane highway. You had to back off a ways behind the car in front, and floor it. When you eventually came up on its tail, it was decision time - swerve into the left and and go round, or decide it wasn't clear and slam on the brake, then repeat.

The wind was also a problem. While driving in a crosswind, you had to cant the steering wheel into the wind or you'd get blown into another lane. I quickly learned to anticipate cuts the highway went through, as the cut would block the wind and the bus would lurch one way, when coming out of the cut it would lurch the other way.

Fun, but not a car for weenies.

Or, put another way:

>Expansion of surveillance powers will only give more evidence to informed American citizens that their own government is a far greater threat to their freedom and safety than anyone in any country on the other side of the world.

Our elected officials take an oath to support and uphold the Constitution. It isn't an oath to support the undefined, "national security" of the United States. These warrantless searches are clearly in direct violation of the 4th Amendment. Any member of the government, who has sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution, is in violation of their oath when they vote to pass these blatantly Unconstitutional laws. Any judge who votes to uphold these clearly Unconstitutional laws is similarly in violation of their sacred oath.

>I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
That doesn't make the premise any less ridiculous; it's only illegal to pressure people not to make a competitor, if you make it technically impossible to have a competitor, that's all fine.

Being charitable, these are two different juries. It's a little annoying that, in a country where iOS is the dominant OS, the iOS monopolist is exonerated and the non-iOS monopolist is recognized- nonetheless this is still a big win for consumer rights.
According to my gateway, yes, I am. Not often, but often enough that the extra cost is a rounding error.
Neat, another barcode app to add to my regular phone.

Most of what I use QR codes for is copying text to my phone from a computer, especially wifi networks, since there's already a QR format for that.
Is there any direct comparison though? Because it can be alternatively argued that these dynamic languages needed new JIT techniques for performance, but they especially work well for more constrained languages like JS. I don't think Smalltalk was ever a good fit for number crunching, for example.
OK, let's do some of them, say Poznan (because I'm most familiar with it). It's hard to find median household income figures in Poznan, but you can find that average individual income in it is 22000 EUR/year, and average household income typically is something like 150% of average individual income, so let's take average household income in Poznan to be 33k EUR/year, or 16.5 EUR/hour. This gives us 120 hours/square meter, which is comparable to Seattle.

However, this becomes much worse if you look at after-tax situation. In Poland, at this pay range, your effective tax rate is 27%, whereas in Seattle it's 16%, and you have to then apply 23% VAT to your purchases, compared to 10% sales tax in Seattle.

> As for income tax, at first glance, PWC disagrees:

What specifically does it disagree about? It is well known that the effective tax rate on lower half of the population is much lower in US than in almost all of Europe, as my example comparison between US and Poland or France shows. In Europe, the middle class pays the bulk of the tax burden, whereas in US, taxation is much more progressive, and it is the wealthy who pay most of the tax.

Whether Android is open, as a separate thing from Google, has very little to do with whether Google gets sued though.

The main reason I have global entry, despite my reluctance to do so, is to avoid having to get pat-downs every time I refuse to walk through the microwave. So basically this would nullify that benefit for me.
Imo the US (and most countries) really fucked up putting Marijuana down in the same tier as hard drugs.

I feel a lot of people think since Marijuana isn't that bad, neither are the others. Which leads to the number of people voting for these 'decriminalize all drugs' policies.

Doesn't help when you see people comparing Heroin to alcohol or nicotine as well...
I think perhaps that because solutions have become so partisanly labled, we continue to fail on this. People in this thread are merely asking for common sense policies that exist in basically all other developed countries. This includes socialist countries, where oddly enough disincentives to junkie behavior mean that everyday people can live normal lives in urban places without the constant storm of drug induced bullshit degrading basically everything. Why the American progressives refuse to course correct is inscrutable to me.
Here is one, despite all the security marketing, programs inside the sandbox can still be tricked into internal memory corruption, as there is no way to prevent bounds checking inside the same linear memory segment.

So they are bound to black box attacks, where a clever sequence of function calls can eventually result in something being allowed that wasn't before, as the internal memory state of the WASM module is now corrupt.
