well, the very first message in the thread said:

> Learning array languages makes you a better programmer in any other language. The way you think changes. We are taught to approach a problem procedurally. Actually the for loop is your enemy.

I happen to strongly agree with most of this: learning array-based "operations", writing the code where "the for loop is your enemy" is a very valuable experience, and if will make you a better programmer in any language. Everyone should try writing some code like this.

The problem is K is a mix of three things: array-based operations, point-free style / tacit programming, and extreme brevity via punctuation abuse and lack of types. And not all of them are equally useful.

It's like trying to introduce someone to Chinese cuisine and giving them the spiciest Hunan dish there is. Unless the person already happened to love spicy food, the chances they will just write-off the entire cuisine.

I bet there people today who associate "array programming" with obscure character soup of APL/J/K and ignore it because of that. Who knows, maybe if they knew that numpy/octave offers the same thing in more palatable package, there would be more arrays and less "for" loops in the world.
back in 2003 i had a shitty little job at one of the newest "SEO" companies. A team of two brothers, me, and their highschool buddy who admitted he thought he was just there because he was like a bouncer incase someone harassed them at the office.

i hired this kid who worked at fry's electronics, he was about 20. He was a genius programmer and worked for us for about a year. I eventually got fired because I needed to consult and they said i was passing company secrets by telling customers to use title and h1 tags lol.

Anyway, I had an interview with a contracting company for a tellme contract they were one of the first VOIP XML companies. I went to the interview and told them to hire this kid I knew, they did. TellMe eventually got acquired by MS
Because your job at this type of company is to train junior engineers. That might not be a priority elsewhere, so the idea is to get you to work elsewhere instead.

Of course it's big news, there's a whole trade conference[1] about it and a lot of money to be made in loss prevention that has a story[2] that constructs the problem.

There's no money to be made in wage theft and certainly no trade organization or trade conference to create buzz regarding wage theft.

Agreed, the problem with ternary on a binary level is that it requires twice the bit width to represent it. For example a normal binary element is 0/1 now you need, -1/0/+1, in turn you now need two 0/1 0/1 to represent a ternary which is inefficient. It also means it is incomplete as there will always be a 4th binary placeholder. Putting 3 into 2 is wasteful.

I would prefer if we just made some silicon for this.
Seems like you want something like OCaml then.

I think it's more that the effective idea is the same, while the core idea is what is so vastly different. He was arguing as if light was affected by gravity.

Yes that's how Cloudfare works. The TLS certificate for basically any website using Cloudflare "ends" at Cloudflare's servers. It's then either forwarded on to the actual servers in cleartext or re-encrypted with an internal company certificate (maybe signed internally as well) to pass the connection on to the actual servers. It was the easy way many companies who didn't have the expertise to do their own certificate management moved from the http world to the https world. They just handed it off to cloudflare and kept their servers running http.

F5 Networks, my former employer, sells something similar, but it's a box (or virtual appliance) you put in your own data centers somewhere that dead-ends the connection instead.
Honestly I don't have a problem with it, big-picture wise.

We're in a tug-of-war with YouTube: we want perfect service for no cost to us, and they want all our money with no cost to themselves.

It's great if we can find some common ground. But if not, I'll adapt.

(I'm not denying that YT content has value for me. I just don't think they're obligated to provide it for a price I'm willing to pay.)
Everyone always says that right before it happens.
Surprisingly I’m actually working on projects more. I’m turning 30 this year and my world view has only been affirmed more and more everyday.

Life is a ladder you keep climbing up on. There’s water beneath and it gets higher and higher. I suppose most people are fatalistic in this climb.

I’ve met a few successful business owners and their life isn’t any more secure than mine. We’re all on the ladder unless we have power. Money isn’t power; power is power.

Anyway. I’ve been trying to build a small company with my friend. Just something that will give us some breathing room from climbing.

I sympathize with a lot of you on here though. Technology hasn’t been all that we hoped. In fact- quite the opposite.

Most self aware tech people are tired of the society they helped build and would prefer to live away from it.
That’s not why it didn’t happen. The Web took off in 1995; Google was the first really good web search facility, and it arrived in 1998. There were earlier ones (I remember using AltaVista), but generally if you wanted to find things before Google you used either a directory like Yahoo or other web pages to find stuff.

We also don’t know what “index and ranking for search” would have looked like in a HyperCard-style web paradigm. Something like Google could work; it would have to be a sophisticated enough to parse stacks instead of HTML, but we’re already deep into an alternate universe, so I’ll stop here.

Also, “index and ranking for search” is probably a bad thing. SEO has absolutely destroyed the web.
Yeah Lupus triggered later in life has probably other causes that remain unclear

Good for discovery and learning. I used to use PictureThis and PictureFish for trees and fish, respectively, so that I could learn what things were. Trying to describe the thing to Google and getting a straight answer is useless - those types of app are magical.

Over time you've learned them all, and don't need it anymore. I could see using binocs like these for the same reason.
Finding little nuggets of content feels totally different than what the author is talking about to me, where it feltmlile there were whole other worlds out there.

Parker had built her own little microcosm. The web was more distinct weird different experiences, poorly connected, than it was anything else.

In some ways this article is about the end of a digital dualism. There used to be different spheres, where the digital was it's own place & was voyaged into. Now the bleed over between the physical and information space is immense. Sure we can still have some voyaging and disocovery, but what you are describing is more like using a metal detector to look for anonymous bits, rather than jaunting around across little infospheres. There is no digital dualism.
(I think conflating JavaScript and Flash with HyperCard is a mistake.)
I'm sick and tired of "core competency" rhetoric. Business management should not rigidly follow the UNIX philosophy, there's plenty of reasons you wouldn't want to outsource everything.

Furthermore, while those core competencies might sound correct to Boeing, they wouldn't sound like it to Boeing's customers. You're paying Boeing for a plane and support, not a trading company that can find five other companies who can outsource each task to a different firm that delegates responsibility to...

in the mid-90s it was often the only option for >14.4kbps internet in residential areas. unfortunately the tariffs charged by the minute for voice and data calls so it was prohibitively expensive (at least for our household).

the hack (in the US) was that ISDN was often offered as part of "centrex" service which was a sort of phone company managed PBX-as-a-service offering. so rather than businesses setting up their own local mini telephone switch (a PBX) that they'd hang all their extension phones off of, they'd just get ISDN phones and connect directly to the phone company and have the phone company manage it all. the trick was that "intercom" calls within a centrex were unmetered (think intra-office calling), so an approach to building an ISP would have been to sign up for centrex service and then install a branch phone on that centrex at each customer site, then all calls into the ISP would be intercom calls and would be subject to unmetered tariff.

i used to drool over the idea of one day getting my hands on an ascend pipeline 50 and its sweet, sweet 128kbps of bandwidth. then one day i finagled a visit to a local software company and met the founder who was struggling with getting one working (it was paired with one in his home, so he could make use of the company's t1). he jokingly offered that if i could get it working he'd offer me a job: 45 minutes later the link was up and few hours after that i was shaking hands with the head of engineering as they made good on the founder's word. fun times!

Show HN: Citadel – a Calibre-compatible eBook management app
Hey folks! This winter I've been building Citadel to scratch my itch of managing ebooks without using Calibre. Calibre is incredibly powerful, but it's slow and awkward to use.

I dreamed of writing a native app (and originally tried this in Swift), but ran into issues building the UI. Plus, whatever I built would only work on macOS. I started writing Citadel using Tauri (Svelte on the frontend + Rust on the backend) to have a cross-platform desktop app. Plus, Citadel supports running in a headless / webbrowser mode. You can self-host a Citadel server that manages your library, and connect to it from anywhere with the web.

This is SUPER early software. Honestly, I'm a bit embarrassed to post it here — but I wanted folks to know that I'm building a tool to replace Calibre. If you'd like to help build it, I'd love the help! If you just want to follow the journey, please do!

Sure, that makes sense. How else would you propose that it work?

You went from "the facts supported the reason" to "we don't have all the facts necessary to know if the facts supported the reason." to "from the facts we know, the reason seems sus."

In my view, the problem is these do not solve a real problem in birding.

Binoculars are best when looking with the eyes. Fatigue from holding an object at eye level is a serious issue, so they need to be as light as possible. Swarovski is well known as a first-rate manufacturer of bins.

Cameras with expensive lenses are best for taking photos. With expensive glass and stabilization, they have the "reach" to get enough resolution of the target. Then they can fire off a dozen photos in quick succession and once in a while will capture a genuinely good photo.

Seems to me this product is aimed at people with more money than sense. Too heavy and will take too long to id the bird. There's a reason only gimmicky binoculars come with the ability to take photos.
Submitting your sitemap is the first step, which allows Google to find your URLs easier, but it won't request indexing by itself.

You have the option to go to the Google Search Console and request indexing manually for pages that are listed as "Discovered - Not indexed" or similar, but this is limited to 10 requests per day.

This tool uses Google's Indexing API to perform URL indexing requests on your behalf on auto-pilot for pages that are not yet indexed.

Yes, for unrelated reasons I was thinking of this too this morning. There's an NFL playoff game only on Peacock.

Or perhaps some show I've heard about. I want to "subscribe to peacock for a month". The service should create my account, (if it doesn't exist) and then after a month just (auto) suspended it.

In other words I want a one-button press every month, the first time I use a streaming service that month. Plus show me whatever is currently activated.

Live events aside, I'm happy to rotate my viewing, one month Netflix, one month peacock, and so on. Amazon is a fallback (prime for other reasons. )

I can easily go months not using one platform. So there's savings (so hence worth subscribing to)

Alternatively make a one-button click in the month to "keep next month / suspend next month)

Gould's statement is empty - there is no way to quantify it, so everyone assigns their own value to his statement. You may think its more than X,000,000, I think its 0.

So now it's you and me arguing past each other because there is no way to agree. And millions of other people who have to manage it.

And yes, it does matter what the number is, because that is what is being done to justify X seats into many workplaces and universities. There is always a cost for training + development, and all of it can go to waste at any time.

The original comment said learning "array languages". There's some debate about what that means, but generally it means APL/J/K/etc not numpy/matlab/etc.

As far as I can tell (correct me if I'm wrong) you haven't learned an array language, yet you're telling someone who has (and anyone else who reads your message) not to bother.

To use your food analogy, this is like saying "Don't try real Chinese food in a restaurant, just cook some rice at home. Same thing."

I strongly suspect there absolutely is. Just look at the legions of patients suffering from long COVID (which btw, is still a thing even if you get vaccinated, though getting vaccinated significantly improves your chance of living and uh...not getting long COVID or sometimes even COVID to begin with), and compare the symptoms of those patients that had sepsis, septic shock, or were in the ICU for some reason. To see folks with the exact same reason with nothing else similar is kind of mind blowing.

The virus <-> human relationship is something we are long overdue to understand.

I could practically write it on my gravestone.

P.S. You folks don't want COVID or PICS or any other disease, so please get vaccinated, keep ALL your vaccines up to date. Oh and if you aren't vaccinated for measles, please do so, because if you aren't vaccinated against it and catch it, you have to do every single one of those vaccinations all over again because your buddy "M" reset your immune system.

This. It's open source so I highly recommend people take this into their own hands and clone the repo. There's many forks people use anyway such as TachiyomiAz.

One thing to remember is that Tor was created by the government, specifically to encrypt the communication of CIA spies. They released it to the public specifically to provide plausible deniability to those spies. So backdooring the protocol right out of the gate would be an own goal.

That being said, I have no clue if they still use it. Presumably if the US government found a vulnerability in Tor, they'd either stop using it, or run some other layer of encryption on top.
