> Git, or any file-server based software, is not built to scale up well in today's world. Large Git hosters have to invest entire teams to manage their file servers and their Git front-end systems to create a web-scale service on top of a file-server based piece of software. I'm just skipping to the part where you don't need that anymore because Azure / GCP / AWS PaaS services already handle that.

This doesn't really make any sense. Most people are not "large Git hosters" (and so for them there is no functional difference between "outsourcing Git hosting" and "outsourcing to a Grace hoster that is outsourcing file handling", and even for those who are large Git hosters, they're still going to need a team of sysadm- sorry, "cloud experts" to manage the AWS/Azure/whatever infrastructure.

What actual material benefit is being provided here? It seems to me like it just trades "administrating a standard hosting environment" in for "administrating a vendor-locked hosting environment".
I have a genuine question. As someone who has been a member of the crypto community for a long time, Ive seen wallets come and go. They are notoriously hard to maintain and generate revenue from.

Why would you choose to get into this space now?

And why should I believe your service will be around long enough to make it worth integrating?
The analogous situation is that the business that you own, which is what the stock represents, also pays property tax. When you sell the house that you lived in, you can get a section 121 exclusion, allowing you to keep the profit tax free.
Only if you're designing both functions ahead of time. In other words, it's not composable.

I've been working on a similar project (LEGO Island decompilation). We've developed an extensive set of annotations and corresponding tools that facilitate matching the assembly/binary:

https://github.com/isledecomp/isle/tree/master/tools

We've been considering creating a separate project/repository for the tools since they might be interesting for other projects such as yours as well.
Back in the day, the parallel port was awesome for hobbyist hardware hacking. You could 'bit bang' and basically use the pins as general-purpose I/O pins.

Rather than the bespoke setup described in the article, I guess the most-common equivalent these days is a USB connection to a Raspberry Pi or Arduino or similar?
NAC makes me severely dyspeptic.
Long COVID is a persistent infection of the SARS-Cov2 virus. All such persistent viral infections, think HIV or hepatitis, are treated with long courses of one or more antivirals.
Maybe I missed it, but could not find much on the origin of Star Wars. I was hoping to find some deep analysis on the original work to build the saga. From early 1970's.

George Lucas created a great story with rich visuals from lots of various prior art, that I find interesting to understand (e.g. source: https://www.wired.com/2016/01/valerian-laureline-star-wars/)
Oh how I miss the language lawyers in C++. Some really elevated it to a high calling.
I think the efforts do make the markets more efficient, and it would be hard to argue the opposite.

I'm just wondering out loud if that's a meaningful use of such a large percentage of top talent. I'm not faulting anyone who chooses to go that way. There's a lot of money to be made. To me, it seems unfortunate that we don't better incentive pursuit of science/engineering.

This paper breaks down how many people from top schools (MIT, Yale, Harvard) get jobs in finance. It's between 20-30% of the graduating class every year.

His son, Rhys, was scheduled to have strabismus surgery in January, correcting an eye issue that made it difficult for him to walk on his own. The procedure cost $10,000 out of pocket. Doherty discussed the decision with his wife, and while she wanted him to be able to quit, they both knew the kids needed his health insurance.[0]

How about destroying the wealthy because they ultimately decide if your child will get medical treatment?

I don't get your objection. (-1,1) uniform distribution is equivalent to uniform distribution over (-inf, +inf) when it comes to roots. Because you can map one to one between those intervals without affecting roots.

Yes of course. 40 xhr requests to load a single page. Developers with no clue on the impact on what they are doing.

Right, a rule of thumb is that if the Daily Mail has a good story, you can always find a better link.

If only the Daily Mail has it, then it's not a good story.

In this case, go upstream until you reach NOAA.
I've heard stories of professors getting letters in the mail from RenTech totally out of the blue. They pay so well that I'm surprised they even accept applications. Don't feel too bad about not passing their bar. What they've accomplished is essentially unheard of, and believed to be impossible by a lot of market theorists.
Frankly it’s bizarre. He was a fantastic rock musician who seemed to forget where delta blues, jazz, bluegrass comes from. They drew on older traditions but were distinctly American culture. Maybe his point was really that it’s not popular culture but you can criticize any country’s pop culture.

edit: I'm surprised at the downvote. I'm a huge Zappa fan. I know that he was into many kinds of music. That is why I find it strange that he doesn't even consider the rich tradition of American folk music to be part of our culture.

So which is it, am I wrong that he was a great musician? Am I wrong about the rich tradition of American folk music? Am I wrong about pop culture in other countries? Is it because I didn't mention country music?
Strong geomagnetic storm reaches Earth, continues through weekend
If you came looking for actual numbers the closest they come is saying "in vibration-mediated suppression mode it could reduce sound transmission up to 75%".
This is a little bit silly because it glosses over the fact that since some people are evil, we want to limit the blast radius of the damage they can cause. One person switching signs for mischiefs sake has a few victims. One person exploiting a vulnerability that’s shared by X% of vehicles is a very different matter
I would like to think that the servers that run ACH networks, IBM mainframes that actually store your account balance, etc are shielded from CME and even an EMP.

But the vulnerable side then becomes the power grid and Internet backbone. Part of a resilient disaster plan would be to allow ACH and other payment traffic to take priority if we were relegated to a low bandwidth connection. If we cannot transfer money, we will collapse, plain as that, once panic over food security sets in.

An EE friend said that we do not have enough transformers to replace if a critical number of them fried. Substation level components could be a huge bottleneck if we had another Carrington event.

> I don't know the Apple ecosystem much, but on Android, it's very well known that this is a quick way to get completely banned from the Play Store.

You're describing the behavior of the store rather than the expected behavior of the developers. Of course a developer is going to try to create a new account, you just broke their existing account for unexplained reasons and this is their primary source of income. They have to fix it right away or their business is destroyed, and it's just as well known that appeals are often capriciously denied without recourse. So how is it suspicious behavior? It's the same thing you'd expect someone to do even if they're naive and innocent.

> I don't like that this is the way it's handled, but don't disagree with it either or it'd be a fast path to bypassing quality and compliance checks in the app stores.

In order for this to be reasonable you'd need the appeals process to be both swift and accurate, and yet it isn't.

It also goes without saying that any actual scams are just going to do it anyway, and make up new company names etc. as necessary, so it seems like all they're doing here is punishing innocent people who try to open a new account using the same information, because unlike the scammers they're actually using a consistent identity.
Your laser is in the high tens of megawatts, perhaps even low hundreds. That's quite capable of shooting pretty much anything out of the sky. You had better keep the beam perfectly on target. And what's the target, anyway? How do you convert that kind power into propulsion with very high efficiency? (If your efficiency isn't good enough your plane melts.)
You'd have to sacrifice the returns if you want bigger size. For every trade you do, there will be expected return (+ve) and then some costs to pay (-ve). Commissions and similar costs are only linear so not terrible. With increasing size, the market impact cost that's non-linear will soon overwhelm all other costs. So you keep adding alpha in your forecasts (via your research pipeline), that will be eaten away by the impact cost, as you scale up. If you keep it small (-ish - still gross pfolio will be billions) - then you will get to keep high returns.
If you allow complex coefficients then the distribution is rotationally symmetric in the complex plane. So a root is no more likely to be in the real line than in any other line through the origin. There would be vanishingly few polynomials with largest root real.
It just doesn't matter. If my coffee is $5, it's $5. It doesn't matter to me if $4.75 of that is coffee and $0.25 is tax, or if $4.50 of that is coffee and $0.50 is tax. I'm paying the same amount either way. I'm not going to suddenly decide not to buy it depending on the tax rate.
[x] Strongly Agree.

Also, the focus on how these devices are increasingly consumer only instead of me being able to use my device to create

Disclaimer: one of my goals is to build apps for my machine on the machine itself. I had this working on the now defunct Firefox phone OS (Its apps were deployed as Zipped HTML/JS and related resources -- I cobbled together a dev environ out of a few browser based tools).

TL;DR: I'm a tool-using creator-type species, The modern "CONSUME ONLY" device craze makes my eye twitch; Ads that reinforce destruction of tools make me want to join fight club.
This was exactly my setup for like 4 years a few years ago.

MacOS was the host and it was immediate boot into Debian VM and it was my main machine I used to dev every day.

Pros and cons: I switched to parallels vm software from virtualbox because it just seemed to run a LOT smoother which meant the machine ran dramatically cooler. I think this was due to the graphics driver - higher frame rates and no display glitches

I’m not a gamer but very occasionally I like to play older strategy games - this I did outside the Linux vm, since high performance graphics wasn’t good inside the vm as one would expect.

I allocated like 90% of the system RAM (machine was an Intel Mac with 64GB of ram) to the vm

Once inside the booted machine running full screen it felt native, I would forget I was in a vm

To be clear, I think it sucks that META is shuttering CroudTangle!

HOWEVER,

Have you compared Meta's ad library or their coming replacement for CrowdTangle with what is offered as transparency by TikTok in the USA?

Try to find US based ads at https://library.tiktok.com/ads then come back and talk about how great TikTok is with respect to "transparency".
I happened across a nice one when I was in Denver, recently. It's called Akihabara. Tons of imported Japanese cabinets (including Taiko no Tatsujin and Typing of the Dead), and a bar with imported beers, sake and house cocktails. I wish I'd had a smartcard for saving progress, but it was only something I found out about during the trip.

I'm definitely more into the 90s and early 2000s era of arcade games than 80s stuff (and the seat-friendly JP cabinets are nice) so I enjoyed the opportunity to play games that are hard to find here, and bring back memories of wandering (relatively lackluster) bowling alley arcades with a pocket of quarters.
Also regulatory capture, self-certification and "cleared" devices equal failure.

"FDA approved" should require an external verification process for every update.

It should also imply waterflow-like software development processes and safety engineering.

At the division between consumer and medical, no smartphone nor any malicious radio shall be able to induce denial-of-service or any sort of dangerous failure in any medical device in ordinary circumstances.
It was definitely a dorky question, and a glaring sign of the interviewer's lack of maturity to blithely burn through your precious time in this manner.

But if you're going to play Google's game, this what you're going to get apparently. So what was your answer? One guesses that they weren't so much interested in a correct answer (since it's a bullshit question anyway) but that you were willing to give it a college try (and reference some concepts about limits, and perhaps the geometric layout of this "file system" in the Doctor Who universe they were apparently hoping to roll out this system in, the speed of light, etc).

In order to, you know, pass their dipshit filter.
Depends on the cloud provider. Some take regional independence (and even further, availability-zone independence) more seriously than the others.

Or to state it even more definitively, only one of the public cloud providers offers clear guarantees of availability-zone disaster recovery independence, never mind regions.

And it's not Google's or Microsoft's.
Yeah an unpopular and maybe socially inconvenient thing to say at parties, but the more I manage operational teams, the more I find this true. Bureaucracy stoops down to the lowest common denominator of the group. Smart people capable of self-motivating and self-organizing don’t need a lot of bureaucratic structure if given enough incentive and freedom.

Being promised millions is a lot of incentive.

I think we're maybe gleefully posting past each other, but the point I'm trying to hit is that business models matter. Stack overflow provides a service. It's a good service. They host a great q&a platform for developers and myriad other category enthusiasts.

However, they have a business model. They are categorically different than eg Wikipedia. It's important to understand that.

This business model matters because it tells you what economic forces will lead them to do. When business models break down at public companies they commit acts of desperation. On an ad run site that will mean more ads, more invasive ads, etc.

As you're forced to sit through 30s unskippable ads on YouTube I hope you think "I'm so glad this is free"

Finally somebody on HN getting attention for mentioning this sad truth.

Usually even the least criticism on this 'holy' language [that emphasizes 'intent' and glorifies people who truly understand 'const correctness!' and the correct usage of dynamic_cast] gets immediately downvoted.

The sad truth being, tons of impossible to understand code bases exist in the wild, due to, for example, the mix of old, less old and new memory handling strategies having been applied.
Not really, 120Hz produces a noticeable improvement over 60Hz, unlike "golden boutique speaker wire", just like 4k produces a noticeable improvement over 1080p.

It's not like everyone is going to be able to tell whether a given display is 60Hz or 120Hz, but all other things being identical, they will probably be able to tell which display is faster after using both.

Higher refresh rates tighten the feedback-response loop, creating a smoother and more direct interface to the computer, which is generally perceived as desirable.

Consider VR, where HMDs often have to refresh at 90Hz or 120Hz in order to reduce motion sickness. This actually isn't that different than operating a computer. The brain tends to quickly get very upset when it can't reconcile your visual field with your felt position in space, but even though most people don't get motion sick from looking at a computer display (some do), the refresh rate certainly affects it feels to use the display.
There seems to be a logical fallacy in the post.

"We didn't pick up on xLSTM because our data was small and not discriminative enough. So xLSTM is bad on larger data as well (even though we likely can't / couldn't pick out self-attention either)."

Regardless, the conclusion in itself is also easily invalidated, since the xLSTM paper itself has benchmarks against GPT-3 on a 15B token dataset.

Digression: I'm increasingly noticing just how bad the scientific community - across all STEM fields - is when it comes to epistemology.

This is infinitely worse in fields like humanities, since they can't even test their bs theories unless they are violent "revolutionaries".

Hopefully, with all the AI hype-bubble, good philosophy may finally be funded (and that "Ph.D" might actually not sound like an ironic joke).
In London properties are often owned by offshore companies who are in turn owned by other offshore companies whose only reason to exist is to hide the beneficial owner. Puncturing those structures is only possible if you are a determined hacker, journalist, or secret service.

It's also usually inherently composable, since you can pipe and redirect and everything speaks a common language (plaintext, for better and worse). If you just naively implement a cli tool, you usually end up with something that can reasonably be chained or redirect into/out of or combined with xargs etc.

It's like if every single GUI program included easy recording of macros and had built-in tools for munging of data to input fields and from text information.

There is a really solid place for GUI tools though and that's where the task is inherently visual (nontrivial tabular data, anything with images or video, etc) or where discovering your features and guiding people through a workflow is more important than it playing a part in a text processing pipeline.

Honestly, file managers are probably a good example of something that really ought to be a GUI and I've always considered it a bit zealous of people to want a TUI for it. Just look at this thread alone - people accidentally deleting files because navigation and actions are so undiscoverable that if you don't just blindly copy vim, even highly technical people will have no idea how to use your tool.
The r/piano subreddit is full of amateur pianists who own a high-quality digital piano who share their experiences playing a grand piano for the first time. 99% of the time, they express astonishment, amazement, and their wish to someday own a grand piano. 1% of the time, they complain that the grand piano they played on was way out of shape and was difficult to tame.

For a lot of people, and it seems yourself included, a digital piano is an excellent compromise. It gets the job done, but if all else were equal and circumstances permitted, such people would still prefer to own a grand piano, for significant and non-negligible reasons.

Cool to see krystalgamer here on HN. I found them a few years ago through the (then super tiny) SM2000 modding scene on youtube. It was my first 3D game, and I still have dreams about the graphics. Their work on the resource unpacker utility allowed me to make custom skins of my own characters for the game, which I screenshotted and used for a comic. It's weird: I often think and dream in the visual language of that game.

Anywayyyyy, will be following this development more closely now. Would be really cool to eventually see some type of level editor for this game, or maybe a multiplayer server (akin to this Bomb Rush Cyberfunk mod: https://thunderstore.io/c/bomb-rush-cyberfunk/p/NotNet/SlopC... )
