It's not a bad idea to strongly type the username and password so that you can't so easily pass in unexpected input to the login / can centralize validation (e.g. username and password can't be more than 100 bytes each to attempt a login). It also lets you implement things like secure erasure of the password once it gets dropped.

Weakly typing that though is a sin. I wish Rust made creating strongly typed wrappers around primitives a bit more ergonomic.

Ice age are properly defined as periods of "extensive ice sheets" at the poles, contrasted with "greenhouse periods" of no polar ice sheets (or glaciers).

Ice ages are comprised of glacial and interglacial periods. The Last Glacial Period is... a glacial period. We're currently in an interglacial. But still an ice age, since there's ice at the poles (for now anyway).
Thanks for sharing, I wasn't aware of this. I'm having trouble seeing how it differs from the byte-pair encoding algorithm. More importantly though, how can it be linear time when it's recursive and you have to tally the counts of each pair again after each merge?
> Isn't the webstack already the modern textual interface everyone is using?

I would argue that the web stack is really more of a virtual machine, or OS-agnostic application runtime, but it is not a textual interface per se (albeit it certainly can be used that way).

On the other hand, I'm looking for solid primitives to make applications talk to each other, but with structured data instead of plain text open to liberal interpretation; for terminals that don't emulate a teletype device, but make use of modern operating systems. Think of what we had before systemd—the wild west of shell scripts, layers upon layers of arcane compatibility hacks—and what we have now—a standardised, documented, structured, system management interface that works the same way everywhere (please don't lets discuss systemd here, it's just an analogy).

So rather than trying to paint NodeJS-lipstick on the TTY-pig, I'd like to see a new kind of terminal protocol that solves the UX issues of old.
Risks like this is why I don’t sell my old personal devices. A few hundred bucks is not worth the potential security compromise.
Other things the writers purposely intended but we abandoned because it was eventually obviously heinous:

Woman can't vote. People who aren't wealthy can't vote. Black people can't vote, but they ARE used to apportion voting power in Congress. No standardized system of "who takes over if someone murders the president?". A massive lame duck period when the president gets voted out.

It's only recently that congress has decided that we can't amend the constitution, despite that being such an important and essential part of how the constitution was supposed to work, that the founders put together a bunch of amendments before the constitution was even ratified. They 100% intend for the constitution to change with the times.

There's something profoundly insulting about protesters treating the general public as a simple means to an end, instead of potential allies to connect with. The way I see it, if I believe my cause is righteous, then I'd be doing it a deep disservice by presenting it in the most alienating way possible. I should want to bring people over to my side. Otherwise, it shows I'm not serious---that the cause itself is secondary to my conviction, that I'd rather be seen fighting than go home a victor.

Right but unless the decision is "never enter children into the foster system," then there will be a decision boundary that results in some amount of both false positives and false negatives[1]. We can, like you allude to, adjust the boundary to weigh them differently.

How would you relatively weigh the cost of false negatives to false positives? The relative benefit of true positive to true negatives? 1:10, 1:100, 1:1000?

But then there is a corresponding increase in property tax revenues to pay for it, so this should require no approval and just be something that happens. The city pays for the new infrastructure from the taxes paid by the new people using it.

But most people doing math in high school or university are graded on their working of a problem, with the final result usually equating to a small proportion of the total marks received

That heavily depends on the individual grader/instructor. A good grader will take into account the amount of progress toward the solution. Restating trivial facts of the problem (in slightly different ways) or pursuing an invalid solution to a dead end should not be awarded any marks.

"Someone finally made a heat pump that looks good inside your home"

The internal air handler unit looks exactly the same as any other manufacturer. It's still ugly, and it still sticks out and doesn't integrate as nicely as ducted HVAC systems. Wouldn't homes just benefit more from replacing their existing furnace+AC systems with a heat pump if it's necessary, rather than installing mini splits in each zone and running refrigerant pipes all over the outside of the housing structure.

~10y after release, such old computers had use-value. Broken? Repair or use for spare parts.

As they get older, owners understand they have collector's value. And they do - see eg. eBay prices. Even a lowly ZX Spectrum easily fetches >$50 these days.

On top of that: the machine discussed never was a cheap one. Not when new, not now. Not that many MSX2+'s were built.

Never mind that most old home computers are Robust. It's usually mechanics like connectors (easy to fix), keyboards (not so easy) or power supplies (many options there).

Depends on your philosophy.
if memory serves, Sprint had huge debts racked up from buying Nextel, as well as buying massive amounts of spectrum for WiMAX. They also purchased Clearwire. But WiMax never actually happened, everyone went to LTE, so sprint did as well.

The main reason they were attractive to T-Mobile is that large amount of spectrum they owned, which was very valuble for 5G.

Totally agree on every point and I'm not being negative, the thing is that stating the age is something most people wouldn't even think (I like to believe we all still see ourselves as kids in our minds), so if someone puts it there themselves (as opposed to being a news article written by someone else) then they are doing it for marketing purposes.

two sets can both be infinite and yet one is "larger" than the other (c.f. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleph_number).

You can establish two infinite sets are as large as one another by finding a bijection between them. These two sets would have the same "cardinality"

We know the real numbers has larger cardinality than natural numbers, but we don't know if there's anything in between -- can you construct an infinite set that has natural numbers < X < real numbers in terms of cardinality?
There's some value in observing that there is a regularity to the terms used for a particular discipline, as opposed to a jumble of organically-grown jargon. For one, it tells you that learning a seemingly-unconnected vocabulary (Greek suffixes, in this case) can help you understand terms you've never otherwise encountered in their entirety.
HN is so full of negative comments like these. OP I’m very impressed you learned all of this at 17! I started coding when I was a teenager but still haven’t released something like this 10 years later.
The reality is, when a CDMA carrier deploys LTE without deploying UMTS, there are usually compatibility layers between CDMA and LTE such as CSFB and eHRPD for when VoLTE is absent. CDMA was never designed to interoperate with LTE as LTE was built around IMEIs and SIM cards but CDMA was built around burned-in ESNs and PRLs, so LTE support was hacked on.

This is why Sprint and Verizon used whitelists: they literally couldn't accept GSM-only devices because you wouldn't be able to make a phone call (the phone would try UMTS but only the non-supported CDMA2000 can be used to actually call, so in turn no phone calls).

Sprint went further by using the CDMA provisioning system on top of LTE instead of just using SIM cards and 3GPP provisioning like most GSM and CDMA carriers. This was a nightmare for custom ROM users like me as custom ROMs were designed for GSM carriers in mind and Sprint was at best an afterthought.
straw man, and a drop in the bucket

What does this system give you over regular mini-splits? The outdoor unit on the Quilt only does two rooms. Best I can tell, then, for our small 1200 sq/ft house, we'd need a minimum of two outdoor units, probably three. And our house is a shoebox, not the 4000 sq/ft monstrosities that are common in the area. Or for $5000 from Home Depot, I can get a single outdoor unit that will drive four indoor units.

On top of the fact that anyone walking into that room will immediately think "oh, you got a mini-split!" because there's still a box hanging on the wall. Again, what am I buying here?

And at $6500/room, great googly moogly! This is either DOA or I'm missing a fundamental piece of the value.
Because it’s not as simple as you’re making it out to be. This is highly workload dependent - you can’t just connect multiple CPUs that are designed to (even with old hardware) have lightning fast connections to their neighboring hardware with a slow USB cable and expect it to just linearly multiply power. The CPUs end up actually running slower because they spend most of their time sitting around waiting for instructions to execute. This even used to be a problem with multi-GPU set ups, just much less of a factor.

This is why cluster computing is far more dependent on software being able to distribute work and load balance than the actual hardware. There exists software where you can connect random devices together in your house over Ethernet and make a cluster.

This is why every supercomputer is geared towards massive number crunching where you can break up the work into many smaller tasks and give each node a task to work on. Cluster computing sucks and is inefficient for anything resembling a normal workload.
It is hard to imagine mobile prices for a national network the size of the US. I pay less than $30 per month total for 3 lines. maybe it would be cheaper if the Sprint/TMobile merger never happened, but the adticle doesn't seem to present any hard evidence.
Hopefully it will release later this year to coincide with iOS 18. As other commenters have mentioned, it's already available for developer testing.
...which should be much faster also on CPU, I assume.
It feels crazy-making to me that information like this only exists in Reddit threads. Prioritization is, IMO, a totally valid way to price differentiate. But it should be clearly stated when you’re buying in the same way GB data limits are.
> But which is worse - letting an abused child slip through the cracks, or take a child away from an innocent family?

From a practical standpoint, taking a child away from the innocent family is worse. Even if they somehow were to "rescue" the abused child, that's pretty much a lost cause. They aren't doing it to salvage the child, but to assuage some sort of guilt that they let it happen in the first place. The child will be placed in foster care, which at its best is merely inadequate and soul-crushing, but at its worst is some gauntlet of rape and abuse itself which few children are capable of surviving psychologically intact.

So when they take the child away from the innocent family, this is almost certainly a net negative response. Instead of helping more children, they are hurting more children.

It's a very easy answer, easily reached, and solidly objective. It's just not a comfortable answer, because most people want the answer to be different.

> CPS must be one of the hardest jobs in the country.

Jobs whose premise is fundamentally defective often are the most difficult. Think of how many times someone who worked for CPS or who was affiliated with them said (cynically) something to the effect of how "no matter what we do, it seems like we're always in the wrong". Well, that's because they are.
Regulators cannot magic spectrum into existence.
Strange, and frustrating sounding - 1a each is plenty to leave the resulting plots as conformant single family housing.
Chattel slavery was sort of the extreme historical endpoint of a spectrum of forced labor and is maybe not a good model for discussion.

Is it slavery if the pharaoh demands each family provide 1 male for labor each year? Or each person has to spend a month on the pyramid. Or there's a famine and the only way for your family to get grain is to work on the pyramid?

Doesn't really feel like an interesting point to fixate on tbh. There was undoubtedly a huge amount of coercion since Egypt funneled a ton of resources into a useless project, and the pharaoh had to pay for it somehow. Whether it was heavy taxation that forced people into labor or starve, or explicit forced labor, eh.

If they aren't absolutely beyond any doubt certain that the child is being neglected or abused, then yes of course they shouldn't do anything

Their job is to protect at risk kids, not just shuffle kids to new homes

The foster system does overall help abused children, but fostered kids don't have as good outcomes in general as non-fostered kids
