I would like to point out that side projects and open source work is more useful as a new grad seeking employment than a junior.

In my experience (as a junior 8ish years ago), companies were not interested in my projects or open source work at all, even when it pertained to the same domain. I'd say if you want to work in open source to make yourself more hireable, to pick a high visibility project that companies may already know (like WordPress, Redis, React, etc.).

> This decreases combined utility of you and your counter-party.

The counterparty tends to have an edge. Roulettes have zeros, bookies get a cut, etc. I guess on a poker table everyone thinks that they have an edge but they can't all be right.
You know what must feel weird? Being one of the folks paid to lobby against changes like this.
Good in theory, but try that on a project with real customers and you’ll get a very simple “remove it and we’re done here” /shrug. Team’s processes and decision chain must have agreed to enforce this already, and that above is just a symptom

Ah ok.. not three routers then, but three pieces of network equipment. I have a similar set up (well, I have more like 10 things on including switches and NAS). I was speaking to a colleague the other day and he was saying how his network is annoying and it turned out he actually was using two routers. That second wireless AP should be just an access point, not a router (some have two modes).

Two separate appliances really was more efficient. The European models were vastly more efficient than the American ones (European ones were like A+ rating; American were like F with not much in between). I think the American style ones are a bit better now, though (they're probably European specific models).
It's in this digital age, where I seem to have an infinite roll of film, that I have come to appreciate not the look necessarily of analog but the scarcity of those photos.

I have medium format cameras, a few 35mm, and I take them with me from time to time when on trips for example. There is certainly much more care per shot since I have so few (especially with the medium format that has only 12 shots per roll).

For better or worse, the anticipation, waiting for the film to be processed, is something of course not shared with digital.

And further I linger over the photos more afterward because of how precious they are. And when you capture a "happy accident" — perhaps an interesting, artistic looking light flare in the right place, the film shot becomes even more precious.

With regard to "excessive concern with prettifying minutia", I'm thinking of e.g. code reviews where people spend significant attention going back and forth on minor stylistic issues.

Another example: I remember a coworker reviewing code I wrote many years ago. I came up with a solution that was reasonably simple and workable, but wasn't the "right" way to do it. My coworker complained, I pointed out various reasons the "right" way wasn't practical, and they said something like "yeah but it has to be right" (without suggesting any concrete plan). Very frustrating -- I don't think it was particularly important code.

Working on my own, I already have a sense of how much effort I want to spend on code quality. When you add code review on top of that, it can feel a little excessive, depending on the importance of the application.

I actually have a lot more memories of code review frustration than code review gratitude. At my next job I would like to experiment more with code "previews" or design reviews -- that seems more efficient than rewriting code which already works.

If i put on the shoes of shop lifter for just a moment

I am looking for something to steal to support my drug addiction.

I creep along the aisles to find something worth stealing.

I am on constant watch for those beady eyed shop assistants who might catch me.

No one is sight, so I slip the contraband under my baggy overcoat and make my way to the entrance door to make my escape.

No shop assistant saw me and obviously it was not recorded on any of their body worn cameras.

This is just another excuse to introduce more intrusion into the average persons life while shopping and those poor staff having the management team being able to watch and listen to them while they go about their job.

We are just drowning in stupid news opinion that is begging for clicks and not irrelevance.

I learned absolutely nothing from this article. Just a total waste of time to read.

Continue letting them utilize it, among other things because it saves lives and helps people find employment, at least according to the article.

But perhaps dying is preferable to “learning the ways of the white people”. And quoting hysteria is preferable for journalists because it can be turned into a more clickable title.
If you go and read it, it's a lot less clear than the title suggests. Worries about young people trying out first person shooters in real life, as proclaimed by older people has been around for a while and started in the 1960s with road racer a "brutally violent game". It's a common sentiment from ignorant people. So when these same people say internet bad, I take that with a serving of salt. I'm sure social media and porn affect people in meaningfully bad ways. But claiming it's clear cut, I find intellectually dishonest.
You can calculate the probabilities and expected number of collisions analytically, but evaluating the expressions numerically is tricky for large numbers. I can recommend https://herbie.uwplse.org/ to rewrite the expressions into a form that can be evaluated.
Ah I looked over it in my skim.
The good news is that modern systems are so unpredictable relative to each other that games can be relied upon to not require cycle-accuracy. IIRC the cycle timings can differ between different units of the same model.
Another advantage to film is the wide variety of formats. Sure, you can always crop or stitch, but I like to take 3 different medium format cameras with different aspect ratios when I go out shooting.

And waist-level shooting is very nice. I don’t have a digital camera with an articulating screen that would let me compare experiences, but my TLR is a great way to get different angles and shoot street photography without being as obnoxious about it.
Insurance is not always a for profit enterprise. There are very many “mutuals” who are literally owned by their policy holders.

It’s better if you want an out of the box secure experience. This might be quite a nice default for some VPSs.

If you have a IDS and IPS set up then you’re already enterprise enough that you want your logs shipped and managed by a single pane of glass. This new SSH feature isn’t intended to solve enterprise-level problems.

Plus if you want to argue about “unix philosophy” with regards to SSH then why aren’t you kicking off about SOCKS, file transfer, port forwarding, and the countless other features SSH has that aren’t related to “shell” part of SSH? The change you’re moaning about has more relevance than most of the other extended features people love SSH for.

The example of financial derivatives is really strong: on the market it's basically a form of gambling. Will this thing go up and down? Noone knows, but you're a genius if it works and a loser if not. But if you own something and hedge by e.g. getting puts it's a form of insurance.

So the instrument is the same, it's the intent that makes it different.
Livia. She's named in the phrase just before that. The full quote is:

"When Agrippa gave up the ghost, untimely fate, or the treachery of their stepmother Livia, cut off both Lucius and Caiusº Caesar, Lucius on his road to the Spanish armies, Caiusº — wounded and sick — on his return from Armenia. Drusus had long been dead, and of the stepsons Nero survived alone. On him all centred. Adopted as son, as colleague in the empire, as consort of the tribunician power, he was paraded through all the armies, not as before by the secret diplomacy of his mother, but openly at her injunction"

That's Livia Drusilla, also Iulia Augusta, wife of Emperor Augustus and mother of Emperor Tiberius.

Augusta was the honorific title of Roman Empresses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Augustae

An Empress is kind of a special case :-)
I agree, but then you need buffers in the process, which mostly isn't happening in corporate agile land from my experience.

Just Use Semantic Versioning
Bitcoin certainly went up a lot in the early years and if you got in then you benefitted from price appreciation.

There’s no doubt about what happened in the past but the future is unknown. I can’t rule out that Bitcoin could go up in the future but I can also see the price going sideways or “trading in a range”
They have employees on the floor?? I've never seen one. If the story had been about new, improved ceiling cameras, I'd have believed it. But businesspeople's paranoia knows no bounds. This must trace back to one district manager being carpeted for a microscopic increase in shrinkage.

Temporary success while they feed their downfall?
As a general rule, all first movers have an advantage, but that advantage came at risk. Bitcoin has been around 15 years now. So, where have you been?

Those first people had something that effectively had no value for a long time. Others joined and invested in mining hardware and didn't see a return for years. Still more came and the future was uncertain for a long time but people continue to spend real money taking a high risk that there would ever be a reward on them.

I myself acquired 4 bitcoins through mining pools way back in the day when they weren't worth anything. My brother did around 50 and when Bitcoin hit $100 he sold it because he didn't think it would get any higher. I held on to mine and I still have them to this day because no matter where the price got to for myself I never really cared. Although the price as it is right now I am considering selling and taking out my investment. But for a long time it was nothing.

Additionally I had an opportunity to allow Bitcoin payments on a website that sold virtual items. This was back when Bitcoin was quite literally worth nothing but also since we were selling virtual items they were effectively worth and nothing as well. I didn't take the risk of setting up a system for Bitcoin payments because I didn't have faith that it would become anything. Looking back that was a foolish mistake on my part because the amount of effort to set it up versus the reward that I would have today means I would never have to have a job again.

So when you talk about being new to bitcoin and those who have been in it a long time having an unfair advantage. It is not an unfair advantage that they took risk they made a gamble in many cases. Their rewards, I believe, is commiserate with their risk that they took and the faith and perseverance they had. Those who got in later viewed it more as an investment, which still carries some risk, but far less risk than those who initially amassed a great deal of coins.

If you look back at the vanguard s&p 500 fund, do you consider the initial investors is having an unfair advantage? Because those investors have seen a massive amount of profits. Same thing with Berkshire Hathaway. I think you're looking at it wrong as seeing the initial investors is having some unfair advantage it's simply that they took a greater risk and they have received a greater reward. The rewards are there for you now like any investment but as it stabilizes those rewards go down because the risk goes down substantially.
I think, most close point, to think of it like additional dimension.

For example, imagine we live on 2D infinite plane, and once found out, that in some places, moving on for example for 1km, we see same shift as with moving linearly (to be more exact, by some arc or some polygonal line) by other route for 100km (really need much less to prove topological defect, just standard scientific 3-sigma difference from our model is enough), so this mean, we have crease on space-time topology (and possible, some sort of wormhole, or just holes on plane and controllable way to navigate/move from one hole to other and move between hole and our plane).
You will still get better results when avoiding the bias, even with a non-CSPRNG. Their bias is much smaller.

Avoiding the division can be faster, especially if you sample many numbers from the same range. But it depends on the use case.

A simpler way of explaining it is that both activities have a negative expected value but insurance usually reduces variance while gambling increases it.

In the context of money variance is usually synonymous with instability and unpredictability. Those things are bad and it’s worth paying a fairly priced premium to avoid them.

In simple math terms gambling is essentially the opposite dynamic. Of course things that are unpredictable can be entertaining, which is why gambling is correctly viewed as a form of entertainment.

Shopping is now concentrated on retail estates and the "high streets" are almost always pedestrianised making it harder to injury the various drunks, junkies and homeless which now (ironically) call the high street "home".

Why are most of the images missing on that page though?

It's not the first time I notice this — sometimes some images or SWFs or other resources on a page would be just gone, with "hrm, the wayback machine hasn't archived this URL" with seemingly no rhyme or reason. It's just kinda odd that this article talks about finding an image and points you to a page where only 2 out of 14 images were preserved without addressing this.
There are many pedestrianized high streets in the UK.

If you go to OpenStreetMap Overpass with this query: https://overpass-turbo.eu/?template=key-value&key=highway&va... then browse to somewhere in the UK and click "Run" you'll get a map.

Show HN: I made a web game that makes practicing basic arithmetic fun
Hey, maker here.

After launching a daily word search game, I randomly thought of this math game while driving. Finally got around to making it and I think it turned out pretty cool.

It’s a math search game that’s meant to help you practice your quick addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills.

I’m hoping it’ll help people (even those like me who aren’t big on math) learn and increase their speeds.

(There are also some settings you can enable to make the game harder)

If you try it out, please let me know if you found it fun, if you have anything you’d like me to add, or if you have any other feedback.

And if you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer.
Much appreciated.
I'm not knowledgeable about stroke rehabilitation specifically, but the benefits of walking are extremely robust. Especially if you're talking about the difference between a totally sedentary lifestyle and one which includes a substantial amount of walking.
BTW when I said controllable way to navigate/move, I mean quasi-controllable, so we may not understand what happen, but our tech measure that we have moved IN OUR SPACE-TIME much less or much more than expected by our models, by means of some unknown magic.

It's main purpose is to react to changes, and make the whole process sustainable. It's literally one of the 4 main lines of the manifesto and the second of the 12 principles, and included in the meaning of the term "agile" itself, while guesswork isn't mentioned. But I can see how trying to predict what the markets will look like in 6 months involves a lot of guesswork, which is eliminated. I hope you can see that the only reason why guesswork is tricky is that there are a lot of changes in the meantime, so the ability to react to them is the deeper, actual main purpose.
That’s not how it works at all. As someone with recent onset of ED taking viagra regularly, it’s been fantastic but it just makes me function like I should.

It takes about an hour to take effect (usually less for me) and lasts a little over 4 hours with some lingering effects for several hours later, with diminishing effects towards the 4 and above hours.

If I’m sexually stimulated during that time physically and or mentally, everything works like it should (erection). If during that time even when I would normally see peak effects around the 50 min to 90 min mark I’m driving or doing taxes or whatever non-sexually stimulating activity one might do, no erection at all.

It is also the original purpose of TAB: the tabulation key, used to delimit tabular data.

I also like that TSV files are both readable in plain text and easy to manipulate directly in editors like Vim and Emacs via rectangle operations or macros.
