I was talking about how physicists will understate how difficult things can be.

'Feels tractable' is physics-speak for: a possibility exists to get there though it may require more teachers than there exist on the earth and more compute time per student than there are transistors in the solar system for the next 1000 years.

Anti-gravity would be 'tractable' too as we can see there must exist some form of it via Hubble expansion and then it's only a matter of time until a physicist figures it out. Making it commercially viable is left to icky engineers.

Things that a physicist don't think are 'tractable' would be time-travel and completing your thesis.

To be very very clear: I am somewhat poking fun at physicists. Due to the golden age of physics, the whole field is kinda warped a bit about what they think is a doable thing/tractable. They think that a path may exist, and suddenly the problem is no longer really all that much of a problem, or rather 'real' problems are in figuring out if you can even do something at all. 'Tractable' problems are just all the 'stamp collecting' that goes into actually doing it.

What happens when you eliminate the "good inflammation" in those with bad diets? Then what? There's likely going to be unintended consequences, naturally. My point, eliminating one symptom usually means eventually creating another.
Ask HN: Is it worth marketing my SaaS in a foreign language?
I run a part-SaaS, part-agency service that’s at high 6 figures in revenue. Growth has stagnated lately and I’m trying to figure out how to fix that. I’m wondering whether to market our service in a foreign language - translate site copy, Google ads, maybe even sponsoring local influencers. I’m not sure about the ROI of time+money however.

Has anyone else here tried this before? What’s been your experience, was it worth the investment?

A little hard to believe anyone in 60s Europe felt particularly safe and comfortable!
I would expect just as many hallucinations as "normal" from an OpenAI API endpoint. I agree that knowing the difference between facts and formatted content is good media literacy at any age.
Lots of European tech work is just offshoring/outsourcing for US companies. S174 affects them to an even higher degree since foreign software development has to be amortized not over 5 years, but over 15 years.

NOAA is a globally relevant working US service, and while one can live without eyes... it makes life more complicated when hurricanes pop up without warning.

As an organization it is data driven, where countless airlines, maritime shipping, and agricultural entities can't properly function without the service.

Any states that lose NOAA will also see just about every insurance premium balloon into the stratosphere.

Someone is letting the dog drive, lol =)

That's not the same. Thin clients are a different category than small form factor micro PCs.
Media narratives and conspiracies are often used interchangeably, I can't read your mind so I included both. Also in your original comment you brought up the media, it's right there, so...

Bitcoin != “crypto”

Bitcoin was the original and it’s still here. And it will continue to be here.

The goal of bitcoin is not to “make money”. Bitcoin is money. A new kind of money. One that no central entity can control. One of which there will only ever be 21,000,000. No one can print more Bitcoin. Unlike fiat, which the government and the ruling class use to screw people over right in front of their faces all in broad daylight.

Bitcoin can not be diluted. Bitcoin can not be inflated. Bitcoin can not be controlled. Bitcoin can not be stopped.

Fiat is weak money. Fiat is bad money. Bitcoin is strong money. Bitcoin is good money.

Bitcoin is a force of nature.
I'm very taken with the regex to lex to yacc to awk sequence of developments. There's a very convincing sense of building on prior work to achieve more general results.
Heh. When I try the line out in OP I'm convinced that pun was intended. It's in response to the women's cries inside the castle, no? That Mac, at this point in the show (and consciously or not), associates all women with whores is a fascinating character note. Not that you were wrong to cover it up - if the word had distracted the audience right then it would have been unfortunate - but I like your story as an example of how being aware of OP can help open up the text.

You're absolutely right about diversity of accents, and "OP" (in its time) was never at all only one thing. David Crystal - I hope I'm not doxxing myself other than to my friends to say I worked with his and Ben's company - was adamant about that. We were a crazy-diverse crew, with our own underlying patterns of speech - Standard American, all sorts of regional UK dialects, Indian English, and various second-language speakers - all of which brought welcome individual "flavours" to our OP palettes. (Then David got to go really nerdy with his suppositions about what 16th-century cod Welsh and cod French accents might have been, and overlaying those was a hoot!)

It's only RP that enforces standardization - which is why all of us from elsewhere (more accustomed to hearing and performing Shakespeare in our own voices) sometimes had a hard time grokking the immense effect of OP on UK performers and audiences.

Yup, that's what I mean.
Yes. I have got a "used" HP 800 G4 DM on the cheap, which looks brand new still wrapped with plastic skin, as my camera NVR machine. It barely uses 2%~3% CPU processing 8 camera feeds and pumping out videos to 3 monitors. The mini PC did the same thing with 80%~100% CPU and got overheat easily. The HP is slightly bigger but flatter than the current mini PC form factor. I believe the design is great for heat dissipation.

My son was in Japan a few years back, and said that there was a 'help wanted' publication for the city he was in. It was released in two volumes, one for men, one for women. I seem to remember he said they were blue and pink, but that might be something my mind added after the fact.
Have to resist the urge to spend $80 on a cool gadget that I will use exactly once and throw away in a drawer somewhere..
This would be an incredible act of vandalism. The hostility towards science, and specifically efforts to monitor and mitigate climate change, coming from the right of American politics is frankly terrifiying.

It's a fuzzy line, systems like the Wyse 5070 were originally marketed as thin clients but they are more than powerful enough to be repurposed as an SFF PC or home server. That one can be upgraded all the way to 32GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD if you want, and the fat version has a standard PCI-Express slot which can accomodate a 10GbE NIC.

"Green Threads" as implemented in Java is a solution that solves only a single problem - blocking/multiplexing.

It does not enable easy concurrency and task/future composition the way C#/JS/Rust do, which offer strictly better and more comprehensive model.

> EU kind of in a recession though. And there's a well known link between interest rates and unemployment. So it's really not surprising to hear that employment in the EU is harder after the ECB raised rates.

I am fully aware that this may sound emphatically void, but what the devs in the rest of EU are going through right now looks a lot like what the hiring scene was in Finland back in the 1990's and 2000's.

And yes, it is f##king brutal. If the outcomes are anything close, the eventual survivors will be cynical enough to make current HN look like kindergarten full of delusional optimists.

Your concern would be exactly mine as well, and why I assumed "brilliant" was sarcasm, cause it feels like handing over the problem to the same solution that got you the problem in the first place?

RE: backtesting against bookies... are you backtesting against the opening odds or the final odds? Betting markets are like the stock market... the odds move as action is taken on the bet. So the initial price is like an IPO price, and then the market is what determines the final odds.
Why? It should make it much easier to support Nvidia GPUs on Windows, Linux, Arm/x86/RISC-V and more OSes with a single firmware codebase per GPU now.
I second the Obsidian recommendation.
Make sure to also specify a domestic NTP server - it may refuse to work until the time is synced, and most of the cheap cameras I looked at sync time with China by default.
> To be frank I quite like this idea. Can’t we standardize it somehow and add it to other email clients too?

Just copying what I said in the other thread: there actually is a standard for that already: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9078

Sadly, it seems it doesn't have broad adoption: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1724363
There really doesn't seem to be much else we can do. Write your congressfolks - especially if you've got red congressfolk (if they're blue congressfolk they'll already want to make sure that NOAA survives). This is just one issue out of many that highlight the stakes involved.
I wonder if there is a market for a spiritual iPod successor.
The problem is twofold

1) Companies aren't anticipating growth and therefore aren't creating new positions.

2) People aren't switching jobs. In order for there to be a (non-new) job opening, someone has to move.

My sense is, even in the best of times, most job openings are from the latter. Yes, perhaps sometimes created by the former. But in general openings reflect employees confidence in moving or not.
Without an offline history and sane support for multiple clients, it does not really have the same utility. I’m using IRC, but oh my gosh is it a pain to set up and maintain. Bouncers are terrible, so the alternative is IRC clients that basically run their own little server that I connect to.
> what about actual employment? That's a lot more even-keeled and boring looking.

Does it? Source [2] ends on 2019-01-01, 5.5 years ago. I agree that we want long-term comparisons, but I'd be very very surprised if the last 5.5 years shows the same "up-and-to-the-right" trend like the previous 10 years from the recession to 2019.
Yup, I've developed a workflow that starts with writing a brain-dead easy fizzbuzz and gradually adds features and complexity. The way I've done it, it gives you a way to judge levels as well as basic competency.

If you can't, or can just barely, complete fizzbuzz in the allowed interview time with a lot of coaching in your language of choice, then you definitely aren't ready to work as a SWE. If you breeze through all my extra sections in half the time, then you're great. Partway through, and you're probably a decent junior to senior engineer.
How would that help NOAA survive?
Quality beats quantity. If you smash the hell out of a take-home project you won't need to do any more interviews. Companies that rely on take-homes usually are the same ones that don't make you go through Leetcode/trivia gauntlets.

My biggest advice is if they say to use 4 hours but you need 8 to do an amazingly thorough job then use 8. It's basically cheating but I've always found that it doesn't end up causing any actual problems in terms of being able to deliver at a velocity they needed in actual product work post-hire.
Thanks for links. Let me set up a battle between GNUGo and GoFormer.

Unfortunately, hostility towards science is increasingly bipartisan. The testing and tracing infrastructure spun up during the pandemic is largely defunct. We are reliant on wastewater sampling and hearsay as we ride the current COVID wave in service of a "pandemic is over" narrative.

I predict that in a few years we're going to see a lot of these companies get "disrupted" by new entrants who eschewed current trends and actually make proper investments in technology, allowing them to build things people actually want to use.

What's interesting is the tech industry itself made a big deal about how it disrupted dinosaurs who under-invested in technology only for them slowly fall into the same trap. Everything feels so much like it did in the early aughts.
I’m unable to scroll this website on a stock iPhone running the latest software. It just says “Say Hello to tinyPod”. Why do people think it’s ok to hijack scrolling? You’re never going to get it right and now I have no idea what your product is even though I’m the exact target audience.
For what developers get paid and how cushy the job is? A few hours per application is easily worth it.
Does it at least do anything well? An iPod replacement would be fun, but the best thing about an iPod was the wired headphones.

Would you consider inverting a binary tree a basic question? Some may, but many developers have never inverted a binary tree in decades (because it’s something that doesn’t pop up in a normal job).

It also depends heavily on the user.

A mechanic might say "This car has never given me a problem" because the mechanic doesn't consider cleaning an idle bypass circuit or adjusting valve clearances to be a "problem". To 99% percent of the population though, those are expensive and annoying problems because they have no idea what those words even mean, much less the ability to troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair.
The standard http client doesn’t have as great of UX as other community libs. Most of us (including me) don’t like to use it.

That being said, imo you can’t call something equivalent when doing a bunch of spring magic. This disregards that OPs logic isn’t equivalent at all. It waits for each future 1 by 1 instead of doing something like CompletableFuture.allOf or in JS: Promise.all.
The book provides a ton. I'll write another version that follows the book more closely and uses them. Thanks for the feedback.
Actually we overload the word "feeling" to include thoughts and perceptions which are not feelings. Like "I feel sad" is a feeling. "I feel like you are being a jerk" is not a feeling it is a thought or perception.
Yes but there's no law requiring this and it raises their bounce rate. I don't see any evidence that if law enforcement asked them to shut down a domain that they wouldn't. DDoS as a service existed long before Cloudflare and in its simplest form just requires messaging someone on a forum with a target.
So much this.

I 100% understand how the article could be off-putting to some, but to unemployeds like me it was cathartic.
I get why anti-cheat software is as invasive as it is, but that invasiveness is a deal-breaker for me.

There is no game in the world that's worth having to put that much trust in a game company for.

And, honestly, if a game has such a problem with cheating that such extreme measures are required in the first place, then it's not a game I'm interested in. In a sense, it's no different than a place that has a heavy security presence. That the presence is necessary is reason enough to avoid being there.

Show HN: C-Based Ansi2html
Got a bit tired last week of using pretty slow programs to convert ANSI-colored text to HTML (which I do often enough, as I dabble in developing a text-based MUD), so I built my own.

Turns out, it's not _too_ hard to make it useful, fast, and mostly bug-free.

Thanks to Github Actions, there are binaries for Linux, MacOS and even Windows.

If you find it useful, it'd be great to hear. If you'd like to comment on the code... that, too.
I don't think it's about novelty - heck people here will praise Unix and C regularly.

It's more that crypto initially had potential, at this point it's been tried and failed to deliver - at least from the value perspective of people here.
"But if the team's software architecture and coding practices are solid, which probably means they use a subset of C++'s vast feature set in a very clear way"

So... C? =P

Sorry. But my point is I think there's really very very few C++ places that could say their code is described by your statement. Not helped by the fact that I think there's really very very few C++ places at this point in the first place.
"Middle manager" means you're managing managers (i.e. director/vp). Those people do often make $1M+ at FAANG.

But he is certainly still exaggerating, as most people with 20 years experience didn't spend "almost their entire careers" making $1M+.
SE is different because those other professions generally aren't creating anything. If SE had a program where it just writes the code for you, then we wouldn't have to test them, just like an MBA can work off existing Excel sheets because what matters is the output of that application. Most new code and bug fixes require extremely detailed abstract knowledge that (so far) hasn't been able to be commoditized into an application. The next few years may be a game changer for that though.
You'd first have to drop the pretence of neutrality that most voting advocacy efforts lead with. Only one party has a policy platform of gutting state and federal bodies that are thorns in their climate change denialism.

People who need encouragement to vote aren't going to do their own research and dont have the ability to analyze the repercussions of their vote. NOAA policy isn't going to be mentioned on the campaign trail.
If they do this maybe the blue states could absorb NOAA into some kind of sub-federal system to keep it alive until sanity can be restored? And then charge the red states for weather info - many of those red states are vulnerable to hurricanes & tornadoes.
Pop uses X by default because of Nvidia.
dude the comment i responded to is from you saying "cryptocurrency proponents out there who have somehow ignored all the negative press it has received."
I don't know about others, but I still use it for the same reason I still use XMPP: still works fine and is less annoying than proprietary solutions.

As for encryption, I use OMEMO with XMPP for private conversations, but I use IRC for public forum conversations, so TLS is enough for me. Think Hacker News, but in real-time.
School-age children are actually pretty good judges of whether their parents are safe for them.
Exactly. The law is about preventing abuse from fundamentalists towards their children. If the school must snitch and the school must report then a person who believes their kid being gay will go to hell will abuse their child until they pretend to no be gay.
It's why I would never vote for them. Nothing surpasses the importance of our collective existence—not for one race or religion, but for all humanity, and for the only intelligent life we know exists in the universe. Anyone whose policies threaten our stability does not earn my vote. We are on a pale blue dot in the vastness of space, and we must honor our duty as caretakers of this planet. No amount of tax cuts can make up for it.

The notes mention "boosting" because of the interest in Discord's 1080p streaming.

As for slower, I was comparing to than the web app and mostly concerned by how slow it is to change channels and servers, coming from the context of a TUI IRC client where changing is <20ms.
