> Is it difficult to believe that a judge would be able to predict at least some outcomes from a single paragraph?

It's difficult to believe that the decision should be made quickly. When making decisions about the trajectory of someone's life, they should be made with care. Having a system that removes snap judgements and bias is important, and I would say that even a quick-scan and re-ordering of documents is a form of bias.
Thank you for creating this.

How are the rankings arrived at?

VS Code Editor which is based on Electron, is really fast, even with large codebase & many open tabs. Their monaco engine (https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/) uses custom, virtual code processor that is optimized for surgically updating underlying DOM. It also uses WebGL + canvas rendering to show minimap of the file.

Similar approach (custom virtual processor) is leveraged by Google docs/sheets.

Canvas rendering may be the last resort when nothing worked.
Haha interesting! Which sector are you in?

I work for a German-owned industry corporation (in a nearby EU country) and would get fired for having a friday beer with colleagues if not at company-arranged “friday bar” or some other event :)

No national law requires this strictness, but +95% of companies in my country have simular rules in place.

My German colleagues are mostly serious when saying “Kein Bier vor vier” (i.e. no beers before 16:00/work ends).
This reads almost verbatim as my conception of bias.

"Once you've abandoned principled, wholistic reasoning for your pet heuristics, you can figure out many outcomes from the inputs to your pet heuristics".

Do you mean something different by "bias"?

The problem with TCP/IP is the lack of a standard and robust VPN/overlay network protocol.
Everything we have is extremely fragmented and/or proprietary.

IPv6 is completely useless and doesn't solve this problem.

Normal people don't care if they have to pay 5 dollars instead of 50 cents to rent an IP address. This is a problem specific only to the huge providers, and we don't need to rollout a whole internet upgrade just to optimize a tiny part of the operational costs for huge providers.
Oh and with the Trump assassination attempt who is spreading hate now is really up for debate.
Great in concept, especially if you know what you’re doing. In my non-North American locale, I ordered a fiber hookup, and specifically asked to use my own router.

Supposedly they will give you an ONT in SFP module for free, and then rent you a media converter ~3 USD/month, and then the rest is up to you (assuming it supports PPPoE). Some friends have done this a while ago successfully.

Reality on install day: technician grabbed the white-label ONT/router combo from the truck and refused anything else :( And unrelated, he found a “defect” in the existing fiber drop (clear as day with the visible-light tester), so I had to pay for pulling a new drop from the street :(
In that moment when i decided to create my own plugin, I didn’t find any useful information. I did a lot of crash tests, read different very old ( oldest discussion was 19 year old ) discussions on forums. Tried to understand how to glue all this stuff together. And finaly structurised all my knowledge in this article. That was interesting experiance for me, as i didn’t have any experience with Zbrush and ZScript before even with C compabilities in Rust. But as end result I hope this documentation will help you to save your time and avoid my mistakes

UPD: Im not professional developer, this is what im doing for my needs as 3d Artist. The code may contain a lot of core mistakes, but it works for me.

This is a cute fact completely devoid of meaning.

If your homeless population is 0.1% of the population, only 1% of the housing stock needs to be second homes for this to be true.

If you think only the top 1% should be able to afford a second home, then you must think we should be artificially poor.

The top 1% in this country are VERY wealthy. The top 10% can EASILY afford a modest vacation home if that's a priority.

The solution isn't to take their homes in Big Bear and give them to homeless people in San Jose.

It's to build more houses in San Jose so that starter condos don't cost $800k...
Using piloted pneumatic valves as logic gates blew my mind.

If you are looking for strangeness, the 1990's to early 2000's microcontrollers had I/O ports, but every single I/O port was different. None of them had a standard so that we could (for example) plug in a 10-pin header and connect the same peripheral to any of the I/O ports on a single microcontroller, much less any microcontroller they made in a family of microcontrollers.
Soon after the procedure a donor organ became available, so they no longer have the artificial heart.
> It is very hard to do this kind of things. If you do, there will be paper trail because you would need to get consensus from others.

Hard but doable. A few companies got burnt with direct messages between executives showing up in court in discovery, but everyone watched and learned to quickly scrub and remove those routinely. So next time it’s easier. And of course we only find out those that slip up and get caught.

But even that is not needed, all it really takes is the subordinates to read between the lines. It takes just one minion to suggest closing that particular store for “unrelated reasons” and they are promoted quickly. Everyone else learns exactly what the idea is without leaving a single paper trail.
At least Ethiopia is trying to do something. There will be pain everywhere in trying to go green, so they are taking a "hit for the team" so to speak. Good for them.

In the US, a country that if we did this it would make a big impact in CO2 being released, is living with their heads in the sand. Already one Party if elected, will do all it can to end the EV transition. Plus the money allocated to create EV chargers seemed to have gone nowhere and to make matters wors, I still think there are no standards for these chargers.

The cost of the hides and the labor of turning them into vellum dominated the labor of inscribing a page. Printing would not decrease the cost of finished pages, especially for small numbers of copies.

The decrease in the cost of paper resulted from the increased availability of linen rags, use of wind power in production of rag pulp, and the larger volumes of rag paper used for commercial records and correspondence before the invention of printing.

I suppose before doing this the process must copy its own process image to another location and jump there. Otherwise it will end up crashing due to segmentation violation when the next instructions are fetched by the processor since the code is no longer in memory.

Linux passes the process a pointer to the program header table via the auxiliary vector. Given that pointer it's possible to reach every page in the process's memory image¸ and likely also the ELF header itself. I suppose it's just a matter of mapping in new pages, copying all the data over and unmapping the original ones.

Maybe Linux should keep a copy of the process's initial state and expose that in procfs as well.
Developing that sort of expertise requires getting clear and—ideally—timely feedback on the quality of your decisions. Do parole judges get that?

I'm sure they get feedback on whether their decisions are consistent with what other judges would have decided, but that's qualitatively different from feedback on whether those decisions were fair or right. If anything, that is the kind of feedback that would propagate biases in the system! You would end up becoming an expert on making consistent, defensible decisions, even if those decisions were consistently and defensibly bad.

“A tritone is very dissonant, so the dominant seventh chord really wants to ‘resolve’ to something more sweet.”

“I see you shiver with antici——”

It’s not dissonance that makes you want to hear the completion of the sentence, rather, it’s grammar. If you play a tritone out of context, there is no need for it to resolve, but you can cast context around it by adding a resolution to a tonic just after. The tritone has a culturally-learned grammatical role in western music; and that role is not a universal law of aesthetics.

Right. CLIs / TUIs offer composability. GUIs don't.

If someone makes a GUI that does specifically what you want, you're in luck. If not, you're S.O.L.

With CLIs, you can almost always find some way to string things together to get what it is you want.

The hard case is working in domains which aren't inherently textual: graphics, audio, video, etc. Even there, you can often get much more accomplished from the terminal than you'd think, though setting up the process can be challenging at times. Not so useful for one-offs, but invaluable for repetitive processes.

The core of Nazism was that it viewed humanity as a struggle to the death between different peoples (such as Germanic people and Slavs), and that elements such as Jews, disabled people, homosexuals, communists, were like a parasite slowly killing the German people if not destroyed.

It's really one of the most destructive and self-defeating ideologies ever, much more so than e.g. fascism in Italy and Spain.

I know HN loves repeating this outdated trope to feel good, but that's not always the case and not in many I saw where they offshored and product quality didn't drop because they made sure to hire qualified people and managers, and not bottom of the barrel on the cheap.

Sure, you won't find many rockstar workers abroad, but most companies don't need that many rockstar engineers especially for CRUD work which is a commodity now, and plenty of countries have upskilled their workforce in the last 20 years especially in web CRUD, that they can take on the maintenance of stable products on the cheap.

That's not how unions work in France and Germany. The unions set strick salary bands so that a newcomer can't earn more than someone who's been longer in the company so your negotiation doesn't get you anything, you let your union negociate for you.

This is a good overview of the history of the term "inflation."

Ideally people would specify which inflation they're referring to, like monetary Inflation or price inflation. Short of that though, until we started moving to full fiat currencies inflation without any qualifier was inflation of the money supply. After the move to fiat they repurposed the braod term to mean price inflation, presumably because monetary inflation isn't meaningful when your system is based entirely on manipulating the money supply.

Show HN: Stack Auth (YC S24) – the open-source Auth0/Clerk alternative
Hi HN! We're Zai and Konsti, and we're building Stack Auth [0], an open-source managed authentication & authorization platform.

Stack Auth was born out of years of frustration with the incumbents. We wanted to build something that is developer-friendly and open-source at the same time, yet fully managed.

User data is quite critical, and you generally don't want to get locked into a specific vendor. On the other hand, building and maintaining auth infrastructure on-top of existing libraries is tedious work as you grow. Hence:

- Stack is 100% open-source, licensed under MIT and AGPL.

- You can self-host, or choose to use our managed hosting.

- If you choose the latter, there's absolutely no reliance on us; if you think we're doing a bad job at any point in time, you can export all your data and start self-hosting instead.

Also, we're more than just authentication — we have authorization built-in, and a frontend to manage your users. You can use any language to access these features through our REST API [1].

We also have a bunch of components for sign in, password reset, organizations. For now, we only support Next.js frontends and backends in any language with our API, though our docs also list the client endpoints, and some contributors have been building frontends for other languages.

For more info, check out our GitHub repo [2]. Any feedback is highly appreciated!

Thanks all!

Could you elaborate on your recommendation?
For the experts in this thread: is there any benefit to using these so called array languages compared to using something like numpy (or even pandas/polars) ?
ARM64 threw out the book and started over. Stuff like Thumb-2 or VFPvX are for legacy ISA. There aren't variable instruction lengths and NEON is baked into the core of the ISA.

AES in ARM (and x86 as this was after their attempt to be more RISC-like) was designed to be RISC. A CISC approach would have just ONE instruction that would take the data pointer and number of rounds then do everything at one time. In contrast, x86 and ARM use a couple simple setup instructions, then an AES round instruction (1-2 cycles) that gets called repeatedly then a couple more finalizing instructions.

If you look at the code on any machine, something like 95+% of it is integer code. Integers are fundamental and everything else is a performance optimization.

The float/vector pipeline is a different thing, but it still takes a RISC appoach. 1-5 cycles for most things, a few are 6-7, and a couple like divide and some types of sqrt can take up to a dozen or so cycles (there's a reason they are avoided). This all happens in its own separate pipeline with its own scheduler. All the ideas of being superscalar and avoiding bubbles apply here too. Even the worst case is a far cry from CISC chips where instructions could take dozens or even hundreds of cycles.
I've also had that bit presented to me and it's similarly inaccurate.

CliftonStrengths were much more accurate and actually helped me understand one coworker better after we all took the test.

Ah yes, the good old "fascist dog whistle" argument. Schenker himself was an outright fascist. However, many theorists from the late 20th century who have come up with methods for analyzing tonal music have done so mostly on the back of Schenker's work. I'm also not suggesting you should read Schenker himself - his own work on what we call "Schenkerian analysis" is quite primitive and limited.

I'm curious what you would suggest to perform a modern analysis of Bach (what the original comment chain on this was about) if not Schenkerian analysis. I didn't see any alternative analysis tools proposed in your post, even though it sounds like you are educated on the subject.
Im always conflicted about stories like these.

All of the mathematicians I’ve known ARE weird - really into technicalities and finding loopholes.

But for some of them (particularly undergrad math majors)… I think the weirdness is a bit of an affectation that they adopt having heard so many stories about oddball geniuses. They fear that if they were able to behave and relate to normal people it proves that they lack the otherworldly genius they want to be know for.
