The Null Hypothesis.
What do the colors mean? I assume this is complete passes only, not intercepted ones? How about displaying some heatmap of passes instead of individual vectors for a different view? Have you considered denoting the direction of the pass with a dot for the start/end or an arrow if not too busy? Is there any indication of the speed of the pass? How about summary stats for each player, team, etc? # of passes, average speed, % complete, how concentrated vs. distributed they are over the squad, which players receive the ball most/least often, which players receive the ball from most players/fewer players, same for positions (individually or grouped by defenders/midfielders/attackers)

OK, I'll stop brainstorming :-) Cool visualization!

California will host a billion-dollar 'hydrogen hub' for our energy future
Well the problem is that's then essentially people involved in the project making claims about the project.

That's obviously not satisfactory as a positive independent assessment, which is what this thread is calling for.
This is not my line of work, so I'm not at all qualified to discuss alternatives.

Was really just commenting on how ridiculous it is to send someone a $10 gift card after an incident of this severity. A genuine apology would've been enough, or if they really wanted to make amends, a non-trivial credit towards future costs would be more sincere. $10 is just insulting.

In much smaller orgs, we've had much poorer vendors buy the whole office pizza or some such, and that was just a casual thank-you, not even any sort of major fuck-up. In my current company (a SaaS), we do occasionally fuck up and we issue credits worth way more than that.

I mean, $10 literally isn't even enough to pay for a meal on UberEats in many cities...
Hey Tobi, thank you! This is HN, so that is fully expected, but it’s all fun and good. I made this super quickly and just wanted to share in case anyone needed it. I only saw it today—reached the front page and got 444 stars! I’m as surprised as the shade guy :)

Not the poster, but IMO it’s a bit like saying Gen Z is responsible for TikTok.

If they weren’t there, or this was 100 years earlier, or Gen Z was fundamentally different than they had been raised to be, then yeah TikTok likely would not exist, or at least not be a notable problem.

Post WW2 was an economic and population boom time. The boomers resulted from that boom, and the programs for them helped them, and that boom continued.

Booms continue to grow until the fundamentals fall apart and the leverage can’t keep it going anymore - and then you get a bust.

The longer and unhinged the boom, usually the longer and unhinged the bust.

And here we are.

In February they added new code that allows to spy/block named pipes.

Named pipes are pipes of communication that processes can use to talk to each other, as an alternative to sockets.

For example Chrome uses them between the user interface and the actual page renderer.

In March they tested it in staging, said it was fine, pushed to prod with few rules in April, still looked fine.

In July they added a new rule, which was deployed to 100% immediately, as from their perspective, a new entry in a database definition doesn't need testing nor canary deploy

(which is still irresponsible, because bad rules could cause damage as well like any security/antivirus software, even if the parser didn't crash, but it could have blocked legitimate actions or files)

Literally every society holds ownership of land and property as a fundamental core value.

> im beginning to dislike the current state of the status quo thats really only a modern phenomenon (nation states and most pieces of land being claimed for ownership by individuals or worse: large stakes of land claimed by small groups)

People will not willingly give up their property without adequate compensation (and even then might not due to emotional attachment).

If you want to back your words with threats of physical force, feel free to go ahead. There's a major reason most civil and criminal cases in both China and India revolve around land disputes and conflicting ownership.

This has been the status quo of society for millenias - this is why you have folk stories like Hattefield McCoy, the biblical story of Zelophehad, the dishonest plowman of European folktales, the qissa of Dulla Bhatti's revolt against the Mughals, and the conflict between Der Shin and Der Yi in Chinese folklore.

Private Land Ownership has literally been codified in the Hammurabi Code, the Arthashastra, the Bible, and the Book of Rites from the Zhou Dynasty.

Texas Instruments have the INA219 and INA226 I2C high-side current sensors for DC up to 36V. I just know of those because of Arduino. There are many others too.

Over 36V or so, that you'll want a Hall Effect sensor suitable for your current ranges and an ADC.

I have traveled all around Europe by car and the autostrada del sole is an unmatched engineering marvel in the old continent.

Italian geography is complex. There's a reason the allied forces took way longer from Naples to Milan than from Normandy to Berlin despite heavily outnumbering the Germans.

I was always super proud of the quality and maintenance of Italian highways. Somewhere around the turn of the century I stopped feeling as proud because maintenance started lacking and other countries that I visited (eastern Europe) has also built some very good roads.

One thing to notice though is that the highways are expensive.

From Rome to Milan in a small car you're paying around 60€s in tolls.

That's not a small price, especially as it is way higher than 15 day passes for all highways in some other central European countries.
Different workloads I guess but context-switching/CPU (and associated increase of memory bandwidth) is/was holding my N5xx/N6xxx back from properly utilizing I/O.

But this was in the context of someone who has an N100 but prefers running a J-series over due to lower power consumption. It seems like it should be worth the effort?
You might also like meeting Chuck Moore, inventor (or as he says, "discoverer") of Forth. He has done pretty much the same thing. It's a great way to be if you buy into the Forth vision, but for most of us, Forth has too many shortcomings. Roger Levy on Usenet:

Taxes are higher in the suburbs of NYC due to the funding of segregated school districts. MTA (mass transit) is a state agency and most of the highways are paid for through the state.

>It is designed to tell your body you are being force fed something other than food. The author was made sick by it. Litigate this somewhere else.

It's designed to be bland. Everything else is your conjecture. Moreover, what even is "something other than food"? Like I said in my previous comment, people seem to eat ultraprocessed foods like soylent and mealsquares just fine, and those are probably even further from what "food" actually is. At least with nutriloaf you can make out pieces of the constituent ingredients.

>I said it was described as what was essentially a "simulated poison," because force feeding it to people it is analogous to how a mock execution uses "simulated" click of a trigger

No, simulated poison would be feeding you denatonium or something. Eating nutriloaf might not be the most appetizing, but based on the ingredients it's nowhere close to eating actual poison. I looked at other sources[1] and so far as I can tell, it's just bland. I also found a lawsuit by an inmate that alleges it was making him sick, but aside from him and the dining critic, I can't find any evidence that it's causing sickness on a large scale, which would be expected given how many institution use it. Maybe it really is "simulated poison" to a few % of people, and in those cases I'd agree it would be considered cruel and unusual punishment, but people who get sick from milk or taco bell, that doesn't mean milk or taco bell is "simulated poison".

>I did not say it was poison, but I'd be pretty suspicious of what your interest is on this one. try not to make it sound like you've been torturing people.

If you have to resort to questioning motives and borderline implying that I torture people, it's probably a sign that you don't have actual responses to the object level question and want to derail the discussion into something else.
It is and isn't how it works, depending how nuanced a look you give the initial comment. On one hand you're absolutely right, i.e. 30 year treasury bonds have to be paid back in 30 years - right from the name even. That said it's not quite right the government expects to withhold payment as the way to avoid having to actually "pay back the debt" long term. Instead the fed expects to continue selling new 30 year bonds to pay off the old 30 year bonds as they have for many loops now. Usually people accept buying new bonds in this kind of scenario because it's an extremely low risk and easy to manage method of holding your e.g. retirement money without just having it sit there completely.

Of course another level of nuance to that conversation is then asking "and what could happen to break that cycle and what would result"?
Ok. At some point I need to clean up that code and add some unit tests. I'm sure at that point will get this fixed.

This is v0.1.0 of the Explorer.

> The consensus was that there is nothing of substance to engage with.

The safety boat of scientific consensus is pulled out a lot in today's environment. One should remember that many of our great scientific discoveries had a scientific consensus that it replaced. That boat won't always steer you in the right direction, sometimes you have to read the paper and come to your own conclusion.
> For all the various ills it is sometimes associated with, cryptocurrency remains the only frictionless, 100% transparent, publicly accessible international monetary and payment system.

Its insane energy use, slow speed, high transaction costs, and structural inability to have any legal oversight (for eg reversing fraudulent payments) amount to a huge amount of friction.

And the existence of unknown entities with huge wallets that could pump or crash the price of a coin on a whim also means its not 100% transparent.

Is it money? I would say no, but opinions on that can differ.
I would summarize it as: use `push_back` when you're pushing something, use `emplace_back` when you want to construct something in the space at the end of the collection. It just so happens that their functionality overlaps, and there really isn't a strong reason to use `push_back(Widget(ctor_arg1, ctor_arg2))` vs `emplace_back(ctor_arg1, ctor_arg2)` with a movable `Widget`, so it comes down to readability and communicating intention. And those will depend on the situation.

Mentioning `Widget` is definitely more explicit, so I agree with the author that `push_back(Constructor(...))` is usually better. Semantically, it's also usually simpler to think of "push a newly-constructed Widget" vs "construct a Widget in the next element of the vector and lengthen the vector to include it".
Actuarial people do this sort of analysis all the time. It’s a valid tool, it doesn’t mean you have to give up your moral compass.
Show HN: Stempad – Fast Online Scientific Writing
I'm building an online text-editor editor to write and save scientific documents fast. Here's a video of how it works: https://youtu.be/Hyk8CvCdEWE

As an engineering student, I hated that handwriting was the only viable way to do fast or impromptu scientific writing. It would be the only way to take quick notes in class or in a lab, write an assignment, or create a presentation. Here's a few things I witnessed in academia:

* Unsuitable editors: Students attempt to resort to text editors unoptimized for science, such as Notion or Word, to take notes and write assignments.

* Slow or expensive software: Students, teachers, and researchers using high-friction and high-cost tools for writing

* Messy class notes: Professors upload pictures of hastily handwritten class notes as supplementary material

The list could go on. I believe that the ability to quickly document scientific ideas with a keyboard would be a huge QOL improvement for anyone learning or doing science.

I recently launched the ability to export Stempad documents to LaTex. I tested it by rewriting part of a paper I found online (Metabolic scaling in small life forms by Marc E. Ritchie & Christopher P. Kempes) and exporting it. You can try the editor and export yourself using the post url. The export button is on the top right of the page. In case you want to see the result directly, this was it: https://www.overleaf.com/read/zjccqbjdyhtc#6e146c

Feedback is really appreciated! If anyone thinks they might find Stempad useful, let me know and I'd love to get in touch.
There is a difference between strings used internally, usually as IDs, and text entered by a human. For the former you'd always use straight ASCII in 8-bit encoding, for the latter ... things get difficult. A straightforward example are DNS addresses - they can technically contain almost any Unicode, but that is always converted to a very limited subset of ASCII for actual DNS resolution, which in turn is case-insensitive.

There are of course things like programming languages with case-insensitive identifiers that support all human writing systems in Unicode. If that's what you're dealing with, you have my condolences.

I feel like this would be a great tool for people who have had a much better experience of On Call than I have had.

I once worked for a string of businesses that would just send everything to on call unless engineers threatened to quit. Promised automated late night customer sign ups? Haven't actually invested in the website so that it can do that? Just make the on call engineer do it. Too lazy to hire off shore L1 technical support? Just send residential internet support calls to the the On Call engineer! Sell a service that doesn't work in the rain? Just send the on call guy to site every time it rains so he can reconfirm yes, the service sucks. Basic usability questions that could have been resolved during business hours? Does your contract say 24/7 support? Damn, guess thats going to On Call.

Shit even in contracting gigs where I have agreed to be "On Call" for severity 1 emergencies, small business owners will send you things like service turn ups or slow speed issues.
I guess 7-Eleven management trainees know that their company is just as replacable for their employees as their employees are to them.

I tried the goat puzzle on chatgpt it it got it right with reasoning as below. This suggests to me the systems are improving and don't seem at an obvious plateau yet.

>To solve this puzzle, it's important to make certain assumptions and understand the conditions. Since you mentioned only a man and a goat and didn't specify any constraints, I will assume the following:

1 The boat can hold both the man and the goat at the same time.

2 There are no restrictions on how the man and goat can travel in the boat.

3 The goal is simply to get both the man and the goat across the river.

Given these assumptions, the solution is straightforward:

The man and the goat get into the boat.
They both cross the river together.
Therefore, both the man and the goat can successfully cross the river by traveling together in the boat.

FWIW, I think it was great (enough that it wouldn't hurt elaborating on the analogy when introducing it).

My mind went to machinery turning rigid and clunky over time due to being caked-in with a crust of thickening dust/rust/tech-debt, especially concentrated on sections "hot-fixed" with the metaphorical duct-tape/glue/lube/almost-fitting-spare.

If you want your machinery running smoothly and be easily servicable with off-the-shelf-parts, you can't skimp on maintenance for too long.
Anime names. I’m partial to vegeta and goku.
I think something like this. Imagine a computer with two memory cells x and y, and a program that maintains the invariant x+y=5. That is information about the program and about the state of the machine: if x=2 then y=3, if x=20 then y=-15, etc.

Now replace that program with an arbitrary Turing machine that can do pretty much anything with those memory cells, like set both of them to zero. You no longer have the information encoded in the former invariant. I.e. That information has been destroyed.

The machinery of quantum mechanics (the standard kind with Hilbert spaces) maintains certain invariants that you can compute things from, but Wolfram's stuff can do pretty much anything. Thus, same idea.

I disagree, it's much more that, far too much to discuss here. A starting point would be to check the ARRL and RSGB handbooks which provide a reasonably comprehensive overview of AR. (Google each for more info.)

There are many more specialist books if you want even more in-depth information.

Telling that there’s no mention of eBPF, which is standard on Linux and available on Windows, but hasn’t been brought into the main Windows OS. Static analysis might or might not have caught the Blue Friday bug, but it certainly increases the protection level over the current do-as-you-wish model for kernel modules.

Why are they being diplomatic, instead of plainly stating their contempt and revoking CS's driver/etc signing keys? Doing so would help to repair the reputational harm that CrowdStrike inflicted on Windows.

Are their lawyers telling them they can't impede CrowdStrike even though CrowdStrike is breaking Microsoft's product? They should do it anyway and dare CS to take it to court so they can publicly humiliate CS by dragging all the dirty details of their incompetence out.
There are better tools for spying like Teramind and Aktivtrak. Crowdstrike would make a bad spying tool. I guess there is remote CMD? And you can like, see all installed programs.

But so can SCCM/Intune from MS or another RMM like Datto that IT uses to manage PCs...
You could have shared those insights without the insults.

> Can you share examples with sources of other operating systems following practices which you mention here?

Well, both dominant mobile operating systems already enforce a very strict security model. Too strict if you ask me because on neither you as the person actually owning the damn thing can become root without anything in the system throwing wrenches in your way, but hey.

The result is, most people don't even need a virus scanner, and the blast radius of a bug in an application is usually limited to whatever data that application can access. It's been ages since I heard about the last major mobile OS malware in the wild that didn't involve one of the world's secret services or their civilian suppliers - and that way, one can argue, all the security theatre actually works: it's driven the price of successful attacks so high that only nation states can afford it, and even these have to restrain themselves to only use these exploits against targets of extremely high value.
