skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
While 100 milliseconds (well, slightly more actually - 100 time units != 100 ms, it's just very close) is the default beacon interval, most clients will scan for longer than that to ensure they hear the best SSID (and AP for that) before initiating a connection just to throw it away/immediately roam anyways. This allows higher beacon intervals to work without the clients thrashing themselves between advertising stations. Also, not every beacon will actually make it through heard so connections generally assume they shouldn't just go with the first time they hear it.

As for how a RADIUS auth should take 1 ms... sure, and updating macOS on an M3 shouldn't take an hour either. I'm not saying how tech should be, I'm saying how it is and which steps often add significant latency as implemented. Even a dedicated Aruba ClearPass authentication server on prem scaled for 25k clients can't handle 1,000 auths/second (ignoring that AD would fall over before then).

Usually the drivers are also part of the problem (both on the AP and the client). Same with OS software around it. Things that should be instant just aren't. E.g. go try to disconnect and reconnect to the same SSID on macOS via the GUI. If you do that in ~1 second you should get an error - not a delay, an error that it hadn't synced up with its own connection state and couldn't possibly figure out how to try to connect. None of that is actually Wi-Fi, if you implement an IoT device with an embedded radio and sidestep a lot of those layers suddenly the protocol is much quicker to connect (still not as fast as some simpler ones though).
No idea, but this all happens within a larger social framework, I'm sure it's possible to reverse it.

Uhhh. I hated JS for years and years until I started to actually look at it.

If you just follow a few relatively simple rules JS is actually very nice and "reliable". Those "rules" are also relatively straight forward: let/const over var, === unless you know better, make sure you know about Number.isInteger, isSafeInteger, isObject etc etc. (there were a few more rules like this - fail to recall all of them - has been a few years since i touched JS) - hope you get the idea.

Also when I looked at JS I was just blown away by all the things people built on top of it (babel, typescript, flowtype, vue, webpack, etc etc).
I run a business with lots of daily transactions. The cost of balancing cash drawers, getting change, making deposits and balancing those activities in accounting, all totalled, is still cheaper than to pay the credit card fees. Also it's kind of a fixed set of time regardless of how much cash it is. So more cash is more savings but there is definitely a point where if the cash amount gets to low it would be cheaper to go all card.

I think that cheaper propaganda is probably from theft in mostly places that hire minimum wage workers and treat them like slaves.
About 4 years ago, I got really into strength training and running.

I quickly discovered that even a little (3oz of whiskey (2 shots)) would measurably and negatively affect my next day's workout. Usually just performance, but sometimes up to the point of actually making me nauseous during the workout.

Prior to getting into a running/workout routine, I was no lightweight, I could easily down ~10oz whiskey and have room for more.

I feel substantially better and more consistently better without alcohol.

I've tried alcohol a few times since and everytime I regret it the next day.
Some people are workaholics, and are using busywork to actively run away from their feelings and thoughts. Such people are quite vulnerable when there is a lull in the available work.

Some people are looking for confirmation from others to validate their own self worth. Some might work super hard to "prove themselves" (via others). If they recognition they desperately need is not forthcoming, they are quite vulnerable.

Some are desperately looking for a purpose, and hope that $NextBigThing will be it. When they realize it is not it, they are quite vulnerable.

None of these pathologies are particularly unique to developers, I think. Can happen to people in many kinds of professions.

The Consolation of Philosophy by Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius.

It is a profound synthesis of classical philosophy and personal reflection on the human condition. Boethius, writing in prison while awaiting execution, blends Stoic, Neoplatonic, and Christian ideas to address timeless questions of fate, fortune, happiness, and virtue. It transcends religious dogma and focuses on rational inquiry into how one can find inner peace and intellectual clarity amidst an almost total inversion of fortune.

Unlike Marcus Aurelius, writing at the peak of his power, Boethius wrote his at the bottom, and did so with more skin in the game. Marcus gave us Commodus and the Decline, Boethius gave us Aristotle and the Rebirth.
Ok. You can live where you currently live and eat some more plants. I recommend pulse crops like peas, beans, lentils, soybeans, and chickpeas! Those things are regenerative and quite healthy, while still packing a decent dose of protein.
Couldn't every Boolean operation be "busted" as a lookup table?
> Your take on "toc" is a relatively new one.

I don't think so. I'm just regurgitating what I learned in political science classes decades ago, and what the mainstream understanding still is today in the general media.

And what you're omitting is that while yes, the solution from the point of view of the political right is privatization, the solution from the point of view of the political left has always been more active government management/regulation, international treaties, etc.

You seem to be ignoring the entire history of solutions on the left, and treating the problem as if it's solely an invention of the right. I don't know why.

And with the fishing example, I never suggested country #5 was ignorant, or that countries #1-4 wouldn't object. I never used the word "blindly". But you're claiming that people in country #5 are "willfully ignoring the social structures in place" and that's false. There are no structures and never were. (Again, see: Chinese overfishing.) And you're admitting "then... tragedy" in my very example.

So I still don't understand why you're claiming ToC doesn't exist, except that you think it's a justification for privatization. But you're ignoring it's also a justification for regulation and cooperation. Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater?
Yes, but there are enterprise-y tiers that are paid.
The general strategy to avoid this is to have fabric walls and/or ceiling drapery. It cuts noise down to normal house levels, because yeah, if you leave everything bare it's just an echo chamber.

Loud sounds leak through still of course, but echoes and background clatter drops off extremely quickly. Particularly if you use two layers.

It would depend more on what we are intending to do, are we controlling a terminal, or are we writing to a file (with specific format).

Terminal control is fairly easy answer, there would be some other API to control cursor position, so the code would need to call some function to move the cursor to next line.

For files, it would depend on what the format is. So we might be writing just `<p>hello world</p>` instead of `hello world\n`. In fact I find it bit weird that we are using teletype (and telegraph etc) control protocol (what ASCII mostly is) as our "general purpose text" format; it doesn't make much sense to me.

It's the cost of change, and also the fact that the people you need to convince to switch don't benefit. If you're an adult in the US, you already know the conversions you need to do everyday tasks (e.g. 12 inches to a foot, etc). You also have calculators absolutely everywhere to do the math for you, so it isn't like you benefit from being able to do it in your head more easily. So, if we switched to metric most of the country would have to incur significant costs, and reap no benefits. That's never going to fly.
Ask HN: Resources for teaching toddler advanced vocab and reading?
We have 2 year old who is super talkative. He can count numbers, talk fairly complex sentences for a two year old. Other day he surprised us by saying binary numbers. I had said to him jokingly when he was 6 month old.

What are ways we can increase his vocabulary and teach him reading books?

I would love to know if you have found any hacks.
I had a quick scan through the source and it gets the hash of each page on both sides and sends the page if it's different (so conceptually very similar to rsync). I don't think the cache is indexed anywhere normally, so that'd imply it needs to do a full read of the database on both sides, so it'll be slow and probably trash your disk cache on a large database.

In theory, it should be able to use the WAL file directly if it copies the WAL checksums, but that information would get lost every time the WAL is flushed and the data is moved into the main db file.

Litestream knows exactly which pages have been written via the fuse fs, so it doesn't need to do all that work for unchanged pages.

yo builders,
anyone wanna collab and join as team for founders inc hackathon from 9-11 in SF? https://f.inc/horizon
I can't code for sht but...
lil background of myself:
I design and sell stuff lol
* early team of BeHonest - a physical mini grocery store for residential buildings and condos in Brazil (currently 250+ active markets and R$30mill in revenue);
* joined buildspace with Marketrite - the U.S version of BeHonest. Ready to launch physical grocery stores in LA/SF this quarter see launch here: https://x.com/therafarezende/status/1808951781671776693;
* built this AI powered website where you can generate a fun personal analysis and get your feminine archetype: https://www.starterpackinsta.com.br (launching in partnership with a 1mill Tiktok creator);

best case scenario we get 1mo free coworking seats at Founders Inc, make some friends and build the next gen of grocery shopping.

worst case scenario we make some friends, work as hard as we can for 3 days and eat some pizza.

anyone wanna know more info on the proj dm me where u based, what u doin rn and I can send a gamma deck with more info
If you want "just works" your more likely to get it with Ubuntu than Fedora. As for being unbearably slow .... there aren't a lot of ways for that to happen unless you're using absolutely the wrong graphics driver.

A typical way would be using xfce's "enable display compositing" setting with a graphics driver that doesn't support proper acceleration.
> As I understand it: They asked for transparency, they alleged voter fraud, they were heard, and no evidence of any fraud was found.

My understanding is that it's more complicated and in a lot of cases the evidence wasn't even allowed to be presented. The cases were thrown out without being heard, and the media called this line of questioning anti-democratic from the start.

> Were they engaged in anything more than maliciuous "concern trolling" to cast shade over results? Did they not get their many days in Court?

I believe this was never taken seriously to begin with, and was also flagged as undemocratic and fascistic to even question the results. That doesn't help instill confidence from the opposition. Regardless, talking about this is extremely complicated with tons of details to go over on why there might or might not have been any kind of fraud. Honestly it's beyond my understanding and time to research, which is part of my point. Elections should have a process that is simple enough to verify with relatively less effort such that it raises the confidence of ALL the voters.
Yes this is why I said a few, and having a legal firm in the loop is probably a good way to improve chances of things going well.

I’m sorry you had to live through that it’s truly horrible.
Isn’t compiz a compositor for xfce?

Btw I love xfce. Find it to be the perfect balance between features, stability and performance!!!
Anyone who contradicts a (probably paid) apologist must be either old or lacking in self esteem. Well done, your masters will be happy.
I was given "The Great Escape" by Paul Brickhill as a teenager (long ago) and fascinated by the Prisoners Of War resourcefulness in not being controlled by their environment. Some innovations included stealing electric wiring to light the long tunnels, making forged `official' documents without a typewriter and hiding the tunnel `tailings' in plain sight. The movie doesn't do justice to the true story.

I can understand having to import the "dirty" parts of the stdlib, like I/O, or the "heavy" parts, like Unicode or timezones. But why force someone to import every single type? Most functional languages have a prelude that covers the types every non-trivial program uses: booleans, numbers, strings, collections.
It makes sense to think he got bribed.
Double-backslash for multiline literals is standard Zig and it takes a bit of getting used to.

I suspect I'll always find it ever-so-slightly unsatisfying because I really want the token to be `\\ `, and it's just `\\`. I don't want those backslashes touching my text!

It's probably the better rule, I say, gritting my teeth slightly, because if you want the text indented, let's say four spaces, making sure it's actually five is annoying and easy to forget. But ugh I don't like looking at unindented multi-line Zig text. Imagine leaving no space between `//` and a comment, I would never. Never!

Eh. You get used to it.
Same here. I wonder if it’s only broken for us or if it’s broken for everybody else as well.
I can't see the flagged post, but if you think "Elon Musk owns communications infrastructure he can turn off selectively" isn't political, I think you might need to reconsider what's in bounds for political. He's already done it to interfere with a war and he's widely meddled with what "free" speech he'll permit on his X platform.

His ownership of cellular signal is deeply intertwined with politics.
I'm not sure if this is directly mentioned in the paper, but I didn't see any mention specifically about the conflation between a validation set and test set. When people actually make a distinction between the two (which is seemingly not all that common nowadays), you're meant to perform model selection on the validation set, i.e. find the best HPs such that you minimise `loss(model,valid_set)`. Once you've found your most performant model according to that, you then evaluate it on the test set once, and that's your unbiased measure of generalisation error. Since the ML community (and reviewers) are obsessed with "SOTA", "novelty", and bold numbers, a table of results purely composed of test set numbers is not easily controllable (when you're trying to be ethical) from the point of view of actually "passing" the peer review process. Conversely, what's easily controllable is a table full of validation set numbers: just perform extremely aggressive model validation on your model until your model gets higher numbers than everything else. Even simpler solution, why not just ditch the distinction between the valid and test set to begin with? (I'm joking, btw.) Now you see the problem.
I don't experience any voices in my head. I am a visual-spatial thinker, not a verbal thinker. It certainly doesn't feel like there is anyone else in here with me.

That being said, it is clear that our brains are very complex and do many different tasks without our conscious knowledge. For example, when I do formulate words (while writing this comment, for example), I have no awareness of selecting vocabulary and applying grammatical rules; the words just pop into my head fully formed.

It is clear that some other part of my brain is doing the task of language construction, and I have often wondered if that part of my brain could have a separate consciousness of its own that I (referring to the consciousness that is trying to express itself to you now) have total ignorance of.

Perhaps many different brain tasks are done with isolated consciousnesses, and some people have a stronger sense of that than others.
Unfortunately, they recently removed most of the books from that hall due to conservation efforts. I didn't really give the feel or atmosphere of an old library.

I stopped smoking weed and drinking around the same time a few years ago, though I was never drinking in excess. I will still have a beer every once in a while (maybe once a month) but largely prefer sparkling water, NA beer, etc.

I too noticed a sizable difference in my mood, cognition, and general well being. I exercise daily and any day I drink even a single beer now affects me the next day, so I largely avoid it. Best life change I ever made!
I quit in 2018. While my drinking was not what you would typically think of as problematic, it was definitely in excess of what is considered moderate now. I am glad I quit and I don't miss it. NA beer is pretty good these days, especially the IPAs. That seems to meet my need for an occasional fun beverage and I don't miss the intoxicating effects at all. When I am around people drinking and I see their behavior and personality changes, it just reinforces my decision not to drink.
Egg layers definitely dominate biodiversity. "99%" of the extant species of animals are in this group. Being viviparous is an anomaly.

In the general case, you just have a big list of edge weights, which means you have to be able to write the edge weights down.

If you want to represent the problem as a bunch of points in a Euclidean plane with free travel, that's a different (and easier) problem.

And even then, while it might take an infinite number of steps to specify the answer at infinite resolution, it will only take a finite number of steps to specify the answer at any level you're capable of writing down.
Depending on software, but typically major release is followed by a long list of bug reports, so you don't have time to be depressed. Software I wrote in my career is long-lived, so you never actually finish it. Could be different if it's something like a game that's published on specific date, but even that is now patched after release and often requires further work. Not much software nowadays is really finished not to be touched again.

That said, I noticed this "down" effect earlier in life after completing something challenging, like passing a hard exam, etc. But not with software.

If anything, we should stop sometime to reflect on what we achieved after longer period of time, it's too easy to be on a treadmill and never feel that anything significant is finished and accomplished.
Ugh, yeah that's a good point: it looks like each time you run sqlite-rsync it calculates a hash for every database page on both the source and the replica side of things - that's a lot of disk access and CPU, way more than you would want to run on an every-ten-seconds basis.

I'm aware of the existing backup methods, but AFAIK they don't do a delta of only the changed pages (unless I use separate software), and "vacuum into" doesn't work over SSH.

I have no need to store a backup on the same physical server. Also, the backup server will keep snapshots, and with sqlite3-rsync I can just update a previous snapshot with the changed pages rather than redundantly transferring the whole database over every time.
I also did the same thing. I probably visited 30 times in the 5 years I was there. The postgraduate study room next door to it (disc shaped building between the old library and the front gate) is probably one of the neatest student spaces in the university, closely followed by the geography building behind it.
Yes it's free. And yes it's not making money. They do have phenomenal education resources for teachers that are paid, though.

It's about getting them baked into the google ecosystem. Microsoft did this in the 90's, but with businesses instead of schools (and not for free to be honest).

Get them used to Google so they use nothing but Google when they're adults. Then monetization happens.
