Today, I encountered an issue where the modal's close button appeared to be unresponsive. Upon reviewing the modal and the button, everything seemed to be set up correctly, yet clicking the button didn’t close the modal. I later realized that multiple instances of the same modal had been opened. When I clicked the close button, only the topmost modal closed, leaving the others still visible underneath.
Graph Theory Lectures by Reinhard Diestal – The Trailer [video]
Well there's (at least) two people involved in a chat. They could have just gotten it from the other person.
Interesting problem. The typical solution in C++ to deal with type erasing function pointer types is to go through a trampoline function:

struct X {};
void use_x(X*);
using F = void(void*);
void bar(F* fn, void* y) { fn(y); }

template<class T, auto fn>
void trampoline(void*arg) { return fn(reinterpret_cast<T*>(arg)); }

X x;
bar(&trampoline<X, use_x>, &x);

In plain C there is no way to generate the trampoline at the point of use in the same way template instantiation works, but it can be generated by a macro at global scope.
For those who want to learn actual Graph Theory:

"Graph theory is a young discipline in mathematics and this has some advantages and some more advantages. The advantages are that you don't have to learn a lot of Machinery before you can get going, so in graph Theory you can practice all the various things one needs to do as a mathematician you can practice the process of proving theorems, of finding the right theorems before you prove them and of even finding shaping the terminology in which the theorems are phrased before you phrase them."

"So this entire process can be elucidated in Graph Theory much more easily than in classical disciplines where you have to come with a big rucksack full of terminology that you already know."

Agreed. How about the "landlord" expected the kids to cut the grass and weed the gardens house for use of the field, and only allowed them access on certain days and times.
Not sure why people keep making this argument. If I'm obscenely rich and don't want to follow the rules, it's at least an order of magnitude cheaper and easier to have something on earth than mars. Buy a country or two, or set up a floating city in international waters. The challenges involved in each are peanuts compared to somewhere which has no breathable air.

Mars is cooler though, I'll give you that one.
C++ is further than rust in my opinion. Vtables that support inheritance, as well as stack unwinding for exceptions, are pretty complicated and totally implicit in C++. Okay rust also technically has unwinding for panics to be fair but it’s rather unusual in practice for programmers to use panics to mean anything other than “crash the program now”.

Because that's better for morale and has a lower administrative overhead than the administrative overhead of having a cutoff or whatever.
No, that figure is way off. Check out a website that sells digital goods or cheats and you will see that even far smaller games have cheats available.

Escape from Tarkov comes to mind. An extremely hard and niche first person shooter with RPG elements. It is a private Russian company so we don't know exact player numbers, but it is estimated to be ~200k by some hits in a google search.

There are people who will provide carry services and guns and gear for plenty of people who will pay for it, as well as other providers selling the cheats that the carriers use for a weekly fee. The people who are providing these services are getting paid in USD when their local currency has a far lower value. It isn't a moral thing, it is a money thing.

You know that you sometimes don't know a bug exists before someone exploits it or uses your software in a way that you did not think of. There are experts who stand to make tons of cash if they can create or use an exploit that people will pay money to advance with.

The only way to prevent this is something that no one wants to hear, but it needs to be a unique citizenship identifier of some sort, since HWIDs and other means of tracking are mostly useless.
I was watching a popular YouTuber doing a live hack session, and the ideas were pouring in from his community—tons of valuable suggestions. But as the comments flooded in, he struggled to keep up, missing great ideas because they got buried.

That’s when I thought, why not create a tool to simplify this? A tool that organizes and summarizes comments, making it easy to capture key feedback without losing any valuable insights.

And that’s how GenieEngage was born—helping YouTubers effortlessly manage and act on their audience’s ideas.
My dad kept a lot of his old hot wheels from the late 60s and what is fascinating is those orange tracks even from then still fit with tracks you can buy today. They've modified the design but they still connect.

Makes you think will what you build keep the same interface or at least backwards compatibility 50 years from now? Probably not and most wouldn't blame you. But it brought us a lot of joy to take things we bought in target that day and connect them to those old sets.
Thanks! So the example image is actually with both non-uniformly sampled measurements and noise :) works great for both/either

Yeah. I have to stay conscious of resource usage and can't run all the stuff I'd really want (which TBF is a bit) at 32.
Are you sending an actual random string as your UA or sending one of a set of actual user agents?

You’re best off just picking real ones. We’ve got hit by a botnet sending 10k+ requests from 40 different ASNs with 1000s of different IPs. The only way we’re able to identify/block the traffic was excluding user agents matching some regex (for whatever reason they weren’t spoofing real user agents but weren’t sending actual ones either).

> I have spent years writing about and studying Lisp, including buying several books.

The key is "writing and maintaining" Lisp software.

Lisp often won't get learned by reading or writing ABOUT it, but by reading AND writing actual Lisp code.

It's a bit like riding a bike. You can study bikes for a long time, but you will typically not be able to ride a bike. That's something which can be learned when actually practicing to ride the bike. This means also not needing to consciously think about it, but by moving tasks to internal automatisms. Lisp code is data and this wants to be "manipulated". This manipulation is a key to learn Lisp. The other key element is to work with a system which gives live feedback -> interactive programming. "Interactive" means to do things, to fail, to improve, to do it again.

It's in part the experience of actually using an interactive programming system.
Yea, legitimate with illegitimate is a weird kind of calculation, as the risk with illegitimate market is to end up in jail, and few people want to calculate the monetary value of lost time due to incareration and all the fallout that comes with it.

The more interesting question would be, if the bug bounty is enough to keep legitimate researchers engaged to investigate and document the threats. But..

The bug bounty itself is only a drop in the bucket for security companies, as it's a, unsteady and b, not enough to cover even trivial research environment cost.

Pratcially it's a nice monetary and reputation bonus (for having the name associated with the detection) in addition to the regular bussiness of providing baseline security intelligence, solutions and services to enterprises, which is what earns the regular paycheck.

Living from quests and bonties is more the realm of fantasy.

Noise is added here:

# Generate noisy sinusoidal data with random time points
np.random.seed(0)
t = sorted(np.random.uniform(0.0, 10.0, 100))
noise_std = 0.01
y = np.sin(t) + noise_std * np.random.randn(len(t))
true_first_derivative = np.cos(t)
true_second_derivative = -np.sin(t)
```
changing noise_std will change the magnitude of the noise added, hope that helps!
My solution, if I was in charge of Israel, would simply be to NOT order the army to destroy most of Gaza and kill tens of thousands of people, and to instead just focus on preventing incursions into Israel. I would also focus on stopping Hamas missiles by using the hugely effective anti-missile system that, conveniently, already exists.

I realise that this is not a perfect solution to the Israel/Palestine problem. It has many flaws in the long term and ignores a bunch of pressing issues. But it does have the benefit of not killing tens of thousands of people, and in that way is a hell of a lot better than the bloodthirsty rampage currently happening.

I agree with you and that’s most concerning, studens who don’t intend on cheating may have to in order to stay competitive. But maybe the method of testing needs to change. Again, only time will tell how this all will play out. Pocket calculators were probably a concern for education when they came out and yet things evolved in a way that worked out. Personally I highly dislike oral examinations but maybe they’ll make a comeback and AI technology will play a part in students training for it.

That doesn’t automatically mean they’ll just change their name and continue going, it could also mean they’ll part ways but continuing releasing stuff under their individual names, or with other people, or doing something different together.

I worked at an anti-spam email security company in the aughts, and we had a perl engine that would rip apart the MIME boundaries and measure everything - UA, SMTP client fingerprint headers, even the number of anchor or paragraph tags. A large combination of IF/OR evaluations with a regex engine did a pretty good job since the botnets usually don't bother to fully randomize or really opsec the payloads they are sending since it is a cannon instead of a flyswatter.

Thanks for sharing the direct link to that video. At the time of the initial outage, I only saw some assertion that they were 'a hacktivist group' on some article on Bleeping Computer, and at the same time the only reason they'd claimed for the DDoS was 'because we could'. Hacking something just because you can is, of course, not doing hacktivism.

If these people are sincere, they are idiots in their propaganda strategy and artless in their 'hacktivism'... but definitely hacktivists.

But tbh this seems too stupid and ill-directed to me to be anything other than a false flag operation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Either way, thanks for the additional context!

This category of we call ”usless UB” are things that wont help optimizeayions, and all major compiler have to support beacause if they dont, their users complain too much, can be relied on.

Unfortunately its very hard for the average use to know what UB can be relied on (there isnt much).

I'm not sure. It may be worse internationally

I think without half ton trucks that get used as personal commuter vehicles in the mix the comparison gets even less favorable to EVs. Vans face all the same problems but worse because people don't buy $50k half ton vans for mostly commuting with a little bit of heavier work thrown in so the tradeoffs are going to make sense for fewer people. There aren't any midsize electric pickups from big OEMs yet (i.e. I bet someone in China makes one that isn't sold internationally).

I guess insane European fuel costs do potentially make the comparison better in the SUV market segments though...

Yes, adjusting our sleeping position has to do with the sensation of pain, a stimuli (pain, discomfort, pressure points) that cause most individuals to reposition during sleep, i.e. it is the sensation of pain from pressure buildup that triggers the need to move during sleep. You are right, it is to prevent prolonged compression of tissues, to avoid bedsores, nerve damage, etc.

That said, this is not the whole story, because there are people with a rare genetic disorder called CIPA which completely prevents the feeling of pain, but they still reposition themselves, so besides pain, it is muscle fatigue (that prompts subconscious movements), autonomic reflexes, and well, sleep cycles or phases also lead to the body shifting positions unconsciously.

In any case, people with CIPA are at a much higher risk of developing complications related to immobility because they do not experience the typical discomfort (pain) that triggers movement.
Show HN : GroupTrack: An Open Source Android App for Seamless Location Sharing
Hey HN!

I’m excited to introduce GroupTrack, an open-source Android application designed for real-time location tracking and sharing. Whether you're connecting with family or looking out for friends, GroupTrack provides a versatile solution for location-based services.
What is GroupTrack?

GroupTrack is an Android app that showcases effective real-time location tracking and sharing capabilities. It demonstrates how to handle continuous location updates in both active and background modes, implement geofencing, and customize maps to enhance the user experience.

More than just a location-sharing tool, GroupTrack highlights best practices for developing location-based applications.

Key Features:

- Continuous Location Updates: Ensures reliable tracking so users can stay informed about each other's whereabouts.

- Background Tracking: Efficiently maintains location services while minimizing battery usage, keeping tracking active even when the app is not in the foreground.

- Map Customization: Offers the ability to tailor map features such as markers, routes, and points of interest for an improved user experience.

- State Management: Uses Android Architecture Components to provide real-time updates to user locations and map data, ensuring a responsive and efficient interface.

- Geofencing Capabilities: Allows users to create geofences and respond to events like entering or exiting specific areas. The app integrates native geofencing functionality, enabling smooth interaction between Android native code and the app.

There's a good article on the technical problems here https://thebulletin.org/2022/06/molten-salt-reactors-were-tr... One quote from that:

>During its operational lifetime, the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment was shut down 225 times. Of these 225 interruptions, only 58 were planned. The remaining interruptions were due to various technical problems, including: “chronic plugging” of the pipes...

>...These problems remain relevant. Even today, no material can perform satisfactorily in the high-radiation, high-temperature, and corrosive environment inside a molten salt reactor.

I'm not sure anyone has made one that powered anything or produced electricity. The MSRE just intermittently heated the air when it was working.

Apparently although it only ran from 1965 to 1969 and produced a peak of 8MW, it's still costing about $10m per year to manage the waste produced. In the 1990s they found uranium in the waste had migrated leading to the possibility of an accidental criticality.

Still the Chinese supposed to be running an experimental one similar to the MSRE in the Gobi desert next year. I'm not holding my breath for commercial operation though.
Yep - same story here with Nuke (the old one, but then it happened again on the new one too). Got to global and it was a ghost town save for the same 5 man we ran into every night.

I want to recommend getting an e-ink smartphone.

I've tried the Hisense A5 and the Bigme Hibreak, and software-wise, found the Bigme Hibreak to suck a little less, as I could not access the Google Play store on the Hisense.

I had one with colour, and one without.

The black and white screen is much better.

Both sadly run outdated Android versions, so I don't do anything like banking on my e-ink phone.

But I have found that not having a LCD screen in my pocket, literally gives me hours of my day back. It literally saves a huge portion of my life from being wasted in the evil pit that is ad-funded recommendation algorithm services.

LCD screens, videos, and ad-watch-time-maximising recommendation algorithm services (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, etc) attract our eyes like moths to a flame.

I have not finished multiple books per month since my pre-smartphone childhood days, until getting an e-ink smartphone.

My Bigme Hibreak, that is my daily driver, runs Android 11, and I don't get timely notifications on e.g. messaging apps. It also came without case and screen protector, which is a big minus.

Do you have experience with e-ink smartphones? Which makes and models work for you?
