Old books aren't bad, in fact, it's rare that new books are much better than the very best of the old books.

The Reddit discussion linked in another comment yields an updated Github repository, but a cursory glance didn't come up with any big changes.

Re: your Discrete Math complaint; if the author (and his friends, there were very few reviewers involved) didn't specialize in Discrete Math, then it's not surprising that somethign is missing. In fact the author actually explicitly says that the list is incomplete and which his specialties were.
Definitely. Which is why we still use one. It's cheap, already there and does the job.
See, the weird way I always understood NP hardness was by virtue of the impossibility of it. Suppose all NP hard problems are solvable. Assume this knowledge is distributed, a culture surrounds it, eventually that knowledge is structured into the culture intrinsically (like intuitive knowledge, like knowing how to move your arm, the knowledge becomes to effect: deterministic).

Now, if that occurs, then new layers of conceptual reasoning (however it may manifest, the problems of human creativity, of opening domains of knowledge, of forming new ideas or building things, anything humans will be able to try to do once all NP hard problems can be both efficiently discovered and checked).

Assuming we can do new stuff now that we couldn't before, this opens the table to new variation, new problems, and new plausible solutions (but on a meta layer, where the problems of today are intrinsically quickly solvable).

To me, that is what NP hard has always been. Even when you think you have solved it, you haven't, precisely because of the ways we construct and define problems. We either select that which can be known or that which can not, and we translate this into a language. For what can not be known, that which has significant variance across the human domain, such as mind reading, can not be predicted. Even in a fairly formal logical or mathematical language, which becomes more difficult the more compressed the language is with cultural information.

So even though we might say we've solved NP hard problems, that allows us to define new problems of which are going to be more difficult to solve (unless the universe just stops forever or approaches an information uniformity). All that new variation is the new NP hard.

I know it's not a super mathy solution, but there is a problem with being able to look at a letter and knowing it means 'A' which may have very little meaning in one context, but in another it might represent a culturally standardized 'memory'. It retains that which is known. The more information you have to compress into symbols, the complexity of your systems explodes as those symbols can construct more and more permutations and meanings (like what a graph represents). You can't know the answer unless you know the answer, literally.

I still study all the math and formal logic and complexity theory in my free time though (because I do get the dimensional perspective - finding the shortest path is a mathematical problem at heart), but the above is my intuitive understanding of NP hard, that which is infinite and capable of redefining itself in ways the human mind is independent of the collective, incapable of imagining.
I have access to some of Apple's secret documentation and they watermark your name and email address over all the PDFs. I often wondered if they do something like this as well, just in case.

Only using synonyms is pretty limited though. You could go much further:

1. In PDF documents use layouts that differ by only a couple of pixels.
2. Change the placement of figures.
3. Change brackets to dashes (like this) - or like this.
4. Add double spaces in places.
5. Adjust the hyphenation at the end of long lines.
6. Use unicode look-a-like characters.
7. Use different unicode variations of dashes and quotation marks.

If you only had a single document and wanted to leak it while being certain that your name wouldn't be leaked too, the only way I can see to do it would be to rewrite it in your own words.

SELinux isn't that hard. Disabling it is just lazy.

Granted, creating a really secure policy takes effort, but even just having it enabled with simple policies can help mitigate the impact of a bunch of vulnerabilities, even if it won't make you invulnerable.

I second this. I started keto and my depression went away, and although there is still anxiety, it is much lower, and it feels like I can DEAL with it, whereas before I felt helpless.

I was a neurology professor at a children's hospital in my previous job, and there is a ton of research being done studying the neurological effects of a low-carb diet, and they are, across the board, incredible. A common treatment for kids with epilepsy is the keto diet, so we had a lot of research and expertise in this area. Half of the department was on the diet, and I have been for close to two years now. I will never stop it. My wife and kids as well (though the kids are more paleo, since they have closer to 75-100 g carbs/day)
I found this too. This is probably due to the fact that Hacker News is (mainly) for sharing news not discussing topics. The discussion part is not supported well by the mechanics of the site.

I don't think it will take long to get a verdict, the construction is really pretty simple. Maybe if there is a really subtle error this could cause some debate but as far as I can tell there is nothing exotic in there. The only thing that struck me as a bit odd is that they just add a couple of dummy qubits to increase the probability of one measurement.
Sadly not. I was #203094. One of the funniest things I remember about /. were the times someone would post that they had a lower ID than a previous commenter, and that would spark a chain of decreasingly low ID posters replying to say theirs was lower still. You probably had to be there. It was a simpler time.

Here's Scott Aaronson's answer to a similar question on his blog a couple of weeks ago:

Yes, Nielsen and Chuang is the standard textbook for quantum computing; it’s excellent (even though 16 years old by now). If you wanted to start with something shorter and more introductory, you could try David Mermin’s “Introduction to Quantum Computer Science.”
APIs require more than database access, security, and nice routes. Those are all necessary but a good API also includes flows linking things together so you can progress through higher order processes and workflows. You need to make sure that you're actually providing user value.

CRUD over HTTP (or an "access API") should be a first step, not your end goal.
Yup, arbitrarily high probability.
STALKING HORSE BID: DO YOU REALLY WANT TO STALK Your HORSE ANYWAY?
Actually curious: is the goal of the F-1 rule changes to level the playing field? I'd heard it was to keep automakers on their toes, guiding the competition towards things that the general public wants, too, like gas efficiency. If I remember correctly, one of the more recent years saw a huge tank capacity reduction, ostensibly to force automakers to create powerful engines while maintaining some semblance of efficiency.
What do you mean by "burnt-in" exactly? Like a watermark? I don't see any reason why the running timestamp can't be encoded in the file format, invisible to the user. Then tampering would at least require some technical know-how.
That once was called insecurity. It happens to everyone, and if the cure is making sure no one interacts with anyone else, then we are done. Without the interactions of random people we never will find the group of people we feel comfortable with and we cut down on our learning potential. Its bad enough people believe that it is assault when they are exposed to thoughts or beliefs that make them feel uncomfortable or challenge something they believe. They need safe zones because something a speak says could be contrary to their own thoughts.

If you are not offended from time to time in college, you should ask for your money back because you didn't learn a damn thing and cannot deal with life as it happens.
The problem with discussion forums is endless September. I find the database forum because I want to discuss CAP. I post "Let's talk about CAP" thread. The discussion forum has had 1500 CAP threads over the last ten years. It's boring answering the same questions and getting into the same arguments, so either all the experts have moved on, or they find entertainment in inside jokes or political discussions or flaming the freshman.

What I don't see mentioned is behavior. That's the hard problem for discussion. Reddit, StackExchange, and the Linux kernal mailing list all have different norms. For me, their behavioral norms don't make them viable alternatives to HN. Lambda-the-Ultimate seems to be generally well behaved when I've encountered it, but it may be more technical and narrower than the enterprisey topics and level of depth you describe.
I tell that to our DBAs who test, debug, maintain, and check into source control our SPs.
+1 to learning the business domain and the jargon associated. In my experience, domain specific code tends to be littered with jargon that makes it difficult to understand if you do not understand the vocabulary.

Unfortunately, much of this can even be business specific. It would be helpful to find out if they have any of this documented. It probably isn't documented within the software team, but, it most likely is for other business units!
Being able to redefine classes at runtime, and having full control over what that redefinition means, is one of the several secret powers of Common Lisp and the MOP; it's part of why I cannot support choosing another Lisp for any project.
Very cool. Would be even nicer if the snapshotting process created a self-contained ELF executable, rather than a snapshot file that needs a separate executable to start it back up. Seems like it should be feasible.

Since the README mentions kentonv, I wonder if this would be useful within Sandstorm.
'This relies on their earlier paper from May 2015, and if that paper was correct it would have made big waves' is valuable context.
Make sure you keep your ears open for advice from more senior folks in the company, and ask questions when you don't understand something or get stuck. You'll be fine.

The problem with wind power is that in many places it makes no sense.

It changes too quickly - faster than most other electricity production sources can cope.

If you have hydro or something that can ramp up and down production as quickly as wind does - and the grid stability to be able to do so - wind could be great.

But if you don't, it's not so great. And unfortunately far too often wind gets put in places that don't have that ability for political reasons.

Grid-scale energy storage would be great - if we actually had it in any meaningful amount.
As another commenter pointed out, being able to crack NP problems quickly will give you theorem provers.

At that point quantum computing research will receive gobs of funding -- and our knowledge will absolutely explode.

You can debate whether it's the absolute top discovery, but this would be a lever to shift around the entire math and computer science field. If it wasn't a shaky paper, of course.

Yes it is. Old Gutnish is usually seen as an additional dialect of Old Norse.

I've only had a few courses about Old Norse, that were mainly about Old West Norse, so I'm not really an expert in this topic. I think we pretty much know the differences between Old Western Norse and Old Eastern Norse through the texts of that languages that were preserved.

"Here is a video that shows apparent tampering. What are the chances these anomalies are result of faulty equipment or software? How likely is it that these anomalies are the result of deliberate human edits?"

Several HN readers are involved (professionally or as a hobby) in "film stuff" - editing software; cameras; etc. there's probably someone here who could point to known bugs in software / hardware if these exist.

Many people on HN are involved in selling stuff, which means they have an interest in manipulating people. Seeing examples of failed human interactions is instructive. Although it's tempting to say "you'd have to be a fucking idiot to think the cop's attitude would work" there are enough of these videos to show that people get caught up by something that cause poor interaction. There are probably examples of founders making similar mistakes leading to PR disasters.
Usenet. There are any number of very specific areas.

"that suggests the possibility that the video was edited before its release."

Is there another possibility?
I'd encourage you to check out some of the subreddits in the previous
HN discussion link I posted. I think they might be your best bet.

Though Lambda The Ultimate (LtU) is officially a blog, it does have
comments and it might be interesting for you. From their FAQ:

>"Mostly this site deals with issues directly related to programming
languages, and programming language research. However, we allow
ourselves moderate forays to bordering issues like programmability and
language in general."

http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/

Your desire to avoid "web-based" stuff suffers from the fact that such
large swaths of tech today are "web-related" in some way.

Your desire to avoid "compsci basics" suffers from the "News-To-Me"
problem.

Your desire to find "how X works inside" type content seems quite
similar to "how X works _in_ _practice_".

Given the above, I'd suggest reading current research papers. The
trouble with research papers on HN is, papers take more time and effort
to read, so they rarely get significant attention or useful discussion.

Using Algolia HN Search can uncover some research. Stuff like "[pdf]"
files, common sites, organization names, journal names, and even
conference names can be useful:

[pdf]
arxiv.org
plos.org
usenix.org
JMLR
OSDI
CVPR
ICML

One of the better efforts I've seen so far on the research paper front
is "Papers We Love":

http://paperswelove.org/

https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love

The trouble with "Papers We Love" is you need to live in one of places
where the physical meetings happen, and you need to be able to get to
said meetings. If you're home bound, then you're pretty much stuffed.

Good Luck
I'd definitely give you that. SPs are the last place you want business logic.
Modern day sport is more business than anything. Competition/show business is a weird thing - you need to have rules and you hope you don't get someone so good that the match becomes boring (there are exceptions though - Rhonda's fights last a few seconds to few mins at max). Money makes things weird. That is probably why some incredible athletes don't compete - Laird Hamilton for example.

Interestingly some very enterprise products don't even try and use database features like foreign key relationships - it can be a bit of a shock to open a database with many thousands of tables and realise that there is no obvious way to work out how they relate without looking at application level structures.
> Why people in the web world don't use stored procedures and constraints is a mystery to me.

We do. At least some of us, and honestly, it's not something I think about as being exceptional. I don't always use them, but I much prefer having a nice API of SPs to use rather than having to have custom SQL all over the place. DRY applies to writing queries just as much.
It can be edited for public use. And for good propaganda of course. ;-) But when in court, I hope they have the digitally signed version. If that one gets lost somehow, that would be bad.
If an officer says "Get out of the car please." You can ask if it's a question or an order.

If it's an order, get out of the car. White, black, asian, or hispanic, once that order is given, you're getting out of the car one way or another.

If you really think the order was given unlawfully, take it to court where these things can be debated.

I am not really complaining about Discrete Math. The book listed in Intermediate is fairly/horrendously difficult for someone who hasn't seen elementary treatment of the subject before.

Also, there are newer books of comparable quality to old classics like Algebra by Birkhoff/Maclane. If nothing, they have updated prose. Chapter 0 by Aluffi is phenomenal, for example.

I would not put a direct DB to HTTP REST API front-facing to the public, but it has its use-cases, I can imagine using it server-to-server for instance.
Meaning the timestamp is included as pixels in the video frame, it's not metadata. Usually the timestamp also has some alpha, it's not just a black background, so tweaking it would require some skill. This is far from foolproof but it at least raises the bar a little bit.
I wish there were something similar to Hacker News for IT. I work at a small nonprofit, and I handle both the web side and the hardware side. One day I'm making a data visualization with D3, the next I'm trying to understand why the printer won't print random chunks of a PDF. One day I'm configuring a new VPS, another I'm trying to figure out why the ClearOne in the conference room hates our VoIP system. I've found tons and tons of resources for web development anything. Similar resources for IT have been practically non-existent by comparison. Maybe I just don't know where to look?
Are you complaining that the anarchists seem extreme?

This entire discussion is ahistorical. Anarchists have murdered dozens of policemen, dozens of bosses, an American president and dozens of elected officials, and dozens of people for what they said all over the world. Anarchism is not about a fantasy of organizing society after the zombie apocalypse, it's a body of thought with a few hundred years of tradition. Feminism is central to that tradition.

We also don't know if we'll run into any negative feedback loops that'll cause cooling, either. The Earth's climate seems to be pretty stable over the last few million years insofar as life has been able to exist in ways that are -- in terms of microbiology, our cells machinery -- very familiar.

Given that we have record of that stability it seems likely that there are forces which push the climate towards that stability.

Of course it's impossible to know for sure either way until it happens and we witness it and write it down.

Very uninformed speculation. Visionect's previous products came with a water-tight, tamper-proof enclosure & a number of software based security measures, because one of their tablets interfaced with Point of Sale systems.

This is a bit more complex than a regular micro-controlled LCD. There are a number of ways you can drive an e-ink display. Then there are a number of ways you can choose to control such a display remotely. Last but not least, a sizeable chunk of the stack powering these displays is proprietary technology, and has been in development for more than 3 years.

Almost everything is hackable when you have physical access to the system. That's why such systems should detect and report tampering. Something regular traffic signs never did in the first place.
