It's pretty clear that he doesn't just mean Israelis

So you still have other stuff with AWS?

Lol. Def not for 5 year olds but it's about exactly what I needed

How about this:

Take a lot of pictures of a scene from different angles, do some crazy math, and then you can later pretend to zoom and pan the camera around however you want

They appear experienced at navigating this confusion

If your number of AB testing combos cohorts is fewer then 100 then yeah this passes for being uniform

Well I was curious, but there's a lot there I didn't understand. Apparently I'm good enough at math to do the proofs, but not to write the exercises.

Exercise left to the reader:

Prove 7*n^3 + n is divisible by 2

What does "DB queries" mean here? The on-device sqlite stuff?

That article is mostly about speed. The following seems like the one thing that might be relevant:

Naively, you could take the random integer and compute the remainder of the division by the size of the interval. It works because the remainder of the division by D is always smaller than D. Yet it introduces a statistical bias

That's all it says. Is the point here just that 2^31 % 17 is not zero, so 1,2,3 are potentially happening slightly more than 15,16? If so, this is not terribly important

The user ID is non uniform after hash and mod? How?

Liv, for instance, said that her creator team included zero Black people and was predominantly white and male.

There were definitely Chinese and Indian males too

I think they had been relying on lazy security by obscurity and it pretty much worked... until copilot

I do think sugar should be regulated more and probably excised taxed, but banning is a different thing altogether

So is sugar. Would you ban that? People have agency and choice

The revision system is not (not is it claimed to be) a sacred principle of life, morality, or society at large. It's a core tenet of WordPress.

Idk much about him but stacking school busses on top of each other with a crane or driving a train into a sinkhole seem like pretty interesting things to do. Better than geeking out over the bloodiest Mortal Kombat fatality or whatever I was doing at that age. What's an example of the more "crap" content?

If you really think that, then you should be all the more interested in what it means to execute on that allegedly-harmful effort well vs poorly

I have a crush on dang but it hasn't gone anywhere yet

There is another big reason not to call him "sunshine and rainbows"

Are links generated from Google apps like

https://maps.app.goo.gl/xxxxxxx

going to continue working?

I took my parent post as meaning the app language dependencies. Pip packages or ruby gems or "must be exactly python 3.12"

Most shell-ish scripts probably use no dependencies and will not be picky about exact version

Meta also uses (nearly) this for scripting to the search index. Both at index and query time. I think it's a good for that

If you're in an abstract/general mathematical function, then sure: single letters. If you're doing more business logic kind of stuff (iterating through a list of db/orm objects or processing a request body) then the names should be longer

Snow Crash is definitely overrated. I loved Cryptpnomicon, Baroque cycle, Anathem, REAMDE, Diamond Age

HN of a stack exchange of a reddit

(special shoutout to Money Stuff)

So long as they remain capable of reproduction in those later years

Are people really reading Youtube, pornhub, facebook, Instagram pages this frequently or are these misclicks from search result page?

Ah, but it was not like zombies! It was actually a very social phenomenon. I played during that summer (2016?) after not thinking about Pokémon for 15+ years. It was "dumb" but it was cool to have a shared mission, however arbitrary, with so many others. Coworkers pooling money to buy lures, strangers on the street recognizing what you were doing and pointing you the right way wishing good luck, massive groups in city parks.

You are correct that respect for private property or business purpose was likely violated by Pokémon Go players. But "zombie" is not a good description.

It's not forced labor. Your are welcome to not get paid.

Also, many people find a reason (even if arbitrary / contrived) useful for prompting creative endeavors

Hey it doesn't need to be efficient when you're just throwing money around. Pay someone else to rank them and pick the best ones. Some amount of them will be good
