Another good point, Ben. You seem interested in this stuff - would love to chat further - i'm myfirstname at leetresumes dot com.

We're intending to have a regular check-in to collect facts throughout the years that we then save until you're ready to update your resume. We've also thought about how we could be helpful in 1-on-1s, promotion reviews, and annual performance reviews.
Tape reels would probably be best for cold storage, not paper or live, network connected disks.
That's nothing when the PS2 is able to play MPEG2 video (DVD's), something only a late Pentium2 could do, often with a hardware decoder or a good video card.

And the MPEG1 spec is compatible with MPEG2 based decoders on the PS2, so the effort on it would be almost null.

As I said, Gen-Zers understimate late 90's/early 00's hardware.

Also, the PS2 GPU was a data monster, refilling the VRAM like nothing. Ask the PCSX2 developers about that.
I think what he's saying is to just have a service that emulates what he described simplebank doing for him with Stripe Treasury and the banks that support it.
AMD has really shown the way in this aspect. They have a lady who was a PhD in a Semiconductor Electronics (I forgot what the exact name was) and she's worked as a techie and as a manager for a long time to get a grip of both. The results speak for themselves.
I'm nauseous.
They are representatives to people and basically shake hands and kiss babies for a living. They can’t be isolated.

Obviously, the security services stood back and had high level direction to do nothing. They left a few capitol police flapping in the breeze and the cavalry (national guard, other law enforcement) never showed up.

I work near a VA hospital, and a few years ago a deranged man was running around the grounds with a machete and what looked to be a rifle. They activated their protocol and within 10 minutes mutual aid (Federal Protective Service police, State Troopers, local PD were on site.

That didn’t happen. I hope Biden purges the top layers of career management in those police agencies as well as the commanders of the National Guard. They failed the nation.
Thank you. We need open source state of the art AI.

Short Bio: I'm a software engineer based in West Palm Beach, FL. I'm the co-creator of Campion, https://campion-breaker.github.io, an edge-based serverless middleware for implementing circuit-breaking functionality for distributed services. Previously, I founded BooklyBox, which was successfully acquired by Quarterly, https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/12/pagehabit/.
Btw, does "Isomorphic Javascript" rub anyone the wrong way or am I the only one.

It seems like someone watched a Haskell tutorial and copied a smart sounding word and just appended it to Javascript. This used to be called "code reuse". But that doesn't sound as cool anymore.
Yes, we considered a few others. For instance, we thought about "retreat" but decided against it because it felt too limited, and we considered "institute" but worried it would come off as pretentious.

Center is definitely kind of a "dead" word, but we'd rather err on the side of too little meaning rather than too much given our past mistakes :) (We also like the acronym "RC" more than "RR" or "RI.")

Thanks for the thoughtful comments!
Let us know if you have any questions! There's some _really cool_ stuff going on there, but it can be tough to wade through depending on your experience.
Glad it resonated! You have to choose where you invest your learning time or it is too easy to get overwhelmed and lost.
> The treated water has been building up because more than 100 tons of groundwater seeps into the wrecked reactor basements every day, mixing with highly radioactive debris.

If you can put 100 tons a day into orbital escape velocity, various governments would love to talk to you.
I cannot quite exclude another idea, that the age-related framing of the mistake is simply a cover-up for a much more prosaic error, perhaps of embarassing quality.

"Cultural differences" is an easy scapegoat.
Safer option would be to bury it deep underground. Much ado has been said about this approach due to long-term uncertainty, but even 100-1000 years of safe storage is better than dumping it into the ocean, or having it explode on the launchpad - at least imo. Future us can always go back and improve storage as technology brings new possibilities.
> Is there a way to connect (preferable with the ability to post) with it for free?

Yep, you can get a free account at https://www.eternal-september.org/ if your ISP doesn't carry newsgroups (note it's for text groups only). Personally, I use Thunderbird as a newsreader (and my ISP still carries most newsgroups), there are also dedicated apps like Pan: http://pan.rebelbase.com/
It's 5:18 AM here on the Left Coast. I haven't slept yet, despite that I have two telephone interviews this afternoon.
HN and the Tech Blogosphere tend to be populated by a certain community and that community is influenced by their common opinions and tastes. Right now the common belief amongst that community is we’re moving into a period where software matters more than hardware and platforms are more important than phone companies.

Call it the “App Store Mentality”

Sure you can build apps for Symbian just as you can build apps for the now redubbed Classic Windows Smartphone. But the lack of an app store represents a barrier that seems to prevent normal people from installing apps. This in turn makes Symbian look like an OS that’s built around the old model of apps just being a cool thing that power users can do.

So I don’t think it’s Nokia as much as it’s their dedication to a platform that seems to be trying to maintain the old status quo where Manufacturer and Carrier are more powerful than platform.
Censored information can be distributed anonymously in the small, but in practice, in the large, censorship still works to marginalize content to a medium that is not readily accessible, save to a technically savvy few (Tor, freenet, I2C). For 99% of the intended audience, it can still be effectively censored.

Is it possible to have anonymity, security and generally-usable accessibility? Not necessarily speed -- latency can be acceptable when the user isn't stuck waiting in real time on a spinning circular icon.
A/B testing for this sort of thing is probably overthinking it :p, but I get your meaning though
Just curious - would you guess Asian students were under or over represented among those classes? I haven't seen any data on it, but I know how I'd bet...

Reason I bring it up is, you seem to be implying the classes were favoring white students, and if that were true presumably you expect they disadvantage Asian students. Is that what you think?
The easiest fix for this issue is to not use Wayland, like 99% of users. I'm not sure who gave you the idea that Wayland is production ready, but it's certainly not going to see prime-time Linux for another few years.
>Beer is cheapest in South Africa, where a culture of buying in bulk

That makes little sense given the data provided. SA is cheapest at the hotel bar (where you can't buy bulk) but not cheapest at the super market (where you can).

Alternate theory: Cheap labour, cheap local inputs. Plus loads of capacity. Up until recently the worlds 2nd biggest producer was SABMiller. The SAB part stands for South African Breweries.
This is great! We need more solar powered projects!
Don't forget Kuro5hin!

I had the idea I'd be able to attract some consulting clients if I answered lots of questions at StackOverflow.

I expect that would work well were I to keep it up, but after just one day of devoted overflowing, I came to the conclusion that my brain would explode were I to persist.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was written this way only because it's just how everyone writes such things these days (i.e. "it's cancer!!!1111") - but not having malicious intent doesn't change the fact it's harmful.
Weird. When I interviewed at MS, education never came up at all. Just lots of algorithms questions, from ~9am to 7 in the evening. I was about 24 at the time.

I wouldn't ditch GPA for no reason, but avoiding a bad professor and getting a good one seems far more valuable overall.
It's hard to even quantify what kind of development it is.

The official chart that diagrams the steps in the process [1] is poster sized and is absolutely mind boggling. Even after multiple (mandatory!) courses explaining it to me I would find it impossible to explain to my 65 year old mother, which to me means that I do not really understand it. Probably no one really understands it as written except the instructors that the DoD hires to teach it to people.

To be fair, the original Xbox was quietly removed from store shelves and software development halted immediately after the 360 was announced. Contrast this with the average console support cycle of several years into the new generation.
The problem is that a new protocol that will be implemented by everybody and their brother in buggy ways will see a lot of debugging initially, and that's usually when my phone rings. Tools like wireshark will have plug-ins for the protocol, assuming it is implemented correctly those plug ins will show you what's going on at the HTTP2 level. But since that's with a high likelihood exactly where the bugs will be that part isn't going to work, which translates into digging through hexdumps for the foreseeable future trying to figure out why widget 'x' doesn't want to talk to device 'y' when the moon is full and the wind is from the west.

With a text based protocol you at least stand a fighting chance, I've done my share of slogging though dumps and I'm not looking forward to a repeat. One of the main reasons I suspect HTTP caught on as fast as it did was because people could actually look under the hood and understand the basics and figure out where things went wrong without resorting to dumping the the data and counting out which variable length header bit got it wrong this time.

HTTP isn't perfect, don't get me wrong (not specifying an end-of-line for the header with a single character was a mistake in my opinion, and there are a few quirks that make a much faster header parser impossible but that's minor stuff).

So, the telnet by hand case will still work, but that's not where the bugs will be, in fact, testing using 'telnet' will quite possible show you a situation inconsistent with the one using the newer version of the protocol. Having two delivery methods for the same data under the hood is a bad idea to begin with.
The W540 has Thunderbolt, but also miniDP. I guess that's OK. But seeing as how they try to ape Apple, who knows what the next gen will bring.
What exactly does the ease of acquiring a bogus cert have to do with the complexity of X.509?
Extensions springs are the old way. Common for a few decades at least. Torsion springs are the new way. They're safer, and smaller, and require less maintenance.

Unfortunately, they're also a bit more fragile. Speculation (mine) is that the metallurgy required to make a big torsion spring makes the material more brittle than standard spring steel. Or maybe they're just thinner and cheaper.

They sure are loud when they snap though.
Bit.ly has to store the entire document encoded in base64 as the URL of the destination in their database in order to return to users the value of the given bit.ly URL hash. In essence, yes, bit.ly is storing the entire document on their servers anytime anyone shortens a hashify.me link.

Think if it like the difference between the postal service letting you know there is a package that you can go pick up at the post office, and the postal service giving you a package at your home or work that cannot be opened until you go to the store to buy a box cutter, but you have to bring the package with you.

The first example is cheap, since you only receive a pointer or link to where the package is, but you have to do all the work to get it. The second is not cheap, since if the package was a bed from Ikea (for a random large example), the postal service (bit.ly) has to deliver the package to you, and then you have to go somewhere (hashify.me) while carrying that package in order to see what's inside.
How is this taking on content farms??

I'm sorry to say, but this is one of the ugliest sites I've seen in a quite a while. If you're going to call yourself 'greatist' and yes, i read your about page so I almost get it, you really need to have a stand-out great design.
oh yeah. I completely didn't write about the problems with oil immersion. Well, I'm far from an expert on the matter, but the idea does come up from time to time, usually with some home built thing or another. Now, 'water cooling' comes up more often than full-on oil immersion, but usually you talk about using non-conductive coolant, so 'water cooling' in the worst case is oil immersion. I mean, you will occasionally have leaks.

The primary perceived problem with cooling with a liquid is that leaks suddenly become a really big deal. That's what'd scare me as an operator. what happens if there's a leak? I mean, air cooling systems usually have enough redundancy that even big holes in air pipes aren't going to overheat anything, at least at the nicer data centers, and the chiller fluid is far enough away from the servers that in the case of a leak the worst case is that the data center smells like mold for a while. (yeah, I've worked in some smelly data centers. no fun. But it wasn't a threat to our servers. the A/C was redundant, and there were drains.)

There are other problems, I think, with how the hydrodynamics and thermodynamics of oil differ from the hydrodynamics and thermodynamics of air, but really I know so little about that subject that I can't speak intelligibly about the problem.

Also, those racks look big, like they hold a bunch of smaller servers. what happens when I've got a hardware problem with one server and I've got to pull it out? do the remaining servers run okay? how do I work on the dead hardware? can I set it up on a test bench? will the dust in the room get in and clog up the works? will I need to test it in some smaller tank of coolant?

Then, after that, you have the same problem as any new and unique system. Standard parts. We weren't born yesterday, we've all seen (and most of us have been burnt by) blades, and we all know that if you put yourself in a situation where you can only buy parts from one vendor, you get fucked. So once you solve the problems of oil immersion, you then need to standardize the set up.

But yeah, like I said, I'm no expert at oil immersion, so some of these may be wrong. However, these are the sorts of things operators worry about when the subject comes up.

Also, the idea of using standard coolant in and coolant out plugs on every server, you know, water cooling style, so every server would need water blocks on every hot part rather than just submerging the damn thing is far more common.
Sony is a company that happily plays bait and switch, especially with geek-appeal features. If you like the way a sony phone looks, then by all means buy it for its appearance. If you like any features of the phone (especially geek-appeal features), don't expect them to last. Sony has disabled features in the past, and will probably do so in the future.
There is no max length in the standard. Of course every browser has a max it can handle. For IE it is 2000 characters.
Yeah, not really. Strong procedures are frequently a hinderance at that size, so they just don't get put in place.
Love it, I want to share your site as a quick tip on our show http://rowshow.com. On Thursday. Can you hook me up with a promo code to give out to viewers? Email in my profile.
Trapdoor function means the function is easy to calculate in one direction, but is difficult to calculate in the other direction without knowing a special bit of information that allows this calculation much easier.

What would a trapdoor value be for SHA1 ?

What I can agree is that I would like the cryptographic hash to be a one-way function, yes. But not trapdoor functions, please :-)

(and can you point to the definition of the hash functions that you described ? I'm curious).
So does that mean we can finally stop listening to Cringely altogether? I am an IBM employee and I can tell you a lot of my fellow IBMers had a really bad week-end because of his ridiculous claims.

For context see previous discussion on the 110000 employee layoff that won't happen: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8944637
Good luck with that. MUMPS is an interesting beast. Before you embark on that I suggest you look into some medium sized MUMPS based project to get an idea of the kind of flavor of madness you'll be engaging.

But I agree with you that if you can pull this off you'll be doing well financially.

Even better: a MUMPS -> Java automatic translator (or maybe Python or Ruby, but I think the Java would be an easier sell in that market).
You piqued my curiosity. What's the Carlos Slim comment related to?
Yeah, it was pretty boring when they announced the iphone. Hardly anyone talked about it.
A program that does not "allow the kind of access that the media originally reported"?

Patients who know their conditions to the extent that they're able to have a well informed discussion with you at the visit are still quite uncommon. Most people google their diagnoses and glance at the top 2-3 hits, but very very few really dig deep into the guidelines, physiology or publications to see if what is being recommended makes sense. I think there's still a lot of faith being placed in experts, which in my opinion is appropriate because the likelihood of someone misunderstanding what they've read still exceeds the chance that they've uncovered ways to further optimize.

That being said, learning is always good. I always encourage people to discuss anything they've read with me. I print out guidelines, trial data, etc in the interest of leveling the playing field and complete transparency. There's really no point in trying to maintain an information gradient.

Now the article is not about understanding your disease, but rather, having complete access to your medical records- which is a related but different issue. Unfortunately, 99% of people have no idea what people are writing about them and I find that really troubling. Not sure why, but patients still seem to feel that it's somehow antagonist to ask to have a look. Like it's some threat or precursor to a lawsuit. It's not. When I turn the screen and ask the family to gather around so I can explain stuff, there's often hesitation or even surprise - "What? Can I really look at that? Is that ok?". Yes You Can folks.
This is just not true (your first claim that is, I would say people use it for multiple reasons). Adblock can certainly conserve resources in some cases. I know one webpage that loads 2-3 very resource-intensive banner ads every 30 seconds or so. I've seen websites that do a lot worse too.
> the best Internet Explorer they could put on such things at the time (it was Microsoft, after all)

Say what you will, the IE on my HTC Windows CE-based phone (I forget the model) was actually better than its contemporary IE in supporting standards correctly.
Please don't do this here, even if someone else is wrong.
> You don't think the Chinese knew that already?

Dude, cantelon, drop the partisan stuff and think for a second. A single offhand mention like, "Donated to informant's mother's pension fund" might be enough to identify an informant, round up him and his family, and torture them to death.

I get it. You're in favor of Wikileaks and don't like the U.S. government. But they're doing reckless crazy stupid shit here. Everyone regardless of politics should be able to see that, if you look at the summaries of what they released.
Just sent an e-mail about 2UL.net, thank you!
Here's a quick summary of the broader implications of that link, because I had trouble wrapping my head around it at first.

Suppose you have the ability to take a chunk of text and construct a partial parse state from it. In the case of regexp matching, these partial parse states are functions mapping one state of the regexp matching automaton to another. You need one more thing: the ability to append two of these partial parse states, combining them into one. In the regexp example, this is just function composition. The key here is that this operation must be associative, and there must be an identity element: some partial parse state such that combining it with another state doesn't change anything. And its result must also be a partial parse state. This combination of parse states and an associative binary operation is called a monoid.

Once you have these conditions fulfilled, you can do all sorts of fun stuff. For instance, you can represent a string as a tree of chunks, and cache partial parse states at the nodes in the tree. That way, when you change the string, you can recompute the changed parse states in something like O(lg n) time, rather than going through and re-parsing the entire string. Or you can almost trivially parallelize your parser.

A week ago, I did exactly this: I had a language that needed parsing, and I wanted to incrementally reparse when I changed the (potentially very long) string, so I used a finger tree and wrote an incremental parser. It works beautifully.
Easily circumvented; just link to a site that links to WikiLeaks. If many thousands of such sites appear, the government won't be able to keep up with them.

EDIT: And if they try to outlaw the transitive closure of sites that link to WikiLeaks, they'll probably soon find that's most of the Web.
A Java developer complaining about Ruby's supposed verbosity? What's the world coming to?! When one looks at Java code, 90% of it is just syntactic sugar, which doesn't add much to the actual working code. One has to filter through large amounts of white noise to get to the crux of the code. Not so with Ruby (and many other languages).
Yeah even gamete epigenetics is not particularly explored at this point outside of plants and a handful of tiny organisms.
Take a deep breath and step away for a minute. You're not alone, and lots of other people right here in this thread are also opposed to censorship. Dying on a hill isn't what we need, and in fact given that you're here, you're probably uniquely qualified to help in the great effort of building the next generation of censorship-resistant technology. Haters gonna hate, but coders gonna code. It'll take time, but we've succeeded before and we'll succeed again.
good. Was initially weird to be back in classes at 38 with people half my age. A decade of msft experience set me up really well to plan my own course, though, where some of my classmates basically had their course set by their supervisor. Apply for scholarships, funders love experience!
The federal government has identified semiconductor manufacturing as a critical piece of national infrastructure. If it comes to it, Intel can get subsidized like Boeing.
