Nintendo, Doom, Unreal, Maya (not Autodesk), Nuke, VRay... beautiful products altogether. Its almost always teams of people but leads are key.
If he is senile (and a fair amount, but not all, of the "evidence" for that is propaganda), then it probably means that his cabinet will mostly run the show or that he'll be removed from office. This same line of thinking gave me some peace of mind on Trump, and it really held for about a year and a half that it took him to fill the cabinet with more pliant people.
Wait, why?

You want cops to be more like stoic stormtroopers? If every cop out there took a selfie with rioters, it would have been easier to manage them by a degree. Imagine hundreds of selfies with cops were posted in right wing social media, how will that not make right wing protestors have a nicer attitude towards the cop in the future?

what's really the downside of letting this happen? Not focused on crowd control? This is also crowd control.
Probably relevant: if I go to the terms/privacy policy via settings, I am greeted by the following preamble.

"If you don't live in the European Region, WhatsApp LLC provides WhatsApp to you under this Terms of Service and Privacy Policy."
Assign everyone an IP V6, there's plenty. Then treat that as our internet phone number. Define a chat protocol that contains the very basics and everyone has to support that. Want to send a chat, you have their IP V6. Exchange using QR code. No server necessary for the basics. If a text fails sending device can keep trying or just give up.

This takes chat away from any single service.
Both can be true.

Banning him years ago would be censorship but with clear rules equally applied to all.

Now we are unequal censorship.

Twitter is trending down and will probably not recover but they were going to take a nosedive after Trump left. This gives them political points with the left.
LINQ is one of the best programming inventions in the last 20 years. It saves hundreds to thousands of lines of code in general application development. It also makes code easier to read.
I can only second edw519's comment, and add a bit to it.

Building enterprise software is not only about building software, it's also about processes. Every company with more than a dozen employess has processes for dealing with just about everything. How information flows from A to B, who controls it, who can edit it, who can view it and who approves it.

This is primarily a strategic decision. Enterprise software has to accomodate processes and play by the rules, powergames and politics set forth by the firm it is used by. This is different than building B2C apps where the goal is more transparent. If you build dropbox the goal of the software is pretty obvious. If you build enterprise software there are a lot of stakeholders with diffferent agendas and priorities, and if you want to sell to them you need to accomodate all of them. So you need to knwo how firms operate behind the lines, and you definitely have to know how to sell to them. How good the software is is only one of many priorities.
Sabotage entails (for me, at least) some furtiveness and it seems to me that they are very clear about their motives and desires. And they are completely within their right.
The way to fix this is through highly granular free market economics. Let a company set standards and empower multiple groups to compete to those standards.

This sounds good to hackers like us who work at small companies, but it's actually fairly dangerous for a big company to do this. One of the groups might risk the company (rather than just themselves) in order to make largish profits.

An extreme example of this: suppose AIG Financial Products is independent of AIG Boat Insurance. Then AIG Financial Products might make really risky bets which, if they go bad, could also take out AIG Boat Insurance and AIG Event Liability Insurance.
C-sharp and mono will allow it to run on all 3 platforms (OSX, Linux, and Windows).
Arguing that 9/11 can happen in cyberspace is complete idiocy. No one will die if crackers take out the IRS database, unleash a worm, or release credit card data on everyone in the country. Saying these two events are somehow equivalent really takes away from the meatspace event that changed America forever.
Clearly because there's a vast conspiracy by the NSA to target HN readers. Or because that was a stupid story.
This interview question sounds disingenuous, if this was the only correct answer. It’s sort of a poorly worded question, and I’d only ask it if I wanted to see how the interviewer poked holes in it. Even then I’d be sort of an asshole for it. But the main reason it’s disingenuous is the same reason HN has the rule to always be generous with your interpretation of comments. Words are ambiguous, and people take lots of shortcuts to save time at the expense of precision. ‘Hole’ in the context of this question can very reasonably be generously be interpreted as ‘the space where the final hole will be at time q’. It sounds like a ‘gotcha question’, and these have no place in an interview.

Meanwhile, keep your head up. You can sort of learn to turn down the literal interpretation impulses of your brain, if that’s something causing you pain. It’s something I’ve gotten better at over the last 30 years (though its still really hard when I’m tired or stressed). It makes casual encounters easier, and more enjoyable when I do.
Almost all modern firearms cannot accidentally discharge. There are varying safety mechanisms, one being a block of metal in front of the firing pin. You can grab a S&W and smack the hammer if you want, you won't detonate the primer.
At most, you're looking at an extra pipeline stage for all of that. The less I$ pressure is almost certainly worth it.

The real cost you're looking at is the complexity for instructions to straddle cache lines and MMU pages, but even then it's less of a deal than you might think.
Every language I know has an easy to use wrapper/functionality for strong password hashing.

The pricing model of this business means there’s a likely 50/50 chance of it closing in ~12 months because not enough customers choose the paid option.

It is normal to promote yourself on the company blog. It’s not normal to submit that as “news”.
> It is the intellect that gets a workout. The exact opposite of the soccer.

I think you deeply underestimate how much thought and intellect go into playing soccer. It is a game, and applying intelligence to it is necessary to be good at it.

Disclaimer: I don't like football (US: soccer), but I know very smart people that play.
A slightly different take on this. I've recently seen people combine Pandoc[1] with their own (generally quite small) shell script. It's pretty amazing how little time it can take just using Pandoc / shell to come up with something that's just right for your needs, without all the bells and whistles.

Sorry for no reference, but I remember reading about attacks in US homes, and it was more common to be shot by the gun you had at home (if you had any) than being shot by other weapon by a large margin. The most common case was shooting yourself by mistake...
My guess is they should set the price as the patent trolls do. If someone has a patent and threatens to sue another company, they set the settling price at just below what it would take to fight it out in the court.

Well the domain name holders are allowed to do it only once though.
As I interpreted it, Twitter is not going to longify links. The display_url entity will be the exactly link passed in by the user. So if a user pastes in a bit.ly link, it will still show the bit.ly link.
Yeah, apple is making out like a bandit while AT&T ponies up the cash and takes a reputation hit every 2 months.
The short answer is yes. In general, any editor is allowed to quote/cite relevant text, even if that text comes from a blog (regardless of the who wrote the blog).

The long answer is that if the article's content is disputed such a scheme will probably not last very long under scrutiny. The personal blog of Paul Krugman or Bruce Schneier would obviously carry more weight than text from John Doe's blog created last week. Further, the published books or journal articles of scholars would obviously take precedence over blog posts.

So, while citing things is always good, you can't really count on citing Encyclopedia Dramatica entries to keep your additions from being deleted/reverted/edited/removed. The authority of the citation matters when your edit is disputed—simply slapping a footnote+link on your text isn't a magical shield.
Exactly. Was there a practical reason for the restrictions on tight bends and creases? Or was that just to make it interesting?

Edit: Please don't downvote this, I legitimately want to know why.
Great essay. Verbalized exactly what I was thinking.
Perhaps they'll eventually have iAds for the web and this is step one in their evil genius plan.

This also adds another dimension to the browser wars. Microsoft, Google and Apple all have browsers, all have ad platforms. Any of them could make their browser block out annoying Flash(y) ads and replace them with JPGs, smaller format ads, nothing or their own ads.

The browser with the best browsing experience wins, not the browser who follows standards religiously. Chrome is an excellent example, they're adding very important features that are getting them market share because standards alone are not sufficient for promoting the web as a platform.

Reformatting websites is not a new idea, but a new money dimension could make things interesting.
I think that the concern with #1 was not having one's stuff one somebody else's server. It is that if said server becomes unavailable, there is no alternative left. So if you bet on git, how do you get your nice wikis, bug trackers, HTTP access and whatnot without GitHub?
The state is being saved in the http example, but you can't see it because it's a functional test at the http client level. Think of the test code as a script controlling a browser. boss_test:get_request and boss_test:follow_link are hitting the http server where all the state saving action occurs.
Google's initial efforts were directed very much at RIM. RIM's guiding strategy never had anything to do with form factor. It was always to provide the killer experience for email, with special attention to corporate email.
Android took a shot at RIM by focusing on gmail integration and a great email experience (including frequent polling to get the same effect as push email) to the detriment of other areas of the user experience. It didn't have a focus on corporate, but they also knew that more and more people were using traditionally personal email services for business purposes (and they did know immediately that it was necessary and were working on exchange support). While they still had room to improve the email experience, they provided what many considered the best mobile email experience from the G1 onward. They then continued to improve everything else in the direction of the industry bests, which yes included UI inspiration from iphone.

Also, the idea that early hardware used for developing software is any indication of the ultimate direction is ridiculous. Touch interface is one of the last things you're going to tack onto an operating system. Even if it is a core part of your user interface, you need to get all the underlying parts you never want the user to know about working first, and that is just alot easier with hard interfaces.
If you have a hardware token, not on the computer.. and use that as part of your VPN, if your computer is compromised, your account won't be able to be used to reconnect to VPN while you are afk without that hardware token... if the software/key are on the machine, they have your password, and the generator for 2fa... they don't even need your machine anymore... that is definitely less secure.
I'd like to hear more about this if you don't mind expounding on it some. I realize that in a certain light that's how it looks (I'm no stranger to a lot of what used to be called conspiracy theories, including the long history of illegal surveillance) but honestly it's always looked to me like the powers that be, in America, genuinely try to operate in a benign fashion. I realize that's not the same as operating in a legal or legally spirited fashion, but I also don't see it as flagrantly hypocritical enough to warrant the cynicism you've presented.
I'm impressed, honestly, I want one. I imagine this is going to become a cool collectors item some day. I never want to be seen driving it though.
Pretty legit. Really amazing prices too. I wonder how much money they'll make per car.
The key is to not make it popular. Have a barrier to entry.
they broke the armour glass on stage, maybe accident? maybe not?
That sounds like a pretty clear case of fraud. It would only take one report with pictures of that coupon to remove the product.

But why would they. They have your money already.
I guarantee the flux capacitor will be extra.
Going to stick with the Rivian truck...
As an automotive engineer my mind is unable to process this as real.

Are they being serious?

Very very risky move on styling
Why will ARM succeed where MIPS faded into obscurity? (Well, relative obscurity. I see they are still used in media devices and cheap routers.)

> In the classical world, new peoples could be still created (we call this ethnogenesis today -- we can read about it from classical sources).

New peoples/ethnic groups basically sprung up from localized subcultures. But the whole process could easily take many generations. We read about it comfortably in the sources because oral history of that ethnogenesis ended up being recorded in myths, and we can factor out the commonalities. Really though, it was no quicker or easier back then than it would be today.

> was a quite different institution than what we think of today

I'm not sure I would agree about this. If you asked me about a significant difference, I would have to point to just how normalized it was within the ancient world. Pretty much every group practiced it. That's why the idea of a 'justification' of it from nature was probably not even taken all that seriously, even by those who thought about the issue. Ultimately, the Stoics were the most consistent in wanting to mitigate it, and their main concern was the slave's overall welfare within the arrangement, not necessarily some abstract idea of freedom. Naturally, increased freedom could be a side effect of such changes. (Of course, as is reasonably well known, there was no similar reforming impulse in the U.S. prior to abolition proper.)
Fermenting alcohol that tastes good is not easy enough to justify a mass market product. Furthermore, why buy this when you can just buy cheap boxed wine that probably tastes much better than whatever you would get from fermenting reconstituted dry grape concentrate?
Wouldn't update it at all. The "payload" is the last sentence, with the preceding list just broad examples, none of which needs updating.
I'm ok with that, not everyone has to like my blogging style.
It was back in the early days, right about when spam was becoming a thing. I got an email from an address I didn't recognize. I took the chance, and opened anyway.

It turned out to be the girl I had a huge crush on in High School, writing to say hi. She had bumped into my sister earlier that day, who gave her my email address.

We met for dinner the next time I visited my parents. We hit it off, dated, and then got married in 2000.

Every time I think about it, I'm so glad I didn't delete that email as spam.
I managed to get two, a digital (€400) and a Blu-ray model (€500) a few weeks ago from Carrefour here in France.

It is a bit of a pain having to monitor stock drops but most online stores have a queue system in place as well as purchase limits to try and make life harder for people that buy up every console they have to just put them on eBay at twice the price.

A colleague of my wife managed to get a PS5 in a fnac store a few weeks ago as well. Just went in randomly and asked and they had them in stock. Only a few and they sell out quick so was just luck in that instance but if you put in a little effort you can get one in a week or two (depending on stock allocation of course) without having to pay over the MRSP.
How many teenagers read newspapers?

I mean, I did, but I also didn't join the Army...
AFAICT (and IMHO peculiarly) nobody in this "affair" was ever actually charged with "revealing the identities of CIA agents", and Scooter Libby was definitely neither tried nor convicted of same. He was convicted of crimes (perjury, obstruction of justice), absolutely, but none that match your claim.

Further, according to [1] the case was pressed anew as a civil suit (by Wilson(s), and later, CREW, against Cheney, Rove, and Libby) which reached as high as the Supreme Court, failing at each step.

"The Wilsons have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their appeal of the U.S. Court of Appeals ruling. On May 20, 2009, the Justice Department, in a brief filed by Solicitor General Elena Kagan ...

"According to the brief filed by the [Obama] Justice Department:

"Petitioners allege that Novak's July 14, 2003 column publicly disclosed Ms. Wilson's covert CIA employment and that that disclosure 'destroyed her cover as a classified CIA employee.' Petitioners, however, allege that Novak's source was Armitage, and do not allege that any of the three defendants against whom Mr. Wilson presses his First Amendment claim-Cheney, Rove, and Libby-caused that column to be published. In the absence of factual allegations that Mr. Wilson's alleged injury from the public disclosure of his wife's CIA employment is 'fairly traceable' to alleged conduct by Cheney, Rove, or Libby, petitioners have failed to establish Article III jurisdiction over Mr. Wilson's First Amendment claim."[1]

yeah for sure - and the nuclear ships situation was something that, in my opinion, gave many kiwis a tiny sense of identity and freedom; politely declining a Friend Request from the biggest superpower in the world because we're not prepared to compromise on what we believe in.

Is that changing?
Suppose all that is true. You're still wrong to be rude. It degrades the discourse and violates the rules of this site.

Besides, tzs wasn't talking about karma. He was talking about getting shouted down.
I've observed that there is at least a 10x, possibly greater, difference in the caliber and culture of various organizations. So if you failed interviews at organizations A, B, and C, but are doing OK in your job at D, it doesn't imply that you would have succeeded in A, B, or C, possibly due to differences alone.
The stupid part about that logic re:images is that you get graceful degradation for free in systems that don't implement the additional Accept header.
Where I work, an interview is a full day thing. I'm pretty happy with how it works:

After going through an initial resume screening and phone call, you show up on-site in the morning.

You then give a presentation about some recent work you've done. For those fresh out of school, it's generally about their grad work.

Then you have a series of 1/2 to 1 hour interviews through the day, mostly with people who were at your talk that morning.

The individual interviews tend not to be the Google-style "please implement a data structure for XYZ on the board" sort of thing. Rather, we'll ask about things from your talk or your resume that interest us. We might describe some work we've done here, to hear what you think about the problem, how you might have solved it.

A lot of what we're looking for is how well you're able to communicate your responses. We also want to get a feel for personality, how well you work with others and how well your personality will interact with the people here. I believe this place is actually pretty diverse, and I like to think we don't fall into the "culture fit = 20-something white male" trap; however, some of the restrictions and circumstances of the work we do may make some people unhappy and we'd like to avoid that.

We also pick two people to take the candidate to lunch. This is supposed to be a chance to talk more about life in the area and what it's like to work here, although honestly a lot of that comes up during the regular interviews.

After all the interviews are done and the candidate leaves, the interviewers get together, share their impressions, and say whether or not they recommend hiring. The hiring manager then makes the final call.

It's not really suitable to everywhere, I'm sure, but I'm pretty happy with it.
Yes though a lot of this came "long after" the NT kernel (at least after NT 4.0)

A lot of innovations on NT are late as well to be fair, like the whole Application Views (?) of the system (basically an FS/Registry app sandboxing)
NT originally had a Unix subsystem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_POSIX_subsystem
I agree for the most part but features are increasingly demanding a ‘real-time’ feed or updates of sorts

Turbo is actually a rather simple way of achieving this with rails https://turbo.hotwire.dev/handbook/streams

Which is something that would be very clunky for stimulus
I mean on Windows it's

rd /s /q \path\to\something

There's zero ambiguity because both "/" and "\" are special characters.
I'm using home-manager. I haven't dived deeper into using flakes, though I intend to. For the post on "Installing and configuring NixOS," I'll create a separate repository for users not using NixOS and use GNU stow to manage the dotfiles.
That's why I don't trust anything from google. They just release too complex software (cause theirs devs can deal with this crap anyway and it's good to let others suffer xD)

Only thing that's somewhat good is Go lang.
> I just use and push code to Heroku and I'm done for the day, simple. NoOps I call it.

I just enter my Honda Civic and drive to my office. Simple. I call it "Sedan".

In all seriousness though, Kubernetes solves a specific set of problems. Just because you personally don't have these problems, doesn't mean that Kubernetes is bad, or that people who use it, don't need it.
Author here. I've been chatting with the Zig BDFL on Twitter recently about contributing APE support and he's been super supportive so far. It's going to be a nontrivial undertaking but would certainly be rewarding for everyone if we can make it happen.
Just got a Starlink invitation. But it has very expensive monthly rates, that are more than twice the rate of standard isp's. In rural areas.
$136 in Canada. Plus a lot of hardware. (625$)
It is very cool, though. Haven't decided. At this time - Only worth it as a tech geek out, experiment.
(Unless it gets better and cheaper.)
You could also publish on Android or the web and have access to a "the global audience".

Comparing the App Store with 20 years old methods is a fallacy. To be realistic you should compare using the Android/Mozilla/Windows/Web distribution methods.
> Key question will be how quickly Intel will shift to the next architecture, Sapphire Rapids. Will this release be like the consumer/desktop Rocket Lake? E.g. just a placeholder to essentially volume test the 10nm fabrication for datacenter. Probably at least a year out at this point since Ice Lake SP was supposed to be originally released in 2H2020.

Alder Lake is meant to be a consumer part contemporary with Sapphire Rapids, which is server only. They're likely based on the same (performance) core, with Adler Lake additionally having low-power cores.

Last I heard the expectation was still that these new parts would enter the market at the end of this year.
If I were hiring someone, I wouldn't think this was a big deal. Lots of people take more than four years to graduate from college for various reasons, e.g., financial or health problems.

Here are some stats:
