Can a sleep apnea machine (cpap, bipap) help if you get it and run into problems?
This just shows that so-called ‘technical’ analysis with no context is about as useful as trading based on horoscopes.

Add in some information like ‘a new pandemic threatens to shut the world economy for months and kill tens of millions of people’ and suddenly this changes.
Words are often used in ways that are etymologically inappropriate. Although “panic buying” sounds like it should require panic, it doesn’t. Other examples of this phenomenon include “automobile” meaning something different from “self-driving” and the way “American” implies “not Mexican” even though Mexico is a country in the continent of America.
The main benefit I see is the generality of the formulas with no special cases for things like parallel lines. That should still work.
I think it makes nice story but I would be very surprised if such a virus could spread. You have many router brands and versions and you would need to develop and test your firmware on many of those to make sure it can spread. Also, correct me if I am wrong but not many routers have easy way of uploading new firmware.
Both reasons are why I'm trying to develop an OSS alternative with easiness & platform-independence of the web but much lower system requirements than what electron has.

I'm currently close to prealpha, if you're interested.

"For the US, it was only the 34st warmest."

That has no significance at all though. You are talking about under 2% of the world's surface area.
Online drug dealers may not cause violent crime directly but you have no idea what their supply chain looks like. Unless they are manufacturing the drugs themselves, which is unlikely for most big-money drugs, there is likely blood in their supply chain.
The quote from the judge in the article:

"It's going to fall on deaf ears. Everyone has been on their best behavior since 2018, waiting for whatever happened in the DC Circuit [court case over the FCC's repeal of net neutrality]. I don't place weight on the argument that everything is fine and we don't need to worry."
SD cards are a simple serial interface that is well-documented at the block-device layer; the filesystem will likely be some variant of FAT, and I doubt the JPEG standard will be entirely forgotten, so while hardware like SD card readers may not be produced commercially anymore by then, anyone with the right knowledge can still make one.

This is, of course, supposing that the rather scary situation of heavily-locked-down devices and completely-restricted access to knowledge has not occurred...
I'd be very interested in experimenting with low doses of certain psychedelics, but the unknown quality, unknown provenance, full dose approach just doesn't appeal to me anymore. I wonder where you could find good quality crystal (or somehow measurable) LSD unless you pal around with very cool chemists. That's the big problem with interesting sounding illegal dugs.
That just means people with six figure savings won't use the service, it's still not clear how that helps them achieve profitability with such high interest rates
I think it's because you sound condescending when sharing your opinions and seem to be insisting that others should agree with your sentiment.
The thing is I don't really care about your ad hominem attacks on the messenger. Ngo posts video evidence and snapshots of arrest records. His Twitter feed is a more or less constant stream of primary evidence, often presented without comment. It speaks for itself. As for limited to a few square blocks, how is that relevant to what I said? The Capitol protests/riots are limited to a few square blocks as well.
I really like how Joe Armstrong speaks and writes so plainly. He always makes me feel good to learn from and not dumb.
Keep in mind that the Commodore C64 is "just" 40 years old and the rate of decay is not linear. I imagine the definition of the 100 year old computer probably targets more than "survivors".

The definition of the "100 year old computer" as described in the article is fuzzy and kind of a moving target. In the loosest interpretation anything can be a 100 year computer just as long as you care to maintain it for 100 years. If upgrading parts and building adapters for future technology fits that definition then you can do this with any machine, and the rest of the constraints are just artificial (like "must be offline first"). If you actually want to have as much of the original computer as possible for that century then it's no longer feasible.

As I mentioned in my original comment, they simply become the ship of Theseus. Heck, my own desktop is that, starting 20 years ago with one hardware config and a Windows XP and reaching now with completely different hardware and Windows 10 with no "full reset" in between, just upgrades and updates.
ha, that video is amazing!
I guess both presenters are trans? Interesting how many notable trans* programmers/engineers the field attracts.
> in the absence of facebook these groups would no doubt still exist.

I don’t think they would.

Creation, discovery, participation, following. None of these is particularly easy if you revert to forums and Google. I won’t join Cute Puppies Forum but I wouldn’t mind following an homonymous group on Facebook for a little while, maybe I’ll answer some questions too.

The average Joe won’t care enough to join their little city group, but Facebook makes it so easy that you find all kinds of non-tech people on it, ready to answer your questions (and sometimes insult you, but I block those on sight).
My understanding is that daisy chaining doesn't require a mixed USB and Thunderbolt signal, only Thunderbolt. Before USB 4, USB-C spec itself disallows hubs to passthrough an Alternate Mode and even Thunderbolt daisy chain also have to terminate at any point where USB is plugged in. In this case, I believe you can have Thunderbolt 3 hub that only carries Thunderbolt signal, but it will only work with Thunderbolt devices and not USB-C.
That is awesome! I appears the stage has maybe 10 m/s horizontal velocity and less than that vertical, but at that angle I can see how difficult it would be for just engine gimballing to get get it vertical again. I wonder if the barge is equipped to record a downlink of telemetry from stage. Once it gets close enough you should be able to shoot over at least some data which the barge could presumably keep 'safe' in a blast protected storage system.

There's no reason to assume that people are paying for the app and then pirating it -- it's perfectly easy to install a pirated apk from off the internet without paying for it at all. This in and of itself likely accounts for Android's higher piracy rate.
>I suspect you didn't study enough economics

I studied more than enough, and more than you. Why don't you tell me the areas of economics you think involve deep mathematics?
The date should be (2013) not (2018), as that dates it before Rust 1.0 (which does have a UTF-8 string type) and before the Julia 1.0 release date (which implements UTF-8 strings as arrays with irregularly spaced indexes, eg, the valid indexes may be 1, 2, 4, 5, if the character at 2 takes up two bytes). Both would be interesting examples to compare against if this article was written today.
> What were they smoking when they named as simple an operation as delete "Remove-ChildItem"?

Simple. All these commands work with providers, of which a file system is just one. Other providers include Windows Registry, environment variables, certificate stores, functions and variables in PowerShell runtime. More providers can also be created and plugged into the system. PowerShell Providers are essentially Window's FUSE. See [0] for details.

So, for instance, you can do `Get-ChildItem HKCU:` to list entries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the Registry, the same way `Get-ChildItem C:/` will list you top-level items on the C: drive. Worth observing: while the console output for these two commands is similar, the results are in fact different objects underneath (Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey vs. System.IO.FileInfo).

In short, these commands are an abstraction over file-system-like things. Whether or not that was a good idea is a different question.

> These things shouldn’t end with a bounty for the researcher and a patch by the vendor. It should end with a root cause analysis and a plan to fix that type of vulnerability across the entire app, or better yet, the whole industry via a research paper.

I'm unsure (and open to discussion) on which classes of bugs make that possible. My initial thought is that finding a stack overflow bug (to randomly choose a bug class) results in "don't goof up memory", which is technically correct, but not actually useful in finding others of that class.

In this hypothetical, maybe the result would some combination of accessing programming language choice, programming practice, and testing tooling? Can't say those are a silver bullet though.

Has this problem been filed as an issue with Jens Axboe? I would like to hear his response to it. https://github.com/axboe/liburing I believe.

> There's also alot of security implications

To be clear, this is liburing, NOT the io_uring syscalls that I would assume Tokio would opt for.

> io_uring is basically just a threaded work dispatcher

Only under SQPOLL mode. This isn't an inherent property of io_uring.

> All these process semantics are totally hidden and non-obvious

Again, only if you use liburing. The syscalls make this abundantly clear, as there's no other way to program for them.

> These known and unknown future pitfalls

The problem isn't with io_uring here, the problem is with the over-saturation of the development world with people who do not care about doing things correctly or safely but instead quickly and cost-effectively.

This is not unique to io_uring, however. Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

> And all the fanciest programming language type safety in the world won't save you.

I agree whole-heartedly.

> Expect several years of easy remote exploits down the road...

I would rather be interested to see which sidechannels were attacked in order to take advantage of io_uring. Those vulns are going to lay with the framework implementors and the users of frameworks, less with io_uring. But I understand the concern.

"I wonder how much a gateway router can do here."

"... cutting off tracking and ads is best done by browser extensions ..."

What if the browser vendor, who is also a data collector, requires user to log in or otherwise identify herself before she can use extensions.

A home "gateway" is a computer running a kernel with IP forwarding enabled that is being used as the point of egress from the home network to the internet. That is a broad definition and allows for much creativity. That is what I mean by the term "gateway". As such, a gateway can, both in theory and in practice, do anything/nothing that "desktops and laptops, and even phones" can do. Relying solely on pre-configured "limited/special purpose" OS projects as a replacement for DIY and creativity in setting up a gateway was not what I had in mind, but is certainly an option amongst many others.
They seem to leave out the obvious, which is that there's just no way transporting you plus 1-2 tons of car from A to B, is ever going to use less energy than transporting you plus a 20-pound bike, or you plus nothing.
No, sa_data is a minimum size, not a maximum. For unix domain sockets you should look at the definition of sockaddr_un which has char sun_path[104]; but again, that's a minimum reserved size and if you allocate a larger size you can use sockets with longer names.

And, the 14 character limit in old unix was for individual path components, whereas unix domain sockets contain complete paths, so the 14 character limit was never relevant for unix domain socket addresses.
This isn't always feasible or practical. People can't always foresee the future (otherwise gambling wouldn't be a thing). So we can't assume that a policy can cover every possible scenario that might occur. Things happen that practically nobody thought might happen. This is why "escape hatch" clauses were invented--to give parties a way out in the event that the unforeseen occurs.

I think it's also worth mentioning that Atom, like Sublime, looks straight-forward out of the box. You don't need to learn much to be productive. It doesn't have the learning curve of vim/emacs, but it's more powerful than Sublime/Notepad++/Gedit etc.

Also, I don't think anyone needs more than one general purpose text editor like vim or Sublime or Notepad++, and possibly a full-featured IDE like IntelliJ or Visual Studio. If there's a counter-argument, I'd like to read it.

It'd be simple to develop stealth code to hide your cheats.

>advocating for security by obscurity

There is nothing wrong with this as long as you understand what you are doing. The goal of anticheat is to prevent cheat makers from being able to make cheats for your game for as long as possible. Increasing the time and skill needed to reverse engineer your anticheat increases the time it takes for someone to develop a cheat.

>it'd be like saying that since I have access to the entire code of my SSH client, that gives me the capability of modifying it so it lets me connect to every server (even those that I do not own) without a password

With this kind of problem of authentication it is simple to design the code such that the time it will take for an attacker to break the security to be impractical. Anticheat on the other hand is not a problem that has a solution like that. If you want to check if a click came from a mouse or a cheat program and you trust the client to tell you where it came from it's impossible to prevent the client from lying. Since it's trivial to lie you need to find a way to slow down attackers to make it harder to lie.
Theoretically you don't finish the relief well, so you can quickly finish it should the main one blow.

You "refute" his point with a non sequitur, essentially asserting that domain squatters/extortionists aren't scumbags, because there's no good way to ban the practice. But it could still be unsavory even if it's hard to ban.

I wouldn't say that the internet is"about" people just grabbing names and doing nothing with them except demanding payments from people who do want to put up actual sites. That's not really having ideas or doing anything useful for anyone; it surely isn't innovative. It might be profitable, but I don't really see any way to argue it's in the hacker spirit or particularly laudable.
The biggest deficiency for its use as a netbook, however, is the lack of net.

It doesn't have any means for network connection. The only hope for network connection is mini USB, but I'm afraid it will be not easy and not practical. That's why it's more of a concept to build on than a ready netbook.
iPhone critics have seldom let facts get in their way.

This post is just the same old Facebook privacy issues repackaged as link bait. The problem Facebook has isn't Mark Z. it's the fact that they need revenue and every privacy feature they implement makes them less likely to get it. That puts their needs at odds with their customers wants and that's going to be true no matter who the CEO is.

It's all about striking the right balance and I think
Facebook will eventually get there.
I wrote a medium sized post about why I like iPhone OS4's approach to multithreading, but once again when I submit it I get "this link is expired" and go back to find my text gone.

Seaside used to use continuations for everything but realized that the only place you really need it is wizard-like work flows, so they've removed it everywhere else. This allows them to not need a session unless you're in a workflow and things like "expired link" for pretty static looking pages doesn't happen.

Hint, hint, hint....

This sort of thing happened long before technology provided mapping programs. I wonder if anyone is familiar with how these things played out in the days of published maps? I’m no historian myself. But I’m sure some map publisher had to begrudgingly admit that “their side lost” at some point.

Here’s the thing, once enough time passes, you have to start to consider that Crimea may never return to Ukrainian control.

Just because Russia’s actions have been condemned by the international community doesn’t mean those actions weren’t taken and weren’t successful.

We have to admit at some point that Russia controls this territory now because, sadly, nobody did anything significant to stop it. Russia essentially fought a brief war and won, and took territory as a result.

It’s getting to the point where a map saying that this land is inside the Ukraine is an inaccurate statement.
In 1999. My mom told me about it!
Anecdote ahead:

Just last night I was talking to two friends in this age group about their career situations, which match that of others I've spoken with in the same boat. They are exhausted from their primary career, probably have enough money that they could retire, but what they really want is some kind of work that will get them out of the house a few days each week and put a few coins in their pocket, but doesn't need to be a "career" any longer.

Pure speculation on my part, but I'm led to wonder if there just aren't sufficient employer accommodations being made to this age category. When I think about people I know - some have stuck it out and been miserable, others have just left for early retirement. So whereas millennials are asking for and getting remote work, the late boomers / early X's might be wanting to simply work less but are faced with no real choice.
> Which is presented as a fact by the media.....

> The question on my mind lately is: how might this situation be improved, first here at HN

I would first suggest not applying such a broad brush stroke to all players in "the media". It's a false-equivalence to say the least.
Yes. If you think of it, the industry has been growing faster than fantastic leads/architects/ project managers can be developed. Those roles take time & experience to nurture, develop battle scars & grow.

As a backfill, many orgs are forcing people to pinch hit that are in over their head (not their fault, often times they are also stepping up to help which is great!) The problem is that these people & teams get to the point where they are just trying to survive until the next sprint.

Wash & repeat sprint to sprint, deploy something to check the box but it’s building a house of cards.
