While this might be an unpopular opinion but layover or not the passengers are still on the manifest for the final destination.
This means that if they decide to use this method they'll get off at the layover without telling anyone about it. This act alone can will cause delays while the flight crew and the airport staff will try to locate the missing passengers. Additionally depending on the security situation at the time and other conditions such as if it's the same aircraft or not of if they've checked in luggage (intentionally or by misstake since you can always apply for missing luggage and you'll get it delivered to you after a day or 2) this trick can lead to complete off boarding of the aircraft and a secondary security screening of all the passengers and the checked in luggage.

Even if this event will only happen once in a 100 flights it will still cost the airline, the airport, and the people enough time and money for everyone really pissed about this nonsense.

While i agree that the law suit might be slightly out of place, i think there are some good reasons why this practice isn't kosher.
Tho the fact that it's hard or near impossible to buy the same tickets directly without going trough a booking agent that can fix the price for you kinda sucks, i would think that most people would want to kill that guy that made them wait for 2 hours while they got their shit screened again just beause he tried to save 50$...

Well, FreeBSD seems to be in dire need of some financial support to refurbish some of its process. The last near-miss with WireGuard should have raised a couple eyebrows
Random fact I found interesting: The Long Now Foundation is one of the featured funders behind MobileCoin.
It’s not illegal to for rich kidney recipient to be a douche, but I can still call them out on it.

That’s all this is. No one is threatening legal action against Apple. Some of us are just remarking on how douchey they are in regards to open source. Many of us have done so in the past, and yes this small donation is bringing more attention to that.
Congratulations! How did you get Apple featuring you? And which podcasts worked best?
Not sure why this isn't on the front page. These kinds of numbers are remarkable regardless of your views on Bitcoin or cryptocurrency.
My understanding matches yours, but it's worth noting that (IIUC) memory and PCIe are (last time I checked?) a separate I/O subsystem that just happens to reside within the same package as the CPU on modern chips. So P2PDMA avoids burning CPU cycles and RAM bandwidth shuffling data around that you never wanted to use on the CPU anyway. (Also see: https://lwn.net/Articles/767281/)
Gay marriage was more common than you might think during that time period as well, even in Europe! I found a few interesting accounts, from this summary of an older book on the topic: https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/when-marriage-between-gay...
Not being stupid is no defense against being conned. On the contrary, a truly stupid mark isn't going to understand the scheme; an intelligent person will immediately see the way they stand to benefit. It's the willingness to cheat that gets you in trouble.

Sad to see Windows To Go being deprecated. It's the only way to have Windows running off a USB device. I hope it doesn't break the devices I own with WTG on them.

I wish Microsoft devs would add the option to install Windows on a USB drive during the initial install procedure.
If you want results from SO, why not use the search on their site?

It also sounds like maybe you should search your browser's history instead, if you're looking for previously visited pages.
A browser plugin could turn a search engine's UI into an API. Of course, the search engines would work against it, so you'd have to update the plugin regularly. It would be a bit like how YouTube-DL works but for search engines instead of videos.
Haskell has the Haskell Symposium: https://www.haskell.org/haskell-symposium/ IDK how papers there count for tenure, it probably depends on the university.
I do understand. I work in the industry, specifically with decentralized exchanges. Both the order book and the order matching should be P2P with 0 conf transactions and client side verification. The fees paid by the user should be top off fees for the contract balance rather than pay to play fees.
An example should be representative.
I’ve used both relational DBs and nosql professionally. While in super specific use cases, NoSQL does shine; it’s a giant mistake to use them as a generic, general data store like with a traditional SQL database. You end up doing a lot more avoidable work in the long run especially if you’re doing reporting ie something that SQL can easily handle, you end up having to replicate it in your own code base
This article has absolutely zero actual description of motive regarding these assaults. They wax poetic about the outgoing administration's stoking of racist tensions regarding COVID's origins, which they have little actual evidence is related to the assaults.

It might be worth mentioning reduced police presence & funding, a direct response to racial politics and protests throughout 2020. I don't think that explanation aligns with the author's worldview...

The USSR/CCCP lives on.
All I know is that Google's search results are becoming more and more cluttered. Like almost every other Internet based company, greed is ruining their product.
Agreed. Google has fucked away simplicity.
There was a television programme in Finland years ago, where they showed one of those "detectors" being used inside a building to find unlicensed televisions. What was visible of the device looked like an oven thermometer. It was the subject of much fun-poking, and there were screenshots floating around, but I can't find any of them now.
I suppose I'll risk further downvoting and respond here. I don't disagree with any particular point you've made except one: it isn't a developer site.

A developer (read anyone with sufficient technical background and experience to actually write code) doesn't need or want the kind of shit that site is peddling. But for someone with zero technical background the site actually does a pretty good job of providing enough of an introduction for someone to get a toehold on the material.
I think that a bad idea becoming a good one is rare and almost like playing the lotto. Though i do agree that pivots rarely have anything to do with the tech involved.

Sidenote: Speaking of ideas, i just checked out yours, MyOnePage, i had a different idea that, strangely enough, i think could work well with it. I'll send you an email in a mo explaining it (didn't find your email add in your profile. Send me a shout at t[at]thesketch.org or reply here) i'll contact you asap. :)
India uses strange currency units:

1 crore = 10M rupees

1 rupee = 1/45 USD

So the damage is estimated at around $1.33bn

Note that this is not a scam in the standard sense, but simple corruption. It's probably even going to benefit individual subscribers due to the lower infrastructure costs of the operators.
This is arguably one of the coolest things I have seen. It's web programming without tiers, as they call it. Just take a look at examples -- there is no distinction between client and server. Everything is defined in a single source. Beautiful. I think mainstream should adopt more languages like this.
Who voted this down and why? Down-voting is not a tool through which you demonstrate your disagreement with someone's opinion.
Not on Hacker News (and many other sites) with a modern browser. The first time you visit http://news.ycombinator.com, it will redirect to https://, and you're correct, if the first time you visit happens to be the time you are MITM'd, this is a weak point.

However, after the first visit, your browser learns through HSTS (the Strict-Transport-Security header) that accessing news.ycombinator.com without TLS is not supported, and won't attempt to access it again except via TLS. (For a year, in HN's case - this is configurable by the site administrator.)
Some people like smoking meth. That's a rather incomplete argument for why it is a good idea.

C/C++ is likely fine for e.g. games programming where speed is of maximum importance and security/verifiability is not.

However in 2015 I would not write nor recommend others write new system services (e.g. DNS, DHCP, web servers, etc) in C or even C++. They're insecure by design and as history has shown us, they cannot be made secure.

That all being said, as there is a massive code base of pre-existing code it is often impractical to not continue these projects in C/C++. It would require tens of years of work to do so. However if an OpenSSL replacement was written in a more secure language with verification being a priority from the ground up, I'd be all over that like a cat on tuna.
I live in Lexington, Kentucky so there is a chance these findings don't match up with Lexington however from my personal experience I can say that this rings very true. Putting aside ease of use (both for hailing and paying) of Uber/Lyft over traditional taxis just the fact that I know Uber/Lyft will show up and show up fast is huge. I don't think I've ever waited more than 10 minutes for a Uber/Lyft whereas taxis have been all over the place, some have shown up on time but the vast majority take forever. That coupled with being able to track where they are make Uber/Lyft the clear winner in my book. I just request a ride when I'm 5-10 away from being ready and I can watch their progress and walk out as they pull up. No taxi experience has come close.
Old growth forests aren't carbon sinks, modulo some slight metabolic shifts as CO2 increases. Forests tend to reach equilibrium between carbon consumption (e.g. autotrophic photosynthesis) and carbon emissions (e.g. fire, erosion of organic material into marine ecosystems, and heterotrophic activity such as grazing and decomposition).[1]

Forests are currently a carbon sink primarily because of centuries of harvesting, and because of increases in atmospheric CO2 improving autotrophic efficiency. As they grow back and grow faster they're absorbing more carbon than they release, but this is temporary. Eventually there won't be more space to grow, and metabolic efficiencies will diminish and possibly even flip--e.g. higher temperatures can increase decomposition rates. Reforestation can't fix the problem, only buy us a little time.

But don't take my word for it:

> Although land practices have the potential to offset a small but significant portion of anthropogenic emissions, they should ultimately be seen (with the exception of geological sequestration through BECCS) as a short-term stopgap measure.

Source: The Terrestrial Carbon Sink, Annu. Rev. Environ. Resour. 2018. 43:219–43, https://harvardforest1.fas.harvard.edu/sites/harvardforest.f...

That said, preventing further deforestation is a no-brainer. The annual net carbon flux of a forest is nothing compared to the carbon stored in the tree stands and the soil, much of which is quickly released when the land is cleared.

[1] Heterotrophs are far more efficient today than they were hundreds of millions of years ago.
Actually, in safari, you can double-click on a link to highlight it, and the right-click menu has options "Go To Address" and "Go To Address in new tab". Quite useful.
Right and the reference to the atomic bomb is of a 'secret project'. The discrepancy is a little bit jarring to read.
Not necessarily. Energy sources we consider as green nowadays have an immense toll on our environment which is massively understated. Take solar panels for example. They are supposed to produce energy without CO2 emissions, which is explicitly true, but implicitly they produce just as much CO2 as coal. The production of these panels isn't as sexy as it seems. Also they tend to degrade after a few decades and lose efficiency exponentially.
There are many other electricity generating solutions which have similar problems.
It's sad, but the least polluting source would be to go nuclear. I believe you and many others would change their mind after a little digging into the topic. I was rather sceptical in the beginning as well, but due to facts I had t o change my mind.
Also ssh supports "from" stanza, which allows you to limit networks from where you can login. Ideally it should set to either corporate network (and make people to vpn to your corporate perimeter before going ssh) or to your home ISP range (if you're not a company). It's not a replacement for key rotation, but significantly reduces probability of described case.
> If Bob goes under Alice owns nothing.

Which is why Alice requires good collateral of from Bob before agreeing to loan the shares; generally cash or treasuries of equal value to the shares, marked to market daily. If Bob goes under, Alice has Bob's collateral.
In the first test example, how does the framework know that `size` shouldn't return -1?
Could you explain why that is to someone (me) has never done anything nontrivial with it? Thanks.
I saw several email alerts come through as these were being closed. 3 of them were submitted by myself and at least one I would say is still relevant in Android 5.0 That said with the history of how bugs have been handled there I wasn't very surprised.
Since image quality is subjective it's hard to say exactly, but estimates I've seen is a 20-30% size reduction for the same quality in AV1 compared to HEVC.

Very clickbaity title. It may technically be a serious incident wrt the AAIB, but the sum-up is:

“ Despite the issue, the thrust used for the departure from Birmingham on 21 July 2020 was only “marginally less” than it should have been, and the “safe operation of the aircraft was not compromised”, the AAIB said.”
This reminds me of doing tech support back during the dot bomb. Everyday we'd have day traders phone in complaining that their internet was down and they were losing thousands of dollars. Then I'd advise them to switch to their backup connection, then they'd say they didn't have one.

Finally, I'd ask why if they were running a business that could generate / lose thousands of dollars in a few minutes why they had chosen a residential internet service instead of opting for the business package and why they did not have a backup connection as neither the business packages or residential packages came with a SLA that was suitable for the type of risk inherent in their business.

If their data is so important why are they hosting it on the absolute cheapest and shittiest servers they can find without a backup solution in place? If they read the TOS for EC2 it probably says not to run critical infrastructure on it.

Perhaps for sensitive data upon which people's lives depend they might want to look into something like:http://h20223.www2.hp.com/nonstopcomputing/cache/76385-0-0-0...

Yes, it costs more than EC2, but there's a reason for that. Wait until this company finds out that if their values exceed what MySQL expects it will silently truncate it.
Actually, rms 'won' his initial battle, which was having a free operating system. Now there are thousands of people helping free softwares to improve. He would be just another programmer if he keeps coding.

What im trying to say is, if he doesnt code anymore, its probably because he doesnt think that would be a necessary contribution anymore.

Or maybe he is simply tired of coding :)
"But in the US, the places where high-speed rail will work already have high-speed rail."

Huh? What do you consider "high speed"?
I don't claim that equilibrium can't change.

A speculative bubble is not an equilibrium. It will inflate and pop all on it's own accord. The housing bubble inflated and popped without any underlying changes in fundamental factors (e.g. population).

In contrast, a Nash Equilibrium based on signalling will inflate and remain until some fundamental factors change. Women will continue to wear high heels and people will continue getting unnecessary education until these activities stop being a means of obtaining status.
I'm not sure that agnosticism on this issue is much less crazy, but okay.
Simpler to do the arithmetic modulo a prime just smaller than 2^64 if you ignore the case where n is very close to 2^64 (which should be fine in real life). In case you leave your code will be easier to maintain than if you bring Galois Fields into it.

I was kinda expecting the bigint solution though.

Hey: would you mind running the script in my other reply to this in order to see whether you were actually in the same availability zone as me?
Even when you can't have a _proof_ of associativity in the type, it's perfectly reasonable to document the associativity requirement in types -- e.g. the Monoid typeclass in Haskell.
I don't know about open source developer case.

If you develop commercial embedded software and need to be able to develop safety critical software there is no contest: C and Ada are the two best tools. Obviously you limit the coding to subset of C. MISRA C for example.

You can buy commercial tools for C and Ada that do static analysis only your source-code way past anything that you get from other languages. You can prove the absence of run time errors. No divisions by zero, no sudden application termination etc.

If you write safety critical code, you don't do dynamic memory allocation or unrestricted recursion anyway. The strengths that Rust has in memory allocation are irrelevant. Running out of memory or unlimited recursion are errors.
What I'd love to see is an all electric XKE model, that long hood would allow them to include a lot of batteries, imho still one of the most beautiful cars ever built.
1) Don't apologize to me because you don't understand how business works.

2) If you need to make a profit (and NOT just light someone else's money on fire), you can't afford to just throw away your profitable product(s) and rebuild them because some devs are easily triggered prima donnas who want to whine because "legacy." That's not how business works in the real world.

3) Companies (again, the ones who must make a profit) aren't going to get clients that way. Clients invest in software because the large upfront costs and small maintenance costs will amortize over the many years they intend on using this product. They aren't going to fund rewriting the product from scratch multiple times.

4) Clients are not going to fund a rewrite ever few years because the cost of rewriting is not "many orders of magnitude cheaper," that's a complete and total fiction. I know this because I've participated in ROM estimates for clients.

Of course, if your "business" has unlimited VC funds coming in then its backwards land. But most businesses exist to make a profit, not to spend someone else's money.
I gave clubhouse a go and found it super boring. Lots of self-important people talking about why they're important.

It feels like the reason I no longer listen to live radio. Why would I let someone else dictate what I listen to when there's plenty of on-demand content available 24/7?
The media and the CDC aren't talking about it yet, but I noticed the same thing independently as did a Facebook friend.
Yeah that line also hit me as a bit weird. Even when we count the PC game industry it was pretty mature at that time already.
This article waxing poetic about the bastion that is journalism, taking down the big guy. Oh please. What we've seen is that journalists are not allowed to take on certain topics or the big guy, unless it's an enemy of their own big guy. They act more as media relations than journalists. And mainstream media has really lost its mind and jumped the shark over the last few years. Might be harder than they think to recover reputations.
I would also recommend Signal over Element to everybody who is not a full blown techie (so most people I interact with in my daily life).

This is because Element has some needlessly rough edges that even I as a battle-worn programmer/media tech person had a hard time with. Until this improves I cannot recommend it to friends unless I want to become "the guy that always recommends stuff that is impossible for normal people to understand".
I almost exclusively pay attention to updates from creators I've subscribed to. I'm more sure that YT will eventually remove subscriptions in an effort to college TikTok than I am that the sun will come up tomorrow.

I recommend negotiating from a position of power whenever possible (in this case, a BATNA) [1]. If you're interviewing when you want, while you're employed, it's on your terms. Don't like how the interview is going? "This isn't a good fit, have a great day" and move on to the next opportunity. It's only an interrogation if you let it be. Don't let it be.

I do agree with you that money and opportunities can be had without perpetual interviewing. The goal is to increase the number of dice rolls to maximize your chances of success. If you can do so without interviewing constantly, absolutely! Do it! But if you're comfortable constantly exploring work opportunities, and you have the time, I recommend doing so.

[1] https://www.pon.harvard.edu/daily/negotiation-skills-daily/e... ("Your best alternative to a negotiated agreement, or BATNA, is often your best source of bargaining power. By cultivating a strong outside alternative, you gain the power you need to walk away from an unappealing deal.")

I'm shocked he even survived. Aren't airplane holds unpressurized? Perhaps airplanes simply flew at lower altitudes in those days. Still, it would have gotten pretty darned cold.
Yes, this happened to me when I joined google. I think there was a mixup with someone hired at the same time with the same name. So I was told I was being hired at L5 but was in the system as L3. I raised it as a problem and tried to resolve it.

Management response: I was asked to resign (in the most clear terms possible).
Reading replies, it seems hibernation is not something that users ask for. What they ask for is to restore the program(s) to the state that they left it in. Files open, state loaded in memory etc. This should be an easier problem than a special boot sequence that is restoring hardware state. There’s probably one or two programs open at a time, that I don’t want to lose my place in, maybe some that I’ve written myself. If we wanted to add a “save state” option in the title bar would that be a tractable problem?

Of course app developers can make a restart less painful too. Web browsers have already implemented restoring tabs from the last use, and Outlook will automatically save any of your drafts. For any work in the cloud, you really just need a pick up where you left off cue.
Are you maybe thinking about cranksets? All it takes to remove a pedal from the crank is an adjustable spanner.
