I don't think that's true.

I can still get into a book even though I've seen movies. I think it takes a certain type of individual to get into the Fallout 1/2 style of interface, but the overall game still holds up. Older games require more imagination though.

I've gone back in and played the original wasteland recently, and it's cluunky - but I was still able to get into it and enjoy myself.

I think back in the day gamers had more imagination. It's possible that's because gaming required it, and that it took better graphics and interaction to get it so that the mass-market could adopt them. It's possible there's a branch of gamers who just won't be able to get into games like Fallout 1/2, but I hope it's fewer than you are describing.
Half that to 8–10 hours? It's only ~350 miles or so, and if we're talking HSR, by the standards of the past thirty years is only a couple of hours or so. The other thing worth remembering is that some of the steepest grades on railways in the world are found on HSR, up to 4% compared with 1.5% that would be considered steep by the standards of most railways.

I've used both. The MSP430 has a few advantages over the AVR family when it comes to low power.

1) There are specific low power designs. They use lower voltages, which allows you to squeeze more energy out of each battery, and they use non-volatile RAM.

2) There are a lot of MSP430 variants, and they have integrated all sorts of features that would have to be external on an AVR series microcontroller. E.g., a real time clock, or an LCD driver.

3) The MSP430 series has variants with almost any quantity of digital or analog IO you could wish for. This means you can directly connect the MSP430 to things that you would need a breakout board for on an AVR.

So even if the AVR series and the MSP series are on relatively equal ground when it comes to power per clock (which they aren't), the MSP430 is a much better chip for low power draw.

Indeed, when I took my introductory statistics courses at UC Berkeley (STAT 200A and STAT 200B), we discussed the pitfalls of blindly applying these concepts---albeit at very high level.

Initially, I wrote this cookbook/cheatsheet in order to structure and retain the material in these courses, not to challenge them. Most of the content comes from the cited references, all of which have a very terse and mathematical presentation. It would be great to augment the current document with pointers to the literature that offer a critical discussion. As a non-statistician, I lack the historical perspective, but I always appreciate contributions from experts in the field. (The document is open-source: https://github.com/mavam/stat-cookbook)
Yes which means I have to apply my own reasoning and ethical thinking.
To echo others, the start of a great hack.
After going back to solve last year's Advent of Code, I realized that I really need to know more about algorithms. So this is handy.

But I still can't solve last years' AoC. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to keep working on it.
Windows 98 wasn't a true multi-user operating system anyway, security was a simulation. Only the NT line was multiuser at the time (and later XP through 10).

The Windows 98 issue was a bug. The example given involving Windows 7 and renaming executables is NOT a bug. If you give someone unrestricted access to the hardware, they have unrestricted access to the hardware. Working as intended.

You want someone not to be able to mess with a Windows installation? Activate Bitlocker.

That's why this Windows 10 issue IS a bug. Because it bypasses Bitlocker and allows a normal user to escalate to local admin. The Windows 7 issue is NOT a bug because it allows no such escalation (since no security was ever stopping local HDD access anyway).
That is a good idea. Would be nice if there was some kind of gesture tracking so you didn't need a controller and virtually swipe things away. I've been watching too much Black Mirror BTW.
(Note this math is a thought experiment ... completely off the cuff and utter non-sense.)

Based on their numbers:

AA is about 700J/g @ 20g gives about 14000J and a 24 hour drain gives us 580J/hour.

DiamondBattery is about 15J/day or ~0.5J/hour

Ignoring voltage issues (among other things), we come to 1.1kg of DiamondBattery being able to supply something that would drain their 20g AA in 24 hours.

The math here is complete off the cuff non-sense, but an extra kg or so here is not unreasonable for some fixed applications ...

> is a relatively experienced Rust dev choose to retype

Probably because they were an experienced dev and are experienced enough with unsafe code to write good unsafe code without worrying about it. It was a minor unsafe operation of which the validity is easily proven. Doesn't really prove that there isn't an aversion to unsafe code in the community.

I would generally put the folks who work on Redox in the bucket of "experienced people who know how to write unsafe code" and am pretty sure that they're more comfortable with writing unsafe code than most. Byteorder is a crate that handles this neatly and well (including endianness and stuff), but for ticki's purposes, really, a simple type pun on integers is not that bad. It's like the left-pad of unsafe code.
> I'm not sure what part of your experience was "unorganized".

Ok let's see, we'll need a bullet point list for it:

* Agreed on a time for the phone interview. They didn't call. Sat around waiting for an hour like an idiot without anyone even sending an email / text / or calling to apologize. Ok, that's fine stuff happens, understand. No bid deal...

* Scheduled on-site interview. Show up. Manager, the main person who was supposed to interview me, wasn't there. I thought ok, this is getting ridiculous. But fine, big company, yadda yadda.

* People who interviewed me didn't seem at all interested in my previous projects or my experience. I suspect they never actually read my resume before the interview. Asking ridiculous questions like "tell me about your biggest failure..."

* Lunchtime comes. I thought, well at least I'll get to meet some of the team members maybe others are a bit more friendly. So I sit there and wait,... and... nothing. They apparently forgot. After about 30 minutes I started wondering around the hallways hoping someone would stop me and wonder if I was lost. Maybe I would have asked them how they liked working there and such. Nobody even apologized for it either.

* Recruiter before the interview swore they'd get back to me in 3 days, as I already had a few offers on hand. It took them 3 weeks! I decided not to remind them just to see how long they'll take.

I don't know if I'd call that just a "busy day". Seems like a systemic problem to me...

> Judging corporate based on fulfillment center working conditions isn't fair. One is a $15k job, and the other is a $115k job

Yes it is. How a company treats all of its employees tells something about the company. How it treats manager, and top brass, CEOs, developers, down to janitors. All of that says a lot about a company.

Hate Apple? Where did you see I hate Apple? I understand it's comfortable for you to think that since it allows you to continue believing incorrect things about how these companies operate.

The discussion is about disputing the claim that Apple cares about your privacy while Google doesn't.

I'm just demonstrating this argument is not just nonsense, there is simply no way to know what either of these companies do with your information and saying that you don't trust Google with your data and therefore, you pick Apple demonstrates a fundamental ignorance of how both companies work.

Oddly enough, I was told this very recently. Deliver right away or bear the consequences.
Exactly. I need to understand what value this particular software brings to the table compared to the "competition" before I will invest any serious time into looking at it.
Yes, executable size is still a modern day problem. Imagine you're shipping an OS; do you want the hundreds of thousands of executables in your system to all be a few percentage larger when you're trying to ship to a customer who may only have 16 or 32 GB of storage space?

Of course, removing libc won't be your first (or second or third or ...) step for removing bloat from a mature codebase.

Hmm. A tube is composed of many carbon atoms in a ring. Add one more atom, you increase the circumference by 0.34nm but the radius only by 0.34/2pi=0.054nm. So still looks infeasible.
That's all well and good but what would you have us do? Move all web app development over to the Flash Player and disable JavaScript (and JS APIs) in browsers? We have to reduce the attack surface somehow.

Oh, and guess what? We now have no browser competition because all the relevant parts are in the Flash Player and good luck motivating Adobe to fix issues with it now that it's basically a requirement to run a browser. Oh, and now they could charge everyone to access it if they want.
The difference is that Flash, being proprietary, Adobe is the only party allowed to fix a memory leak. HTML5, a standard, can have many proposals, discussions and implementations on how to fix issues.

Neo4j focuses on modeling nodes and it's relationships, and allows you to attach metadata to the later, but doesn't really have transactions as first-class objects.

Datomic focuses on modeling facts (entity-attribute-value). This is a very stable data representation that allows modelling tables, documents or graphs [1], on top of carrying transaction explicitly on an additional index for the time-travel magic.

I guess Neo4j might make a good DB for ETL-ing into and running certain kinds of analysis.

Has there been as contentious a Mac release as there has been with the new MBPs?

I've been using Macs since the mid 80s, and I'm trying to think of some, but am drawing a blank.

The only possibilities I can think of are the two processor switches (680x0 -> PPC followed by PPC -> Intel) or maybe the first release of OSX (but that's not necesarily hardware related).
It does sound incredible, but I don't think most people would be down with carrying nuclear waste in their pockets.
That requires sufficient interest for people to come up with a perfect emulator for the system before the original hardware becomes too inconvenient to use for reference. And that can take a while - Dolphin only just became able to run all GC games a few months ago, for example, and it still has inaccuracies.

I knew about the nuclear batteries in space, but isn't the new thing here the miniaturization and safety?

> Carbon-14 was chosen as a source material because it emits a short-range radiation, which is quickly absorbed by any solid material. This would make it dangerous to ingest or touch with your naked skin, but safely held within diamond, no short-range radiation can escape. In fact, diamond is the hardest substance known to man, there is literally nothing we could use that could offer more protection.

That sounds really promising to me. And I wonder if there is some more optimal lattice structure, or some way to scale it up and produce enough energy to power a smartphone.

That your biggest objection to the Nazis is their supposed socialism is a pretty big red flag.

I said it was a "clue", which does not even begin to make it my "biggest objection". That would be their contribution to the Left's 20th Century genocide party, and less specifically targeted deaths, followed by the material and moral damage they did to Western civilization.

And you are misstating the Alt West's position, it's not "'exclusion if not elimination' of my people," (emphasis added), but of your people from "society", as in "relocate from 'our' society", or seeing as you're in Vermont, more likely the reverse, as you know acknowledged from your initial posting in this sub-thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13059524

Perhaps you've just made a mistake, but it's a misstatement of the Alt West's position.

As for the "threat", I'm, saying that's on the table. As my statements throughout this discussion have made clear, we on the Alt West (which I'll keep using since, while a small and marginal group, the Alt White both exists and is tolerated as long as they "shoot in the right direction", i.e. our form of "No Enemies to the Left" (which they haven't been doing as of late), and is of course obsessed with your people, which we aren't particularly) want to make changes sooner rather than later, so those "much worse selections on the menu" are never even in a position to be chosen. It's not exactly an accident I'm reading Churchill's The Gathering Storm right now....

I.e. you dislike and distrust or worse Trump? He and his inchoate "Alt Lite" coalition have come to the fore because the much more polite (look at how they picked up their trash!) Tea Party was brutally suppressed by the Uniparty and ruling class, by means far worse than what removed Nixon from office. Illegitimately suppress Trump's Administration, and the Left will like what follows even less, and as Jews are mostly on the American Left, that'll also include your people.

Nobody is suggesting that you should be forced out of the country and/or into gas chambers.

At best, you're speaking from gross ignorance, and I'll leave my reply to the above at that for now.

if I didn't tell you, you would have no idea that I wasn't yet another of your favored Aryan whites

Nope, not a part of the Alt White, not even sure what part of France my maternal Cajun half came from so I'm not even sure if I'm "Aryan" (and the only physical tell are my green eyes, from my father's blue). But are you saying you're a convert, you have no Jewish ancestors??

The one thing I'll commend you for is that you post these comments under your real name.

Yes, that is something we have in common, associating our HN accounts with our True Names, and the courage of our convictions to speak of them without hiding behind anonymity. Although I of course wouldn't be able to do that if I wasn't retired and anti-fragile.
Fission: Fast Serverless Framework for Kubernetes
The original disclosure from kenzo2017 covers this: https://devicereversing.wordpress.com/2016/11/07/eirs-d1000-...

When Eir’s technical support want to manage the modem – maybe to reset the Wi-Fi password, they instruct the ACS (Access Control Server – the server used to manage the modems) to connect to the modem on port 7547 and send it a “connection request” command. The modem then connects to the ACS and Eir’s technical support can change whatever settings they want.
Yeah the best advice there is to run away from everything.

It seems to me that the developers wanted to push players towards role playing a tribal who molds themselves to the wasteland. They wanted to discourage people from rolling a charming doctorate student with a Gatling laser.

I still think it's bad game design. It does make it less fun.
The fiduciary value of a human life is about one million dollars. Robbing customers or society collectively of, say, 500 million dollars is thus equivalent to massacring 500 people. Yes, business corporations which commit that level of crime should be dissolved.
Does anyone know what underlying differences there are in Python 3 unicode handling versus Go's rune system. I have found the latter far easier to work with when dealing with text characters in other languages.
GPU issues plagued some previous models also but not this early, usually after 1-2 years due to less than optimal thermal design, but Apple usually had an extended warranty program for those.

I don't remember a release with so many weird issues, that honestly should've been picked up pretty early during the design and acceptance phases.

I'm reading 'Lectures on Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics' by Marco Taboga. It's a ~600 page book comprised of ~75 lectures on various topics in probability and statistical inference. What I like about it is that the lectures are about key topics and are condensed, so it's basically a refresher on important topics and a reminder that they exist. You can always read the chapter and supplement the reading with wikipedia. Additionally, there are solved practical problems at the end of every chapter so you're not just reading about theory, you need to put it into practice. You can find the .pdf online for free since it started as a web textbook, or you can do as I did and buy a hardcopy on Amazon for like, $12.
You may create a A/GPL fork of the project if you wish.
FO4 isn't even Fallout anymore. They took out most of the RPG elements (deep character customization, meaningful dialogue, etc.) and turned it into a shooter. It's a really good game on its own right, but I wish they hadn't called it Fallout.
Thanks, but the articles you link don't really describe what I was asking about (and the "TL;DR" doesn't appear to be actually derived from those in an obvious way). I know about the strata and the use of GPS as stratum 0 clocks.

I was interested in more details about why GPS is dangerous (i.e., more about "breaking GPS"). I get that a cheap jamming attack can disrupt a single NTP server/location. But it isn't obvious that that leads to widespread use of GPS being a bad thing for NTP pools. Because it would require a widespread (near-simultaneous?) jamming for several hundred physical locations to bring down a large chunk of the pool in that way. Of course, somehow corrupting the global GPS signal would be an issue, but how would that happen?
For context: I live in Thailand.

The 'common' banana available in Thailand is neither Gros Michel nor Cavendish. It's a tiny little thing that (going by a photo on Wikipedia it's something similar to a Latundan I believe) IMO is only useful for blending (i.e. for a smoothy) because it's too 'moist' to eat as-is. Thai's seem to mostly grill or fry them, rather than eating them fresh.

We recently (this year) have been able to grow the less common (and more expensive to buy locally) 'big' bananas, which I've confirmed today are in fact cavendish.

I'll ask my in-laws (who had already grown Cavendish) if they know anything about where to buy/find either Gros Michel fruit, or plants.

This whole thing gets quite confusing (for me at least) as I don't read (and speak very little) Thai, and software translators convert the Thai for "Banana", "Cavendish Banana" and "Gros Michel Banana" all into "Banana" in English.
The original disclosure of the vulnerability is also an interesting read: https://devicereversing.wordpress.com/2016/11/07/eirs-d1000-...
