PCI passthrough is still quite tricky to get right on many systems, and most of the people doing it reliably and stably with common hardware are pretty strong linux users who configured a KVM host to do passthrough.

Also, installing, updating, configuring, and maintaining Windows in a VM is substantially more hassle than installing a game in a CrossOver container. More people are familiar with doing the former than the latter, but the latter is still a lot less effort.

Currently Vancouver is also seriously considering a scheme. I do believe they are going to implement one.

Beers today taste nothing like they did back then. Microbiology aside (today's beer is made with pure-bred yeast, back then it was a wild mix of microbes), pale malt was not produced until the 17th or 18th centre, and the pale lager beers we nowadays associate with traditional German beer were developed as late as the 19th century.
Yes we see this comment rehashed on every crypto thread on HN, why? This article is about something specific.

>McDonnell and CDM engaged in a deceptive and fraudulent virtual currency scheme to induce customers to send money and virtual currencies to CDM, purportedly in exchange for real-time virtual currency trading advice and for virtual currency purchasing and trading on behalf of the customers under McDonnell’s direction

>In short, McDonnell and CDM used their fraudulent solicitations to obtain and then simply misappropriate customer funds

This raises some interesting questions: how do these schemes (which have been around much longer than cryptocurrency) differ when virtual currencies are involved instead of fiat?

I don't have a spare ios system at hand right now to do more testing on this bug (if the bug is inside the library code and not at the API level, then an emulator usually would not be able to replicate the problem in the same way a real system produces)...

hence I can only make guesses...if I had a spare one, I would try to modify the content of code and see what would happen (do things such as reducing the code size -- most of the code are repetitive -- and see what would happen if we only retain the core part; or only retain the first half of the entire code -- those 0xCC and 0xCD part; or only retain the second half, those displayable ascii chars)...trim the code down to smaller units and test on them individually (in the same sense as modular testing).
I rarely get two-day deliveries anymore, with the fee increase, I'm likely to terminate the service :/ I only ship about one item per month on Amazon, not worth the $13/mo
The fall of the Soviet Union saw a decline in financial support for grass roots movements worldwide. Neoliberalism has eroded support for such groups as well. Stagnant wages and rising household debt have reduced people's free time. And on the cultural front, we still teach that competition, not cooperation, is "human nature" (science does not support this).

On another note, what metrics could be commonly used to judge individual dev productivity, and should they be used?

I'm wondering because I have had places bring up metrics like average story points completed per sprint in performance reviews. Which kind of confused me when numbers for our team seemed to be doing fine, and it seemed like my work was going well based off of previous conversations with management.
monitoring only helps detecting a problem.
and even with canarying there could still be a bad thing in production. it happened everywhere, even the big ones had akward problems. it's human to make errors, so if you do not have luck such a problem could occur on friday evening/night.
FWIW every one of the machines you cited (“Sparc, old MIPS, old PPC, DEC Alpha, etc”) post dated the formation of the Internet (the arpanet transitioning to TCP); the Internet protocols just followed existing arpanet practice. Which was due to big-endian processors being common, but the dominant networked machine of that era was the PDP-10.
That's a good argument actually. I don't think it outweighs the fire hazard concern. In fact I'm sure it doesn't, because there's little chance the audience will react to the subtleties of what you're observing (especially if you don't say any of them to begin with!)—but only to the bait effect, and then we go down the same old spiral.
Well, what did you expect, a potato farm? :D
> From many conversations, and my personal experience, the reliability of prime for two day deliveries has gone way down

Also they push Amazon Logistics on you, which is terrible. I've had so many problems with them. The worst thing is they removed the option to "de-prioritize" them for your deliveries, like you can with any other problem delivery service. So you're SOL if you, for instance, USPS knows how to do its job in your area.

Is Prime still worth it? Many items on Amazon Prime are more expensive than buying at local retailers, and competitors like Walmart, Costco, and Jet (now part of Walmart) offer cheap, fast shipping, often with lower prices.

I'm planning on cancelling my Prime subscription when it goes up for renewal since I rarely use it (it would actually be cheaper to pay for 2-day shipping every time).

> Little-endian is slightly more confusing for humans...

I think you meant to write “Little-endian is slightly more confusing for humans who use left-to-right languages” as all the R-L languages also put the least significant digit on the right.
Yes, exactly.

Bitconnect claimed to be running a trading bot but everyone said they were just running a ponzi scheme because the returns were about 1%/day... even though they refunded everyone's coins when they stopped the lending bot program. I've never heard of a ponzi scheme that can return everyone's money when it closes up.

Not to mention, I think it's completely possible they were actually running a real trading bot because you can run your own trading bot and earn more than 1%/day very easily. People here really don't like to hear facts because it's easier to go with your gut feeling about some paradigm you've never heard of than doing the research, so they downvote any comment that says bitconnect was anything other than a ponzi scheme (or they'll call it a pyramid scheme if they really want to prove they don't know what they're talking about).

The trading bot uses BTC, ETH or USDT as a base currency and then buys alt coins with the base currency then sells them back to the base currency of your choice using an exchange. If it's configured right, it will make dozens of trades a day for small profits, which add up through the day (and night).

I personally run the bot called "Profit Trailer" and use it with the exchange "Binance". I use Binance because you can buy their coin and get lower fee trading by using their coin to pay for the fees.
I think he's saying that the vendors will sue you.

All of that being said, what bits are what mux and what LUT in the bitstream is only a small piece. All of the information needed for timing is the hard part.
Isn't this the opposite of the solution, though? If devs only made games that lasted 15 years, they would probably sell way fewer games in aggregate.

You seem to be ignoring the larger problem.

Having the pharmaceutical industry arrange everything around the notion of "what is more profitable to us" leads them to ignore the notion of "what is best for patients with this condition".

If unbiased studies show that their treatment is more effective and has less side effects than existing options, then it should become the usual treatment for that condition.

Otherwise, no amount of advertising and promotional activity on their part makes sense when approached from the notion of what is best for patients.

In the case of promoting Oxycontin to treat chronic pain, real harm has been done.

A Tale of Two Addictions
You missed the part about no government apparently. If there is no external force to prevent corporations, any person or organization for that matter, from forcibly coercing people.

to be clear... my comment was only when there isn't a government involved at all, which was the context of the conversation. Thanks!
Sure but there is no cost basis for the non-linear increase. If anything it should be slightly less expensive for them. If you look at GCP/OVH/AWS their pricing are all roughly linear.

Same. We have come so far culturally from the 90s that we actually have our own urban environment. I don't want to see it watered down when we are just getting something so good.
> Nice to have, especially since I'm not being charged extra, but are not why I'm paying.

That's not how it works. Just because you aren't being billed by line item, you are being charged more. Those services come at a cost to them, and instead of being amortized across the users that benefit, they're being amortized across all users.

Case in point: this price increase. I'm sure it factors into account the price of all those services you aren't using/didn't sign up for Amazon Prime for. But you're paying it anyway.

EDIT:

The best example of this is one of the biggest complaints about cable tv services: to get channel x, you have to purchase a bundle of 2000 other channels too, which "justifies" an insane price of $80 more a month or whatever just for that one channel. The rationale is "but you're getting 20001 channels, not one, for that price!" and that's exactly what you're seeing here.

If I'm understanding correctly, Colin is unhappy about two things:

(a) That Google didn't notify more operating systems about the vulnerability early.

(b) That one OS community who Google did notify early broke the embargo, leading to exploits circulating prior to the embargo date.

But these are two sides of the same coin. The more groups of people you tell about the vulnerability early, the greater the risk that someone is going to break the embargo.

For a bug like this, it seems like no matter how you go about disclosing things, somebody is going to criticize you for it. Either you didn't tell enough people and the ones you didn't tell are mad. Or you told too many people, and someone breaks the embargo and everyone is mad. Or in this case, both!
Sure, Karsten Braasch seems like one such example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Sexes_(tennis)#1...

"Another event dubbed a "Battle of the Sexes" took place during the 1998 Australian Open[51] between Karsten Braasch and the Williams sisters. Venus and Serena Williams had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world's top 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both. Braasch was described by one journalist as "a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple bottles of ice cold lager".[52][51] The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park,[53] after Braasch had finished a round of golf and two shandies. He first took on Serena and after leading 5–0, beat her 6–1. Venus then walked on court and again Braasch was victorious, this time winning 6–2.[54] Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance". He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun".[55] Braasch said the big difference was that men can chase down shots much easier, and that men put spin on the ball that the women can't handle. The Williams sisters adjusted their claim to beating men outside the top 350.[51]"

Creativity is a weird resource. You don't consume it, you refill it by using it.

The more creative things you do, the more creative you become. I see this a lot in writing. When I'm on the wagon and writing every day, the ideas keep coming and flowing and I start thinking "Maybe I should publish twice a day? There's no way I can limit myself to just once"

But then I fall off the wagon and I publish/write once a week. It becomes a struggle. Ideas don't flow. It feels like I have nothing to say. The less writing I do, the fewer things feel interesting enough to write about. Ideas get discarded.

Try it. Do something creative every day. Even just something small. Write down an idea or a joke or a thought. Or write a 10 line piece of code that does something silly.

Soon enough you won't be able to contain yourself and creativity will come bursting out of you.

You might not write the next Harry Potter or come up with the next Homebrew, but you're going to create something cool I bet.

In reality China has been taking the best of the Silicon Valley and whooping them with their Confusious flavor of capitalism.

Update: China of 2008-2015 is gone for now. There is a developing communist nationalism that is squeezing the freedom China enjoyed for the last 15 years. The son of Mao’s top general has his boot on china’s Neck and we will see if he can help Or hinder China in his reign.

I cant speak for the details of your examples, but taxing land or owning it and renting it out are economically identical.

High Land value taxes really does mean that the land is not owned by a private individual. But Im perfectly fine with that, definitely better than taxing work or consumption.

Web Cache Deception Attack Revisited
I'll answer my own question first, but I'm interested in others' opinions. Some things I have noticed as a hiring manager / decision maker:

* I see a lot of resumes for inexperienced developers that go two to three pages. I understand that this might be the norm in other countries where a CV is more common than a resume, but in the US, if you have less than five years of job experience, I expect your resume to be one page (personally, I prefer this even if you have 5-10 years experience, but I can excuse it at that point. More than ~10 years and I think that having two pages is completely acceptable and maybe even preferred).

* Typos and obvious grammatical errors are big pet peeves of mine. I don't think developers need to have outstanding spelling or grammatical skills. I do think that developers need to be detail oriented enough to catch obvious (and hopefully non-obvious) issues in their code. If you demonstrate that you didn't catch obvious issues on a very important (for your career) two page document, then how can I trust that you'll catch obvious issues in your code? As an aside, if English isn't your first language, I'll be a little bit more lax in this area, but I still expect that you'll at least have an English speaking friend look over your resume for obvious issues.

* I don't like funky formatting. It's surprising how many resumes I see with fancy formatting, presumably because the writers of those resumes want them to stick out. What sticks out to me is a well formatted and well organized, text only, black and white resume with good content.

* Take out things that are irrelevant to the job. This is especially true if your resume is over one page. For example, if you have a bachelor's degree in CS, I really don't care where you went to high school or that you were the captain of Model UN while you were there.
I've been taking public transport in a largish city (1.5 million people) for most of my life. I really don't get the problem (except with certain infrequent and unreliable bus routes, but I'd hold that against those routes, not public transport in general). On the other hand, I'd hate to be dependent on a car.
Got it. I used to post on other stuff but dropped off and admittedly came back to discuss what I feel are attacks on our industry and my personal career story.

If I commented more on “regular” posts, would I still be able to chime in here? It’s important to me that this point of view gets representation. I try to keep it very civil and can continue to refine that.
The statement is saying the P and Q are independent, not unrelated.

P + Q = L (leadership score)

For a group of candidates with equal L, a higher P does indicate lower Q.
Security Breaches Don't Affect Stock Price
Google found these vulnerabilities in the first place, and many serious ones before Spectre/Meltdown too. We don't know if state or other actors found them first, but we know that if Google was not in fact "doing things for the community" here by finding and disclosing them, they'd still be unknown to us, and there would be no mitigations at all. To rubbish all of that defacto contribution, because they didn't disclose it the way you might prefer, is asinine - talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth!

All you're really doing here is confirming that you are typical of the HN userbase these days (far past its prime and filled with reactionary tinfoil hat types with a raging hate-on against one company or another) - that Google is on your personal shit list, and that you'll characterize just about anything positive about them as "fluffy garbage". And that's just not very interesting - it's tiresome, practically-writes-itself noise to everyone other than the choir you are preaching to.
Maybe in processors, but not in general.

Why? Because you can use lexicographic sorting with big-endian bytes.
Why compare with semi-professionals? Being a semi-professional already suggests a certain degree of talent. You should be comparing someone really talented but having no interest at X with someone who is very interested in X and does it regularly, but has no relevant talent and as such it's at best a hobby they are bad at.
I quite enjoyed it. I liked that they didn't just give you a checklist of "things to do", but instead gave you broad "laws" that you can interpret how you see fit coupled with the reasoning behind that law. This keeps each one applicable to multiple scenarios and isn't prescriptive.

I think a lot of the hate comes from people seeing that it's about UX and want to immediately tear it down for not being how they personally prefer information (apparently, if it's not the most information dense way possible, they don't like it).

I actually think having a distinct picture and making you scroll a bit helped me. The distinct picture is a good mnemonic and makes each law stand out from the others (especially by using different colors). If you had them all squished together with no scrolling necessary and no colors, it would be hard to distinguish between them. Sure, it might be more efficient to scroll through, but that in itself might be the point: reading through something and actually grokking it does not happen by scrolling through it as fast as possible, so why optimize for that?

It looks fine on mobile to me. The only real complaint I had was losing my position on hitting back, but I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that they consciously made it do that. Probably just a bug/oversight.
I'm not personally a mac user, but I'm still very glad to see projects like this being developed as open source. Very cool I hope this goes on to be a really solid piece of software.
