Thanks for the extra context. One thing I didn’t see addressed that I’m curious about is how does Google distinguish a “government-backed” attack vs your normal everyday hackers? Is it a function of the specific methods used, the depth and breadth of resources deployed, source ip ranges, or what?
Oh but there actually are ways to signal failure (flushing caches, etc.), and there probably could and should be even more, but still the OOM killer is "needed" as a last resort measure.

I recently saw an interesting Windows VM feature, where a process can indicate that some pages can be sacrificed to the OS if needed, and another function to try to get them back unmodified if by chance they have not been. I don't know if similar Linux syscalls exists, but I found the principle interesting.
Ha, interesting. Every time I'm severely burnt out, it has to do with humans, not computers.

Computers do work as you tell them to. Humans will make life difficult for you just to make it easy for themselves.
There's an occasional thing in UK politics where some public figure X has a go at another figure Y for having offensive ads on their website, without realising about the targeting which means the ads are driven by their own search results.
I agree with the spirit of, “better to popularise independent syndication than fight over formats” except:

> the technical implementation is secondary

Until users get a bad experience that can't be solved easily because the spec was set in stone over a decade ago.

Or until people want to extend and improve the spec to create new standards that prevent fractured and disparate extensions to it.

Technical implementation is often secondary, but RSS already failed to achieve mainstream status once. That is not all down to the RSS spec, but recognising that RSS is a candidate for obsoletion and building on something active and progressive might give the idea of indie syndication a healthier second/third/fourth chance.

A non-dead spec that's actively tended, marketed, and used for building great new platforms may garner more interest and prevent the “been there — tried that — it wasn't for me” that RSS seems to induce in non-techies.
I think the world is moving to a repeatable and reusable style of storing data.

RSS and JSON have become standards that people can use for data on multiple platforms.

I remember in my high school classes kids were always super tired in am. On many occasions where we had subs come in and put on a movie, many kids would just fall asleep. I had to fake being awake by pretending to be looking down between the desk and my legs and when the teacher walked by I would just “pick up” my pen and get right back to work - I was sleeping the whole time.

A lot of people use them for tracking. For example, you can use one underlying URL but have several shortened ones for various promotional places (email, Twitter, etc) and then use the analytics for the shortener to see which place is actually sending you traffic.
I think the misunderstanding comes from me using the term "fit" without actually specifying the precise meaning. I meant it more as having better general health in the colloquial sense(e.g. not having life-threatening congenital diseases) rather than fitness in the Darwinian sense where certain characteristics allow one to prevail in natural selection.

Do you have any suggestions on what I could read to better understand the issue at hand and get a better idea of what I'm trying to talk about? Perhaps a good book on the history of ancient humans?

If you mean how we change statue of limitation laws and the requirements for a guilty verdict, then I would propose that someone make a suggestion on what those changes should be.

Like say we remove statue of limitation laws. Why have it if we demand punishment anyway and going to use extra judicial punishment to get it?

If the issue is evidence, then the extreme end would be to say that any accusation is true until proven false. If that is too extreme, argue for some line between that and something which would include the person in the article.

Slavery was abolished in law. Enforcement of those laws are done by police, investigators and courts. It is very clear that the abolish slavery movement had a clear idea on what the law aught to be.

So if you feel like you are just like the abolish slavery movement, what aught the law be today?

RSS is the best source of getting information that i've experienced until now.
This is so idiotic. The argument is not about how to wake up on time, the point being made is that you are not as attentive when your circadian rhythm is misaligned with tasks that require a high degree of attention.
Do you use a cocktail of caffeine, music, and hype to get you programming?

Anyone else use any 'stims' to hype them into programming?
From the image of the crash site, it looks like the driver was in a spot trying to merge left. That would require you to match the speed of the cars in the other lane. Also it looks like the software made the critical failure of assuming that it was driving in the left lane instead of the shoulder.

not very short
Not even over geological timescales anymore: from what I picked up in discussions (I'm not an expert), the majority fossil carbon was trapped at a time when trees had a defensive "technology advantage" over fungi so big that they would resist all rotting even after death because nothing the capability to "digest" wood had not been evolved yet. That way they could just accumulate until getting buried by those incredibly slow geological processes.
It doesn't have an OOM killer. Even more remarkably a call to allocate memory can't fail, but it may not return either. When Solaris (well, SmartOS in my case) runs completely out of memory, all hell breaks loose.

Overcommit is desirable because of the fork/exec model of creating processes; if a big one wants to spawn children, without overcommit you need to be able to recommit its VM size, regardless of how lightweight the desired child is.

Sadly there is no good (& simple) solution under most Unixes (that's a problem that only affects long running and big processes, but those are often the main applications of some embedded systems). I'm not really found of vfork now that we use threads more often (well, at least on Linux it seems other threads are not suspended, but it seems that this is not a Posix guarantee)... posix_spawn could be a solution if implemented with some dedicated kernel support (or always implemented through well-behaved existing ones).

Kinda the opposite of irony. They said these things disappear. Had they said, "but this one won't," then we would be approaching irony.
I just started using Feedly again, but it looks like adding sub-Reddits is broken - they don't get updated. Anybody know of a way to side-step this? Use IFTTT to shoot new Reddit articles to an RSS feed that Feedly picks up?
>If you're interested in a little history: https://fman.io/blog/dual-pane-file-manager-history/

Thank you, though I knew most of those info as - unfortunately - I was there, in the sense that I was in my twenties when NC came out, I practically started my computing experience at work using NC and I couldn't imagine doing some tasks without a dual pane filemanager, and when the NC was killed by Symantec I mourned the loss (and quickly found some decent alternatives, the one with the most "NC feeling" being IMHO DN - Dos Navigator and later NDN - Necoromancer's Dos Navigator).

As a side note, what not everyone knows/noticed, 7-zip it is also a (almost orthodox) dual pane file manager, very handy to manage, besides files residing on mounted filesystems also those inside archives (obviously) and those inside disk/disc/drive images, such as .iso, .img and similar.

RSS isn't conducive to advertising. That in itself makes it a non-starter
FYI Inoreader does some deduplication by default. As you scroll you see a message like 'Filtered one similar article'. I haven't noticed any duplicates. That doesn't help when everyone's talking about the same thing, of course.
I went from digg to feedly. It's almost the same experience.
> Except we know that existing fossil fuel burning plants are about 30% efficient

High efficiency gas plants are reaching 60%, and it gets better when you have consumers for waste heat who would otherwise be burning fossils just for heating. Maybe you are be confusing the numbers with well-to-wheels efficiency of electric cars?

I never stopped using RSS. I follow a few hundred blogs (many of them have only very very few posts. Rule of thumb: The lower the post frequency, the higher the quality). I host my tinyRSS. I consider offering it to the public for free.

"the autopilot did something a human driver who was paying attention would never do"

"this isn't an average accident statistic, a lapse in attention or evasive maneuvering. "

"That's not a mistake a healthy human will make."

Almost every driver thinks they're significantly better than average. Few are.

If a human driver's lapse of attention causes a similar crash, how much less of a tragedy is it just because we can less ambiguously blame the victim?

My opinion is that the statistics compare just fine.
Uber never came out mentioning the homelessness of the person. The police did. This is typical HN banter on Uber, thanks for calling it out.
What makes you say that? Text based advertising sure could be a part of RSS.
The codecs and sampling rates used for phone communication are optimised for the usual range (E2 to C4 depending on voice type) and overtones of the human speaking voice. The usual sampling rate for phone lines is 8 kHz, which means that only frequencies up to 4 kHz are captured. This is sufficient for making vocal communication intelligible (if not exactly aesthetically pleasing).

Music typically goes beyond that range. When transferring music over a phone line overtones in particular are cut off, which makes the music sound flat and creaky.
Someone in the target market should at least be present in a team. I see so many teams from rich, happy families trying to help out someone in a poor country... without having any experience at all in that country. They have no understanding of how deep corruption cuts.

For example, in some countries, the harder and more tiresome a process is, the higher the odds that someone will bribe their way past it. The more inefficient a process is, the more money they make. They also happen to be highly underpaid (similar to American waiters) and rely on "tips" to make a living.

Over and over again, I see some first world company offering them an excellent enterprise solution and not understanding why it hasn't been adopted.
Geography, at a first pass, over multiple elections. This is how TV testing works. Pick "similar" geographies and run your marketing in one. If the effect is large enough, it pops out. Not quite a diff-in-diff, but a start.

Or don't look at votes, look at candidate likes and shares over time, especially as they shift.

The defined metric doesn't have to be "propensity for this individual to vote for a candidate." It can be "percentage delta over untreated markets compared to prior campaigns."
Demand elasticity. We are still really far from reasonable deployment.

Talking to a friend who worked for a power utility here, it's a very foreign concept. Some room for disruption there.
I just read http://unix.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.unix.solaris/2008-... and it seems that they did not solve any problem at all; they don't allow overcommit, that's all. But they do not do anything else to compensate for the disadvantages this implies (this also have advantages, but not only)

You can do that by tuning Linux to have this behavior if you like it. In a Unix system, I don't thing this is the most desirable behavior in the general case...
>And having a better performing language than Python is likely a win

I was under the impression that most Python libraries for machine learning (numpy, scipy, tensorflow, etc) are running C code under the hood. How much is Python's performance really holding it back?
This discussion is so old. Everybody knows that class schedules begin too early for kids. It's the teachers that keep later schedules from happening because they want their free time afterwards.

In C++, you don’t pay for features you dont use. Linux kernel has virtual calls for file systems via function pointers. That’s polymorphism. Why not let the compiler handle that?
The main thing that would make me convinced of the safety of self driving cars would be if the executives of self driving car companies took criminal liability for accidents caused by their cars or software.

When the cost of them killing somebody by having a deficient QA process is minimal (and just affects shareholders), then the cars will be rolled out before they are ready.

What will happen to liability at present is still unclear but if the self driving car companies are successful in dodging most of it (and it appears they are trying) then self driving cars are going to kill a lot of people unnecessarily - quite possibly more than humans would.
It's a range of factors. Basically this warning means that what we detected ties in some way to wider activity that looks government backed.
There's some border cases, but in practice the targeted campaigns of governments look very different in both technique, volume and targeting to say a widespread cybercrime phishing campaign.
It's not a perfect science, but we believe its worth calling out separately the activity that does fall into this bucket.
There's two distinct problems I see here, which probably plague most package managers:

1. Package naming: All the good names will be gone soon, which'll probably lead to big players trying to get package names of little players. Which will then result in broken dependencies a la left-pad. Afaik the latter has been solved in NPM [1]. The former is probably more of a usability problem, we want installation to be simple and able to install deps just by remembering their name.

2. The power of deps and our reliance on good will: When installing dependencies, we basically grant them the power to wreak any kind of havoc they want. The ways we mitigate the worst: Belief in the magical power of open source, mostly using libs that are popular (hence might've gotten a good read by an IT-sec person) and at enterprise scale some static analysis tools to get an idea of how it interacts with your system. I think we're in need of a technical solution at the package manager level, where a dependency has to explicitly ask for certain capabilities (similar to how Android apps work).

Agreed. Imagine having an RSS feed for all the posts here on Hackernews and just reading that instead. I come here mainly for the comments - and not usually to debate or discuss even - a lot of times to contextualize the content in question because inevitably someone more knowledgeable will post their thoughts about it. RSS is not a panacea and it is no replacement for social platforms.
And besides, a car w/out an autopilot is probably easier to crash into a wall.
Are you logged in your google account while using google search? Also, do you often search using your phone?

It's been really accurate for me, providing news about things that are not especially "mainstream", like word embeddings, anything related to KDE or updates on games I'm currently playing. I do a lot of searches on my phone, maybe that's the reason.

Beaming to a plane would be difficult, but space solar power for the grid is actually starting to look feasible. I just read a book [1] about it.

Lasers are an option but they're not very efficient, and blocked by clouds. Instead we can use microwaves. The watts per square foot would be just a little higher than sunlight, which is good for safety anyway. Total efficiency from satellite to grid would be about 50%, which isn't bad since it keeps running at full strength at night and on cloudy days, and sunlight is 30% stronger in space to start with.

NASA's monolithic design from the 1970s would have been absurdly expensive even if launch were free. Some recent designs are completely different. The book focuses on SPS-Alpha, a modular design made of many thousands of identical components of eight different types, each only a meter or two wide, which self-assemble in orbit. There's no single point of failure, and the components are cheap since you mass-produce them.

The book estimates a retail electricity price of $0.15/kWh. I plugged in the extremely low launch cost SpaceX is claiming for the BFR, and got a price of $0.045/kWh. That would decrease further over time. U.S. national average is about ten cents.
