Well, Doom and Quake 1 are kind of in the sweet spot where they are still small enough that one person has some hope of understanding the code base. As impressive as the later IdTech iterations are, and as awesome as it is that the code was released, they are daunting for a hobbyist.

Thanks for saying what kind of "plastic" is being referred to!

According to Wikipedia, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is about 18% of world polymer production and is the fourth-most-produced polymer; 60% of PET is used for clothing and 30% for bottles. The bottles are frequently recycled into clothing, I've been told, so perhaps an even greater proportion of it ends up as clothing.

The most-produced polymer is, of course, PE (polyethylene), which is also used for bottles, but not for carbonated beverages, I think, which always seems to be PET round here.
So if it can’t be perfect we might as well give up? One time pads or go home?
We can oppose marginalizing people and oppose killing people at the same time. Your comment is a good example of whataboutism.
They said "Nuclear weapons simulations, drone AI, smart bombs - all good. But don't you dare abuse a marginalized group!" which is specially saying that people don't care about these matters for the first set of issues (which is an assumption about the person they were replying to, and an incorrect blanket statement about people in general) and also specifically implying that the only reason people cared in this case was because it involves a marginalised group (which is also an assumption that they didn't attempt to back up with evidence).

Yeah, I think "often disagree and often sensationalist" is a good assessment. For any given Reg article, I won't rule out that maybe the author is a nutter, but they're usually well-informed or interesting or amusing or some combination.

I think it's malware that hijacks your search by injecting their affiliate/cse-id. Any click on ads will get them a kickback and it's in their interest to get the CTR as high as possible and they can accomplish that by removing all the indicators (or as much as they can) that these are ads.
FWIW, if your system scales horizontally, it also has to scale vertically. You cannot simply add nodes to a cluster into infinity. You often can't even do 5x the number of nodes before performance and availability starts to degrade. The larger the number of nodes, the more difficult to mange, and the more chances for failure.

The author writes how they didn't think a mainframe could handle the load in the future. But even super old mainframes still handle their load 40+ years on. They just had better design parameters to make sure they were used appropriately, and they knew how to keep their requirements compact. You may only have 8 alphanumeric characters to store a customer's record name in, but you're never going to have more than 2.8 trillion customers. That hard limit also means you how large the data will get, which makes capacity planning easier. (Even in the cloud you must do capacity planning, if for nothing else, cost projections)
I'll just say this... I still have 2.7 as my base install... for Ansible. Because they haven't switched yet.

Ansible is owned by... Red Hat. They acquired it in late 2015.

Seems like Red Hat - the people in the post that we're talking about that are shoveling folks off 2.7 - has been neglecting one of the fundamental ongoing maintenance tasks involved in software engineering, and perhaps has something wrong with their engineering culture.

Sorry, this shit is just too funny.

And it seems that Red Hat is booting Ansible from the core repos as well (looks like it's in that depreciation notice!), presumably instead of spending the "two weeks" to update it (you might want to go ask the Ansible team why they're too damn lazy to spend that "two weeks", see what they say).

However, unlink Red Hat and Ansible, some organization depend on the softwares in question, and can't just sideline them 'cause the shit they've successfully run on for a decade-plus has lost it's blessing.

The first round of the fight is clearly won by telegram - roscomnadzor is perceived as a lumbering and inept gorilla whose actions harm innocent bystanders while telegram continues to work almost perfectly.

Next we will see how effective the deletion of the telegram app from the Russian app stores will be. Because of the centralized nature of the stores telegram can’t do much with it (they can try publishing clones of the client under unaffiliated entities, but apple and google can easily ban those too). Also it is rumored that the client uses push notifications to deliver proxy settings to devices and these also can be easily blocked by the store owners.

Interesting times.

In a time where just being skeptical of Musk gets you attacked, I am not sure you have the authority to say anybody else is run-of-the-mill. He may be a cynic, but the mainstream sentiment towards Musk is almost church-like, so generally people outside of that are not in the majority.

Look, I get it, nobody else seems to be doing exciting tech lately and Musk is certainly not doing CRUD apps, so I see where the excitement is coming from, but I also see a lot of fanaticism and PR bullshit around Musk, so I'd say some amount of skepticism is well placed.

Hey HackerNews

I remember back in 2009, 2010, Facebook was the cool still startup, still no IPO, tech company. Revolution.

The social network. Social everything.

There was people like me, even in 2007, warning about this.

We said, how Obama got elected by using social media, reddit, twitter, facebook. Acting all cool. Was not a very transparent or open election, it can be misused and abused.

Yet we, the paranoid warners, were dismissed as "US has privacy protection laws, this is a democracy, never would a company allow its data to be exported out just like that".

Now, Trump is president and _now_ its not cool?
The idea of society moving forward is removing systemic bias and other entrenched forms of discrimination and prejudice that have occurred in the past and continue to occur. And this requires human thinking, intelligence and sustained effort.

Doubling down based on historical and backward looking data does not seem like the way forward and can only perpetuate entrenched bias.

All the inferences and correlations will reflect that. This is not intelligence and can only take you backwards.
not when they start posting stuff with your name on social and other media, or threatening you that they know where u live
Also the last void* argument of the signal handler points to a ucontext_t object (man getcontext), so you can do something crazy like jumping over a NULL-dereference by modifying the instruction pointer and then "returning" with setcontext().
I'm pretty sure its perfectly aligned if you have the correct tab size that was used for the whole project. Which is the stupidest thing about using tabs over spaces.
It's quite contrary, actually - apple provides good experience for its users - tightly controlled, secure sandboxed environments. The fact that you find it hard to develop apps for it is irrelevant for them.
Vimeo and Youtube are two very different things, like a sniper rifle and a machine-gun is. Vimeo is primarily a video hosting service, whereas Youtube is a publishing hub.

But it's not your browser or the HTTP servers that are being prosecuted. Browsers and HTTP servers don't 'consider' anything.
I've seen (at least in a dev build) support for activating an account on desktop, i.e. you enter a confirmation code sent via SMS to a phone number you chose. That phone number needn't necessarily only be accessible through a smartphone, I'd presume.
It’s more like taking a photo of a public bulletin board with a hundred posts on it, where three of the posts contain private information and so shouldn’t have been posted.

Anyone could have viewed the posts on the board one by one; he just copied them all at once for later viewing.

I've seen this. It usually results in the candidate performing at a junior level in an interview -- and generally we're not going to bother giving them a junior level offer when they already have a senior level title at their current job. It doesn't surprise me that some companies try to avoid wasting their time.

Telegram is not the most popular messenger in Russia. It's not even in top-3 as far as I remember. But it is widely used by people who tend to be opposite to the current government (young professionals). Also, there are a lot of anonymous Telegram channels curated by the opposition.

YouTube creators have built those multi-million dollar businesses on top of a free service, you can't expect many rights when you don't pay to use the product, regardless of whether or not you're making money for the host.

I can see both sides of the argument, but developing an application and paying to host it on AWS or GCP is different to creating A video and uploading it somewhere for free.
not everywhere, unfortunately. In my location it's almost impossible to use it without VPN. It also became difficult to send files through it.

And yet cars kill people every day. Clutter is worse though, somehow.

I have no dog in this fight; I don’t live in SF. I just find it curious that dangerous, incredibly polluting and inefficient vehicles get grandfathered in, and the big gripe with these companies are “clutter”. Seems odd to me, is all.
It was useful when the Internet was small, and all run by nerds who just wanted everything to work. In the mid-90s, the phone number in WHOIS was usually the guy who actually ran the servers. I called people when email auto-responders went awry and caused an email loop, or when ISP's DNS servers had old entries that shadowed web sites we hosted, or when I found a security hole.

Visibility (Css tutorial)
I am aware of this theoretical law but never really considered it. I suppose this could explain why I encountered such push back against a distributed SOA architecture on commodity hardware at a large organization that was built around centralized systems using mainframes.

Ultimately after three years of justifying and re-justifying the decisions I made for which they explicitly hired me for I moved on. It was abundantly clear that though they brought me in to implement SOA and lower physical costs, the culture just did not support that decision. What struck me as odd was that fact that those who hired me to do it did not seem to support it either.

I should note that Conway's law seems like a reasonable assumption as to why due to the monolithic and centralized nature of communication there. It was considered "taboo" to walk in to an executive managers office to speak to them. The expectation was to follow this ridiculously verbose chain of command whereby response to even a simple question could take days or even weeks.

The article talked about children preferring smartphones but also that they are less ruggedized and break more easily. In this regard OLPC is a success.
We used Telegram as the main tool for our team's communication. We all applied proxy settings but it's almost impossible to work without a VPN enabled :(.
> Apple is choosing a deliberate strategy here that privileges users over developers.

What is stopping them from doing both?

There's no reason developers should jump through arbitrary hoops to make their applications available to users. Yes, quality control, security, etc. is very important, but the publishing process should and can be as user friendly as their platform claims to be for end users, and that is what the article is showcasing.

FWIW I didn't notice any bias against Apple in the article. Just a lot of understandable frustration with their processes and platform.

The point of a limit corporation is that the shareholders are not personally liable for the company's debts. There are exceptions (usually related to the shareholders using corporate money for their personal purposes), but they're rare, and in any case I don't think this would protect him, since the shares in the Boring Company are themselves assets.
We chose plastics because it was cheaper. Yes, there are other benefits. Unfortunately, no one asked, "If this stuff doesn't decompose, then what?" to assess that risk vs the benefits.

Without that answer the use of plastics should have been mitigated a la nuclear fission. Instead, micro bits of plastics are everywhere; the oceans and their ecoayatem are compromised. Etc.

For what? Convenience and a few cents?
Wait, this is just someone's opinion? There's no data here! This should be an empirical exercise, why should we trust these cities the author pulls from random anecdote?

One idea would be to use voter registration records and census blocks to measure the polarization of the population wrt political behavior. There's also survey data on attitudes and beliefs that could be aggregated by city. But there's no data at all, it's just the author's personal speculation.
What should one replace the RUN instructions with? Say I have:

I could download each package beforehand, tar em and use docker save, but I'd want the recursive dependency tree of packages too....

Ask HN: When to walk away from a toxic project
Few months into a consultant job with a young A-round start-up job here in the states, i have discovered that several bad architecture decisions were made years ago by senior programmers that means their product wont scale without massive amounts of re-engineering. Simple stuff, lack of cloud architecture, zero capacity planning, low test coverage, no redundancy/load-balancing.

As the customer base grew, my daily job has moved from building out functionality, to keeping the server going for 24 more hours in the face of load issues, and the development team seem transfixed on building out new features instead of addressing the underlying rot.

A lot of me is fearful that the company is buying time until the founders can exit, and pass the problem on to the new owners.

In this position, do you stay, and hope the company wakes up to its scaling issues (that management are more than aware of), do you take it on yourself to engineer the fix with no support and risk owning the new design, or do you walk away from the project, knowing its doomed to fail if it carries on its current trajectory?

“Bug” is sometimes used to refer to an illness caused by a bacterium or virus, as in “I can’t come into work today; I must have caught that [flu/stomach] bug that’s going around”. It’s not such a stretch to use it colloquially to refer to the microorganism itself.

Since it's only a directive, the details vary from country to country. E.g. France requires also listing a phone number and an actual person responsible for site content.

Energy use is not the same as CO2 production. Cars produce a lot of CO2 in the oil extraction, transport, and refining stages. Heating and AC use wind, solar, electric, nuclear, etc not just fossil fuels.
