That's what I believe as well. To me this whole episode shows an erratic manager being abusive to staff once he was faced with the technical consequences of having imposed a design requirement.

Jobs made a huge success 3 times:

1. the Apple II

2. Pixar

3. return to Apple and transforming it from 90 days to bankruptcy to the biggest corporation in the world

You can ascribe one of the above to luck, but faced with all three, Jobs was just that good, and made his own luck.

Looks good! Might have to check it out tonight.
I'm baffled by this, too. Maybe it's interesting for people who are interested in learning Golang, but I think it's clear it's not the best piece of code to learn from.
Ah, what an evergreen headline.
Thanks for chipping in with this. As an Atom undesirable, I've found myself wanting to use Vim now and again over the years, but I know that my productivity shortcomings revolve mostly around motivation, drive and cognitive ability, not typing speed or editing slickness. I think with a handful of keyboard shortcuts I can mostly keep productive speed, although I'm sure I'd never outpace a Vim user.
As long as you have an offline copy of this data that can be used to fully restore the data on your system you are fine. A proper backup is a copy of the data that can be restored if the system or network the hot data is on completely destroyed that enables it to be completely restored data wise.

In terms of RAID, that is not a backup. RAID1,5,6,10, etc. is to help keep your system online in case of a disk failure to help give you time to replace failed disks with some options giving you increased disk read or and write performance.

I would recommend you keep something offline that you backup the data on the USB HD from time to time. Something that can do versioning would be ideal so you can view the differences over time.

There has got to be a way of preventing "bundling". Bundling unrelated laws together is the cause of so much strife. Tacking shitty laws onto good ones, sneaking in some obscure clause that gives some senator a tax break that nobody noticed or they ignore because they want the rest of the bill, a highly favorable bi-partisan bill turned into a partisan issue because a clause that furthers the interests of the party that introduced it, and inane strawman accusations that follow because now it's easy to paint someone as the bad guy that is trying to undermine this universally good bill (nevermind that their holdup is this one completely unrelated clause). The whole quid-pro-quo political economy exists because this is possible (I vote for your bill with your pet clause, and you vote for mine.)

A big part of the deterioration of current state of political discourse in the US could be attributed to this one issue. I have no conception of how such a limit on the content of bills could be defined and enforced while maintaining the balance of power, but the current system is insanity.
>HDL can be referred to as code.

No, it can't. That's why the caps are there and I'm sticking to it. You basically justified it ;)

Code is something that you design to run sequentially. HDL is a description of gates and logic that runs all at the same time.

If you wanted to argue that the bitstream is firmware - that's a tougher discussion.

I agree completely. I'd like to see some sort of "No More Orwellian Names" act. The titles would be obtained using some kind of algorithm run on the bill text. But then, lawmakers would screw with the text until the algorithm returned the title they wanted. D'oh...keeping people from working around regulations is difficult.
Ask HN: Do I have the right to delete an account someone created with my email?
That’s like arguing that we shouldn’t have laws in case a cop is having a bad day and follows you around writing tickets. This is a legal process like anything else: your standard should be what you’re comfortable defending in court. Being able to show a good faith decision process, compliance with common industry practice, etc. are going to help the case that any lapse was unintentional.

If your angry ex is hired by a regulator you’d appeal it but there’s no reason to think that’s a common problem.
I'd love to see you swap the implementation two methods efficiently without vim. For me, just a few keystrokes: dim]mvimp2[mP and about 3 seconds. For you: a bunch of clicking and selecting, I imagine.

This is just one example of many I could come up with. Code is text, and vim can easily be made to understand that text well.
People thinking they are smarter than they are, and that this entitles them to run other peoples' lives, is hardly limited to geniuses.

I know I need to activate cookies in order to login. I do have a lot of cookie exceptions. But in my opinion, this is not one of thoses cases.

One does not require cookies to read HN, for instance. Or many other websites.

If they use cookies as a base for their business model - which is perfectly acceptable - at least they could have the decency of saying so clearly. I dislike being treated as too ignorant to understand, and the "user experience" card is getting old.
Meh, I'm less concerned with disagreement (or the words used) than I am with deflection. To be clear, and brief, I am not saying one approach to law is better than another (though I too have my preferences and of course corruption anecdata abound). In this case, I think neither legal approach is preferable with such a large statute. But if we are resigned to this option, one could argue that the size/scope of the legislation can only happen with vagueness and trust. In general I think we could arrive at a GDPR-level statutes (at a global level no less) after working up to it. And I don't believe the regulatory bodies' failures themselves justify doubling down on those same failure-causers. I could talk about my suggestions for days, but in general a good set of first steps would be simple transparency requirements for specific uses and tangible enforcement.

I think learning to touch type is an unofficial prerequisite for learning vim. If you "peck & hunt" type and use vim on top of that, I think you'll get frustrated pretty quickly.
Yeah, I think that GNewSense is debian based, so its "only" a matter of pointing the apt-sources to anything debian-like that has any non-free stuff and type "apt-get install nonfree" and you are out of their favor. Which in my view, isn't very far from "install *BSD, download optional ports.tar.gz, go to non-free dir, optionally type make install". But for some reason, endorsements only cover one of those two "free until you deliberately choose to install x, and y, and then z"
The linked Lawrence Lessig op-ed [0] makes reference to a Supreme Court case he argued, where the 70-year version of this law was upheld. Luckily, unlike the sound recordings in question, Supreme Court oral arguments are available to posterity unencumbered, under a legal framework that encourages small, innovative providers like oyez.org to deliver them to the public. Here's the argument in question:

https://www.oyez.org/cases/2002/01-618

It's fascinating to hear these oral arguments, because you have some of the smartest legal minds in the world making references on the fly to obscure two-hundred-year-old case law, stringing things together in logical ways in much the same way that the most exciting engineering conversations in our line of work involve rapid conversations at a whiteboard, where deep technical knowledge and logic come together to create frameworks and business models that have never existed before.

But while lawyers and justices are engineers in one way, building case-law "frameworks" to improve the citizenry's experience based on a wide range of constitutional knowledge and common sense... lawmakers are engineers in another way, "hacking" those frameworks to see what they can get away with. Sometimes "hacking" is good, but it's entirely dependent on the moral compass of the hacker.

In this specific case, the Supreme Court had argued on the basis of a balance of harm to different types of "progress" as laid out in the Constitution: is it more likely that progress will be economically incentivized if copyright terms are extended retroactively, or if copyright terms are not extended retroactively? At the time, a lot of this was tied up in ensuring consistency with international law. But that's not the case under the 144-year CLASSICS Act now being considered - as Lessig describes in the op-ed, "no other jurisdiction creates a similar right anywhere."

So to me, the balance if the Supreme Court were to review this case would be to consider a streaming music provider's incentives. Do more people hear and become inspired by 1930's public-domain jazz music if:

(a) it's all public domain, anyone can start a startup streaming it; or

(b) it's protected, and large streaming companies like Spotify can invest more money into the propagation of the work because they have exclusive rights to a subset of it, even if the subset that is now "orphaned" is not accessible as it would be in (a)?

It's a complicated question, and as a technologist I would lean towards (a) if harmony with international law is no longer a consideration. But, as I mentioned, legislators are "hackers," and with the Supreme Court unable (by design) to proactively limit their ability to build on the existing precedent that extensions are possible... it all comes down to their moral compass and alignment with their economic incentives.

...and per [1], Orrin Hatch has received $664k over his career from the "TV/Movies/Music" industry.

(IANAL but things like this make me want to be one.)

I think a lot of the other posters are correct. Diagrams of classes, interactions, event flows, dependencies, network architectures, and yes, even pseudo-code.

"When done correctly" is the key here. Alas, in my experience I was usually heavily penalized if I kept my mouth shut for as little as 15-20 seconds because interviewer "couldn't see my thought process". At the same time expecting from me to write syntactically and semantically correct, industrial strength bug-free code with optimum space and time performance for a problem I never ever encountered with the interviewer "helpfully" distracting me 4-5 times a minute.

Most have to be refrigerated. Vaccines tend to be proteins and sugars which will denature (i.e. unfold or fall apart) if not stored properly.

Though -80 is a little extreme for a vaccine. That's the temperature most commonly used for long-term lab storage of samples. It's not a common storage capacity in first-world countries, let alone the third world.
Yes, no.

Yes if it's real. No if it's fake.

This still ignores the question of if entry limits for jobs are set reasonably or not though, you can create a real shortage by limiting yourself needlessly.

Interesting idea. If you fire fast enough it may not actually cost that much more money to a business to hire a bit more as long as you fire the bad ones fast.
I don't think nuclear weapons and biological warfare are comparable. Nuclear weapons give a country that has them a near total advantage over a country that doesn't in conventional warfare. That's the whole reason countries want nuclear programs: to prevent other countries from using nukes on them.

Biological warfare seems less likely to be used by a stable country because its consequences are so hard to predict and it isn't very targeted.

And the future of warfare isn't no warfare unfortunately. War and violence are human universals. We can definitely do things to make it occur less frequently, but one of those things is having strong deterrents to war in the form of a strong military.

How to use AI to detect open-ended questions for non-datascientists
Is this important data or just digital hording? That's probably the most important aspect to think about. It sounds to me like it's the latter. Stuff that you like to have but if it was lost, it's not the family photos our other irreplaceable data.

For that USB raid, or even more is drives are fine. The problem may be how often do you want access.
If it's something constantly available then maybe a small home nas might be a better option.

I don't have any recommendations for a product, but something to be cautious about with things like raid 5/6. Cheap appliances are cheap for a reason, and double/triple drive failures are known to happen. Spinning rust is pretty cheap, so it might be something you want to keep multiple copies of sitting on the shelf.
Yes. That's essentially what I was getting at. Asking someone to code accurately on a whiteboard is nonsense.

When I interviewed at Google, they asked me if my whiteboard code would compile. I said, "give me a laptop and I'll tell you". I don't think they liked that answer. ;)

I would certainly agree with you, but I don't think someone with a master's degree is necessarily an expert. What's important, IMO, is having practical experience in data science, which may or may not come with a graduate degree.
If you consider yourself having more sophisticated, artistic taste in movies, you may reserve the term 'film' for those. For the movie snob, Casablanca is a film, Spiderman 4 is a movie. Nothing too wrong with making that separation in my mind.

I agree with the sentiment that Avengers may not be the most sophisticated movie out there. Most people know this and would agree. But randomly calling attention to it to make sure people notice that you have a sophisticated taste is a little pretentious.

Introduction to Redis Streams
Here is a nice link I randomly found on google:
https://leanpub.com/visualising-software-architecture/read#l...

I spent about 30 seconds looking at it, but at least the first chapter 1 seems to be about proper whiteboard techniques
As an aside, any resources for learning whiteboard techniques? Not specifically solving algorithms on whiteboards, but designing and conveying information during architecture planning/etc?

I feel like there's two angles to this; 1. understanding complex algorithms commonly used as tests. 2. understanding how to convey information on whiteboards efficiently, common paradigms, etc.

#2 is what I think I'd actually enjoy improving. #1 is just SAT style stuff that I infrequently use in my day job and serves as an annoyance more than anything.

It is true — you need to read the actual GDPR rather than online summaries.

The GDPR creates some new criminal offences that can be prosecuted through courts without the regulatory authorities being involved in Clauses 162 & 163.

Article 82 allows individuals to sue in court for compensation if breaches of GDPR rules cause harm.

The regulatory activities are on top of this.

> "merged in its own permuted body and rebuilt the host."

Actually it was even more sophisticated, it not only merged its permutated body into the host, but rather rearanged the host in a way to merge chunks of its body between the chunks of host original code, using jmp instructions to keep the code flow, where entry point was inserted on random. If he would further armored it by additional polymorphism layers for each chunk this would make it even algorythmicaly impossible to detect (on the other side, even now, no one can claim it can detect all the permutations, while the disinfection is limited to "delete infected files"). This was work of art (I was a malware analyst), todays malware is a joke compared to what z0mbie was doing (even if I could argue that there is lot to do on windows, infecting MBR and owning the Windows by serving them the calls to yourself is still (maybe I am outdated?) something to be seen.

Interesting! This is exactly what I was talking about. I do wish the Mute button was better labeled. The gas station I'm talking about has completely unlabelled buttons. No doubt this was a conscious design decision.

I'm conflicted about this whole thing because, on the one hand, it is within the right of the private organization to do this. They see empty space and decide that they can cut a deal with the local News station and make some extra revenue. I completely understand that and I can sympathize with it. On the other hand, at what point do things become "Too Much?" I'm foreseeing a Bladerunner world where advertisements dominate the landscape and all areas of our life.

The death knell will be when I go to a State Park or a National Park and see an advertisement for refinancing my home next to a century-old tree. I haven't been to a park in a few years so perhaps this has already happened...
What, specifically, is the problem with emulators that make them not teach the right habits? I get that emulators are likely more bloated and have less features than real vim/neovim. But, to me, that's not a dealbreaker, especially since it can be really convenient to use an emulator in an IDE.

Could you expand on that point? I'm struggling to think of a user group whose experience would be fundamentally broken by the use of motion in Material. Could you give an example? I use Material extensively and would like to think that I have a good understanding of accessible design, but I'm always looking to improve.

It doesn't matter if an SSH server is running or not. This is just another avenue for people's systems to be compromised and for malicious actors to exfil data securely. Couple the SSH addition with Excel natively running JavaScript functions means Windows-based hosts are now more lucrative than ever.

For normal users, they have no use of a command-line SSH terminal, and they would likely not even know what such a function would be used for. Its just shitty decisions made by Microsoft with nearly no value added benefit.
