>I do not want to turn away from this ecosystem for now mostly because I want to learn how to survive in such a political environment, and partly because if this modernization project gets delivered whenever it is, it will be a very good learning experience for me.

Why do you want to learn how to survive in that type of environment? Do you plan on being in those types of environments for long afterward?

As for the modernization, is that an experience you could get by reading some books or by doing a side project?

Sorry that I have no advice to your actual question. It just seems like you are trying to adapt to a bad situation that maybe you don't need to actually deal with. You could go elsewhere. A career coach is a good option if you really want to climb the ladder at this company, and maybe if you want to get really down and dirty with the office politics. But to me it doesn't sound like that was your plan. It sounds like you're interested in the tech and you stumbled into an absolute mess of a company. Anyways I've heard Stealing the Corner Office is a good book on office politics.

Use an RF antenna to see if it is putting out any signal.
Short answer: Yes

When a large structure is assembled there is a detailed engineering plan for its construction. Because you are in a catch-22 situation of parts structurally supporting each other. Designing a structure for disassembly would place further constraints on its design and cost more. Further many fasteners are not designed for disassembly such as rivets and glues.

And even if a structure were designed to be dismantled, it would get compressed and otherwise destroyed at the junkyard anyways.
I don't think they've given reasons for it, but it's likely because they just completely destroy any kind of out of order execution. They'd end up requiring a fence before either instruction to ensure that you only push or pop the correct values and you couldn't speculate at all past them. Combine that with more than double the size of needed space (double number of registers, and double the size of them) it seems pretty wasteful. And then there's the fact that modern compilers are likely already avoiding those instructions because of the timing of saving extra registers that you aren't using in a given function, it probably just doesn't make much sense to keep them anymore.
That sounds great! I‘ll see where I can get one of those and give it a try.
I sympathize with the EFF here to some degree... But why in the world do they think Japan cares one bit what the EFF say? Japan likes doing things their own way, and they will learn on their own terms what works best for them and what doesn't.

It'd be like the ACLU telling Japan how to do justice in Japan.

That's the thing though. Java's "safety" began and ended as a bullet point in a powerpoint presentation. Not for not trying, but because the API surface is so big and the VM so abstract that they made it impossible for themselves to actually deliver sandbox-level security. To compare, js is tiny, has had thousands of man-years poured into it's security, and its customers prioritize security above everything else, and there are still exploits found in every engine every year. Java's security surface area is enormous in comparison, it has a fraction of the man hours dedicated to sandboxing it, and many of it's customers don't even care if the sandboxing is airtight. You can read through the full webassembly spec in a couple hours.
SD cards on Androids are kind of weird. It's not always consistent where things will be stored. Unless things have changed, many apps can't be installed to SD (and if you force it, you'll find that they are subtly broken). When you're building the phone to hit a low price point, you might not have the budget for a slot anyway; and unfortunately, you're likely to not put much more storage than is needed to boot the phone; let alone handle the play store updates that will be ready when it's unboxed.

It would really help if Google made translations suck less. They are stored uncompressed in the apk, even though human language text is easily compressed.

"So your anecdote trumps mine?"

How well did you understand what was happening with other people back then? My anecdote was meant to show that perhaps your knowledge wasn't as broad as you might have thought.

I'll quote from the 1993 paper "Gender Swapping on the Internet", at http://public.callutheran.edu/~chenxi/Phil350_132.pdf to give an idea of how even back then women might feel like they needed to hide their gender in order to prevent unwanted attention from anonymous people:

> "Back when I had time for MUD, I, too, played female characters. I found it extraordinarily interesting. It gave me a slightly more concrete understanding of why some women say, "Men suck." It was both amusing and disturbing."

> Female characters are often besieged with attention. By typing using the who command, it is possible to get a list of all characters logged on. The page command allows one to talk to people not in the same room. Many male players will get a list of all present, and then page characters with female names. Unwanted attention and sexual advances create an uncomfortable atmosphere for women in MUDs, just as they do in
real life.

> ... Male characters often expect sexual favors in return for technical assistance. A male character once requested a kiss from me after answering a question. A gift always incurs an obligation. Offering technical help, like picking up the check at dinner, can be used to try to purchase rather than win a woman's favor. While this can be subtle and sometimes overlooked in real life, in MUDs it is blatant, directly experienced by most, and openly discussed in public forums such as this USENET discussion.

No, these are not examples of trolling per se, nor is it meant to trump your statement. It is meant to re-enforce my question "How well did you understand what was happening with other people back then?"

"which makes it much more like the old 'net than a lot of other places"

Umm, HN has a strong moderator presence here, like https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=dang . That's rather different than "the old 'net", yes? (To be certain, there were moderated BBses and MUDs even back then too. But that's not what you were talking about.)
And an economics book that actually made sense to me: Hidden Order.

I liked his way of defending free trade. „In America there are two ways to make cars. We build them and we grow them. The people in Detroit use steel and build them. And the people in Iowa put corn and wheat on big ships, sail them eastward, and sone time later they come back with cars.“

How are they supposed to prevent counterfit goods, besides banning all third party sales, or inspecting millions of items? There isn't a reasonable fix except issuing refunds when it happens and banning accounts, or not having 3rd party sales at all, which isn't reasonable.
Have you heard about merged mining? It’s when one chain recognizes the mining being done on another chain. In some way, you aren’t restarting from scratch.

Also, the code powering each cryptocurencies isn’t immutable. People adopt changes; just not at the same pace as most other pieces of software.
Right, hence why "Verified" would be nice. An SKU should allowed to be merged if both are Verified or both are unverified.
If they want to avoid being branded as brain dead hypocrites, they can't decide to allow one dietary choice over another. This is really just a hippie driven religious debate in lab grown meat's clothing.
Ask HN: Should my goal as a programmer be to work at Google?
It seems that a lot of young programmers make it their main goal to work at Google, Facebook, Microsoft or other tech giants. While I can certainly see the benefits of working at such a company (scale, upskilling, networking, resume item, etc.), the likelihood of getting a job at these companies is obviously very low and I think I might be better off by setting more realistic goals.

A lot of people tell me "make your goals whatever you want, don't let society influence you", but I feel like I'm not living up to my full potential by not having that goal.

How can I justify to myself that not having the goal of working at a tech giant is okay?
Ok I see one article here that I still disagree with. Starbucks says they will work on this scenario and what prevents one from bringing their own straw if it's a disability issue? I think a solution here is possible while still protecting the environment and animals.
This seems reasonable, but I'd like to add that XML, while certainly not designed as a config language, could be made much more terse by using SGML, the markup metalanguage XML is derived from and of which XML is a subset. SGML has additional constructs for short forms such as tag omission/inference and short references (custom Wiki syntax) targetted at authoring, whereas XML only admits canonical angle bracket markup syntax which is what makes XML verbose and cumbersome for edititing by hand.
I would add Katz et al's proof system: https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/475

It has very practical proof times and sizes for a certain range of circuit sizes. E.g. we can prove knowledge of a LowMC-256 key with ~40kb, making it on par with SPHINCS for post-quantum signatures. No implementation yet, but they're working on one.
Academic expert says AI researchers aren't doing science
Completely agree. I love whisky of all kinds. And I was almost as excited to sample some new Japanese whiskies while visiting there as I was to do so in Scotland. But I have yet to taste a Japanese whisky that blows my mind. It's more refined than Irish whisky typically, and can't really compare it fairly to bourbon & rye, apples to oranges, from my view. It's good. But it pales in comparison to the Scottish stuff.

Doesn't stop the hype train though. And I get it, it's lesser known, most of the branding is beautiful. Japan has a cache to it and do details right.

But in my opinion, it's not exceptional whisky like a nice scotch.

Only thing we disagree on is Sherry casked whiskies. I don't like the effect it had on the profiles. I stay away from them.

Minecraft is absolutely not helping in the war on screens. As a former educator I laugh heartily at the proposition. Although, I did use "screen time" as a gift-able and earn-able commodity, and in a small classroom of kids it works great to encourage sharing, participation, group watch / observance, and "can I please share with Timmy now so I can have more screentime later?"

I would like to mention aah framework [1], Documentation [2], Examples [3]; have a look and see. Does it match with your direction and project needs. I'm looking forward to your candid feedback.

Personally I would say it depends on your project needs, timeline, etc. Whether you're gonna use framework or roll your own.

My suggestion is to take your time to evaluate the frameworks and select the one which satisfy you the most. Generally none-of-the-framework would cover 100% of project needs; including aah.

Spent some time working in Zhengzhou back in 2010/11, Foxconn paid significantly better (3x in some positions) than other factories. Parent comment is spot-on re: Foxconn job competitiveness.

A lot of the locals I got to know resented Western, media-driven interference in their jobs, they wanted to work longer hours, make more money, etc. They also resented being presented as helpless indentured servants. A lot of them were (are?) proud of their job.

Not applauding the labor practices, just an additional anecdata-point.

Why the linux and open source communities are so defensive of Microsoft lately?
> Apple having a hardware fix for their keyboard disasters in this revision is also inline with their repair program they just issued.

Yes, they just issued a repair program. Until precisely 3 weeks ago Apple refused to acknowledge the issue and forced customers to pay for costly repairs on their own dime. This patent was filed in September 2016. Apple was fucking lying through their teeth for a full 22 months and have been caught in that lie.

Frankly I'm amazed there isn't more outrage at this. How could anyone trust them going forward?
Please don't post ideological rants to HN.
Maybe this is more of a PR move than an ethics one, considering the growing sentiment against tech giants. Facebook has developed an image of quietly doing their deeds for a long period of time, then "getting caught red-handed" all of a sudden and dragged through the media. Maybe it's about getting ahead of the curve in this regard because they believe up and coming tech will continue to deepen privacy concerns rather than plateau any time soon. Of course, it's reasonable to assume the stakes will continue to rise with the power and reach of technology, so it's a good idea to publicly appear concerned long before the SHTF. It also passes off some of the responsibility to the government for whatever disaster they think could happen.

This guy seems to not understand business with his "intelligent markets" premise.

For example, I sell sheds (to parallel his ice cream example). What I know as a businessman is that if I don't sell enough sheds, its not because people don't have money for them. Its because I haven't found enough people who have the money.

They're out there. I just kick in a few advertising dollars, put up an incentive on my website to close the sale, and boom! I'm successful. Does this mean that I outsmarted a null market?
The patent contradicts that.
It depends. Small instances are a few bucks an hour, so if you just need a GPU for like a hundred hours then it’s great. If you are running the instance 24/7 for months on end, the equation changes. The big instances are cool though because they give you access to hardware that would be pretty unobtainable otherwise

Don’t worry about downvotes, even if you care about the karma points you can at most get to -4 anyway.

It's a bit more complex than that, as it's not just having access to the software, but to the whole environment. The move towards reproducible builds and configurations (Nix and the like) is a good thing for this, as well.
So curing one disease can also cure another...
First, let me say that encoding bits in whitespace is to Steganography what ROT13 is to Cryptography. Neither has a chance of success against any non-incompetent attacker, but they serve well as simple proofs of concept.

Second, you assume there's one canonical Hamlet.txt to compare against (which there's, if Alice was dumb enough to pick whatever is the first available option in Guthenberg.org as her cover message). For a more sophisticated attack, you must consider how many different editions, reprints, etc, have there been of that work over the centuries. For each of those, you must consider how many possible digitalizations can be obtained for different brands and configurations of scanners.

Then, there's the issue that you must do all of this for every large message that Internet users send to each other...

Moral positions are not facts, they are beliefs. if a person believes meat is bad, then that individual can give up meat. Done. That was easy wasn't it? If they want other people to join the movement, they they can shout about it from the rooftops. However, nothing gives them the right to force their beliefs on anyone else? That's what religious hypocrites do. Think about how most of the other problems you mentioned were created. Religious fundamentalists forcing their beliefs on someone else.

Why is the cynical view not appropriate? I'm much more suspicious of the idea that something was implemented with everyone's best interests in mind if there isn't strong evidence pointing there.

> To be successful in pretty much anything requires discipline and some level of
regimented behaviour.

There's no evidence to confirm this statement, even though it may sound like common sense.

And this post reads odd. The current school model is very old. If schools exist to instill discipline, and discipline is required for success, I'd expect everyone to be super successful right now.
On a related note I visited Hughenden Manor, near High Wycombe, last year. That was used in WW2 for map making, one of the maps they made were daily specialised target maps for the bomber raids.

They have a 1940s weekend in September where there are a lot of exhibitors and period equipment & 'actors'. There was also a battle demonstration on the fields. It appears to be on 15th and 16th of September this year but doesn't seem to be well publicised at the moment

I just started a project with Revel.

I dabbled with Go some years ago, and I was excited to try it again because I like statically typed languages and the simplicity of Go.

However, the package management story was insane. I had really hard time with that. Fortunately they are acknowledging the problems and fixing them.

Also, I kept missing Rust-style error handling. I've been programming in Rust extensively for a few years, and I thought Go might provide benefits of being "a simpler (garbage-collected) Rust". However, I keep longing some nice things from Rust.

Revel was... Ok. The fact that it builds the code while it's running is nice for rapid prototyping, but it was also really hard to fix if/when it didn't work. ( https://github.com/revel/revel/issues/1349 )

I found the default template engine to be a bit lackluster – template inheritance is the basic pattern I'd like to see everywhere as the default, but it didn't support that.

The project is still in an early phase so it's hard to say more than that.

As a pre-computer kid I say blaming screens is bogus. I’d do anything not to read the stupid books school gave me.

Fun thing I actually was an avid reader, but the curriculum books were totally out of place. At 12yo “Promessi Sposi” and “Divina Commedia” is such a shitty, verbose and convolute prose it killed my interest in literature.

Funnily enough I was enjoying at the time reading Calvino and Pirandello, authors I wouldn’t find in the curriculum until five years later. And read literally a ton of comics.

So blaming “screens” to me sounds like my average teacher back then totally disconnected with the minds of kids.
