Sometimes I wonder if trying to encrypt WiFi is even worth it. "E2EE or GTFO" is pretty compelling.

The counterargument is keeping packet headers (i.e. remote IP addresses) and plaintext DNS queries private, but that's already the use case of a VPN. Even if it's just a "VPN" to your own home router. And then it protects you even against the operator of the access point (or someone impersonating it because, as usual, the passphrase is widely distributed).
I think putting a full address on a resume is dangerous. Portland, OR should be enough for anyone. Resumes get passed around, posted everywhere, and who knows who will get their hands on your full name and address. It's especially dangerous for women who often have stalkers. This has been my experience. And anyhow, why would a potential employer need an address before hiring you? No reason. This coincidentally helps with finding jobs in a new city, even if one doesn't love there anymore.

>I still have a paper copy of Volume 5, number 11. The Huffman encoding article showed a very creative way of recursively writing out the code-tree for static Huffman encoding.

I remember reading that article in an old copy of BYTE that I picked up at a used book shop. The article was really good. It was early in my career and I remember being thinking what a cool algorithm it was, and felt good that I could understand how it worked. IIRC, the author's name was Jonathan Amsterdam.

This is a feature of iOS and macOS, at least. If you have a wifi network's password saved in your device, you can bring it physically close to another device that doesn't and it will ask whether you want to share. You have to affirm you want to give them the login before it will happen. Very handy when traveling as only one person in the group has to find and (mis)type the password :)

Hi Jaros,

Did you receive a response? And if so, how long did you wait after taking the test?
Nothing, just some R&D into optimizing 3D structures, like what was done with 2D. 3D chips have been an obvious step forward since the first 2D wafer, it just happened that making stuff smaller was easier, faster, and as long as Moore's law held true, also good enough. Now that we're reaching its limits in pure 2D, comes the time to go full 3D... and DARPA wants to be the first one.
Being proud does not make you nationalist. The issue with flag waving is the association with expansive military actions, repression of minorities etc. As in, outside sport match situation (where anybody waves flag), flag waving people were and are usually pro expansion, quite hateful and fearful of other ethnic groups, authoritarian etc.

Likely the association in USA is different. But here, when I see flag in backyard, I would expect open or at least above average animosity toward tourist of wrong color. And also expect support for authoritarian anti democratic group.

I think you're missing the point here: the exploitable bugs in their nature will exist forever. As you are either giving up the Turing-completeness, or are allowing them to possibly exist.

Just like it were in 2000s: the fight between the people who were capable of unpacking the executables from their respective defensive mechanisms and the people who implement various mechanisms of obfuscating the executable.

For example: online en/decryption of the code, or the later stages of this concept implemented first in Assassin's Creed, where the servers would store various connecting components between stages of the game. So you would need to reach point A under constraints C1 and C2, before the server would tell you what follows A.

My point is, you can't take defensive mechanisms implemented in software at their extreme. Simply because of Turing-completeness. The moment we've got the tools that could, under a certain amount of constraints, prove that you can never execute any code that have not been compiled into the executable - is the moment when we don't actually need to develop any new software to defend ourselves.
Across 8 years of activity on HN and more than one thousand comments, I’ve received 4 admonitions leading to this ban -- first in 2015 regarding the history of Diophantine equations and the Western fathers of science (as opposed to it being supposedly rooted in Islamism) which you called a "religious flamewar" (I stand by the history of science, and never discussed those topics together again); one mildly annoyed response in 2017 to someone who was lying about Piaget and Montessori which you said crossed into "incivility" (I stand by these giants of pedagogy; I haven't called someone’s deliberate falsehoods "malicious" or "poppycock" again, nor engaged with vilifiers of either scientist); in a thread 5 months ago I very politely asked someone twice to provide evidence for their claim about an author’s geneticism, which you called "a pointless flamewar" (I quit asking HN liars for evidence); lastly, 4 months ago, in answer to people who dogmatized that there is no energy-efficient way to remove massive quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere, and that capture by plants is net neutral, I pointed out that photosynthesis by phytoplankton constantly removes massive quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere, and I referenced the steady decline of CO2 levels across geological times -- you told me I was "uncivil and/or unsubstantive" (I shall continue to rely on and present scientific facts and evidence). That’s it, until last week, when I mocked some Luddite who had disparaged wealth and technology as "engineering" religion, and who then invoked Dawkins to smash my supposed idols; did he get warned or banned? no, but his first unhinged comment was flagged and hidden two days after my mockery earned banishment. This is what allows you to say "We've given you a ton of warnings and you've ignored them." Your decision appears more prejudiced against the ideas and politics I’ve upheld (likely in more than the few above threads) than concerned with my actual history of participation or my supposedly not paying attention to the few warnings received across 4 of my last 8 years here.

And since my account is now shadow-banned, nobody else gets to grok how this particular sausage is made.

I've never spent any appreciable time 'navigating with a mouse' and 'adjusting window borders' on other OSs. Sounds like those thundering imprecations that we all must use vim or emacs because IDEs require mouse use (which they don't).

It also depends on the bandwidth available. Average users don't overpay for unlimited.

I think I revised and added to my comment after you replied. Sorry about that. I added some more of my unique experiences.

I have been sleeping better for years but it causes me to have to perform the morning and evening transitions twice as often.

EDIT:
I guess the thread is too deep but I can’t reply. By “transitions” I just mean all the stuff I do between doing the stuff that occupies me. It’s common that I find another problem and start compulsively trying to fix that instead of getting back to work on the thing I would rather be doing. When I work in an office it’s not really an issue but I am trying to develop patterns that allow me to not work in an office, mostly for career progression. I want to work in a different industry and can only get freelance work in it for now.

I also tend to find I ultimately fix my own problems in my own way, but finding corrolaries can be useful in the decisions of what to try next.
Is that a recent shift? I remember talking to someone from a VFX shop a few years ago, and they made it sound like back then anything cloud was a no-go due to their customers requiring material to stay in-house for fear of leaks.

This is probably because you don't use much of the Python ecosystem in your C module. If you're trying to speed up something that both calls and is called from Python then Cython saves a lot of verbiage and some fiddly bits.

I've often noticed this exchange on HN.

Someone well-meaning recommends someone to cherish their parent(s) and maintain contact with them, and gets checked by people telling them that not all parent-child relationships and interactions are pleasant or desired.

Are many people here estranged from their parents?

I too have seen my biological father barely 10 times in my entire life, but I have had other father figures in my life, uncles and aunts and other adults that raised me and guided me, and regrettably passed away too soon because I could pay them back, or even show them my appreciation enough.

There are still people from my childhood who still help me and whom I wish I could get along with, but there is also a lot of friction between us and I regret that, because they are at the end of their lifespans and I would like to part on a better note if possible.

People only live once and there is never anyone else exactly like someone. Even if you despise your close relations on a personal level, in the interest of "science" I think you could still try to gain their insights and record their experiences, document their history, before they cease to exist. Especially if you are the best or only person in the position to do that.
Agreed, sounds like most of what he needs is moral support anyway.

He said the state or organizations helped him get a bed, shelter, food, medical attention, and even nice work clothes. He also has a laptop and has been trying to get back up to speed.

I think in this case, it's mostly just putting himself out there. If you have 100 interviews, and 99 are unsuccessful, the one win is enough that the expected value of applying is worth it.

Good luck!

One thing it seems no one has mentioned in the Linux vs. MacOS flamewar is that Linux is ugly, while MacOS, while maybe not beautiful, is inoffensive at worst and elegant at best.

I use Linux and Mac almost equally and for CLI apps I'm pretty happy with either one (although Mac is a bit better), but for GUI applications I'll go with Mac every time.

fasm is a very good assembler to start with, and I've used it a lot for various things over the years. Unfortunately one of the executable formats it's not able to generate (natively) is the 16-bit segmented protected-mode "NE" format (16-bit Windows), which forced me back to MASM for a recent project.

That said, like these posts show, it is possible to make fasm generate it "byte-by-byte" and perhaps macro-ise it for future use, although I had other constraints at the time which meant MASM was the easier choice.

In our factory, is at least still one OS/2 PC running. I'm not proud for this.
Well, I figure with CUPS (the printer system currently used by macOS and GNU/Linux and other open source Un_x systems), it is the responsibility of CUPS to support printers, while on Windows, it is the responsibility of printer manufacturers to supply drivers for their printers.

Well, guess what - vendor-supplied drivers suck donkey-balls, while third-party drivers (as supplied by CUPS or GhostScript) focus on supporting the functionality the printer in question provides and nothing else.

It's the same as with GPUs, except that printers are (AFAICT) less complicated than GPUs.

In theory, Windows can do some things you can not replicate on GNU/Linux and/or macOS without major pain - e.g. that client submit their print jobs in b/w unless specifically requested otherwise (because on our support contract, color printing costs ~10x as much per page as b/w). In practice, though, it works about as reliably as trying to photograph a specific star in the sky while blindfolded and with - at best - a fuzzy idea what day it is.

People keep telling me that Windows is a superior OS for desktop systems because it "just works", but clearly those people do not do a lot of printing. ;-)

So first, to put a term to what the grand parent is describing, they are generally referred to as 'queue times' referencing the wafers waiting in a queue.

Effectively it is an atmospheric interaction, most commonly with oxygen but also light, hydrogen sulfide (from agricultural production - land is cheaper in the countryside), and other sources of contamination.

Most wafer processing - especially depositions of materials like metals - are done in a vacuum. if you deposit a metal (lets assume aluminum) in a vacuum you effectively get a pure aluminum layer. Pure aluminum is highly reactive with oxygen

As soon as that layer is exposed air it oxidizes - same thing as rust. You know this as the dull surface finish that raw/bare aluminum gets if left out or when you purchase it. It's what happens very quickly after you machine aluminum - the shiny surface goes away. That is the aluminum oxidizing.

Aluminum oxide has different electrical properties than pure aluminum, different enough to fundamentally affect the function of the transistor devices being constructed. If I have a 2" thick piece of aluminum that layer, maybe only a few microns (assume 5) thick after 24 hours, is basically inconsequential. It represents 0.01% of the thickness of the piece. It is error but not much more in the electrical properties of the piece. However, if semiconductor layer is much thinner... maybe 10microns thick...the effect of the oxidation on the electrical properties is much much higher and pushes it outside the tolerances the device can have and still function.

And because the deposition layers aren't just surfaces, but penetrate to fill trenches in the devices they are basically impossible to remove at most steps.
Always trying to solve your problems mostly yourself.

Shortcut is trust others, but be selective. Of critical importance.

I don't know what you mean by transitions, but that's fine. I have my own words too.
UBI is not at all aimed at taking people out of the work force. If you had basic food and possibly rent covered every month, would you just stop working? Forever? If so I think that says more about you than it does society as a whole.

I took my Cirrus SR22 airplane across the pond and back a few months ago [KFRG CYHU CYZV CYYR CYKL CYFB BGSF BIRK EGPC]. Two things surprised me: the manner people live up North, and how modernized technology is changing the risk profile of the flight.

People up north (well, native people anyway) live a sustenance lifestyle of of necessity. Far from being a "cultural attraction," for them, it's a choice between a $20 stick of butter and a free whale from the ocean. When you're living on government subsidies in a town plagued by joblessness, there's not much of a choice.

The economic condition up in arctic Canada was saddening in other ways. Imagine living in -40F climates, and not having a place to stay. There are often 15-20 people per tiny house, with children's mattresses strewn across the ground of the living room. On top of the living quarters, the communications infrastructure was horrendous - a satellite backbone for internet that was next to useless for getting a weather briefing.

While the situation on the ground was... enlightening, from the air, things are becoming immensely more modern. Historically dangerous aspects to ferry flights are now void: communication, navigation, and rescue are all radically transformed.

Communication used to be a huge challenge (think clunky HF radio with a 25 foot trailing link antenna), but is now a non-event with a satellite phone. My Iridium candy-bar phone, while expensive, now gives me the ability to call ATC worldwide and let them know my exact position. By next year, ATC will automatically get real-time position updates from any ADS-B equipped aircraft: https://aireon.com/.

Navigation used to be a combination of LORAN, NDBs, and looking at the stars (no joke). Now, it's GPS direct. You know exactly where you are at all times, with 0 ambiguity. And you have an iPhone in your pocket as a backup, even if your plane goes totally dark.

Rescue is now a matter of hours instead of days. I carried a PLB with me. If I pressed a button, satellites would be pinged with an SOS signal and my exact GPS location. Rescue aircraft could be dispatched immediately and on-site within hours.

For anyone thinking about this trip, do it! The adventure will give you an appreciation for the frontiers of technology.

last time I was in a 300mm fab I definitely saw OS/2, command lines being used by technicians, and a LOT of windows embedded 3.1.

The main defense is a computer at the entrance where technicians are supposed to scan their USB drives. It's a devils choice really...do you put the tools on an externally accessible network? If not how do engineers get data off of tools? how does the factory talk to itself and schedule things?

I don't envy FAB IT. Utterly thankless.
There goes the automatic response. I really don't care what your coworkers do, because I'm not amassing evidence for a general proposition (if I were interested enough in that I'd go an do a Phd on it). I have used OSX/macOS for several years. It has used close to zero of my limited time to maintain. That's what I want from an OS.
It is a little repetitive. The best solution is Rust's Result system. But I'd say Ho's error handling system is second to that.

You might be thinking "but... exceptions!". They are a pretty bad solution. The problems are:

* Error handling is hidden - it's impossible in most implementations to know which exceptions can be thrown by a function
* Flow control context is lost. If you wrap lots of lines with try {} you don't know which one caused the error and can't add context information. You end up with shit error messages like "file not found" rather than "error opening config file foo.cfg: file not found". The solution is to wrap every line in a separate try/catch but that is just Go-style error handling but shitter and even more verbose.

Go is a good balance. If you want proper error handling you have to actually write it. Yes it is a little tedious but that's what it takes to do it properly.

If you don't want to do it properly then fine, use Bash and set -e. But accept that it will be shit.
