The aether stuff confuses me. We replaced light traveling through some medium, the aether, with light traveling through a photon field which permeates all of space, among many other fields. That sounds like an aether by another name. Yet now we say aether theories of the turn of the 20th century types are debunked and everyone then was wrong. Yes the medium of a field is very different in nature than any classical ones (it's quantum after all), but the concept overall seems similar. Even when aether theory was in vogue it was known that the light medium would have to be very different than that of a gas or liquid (waves traveling without resistance).

So maybe this is being pedantic, but I just don't see how a field is not a medium. It seems like we found the medium and described it, then gave it a new name and turned around and laughed at our physics forebearers like they were ignorant geocentrists (slight exaggeration).
So essentially this just puts all of your files in the resource section of a PE or ELF executable and extracts them when you run it. Not really very new or noteworty or am I missing something here?
Vaginal delivery is associated with better outcomes for the child too. IMO that makes it not strictly the mother's choice. Indeed surgical procedures should never be entirely elective.

Not within the solar system, but within the stellar neighborhood. If you construct a voronoi volume around the sun, then very roughly you'd expect 5 solar masses of dark matter in that volume. But that is a HUGE volume, on the order of tens of thousands of AU on a side. In the area we can directly observe (via orbits of bodies we can see), the fraction of dark matter comes out to like one part in a trillion or thereabouts.
Modern Qt Development: The Top Tools You Should Be Using
Almost all of our current scientific knowledge has come from challenging the consensus of the times. Scientific skepticism is always healthy and should be welcomed. Even if the original theory is correct, that doubt will simply help science better explain and prove the current understanding. I'd actually be more worried if everyone agreed about something. Even gravity we thought was fully solved until Einstein doubted that we understood it fully. Let's be careful of putting anything in the category of "beyond doubt", especially theories that haven't been tested or confirmed directly.
Maybe it better to use DLL and ship to tens of thousands of servers instead.

This carries the implicit assumption that all forces fall off monotonically with distance. Maybe gravity doesn't? Maybe it has a curve similar to a meteor impact crater: raised in the middle, a deep valley, and raised at the outer edge?

Of course, with more evidence, such as the observations of the Bullet cluster, these simple explanations fall apart. But at any rate, it's not enough to take one observation and assume it holds at all scales.

I would describe that post as propagating junk science. It’s cherry picking stats and skewing them. Odds ratio difference for pelvic organ issues for women who have a C section vs natural delivery. That’s just establishing strength of association. It’s surprising that there is any association for women who have a c section. The ‘safer for babies’ paragraph makes the claim that 692 babies would be saved if 1 million women chose c-section over natural delivery. So 0.069%? I hear you about wanting to be skeptical but there is conclusive research on negative effects to children who are delivered via c section. https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2017/10/14/... Not to mention that it’s a massive surgery for the mother with all the inherent risks of one.

It's also useful the other way around - if you add a field which has significance only to the client (and these account for most fields), you don't have to count on the server knowing about this field immediately which simplifies your testing and deployment.

This thread is entertaining as an object lesson in white male fragility. Obsessing about a side note in an article because the scrutiny normally reserved for nonwhite-males is glancingly turned their way...

Instead of indulging the sense of alarm you get from this sort of (very mild) scrutiny, try to get outside of your ego and consider that this feeling you have is others' normal state of existence. You'll adapt better as demographics change and the wheel turns, and introspection is good for you.

I'm a lifelong Windows user - I usually install software by downloading installers and double clicking them.

Every so often HN rolls their eyes at all these idiots who do "curl | sh". How is doing so any different from downloading an installer over https and running it? Really, if installing software is what we're doing, isn't running it part of the objective?

Or, in short, why is "curl | sh" frowned upon and why are alternatives better?
Caesarians are way more dangerous than vaginal births. A C-section patient can die of pulmonary embolism from the blood clots from the procedure, directly from bleeding (the surgeon can nick an artery or the incision can lacerate during the actual birth), the wound can get infected (it's quite a large wound), and, of course, it's major surgery, so the anaesthesia can kill you (even if you're not all the way under; my wife had a near miss when our first was born). The risks get worse in subsequent Caesarians.
Permanently modifying it (using Set-ExecutionPolicy) requires admin, but from what I remember, setting it on a per-process basis by starting powershell.exe with the -ExecutionPolicy flag does not.
Very true.

These numbers seem correct, but I don't see how they add up to "extreme [pilot] incompetence" mentioned upthread. The countries that do worse are poorer, and therefore consistently fly older airframes with worse maintenance schedules, and regulations aren't as strict.

For all we know Africa has the best pilots in the world but the crappiest airframes, or fantastic pilots and awesome airframes but their maintenance is atrocious.

I'm not saying I find that especially plausible, but until these numbers are at the very least adjusted for hull loss rates by region of operator per million departures per age of airframe we're comparing apples to oranges.
Just because they are wealthier or educated, doesn't mean they will make the most scientific decision; otherwise no doctor would ever smoke. Background/nurturing/societal norms also play a role. I have heard multiple well-off/educated women say, "no way I would put myself through so much pain when I can have quick c-section". Note that I'm not passing any judgement as it is their body and they are the one who will experience the pain so it is their decision.

Boston is terrible at this. It seems like it's the only thing they're building right now in the city's most popular neighborhoods (South End, South Boston, Seaport). All the other neighborhoods are just renos, renos, renos.

And yet occupancy rates are at around 50%, a good portion of the ones that are taken up are from foreign investors paying all cash, and like someone else mentioned, the workmanship is mediocre at best (I saw one go up literally right next to my house from the studs).

I just can't see why it's either luxury or low-income housing. The margins can't be that good if you have huge occupancy rates, and it's certainly subsidized if you're building for low-income housing...isn't there a better way in the middle?

The conclusion includes "We offer an optimization methodology for experts, and a tool usable by end-users today." but doesn't provide any pointers on where to find them.

But even then, there's no reason to assume that there is any in that space. For example, imagine that all the dark matter was in a disk around the solar system, way out farther than the asteroid belt. If you could see through it, you would never know. Or maybe it rings galaxies. Or maybe it hangs out in clumps between galaxies. Or... It literally could be anything because we can only measure it on the scale of mind boggingly massive structures.
Plenty of journalists wrote positively or hopefully about Magic Leap, which is why it had significant hype and expectations. Being optimisitic about the future is not necessarily a commendable perspective if it’s rooted in credulity.

> [..] piggy backing on the current political climate [..]

I wholeheartedly agree with your observation (including original comment), and you already found the reason here by yourself.
>> dark matter seems to repeatedly rub people the wrong way today, more so than any other scientific concept I can think of.

Because, while interesting to a great many scientists, the practical implications of this knowledge are centuries away. Defining dark matter, understanding the backbone of our universe, isn't going to cure cancer. It isn't going to fix global warming. It isn't going to get us to Mars. So when people read of massive experiments throwing unending brainpower and money into the DM hunt, it is natural for them to react as they do. Astronomers give us pictures of far away places that satisfy our natural need to explore. DM hunters stare at numbers and statistics, generating papers and messy diagrams. They aren't fighting an uphill PR battle.

There are also a not-small number of people for whom the DM hunt represents a challenge to their fundamental beliefs. Talk of colliding galaxies billions of light-years away conflicts with the young-earth model that is part of their daily lives. Rather than criticize on that basis and appear ignorant, they lash out on other grounds.

As a 24 year old currently hobbiest programmer (looking to change that), I was able to follow along and really enjoyed this article. Anything I can learn technical and close to the "bare metal" I get immense satisfaction from. I have however had experience with registers and contiguous memory etc while working on a fat32 usb interface in C with libusb during my undergrad research. I think a lot of this puzzle-like nature lives on in protocols. That said I definitely agree that spare time is a factor for things like this. At least in the professional world considering the speed of development and computers themselves.

It's interesting how bad trends persist even though most people say they are a problem. Open office is one, excessive meetings is one, E-mail overload, Slack and so on.

My theory is that the people in power (management) quickly get to the level where everything they do in their jobs requires talking to multiple people and coordinating and they apply that need to everybody's work so they think all work is about "Collaboration" and "Connecting".

At least for engineering I think there is not that much need for constant collaboration but there is a big need for focused work which is hard to do in an open office.

In addition open offices even fail for collaboration. I work in a cube farm with some open office space and I rarely see people actually collaborate there. Instead people have headsets and are desperately trying to focus. I used to work in team rooms before and there we talked to each other a lot in comparison.

The commodore 128 allowed the same trick of moving the machine stack and zero page. But the 6510 processor didn't have useful multiple-push or multiple-pull instructions so the possible speedup wasn't as much. Also in practice people writing games for the commodore targetted the C64 as it was a much larger market and the 128 was backwards conpatible so nobody bothered witb 128-only tricks like that.
Ask HN: 40+ Career Advice?
So many recruiters are looking for senior developers like me to join their early stage team and to do development and assist junior devs via knowledge sharing.

But I don't want to exhaust myself helping other people. I want to do things for myself and for a client. I would prefer to get a more rewarding position:

* Not in an open office
* Possibility to work from home
* Android + Spring Boot
* Not so many meetings
* No incompetent managers who induce stress to people
* Colleagues who are calm and quiet but enough sociable to perhaps grab an occasional beer and have a nice chat

Do these kinds of jobs exist? Do you suggest I go solo and take on development jobs myself? I think part of the problem is that many companies around expect the workplace to have open office and so on and many cannot provide me with a work environment I can thrive in.

I'm 40 years old without any children and would like to be able to not be stressed and work overtime and solve hard technical problems and move towards a more rewarding job where it's not so stressful but interesting creatively and my work is valued so that I can balance well with my life.

Do you understand my question? I don't want to take on roles that people want me to do but find jobs (by your insightful ideas) that suit me better.
Thank you!

You can also check that an installer isn't corrupted sfter downloading and before running, classically withe the md5 hash.

You actually can even permanently modify it as a normal user. You need to be admin to run set-executionpolicy -Scope LocalMachine (which is the default) but you can run set-executionpolicy -Scope CurrentUser as a normal user.

(This can be overridden by policies though.)

Also, in windows 10 the default ExecutionPolicy changed from Windows 7 so by default you can run powershell scripts even without using -executionpolicy bypass.

Coming late to suggest something that may be a bit more from left field, Canberra - Australia.

Canberra is a small city in Australia. Designed as the nations capital it has a number of unusual characteristics such as strong town planning from its inception, high average income, low unemployment and good traffic. It is socially progressive compared to Australia and environmentally conscious.

60% of Canberra's population above 35 have at least one degree. The city has multiple significant universities, including the Australian National University - commonly ranked the best in Australia and 20th in the world by the QS rankings. The city has to actively work to recruit sufficient tradespeople.

The city is intermixed with the environment. It follows a multiple city center design which means you can be traveling down the highway in the middle of the city and not be able to see any buildings. There is considerable natural parkland throughout the city. Further afield it is two hours to the snow fields and two hours to the beach towns.

Living costs are reasonable, significantly less than the bay area, but not as low as a rural town. Canberra has ranked well in world livability reports in recent years. Being a small city there is also more choice in the costs incurred, living in the outer suburbs or outside the city significantly reduces rent but is still a very reasonable commute.

The tech industry is small but highly skilled and well paid. Most work is focused around government and military, through direct employment and service providers. Security and cloud migration work is in particular demand at the moment. The open source community is also strongly represented with groups such as IBM's OzLabs.

Dead USB Port? Here’s How to Diagnose and Fix It
What makes you say that innovation is slowing down across the globe?
It all comes down to trust. If you trust that the code you're downloading is good then by all means curl | sh.

A lot of things can go wrong with this though, if you pull a script from a github link and run it, the code could have been modified since you last looked at the repo and now you're directly running malicious code.

When you download an msi in Windows and then double click to install, you're also putting your trust in the website, the software author and anyone else in the supply chain.

I think the better option is downloading, manually reviewing the script you downloaded, and then running it.

If you're devops-ing something then you should probably download the script/code and then do some kind of hash or signature check to make sure it's the known good version, then run it.
