Yup, which is fantastic.

I was pointing out that it takes more than an equal or better product at an equal or lesser price, due to many things baked into the current state of computers / servers.
Poor fellow. Maybe third time's the charm and he'll finally see some success.
I only use Wine indirectly, but I use it frequently because a ton of Steam games that run on Linux use Wine under the hood.

I just don't buy/play games that don't have a Linux version, as a VM was historically (maybe still?) too much hassle in terms of getting GPU to work, etc.
Most, if not all, of those versions are the latest provided by CentOS 7. They backport security patches, see https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting
Looks interesting but it’s unclear to me, do you copy the threads content?

One other comment, there seems to be a spammer on the review page...
The fact that I am ordering online means that I can wait. I'd prefer efficient delivery to ASAP delivery.

I wanted a replacement desktop power supply ASAP; went to two PCWorlds which sold parts like graphics cards and hard disks; nope, didn’t sell power supplies.

I don’t know any more independent computer shops locally that haven’t shut down over the years, and ordered it on amazon for Saturday delivery - which was a much better experience and could have saved me miles of driving and half an hour or more of wasted time - with a better selection.

I guess you’re somewhere that next day shipping is not normal?

For this to work, don't they have to be the exclusive means of getting stock information for a bank? So everyone who owns bank stock in a bank that uses banclist must agree to use it to get all shareholder disclosure information?

This terrible, but building a business based on third party api's is always a tremendous risk. This isn't the first time a bunch of small apps have been killed off by some company making their api's inaccessible.

Also, for people who are pushing for more government regulation of service providers - this is the lite version of what you are asking for.
It sounds (towards the end) that this is saying that accepting a approximation of correct is often good enough, and that can often be made polynomial time.

Which is of course correct. There are lots of algorithms where there exist theoretical minimum complexities, but good approximations can do far better: lossy compression for example vastly beats the Shannon limit, google maps doesn’t take decades to plot a route from San Francisco to New York, etc
Bookmark and password syncing is very important to me. As far as I know Safari is unusable on Linux and Windows so it’s not an option. I’ve settled on Firefox Developer edition after finally getting sick of chrome a couple of years ago. Also had good success with Brave and Vivaldi but Brave isn’t quite there yet and Vivaldi needs syncing and a mobile app.
I can't speak to their existing mitigations directly, but more generally Spectre will be an ongoing saga for years to come.

I seriously doubt the mitigations in place, whatever they are, are comprehensive even for existing proven Spectre channels. The engines haven't even solved RowHammer. It's a very difficult problem domain, particularly for an application JIT'ing random, untrusted code from the Internet. In many respects they're (IMHO) quietly punting because there just aren't satisfactory solutions. Browsers are really stuck between a rock and a hard place, more so than VM providers like AWS EC2.

One of the more general solutions is simply to stop trusting the browser, if not your entire operating system. Keep your most sensitive secrets inaccessible to software to the greatest degree possible. Use smartcards and other hardware tokens for authentication, for example.

For a project I was working I needed to synchronize clocks with extremely high precision (though accuracy was less important, and it was masterless so there was no authority) similar to PTP and I created the following simple system:

1. Server: Connect over TCP. For every byte sent, responds back with that system's time in microsceonds.

2. Client: Select a few peers, one at a time: connect over TCP, send a byte and note the round-trip time, halve it to get an approximation of the timepoint that the value was sent to you at, compute delta from current system clock; repeat 20 times, discard first 5 values; exclude outliers (+/- 1 standard deviation) and average to compute the offset, then repeat for the next host, etc until you get some change to make

It worked out and kept the required precision among the collection of nodes required for Ceph to work well.
I've seen the Pipistrel at EAA a few times. It seems to be a real product, but flight time is quite short, even though it's basically a sailplane with an engine. That's why they're billing it as a trainer.

I use a sketchbook for any development and design sketches, as well as meeting notes and information from conversations.

I try not to bring my computer to meetings so I'm not distracted. I prefer to write things down with pencil because I'm the type of person who needs to erase things all the time, and by crossing things out with pen, things get messy, and my OCD flares up.

For everything else, I keep my life in a variety org org-mode files.
My first thought was to try to use 'containers' (cgroups) combined with the AMD secure memory extensions to achieve this type of isolation using as much off the shelf hardware as possible.

https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/x86/sme

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/amd-memory-encr...

From the quick description it sounds like this provides a way of encrypting, per memory page, based on a symmetric key that is backed by some level of hardware encryption. It was not clear (in a quick read) how or where to specify the key by which an individual page is encrypted. That would be a critical component of comprehension with respect to identifying if this could be used to encipher individual processes and further isolate memory. It sounds like it might be possible to establish per-process memory isolation, which is probably the best level of security possible without resorting to entirely isolated hardware.
Why does this happen so much? I mean, this is science: shouldn’t chemicals react as they do in theory? It doesn’t seem like it’d leave a lot to chance.
Given that the entire field of chemistry appeared in this fashion from alchemy, I suspect the tradition is very well ingrained by this point.

Yield isn't linear. It's a cube root relationship.

The difference between 100MT, 10MT and 1MT is hardly insignificant, but it's smaller than many people realise.

FWIW a ballpark estimate says 700MT would have a 1 psi overpressure radius - which would break windows but not buildings - of less than 100km.

It would be a huge bang and the noise would circle the world a few times. But if it landed on land, the total obliteration region would be smaller than a state. And the explosion itself wouldn't be extinction-level - although the winter that followed it would cause some severe problems.

Tambora, which is the biggest explosion in modern records, was estimated around 33GT, and the blast effects from that were very, very, very bad, but still relatively localised.

Chicxulub has been estimated as at least 20 billion Hiroshimas - and perhaps as much as four times that. That set fire to most of a hemisphere. And it still wasn't a complete obliteration/sterilisation event.
yes, this state of affairs where you can buy a property and then expect to not be inconvenienced by corporations or governments in a myriad ways and then to sue if your peace is threatened is called 'civilization'.

it seems that what you imagine is a 'temporary inconvenience of a few families'. what I imagine is a world where every day there is a new 'temporary inconvenience' which you are supposed to endure 'for the good of the many', over and over again -- because that is what will happen when 'heroes' like the one in the article are allowed to run amok.
Here's a nice interview with the discoverer: https://news.artnet.com/art-world/chemist-mas-subramanian-on...
Per-process keys aren't really possible because memory can change process ownership (vmsplice) or be shared across processes (fork, page cache, memfd). It might be possible for pages marked MADV_DONTFORK

Additionally a per-process key does not help against spectre style attacks where you would trick the process into speculating on protected memory.
the official resellers told me I must take it to the USA where I bought it.

This is such a common policy that it's a surprise to me when it's not the case. There's even a term for it: a "grey market" product, meaning a product intended for sale in one region/country, but shipped to another. Warranties are often a dodgy proposition in these cases.

My advice to anyone buying a product in another country that may need warranty service: check the manufacturer's policies before buying. Can you use the regular service network(s) in your country, or will you need to ship the product for service? To where? Will you have warranty coverage at all? In some cases, as the parent noted, policy may depend on your regional distributor rather than the manufacturer.
And what about caching the bytecode so that it only happens once?

That’s just classic gambler fallacy.

If you want an example of reverse gambler fallacy, see here - https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=20231181&goto=threads%...

There the author says “10k heads have shown up, so 10k tails are waiting to show up”

which is equally rubbish.

There’s this weird thing where people on HN keep falling prey to Gambler’s fallacy. Maybe it’s like a programmer’s blind spot ?
This kind of mitigation really only makes sense on shared machines (such as servers). On a desktop OS, if an attacker is in a position to read memory from other processes, it's pretty much game over already.

Browsers implement Spectre/Meltdown mitigation on desktop OSes because without that, JS could read secrets from other JS contexts executing in the same process. One of the mitigations is in fact to just segregate JS contexts into different processes depending on the domain they belong to. But most apps don't execute untrusted code so most apps don't have this sort of in-process attacker to worry about.

Because it was in the public’s interest to fund them and the public should reap the benefits. It should be “open”. I know this is largely a philosophical difference of view, but let me ask you: why should the public fund anything if it doesn’t do anything to benefit the public?
There is no RPi vulnerability(in this article). The RPi was just used as a bastion into the internal network. It could have been any SBC. Once your already inside the internal network things get stupid lax.

EG. I can't see your Windows shared folders from the internet, but the PC in the next room can. Someone sneaked an RPi into JPL to be that PC in the next room.

See Also; Season 1 Mr Robot had this exact scenario as a plot point.

I know nothing about Eviation other than what this article says. They're claiming 650 miles of range with nine passengers on batteries, and to that I will not say I'm merely skeptical. I'm saying they are flat-out liars selling bullshit, and I'll stake my engineering reputation on that statement.
Computational chemistry involves solving multiple NP-hard problems. There is an increasing reliance on computational models and simulation, but chemists realize that the models are approximations (since it's computationally infeasible to have perfect fidelity simulations). The only surefire way to observe a compound's properties is to synthesize it and measure.
That does seem like the obvious problem with this. For example AWS apparently have GPS time sync to all their datacenters in order to provide accurate NTP time to the instances in them: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/keeping-time-with-amazon-ti... It seems like it'd be hard to beat the connection speed and all-around performance of that, especially since there's a cross-internet trip from the third party stratum 1 servers to Cloudflare as well as the one from their servers to you.

I agree with the article about luck and context. The world changed, your brand, product, or philosophy may be come less relevant or regarded over time, or faces greater competition.

But part of the death of genius is certainly in rooted in the person. A number of pitfalls in that direction to which we can relate. I think a major one is believing in your own hype, decreasing your ability to reject bad ideas. Also success can dim the the fire inside that had something to prove, and by caring less, settle for less. Also, for certain types of genius, it may have depended on peak working memory, and that declines with age. Last, I think knowledge of the world dims certain types of genius. I think melodic genius is particularly vulnerable to having heard and played too much music previously. Patterns get built up in your mind, and when trying to write music, at least for me, not only am I more likely to travel down the same worn melodic paths, but if I do discover some interesting turn of melodic phrase, I am more likely to recall some bit of music that I've heard, and go "ahh.. its one of these" and suddenly its hard for it to take its own path, and you are comparing it to what was written before....which kinda kills a moment of inspiration.

> There is even a legend that athletes who appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated are doomed to suffer the “SI jinx”. The rise to the top is followed by the fall from grace.

This phenomenon is pretty easily explained. People make the cover of SI when they've peaked or just hit a major accomplishment. It's extremely unlikely that they'll do anything but regress.

Additionally, until recently there were 50 SI covers per year. Once we're aware of the "SI Jinx", we remember the ones where it comes true and ignore the many, many, many issues where it doesn't.

If the breakage is ultimately caused by compilers like GCC omitting the length for single-character strings, why doesn't this discuss the fix of simply changing GCC to start putting the length there for single-character strings?
I could see it being useful when using grep or writing awk scripts. For the latter you usually have to carry around some state if you want to deduce the path to a desired leaf node.

I could also see it useful for just finding the index of a particular array entity.
And in French, potato is "pomme de terre", which can literally be translated as "apples of earth" - or as I like to call them, "ground apples".
Yes, it has since been “disproven”. But not all the way. I bet that spending all your time memorizing useless trivia will take away resources — at least in terms of time and opportunity — from, say, learning a language or a scientific discipline. Opportunity cost is a thing! And I think that’s true on the level of memory also.
Linux apps are clang & GCC, macs use clang, windows is clang, gcc, and Microsoft's compilers. AFAIK, icc is pretty small in market share.
Seems like we're missing a "StocList" for buying/selling shares in private companies. There are some "secondary market" services. But (IIRC) they all take a hefty cut from both parties, have zero transparency, act as an intermediary, have high minimum transactions, etc.

Seems like accredited investors and private company stock owners should be able to make deals directly. Someone get on it!

I'm really curious about the result. While your point is valid, there's the other side as well - never shop hungry. And considering the local supermarket is busiest after 5pm, I'm sure many people do.

So there's buying extra for convenience vs impulse buying what you see. In my personnel experience shopping online, the impulse buys go away, but I make the shopping list the same way, with one big batch a week, so overall buying less.
Authors can choose to be part of the paywall and get extra traffic sent to them; while also getting a separate URL they can distribute that points to the same article but bypasses the paywall, so their regular readers can read what they write. Or authors can just publish, no paywall, but no traffic sent to them by medium, either.

It's the direction that everyone seems to be moving. Wall up the gardens, remove your own access to your information, and remove the ability to share and integrate across platforms.

The weird thing is how quickly the sentiment turned from my perspective. I felt like one day most technical people applauded the ability to have total real-time access to your data, to be able to write code or use open source code to plug into these systems and augment them for better. To be able to have a startup or small company write software that can work with your google/facebook/apple/whatever account and use the information there in new ways.

Then all of a sudden (I feel like it was between 1-2 years ago, but I can also barely remember what I had for lunch yesterday so don't quote me on that!), technical people started slamming companies for "allowing someone to access their data", I saw lots of headlines about how it was unethical for Facebook to allow users to share their information with other companies (don't get me wrong, facebook does plenty wrong, but to call out the ability to share info specifically seemed so wrong). Then APIs started shutting down, access is now only allowed for other big players, and it's getting harder and harder to integrate outside of a single player's walled garden.

I get why the companies are doing it (someone told them the only ethical thing was to lock users in!?), but I don't get why HN and other technical circles are applauding it. Maybe i'm on the wrong side of history here, but I just feel like it's never a bad thing to allow me to share my information if I want. I think it should be clearly defined what i'm sharing, I think it should be obvious that i'm sharing it, and I think that some auditing and controls are obviously a good thing, but not this almost absolute shutdown of any ability for me to export or use information from these services on my own.

But maybe I'm really in a bubble, and maybe users really shouldn't be given the choice to share their personal information, but it just feels so wrong and so "holier than thou" to make that choice for them.
One interesting idea but not likely workable, have an electric launch platform that simply has the actual passenger plane as its cargo and once sufficient speed is reached it drops off to circle back on its own for another go.

could work with either propulsion method of the plane being lifted.
