I think at a certain point society stops being about 'who produce these things and values', and instead turns into 'how do I find novel things for people to do'. a.k.a. service oriented economy.
A few years back, they did not offer the cloud solution and only offered that "controller" software. I haven't tried their cloud solution, but it's in my opinion not ideal to depend on a cloud solution to configure my internet access.
PyPy can't get you all the way there in many cases. Unlike Julia. The real problem with PyPy is Python's semantics. They preclude many essential optimizations to get those final few drops of performance.
Pre-PDP11, DEC had machines with 12, 18, and 36 bit words. Those are all multiples of 3, so octal was more natural. (For the 16-bit PDP11, the instruction format made octal natural.)
None and this is exactly the point. If it has anything much more than "on" and "off" then it's not going to be accepted.
I use ubiquiti stuff but I absolutely don't want to combine the functions of router and wifi. There is value in having the two things separated. I can make changes on the router without rebooting the APs, and vice versa. Or I can add additional APs hanging off the small managed Mikrotik switch that the router's LAN interface is connected to.

For up to about a 800 Mbps residential internet connection, the NAT and routing abilities of a $49 Edgerouter-X (model ER-X) are more than sufficient. If you have true symmetric gigabit service you'll probably be looking at one of the slightly larger edgerouter models. It runs an OS that is derived from Vyatta, you can ssh into it, it's a little embedded debian linux box inside.

The $79 Unifi AP AC Lite (802.11ac, dual band, 2x2 MIMO) is sufficient for my purposes. If I really wanted 3x3 and ac wave2 I suppose I could buy some $199 APs. But I really don't see the need just yet.

This thing looks like a slick consumer product which is designed to be more easy to use than the average HN reader needs. As competition for Google's home wifi gateway/router device, sure... I suppose it has its place.
"Culture is public. By arguing that it should be privately owned, you are effectively saying that poor people shouldn't be allowed to participate."

There are plenty of options, like going to your public library, that don't involve copyright infringement.

How are poor children able to download a movie illegally from the Internet, yet can't don't have any money to purchase it legally?

"Why are the greedy profit motivations of a giant multinational corporation more important to you than poor children's cultural participation? You aren't being a rational realist, you are just being selfish and classist."

You could say the same thing about anything: you are depriving a poor family a home if they can't move into yours without paying you, you greedy classist!

"Disney built their business on the back of the public domain. Every single great movie they made builds off the work of others."

Yet, the public domain movie wasn't nearly as popular nor do we even remember them. This means they added value. You also failed to mention all of the jobs Disney provides. Should all of these people be deprived a living (and possibly lose their homes?

"Can you name single great work of art created by Disney that isn't mostly derivative? Reflect on why you can't: they are monetizers of existing culture, not creators of originality."

Can you name the original works? If not, they probably weren't that good.
Yes! It's too bad none of this is really taught in schools, outside of the occasional "stock market club." It's foundational stuff and people should be educated on it.
If that's the case, can you describe how you ended up with customers?

Whenever I consider entrepreneurship as an option for myself, it is always the customer-facing sales part which leaves me feeling like I would struggle.
I don't disagree with you, but as someone who walks into a _lot_ of emergency scenes, it's really rare for there to be a hazard to worry about. Is it a thing you should consider? Sure. In reality it doesn't come up often enough to warrant "top billing" in a high level overview of how to do chest compressions.

Disregarding the amusement from the game you might get, why waste time when attempting to go through a door. The rest of the class might be annoyed at waiting while you decide who goes through the door first...
I was talking about internal temperature.

Cold climate results in low humidity. If you're mostly heating your home (as opposed to running aircon 24/7), air inside tends to be of lower humidity than outside. So low that it becomes uncomfortable and one has to use humidifiers.

The only place mold has any chance in those conditions are the leak spots on the fridge door seal.
They don't require a controller, though - I have a Unifi AP at home, it can be managed from an app on my phone, zero setup needed. But having a controller means being able to push configuration changes to multiple devices at once etc. (which I don't need in a small house, but would be handy in an office). I also have a Mikrotik router, which is not 'friendly' compared to consumer routers, but can certainly do a lot more.
Beating AlphaZero at Go, Chess, and Shogi, an mastering a suite of Atari video games that other AIs have failed to do efficiently. No explicit heads-up contests with a trained AlphaZero; but apparently hits an ELO threshold w/ fewer training cycles. Yowsa.
Unlikely.

But they have learned to be more careful with the welds going forward. Though, admittedly, they only used panel welding on the first prototype and have already switched it up for the second one.
Compared to the fuels that the vessel is designed to carry, water might as well be liquid lead. It would easily crush the structure before you got enough in there to do hydro testing.

Edit: correction, looks like they're using methane/LOX. Methane is 422g/L and LOX is 1141g/L (compared to water at 1000g/L). If it was the LOX tank then they could have probably hydro tested it. Not so much with the CH4 which is probably the upper tank? It also bears mentioning that they would want to test at the appropriate temperatures. Water isn't great for hydro testing at LOX/liquid CH4 temps.
honestly me reading credentials over phones would probably end up making this a positive roi investment within months. ymmv though.

And no, the credentials don’t warrant a ‘eavesdropping’ threat model, they barely matter at all.

This goes double in some situations.

When somebody has lost a loved one, never say "I know just how you feel, blah blah".

In fact, this is when you MUST say you can't imagine how they feel. Then listen.
The GDPR contains explicit exceptions for police and national security; see Recital 16, Article 23(1), etc.
Well, we know max pressure THAT PARTICULAR TANK could hold.

The image (which is basically the whole "article") even has a Budget Direct watermark on it.

Can seL4 reduce the cost of satellites?
Boeing expected to get a lot more defense work. Having headquarters in a major urban location gave it an additional 2 senators and a couple more reps in the house that could then champion those sales.

While final 737 assembly was done in Renton, the fuselages were made in Wichita. Which was also the site of a booming business in remanufacturing Boeing aircraft for both the civilian and military market. Making it out like there’s no good reason to have a more central HQ doesn’t ring true.

Finally, it’s not like Boeing didn’t have issues before the merger. They had to take a billion (with a ‘B’) charge on engineering issues with the 737NG tail section. A lot of heads rolled for that. I left before DCAC/MRM finished but I’d find it hard to believe that didn’t go over budget by a similar amount.
Such a waste of a good title. Should have been:

"An interview with Barbara Liskov. Accept no substitutes."
It feels like ubnt tries to capture the audience of what airport extreme used to be - mesh networks, self-contained device, minimal config, telemetry and services lock-in. The same for unifi dream machine pro.

They are almost explicit that these devices are not for tech entusiasts, who used to be their largest customer base.
> If Uber were running a profitable business, the rides would be as expensive or more so than taxis.

Might be off topic, but in downtown Chicago before/after work cabs (including tip) are often cheaper than Uber/Lyft (with no additional tip,) although they offer other conveniences (payment, tracking, can be "hailed" to anywhere, etc.) At less busy times ride sharing can still be a bit cheaper than a cab.
20 years, that's half the career of people. Those established before the downturn are either gone or about to (if not quit by disappointment already, or worse, assimilated), the rest knew only this or mostly this. Assuming Boeing only career. Externals may know different, but they are not Boeing.
Seems like Boeing is irrevocably lost, ruined.
Soda cans are actually incredibly strong for their weight.
> As high-performance code demands faster-and-faster systems, the more-and-more relaxed our systems will become. Acquire/release is quickly becoming the standard model.

Linux relies heavily on performant RCU for scalability, which a pure acquire/release SW programming model can't support.
It seems you have independently discovered the reasoning behind reparations, well done.
The point is that you can manage it remotely and they have exactly 0 buttons to push. They don’t have to manage anything at all.
Sigh. I have a NAS that saturates a single gigabit link pretty easily. If only they included at least one 10GbE (or even just 5GbE) port...
While remote work has become more common not much has changed since 2017. I've been working remote off and on since 2011 as have many of my friends.
An 8lb socket dropped 80 feet. That's going to put a heck of a dent in almost anything.
The intent is that you'll host their software somewhere on your network as a service, rather than running it from your laptop. They have cloud-based offerings or dedicated management hardware you can also use if you don't have a system to run UniFi on.

These are managed devices and you can't really approach them as you'd approach a traditional standalone AP or router.
Isn't this the nature vs nurture debate? It seems like this could just as easily be attributed to growing up in a good/happy family. Not to say that genes have no effect, I just think the environment you are raised in has a more significant effect.
Of course NSA would have this opinion. They depend on you believing it so they don't have to buy the newest D-wave or whatever.

If we adopted properly encrypted communications back in the 90's (when others were also trying to pretty much illegalize it), nobody would be complaining about speed today.

The problem is, everyone ignored encryption ("I've got nothing to hide!") and now that they're learning that they actually do need it, they're not willing to accept the drop in speed it would entail. Everything up to now has been sold based on how much faster it is. Security is still hindsight, and the perception of even slightly slower bandwidth infuriates people for no real reason besides.

NSA is up to its same old predictable game. They rely on public laziness and fixation on shiny new things.

Respectfully, if you are having technical difficulty installing or maintaining the Unifi controller software on something like a very basic LAMP stack debian or centos virtual machine, Unifi is not the product line for you. You should go with something like Meraki.
There's also a fantastic This American Life about the incident: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/634/human-error-in-volatile...
The comments about the Great Vowel Shift are correct, but I would also like to add that in English we already pronounce the Latin letter "P" /pi/, and it would hardly do to have the two pronounced the same way given the importance of ratio in math. So even if we wanted to adopt the Greek pronunciation, we probably wouldn't because of the confusion it would generate.

Super neat.

Love this idea! Students rarely have a meaningful opportunity to understand the scope of work they would do on the job until they do an internship. And depending on the uni/individual it could be the case you only intern at one company before locking in a graduate offer.

From a student perspective, I think it would be so valuable for students to do actual tasks to test for personal engagement, and also get recognised by the company for taking initiative to get to know them and the role.
I think your comment about the Olympics is very insightful and something I had not considered. It’s a shame they’re not a year sooner.
You don't want your rocket to be heavier than necessary. They're usually dead weight once in orbit. So yes, they're a bit like a soda can. Just as strong as necessary.
I don't think Atom was first with that idea, for example Brackets was in development before Atoms first release.
Made me chuckle. Your "just let them talk for 5 minutes", is another person's "wait until they're receptive to feedback." :)

I've never met a frustrated or angry person who is receptive to actual feedback. I'm the same way. Validate my emotional concern first, then move on to the next step.

Most of the time all I need to do is vocalize my problem... and that works best when I "have the floor."

If you don't mind me suggesting, that is really what was happening.
After 12 years of catholic school, I don't recall anything specifically, although I bet some would argue the commandment 'you shall not commit adultery' might cover that.

What I do know is there is a ton of stuff the bible recommends that Christians are happy to ignore. At least anecdotally in the Catholic community I grew up in in NE Philadelphia.

It's amazing how superstitious and brutal humans can be. It reminds me not to take a naturalist approach to everything. Even in war very few people would be this brutal now, we have moved beyond what we were and I hope we can do it again.
Wires can be reversed in most circumstances, especially in cases of fraud, although it's a bit painful and can take some time.
none. You'll look at it once, and then never again. It's not a good use of resources.
Still, this is targeting the average user, so it looks cool.
If we relax "never" to "not more than 60 days a year", that would be most of Canada, northern US, most of Europe and Russia. No idea what's going on in southern hemisphere, but I guess Argentina/Chile and southern Australia are the same.

This obsession with mold looks to me as an exclusively US thing. I have no first-hand data but I guess it's due to insufficient air flow combined with air conditioners pushing humidity all the way up.
You can select either Ubuntu LTS or POP!_OS when building a System76 computer.

I built one with PoPOS (however you spell it) about 6-8 months ago and absolutely love it. I've previously used Xubuntu, Linux Mint, and Fedora and PoP!OS had a lot of the things everyone installed already taken care of and the UI is useful, but minimalistic.
Exactly, you can get zapped by tens of thousands of volts from a van de Graf generator and be fine, and you can die from 110V mains. The difference is the importance of the supply.

ty for the effort! this is pretty much what has kept me developing chrome first.
Depends on what kind of test that was supposed to be.

If they pumped it until it explodes it would be a kind of test (also called experiment) where it makes sense.

If you design something with a margin of safety, then pump it to working pressure and it blows, then it means you made a mistake. If you made a mistake it shows you don't know what is necessary to design a rocket (yet).

Seriously, they don't build skyscrapers or bridges and leave for 5 days to see if they topple to prove the design was correct.
From the outside it appeared to be a bare framework that was never fully developed.

I didn't use it often but I checked on it periodically just to keep up on what was, hopefully, going to be a contender in the social media world. What I saw was almost no change in user facing functionality over the course of it's existence.

There also didn't seem to be any significant attempt at marketing, monetization or collaboration with the community.

Meanwhile there were significant influencers and content producers with large numbers of followers. The dream of any social media company.

I always assumed it folded because they couldn't agree on a path to monetization.

But from the perspective that they actually did care about it (which I read as they devoted significant resources to it even if that didn't translate to anything that was publicly visible)... It starts to sound more like a company that's hit the self hobbling critical mass of size and internal bureaucracy.

What did it look like from the inside?
This sounds like mania. Be careful.
That's the first time I've seen one of those weird "evolved" antennas in a consumer device. Scroll down the page to see it.

>You have simply contrived a poor design

I contrived a poor design that is a reflection of what can happen. There is no design theory making all designs perfect therefore many isomorphic mistakes in my design happen all the time uncontrived.

>Not only that, you are _constraining_ the solution space (no static methods and must be parameter-less).

I constrain it to prevent you from creating a function instead of a method. A function is outside of OOP a method is 100% OOP. a static class without state is equivalent to a namespace holding a bunch of functions. If I didn't constrain you you'd be proving my point by switching to using a regular function instead of OOP.

>There is nothing inherent in OOP that mandates a developer choose your design.

That is the problem. There is something inherent in functional programming that mandates the developer to never be able to make the previous design choice. If all your functions are stateless there is NO way you can even contrive the poor design I contrived earlier. That is the secret. Less expressivity is less ways to screw up. Imagine a programming language where the syntax only allows you to design your programs in the best possible way... Functional programming is closer to this goal than OOP.

>I can just as easily assert that `sort(people)` cannot be factored into `sort(comparable)`

It's better to factor something to be more general than to write 10 flavors of the same thing. How hard it is doesn't matter here, rewriting sort to solve this problem is better than OOP where you have to write another version. That is all I am arguing for.

>Contravariance cannot just be assumed.

The entire essence of my argument is that you discover this property in two random places, but you cannot apply a function in both places because the function is tied to another context.

>a new, more generic, `sort(comparable)`

And this is better than two specific flavors of sort. Let's scale this up to an app that's been around for 5 years.... in this case One generic sort is better than 20 different flavors of sort.

>The solutions are roughly equivalent in either paradigm: move the behavior into a more generic container.

But like I've been saying you can't just move the method in OOP you have to change the object hierarchy. If the method is to be used in another unrelated object hierarchy than the hierarchies have to be merged via multiple inheritance. All I want is the function, why am I bringing the whole object ancestral structure with it?

"I think the lack of reusability comes in object-oriented languages, not functional languages. Because the problem with object-oriented languages is they’ve got all this implicit environment that they carry around with them. You wanted a banana but what you got was a gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle."

-joe armstrong
I agree with the ideal of minimal regulation. However, everyone is forced to participate in and depend on the local economy. It absolutely must remain functional, stable, and reasonably tolerable to live and do business within.

The problem is that when a company controls a large enough chunk of a given market, their policies have the potential to cause serious harm. Regarding Apple, many of the counter arguments here seem to focus only on the consumer protection aspect of things. The more serious issue IMO is the business aspect - in the US, a company can't produce a viable mobile solution without targeting both Apple's and Google's app stores. For better or worse, these privately controlled app stores have become equivalent to essential public infrastructure from a business perspective.

Ego depletion is not just disappearing, it’s turning negative
If cache coherence is relevant to you, I strongly recommend the book “A Primer on Memory Consistency and Cache Coherence”. It’s much easier to understand the details of coherency from a broader perspective, than an incremental read-a-bunch-of-blogs perspective.

I found that book very readable, and it cleared up most misconceptions I had. It also teaches a universal vocabulary for discussing coherency/consistency, which is useful for conveying the nuances of the topic.

Cache coherence is not super relevant to most programmers though. Every language provides an abstraction on top of caches, and nearly every language uses the “data race free -> sequentially consistent”. Having an understanding of data races and sequential consistency is much more important than understanding caching: the compiler/runtime has more freedom to mess with your code than your CPU (unless you are on something like the DEC Alpha, which you probably aren't).

If you are writing an OS/Hypervisor/Compiler (or any other situation where you touch asm), cache coherence is a subject you probably need a solid grasp of.
Back in the early 80s (pre-Blockbuster) there were independent video stores. They were great, because you could "reserve" a video for a night and they would hold it for you, unlike Blockbuster where you had to hover like a vulture by the return counter.... Anyway, back on topic, one of these independent video stores I believe was the source of several pirated movies as well, including a copy of "ET" filmed in the theater which was awful quality.
It is not (Mainly because we have so many hard-coded API keys ATM)
