400 is a very generic error. It is often used to complain about problems with the request body.

Considering how brief the HTTP RFC is, your interpretation is I think as good as any, if very uncommon. (Not what Django, Rails, Flask, etc. do).

A long time ago I remember seeing those timeout parameters when I took Java class, and saying, "ehhh it's probably fine to leave it as null". Also the docs at the time seemed to agree that an infinite timeout was totally fine.

This entire comment is not applicable in the situation described, where there is a huge imbalance of power. The manager is not an equal to be “worked with” the same way fellow ICs are in the way you describe.

What the article describes is a case of nepotism, and expecting someone to “work with” that to a mutually beneficial end seems a bit naive.

I'm really curious as to why they don't make it, say, protected where the JVM wouldn't actually barf at runtime (or would it? I'm a bit too enmeshed in Scala bincompat at the moment), but where compiling from source would error out.

If I'm wrong: Why not invent a 'protection level' where this were a feasible thing... even if just to be able to remove old APIs and really force people to stop just adding @SuppressWarnings-deprecation all over the place. That's not a solution to anything.

Ever lived in a real city ? Walking 3 minutes to take the metro and take 5 minutes to get to your destination for something that'll take 15 minutes by car is common in cities like Paris ;-). And it prevents you from becoming fat from not doing anything.
To be fair, we were already micromanaged. Then Agile was posited as a solution, so of course we were enthusiastic. Unfortunately the only thing that appeared to change was the name.

> Passwords should be a thing that's integrated in your browser/computer experience... this is something that can and should be handled by computers.

I had this crazy idea, whereby computers could themselves come up with very long, random sequences of bits.

They would then use these openers (couldn't think of a better word) to authenticate to each other, secured by mathematical operations, in place of passwords.

Sadly, I've never seen it used on websites, so it must not be a good idea. /s
It's not actually true that everything anyone does online will be permanently archived. If it were, there would be no need for the Internet Archive.

The truth is, only the things someone has an interest in archiving will be archived, and only so long as someone has an interest in maintaining those archives. Just look at the recent announcement about Yahoo Groups... no one was, and likely no one is, going to permanently archive most of that. Sites, content and history get lost all the time.

No. In the US we only do that to scare people. In China the system actually works and people know that so they don't shoplift in these places. I imagine you would be arrested before you made it out of the mall.

Also, stores are REQUIRED to have cameras bought from the government's contractors just like how the government regulates the installation of fire extinguishers and other safety equipment in the US.

It's more like a toll booth going into large parking areas and there is a camera there. It takes a picture of your license plate and you and then the gate goes up.

In areas like schools, or anywhere where there are children, officers will stop you and take your picture and verify your identity to help keep the kids safe.
My impression was that there were two open positions, one for a lead and one for a manager. The team wanted to promote someone from within to be lead and look for a new manager because they didn't have a good candidate to promote from within. The company moved a new manager in from another part of the company and this manager brought in their choice for lead, displacing the person that was favored by the team.
Quite; their Harvard Negotiation Project was the incubator for this line of research and their book one of the outcomes. It’s strange not to see it cited.
I'm not sure what you would want from a standard. The basic idea is very simple, crawl the entire web starting from a few known points and visiting every single url you see on every page. Now you have an index of the internet you can run searches on.

The only problem is meaningfully ordering those results and having the computing power to do it. An open standard doesn't solve those.

> "The doctors group told the San Francisco delegation that while they loved the city, postconvention surveys showed their members were afraid to walk amid the open drug use, threatening behavior and mental illness that are common on the streets," the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

> "Last year, a UC Berkeley researcher found that some parts of San Francisco were "more unsanitary than many of the dwellings in impoverished, developing countries." A survey of 158 city blocks encountered more than 300 piles of feces and 100-plus improperly discarded needles.

It isn't some right wing conspiracy to make SF look bad, its SF doing it to itself. San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but the choices it has been making has led to its current reality.

If any city can take the loss of the revenue that is going away it is SF, but the reality is that this is an ongoing problem that is getting worse, rather than better, and heads sticking into sand doesn't help anything. Doing more of what hasn't worked isn't a viable solution and helps no one- not the homeless, not the residents, not the tourists. SF needs to live up to its values rather than snipe at imagined enemies- it has resources galore and full power of the law to propose and dispose policy- excuses are not viable.
If you have to take every problem to a VP or council of managers that means that you are ineffective and unable to sway anyone with your ideas.

I could put a Mac Mini on my desk with half a dozen adapters sticking out of it, but even then I still can't upgrade the RAM. The last Mac Mini with user-upgradeable RAM was 2012.

This is new territory for OSX-era Apple. It didn't used to be so expensive to buy an expandable Mac. You could get a PowerMac G5 for $1800, and a PowerMac G4 from $1500.
Maybe most agriculture will have to happen indoors? Chile, Spain and many other year-round producers do it in greenhouses / hoop tunnels. Vertical farming/airoponics and so on to help scale food production.

I think the bigger problem is if we kill the ocean through sea level rise, warming, deoxygenation and acidification, then we kill 3/4 of oxygen production (but we would still have 100k-400k years supply) and 2%+ of the food supply.
MCAS was required for certification, in that it increases the linearity of control forces through to a stall. Without it, it becomes easier to enter a stall.

MCAS was not a fix to make training lighter, the aircraft would not be able to get a type certificate without it.

The Internet Archive is a fantastic and important initiative and we should definitely support it.

But:

Let's also support the public service players in its space that often get forgotten or marginalised by it's well funded marketing.

I'm thinking particularly of the various national libraries that preserve content under incredibly tight budgetary, PR and legal constraints that the IA is relatively free of.

On IA-aware media like HN, there is a tendency to present it as the only preservation initiative out there, which is absolutely not the case.

> Wouldn't this just make password crackers easier? If there's a Regex of what passwords are okay, it lowers the search space.

In practice, this shouldn't make things easier for password crackers, because trying to crack a password by enumerating the password space is not a normal approach. (Except for rainbow tables.)

What you'd expect a password cracker to do is construct passwords according to a model of what kinds of passwords humans actually create (regardless of the formal password requirements), and guess those. You're not trying to make sure you've covered everything -- you're just trying to make high-probability guesses before you start making low-probability guesses.

My father and my uncle both had this surgery (therapy?) to treat prostate cancer, and not only has it been effective (low to no PSA after over a year), their recoveries and post-surgery experiences are significantly better than any of the individual's they talked to who had a traditional prostatectomy. Not to say they are _unaffected_, but their experiences have not been life changing as the experiences of others they know (eg. incontinence).

I'm so happy to see innovative and less invasive treatments for common diseases being approved.
> ...might be arguably less directly applicable to work.

Why is this a problem?

IC continuing education isn't (primarily) about having them finish reading the RFC even though they've already gleaned what they needed for their immediate problem. Rather, it's about drawing in whole new areas of knowledge. It's about keeping your deck stacked with wildcards so when you get blocked by something hard, not covered by your standard 'best-practices' you have enough diversity of experience to actually have a hope in hell of having something to draw upon for inspiration on how to solve it.
That’s how it’s been developed, continues, and planned. If it wasn’t, it wouldn’t be like this.

>Tesla currently is at around 260Wh/kg thus roughly ten times the amount of potential energy needed to get to 10.000m altitude.

That's the energy - assuming 100% efficient conversion of battery power to altitude - to lift _only_ the battery to altitude (and then immediately fall back down).

Actual engines are nowhere near that efficient and you'll presumably want to lift the rest of the airplane too. Then you have to keep using power to keep the plane aloft and land it safely.

Your hypothetical 2000Wh/kg future batteries still have a specific energy less than 1/5 that of aviation fuel (Jet A = 11950Wh / kg). A 15-seater electric with 1000km range based on those magic (7.5x better than state-of-the-art) batteries would instantly upgrade to a 5000km range if you tore out the batteries and replaced them with a gas tank of equal weight.

Batteries need a ~40x improvement in their specific energy density to make sense as an energy source for aircraft that depend on thrust for lift.

Tragically, physics doesn't care that battery powered planes would be cool.

With an idempotent API, starting a VM and doing something with it can look like this:

let new_id = generate_id();
retry_with_backoff(() => api.make_vm(new_id));
retry_with_backoff(() => api.do_thing_with_vm(new_id));

This works even if any individual API calls fail, or if the API call makes it to the API server but the response fails to make it to the client.

If the APIs aren't idempotent, then you would have to do this to get the same behavior:

let new_id = generate_id();
retry_with_backoff(() => {
try {
api.make_vm(new_id);
} catch (e) {
if (e.info && e.info.code === 'vm_already_exists') {
return;
}
throw e;
}
});
retry_with_backoff(() => {
try {
api.do_thing_with_vm(new_id);
} catch (e) {
if (e.info && e.info.code === 'thing_already_done') {
return;
}
throw e;
}
});

This nonidempotent API is harder to use. Someone that doesn't know about these error codes or the fact that the API isn't idempotent will write code without the try-catch blocks that doesn't handle retries correctly. With the idempotent API, users fall into the pit of success where things just work without them having to know the details about each of the edge cases.

The nonidempotent API is exposing some extra data to the user, but it's not super useful. You basically always want to treat the vm_already_exists error identically to a success response. Maybe you also want to log some data about how many retries were necessary so you can figure out how spotty the network connection is, but there's no reason that couldn't work with the idempotent API either. The idempotent API could include a header about whether the action was already taken previously.

Consider how TCP connections are used by applications. Your application doesn't have to opt in to handling packets that were resent. The fact that some packets had to be resent is by default just an implementation detail. You have to opt in to get information about the resent packets; by default they're handled like regular successful packets. Idempotent APIs are about making handling retries work by default in a very similar way.
>The Reddit of today is about posting the "funniest" screenshots from Twitter, things like blackpeopletwitter, whitepeopletwitter, murderedbywords and so on.

It's easy to say that Reddit has no discussions of merit when only using examples of subreddits which have no intent to have discussions of merit, and focus primarily on memes and light-hearted content. But it's purposely disingenuous to do so. That's usually what people seem to do.

But compare the quality of discussion between Hacker News and the programming subreddits from which stories are usually reposted, or the heavily moderated expert subs like /r/askahistorian, and see if HN really still stands head and shoulders above the rest in terms of quality. In my experience, with the minor exception that HN is allergic to any sort of humor, the experience is about the same.

CPU cores being hotplugged on & off was actually super common for a few years, and still is in a lot more devices than you'd expect.

It used to be a corner stone of power management on mobile devices. The Nexus 5, for example, would regularly run with just a single core online, hotplugging the other 3 off until hit with a load and then brought cores back online 1 by 1 as needed.

That behavior still is in some corners of the mobile world, but increasingly less so.

So the CPU hotplug path is as a result actually a lot more battle hardened than you'd expect, and a lot more consumer software than you'd think ran just fine in that setup without noticing.
