So we are using extremely carefully selected individual examples now to come up with policies for everyone? Right then.

And no, just because something works to "save (or extend) one life" does not mean it should be tried for everybody, because "hope". If you read the article - which says nothing surprising anyway - you balance your very few successes with lots and lots of bad cases. For some few to live longer a lot of people have to suffer more.

Completely orthogonal, but since the path this thread took shows people care a lot (too much) about individual examples, I saw this more than once in my own family. My 94 year old grandmother broke here hip, surgery was ruled too dangerous, so she was driven back to her retirement home - where she only spent her last year, when care became too difficult at home - and spent the rest of her days just lying in her bad waiting to die. There was no good option left. That's just how it is near the end. I'm just saying this to show that I'm not talking about something that I only know from discussions such as this one.

Also, both my grandmothers (who both made it into their nineties) had surgery in their 80s and both suffered significantly. Their brains were not the same afterwards. Anesthesia is not easy on the brain, even on top of any stress of the surgery itself on the body. There was a significant difference in mental abilities in both my grandmothers when comparing how they were before and after their surgeries (both had them for broken bones that occurred due to age related osteoporosis). And they both had pretty good starting points, others are much more frail at those ages.
Source? Every result on Google for 'alcohol rem sleep' says it suppresses it during the initial phase of sleep, while the alcohol is still in your system. There is a "rebound effect" later in the night, after the alcohol has been metabolised, but spending the second half of the night in a lighter phase of sleep is not good either.

Basically, alcohol is uncontroversially terrible for sleep quality.
In my experience it’s a lot easier to have a difficult conversation than to fire someone.
>Try looking into SQL functions & TRIGGERs, LATERAL JOINs, ROLLUP & CUBE.

If you're a developer, I would look into CONSTRAINTS way before getting to anything like this. Learning how to model your constraints correctly in the database (preventing duplicates, etc) is one of the most important bits of schema design because it will save you tons of code and likely a bunch of race conditions.
Cross-compilation has been a nightmare since the beginning.
Problem is that the leadership at Google/Apple has to publicly agree with western values. If they really believe in them or not I don't know. To some degree there is an incentive to respect e.g. human rights.

The leadership at Huawei has to be very careful if they want to state agreement or acceptance of western values. That might even put them into prison. If they dare to act on western values in their own country they might be killed.

I personally prefer the company which at least has to act as if they value my humanity than the one which outright would strip it from me anytime as there is no incentive at all to consider it.
> some implementation even needs LLVM to perform optimizations. I'd say if this is the case, we must've chosen the wrong model.

Why? Optimizing machine-independent code for a particular machine is part of the "core business" of LLVM, up to the point where a sufficiently capable bytecode/optimizer becomes comparable to LLVM.

OTOH, if the main argument here is the size/speed/other weight of LLVM, then of course the host machine that wants to run WASM only needs a tiny subet of LLVM: no frontend, single backend, only a subset of optimization passes... There is also a tradeoff to make to leave optimization passes out that actually improve the code a bit but are too heavy for the host machine.
I don't think it was literal images/pictures, but the philosophical idea that an image represents (but is itself not) another [authentic] thing.

Edit: An example:
You make a post on Facebook simply about your $HOBBY. I hit the "Like" button. Do I actually, authentically like that Hobby, or you talking about it, or both? Am I just pressing it out of a social obligation? I instead could have reached out and called or texted and had a conversation about your $HOBBY. And you could have then judged to what degree my interest and "liking" of your $HOBBY was authentic, and how that reflects my interests, or how I am trying to branch out and am taking a genuine interest in you-the-person. But in lieu of a real conversation, I hit a "Like" button and let the image of an authentic feeling of "liked-ness" travel to you, instead of taking the effort of conveying the actual feeling of "I like you" to you.

This is the core problem with social media.
The 1990s of those initial failures also predated the information heavy internet hyper analysis and outrage machines
No, I would not call it a shame, and I think that no-one should either. In fact, what DDG does is admirable IMHO.

First, they do not hide that they aggregate. It's fanboys that tend to overextend DDG's capabilities, not them (at least for best of my knowledge).

And second, given the resources they have, they are doing more than enough, and they do provide a great service. It might not solve the underlying problem of privacy, but at least it helps protecting the privacy of those people using it.

To sum up, I do not think it's fair to bash DDG for aggregating.
Termux does not support old versions of Android, which I don't understand, because at the end, it's about sending an armv7 binary in the processor.
I think it was a typo, later in the article they mention this service had more content than Netflix, Hulu etc. I share your scepticism that two individuals could build a streaming service catering to >160m customers.
The author purposely misleads the reader by doing syntax highlighting wrong. A trigraph-aware editor would keep the third line green.
I seem to remember there is also a strong association between the more deadly forms of prostate cancer and STD's.
OK, imprecision on my side, under "any classic painting" (note "classic", not "classical") I really meant just "a painting" in a usual sense of it, not some post-modern "thing" or performance or whatever... however for my point it really doesn't matter who painted it, let's presume it was my grandma, who just finished watching some Bob Ross videos on youtube, popped down to the general store to buy some paints and brushes, and painted some still life for her own pleasure. It's still 100% her original work, not paint manufacturer's, nor Bob Ross's.

Derivative work is well, derivative, and it's regulated by the law, whether it's a translation or sampling of music or video compilation. Depending on the country/state the definition by law differs, but generally you're allowed to use only small portions of other people's work and there's a requirement to create something that is significantly different to the work used, so that it can be considered as an original piece. So re-uploading is very fringe activity in the eyes of the copyright law.
Yes, sharing anything about my relationship with my parents would cause a certain amount of pain. I wouldn't feel like going through that for just anyone who decides to ask about it.
But doesn't this project fix that problem? If you package your locally-built binary into an APK and install it, then the binary did come from the original APK.

Every instance of problem solving I encounter involves conscious intentionality. As an analogy, when I get a drink from the fridge, there is a lot going on in my body to make that happen that I do not consciously control. But, overall it is taking place due to my conscious intentional control. I argue the same is going on in the mind, a lot of subconscious things going on that I do not directly control, but the overall effect is directed by my conscious control.
It will always be possible to run outside code in a sandboxed VM, since this is needed for JIT in web browsers and the like. So as soon as the WASM w/ WASI interface becomes good enough to run interesting development apps, Termux will be able to use that. Running a whole-system VM ala QEMU based on, e.g. RISC-V code (easier to interpret or emulate than other archs and becoming supported by many Linux distributions now) is another feasible approach.
Right, as with the Cybertruck, as far as we know publicly: https://insideevs.com/news/387847/tesla-cybertruck-sideview-...

The US and some other jurisdictions don't allow these cameras as an alternative, which was my point.
Really great site.

How did you get the first 100 to 1000 users/visits?
I use it to display and mute alarms on production env.
I think some Electron games actually used this 'feature' as a percussion sound effect...
Well now that makes a bit more sense.
Fun game. The query engine seemed to die on me if I gave it certain syntactically wrong queries though and only a refresh of the page would solve it.
Not sure about how least efficient though, indirectly it will help a lot I believe.
I really like the theme on your blog and the syntax highlighting. I also write on containers/Kubernetes and Go at blog.alexellis.io. I'm using Ghost 2 with the original theme back-ported.
The DOJ presser said the site was "larger" than Netflix, Hulu and Amazon combined in terms of available content - some media reports have misreported it as larger by subscriber count
How do you move it around if you can't use a pipette?

Or if you say "well, you can't", do you know how the manufacturer gets it in the bottle?
I work on a lot of repositories, having a GUI makes it really easy to change context and getting up-to-speed quickly.
The biggest mistake of my adult life, in my opinion, is that I didn’t buy a good keyboard sooner. I Kinesis Advantage2 now (with a foot pedal for shift), but I almost bought one ten years earlier, but didn’t because of the cost. I really wish I had.

Most of us here on HN spend so much of our lives typing that we really should invest in good tools, especially for comfort. I rely on my hands so much that I feel like spending $300 to protect them from RSI and to improve typing comfort and accuracy is a no brainier. I think anybody who types a lot should get an ergonomic split keyboard with mechanical switches (and learn to not bottom the keys out). Your hands will thank you. A once off cost of $300ish is really not that much compared to discomfort or injury.
I've done some of these, and of course I've been at the other side too.

1. If you need to understand whether or not they can program, unfortunately you really do need to make them write some code. But don't look at the completeness of the answer. Look at how they're thinking. Get a feel for their understanding of the language. Do they simply know the basics and nothing more? Do they understand how the garbage collector works (if any). These are all means to understand how much he knows, and what his compensation may be.

2. All the good interviews I've had (on both ends) have been simply asking an open ended question about their resume. Ideally something I know about too and let them talk about it. Let them speak until they're done speaking (if they take too long, interrupt them) and then eventually ask them more about it. Drill into his understanding. Don't attack him for it anything, just make him expand more and more. You'll get a good feel of the depth and breadth of their knowledge. The ones who lie on their CV usually ramble, and they become defensive.

3. This unfortunately I've never figured out myself. I've historically let others decide, so I have nothing to say about this.
On AF447 all three of the airspeed probes iced up for 40 seconds, prompting the flight computers to disconnect autopilot and autothrottle and clearly announce to the crew that air data was unreliable and that the normal protection against stalling was suspended. The pilots immediately understood the problem, however for various reasons made a series of bad decisions which resulted in the crash. Tragically there was no need for the pilots to take any urgent action - by design the plane continued in stable flight when the air data was lost.

On the 737MAX crashes the single angle of attack indicator being used as input to the MCAS malfunctioned and in response the system set about repeatedly forcing the plane into a dive with no clear indication of why this was happening. Compounding this was the utter lack of training on the MCAS system, which wasn't even mentioned in the pilot manual or IPad-based training that was also used by US airlines.

There's a world of difference between these accidents.
>> since electric transmission is largely a solved problem

Really? I thought it requires a large investment that has a big impact on the environment which is an external cost to energy production and usually people do not care about it. Unless we are able to produce mass amounts of superconductive materials and deploy this solution to replace traditional infrastructure we have a wasteful way of transporting energy.

So we're getting mainframe-like tech into the mainstream? Isn't it good?
Article should be replaced with this one[1], which is much more informative.

Most notably, the headline of the linked article is ridiculously incorrect. The statement of facts states that they only processed 0.018M credit/debit card transactions over roughly the 2014-2016 period[2]. I would be extremely surprised if it reached Netflix's 152M of worldwide paid memberships for streaming in 2019[3][4].

Their Open Source support model is fantastic, we have been running on PyCharm Professional for half a decade thanks to it!
Services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video would be a lot more successful if only their catalogs in regions outside of the US would be comparable to their home turf.

If US clients would have the tiny tiny catalogs they offer e.g. in most of Europe, you would also be scratching your head how this could ever justify the subscription cost.
Knowledge is power and knowing more deeply about what your database is capable of is very helpful. It's worth knowing every tool in your tool chest!

That said, be careful with going too overboard with one specific tool (SQL). You may find yourself using a hammer for everything, when another tool may be more appropriate.

More specifically, it's easy to abuse advanced SQL constructs to create a mess for yourself. Too much business logic in the database is something I've seen become a nightmare for other programmers looking at software later. :)

This post[0] goes a bit into more detail about explaining where you should keep your "business logic" when choosing to put it in code or into SQL.

Thanks, that makes sense. The HN title should probably be corrected then, at mods' convenience.
Are you serious? Maybe you missed the entire privacy conversation around cloud storage in the last couple of years. Also, with your reasoning, your entire laptop should merely be a client for a remote storage.

Saving stuff locally is good for privacy, for performance, for offline-capabilities. You can back up your entire phone LOCALLY, to have a solution of your stated problems (theft, physical damage).
Well, TFA says:

> "Specifically, Polo used sophisticated computer programming to [get pirated stuff] and then make the shows and movies available on servers in Canada," officials said.

So the fact that they were in the US is irrelevant.

But I'm sure that they got caught because they didn't know how to stay anonymous. Or were too lazy. Or got too greedy.

I mean, there are far better hosting alternatives than Canada. I guess that they wanted low latency for US customers. But still, they should have isolated themselves from the damn servers.

I'm guessing that it was their payment setup that got them pwned.
This is exactly why this is pretty bad for companies operating these flights. The alternatives are often within reach of the customers.
Exactly, it is a different category with usually different people in it. And likely different people watching this category than the ones watching games.
I think the author should do some trimming on this piece. With a little more concise points and a healthier length this piece could be a bombshell. It certainly describes the feelings I‘ve had for a while now very closely. As a European and an Austrian especially the point about our leaders being idiots for copying neo-liberal policy-making rings very true.
Cloud agnostic in terms of using the best products from each service: sure. It makes sense to leverage the strengths of each cloud provider.

Having all your infra written with shim layers to move it freely between providers sounds like the scale you need to start thinking about hosting your own "cloud provider" or stop using public cloud.
I don't think I took a stance against anything. I think I asked a couple of questions.

I had a longer comment prepared, but as you say, responding to accusations tends to get boring.

If you want to have a conversation about this, though, it would be nice.
There really is no such thing as a minor operation. And anything requiring general anesthesia is a serious whack to the system. When you're older this is a much larger factor than when you are younger. Just breaking a hip, arm or leg, a fall or a minor infection can easily be fatal to an older person because of the reduced efficiency of the immune system, and their general lack of resilience.
The second option seems more likely.
The more concerning thing is how Google is starting to use its power when it isn't happy with something.
Google doesn't even seem to care about appearing "friendly" or harmless as it used to do. It's now acting like a king without a rival.. when it can.
Good point, thanks! This will be fun to do.
Yes, same for me. Also a bad assumption I made: People probably have enough storage space. The number of people running around with older devices that have 16 GB of internal storage is still like 5% or so. Add 32 GB devices, probably 10%. And most of them are constantly full.

Btw. the same is true of older iOS devices. They are constantly almost out of space and there is not enough free space to update to the most recent iOS version. It'd probably work with iTunes, but many people don't install iTunes. So they're stuck with iOS 10, although their device would still be capable of running iOS 13, simply because they don't have enough free space.
This advice is, in my experience, a low quality action item. I saw incredible progress in my life when I modeled the interactions. You can model interactions as information exchange, etc. and you can also model out the increased value of maintaining repeated interactions. It’s just another way of learning a skill: good human interactions.

Be yourself / don’t model / etc. works for those who are able to take this analogy to children learning language (in a natural way) vs. learning language by studying grammar and vocabulary systematically. The former is desirable because it’s speedy, you grow the skills you use most (so it reinforces the right things) but sometimes it’s just not available. That can happen just because you suck at it.

There are very limited ways other people’s lives are better than mine (as an existence proof) and I used to model interactions. I stopped when my skill reached unconscious competence.

People break their bones faster when they are older due to calcium deficiency. So that's a symptom but not of what you are thinking.
That would be an immediate deal breaker for me. There would be no discussion about it. Judge me on my output, but I decide how I work.
"not designed for that use case" != "isn't used for that use case in practice"

Apple has tight control over the bitcode version and the target platforms supported by Xcode. That's not the same thing as accepting arbitrary LLVM bitcode files.
But healthy people do trip. The reason why they don't break anything is because their bones are still fully dense, something that older people usually have issues with unless they took very good care to avoid it. That's not on most people's radar until it is too late.
Netflix and Steam don't have a lot in common outside of being a platform for their respective media

Netflix and Stadia (or something like Xbox game pass) are more comparable in my opinion
Wasm programs can only crash by triggering a "trap", which has the well defined semantic of aborting the entire (wasm) function stack at that point. It depends on the embedding host how much backtrace or debugging support you get for this.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean with non-JIT platforms, As far as I know, most wasm hosts that generate native code just compile the entire wasm module at once, so its less like a JIT runtime and more like a regular compiler.

If you mean not compiling to native code at all, then you just have the performance of a plain old stack machine bytecode interpreter. Not sure how many there are currently and how well optimized they are though.

About big-endian - afaik little-endian is just the spec for storing to wasm's linear memory - the actual representation of stack values can be arbitrary (since you can not inspect their bytes directly).
China has recently produced some competing planes and has more of an authoritarian hold on the industry. About 20% of the Max stock was across a few of Chinese airlines which wasn’t a huge number.

The last one also happened in SEA and had some initial duelling finger pointing so it worked well as a PR gambit to be the first to block it.

Especially in the middle of a trade war involving product quality issues and Boeing is the closest thing to a US state run aircraft manufacturer. It’s always been a beacon of American protectionism well before the recent administration.

So basically there was a ton of political will potentially involved here.
I find their UI pretty good and at least they work consistently, I was sometimes pirating shows I had access for free on Amazon prime due to DRM issues, a good example it's not only about pricing.

Yeah it is a roll of the dice.

Recently purchased an older zenbook this way and it has clearly seen some use (and battery was dead). Still happy though since the similarly priced netbooks I was looking at were garbage spec'd.
most people would

You're wrong. There are many factors in play (family, friends, isolation, stress, money, pain, etc) around the individual's choice, but studies often find that the majority of older people would prefer a palliative approach to end of life. For example https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4821585/ Sadly there aren't many studies around this topic. It's important, especially when so many people assume that older people just want to 'not die' rather than listen to what they actually want.
“Energy saving” does not mean “cool, then we won’t use/consume that saved energy anymore”, it means “cool, now there’s more stuff for us to do/build with the same energy as before”. And more stuff to do/build means more pressure on the environment.
happy user. I LOVE Lua, and would happily use anything in lua.
