> Indeed, expats are lured here thinking Germany is the Promised Land

Hardly any German person would claim to (or even lure) expats that Germany is the Promised land. The only reason I can think of any expat thinking about Germany as the Promised Land is self-delusion.
Used to have. It's swiftly increasing and working poor has defenitely become a thing.

For branded keywords, it's not just shady, it's racketeering. You wouldn't want your competitor to show up first when someone searches for your brand, would you? Then pay up.

E.g. https://i.imgur.com/SfomkdQ.png; the second result is a competitor's ad, the third result is the organic result.
Beelzebub's Tales was intentionally boring for the first 50 pages in order to scare people off. Gurdjieff famously wanted only the first 50 pages pre-cut (this was during the period when new books would have their pages stuck together & the reader would use a book-knife to separate them) in order to encourage people who were turned off by the beginning to return it. He did a lot of stuff to try to weed out insufficiently dedicated people.
A New Year, a New Lending Chance
What a silly article. He mentions he ran a home FTP server on FreeBSD, switches it out for a Linux ftp server, because it needed a reboot every third day.

Meanwhile Walnut Creek cd-rom was setting bandwidth and uptime records with a P6-200 running FreeBSD as their ftp server
I know you're being cheeky and pedantic, but that's exactly the spin the title was trying to go for in order to get clicks. While not "technically" wrong, it's still pretty dishonest imo.
I'll go ahead and fire off a recommendation to find a muay thai gym that has dedicated conditioning classes and some cool people. I wish I would have discovered it 10 years earlier when I started running cross country.

Running, for me, was the Runescape of sports. Very grindy, with very little room for me to use my mind.
It's still better than the early 2000's, which is the last time I really needed "bookmarks."
> aboyt how much Apple cares about users

No company cares about anything. A company is not a person.

Apple, because of its privacy-marketing, is incentivized to be the privacy player in the market. But only so far as consumers keep them honest about it.

They got away with this loophole because it stayed under the radar; if it gets enough attention and enough customers show that it matters to them, it could change.

On the other hand, it's possible that because we have a smartphones duopoly, Apple only needs to maintain a position where people will say "well at least it's not as bad as Google". I'm upset about this personally, but I'm not ditching my iPhone. Of course, this does cement my decision to never pay for iCloud, for what that's worth (much less, but not nothing).
> it bakes in static analysis of code as a first class feature.

This is basically what all type checking does. It's not specific to Rust.
"At this rate, the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of the summer by 2012, much faster than previous predictions."

I'm not sure why you read this as a prediction. The article mentions how this statement was made in 2007, a year that saw "record melt all over the Arctic." This fact probably accounts for the "at this rate" qualifier used above. The phrase "nearly ice-free" is also not the same as "no ice."

==I am not saying climate change isn't happening but predictions like this are not useful.==

Maybe it is more about how you frame things in your mind. In this case, you inferred a prediction and used that to discredit the scientific data.
Time Complexity of Matrix Determinant
The other important aspect is that even if you have a static analyzer available, people might not be able to afford them (Coverity/klockwork/etc licenses) or even if they have it, there is nothing preventing them from skipping the analysis (just for this one time, I promise). (Another trick is to run the static analyizer, and not fixing the issues found...)

With Rust the compiler is already providing a lots of analysis, and you can't easily skip it. And if you do by using unsafe{}, it shows. So basically, even if your dependencies are provided by the worst team in the world, you know that the guarantees enforced by the Rust compiler are in the code. (To be fair, it does not mean that the SW will do anything useful, but it won't likely segfault)
I wanted to start a blog but find it really difficult to commit to a long, complete and thorough topic. So I'll probably start with an easier format of 30-45 minutes writing of the most interesting stuff I learn each day. Let me know what you think! Thanks.
I'm not claiming that anything absolves Boeing, and I can't see how any of my words can be interpreted in that way. I encourage you to read what I'm actually writing rather than imagine what I'm thinking.

There are serious issues to be resolved by Boeing and the FAA. There are issues to be resolved around airline company culture. There are issues to be resolved around pilot training and other human factors.

This "entirely Boeing's fault" stuff just encourages a blinkered view of the situation and is exactly the absolutism I was referring to in my grandparent post.

This absolutism is encouraged by the media (just look at that BBC headline: "Battle over blame") and is thankfully absent from the actual investigative work.

While I have no idea why hot air from a congressman is relevant here, the first quote from Graves is accurate. Pilot error was identified as a factor in the preliminary report, and every subsequent report has also identified it as a factor. Obviously there are far more important factors, but it's still a factor, and every factor should be considered and possibly acted upon. As I mentioned in a grandparent comment, the multi-factor approach to accident investigation is one of the reasons air travel is so safe today.

The second quote is pretty much impossible for him to back up and should probably be treated as the usual political noise -- he is, after all, a congressman.
The discovery of the CMBR did not lead to the theory of the Big Bang. But astronomy in general certainly did, for sure.

That doesn't really answer my question though, but that's probably my fault for using a word as subjective as "useful", so let me rephrase:

How has astronomical knowledge of the CMBR/Big Bang/Black Holes/Pulsars/Galaxies/etc. fundamentally improved the human condition? What specifically have we been able to do (not "know") that we would not have been able to do without terrestrial astronomy?
I'd assume this is only temporary. How many orders for the Max do they still have unfulfilled? That'd be a significant loss if they intended to not fill them sometime in the future.

Edit: It says in the article

> The assembly line in Renton, Washington, has stopped building Boeing's bestselling plane, the company confirmed late Monday. Boeing announced plans to temporarily halt production for an undetermined period in December, but it had not previously announced a precise day for the shutdown.
California, Texas, New York, unless Delaware is taken into account.

I guess it depends on the user. I can't really put myself in the mindset of someone else, but I am pretty sure I would never accidentally click an ad and not realize it. Maybe others who don't pay attention to this kind of thing might be affected though.

don't see why ppl are surprised about this from an ad company. its not a search engine company and never as been, despite having a large search engine...
Many other euro companies export based on quality. I know this at least in Spain.

In Spain many companies just export with generic names, as it's believed that people associates spanish products with low quality, and this has been apparently confirmed with by Real Instituto Elcano surveys.

I did a reddit thread about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEurope/comments/ejgwy7/apparentl...

This also happened with specialized and niche products, where you'd expect your customers, specially b2b, to be more rational in their decisions.
The Aldi is "third world"? What on earth?

I personally shop in Lidl, not Aldi, but Lidl is often compared to Aldi, about as popular and occupies the same price segment. And I eat like a king from there! Excellent protected origin cheeses, meats, wines, organic products... Half the time I leave the Lidl I go with a shopping cart that would make an American foodie drool. My most recent purchase there included Manchego cheese from Spain (fantastic stuff!), French wine, Kalamata olives, Belgian beer, Belgian chocolate...

The Americans I've taken to the Lidl have all been impressed; they certainly did not say anything to the effect of it being 3rd world. Canadian supermarkets, on the other hand, I remember as having shockingly high prices (even after converting prices from Canadian peso) and far fewer fresh items than I was used to.

Furthermore, people with "regular jobs" in Germany generally live much richer lives than their American counterparts. Fancy/organic foods are far lower priced in Europe, 30€ with a low-cost airline will take you everywhere from the south of France to Spain or Italy, museums, music and events are cheaper, top universities are in reach for your children... And yes (gasp!) in many places you don't even need a car! I commute around 240km a day by train + a few minutes' bike :)
This article asks the question, then seemingly goes on three different tangents unrelated to lifelong learning.

Further, implicit in this discussion is that the worker will continue to learn in the employer's interest without being paid. I can be a lifelong learner of music composition, but I don't think my employer cares about that. They're looking for my lifelong pursuit to increased productivity for their benefit.

(Ironically, that increased productivity makes a lot more sense if I am not selling my labor but rather am building capital for myself.)

That said, employers can encourage lifelong learning by paying for it in wages and time allotted during the workday.
Many (most?) proper ones use a combination of a coarse washable pre-filter, charcoal, HEPA, and ionizer.

>there's no good and easy option to backup your phone other than iCloud.

Turn off iCloud and do local encrypted backups to your PC or Mac.

This works over your wifi network (if you prefer wireless charging at home) or via a cable connection.
Two things:

1) There is no way Apple would be allowed to sell iPhones in China, without China government having access to anything. So, I assume that Apple users in China have e2e encrypted exactly nothing.

2) I have a strong suspicion that those 'enter your Apple ID password because your account needs it' message really means 'a government has requested your data and even though it's encrypted, we will nag you about entering a password, and if you give it, you're a free game'.

I don't blame Apple for this, I'm sure they're doing what they can, but when a government says 'give us this data', they can't not comply. Vote responsibly - companies can't protect us from a government we have put into power.
Also, ownership checking only seems to work well for tree-like datastructures, but implementing something with cycles (back-pointers) immediately leads to nasty problems.
You could try dumping your dataframes to an in-memory SQLite instance using the to_sql method and then running queries on that. Not sure how performant the to_sql bit would be, but I'd expect joins in SQLite to be blazing fast compared to Panda's joins.

Does an Alernative to seclists Exist?
Full Disclosure on seclists (https://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/) used to be a nice source of information for some vulnerabilities that could potentially exist within our network. As such, I haven't really seen much from FD over the past couple years and activity has really slowed down for some reason.

Does anyone know of any decent alternatives? Maybe a Twitter handle I can scope out? Something short and concise like FD was what drew us in in the first place, and the information was very useful.
I'm not at one of the FAANG but the largest company I've ever worked at. The tech stack is surprisingly uniform and I miss engineering diversity you get exposed to at smaller companies. Don't miss the infrastructure/internal-ops chores though.
OP: Do you think https://www.instructables.com/ would have been a better place for this than Github.com ?

Great effort!
Well, it is more expensive to have more than one. New fly by wire aircraft usually have 3 separate systems (sensors, computers and so on) voting to know which part fails and continue on working, or if everything fails do it to a safe-state. The protections are gone but you can fly the plane with direct inputs.

Compare this to the ancient 737 where instead of the airplane detecting errors the pilots are supposed to do it by cross checking two flight computers. Thus we see now after the crashes Boeing forced to implement cross checking in a system not designed for it because things reliant on a single sensor has ended up being classified as safety critical.

More Data on the Midlife Crisis
That meme should have been diminished earlier. People should understand while Google saves much data within itself, Apple shares it with advertising partners.

By the way, People have come to hate Google all the way for some advertising and easily switch-able data collection. But one should at same time hesitate to vote to apple with their wallets, they are a monster company which patents rounded corners of phones and things like optional chaining in Swift. That just goes unnoticed in circles like HN. IMO apple has always been more evil than Google.
Startup Validation for Hackers
This episode of history should be part of every discussion about "intellectual property", since it's an obvious counterexample to the prevailing "nobody will create anything new without a life+75 years monopoly" narrative. But it's not. Why not?

I can think of a couple of reasons. First, "intellectual property" really isn't about getting creation of new ideas paid for. It's about gatekeeping and control, part of freezing or fixin society as it stands today, with current winners continuing to win, and current losers continuing to lose. That's consistent with low social mobility, low real wage increases, low physical mobility, dragnet surveillance.
Second, "intellectual property" isn't about increasing the public domain (eventually) it's a method for making it illegal to not pay certain influential corporations money.
I admit it's weird seeing a sudden change to how search results are displayed, but I think the use of favicons help draw your eye to brands you trust so I don't mind it.

If this helps ads mix in with real search results, maybe the ads need to be changed to stand out more? I feel people are focusing on "favicons = bad" instead of "ads looking the same as search results = bad".
This isn't the case as I've never had a medium account and it still blocked me.
Not only this, but your iMessage E2E is protected in flight by a key that gets stored in your backup. So anyone recording your iMessages can retroactively decrypt them if they get your backup.
I do think that Google has done a lot of work to objectively add value to the results page of most search queries (eg pulling data straight from websites like Wikipedia, giving better page previews, etc).

However they are an ad company - and they ultimately benefit from blurring the line between an advertisement and a "real" result. I do feel like it is harder to find certain types of results as a "power user" though, and it feels like the quality of results rapidly drops off after the first page. I am not sure if the fault lies with Google or with spammy websites hacking the SEO.

I wish Google had something like duckduckgo.com/lite (also ddg.gg/lite) for the atypical "power user." It's nothing but text results. I find it really useful for certain types of searches and when you don't want to be bothered by how "busy" the Google search results page has become.
I work in the embedded space, but the majority of my work is writing simuators, mathematical models and tests. One of the hidden benefits for us was that rust is suitable for both resource-constrained embedded code (we use a lot of C for this) and high-level desktop and cloud based infrastructure/sim/test code, which we would never consider writing in C. Serde is amazing, crates.io has so much good stuff on it, C interop is a breeze. We still use Python/matlab for exploratory and data-sciency work, but as soon as something lives for more than about 6 months, it usually gets re-written in rust.
A while back someone on here posted a reply to a similar question for me - and it was one of those 'road to Damascus' moments for me.

The poster pointed out that we should not have to bookmark - that why do our own browsers not simply record every site we visits (and even cache the text for alter searching).

Its technically trivial. But we all have this blind spot - that it is perfectly reasonable for massive corporations to collect where we visit, but no-one, even in free browsers, thinks to record it for our own use later on.

I wish I could show you the link. But i cannot search my history and i did not bookmark it. :-(

Ask HN: Apple MacBook power failure. No way to recover SSD data?
My 2015 MacBook failed to turn on Sunday evening and the data recovery diagnostics company gave me the bad news yesterday afternoon: because everything is integrated onto the encrypted logic board, there is no way to recover the data during a power failure. This is due to Apple’s proprietary tech.

I find this hard to believe that the data can’t be retrieved (and I have some important research I did not have time to back up over the weekend to recover). Is there absolutely no way to recover this data during a mobo failure?

I really appreciate the response (especially from any Apple engineers out there :))
OK, I will bite. If I had to come up with a case where Python is better than Rust, I would say with rapid prototyping and scientific computing. If you just want to try a few things out, python has faster development cycle and if you want to do some super clever math python has better library support. With a bit more mind stretching, I can make a case for Go with a bit more mind stretching. If you want to write a massively parallel network server of some sort you might be better off with Go, especially if you want to use protobufs and grpc. But what would be the case for Node and Java?
Dancing itself isn't illegal, just doing it publically, on those days. It's rarely enforced, many places have exceptions that it's allowed unless the local church mess is disturbed due to noises.

After looking at a few alternatives (Borg, Duplicacy etc.), I setup Arq on my Mac yesterday.

One thing that irks me about these solutions is that they seem to scan my folders each time they want to backup. Are there tools that are smarter about this? For e.g., while running, they could keep a log of what's changing and only scan those while backing up.

People like to believe that the biggest problem they have with their code is memory safety, a problem Rust puts a significant effort into solving. At this point, most uses of Rust are also entirely academic, which appeals to HNs because they prefer theory to reality because reality is messy.
A few years ago I did a very thorough analysis of every dose-based electronic prescribing system suitable for secondary care available in the UK market (and several which were not officially). They fell into three categories:

- Home-grown systems which were fit for purpose but not operable or available outside the organisation for which they were designed. The Birmingham (UK) University Hospitals system [1] is a great example of these.

- "Enterprise" (pejorative) systems which generally came from the US and focused almost entirely on billing capture, and had almost no thought put into clinicians workflow. This encompassed Epic, Cerner Millenium and so forth.

- "New" systems which were UX first, but were often little more than front-end mockups. A good example was "Alert", a Portuguese system written in Flash which had almost nothing in the way of basic medicine management safeguards, and the team demonstrated zero aptitude for the ability to build them.

In the end the hospital in question used paper-based prescribing.
