It looks like it's actually required by law.

I've explicitly dialed 112 (when I actually had a reason to call 911) just to see if it worked. It worked perfectly fine.
All of that having been said...

If you're talking about Rust, I can't comment directly because I haven't used Rust, but I've totally used Go's panic / recover to implement "return" and "break loop" in a language interpreter.

I should really rewrite that thing to do something more sane like bundle up a continuation state to return to, but I was feeling lazy. ;)
> Oracle

Another perfect example, along with SAP.

In the 1990s and 2000s, Oracle and SAP used to win on the basis of their "fully integrated suite of business applications" that they contrasted with the "best of breed" approach that (they claimed) would cost more to integrate than they delivered in additional value. However, over the last 10 years, Oracle and SAP went on a buying spree scooping up all those best of breed enterprise applications and then failed to integrate them with their core offerings, creating the same problem they claimed to be addressing. At the same time, R&D spend on organic product innovation slumped.

Buying up the competition isn't the panacea many tech companies seem to think it is.
The policy person at head quarters said, "systems must encrypt sensitive data". The local security office classified passwords as 'sensitive data' and sent a memo to all staff (sensitive data must be encrypted at rest). The devs encrypted the passwords. The auditors 'checked the box' as the passwords were now encrypted. Everyone moved on and forgot about it. At the time, a few people complained about the details... something about one way hashes. But they complain about everything, so no one listened to them.
No, there's no debate in science this reality. You are just anti-science.
Two long time friends walk down the street. Sees one something shiny and picks it up. “A gold coin!”. At exactly the same time a bird poops on the second’s head. They are upset. They blame their friend. “If you hadn’t stopped the poop would have missed me”. “Further more”, they say, ”here is the full list of all the bad decisions I made through life and anyone and anything that has ever wronged me and brought me to the shity situation I’m in”. “You included”. “No”, says the first, “Our situation couldn’t have been better”. “Further more here is a list of all the smart decisions I have made and anyone and anything that have supported and elevated me to where I am to day“. Then they looks at their poop covered friend and say ”I do not associate with negative thinkers”. And friends they are no more. End.
It's widely deployed in China - in households, Web and mobile services and applications.
If this game at ncase [0] has taught me anything, it is that adversaries tend to exploit good intentions, more often than not. It is really difficult to navigate such waters, imo. I haven't figured out the panacea, but it is safe to assume that negotiation tactics must be in accordance with level of trust and situational context. Looking after one's own self-interest regardless tends be a nice rule of thumb.

Cabs from this vintage would have lots of individual components with probably a lot of through hole mounting. With the water damage being more recent I'd expect most of them to be serviceable. It would be most exciting if there were some for which no ROM dumps already exist. A game could be returned from the grave.

Since these games were grabbed by collectors I'd expect most of them to be fixed up like new. No need to go to all of this trouble if you are just making a MAME cabinet.
> Though in the latter case I suspect it is not wanting to be perceived as not having grasp of a situation or being perceived as lacking in knowledge.

Ha, amateurs! One of the best techniques for making an argument is to ask a leading question that challenges some unstated assumptions. Allows the other party to provide clarifying information. Or if they don't have a good response, that makes your argument for you far more strongly than directly asserting your position would.

So to further emphasize your point, nothing makes you look smarter than asking a really insightful question.
Google’s response to this is laudable:

“Whether via car or cart or camel, we love seeing creative uses of Google Maps as it helps us make maps work better over time.”
Margaret Hamilton's pedantry on the Apollo scheduler saved the mission, and possibly lives, when a low priority process started flapping. From what I understand nobody forced her to write the code that way but her own conscience.

We know that now, but it's an example of a rule that was not written in blood. Many are. Someone had an intuition and nobody died because of it.
This article is nearly 5 years old. I'd be curious to know where all the arcade games ended up and what the total value of them were all worth after resale.

As for the ship, apparently in 2019 there were plans to host a zombie-themed event on it, but the plans are now delayed indefinitely: https://www.dailypost.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/zombie-ev...
...such as? All jobs I can think of -- even the most low-status or menial -- requires a certain skill and can be done with varying levels of quality.

All jobs I can think of involve some sort of outcome that is desired by the one purchasing the work. Furthermore, that outcome can be of insufficient quality and therefore rejected by the purchaser, or at least not fulfilling the needs they were expecting to have fulfilled.
The problem is that it is too to leave Svalbard. If something goes wrong, your Svalbard colony can call for help. On Mars if something goes wrong, help is at least 6 months away. On Svalbard if you aren't having fun anymore you can leave, on Mars it is likely a oneway trip unless you are a billionaire.

Special Circumstances, LLC | Remote | Intern / Contract | Front-End Engineer

What if org-mode was an actual language?

What if Jupyter notebooks had legible source code?

What if Donald Knuth was right about literate programming being the future of the profession?

Special Circumstances† is looking for a talented front-end engineer with a full-stack mentality, to build tools for building tools. Points for experience in Lua(JIT), ZeroMQ, SQLite, and Parsing Expression Grammars. The browser-facing part of the project is green field, we're hoping to use a minimalist VDOM framework but will consider Vue or React if you're persuasive. ClojureScript, TypeScript, Elm? Talk me into it.

If you know your way around langsec, that's a plus.

The position is contract with the potential for full-time employment. All the software you write will be released under a FOSS license. We're located all over the world; if this sounds like you, reach out! sam@special-circumstanc.es, put [hn] in the subject line.

Ah yes, if it wasn't on that wikipedia page, it must not have happened. I know you aren't arguing in good faith, but here you go:

Government funds the foundation research, yes. But commercialization, especially certification, goes into billions of dollars that governments worldwide have decided that should be taken on by private companies.

What a goddamn waste. I would hope someday all governments pay a fixed share of national income / national budget to the UN which then centrally funds vaccine and other pharma (antibiotics!) development and distribution worldwide...
They also used CBC over EBC for the encryption mode. Which is good. Looks like they were at least trying to keep it safe.
I spent 3 weeks stepping through a program to reverse their blowfish encryption a long time ago...

So I won’t say he messed up by stepping through code for 6 hours to find the AES decrypt sequence but the instruction he could have scanned for is a special CPU instruction now!

aesdec xmm0,xmm1

How many separate routines could they have that directly call AES instructions?
Wont you be kind enough to tell us which of the thousands of peer reviewed papers on the IPCCH website (ipcch.ch) website your data disputes.

I strongly agree that this matter really is a matter of funding priorities. Regardless how it is funded, taxpayer dollars or medical costs, this should be funded for the benefit of society.

And as far as I can tell, Pharma cos stand to make some solid revenue from this, so lets get the risk/reward commensurate with the value society gains from this line of work.
Very nice and secure app, but lacks search for photos
Well the purpose of the filter is almost certainly to prevent running the command on the server in case of an attack, not to prevent it from being searched on Google. You'd have to spell it correctly to get the server to execute it.
Re: I think the issue here is that SQL should have more "NULL variants" to express why there is no concrete value.

No, that would muddy things in my opinion, like it did to JavaScript. Instead, have more operations/functions for dealing with them in a more "normal" way, so that we can say "WHERE x <> 5" and get results one expects. I'm not sure the syntax, and my drafts would take a lot of time to explain. To give a taste, maybe have something like "WHERE ~x <> 5" in which the tilde converts x's value to the type's default, such as a blank in the case of strings.

If the different reasons for "emptiness" matter, then usually it suggests the need for a "status" column of some kind so that queries can be done on the reasons. I'd need to study domain specifics to recommend something specific.
Quick retraction of a faulty coronavirus paper was a good moment for science
Unchecked exceptions are a disaster. In C# when you call a method you have no idea what exceptions can be thrown by the called method unless you inspect the called method and all the methods called by it. The called method can be modified at any time and a new exception can be thrown and your code will compile just fine. This is bad because the new exception may be a recoverable condition and instead of recovering your program will crash. This is why exceptions that can be thrown by a method should be considered part of the signature of the method and you should get a compile-time error (as opposed to a runtime crash) if the method throws a new exception that wasn't there when you originally wrote the code.
Of course, everybody can interpret history as they like. The fine handed out by EU to Microsoft was of course also a deterrent against further similar attempts, and Microsoft afterwards changed their tactics not only in EU, but world-wide. Or did you not get the Windows browser choice menu in US?
It's always interesting to look at the group behind the pieces of content I've watched at least once a week for basically my entire career.

For the unfamiliar, Blender videos are a staple in the video dev community and certainly the most common insider reference you'll hear. I'd go out on a limb and say anyone that's ever worked on any part of the video stack will almost certainly understand references to Big Buck Bunny, Tears of Steel, etc. For example, the first Demuxed (a conference around video engineering) t-shirt was a reference to Tears of Steel and I've had strangers stop me to comment on it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o2wg5wyl3jhxool/t-shirt.png?dl=0
Because it gets them views I suppose. But yes, I know what you mean - everything else about it would stop me from showing the video to some people, even though I 1000% agree with his points.
That's a good point, and it's a point strongly in favor of this paper and its authors.

Very few papers keep getting cited and talked about so long after publication!
That’s probably fair. IDK. I mean, the solution here was to not store plaintext at all and do token/cookie/whatever. But yea, I get your point.
the ratio of super-trolly-know-it-all (Red Hat is just a "proprietary Kubernetes distribution", really? do you even know what Red Hat does?) to "no 500 server error on my blog" is pretty high here
I think you're mistaken about the emails. If one HN user gets enough activation energy to email us, the odds are that they represent a whole group of users who are having the same experience, most of whom won't email. So it pays to take a single email seriously. Of course sometimes the emails are more...eccentric, but those are different cases.

I'm not going to count the rest of this post as a guidelines violation because I understand how things like this can drive a person up a wall and we all go on tilt sometimes. But I do want to ask you to make sure not to post like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22082038 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22068236. Those are the kind of thing we ban accounts for, and I don't want to have to ban you again. Most of your recent comments have been fine for HN.
I think that venture is plenty to talk about with an HR recruiter. Is demonstrates that you were still engaged with your career and approaching it from new directions that could give you a new perspective. It might not be something to brag about, but a fine answer to "what have you been doing for the past 12 months?"

If you are getting calls off LinkedIn then you are already passing through the HR recruiter filter and the gap is not holding you back. And a hiring manager is much less likely to care about the gap and will be much more focused on evaluating your skills and your personality.
> This is why I am afraid of the hype behind self-driving vehicles.

Well, they don't have to be absolutely correct. Just a lot more correct than human drivers across a broad range of driving scenarios to justify replacing human drivers.
Thank you. I'm currently in the process of trying to get the Domain name verified using the DNS TXT record.
I'm not sure if investing in FAN will make Facebook less of what it is today to avoid regulatory scrutiny. Author argues Google is a platform because of DoubleClick but fails to mention how Google is moving away from that model as fast as it can. See AMP and hotels as examples of Google trying to bring all ads in house. There is also ad fraud that is a huge problem for 3rd party properties which Facebook doesn't have to deal with.
I have a feeling that technology companies that have as their primary source of income advertising (aka Google & FB) are going to encounter major problems in the next decade for a couple of reasons.

1. The growth period for distribution for digital ads is basically over. We're firmly in the consolidation period and Google and FB have taken the majority of the digital ad market. There's basically no room to grow into, it's just about eating up the boundaries and new entrants.

2. Regulation seems to be coming for user data and these big ad platforms. Google and FB are trying to play the regulatory capture game so they stay in business, but again it's not a growth business - it's playing defense.

It seems like Google is best positioned to actually pivot to selling enterprise/consumers services with GCP and their services offerings. They also have an opportunity in hardware.

Facebook on the other hand seems to only have hardware as it's future, but they are up against Apple and Samsung and Google for that.
They don't do consulting anymore. Or service.

They outsource everything to sub contractors (they still apply to rfi and rfp though and win sometimes) but won't have the resources to do the job.
Christ the brown noise really hits home. Coffee and studying at night seems the only way I can do it to be honest.
Yeah, first few Mars colonies will likely be TPKs.
I somewhat recently came across this youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9mrDyAw2EvsnFozzrxLrmQ. "Joe's Classic Video Games". They frequently produce fairly lengthy and in-depth videos about doing maintenance and restoration on older arcade games.

Your original statement was emphatic and conveys authority. Perhaps, I misinterpreted your riposte, as an intention to inform the reader.
Yes, I used Tensorflow from AMD's ROCm repositories. However, the performance difference compared to upstream Tensorflow was not very large anymore.

On a related note: What's a good introduction to compiler design ? Has the dragon book been superseded by something yet? Ideally you'd be able to write a decent compiler for your own language after going through it.
You have no way of knowing that. They could have an agreement with Google to allow this.
Sadly no, the hypotheses that are now being shown to have been too optimistic were the ones that implied drastic changes. The updated models are telling us something else, you'll figure it out, and/or it will figure you out.
While that's a great point and a likely defense, the play is more often than not to charge you with lying (and scare you with the max jail time threat) to then coerce you to be an informant or work with them in some other way.

Sunshine, just because Facebook had a bad quarter doesn’t mean that they aren’t driven by profit over ethics. Nor does it mean a bold investment in “security” - as it relates to preventing info ops has anything to do with their poor performance. You don’t need to take off your shoes to count how many people work on their Global Threat Disruption Team. Their content moderators are contractors. Dig a little deeper into their balance sheet, it appears your argument is based on a false premise.
depends on where the traffic exits the Akamai network... they are likely using it to proxy Recaptcha, so they likely said "we don't care where it exits" and Akamai picks whatever is most convenient for them... in that case, Brazil.

There's a lot of lucky business that fold because they can't deal with the success. So huge success requires both luck and skill/hard work.

I never felt like Slashdot, Dig, or Reddit expected the same amount of depth / thoughtfulness.

Like when I ask a question here I'm not inundated by "I just read wikipedia and i'm here to splain it to you!" folks (I did too man .. that's not my question) and the expected depth on HN was / sometimes is fairly comprehensive. Also a lot less meme level type blogsmap nad links to folks who have blogs that actually know something.

For me that was fairly unique to HN, at least as far as programming type stuff goes. Slasdhot, dig, reddit, always kinda spammy / shallow.
We are always surprised by unbelievably convenient coincidences favoring whoever has the ability to cause them.

It's astonishing that, during the vetting process and over the course of his employment, his alleged sexual preferences were never a cause for concern. These people can't keep secrets from their employers because any secret they keep is a possible liability.
It would obviously be better if the original article had itself examined the glaring motives. But since we can not rely on mass media to actually do critical reporting, it's good for someone else to say it. When convenient narratives are repeated without questioning, it warps people's perspectives.
