FWIW, I don't see this set of steps in any of the comments here. And as of late I've been setting up tons of Dell Laptops, so I have this memorized.

Windows 10 Professional, freshly minted from Dell:

* "Set up for organization"

* "Local account or domain join" (it's in small print in the lower left)

* Create a local Admin account

* Do not setup a password at this time (it'll force you to set up recovery questions or some other nonsense.)

* set all the data sharing options to "no"

* skip entering data for the Dell registration

* On first login, hit ctrl-alt-del and set a password there.

Windows Home does not offer the choice to "Setup up for organization", so you are forced to make a windows account. There's no way easy way out of it.

Microsoft keeps saying "Windows is a service" and has that text somewhere in the install. I guess if you want an operating system, you have to turn to Linux.

The explanation I've heard from a fusion scientist is that as far as they're concerned, if you're initiating the reaction by colliding nuclei, it's fusion, and if you're initiating it by hitting a large nucleus with a neutron, it's fission.
Looking at all of the work that came out of Parc during your time there... What drew you to that company to begin with? I find it amazing that so many of the Big Names in computer science/software engineering came from the same place.
I frequently setup PCs for friends and family. I'm not about to start asking them for their Microsoft account credentials.

A much more reasonable approach is to setup a normal Windows user profile and let them connected it later if they want. I don't encourage it, though, because there isn't much benefit unless you have multiple computers with synced personalization settings, which is very uncommon.
They're not "crazy", which is pretty disrespectful. Anyone paying attention has seen the writing on the wall for a while. Snowden just confirmed what they've been saying all along.

Data is the new arms race, those who collect the most have the most to gain, especially financially where data is being a core asset to a business.

Dumb is going to be the new gold, at least for those "crazies" you speak of.

weird, at the hackspace I went to, there were plenty of "under-privileged" people doing amazing side work for the fun of it.

Do we really need to start shaming people that actually do cool stuff?

I've never heard of them taking money from you. usually the company pays.
Exactly, it's verbal defense-in-depth. When language has multiple layers of vagueness, you have to actively approach the real meaning through interpretation. Only the staunchly disagreeable are inclined to have a negative reaction through multiple iterations of reading between the lines, and if they speak up they get singled out as not-team-players or even cranks and kooks. The rest filter it through an attitude of generosity, desire for positivity, and benefit of doubt, so when they get the message its emotional weight is dampened, and they are in a suitable frame of mind to accept it with resignation.

In short it's pure manipulation of your own tendencies for social cooperation. Perhaps a bit colorful to say on HN but--it's fucking disgusting. And multiple fields of high-paying professions consist entirely of doing this effectively, up to the scale of entire nations.
A sibling/top-level comment has a link to the security doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YHcl1-vE_ZnZ0kL2almeikAj...

I think what that is saying is that, say evil.com starts embedding some sensitive site. It can't normally see the contents of that site, b/c it would be cross origin. (Or any other context where I can load a resource, but not see the content.) If I want to know whether some content is or is not in that sensitive site, I use the scroll-to-fragment to scroll to that text: either it will find the text, and scroll to it, or it won't; evil.com won't know the result of that directly, but it might be able to measure timing/CPU work done, and from that, infer the result: whether that text was or was not in the page. From there, repeat the attack to start brute forcing the content of the page. W.r.t. DNS, if the scrolling or lack of scrolling initiate two separate sets of DNS requests that I can observe, then that's one possible way to leak the information on the page.

At least, that's how I'm reading that security doc; this is fairly different from how other responses to your remark are interpreting it, but I wonder if they were only looking at TFA, which really was not very clearly explaining anything.

The security doc also mentions "Restrict feature to user-gesture initiated navigations", which would completely stop the iframe attack I've outlined above.
Manjaro is better than Ubuntu as a workstation and for developers it's better than Windows in my opinion. I've been trying out Linux desktops for 20 years and it's the only one that got me to switch.

I've been on Manjaro now for almost 2 years, doing JavaScript/React/PHP/Ruby/Python work (and some .NET Core with SQL Server!). I use VS Code and Chrome. I listen to music with Spotify. We have Slack. I can remote desktop into Windows machines with FreeRDP.

Recently someone said that they thought they would prefer to try Xubuntu because it had more official support so I decided to compare it to Manjaro and try it out on a spare machine. There's really no comparison. Setting up software on Ubuntu is painful, having to find and add keys to various disconnected software repos for every package. After a week, the Ubuntu installation ate itself after an update and wouldn't boot.

Meanwhile I have 3 workstations running Manjaro (work desktop, home desktop and personal laptop) and they all run perfectly and installing software is as easy as opening Add/Remove Software utility and finding what I want. Everything is there, even my favorite diff util from Scooter Software - Beyond Compare.
The images and other resources would be part of the query. I don't know how Chrome prioritizes loading of resources, but if it prioritizes those resources in the current view, it might be possible to tell specific information about a page based on DNS traffic.

Example: Let's say Chrome loads resources in the current view first, and you send a deep link with "cancer" as a search term. If a gullible user follows that link, then...

- If "cancer" does not appear, the first resources queried will be those at the top of the page.

- If "cancer" does appear, the first resources queried might be those used elsewhere in the page.
I haven't paid for a windows license a single time in my life and kinda forgot that people (home users, anyway) actually did.
No, they are not right, they are very very wrong and probably just using this an excuse to be lazy; don't let people shame you for actually doing something.
>Intrusive sys-admins are more annoying these days trying to control and lock things down in a more connected world.

How about trying to stop a raging forest-fire and the primary tool you are supposed to use is a squirt gun?
The backend that we have to work with was designed around the concept of "1 network, X users" and the biggest threat was a boot-sector virus that formatted your hard-drive after silently replicating itself to every machine.

Now you need security in layers, because even if every god-damned employee was as smart as Tim Berners-Lee and didn't open every email attachment, drive-by downloads; 0-day browser exploits that give access to ring0 coupled with an OS that releases updates that are more likely to bjork your computer then actually solve the fucking problem these computers are sitting fucking ducks.

And because we are seen as "Intrusive" we can't even get the C-level assholes to listen to us, or to follow the rules that they see are necessary for everybody else.

The environment has grown so hostile that Becky in accounting doesn't need internet access, and you are lucky we don't limit the internet to 1 terminal in the lunch room with every port disabled and filled with a hot-glue gun.

Just because YOU are "smart with computers" doesn't mean your damn computer is safe.

We (SysAdmins) are fighting a desperately hard battle. We get shit on by the end-users, and Upper Management. If you have 1 frustration with your PC multiply it by thousand, and try to put yourself in our shoes.
I certainly wasn't a part of the cultural context but I get the feeling that in many cases the messages werr really about the Soviet Bloc consciously or otherwise. Along with the anxieties attributed to the computers, which sound like an outlet for complaints about the top down system.

The bit about the experts seems downright allegorical for the suppression of "bourgeois pseudoscience" like cybernetics itself before they could rationalize it in the prevailing dogma for the party.

One of the details from the article is that using anamorphic lenses essentially treats the camera sensor as if it is larger than it actually is, which reduces the effective depth of field.

If you look carefully at the backgrounds in Mandalorian scenes, a lot of the time, they are slightly soft (out of focus)--which hides the pitch of the LED wall by expanding each LED point into larger, overlapping circles of confusion. To be clear, that softness is a physical effect of the camera lens, not a digital effect on the wall, so it can be captured by the camera sensor up to any resolution you want.

> Also, how do they cope with the scan rate of the background video being played back to sync with the camera recording the footage?

In the article they say the latency is about half a frame, which they handled by using slow camera moves--which conveniently is similar to how the original Star Wars films were shot.

If you're talking about the refresh rate of the LEDs, I believe those can be cranked up way higher than the frame rate of the camera, which was likely 24 or maybe 30 frames per second to give that cinematic feel.
That shortage is mostly a myth: https://www.wired.com/2016/06/dire-helium-shortage-vastly-in...

We shouldn't have to be investigative reporters in order to buy products that won't harm us.

Even the merchant name is bullshit on Amazon.

Try finding Apple headphones and see how many are sold by merchants named "Apple".

Amazon has to know that product is not actually being sold by Apple, yet they allow the counterfeiting to continue.
When I was a TA, the rule for homework assignments was that they were due at midnight, with a grace period chosen per-assignment of 1 to 6 hours, undisclosed to students. Alas, I could only choose the grace period on 5 minute increments, so I couldn't pick a time like 3:13.

The grace period I set for the hardest homework assignment was 1:05--probably cut off a few people who were hoping to extend a two-week assignment by 3 or 4 hours.
Great thread thanks for sharing. Really makes you want to order an oscilloscope and some CPUs to putz around with.

Everything in computer science is such a rabbit hole, great field to be in.
> If absolute truth is more important to you than a few fibs or a little half-truth, you'll find it difficult to run a successful business.

To be frank, we're doing quite well so far.
Also consider that we, the Earthbound humans, will probably never live comfortably in space, or low gravity environments. We're just not built for it and there are many physiological issues we'd face.

That of course doesn't mean humans never will, future generations, should they go to space, will adapt and evolve to their new environments, whether naturally or through deliberate selection. You and I, we never will. But our descendants might.
You don't need maths to become a programmer
Anything with sTRX4 socket should be able to handle at least between 250W and 280W. But it's not out of the question that many motherboard designs draw a lot from AM4 boards which have much lower requirements, to keep costs down. This may be the result.

The "CPU defective by design" in the title might be a bit misguided since the suggested workarounds do not address a CPU issue but a motherboard one.
>And before anyone mentions that "normal people" like it and it is just the icky nerds that have reservations

I'm one of the "normal people". I absolutely hate Windows 10 . I used it for a few years because switching to Linux seemed overwhelming. I have finally ditched Windows 10 for Elementary OS, it's just so much better.
Do you mind opening an issue via http://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/issues/new with the details? (I assumed you've checked out the auto-generated documentation and that doesn't look good to you.)

There were discussions on type hints but unfortunately no one has found the time to make the contribution yet.

We also have a new `python-experimental` client generator that has better support for new features in OAS v3. Please check it out to see if it works better for you.

BMO and another org in 2018. BMO's security was atrocious, for a while they had you use your 4-digit pin to log into online banking. One of the reasons I ended up switching to Tangerine...
I would also argue for a short comment in the code for things like this. Code gets shared and the version control doesn’t always come with it. I’m mostly bitten by this when using some vendor’s SDK where they release a tarball of the code but keep the repo private. But even within your own organization, code will get copy/pasted to another repo and the comment is more likely to go with it.
Neither you or your parent is incorrect; this behavior is variable. I setup 8 new win10 boxes last week, 2 of them (HP, the others were Dell) required pulling a lan cable to get to the local account setup. I didn't have time to check details to see what was different (I'm not really IT, but small company/many hats) but the local account option didn't appear until the internet was disconnected.
Science Fails When Researchers Stand to Profit from Their Study's Results
It's a bit weird to say we're running out of He, not unless we're running out of CH4. Which, theoretically we are.

But practically, with CH4, our modern concern is not running out of it, but the associated GHG emissions of producing and burning it.

So we won't run out of He, so much as stop producing it.
Those two issues seem completely unrelated to me.

One has to do with replacing damage cash, the other with control over the money supply.
Start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneutronic_fusion

(TLDR version: proton-boron fusion is a less energetically efficient alternative to 3He fusion, but with the howlingly significant advantage that boron -- the fuel -- is lying around in heaps and drifts on Earth, rather than being so exotic a substance that annual global production is measured in single-digit kilograms and a significant energy economy would require mining it from the Lunar regolith. It's not as well-known as 3He fusion, though, because the space cadets don't see the point -- there are no Moon colonies required. Advantages of 3He or B + p fusion over D-T fusion: it doesn't produce a surplus of neutrons, so there's less radioactive waste created as a by-product of the process.)
Type Witnesses in Haskell
I have a AMD GPU, a 380X... and to be honest I am just sure AMD power management is crap in general. 380X in particular has bigger demand than 380, but AMD didn't bother raising power limit, causing some weird issues (some games for example get unstable unless I use some overclocking app to reduce voltage and raise power limit... mind you, the normal 380 people already used it with maximum power limit by default, because it was already too low...).

Then we get the R480 melting cables for the same reason... and so on.
The type system depends on the kind of data you want to keep around in your columns, which could be a mix of types, and it could be all strings and NaNs, for example. This is common with DataFrames. There's a huge number of possible combinations of data you could be reading in that you need to clean up, reshape and then analyze. And you might be making decisions on how to do that in the middle of your wrangling. It's just like what you can put in Excel or a CSV.
Ah, I see. Add that to the website :)
I feel the same problem! I've been writing web apps in various technologies (from backbone to react, php to Node) and always felt I had to reimplement the same common features (while using a lot of code + tests, ...).

Thinking similarly as you (terraform for code), together with my brother I started working on https://wasp-lang.dev/ - it is a DSL for building full-stack web apps. We are still very early but have some initial functionality.

Would love to hear if that resonates with what you had in mind.

We also did a quite extensive research of other solutions so happy to share what we discovered here as well.

Ask HN: Low Ball Offer from Shady Investor
I worked with a high profile investor over the last year. He gained access to my IP by promising to invest in my company. Then over time few times offered multiple way of partnership and then changed them. Till I
got a low ball offer which is 9 times below his
suggestions. I countered the offer. I am ready
to move out from his premises as he gave me free office. I am confident he has made multiple million dollars from my work so far. What is best way to deal with this situation?
Problem with many of these molecules that are found to work in mice, when put in human which is considerably more complex, say it goes thru the liver, the liver may break down most of it when circulating the blood stream. So now the drug needs to also resist that type of break down. Now multiply that by 10 to 100 of other types of reactions your body can generate from this.

To be fair, the shift-to-iPad happens even when the desktop isn't awful.

My mother now only touches her Macbook Air if she needs to use her bookkeeping software, or transfer embroidery files to a USB drive to use with her sewing machine. She's much happier being able to do everything else on her iPad -- plus, she can take it with her more easily, and the battery life is ridiculous.

Would you order those cable ties if you were a low-voltage contractor suspending a bundle of ~100 cables for 200’ above an ACT grid ceiling? Cheap cable ties may work for bundling cables in your home rig or home stereo setup, but they may not be sufficient for a more robust load that a commercial application demands.
Yes it seems like you could generate extreme levels of electrostatic force by collecting the Helium nuclei. Do that on one side of a capacitor, periodically short it out (producing ordinary Helium) to clear both plates, and repeat. So yeah a machine which takes hydrogen and boron and emits helium gas and electricity. Sounds like it's worth doing, at least for the sake of children's birthday parties.
A solokey is $20 I wouldn't call that significant especially in comparison to the cost of losing your email, bank, steam account etc.
Well, rank based on what? You need a metric to optimise for.

Maybe that's price, or maybe that's user clicks or bookings if you're Airbnb.
I remember when Buildzoid of AHOC did the mobo breakdowns of the TR4 boards and thinking that while some of the super high end boards were probably good for this sort of beating, the mid and low range might struggle hard with the 64/128 part if it ever came into being (3990X was just a rumor at that time). But it looks like they need more caps to handle the transient response time, and probably also some firmware fixes to slow ramp because I don't think all the SMD caps in the world are going to handle that sort of ramp. It's just not possible to get them close enough to the actual CPU without literally putting them under the IHS.
Fair to leave EVs out.

I probably wasn't specific enough, either. When I was a kid in the early 90s, a car making it to 100k was still considered a (possibly then outdated) achievement, whereas in the last 15 years, a car making it gracefully to 100k miles is simply expected.

- It's possible that I'm old enough such that this point no longer seems novel.

- I'll also concede that despite this, there are plenty of cars which aren't reliable which people buy. If I'd clarified better, I might have said that even if there are plenty of unreliable cars these days, consumers have a large pool of reliable cars to choose from.

Cost, I hope is more self-evident. Consumers today have a absolutely amazing choice of quality, reliable cars (Fiesta, Fit, Versa, Yaris, Rio, Accent, etc) in the range of $15k.

- A fair counterpoint would be that the median price of cars is actually quite high: ~$30k.

- Like before, I should have been more specific said that consumers have really great low-cost options, rather than that "cars are [broadly] cheap these days.
If someone wants to build and train their own model that assigns a binary gender based on pictures that's their own choice, and because of that freedom they can't force google to do it for them.
> but is it really so terrible?

We don't know what the future has in store for us. To me, the level of control China has over its population is scary.

Data can be misused in many different ways, and one day, I suspect we'll see a catastrophic situation occur as a result of all this connectivity and mass surveillance.

Only then, people might take note and realize it's a terrible idea.

Freedom Shield
The freedom of assembly is widely considered to be a basic human right and is codified in documents such as the First Amendment to the US Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. However, there are many places in the world where this right is not respected.

We are living in a time where surveillance cameras, with the ability to uniquely identify individuals through machine learning algorithms, are exceedingly common. Such cameras can be used to deter people from exercising their rights.

Freedom Shield was developed to protect the rights of individuals to peaceably assemble and petition their government while:

- Blocking their face from surveillance cameras to prevent identification.
- Being invisible to onlookers, so as to not draw attention from state police forces in the way a mask would.

Quarter of all tweets about climate change produced by bots
"A tricky beast" definitely seems fair. These things have to scale per-core power consumption from ~13W down to ~3W on the fly to stay within their 280W limit.

To my knowledge, AMD hasn't implemented any proactive measures that are as severe as Intel's AVX512 strategy, where the instructions get split and handled by the narrower vector units for a surprisingly long time while powering up the full-width vector units (and dropping CPU clocks). This AMD instability is only using AVX2: 256-bit SIMD rather than 512-bit. But spread across so many cores, that's still a lot of FPUs to be lighting up.
