>Usually it mean that device is not function anymore. Some time ago were very easy to brick phones while flashimg them. Its not hardware, it just complete mess in software.

Failing to make a back up of the software on a device which you're attempting to hack and subsequently destroying hardly seems relevant to an auto update locking you out. That's more like changing your password and forgetting it, or back in the day formatting your hard drive without a copy of XP to re-install. I don't know which phone you're referring to, but every phone I've rooted has been salvageable.
> Technically, I could use GMail with my own domain, but only by signing up for a business GSuite account.

Actually it is possible to use your own domain with even a regular Gmail account (although not straight-forward), and it works well -- I know because that's how I have set it up.

Requirements: own domain with MX records pointing to your server(s) running SMTP software

Receiving: SMTP server forwards to gmail account, SRS (Sender Rewriting Scheme) takes care so SPF doesn't fail, DKIM just works.

Sending: you configure Gmail to use your SMTP server for sending.

Gmail side: add email alias and verify it, the "reply" function is even smart enough to use the correct alias depending on the "TO"

Besides the bonus of "owning" your email while still using the goodies of Gmail, having "catch-all", being able to easily migrate if shit hits the fan, there were also some other things I didn't realize until doing this:

You can save a local copy of the emails on your server (nice extra backup).

You have access to email logs, if you are worried about reliability you can just check it on-the-fly, you don't have to wait for the "email delivery failed" notification.
What??? Source? (iPhone user here)
There's something really nice about people who know their stuff explaining things. But this is not it.

Everything Kathleen writes is abrasive, borderline insulting to the reader.
I want to read her work, I have her book sitting on the shelf here. But I wish someone would explain to her that kindness goes a lot further than mockery.

Also, sleevecap ease is obviously not bogus. You can just get away without it on this type of fabric.
One thing that I've always noticed about this video is how much it makes sense when explained iteratively at each step. The final product, though, I can't picture that checked into source control for someone to understand weeks or months after it was thought through and written. Unpacking the final form seems almost impossible.

I'd love to know the software engineering side of using APL. For the same reasons that using esoteric bashisms instead of say a clearer python script is bad form, I can't picture APL fitting into good engineering practice. Maybe once you think in APL, it all works out fine.
> to get more attention than its content justifies

That your Mac can get to the point by an Apple OS update that you need to enter recovery mode? (Even as someone who is exclusively Apple, I have seen the mockery Microsoft has endured for similar).

Or worse, to the point that unless you have access to a spare Mac or the _currently closed_ Apple stores, you are shit out of luck?

"Eh, no big deal, not worth reading or commenting on".
Flagged because this is a sales page, not a Show HN. Please read the rules:

Regarding the sales page itself: If you had a list of podcasts created this way, I would definitely look at it. Because I am a big podcast fan.

If your product has not been used yet, I would start by contacting youtubers directly and work with them to build an initial portfolio of podcasts created with Podely.
For added irony, my Hackintosh installed the update without missing a beat.
Yes, Scala could not map their generics concepts to .NET due to reified generics and their developers gave up on Scala.NET.
It would not have. For each of these articles you see, there are hundreds of others who lose access to their account for no reason and never get it back.
If the Apple store is open and not closed during a world-wide pandemic.

In this case, you can probably recover through the DFU mode and reinstalling Bridge OS. But this requires another Mac, which some people may not have, and at least some tech know-how.

I appreciate the transparency here. Outside of API documentation, a lot of plain-language information doesn't go in-depth enough about MDM capabilities.
I use fzf’s https://github.com/junegunn/fzf ctrl+r for this. This is like ctrl-p in sublime text, but for recent commands.
The nice thing is this works for every kind of command, not just cd. If you configure your shell with a long history, it really saves a lot of typing.

Hard / soft bricked is already conventional for phones and consoles (most mainstream products, unsurprisingly).

I kinda like "cold bricked" personally.

- soft: need some sysadmin mojo, USB adb etc.

- hard: can be fixed with soldering, physical repair of sorts.

- cold: will never again work even if you're Louis Rossman (maybe as a ship of theseus). Think CPU fried.

Hmm, I don't like the concept of talking about a programming community as e.g. "python people" in combination with stating something on their behalf.
your custom domain is still centralized, it's just not popular.
I don't think this discussion thread is giving the writer's concern enough credit. Universality on its own obviously doesn't allow the instance to take over its host, but it can enable the bulk of the malicious payload to be encoded as legitimate instances of whatever P-hard optimization problem the cloud service solves, so that it need not be injected directly via the actual vulnerability that the malicious actor uses to take over the host.

> TC isn't quite the actual top! There are ways to make problems that, even with an oracle for solving Halting, are still hard [0].

I'm not sure why you're raising the subject of the degrees here. Malicious software doesn't need to have hypercomputational powers to be a threat.
The informal definition I’ve always seen is, it’s about as useful as a brick until you physically open up the case and fix it one way or another.

Since many of the problems we have today to solve were solved in the '80s and '90s with tiny tools such as Turbo Pascal, we can conclude that faster hardware and lots of memory are allowing us to bloat the software by using layers upon layers of abstraction, SOLID and DDD principles, virtualizations inside virtualizations inside virtualizations, emulators running on emulators, totally inefficient interpreters.

Using Python with its Global Interpreter Lock seems like a total antipattern when it comes to use resources wisely.
I guess I'd go with "bricked means the device is no longer usable, due to some problem the cause of which lies with the manufacturer", so most often devices are bricked because of hardware issues because manufacturer software issues are generally recoverable from.
I think the only relevant comparisons are the other binaries. Why is the touch so large?

What's wrong with it?

"Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread."

Looks like you can try it out so not sure why do you think it's not good for ShowHN?
I'd like to stress on the second point. When I graduated at 2015, and have done multiple interviews with enterprises, Java or .NET were critical. Don't know if it's the same, but looking into job postings, I'd say it is.

It'd definitely different if you work for an IT company, but not always.
Google does this as well - neither a history of emailing back and forth nor a same-day reply will keep incoming email safe from being classified as spam if it's being sent by an ordinary mail server.

Hell, Google even manages to classify emails as spam that are sent from one address on a GSuite account to another address on the same account.
I think the invulnerable argument for it is even simpler than that: whatever apparently non-determined behavior we observe may only appear that way because we don’t yet know the rules underlying it.

Any system will appear unsystematic until the precise rules governing it are known.

Since we can’t ever demonstrate that we’ve exhausted all possible theories of a system, the possibility always remains that tomorrow we would discover a perfectly effective one, and from that point the system would be as plainly deterministic as anything else.

In other words: we lack the capability to definitively distinguish between our own lacking knowledge and a system’s (potential) intrinsic non-determinism.
Do you remember what sort of validation you had setup (if any)? e.g. SPF, DKIM, IP from reputable block, etc. I'm curious to what degree this can potentially be mitigated.
Don't rely on a single drive. If your data is important for you, invest in a two-bay NAS and put two hard drives in a RAID1. Hard drives can and do break.

Ah, thanks. That jogged my memory. I did turn off power nap a long time ago, but my laptop still kept waking up at night anyhow. But I just checked, and now it seems to work as advertised.
Sure, but this is in the context of Macbook Pro's which can be fixed by someone with a bit of technical prowess, or literally anyone if you bring to to an Apple store. They're not locked down by hardware and unable to be restored like the Sonos smart speakers.

I'd go with the fact that Apple has always been a little finicky, but initially quite fixable; then it became more and more locked down and users had to accept that fact: some left, some stayed. Nowadays pretty much nobody around here is surprised by the shenanigans you may have to go through on Apple platforms outside of the core mainstream experience.

The fact that an OS update can brick a device is a non-event, it's happened before and will happen again. Apple is not perfect, no one is. They do a pretty good job most of the time, comparatively¹.

The fact that in the case of Apple you have to suffer the aforementioned shenanigans to maybe solve the problem is, well, coincidental. It's not an event in itself either.

Note this is why production machines in professional environments usually wait a few weeks-months to update. Also why security updates are generally offered on their own (shouldn't wait to install those).

1: Note that, I personally can't stand being at the mercy of 1 corporation so I took matters in my own hands and run Linux: it rarely fails. When it does, it's usually my fault, so I can assign blame, learn my lesson and move on. Otherwise, I'd have to accept that every so often, a proprietary vendor update may brick the device.

I'm no expert at taking interviews but have blown my fair share of them.

One of my worst was when I was called by a head hunter to interview for a position I applied for 2 years before. I also may have embellished my resume a bit when I applied, then 2 years later I was sitting infront of 3 people all reading my resume and me not knowing what the heck I put in the thing. So yeah thats an important one, when they say that your application will be kept on file, sometimes they do, so best to be honest.

Another time I guess I was nervous or maybe a bit under the weather but for some reason I started sweating profusely, unfortunately that day I was also wearing a silk shirt and before the interview even started I had huge pit stains, my hair was a mess and I looked like I just came off a three day bender. The interviewer was nice and didn't bring it up but I know I made a terrible impression. So I would say put some time and thought into your personal grooming and apperence.

I would also say it is important that you have answers ready for the most common questions that you know they are going to ask. Eg. So you say you have been with your company for 3 years, why do you want to leave? Probably best not to say, I just dont feel like im growing or learning much anymore (even if thats true, Im sure you can come up with a better way to put it that is both true and positive!) Eg. I have learned and grown a lot working for xyz and have enjoyed working for them but I feel your company is offering me a great opportunity to showcase and build upon my skills and past experiences.

Doing well in an interview comes down to self confidence, chances are you would be a great employee that most companies would be lucky to have. Just keep telling yourself that, having hired many people myself I can tell you that if you can do what your asked to do without arguing, show up on time and get along with your co-workers, then you are already in the top 90% of all candidates, so keep your chin up and You will do fine on the next interview!

Finally if you have been told you rambled or that you talked too fast, a lawyer once told me to count to 5 in my head before answering any question. Sometimes when you are nervous giving yourself a short pause before opening your mouth can be just what is needed.

Good luck!
So did my Mac and my wife's Mac. I don't see the irony. This probably affects a small subsets of Macs [1] and probably still the count of successful updates is much higher for Apple Macs than Hackintoshes. But yes, if you cherry-pick anecdotes, you can get any outcome you want.

[1] Which is still terrible, these things should just not happen. Bad quality control from Apple' side and inexcusable for > 1000 Euro 'premium' computers.
viruses have no agency so they don't attempt to reduce entropy across time. viruses are a reduction of entropy across time, just by being an organized structure (of rna and protein strands folded together) requiring energy to create and maintain. information is encoded in that structure--both in the sequence and in the shape--and that's transmitted through time.
You can do that on edx.org
I’m unsure of how you mean that in a technical sense. It’s straightforward to make those guarantees in your interpreter.

And just to be clear, Dhall, the configuration language we’re talking about, is not TC, but powerful enough to compute the Ackermann function: https://gist.github.com/Gabriel439/77f715350ecc0443eed5fa613...

Add “ackermann 10 10” to your configuration file and you have something that’s technically proven to terminate, but won’t do so before the sun burns out. No security properties are gained here.
It seems it requires root privileges to start with. Am I misunderstanding?
Just wanted to chime in as a happy RaSCSI user. I am using it on my Sharp X68000 with a hat that I built from a PCB + a bunch of buffer ICs.

It offers SCSI disks, CD, Ethernet(tap device on rpi side) and a way to share a Linux directory with the X68k.

Performance is well over what an early nineties computer could require.

First thing I fired up was MMDSP and listened to some awesome tunes available.

All you can do on that page is sign up. Sign-up pages are explicitely listed as a type of page that can't be a Show HN.

This sign-up page especially rubs me the wrong way as it uses a dark pattern: It grabs your email address first and then tells you that you cannot proceed without entering your credit card details.
That is a good example why betting on the platform languages is always a long term safer bet than betting the house on guest languages,

Kotlin hit jackpot with Android, but given Google's reluctance to move Android Java beyond its Java 8 subset, JetBrains will eventually need to consider having two Java targets as part of their multiplatform Kotlin, or just focus being an Android language.

Really believe in this model, and hope it is followed more often. And it could also be a coop, which aligns quite well with community-building.
You vastly understate the power of the US Federal government when you compare it to the EU, and understate the power of German states. I don't know what you mean by "evidence" here. We're not discussing some sort of experimental result. We're discussing the basics of the American and German constitutions.
Thanks for checking out the article and writing a thoughtful follow-up comment. I knew Levi's didn't own their own production, but I wasn't aware that they outsourced to tiny manufacturing operations (ie piece-work workshops) as well as conventional factories.

On the subject of manufacturing/fit discrepancies, it might be interesting for me to write a follow-up piece on my measuring process and what I learned about garment manufacturing from measuring. Here's a little preview of my process and of what I learned about Levi's specifically.

The measurements that I used to write the article are my best estimate for the intended jean specs, rather than an average across measurements taken from multiple jeans in the same size or from a sample of one jean per line. What I did was measure jeans in multiple sizes and colorways from each line. The goal was to get an idea for what Levi's grading rules are (how each pant measurement, like the thighs, changed from size-to-size), as well as how often there were deviations from the grading rules (due to manufacturing tolerance) and if there are any noticeable variations in measurements by colorway or manufacturing location.

Compared to most other brands, Levi's rarely had egregious manufacturing problems. That is, every measurement I took was within a 1" margin of error from the measurement specs I tried to reverse engineer. Moreover, out of the eight measurements I took per pant, I found that on average only one of those measurements was off-spec and even then on average it was never off by more than 1". On the other hand, brands like Goodfellow & Co from Target were way worse (I basically had to give up on some of the pant lines).

The most surprising thing I found is that Levi's does not seem to intentionally change their measurements color-by-color (so dark blue jeans have the same intended measurements as light ones). This might be an even bigger issue for perceived garment fit than having a 1" manufacturing tolerance. Dyes affect how people perceive fit because the dying process affects the feel of the garment, so on average darker clothes feel lighter than lighter clothes made from the same materials with the same measurements.

After doing all this measuring, my big takeaway about the challenges with clothing fit is that it's fundamentally a communication problem, not precision problem. Take manufacturing tolerance, for example. An inch off in some places can be a real problem, like for the waistband of jeans, but for the most part it's not too much of an issue. For example, the difference between every measurement on the leg of the Levi's Skinny and Slim jeans is 1.75". An inch difference in one part of the leg won't completely transform the fit. The real problem with how apparel is sold is that all these details, like manufacturing tolerance, are opaque and swept under the rug. If consumers better information about things like fit, they could at least more confidently make a purchase (or choose not to make one).

Anyway, that's my rant! I'll probably write a follow-up that more coherently pieces some of those points together :-)
How about the memory usage?

Can you (easily) nest 3mux like tmux with (auto-)grouped sessions to produce a (max) 9x9 "grid" of windows to organize your remote hosts, and their windows into an easily accessible structure.
(I use this to be able to reach any window in any other terminal window on any host with max 4 keypresses)

Why choose Go? Just curious.
I think you mean “prevalent”. “To prevail” has a different meaning.
Quite the other way around: Many if not most progresses in human tech history came from such endeavours.

Space travel was helped/made possible by military research (beginning with the Nazi regime), and then over the decades each r&d helped the other side to advance. Internet? Military origin. Some forms of long range comms? Space.

Or, when we want to generalize to all forms of r&d deemed "wasteful", much research in the car space was being done in the Formula 1 and later trickled down to consumer cars - the only case in which trickle down politics actually work. Many antibiotics and other medical agents came from researching rare animals in remote countries.
The blog entry is quite good, but it seems to suggest that the breakthrough consists in analyzing living organisms through the lenses of information theory. This is not a mistake in itself, but a shallow perspective nonetheless: information theory is, supposedly, a mathematical representation of the ways our brains make sense of the world around. The blog entry accidentally gives leeway to readers think that there is some intrinsic quality to living beings that transforms dull matter into information propagation channels.

As expected, the article does a better job in setting aside this line of reasoning[1]. What you are really measuring is how information is persisted over time, and over the "background noise" of environment. They specifically talk about viruses at a point, and the usual odd distinction of them being not quite living creatures. When they are found sitting outside their hosts, it is very hard to point out if they actually carry information over time.
