Fran has a lot of great content. Be sure to check out her videos on other rare displays like the IEE BINA-VIEW[1] or ONE-PLANE[2]. While looking for those videos I also found this one[3] where she browses through a catalog of display components from the early 1970s which features those and a lot of other display technologies that have mostly died off (since LED, LCD, and OLED are good enough for almost every use-case).

Is the unique endpoint "secure/random" enough? I imagine you would end up with some amount of live session cookies, tokens, api keys, and so on, that would have some value for people guessing uris.

Edit: Ahh, missed the JWT pairing. I read "Pastebin for" too literally.
Programming Shows You How Wrong You Are About the World
Not all race conditions are as complex as you make them to be, in particular if they are done on purpose.

And many race conditions don't have anything to do with the memory model or compiler optimizations.
I'm fascinated by your account. It's 21 days old yet has a karma of 1. And the majority of your comments are greyed out.

I wouldn't ask if this was just a personal HN account, because at this point nothing surprises me anymore, but for an account that claims to "provide you fully tested tech product reviews, buying guides, features analysis, and a large how-tos collection. Our staff work 24/7 to provide the latest tech industry news.", I can't help but be curious what it is you're trying to achieve. Is anyone on your staff telling you to stop it with the shit comments, or to figure out how to not eventually get shadowbanned?
Well, coincidentally, helium was discovered in 1868, just a few years after the OP article was written, via detection of a spectral line in sunlight that didn't correspond to any previously known element. Hence the name. Of course they didn't yet have any idea about stellar nucleosynthesis and helium's role in it.
This is a very interesting point in the general sense, but American Airline's impending bankruptcy is not going to affect labor agreements with Republic and SkyWest employees, because American is not a party to those agreements.

OP for the comment here. I'd just like to add that this advice is specific to article OP who was running a business. As an owner/operator, he/she is tasked with the responsibility to allocate capital/resources in an effective way (morality of capitalism notwithstanding, in the current system once you take the job, it's no longer about you). It's one thing to use love and passion as rhetoric, but as an employee I would prefer the person up top made rational decisions, and maintained some distance with each employee. What often happens is that for every employee the boss befriends, many are on the losing side of it.

I think a lot of people are generalizing the comment to people in all positions. I've befriended many people I worked with over the years, but I was not the one paying them, giving or denying them opportunities. I also really loved what I did, but I was not the one making sure it had exchange value on the market. Friendship, "passion", etc are really luxuries the OP wanted in this position, but really could not afford in large quantities.

120,000 out of 325,000,000 does not sound high at all, to be honest. Normal would be something like 25x that.

Examples I know of personally:

My step-mother is flying out to be with her 102 year old father in a couple weeks. My sister-in-law is flying out about the same time to be with her own father. Neither is in a position to wait many months.
Since leafy surroundings and tree presence is one of the selling points for good properties, it would be great to align incentives of real estate agencies and such data collection efforts

You might want to fact check your data there. W’s second term started several years before 2008.
The Republican party used to acknowledge the problem, just differing from Democrats in how to address it. There are still such Republicans, including some who were quite prominent a few years ago, e.g., [1].

If you live in a state where a Republican is quite a bit more likely than a Democrat to win the general election, it would probably be more effective to register as a Republican so you can participate in the primaries or caucuses that select the Republican candidate for the general election.

There you can support candidates more like Republicans of a few years ago who would acknowledge and address the problem.

is protonvpn better than expressvpn?
You have it backwards. The situation I'm describing is the opposite, coming from the assumption that they do want to release it. The poster I was responding to was the one who originally presented this idea by suggesting that the only thing getting in their way was the SGI rightsholders (currently HPE) who are forcing them NOT to release it. This is what is preventing whatever FOSS principles from taking place.

Now if this isn't actually the case and they're just using it as an excuse because they don't want to release it, and they want to continue playing this cat-and-mouse game with leakers and ROM sites forever, that's fine too, it's a little disappointing, but my intention is to present the idea that there is a different way.
If you're a single-issue voter, and your single-issue is climate change, then you're probably right.

But if there are other things you care about even a little, then blindly voting for one party or the other is stupid.

Whenever voting for anything you need to first weigh the items of greatest importance to you, in order from most to least important. Then find the candidates that put them in the same or similar order.

That's whom you vote for, regardless of party, or what the news says about them, or what your family or friends vote.

Why do people ever write flaky tests? What kind of information one can hope to get from them?
Right, but this was written in 1863, and Origin of the Species had just come out in 1859. (And there were various other evolutionary theories before then.) Like I said, it's just a guess, but the question of the age of the universe would have been very fresh at the time.

It's fair to say that BitTorrent main use cases can not be said to have been in most copyright holders best interest, but as always, the details are important.

I don't personally think BitTorrent is super useful to most phone owners, but then again well over 99 percent of apps are not useful to me, so I don't know if that's an important metric?

Best interest of Apples commercial partners, seems to be what it is about, not what is reasonable, fair, or good. In other words, it wouldn't matter if there actually is/was things on BitTorrent that you actually wanted on your phone, because you are not the most important party here, the content owners are, and I think that is wrong considering the role digital devices has come to play in society.

Considering a lot of people only have phones today, I think Apple is clearly stepping over a line with how they manage their app store in a much broader sense.

Few would think it to be reasonable, that a main producer of printing presses would lease them on the condition that only certain articles can be printed, or maybe decide what magazines a kiosks on the sidewalk is allowed to sell - only because they were paid to build the shack - would be an even more apt comparison?

Tangentially, as we don't have any real equivalent to public spaces in the digital realm, it can be argued that the public spaces resides at least partially in whatever digital spaces are created to perform a similar role as the equivalent public space. An interesting thought, but I digress.

It boggles my mind that it is suddenly seen as okay because the "paper" is now a $1000 digital device, instead of a cheap piece of paper?

Since you can choose what paper to buy any day of the week, but what device to buy only rarely, I would expect society to put strict rules on the content curation of device producers/platform owners, but instead the opposite seems to be the case.

that's wildly wrong hypothesis. the complete opposite of these ideas are uncontested knowledge in academia, and in popular culture as well.

It's always a good idea to look at the performance/$ charts before jumping in on workstation CPU wagon: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_value_available.html

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 currently rocks 103 CPU-Mark/$ whereas Threadripper 3960X has 40 CPU-Mark/$. You get a lot of power out of Threadrippers but you loose a lot of value.
I'm hesitant about this. Separating the drama of a case from the logic of the opinion helps keep justices from becoming politicians. We don't want justices incentivised to work sound bites into their courtroom discourse.

On the other hand, most reporting on SCOTUS rulings is terrible. It focusses on the implications of the ruling and almost to zero degree on its legal logic. That makes the court feel like a political body.
Could you explain that? Surely either it's dangerous to read and write simultaneously to a memory location or the operations are atomic (albeit perhaps unordered) and thus there is no data race?
I think you might possibly be overstating how complex a race condition needs to be.

For example two consumers pushing results to a single result queue is a race condition, because the order in which they arrive depends on timing and is non-deterministic. That's a pretty normal thing to have.

Many languages people think of as being safe and high level are extremely racey - Erlang is my go-to example - two processes sending messages to a third is a race. Which message do you get first? It's non-deterministic. But it doesn't have to be a problem.
> For the org I am at, I don't believe, Rust offers much over Go for most of the use cases. Sure, it certainly can be _faster_ but who fucking cares?

That's actually not at all why I use Rust. I switched because I prefer the code locality. After ~5 years professionally with Go, I found large code bases were a pain point with Go because I never felt I had robust ways to solve problems, and instead always resolved to helper funcs. In Go it ended up being a ton of loops and helper functions. Spreading out the logic all over the damn place.

Go is still a great language, I'm not knocking it. I just don't think speed is a selling point for Rust, honestly. Memory control is. Enums and pattern matching is. Iterators are (my favorite thing about Rust).

Go could go a long way just having iterators.
Yeah I will say that this thread has been very validating as I haven't found anyone in my peer group who (at least admits to) feeling the same. What's the cure here? Obviously we could all use some therapy and/or meditation, but then what? To me it seems like we'd still be stuck in the same trap, just with better coping mechanisms.
They are unemployed, not striking. Being unemployed means they are not needed by a corporation, thus them not working does not damage the profit of any corporation by disrupting its function. But when you are employed in a corporation and run its functions, then you can strike and exert pressure by disrupting its flow.
Yeah, but if you're worried about bugs and security holes, I'm not sure PHP can possibly help more than it hurts. E.g., type juggling: https://www.netsparker.com/blog/web-security/php-type-juggli...
Bryan Cantrill gave a talk that included how difficult it was to take something that wasn't originally intended to be open source and then open source it. I think it was something at Sun before they were acquired by Oracle (iirc Cantrill laments how Oracle effectively un-open-sourced the project). I've watched hours of Cantrill on youtube, I'm having trouble finding which video it was. I can't explain it myself but I remember my takeaway was "wow that's a lot more complicated than I thought."

Edit: Child comment has the video. Starting at 20:17, "We wanted to open source the system. So why didn't we? What was the problem? Well, the problem was that it's a deeply proprietary system."

Neat, will have to read what they're doing. I've heard of this simple approach before - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalized_difference_vegetati... using the ratio of IR / red light.

It sounds like they have very high resolution imagery though "up to 0.3m resolution", which sounds cool.
I don't really care about CI/CD (they just run), Git (better than project_name_final-03 on an unsecured ftp server), or TDD (just cheat and write post hoc tests).

What I really hate is filling in form A, which directs you to form B, which you fill in to see whether form C is required. Form B was put in place by a legal team, who don't provide any point of contact, and who are not your friendly local legal team.

Because the process of filling out forms is so time-consuming, your engineering team uses Asana to track it. However, your PMs use an excel spreadsheet, the legal team uses JIRA, your copywriters use a google doc, and the teams that own forms B and C use separate internally created tools. You update your form-filling progress in 6 different places, some of which have bugs and others of which aren't actively monitored, so you also have to use email/slack/skype messages to follow up the right people. Some of the right people are actually the wrong people. Some of the right people reject your proposal because they didn't read it properly. A few of them reject your proposal for reasons that are actually valid, but which you could not possibly have known, because they're based on tribal knowledge which is not documented anywhere.

Filling in the forms and fixing the issues takes literally 3 months and at least 4 group meetings as well as several skype/zoom calls. One day you are finally allowed to write the code. It's 150 lines including tests, across two services, and you're done in two days. Everything that caused your proposal to be rejected would have been found in development. You quietly wonder whether you would have been happier as a bricklayer.
This is so negative sum thought. It's not even zero sum.

As much as theft hurts, destroying a device that costs so much environmental resources just to be vindictive to a thief over is abhorrent.

They could do this without the destroying hardware by linking serial numbers to people, making it trivial to look up who owns a serial number, and then enforcing receive stolen property a crime.

If you want your resume to look good you have two options. Either you work on prestigious projects (or do boring stuff at a prestigious company like Google) or you use the latest shiniest tools. Most projects in enterprises are very mundane and unimpressive so your next best option is to always jump on the latest and shiniest. It’s a very rational choice. If you always do what’s best and most efficient for the company you run the risk of not being employable in the future.

When I look at the job ads my company puts out, most devs who work there at the moment would not get hired because they don’t use the tech the company is asking for.
This was definitely a concern... Each unique subdomain is checked for collision before being assigned, so no two users will receive the same endpoint. Additionally, it is assigned with a jwt, so even if someone was to brute force an endpoint that has been assigned to someone else, they would not be authorized to see the request data.

It's different because in Eastern Europe you had to rely on your network to survive. Friendships are extremely important in Eastern Europe, N.A. is more individualistic and competitive(especially in the workplace) hence more loneliness, burnouts.
There is no risk avoidance in this scenario, just risk reduction. Our ability to do non-bias, rational, effective risk assessment is very poor. Hence, this and many other marketing tools work all the time.
> on the other hand if I buy an harry potter book, scan it by hand, print it on paper then burn the print and sell the ashes, that is clearly not a derivative work.

For this analogy, you have to talk not about selling the ashes, but about asserting copyright of your own on those ashes. Your printout of the book would unquestionably be covered by the original author's copyright. The fire would certainly be judged to have made your pile of ashes a transformative use, and any remaining legible letters in your pile of ashes would be in every way de minimus, and you haven't hurt the market for the original book, so you have an extremely safe fair use defense.

I really think it comes down to this. Empathy is so important. Unfortunately, it doesn't come natural to some.

Also, sometimes, its not worth bringing up issues - someone could really just be having a bad day.
I don't know anything about copyright law, but that seems dubious. If I type the domain of a "torrent sites/trackers with illegal content" on HN, are they on the hook because it's in their database?

This is pretty big, surprised there's so little discussion. UberEats is an unprofitable arm that people stubbornly insist will pay off, "especially with shelter-in-place", and here's some conclusive evidence it isn't working for them.
When I started I struggled with browser inconsistencies. Over the years Javascript has come a long way and whilst I'm not 100% sold on node.js, I like the idea of using the same language across front and backend so likely would have gone down that road.
They've been suing anyone who actually maintains a living instance of Popcorn Time. Maybe they hope that by removing the source code from something as popular as GitHub, this will at least diminish the frequency at which they need to sue.
Ask HN: Crowd-sourced educational resources recommendations?
As a college student (MSc Computer Science) I often encounter the situation that I am sitting in lectures that suck. The content is very interesting, but it is presented in a very bad or boring way. Most professors are not really interested in providing the best education possible (they want to do research) and therefore their performance and material (and recommended books, papers etc.) are moderate at best [0].

As a solution I head out to YouTube [1, 2], Goodreads, HN threads [3], GitHub pages [4,5] and MOOCs, Medium posts, Google [6] etc. to find alternative material to learn from. While there are some indications of quality/learnability (comment sentiment, ratings) it is still hard to judge which material is best. I want to find the material that best suits my learning needs so I can learn more efficient and effective (and thus more).

I was wondering whether a crowd computing platform (for learners, by learners) could help to collaboratively select and judge material. After searching for a topic there is some sort of rating (up/down votes) and difficulty classification {easy, intermediate, expert} to help you easily find the material that suits you best as a learner. Material can be anything from books, lectures, papers, webpages to complete MOOCs and pages of universities offering their courses for free [8].

Any thoughts on this?

Honestly my intuition is more along the lines of something like the linked comment, but because I lack the technical acumen to for example read the patent and make sense of it my suspicion is I'm being taken for a ride.
That being said the amount of money that goes to SAPs and USAPs is mind boggling, so it also seems plausible it's real. Perhaps that's the desired effect?

Also I recall a comment chain on Fark between two seemingly knowledgeable commentors that claim to be involved researchers and discuss some of the things in your linked comment, I'll see if I can find them.
