Apologies for a tangential side-topic:

I wasted 6h of research trying to find a small machine with R1606G (or any of the V1000's) with dual 10GbE NICs, and failed. :(

Even Sapphire who promised such a machine retracted their pages and now only their dual 1GbE NIC offering are being sold[0]. The dual 10GbE NIC variants only exist in two PDFs[1][2] now.

I went through AMD's official list[3] of embedded offerings based on the latest R1000/V1000 platforms but exactly zero of the options have the promised dual 10GbE NICs.

Can somebody point me in the right direction? I need a strong and power-efficient embedded NAS with 1 or 2 10GbE NICs that covers several other homelab/server needs and I feel the R1606G is the best compromise in terms of money, power, wattage expense, form factor and required cooling (ideally I'd keep that thing in my bedroom or living room and want to never hear its fans but hey, it can sit in a closet as well).

I am willing to look elsewhere, it's just that the latest R1000/V1000 offerings seem to be so good!

I suspect there's more going on here than meets the eye:

- This is the first post on a new blog by somebody without a full name or any social media presence that I can find (googling "amton gaming blockchain" returns zero hits)

- The company/site in question is never named or linked to

- They used somebody else's credit card and don't seem to have matching ID for it

Is "blockchain gaming" code for an online casino or something? If so, this is likely against GCP terms of service.

You can implement 'amb' using either continuations or monads.

Back in 2005, I wrote a very short Ruby version of 'amb' using continuations: http://www.randomhacks.net/2005/10/11/amb-operator/ This approach works if your code contains no side effects, because it involves backtracking and restarting the computation as needed. But continuations are a heavyweight feature that place significant constraints on language implementation, so few languages support them.

You can also implement 'amb' using monads: http://www.randomhacks.net/2007/03/12/monads-in-15-minutes/ (Yes, this is yet another monad tutorial. Sorry.) This benefits from a "do notation" syntax, which could be implemented using macros.
Why are people persisting to Firebase? Is is it still solving a pain point?
Galápagos syndrome – Solutions that work in Japan but don't work anywhere else
>And last, people compare it to languages like Rust or Go since they consider those are "innovative"

No, they do not. The entire appeal of go is that there is zero innovation at all. It is the most plain, boring, ordinary language around. It does absolutely nothing different or neat or new or special. Instead, it focus on being simple, easy and fast. Just like PHP apologists keep claiming about PHP. The difference is go was developed by competent software developers, so it isn't a broken, buggy, inconsistent mess.

>PHP was created for website development

And yet it is outclassed for that purpose by general purpose languages like go.

>and in that area neither Go or Rust are even close to matching it in terms of maturity.

Age is not maturity. PHP is old. It is less terrible than it was 20 years ago, but it is still worse that any other language except javascript.

> To me it seems overly paranoid to suggest that the UK government would be doing this merely so they could track citizens movements or whatever

I agree, but don't ignore the rest of the argument, which is that the beta versions of the app failed the requirements to be included in the NHS App library; they're using weird version control so NHSX can't do correct tests on the app; it's already failed some security testing; and the contract was awarded to someone on Sage, who has a brother that works for Cummings.
If you are running a torrent site with "links" (.torrent files available) it's illegal. Torrent site is not hosting any videos, just links to them. This is exactly the same with popcorn time because they have providers in their code base. In case of the torrent site interface is a website, in case of popcorn time it's an desktop application. If they would remove providers (torrent sites/trackers with illegal content) from their code then DMCA would be invalid.
Interesting. What are some tech products from Poland though? I only know of CDProjectRed and their video games
You are completely guessing this based on very little information. There is a strong chance that you are wrong. Is your goal just to throw mud?

You ignore the point of the post - that Google can and will shut some clients down with little warning and even less recourse.
As someone who has been writing hand-optimised GPU code for a while now, I'd argue that this high level view (and thus an appropriate functional high-level language) can get you reasonably decent performance on a GPU for little effort for many highly parallel problems.

And there are still plenty of cases where this will leave performance improvements of an order of magnitude on the table, because the compiler isn't smart enough to work out the optimal sequencing of operations. Often the computational core which benefits from running on a GPU is small and its complexity low enough that, if performance is a priority, you are better off writing it in an imperative low-level language as a library which can be accessed from higher level code.
I agree.

I spent years of my childhood learning to play the piano. I did not have the patience to practice four hours a day , so I never became more than moderately proficient.

And learning to play an instrument does not necessarily mean learning to create music. While playing off sheet music and focusing on dexterity exercises can be rewarding, they are not creative activities.

With Sonic Pi you can focus on music creation and simple programming concepts. It is rewarding in a different way.
I'm sure they do. Under some conditions, I might even be one of them.

However, the drawback if data from a centralised system for coronavirus tracing is abused by central authorities contrary to their explicit public statements is obvious and not particularly interesting or enlightening, so I suggest we all stick to discussing the substance of the article rather than conspiracy theories. If the government wanted to track people centrally via their mobile phones, it's not as if there aren't more reliable ways they could do it anyway.
It's just a job.

Always leave them wanting more.

Yep. In fact, lisps tend to pop up quite a bit in livecoding (and in other places, really).

https://github.com/toplap/awesome-livecoding is a nice curated list of live coding languages and tools.
I think there's some truth in that. But it also assumes that the consumer (of whatever crap they're spewing) isn't smart enough to understand or see this. IDK - I think most people are capable of seeing through it _provided_ they are exposed to counterpoints. That's not to say that there shouldn't be some level of monitoring. Obviously someone breaking an egregious law and posting it on YouTube should have their post taken down. Admittedly there's probably grey area in that too.

What worries me about content policing and deplatforming is that now the companies that run the platform become the de facto police. And as we see in this very post and many of the associated comments that is a very, very dangerous thing.

EDIT: clarity
It's not just about firebase, it's about Google services in general. We have heard so many of these calls for help on HN that it is clear that relying on Google services is like gambling with your business.
I do not. I'd share it from memory but I think it may perhaps be offtopic for HN and I'm tired of being banned from services I use every day as a result of growing arbitrary political censorship online.

I'm happy to send it to you personally; shoot me a mail.

If I ever get any sort of confirmation from Twitter that that's what caused the suspension, I am going to print some shirts for myself that say "Banned from Twitter for wondering why the Americans no longer shoot at the concentration camp guards."

I’m in the US and my experience is the same as yours. Maybe 50% of my friends are coworkers and former coworkers. I have almost always stayed at companies longer than I otherwise would because I loved my coworkers.

Burnout for me is caused by too much bureaucracy, too many meetings, and incompatible programming philosophies. Only twice in my long career have I left a job due to an insufferable coworker.

This is the state we are in now already - most people, as long as they have jobs, don't have to worry about these things.
Throttling Ansibles Local_action Module
There's no way you're gonna get these devices unlocked if they're from a company that has gone under, I guarantee there will be either no time to reset the devices properly, or the people who could have done this have been let go long before everything went bust completely.

If there's thousands of these devices then it's a design flaw not a user fault.

Theft protection is orthogonal to recycling. If apple wanted they could easily setup a system that allows users to mark macs as stolen, which locks them down, and notifies the police/owner whenever they are powered on. But which would still allow "certified recyclers" to unlock and wipe macs that haven't been marked, so that they can be gifted to people in poverty, schools, students, and other non-profit causes.

I bet such a system would even increase return rate, as recycling companies have no interested in keeping a stolen macbook if they are able to unlock all the disposed ones instead.

Apple can market this however they want, the T2 has one main goal, reduce reuse and increase turnover and sales.

It's exactly the same as with the Sonos Bricking, except that Sonos has come to their senses and disabled it, while Apple has the diehard support of their fan base, no matter how hard they screw people over.
Of course not. I just think the threat if the government straight-up lie and then abuse the contact graph is obvious and not particularly interesting as a conspiracy theory.

I also think that in this particular case, it's not really that much of a threat, for the simple reason that more effective means are already trivially available for the government to track people using their mobile phones if it wants to.

My comment was to show that the argument “I’m not infringing copyright; I’m just giving directions and tools to do so, and telling them how much fun it is” doesn’t work in US law.

From the Grokster summary ( https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/545/913/ ):

“One who distributes a device with the object of promoting its use to infringe copyright, as shown by clear expression or other affirmative steps taken to foster infringement, going beyond mere distribution with knowledge of third-party action, is liable for the resulting acts of infringement by third parties using the device, regardless of the device’s lawful uses.”
I noticed you didn’t mention anything about the citizens who might have been affected by a “slip up”. What have those cities done to compensate the victims?
Mobile sync, if I understand correctly.
This kind of dismissal of an analogy bothers me. It's quite common, most often just using the word comparing: "Are you seriously comparing this to ...???"

Analogies are a great tool for clarifying similarities and no, that doesn't mean that situation A shares every virtue or vice with situation B. If so, it wouldn't be an analogy, it would be the same.

I had no idea about this, I revoke the part about it being great. Still cheap though, can't take that away from my original statement.
I'm not sure this is fair. Nobody really knows to what extent psychopathy is inherited vs caused by upbringing. The problem isn't necessarily disbelief in biology, the problem is nobody actually knows the answer.

Challenging something that's universally challenged seems comprehensible to me.
Do you disagree with any of the points I've raised?

I know it's a common trope here that Google does evil things just for fun, but we've only got one side of the story here and there's been a number of previous cases here of apps getting kicked out for what turned out to be pretty understandable reasons.
Tamiflu Campaign (2018?)
Nature has created conscious beings. It would be a bit presumptuous to assume humans will be able to do so too
The answer is definitely yes.

Though I feel obligated to add that I think the above fact doesn’t mean an organization shouldn’t try at all to protect against insider threat. Most are opportunistic, not all of the qualities you mentioned.

How hard you try depends on your company’s situation. Some industries make it more necessary than others.
Nobody expects to be on the bad end of this situation, and the good side (all the services and features) are very tempting.

Terms of service and other agreements do not justify the careless approach that Google takes toward it's customers and customer service.

This situation should be resolved with capable humans in the Google business/account management group, but as we have seen so many times here on HN, that is not how Google operates.
I'd pay a dollar for someone to shame me every week via text, to make sure I was achieving my goals
Thanks, Marcelo! One idea I have is to build an email open tracker that does not sell data to third party. Doesn't take time to build and can be priced at a dollar a month. I am looking for tools like these that are not that hard to build if your ambition is not to scale.
I will be the genie who will grant that wish, the moment I have the F you money.
The COVID Safe app was already released (although not fully functional on the server side yet) but the Google and Apple APIs are not available yet, so doesn't that mean that it isn't using the Google and Apple APIs? At least currently, any way.

According to the Australian COVIDSafe app's privacy policy, when you register for the app, after you successfully enter a PIN sent by SMS, it transmits the following info to the Australian authorities: your mobile phone number, the name you enter, the age range you enter, the postcode you enter. The reasons for each are explained in the policy. This data is stored in the cloud. I don't see why the registration info (I'm just talking about the registration info, not the Blutooth-related data) can't simply be entered later, or stored locally on the device and not uploaded until, when and if, the user volunteers to share their registration info with health authorities, e.g. as a result of being notified that someone that was near them has tested positive for COVID-19. If this info wasn't transmitted as part of setting up the app, I expect the uptake of the Australian COVIDSafe app would be significantly higher.

I am also still waiting for Australia to publish the source code for their COVIDSafe app...

.... As you identified at the end, the correct solution for this problem is a job queue. There is nothing about PHP that prevents the use of a job queue - in fact the shared-nothing, process-per-request model almost encourages the developer to offload as much work as possible to a job queue..

Using Wordpress (or it's plugins) as any kind of reference for what PHP is capable of, is like using McDonalds as the basis for a cook book.

You're not alone. Even functional programmers struggle to read those papers. I found that in the functional programming world there's a lot of concepts being thrown around with different names.

I think your best option is to directly contact authors or very good educators and ask them exactly what they mean.

Maybe you've known it. The people at large did not and now they do. Anti-China policy was often viewed as racist. Don't underestimate the power of common knowledge to influence the political winds.
No one said Google did this for fun. Google appears to prioritize automated systems and bottom line over care for it's customers.

And whether any of your analysis about the customer is accurate is irrelevant and not worth debate here.
From TFA: "was allegedly leaked onto the anonymous forum 4chan"

It's also worth noting that this is not an extract from a technical paper, but from the "Canadian Presbyterian", apparently a Christian journal; and not written by a professional scientist, but "Principal Leich". Someone feels the need to justify including information from such a source by prefacing it with: "Principal Leich seems to be perfectly familiar with mechanical science."

So just keep in mind, what's written does not necessarily represent the scientific consensus, but the opinion of an enthusiastic amateur.

That said, given the explanation of the conservation of energy in the opening paragraphs, I wonder if this the original purpose was actually partly to convince the readers of The Presbyterian, presumably religious people familiar with the Genesis accounts of creation, that "young earth" creationist theories are incorrect: i.e.:

1. If the sun were burning a fuel -- even coal, one of the highest-energy fuels we know* -- it would be less than 5000 years old.

2. If rather the sun is incandescent, then it is at minimum 100 million years old.

3. Either way, 6000 years old doesn't fit.

(* I have no idea if this would have been true in 1863 or not)

I disagree on this definition of derivative. A still frame is still clearly part of the movie, 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.

A derivative work need to use the copyrighted work for what it is.

The hash of a movie is no different that the weight of a printed book or its number of pages, it would be absurd for an author to file a DMCA takedown against all books that weight the same amount of milligrams.
In addition to Sonic Pi, I've also enjoyed experimenting with @neauoire's [0] Orca[1] and @yaxu's [2] TidalCycles[3].

People go this route because they do not understand the potential consequences.

If it were published up front that x% of Google customers will get locked out and lose their business, I think you would see a lot fewer of these stories because Google would get a lot less business.

People just are ignorant of the true risks here.

That's a real solution because the vast majority of iOS users are already using this solution through their inaction (i.e. never installing anything outside of App Store and not adjusting their phones to be able to install anything outside of App Store), and thus are not vulnerable to this exploit.
