What I haven't seen is an analysis of how long it'll take for the temperature to rise enough for the permafrost to be entirely thawed. The freeze/thaw cycle wrecks havoc on infrastructure and buildings.

Bringing infrastructure to these newly suitable lands will be a massive engineering challenge.

The point the person arguing with you is making, is that you'd actually have to sue for this kind of infringement, not use a DMCA takedown notice for it. The suit would like be valid! But that doesn't mean that a DMCA takedown notice upon the same 'premise' is valid. DMCA takedown notices are a sort of pre-trial motion, used only for a very specific "obvious" kind of infringement, to take it down in advance of suit. For everything else, you have to actually sue—and actually win—in order to get something taken down.

As well, DMCA takedown notices are only supposed to act to take down the relevant content, in the case where the recipient of the notice (i.e. the user of the hosting provider) doesn't respond/contest the notice. The spirit of this is that the takedown notice is only supposed to apply where there is no doubt, no argument, around the copyright-infringing status of the work. If anyone has doubts—the user receiving the claim, the hosting provider themselves, etc.—then legal due process is required, rather than summary judgement.

It's interesting that Mr. Bray is declining to post comments on his site that are even slightly constructively critical of some of the things he's advocating for in this post. (Can anyone find a non-congratulatory or even slightly critical comment below his post on his site? Did I miss one?)

He has every right to filter negative comments, but it makes me not want to read his site further if all he does is post non-contrary opinions.
The last Mission Impossible film cost $178 million, and SpaceX is reportedly charging $55 million per seat for a Dragon launch, so definitely affordable. Just need a good story.

Yeah, I loved 120 Minutes. I miss these little gems that would pop into my life unexpectedly. That was one of the joys of radio in the 80s, too, before it all became corporatized. So many small programs on small radio stations at random times of the day or night.

When I was a kid, we would often make the 8-hour trip from our home to my grandparents home a few states over. I would bring my cheap-o Walkman ripoff and just go up and down the dial as we drove looking for something interesting to listen to. I'd find some cool station in some moderately sized town we were driving through and listen for 30 or 60 minutes until we were out of range, then start hunting again. I'd hear all kinds of things: pop (of course), reggae, Gregorian chants, punk, metal, gospel, afro-pop, you name it! So much fun. Kind of like the Internet in the early to mid 90s. It was a great way to discover stuff that isn't really matched by all the algorithms and funneling that goes on today.
>In May 2020, it was revealed that while researching his cybercrime book Crime Dot Com, investigative journalist Geoff White had found Onel de Guzman working at a mobile phone repair stall in Manila. De Guzman admitted creating and releasing the virus. He claimed he had initially developed it to steal Internet access passwords, since he could not afford to pay for access. He said that Michael Buen, who had also fallen under suspicion during the investigation, had nothing to do with the virus' creation.

Fascinating. Is this why you posted this, OP?

Back then I had an old SPARCstation as a second computer with Debian, running INN (a Usenet news server) and Exim (mail server), both fed by UUCP over TCP.

That was long after UUCP was used seriously, but a few hobbyists still used it for fun.

Batches arrived, were decompressed and fed into Exim and INN.

That day (and the following days), batches were not decompressed before the next ones arrived. System load was through the roof.

I had never implemented or even thought about real load handling and queuing, because why should I? My few hundred kilobytes (or maybe a megabyte?) of mails and news every half hour were decompressed pretty much instantly. Until that day.

I wholeheartedly disagree. The president doesn't lose his right to free speech because of his job or how much influence he has. There is a clear distinction between criticizing the practices of an institution versus criticizing its existence categorically.

A lot of people are purposefully blurring the lines here and it's really dangerous. The same argument could be used to say that the press has undue influence, and should therefore be regulated in what it is able to say or how it is able to report.

The press in America has the same freedom of speech as individuals do: near unlimited. They come together. If you start picking and choosing, free speech is no longer a right.

While nature vs nurture is fun to speculate on, when raised in criticism of another's work it is usually only speculation and otherwise unproductive. Also often ignored is that they are somewhat conflated insofar as people's nature creates environments that then (not independently) nurture.
Ah right, I didn’t even check to see the station. My larger point is there are many many stations that look just like that during rush hour.
There's no way that it will reach 1-2 million.

My guess is that it will be the same thing like swine flu 10 years ago. The media will print out a sensationalized number, and the real numbers will end up being 10x fewer when calculated honestly.
It was also just one guy, I think.
I can’t wrap my head around this kind of hate towards the Apple/Google contact tracing. If Apple or Google wanted to track your location they would just do it using the GPS on your phone. Short of getting rid of your phone there would be nothing you could do to stop it. If they wanted to allow specific apps to track your location they would just give those apps access to your location in the background.

It seems like the governments, that you seem to trust, would much rather take that much simpler approach. Instead we have these two companies building a system that is more restrictive than location services in every way.

If you own a phone you are already trusting Apple, Google, or both. Let’s not pretend otherwise. The contact tracing system just means you don’t also need to trust the government or what ever entity is building contact tracing apps.
Thousand times this. I grew up in USSR, and was tuning to Voice of America and Radio Liberty to keep myself informed. I moved to US not so far ago, and current state of mainstream media here is so much reminds me of Pravda, Trud and Izvestia newspapers, along with countrywide and regional TV channels. Damn shame, especially when you consider VoA and Radio Liberty are state-sponsored and state-controlled

> I'm making a humble request, please do not bring this attitude in open source projects. Really I mean it. It's not helpful and it only makes people angry.

I respect your position but I disagree. Projects shying away from criticism in the name of inclusiveness has gone hand in hand with a drop in quality, not just in terms of unwise rewrites but in terms of plain old bad/buggy code - which should not be surprising.

> You are also misinterpreting the behavior of Mr. Torvalds and confusing things.

My point is that Torvalds - historically - used language on the level of "incompetent vandals" freely where appropriate. In a serious software project people are, and should be, willing to state those kind of views very clearly and directly.

> The kernel developers have actually been some of the most adamant about rewriting major parts of the kernel and breaking internal APIs over and over again (not syscalls)

They have; at the same time they've been adamant about the need to avoid regressions, both in terms of maintaining external interfaces and in not ripping things out before a replacement offers feature parity and there's a reasonable migration plan in place. The bottom line is that they caused nowhere near the level of user-facing breakage that the systemd/gnome folks have, and that speaks to higher standards and better judgement.

A lot of people would take that for what it is, orders and not like it at all. In the military diplomacy is not so strongly needed as there is a clear chain of command. Things are not so set in the corporate world.
Yeah, but a lot of people have had covid-19 so there's nothing strange in wondering that.
I've used iOS for over a decade without needing to install apps outside of the app store. I would guess that the vast majority of iOS users share that experience. I understand you might be frustrated by those limitations, but to say "hold off on this until it's fixed" seems pretty reasonable.

It's pretty ironic to hear a complaint about the walled garden, when the only apparent way to solve this "0day" is probably going to be to put up another wall.
I think by design they're not meant to be associated with a single user. A hospital would publish all id's of users that have found positive with covid and each other individual user's themselves will see if they have been in contact recently with one since they have saved all id's they've seen recently
Many from here probably also know it from Netflix's "The Goop Lab With Gwyneth Paltrow" and the associated commentary the site has had about it in a few threads.
After trying a few to get a handle on things, I decided to make guesses based solely on if the sentence makes coherent sense. I judged 14 quotes before getting a repeat, having gotten 13 wrong and only 1 right.

Now, if it was 50/50, I'd have said they're just as coherent. But it's 13:1 which suggests to me that there is a bias here. I think the authors intentionally selected quotes which make the least sense out of context to be the Goop quotes and cherry picked GPT2 quotes that happened to sound the most sense without any context. This is supported by the fact that I only had to go through 14 quotes before it started repeating.

If that's the case, and I suspect it is, it's not really dishonest per se, but it is at least sensationalist and potentially misleading. It's asking you to draw conclusions by having you participate in an experiment where it has its thumb on the scales.
One of the depressing things I notice as I get older is that no-one reads anything. If it's not in the first sentence (or, for some people, last sentence) it is ignored. So I write 1 line emails. It's on HN too ofcourse; people respond to the first sentence without reading the rest, missing every and all nuance. Great stuff.

Did you ever stop to think that everyone else isn't stupid and we have rejected that strategy for a reason?

It was concluded that letting it "wash over us" would cost 2 million lives in the US and might not result in any sort of herd immunity. Why would we kill millions "if there is even a chance" of acquiring herd immunity. Why wouldn't we find out first?

How about instead we work to minimize deaths while we work on effective treatments and in the future vaccinations. Imagine that letting it run free and infecting 60% of the population over months and killing 1% and losing 2 million or 1 million if the true IFR is 0.5%.

Imagine keeping the infection down to 10% until we find effective therapies that reduce death rate to 1/10 of 1% and losing only 300k-400k instead of 1-2 million.

Imagine we ship an effective vaccine next year and instead keep our total fatalities to 200k instead.

I don't want to sacrifice 600k-1.2M additional people's lives to your desire to just get it over with.

The single most important thing IMHO is to get the basics right

For context, I have a PhD in theoretical computer science and a master in mathematics. I've been teaching mathematics for several years ranging from high school to university.

The biggest problem for students, especially at the university level, is that they don't have the basics down. If you are not fluid in fractions and manipulating equations, you can't focus on the important part of learning induction proofs. This is just one example, but the return on investment on getting the basics down is huge.

For each new subject, you need to take the prerequisites serious. If you can't read a new definition and focus only on the new part, you should go back. The is of course very time consuming if you are missing a lot of prerequisites but if you want to get good, this is the way.

A well planned program will do this for you to some degree but the reason most people struggle is that they don't take prerequisites seriously or simple haven't learned them probably. You should be able to solve exercises in each prerequisite subject to a fairly good degree before tackling the next.

For anybody starting or doing university level mathematics I suggest your start refreshing pre-uni. Make sure you have fractions, linear and quadratic equations, exponentiation and logorithms and basic properties of functions are really down. If you have time, it can be very beneficial for pure mathematics to start out with some formal logic and natural deduction to really understand the way mathematicians reason in proofs and definitions.

Finally, ask all the stupid questions. Nobody, except yourself maybe, care if you misunderstood a basic point and got something wrong because of it. If "you just don't get" something, there is a high chance you missed something. If you don't understand the answer, same thing applies. Mathematics should be, if done properly, straight forward.

It's a generic interview, some general ideas on software engineering and Rails maintenance. Probably a good watch if you enjoy DHH's views on software and work.

You can still sue the developers to pieces even if the project lives on.
I'm not sure it's even possible for a nicotine company to stay successful for very long without a big lobbying effort. As soon as they're a big enough brand, they become a juicy target for political interference from the usual bootleggers-and-baptists combo of anti-tobacco activists and competing tobacco companies.
I did a similar comparison a few years ago and had a very similar list and came to the same conclusion (about $500 more for the Apple, but it was probably worth it in known reliability and resale). The only thing I would have added was that Apple's camera quality hasn't improved in 10+ years, which sucks if you're working remote (hopefully now everyone notices this).

A lot of the hardware things I liked about Mac laptops got stripped off (MagSafe, charging indicator, SD card slot).

I imagine everything else is up to personal workflow. My wife was looking at another Mac laptop because she wanted to transition GarageBand projects from her iPad. Since, in practice, the files often crash when doing this and she has to export/import that workflow is useless and she's looking at a Windows laptop.

I'd be curious what kind of things you would put on your list.

Humans choose first, rationalize later. Humans are bad at explaining why they made their choices but they have a narrative.

I wonder if they picked pronouns for the planets in accordance with the associated gods of Greco-Roman mythology? IIRC, the Greco-Roman sun gods were all male (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helios).

If I'm correct they'd use male pronouns for the sun, Mars, and Jupiter; and female pronouns for Earth, the Moon (Luna), and Venus.

It's all make believe and facade. As naive as this sounds, we have to separate our work time and personal time. I don't know if that means we should have dual personalities akin to having different themes/profiles on phones, or we should have a clear separation of activities, but without one, is what leads to OPs path, and I have been there.
I don't have any specific project in mind. This was a call to kickstarting something with other programmers.
HAMT's probably weren't all that interesting because their main benefit over other mutable hashmaps was reduced worst-case scaling (no need to re-hash all keys to fit a larger underlying array), and reduced memory use at the cost of slower access times. I believe Clojure was the first language to use them as an _immutable_ hash map, and HAMT was picked specifically for performance. Transients didn't come until later (1.1.0?), and transients doesn't draw any specific benefit from a HAMT, it would have the same effect on any other datastructure.

Clojure also made use of the underlying HAMT data structure for vectors (skip hashing and use the index as a key).

I believe red-black trees was the state of the art immutable datastructure at the time, and HAMTs are much faster. Using two levels of a HAMT you can store 1024 elements, the similar number of levels required for a red-black tree is 10 if I'm not mistaken. HAMT also doesn't require rebalancing.
