History is written by those who care enough to write history. For over a 100 years historiography of the US Civil War was dominated by Southerners and there are plenty of other examples of political losers being most influential in historical memory. Machiavelli ensured Cesar Borgia will live forever by his writing and both of them lost. Sima Qian was castrated.

https://scholars-stage.blogspot.com/2016/11/history-is-writt...

> To restate Sima Qian’s experience in less emotional terms: because he was principled enough to contradict the emperor in the presence of his court, Sima Qian was sentenced to castration. This was a death sentence—any self-respecting man of his day would commit suicide before submitting to the procedure. Everyone expected Sima Qian to do so. But in the end Sima Qian decided to accept the punishment and live the rest of his life in shame, because if he did not he would never finish the history he had started.

> Not every historian has the balls to a challenge despot face-to-face. For despotic Wudi was—the castration of Sima Qian was hardly the most despotic thing Wudi would do before his reign ended. It is but one episode in a string of terrors, one paint-stroke in a portrait of tyranny.

> But who painted the portrait? None other than the grand historian Sima Qian. We remember Wudi as Sima Qian chose to depict him. Had Wudi realized the influence his court astronomer would have on future generations, he might have treated him differently. But Wudi realized none of this. Sima Qian was published brutally and embarrassed publicly. He was a loser.

> But in the end, the loser got his revenge.

Kinda feel you're missing my, admittedly and ashamedly, overly pithy point about "persevering" with this on non-Apple hardware for real life revenue generating work.

Why is .com so far down the list?
I don't know about the latest models, but Intel's CPUs have had overheat throttling and shutdown (known as PROCHOT) since the Pentium II. AMDs of the time didn't, and there's a famous TomsHardware video showing what happens if the heatsink was suddenly removed from one.

It's been my understanding and experience that CPUs will automatically throttle and then completely shut down if they get too hot, so seeing damage mentioned is a little surprising. I've encountered ill-designed laptops which would overheat and shut down if left at the BIOS setup screen for too long because the OEM software (drivers) to control the fans would only be present if the OS was loaded, but that didn't result in any actual damage.

Why You Should Stop Reading the News
I'm always surprised that Java is actually younger than Python, and is as old as Ruby.

Hell even JavaScript is just 9 months younger than Java (both born in 1995).
I use AdGuard, mostly because it’s free and the desktop version has a decent reputation. Works well.
The Emishi [1], another native population, were featured in Hayao Miyazaki's classic, Princess Mononoke. One of the main characters, Ashitaka, was Emishi.

>> What's wrong with just cupping up the water in your hands and licking it up like a cat?

This one's obvious; your tongue can't hold water the way a cat's does. Humans everywhere can cup water in their hands, but they suck it up rather than trying futilely to lick it up. I feel comfortable generalizing this into the past.
Any recommendations on the block list(s) to use? I just realized I totally missed this config in NextDNS so cheers for clueing me in
Ah you're right- your comment was the one that started it, not repeated it. Sorry I mixed those two up.

The GP used the term "pro-Western" because the parent comment had used it. That's not the same thing at all. In any case, I don't see that as an ethnic attack. Extracting part of someone's username because it sounds Chinese and flinging it back at them in an argument about China seems altogether more aggressive.

Not really sure how to reply to the other points. I confess I pulled the number 99 out of...someplace non-quantitative, but at the same time I'm certain that it's far fewer than 1% of users whom we've had to ask three times not to do personal attacks on HN. Is it bias? Not sure how to know that. But it's certainly not personal bias against you.
RethinkDB is a better solution to every problem that MongoDB claims to solve. I wouldn't use it for everything. But once my need for a document store outgrows what's convenient and easy in Postgres with JSONB, I reach for Rethink. It's great. There's a Jepsen analysis of it a while back too that is quite positive.

It's a shame that Rethink did so many things right and failed as a company while Mongo continues to do almost everything wrong as a company and still gets business.
It should also be pointed out that the one thing you're ruling out is that they have the same distribution.

In particular it only provides weak evidence that the mean, mode, median of A is any faster than B's. In the worst case A happens to be a lot slower than B, but with very low probability.
So you’re saying it should have better performance than go?
> So, Geocities? I agree, let's bring that back

I'm pretty sure that kyledrake already accomplished that the best way it's going to be accomplished with neocities.

part of what the grandparent described reminds me more of webrings, perhaps more contextualized, along with the more centralized link aggregators. I think that ultimately the internet got too large and complex for the latter, and possibly too large for the former.

which leaves us with conclaves:

* "the dark web"

* facebook

* medium

* slack/discord (community oriented, not work oriented)

* reddit

* and in its own way, hn

curation seems to have been replaced with algorithms and machine learning, but the scale has forced it.
No. Different chip.
I absolutely support people's right to jailbreak devices they own and over the years I've jailbroken my phone or ipad for one reason or another.

Having said that, unless there's something specific you're looking for, it's not really worth the effort these days and has potential downsides.

The biggest downside is that you might find some existing apps on your phone can detect that the phone is jailbroken and refuse to start. There are obvious security reasons for apps like banking apps to do this but also many online gaming apps won't run if they detect that the device is jailbroken in order to deter cheating.

There's an ongoing arms-race between app developers and jailbreakers where jailbreakers try to avoid detection and app developers find new ways to detect jailbreaks. So a new jailbreak will probably not be detected until a few weeks or months later when the app is updated.

Source: I used to work for a company that makes phone software that needs to be secure and so would attempt to detect jailbreaks.
> Care homes, for example, should be dealt with via paying the staff much higher salaries and having them stay on-site, effectively 'sealing off' the care home and creating an isolated unit.

That's not feasible. Those people have families, too.

They can't even realistically do this with the NBA and associated support staff, and that's a hell of a lot fewer people than vulnerable/old people and their support staff.

I, too, wish it were that easy, but it's simply not.
Thought it might've been JavaScript with the S mistakenly capitalized, but I'm sure there are lots of other languages with Array.Sort's
Kudos to your guys!
You definitely don't need too! Charles Proxy is really impressive on iOS.
There's nothing stopping people except the time and effort required. For fontconfig and some other nice to have programs (X itself builds fine) you need to either patch them or modify the SDK you're building against to remove the compiler attributes. Apple won't allow the latter on the app store, and the former would be a significant amount of work.

There are terminal emulators and X servers on the app store now, but the problem is the limitations of the sandbox and performance. Alpine and an X server can be run on Qemu, but performance is far better with the native server.

And, Swift Playgrounds is an Apple product. They don't hold themselves to the same limitations as 3rd party app developers.
I’ve had an iPad that’s been locked for at least a year (forgot pin) and I don’t have a computer that runs iTunes to plug it in to and unlock it. Would this get past that?

Content.

They have every advantage... except this one blog you like because it is written by someone you like hearing from. Adam Cadre has good content, Rachel By The Bay has good content, Bruce Schneier has good content, and none of them post primarily on Reddit or Facebook or Twitter. So you go to their blogs, and read them, and go to blogs they link to, and so forth.
I worked at a small company (less than 40 people in US and less than 30 offshore and 10 in Europe).

I uploaded my resume to a job site. Within a week I was called to meet the HR. They asked me why I was looking for a job and if I was unhappy here. I told them I was happy (obviously, I don't want to lose my job) They told me they won't inform the CEO because it would upset him and it was never brought up again.

I worked for a while and then had to leave. The place was toxic for me.

It really makes sense for small companies to monitor their employees because they can't afford to have people quit willy nilly. So, definitely, I am 100% sure they have monitoring software which detects employee search results.

A sudden TripleByte search result showing up on Google is definitely a red flag that the HR would notice.

Having said this. I would say TripleByte wanting to award badges and making profiles public is definitely a mistake on their part. I doubt they have malicious intent. They just did not think through all the consequences with this move.

Nobody want to lose their job in the middle of the pandemic. Bad move on their part for sure.
iOS has PF, just like the base macOS. No UI, but it works if you just create your PF rules and OS fingerprint files, then create the launchd config: https://gist.github.com/pwnsdx/cc82feb97f451f26c24b
Isn't a theoretical large reason for jailbreaking (not your main phone) to be able to read the contents of all installed apps, say, via SSH? I don't know of another way to do this.
I think this is a prevalent culture in US. Individual freedom right trumps any kind of community right/effort.
Luckily most of those companies are doing very poorly right now. It's a bad time to be anywhere near extracted hemp. Biomass is too cheap. Extraction capital infrastructure was over built for the demand. The hype is passing for bs products that are little more than a placebo.
It is hard to understand before noticing it is part 5 of a series, and going back to read part 1. Part 1 sets the stage far better:

> if you join me in this rather long journey, we’ll end up with a replacement function for Array.Sort, written in pure C# that outperforms CoreCLR’s C++2 code by a factor north of 10x on most modern Intel CPUs, and north of 11x on my laptop.

You need to read the earlier parts to have any clue what on earth a "DoublePumpJedi" might refer to in this context.

My understanding is that the six foot distance is based on the expected air speed of a cough/sneeze and distribution of droplet sizes in a cough/sneeze. Given these two factors you can calculate how far droplets are expected to travel from a cough before hitting the ground.
While raw cannabis has some % of THC and CDB (among other compounds) it is the processed stuff like hashish or oils that really hold the crown for potency. This stuff has been around for a long time, much longer than the westernized commercial strains.
This probably needs some context ... C at the time was still developing, lots of stuff was optional, parameters were int if you didn't define their type. V6 unix was a decade old and already wouldn't compile on K&R compilers, struct became genuinely unique types (requiring the creation of union, because struct could no longer be tweaked to do the same thing).

This was written at the end of that period where most people had an understanding of 'how it should be', while others were still using some of the older idiom ....
Amazon is already running something similar with Prime Video Direct by allowing independent filmmakers to upload content (including a revenue split with Amazon).

Indeed, I bought some Amplified Farms Super Sour Diesel at Green Cross SF a couple of months ago; this is a sativa with 39.2% THC. When I checked their website again recently they had the same strain with a bit less potency, but I recall it was still 35-36%.

I have bought lower potency flowers when they were on sale at a good price, but I prefer the stronger stuff since I can use that much less of it.

BTW, isn't it interesting that we can talk about this in public now? It sure is different from decades in the past where we had to use code words on phone calls.

The code word in my circles was "programmer's fuel"!

I love Rez too. On a work trip to Tokyo I look a day off to see the sights and went to the Sony building. On one floor, I was beckoned to sit in a chair and take a rumble pack and controller and play Rez, which I'd never heard of. I had no idea what was going on at first but it was such a great experience! You can bet I bought Rez when I got home from that trip!

Rez Infinite in VR is seriously good too!

The purpose of the quarantine was to prevent the hospitals from being overwhelmed, right? In my state we now have more than enough resources. Why are we still locked down as if it were day 1? I really don't get it at all.
Is there a way to temporarily disable the jailbreak, then open/use the banking app, then re-enable jailbreak? Even if it required a reboot I'd be okay with it.
> "Another reason we use assembly over a high-level language is to use instructions that C or C++ cannot really use. For example, the advanced vector extensions (AVX) for an Intel processor don’t have a 1-to-1 conversion from C."

This might be beyond the scope of the article, but it may be worth noting https://ispc.github.io/, which is a C language extension and accompanying (LLVM-frontend) compiler. ISPC exposes an SPMD programming model that efficiently maps to the CPU's vector lanes (think CUDA kernels, but running on those vector lanes instead of a GPU). Except for a few new keywords and some library functions, it is almost identical to C and has C linkage.

It's so early in this work that you might be the first person asking those specific questions. I'm no expert but I take it by VLSI you mean doing circuit routing and simulation and optimizing that topology. My gut tells me those would be good fits for the GraphBLAS.

If the base types don't suit your needs, you can always make your own. Tim Davis has talked about how he's made new types that are small nxn matrices as elements of a larger matrix. You can have complex, quaternion, or complex bags of stuff as matrix elements as long as you define the operators you need to work on those types.

Here's an example of using User Defined Types for a shortest path algorithm that also stores backlinks along the shortest path so the shortest path tree is materialized. in Python:

I'm going to ignore the snark and pretend as though this is a good faith argument, because we're on Hacker News - and I believe that means you're a smart person I might disagree with, and I'm challenging you.

I want to understand why being in a high-speed steel/plastic box with humans (overrated in some views) controlled by a computer scares you so much. Is it primal or are you working off data I do not have? Please share. I am being 100% sincere - I need to understand your perspective.

To re-state in brief: (individual) autonomous self-driving tech today tests "as safe as" ranging to "2-10x safer" than a typical human driver. This statistic will likely improve reliably over the next 5-10 years.

However, I am talking about an entire societal mesh network infrastructure of cars, communicating in real-time with each other and making decisions as a hive. As the ratio flips quickly from humans to machines, I absolutely belive that you would have to be quantifiably unsane to want to continue endangering the lives of yourself, your loved ones and the people in your community by continuing to believe that you have more eyes, better reaction and can see further ahead than a mesh of AIs that are constantly improving.

So yeah... I don't understand your skepticism. Help me.
I agree, maybe the DoJ should ask why it is so hard to make an extension? A little pressure would act against the forces that make them decide when in doubt, shut down extension.
While I agree that news often doesn’t make you feel particularly good about the world, I do wonder how you balance the need to keep people accountable. For example, wouldn’t the complete lack of attention enable politicians and other influential people to act more irresponsibly, without much backlash? While it may help each individual with their “inner zen”, there’s a sense of social responsibility to staying informed.

I like a stronger strain because I can use less of it. My PAX 3 vaporizer has two different covers for the oven, one that works with .15-.2 grams of flower, the other with .3 grams or more.

With a more potent product, I can use the first cover and get the same effect with much less vegetable material.

The short answer is sometimes yes sometimes no. Some jailbreaking detection works by attempting things that wouldn't succeed on a non-jailbroken device and some detection works by looking for signs of specific jailbreaks. It's a real cat-and-mouse game.
