Their biggest thing going for them is 100% free dark fiber private network. You do have to pay for the bigger pipe (100mbps included for each server, a minimal upcharge for gigabit), but that's pretty much a rounding error.
Feature suggestion!

Allow two participant types, with separate links to join the same event, and then add the ability to (best effort) match type 1s with type 2s.

So you could use it for (straight) dating, where the types are male and female, or mentoring/office hours where the types are mentor or mentee, or investor or investee, or like “meet an American” where the type a is American and type b is not, etc, etc, etc..

I also assume it tracks who has already been with who and doesn’t match them up again as long as there are other new people left?

I particularly like The Gervais Principle as an explanation of why incompetents are frequently the ones making corporate governance decisions. It's satire, but I think there are elements of truth in it.

The problem here is that there is absolutely zero incentive for YouTube to fix this.

These bots still contribute to their "growth" and "engagement" and user numbers. Some of them might even be real users being paid to participate, which means YouTube is still showing them ads and profiting off them.

We need proper regulations where platforms should be considered complicit of these scams when they fail to remove such content or outright promote it. As it stands, is is absolutely irresponsible from them to let any new account set up a livestream, boost its popularity with fake viewers and the algorithms will do the rest and start recommending it to real viewers.

> "English started out as German."

Full context: "English started out as German. Old English, also called Anglo-Saxon, really is a foreign language, and requires serious study. I don't think an anglophone can learn to read it with mere tricks."

> Can we not do better than this?

Can you just stop copying and pasting things out of context?

> But this is like saying that "Spanish started out as French" or "Romanian started out as Italian"

It's more like saying spanish started as latin given the context.

> English is descendended from the Anglo-Saxon dialects

So english started out as german?

It seems all their external network connections are down. I assume people will have to drive to the data centers to fix. I really want to see a post mortem on this outage.
We have many cores now but memory bandwidth isn't rising as fast. That still makes immutable objects an increasing net loss.

It's just a bad idea.
Curious about how dependencies could be handled. Translating every library used doesn't sound ideal, but replacing with an "equivalent" library for the language wouldn't always (or even usually) work either

I have this hope too, but it’s really energy intensive right now. I also have hope for renewable hydrogen, but we have a lot of research to do to reduce costs.
Unverified. Anonymous. Single-post account.

I really, really want to read and hear candid views from California police officers. But I can't take this in and let it play out on my biases in this form. I definitely can't use it to persuade anyone else, so I don't want to be persuaded by it, consciously or otherwise.

Perhaps it's entirely true and the author found it cathartic to read and publish.
That's funny. I've had the exact same experience with Bluemix at a Hackathon in the past. It was down for almost the entire weekend, screwing all the teams that didn't pivot early enough.
> The New York market has seen a 40 percent uptick in interest for move-outs when compared with last year

"Insane" should probably be taken in context here. A 40% uptick in business year on year is probably pretty huge for a relatively stable industry like moving companies. But if, say, 3% of New Yorkers move out of the city annually and that goes up to 4.2% it's not going to have any dramatic consequences to the city.
I think what you're thinking of is the JavaScript JIT situation. A JIT compiles and executes arbitrary, new, native code at runtime. A regular interpreter doesn't create native code.
I got that Terminator 2 reference
Do you actually have data on that or are you conjecturing? Because I would really love to see data about that if it exists somewhere.
No other country has anywhere near the absolute or per capita number of firearms that the USA has. We own almost half of all civilian firearms, more than 100x the US military, more than every military and law enforcement agency in the world combined[1]. Nor would a forced attempt at disarment be peaceful given our history and attitude towards government infringement.

Moreover, the Supreme Court has already ruled that total ban on firearms in common is unconstitutional[2][3]. Hence why DC and Chicago no longer completely ban handguns. I also don't think the in common use standard will hold since the Supreme Court more recently reiterated "the Second Amendment ex-tends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms"[4]. It is the opinion of some that DC v Heller was watered to get Kennedy on board. Moreover, as California has already argued, you cannot ban something then down the road argue that it's not in common use since the low numbers are artificial.

> To the extent that magazines holding more than 10 rounds may be less common
within California, it would likely be the result of the State long criminalizing the buying,
selling, importing, and manufacturing of these magazines. Saying that large capacity
magazines are uncommon because they have been banned for so long is something of a
tautology. It cannot be used as constitutional support for further banning. See Friedman
v. City of Highland Park, Illinois, 784 F.3d 406, 409 (7th Cir. 2015) (“Yet it would be
absurd to say that the reason why a particular weapon can be banned is that there is a
statute banning it, so that it isn’t commonly used. A law’s existence can’t be the source
of its own constitutional validity.”).[5]

It could be free and still would be vanity because you still need that base-load, for evenings, night, and cloudy days. But solar isn't free. Panels are high-tech devices that require destructive mining for exotic minerals, in addition to massive land-use. Climate change isn't the only problem we have. There's also environmental collapse.

20 years away in perpetuity..just like cold fusion.
Part of it may be our grudging acceptance of bad apples in the police system, like bad apples in organized religion and education. And unfortunately, police brutality has been around for millennia. Our modern police system has been modeled after London's 1829 police force, which they called the Peelers, Because they were organized by Sir Robert Peel. He was so concerned with introducing armed forces into the city and the backlash it may incite that he (1) disarmed the police, and (2) outfitted them in "blue" neutral colors, to make sure it looks nothing like the British red coats.
That was very insightful, thanks !
You're welcome! We knew we were making something that could be impactful, but we really didn't have any idea how much impact it would have, and it's always amazing to hear stories of how it affected players. :)
Yeah; I was far less impressed when I saw the languages in question when I ran across this. Yes, there are extra/fewer bits to consider when translating between these, but fundamentally there is a direct translation possible, that would still be reasonably idiomatic. Translate a Java program to Erlang, though...you have to completely change the design or it's not at all idiomatic. A task scheduler wouldn't rely on a priority queue; it would rely on spinning up a process per task that would sleep until it needs to execute, for instance.
It's time software engineers go pro bono
Hi sneak, I left a comment explaining my journey with CapRover in this HN thread. In there I explained one thing which concerned me was "netdata image in use is spyware #553" which you raised last year.

I haven't yet gone through the discussion but would you mind letting me know if you're satisfied with the outcome? You appeared to be fighting for increased privacy, so thank you.

Also you'll see that in my comment, I raised another issue RE: lack of two factor auth. I'm curious, why do you think single factor auth is fine? Simply because brute force for a 30 char password is not practical on todays hardware? Or is there something I'm missing?
I wonder if the image, video and audio processing software vendors will make of this - I would assume a lot of optimizations are tied to the underlying hardware and written in assembly?

This seems to be a golden opportunity for Adobe pay back in some way what Steve Jobs did to them by not supporting flash on iPhone

There will have to be a post mortem on this. The convention is to be as transparent as possible as to what went wrong. This helps to let current customers know that you found the problem, and have put plans in place to make sure it doesn't happen again.

The purpose of the signalling here is two fold.

1) If convincing enough (with details), you can keep current customers from moving to a competitor.

2) It also lets new customers see how you actually handle a crisis. If they can manage the crisis well enough, then you can point to this instance to prove your technical knowhow to handle their needs.

If they don't tell anything, or aren't transparent, then they can expect a mass exodus of customers.

Shutup10 is the best AIO, most tested tool I have found for Windows 10 that doesn't break stuff.

There's also custom ISO's with binaries and entire product suites removed which may break some stuff that runs on Windows 10 (eg requiring the Store for some games) - but I'm not comfortable with the level of transparency custom ISO's offer, so I don't do this: https://ameliorated.info/

My recommendations is to get a copy of Windows 10 LTSC (which doesn't include Candy Crush etc) and run shutup10 on it for your work environment. It's the least risky option for an every day driver.
Rarely it is a just technical decision, usually money is the reason.

In small and mid size organizations the CSP gave better pricing, or they help with your sales etc

In large organizations - IBM/Oracle bundle their existing products currently being paid for any way, or account managers have great relationships with decision makers , the company already has signed up big multi year deals.

This is not just IBM, it applies to GCP/Azure/AWS as well.

There are essentially 3 flavors of haiku. Gcc2 for beos compatibility, gcc8 32 bit and gcc8 64 bit. LLVM I think can also compile the source but is not an official build as of now. I am a casual lurker so my details should be taken with a grain of salt.
Not GP but I think it's `scratchpad toggle` - scratchpad is the keyword to lookup anyway.
Our dividing line for massive in 1995 was 250, because most LAN play capped at 64, and MUDs achieved up to around 253 (the number of available file descriptors on a standard Linux kernel at the time).

Meridian 59 launched with 250 player capacity. UO launched with around 2800.
As a software engineer with a CS degree who complains about "bad languages", none of that is what matters. Software engineering, as practiced, isn't real engineering.

When people say "actual engineers", they're talking about features like:

* codified best practices for at least 90% of the job (software development does a bit of this, but still precious little, and it's so immature that a lot of codified best practices (e.g. "use OO for everything") are clearly wrong)
* certification, with standards, where it's possible to do a bad enough job that you lose your certification (also true of e.g. doctors or lawyers). that cannot happen in S.E. because there's no certification in the first place.
* jobs with sufficient consequences (e.g. bridges, buildings, electrical work...) are illegal to build without sign-off by a sufficiently senior sufficiently-certified engineer. that isn't the case in S.E., there's no law against a high school student building a site that records PII and then leaks it
* if an engineer signs off on such a job, and is sufficiently negligent in doing so, not only do they lose certification but they can be legally responsible. as far as I know this is in theory just as possible in S.E., but as far as I know has never happened in practice, while it does from time to time happen in other fields
* part of the aforementioned certification is training in questions of law, ethics, and professional liability, whereas most CS students take at most a course on "social consequences" in the hand-wavy abstract, and most "software engineers" didn't do a CS degree anyway

It used to be the case that the word for the super-category here was "professional" (as in "member of a professional association"), but these days people use "professional" just to mean "wears nice clothes and doesn't cuss". Shrug. (btw it's fine that the meaning changed, because a still-older meaning of "profession" is purely religious, so using it for these kinds of training/trades usages is already a "distortion".) But anyway, as I noted above, doctors and lawyers and accountants all share most of these properties, they are far from exclusive to engineers.

I think there are good reasons why software engineering isn't currently real engineering. E.g. civil engineering (one of the oldest types of engineering) muddled along okay without any of these features for thousands of years, and many of these features are effectively impossible in a field as fast-moving (i.e. young) as software. So I'm not necessarily saying that S.E. could reasonably aim for those features in the near future.

But still. Real engineering is a thing, and software engineering isn't real engineering. Yet.
Experimenting.

Tools that make it easier to do experiments are good, I tend to think too much and read too much but the only way to get better at programming is to put your ideas to the test and implement them (starting with simplified versions, i.e. experiments).

Modelling is something I want to get into, alloy and tla+ look like great ways to sketch out higher level ideas.
Yep, super annoying I had to link my customers to a techcrunch page :(
My professional experience tells me that the next question will be who decided for B given Y, then you answer it and then you have a target on your SRE back, I'm afraid. Remember that the trickle-down economics works only when the shit hits the fans and what trickles down is not money.
Take heart, nthnclrk. That side of the Web is not dead.

There are loads of people out there running wacky personal websites on every subject you can imagine. Mine[1], for instance, holds poetry, Chinese translations, a videogame, and an open call for Star Wars fan art.

This can be accomplished, completely generically, by running a Turing machine using fully-homomorphic encryption, and providing only the bootstrap/evaluation key, but not the encryption/decryption keys.

(Note: you have to use a Turing machine rather than some application-specific circuit, or someone can use a circuit-bending attack to tamper with the data.)

Unfortunately, this is infeasible even by FHE standards, and doesn't let the user get an output non-interactively.. might as well run it on your local machine.

But the sorts of things SGX does may one day be doable with only high-powered maths, if we get good functional encryption or program obfuscation.
How long after being rejected should people wait to re-apply?
Lol yes. It's intentional. It stops spam bots from trying to sign up, since we aren't open for signups yet.

But don't worry, you're not the first to mention it. I suppose I should just fix it and deal with the spam like normal.

I liked the unintended effect of cutting down on spam. I guess a lot of spam bots are written on top of standard libraries that reject bad certs. :)

Also, this was ironically a great way to publicly call someone out for a seemingly bad decision without being cruel about it, so props to you!

What a narrow-minded view. The problem is not that null exists, it's that many statically-typed languages don't let you distinguish nullable from non-nullable variables. In the ones that do, null is functionally equivalent to Maybe/Option.

And in languages that lack static types altogether, it's a moot point.

I find the post hard to believe. There's zero evidence any of this is real.
So then your recommendation, really, is to just jump ship, and turn your back on useless pieces of shit, vindictively isolating them, and never looking back.

Don't stand up and fight for what's right. Just turn tail and run, under any circumstances that put you in conflict with leadership and their footguns.

If we speak specifically about IBM Cloud vs AWS, we use the Natural Language Understanding API in IBM Cloud and as far as I know the equivalent AWS offering, Comprehend, doesn't provide named entity disambiguation nor links to knowledge graphs (IBM links to DBpedia).

MS and Google do provide those features though.
They appear within the app to replay, so I would assume so.
Physically? Yes. The trick is finding someone willing to license the X86 IP to make it.
I’d be really annoyed if someone said “I don’t understand this” and immediately jumped to the conclusion of “rewrite it”.

It’s reasonable to assume there are times that complex problems require complex solutions. Saying “this code feels like it could be simpler, have you tried x?” would accomplish the same goal without the aggressive and lazy tone imo.
It has one of (together with QNX Photon) the most beautiful widget look-and-feels I've ever seen. Can I have similar for Qt, Gtk and/or Windows?
I hope this doesn't happen. We've had police forces since ancient Chinese and Persian empires. They are like organized religion and the educational system. Yes, lots of corrupt elements... but distancing from police or defund it is not the answer. Adding resources and reforming them is the answer.
And no, by resources I don't mean more guns... more educations, more checks and balances... that's what we do with bad teachers and priests.

When these sorts of health breaches make the news, I’m reminded of my favorite dataset! The archive of https://ocrportal.hhs.gov/ocr/breach/breach_report.jsf. Hope it’s as interesting to you all as it has been for me :)

This case won’t make it into the database since it doesn’t impact US-based consumers, but in general these kinds of breaches are (tragically) very common, and remarkably well-documented. Ultimately, this page is very convincing evidence for the often-touted idea that your SSN is effectively in the public domain.

The most common errors include sending report-containing emails to the wrong addresses, and leaving networks open with default access credentials.

Ground-Penetrating Radar Reveals Entire Ancient Roman City
My advice: don't waste your time on Upwork or similar platforms.

There's absolutely no way to compete with the infinite supply of so-called "developers" from third-world countries and everyone appears to be an "expert" with 10 years experience in every technology you can imagine. The rating system has been gamed to death so there's no way for a client to tell the good from the bad, and given that a lot of them are non-technical they will fail to spot the red flags and go with the lowest bidder.

There are also horror stories when the platform itself fails to mediate disagreements and steals a freelancer's hard-earned money. I am not sure if this is resolved but as of last year, EU-based VAT-registered freelancers were still unable to work on the platform and abide by the rules because their payment system is unable to handle VAT, so your option is to either eat the VAT yourself or take the payment off the platform and break the rules.

You will overall make more money (more consistently and with less stress) by taking a low-wage job like stacking shelves in supermarkets or doing food deliveries.
I'm quite confident that the canonical book of AT&T x86 assembler does not exist. There is the canonical book of Intel asm (the SDM), the canonical book of AMD asm (the APM), and the almsot canonical book of upcoming Intel asm (the ISE). Sadly, these documents are not generally entirely consistent with each other, but they all agree that the Intel syntax is the syntax.
