> celebrate the mass human sacrifice of the Khmer Rouge killing fields as an inspiring example of class struggle, as MIT professor Noam Chomsky did

This obviously never happened. What Chomsky and Herman instead did was criticizing the media portrayals of the Khmer Rouge vs. the US bombings that took place at the same time, killing 600000 civilians in Cambodia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Freedom_Deal).
The linked paper on limitations of mainstream ISAs for Spectre mitigation is super interesting.
I’ll always support more testing. Software Quality is something I think needs all the help it can get.

I’m not sure why I would use something like this, even if it were available for my language (Swift), when I have a robust testing framework (XCTest).

In the past, my team used to use Google Test for testing C++. It was not as powerful as platform-native frameworks, but did allow us to have cross-platform unit tests.

In any case, I tend to prefer test harnesses over unit tests. I write about that here: https://medium.com/chrismarshallny/testing-harness-vs-unit-4...
My Journey with Scaler Academy: Review by Anuj Bhatnagar
Scaler Anuj Bhatnagar, part of our Scaler Academy's June 2019 batch shares his journey with us, talking about his college days, his decision to switch to software despite coming Electronics background, what was his take on our curriculum, his learnings and interview preparation tips on how he bagged a job offer as an SDE from Samsung.
Then I suggest you keep it turned on on your installations. Thank you!
I get the feeling Alexis felt it was time to move on and this was the perfect opportunity. I know others will disagree with my sentiment but having been apart and then later an observer of the Reddit community I can see why he would want to move on and do so as gracefully as possible.
How to install Docker on Fedora 32 (instead of podman)
Keeping your local GitHub Repo in Sync
A bare installation option would be nice but bundling software with operating systems isn't new. As sad as it may sound Candy Crush is the new 3D Pinball, which you could argue was an "ad" for the full version of Full Tilt! Pinball.

> such a non profit could never pool the financial resources together to hire a team of experts to build a dedicated platform that could rival with the likes of Goodreads.

In fact, they could. A lot of the work on Goodreads has always been done by volunteers – adding new books, fixing bibliographic errors, and deleting certain instances of spam is crowdsourced. If those same volunteers were able to delete obviously spam accounts, than they would do that as well.

That means that only the website’s technology would require skilled staff, but Goodreads’ platform is antiquated and these days what it offers would easily be seen as within the reach of a small team of hackers.

The ultimately difficulty is the decline in reading books in the age of snackable content, and the dwindling interest in standalone review sites. That would make it difficult for any new competitor to grow membership regardless of how solid the site is technically.

> I suspect there are a plenty of small, independent, active communities

I wish. In most of my own hobbies, standalone forums have hollowed out drastically as people moved to Facebook or Reddit, there are no secret Shangri-Las left. Those who remain on the old forums skew heavily towards the elderly, and also the sort of cranks who want to trade zingers or fuel flame wars instead of contribute to on-topic discussion. It is like traveling through one of those many whole regions on earth where all the young people have left to the big city.
So this is 1kHz radio wave (300km wave length), I didn't know they can get that low, what is theoretical limit? One of my favorite explanation of how the now-debunked em-drive supposed to work was that it produces radio waves with such a long wavelengths that it doesn't fit observable universe and that makes it push in one direction.
> I find that imdb ratings have a high (but not 1.0) correlation with me liking the movie

You could track your own personal rating of the movies, then regress these ratings against a variety of external rating sources (IMDB, ebert, etc) to see which is the most predictive.
Even though I have suspected Stig Engström for a while, and so many statements that he been saying are incorrect compared to other witnesses. However, I would argue this is still not enough to guarantee he is the murderer, but only becoming the new prime suspect. But they can't get any further and they state they should have suspected him earlier so they could press him when was alive.

Worst part is the media stated that they had found technical proof and more and that should be released today and that is why they could decide he was the murderer. But all we got is: That is not possible but the story doesn't match up around Stig.
The whole point is that you can't fight the old "full-fledged" OS with a new one. The aim of the Google's web is to reduce the role of the OS to the "BIOS".

Oh he was extremly popular. My parents was in tears when they heard about the murder (from me, I was 8 but I had the radio on in my room). But he was also seen as a traitor by the right. Being outspokenly angry at him was not unusual or extreme at the time.

Edit: This was diffrent times. Lots of people said things like "i wish he was dead" and worse things. Noone called out such talk like we do now. When I starded as aprentice in a factory about 9 years after this there was always threats of violence among workers, people was called racial slurs to their face, women was always "courted" in crude ways. Noone took such things seriously at the time.

> poetry is a great component to any language learning (enhanced by the fact they're often published in dual language version)

Poetry is actually much worse for learning a language than prose is, because the language used in poetry is usually not typical and not uncommonly fairly strained. Any advantage of poetry comes from how much the student enjoys it.

> but it's essential for dead languages.

Why would dead languages be any different in this regard from living ones?

There are always a lot of interesting research projects brought up about what to do with the nuclear waste in the future. But never anything cost effective actually in production yet, and it's not like they haven't hade some decades to get them going. If we can cite <future technolog> as our solution, I suggest that we go with fusion reactors directly.

The main barriers for building new nuclear plants are that they aren't cost effective, so no one wants to invest in them. I'm certain they could be built cheaper without regulations about safety and funds for long term storage of waste. But I don't think we want to go there.

(Your second link directs me to a documentary about Bill Gates. How is that relevant?)
That doesn't fix anything but just pushes the problem further down the road. You are simply not upgrading the python version and running the identical three year old version.

We collectively accepted that titles are supposed to be memetic though.

For instance readability is second to shortness. Accuracy is lower priority to impact. Our whole history with titles points to short and punchy catch copies.

Purely descriptive titles only work when the reader will read the paper anyway (e.g. peer reviewing), which is far from the setting we have on HN.
SMBleed: A New Critical Vulnerability Affects Windows SMB Protocol
You're a bit RAM starved at only 32 GB.

My preferred environment is yours, inverted. Native Linux (likely Ubuntu 20) with Windows in a VM as necessary. That is making much better use of hardware IMO. It also gives you native Docker, and a ton of easily obtainable software. Much new software development is beginning in Linux or Linux-like environments, including most language development.

Perhaps more importantly, Linux is the deployment target for most cloud based software. The company I work with (Fortune 100) uses Linux as the preferred deployment platform simply due to cost, along with sufficient quality. It's nice to develop, test and deploy all on the same infrastructure.

Software turns out to be very interesting in terms of real lifecycle. Here in 2020, COBOL skills are in (relatively) high demand! While I'm interested to see the "Son of Unix", based on something like Rust and completely cleaned up, rationalized, and secured, Linux and Linux skills will be valuable for decades longer. Windows, I'm not so sure about...

My next development system will likely be a 16/32 core/thread AMD chip. I'd hate to hobble it with the Windows kernel, it's really not aimed at that class system. Linux is.
I appreciate the correction. You are partly correct; Chomsky did not in fact celebrate the sacrifices, but rather urged people to doubt their reality, in 1977, at which point doubting them was perhaps more reasonable than it is today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_genocide_denial#Chom...
https://chomsky.info/19770625/

That article was written before the worst of the killings happened in 1978, though it still seems outrageous to me that it blames the bad conditions in Cambodia on US bombings killing water buffalo; Chomsky touts "the destructive American impact on Cambodia and the success of the Cambodian revolutionaries in overcoming it" and describes reports that “virtually everybody saw the consequences of [summary executions] in the form of the corpses of men, women and children rapidly bloating and rotting in the hot sun,” as "fallacious", saying that they "collapse[] under the barest scrutiny".

The US bombings were indeed terrible, but (as the page you link explains) they did not kill anywhere close to the 600k people you claim, and they happened earlier than the Khmer Rouge killing fields, not at the same time.

I have corrected my comment to instead make the more defensible, though still perhaps controvertible, claim that Pol Pot celebrated the sacrifices in that way.
Headline is bad, it's rather "Case is closed because best suspect dead so can't be followed up properly and there are no other suspects".

The mystery isn't "solved". The murderer isn't found. The word "identifies" just means they mention the name of their current prime suspect, but even if he were alive he likely wouldn't be convicted with the evidence that exists. The case is merely "closed".
didn't knew about this one... let me check it and get back to you soon :)

Well then I'd say sure, of course you need cooling. But I'd also guess that you're within <1% of Rpi users who actually need cooling, and I'd guess that's also why Rpi doesn't come with a radiator by default - vast majority of users simply don't need one and it would increase the cost.
>Don’t we buy oscilloscopes, lathe machines, incubators, scientific glass, etc for our student labs?

Of course, because there's a material cost for manufacturing physical things. The marginal cost of "manufacturing" copies of digital information after the information is created the first time is the price of the electrons it takes to perform that copy, so very close to zero.

I think everyone agrees there's a real weight of responsibility on teachers. Some feel that getting students onboard with FOSS is the responsible choice.
Very interesting and useful.

However, does anyone have experience with obtaining RISC-V server hardware on a commercially useful scale, i.e. more than 1pcs? Back when ARM servers where all the rage, there were lots of announcements, but almost never products one could order. Is RISC-V any better in that regard?
No, it is not a red herring. It doesn't matter that it in theory has a lot of energy remaining if there isn't any cost-efficient and safe way to extract it. And the reason we aren't building them is because other forms of energy, including wind, water and sun, are cheaper.
The right next sentence is, "And by now it has proofs about further security properties (which show that the specification has the right properties)".

In particular, they formalized notions of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and proved the specification (hence the source code, hence the binary) satisfies these notions.

Now you can ask whether these notions were formalized correctly. But that's still a LOT better than asking it for binary/source/specification.
I tend to share this sentiment, or at the very least come from a reputable company such as O&O.

I can confirm this. Although I knew the principles of FP, concepts didn't click until I started using a functional language.

In non-FP languages, I didn't originally appreciate the benefits of the pattern. It was more work to do things functionally, so I dismissed some patterns that were actually useful.

I'm a bit biased, but would recommend Elixir as an accessible FP language. It has an accessible syntax and modern tooling.

You may be frustrated with the constraints of immutability for a few weeks, but the benefits become apparent once you're used to it.

Now when I work in non-FP languages like JavaScript, I will apply FP principles when it makes sense.
Regarding microSD card reliability, one option would be to simply forego the microSD card completely and boot the Raspberry Pi 4 via an SSD connected to one of the Raspberry Pi’s USB 3.0 ports.

I was originally going to recommend checking out this¹ article for instructions on how to do it. However, much of the instructions are no longer valid (as of two weeks ago!) since they assume that the Raspberry Pi 4 doesn’t natively support booting from USB, which finally isn’t the case (although only if you use the current beta bootloader²). I’d still recommend reading it though, as it also mentions known working 2.5″ SATA to USB 3.0, M.2 NVMe to USB 3.0, M.2 SATA to USB 3.0, and mSATA to USB 3.0 adapters. In addition, I’d recommend checking out this³ article with some recommended SSDs; in particular, this⁴ 120 GB Kingston A400 SATA 3 2.5” Solid State Drive coupled with this⁵ StarTech 2.5″ SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter, which also has the added bonus of giving you far better speeds than a microSD card would! As the author of that article mentions:

“The Kingston A400 drive performs really well in the Raspberry Pi Storage Benchmarks⁶. It’s a great drive and is cheaper than many mid-range MicroSD cards.

The 2.5″ SATA to USB adapter above allows us to do this. There is no power adapter needed as SSDs are low power and are powered by the Pi through USB.”

Isolcpus Is Deprecated, Kinda
If we're talking about the Western world, and in particular, the politics and culture of class (of which "work being part of people's identity" is a part) then Judeo-Christian influence is the only influence that matters.

And memes like the dignity of labor, the just world fallacy (that wealth and poverty have inherent moral dimensions) and welfare (or leftist/secular ideology) breeding laziness definitely have their basis in Christian influence. I've seen people quote the Bible directly ("If a man will not work, he shall not eat") when criticizing UBI.

The just world fallacy in particular is going to hit people hard. People who believe society owes them safety, stability, a job and a living wage simply because they worked hard and obeyed the law are going to be hit with a rude awakening when they realize how capitalism actually works.
I got tired of trying to make Linux on the desktop happen when XFCE told its users that not being able to resize windows by dragging their borders was "not as much of a usability issue as some suggest". When every Linux desktop complaint gets dismissed with a variant of "you're holding it wrong" a bit of mandatory anonymous telemetry by the alternative doesn't look that wrong.

I spend more time doing my job than almost anything else. Sleeping is the only thing I spend more time doing. It might be healthier if I can avoid attaching so much importance and part of my identity to it, but I don't know how that's possible for me.

Really I see it more of an act of Zen doublethink to believe that your work should not comprise any part of your identity given how central it is to your experience as a human.

The article says it is being fixed. They admitted to making a mistake here. I would cut them some slack rather then running for the hills looking for a fork. Projects make mistakes, they are run by humans after all.

As far as BAT goes, that was what they came up with as an alternative to the ads and to help fund the project.
