On the contrary, people thought the iPhone not supporting Flash would make it a non-starter and give Android a huge leg up. Flash was viewed not as languishing but as a fundamental requirement.
Kids will be kids. I certainly spent more time playing games than was good for me.

I just want to give em the exposure. What they do with it is up to them. My dad tried to show me basic shop skills. It wasn't meant to be. I almost wish he forced me now. It would have come in handy.
>It must be emphasised that if any single CA is breached, then all of TLS breaks. It doesn’t matter what CA you used for your website, it only matters what CA your attacker uses.

How is that possible? If a CA is breached, doesn't that just mean it can create certs impersonating other sites? How does that break all of TLS?
The only troublesome browser is basically Internet Explorer. And even Microsoft threw in the towel on that. Edge wasn't bad, but now even it is simply Chrome in Edge clothing. There are other WebKit based browsers (eg, Safari) which are not based on Chrome or rather Chromium.

In practice, I rarely have any trouble in recent years with browser compatibility.
I don't think so - the decision which media to use is linked to a lot of factors (type of database, amount&size of data written/read, type of filesystem, costs, durability, expectations, etc...).
The price of Bitcoin went up so much after the bankruptcy of Mt. Gox that the few bitcoins that were recovered were enough to pay off all their creditors (debts in bankruptcy are denominated in yen or dollars, not Bitcoin) and have a profit left over.

> This was once a somewhat stronger (political) norm that has fallen by the wayside as the nation has grown more bitterly divided.

Just a thought: what if the nation's divide comes from companies taking more political stances, instead of the opposite? As an example to entertain the thought, when Nike takes a political position through their advertising on social platforms, people react to it by taking side. If done at a scale big enough, with enough companies pushing their customers to take a side, would that be enough to result in visible divide in the country?
> There are tons of republicans and libertarians in tech, but in the average office, you wouldn't know that given how effectively such people have been silenced for fear of being accused of thoughtcrime and heresy

Have they tried growing as people to not be so horrid that people would recoil if they knew what was really inside their heads?

Load times were terrible. Time makes you forget the bad and glorify the good.
It is not just ZFS edge cases seeing issues, ZFS was just the bell weather.

Synology does not use ZFS at all, and they are seeing issues

Also ZFS being an "edge case" is not going to be true long term as alot of SMB and Home NAS vendors (the very customers the WD Red Line targets) are starting to use ZFS on Linux more and more
I always love new whizbang browser features. But I avoid them until they are common enough in the end user base that I can actually expect to be able to use those new features.

Now modern browsers that are self updating is a huge help.

“Almost all websites used flash video” que? Most websites don’t use video at all, neither then or now.
> It Was Rock-Solid Stable, Unlike Windows Me.

Under Windows NT, each process runs w/ its own LDT (Local Descriptor Table). Process memory bounds are enforced by the processor MMU.

Windows 95, 98, Me, used a single shared LDT, for better backwards compatibility, but with far less protection. I believe I've got this right, but happy to be corrected.

The sad thing about this, is just how long Windows users had to suck it up (5 years!?), until 2K finally came along, pushed as a consumer OS.
My day job relies heavily on Amazon Redshift. Most of our fact tables are sorted by date and almost always a locale.

I wrote a Python script to delete the stale records based on that time key. We have a separate vacuum service that cleans up the mess continuously.

Is this considered a time series database? Or is there something a dedicated time series database does differently?
Where is GitHub's announcement about this? (Does it exist?) I can't find anything on this and I'd like to know more about what exactly is going to go down.

Didn't change on mobile. Colemak explicitly says it doesn't make sense for a thumb-based layout, because it's optimized for touch typing. Never had any issues, probably because thumb-memory is different.
My uninformed guess:

Following the link to SO, from there the link to RWT, and from there the link to the previous page in the review, it mentions "The new port 6 on Haswell is a scalar integer port. It only accesses the GPRs and the integer bypass network." which makes me think that the "not enough space on the die" might not refer to the space for the Port 7 Store AGU itself, but to the resources it uses. The address modes with the index register need to read two registers, while allowing only "base+offset" means it only has to read one register. I don't know how expensive an extra read connection to the integer bypass network would be, but I have read that read ports for the register file are expensive, to the point where having two identical copies of the register file (written in parallel) to reduce the number of read ports per copy can be considered a valid optimization. So the "not enough space" might also be for the register file (AFAIK register files use a lot of area, which is why RISC-V has a variant with half the number of registers for some embedded use cases) or its connections.
Genuine question: if Flash weren't a security nightmare, would it be a better environment for producing games and dynamic content than what we have today? I've never done anything in Flash.
I've been researching getting a mobile "phone" that is only ever used as a hotspot for an iPod touch which runs (1) an always-on VPN and (2) apps for SMS and VoIP voice calls. So in a way, phone that can't do voice calls sounds like a good thing to me.
The question is: will Substack continue to be better than Medium, or are they just temporarily better than Medium because they haven't been around long enough to have to face some of the medium-run (no pun intended) challenges that made Medium what it is today?
FWIW, my kids play some Fortnite and Minecraft. They build some elaborate logic stuff with Redstone.

Depends on workload of course, but my buddy has used 8x Seagate Archive drives (which were the first SMRs) in a ZFS-based media/file server for years without issue.

If any new disk you replace it with is non-SMR, then you shoud be good as far as I can see.
It appears to be only T-Mobile that is down presently (https://twitter.com/NevilleRay/status/1272624569707184128), likely that those making calls to T-Mobile phones are representing outages on their networks.
Whatever is the source, I really hope it's not malicious. The US is vulnerable.
This must clearly be an oversight, since "good people"—one would hope—think about how their words and actions might impact others, and work to address those impacts in an open and vulnerable way free from judgment.

I'm sure they just can't edit the post because it's been too long.
Ask HN: Is there a way to stop Google hijacking the URL?
On many pages I visit now, clicking on a search result from google takes me to

https://someurl.tld/page-I-want/#:~:text=Text%20I%20never%20asked%20for

where the appended portion is the text fragment that shows up in Google's search result under the URL. It's incredibly annoying as I'm having to suddenly hand-sanitize every URL if I get it from Google. I use other search engines like DDG where possible but it's not always possible or practical.
Perhaps incidents like these will increase the popularity of amateur radio. I'm curious if there's any studies on the potential impacts of the US carriers begin down for a day or a week or more.
>lack of contrast between controls is very annoying. That 'flat' look is a pain. Can I or can I not click on this?

Vs code. How many seconds does it take to figure out the active code tab?
> it’s not extreme / superlative in any dimension. If you want raw performance ... good at all of those things... but

I guess the selling point is that being good at many things means you don't have to keep switching between all these languages, or glueing them together. Others have mentioned the composability benefits of this. But it also has a learning advantage, I think. You can incrementally learn to speed up the crucial piece of something. You can learn just enough metaprogramming to solve some problem you have.
My anecdotal evidence, based on a fairly small (16TB) pool for personal use such as backups and media, is that the _Seagate_ SMR drives are fine.

I've done multiple resilvers and they're definitely slower than conventional drives at that task, but the main issue people are seeing with WD drives is that in certain cases the drives take multiple seconds to respond to an ATA command, making the system think the drive is defective. The Seagate drives don't seem to suffer from this problem. There's lots of documentation out there on people using Seagate "Archive" drives in NAS's as well.. these were some of the earliest SMR drives and were on the market before the tech became more mainstream. Their results seem to align with what I'm seeing even though mine are branded "Barracuda Compute."

So while I wouldn't be using _any_ SMR drives for a production workload, I'm perfectly happy with the 8TB Seagate SMR drives I picked up for $185 CAD each for my home use.
In that case they probably should quit and join a different company. I mean, if they don't agree with the core function of their job, why are they working there?

Regardless, if enough people think it is wrong that the company goes out of business, so be it. I don't think that is likely, but ok. Automation is going to continue to happen no matter what.

To use a coding analogy, it's as if you're telling me what a piece of code does by reading the comments. I'm reading the actual code, and telling you that the comments next to it are out-of-date—they no longer describe the code. To prove that the code does what I say it does, I'm running it (c.f. today's Supreme Court decision) and showing you the results. Yet you are not convinced.

That the Supreme Court creates policy today that Congress cannot is obvious to everyone on both the left and right. The left is overjoyed at the increase in protections for disadvantaged people, the right dismayed that the left isn't using the "right" process to get those protections. The documentation (Constitution) says the Supreme Court shouldn't be making these policies…but when we run the code, like today, that's what happens. The code doesn't match the comments.

It would be great if the comments matched the code, but that's not reality today—and hasn't been for at least the last 70 years. Many (most?) people are okay with this apparent contradiction, so long as good as being done, but it appears to bother you (and most people on the right).

I 100% agree that in a perfect world, the Constitution should be updated if the courts are going to make these kinds of policies, but I also think that's extremely unlikely since Congress has zero interest in doing so, and Civil Rights legislation is so broad that there's no need anyway: the courts can just say, like they did today, that it's actually Congress who made this policy (even though everyone knows Congress did no such thing). Since apparently muttering the correct words is sufficient to satisfy people on the right, despite all evidence to the contrary, why change things?
These are _not_ geostationary orbits. Starlink's network is of a fast/low/hand-off variety rather than a high/stationary/single-satellite->communications variety.

Their satellites are MUCH closer and are constantly whizzing across the horizon (and so require a motorized antenna) than the transitional geostationary communications satellites. This would require a huge number of satellites to get full-sky-coverage, but that's exactly what Starlink is doing.

1) Speed of light in space is faster than speed of light in a fiber optic cable...

2) And the number of hops in the void of space could be MANY fewer than from city to city to ocean to city.
I've been thinking about this, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's a good choice for certain classes of closed source apps. For example, I'm building a video game, and I'm going to distribute it through Steam. The Linux version is going to be an appimage to guarantee maximum compatibility. Flatpak and Snap make no sense in this context. Auto updates are handled through Steam, as is integration with your system like creating icons and what not.

Also, from the research I have done (which I'll admit is inadequate), the process of building an appimage seemed more straight forward than either flatpak or snap.

Everyone is in a deep trouble and trying to outprint themselves out of a problem. Even Germany (one of the best govt balance sheet country on the planet in 2019, going full Keynes and actually paying down their debts during the up phase of the cycle) may see a ratings downgrade. The CDS market is toying with this idea.

We don't know which type of volatility are we going to experience, the left tail or the right tail. So far major currencies are actually strengthening (deflation) against consumer baskets, but it's early days, I think.

Maybe even neither!

In either case, I'm watching the bond yields (while they are still visible ;) ), various consumer inflation measures and most importantly gold. Gold will tell you what's going on.

I'm skeptical. Amazing progress has been made in the last 5-10 years but it still feels like we need more paradigm shifting in the ML/AI field. It feels like we're approaching the upper limits of what stuffing mountains of data into model can do.

But with the speed of the field, maybe we can figure it out in three years. It just seems like we're still missing some key components. Primarily, reasoning and learning causality.
I'd argue the point is not how the public felt about about Flash, but how device makers saw it.

Flash didn't make it on any other mobile platform. Serious attempts were being made way earlier than the iPhone, including for Symbian [0], making it available for high end feature phones. But all of them were horribly limited, and none could solve the rift between desktop Flash and low power devices flash.

Jobs saying that Flash won't make it on the iPhone was the equivalent of announcing that the iPhone wouldn't use Intel chips, it was just putting a stake on a dead body so everyone could stop trying to revive it.

All excellent points, and all things which I would expect to become gradually bigger problems over time, as the "water cooler" info you compiled, becomes less and less current.

From what I remember it went like this:

Microsoft: we're giving everyone the NT Kernel

Geeks: No, we want 9x Kernel

Microsoft: Fine, here's Windows ME

Geeks: Noooooo!

Microsoft: Releases Windows 2000

Geeks: We want Windows 2000

It was so much more solid than Windows ME and they had 99% of the NT compatibility layer figured out by SP1 (if that's what it was called). But the best thing for me was that I had 2 processor motherboard with 2x 1Ghz P3s and the 9x Kernel couldn't handle that.
I never even knew Sony had released a 4k phone. What a clever way to kill two birds with one stone: Get an android system with a 4k screen but for 1/5th the price.

REMOVED: I complained about the rewritten title in a way that was excessively harsh and have removed that comment.
I'm more than a bit skeptical about the claims, the presentation reeks of sophistry. "Exceeding industrial farm yields" per what and for what inputs?

The claims about not needing nuclear energy because of it are fuzzy headed nonsequitors based on what is ideologically fashionable and sounds superficially good. Barring already fringe ideas involving mass desalination nobody claims a need for nuclear for agriculture in the first place. It is like smuggly declaring trucks obsoleted by your feet and then backing out when asked to haul 20 tons of concrete 200 miles.

Organic farming efforts often show an outright willful ignorance towards existing farming practices as "the enemy" as opposed to a starting point to understand how it works and how to mitigate flaws in favor of small scale wheel reinvention and number dodging. Its purpose is seems to be far more about identity than any practicality. "New Alchemy" is a good accidental description but not for the reasons they think.
Wayland is kind of buggy, period. If you are looking to do gaming, just give PopOS a look. It's pretty well setup for gaming out of the box.
You should look into Chinese brands such as Lepin. Their quality is so good that they get fakes of their own!
I share the same memory. I remember being very impressed how it run on my Dell laptops Pentium 233 MMX and 64 MB RAM. It even had the driver support for 3Com 14.4k PCMCIA modem... ah the nostalgia!
In at least some companies (e.g. Yahoo), they decided it worked, and then later decided no, it didn't. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot of backpedaling on remote work, after six months or so.
The private sector should actively refuse interactions especially with government! Especially when they serve multiple governments. I don't advocate companies taking social stances on politics, I am all against it. The people should be doing that, companies need to stay out of politics.

That said, this isn't mere politics. Actual humans can and are dying including children, the individuals at github/microsoft must excercise their conscious and act accordingly. Same applies to war. This isn't akin to refusing service to democracts or republicans but more like refusing service to organized criminals who also happen to be a government agency. All companies have a right and an obligation to refuse cooperation with a government agency that willfully causes death,torture and imprisonment without due process of innocent civilians. That is not a political stance.
The point is that the visibility is the best way to drive legislative change. Those changes will then have real-world impact. You're right that this is a slow process, but it's still the best we have in our current system.

In reality, police brutality is nothing new. Politicians should have made changes to keep police accountable years ago, but have consistently failed to do so. Now we've reached a tipping point where the public at large demands change, which needs to come from politicians, and the protests are the manifestation of this.

Does a Tweet from a CEO immediately fix the issue? Of course not. But that's like saying any individual is not going to make a difference when protesting, so they shouldn't bother. Obviously this will only lead to complacency, which will only cause the problem get worse. Democracy, in this case, means as much public pressure as possible so that politicians can no longer ignore the issue without fear of being voted out of office.

Every single bit of additional pressure helps the cause, and whether or not it's also good PR is irrelevant.
It doesn't actually matter what the etymology of "master" is in this context. What matters is how people affected by a legacy of slavery view the term and its usage. In general, the term "master" used to denote something that is in charge or in control is problematic.

Mainframes ? Well, maybe, but in a bit different way.

Motherboards and cables do not wearout, bridges and network interfaces most likely don't either. CPUs and RAM do. Concider a symmetrical multiprocessor system with a lot many multi-core CPU and RAM units (may be even fused together in one IC) that are sussectable to wearout. Operating system maintains a set of depletion counters for each unit. When a counter reaches some threshold, system automatically (or by request) gets such units out of operation and reports. An operator walks through the server rooms daily with a bunch of new units and replaces them. Only depleted silicon is replaced. It can be easily and safely disposed or even recycled and reused. Green. Efficient. High power. Low cost. Constant sales. What else we can dream of ? ;-)
I have done some testing around this (motion blur while scrolling) and can confirm that motion blur is not practical for scrolling. It “looks nice” and is a nice effect, but makes the text completely unreadable while scrolling.

If you have access to a Mac, the easiest way to check for your self is to add a CI motion blue filter to a tableview’s layer’s filter property (you can change the strength of the blur based on the speed of scrolling if you would like).
