LIGO can isolate itself from seismic backgrounds, but it has no artificial gravitational-wave foregrounds. (Yes, Newtonian Noise is a concern for future generations, but it is expected to be modeled and subtracted well-enough.)

Arrays like Starlink are a persistent foreground for the big radio telescopes. SKA and the like are in the Outback for a reason, but for this there is no escape.

in california, if your employer requires you to have a phone for 2FA or other purposes, they must reimburse you at least partially. yubikeys are cheaper.

as to being clunky, it’s because your employer doesn’t care about it, so you have the clunky (and much cheaper) yubikeys.

lack of verification of who is using it is simply not an important part of the threat model.

My dad was a linotype operator before WW2, his dad was blind and during the depression as the oldest he had to leave school at 15 to support the family (this was in NZ)

Skilled lino operators were the programmers of their days, in short supply, they were paid really well (for the time) and could quit, travel for a while and find a job almost anywhere.

When dad signed up for WW2 he was almost immediately seconded to a HQ company, men who could type were as scarce as hen's teeth, too valuable - he was shot at occasionally but they generally weren't sent right to the front line, mostly one row back - people had to be paid, orders had to be intelligible
The irony runs deep in this case. The examples you point out are good ones for the term in common use through the end of 2016. Then this happened:

https://www.cnn.com/2016/12/08/politics/hillary-clinton-fake...

December 2016 Hillary Clinton decides to use the term in reference to recent events like her losing the election. The media picks up on it and the term starts to lose its meaning. Then Donald Trump, always with a nose for catch phrase politics, picks up the term and runs with it, a turn of events that someone on HN called a huge "own goal" by the media, and I can't say I disagree with that assessment.

>I’ll never understand how someone can like a place so much, they go out of their way to hunt for a new job, pick up and move to an entirely new city, and then complain or refuse to do the things which it takes to maintain that which made you fall in love with a place.

Because most people are consumers, not creators, and when an excessive amount of consumers enters a space that previously had a balance between consumers and creators, the prices get bid up and the imbalance results in a situation where people drive 15 minutes to go to the big box store.

The consumers wanted to consume the convenience of the little shops, but not in sufficient quantities to continue to make it a viable business in the face of rising demand from other consumers coming in also to consume the convenience of the little shops. Hence you end up at a new economic equilibrium where the big box stores are the only ones left.

Then, if society is lucky, the intial and boundary conditions will allow for a new place to reach a balance between consumers and creators, and rinse, repeat.

This is also a little bit related to this theory:

With public domain ebooks in text based formats, if desired, it’s easy for a distributor or for the end user to change the display fonts (and font attributes) to make it easier or more pleasant to read. For audiobooks, these factors — the voice of the narrator, the intonations and expressions, accent and more — matter to have a good listening experience. Even commercially published audiobooks are dissed on the basis of having a poor narrator. An audiobook player doesn’t have a lot to provide on these factors (with the current technology) compared to ebooks.

With the above context, how is a dump of audiobooks like this useful to the masses without reviews from people who have listened to the works? The lack of reviews here is not a problem as much as the lack of a reviewing or commenting interface would be, IMO.

How do the current listeners (on HN) of works here decide what to download or not? Or is it just a matter of “download, listen and see if it’s good enough or move on”?

There are a lot of arguments about how DoH with TLS 1.3 will give us privacy etc by the proponents of DoH(not this article).. but it’s basically moving the trust from ISPs to CDNs. There are fewer major browsers and fewer major CDNs than ISPs, I suppose.. so not sure if it’s a good move.

I don't see why it couldn't. Maybe people here are used to the top of top internet, but I've lived in many places where the best I could get was ~5mbps, with 60ms latency and 60$+.

Those are very easy numbers to beat. Yes it might not beat prices and latencies for a super competitive city with true competition, but those are honestly rare and few between. The majority of north american cities have shitty internet at high prices and high latency.

Also, slap this router on a Tesla car, allowing it to have connection anywhere it drives, and you're golden.
Yes, it's called a saturable reactor [0] and can be considered as a very simple type of magnetic amplifier. You control the impedance of the reactor using the extra winding, conceptually similar to how you control the conductivity of the pass transistor in a solid-state voltage regulator. You can find them in old Tektronix oscilloscopes, here's a long (70 min.) and comprehensive video [1] on the design of the Tektronix 555 power supply, including the operation of the saturable reactor voltage regulator.

Similarly, the plural of anecdote is not data. You are completely right, and nobody has a good rebuttal.
My main gripe here is that as time has gone on, and I've racked up the RSI's, is that the brain-to-text latency has gone up notably.

And yet, years after Dan took over as moderator,
and over a decade after Paul posted his comment,
the site is still going strong, and arguably is
one of the best places for discussion on the internet.

HN is a success and does the vast majority of things well. But it makes no sense to sweep aside criticism with "well, it's working." It succeeds because of the things it does well and in spite of the things it does suboptimally.

HN moderation generally works well in spite of the actual technical implementation; it succeeds because HN has a high-quality readership who generally follows the internet etiquette of "downvote posts that harm the discussion, not simply because you disagree."

Google has had every advantage in making communications platforms (counting video chat and/or text chat) and they've bungled every one of their many, many attempts. It's simply incredible. Between owning the most popular smartphone platform, the most popular search engine, and the most popular email platform, they had the wind at their back to say the least. And yet, they've lost traction with every one of their many iterations of platforms. I don't even bother to learn the names of, much less use, their communications products. Pour one out for your software developer compatriots getting assigned to the next google communications clients whose successor is already being spun up before you have a chance to fail.
And what's worse, you wouldn't consider a dress up job to save your career, nor does it strike you odd that there are no dress up jobs to be had.

So the feeling of being judged may be an internal feeling that does not match reality.

I'm not sure what the answer is to that but I say just be you. You are where you are, hopefully, because of the person you have become and that is something that you should be proud of and be able to act on.

You can also look at it as that you have already been judged in a positive light in order to be in the place that you are.

For people who are not familiar with guided fuzzers, it would not surprise me if AFL actually managed to get good checksums on its own.

The first couple of times I had Zolpidem at 10mg I had the sweetest audio hallucinations -- otherworldly positive familiar voices but with an added sweetness and thinness; the voices seemed to come from far, far away.

I remember reading a reddit comment and my internal voice changed to what seemed to me like a very relaxed well studied black pimp.

I've had audio hallucinations before when I was a teenager and had a high fever and I could hear bell-like noises from a wall and what I can only describe as female angels singing -- the hallucinations had a very positive mental impact and in the morning I felt much better physically.

Anyway -- all these audio hallucinations have been very positive, I don't want to think how bad any negative voices can be.

> Does this mean that if you recently had a Coronavirus that caused a head cold that you have a measure of protection?

Apparently, no, as there are no observed differences in the percentages of infected when the people who have children or work with children are compared with those who don't. If the stated assumption were true, those that were more exposed to other coronaviruses (which would be expected among those having or being close to kids) would be as a group less prone to be infected. That was apparently not observed.

So the "slowdowns" are just the humans adapting their behavior to reduce their chances of getting infected. When Rt is 1 the growth is linear, as simple as that. Less of such changes in the population behavior, more people are getting infected, faster.

Source: translated transcript of the podcast of Christian Drosten. Hint: also, don't believe what most of the media says that "he said" -- I've seen a lot of "editorialized" reporting of what he says, to the point of the end product being completely opposite of what he actually said. It's that bad. One really has to go to the source and read. Unfortunately, it's a lot of work, as the podcasts are long. So the people who don't read the source tend to have completely wrong idea what he actually said -- that's also why I'm not giving the specific link: if one doesn't invest really a lot of energy and find and carefully the sources, one has more chance to acquire completely wrong conclusions as "highlights."
Thanks for the input. I’m about a week in and that is the realization I am reaching. My window sizes are almost back to where they were before.

Yeah that's why I added the "if" - But I have seen a lot of very small teams running AD (or Azure AD if they've chosen the Microsoft path), but they tend to just be paranoid about security or running in countries with poor internet connections.

Microsoft also provide pretty cheap deals for startups if they want some basic infrastructure for the office (excluding the hardware of course), so it's not entirely out of the equation on the licencing side either.

Really small teams typically will find U2F auth easiest to work with in the beginning, and then after hitting like 20 users they'll bump into problems like a large enough number of connected systems that they need to manage 2FA for.
A warning: Don't think that this is a good idea. It's small, it's fast, it's elegant. But it's totally insecure.

Everybody who had access to this format can take it over. It can do far too much, that's why everybody uses JSON. It can only represent hashes, arrays, and some limited primitives. No links, no logic, no lib. But lua is far too powerful. Game over.

Lisp would be even better, btw. Much easier to parse, and much easier to avoid eval. But his idea is eval.
Datalog is very much alive in Clojure, there are many implementations and you pick between in-memory and disk based ones.

This is not entirely true. You can exhaust stack headroom by calling functions with very large pass-by-value structs. In these situations, you are then forced to use a pointer, which results in heap allocation.

Non-generic sum types are useful but you can’t build an option or result type out of them, so the usefulness is somewhat hampered.

Same in California - corona is a health care non-issue here, aside from our governor running for President soon, so it's a political issue. So we'll be the last to leave lockdown, and it's looking like Jan. 2022 now.

By non-issue, I mean hospitalizations and deaths according to the official data have been at the same low rate for months, basically flat. California never had a ventilator or ICU shortage at all. (Last time I checked, we had 58 total deaths in SF/Santa Clara County with millions of pre-lockdown arrivals from China.)

- Over 49 years, being a member of the composable, a senior member of the priority list, the No. 1 man on the priority list. "How do you feel this change?" "Well I feel that... They call it progress, I would like to stay the way it was, keep the machine running." "How long have you worked here?" "49 years." "How old are you?" "75 and half." "Are you retiring tonight?" "Yes." "This is the last time?" "Yes." "Let's have a drink, buddy!"

- This worker chalks up his sentiments: End of an era, it was good while it lasted. Crying won't help.

- "I find it very sad. I planned the new stuff, the new processes, and all, but I've been printed it out for 26 years. I've been in this place, 6 years for apprenticeship, 20 years journeyman, and these words that aren't just tossed around. They've always to us. I hate to say it, it's inevitable that we're gonna go into computers. All the knowledge I've acquired over these 26 years, it's all locked up in a little box now called the computer. And I think probably most jobs are gonna end up the same way." "Is computer a good idea in general?" "Oh there's no doubt about it, it's gonna benefit everybody, eventually, how long will take? I don't know."

I agree that sometimes its okay to give another lib control of the DOM (D3 probably falls in this category). However in the context of the parent comment where haberman is wondering if Bootstrap could work directly with Vue (which it could) I still hold that this is missing the point. In this case Vue would be nothing but a glorified templating engine. I would rather only use the boostrap styles while writing my own logic with Vue's reactivity model.
I'm waiting for 4K/32inch/120Hz monitor without local dimming(because it's power hungry) but stil no releases. Maybe due to most manufactures want to add HDR(10bit color) but 4K/120Hz/10bit exceeds DP 1.4 bandwidth so need to reduce color to 4:2:2 or use DP 2.0 or HDMI 2.1.

I really hope 120Hz going to standard for work monitor.

While I prefer text based formats myself, there can be the use for audio recordings of it, I think, such as people who prefer the audio recordings, or when it can be useful in different circumstances.

But, some things I don't know. How to deal with footnotes? What if some of the footnotes are unreferenced (like in a story I wrote)? What if the text has some word/name that they do not know how to pronounce? (What if the author also doesn't know, or if the author knew but is now dead or for some other reason can no longer speak (and didn't write down the pronounciation)?) What about foreign text? (In the story I mentioned, it is mostly in English, although there is one passage written in Latin.)
