It's no doubt referring to the "whap whap whap" sound of the tail rotor's wake causing interference patterns with the main rotor's wake.

Next time you're near a helicopter in flight, notice that the "whap whap whap" chopping sound is more prominent at certain angles. Because it's constructive interference the pressure wave can be quite large and sharp... just like a gunshot, I guess?
Exactly. One of the ideas with this is that someone with “just” HTML/CSS/JS could make/sell a usable, CMS backed site without having to jump through all the hoops the modern web demands of them, while at the same time not being limited by the rigidity all the page builders seem to have.
Australia: we want more international students. you are worth $16b+ to us annually. (some estimates go to $30b of on-value)

Also Australia: Oh, covid: no money for you, indigent peons!

Basically, if you cannot afford to eat, as a displaced international student its begging, or starving. No help.

Truly amazing lack of insight into future study outcomes here.

We used to have a strategy called "the colombo plan" which was free tertiary education on a requirement to go back home and this built links into emerging economies which liked us.

Now, our strategy is to milk international students dry, keep the ones who can survive exclusionist immigration policy, and screw everyone over if the risk-side tanks. Great plan!

Are you aware that the "my homebrew crypto system is functionally equivalent to a one-time pad, and is therefore perfect" argument is so overused by cranks that it's considered a cliche among actual cryptographers?

I don't even know how to respond anymore. You must be trolling.

Key-stretching algorithms are better than your chain-of-hashes because each iteration of a key-stretcher is deliberately CPU and memory intensive, whereas hashes are designed to be fast and efficient. So whatever clever scheme you think you've come up with to turn a single letter into an adequate key using secret combinations of chained hashes -- congratulations... you're doing what a key-stretcher does, but badly, because your scheme is much easier to brute-force.

Look, there are a lot of really subtle things that you need to be aware of when designing cryptosystems that even professional cryptographers get wrong sometimes, and exploiting these mistakes in a way that results in a complete break is way easier and more common than most people think. This is why "Don't roll your own crypto" is considered a best practice. Not because it isn't possible to come up with a simpler scheme. But because DIY secrecy is a siren song, and most people who are tempted by it are clever enough to come up with something that looks like it works, but not clever enough to know how to verify it properly.

Your goal shouldn't be simplicity, or trying to map an algorithm to a one-time pad. Your goal should be to use the standard tools in a way that professional cryptographers think is least likely to be subtly broken.
Of course as a developer you (should) already have the power to run arbitrary code on your machine, so going through that route is silly. I think it's more in reference to locked-down environments like shared hosting, which want to run Python but restrict access to everything else. From that perspective, this ability looks like a sandbox escape.
I’m curious what part of the country you actually live in. As somebody who just got back from a couple of weeks in boring, rural, flyover country: it’s no surprise that the people who live there are so intensely patriotic.

It's not about whether one can or cannot, it's about whether one does or does not.

Also, there's a feedback loop to consider. You can choose to get to know your DBMS, or you can choose to hold it at arm's length. Both can be reasonable options, but only one is going to foster expertise.

I've worked in enough places to see a clear pattern: Companies that use ORM for anything beyond really simple CRUD tend to have creeping performance problems with their database. (And typically also a healthy contingent of team members pushing to solve those problems by doing something drastic like migrating to NoSQL.) Companies that don't use ORM generally don't have the same problems.

For my part, I find micro-ORMs such as Dapper to be the sweet spot. They get the vast majority of the convenience benefit, without encouraging poor housekeeping practices.
>Factoring a few thousand extra dollars in engine cost is easy.

Totally get your point from the rest of the comment, but we could be seeing notably more expense from this. 2015-2017 I was working in a university research lab and we had an industry partner with a metal printer. They said a piece 10 inches long and 3 inches in diameter had an all-in cost of 5-8k, depending if it was steel or titanium.

I never saw a detailed breakdown of the costs they accounted for, and hope we see these manufacturing costs continue to drop.

There is a lot of challenge making the powder good for 3d printing. Tons of requirements around the size and shape - not being perfectly spherical, not being too long, etc. My understanding is this leads to much of the high material cost.
What's the CRM tool you've been using?
This is a bad take

1) when people move to the US to avoid developing world problems, by and large they aren't moving to the places you mention. From my experience growing up in a rural state, most people who grow up there stay there - most people who move to the US aren't going _there_ for opportunities

2) the types of problems faced back home by people seeking asylum or by refugees are very different from the types of problems being faced by poor people in the US. Does being poor in the US suck? Yes, absolutely. We should do better. But let's not pretend it's comparable to living in a war zone.

If you are looking at CS from an economic POV, than probably not. If you CS is your passion, and you want to get deep understanding of the logic and the math behind the concepts (I.e. understanding the why not just the how) , such that some day you will be able to write the framework, instead of just use the framework, than yes.

The key here is that there are no shortcuts. If your spend 4 years on one subject and related ideas, you will be better than someone who spend only 3 months.

I've yet to see 1,000 (or even 100, and rarely 10) lines of code doing what could be done in a 1 liner that is both clear and correct, and generally the more verbose, the less clear and the less correct it is.

Moreover, the longer version almost invariably (and more likely the longer it is) either is or contains a DRY violation that was originally copy-and-pasted from elsewhere in the same codebase, often with some intentional changes, which has since diverged (or diverged further than the intended differences) because of inconsistent maintenance.
If there’s no postmortem I think it’s pretty safe to assume the mistake(s) were embarrassingly simple such as a disturbingly poor CI process for a multi billion dollar company.

There is no shame for a bad config push... it happens... but there’s a huge amount of shame in having an ego so big you cannot admit it.
It can be both.

The focus is on the coercion because the Federal Government has very little direct coercive power over Universities; other manners of coercion (like withdrawing funding) would likely get stopped by the courts. But this threat is one way that the administration can hit Universities where it hurts.
It feels to me as though the US Government and Financial sector got stuck in the 80's or gone backwards.

Don't get me wrong, the Silicon Valley bubble has clearly impacted around the world, which is why I qualified with "largely".

But, cheques, spending more then 20 minutes at the DMV, charging ridiculous amounts for electronic transfers, healthcare, gun (lack of) reform. As a first world country you can't even get drinking water right - for years!?

To paraphrase, any country would be mad to invade the US as every has a gun.
Honestly, any country would be mad because... why would you want to?
I fully agree with you that they should have put out a post-mortem, that's what I was expecting as well, when I clicked the link. I disagree on it being a non-apology however, since the sentence below, quoted from the article, seems like an apology to me.

They’re incentives were an attempt to change social media with a more refined version of interactions. Of course getting big names on it early on would drive interest. That sort of business behavior was not done in bad faith.

The problem was that it was subscription based. The interactions between its users were thought out and professional. The trade of journalism itself had nothing to do with its failures — people did not have interest in paying for something they could do for free on Twitter.

It is wise to improve our own self and not use others weakness as justification for our own.

You don't actually know that. It's entirely possible that the Sentinelese were put there by aliens to guard an ancient superweapon, which is why they don't allow outsiders. They could have a galactic subether comm and be getting Internet from Spica. Until they let us in, there's no way to tell.

Not an app developer, so genuinely curious: would offering only Google and Apple SSO (alongside email and password) be enough coverage for most users to reduce signup friction? Apps are rolling Apple auth out now as the deadline for implementation has passed.

My understanding is that to use Facebook as an auth mechanism, you must use their SDK (and personal data vacuuming along with it), so dropping Facebook auth would allow apps to drop the SDK, which would be a win for both privacy advocates and users who enjoy their apps working even when Facebook breaks something.

India's population growth is largely just trailing China by ~30 years. Current projections seems to suggest China's population will peak around 2030, and India around 2060. It's clear India's population will exceed China's, but it won't get all that much higher as birth rates in India are dropping with development like most other places.

If you're actually interested in the migration patterns within the Appalachian region, this report may be helpful.[0] You'll find that even within this region, more people are moving towards the economic opportunities offered by cities, not to rural counties to get away from "city problems."

To be clear, I was referring to AMD/Nvidia mid-tier. And I don’t expect Apple to come close to that any time soon. But who knows—Apple have already exceeded all expectations on their in-house GPU tech.

While Apple doesn’t need to be chasing tier 1 AAA game performance, they do need graphics horsepower to handle two or three 6K displays. They also need to be a compelling platform for occasional gamers. And they need performance to power their push into AR.

Some sectors are hard-hit by Covid but others are not. Furniture sales, Grocery, Tech, Entertainment are all doing quite well.

Debt is also not necessarily the time-bomb that everyone thinks it is. Debt is tied closely to the overall money supply, and world productivity has been increasing as has population. World debt is about 69 trillion with a population of 7.8 billion. That's under $9k USD per person.
I think it's worse than that. What Twitter especially does is make it easy to find people who are the worst possible version of those you disagree with. Every "nobody REALLY thinks that" is easy to disprove (although still generally accurate!)... You find ACTUAL neoNazis. ACTUAL tankies. ACTUAL fill in the blanks.

That's what radicalizes people. That, and the easy ability to mob folks who don't toe the line on whatever issue. The most disgusting takes on both sides are amplified, not blocked. And even when blocked, still screen-capped. You see the most unreasonable perspectives amplified but the broad middle folk, or those who have legitimate points, either driven off the platform or who just aren't amplified.

EDIT:I know this is usually frowned upon on HN, but I must ask: Why the downvotes?
I do realise that, Apple's website is where I got the price from and how much I paid.

No. But that‘s the point. International students have no good reason to come to the US anymore when they can be kicked out at any second, won‘t get a visa for finding a job after an education that doubles in cost every couple of years.

Btw you‘d be surprised how countries way way way smaller than the US have sizeable international student populations.

I think much of the west for the latter half of the 20th century was happy to have the US do these things, while they kept their hands more or less out of it and could wave their finger when they wished... without having to worry about what would happen if they tried.

Take a look at those nation's actions before that and you'll get abetter feel of how things go.
Not quite. If someone says “Jim told me that Matt killed the guy”. That’s inadmissible hearsay, but it doesn’t mean the cops can’t go interrogate Matt and generate admissible evidence.
In my experience it’s not the general public who is hyping 3D printing its the tech/nerd crowd. I can remember when 3D printing was getting affordable and people telling me I just didn’t understand how it would change manufacturing.
My god. I got stuck hole where every path led to Cindy Lauper.
Soft power was always crucial to US success. US as a cultural juggernaut in the 20th century was a key reason the US won the Cold War - not hard power. Projecting “liberal values” out to the world was part of it.

Since the Iraq war, the emperor has increasingly had no clothes. Instead of moral progress to realize those ideal, things have increasingly devolved and the bottom keeps dropping out...

I have optimism that even now the majority of Americans hold to some ideals to aspire to, and that eventually given a generation, things can change. But I won’t hold my breath!
Apple has an excellent warranty, takes care of their customers, so they totally cover defective products out of their own pockets. and Louis Rossmann is clueless about good product design.

In regards to your browser history, this is not shared nor stored on our servers. You have to specifically opt in to allow access to the History permission, and this is only so you can search your history. Again, nothing stored on the servers.

The information that is stored, like you pointed out in our privacy policy, is mundane and harmless, except of course the URL if that is something you are worried about. Also clearly outlined in the privacy policy is that this information is encrypted, secure, and never shared or sold to third parties.

Furthermore, we are not storing this information just because. Partizion stores your collections of tabs so that you can access them from any device and any browser. This is something that cannot be achieve by using chrome's storage API or syncing.

Hope that clears things up. I didn't want to come off as "advertising". Just thought I'd share my motivations for building this project.
Highest customer satisfaction of any Apple product in history.
> I don't really think the Flash decision had anything to do with "better products," and simply ecosystem control.

It sounds like you weren’t following tech news around that time. The decision about Flash may have had some elements about control, but it was largely about avoiding an unreliable, crashing, battery sucking and insecure piece of software.

When Steve Jobs wrote his open letter “Thoughts on Flash”, [1] there was a lot of criticism on Apple’s decision and predictions of Android wiping out Apple completely because Android still supported Flash. But people did come around to see that Apple was right about Flash and that it wasn’t something that was good enough to be included on mobile.

Eventually, Adobe was forced to stop development on it (to the extent it was spending time but still not making it better on stability, security and energy consumption).

Last time I checked, the fire was controlled to be away from munitions and fuel. The stuff burning is pretty much anything that isn't metal scattered around the ship.
not sure if this applies in states, but here in Canada, the graduate studies simply see more international students because local students are more interested in working rather than continuing education beyond an undergrad degree.
> A generic solution for Ruby has not been found yet. Ruby does accept an environment variable RUBYOPT to specify command-line options. The man page states that RUBYOPT can contain only -d, -E, -I, -K, -r, -T, -U, -v, -w, -W, --debug, --disable-FEATURE and --enable-FEATURE. The most promising option is -r which causes Ruby to load the library using require. However, this is limited to files with an extension of .rb or .so.

Interesting - could the -r option load a .so file with a .ctor section?
Many schools are doing just this thing, except in much more subtle ways.

You are assuming a lot about this woman who you have entirely no information about.
My favorite Jobs masterclass is his talk at Apple's developer conference in 1997 [1]. He had just returned to the company, and a lot of people were unhappy with him and/or Apple at the time. He decided to do an hour long off-the-cuff Q&A session with the developers. Famously, one of the questioners was harsh and insulting, and he handled it with grace.

I honestly can't think of another tech CEO that could have pulled off this performance. Maybe Bill Gates? I get the sense that the reality distortion field was very real because he was so clear and eloquent about his mission, it never needed to be scripted or rehearsed, it just came out of him at all times.

While I wholeheartedly agree with the intent behind this sort of protest, this moves universities into a more illegitimate category and jeopardizes their students' lives. It gives fuel to people who call universities as scams, and gives ICE an excuse to go after students and faculty for abetting this scheme. While this is fun to fantasize about on Twitter for Likes, universities are part of the countries' major institutions and are under major scrutiny so must follow the law to the letter.

Nobody saw those security vulnerabilities coming. And ironically, they were introduced due to changes that are intended to make the chips faster without explicit parallelization. This goes back to the problem that a modern architecture for a CPU is a massively parallel machine emulating an instruction set design for an embarrassingly serial machine based on best practices from the 1970s.
