Offending a politician and making bomb jokes in airport are different things in US but not in China. This is pretty much my point.

Of course they were comparing US with China, implying the US has its own flaws and shouldn't lecture China. That's like saying US had its own racisim in 1930 so it had no right to interefere in Nazi Germany's internal policies.

US may not be a shining beacon of democratic values but it's a country that can do something about China's rise as a world super power(unlike Denmark, NZ or Germany).
The worst case is they could all merge into "Amwings" and those who choose to AGTOW would go bankrupt. I doubt it. Consolidation down to fewer major carriers per country would happen first because it's not like HYPErloop is going to put airlines or air cargo out of biz anytime soon.
Scary thought. Legalization is presented as the utopian solve-it-all-policy and everyone points to weeds harmlessness. But hard drugs who lead to physical addiction?
You don't need to ask for their username.
You don't let them see what code looked like earlier in history.
You don't give write access to the repo.
It is much quicker to send a link.

The most useful scenario is when you want to give access to a potential employer. If you are talking to an HR, it might be awkward to ask for a username of the developer who is going to take a look at your code.

Also some people don't have an account on the platform you are using.

Networking in general is a far less sophisticated world than we might like to hope. You have to deal with quirks of vendor-specific firmware, creaky protocols, and so on, and the culture of networking has been a bit behind some other areas of software in embracing testing in the way you describe.

We'll get there, but it's no surprise CF isn't doing this today; it would put them waaaay ahead of the pack if they did.
I just find it ironic that the same people pushing for 2FA and arbitrary password rules are now saying "oh I guess 2FA is phishable"

The best defense against Phishing seems to be to hire competent people and to train them on that and to establish "No You-Know-Who-You're-Talking-To" policies, as if something gets failed to do by whomever that didn't follow security procedures (example: "CEO" asking for "urgent" favour) is not blamed

No, it’s a thread about rewarding executives for managing to keep any semblance of a company alive. A company that comes out of bankruptcy is much more valuable than one that doesn’t. The shareholders have to compensate the execs enough to entice them to go through that rather than leave for greener pastures where their shares won’t be worthless and they won’t have to fire people.
I really have no idea what point you’re trying to make. Supply and demand and the primary market forces in every conceivable system of economics.
Interesting. Something suggests a loop that does

entities.forEach { $0.think(delta_t) }

is essentially cooperative multitasking, whose efficiency is questionable in general and especially on multicore hardware - but I don't know about games. Let alone programming think(delta_t) adds complexity and introduces more states within each entity, compared to real threads with their own stacks.
It's important to note that this is the first US patent. Technically Patent No. 1 is the Locomotive Steam Engine[1]. The US Patent Office burned down in 1836[2] and patents were renumbered from that point on. All previous patents are now listed as X-Patents[3].

It's not that they don't have technical people.

I used to work for one consultant company like these.

There were many smart people who had crazy startup ideas and technical ability to handle the projects.

Problem was just that they were very expensive, so consultant company used them to field the projects. They'd send them with a masterbullshiter who would take clues from these tech smart folks and bullshit his way to impress the promoters and get the project.

After that the technical team and bullshiter will try to get another project, so it's not same people who are bidding and winning Vs one who are delivering project at the end.

Tech smart and bullshiter are used for fielding project (these cost a lot of money), while subservient and low tech skills and low awareness people are used for delivering actual project.

Thanks for the extension!
at some point, the engine stopped working on macOS. Mostly because Apple doesn’t want people to use OpenGL, so they’re starving their drivers from development

You can look at the blockchain how much money people lost, and for how long the scam went on. Or you can just read Twitter's announcement: they did nothing to mitigate the scam. I remember being scammed for about $200 when I was a teenager and it was awful. I was ashamed of myself.

No, a vaccination was not always known as not possible. It still isn't, in fact.
And amazing amounts of effort are being spent to make the administration of tests easier. The first tests required trained research technicians. Today tests are still not widespread because they require specialized machinery or other materials. If it were possible to pee on a stick as a self test, everyone would be ecstatic - but it's not, so far.

The pandemic planning stuff I've read from before this year seems to suffer from a number of assumptions that were violated by covid, from asymptomatic transmission to the long lead time. E.g in MERS or Ebola or even flu, the infectious but asymptomatic period is more like Contagion. You don't have to worry about infected people wandering around town for a week or two.

Most planning mentions the need for having tests, and quickly gathering materials etc, and then moves on to tactics for containment and vaccine development. Where testing is focused on, it's as a way to differentiate between people who have symptoms but are actually infected with a non-panfemic disease, so that resources aren't wasted quarantining them. I haven't yet found a scenario studied with a long lead time and possible low level or asymptomatic presentation as standard.
Yep. It's down for me too. I thought it was censoring searches because it was working intermittently depending on keywords consistently, but it looks like it's just down. It's weird because I haven't noticed DDG go down in a looong time as I use every single day on all devices. Will have to retry later to completely dispel to myself any notion of censored search. Oh well... off to https://startpage.com for now.

It's really hard because it's often not really that your configuration is invalid. It's not a syntax error. It's that BGP provides a way for networks to tell each other about how they see the world, and sometimes what you say can melt down everyone else's systems.

It's a dynamic, constantly-changing system, and the effects of your actions may not always be seen - it's not always obvious how other networks behave and will react to your route announcements. And so even trying to snapshot the current state and say "hypothetically, would this change be a bad idea?" can be hard to get right.

Now, this particular case was of internal BGP use at Cloudflare, so everything I said doesn't necessarily apply... but it still does a little. Even internal networks can be so complicated, they may as well be un-analyzable.

I think the problems here are pretty deep, unfortunately, and have to do with our "network of networks" design.

That's a good thing.
This is why projects like Handshake exist[1]. It’s a DNS protocol that aims to replace CAs and decentralize the governance of TLDs as well.

All 21 TB of code on GitHub was moved to cold storage at an actual Arctic vault
People are generally far less likely to give out credentials to their VPN or personal accounts than they are to give out passwords to a random application. Additionally requiring a VPN increases the barrier to entry to accessing the application as you could have additional requirements to a VPN (such as a 2FA and device certificate).
I just tried it out, I didn't manage to get GHC to compile the equivalent of the code I've given into something that runs in constant memory. (I did the calculations modulo some number, to keep the numbers themselves bounded.)

GHC is sometimes able to do some of those transformations.

> The recursive Python version above didn't use tail calls.

Just to be more pedantic: it did use tail calls, but the recursive calls weren't the tail calls.
Also you can check games like quake, doom etc which have opened their source, they are all done like that.
Scrum - as pretty much everything - is bad when it’s done bad and can be good when it’s done good. I’ve seen both: 30 minutes of SoS where you’d wish for a pure caffeine infusion just to keep your eyelids up and daily SoS meetings with representatives from about 15 teams which were quickly adjourned most of the days when no cross cutting concerns needed coordination. It all hinges on the person responsible for the meeting.
Similar lack of peer review and change management process.
But technically you could try a dictionary-based brute-force attack on a user with a weak password and crack it regardless of the hashing scheme.
Dunno if it's apples and oranges for you, but I've seen Zig [0] being thrown around here previously as a "safer" embedded C alternative, albeit more minimal than Rust. May be worth comparing (I haven't tried either language).

Don't get me wrong, I really like the idea of it, I think grains are lowest-tier food and I would much prefer to eat the produce you describe.

However, grains are the staple food, not just in the US, but around the world. To my knowledge no other method than having fields of grains buffed with fertilizer comes close to its caloric output.

You're saying it requires "no inputs", but it actually requires a lot of land. The inputs you describe are plentiful, land is scarce.

If soil really does get used up as some scientists predict, we might naturally shift towards these kinds of farming, but we might also figure out a way to replenish the soil.
Let me guess, their internal support tools were available on the wide Internet instead of requiring the additional step of a VPN with certificate+password based login?
Unfortunately, YouTube premium is not available in all countries, so some of us have have to go for more "hacky" solutions if we want to avoid ads.
Yes, thats a fair point, I will add something to help explain each. To be honest I had never heard of Hatha until I started building this, but as I aggregated the data it is a keyword that came up quite a lot.
Thanks for the feedback!
The amazing thing is the ICANN tried to frame the decision to shelve the .org sale as a decision that they initiated, when it was only after numerous organizations like the EFF and even the California Attorney General steppes in that they did anything.
DuckDuckGo Was Down?
Well, the thing that stops you is the cost of designing, implementing, maintaining, and scaling the replica testbed. On a large network, that would be pretty hard to justify to most organizations, which would see it as very costly with a tough-to-measure upside.

Have you done this before? I'd be interested to hear how those conversations went.

There are two other WebTorrent implementations (possibly more that I don't know about!)

* https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent (Golang)

* https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent (C++)

An implementation in Rust would be amazing, but there is a quite a bit of work to make that happen in pure Rust though! If you want to use FFI/unsafe code it is totally do-able :)
The problem is that the root issue of ICANN corruption hasn’t gone away. So there will be more problems in the future, you can count on it.

There are initiatives like https://handshake.org that are trying to do away with ICANN entirely
True, but what you wrote suggested that the fact it was detected elsewhere exonerates China. It does not.
It is mostly a solved problem. OpenGL is the old high-level standard, Vulkan is the new standard, though it's closer to the hardware.

WebGPU is the main contender for a new high-level standard, which will probably mostly run on Vulkan.

Only Apple doesn't support Vulkan, but nobody can force them to.
Oh yeah let’s pay those guys, that buy apartments in our cities to rent them out to tourist, making our own rents go up.

Companies that keep their JS footprint small will have faster-loading pages, and that translates to non-trivial increase in profits. Sadly, people running businesses don't understand this, and tech teams certainly aren't going to voluntarily make their jobs harder without word coming down from above. So do your company a favor - educate those in charge about how much page load time matters.
Yes.

Though GHC is sometimes able to do some simple transformations on its own. But not in this case.

For anyone trying this at home: I suggest calculating your additions modulo some constant, so that the numbers involved stay within a fixed size. (Otherwise, you either hit the limits of Int and weird things can happen, or when calculating with the arbitrary precision type Integer, your numbers themselves will grow linearly in space.)
You will laugh, but Apple started to call “cross platform” things that are used or run on more than one of their product. So cross platform between iOS, macOS, Apple TV OS(?), watchOS.

Yes.

Though if we allow programs like the C example that give wrong answers or have undefined behaviour, I can write an even faster version that takes no time at all.
Perhaps depends on your goals. Virulent enough to cause global panic and show how a totalitarian state can respond better to a pandemic than democratic stated. But not virulent enough to actually kill everyone.

Similarly SARS and MERS were perhaps too virulent and could thus easily be controlled by screening for symptoms, while the new coronavirus can spread without symptoms, which could possibly be attributed to the lower virulence.
If I recall correctly it’s hosted on AWS, or at least partially on EC2 instances, anyone has any reliable source on this?
Sustained gross incompetence is the norm when it comes to megaprojects like Berlin Airport. Late and very over budget is the norm for projects originally budgeted to cost over $1 billion. You don’t need bribes or backhanders.

I have seen some places where torrents are blocked (and WebTorrent still works!).

WebRTC uses DTLS, and ISPs blocking it is a pretty high blast radius. Also with conferencing being so important makes it much easier to hide. Tor's Snowflake did some good writeups on this also.

WebTorrent doesn't require a browser to use either anymore, so you could see lot more peers if you use both!
This is not hacker news. Every time I find a tech site that has good tech news it eventually gets flooded with political articles. Sometimes vaguely tech related. While I respect John Lewis this isn’t the place for this article. We will be hearing about this all week from other sources.
By paying for premium you support a company whose business model is based on selling emotional manipulation (i.e. ads). You support a company that violates your right to use the software of your choice on your personal property. And you give in to extortion by paying for not being exposed to emotional manipulation. Paying for premium is the unethical option here.

Ask HN: How do I downshift my software engineer career?
For the last ten years, I have been somewhat successfully pretending I understand what I am doing. First, kernel hacking. Then, distributed systems. Finally, web ranking.

Despite my business title is software engineer, I somehow ended up doing data science. My everyday job is meetings, running and analyzing experiments, tuning and training models, and meetings again. I do not hate it, but I miss writing code. There are almost no low-hanging fruits left, it is hard to make impact. You can also imagine how extremely slow and bureaucratic any organization with over 100k full-time employees is.

After the whole COVID-19 thing started, I began to realize I am slowly burning out. My productivity is going in the gutter, it became harder to care about my job, I always feel down, even my wife noticed how my hair is turning gray at an alarming rate. I could switch teams, but I do not think there is a better one, I would end up either going against my values or struggling to find motivation to work.

What I want to do is develop open-source software that no one will ever pay me for (other than in donations, perhaps) and spend one day a week working remotely for a fraction of money. What can I possibly do? No one would need such a part-time SWE. I feel under- and at the same time over-qualified for freelance. An introvert developer advocate sounds like a joke. A 30-year-old IT-consultant with no degree sounds like a mockery. Should I start another business living off my current employer's name? I have no idea how outside world works. Any suggestions?

You say conquered they say unified. It was only split into North and South as a result of the Independence movement (against colonial French occupation). And actually, an associated declaration stated that after the troop withdrawals (signifying the actual demarcation of North and South) an election would be held for the reunification of the country. This provision was subsequently never agreed to by the South Vietnamese or the United States. So the North Vietnamese invaded their own country to wrest control from a puppet US supported government, after they had reneged on a democratic option for reunification.
