Boy do y'all come off as entitled and privileged. I know people in Third World countries with no access to international bank accounts that were only able to buy stuff online thanks to Bitcoin.

Just because you don't see a utility for it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I wonder how secure it would be to put some ancient super obscure system on the internet these days. Ideally with a CPU with an obscure instruction set.

All standard exploits would fail. Just make sure you don't have a shell escape, shell commands would work of course.
As an emerging EE, I fully agree. I honestly believe it could be done with solid quality. Early today I saw this very old video of Elon at SpaceX with their design software [1]. It's amazing to me that this video was six years ago. Revit is the prized gem. Whomever creates it, focus on Revit and focus on the pain-points.

One key feature for human success was the adaptability of behavioural patterns. Anything you find that's "hardwired" or heavily biased towards must have been pretty universally positive to neutral along the way.
In light of that it would be more surprising than not to find very much in the way of those.
> the feds provided large quantities of ventilators

The feds, early on, initially declined to provide PPE from stockpiles, and then obstructed states who located their own PPE supplies (and other resources) and commandeered them, directing both originally federal stocks and commandeered stocks that were secured according to political affiliation rather than need, oversupplying (even compared to state requests) states with governors that were politically allied with the President and denying supplies to hard hit states whose governor's were members of the opposite major party. The federal government also directly I referred with virus control effort by using the Defense Production Act tomorrow to meat plant closures as large outbreaks were occurring in such facilities.

And, that's not the extent of the political game playing involved.

https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/07/9942890/jared-kushn...

On top of that the biggest failing is the failure of federal aid to states; states largely have constitutional and practical limits that make borrowing for even extraordinary operating costs impractical or impossible, relying on the federal government (which is much less limited, both legally and because of its low cost of borrowing, which is kept down by being the currency issuer) for emergency deficit spending. Among other things, that's amounted to economic coercion for reopening, and that's been fairly overtly the reasoning Republican officials in both political branches of the federal government have given for not including such aid in emergency spending packages.
In the US for example, there's an actual field in your 1040 tax return for entering income from otherwise undeclared illegal businesses. Putting your drug or extortion money there and paying taxes is not admitting guilt and can't be used against you IIRC.
It was common for low cost wifi-cards to not function at 5GHz.

Actually it was only with 802.11ac (AKA WIFI5) that laptops started universally supporting 5GHz on the high and low end.

Before that you had to check the spec sheet.

In fact, it's still common for IoT devices to forgoe 5GHz, but it's becoming less common, thankfully.
As a self-funded SaaS owner, I agree 100% with the above answer. Totally correct.
>Literally the first website I picked, CNN.com, has doubleclick sources, but not GTM or GA (at least as far as I can tell).

I can see they're preloading GTM scripts, which means those requests are absolutely made. I can't tell if the script is executed, but that doesn't even matter since it's requested.

Just open up your network console and filter by "Google". There are numerous requests to Google services, including Google.com and GoogleTagServices.com.

>I will once again ask for a scheme by which the header is both useful for tracking or advertising, and isn't used for tracking individual users.

Tracking groups of users.

>So was this an 8+ year scheme?

Even worse. Google had 8 years to adequately disclose to users the DoubleClick tracking or allow them to disable it. To this day, disabling is not possible (not even via config).

>Ah, I see, so in the case of multiple logged-out but non-incognito chrome users in the same household, x-client-data could be used to better target ads to specific devices in the household, instead of the household as a whole. That's the "gold" here?

Yes, this is why ad networks tend to run fingerprinting scripts.

Tracking specific devices is huge. That's partially why the ad industry took a huge hit when Safari cracked down on third-party tracking.
There is a fully open source port called VSCodium[1], I believe.

> right now, cryptocurrency has negative value for society

It's hard to say. The current fiat system, due to predatory and parasitic practices such as the inherent interest involved in working with it, and how the government is able to control inflation at will, is absurd.
lots of questions / comments:

- how do I publish? how do I see the published version?

- what does the eye at the top right do?

- Is all you can do right now just create pages and subpages of rich media?

Otherwise it's actually not a bad experience. Lots of bugs. not sure if I'll stick around or publish an article on it yet, hard to tell right now.
I agree that perfect translation might require GAI, but don't let perfect be the enemy of good. An AI just needs to be better than existing approaches to be somewhat useful.
That’s a valid request. However, continued support or bug fixes in that case might require a much higher upfront price than the one you might be used to.

While it’s easy to blame the developers of a product for real or perceived flaws, even if operated entirely offline software products interact with their environment.

Hence, a bug you’re having might be due to an operating system update, another third-party application, or even a specific hardware configuration.

I’d want the software company in question to be motivated to investigate and - if possible - fix the issue nonetheless, even if the underlying cause of the issue isn’t their fault.
The value of human life is orthogonal to economic value, and doesn't follow the same rules. It works like fine art. The price of art doesn't move towards a final value; paintings bought and sold for centuries still appreciate faster than inflation. They aren't getting any better, the only thing that's changing is the amount of money people have to spend on paintings.

Human life appreciates the same way. In some number of years the government will decide that the economy can sustain valuing human life at a trillion dollars. And they'll look back at us and see that we undervalued life in the same way that we can look back and see that the Romans undervalued human life. Lives are worth whatever we can afford.
yeah, my eyes and brain hurt
I don't think it matters. With an index on username you don't need to scan. Without an index (like in the example), you have to scan on average half the table for existing names and the full table for missing ones. Adding a check for the password won't affect performance in a way that matters.

The main reason why you can't do this in a correctly written application is that it's incompatible with salted hashes, since you need to get the salt from the database to verify the hash. (You should calculate the hash in the app server, since it's expensive and scaling app servers is usually easier and cheaper than scaling db servers)
I agree, Adobe lost me to their competition. Affinity Designer, Publisher and Photo replaced the Adobe Suite for me and while I miss some functionality, I don't miss the monthly payments. Maybe if I was a fulltime designer I would not have a problem with Adobe.

It’s rarely the tool itself that’s the issue, it’s the fact that the entire workflow is built around that tool. Any potential rival must not only match what the incumbent provides, but exceed it so obviously that reworking decades old pipelines is worth it.
Certainly in Agda I've personally proved that the "Cauchy sequences of rationals" formulation is a partially ordered ring.

However, I believe (but have not tried it and have not proved) that if you stick with Agda's incredibly strict and purely computational logic, the proof does indeed fall over. The problem is that Bob can't identify in general whether one real is less than another (indeed, this would imply solving the halting problem), so he can't know whether he's allowed to pick s_n at time n or not: he can't know whether s_n is less than his current number and hence a valid choice.
And Sofitmage, which they promptly shut down after they acquired them. Basically, they bought all of the standard tools out there (yes, even max) and became a dominant player. There's an old interview floating around with one of the autodesk founders - he explains their strategy (was?) is to straight-up buy into both market share and competition.
Would that work with TWMs like i3? Most animated wallpaper programs I tried didn't work correctly.
It deserves to be in trouble considering they blatantly tried to kill speech of Saragon of Akkad and a few others. Monopoly shouldn't be abused in this manner.
Well I hear a lot of praise about Fusion 360. So it's not all bad.

And I don't agree with your statement. Blender is a great example for this. Although it is not constraint based it is a full feature package which is very fast. Compare this to 3dsMax which is exactly what you describe.
> Scaled Composites (I know a different kind of beast) is run by an aerospace engineer.

Scaled Composites made junk (one-off subsonic airplane prototypes), and was sold to Northrop Grumman in 2007. The current name is "Scaled."

I see it this way:

NASA tries to make a new launcher by itself, though with big inputs from your usual defence industry contractors.

Gets shut down by politicians.

SpaceX waltzes into the room, hires all fired engineers working on that from NASA, and LM for a dime, has NASA do half of their rocket for them, for NASA's money (and thus US government's.)

Essentially Musk resold the exiting RnD, and work of US government's engineers to US government.
While these stories are becoming all too common I’d like to think that while we’re in a golden age of being a ransomware payouts, it will lead to actually caring about security by many of the high-profile affected companies.

It may also lead to companies paying for a more aggressive response. Uber has been known to deal with fraud by eventually finding the fraudster, even in Nigeria, and having them "visited".[1]

Isn't ArchiCAD european?
I'd be very surprised if it were true in general. But there certainly has to be some non-computational component to the reals being a complete totally ordered Archimedean field, because the question of deciding the equality of two reals is uncomputable, so there is no procedure to decide the total order.
Really happy for them. Tailwind is so good that it’s actually made my website designs 5x better. I’m able to translate my thoughts into pixels so much faster and more accurately with Tailwind than with any other CSS system/framework.

If you haven’t tried it, you should. It definitely looks really silly (inline styles?!?) but it’s so powerful.
> The two companies have provided notice of their intent to explore a preliminary proposal that would involve a purchase of the TikTok service in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand and would result in Microsoft owning and operating TikTok in these markets. Microsoft may invite other American investors to participate on a minority basis in this purchase.

If the deal passes, Microsoft will get TikTok in four of the Five Eyes countries. I wonder why the UK service is not included?

This also means there will be a TikTok US, TikTok Global, and Douyin.

Perhaps the next phase for ByteDance will be completely separate TikToks where they license the technology to local companies. Then these local companies can sign content deals with other countries if they want to share.
This is like saying that the weapons advanced countries sell to less advanced countries are more "life-respecting".
That's such a strange rule to have for a tech instance. Is there really no better reason for it than that people want to bitch about things without actually wanting a suggestion on how to solve their issues?
There's so many bad things to say about AutoDesk beyond the unhelpful/broken "move to the cloud" ...

But if I had to pick one, it's AutoDesk's systematic attempt to build a closed ecosystem à la FaceBook / Apple.

They do it, among other things, via tight control of the data file format, and an ever-changing unpublished specification for those.

There was a time when there was decent exporters in AutoDesk products, so you could move the data out to other (better) tools.

That era is long gone, they have been removing exporter modules to all but their own formats.

Getting a DXF or DWF into any other app in 2020 is a freaking nightmare.

One thing that I find really frustrating about this is the bitrot that ensues. Better not hope to load work you did 10-15 years ago to get something useful out of it. That use case is not part of the AutoDesk plan.

They say it takes on average around 30 years for groundbreaking technology like the mouse and touch interfaces to become mature and commonplace. It must have been exciting for those who worked at places like PARC and SRI building the future and slowly seeing the fruits of your labor as you age. RIP Bill English.
19 hours isn't a huge concern, but the astronauts on one mission did go on strike when mission control tried to schedule 24 hours of activities per day (ie. no sleep.)
I was referring to the RULES pragma. My argument was that it is a general mechanism and not a built in understanding of list functions in the compiler. I suppose I ought not conflate the with Haskell but approximately everyone uses ghc.
I tend to follow the same pattern when I do the interviews. I agree that the technical part can be easily taught if the candidate has proper engineering foundation.
But I still ask technical questions. But only on the technologies the candidate did put on his resume. I want to check if the candidate understood the technologies he used.
After that I ask a more logical question. Not especially a real-life work problem. Like Sebastian Gebski says, it is more to see how the candidate reacts towards a problem and how he tries to solve it. I always start this exercise by saying to the candidate that there is no good or bad answers and that I want him to talk to me like if we were two colleagues trying to solve the same problem. And of course I help the candidate when he's stuck. The goal is also to assess his communication skills, which is a very understimated skills amongst developers.
"The same goes for deodorant. It is a must."

I perspire, particularly under my arms. I have been using deodorant to mask the odour, or anti-perspirant to stop the sweating. I figured that, as it's the bacteria that live in armpit that cause the unpleasant smell, maybe low-perfume, alcohol-based hand sanitiser might be the answer. It has worked, there is no perspiration smell! So far - two weeks and counting - it has turned out to be a cheap, effective answer to my body odour problem.

For a TUI program Wordstar seemed much more accessible than WordPerfect. But I guess WP was more aimed at professional secretaries and typists, and people with offbrand printers.

When I was first messing around with Linux, I was (pleasantly) surprised when a WordStar clone popped-up instead of vi. Googling says it was called joe editor.
I don't know. I have driven all Teslas (except the Y) at length, and I think I prefer the simplicity of the 3 UI overall (wiper controls on cars need trial and error to figure out esp if you change the car you drive often). This seems to be a one-off distraction issue blamed on this particular setting, but I seriously doubt that's a significant concern beyond the general "some rarely used controls are on the touchscreen" distraction problem, especially since the car has a pretty robust Autopilot assistant system that allows for a moment of looking at the screen.

I mean, it is secret. Hardly anyone on HN knows about this let alone the average Chrome user.

Google made the deliberate decision to not disclose this tracking, right? That's the definition of secret.

I won't speak to legality since I'm not a lawyer, and I never claimed it was illegal for that reason.

If this feature was disclosed to users with an opt-out, it'd be significantly less suspicious. Instead you've got a secret hard-coded mechanism for tracking users that is impossible to disable. Maybe the reason people are suspicious is because it's a little hard to trust "we don't use this for tracking! trust us!" from a company that makes their money from advertising and tracking (including shadow profiles).

Additionally, Google could be compelled to use this data to track users and lie about it publicly through the use of National Security Letters or other nation state mechanisms.

That makes sense, I have no clue about how architects actually work but I imagine Revit et al. have a ton of features that you would probably miss in Rhino when it gets to working out the nitty-gritty details of floorplans, generating section drawings, or working with BIM features?

Oh this is wonderful. I first learned about slide rules from a math teacher back in junior high. I wasn't until a few years after that that my little sister gave me a slide rule for Christmas. \o/

After graduating high school I spent two years in Germany. Whenever I found a flea market or an antique store, I'd search for slide rules. I found two that were in pretty good condition. People always seemed a little confused as to why I wanted these. I guess they just didn't see the beauty in these simple, elegant devices.
I guess there is a silly amount of work to make a usefull CAD program. FreeCAD etc has no "auto dimension tool" where you can manipulate dimension or set inter object constraints as in even the worst of the commercial CADs Solid Edge. No assembly either or sheet bending tool.

I tried to use FreeCAD but gave up. It is too limited even for simple designs. I would rather use paper and ruler since you can't easely change stuff anyway.

I agree. But... How many people said that when Greta was making headlines while being sailed around the world?

Teenagers are almost exclusively idiots. By design. They have had almost zero life experience so when someone props them up, as experts or authorities or cares who they are offended on behalf of - I recoil pretty hard at that. Anyone that’s talked to a 16yo for more than a couple minutes knows they certainly shouldn’t be taking any advice from them.

Yet... get the world stage if the cause is good or “good”.

I’m not surprised a teenager’s petition almost effected changed at Trader Joe’s, I’m surprised it didn’t work. Good for them.

Apple's push towards ARM in their desktop line. Apple appears to have both the right incentives and a solid plan to make the transition succeed, unlike Microsoft's half-hearted attempt at Windows on ARM.

ARM on the desktop would be one of the biggest things to happen in the desktop space, and it will be interesting to see if Apple succeeds with it, and if PC manufacturers follow suit as a result.
