Easy - ask the US government which ones are the bad guys. If you get too far away from where they draw the line between terrorists and freedom fighters, your platform won't be welcome anywhere in the western world anyway.
And also in most cases, anything remotely similar to a social fabric just vanishes. While I guess that the old tight-knit village is not something we should go back to, it both provided social stability and fulfilled needs.

I think this is still something people will need and while you can supplant relationships with long-distance jet-setting and intimacy with tinder-driven hookups neither of that is really contributing to a stable society but just eroding it currently (people who are just moving away from problems are not solving them and the ecological perspective of GP is just insane!)...
>the end of history.

Climate change killing us, while planning on "going to Mars", is one of the funniest modern narratives.

Unabetted climate change will be "devastating" in many ways, but it likely won't wipe us off the face of the earth in a generation. We are incredibly resourceful.
Is it clickbait if it's on bbc.co.uk?
I read the article. It sounded like he had a really bad experience at the Sea View Resort (on Wesley Barnes), so left reviews at lots of places warning people.

That's literally the whole point of writing reviews. To let others know what places are good, bad, etc.

Hopefully more people find out about the stupid treatment of this guy by the resort, as taking legal action against an ex-customer for giving bad reviews is far beyond reasonable.

Do we want 100 year old buildings?

The house where I grew up was made before Portland came to our zone, so it was made of lime mortar and rocks, some of them as big as a mellon, I found out when I tried to drill the walls to put a basketball basket.

It was demolished in the eighties, but not because it was in bad shape. I met the bulldozer operator years later and he recalled how he had a hard time with it.

I'm sure it would have been fine today, when it would be 100 y.o. or close. And I'm sure there's no other place where I'd rather live. It was cool in the summer, easy to warm in the winter, no mold, little noise from the outside.
> RISC-V is designed to the momentarily fashionable idea that status flags are a big hurdle in optimizing instruction sequencing.

> Modern cores rename status flags along with all the other registers, making them cheap.

The RISC-V is designed in particular for superscalar processors.
Renaming status registers does not make them cheap in superscalar microarchitecture.

Just as delay slots make superscalar microarchitectures even more complex.

All the microarchitectural states exposed by ISA, which allows optimization on scalar pipelined microarchitecture, make the implementation of superscalar microarchitectures more complex. Since these microarchitectural states do not represent what is actually happening in the hardware.

This explains why MIPS is so unpopular today, it is fundamentally incompatible with the superscalar microarch.
And this explains why RISC-V has chosen not to expose any microarchitectural states.
Twenty years ago or so it was "the end of history." Now it's a hinge? It sounds like historians keep finding solutions that are in need of problem. Or perhaps, a book or two needs to be sold?

Meanwhile, we're struggling to get past history properly re-paradigmed.

Similar background to yourself as an engineer, not in sales but as a co-founder often find the sales process a big part of my job.

We've implemented Strategic Selling see https://www.amazon.com.au/New-Strategic-Selling-Successful-C... which provides a great structure for us and a unified language inside our organisation.

Maybe not as useful if you're just trying to get started but does provide a structure to understand the sales process and why a sale closes or doesn't close.
and these nomads in the warmer countries are actively participating in the struggles there to keep them liveable for another century? I doubt it.
ecdsa speed is related to client performance, it has nothing to do with the power consumption of proof of work.
I'm in Germany. Had a quick look at the Ami. The "problem" is the maximum speed of 45 km/h. As inner-city traffic normally is 50 km/h this will make you kind of a disturbance for other motorists and this will turn people down or keep them from buying this. Not to mention that overland traffic is normally 100 km/h and well... 45 is quite slower... Nevertheless, good idea, I like it.
This only helps nodes verify blocks, the mining is what uses huge amounts of power and that won't change.

That's what I ended up with as well... looks pretty nice. It'll be interesting to see how much of my 11C experience transfers over, at least, that which I remember in the first place. I've never lost RPN (mainly because of good old dc), but the programming is a different story.

I am so trying that. I have to blow my nose quite often everyday and my nasal passages get frequently blocked especially when lying down trying to sleep. Fortunately, mucinex can fix that allowing me to sleep but fixing the source sounds better.

What would be the most useful thing to learn if I have 1 year of free time?
As uni student I have a a lot of free time to learn something useful. My goal is to leave my country so I'm kinda pondering on learning some useful skills for careers that I come across on job boards.
My current shortlist includes: -webdev -data science -devops

I am proficient in C++, frontend webdev basics (JS, html/css), and some python.

However, I am now at a road-block and don't know what to learn going forward.
Thanks. Requiring that userland apps can access the Linux kernel “normally” is a good definition of what it means to be a Linux OS. It seems like a much less arbitrary definition than requiring the presence of specific GNU parts.
I remember ticking this box on 2019 tax form, so that's nothing new.

There will be energy savings for the nodes that have a copy of the blockchain and need to verify transactions but not for the miners.

Market forces fundamentally tie the energy consumption of the miners to the price of bitcoin.
Censorship isn't all-or-nothing though - spoiler tags being a common example. It stops you from reading it and says "warning you don't want to read this because X", then leaves it up to you. You could censor misinformation/etc with this method, yet still be held accountable.
This whole need to create a narrative about all western history evil and then just ignoring history as a whole and that humans and human empires behave exactly the same no matter origin or creed is dishonest at best and malicious at worst.
How would they know that they "opens the source code"? How would they prove that in a court of law that they didn't reverse engineer it? Seems very fishy to me....
Well absolutely there has to be an alternative way in, be it serial console or a dedicated admin user who does not have keys in ldap. With sshd you would specify a local key instead of ldap for that specific user, for example

What about negative loops. If (when) the system consistently makes bad decisions, and people react negatively, the system will re-enforce those bad decisions with newfound evidence it was correct. Seems like the story of law enforcement in this country, except with the shine of a "system" to do it which will be trusted as unbiased.
The unfortunate truth is that once you pick apart the definitions of deep things like logic and math, you see that we don’t even all agree on them. We like to think that because we can describe something with math it’s inherently true, but the answer is pretty much always up for debate.

We found flaws in basic set theory and had to move to the updated Zermelo-Frankel set theory because of it. People try and create new foundations of math all the time for varying reasons.

Anyway, I see so many people speak with such conviction about truth and objectivity, that it’s refreshing to see someone show humility about what we actually know about our universe. Lots is still up for debate, is the sad truth.
The question is ill-posed. 'Have you stopped beating your wife?'

It seems you are better off asking whether all ontologies are bad first.

And no, I don't think ontologies are intrinsically bad. There's still hope NLP can make their creation and maintenance cost-efficient.

Sadly data protection agencies are understaffed and overwhelmed with requests. So if not hundreds of people complain about one company there will be no action (none of my complaints up to now has resulted in anything but notifications that I'm in a waiting queue - in some I'm for over a year now).

Indeed, Arrhenius definitely had a 'slight clue' in 1896. It is probably comfortable to think that we really could not have known, but I think the reality is that it is often so much easier to kick the can down the road than to be careful in the present moment.

I made a GDPR data deletion request to a certain large website like a year ago. There was some caveat about retaining some data that they legally have to hold on.

About 11 months after they confirmed that my data had been deleted, they sent me an email informing me about their changed Terms of Service. So I guess my email at least wasn't pruned. Who knows how much more data they are holding on.
Ask HN: When do you type instead of dictate?
Obviously coding, but when else is typing better than dictating? What issues do you encounter?

What are your best tips for using speech input for working with project/task management tools? (Mobile vs Desktop; do you add lists of tasks or just one task at a time; can you tag/categorize/add priority/direct tasks to the proper areas, etc via speech).

What are you preferred speech recognition/dictation/speech-to-text tools? (MS Word Mobile added dictation in April—helpful to anyone?)

My personal requirements are:
• Input via "wake" command—no tapping/typing.
• No "repeat that back to me".
• Ability to speak lists of items and tag/categorize/prioritize direct individual tasks on the list to different areas in ClickUp or Asana.
... of course high recognition accuracy

The 'odd email' is just irrefutable evidence of Cloudflare's retention of the poster's email address, which is considered personal data under GDPR.

If Cloudflare is unable to even remove a deleted account from a mailing list, how do you know they have actually deleted ANY other information?
Consider that a poorer person's life could be devastated by just a few offences. While a very rich person never bothers to ever consider laws as they can easily buy their way out of nearly all of them thousands of times over.

That should probably be priced in relative to their ability to buy get-out-of-jail cards.

Edit: buy, not 'but'

You see this with nearly every SaaS provider. There's clearly a split between the email/pii in the control plane (admin dashboard) for your account, and then separate (often third party) spam tooling that they "sync" with, where the syncs work maaaaayyyybbeee 80% of the time. Department A handles the cplane (tech) and Department B handles the spam (marketing) and they try to go about their day/month/quarter with as little interaction as possible. The end result is how your data/email is handled in one is different than how its handled in another and they can often ping pong or feedback off each other in automated ways that make trying to unsubscribe a confusing game of playing byzantine generals with other peoples products.

Now, just because I understand and sympathize with how things got this way, doesn't mean I'm not glad this guy is holding CFs feet to the fire for doing something about it. This emergent anti-pattern/"worst"-practice needs to improve, who better than the poster child for consumer tech saas.

I can't vouch for your experience but as a sysadmin myself I've found 100% of the companies I've worked for has had dedicated sysadmins ;)

I'm being a little flippant here though, I am aware that developers are often asked to wear the sysadmin hat too.
According to this article: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190717-climate-change-w..., it's less than 1% vs 10% in things like plywood and does not use dangerous chemicals:

"
Other engineered woods such as plywood and MDF are around 10% adhesive (glue), often urea-formaldehyde, which can produce hazardous chemicals during recycling or incineration. CLT, however, is below 1% adhesive, and typically uses a bio-based polyurethane. The planks are bonded together under heat and pressure to fuse that small amount of adhesive using the moisture of the wood. To look at, smell and touch, it’s as pure wood as a child’s tree house – knots and all.
"

In any case, there are already quite a few buildings that use this so, I'd say this is a non-issue.
Maybe. But I don’t really mind as a user as long as they use the system dialog. And I use it as a developer myself.
Showers and Pants Are So 2019 – six-word memoirs about the pandemic
The meeting room hardware virus
Apparently, it's the Brazosport Water Authority, and the warning applies to 6 cities and 2 prisons: "Angleton, Brazoria, Richwood, Oyster Creek, Clute and Rosenberg, Texas, as well as for the Dow Chemical plant in Freeport and the Clemens and Wayne Scott Texas Department of Criminal Justice corrections facilities."

https://www.ketv.com/article/8-texas-cities-alerted-to-a-bra...

The prisons is a bad situation, as I imagine the prisonsers don't have much they can do about the tap in their cell. Some allow immersion heaters, some don't, and the prisoners typically have to buy them with funds their families provide.

What is it about Erlang's AST, that attracts so many language designers?
I've used it for auto generated diagrams of our code. Partly because it's what I know, partly because, surprisingly, there isn't anything free similar.

It's crashy for moderate sized graphs. And doesn't have quite enough layout and styling features. It's good enough but I'm on the lookout for something better.
The common wisdom in a lot of the States is that car size is an arms race. If you drive a little car, you’re in more danger in an accident. 70% of auto sales last year were SUVs and trucks too.

The city I just left, Boise ID, had 80% of people driving to work alone in these suburbitanks.
Rust doesn't make much use of libc on Windows; it mostly bypasses libc and makes direct calls to the Windows API.
AFAIK it only uses a few functions like memcpy, memset, memcmp (LLVM itself emits calls to these) and the math library (sin, atan2 etc.) from the Microsoft libc.
sure, I'll get in touch by email.
>Do we want 100 year old buildings?

I don't want a new house. Why? Because I refuse to live in a house with no natural ventilation. Most modern houses need air condition or at least ventilation systems, because they need to be so energy efficient, that there is no other way to get fresh air in. The fact that a house needs to be pressure tested seems insane.

Sure you can leave the windows open, but that defeats the purpose. Modern home needs to be ventilated three times a day, that means opening all the windows in the morning, when you get home in the afternoon and before going to bed. How many people will remember to do that?

The air in a modern home is often so dry that my nose start running the minute I enter. I don't want to live in that sort of climate.

Depending on the country, I think people should aim for home built from the late 1940 to mid 1970. Most likely additional isolation and new windows have been added over the years, making them reasonably energy efficient.
If I could explain why it feels like a magic trick, it would immediately stop feeling like a magic trick.

The house I grew up in in rural UK was built in about 1910. My university accommodation was built in the 1880s. The first place I lived in when I moved to London was Victoria, as is where I'm living now. The newest place I've lived for longer than a few months was a flat-share in a 1960s block. For huge amounts of people, >100 year old housing is the norm.

I’ve seen a variety of solutions to this working on different products but by far the best I have worked with so far is OS Login from Google with their Identity Aware Proxy product.

It’s allows developers to manage their own certificates (adding a new machine or rotating a key) whilst allowing us to use the GCP IAM tooling to grant access to certain machines - all without hosting bastion servers ourselves or exposing the servers themselves to the public internet.

As it’s based on PAM its also been relatively painless to integrate with other functions like audit logging.

If you’re using GCP already - I’d highly recommend it!
It's the reasonable thing to do when context collapses so easily on tweets.
What you are describing is experiential change. Instead of feeling beholden to a task, which in your equation is negative time, automation frees you to have opportunity for other activities that you might experience as positive time.

Another way to view these experiences is that they all take place in the finite amount of time that you have here on Earth. That time doesn't change. Only your experience of it changes.

You can control your experiences by cultivating your thoughts.

For example, you might enjoy the time it takes you to design and build a system for automating a task. Contrast that experience with that of somebody who hates the idea of doing work to automate a task, and would rather just get the task over and done with, and never consider automation.

Who is right, and who is wrong?

You could calculate an answer by applying your maths, and that would be one answer, which might come out in your favour, or might not, depending on whether you could automate a task in less time than it would take to perform the task.

But you already know that you're coming out ahead, even if it takes you 10 times longer to design and implement the automation than it does to perform the task manually, because you enjoy the process of automating tasks. That's because you've cultivated your thoughts.
It's not always that simple. Half of the time when I run into errors, there's no one solution that either works or 100% applies to my case so it's a lot of trial and error. I'm also not the most skilled developer and manuals are often way too verbose and difficult to parse if they don't contain very clear examples.

Sometimes, we just need someone to help translate our needs into a different wording and everything clicks into place. I'm sure that this causes a lot of repeated questions, but that's why when someone links a relevant question, it might be enough to solve the issue.
