Seems likely. Someone who has seen the actual source would have to confirm, but my understanding from back in “the day” was that Server 2003 was based on the XP SP0 tree, but that XP SP2 and later were re-based on the Server 2003 tree as part of the security focus of SP2.
Krugman on Japan: http://web.mit.edu/krugman/www/jpage.html

Unfortunately there is no publication date but the meta tags in the sources and the dates of linked documents hint to ~1999.

Also, for people who don't have the context, check out the "Lost Decade": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Decade_(Japan).

> The Lost Decade or the Lost 10 Years (失われた十年, Ushinawareta Jūnen) was a period of economic stagnation in Japan from about 1991 to 2001, caused by the Japanese asset price bubble's collapse in late 1991. From 1991 to 2003, the Japanese economy, as measured by GDP, grew only 1.14% annually, well below that of other industrialized nations.
Hey, there - CodeShip employee here.

I can understand the language ambiguity, but note that there are two posts there. The initial post, focused only on the Github token breach, as well as the updated post expanding the scope.

The line quoted is referring to the scope in the update, not the original Github token breach which we noted originally did in fact mean repos had potentially been compromised.
Being somewhat wealthy probably helps significantly.
Gather (YC S20) Is Hiring An Engineer and a Head of Community
No, that's a really important point. Right now, the plan is to keep the borders closed until a vaccine is ready.

If that doesn't happen within a reasonable timeframe, then we definitely have to reassess our strategy.

But in the meantime, yes, COVID is effectively "over" within the country.
All the remedies adopted in one country cannot be replicated in another given differences in systems. But it’s always good to
learn from them.

Besides Sweden, New Zealand, China is the only country which is able to control COVID-19 and return to normal. The golden week holiday is coming and local tourism is booming. Difficult to book hotels, domestic air tickets, fast speed train tickets. Also no need to wear masks, but some people still do when taking airplane or fast trains.

Based on first hand information from friends living in China can say life is normal except for imported cases. All international travellers need to do COVID-19 test and wait in isolation areas until the result came back. If results are negative need to quarantine in designated hotels for 14 days, except for travellers from few countries which needs 7 days if it’s for essential pre-approved business travel.
I haven't used a considerable amount of time using st (I think for a total of 2 days on a VM?) I liked st just fine but I found the day-to-day performance of kitty really solid.

It feels like kitty takes _slightly_ longer to start up but it's still a tiny amount of time.

There's also the different configuration options, kitty has a config file but st (if memory serves) needs to be recompiled for changes.

I've found that initially kitty can have trouble rendering fonts with correct spacing but that takes a couple of minutes to tweak to your liking. And I think the colour configurations are a little more complex? I haven't had to change the config for a while though.

The GPU acceleration does make stdout much faster if it's unbuffered (in my experience) and on a 144hz monitor it looks so much smoother.

Hopefully that's enough of a comparison? Sorry I couldn't give more feedback, as mentioned I've only used st for a short time.
> The idea that people might infect themselves by handling their own masks sounds very far-fetched to me. What mechanism is supposed to do that?

The article I linked discusses the only study on cloth masks from 2015. The study has some limitations but showed that cloth masks had a higher rate of infection.

In the general population it's not hard to imagine compliance will not be perfect. That is why we need controlled trials.

There have also been assumptions that homeopathy doesn't harm. Scientists did a survey and discovered that therapists were recommending that their patients didn't vaccinate. This is from the book Trick or Treatment.

TLDR: Testing assumptions is very important. Lives depend on it.
I really hope that Gitter chat histories will be still kept search-engine indexed the way they are right now.
> The other day I was looking for a simple, dependency free, tabs component. You know, the canonical example of something that is easy to do with Web Components, the example 50% of tutorials mention. I didn’t even care what it looked like, it was for a testing interface. I just wanted something that is small and works like a normal HTML element. Yet, it proved so hard I ended up writing my own!

I was looking for some examples of the better approach the author seems to want, but didn't find them.

Found some in the article linked near the bottom:

https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2017/02/designing-html-apis...

The author gives an example of a list-type component. It can be initialized in one of two ways:

- JS-first: an empty list element is added and a JS initializer populates the children from data

- HTML-first: the full markup for the list is added, including children, and the JS works in the background to build the right internal data representation

The rest of the article gives specific, actionable advice on building HTML-first components. For this reason, I think it's a better article to start with.
I found a compiler bug in Julia within my first 5 minutes of using it, and it took some courage to report it as a bug since I was so convinced it was my fault.
Cloudflare freely admits they use traffic data across clients for DDOS analysis. Which seems like a good tradeoff to me. Not even really a tradeoff.
It's not just about how I expect the web to work, I'm looking at Google's website on Google's phone in Google's web browser and it's _janky_. It's just bad. I as a software developer feel confused and disoriented, how is Grandma supposed to read this?
That's a ratio. 0.054 = 5.4%, etc.
How is it that 5 hasn't shown up on MKBHD's channel??

Did he piss off the Pixel team with saying that 4 was "a massive victim of its own hype"?
Exactly this.

The libertarian "Minimize the federal government" is an extremely misguided fanatical view which is devoid of any fact-based reasoning. Federal investments have lead to transformative change in most sections of the US economy. Federal Reserve keeping the interest rates low and providing unlimited liquidity is whats keeping the stock market from tanking today. Federal investments will be key to de carbonizing the US economy and reducing income inequality (e.g. by increasing the minimum wage).
Is Windows firewall supposed to apply to WSL? I never expected that! I'm serious - I run a different firewall on my onlinux.

Can you confirm that WSL is supposed to be dealing with (the nightmare) of the windows firewall for internet access? How does fedora / ubuntu etc coordinate / know to do this?
Gitea falls into a similar category

Agreed, I don't know much about biology but I can see many limitations with this brute-force approach.

We live in a finite world, the infinite monkeys metaphor has no value.
If the question is why not use Julia? The answer is - for several reasons. I started implementing Clasp before Julia was a thing. The Julia language keeps changing and it doesn't have a standard like Common Lisp, C++ and C do. I need tight C++ interoperation and Clasp does C++ interoperation like no other language I've see. Clasp uses C++ exception handling and calling conventions and this allows us to compile and link C++ code with Common Lisp - it's all LLVM under the hood. Clasp stack frames and C++ stack frames are interleaved and try/catch and RAII and Common Lisp unwind-protect and dynamic variable binding work perfectly between C++ and Common Lisp code.
Having worked with the "original" Watson, I saw first hand how the system stumbled upon a particularly stupid but hard problem as it tried to scale.

In 2014, I saw a demo of the original Discovery Advisor, which was at the time the closest commercial equivalent to the "Jeopardy system." This demo took in Wikipedia as a corpus, and a question was asked: "what country produced the greatest amount of wheat in 2012?" The system returned a list of countries as answers, so it wasn't quite nonsensical, but it was clear the answers were incorrect. The answers were countries like "England," "Norway," or "Zimbabwe." This system also returned passages from Wikipedia as supporting evidence, but the passages weren't about wheat production. Instead, they were about quotes that contained the word wheat... such as "let's cut the wheat from the chaff."

So of course, some smart-alec in the room Googles the same question, and this was before Google had the ability to return factual answers to factual questions, so instead we got a list of web results. The top result, interestingly, was a Wikipedia article titled "Wheat Production by Country." Opening that article presented a table that clearly showed that China produced the greatest amount of wheat in 2012.

Unfortunately, that Watson system at the time didn't read information from tables. I'm not sure if it does now, but I do know that reading data from tables in a manner that can be easily integrated and scaled within a broader semantic processing system is quite difficult. I'm not as focused on the space as I once was, so I'm not sure if the problem has been well solved yet. If not, I'd say it's a worthy area to invest in a solution.
As a current YouTube TV subscriber this confuses the hell out of me. I can't imagine what your average non-techy consumer thinks.
I liked the Pixel 1's metal backing which is my understanding why Wireless Charging was not possible. All things considered, the tradeoff of metal phone vs. wireless is a pretty good choice to have depending on how you use your phones.

Not to mention the pixel 4's glass design makes it heavy.

Do you have a public website or anywhere I can read more about your project? And if I'm interested, how can I contact you?
I'd love to read a discussion about how ActivityPub is too complex, but searches for "AcivityPub overcomplex" and "ActivityPub complex" didn't return anything in the first ~20 results or so. Do you have a pointer to one of the places it is described as overcomplex?
Another disclaimer: lots of old hardware doesn't work anymore. The electrolytic caps evaporated ages ago and the failure modes can sometimes be spectacular. Commodore 64 power supplies for example tended to fail in a way where they would dump high voltage over the line and fry the attached machine.

Old chips can definitely go bad as well. However, many of the machines were simple enough that it's possible to diagnose and fix the problem with a bit of knowledge and some gumption.
It is functionally identical but completely theoretical and not achievable in practice. There's no way you can achieve that level of homogeneous control in a large democracy with states that have heterogeneous beliefs and political values, which is what you have when a democracy is sufficiently large.

If New York was isolated totally and completely self governed, you have a hope of achieving what NZ achieves.

Even a country as small as Australia is evidence of this thesis. They can get it under control in one state but a cluster pops up in another and it becomes a never ending game of whack a mole. If Australia was only Sydney, covid would be a distant memory. If Australia, population of 25 million, can't eliminate it, then trying to do so in a democracy with 300 million is a pipe dream.
Which XP 64-bit release? (IA-64, x86-64, both?)
Why are K-pop groups so big?
The numbers cannot really be compared.
In Sweden they count any death where the patient had the virus, or had it in the last two weeks, as a COVID death. The other countries count differently.

Most deaths in Sweden where in care homes of elderly. In Finland, for example, I believe only deaths at hospitals are counted as COVID deaths.

We will see in a couple of years what is up and what was down of this whole debacle.
Still not good, confusing and not very fast. Like Keybase four years ago. They have some catching up to do and I hope they do it before Keybase is shut down.

If a Riot contributor is reading this comment, go try Keybase out while you still can, there are things it does well.

I don't cherry-pick much in git, but I'm guesing rerere doesn't work with it?
And why might you assume I don't use them?

I do, and they are useful. If I had to type them in as comments, I would still use them, and probably not suffer too much.

They are a good thing, but I really think Python has bigger issues ahead. I'm beginning to wonder if Julia will overtake it in scientific programming, a notion I would have considered ridiculous a mere year ago. And that, I think, would be a shame - good job for Julia, but for me, the real magic sparkle of Python is that it is a first-class choice at so many things, _including_ data science. If the herd moves on, and Python becomes yet-another-2nd-choice for data science, that would be a real blow to its ecosystem.
>Your login password is (supposed to be) the key material for the encryption, which is stored off-device, preferably in your head.

This is referencing the Touch Bar repair which means that the user has encrypted their drive with Touch ID. The only reason any repair would be harder is because the Touch ID sensor is paired to the secure enclave. The same goes for the SSD. Without the key, as you stated, you shouldn't be able to access the data so I don't see how that's any different than "having a data recovery mechanism". A data recovery mechanism shouldn't exist if you don't have the proper keys.
The idea of the a linux distribution is going to be using the WINDOWS firewall?? seems a bit crazy to me.

I expect the distributions on WSL to use their own firewall - that's half of the fun of using WSL.

PLEASE don't push fake news like this that results in distribution on WSL having to deal with / modify the window firewall - that would be a total nightmare!
Wait until their AI enables customers to target people grieving from the death of a loved one.

This is borderline sickening.

I think they could feasibly make the case for selling data to drug and research companies for the purposes of medical advancement ... but beyond that it's ridiculous.

I'm generally realpolitik about these kinds of issues, but even this to me feels evil.
Google has had various products and efforts over the years to do exactly that, so I'm not sure if "lazy" is the right word. Knol was doomed from the start because it foolishly went head-to-head with Wikipedia. Other efforts, like Freebase, were fairly successful, and knowledge graph today is pretty great for what it does, both as part of search results but even more so when powering their ML/vision/NLP APIs.

Looking through Golden's website they seem to want to do all of the same, but using their own (also user-contributed) content, aiming to make it accessible and valuable enough that companies will pay $1000 per month per employee (!) for it. I know almost nothing about the product so will hold off too much judgement, but that sounds like a pipe dream.
They need to do away with downvotes and use flagging as a means of getting rid of trolls and low-effort posts - f.e. "lol" and such replies. The same drivel they harp on about how FB is stifling contrarian thinking is very well present on HN.

No one is disputing the definition of "leak(ing)" rather what traffic is being leaked, which is not VPN traffic as the title suggests and the Mullvad link clearly explains. edit: the title has since been modified.
Huh - you want linux distributions to have to play with the windows firewall rules? You want windows firewall getting messed up by linux containers?

These VPN authors are just idiots - let's stop over complicating things. Half the time people LIKE that they can use linux firewall features on their linux hosts for stuff.

I think you're right about the attitude among techies - especially those around San Francisco - and I think that's part of the reason why our reputation is in decline. A lot of America sees us as a bunch of creeps spying on everything they do and they aren't wrong about that.

Video records are a special class of data covered by the Video Privacy Protection Act. The tangible cost is the risk that your viewing history would be used to attack you. It happened before and that's what spurred the creation of that act.

There is the gomuks client (https://github.com/tulir/gomuks) for the command line. I'm not sure about the Debian package, though.
But you don't need to be an island to close your borders. Yes, some borders are porous and it would be ineffectual, but fundamentally, if a country commits to isolation, they will be isolated, island or not.
Both Vietnam and China have a track record of covering up disease outbreaks. They also both use homegrown tests for COVID-19. It is not unreasonable to discount their figures without independent verification.
To that point, Hawaii currently has 1/7th the per capita mortality rate of the entire US.

Hawaii's mortality rate is nearly 1/3 the rate of Canada (which has done a solid job by comparison to the US) and 1/6 the rate of Sweden. Finland, which has one of the elite outcomes in the West, is how far you have to go to find a better outcome (Finland's mortality rate is only 2/3 that of Hawaii).
Mozart not much better, but more recent artist seem to score better, though the pages don't contain any content and the meta-information is also not great.

A search for Merkel delivers an arms company before Angela Merkel, GDP delivers some companies.

A search for Mercedes Benz doesnt deliver anything too great. Snowden requires an Edward to find him, NSA is a company, Chrome has no info.

Maybe I'm looking for the wrong terms, but it seems like they basically just imported companies from public domain and some random stuff on the side, which mostly is just the title of something.

Did a larger, non-island country without totalitarian control over their population unsuccessfully employ the same strategy as NZ? You can't have this both ways.
No, it's jarring for anyone using a mouse with scrollwheel as well. The motion ends up being very choppy. In fact, I'm convinced that this style of web page is designed by designers using apple touchpads (eg. MBP) who think everyone else uses them as well.
Haha! But not all of the ones where vim does! Right? Unless someone added it back. I haven't followed development since the early days.
I'm surprised you had as much trouble with the Finger scanner as you did. I never had to retrain my fingers in all the time I've owned it (going on 4 years now)

I live in the Canadian prairies, so cold + long winters are no stranger to me, and the fingerprint just always worked. The face unlock fails more in the winter because I'll be wearing a scarf or headcover which renders it useless. Heck, even in the summer it fails frequently because I'll have sunglasses on
Are they teaching basic financial math in school these days? Based on my interactions with the under 30 crowd, I'd say important topics like interest rates on borrowed money and tax fundamentals are completely absent.
As several have pointed out, you can get a few Teenage Engineering products at IKEA. And they are surprisingly good (and not awfully expensive).

I replaced my Sonos with a Frekvens speaker (with a subwoofer) at the cabin for three reasons:

- It works with bluetooth, and to be frank, the Sonos' firmware is terrible if you have dicky wifi
- It can handle audio that has been sped up (like Audible at 1.5-1.7 times normal speed, which is the speed range I currently listen to audio books at). The Sonos can't without getting severe hickups.
- The Frekvens has room for a battery so I can take it out on the deck

Actually, we brought the Sonos home to have in my wife's home office but she sto^H^H^Hborrowed my second Frekvens speaker because she is "tired of dealing with all the shit the Sonos throws up".
Bezels are good. My fingers regularly activate stuff at the edges of the screen because the bezels are too small on my Pixel 3A.
"Most science" meaning physics. Calculus is of little use to either chemistry or biology. I took three semesters of it, and used very little of since despite majoring in biochemistry and getting a doctorate in microbiology. On the other hand, I wish I had studied more statistics. That's what is actually useful.
The firewall probably applied in the non-virtualized WLS1, but doesn't anymore in the new Hyper-V-based WSL2.
Depends on where you're from. US appears to be quite a bit more embracing of that viewpoint than people from other countries who aren't so well tuned to US societal sensitivities (which can be very difficult to navigate).
The bigger issue in general is that college curriculum in general needs to be realigned to fit the needs of the current marketplace. I'm personally an accounting major, took business calculus in college and currently work in the tax industry. Five years after graduation and four years working professionally, I have never used anything remotely related to calculus. Statistics and data analytics, on the other hand, I use all the time. The vast majority of my peers also say the same thing - they never use calculus.

So I would say the statements in the article are true. Colleges these days are dinosaurs at changing and keeping up with the times. The reality is most college majors probably need to be shifting more heavily towards computer related skills in general. The whole idea that you need a CS degree to learn programming skills is an obsolete idea as well. Computer programming is a general-purpose skill as far as I am concerned. Anyone studying a STEM major needs to know how to write computer programs, at least at a basic level.
