You'd have to roll your own deep_copy by hand (or code generation) for every single data type.
Because they were alarmed? Governments are not immune to disinformation themselves and can experience pressure from a population rallied by falsehoods.
Not if you want to keep quality. GPU encoding blocks are pretty poor in comparison to SW encoders.
Maybe not permanently, but it wouldn't make more sense if they were just allowed to start again next week.

But actually, since the coverage here isn't saying that the industry is being shut down, you're probably right.
Bddisasm: The Bitdefender x86 Disassembler
Yes, but it comes at the cost of quality/bandwidth. When it comes to videos you can trade image quality for file size. High end nvidia GPUs are better in bit rate constrained situations for streaming, but they're not as good at reducing file size as the slower encoders.

When it comes to video hosting it's largely about bandwidth. Imagine you had a video that got 1 million views. 110 MB vs 100 MB file size. That's 110 TB vs 100 TB bandwidth - a difference of 10 TB. At a cent per GB that's $100 difference. Now imagine a video with 10 million views or 100 million views.

And the real difference in file size is likely to be larger.
Git is a decentralized version control system. GitHub is a centralized source code repository. That GitHub happens to use Git is ancillary.

Well, the onerous error handling is a symptom of the lack of generics.

If so the solution would be to not shut down the farms because a version of corona that is not contagious would be really helpful. I’m not buying your argument.

This is probably a dumb question but are there any data sciencey or tensorflowy things that can be done faster on a quantum computer?
AFAIU, SLAAC and RA were supposed to be the answers for the problems solved by DHCP. But people don't really get SLAAC and RA. I think, based on my own personal experience and ignorance, this is partly because SLAAC and RA emphasize the adoption of sophisticated prefixing and routing strategies that people (who aren't BGP router administrators) aren't accustomed to caring about, let alone rigorously thinking about and accommodating, especially on their LANs. Also, neither directly solve the problem of advertising DNS hosts and other options, like NTP hosts, that piggyback on DHCP. I'm not particularly well versed with all things IPv6, but AFAIU the alternatives arrived belatedly--e.g. RFC 6106 (currently RFC 8106) which extends RA to propagate DNS configuration. I'm not sure if NTP and other DHCP extensions even have non-DHCPv6 alternatives, yet.

I don't know if DHCPv6 will win the day, or the vision of a leaner, more distributed addressing and routing infrastructure will prevail. And I don't have any opinions on which is better. I just know it's all rather confusing and still in flux.
The key here is that if they DIDN'T comply with it, the RIAA might sue them. Even if they were to win it (because a judge determines the takedown provisions don't cover it or for another reason), they'd be in for a costly legal battle. Moreover, without the Title II provisions, they would be liable for having distributed the circumvention in the past!

On the other hand, if they DO comply with it, the RIAA is extremely unlikely to sue them, whether this is covered by the safe-harbor provisions of Title II or not.
Ok, if just checking whether a newer version is available counts towards the rate limit, than that is just completely insane!

EDIT: Yeah, that makes sense given the protocol's design. Anyways, HEAD requests don't count, so hopefully the client can utilise those (or be modified to). [/EDIT]

And yes, Maven has a design much better suited to having a local "proxy" (in fact, it always does that on localhost anyways), but the setup looks pretty straightforward and I really don't see much reason to not use it on all dev, test and CI machines. I'd also use it in production, but even if you'd prefer not to, production servers don't pull that often and updates are usually done through hooks, not constantly polling a repo.

So basically, from my perspective (handful of servers, each with some 20 containers) this change will be thoroughly annoying, but will force me to set up caching which will make things much faster and also decrease the reliance on an external service for day-to-day operation. Not a fan of it, but yi completely see the reason why they did it.
Buying a farm doesnt look like it is a bad idea. You just need to keep and healthy life and make sure not to be overloaded by the work load that there is, especially at the beginning. I think being a young farmer in 2020 can be difficult, but there is a possibility of bringing something new, some freshness into this depressed industry.

Well, it's a bit like saying that computers of the electronic kind are a crutch for bad computers of the human kind.

Or that planes are a crutch for bad travelers who can't fly under their own power.
Chances are their days in Denmark were counted as well, making this a much easier choice.
True? I personally have no doubt (of course, programs vary a lot, so there are certainly cases where the effort is comparable).

Besides the unstructured trees, another example, although more high-level, is interfaces. They're a concept required in statically typed languages (some languages they have a simpler design than others), but not in dynamically typed languages (which have duck typing).

If you have a couple of types that you need to abstract, in a S.T. you'll need to define an interface, the method signatures, which include the return types, and maybe (in lower level languages) the generic types and the super interfaces. Even something as (relatively) simple as generalizing a tuple and a matrix types will require some design.

In D.T. languages, zero effort is required. As long as an object responds to a method (name), it's game.

I think it's not realistic to assume that the concepts that need to be taken care of in a S.T. language are comparable to the ones in a D.T. language. And more concepts imply more cognitive load. And cognitive resources are limited :-)

Abortion Is Wrong: Steelmanning a Position I Do Not Hold
You break your own ToS and DMCA policies by banning users who repost youtube-dl code.

You need to re-read the Github TOS, because this is absolutely covered by it already (see Section F of their TOS).

You potentially also lose your safe harbor restrictions in the process.

That is false. They could lose their safe harbor if they did not respond to a presumptively valid DMCA notice.

Until github starts following DMCA processes properly, I CANNOT respond to the existing takedown request, since I have no standing. It's not my repo.

Pretty sure that the Legal Dept at Github knows more about the DMCA process than a random non-lawyer on HN. It's something they deal with on a regular basis.

Because github has decided to act as an arbiter on behalf of the RIAA, rather than a neutral third party, I cannot follow this process. github short-circuits this process at #2 by threatening to remove the repo and ban my account.

This is false.

That is probably for the best. Customers with unrealistic expectations are not worth the effort to keep.

There is an active discussion about this on in the issue tracker: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/41716

It looks like there is a willingness to do this, but not a clear solution yet.
Have to agree. I finally made it to the service after a huge survey AND huge onboarding experience only to find out the product is simple and easy to use and the onboarding was more confusing than the actual product haha. Product's great. Onboarding, not so much.
Please provide a number instead of ‘so many’ and ‘it seems’. I’ve seen ‘so many’ alarmist stories on this but no statistics at all, this is turning me rather skeptical.
Not really it doesn't, but you have to adopt practices of fast food companies in a seemingly perverse way. You end up with slightly less healthy product than by not doing so, but save a lot of work.
The practices involved are batching and preservation by freezing, chilling and sometimes vacuum or atmosphere packing. More rarely use of certain preservative agents. (E.g. antioxidants.)
Capital investment to do these is rather low, it's mostly the knowledge that's missing. Almost nobody teaches this kind of cooking, it's university level education for some reason.

The problem is, those practices are still better scalable for bigger groups. So if we could escape the individualism of cooking more cheaply somehow... Yes we did. It's just the mainstream has decided that you have to pay a tax on a healthier, better food.

Why is a proper salad or a soup twice as expensive per calorie than a burger? It's not the amount of work and definitely not the price of the materials.
That's what I told Firefox, but for some reason video autoplays just fine all the time so...
>Even though the entire “special” address assignments are exactly 1.271% of the entire IPv6 address space, we’re still allocating giant swathes of addresses. History repeats itself, you can see that right here.

So what? The whole point of IPv6 is that wasting address space like that is irrelevant - there is going to be enough space regardless
> Your retained-mode GUI framework isn't doing dirty rectangles anymore anyway; it's going to redraw everything anyway. (Not every frame, but upon receiving an event.)

Except that a a retained mode GUI can easily tell that no redraw is necessary and it will be a no-op.

> With modern GPUs, redrawing a whole frame is super cheap, even with integrated graphics.

It's cheap as in fast, but it's not cheap in power consumption having to wake up the GPU from sleep state to redraw what's already on the screen.

This matters with battery powered devices.

> The gain, then, is going to come from not having to rebuild the scene graph every frame.

Rebuilding a scene graph that's based on CSS-style flexbox layout is REALLY fast. It's a linear time operation in the worst case and a lot of the work can be just skipped if the layout doesn't need updating.

Check out Raph Levien's talk which I linked to in my top level posting. He discusses the implementation details to make this smoking fast.

Text layout is by far the most time consuming operation in rebuilding a GUI scene graph.

The way this is done in the Druid UI library is probably a lot faster than what ImGui does, if you exclude the time it takes to do text layout with HarfBuzz.

All of this is pretty moot point, because the most important factor in performance and battery consumption is not to wake up the GPU to do unnecessary work.
I think it kinda doesn't matter. Project Zero had already given them an extra 14 days; GH should have made better use of it. If you're constantly making exceptions to your rules for people, the rules end up being more flimsy and less respected.

Regardless, GH had already disclosed this a month before, so their desire for 2 more days was unnecessary: the cat was already out of the bag, through their own actions.
How fast is code generated by graal?

In languages like Java w/o value types & virtual methods everywhere, interprocedural analysis is very important. Even otherwise I believe interprocedural optimizations are more important than small register fiddling or cute integer arithmetic tricks. But when you reach a dead-end in optimized code, all these things matter.

Sure, it may not matter for Erlang / Elixir on server.
It indicates that this is a control panel. The orientation is yes, random. The rest of the icon personalizes it.

It was same for other file types: the general shape plus some personalization. Documents were taller rectangles resembling a sheet of paper with a folder corner, templates were like two sheets on top of each other, programs were squares rotated to 45 degrees, often with a hand, folders were wider rectangles with a tab, clippings were wider rectangles with a serrated edge.
AIUI, address translation isn't how it's done. Rather, if you want the hosts on a network to be reachable under some other prefix, you advertise that other prefix (in addition) and then the hosts have an extra address.

IPv6 hosts have lots of addresses. v4 needs to scrimp, v6 doesn't.
I tried ignoring all the bullies and not encouraging them. That's what all the adults said to do.

I tried already before I was six. Kept trying until I was sixteen. It never worked. It only got worse.

I ignored them, they pushed me down a flight of stairs and then beat me when I was trying to catch myself. I didn't respond to them trying to pick a fight, they swept my legs so my head hit the stone floor and then sat on top of me hitting me.

Luckily, at sixteen I started upper secondary school and got away from the problem children. It was a technology programme and people were there because they'd actually chosen it. But it took years before I could be at least a bit less withdrawn and socially awkward.
I believe the GP was attempting to draw attention to the fact that the majority of Ross's sentence was based on mere allegation of a crime. (Granted, with good evidence, but without due process.) The probable reason charges were dropped on the conspiracy to commit murder charge was it probably would have fallen to an entrapment defence. Hiring a hitman was suggested and pushed by someone acting on behalf of the government at the time.

Ross is no hero, but also, let's not pretend the court system acted reasonably here. If they had even a 50/50 chance of getting him on conspiracy to commit murder, they would have brought the charge to trial. The prosecutor didn't drop the charge to be nice. The evidence of entrapment probably would have hurt the case as a whole, so they dropped the conspiracy to commit murder charge. Yet, it appears this strong suggestion that he committed a serious crime played the majority role in his sentencing.

This should scare anyone around the world, given the long reach of US law enforcement. The prosecutor kept embarrassing entrapment details out of the trial and still got a heavy sentence for just the allegation of a crime. The prosecutor got to have their cake and eat it too.
Denmark is. Besides very easy and rapid access to free testing for everyone who suspects they might be infected, the government has also sent out requests to random people to get tested.
> There's a different protocol to do the same job. Or two if you want, RA and ND. Router advertisement, neighbour discovery.

> DHCPv6 does exist, but I don't really understand what it offers over RA+ND.

How does RA/ND solve the problem of client auto-configuration of services? Rightly or wrongly, DHCP has been traditionally used for service discovery ("Hey! Here's some NTP servers, a TFTP server and a SIP server") as well as config discovery (useful for autoprovisioning of many devices) and I didn't think you could achieve that just with RA/ND.

Has anyone managed to get netboot or PXE working on IPv6 without DHCP?

Edit just saw a sibling thread about DNS adverts in RA. I guess RA could do all these things, but if it doesn't support it today, DHCP is going to fill the gap.
That people eat is a human nature, but what people eat is quite cultural. Just as it is desirable to steer the food culture to healthier diet, it seems desirable to steer the prestige culture to more useful marks of prestige, since just like food, what people find prestigious seems cultural. (e.g. teaching is prestigious in East Asia, and it may be better if other cultures also find teaching prestigious.)

Splitting of countries has as much improvement as getting higher population density. A 5 person household does not have less pollution than 4 person household just because they got one person more to share the blame. Similar two countries combined do as much pollution as if they were separated, because physics does not care about borders.

If we go by per capita, the country that contribute the most to the world pollution is a island country with 300 islands and 1700 people. At the same time there are a bunch of oil countries which list as the most green countries in the world because per capita they got close to nothing in pollution per person. If we go outside of countries, the international space station and antarctic would have insane amount of CO2 per capita since only a very small number of highly specialized people living there.

If we want to stop climate change, going to Palau and Luxembourg with remedies will have zero impact. Their numbers at top of the table is only relevant in terms of statistics.
blah blah.

I think github has actually been a force for good. I don't see much evidence of microsoft screwing it up either.

As to youtube-dl - I'm a user of it and I like it a lot. But there are some points on the RIAA complaint I think they have to deal with.

I'm pretty sure there's a way to put a form of youtube-dl on the site that downloads videos as before yet skirts the RIAA complaint.

But that's not something github can do for them. I think github has to follow the law and let it play out.
>Using more ... aggressive metals might help energy density here

I think breweries are one of the types of business that could more easily use low density fuels. Right now a lot of the beer is moved by road, and the trucks that transport beer are often empty on their way to a brewery.
Years back I used to run a similar service (dudmail) which I eventually shutdown due to the time sink (and the unbelievable pain of trying to handle unicode in a million different languages correctly)

I was definitely a lot younger and naive back then and whilst I had intended it as mostly a way to avoid site registration email spam, until reading that wiki link I had never really thought of the potential for abuse.

I'd have to go back and look but I'm pretty sure it was running on OVH towards towards the end as well.

Ask HN: How to Sell a Company?
I am one of the co-founders and directors of a company that I have reasons to believe that could potentially be of interest to competitors. I am asking HN for opinions on any potential avenue to put a potentially valuable company for sale.

Why I believe that our company is worthy today:

1. We provide a proven solution to one of the hottest technology space in the market today.

2. The solution is in production and used by major corporations of the world.

3. Major news sources are covering the space and we are very often in the news for being one of the early proven leaders.

This company is started with great leadership but due to a change in leadership, the company is now lacking drive and direction to move forward but merely doing passive sales and servicing existing clients. Our company is currently operating at a loss due to relatively small revenue compared to operating costs. I have strong reasons to believe that the current management team is incapable of steering the company out of this situation.

I do, however, believe that there could be potential interest to buy out our company for the IP, brand, and clientele but am not sure to reach out to them. Are there brokerage firms that specialize in IP and corporation sales that would keep it confidential under the dotted lines are signed?

Note: throwaway account for anonymity.
> it doesn't change much (it is nothing actually, but I don't want to sound insensitive)

Of course, I also don’t eat meat eggs or milk, don’t wear leather, and haven’t for over 15 years now. But it didn’t happen all at once, and if I just thought that moving snails out of the way wouldn’t make any difference anyway I probably would have given up there and then. But instead I did a little bit more every once in a while until I’m at the point where I am.

So yes cats kill billions of animals a day for example but that’s only if you let your cat out. Every vet we spoke to said that it’s better to keep cats indoors because they live longer lives, don’t get diseases, don’t get maimed, don’t fight, don’t get hot by cars or even caught and tortured by humans (that’s a thing), don’t get obese from eating at home and at the neighbor’s and as long as you make sure they have toys and windows to look through they don’t mind.

My cat has killed maybe four mice in the 8 years I have her, tops. It’s unfortunate that cats must eat meat to survive but the canned food is pretty much the only meat we buy which is a fraction of what most people consume. That cat was abandoned and we took her in.

In conclusion, yes, focusing on the wrong thing is diminishing your impact. But I’d bet that for most people it’s not choosing between high impact and lower impact actions, but rather between nothing at all and anything at all. In that case I still believe anything at all is better than nothing at all. And doing anything at all might raise your awareness to do more and more on top of it.
