Am I the only one who finds this a little disturbing?

I mean the thing is beautifully produced, no doubt, I don't want to take anything away from the skills of the people who made it.

But the slickness moves it somehow from "scrappy bunch who gathered all the open data & collaboratively figured stuff out" into a different category. More like "someone with very deep pockets wants to tell me a particular story". Like getting the sort of 10-page glossy brochure they use to sell manhattan penthouses, but it's from the local animal shelter... and there's nothing wrong with the kitten pictures, the photography is excellent, but you wonder a bit who paid all those professionals, and why.
The network stack integration was less than transparent too. Random places all over the system where e.g. a magical ioctl() just didn't work properly. Who really wants to spend their life reimplementing every last baroque detail of that stuff?
It's an annoying but very common habit, especially but not exclusively in US English.

You might be more familiar with the habit of referring to "an invite" instead of "an invitation" or "a quote" instead of "a quotation", which fit the same pattern of "compute" instead of "computation". There's even "the big reveal" instead of "the big revelation" - using "revelation" would likely confuse many people, who would assume it was exclusively religious.
I think it’s just testing whether the backend is assembly or not; pure Go impls are faster, for example:

It is embarrassingly easy, once you get over the (minimal) hurdle of setting up the ODBC connections, docs over here for MySQL 5.6: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-odbc/en/

In MSAccess, just go to "External Data" -> "New Data Source" -> "From Other Sources" -> "ODBC Databases" (chose whether to link or import the data) and then create a new data source under "Machine Data Sources" using the MySQL driver.

It became like muscle memory after a while :-)
This so much.

I can understand the motivation from the perspective of recruiters, but I'd really hate to see STEM fields be infiltrated with the filth of unpaid internships that is unfortunately so common in many other fields.

Ok, so why did you not make music together with your children if you don't want them to watch Minecraft videos? It feels like you wasted an opportunity there. Blaming your kids for not knowing how to make music is pretty weird.
Hi, original author of Lightspark here. There is certainly value in OSS implementations of Flash, but the reality is that reaching accurate support for all the SWFs out there is a titanic effort. The sheer size of the runtime library of ActionScript 3 makes it a massive project, and on top of that the documentation/specification is most often vague or missing altogether.

Lightspark is something I started 10 years ago, back in my University years. Nowadays, I am working on the problem of Flash preservation and life extension from the perspective of compilers and virtual machines at Leaning Technologies. If you want to read more about our approach:

This is probably the most ridiculous statement I've read on HN. But unfortunately not surprising.
There was a language that started working on an entirely separate compiler toolchain for debug builds (prioritising compilation+linking speed) - I think it was zig but I can't remember exactly.
I’ll be honest: I do appreciate devs who love programming so much they sometimes do it for free. I still pay them (inc interns), but everyone I’ve known who was great at programming did some amount of it for free somewhere along the way (because they can and they like it), whether it was open source, programming contests, or just checking out some new tech on their own and never shipping the code anywhere.

Even though every line you’ll ever write for me will be paid, the fact that you did something worthwhile for free is a positive signal to me. You don’t have to show that specific signal to be hired, but if you do, I’m not going to ignore it.
This is so moronic is not even funny.

It was a reaction against proprietary closed source software that restricted your rights as a user. To avoid this unilateral license control GPL and it's derivatives were created, but so many open source maintainers refused to use it instead using licenses that were essentially unilateral in the other direction.

And so frankly they're the architects of this, not "big evil corp".
With the usual caveat that a positive test to a rare condition is most likely a false positive.

How can  I send file and execut it on computers over lan without permission?
Nah, you can detonate AN by itself, the oxygen from the nitrate part happily oxidizes the ammonium which will cause the nitrogen to depart the compound and release a lot of energy and gas. The contaminants just enable the reaction to switch from burning through deflagration to detonation.
At one point before Spacemacs was a thing, I had my 'stupid Emacs trick' - I had set up keybindings to invoke Vim as an external editor for Emacs. It took an open buffer and opened ansi-term and executed Vim on the file from the original buffer. I got some perverse pleasure in running Vim in my Emacs instance.

I don't remember if I got as far as saving non-file buffers as temp files so they would be accessible to Vim or not. That would have been the next logical enhancement. Maybe it would also be possible to pipe the buffer directly into Vim? I'm not sure if Vim would display in the foreground if you did that or not. I feel like I've had situations where piping things into Vim managed to wedge it in the background, but some of that was on Windows where console process communication is a wasteland of broken dreams.

Through what mechanism would bots drive up the price? Are you claiming there are simplistic momentum bots out there with seemingly more cash than other bots that just buy up bitcoin causing it to rise, which causes them to buy more of it, ad nauseam?

For pump and dump schemes, aren't we past that stage for Bitcoin at least? Isn't Bitcoin too big and too "mainstream" to be pumped in some Telegraph channel? Maybe you can clarify what pump-and-dump strategy you think is being used here?
>Partly we can thank this to the "throw more hardware at it" mentality and "lowering the barrier to entry" where noobs create the stuff a lot of us use.

What people don't understand is that it's not a "mentality", it's an economic imperative.

It makes sense, business wise, to "throw more hardware at it", and "lowering the barrier to entry" obviously also means that somebody can develop something with lower costs/faster time to market.

It's not a question of spoiled devs.

It's a question of savvy business people.

People not understanding this don't understand how economics works.

Unraid is the only one that allows you to freely add/remove drives. And only if you're OK with taking cluster down for a minute as you add it.

If you true freedom you'd need to go Ceph(FS) based, but there's no GUI to manage a Ceph cluster that I'm aware of, and they're so focused on cloud usage that you'll find little guidance on single-node clusters.

edit: Forgot to read Louwrentius' comment, of course MDADM with raid 6 allows you to add disks in pairs of two, so that's definitely also an option. Don't forget to use LVM, it can get real awkward without it.
vim is definitely runnable in emacs's vterm, which is more similar to the terminal in Vim than any of emacs's shell, eshell, or eterm modes.

As an evil user, I tended to remember this after I ran `git commit` and then try to remember how to pause evil so I could address vim. (I now use `with-editor` to set $EDITOR back to the parent emacs, and have mostly switched to magit)

A lot of this could be resolved by a simple legal document given on first use when connected to the Trusted Recursive Resolver. Cloudflare could give the user a contract that obligates itself to follow the rules under the TRR program, with fines similar to GDPR if it ever broke them.

That way the user could exercise control and agency under contract law, and the cost of breaking the obligations would be financially in addition to loosing TRR status. It would also not make the situation worse compared to keeping the default in EU to be the users own ISP.

At most the user would loose the protection given by national consumer agencies, which for me would be a loss but for the average in EU might be less so.

Would CloudFlare agree to do so, or would they just drop out of TRR if such requirement were made?

wow, there's no mentioning of Google in the article at all (ctrl-F showed no hit); Even then, "Google engineers" do NOT just get access to GCP client's data... it would be a immense breach of client trust for GCP and would be a code red for google immediately.

There does appear to be ARM64 assembly in Go's crypto code, but perhaps it's suboptimal for M1. Or perhaps there's a build config issue, and the assembly isn't being used. Just my speculation, though. I haven't looked into it.

It isn't, but that's beside the point, which is that there's little enough difference between iron and steel that the Eiffel and Blackpool towers being made of wrought iron doesn't prevent them demonstrating that large structures engineered in steel are quite possible to maintain given the requisite investment in actually doing the maintenance.

(Saying that, for example, 300-series stainless, around 30-40% chromium and nickel, "is iron", could be fairly criticized this way. Mild steel not so much, and that was what I really had in mind with the statement, although I concede I didn't say so.)
AWS released ARM instances in 2018. It is already happening in the datacenter.

Not an expert in HPC, but I think you gain the performance from distributing the data across a vast number of cpu instead of having great cpus to begin with.

Arecibo was in full operation before the cables broke. If you replace all the cables and hardware and reassemble it shouldn't cost anywhere near $80 million cause you're not starting from scratch.

Assuming the people supplying the operational funding want to continue to do so it shouldn't take more than low millions to get it going again.
There exists ARM CPUs designed for server workloads, but the design and trade-offs are really different than the ones you make when designing a laptop CPU, it would have little in common with the M1.

Also, these results are OK, because it means new macbook performance won't be diminished because of the switch to ARM, but it's not that much of a perf improvement either: keep in mind this benchmark was run against a 2017 i5 CPU. It's not an anemic CPU, but it's not really hard to beat either.

Well my friend, the soil where you're trying to plant your sensible words is just totally barren. Here on HN you'll most probably face feedback only from those who work exactly for somebody who's coming after some group as you say, or zealous dupes who follow the former for free. And that feedback will never be positive.

Maybe this also reflects some of the structural problems the UK industry has. Hence, it’s less about “investing long-term is not great”, but rather “investing long-term in structurally uncompetitive landscapes is a bad idea”.

The conflict between making a videogame (or any bit of popculture really) enjoyable and inclusive vs. historically accurate often comes up and both sides have a fair point. My personal solution is to both enjoy the content and then try to educate myself through articles like this one.

I'm more frustrated by the lack of diverse body types... there is no way malnutrition, lack of modern-day medicine and violence can produce as many healthy bodies as what we see in Ubisoft titles.

That's exactly what I ended up concluding as well when I tried switching to WSL 2 because it added too much friction to the DX, whereas Docker Compose and the Docker VSCode extension kept things simple and scoped.

I didn't even keep WSL 2 as Docker engine because it doesn't forward filechange events from shared folders (which breaks livereload / watch mode), ended up going back to Hyper-V and it does exactly what I need.
On the fence about this. On the one hand I agree that sensitive data should stay local, but on the other hand this would make their very valuable asset (the model) public.

This is true, but I don’t particularly like having my work thought of as a “hobby.” In the last three years, I’ve worked harder than I ever did, for a paycheck. I also feel as if the result of that work is the finest-quality software I’ve ever written.

My GitHub Activity Graph is solid green (and absolutely not “gamed”)[0]. I code every single day; often a lot of coding. It’s all been unpaid. The work I got paid for, never got into the public domain.

I’m currently working in closed-source, but the main reason is for a marketing embargo that will eventually lift (might be awhile, though. It’s a not-small effort). Nothing particularly proprietary or extreme. Most of my work is fairly pedestrian.

I disagree with this conclusion because it disregards agency of players. I see more similarities to warnings about the dangers of books in contrast to how it might display historic events too critically or too uncritically.

One mistake might be that we try to patronize people too much and that enlightenment might favor a relaxed approach. I am sure if historic depictions nurture interest in an era, people would search for additional information.

Rocket Lab successfully splashs down Electron booster after orbital launch

I feel like a bit of a dick pointing this out, but I think everyone should realize this magazine (as well as Nautil.us by the way) is funded by the Templeton Foundation, which has quite a strong focus on religion (eh, sorry, "the intersection of religion and science"). On the one hand I feel it shouldn't really matter and we can all judge an article by its contents, but on the other hand some of the articles that show up here are really just a religious wolf in a scientific sheep's clothing, and I don't think many here would give them more than 2 seconds of their day if they knew this upfront.

Peter Beck, CEO and founder of Rocket Lab, actually posted "Welcome back to Earth Electron!" with an image of their Electron rocket swimming on the ocean but an editorialized title seemed more descriptive since it gives some context for the uninitiated.

Once they reliably can do that, they will attempt to catch the booster with a helicopter during descent, that is before it touches down in the ocean. I would assume that means they need to figure out how to secure the booster (venting fuel and oxygen?) already during descent.

Thanks for linking the article! It seems to say that 300W is the energy needed on the rough terrain, not the energy consumed by the bumps: "We measured the power required to pedal the bike at 32.2 km/h (20 mph) using an SRM crank."

Then it goes on to measure the energy required on the smooth pavement and it's around 230W. So around 70W of INPUT energy is needed because of the strips.

Now if speed is constant, it stands that a part of these 70W are converted to vertical motion (the rest lost to heat in many forms). This is where I don't dare to understand thermodynamics enough to even make an (un)educated guess of how little of those 70W are converted to vertical motion.
That does not answer how the child is poorer than its parents, though.

I don’t think people have difficulty with the concept of child poverty, but your original assertion sounds super weird (and yet it sounds official, not a personal opinion, so a paper detailing that would be a better answer).
At least for me, the issue was being able to do arithmetic by hand fast enough to meet the time limit of the test.

I don't think that ability necessarily has a great deal in common with understanding mathematics or the ability to do higher level math.
