If they are specifying exact hard-coded dependency versions... if a X -> Y -> A, and B -> A, and M -> N -> A... and a security patch is released for A, then X, Y, B, M and N all need new releases to specify new exact dependencies, in order to use the new A'?

It's disastrous for security patches, only highly inconvenient for things like performance improvement releases. But this is why we have dependency resolving, right? What am I missing?
Okay, then it's technically true, but it's not materially important, as elaborated by rayiner's response.
I'd burn fossil fuels too huddled around the furnace in the upper midwest in the winter. To hell with the greens.
No, you don't understand what I mean - if you don't have your mask on and are making other hikers wait for you to do such, you are being disrespectful. A 3h hike under normal conditions can become much more arduous and time-consuming if others are making you pause for them just so you can pass with them having a mask on. You should have your mask on before they need to stop by either always wearing it or having it on your chin

Then, accept that your own mask is good enough. You don't need to wait for the other person. Like sibling comments said, studies show that being outside and briefly walking by someone is not likely to result in transmission, especially when compared to being indoors with others

The exact number really isn't the point. The point is if the terminal emulator is 1% of that 200ms (or 100, or whatever), then who gives a shit. You should be buying a better monitor first.
Neat idea to clean up the internet

Calling out racism does not make one a racist, for sure. Labeling anyone who disagrees with her a racist, without even a slightly plausible evidence, makes her a racist because all she can see is race. You're right that that's not the standard definition of racism. It's a fair game, though, as people like Gebru pretty much uses racism as a weapon however they like.
It depends on the protocol requirements. If you have 256-bit data elements to reconcile, and want 100% guarantee that reconciliation will succeed with 1 round-trip, then you'll indeed need to use sketches with 256-bit elements.

However, if you're fine with more roundtrips, or probabilistic reconciliation, you can typically use far smaller elements. Have the parties agree on a random salt, and construct sketches of short salted hashes of your data elements (where the size of these hashes depends on your tolerance for failure due to collisions in your sets). Run the reconciliation algorithm to figure out the difference, and then send/request the real elements based on their short hashes.
I think that's the disconnect between docker-compose and ops. It's really easy to setup the dev env, but there's no direct way yet of deploying docker-compose stack somewhere w/o wrangling/writing a bunch of yml files using different libraries...
The name "Hotmail" was chosen out of many possibilities ending in "-mail" as it included the letters HTML, the markup language used to create web pages (to emphasize this, the original type casing was "HoTMaiL").

My father also died when I was a child, so I understand where you're coming from. I am now a father, and currently dealing with a serious illness, which has made me think about these things. I can say that my child finding my emails after I'm dead is something I definitely do not want to happen. I'm not sure how to handle it yet.
If it wasn't for the "this service would need access to my email account creds and therefore to all my mail" showstopper...

A distributed service where a group of people all have their own service to "ping" their personal "important accounts", and which accept federation with friends or other users of the service, so if your server/vps/serverless/whatever platform instance goes down your pings still happen from your connected servers.

That makes sense, but I don't think of corporate approval committees as being designed to render "fair academic criticism". For example, they might say "the core thesis of this paper reveals our valuable trade secrets and therefore you are forbidden from publishing it externally." That's not fair academic criticism, but it could be a reasonable decision for the committee to make.
Personally I find paper wrapped items from the local deli fine, but I'd be pretty skeptical of any food products shipped only in paper -- too easy to contaminate.
My very speculative reading of this: Stripe needs to fulfill KYC/AML requirements for its own customers, but not for its customers' customers. If I own a store and accept payments via Stripe, Stripe needs information about me to help make sure I'm not using the money I receive for unseemly things. But if you visit my store and buy something and pay me via Stripe, Stripe doesn't need that same information about you.

If instead of running a store I'm running a bank or some other financial service, that all changes - in that case, someone has to verify your identity to fulfill KYC/AML requirements. Stripe doesn't trust me to do that myself, since it's hard and heavily regulated and it would be onerous for Stripe to make sure I and all their other customers are doing it properly. But now they'll outsource that responsibility to banks on my behalf.

Not sure how much interest there is on this topic on HN, I may be talking to myself.

For me, it's a matter of being misunderstood by everyone. Literally. I don't mean they can't parse what I say, I speak English perfectly clearly. It's that they ascribe thoughts, emotions and motives to my words and actions that are wrong. They then react to those misunderstandings and I find myself in a constant state of defense and trying to correct misperceptions, usually in futility. After the frustration and anger it definitely leads to an enduring, moderate sadness.

Middle aged white men are not all cut from the same cloth, any more than any other group is. For others to tell me what I think and feel based on my gender, race and age is as bigoted as anything else. Sad.

> Public policy and morality should be the domain of reason, evidence, freedom, experience, and compassion.

First of all, compassion is a very unreasonable thing. Objectively people who don’t have compassion do better in life. I believe a lot of CEO’s and politicians lack compassion. Also compassion, makes me feel bad more often. Because I have compassion, I felt bad reading about the mother whose children died. If I did not have compassion, it would not bother me.

Now, reading the thrust of the article, it seems the author wants to keep one unreasonable thing (compassion) and throw out another unreasonable thing(religion). However, I do not see any example of principles that can show why one should be favored and another discarded, especially when for many people, their religious duty is what motivates compassion.

However, if you decide to throw out compassion and just stick to reading and evidence, I think you eventually end up with the morality of Thanos.
It does make me sad that we're having to build new "clones" of pieces of hardware that were made, very literally, in their millions because we're so hopeless at recycling and salvage as an industry.
No, James was just a random engineer who got fired after the VP of Diversity took issue with the memo he shared. Firing people for sharing unpopular opinions is a whole other nest of bees. One that I'm sure Timmit and her ilk would fully support. So he wasn't exactly the person I had in mind. Nor was Timmit fired and I don't believe Damore was pushing unconditional demands.

But that said I can see some similarities with the whole politics at work landmine issue.
I didn't mean she is saying she's marginalized because she's a well known researcher. From her email:

"Does that sound like a standard procedure to you or does it just happen to people like me who are constantly dehumanized"

She is not happy with the process and she is taking it personal. She was hired as a lead researcher and manages a big group and project. She has the nerve to say she is constantly dehumanized? 99% of Google employees would want to be in her position.

Google is a big company with many good but also bad processes and policies (I never worked there). Instead of trying to make change she starts wars. Her thing with Lecun was exactly the same. The funny thing she said she hired a feminist lawyer to sue Google a year before! She still kept her job after that. What company does that? She is lucky she had an employer like Google.
the point of the comment is that this characterization is absurd and also you're a jerk you know that right
One factor this article might miss is a pure fitness aspect. I had older siblings and a father who often coached their teams, and credited much of my fitness level in elementary school to having attempted to run laps with kids 6.5 years older than me when I was a toddler and kindergartener.

Pranksters send Kevin Mitnick xmas presents, criticizing his dress etiquette
12/3, Nevada, US. A group of distributed infosec pranksters have banded together to donate security-related apparel to Kevin Mitnick, the popular "hacker" arrested by the FBI and sent to a federal prison in 1995. The initiative replicates the original "Free Kevin" slogan that Mitnick supporters used at the time, but now modified to "Free Kevin Again", not with the goal to get him out of prison, but out of "his sad business suit", according to the freekevinagain.com site, from which the action is being launched. Mitnick has been widely criticized among the information security community over the years for using his fame in favor of his own security firm, abandoning the technical skills that got him there in the first place. According to sources from an underground apparel site that is supporting the action, "we are just trying to help him be that boy he was before the FBI knocked on his door", and "dozens have already sent him his Xmas present". So far, Mitnick has refused to comment on the story.
What lockdown is grating to you? I grew up on BSD multi-user systems and Apple things still look the same to me: crusty BSD with ancient coreutils in the terminal, nice rounded corners in the GUI.

What is the iPad-ification? Just the code signing stuff? I guess you can't write to /System anymore these days? And there's something about app notarization, but it doesn't really affect any of my uses.

It’s always back to the problem of enterprise software catering to procurement managers. Slack made headway because it infiltrated from the bottom-up. Employees used it, probably sometimes surreptitiously, and once it had a lot of users it started reaching out to management teams. That’s the one thing that concerns me about the acquisition by Salesforce. Slack might not really cater to end-users anymore, although Heroku is one example where Salesforce seems to be doing an acquisition right.
However, to be fair, Merle Travis had no problem with Tennessee Ernie Ford's version and was quite grateful for the royalty checks it provided ...
And specifically FAANG engineer's price is established in a free market where as nurses and doctors are protected by licensure which drives their price above the natural market rate.

Therefore their wages should probably be lower.
From one perspective,

It would involve somehow being able to identify changes that require compilation from those that don't. This is hard to do in C++.

At least waf (build system) ignores changes to comments :)

You can also do a mitm with two wifi enabled raspberry pies or Linux computers by mapping the network block device of one machine over nfs to the one performing the attack.
This was an internal review of the paper, as far as I can tell the paper was never published outside of Google.
Definitely in undergrad. And also now that I have kids and kids have friends. Invite one other family over and we’re pretty close...
Hi,

I'm the author of plocate. Since version 1.1.0, plocate no longer depends on mlocate for building its database, but is a full replacement.
Easy. Just call that person a racist, a bigot, or an oppressor without a shred of evidence.

> A person: I think bias in machine learning is caused by bias in training data.
> Me: Why are you ignoring all I've been saying? You're a racist. You're a white man who oppresses. I'm not going to talk to a bigot like you.

Repeat this a few times, the attacked will be punished both online and offline. Justice served.
Experiencing marginalisation is frustrating, and frustrated people sometimes have outbursts.

I don't think we can infer much from a few highly publicised events.

I slept on this and it occurred to me that this is exactly how markets in Asia traditionally operate. Some of them still operate like that. However, they are being rapidly destroyed by the combination the supermarket chains, and the automobile culture/parking lot nightmare they engender, and convenience stores, which encourage unhealthy snacking in lieu of real ingredient purchase and preparation, and small quantity purchasing (such as single use plastic wrapped shampoo and soap sachets).

Flawed how? Route53 claims 100% uptime. Though if goes down, options are limited anyway. Are you saying a read replica won't stay in sync? Lag time on replication tends to be low. Keeping databases in sync across regions is definitely difficult, so i recommended against that.

Being in multiple AZs alone seems to be insufficient more and more. So the point was that by at least pushing backups or replicas into another region, you have options to restore from them.

So should be most of your (micro)services. I have seen more instances of sloppy system design (non-transactional but sold as such) than coherent eventually consistent ones.

> The employer can't modify the specifics of the resignation

You say this, yet I have seen it done many times.

Of course not being a lawyer of any sort, I don't know. Is there a reference for your claim?

Jeff's email is in line with what I have seen done elsewhere, and given the high profile of the incident, I'd be shocked if legal hadn't been consulted on the wording.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that what you did was surreptitious. I meant, if other people have that idea before understanding the laws around recording conversations.
They both have much higher tap latency due to the Android graphics stack. The difference in drag/scroll latency feels even higher, but I don't know how to measure that quantitatively without special equipment.

Example of ROG Phone II results:

Kernel module, display running at 60 Hz: 10 ms

Android, 120 Hz display: 32 ms

Flutter, 120 Hz display: 30 ms

They're only this close because Android gets 2x the refresh rate here, but it's still 3x slower.

Do you think Xi and Modi would be allowing their citizens to work and study in the U.S. if it were not advantageous to China and India?
I’m struggling with a lot of things in this. Why couldn’t you test your stored procedures? Assuming you use an ORM, do you test it’s logic? Because if you don’t, then what’s the difference?

Why wouldn’t you have more than one database? What if you’re global?

Why would a database ever be a single point of failure?

Why wouldn’t you be capable of rolling it back, or test in anyway that’s different from what you do with your other code? Is it perhaps because you don’t know the tools to do so?

Why would database logic save you pain in development? Typically utilising stores procedures would make development less straightforward because you split your logic up, but you do it because database servers are a lot better and a lot more efficient at giving you the data you need.

Don’t get me wrong. I only use stored procedures, or even any SQL tooling, when they are the only way to get efficient or persistent data, but it’s not because or any of the reasons you list. It’s because 95% or the developers we hire don’t really know how to use databases.

A good example is an issue one of juniors had recently. We have a lot of data organised in what is essentially a tree structure where the nodes only know their parents. He needed to pick any node and gets its children + related rows from a range of tables in three databases. The task itself was simple enough, except the tree has millions and millions of nodes and even more millions of related rows, and he needed the data fast. He had hacked around, trying different stuff like loading it gradually, caching it between uses and so on, but he couldn’t get it fast enough. We made a recursive stored procedure that was capable of giving him the data almost instantly, because thats what database servers do. In a couple of years, when this needs tweaking, however, it’s very likely that someone like me will be needed to look at it, because recursive SQL isn’t something a lot of our developers do, so in any other case, doing it in C# would’ve been better.
i do think it is fair if it is a free service for there to be some limit for how long the data is stored. my question is, do they also delete any related metadata that they use to improve their targeted advertising in reference to me?
What the paper describes is roughly a software implementation of the Cray MTA[1] supercomputing architecture -- each CPU had 128 threads per core. The ill-fated Cray XMT was the inspiration for applying this technique to databases on arbitrary CPU architectures many years ago.

I once emulated the exotic XMT threading behavior and memory model in software on x86 using coroutines, which had the advantage of not requiring me to shell into the supercomputer to test my code -- developer convenience. It turned out that the XMT idiomatic C++, which is strange looking and normally runs poorly on ordinary CPUs, ran faster on this emulator on x86 than the actual XMT CPU. While the XMT CPUs had unusual architectural features that could not be emulated in software (e.g. the XMT CPU knows precisely which threads are stalled on a per clock cycle basis), x86 silicon was so much more advanced at the time that naively scheduling around stalls by inference had higher performance even after the occasional cache miss. Furthermore, this way of designing code greatly improved performance on x86-based supercomputers compared to more conventional multithreading. It changed the way we designed the software

At the time, there were a few people straddling the supercomputing and database worlds, which was how the "software XMT architecture" discovery bled over into database engine design. It is more difficult to do robustly in software but it worked really well and you can't beat the cost.

Any change to bitcoin's supply algorithm requires a hard fork of the blockchain. People have done it before but those forks are considered worthless by the community.

You're right that it is a community belief. If enough people were convinced that supply should be increased, they could fork the blockchain and move to the new chain. The change in supply would alter the price appropriately.

But that's no different to the community belief that it has any value to begin with. If everybody was convinced that gold was worthless (outside of its practical industrial uses), it would cease to be a store of value too.
That LeCunn needed to defend his own character out of such simple discussion shows everything that's wrong with the US' progressive culture.

A few things don't add up then.

Timnit claims that she was told at a meeting called on short notice that her paper was being retracted because of anonymous feedback. She said she asked about the substance of the feedback and they refused to tell her.

After that meeting, she is told she can be read a private document with some, but not all of the anonymous feedback.

That led to Gebru sending a frustrated email to her colleagues and a separate email with conditions that she was willing to resign over. In that email it seems like she asked to knows the identities of the people who gave the feedback that let to the demand for retraction.

Jeff Dean says that Timnit wanted the identity of the people who gave the feedback as a condition for staying. Then he describes what that feedback was. He doesn't acknowledge that Timnit was not given the substance of the feedback in the first meeting when she asked for it. And it sounds like the full feedback wasn't given later during that private reading.

The feedback Dean cites that led to the retraction doesn't at all sound like something that required the protection of identities, and certainly nothing that required keeping that feedback secret. If the reviewers felt like the paper left out some relevant research, why wasn't that communicated fully and clearly in the first meeting?

Jeff Dean's email seems to leave out a lot of context about everything leading up to Timnit threatening to resign. At the very least it doesn't seem like the reasons the surprise retraction order came down weren't revealed at all until some time after that first meeting.
