Exactly: that remind me Kary Mullis, a Nobel Prize (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kary_Mullis#Use_of_hallucinoge...). I had a colleague AIDS denialist, he told be that AIDS doesn't exist and that's a fact because Mullins sayd so. So I read about this man that is a brilliant biochemist but with no title or specialization or experience to qualify him as AIDS expert. Reading about his personal life, I learned he was also an hallucinogens addict.About that, he also claimed "to have been rescued from a fatal accident by a person travelling in an astral plane, and to have conversed with an alien disguised as a raccoon" (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2019/08/19/kary-mulli...). So I asked to my colleague: "what's your opinion about aliens?", his response: "they are among us, I'm sure: Mullins sayd so!". :-)
Or just people who are sick of seeing it every post. It’s the same with Microsoft (I hate the constant unjustified EEE claims). It adds nothing to the discussion and only starts flame wars.

Apple fanbois are annoying, but Apple haters are equally annoying. The idea that any sane person could like Apple for reasons other than being sheep never crosses their mind.
Indeed similarly, although they explain in the article that it is unlikely that the retirees would develop cancer by they time they died of natural causes, so the level of sacrifice is different.
Visualization author here. Cool to see it get some HN love despite being six years old.

Unfortunately, the visualization project is effectively dead. The Raft visualization involved a lot of painful D3.js coding and effectively writing a JS Raft implementation. In hindsight, a deterministic format would be much easier. I toyed around with learning After Effects in hopes of producing some other visualization videos but I never did finish any.

I'm glad folks are still getting value out of the Raft visualization. The paper is good but it helps to see data move over time to really make it click.
Ya, my Sonic fiber service is in San Mateo.
Human drivers can adapt to a new unseen before situation.
There is a push to upgrade road infrastructure with sensors so might be sooner. You're totally right about regulation though - engineers are only solving a "technical" problem, but what about the non-technical ones? Where is the brigade of lobbyists needed to get something like this through legal?
I think a lot of the question here is in the Administrator/Faculty divide. Is a special education teacher faculty? What about learning center, where students who need extra help in a specific subject go while the rest of the class continues regular learning? What about specialists who teach computer, science, garden, art, music? (And who give the teachers a break during the school day.)

As for administrators, the ones I see at schools are usually needed: a nurse or medical aide, a psychologist, a librarian, two front desk people (both so you have backup if someone is sick, and so you aren't without someone if a student/parent needs assistance out of the office), custodians are important (you need two, one for daytime, and one for nighttime. Yes, students can do cleanup at some point, but not K-3 at least), etc.

Here's the staff directory of an elementary school near me. Which staff would you cut?

Realistically speaking, is there jurisdiction where this isn't a threat? Most governments allow for wiretaps (basically what this "backdoor" is) when there's a warrant, so I'm not sure what the alternative is. Not even self-hosting works because they can seize your server/ip/domain name and install a backdoor there.
Me too, and in 2014 someone tried to burn down Neighbors with hundreds of people inside, and before the pandemic gay couples reported being harassed and assaulted for walking down the street in Capitol Hill, and I heard more than one guy entering different bars (again, in Capitol Hill) cautiously check that this bar didn't have GAY PEOPLE, right? So I think the idea that tech people are less welcome than gay people is a horrendously uninformed one.

You can do it with 2 disks. You just need to unplug the Linux disk while installing windows. If you then make Linux the primary boot disk in bios, grub re-maps the drives so when booting Windows, it thinks it is the primary drive and never re-writes the Linux boot loader. I did that for years without issue.
Assuming by your non-specific 'bookmarks', you mean Browser Bookmarks:

Periodically, (meaning 'when I remember') I save my current browser bookmarks as a .html file in a specific 'bookmarks' folder in my 'Documents' directory. These files get named 'bookmarks_YYMMDD', thus they are automatically sorted by date.

Being .html files, they are automatically also plain text files, and can be searched easily using standard tools like 'grep'.
Maybe the game servers could not send the whole game state to each client and validate input it receives from each client? Banning blatant aimbots is just a pure statistics thing. Also, you could just train ai to detect patterns of cheating via an adversarial model where you pit normal ai against ai that uses the cheats you currently detect via rootkits.

What currency are you using? In USD, the cheapest item on the menu that I can find (apple slices) goes for $0.57. A big mac combo goes for around $10, while a subway footlong goes for about $7.
I just got an OSS project wired up using TravisCI. And during that process, I noticed OSS builds had a backlog of 5000+ jobs. It took sometimes 45 minutes for my build to process.

It's a shame. Something like this should exist, but I can't blame them for not wanting to do it for free.
I have AT&T fiber. I noticed Wikipedia started to have trouble loading around then, assumed Wikipedia just had capacity issues. Script definitely shows corruption.
While I certainly prefer immutability there are many who do not, and that preference does not make you better or more experienced than them.
A null byte in a string can typically be treated as 'end of the string'.

I'm assuming what happened, is that the expression filtering code stopped analyzing the string after the null byte, but other parts of the code continue past the null byte (eg, because the string indicates its length at the start of the string, which extends beyond the null byte) and the code that processes that (supposedly sanitized string) interprets beyond that null byte (to the payload).
I've not had issues with cheaters on Dots 2.
yup. i wonder if there's room for a different paradigm in the Linux community that works via some alternative like reporting or karma instead of spyware
Both of the latest COD games have absolutely enormous stability issues on their supported platforms. Infinity Ward (and possibly Treyarch to a lesser extent) seem to be only just in control of their games - rampant size on disk, instability, etc. When the game works it's rather good, but it really seems like COD's time out of the spotlight hasn't kept its developers sharp.

Cyberpunk is DRM free so it should be OK on launch and only a matter of time if it's not.
”I would use traceroute to find a common bad point for everyone“

But their success has very little do with the tax burden imposed on them by the state of California (c.f. any number of Seattle-based companies).
> Just to emphasize your point, 30% take is relatively small in the retail world.

The internet already provides a nearly free distribution medium for software application - so even paying a 5% markup to an unnecessary middleman is just outrageous. The app store only exists so that Apple (and others) can gauge even more money from developers, who ultimately pass on the cost to us customers.
When this was posted to HN a month ago [1] is actually when I learned it was going on -- I sure wouldn't have figured it out from travis' communications, even to this day. Up until my projects simply stopped building at all I guess.

Since then I have switched a bunch of projects over to Github Actions, fortunately they were all relatively simple enough to make that straightforward.

>If we maintain the status quo, we’ll have cronies like Jeff Zucker taking the reigns of an established (fake) news organization, pushing propaganda that’s convenient for their world view all while claiming to be objective.

So the obvious answer is to push a news channel that is even more brazenly pushing misinformation?
I find it odd from the opposite perspective. Why did the most clearly mission critical team in the company find social issues more appropriate at work than their job at hand? Surely if you could pick a single team who's work area doesn't have any relation to politics, it would be this one?
User maintained communities are not friendly to new users. CS:GO has user maintained communities, but most players do not use it. You can't build a community without new users, and new users want to play the game, not build a community.

Especially with team gameplay, players want proper skill based matchmaking. So that they don't have someone on the other team who destroys them. Or someone on their own team that is dead weight.

Everyone wants to talk about the bad hire that can’t “program their way out of a paper bag but I want to talk about another kind of animal. The one who seems to know what their doing on all the coding tests. You hire him thinking he’s great. Gets right to work , cranks out a ton of code, is working weekends etc. Then you look at the code and it’s a crap ton of idiomatic garbage, seemingly clever hacks, etc. The rest of the teams productivity goes to shit because no one can understand Glen’s weird code.

I worked with a guy who spent weeks writing a CSV parser. Firstly there are a ton of libraries to choose from. Secondly while CSV is simple it can be surprisingly difficult to handle all possible options. When we got a look at his code it was filled with really odd usage of reflections and dynamic code generation. This was supposed to process huge files so performance was supposed to be a priority.

Or the other guy who complained daily about maven then one day he comes in on Monday right before a major deadline with a big shit eating grin on his face and when someone finally asked what he was grinning about he said he spent the weekend replacing maven with ant.

I’ll take someone who can’t program their way out of a paper bag over one of these guys any day. At least when they’re in the paper bag they can’t destroy anything.

I think walking slowly, carefully, and quietly would be much more survivable than tearing around in vehicles.
The thing you're missing is that the point of client-side simulation and lag compensation is simply one of UX. It makes the game playable.

> Cloud gaming substitutes reconciling these n+1 simulations with some input latency for each player.

You're just pitching the naive networking model that every developer starts with (because it's trivial) until they realize how horrendous it is to wait 100ms on every single input.

Also, it's not "some input latency", it's the full latency of the entire round trip. From input to server (40ms) and then video to client (40ms) just to see how an action you did 80ms ago panned out.

You've eliminated none of the trade-offs, just exchanged one frustration (dying even though you shot someone before they shot you) with another (watching a delayed video feed of them shooting you while you wait for your input to cross the network).

There's a reason why client simulation is ubiquitous. Btw, lag compensation is really hard and nobody would want to do it if they could get away with the naive networking model.

> For example both the USS Fitzgerald and USS John McCain actually had significant collisions yet the US Navy is generally considered by far the strongest in the world.

The series of four accidents including those two in a short period in the US 7th Fleet was considered a sign of very significant problems. It is not at all typical of large, capable navies.
Running arbitrary code on a distributed network of end user PCs with network access is a recipe for a bot net. Yes it’s doable but it’s not a magic wand to claim that an open platform will solve it.

The magic of Travis was that with a couple clicks of OAuth you were signed up and running builds for your own PRs. My first thought upon seeing this years ago was “How many people are using this to mine crypto?!“.

One pedestrian death due to cars occurs on average every ~200 million car-driven miles. Is that really bad?

(the math is based on # of US miles driven in 2017 divided by the number of car-caused pedestrian fatalities in the same year)
Wow that's crazy. I wouldn't mind being given interview like that. It's the hard math quiz whiteboards I'm petrified of. Not being able to access my notes is like telling me run shell commands on a cli program you've never used and you can't use --help or -man

I'm all for more variety of hardware and more control over software. That said, what makes these a better option, for anyone, than buying an android phone with an unlockable bootloader and loading a Google-less version of Android on it?
I'm more curious what caused the wave of populism in the late 2010s.

I think it's a combination of three things.

• History has a cyclical pattern (according to many. Toynbee, Hegel, etc) and the West was just rife for such a period. The people who experienced the negative outcomes of authoritarianism back in the 1940s died or entered nursing homes en masse in the 2010s.

• Social networks, and other internet phenomena, advantage sensationalism and division.

• The actual state of the world is bad enough that people stop voting for the status quo. By the 'state of the world', I mean things like the 'forever wars', terror attacks, the migrant crisis, the 2008 financial crisis, the rise of China, etc.

The more I think about it, though, the less I think the actual state of the world matters. My reasoning there is that the way people interpret both their own station in life, and the events of the world, depends largely on the zeitgeist. With a little effort, I could imagine a world where people interpreted the same political and economic situation in vastly different ways.

I should add a disclaimer that, when it comes to this subject, it's possible I have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm not a real historian :)
I ran the script and it is finding a difference after a while. I have not noticed anything wrong with the network recently, but that of course does not mean there has not been a problem.

Edit: Actually I take that back, I have seen one of the issues where sometimes web sites will not load at random, and a reload fixes the issue.

I think the reason why anticheat gets a very unsympathetic hearing is because it's frequently buggy or unpermissive, and people fundamentally don't like being locked out of their games. As a Linux gamer who's just unable to play some titles that run fine on my PC because the anticheat doesn't, any perceived flaw in anticheat immediately winds me up.
One question is how much tightening soot pollution standards would really help. For example, a lot of the country this past year had horrible air quality, not from industrial pollution, but from wildfires. Are we really able to achieve that level of pollution, even when we include natural sources like wildfires?
>that would completely fix health care and the climate crises?

At no point did I say it's a magic bullet that would "completely fix" any of that. But spending hundreds of millions directly on healthcare would likely pay more healthcare dividends than, say, some unintended materials science application that started in rocket engine development.

How exactly do you think funding gets doled out? They aren't just given a blank check...Agencies request a certain amount, then as the sausage gets made on Capitol Hill, some programs are shaved, others are padded. The people in those discussions are bringing their priorities to the table and, in some cases, will have to make concessions like not having their metaphorical coffee in order to save a higher priority project.
Not necessarily US government. A foreign government can't force Apple to implement a backdoor in iOS - but they can buy an exploit and use it.
One wonders how this will affect the smaller chains and remaining independent theaters. There's a Landmark cinema in my neighborhood that typically shows more art-house type films, from distributors that are less likely to make big deals with HBO. Some might end up on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, some might go away.

I've spent decades among software people and never heard this said.

The outsourcing to India etc is 2+ decades old already FFS! What impact it's had on US wages is hard to say, but it's been very good for a lot of third world engineers!
I was approached by Uber's self driving division a few months ago and I asked about the layoffs and changes there. They said not to worry about it. Turns out I was right in the end to worry about it and not work there.

Is that surprising? This is exactly how they treat the rest the world in business (e.g. Apple/Google/Amazon's elaborate international tax evasion schemes see dutch sandwich/double irish style arrangements).

Also see Uber/AirBNB "disruption" of not paying benefits/hotel taxes. I would be more surprised if they didn't "optimize" like that.
You underestimate what you can extract from making the market larger and more efficient, which taxis could never do. Why don't people barter instead of paying huge sums to Wall Street to intermediate?
The problem I see is every time you drop an extra layer of innovation, you fragment the final product.

For example, Apple adds person to person payments in imessage and it suddenly just works for every single imessage user. If someone did that as a feature on top of matrix you now have a situation where some clients support it and some don't so the feature never really gets used as its too unreliable. Maybe over time the feature rolls out to more clients but there will always be some devs who think "No I don't like this feature, I won't ever add it"

I guess things are a little simpler here since it might be possible to implement new features without server changes as they may just work on top of the standard matrix spec.

Those 4 points are all theories of yours - I wonder - where does Timnit's previous employment at Google and published papers fit into the theory? Why would they publish multiple of her papers on basically the same exact subject, but then decide they need to stop her at all costs for this paper?

Did Jeff Dean think Timnit was a white dude and so let her publish, but when he found out she was a brown woman, he said he cannot stand for this?
Hello from Portland (Oh boy, here it comes)
Here is a tutorial I found: https://fuzzing-project.org/tutorial1.html
100 to 200 years is a very long time. Look at the exponential nature of technology, and even deep learning. Only in 2012 had the image network reached 90% accuracy levels, and now we have all sort of networks for all sorts of things, including style transfer for videos.
I do wonder why people assume that the beneficiaries will be American.

You can hire competent Thai or Vietnamese programmers for $20K/year on Upwork, which is a princely sum in their countries. If all you want is someone to implement a spec, they'll do the job just as good or better than any American. Why would you pay $100K/year?

Most markets bifurcate into a commoditized low-end that makes all the volume and a differentiated high-end that makes all the profits. Think Android/iPhone, Windows/Mac, TSMC/Intel, Volkswagon/Porsche, etc. The commodity low-end programmer isn't the guy in Missouri, it's the guy in Minsk or Bangkok. You're either the one making up the specs (which will probably still be in Silicon Valley, because that requires communication and trust more than coding ability), or the one implementing the specs (which can be anywhere, with commensurate wages).
You make one of the best arguments for Bootstrap.

In general, my philosophy on components is: Don't reinvent the wheel.

Whenever possible, I try to extend stock components rather than create something new. If you use a select instead of making some react-based div-popper thing, accessibility is included. It can be tougher to tweak them to look the way you want, but you don't have to worry as much about what a screen-reader is going to do with it, etc.

Totally agree about how bad some sites are with regards to accessibility.
I grew up in the Florida Keys where the water table is very close to the surface so it's impossible to bury anything. When I was a young teenager, we would lose electricity all the time from tree branches brushing up against the power lines. They finally solved the problem by putting in power lines on concrete poles that are a few stories up! No more squirrels and tree branches disputing power!
Even if your app is very simple, you constantly need to do something to keep it on the app store. Agree to this, add that type of image, fill that sort of info. It gets tedious.
