Thankfully, AT&T doesn't run PPPoE on fiber (but hush before they get any bright ideas), but even if the 'residential gateway' is in bridge mode, it's performimg a useless function for users that don't need/want it to do NAT or WiFi or whatever it does for TV.

Lode Runner was incredibly addictive even without the level editor.

I greatly enjoyed the game when it came out, but didn't even know it had a level editor until you mentioned it right now.
I think that the dispute around Phobos in 2010 together with C++11 froze the enthusiasm that was brewing around it. Rust nowadays got much more mindshare than D ever had, and C++17/20 while extremely complicated is "good enough" for a lot of folks out there.

Also, I think that stuff such as garbage collection and reference types seriously fell out of fashion, because there's no way in hell lots of C folks will ever consider a language with them, sadly.

My first web experience was remote telnet connection into just that workstation in CERN.

It was common to allow anonymous telnet logins back then. The protocol was to use the username "anonymous" as a login name and maybe your email address as a password as a courtesy.

I experimented a little. My impression was that it was very much like a gopher but not as organized and has less content. So I logged out and forgot about it. Then game Mosaic.

What Is an Apple?
Then 2020 happened and startups are going public at a rate not seen since the dot com days.

Whenever an article like this is posted HN seems to immediately raise this issue about how startup equity is just a lottery ticket when the probability of it paying off is clearly so much higher especially at a time when so many startups this year and next are going public at $10B plus valuations.

If there was a time to have options at a growing, revenue generating startup it’s today.

I suppose there are different prospective models depending on which seasons of the show you focus on. This take seems directly disputed in whatever season showed the sociopaths unable to figure out how Michael's branch could possibly be profitable. That plot arc offers a more scathing critique than the author's model lets on.

In fact, it reminds me a lot like Linus' critique of svn-- the idea of a design that is so perfectly antithetical to any of its stated goals that someone could blindly design a better alternative by merely asking at every turn, "What would svn not do?"

The Office seems to take the company (and any triangle it seems to fit) as similarly perfectly flawed. Consequently, Michael's chronic/comic incompetency reverses a critical mass of the company's strategies for the branch to succeed.

For a glimpse of what discussions looked like at the dawn of the public web ("slow, mostly local connections; a growing accumulation of posts; the absence of surveillance and metrics"), Rhizome has just released a painstaking "emulation" of The Thing BBS net art discussion forum. How ironic that the "last avant garde of the 20th century" should now be enshrined forever by an NEH Digital Humanities grant when it was considered too outre for even modern art museums!

In San Francisco they have an extreme concentration of poor/homeless and they should focus resources there.

Across the country on average we'll have 4-5x more Covid deaths than drug overdoses.

Edit: Not to imply a false dichotomy, the numbers are clearly related https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/p1218-overdose-death...

“The disruption to daily life due to the COVID-19 pandemic has hit those with substance use disorder hard,” said CDC Director Robert Redfield, M.D. “As we continue the fight to end this pandemic, it’s important to not lose sight of different groups being affected in other ways. We need to take care of people suffering from unintended consequences.”

A config file makes sense if every run takes the same config. But most ffmpeg options are specific to a task and inapplicable to many others.
There's certainly a lot more noise than ever before, but self-publishing to the web has never been easier. Yes, we must remain vigilant against real threats to the open web (social media silos, Chrome dominance & AMP, etc), but thinking back to when I was a kid where you basically had to go to the library to get any information at all, on balance we are far better off now. The fact that commercialism and greed has corrupted the original high-minded ideals and innocence of the early adopters is nothing new—that is true of every great idea through the history of civilization.
Some might have commented that FFmpeg is a very complex software but in its defence codecs are complex - especially in the encoding side where you basically have the whole control on the parameters. If you somehow work at a media company (on the engineering side, not the creative side which usually does not know (and care) what is the difference between P and B frames) the switches are important especially in one-way broadcasting (where there is no way to basically go backward and you need to fit everything into a very constrained transmission, which as one of my friends say that engineers at YouTube has a much more easier job due to the two-way communication nature of the internet).
Recurring paradox: how military command & control communication technology also fosters spontaneous collaboration. An interesting tension.

A new phrase: “The Tertullian effect”
Based on a popular misquote of early Christian Tertullian: “I believe because it is absurd”

To read more about the origin of this quote: https://aeon.co/ideas/i-believe-because-it-is-absurd-christianitys-first-meme

I was searching for a phrase to express an attitude I see in both markets and politics. It’s an attitude in which the more absurd position is the one preferred. This is not only because the absurd position aligns with one’s prior beliefs, but also because one is getting enough confirmation from an irrational environment that they are not forced to abandon it.

For example, the stock market defying rationale by making an all time high while GDP tanks, unemployment soars and mass evictions are right around the corner, means that the stock market can only ever go up. It’s an absurd position but recently, also the correct one.

I also see this effect in the way that Trump devotees concoct increasingly elaborate and absurd explanations for every misstep he has taken. Every gaffe is not a gaffe, but part of of an intricate “4D chess” plan.

It’s something like the opposite of Occam’s razor. Or, something like the backfire effect taken to an extreme, where contradictory evidence not only cements your view, but causes you to take an increasingly convoluted position to defend it.

Gradient decent doesn't per se, but retraining ("fine-tuning") on another dataset forgets most of the training done on the first dataset.
It's not a random search through the parameter space:

"But how do we select a good network from these Kn different networks? Brute-force evaluation of
all possible configurations is clearly not feasible due to the massive number of different hypotheses.
Instead, we present an algorithm, shown in Figure 1, that iteratively searches the best combination
of connection values for the entire network by optimizing the given loss. To do this, the method
learns a real-valued quality score for each weight option. These scores are used to select the weight
value of each connection during the forward pass. The scores are then updated in the backward pass
based on the loss value in order to improve training performance over iterations."

It's actually pretty clever.
As a European, I would say the US is very different from Europe. Yes, they are similar in economic terms, but the social attitudes, economic attitudes and worldview feel starkly different. Of course the US is big place, and this varies among states, but still.

While I totally understand the frustration with taxes, vesting rules, etc. the entire problem, IMO, comes from the lack of liquidity in these shares.

These are "realized" gains to the IRS, but unrealizable to the employee because there's no way to sell the shares. That leads to large tax bills only payable in cash, which you can't get by selling the shares.

There are solutions to provide this liquidity in the works: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.ft.com/content/d52b0487-b13...

I found it very weird that the SLIDE algorithm from early 2019 isn’t mentioned. Maybe I missed it or maybe it is compared just deeper in the referenced publications?

I’m just curious whether you know how blockstack in the “about” section of your profile relates to Bitcoin.... That’s just one of the examples illustrative of some sort of Bitcoin’s value outside being a currency - which coincidentally, hasn’t been the goal of core devs for quite a while.
> All it lacks is some cannibalism...

If you could have resisted the temptation to embellish, you would have made a quite reasonable point - though seeking collective shelter in caves in a harsh winter does not seem too far-fetched to me. It's not like humanity has no history of doing this! While famine is thankfully no longer a part of many peoples' experience, it has been for most of humanity's existence and still is for some.

As for ideological motivation, this anecdote is being presented in the context of an anthropological claim about early human behavior, not about North Korea or communism. I tend to trust OP's judgment as to whether he was being strung along by the driver for ideological reasons.

I feel like the basics are simple and intuitive. Enough use of it and you will not consult docs for the most basic tasks. Then you start to think "but how do I...?" and go to google. I tend to also forget the answer after a few months.
Londoner here too and I agree with your observations about compliance. Tons of rule breaking. The dance studio next to my dwelling has been running popular dance classes as recently as last night. I think it's mostly an age thing: the under 20s almost completely ignore covid restrictions, and so does a substantial part of the under 30s. I can't even blame them as it doesn't affect them. And they mostly lack an understanding of the concept of asymptomatic carrier.
Regarding your PSA: In the mean time Taiwan has not had a quarantine at all, and has been free of (internal) Covid for over 200 days. Other SE-Asian countries are all doing very well, Japan for example does not have quarantine either.

European lock-down policies have been a monumental failure. Not good enough to stop the spread. But ruining the economy (and everybody's fun). It is truly remarkable that Europeans agree with being locked away for nearly one year now with little to show for, while other societies achieve much better results with different, and less drastic measures. No curiosity at all, it seems, even to understand why Taiwan, Japan and other countries succeed! SMH
Why would that make for a reasonable threat to the publishers or government? The power the academics have here is much more direct, if they are organised enough to make such an action: they can simply stop using the journals (indeed many fields and subfields do not use such closed-access journals).
Those videos brought back some memories. Wow. Thanks for sharing.

> The sum of a large number of small engineering improvements, coupled with a lot of component integration detail work,

Exactly. ARM has been progressing faster than Intel. For the past 8 years or so, Apple has had the fastest ARM CPU out there on the iPhone/ iPad. Apple has sucked up TSMC's 5nm production. They've integrated a pile of relevant coprocessors into the CPU and put fast RAM on the package. The SSD is lightning fast and SSD encryption is done via a dedicated coprocessor.

It's not one magic trick, it is countless bits of engineering, manufacturing, and purchase choices.
> The fine motor skill and expert timing are a given in automation

I'm not convinced. For example, robots are absolutely terrible at handling cloth tasks (for example, folding laundry). I suspect that handling food, which has complex and unique (depending on ripeness etc.) physical responses to manipulation isn't much easier. Just try to give some in theory simple slicing tasks (such as - slicing an onion or a chicken fillet) to a 7 year old and see how well he does. The robot is no better.
You could have local copies of what you had in OwnCloud too, so I don't understand the point of going to iCloud.
> Then hop on the bus and have conversations with the 'average person'. You fill find somewhat less conscientious, less interested, less curious, less intelligent people.

Wow, this is jaw-dropping stereotype.

I used to ride the bus, and unsurprisingly, my level of intelligence was completely unaffected by the mode of transportation I happened to be using at the time.

Also, public transportation is more environmentally friendly than everyone driving cars.

Now that I think a little more about it, your comment is interesting because I'm wondering how much empirical experience you have striking up conversations with people on the bus? If you're a frequently bus rider, doesn't that make you, by your own argument, less intelligent?
You're being downvoted by the community because it sounds like partisan nonsense, but everyone needs to understand - by downplaying Russia's involvement, Trump is getting his supporters to think there's no need to go after Russia for this attack, which in turn gets many members of Congress to think there's no need to go after Russia for this attack.

There is a serious problem here. Our national interests are not being served by Trump, with countless examples to point at.
>> This is why we should work to transform the UN Peacekepeers into a militarized world police, composed of volunteers from countries all over the world. While simultaneously drawing down and disarming the world’s militaries.

It’s honestly terrifying to me that anyone thinks that this is a sound idea that would lead to a better world in the long run.

If there is anything that human history has proven, it’s that you cannot prevent corruption and that the centralization of power only further incentivizes corruption.
What exactly makes RISC-V easier to implement? Is it only about fewer instructions? Or is it as much or more about the semantic s and simplicity of the instructions you got to implement?

Is it possibly to point out some important things that increase the complexity noticeably in implementing ARM?
I still don’t fully understand the memory management side V. From what I’ve seen V takes a similar route as Nim’s recent ORC feature (https://nim-lang.org/docs/destructors.html#move-semantics), which automatically inserts destructor calls using move semantics. The question is, is there a similar move semantic model in V akin to C++ and Nim, or does it work in a totally different way? This wasn’t clear when reading the documentation, which made me a bit skeptical about it.

Thanks. I keep meaning to try it out but booting from an SSD instead. I was hoping anything intensive (e.g. thumbnail generation) would be a one-time thing so not noticeable in daily usage. Perhaps I will re-think, I have a ThinkCentre M75q I could use but that seems overkill.
> Others may feel camgirls are collecting undeserved money, they don't do actual noble valuable work, just cash in based on their genetics and immorality.

As someone who is a supporter of legal sex work and pornography. The "cashing on genetics" part bothers me the most. I don't know how to process when good looking people can earn thousands of dollars almost doing nothing (particularly on digital platform like OnlyFans), whereas regular people have to work day and night to earn a living. Right now, when sex-work is stigmatized, it seems fair because they are getting paid a lot while suffering the stigma. Similar to a lot high-risk job is also high paying because of the high risk. But once sex work gets accepted in the society, then why should they get paid so much without the work like rest of the society. Maybe if sex-work gets destigmatized it will not be very high paying profession.
Would you mind to explain the encryption part?

— what software and algorithm do you use?

There could be problems with some of these programs.

— how do you handle the key management to ensure that you are not locked out of your data?

I am not sure if memorization of the secrets is a good approach.

pfizer did not take the time to check how much warmer the freezers could get without impacting vaccine viability. moderna did. pfizer knew a certain threshold was safe, so they put it on the tin. moderna tested, found their “real” threshold.

note pfizer beat moderna to patient arms by about a week or so. both companies made series of these tradeoffs during development due to speed. i think moderna is being slightly more cautious (testing maximum temperature; testing their asymptomatic trial participants, which pfizer did not do) because they got federal dollars and this is their first product out of phase 3. hard to have a bigger rodeo as your first biomedical product.
> The complaint reveals that after Facebook bought WhatsApp, which pledged to its users (and the FTC) strict privacy controls, “Facebook signed an exclusive agreement with Google, granting Google access to millions of Americans’ end-to-end encrypted WhatsApp messages, photos, videos, and audio files.” If true, that’s a remarkable set of illegal acts, by both Google and Facebook, as well as a betrayal of their users.

This has already been debunked as bullshit. What the lawsuit is referring to is just WhatsApp adding the option of backing up your chat history to Google Drive on android devices.
The reality is that making a comfortable five USD figures annually by publishing books whether self-publishing or going through a traditional publisher probably puts you at the very top of the curve.

Yes, and I assume at least some of the more successful self-published authors on Amazon are churning out material they can create a lot of quickly. I also assume they do a lot of marketing and have a reliable fan base in most cases.

How many HN posts did we have for all the startups that went under or sold for pennies on the dollar?

My friends who spent 6 years at a startup just found out his equity is literally worth pennies on the dollar. It will be a write off at best.
