I wonder how much silver comes from recycling old copper, lead and zinc.

Only about a quarter of « new » silver comes from silver mines. The rest as a byproduct of other mineral mining where they separate out the silver.

It scares me to think that there's a good chance we'll look back a decade from now and remember this as the golden age of ad blocking. Google getting steadily more powerful doesn't bode well for user freedoms on issues like this.

Thank you I really appreciate it!

I'm not sure why you weren't able to sign up, did it give you an error? This is the most people I've had on the site today so it's possible that a load issue was surfaced.

Thanks again!
Physical abuse is a high bar. You pretty much need an injury, or for the parent to lose control (e.g. drunkenness / anger management). To say any level of intensity in a spanking is too high, already puts you closer to the abolitionist position than to the US status quo.
Thanks! Yea, I built a whole kind of config api for another project a long time ago and used this technique. It worked well.

That said, I went a bit overboard on it because I wanted to load a json file as the 'default' base and then be able to save it on the filesystem, update it via a http API and merge in changes over time to the saved version on disk. The reason was that this 'agent' ran on thousands of little computers (litecoin mining machines) and needed to be configurable per miner.

This is the source if you want to take a look:

https://github.com/blockassets/bam_agent/blob/master/service...

It is all unit tested too.

For another more recent project that isn't open source, I've since re-done it to be a lot simpler (and moved to packr2). It just reads the file. =)

> I have a lot of trust in Microsoft

I’d love to trust Microsoft. They have a lot of talented people working on a lot of cool things.

But, they voluntarily collaborated with the US Government to spy on their users at home and abroad, and those people are still in charge, as far as I know.
What does it have to do with reality, though?
yep that's it, it's created in the build stage and passed into the app!
At the moment, the best CP2077 experience IMO is just to do the plot missions, maybe a few of the side gigs.

Play it on the easiest difficulty setting just for the plot.

Then shelve it and come back when the first DLC is released and do a "full" play-through.
Why can't you afford it now?
Probably, but I think the post you are responding to is talking about the sort of modulation that artificially alters a radio carrier wave in order to encode information.

> The C++ in the GoF book is not representative of C++

Looking back at when the book was published, we had PowerPlant, CSet++, SOM, COM, CORBA, Turbo Vision, OWL, MFC, VCL, Motif++.

Definitely representative.

I like C++, and yes there is more to C++ than those OOP frameworks, yet lets not pretend that what gave birth to Java like enterprise coding came from C++ development practices during the decade that preceded it.
> While HTML and CSS started in the ways that you've described. That's not what they are for now.

Has HTML eveolvd beyond a single tree? No. Has HTML evolved beyond displaying (barely) just text and images? Also, no [1]. Have HTML and CSS evolved to a point where it doesn't involve a reflow/repaint of the entire page or large chunks of a page to do the simplest things? Also, no. Have there been significant updates to the DOM model? No.

> What use does framing HTML and CSS from the perspective of their origins have?

It helps you understand what the are, not what people pretend they are. It also helps you understand why things are they way they are, why so many things are complex, or impossible, or interact in unintuitive ways with each other, or why a 10-page essay on how to center an element ends up with a yet another "gentle flex" hack reminiscent of the "Search for the Holy Grail Layout" of 10 years ago.

Because no matter how many times you use "holistic" and "unison" in your speeches, it doesn't change what HTML + CSS are essentially are at their very core that permeates everything: a way to display (rather poorly) static content that consists of text and a few images, in as few render passes as possible (because it was developed for the 90s era computers). Everything else is a series of gargantuan efforts costing millions of dollars to try and mold them into something they are not.

[1] There is a reason why most UI frameworks for the web (doesn't matter whether it's pure CSS or it's Javascript through and through) implement the same half-a-dozen to a dozen components: a button, a label, a badge, breadcrumbs, a text input. Very few dare to implement a date picker. Even fewer go for complex elements (actually working accessible modal dialogs, virtual lists, tree views etc.). Because the moment you step outside the "text + images" capabilities of HTML, you're screwed. And no amount of hacks added to CSS can help you with that. I won't even mention the impossibility of high-performance animations. Sure, you can CSS-transform something... as long as the original element stays in place and never moves because actually doing proper stuff in "CSS and HTML that's not the same now" is just as expensive and nearly impossible as it ever was [1.1]

I think there's an ever bigger issue at play:

> Burroughs said he became interested in the child influencer phenomenon after his own kids asked him to do the things that Ryan’s family was doing. “I thought, ‘Oh, there’s something going on here if my kids are expecting our family to look like Ryan’s family.’ In Ryan’s family, they’re able to constantly consume content and products. They’re opening up a new toy every day, and subsequently playing with that new toy every day, so there’s this constant consumerism that’s being embedded within these messages for children.”

These videos go beyond trying to get a child to want X product - they're warping their perception of reality.
We had mandatory registration at restaurants here when they were still open. Some had paper forms, especially initially, others used web forms.

People were worried that it would be easy to grab the filled out forms and get a restaurant's guests' phone numbers and addresses (and it probably was). Predictably, one of the rushed web forms had non-existant security, making it easy to get all restaurants guests' phone numbers and addresses.
This is their normal schedule - the beta release is a couple of months before the final release.

> But for that bandwidth to be used efficiently, the processes on each NUMA node need to almost exclusively limit themselves to memory attached to their node -- at which point, well-written software could probably do just as good spread out over several machines that are connected by multiple 100Gb network links, and then you saved two or three bajillion dollars.

Wait, so latency over NUMA is too much, but you're willing to incur a 100Gb network link? Intel's UPI is like 40GBps (Giga-BYTEs, not bits) at sub 500ns latency.

100Gb Ethernet is what? 10GBps in practice? 1/4th the bandwidth with 4x more latency (in the microseconds) or something?

That's a PCIe latency penalty (x2, for the sender + the receiver). That's a penalty for electrical -> optical, and back again.

Any latency, or bandwidth, bound problem is going to prefer a NUMA-link rather than 100Gbps over PCIe.

> I'd expect them to have the resources to start working on ARM now, while planning for RISC-V further out.

I doubt that strategy would work. The problem in the PC space is that there's no Apple-like leader who can boldy drive a change in CPU architecture. Whoever is first out of the gate bears all the risk of the change not catching on. If you lose the bet, you've wasted massive R&D spend to make a lemon. Take a look at the reviews of Microsoft's ARM surface laptops to see what I mean here.

I think there's an opportunity over the next 5 years or so for PC makers to ride the M1's coattails and shift from x86 to ARM. Especially given intel's failure to move off 14nm. But I doubt lightning will strike twice. If windows moves to ARM now, we'll be stuck there for at least another few decades. And the technical argument for RISC-V will be much weaker if ARM rules the roost.

Weirdly the strongest counterargument I can think of is due to electron. Chrome will maintain first class support for any and every popular CPU architecture. So the more that desktop software is written on the web and in electron apps, the easier any architecture transition will be down the road. That and the server space. Linux already supports RISC-V extremely well given how few linux-capable RV chips there are in the wild.

Given that this pandemic has killed millions, shut down the world economy, and caused untold long term damage to children due to lack of stable schooling: yes, it’s because the precautionary principle is too costly.

Edit: sorry, my comment may have sounded snarky, which was not my intention. World-wide vaccinations do carry a risk. It’s just that such a risk clearly pales in comparison to the very known downsides of the current situation. I am in no way a vaccine expert and cannot comment intelligently on why long-term risks are considered to be low.
Yeah this is going to be a massive win for shipping resource dependencies. Genuine single file static linked applications is such a massive win for deployment and management.

NOBUS doctrine has implicit, philosophical problems. It may work with kinetic weapons because research is more expensive, obscure, dangerous and accumulation of knowledge has a greater effect.

On the cybersecurity side, its effectiveness inherently reduced because any person with a laptop can conduct the same research in principle. So, other parties can find breakthroughs or leapfrog each other with relatively minimal effort.

On the other hand, NOBUS has an inherent ego attached. It considers other parties to be inferior permanently. It considers other parties are unable and will be unable forever unless we leak something. This is a flawed thinking in computer science / programming research.

The core of the irony has two layers. First the personal one: The timing of reading the book and how the events unfold.

Second irony is in the US government. They were aware that they're not ready to defend if someone uses the same weapon against them, however they were so focused to improve their offensive capabilities and failed to secure themselves. Moreover, the attack came via a national software company. They've hit from inside. It's like adding insult to injury.

Why do we think that 'our own servers' gives us 'better security'?

I think this is the illusion of control.

"security assurances as if I were to have my own locked cage at some colo."

'Locked cage' - is not going to help us secure it from the kind of intrusion we are afraid of.

Scale means more layers of vms, more redundancy, more sophisticated security teams etc..

Physically, Fort Knox has never been robbed, whereas any mom and pop shop can be.

I'm really surprised the US Military has not been working with the FAANGS to produce a new OS that is fundamentally more secure and containerized, including a networking stack with identity built right in, and of course, working on easy solutions for the user side of the equation as well to thwart social attacks. And maybe possibly systems architecture groupings to bifurcate systems from one another.

> The OP was asking why employees can make nothing during an acquisition,

Right, and one of the ways that can happen is that founders do not have preference and their stock goes to nothing with the rest of the common (e.g. an equity group has your debt and 2x preference, they get almost all of the sale price). But to keep the founders on side and "cohesion" through the transfer, they are offered money outside of the equity sale in the earn out terms. If all goes well they still make ok/good money on the deal, but none/little of it is from their equity. If you are engineer #47 you may or may not have a job after the acquisition but your equity value just vanished.
Ariane is still somewhat competitive to geocentric orbits and when dual berthing.

Falcon 9 and Heavy lose most of their performance advantage when going to higher orbits, IIRC because their first stages stage lower, and their upper stage has an ISP disadvantage vs. hydrogen rockets.

To maximize payload percentage to both LEO and higher orbits the most optimal rocket configuration is a first stage burning a dense fuel like RP-1 or Methane to minimize your largest tankage size/weight, and use hydrogen on your upper stage to maximum ISP without incurring too large a cost in heavier tankage. That’s how the Saturn V could lift 150 metric tons to LEO and 50 to translunar injection.

But instead SpaceX decided to use the same fuel and engines for both stages to get economies of scale in engine production, and dense fuels to save the most dry mass.

They could have optimized the next generation Falcon platform with a cryogenic hydrogen upper, and increased their GEO payloads 10-20%, at the cost of dual engine designs with less economies of scale and increased fueling complexity and infrastructure.

Instead they decided to brute force the same simple design architecture and build a 10x larger booster/second stage with Starship/SuperHeavy with 3x times the engines. One engine type, one fuel type and bigger rockets with enough brute lifting capacity that you can still put 100 metric tons in LEO while conserving enough to fly back your first stage and make your second stage out of heavy stainless steel so it can re-enter and be reused too.

So probably two thirds the payload to orbit capacity as a Saturn V style rocket, but 1/100th the cost per launch.

I think you're kind of missing OP's point. No matter how enthusiastic you are at the beginning of your career, that field of things you enjoy and teams you enjoy working with is likely to narrow over time for a couple of reasons.

Everything's more fun when it's new and you're learning fast, but less and less seems new as you gain experience. A lot of "new" things are obviously reincarnations of things you learned long ago. Others just seem obviously stupid according to whatever biases you've accumulated (and we all do). Over time, you have to roam further and further afield to find anything truly new and not stupid. Sometimes that's so far afield that it's beyond anything that would have ever interested you even when young.

As for teams, well, some things are just pretty constant. What job is not going to have tedious planning sessions, testing woes, source-control and deployment drudgery? Only one where you're a prima donna pushing all of that onto other people, or one headed for disaster because you're all incompetent cowboys. If it was all fun and games, they wouldn't pay so much for people to do it, and liking your immediate team only gets you so far.

Neither burnout nor retirement is like a light switch, going instantly from love to hate of the entire profession. It's a gradual weakening of the attractions and strengthening of the discontents, until you reach a tipping point. It might seem sudden or unexpected, but quite often it really isn't. It's something people can plan for, and that many more should.

As for what to do after, why do you assume that not wanting this career any more means not wanting any career (or hobby) at all? Second careers are not uncommon, and often one of the things that's frustrating about "always on" tech work is being pulled away from something else one enjoys. "Software development or nothing" seems like a really bizarre dichotomy.

Is the Russian wife the new Canadian girlfriend?
For the moment I don't think its a tough decision at all - has to be x86 (and I say that as someone who has complained about the x86 duopoly). Why?

- It's in both AMD and Intel's interests for x86 to remain dominant for as long as possible. If they could it would be in their interest to drive Arm new entrants out of the market (I don't believe that will happen though).

- Introducing an Arm product (or even hinting at one) would add credibility to new entrants and undermine existing products.

- They could almost certainly switch to an Arm design reasonably quickly if they needed to.

There is also some uncertainty about the impact that Nvidia will have on Arm when it takes it over. x86 is AMD's jointly owned ISA - they have no control over the Arm ISA.
And that's expected to be succeeded by NOEL (LEON anagram), a radiation hardened RISC-V CPU focused on high reliability.
using a password of solarwinds123 in production is kind of asking to be hacked https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20201215/13203045893/secur...
My understanding was that FireEye noticed because this backdoor was used to attack them. They worked it backwards and found the backdoor.

It would be interesting to know how many "softer" targets the attacker went after and were completely undetected.

It's worth noting that FireEye didn't find the backdoor until after it had been exploited. Nobody can vet modern software. The complexity is too high, let alone accounting for the ridiculous update "velocity" that's coming out of most commercial software today.

Just getting software "manufacturers" to itemize and document the normal communication mechanisms used by their software, so that threat hunters aren't reverse engineering communications protocols, would go a long way. If SolarWinds had provided a list of domains their software needed to communicate with that would have gone a long way to stopping this kind of attack. (I can't be the only person who demands vendors provide this info, and who puts third-party software behind MiTM proxies and hard-assed ACLs.)
Capex & salary requirements. I personally don't have the time to drive to the datacenter to fix something. We'd need someone who is available pretty much on-demand to manage the hardware acquisition/install/maintenance/decommissioning. We are a very small organization. One extra person is a big deal for us.

That said, its really close to being possible. We are going to look at it hard next year. With the density coming out of AMD these days, we can probably solve the capex problem pretty easily.
