You realize Snowden didn’t just dump all of these documents on a torrent site right? Given that he’s not a professional journalist and was risking his freedom he grabbed what he could and took it to reputable journalists to do the work of ensuring the leak doesn’t endanger others without a good reason. What else do you expect him to do? If he’d gone to a superior he’d be rotting in jail and we would have no evidence of mass surveillance in this country.
The full list of incidents is here: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-capitol-hist...

But while all of those are incidents, attacks, etc., I think the distinction (which I failed to highlight) is that 1814 and 2021 involved a complete overrun of the building rather than a localized incident or intrusion. Doesn't make much of a practical difference in the end, though.
I’m well aware that most lisps and BEAM languages are dynamically typed. My objection wasn’t that they didn’t include static types, but that there’s also a strong tradition of these languages including a prominent headline about static types, which gets my hopes up that this one is bucking that trend, only to have my hopes dashed. It’s so much a general expectation that a lisp will have a dynamic type system that it’s safe to assume and could go without saying.
Yep. Tab history is important. How I got to some page is almost as important as the page itself.

I've been using large tab sessions ever since Opera 5 in the early 2000s. Back then I'd have 20-50 tabs or so. These days I have sessions of 500 active tabs and 500 suspended. It's great. I have full text tab search, and since my sessions last years, I know the general location of all important tabs. ALso, since I use a single process brower and NoScript, all those 500+ tabs take under <3 GB of ram.

It's matter of taste, but it's no new trend. Tabs, and tab users, have been around for 20 years now.

People jumping ship is super bad news for government surveillance as WhatsApp has a convenient backdoor that alternatives don't have: the majority of users don't disable unencrypted backups in the cloud.
So until now, despite all their hand waving about how bad encryption is, governments had an easy judicial way of accessing messages.
I also think that replacing the video feed with an avatar (upload or choose) would make it even better.

One of my favorite features of Clubhouse is lack of video. That said, afaiu Chatmosphere is an open source project so I guess it would be easy to add as functionality if no-video isn't already configurable somehow.

That's what I was thinking too but it is possible he'd be pardoned by any other president for the right amount. I'd just think Trump would be the easiest to obtain a paid pardon from.
Porting Firefox to Apple Silicon
I work in software. I know the dangers of a day 0 exploit. I also know the dangers of an x.0 release of software.

Security is often in tension with convenience/usability (as in this case).

Concretely: I don't update to the latest MacOS day of release. I do update after a few weeks of "no significant issues reported" (or I'll update manually faster if I learn of a serious exploit). I still haven't updated to BigSur as some of the software that I rely on doesn't work on BigSur yet, so I'm on the latest patch of Catalina.

In the past I also had some information leaks with an Nvidia discrete graphics card, which seemed to not clear its RAM or something. I think it even persisted over restarts or similar complete session terminations. So I assume, driver issues may play into this too.

That's not how it works.

If you want volume from TSMC you make a big order, you sign a contract, and then put down a billion dollars or two and TSMC will build you a nice new fab for your needs.

That's more or less how it works. TSMC doesn't allow itself to be in a position to have to screw one customer for another customer. It would destroy the trust that customers need to put the survival of their business in TSMC's hands.

I don't understand why the author treats referring to Dijkstra's paper as "appealing to authority". To me it is natural to defer to a well-written paper instead of repeating the same arguments in your own words, regardless on who wrote it.
Boat to boat transfers are tricky. I'd still put my money on some sort of lift. Though TBH if we're stipulating a level of science fiction that allows routine human suborbital flight, getting people out to a launch platform comfortably and safely is not a hard problem by comparison.

>However, a bigger issue is how calm the weather needs to be before their going to launch rockets, though that means people aren’t going to go out to the launch platform in bad weather.

I'm honestly not sure why you wouldn't just use helicopters. They're not that unsafe if flown in good weather. VIPs fly in them all the time.
Kubernetes Networking
Author here: I tried to capture networking on a conceptual level, not an implementation level. The idea is to describe the network as a graph of idealized processes and switches. If every message trace that is valid for the model is valid for the actual Kubernetes Network, the model and the network are trace compatible, therefore any true statement about the model is a true statement about the actual network. So far I have gotten some positive feedback, especially from non-network engineers, and some negative feedback, especially from network engineers. Let me know what you think.
For any extension that makes any money, the solution is a deposit scheme.

"Google will withhold $1 per user of your ad revenue forever. If your extension is found to contain malware, you forfeit all the $1's. Decisions on malware'y ness shall be made by XYZ malware researchers."

Allow a developer to get back their $1 when a user uninstalls the extension, or the developer stops making the extension. Also give the developer a certificate anytime showing how many $1's you hold of theirs (they could use that to get a loan from someone willing to trust them not to distribute malware).

I think for sea launching dynamic positioning can be used the engines should be powerful enough and you have more control on under which sea conditions you’ll be operating under.

At that point the exhaust might be the biggest problem but if you design your exhaust deflectors correctly they themselves can be used for station keeping as long as you don’t vent everything from one side of the rig I think you’ll be all right.

Deep enough ballast tanks and dynamic positioning should be more than stable enough for launch.

I think the rigs in the med use dynamic positioning even on a semi permanent basis because the Mediterranean is much calmer compared to say the North Sea or even the Atlantic.
> I don't think very many people are saying it is impossible that Oumuamua was an alien construct and actively discouraging science based on the idea it could be.

Actually yes. You'll be laughed out of the virtual room, not get funding, and potentially damage your career.

As he points out in his interview with Lex (linked elsewhere in the comments here) is fine to propose a multi billion dollar experiment to detect oxygen on exoplanets, which is not conclusive evidence of life, but to search for industrial pollution is a non starter for exactly this reason. But that would yield much more interesting results (both for negative and positive results.)

Soapboxing over mundane morality will always be politically popular. Talking about the political economy is much more difficult.
I'm not necessarily advocating one way or another, just using an example to address the claim that while "The pardon doesn't do anything to address systemic problems in the justice system", it could.
Not to belabor the meta discussion, but your comment sparked a question. If it is how you say, and using a politico-economic lens, I wonder if there has been any discernible shift in commenter attitudes as the demographics have changed. Specifically, if the shift was from entrepreneurs -> skilled wage workers, as you’ve asserted.

The interests of the petit bourgeoisie (entrepreneurs, et al), the professional management class and that of skilled workers sometimes overlap. I think those overlaps would probably translate to some overarching strains of belief, for example, the tendency toward libertarian viewpoints on HN.

Sorry for the tangent, just had to get that out of my head!
A lot of the cheaters I have dealt with just distribute hacked apks for free. They make them with programs like this.

It forces us to make changes to the games that make them less performant, or with a bunch of delays for server checks. That degrades the quality of the game for all the real users.
I'm also interested on this. I usually run Ubuntu via Vagrant + Virtualbox on my Mac.
I HATE it when ANYTHING takes focus on its own

This didn't used to be possible in MacOS X. When I switched from Windows, it was such a lovely surprise I considered it one of the best reasons to make the change.

That didn't last. Maybe five years ago, something changed and MacOS allowed programs to hijack focus. I was so disappointed.

Apple seems to be (very slowly) getting back to fundamentals. I wish reverting this change was part of that program.
It's a weird statement that confuses the purpose of an object with what an object does. Purpose exists only in our heads; natural objects don't have one. There is no <purpose="sail"> tag attached to atoms.

In other words, anything that behaves as a sail would, can be called a sail. And there are plenty of objects around us that behave as sails, not made such by humans, or made so unintentionally.

20 of the pardons on that list are for people that were convicted of fraud, I'm sure he feels a certain empathy/kinship with these folks.

These aren't some crappy organizations that do 'deals' to get their objectives. There's really (afaik) two ways to keep government in check. Voting and paying lawyers to sue the government when they do 'bad' things (read: against the law/constitution).

While this is nice on principles, its raw version is hard to read. I have to actively separate formatting keywords from content keywords. On the other hand, a nice byproduct of markdown is that the raw version almost gets formatted already from the syntax itself.
I second this. Look for facebook groups, online forums, or subreddits where you can interact with experienced programmers. There are many articles written about all these different places.
"Keywords instead of key characters" is a feature to the author.

In South Asia, bull herders often have nails at the end of their herding poles. I asked my grandfather if it hurts the bull, and he said, "of course not, they have thick skin".
There are TNG episodes that specifically deal with that, and the problems it causes. I think ENT had a few as well, instances which led them to the creation of the Prime Directive.
It would be nice if public health agencies formally considered the public cost of such atomization from covid lockdowns. They may find in the end that the cost is worth paying, but it should be part of the analysis.

But what kind of study could yield valid, reproducible data about how much atomization is caused by how much lockdown, and how much authoritarianism is caused by how much atomization?
Which "auth" would that be? I get the feeling the article means authentication only, but halfway through it says "When your [..] authorization systems are down". Outsourcing your authentication isn't that much of a problem, especially in the context of decentralization of services. But authorization is rather tightly coupled to your service, and outsourcing that part would be much more of a challenge -- keeping authorization rules up-to-date with external systems is a difficult dependency management problem.

But regardless of which "auth" was meant, I feel this part is dangerous:

Auth may be unrelated to your core competency

No, please no. Both authentication and authorization must be considered a core competency for every online service, even if you decide to partly outsource it. You can't afford to have blind spots there.

What instructions from an extended ISA are you referring to? The only ones I've seen written up have been:

1. Instructions to change the memory ordering mode, which allows Rosetta2 to skip some expensive memory fences when translating x86 binaries to ARM.

2. Some instructions for matrix math.

I wouldn't expect either of these to affect typical usage or battery life much, unless your workflow involves running things that do a ton of matrix math.

There is always a chance that the Higher Civilization missed something - culturally, scientifically or artistically speaking. Letting such civilization emerge, and help them ascend when they reach certain level seems to be saner and safer approach.

The Higher Civilization might've been stuck in local maxima, adding such random element might let the Higher Civilisation absorb the best parts and move towards another, better local maxima.

Accusing you of not paying attention was wrong and I am sorry.

It is quite possible that there exist people that profess to be libertarian and don't understand the point about about persuasion over coercion.
> In that situation, if my cloud vendor were to say they would solve that problem for me as they would be willing to invest whatever engineering bandwidth required to make it happen, then I would go with them.

Aren't cloud vendors generally less willing then smaller SAAS companies to do custom engineering work for their customers?
Maybe the issue is what you consider a "clear error message"?

A clear error message should not necessarily clearly explain what the issue is - a clear error message should clearly explain how to solve the issue, or at least point the user in the direction of a solution.
As a startup with 2 engineers, yes, we use Auth0 and love that it handles everything for us at the moment.

The problem, in the US, anyway, is more that either they can't be paid differently or that the bad ones can't be fired and the new ones paid more and held to higher standards. The cost per student is already quite high.

Nations like Finland and Poland have figured out how to make that change and seen their students flourish; hopefully we will too.
A common carrier can't ban you from using their services because they happen to not like aspects of your business. Parler was sending 2fa codes with twilio. They were not using twilio sms as an interface to parler's user generated content.
Wow, Game Maker 5.1 or something like that is how I started programming, Its drag & drop was super easy to use, and then you could add code blocks and program in a language near to C I think.

I didn't like the YoyoGames look and prices, but GM and its author Marks Overmas, which I think left the project years ago, are part of my past so I really hope with this acquisition they can make it work.

What do you mean “return type state”? If you mean the return value, that depends on the semantics/ABI of the language, but if it would result in an allocation, that can be eliminated by another round of inlining. Functional compilers typically have to deal with the tradeoff between code size and compile time (from lots of inlining) and runtime allocation.

Just from a skim it seems like there is a new interrupt controller driver. The copyright header credits Linus Torvalds so they probably got started based on copying an existing one, but that sounds like substantial work and ongoing maintenance.
Imagine a race of ultra-advanced aliens were to give us technology that keeps us not only alive indefinitely, but robust and healthy, without disease. Just that one piece of technology. Not even weird weapons like antimatter bombs, etc.

Do you think humanity would suddenly come together in understanding and peace to explore the stars and advance ourselves... or do you think people who already have enormous wealth and power would keep themselves positioned such that their influence and control grows?

Yeah...

We're not fucking worthy of that kind of technology. Neither are any other species.

Its the struggle to acquire knowledge and power that gives you the wisdom to use it for beneficial purposes. This is the whole core of Ian Malcolm's speech to John Hammond in Jurassic Park (the book), but also to a lesser extent, the movie.
I can say similar things about many of the Obama pardons, but I'll get downvoted into oblivion if I do so. Pardon is by definition an admission of guilt, and Levandowski has already paid a steep price for what he did.

I don't believe Trump or his followers have ever claimed to be libertarian?
I doubt that cardinals came before ordinals. To me, at least at first glance, they both seem equally conceptually primitive.

As far as efficiency, this should be the task of the compiler. We shouldn't have to start counting with the "zeroth" just to save the compiler a few cycles (or a few mental cycles to whomever writes the compiler/interpreter). That's why we don't program in assembly after all.

But I agree with GP, we shouldn't start counting from 1 either, but from "1st". Keeping ordinal separate from cardinals would be closest to how natural language works and I bet it would eliminate all kind of errors and gotchas.
I believe that once you leave the country with classified material then all bets are off.
In practice, automating around 90% of it is enough.

I don't think that he could have gained much support by pardoning them: I'd expect the groups of people who might still be pulled (back) on Trump's side and the group of people who would celebrate a Snowden or Assange pardon to be mutually exclusive. And if Trump is good at anything besides golf, it's correctly assessing whom he might sway and with whom all efforts would be wasted.

Small children, babies, 85 year olds, disabled people all fly and probably make much more of the passenger population than you think. Also with the levels of obesity in many countries and other conditions I’m not sure how many “healthy adults” over the age of 30-35 you’ll find that could handle 3G without any risk.

I think the start ship on earth concept is a pipe dream, I give hyperloop a better chance of succeeding.

> That means €70 games for everyone.

That's not a given. Studios could choose to make games that are viable at a €20-30 price point. In fact thousands of them do.

I don't see why the integrity of the single market should be compromised just so a studio can spend 100 million euros on a game instead of 10.
