That is how I recently encountered Ink, disassembling the Unity code for Haven [0]!

Turns out the savegames are just encrypted JSON with a hardcoded key, and for debugging purposes, the game even allows loading unencrypted JSON!

This, and setting a specific flag in the .dll to unlock developer mode, allowed me to a developer menu to replay a few scenes that I missed (but wasn't going to replay a ~20h game for).

First time in a long while where I had fun disassembling and debugging outside of work.

I am surprised about this. Very often you must duplicate a lot of the statement in each branch of the if statement, and it's not clear that those duplicated parts are exactly the same and must be exactly the same.
If you’re paying Bay Area prices for engineers, $5K a month is a steal to not have to pay people to deal with sharding.
Writing a "popular" book aimed at the general public that espouses a particular theory is often seen as an escalation outside of an expected social norm in scientific publishing.

You're supposed to be a good little scientist, write your paper, get refereed, and hold out your hand for grant money like every one else. You ought not dare stir up the mob of public opinion. The general public shouldn't be paying attention to how science works. They might muck it up.

Thank goodness for the likes of Carl Sagan, Neil Tyson, Roger Penrose, Stephen Hawking, Kip Thorne, Richard Feynman, and Sean Carroll. They've all displayed a love of science strong enough to want to share with any who'll listen, and the wisdom to know science is a big enough idea to withstand scrutiny.
Yeah, if you move around OSs I'm sure the nonconformity is annoying. I'm in the camp that HCI is better when it's personalized rather than globally standardized, so I heavily rebind and use non-standard keyboards anyways.
One of the more ridiculous comments I’ve ever seen on HN. It might be the most ridiculous.

I’m guessing you can build AWS in a weekend and it would only cost a few thousand or less in hardware costs, and you can host it all on your cable connection.

A reputable distributor would stop carrying it.
If only the executives' salaries were scrutinized this closely. If someone is telling you about sacrificing safety to save a lone cent they are insane or hopelessly inept at their job. On almost any profit margin imaginable. Sell a million of these for $88 and you have saved only $10,000 on $88 million in sales. I don't know the Kindle profit margin but I'm going to guess it is quite a bit. One court case about the charger catching fire would eat that $10,000.

I use emacs exclusively for org-mode. I think I don't see the problems you see.
Fields are continuous. E.g. electromagnetic field in the classic electrodynamics is continuous. But its waves, photons, show quantum, discrete properties — see the photo effect. It would be easy if there were some common grid, but it's not the case. You can make photons with whatever energy from a continuous spectrum, but photons of each frequency will carry its own quantum (Latin for "amount") of energy, in discrete portions.

Why is this happening? That's the question worth 1000 Nobel prizes.

company which calls their IT departments "SREs" now.

My org recently made a bunch of people SREs, with no one leading the cause except for a Director who only involves themselves enough to be effectively seen as a taskmaster, and otherwise is forgetful, disorganized, egotistical, lacks follow-through, constantly spreads his team too thin, and has put my direct boss in a REALLY terrible spot more than one after my boss did exactly what he was instructed to.

A bunch of people were moved from roles they previously excelled at into this new org structure and called SREs. Hired a few more off the street. What are they doing? 25% help desk tasks, 25% break fixes on legacy systems, 40% fixing their own damn laptops, 10% having panic attacks. Roadmaps? Lol. Planning? Lol. SLO? SL-NO. Error budget? I dunno, expense it.

We had to have a zoom to explain and get approval to use Terraform this morning. Not even Terraform enterprise (which is a cost), just plain Terraform.

Management essentially threw a bunch of shit at a wall, stood back, watched as it slid down towards the carpet and but found themselves pondering why the shit wont stick.

Short of using my main account which is a bit too revealing, I have NO qualms admitting a brutal truth about the situation in which I find myself: I am milking this company for every ounce of knowledge and upskill-ing my dev chops and I am gone come Summer.

The pay is JUST good enough that I can take my time, be VERY selective about the next job because good lord if I end up in another shop like this ever again it will be 100% my fault. I'm about to start being stupidly picky about who gets my labor from now on, my only regret is not seeing this value sooner.

Sorry for the rant but I'm mad and snowed in and that part of your comment really brought some shit up.
I was specifically talking about data fetching there. You can absolutely do the same kind of bad thing in an ngOnInit method.
I'm staggered people didn't know this was a thing, anybody surprised must have their eyes closed or possibly be naive. It was obvious years ago, not just Amazon either... But most retailers. Most of what you see in life is fake and/or a scam, sad but true. Use your mind and stay away from scam products.
It's worth noting that the very first block was created with the following comment: 'The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.'

It seems there was a good reason why it was created when it was.
just open the html in browser as a file and you're ready to go, you can delete the demo board and create one from scratch, and export/import the localStorage as a plain json file.
It is the right thing in your mind because you want it. If the consumer agreed with you they could vote with the pockets not to buy Apple, but they don’t. The install base of Android users that root their device is also low. People do not want it. You and a small group of people want it. The market makes the rules here.

Also once again it is not a small effort to do what you want. Do you know what the current dev-test env looks like at Apple? Do you know what the code path is to turn on and off security? What do you do here? Implement a feature to allow the user to install unsigned software? Okay so you turn off the protections, does that disable the wall between apps? Is that okay? Is it okay to say well if you disable this the way the system is written all protections come down, so anything you install can read your keychain and all your passwords? How long will the EULA be when you want to press that button? What happens when someone does this scream to the media and the courts? Who is going to pay to write the code for this and the lawyers and the test team? You want to force a company to write code because it is something you want yet you are unwilling to admit that it is not free. Where does it stop, I mean I really want an iPhone that matches my car color. I guess I should get a law passed to force phone makers to support custom colors? I can get a phone that is not Apple to match my car color as everyone else has seem to do it, so why not force Apple? It’s easy right? The truth is that it is not simple, it never is. It is never just a matter of a little software.

The fact is there is no legal or moral reason for the government to be involved in this market based decision. The market here is not a monopoly, there are other players and the consumer has a choice. Just because you have an issue with it does not make it meet the legal requirement for the government to become involved. Your outrage on this issue is a false premise that fails the test of harm to the consumer.

You are welcome to use another companies product that supports the feature that you want.
When it comes to Amazon reviews you never go by the average you go to scroll down to the actual reviews and read what the one and two star reviews are complaining about and decide if that is acceptable assuming it will happen with your purchase, IMHO.
Commoditizing their complement - making it easier to teach ML with a hands-on approach, train and demo neural nets, so people and companies end up running them on their cloud machines.

That would be bad for optics. Best they can do is name a variable after you in the crashing feedback algorithm.
HTML gets little respect as a programming language because it's not one. The programming/behavior part of this is using javascript.

That said, I'm interesting in that DSL, care to link it/talk more about it?
Oftentimes, media will use imagery or illustration that are there for illustrative purposes. I don't think Bloomberg claimed to be showing actual photographic evidence. Not to mention, oftentimes the story and the presentation come from separate sources — the editors taking the written story and deciding the headline, and how to present and illustrate it.
> I’m guessing you can build AWS in a weekend

No, but a service on my NUC has better uptime than a service on AWS, and costs less, so why would I want to build AWS?
It is wild just how quickly I got used to the SE's "antiquated" 16:9 screen and button based navigation when I switched to one from my previous edge-to-edge S10e. Turns out, an all-screen display wasn't as much of an upgrade as it's made out to be.
“But I am very biased, in that I love what I do in tech at the micro level but am ambivalent as to what the industry itself has morphed into [...] I still consider that period to be some of the most exciting of my career, if only for the sheer seat-of-pants ride it was.”

Oof! It’s still important to be aware of the cost of that ambivalence. Maintaining an OS for desktop users? Probably pretty safe. Maintaining servers for Experian? Or Uber’s car right before they killed Elaine Herzberg? Yeah ambivalence (and that ride) is a privilege.
Forgive a possibly naieve question, but is this not prima facie evidence to a jury, of a link to the criminal act?

I mean, if its that few, surely this is tractable for LEA action?

pseudonymous does not mean anonymous. Nor (I would think) does the coin have to emerge into real world currency for causal chains to become strong evidence of linkage. Do some microtransacts, see the money wind up in the place, then find the people behind the wallet, by unrelated info eg when they "spend" it on you (browser grabs, other paths)

Seriously, this feels like an entirely tractable path to work on, and close off.

(not that Visa/Mastercard couldn't have shut down the CC scams going on either)
Because your service neither could handle a million concurrent users tomorrow nor a power outage. Those probably aren't your requirements, but they are for most companies.

I'm saying it's silly to say that it's the law is the reflection of the will of the people with regards to new residence when they have had no say in crafting the law.
> Apple no longer needs another Steve Jobs at the throne...

Much as I respect Steve Jobs’ innovations, I tend to agree. As others have pointed out (though I can’t remember who or where), the iPad and iPhone marked an end point in several decades of advances in personal computing. A thin flat tablet that you operate with one finger! And it listens and talks and sees!

Whenever I have read people lamenting the lack of similar revolutionary advances under Tim Cook—and I have lamented that lack myself—I have wondered what exactly those advances might be. While something may be lurking ahead in the AI/health/direct-brain-interface space, I don't blame Cook for not having taken us there yet.
What about the latency? The online jamming software, such as Jamulus or SonoBus work hard on reducing this factor. But this is very specific for online rehearsals. If that would be achievable through WebRTC would be awesome!
No, it really doesn't. SF tried that with neighborhood commissions. It turns out that higher density housing is hideous to existing residents, regardless of the shell it's in.
Number of quanta is observable. You can count photons.

OTOH it does not imply that a photon is a "particle" in the same sense a breadcrumb is, with a well-defined diameter, shape, or borders. It is a portion of energy of electromagnetic field that was sufficient to yank an election from a photo element's crystallic grid.
Sure, their return policy is good if you bought an item and later decided it doesn't suit your needs - that's an issue that's often entirely your own fault, and they're happy to refund you in the hopes of keeping a customer. That's usually going to be a win-win.

But if you've been sold an item under false pretenses, their return policy isn't a "policy", it's a legal requirement. I'm not charitable enough to use the terms "pretty good" to describe any process where step 1 is defrauding the customer.

Amazon sell counterfeit items but want to avoid the legal responsibility of doing so.
> like using 2 cheaper through hole diodes in parallel instead of one a cent more expensive

Well, technically, once the first one burned out he still had a spare ;)

You should have insisted on current limiting resistors in series :)

On another note, I can see a small business in selling matched pairs of diodes...

Old story on the internet with cats turning off computers/laptops rubbing them, people generally blame static -

(1964) A Post Office expert called to investigate TV interference in Derby found the trouble came from a house where an elderly woman was building up static electricity — by stroking her cat. https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/107507113

But if the cat really isn't touching it then I'm dubious. I can't see how static electricity could turn off a computer from a foot away.
Full functionality requires both lane keep assist for steering and active cruise control for gas/brake. It uses data from car systems, but the model is closed so I'm not quite sure how the data is used.

The website does list what cars are officially supported. People have gone a lot further to get it on older cars, make unofficial forks, or even add radar or swap EPS.

It doesn't give you a self driving car, but I found it's significantly better than stock systems for highway driving.
I've often wondered why Sun never made .JAR files an executable format like .sh, .bat, .tcl, .py, .doc, etc. It seems like a good way to reduce friction in binary distribution and get a lot more users of the language.

Can anyone share the reasons?
They want all the benefits but no responsibilities. Their contracts and terms are written with that explicit aim. There's no obvious way to fight it either. People end up getting used to it...

> Over the years, I’ve received two counterfeit books and three counterfeit hardgoods from Amazon.

What I've been ALWAYS wondering when people say such things:

Did you seriously get them when buying from Amazon itself as vendor or are you conveniently leaving out the fact that you bought from some random company which uses the Amazon marketplace?

Because I really cannot believe that something as big as Amazon would be dumb enough to sell counterfeit goods under their own name, and people usually don't mention if they bought from Amazon or not when they say such things.
What we really need is always available mass transit, sits idle when no one is there but available at rapid speeds when needed
I think the question was more about what do you optimize autoplay on if you are worried about ethics.

Convexity trumps understanding.

Method: Randomize exposure to autoplay, associate with other user data.

Now you just have to decide what labels you want to optimize for. Do you value clicks? Complexity of linguistic output? Calories burned? Rate of visitation to white supremicist websites?

All the other data (including autoplay) are festures.
It depends a bit on the person and word, but for most technical terms I'd say it's quite close to the English (other loanwords: a bit less so; my favourite example is "halve zool" ("half sole") which is a way to call someone a fool or idiot; which is adapted from the Britsh "arsehole").

> We all know how Dutch people like to pronounce their Gs :)

This depends on the regional accent; the south (and Belgium) has a "soft G", whereas the north (including Amsterdam, for example) has a "hard G".

This is a nice video on the topic with some examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNOebbyUgI4

The "R" is also less hard in southern Dutch. Basically, it sounds a bit more like French rather than Klingon :-)
One of the links is to Google’s Sight Reliability Workbook (https://sre.google/workbook/table-of-contents/). At my last company, we implemented SLOs based on the advice in this workbook, and I thought it was an excellent approach. Having internal reliability targets that directly map to the meaningful parts of the customer experience, and setting up dashboards and alerts based on these targets, is a very powerful approach to achieving reliability that matters for users.

A great doc from Google that they didn’t link to above is “My Philosophy on Alerting”, by Rob Ewaschuk (https://docs.google.com/document/d/199PqyG3UsyXlwieHaqbGiWVa...). A must read for anyone setting up alerts IMO.
Virtually all telephony in Australia is now GSM/VoLTE or VOIP. If you try to take a classic copper landline service, you're heading to VOIP in almost any city, due to the NBN.

That would account for the bandwidth caps: its QAM layed over digitally wave-formed audio, put into IP packets.
Indeed. The comments section shows the history; the author mindlessly corrected a non-error into an error. This looked like a decent summary at a glance but that issue is definitely distracting.
If you're a hardcore mac user, I would agree, and even then if you like using trackpads in general. I switch between mac and linux all the time, plus I found using even the MBP 15"'s massive trackpad annoying to use for all-day work, so the MX Master was among the best investments I could've made.
Gubkin was a very good school back in USSR times because the packed a lot of the “undesirables” who were undesirable for being too good at math and physics off there
Wasn't there an app to remove those?

Also, I just stopped buying from Amazon a couple of years back. Only purchase in my history for the past 3 years is an Apple charger since when I changed from Android to iOS they didn't deliver them with the device anymore and Amazon had the cheapest price from the actual Apple distributor (no re-distributor).

This is a beautiful little language. Have you looked at Zig? Similar aim.
This attitude comes from a place of privilege. You can afford a brand-name coffee maker, many can't.

If you look at the median Westerner, most don't have that kind of disposable income to afford those kinds of goods. Amazon offers a cheaper (commodity) price, which drives overall increase in sales.

Amazon is going after Walmart, the lower-end market at the cost of loosing parts of the niche higher-end market.
They even buried it in the conclusion, after a few thousand words & charts designed to give the opposite impression:

> these still aren’t machines made for deep learning. Don’t get me wrong, you can use the MBP for any basic deep learning tasks, but there are better machines in the same price range if you’ll do deep learning daily.

> For a 50-entry timeline, the latency is usually less than 25 milliseconds.

There are a lot of good ideas which don't scale down to a smaller single-core system.

For example, there's a CROSS JOIN in that example, which is just fine at the row-counts we might encounter on sqlite.

The general low-scale workloads + the in-process operation (the SQL query is a function call, not RPC), means that sqlite can avoid needing the complex query to compress the user intent into a single round-trip.

This doesn't apply in general & the article doesn't claim to do so.

In the past, I've had production systems which are blocked on mysql_parse() rather than the actual disk IO (anyone remember the mysql Drizzle client side optimizations & the Dynamic SQL extensions?).

The simplicity of 1+N is basically a "simple enough and it always works", plus in a few case we can actually use a different projection for the N queries.

As a side note to Fossil, I've gone spelunking into the SVN repos with sqlite (there's a .db inside your .svn/ if you still use it) & what you'd end up using is a lot of 1+N queries (ACTUAL_NODE).
I can't stop laughing at this image. I keep telling myself it can't be real but it is.

What I most miss from nullboard is a self-hosted-absurdly-small-single-file PHP backend which adds SQLite support. I can't (== don't want to) rely on LocalStorage.

Amazon.com and marketplace inventory commingle. Pickers don’t care which box seemingly identical products come from.
That’s the kind of faux-skepticism that leads to Qanon, pizzagate, and broad xenophobia. “Oh China must be doing this stuff, I mean we can’t produce a shred of evidence but foreigners == bad so that’s proof enough for me”
Less powerful computers, so they would spend more time to find the same amount, I guess
Only a tiny portion of companies ever reach a million concurrent users tomorrow, nor have plans to reach them, having enough to pay the bills is already quite good.

A power outage can be dealt just like in the old days with a UPS unit.
I tried setting it up a few times and gave up after having to swap hard drives twice for BIOS to load (?!). Maybe I will try again after reading these. Thanks! I also ran FreeBSD for some time but I couldn't get graphics to work right on my OPTIMUS laptop.
Is it just me or do I keep seeing this 'SRE' stuff being hyped up as the next big thing everywhere on Twitter/HN/Reddit etc, just because Google invented it and now everyone wants to behave as if they have Google's problems.

I am genuinely curious why this is the case, am I missing something here?

Even my local grocer's website somehow needs Kubernetes skills all of a sudden, not kidding at all.
How does the same origin policy for LocalStorage work for file:// pages? Can each file read from everything that is on file:// ?
Bounds Checking in C
If it's an "expensive" product, you ask people to buy your product and have them send it back to you for a reward. If it's cheap, the reviewer can keep the item in exchange for a desirable review. The sample rate is irrelevant.. you just need enough reviews to out rank your competitors.

I'm not in the industry but I'm willing to bet there are flourishing communities that participate in this type of trade. And it's as sophisticated as it needs to be to get around Amazons countermeasures.

How else are we seeing so many corrupt reviews? Not like Amazon is just passively watching this happen. This is a huge issue for them since it's a bad user experience and Jeff Bezos is obsessed with satisfying customers.
As someone who's not a fan of most of Tech's trends over the last sixteen years: good. Let's go back to lightweight, information-rich, performant interfaces.
