I'm on your side. I love the low travel and the clickiness. I don't like how easily it breaks, and I don't like the Touch Bar, but I actually really like typing on the butterfly keyboard itself (I'm typing this on one), I find I'm very fast and accurate and it feels quick and clean.

What's the risk of that? Never heard of that happening to anyone in my experience of living my whole life the USA with single faucet sinks.
I noticed that on the 12” macbook when it started to get warm. If the keyboard was cool it never happened. But once it was under load keys started getting all janky.
Are you sure?

If I write “A” is it possible that “B” arrives?

Or are you talking about censorship, so if “A” is unlawful, then it does not arrive at all?
I'm not too familiar with Discord. Does it have a published protocol behind it? That is the missed opportunity there IMHO.
Some password managers will type the username/password into the browser (through a virtual keyboard I think), not copy-paste them to protect against clipboard attacks. Eg. Keepasssc
I don't know what you mean by "physical legal contract", but yes, you need a license of some sort. That can be embedded on the Blockchain though, e.g. see:

https://feralfile.com/docs/artist-collector-rights

The NFT allows the art to have proven provenance, scarcity, transferability, composibility with DeFi projects (e.g. it can be fractionalized, insured, borrowed against, staked, etc., all on-chain). If you don't see value in that, I don't think you're looking very deeply at it.

And what about Slack, Zoom or Coinbase?

Are they $27B, $100B and $100B worth of software?

What company is $x billions of dollars worth of software where x is their valuation? Even Google almost certainly isn't $1.3T (!) worth of software.

AMC had previous filed to make those sales, btw, before the Reddit push. Wonderful timing.

GMC had not, and was in a quiet period. Not so great timing.
They do Bluetooth, which by proxy gives location access, block VPNs and ban your accounts if you ever try to sign in with one or anonymisers, require a phone number non-VOIP, collect virtually every interaction way past what normal analytics would do and send them via the same or a similar route to prevent route-based adblock.

Desktop client also continually scans running processes.

Very aggressive client fingerprinting.

> though I found it a bit fishy why he couldn’t get another job

What line of work was he in? If he lost his job during the pandemic, is it possible there simply were very few jobs available that he was qualified for?
This makes me uncomfortable, but also very intrigued. Something about the visuals "tickles the brain" but not in any particular way I can reason about. Cool!
Probably somewhere around $200,000/year as a high water mark. That works out to the average cost of maintaining one person, plus 2x the average household income, which seems like a good proxy for the fully-loaded cost of maintaining a full-time staff member and associated infrastructure. Economies of scale suggest to me that at scale it should be possible to support a ratio of staff:inmates that is less than 1:1.

> conflating the two theories (malicious artificial virus versus leak of natural virus)

I have certainly been puzzled by this, for example in a Washington Post article. By conflating the two, lab escape became a "fringe conspiracy theory" rather than a hypothesis that should be investigated.

It seemed like sloppy journalism at best.
> At least there should be a checkbox for "make a best guess when limited results" / "give me my exact search query" (maybe there is somewhere & I've missed this)

There is, one of the drop-downs gives you the option of "all results" or "verbatim".

It doesn't actually work, of course.
Nope. Short sellers are the white knights of the market. They take on incredibly difficult and dangerous trades, and keep market prices honest. Without them the market would be nothing but a lair full of pump and dump longs, like a certain Reddit forum we all know.

And I haven’t seen any evidence Melvin did anything unethical either. They got too deep into their position and paid a huge price for it. It’s about time Redditers stopped taking victory laps over Melvins mangled body.
One question though. Tools to work fully remote have been around for at least 20 years now. Want to work from Montana in 2001? Webex, messengers, version control, DSL internet, everything has been there for decades. We also have precedents of major projects (say, open source) shipped by distributed teams since that long, too. Yet, pre-Covid very, very few companies have actually figured out remote. Why? Is it because companies are slow and stupid? Google doesn't seem stupid. Why have they been paying $500k comp in the Bay Area all this time when Tennessee or India were right there all along? Maybe they took special pleasure in pointlessly overpaying and abusing their employees, as you call it?

>The gist: I'm basically applying encapsulation to circuitry, so that gadgets, in this case a Linux-running computer, can be built in a quick, mix-and-match style. Fast hardware prototyping becomes significantly easier, so that effort can be concentrated on the software development. For example, on the page linked below, I put a few demos such as a rapidly implemented automatic plant-watering device.

This is obsolete in the grand scheme of a war. The future is swarm of drones. Imagine a future tomahawk going at full x 20+ speed of sound and exploding over Beijing releasing 10 thousands drones, each capable of like 10 minutes of flying, but enough to search for high valuable targets and kaboom! the entire China's communist rulers dead. Win the war before it's starting.
My recollection is it was caused by Vitamin E being added to increase the potency.
- The vaccine is mainly funded by Oxford University and AstraZeneca (AZ) . The UK Government also provided £65.5m.

- Most of the AZ vaccine for the UK is being made in the UK. AZ have said none of their vaccines have been sent from the EU to the UK.

- AstraZeneca said its agreement with the EU allowed the option of supplying Europe from UK sites, but only once the UK had sufficient supplies (due to the contract the UK negotiated) .

- A drop in confidence in the AZ vaccine means there are lots of unused vaccines. France and Germany have used only about half of the AstraZeneca jabs they have received, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).

- 10 million Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines have been exported from the EU to the UK.

I haven't read the article to the end, but many of the "footguns" the author talks about could be avoided by simply reading this document: https://golang.org/doc/effective_go . It's pretty old already, but still valid, and emphasizes some of the ways Go is different from other languages. So more or less exactly what this article is doing...
Thanks for the kind words. I made it for fun during a compiler course held by professor Christian Schulte at the Royal Institute of Technology here in Sweden.
My original plan was to make similar visualizations for all the different algorithms in Christian's compiler course, but tragically he passed away recently.

Christian is the main designer and developer of many great open source projects, including Unison, Gecode and Mozart. https://chschulte.github.io/software.html

R.I.P. Christian, you were an amazing professor and person. I miss you.
The FAANG interview is hard dude. I feel like I could maybe get in if I took a 6 month study break for it which is totally unrealistic. I tried a few times at the top 10 companies (except ones I consider immoral) and even got pretty far at some (onsites that went decently) but I'm pretty happy at medium sized later stage startups doing my 9-5. It's not like working for the highest market cap company in the US is going to give your life any more meaning.
Caps Lock as ESC on short presses and Cmd+Opt+Ctrl+Shift (Meta key) on long presses has opened up a lot of shortcuts on IDEs and OS for me.

> What you're left with is something you don't understand. That's often been a precursor to real breakthroughs.

Sometimes. Often, what you’re left with is unusable experimental results because you don’t have a clue. The proper way to resolve that is what they did with faster-than-light neutrinos: ask for collaboration with other labs and try to replicate the result. This whole thing is not science, it’s cargo-culting the way science is described in pop culture.
This seems to be getting out of hand, but unfortunately the accurate analogue representation is even more complicated.

The country/world leaders are probably still thinking in analogue terms, so it might be important to find an accurate representation.

They might also be disincentivized to change anything, so it might also be a fool’s errand.
They are keeping some as a reserve to deliver the second dose according to the recommended regimen since they cannot rely on the manufacturer sticking to the negotiated shipment rates.
I've found that it's surprisingly insensitive to the amount of regularization applied, however it definitely does warrant further experimentation. Also, I expect that one other distinction vs. image data is much higher correlation between samples in the dataset.
Care to elaborate? I felt strongly the opposite. It makes me more eager to move away from SQLite. I'm very far from religious, and this seems to be very strongly suggesting atheism is synonymous with immorality.
Extorted? If you didn't like his rate, just hire someone else. Or do the coding yourself.
Could you expand on how it's better? Genuinely curious. I love Slack and tried Discord but found the UI pretty clunky, and the lack of threads annoying, but didn't probe it much further so I'm wondering if I'm missing something...
Discord nailed reliability, quality, and usability. Its tech is still not worth $10B, though, even if the tech needs to be as good as it is to keep attracting users.

Tangential: I really do fear for them if they get acquired, though. Their tech is built on the actor model, which almost nobody else uses or understands enough to build on. It feels like it's likely that if they merge with Microsoft they'll get rebuilt internally (probably to use Azure) or have their infrastructure replaced with Teams' infrastructure.
Ask HN: Have you scanned your Docker images for vulnerabilies?
I'm a new developer, I'm mostly building and experimenting with my own things. I saw a post here a few months back about vulnerabilities in Docker images. For a while now, I've been dealing with memory problems using WSL - it eats up all of my memory, it's seemingly a common issue that's being tracked here:

https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4166

But it got me thinking - is this actually Docker running on WSL? I've had problems with Redis image just refusing to shut down - no matter how many times I call Docker compose down. Every day I would have to restart WSl just to gain some memory / performance back. Recently the windows Docker app asked me to scan my images using Snyk - a third party tool. I did that, and every single one of my images - including redis and postgres - came back with +60 critical / high severity vulnerabilities. My own images came back with hundreds of vulnerabilities. As soon as I've deleted those docker images the issues with memory hogging have basically gone.

Has anyone else done this? Is Docker actually secure? Security/deployment considerations are generally above my head - I've been thinking about dropping back to SQLite and Supervisord just so I really 'know' what I'm deploying/using. I'm interested to hear from others if they've faced similar issues with standard Docker images?
Discord was never private, I don't know how you got the impression is? Everything you ever write or do is on permanent record and has been from the start..
Of course not. You could not take the goods from China, and want to make them take the responsibility of investigation just like re-education camps in Xinjiang. Although there are some people or photos pointing out the issues.

It's lack of motivation for us to boycott the China. They are too far away from our live. We may take it serious until the nuclear submarine appearing offshore.

We don't know the New Appeasement would come out with real peace or WWIII. The deaths caused by CoVid are already more than the number of American killed in WWII.

The discussion is good, but we are not ready to face the issues come up with China. It's helpful for the labs in other countries to have new SOP. However, the problem is still there.

It would be cool if videos like these can be generated in realtime to replace music visualizers like waveform or spectrograms. Even if it has no utility as a real visualizer, it is still nice to watch!
Pandemic or not, telling your boss "I'm miserable here at Evilcorp and looking to leave" is not usually considered a good career move.

I expect it's almost impossible to get honest feedback from someone you can fire at will, as most companies and bosses can.
Thanks for the namecalling.

I use PGP quite often. And I know how hard it is and how much it lacks.

But I'm no 'privacy nut'.

A legitimate easy and underused option is how kraken employs it. I've uploaded my public key. They now send all transactional, security and other mail signed and encrypted.
This is a solid solution to phishing.

The only part 'missing' is how I get my pub key on my kraken account. For me it was an export+copy+paste. But it should probably as easy as an OAUTH alike flow between kraken and my mailprovider. 'Kraken wants to import your public key to sign and encrypt it's emails to you'. An UI thing.

About the only time one sees it these days is if someone is trying to match capacitance of a second fet for charge cancellation purposes. It's not a particularly area efficient way to make a capacitor in modern processes.
Fair enough, but does that investment value ultimately derive from the demand from people who do enjoy looking at the art? I would expect so, otherwise it's just a kind of collective delusion. (I haven't watched the episode, perhaps they tackle this question.)
Complexity of software is not necessarily the only important dimension of determining value.

The game industry is larger than both music and movies combined. Discord is behind almost every gaming community I've run into the last five years, from Eve Online to Valheim and Smash Bros. Looking for a Discord community is one of the first things I do when playing a new multiplayer game. Same with hundreds of millions of other gamers. You can't program your way into that kind of market adoption.
I have been working professionally for 3+ years in a single company. I've been lucky to have got this job without a test nor interview ( I was an intern there, and they offered me the job before my intern period was up). Recently, I feel bored there and tried to apply to another company. Currently, I am in the last stage of the test and it seems I will be able to pass it. But, I feel nervous to actually change my job, because this will be my first time changing workplace, and I don't know if I will actually be accepted there (there is a probation period of 3 months).
Reading this thread makes me re-realize that changing jobs was not an unusual thing. Thank you for sharing this.
1. be independent when reading code: read the code to figure out what it's doing before asking questions. A new engineer who can say : "oh yes, I've seen where that happens" is a lot more useful than an engineer who needs hand holding.

2. don't be independent when writing code: don't go into development mode and start creating a lisp compiler in the project without telling anyone. Check that what you're building is ok with others.

3. copycat the style: you need to adapt to the style of the company you're joining. Whether it's variable naming, or the way they do unit tests, it's great that from your first commit you show that you'll blend in.

4. don't mention the way you used to do things. It's _very_ tempting to complain about things that the new company does less well than the old one. Do not do it, or only when asked.
Not quite. WSL2 dynamically uses resources as needed (`vmmem`), whereas a traditional VM requires allocating a fixed amount of RAM and CPU from the host machine.
"I still cannot fathom why people think buying a certificate of authenticity authenticated by nobody, whose supply can be arbitrarily increased by the seller at any time, is an interesting exercise."

This is what I was responding to. Here is a photograph by Andy Warhol for $95,000:

https://www.artsy.net/artwork/andy-warhol-marisa-berenson-an...

The website states that:

Signature: Stamped by artist's estate, Stamped on the verso by the Estate of the Artist and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Foundation …
Certificate of authenticity: Included

What is to prevent the artist (other than the fact this one is dead) from "arbitrarily increasing" supply, other than the fact that he has committed not to?

Let's compare this with a unique audiovisual NFT: http://deafbeef.com

Here, you have a work limited to 128 pieces, which the artist has committed to cap the series at. The work can be authenticated as an original based on the blockchain, and the NFT proves the provenance.

The crowd here may intuitively dislike NFTs, but it's arguments are trivially applicable to may other kinds of traditional art.
pretty overstated title but i guess it did catch my attention so there's that. anyways it is a nice thorough writeup of things that are different about golang. don't think they are particularly "darker" or bad or anything like that.
"duct-taping"

Yes, and no. If we break down by time horizon, this is the feasible limit: solving constraints and at-risk problems for operations planners; solving relaxed instances of future scenarios to provide guidance to mission planners given partially observed opponent behavior; and engagement level models. Only the last level is really something you can generate / extract training data for, and at vast effort. We've been modelling air combat for 40 years or more and it's still difficult for larger scenarios. We really have only a nascent concept of how to employ unmanned jets.
The people who work at these institutions were often educated in the best universities in the country. And yet they speak in lockstep fashion in this "sloppy" manner. I think you give them too much credit.
If you think of your brain as a predictive machine that makes models of the world around it, then “first person perspective” is your brain’s model of itself in the world.
It started with just noise, but a bit later there was actual music which was very impressive if indeed synthesized out of 'nothing' by a neural network. Chord progression which was something like I-V-IV-vi, a simple melody based on the same progression, a simple baseline...
Yeah, what I'm saying is that companies are valuable or not based on their users (or what they earn) and not their software. Purchasing companies aren't paying X billion dollars for the code and assets. They are paying for the users. (Which, I also think is kind of obvious).
How the common cold can boot out Covid
Looks pretty good, as others have mentioned it's highly specialised. Seems to be a wrapper for a cli tool named MinIO.

One thing to improve it would be to link the MinIO project at the beginning. A simple hyperlink in the intro will do!
China is demonized not because of an accident (if it was one). Even if it's confirmed that a lab accident was the cause, China holds the blame for hiding the truth, telling the world it's all okay, and arresting people that dared to speak out (even causing their deaths). No matter what was the origin, China is responsible for the outbreak.

Btw, I don't think we can ever find out the truth. It's been over a year, and China has all the time to clean up and conceal every piece of evidence. The WHO scientific team's visit to Wuhan is no difference to investigating a murder scene a year after the event, with the murderer living in it all that time. Nothing but a joke.
I think most developers would be happy with a Thinkpad, if it meant they could use Docker without pulling their hair out.
Not sure what you’re quoting in italics there. But it’s certainly not my “personal definition of the term”, it’s the origin of the term [1]. The idea was to take progressive enhancement so far that a regular website can progressively become something app-like. Over time, people seem to have forgotten why we call them progressive, and think it just means they’re entitled to use every idea that someone in W3C’s Department of Feature Creep put their stamp of approval on.

I think accident happened. And it is fierce competition among scientists to get the SAR virus under control. Like things to remember recent case of a doctor bought some cell from mainland to hk for cosmetic operation, it just happened and if unchecked will happen again.
