A paper describing DSEE - an interesting distributed programming environment built on Domain/OS:

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.575....

Excerpts:

"DSEE is implemented as one program, with instances running at various nodes in the network."

On the history manager:

"DSEE can create a shell in which all programs executed in that shell window transparently read the exact version of an element requested in the user's configuration thread. The History Manager, Configuration Manager, and extensible streams mechanism (described above) work together in this way to provide a "time machine" that can place a user back in a environment that corresponds to a previous release. In this environment, users can print the version of a file used for a prior release, and can display a readonly copy of it. In addition, the compilers can use the "include" files as they were, and the source llne debugger can use old binaries and old sources during debug sessions. All of this is done without making copies of any of the elements."

On the configuration manager (sounds like system wide built artifact caching):

"The CM maintains a derived object pool which holds several version of each object that was produced as the result of building a component named In the system model (e.g., binaries). Each derived object in the pool is associated with the ECT used to build it. When asked to build, the CM determines a "desired" BCT by binding the system model to the versions requested by the user's current CT. The CM then looks in the derived object pool to see If there ls a BCT that exactly matches the one desired. If a match is found, the derived object associated with that BCT is used. Otherwise, the component is rebuilt In accordance with the desired BCT, and the new derived object and BCT are written to the pool. In all cases, the user is given exactly what he asked for."

Ask HN: Cheapest/easiest way to host a static site?
This is more of a thought experiment, I know a multitude of ways to do this which require loads of setup, jumping through AWS hoops, etc. I'd like ideally way to deploy to a hosted service with a single command. Imagine Heroku but even easier.
It sounds like it - and third-party companies will often show you flights that involve different companies on the different legs - which can leave you in a pickle because technically each airline's job is to get you to the end of THIER flight, not the entire journey.
I'm not sure I agree video is a terrible way to study a topic in depth, I've watched a lot of fantastic lectures and series of documentaries that cover a breadth of topics in depth. Happy to point you to a few if you've not experienced that, it's an awesome way to learn.

I don't suppose that the Bloomberg "Quicktake" video is supposed to be used to study the topic in depth, I would imagine they put it out to give one enough information to do your own research?
When I was younger and had more time, I loved the BSDs. FreeBSD seemed so coherent, I loved the ports collections etc. And FBSD had a reputation for good code. From 2000-2004 I ran FBSD exclusively on my servers. Then slowly, FBSD seemed to start to splinter. First Matt Dillon took off for DragonflyBSD and then I started using Linux more. When I needed a firewall, I chose OpenBSD because Theo seemed to have a tight (some would say too tight) grip on the project.

When FBSD integrated ZFS, I took a look and decided that while I love that file/storage system, FBSD itself had turned more into a lesser version of itself. Perhaps this was due to more pressure from Linux, and fewer developers/contributors.

This entire Wireguard debacle has pretty much turned me off ever using FBSD again. From the inclusion of Sendmail as the default MTA (really? over Postfix) to the lack of development control outlined in this article, I can't trust it.

Perhaps Theo's strategy was the better path.
Yes. At some point i encountered this trie with payloads (which would act as t he field values).
I try to read everything I can about the Anunnaki. As you can guess, 95% of it is utterly useless, but at least some bits can point me in an interesting direction, so I'll just mention two titles.

Last year I read The Anunnaki Connection: Sumerian Gods, Alien DNA, and the Fate of Humanity, and the author has a PhD next to her name, so she caught me off guard. It's not a bad book, she basically tries to make sense of it proposing her own theory (I don't want to spoil you the pleasure of finding out in case there are other Anunnaki (or panspermia in general) fans here). Unfortunately at some point she wrote we're using 10% of our brain which was a big letdown.

So I was very positively surprised by Reign of the Anunnaki by Jan Erik Sigdell. The guy uses proper references! It's invaluable in these kinds of books where you need to check almost every sentence because the authors have a tendency to colorize facts or sometimes simply fantasize or repeat gossip.
I think a verb-oriented word is more powerful at shaming than a noun-oriented word. I think Crap is a little too vulgar to appeal to most people, some might feel uncomfortable at work saying crap for Instance. But try it out!
Containers are 2 (20ft) or 4 (40ft) tonnes (roughly) unloaded.

And they can (if I remember right) contain 20 tonnes or so, of cargo.

Our current chinooks can handle 10 tonnes, and the old models could carry 4, if I recall.

And probably less in desert heat.

So helicopters will not be moving any containers
Lute harpsichord (alternative name for Lautenwerck) was brought to my attention via this recording by Gergely Sarkozy of Bach's BWV 997, the timbre of the instrument just goes so well with the music:

How do you “know the requirements around it” if you can’t code?

Imagine managing a team of diamond cutters and not being able to cut diamonds yourself... you would only recognize poorly cut diamonds after they had been cut and you would have no idea of how to help your team improve with specific recommendations and guidance.
The EU is not the rules based international order, it's a supranational entity.

The "rules based international order" is supposedly the body of international laws and customs as well as their enforcement internationally, and is what the US uses to justify their hegemony, placing them as the guarantor of this order - while themselves violently breaching it.

It's also called the "US-led international order" or the "liberal international order". Put simply, it's the US and its allies enforcing a set of rules internationally with violence or the threat of violence (or economic sanctions)

See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_international_order
The 'conspiracy' part of my conspiracy theory is not that they hired a security consultant, but that they explicitly guided him to the exact hardware[1] with the correct metric to detect it[2] asking him to test for a surprisingly accurate hypothetical[3], even going so far as to temporarily deny the suggestion of the person they're paying to do this work[4]. This is weirdly specific assuming they had no knowledge of the compromise.

Of course, I have no non-circumstantial evidence and this could all be a coincidence, which is why my comment is prefixed with "conspiracy theory".

1: "However, he asked me to first look at their cluster of reverse gateways / load balancers"

2: Would have likely been less likely to find the issue with active analysis given the self destruct feature

3: "Specifically he wanted to know if I could develop a methodology for testing if an attacker has gained access to the gateways and is trying to access PII"

4: "I couldn't SSH into the host (no SSH), so I figured we will have to add some kind of instrumentation to the GO app. Klaus still insisted I start by looking at the traffic before (red) and after the GW (green)"
Ignoring robots.txt is trivial, that's why some(many?) sites enforce it by verifying source IP and recognize Googlebot from its IP addresses - how will you get access to one of those?
I also noticed that vegetables don't keep long in our fridge. I think one reason is they get stacked on top of each other and through the pressure they get damaged. And that's how they get moldy quickly.
I agree with this up to a point. It’s been valuable to me as an IC, and I feel it’s a value I provide when the problem is so hard there isn’t a clear solution.

It’s nice to be able to say, “what do you think I should do?” as an IC, and nice to be able to analyze the problem if necessary as a manager.

On the other hand if nobody knows what to do with a hard problem, everyone gets stressed out about it.
This is not really about Google.

Websites block crawlers because they get abused / crashed by Crawlers. In the early days (2000-2010) Google not only got banned by some websites, it even got DNS-banned for abusing some DNS domains. You see, Google already has already built the "megacrawlers" described in this article, it can melt any website on the Internet, even Facebook - the largest, and they paid a high price for letting the early Google crawlers run free.

Google today has a rate-limit for every single website and DNS sub-domain on the internet. For small websites the default is a handful of web pages every few seconds. Google has a very slow (days) algorithm to increase its crawl rate, and a very fast (1d) algorithm to cut the rate limit if it's getting any of the errors likely due to website overload.

To summarize, Google has several layers of congestion control custom-designed into the crawl application. Most small web crawlers have zero.

None of these other crawlers have figured this out, so they abuse websites, causing all small-scale crawlers to get banned.

Mostly Microsoft, Google, and Facebook. Amazon is far more likely to partner with a company than clone it’s products. Apple acquires mostly smaller companies, often things you’ve never heard of.

Also worth noting, many of these smaller companies plan on getting acquired. That is their cash-out. In particular the ones which accept VC money are under tremendous pressure to cash out in one of these deals.

I also would prefer companies stuck it out, but there are huge risks if you stick it out and massive payoffs you get from a buyout, it’s rarely in the founder’s best interest.

Yes.

The v1 isn't the hard part of building a competitor to Twitter. The hard part is scaling the user base, getting funding to keep the site running and being able to grow it.
When it was built, the notion that the land around it wouldn't be a colonial possession seemed unlikely.
This isn't really what this is. "Embrace, extend, extinguish" is the idea that Microsoft would embrace open standards just enough to add their own proprietary extensions, then once theirs is the dominant platform, drop the remaining open support and kill the competitor.

This is just...buying a company.
Denmark, the Netherlands, France, and Germany are also all well equipped for this sort of thing and are as close of allies as you can get outside Five Eyes (DK/NL especially).

The Dutch were the ones who originally warned of interference in the 2016 election IIRC and had access to Cozy Bear for a while before that.
The J-20 copied the F-35. Now the international marxists are trying to junk it with their bought and paid for media.

Bold move.

A few dirty secrets about war. Really powerful people do start them over petty arguments at home. They loose power, and then make life as worst as possible for everyone until they are back in power. Some have a heart and things just gets out of hand. Some view other people's lives like poachers view deer in the wild or oil from a well. Mine it till it runs dry, move on. They are convinced of their immortality. Part of me sometimes question my doubt, like if they have some state secret medicine.

A cockpit is not a pretty place to be. It kills you just the same as anything. Fumes, oil, vomit, sunlight, stressful long hours. Replace it with drones all you want. People will find out what really kills drone operators too, and it will probably be generational. Increasing the knowledge requirements so you only study, don't have a family, and your city is filled with junkies. Sap them across decades and centuries.

War is killing first. How you do it comes next. Cold calculated killing, weaponizing everything we know.

It's best to avoid it. And if you think about what provokes, and what soothes violent people. Materialism and moral license, with their drunkenness, boredom, search for meaning tend to provoke. It's then you have the street fights. Lofty moral standards, such as I just built a gravity application with the new black hole imagining data, something that will kill everything EVER, tends to calm things down, mystify and give them something to achieve.

Knowing how to implement a hash table in C doesn't strike me as something you can "forget". If you know how to write C and you know how a hash table works, what is there to forget?
Is it legal for a government entity to issue a robots.txt like that? Maybe the line between use and abuse hasn't been delinated as well as it needs to be.

I'm a manager of people and compensation is one of my levers (not my only) for both rewarding high quality work and retention. While on the surface role-oriented firm salaries seem like a noble idea, it results in a mess. I have a bunch of people who work for me who aren't ready for a title oriented promotion, and may not even be ready to level up, but are doing exemplary work within their band- why shouldn't I be allowed to financially reward them for their work?

An integer constant expression is a syntactical construct, not a runtime entity. The C standard provides no guarantee that bytes (chars) with value zero can be read from memory as a null pointer.
This is probably an intentional story.

The spooks reached out to reporters with approval.

I find it is unlikely information as sensitive as means and methods, with no seaming whistleblower spying on the people type motivation, would be disclosed by leakers without approval.

Strategic leaks like this are done all the time.

Though I guess there is precedent of releasing post-mortem facts like in the charges of the alleged vault 7 leaker.
I'm not familiar with that game, but the point of using Factorio is it is a game where you have to build complex systems and maintain them, which has many parallels with real-world software engineering. "Throne of Lies" doesn't look like that kind of game.
In my opinion, the right decision is to release your research and have the vulnerabilities patched. I'm not a fan of the argument "only we know the bug" "it's for counterterrorism, seriously"... because I'm doubtful. If you found the bug, odds are someone else given the effort could.

Secondly, I think it's fair to say governments absolutely abuse any vulnerability they can at any point in time.
Which is fine because H1Bs shouldn't be used for most positions. If something actually requires an H1B candidate then you use a different process.
I think you mean "non-first-world" countries as it's relatively common in all poor countries (or countries that are "rich" but have huge poor populations with only the 0.1% having all the wealth) not just islamic countries.
This is a bit off-topic here, but can anyone recommend some good programs / workflows for programmatic image generation / manipulation?

I have some geospatial boundary data that I'd like to extrude to a 3d object, apply textures to the faces, and save images of the object at different perspectives. I have several hundred to do, so it'd be ideal to automate this.

Something like Gimp PyDev or ImageMagick seem like they could sort of work, but the math around creating a 3D extrusion in either of those seems difficult. On the other hand something like Blender seems like kind of overkill maybe.

It might end up being one of those solutions, just curious if anyone has any other ideas.

The EU isn't about international rules - members of the EU don't care at all about international rules. It's simply a covenant between countries that can be willingly entered and left.

The "rules based international order", on the other hand, is not voluntary. If the US decides that you are in breach, then it will be rectified with hard power. It's simply an abstraction for hegemony, and you don't get a choice to parcipate or not, the choice is made for you by the hegemon (which also happens to be its enforcer).
Dropbox as well, they're not doing too bad either with a market cap of $11bn. That's quite impressive considering pretty much everybody has developed a competing service, and they must have known that would be inevitable.
They might. But it could easily take a few years, during which time they'll very likely be a mediocre to poor manager.

Expecting someone with five years of engineering experience to become an effective manager overnight - often with no training or mentorship at all - makes as much sense as expecting an intern to operate at the same level as a senior on Day 1.

Even really smart people with multiple talents need more of a warm up than that. And most people are neither that smart nor that talented.
Who considers Go to have a good type system?
Is that always true? It depends whether or not you think of the hash as a property of the hashtable, or a property of the key itself. e.g. you may have string objects that store their hash values internally - a useful optimisation if you are dealing with lots of long read-only strings, given that the hash function will have a cost of at least O(n) for the string length. Inserting a string into a hashtable wouldn't change its hash (what if the string is inserted into two tables of different sizes?)
Good question, I do not know. Your wiki link doesn't list Iowa, but I don't know if it is because Iowa is somehow different, or if just they editors didn't know.

I don't know how things look from microsoft's point of view, but I see lots of "nice to have" aspects of being in charge of one of the popular social platforms.

Lots of people cut their programmatic teeth building simple things that interact with these platforms. It would be nice for Microsoft if every teenager building a bot to play fart noises on discord does so on Azure™ building with Microsoft Visual Studio Code™. The fact that AWS has been the standard "go to" place for people to get cloud servers up and running has been nice for them.

Also, it creates opportunities for these "cool" companies to write technical blog posts for your stuff. I think Discord has helped Elixir rise in popularity - I'm sure Microsoft would like to see something like their "how Discord scaled to 5m concurrent users" for C# (or whatever stack they want to promote).

Now, I have no idea how big a deal this would be. I really doubt it's a $10b big deal. I agree that "the community" isn't a reliable factor. If anything, I think this purchase puts the community at risk. People like that Discord is a small company that needs to care about how good its servers are. If they suddenly are owned by a giant company that might care less, people might look around for alternatives.
A lot of politics go into deciding what gets adopted, which leads to some very questionable aircraft getting adopted in large numbers. The F-104 was effectively forced onto a lot of European countries (particularly Germany) and mostly succeeded in killing lots of pilots.
I have seen sites behave differently if you use a Googlebot UA, but am I missing something or does this merely mean that anyone doing something like this

will get Google-level crawler access?
You just blew an undercover international federal investigation on terrorism. I would say that's a bad idea.

Sometimes website admins will also try to report your ips to the service provider as a source of attacks (even if not true).
> On the other hand if nobody knows what to do with a hard problem, everyone gets stressed out about it.

Those are the problems that it's the developer's job to figure out, in my opinion. If the manager can figure out the problem and solution but the developer cannot, then the dynamic is backwards (or the manager is actually a dev/tech lead, not a project/product manager). Or it's a totally different team structure than I'm used to.
This is absolutely brain dead. If you have to go through a touch screen to put the car in park you will have bad accidents. Additionally I doubt that an automatic selection no matter how smart of an AI can correctly read my mind.

I, on multiple occasions had to quickly put a car in park or neutral (plus hand break) in order to quickly exit and not have it run over someone.

If you want to add automation fine. But leave a stalk or physical override of some sort.

As someone who has been managing people a long time I can confirm they are useless. Company goals always supercede anything an individual wants. A lot of time, personal goals are things like upskilling or refactoring that are laudable but cost money that no one can guarantee will be available. As a manager I want my team to accomplish their goals but setting as a basis for advancement is the wrong approach. Your true goal is always "get all your work done and don't piss everyone off".
