> libraries can be created and not need constant breaking updates.

Yeah, but I've been traumatized by the Javascript ecosystem where a library can end up abandoned any day without warning.

> As an Elixir developer, I never go to Awesome Elixir to search for libraries.

I needed a full implementation of the iCalendar RFC (including recurrence rules), this is a solved problem in Go, Python and Javascript, but not in Elixir.

And I didn't want to spend weeks on partially implementing that huge RFC.

I ended up using Rambo[1] and an external binary in Go that I ship with my release in a Docker image.

I set up a build system based on Makefiles to build everything properly, and compile-time configuration per environment to locate the binary.

There is a lot of very complex, and very real human psychology and sociology at play in those decisions. A lot of it centers around who accrues the benefits of a given energy source, vs. who pays the consequences.
It’s just too easy to pirate everything. I had a billing dispute with Comcast over a decade ago and all they get from me now is money for internet.
"Mastery" as described seems to be how to use your browser or app to perform this, without actually understanding it. It is not necessary to understand in detail the crypto underpinnings - that is WAAAY beyond most folks (myself included) But if you need to understand the TLS actions, including HTTP2 details, this is NOT useful.
ChromeOS is probably the fastest (Linux based)
Crazy? A lot of them came true.
> BigCo will loan Jane $50M to buy an office building, and Jane will lease the building only to BigCo.

Jane is a corporate owner of [this particluar piece of] real estate, and is taxed at 8%.

> The contract provides that at any three year boundary or in the event of Jane's death, BigCo can direct Jane or her estate to sell the building to an entity of BigCo's choosing

Also (seperately from the previous bit), Jane doesn't actually own the building.
Thanks for that link. Tasty visions of things that could-have-been...
F1 TV has gotten more reliable as of late. Their website still sucks, but watching via the third-part app Race Control has worked really well for me.
No thank you kindly. I give up. This was 31 years ago and it was once-only issue. Who cares.

Remembered however that COM-files were the simple ones. EXE-headers were more complicated.

But quite obviously I made a program that read stuff from serial port. And once you had ZMODEM you could copy rest of standard MSDOS command set from anywhere. The machine was truly empty, the was only hardwired COMMAND.COM running.
Don't let past misuses of Cree culture by outsiders restrict their ability to use those paradigms as they see fit. Just because someone in Hollywood thought that smoke signals made a good trope for any movie involving first nations doesn't mean that smoke signals are inherently racist or offensive when used in an appropriate context.

Not if they were willing to do so regardless of the candidate's party or political agenda.

Nation is a word with two meanings. One is ‘country’ so the answer is yes (note that nation-state is a silly phrase under this meaning). You see it in terms like nationalisation of industry or national anthem. The other meaning is a group of people with (typically) shared ethnicity, cultural heritage, language, and often, country. For this a multiethnic country doesn’t usually fit the bill. But to some extent words can mean whatever you want them to and lots of groups want themselves to be considered nations (either to promote some unity across diverse people or to push out undesirable groups) even if they don’t strictly fit the usual definition.
Poor people will take the Macron coaches instead of the disbanded slower trains.

I had a chance to speak to Marino when he came to give a talk about bioethics at my PhD institution. He was a very smart man - but he made several mistakes.

For example - he made up a ridiculous story about being invited by the pope to attend a march in Philadelphia, which quickly got exposed as a lie. He was also completely unable to handle the local Roman political players / senior civil servants (who, granted, are hideously corrupt and have been running things for their own self dealings with left governments, center governments, far right governments, and 5 star governments (whatever they are)).
The external binary serves only one purpose (UNIX style), therefore its source code is almost 50 LOC.

This is not a problem.
‘Ozark’ Season 4: Here’s Everything You Need to Know
Now imagine an Android developer who wants to buy a new laptop and thinks they should be able to live with 4GBs of RAM for normal non-heavy usage. Then they remember they might want to use Android Studio as well. Then sky is the limit when it comes to RAM at least.
Of course, but that’s an inevitable use of this data, and is about the politician not the project.
Also why would a talented programmer or a true hacker want to work for FAANG. The pirate mentality of not working for a big box corpo seems to have faded.
It’s hard to say if personal tokens will take off or not, but I’m almost certain many more things will be turned into financial instruments in the future. Almost anything that can have provable (current term is “on-chain”) revenue (future or current) can be “tokenised” and sold, bought and speculated on. Our definitions of employee, employer, nature of work and contracts, our definitions of companies, shares and financial instruments are arbitrary - we are just used to them. They will change.

I can absolutely see a future where people work on (and own pieces) of many projects, revenue share is tied much closer to measurable value creation, and “tokenised” future cash flows in almost anything measurable and enforceable (ie. on-chain activity) have liquid markets from very early on.
Is this extension, or the function recommended by Codesleuth, a good solution for creating “diffs” that summarize how the values of a record have changed from time A to time B?

If you enjoy reading about this sort of stuff, then whatever floats your boat, but to be perfectly clear: these extra terms and additional scalar field were not part of Maxwell's theory. The theory of classical electrodynamics is gauge invariant, and in this theory this "magnetic scalar potential" derived from the divergence of the magnetic vector potential is not physically meaningful.

P.M. Jack is at least clear about this:

> [Maxwell's] work is fundamentally different from that presented here

Some of your less honest (or more confused or delusional) sources claim that this is some lost part of Maxwell's theory, likely to lend credence to their anti-gravity / free energy / faster-than-light / perpetual motion woo (discovered and kept secret by the CIA?).

(in case it appears I'm unreasonably dismissing this with these references to pseudoscience, I'm not - anti-gravity / free energy / faster-than-light / perpetual motion & the CIA are all discussed in the final researchgate link, not added by me for fun).
Here I am trying to read about satellite internet and you have to pollute the discussion with toxic partisan cliches and irrelevant divisive anecdotes.

I wish you’d quarantine yourself to social networks like Reddit where the discourses are already sufficiently poisoned.
I would use Telegraf (a better/distributed collector far more efficient than cacti, even if you have to learn the OIDs for the snmp devices you want to monitor, because not everything is snmp anyway), InfluxDB (a timeseries database better than rrd, is not the only alternative, but at least it works for me), and yes, Grafana.

The cron gives you low granularity (and for some things, it may matter to measure things that changes in less than a minute), and flexibility (both in what you can measure and how you can arrange and correlate the different pieces of information).
Yup! Or a Promise that never resolves (since it's async)
Slack, please read this. Thank you.
Security is not a replacement for a data breach insurance. Security is basic hygiene for insurance to work at all.

To me, a good parallel is home insurance. If you get robbed, a good insurance will cover your losses. However, if said insurance determines that you were negligent -- say you never lock your front door -- you are on your own.

Do you have precious art at home that you want insured? No problem. Just make sure you add an alarm and sprinklers.

That is how I want discussions around security to be held. Are you a start-up with 10 users? It's okay to do minimal security. Are you a bank whose wires carry $1B? Make sure you throw sufficient "bodies" at the problem, from the top of the hierarchy to bottom.
Read the Lean Startup, I think it is helpful for software entrepreneurs
The one thing that is consistent about tech is that prices come down.

A 3d printer in 2012 was $2000... a 3d printer that can be that printer is about $300 today.

A decent drone was about $3000 back there... $400 can you get you a decent drone today.
It’s only natural though, one way to play the salary game is to maximize your perceived involvement and truck factor, while reducing actual efforts needed, all while avoiding getting upsetting colleagues.

Workloads at full capacity, with stakes distributed precisely according to power structures, with zero meaningful/impactful output thus zero uncertainty, is Pareto optimal, if you view a corporate as a salary distribution game that you’re a player of.
I thought the same, but there are apparently 17,985 police forces in USA[1] so it looks to be American centric. I think they should list this in their FAQ or make it more obvious.

> As far as I can tell, you're being intentionally uncharitable.

I just don’t see how the posted ticket supports your claim. So far it seems like innuendo rather than evidence.

> If you were to drop all of your ongoing side projects to work with a political candidate that asked for your help, would you really try to argue that you're not at least somewhat tied to that candidate?

Yes, but that’s not what is happening here.

They aren’t working with anyone, and providing data on NJ is as much a primary goal of their project as providing data on CA.

It is possible that they have a party affiliation or bias but responding to a publicly visible data request from a candidate doesn’t seem to provide any evidence for that.
But also significantly more power hungry SoC :(
I thought I'd read of 3D printed trachea but I just did a search and discovered the work is all still experimental.

There was also promising work on printing a biodegradable one that be used as a matrix or scaffold for growing a new one from the patient's own cells. This sounds like a better one; though you could print a non-immune-triggering one, one made of the patient's own cells would be more compliant (flexible) which I assume from taking animals apart is required for good breathing.
You could disable Google, etc., related apps via ADB and block internet access for applications with Netguard or something. I blacklist all by default and allow only those I need. Makes for improved security.
Don't be fooled by the rain of downvotes that some comments are getting: the HN crowd is incredibly biased towards hyped stuff and CV-driven development.

Working Around the Inherent Slowness of Debugger Conditional Breakpoints
Not that much. Nuclear energy alone wouldn't really make a huge difference. Even if we ignore the obvious problems with safety (big issue with older designs and their spent fuel storage) and security (huge issue with modern designs) when nuclear power would be similarly widespread as, e.g., natural gas: There is still the fact that it is inherently a stationary power source (with not that many good places to put it). Distribution of electricity isn't a big problem, but it doesn't help for mobility applications, so we would need the battery or H2 industry anyways.

Factor in the wastly different levels of difficulty between solar and nuclear power, I'd think we would also have the latter, if just as a simple alternative when you don't have the time or the capital to setup a nuclear power plant. Wind energy might be a different matter, as it comes with a lot more practical difficulties.

One could simply compare France and Germany to understand how things would end up, I think.
It's still more accessible than anything else.
You need a computer with an internet connection and time. That's it. English is the easiest language to learn as well. Not because of its structure or vocabulary mind you but because it's very easy to get constant exposure to it in all forms - entertainment, education, science publications.

The best thing about programming is that you don't need an invitation to an exclusive club. No degree, no connections, no expensive licenses. You can put stuff out there for the whole world to see and it costs <100$ to have a functioning website with payment integration.

You need talent and dedication to recognize and solve problems people consider important. It's maybe the last mostly meritocratic fields left. We are lucky to have it, it might not be for very long.
Just posting alternatives.

I use a VPS with SSH. I have to ssh in, then I can ssh into the machine at home.

For safety, key authentication and fail2ban would cover a lot. I mainly have the 1 port.

If I need to expose another SSH port to the internet, I can do it, but yes, it would need extra protection since logs are coming from the machine ssh'ing in.
I think you need to focus on your strengths and your personal interests. Many startups etc are people trying to fix things they lack in their lives or they can do better.
Android in my experience takes aaaaages. By far the biggest boot slouch in modern times.
Ok, but please don't post off-topic, shallow complaints to HN. They get upvoted to the top of the thread (it's basically a community bug) and then choke out interesting discussion.

I've marked this one offtopic now, which puts it lower on the page.

Detroit Become Human – Worst Ending (Cyberlife Wins)
I imagine the typical user initiation on Windows is also super fast, just not a cold boot.
Actually, it's your viewpoint that's stupid.

No one wants more humans on the planet. We only need to account for humans that are yet to be born, before we hit the peak around ~10B.

And before you start blaming countries for high birth rates (which is the typical ignorant and possibly racist viewpoint), read some books to know that birth rates have dropped drastically since WW2 due to increase in education and healthcare ACROSS THE WORLD, and they are still dropping. We have already reached peak child [1]. We will reach peak human at around ~10B according to latest reports, which is much less than what we can actually support in the future with renewable tech. So everything's mostly good, get educated.

Well wireless won't ever replace wired for every use case, I don't see why we can't get to a point where 90% of households are provided internet service via cellular technologies, either to a MiFi-like device or with cellular built into the computer. If my iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch have cellular built in, why not my Mac too?
Hasura handles auth quite well (row level AND column level). See this doc[1].

But in general, I either let the reverse proxy handles auth so my backend doesn't have to do anything, or I use the ORY stack[2].

I have a large house so I have IoT smoke detectors because they are connected so if one goes off, everyone does.

Its good because otherwise a fire could start in one section of the house without me waking up for example.
>What if we were civilized enough you didn't have to worry about anyone building their own atom bomb?

Then we'd be something other than human. You'd need a species that values all members equally and has no preference for those in the same social group (or family, etc.). Likely it also means members cannot value themselves above other members. Without all that "civilized" simply means that some group gets oppressed and isn't allowed to fight back in any way.
Keeping all core gasses confined is one option. A spec of dust on the quart, crytaline defect, hydrogen embrittlement, or anything else and you get R.U.D.

Another is not to fight it, and let them go. The closest thing to a torch drive possible with modern day engineering after the NSWR is the open cycle gas core rocket.

Right, kapt still isn't incremental"
Why isn't your KAPT incremental?
Kapt supports incremental annotation processing that is enabled by default. Currently, annotation processing can be incremental only if all annotation processors being used are incremental.
This isn't really new, right? I've heard of this years ago.

But it is an amazing project. Instead of emulating, they actually rebuilt the old custom ICs (which 8-bit computers were full of) in an FPGA. Really impressive.
It's not exactly hypocrisy to complain when someone attacks you and not complain when your enemy gets attacked.

I suppose you could say that it's hypocrisy to complain about being attacked while also happily attacking other countries (which would be relevant if the US was responsible for this attack on Iran).

In general though, people and countries like to believe that they are in the right, and that there is no justification for someone attacking them, whereas if they attack someone else it's because they deserved it or it was self-defence.

I don't think we should condemn all self-defence as hypocritical, but perhaps a better argument for hypocrisy in this case is the fact that the US and Israel are both nuclear powers trying to prevent Iran from becoming one. Even that is an over-simplification, though.
I think you’re imagining some centralised MMDS type architecture but with cellular architecture this is a reality in many places. Even in modern settings if you have WiFi you need never even be aware that there is a wire there feeding it. Indeed to many of my younger contemporaries it can take a moment to explain the difference ...
DoD's Artificial Intelligence Capabilities
I have a close friend who's a director. I've always treated him like an equal but one day I told him that he was never getting the whole story. He felt devastated because he thought it was him but it's not him, it's just the title.

Part of getting the fancy title is understanding that you will never get the truth from subordinates, you will get a sugar-coated version of the truth that is close enough to the truth, but not so close that you'd rage and fire someone on the spot. Even if you've never even do that in a million years, somewhere, somehow, someone who is giving you good and bad news will always sugarcoat the truth on the bad news yet hype up the good news.
>> To be successful at finding employment in games with UE4, you have to be able to use create game systems without using their blueprint feature. It's insanely powerful, and people really like it for rapid prototyping, but relatively frequently blueprint devs can't transition to C++/"raw" game code.

You make it sound as if you would inevitably hit a brick wall when using blueprint. This is not true. Game design is different to programming and some coding skills are almost a requirement for blueprints. Lots of game logic is better implemented as blueprint than c++.
Perhaps if higher wages and better working conditions are the only items that define your self-interest. I suspect while those two items may be important or helpful, they are by far not the only factors that define my self interest. I have given up both willingly and much happier for it. Perhaps my happiness is not rational but it’s damn sure more important than money and whether or not I have a 1” or 2” standing mat under my feet.
Focusing on boot times is weird though, it used to be important when you would boot up your computer in order to use it. Nowadays everything is always sleeping, and can be woken up in an instant to be used, so how long things take to cold boot aren't relevant anymore.
I'm pretty sure optical media will be around for a long time although not as mainstream as was. It's cost is still unbeatable. You can get a 25gb brd for less than a $ while a memory card with the same capacity is much more expensive. Shelf life is also better for optical discs, they are great for create and forget backups.
Indeed, the Catalan referendum was fake.

Among the main irregular procedures include:

1. there are opaque ballot boxes,
2. there are no official ballots or envelopes,
3. the electoral census is hosted on online servers,
4. there is no electoral board, and
5. there is no counting system.

> I understand the desire to investigate stuff like this, but for 90%+ of people, every inquiry in to "most optimal way to not be debilitating unhealthy" is just a waste of time.

95% of people won't program their exercise based on random studies, so I'm not sure what the conflict is.

>almost all of the war is in getting people wanting to improve, and very little of it is in the how to do it.

This is ultra naive. In the long term, 'wanting to improve' has to translate into compliance. getting people to want to improve is a short term thing that changes when you have to get up an hour early to run and shower, or whatever they choose.

Getting people to comply long term is incredibly difficult. You can succeed in getting people to want to change and still fail long term compliance and get nothing.

>Maybe that's just me, but I feel like we're searching for our keys under streetlight here.

That might be hardware related. Android-x86 in a Qemu VM boots in under 3 seconds.
I have explicitly instructed my team to let me know if I ask them to do something stupid so we can avoid the mistake. I was so excited the first time someone spoke up to alert me that I was overlooking a better option & made sure to celebrate the alert in order to keep the transparency going.

There may be teams where this direct approach wouldn’t work out, but so far it’s seemed to help.
Do you think that hardware changes are needed for that? If it is only a matter of software, then buying now will not hurt.

More about this can be found in the literature on using capabilities to provide/implement effect systems. For example:

- "Capabilities: Effects for Free": https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~aldrich/papers/effects-icfem2018.pdf

- "Effects as Capabilities: Effect Handlers and Lightweight
Effect Polymorphism" https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3428194

I think this is a quite effective approach and I hope it is used more. In some sense it's just good coding style, which lets you do effect-system-style reasoning in any language.
This is true. Another thing that drove the prices down is the fact that the countries where we outsourced manufacturing have built up their own industry and know how. They are now selling the same products for half the price directly to the consumer.
