Does it?

I've been to college, and while there is value there, it's mostly not in the education. Virtually everything important I've learned that is directly applicable to my life and career I either learned in elementary school, learned through experience, or learned myself.

The value in college, at least for me, was its environment, social network, and opportunity network. People underestimate how valuable these things are, and similarly fail to realize just how bad the internet is at all three. Online education is stunningly comprehensive, but the internet is a terrible learning environment, just as it is a terrible social and opportunity environment.

The goal of modern society should be to realize that the qualities which make colleges so good at these things are not fundamentally connected to their curriculum, and can be incorporated into society at large. There is no reason why we couldn't create districts in cities which have the same learning, social, and professional qualities for young people as a university. For certain professions we arguably already do, and that is with literally no coordinated effort to create them.

Imagine if we actually tried.
You're asking parents why they might have trouble competing for their children's attention vs. a company with essentially unlimited money and some of the best programmers and marketers in the world? I sincerely hope you're being sarcastic.

By the way, I can almost guarantee you that your kids will find a way to get themselves smartphones before you officially allow it. Kids are resourceful, and there's nothing as tempting as something their parents tell them they can't have.
I looked at the psf budget last normal year, iirc it was like five million in income. They choose to spend most profits on outreach and teaching. That’s their decision but then they also complain about being under resourced, leading to compat breaks on minor versions.

I don’t believe it is necessary, compatibility should come before most other activities.
For low traffic sites that end up mostly just being object store and bandwidth, the public clouds are almost certainly the cheapest (from a computing bill perspective) way to do things. My personal website is similar.

The main caveat is that theoretically your costs could spike for some reason given you're paying based on usage. But if you're not doing anything complicated, I consider that pretty low odds.
I am guessing that you don't do clinical research, then ;-)
(that should have read without disclosing dec(p))

But yeah, you'd have to end up with equivalents to p* = 123 which becomes (dec(p)* = 123 etc. My guess is that due to the simon cipher they're allocating full blocks whenever you do the safe version of malloc, and then do a range check to ensure that there is no overrun when storing / incrementing etc.
The fact that a company can't deal with a scheduled-far-in-advance, highly-public-if-failed event does tell you some things about their priorities / how well they do things they need to do.
you do realize that the recently introduced sex toy was both named and designed to resemble flashlights, right?

that said, interesting decision to ditch the scripting language. when i think of these sorts of things, immediately think that embedding or supporting a scripting language makes a ton of sense. i'm curious what the thinking was to just go full c++? i suppose they just decided that modern c++ was easy enough and this was better for simplifying production?
What? Nobody in their right mind thinks "fleshlight" immediately upon hearing the word "flashlight"

Is this some sort of performance art comment?
While reading the FAQ I stumbled upon a likely answer to your question:

> Why doesn't Vugu use Go templates (html/template)?

> Short answer: Because templates do not provide type safety or other compile-time checks.

> Tesla owners have that and better every day, and they use it every day, accruing billions of miles to train the algorithm.

I’m not sure this is boost you really think. If I test you on your times tables every day that doesn’t teach you calculus. In the same way I think the vast majority of data Tesla is receiving is reinforcement of what already works.
Hmm I heavily disagree. I think that just because someone did something fucked up in the past doesn't mean they can no longer be trusted or their moral compass/judgement is somehow permanently broken.

Perhaps this is the case for me because what he did wasn't really messed up from what I know about the story, just weird.

I will concede that in some situations, and from my perspective these would almost entire involve sexual assault, I'd consider a person unredeemable.
Are there any plans where metadata for Internet Archive patrons could be scoped to API tokens or applications (Oauth2), so that external applications could add value for users on top of the Internet Archive corpus?
I'd say the main con is that the site isn't reliable. I'm not being facetious. If you're going to use 3rd party sign on, being on the front page of HN shouldn't be enough to bring it down. Imagine if you posted your company's site instead of the underlying technology and your sign-in was negatively affected.

My personal feelings, that aside, is that though many of us are privacy conscious, adding more and more dependencies to your site results in us having to trust more entities. Even if they don't store anything, we have to trust they aren't lying, that redirection is implemented properly, etc.

I think the best thing you can do if you care about the privacy of your users is minimize the amount of information necessary. So if your site doesn't require email, don't take it. If a phone number isn't necessary, don't ask for it. Use usernames, only ask for an email when the user is doing something that would require it (e.g. they need a receipt).

One thing that I love is when a site actually gives you a temporary username the minute you visit the "app" portion and you can use the site as if you created an account without having to do anything. That's usually a sign that the administrators really do care about you not jumping through hoops.
Out of memory allocation panic is absolutely not acceptable in a kernel, and even less so when you're linux (which does some sneaky memory overcommit things)
> Have you heard of Bell Labs?

While I would tend to agree that private funding for research is way better in the US, Bell Labs is not necessarily a good example.

True, the tech. output of the outfit was amazing, but they had massive govt support (among other things, they were given an official monopoly by the USG).
Good first step would be to free the data under an open license. A MusicBrainz for books.

Now that I think about it, there probably are multiple projects already trying to do that.
The ability to more intelligently control access to sites/apps WITHOUT requiring technical competence is critical.

I think Apple and Android offer some fairly powerful tools to manage these things? But I've found that routers, even in 2021, are just trash garbage at offering these kinds of powers.
Urgh, what a cheap marketing flick. Chasing yet more vanity metrics...

Also, what even constitutes "best" (not good) research? Nobody knows.
Shopify is indeed a way larger company operationally speaking. But one interesting thing about market caps is that they are not correlated with present operational value.

There are companies with large market caps that have small cash reserves and no structural access to large debt. In contrast there also companies with smaller market caps that have large cash reserves, established lines of credit and perhaps other instruments to leverage debt.

Wall Street is surprisingly bad at valuing those things (or maybe surprisingly good?).

People want to trade stocks that have unrealized value. That's why solid stocks like VZ and T barely can keep up with the S&P 500 growth. They are seen as companies with fully realized value. There's not too much for those companies to do besides solidifying their monopolies.
Exactly, social media has become important part of modern world, It has it good and bad. It important not to completely detach them from social media but rather teach them how to deal/manage social media, especially from early age.

When they grow up they will have to deal with this, teaching them the skill on how to navigate social media will be beneficial.
Exception:INRIA.
People around the world are different, companies are structured differently, work cultures vary. We should not try to "homogenize" everything. And as such, why use data from a global set to apply it to a local set?

If teleworking works for your company, great keep doing it! If it doesn't, don't do it. And lets not demonize when a company makes a decision that is right for them in their particular case.

For our company, we've made the decision to not allow teleworking, and it is only approved temporarily on a strict case by case basis. I think it has helped our work culture and productivity over the many years.
The Chemical Weapon Next Door
Mathematical concepts are more general and abstract and so a short description is sometimes hard or inconvenient to describe without overlapping dozens of other concepts. Wherever it makes sense there are all sorts of descriptive names : loops, knots and so on
It's not that easy or simple. Not by a long shot. You might find Eleanor Ostrom's 1990 "Governing the Commons"[1] interesting - it details exactly how individuals can work together to reach "equilibrium" and it doesn't involve governments or selfish (in the economics sense) individuals. She won a Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for the book and her subsequent related work. The title of course is a play on the title of the classic "Tragedy of the Commons" article advocating for privatization over centralized government oversight. I won't spoil the book but she addresses the "privatize the commons" approach as well. Her conclusions might surprise you.

what a boring civilization we built

There could also be a cultural aspect of this. In English, the lower you speak, the more respectable you are. It is borderline ridiculous when you listen as a foreigner (when voices are cutting off or rattling), until I learnt how to use it myself ;) Anyway, I speak with much higher pitch in French, and perhaps the bass mic is important for English speakers, but wouldn’t have had such an effect on European radios, where, maybe in Spanish, high frequencies would be important because the faster you speak, the more interesting you are? Consonants are much more important in latin languages.
I wish Flashlight had a way to easily export models to other frameworks.
Shopify ecom functionality is mostly third party no? Payment is Stripe. What are you paying Shopify for? It’s just a platform.
You don't need to "push changes to the main thread", you can mutate the state of the whole process during debugging, and in Lisp that includes compiling and loading new code that gets used immediately by whatever application you're trying to debug.
So, this doesn't look like they've actually broken any new ground here that you can't achieve with existing commercial products like Okta or Auth0. They're taking an extra step of asking you to store hashes of their hashes. Which actually feels less secure since if hackers get their hashes, that as good as getting clear passwords to login directly your site? I'm not actually clear on that.

But either way, the diagram says they're hashing phone numbers, so presumably that means they authenticate by typing in their phone number which is a terribly password since you give you phone number out to people so they must also send a TOTP via SMS which is better, but not great. NIST has started recommending not to use SMS for out-of-band authentication. Either way, this whole chain of events just delegates authentication your mobile carrier. Same thing if you send a TOTP to an email address. It feels more seamless, but really you're just delegating auth to their email provider. No different that using OAuth.
> The Starliner is a Boeing product.

ULA is Lockheed Martin + Boeing.

> controversy surrounding their F-35 program.

Fair enough, I'm not fan of the F-35 program either. Although it's not entirely Lockheed's fault... the mandate to have a one-size-fits-all aircraft for all branches of the military was doomed to fail from inception. The military knew it, and I'm certain so did Lockheed and all their contractors. Congress didn't want to hear that though... thinking it would lead to costs savings (oh, how hindsight is 20/20).

At a minimum, there should be two competing designs - built through flight testing (if not built to completion and maintained in conjunction to avoid any future safety groundings that stall USA human space flight capabilities). It's nutty to put all eggs into SpaceX's basket.

I also hardly believe saving money on such an important mission is important at all. Getting people there and back safely is paramount to saving what amounts to rounding errors in today's spend-happy congressional budget.
A low acceptance rate just means either there were more applications than usual or fewer places than usual.

A record high number of applications is, of course, an achievement in terms of encouraging those applications.

> There are some departments in institutions (think CS) who, in the face of exploding enrollments, have made every effort to scale their courses to accommodate as many students who are capable as possible

I would be very surprised if they could do this without lowering the standard of the education provided to each student.
Users expect signin to work the way they expect it to work.

I once implemented a non standard signin where all that was needed was an email link which kept you signed in.

Users hated it.

They actually went to the trouble of complaining and no doubt it lost me potential signups.

These days I only ever do normal email and password signup.
No wonder, it's a dead-hug for everyone but Google.
I don't want legislators who think they're "running the country". That's the first problem. Rulemaking should never be construed with "running".

Secondly, I've never had any illusion about trying to attract "the best" in Congress. It's an elected position, both the House and Senate, and so it will merely attract those with aspirations of power and wealth who are good at campaigning. Oftentimes we also get people who forge a decades-long career by leveraging the access to power and influence they have in such a position. This last part is toxic, and won't be fixed by increasing pay.
Ask HN: Senpais, seniors developers, do you still write code at your job?
I know it change from company to company (that's why I am asking here to be honest), but I see some people saying that seniors don't even code anymore. Is it true (in your case)?

Senpai, do you write code at your job? Or you spend the most of you time just replying e-mails, reviewing pull requests, attending boring meetings, mentoring the juniors and writing documents?

I am at the same company for four years now so I don't know what the seniors out there are doing. So I'm just asking here to know the answers of a bubble different from mine and different from the usual youtube channels I watch.

Thanks in advance.

Should definitely not trust the USDT stable coin in spite of its position at #5. I'm just saying market cap isn't a function of trust.
> Say you have a business entity in the said country and you operate as a subsidiary or you contract to another company, now you pay local wages as per the market.

In my experience that's almost always how it works because you have to employ people in such a way that you abide by all local laws. I have seen people employed as independent contractors but, and again this varies by country, there are often restrictions around criteria like how long you can do that for. It's also kind of a PITA for the "employee" because it means they might have to do things like sort out their own taxes and healthcare. If you have a legal entity in place you can do that for them. That means you either set up a subsidiary, or you using a local offshoring firm. And this applies regardless of the country.

Only because of Elon and team, and a huge brick of money that NASA gave them.
Seems to me that petitioning Facebook about this is a way of parents taking responsibility for making a better world for their kids.
I thank you for your take; yet I refuse to yield to your sensibilities.

I think where we differ is in our approach to language. I see it as a medium of art -- like a song or a painting. "Man" is but a certain, evocative hue of brown that I believe fits best into the feelings I'm trying to elicit; and "human" is a lesser, albeit passable substitute.

I think this scientificization, making it more rigorous and "comprehensible," has done the opposite. Words have connotations, denotations, and all sorts of deeper meanings behind them. "Human" is such a sterilized, unnevocative word; and I refuse to use it.

However, certainly you've felt something from its usage -- even if that feeling was not the one I felt (compare it to: human -- which only the most scientifically-obsessed would have their hearts sing from its utterance).
I don't see such a significant problem.
After working with Microsoft, we believe that we have found a solution that allows you to keep the critical Microsoft Security Update installed. It appears that this issue can be resolved by enabling "Link Layer Multi-cast Name Resolution" (LLMNR). This is a Windows Group Policy that many users have disabled over the years. Re-enabling it seems to restore proper IP Address resolution which in turn restores connectivity to the Dentrix Database. To enable LLMNR, follow the steps below: https://hsione.force.com/dentrixguest/s/article/Unable-To-Ac...

It's worse than one not feeling it's worth it. Automating rare events is basically futile, because the next time your automation runs, everything will have changed and it will break.

Also worth mentioning that a lot of what is considered technology is actually mathematics.
If people are not tech-savy enough, that just means there are a number of products to be built (and should be built) to steam line it.

I remember I had email way before my parents, and now they use email everyday. People can learn how to use technologies, they just need the right training and simple UIs.

I feel for the parents that are not tech-savy, I do not feel for the parents that can see how social media is having negative effects of their children's brains.
Yeah, that sort of works, though I’m not sure a function that throws two distinct exception could be compatible with a generic method that takes functions throwing three distinct exceptions (that may sound crazy but some java.security crypto stuff does it).
There are still Firefox and Safari free of FLoC
IMO it's the other way around. Java has some of the best IDE's around so everyone uses them. You can code in notepad and compile with maven but why would you?

With Rust you code in VIM because there's nothing better. Improving Rust IDE's has been one of the teams big focuses for years. Everyone codes in random text editors because there's no amazing IDE.
Kubevisor renamed to Kubirds, fully automated cloud-native supervision
A cell phone was basically considered a required item like binders and pens at my kids' school. Rather than ban them, they try to encourage appropriate use.

For example, they encourage the use of the calendar app for tracking assignments and test dates. They use the camera to capture information for homework. Kids have projects that sometimes involves recording audio or shooting video. There's also a twitter-like app that the teacher can use to broadcast to students and students can use to communicate with the teacher.

> To make it more difficult to brute force, when generating the humanID Account ID, we will concatenate the phone number with a Salt Key (another string that will be appended before the hash).

> sha512hash ( Salt_Key + Phone Number ) = Hash Result

This is a complete joke (a SHA-512 of a phone number can be brute-forced on a typical computer in a fraction of a second). I doubt the rest of the protocols and cryptography are any better.

Also, phone numbers are not unique identifiers for people. Real people, malicious or not, have multiple or no phone numbers (or phone numbers that can’t receive SMS). I haven’t found a clear answer yet as to whether SMS verification is the only proof step but it seems like that’s the case.

As a non native english speaker I knew the word flashlight years before I knew that you could use torch to mean the same thing (and not just a burning stick). Websters even seems to claim that this is mostly a British thing.
This whole effort to bring rust into Linux kernal should be killed with fire asap before it's too late.
OK, fine, I'll bite: what specifically are those things it tells you that you can verifiably claim are true about Epic Games, again, specifically?
Boeing's bid was eliminated in the first selection round because it failed to properly address NASA's stated requirements. Maybe that's the arrogance of thinking you don't need to offer what the customer is asking for, you know what's good for them better than they do?

Maybe, Boeing forgot that their bid was addressed to NASA not Congress, they put stuff in there like launching on SLS which certain people in Congress would like, and thought that would be enough to overcome the fact they'd ignored some of NASA's stated requirements.

A former senior NASA manager, Doug Loverro, is under criminal investigation, accused of illegally trying to help Boeing resubmit its bid to make it actually conform with the requirements.

This is solid advice - thanks. One of the things they mentioned is that this would help prevent botnets. Would OAuth also do that? Also - does the opensource, non-profit status change the dynamics?
If there is no additional degree of freedom the walk has to be trivial (assuming homogeneity).
People use Google because the algorithm is a black box that is constantly updated to keep away black hat SEO crap. An open web page ranking algorithm is useless in an adversarial environment. There is no current signal that can’t be trivially gained that doesn’t effectively require mass user surveillance (to see “what’s really popular”).

> 2. “This is why the search engine company should be separate from the company which owns all the other products”

This doesn’t solve the problem. They can still alter top listings to push things for “preferred partners and truths”.

I don’t agree because it was the Unicode change that made it difficult, every thing else was relatively trivial. No further huge breaks are even being considered. So kind of a moot point anyway.
