It would handle the issue of consent, but not answer the question they were researching: "Would this bug get into the kernel?" Because if the maintainers knew that this was research, not an actual ordinary patch, they'd be answering a hypothetical: "Would I accept this, if it were an actual ordinary patch?" I don't think people are wired to answer that exactly the same if they know it's a hypothetical as if they were answering it non-hypothetically, "Should we accept this patch into the kernel?" So the only way to really find out what would happen in reality is to really do it for real... So that's what they did.

What's weird is of course that they didn't tell anyone. In the fairly analogous situation of "white-hat hacker" penetration testing, the penetrators have authorization from either someone (fairly high up in) the security department of the organisation to be tested, or if that whole department is being evaluated someone even higher than that; without that authorization it's not white-hat testing but just black-hat cracking. They should have privately contacted mr Kroah-Hartman, and/or Linus himself, beforehand and asked if they were amenable to this. Then they could have had the option to accept and be in on it, not comment on but silently monitor the patches in question, and at the end of the experiment reveal the results to their fellow maintainers and revert any specific patches -- which they would have been continuously kept informed about out-of-band -- that had made it through review.

Provided of course that they, Greg K-H or Linus or whoever, would have been comfortable with temporarily deceiving -- or letting be deceived -- their fellow maintainers, of course. Or, well, even if they weren't exactly "comfortable" with it, seems to me there's a chance they might have gone for it because of the valuable knowledge it would have gained the community. The "reveal" afterwards, coming first from one of these trusted people, would probably go down a lot better in the maintainer community than it did as this secret external attack.

Elon is the single person who had the biggest impact on the electric car market. If not him, it might”ve taken years more to get where we are today.

For a tiny fraction of the amount of wealth we dedicate to the pensions and healthcare of baby boomers (typically 50% of Government budgets in most Western countries), we can easily support private companies like SpaceX to colonise the solar system.

Establishing ourselves on harsh planets will help us to appreciate Earth more, and provide a motivation for us to continue developing new technologies and techniques - to conquer 'the frontier'.
What about electric cars or a constellation of low orbit satellites to bring internet to many more people? I think it’s important for us to continue to push the bounds of exploration for practical and emotional reasons. It gives humanity something to believe in that transcends all societies and cultures, even if it’s just a cold, barren, hostile world.
To me the great irony is, this is superficially an attack on people like Elon Musk, saying "hey why don't you help Earth instead of trying to get to Mars". But if you look at what SpaceX is actually doing... the vast majority of their effort is spent on helping life on Earth. Satellite launches, providing internet, almost all of their business is from making life better on Earth!

SpaceX already is a scheme to take people who are really excited about Mars, and funnel 99% of their energy into making life better on Earth. So it's just ironic to me that SpaceX is already achieving what this website wishes it could do.

> the drive to reach Mars has been producing technology that will help Earth. For example, advancements in renewables energy in the short term.

What are you referring to ?
This is such a narrow minded attitude. The amount of resources used working on getting to mars is tiny and negligible compared to so many other less valuable and more resource intensive endeavours. What about warfare? video games? Bitcoin mining? Actual gold and gem mining? Amusement parks, junk food, lawns, jet skis etc.

This is obviously a dig at Elon Musk, who ironically just today offered a 100 million X Prize for carbon sequestration:

Intelligence is not about IQ. It's about heuristics and intuition.

IQ is mostly a pseudo-science, it doesn't hold any form of logical rigor.[0]

Your IQ might actually be higher than some people with with better grades.
Just like how Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk don't have the highest IQs, but are some of the most "intelligent people" — as measured by their networth.

Unclear academic concepts are often so because of poor literature, not stupid students.

I used to think I was too stupid to fully understand quantum physics until I read Richard Feynman's Quantum Electro Dynamics [1]
Feynman actually talks exactly about this problem (poor academic literature) in the very first chapters of the book (in the example about how mayans computed astronomical events).

Fyneman's book is not "dummed down" its well written, because it is written specifically to be understood.

Some new well written books includes Maths Better Explained & Calculus Better Explained books kinda popular in the HN crowd.

You making interesting point, with for profit model you can provide better service then with non-profit model to some degree, but it is not always true. There many reasons for such cases, but I think it all comes down to leadership and values of the company, over time leadership and consequently values will change, undoubtedly. Such changes result in higher or lower preference of service to end users versus profits (or innovation, control priorities), I think this is irrespective of for/non-profit organizations.

You can make any likely event and their aftermath survivable more easily than create a self-sustaining colony on mars. Yes.

If a colony on mars could ever be self-sustainable without earth. If it can't, your point is moot.
yeah imagine we colonize another planet for nothing
This is lacking in vision and short sighted. There are countless scenarios where humanity inevitably, eventually dies on Earth even if we abandoned technology and nuclear stockpiles (unrealistic), and went back to living in agricultural communes and getting in touch with nature.

In fact, Earth will be completely inhospitable to complex life as we know it in just a few hundred million years as the sun matures [0].

The query language is limited, but a lot of the limitations are intentional.

Here is a post from a while back where I explained some of the reason for some of these limitations; https://groups.google.com/g/google-cloud-firestore-discuss/c...

Granted not all of them are due to this philosophy and some are just hard problems due to other constraints like the security rules verification system.

RE projections: this is actually due to some limitations in processing security rules and not a limitation in the query matching.

Edit: RE matching on missing attributes. This is due to Firestore having sparse indexes and being schemaless, if you write explicit null values you can query for those fields being null.

A closed you can't loose American round robin competition does not appeal to soccer fans - we want to see clubs doing poorly get relegated and those that play well have a chance to compete in the champions league.
> The disparity between the Premier League teams and the other leagues is huge already

It wasn’t the case earlier. Between 2008 and 2012, English clubs did extremely well. That time can come again. Even right now, 2 of the 4 European semi-finalists are English teams, one of whom isn’t even doing that well in the domestic league. That does not strike me as a struggling league.

The real advantage that Barcelona, Real Madrid and others have is the lopsided way they allocate domestic broadcasting revenue. The English league splits it equally, for most part. This leads to an extremely competitive domestic league. In Spain, the big 3 clubs gobble the lions share of the TV revenue, leading to boring, easy games for them and more money to spend on players compared to the English. In the long run, the English strategy is superior - it leads to a more interesting League that draws more viewers.

Mars does suck but people aren’t trying to reach it because it’s awesome. Being a interplanetary species allows us to survive a world-ending event say like another huge asteroid. It’s insurance.

I can’t help but think these people are entirely missing the point. It reminds me of people that argue cities don’t need parks and should just build more buildings.

Put it this way - if you figure out a way to make Mars habitable - you can figure out disaster handling scenarios for any cataclism caused by global warming.

The scales are different since Mars wouldn't start with 7-8B people but conceptual breakthroughs are the first step before scaling.

Solving Mars habitation is basically taking all the existential threats we're facing and bumping them up by several orders of magnitude (well maybe not all but the major issues at least, Mars doesn't have tsunamis for eg.). If you make that work anything that happens on Earth is a happy path.

>As a non technical person, what are some things I can do to protect my company against complex cyber adversaries?

That usually comes down to - who are your adversaries? Parent implies that given enough money, high value targets can be compromised for less money than conventional military arsenal.

For an average individual, small company dealing with non-sensitive data - preventing non-targeted attacks is likely high priority e.g. Preventing your applications, data from getting compromised because its vulnerability was detected in the random scan of the attacker (or) your staff plugged in a flash drive with ransomware.

Some simple non-exhaustive preventive measures are - Operational Security(Training staffs to not click unwanted links, social engineering attacks(not to reveal too much about their work online, Better identity management etc.) Application Security(Ensuring security focused application development, keeping up-to date with the patches for libraries etc.), Collecting less customer data as possible(Ensuring customer privacy).

The underlying package tree-sitter that semgrep uses is pretty amazing too. It’s an incremental parser for many different languages written in C.

There are still important matches between pairs of top teams every year as it is now. ManU plays Liverpool 2+ times. Madrid vs Barca probably 4 times or so. But with ESL, every match would be between the dirty dozen. Then it loses its charm.

On this proposal, incomes of the clubs in the ESL would not have depended on winning.

The bonus of winning the league would have been minuscule compared to the profits from merely participating (and this goes only for the founding members).

Hence it would have definitely reduced competition.

The ESL would have been a show league, possibly even more so than the American leagues from which it took the ideas.

This was an all too transparent money grab.

Yes, the most annoying factor was that it cut off the Football pyramid and would have had incredibly negative consequences consequences for all other teams and countries.

However, even if you are a fan of the participating teams, I wonder how long you’d be excited watching a league where winning is a sidequest.

It’s just bad all around.
> Lichess is a non-profit association in France.

I don’t see any reference to this in the about pages. For this conversation in particular that seems like an important oversight if true. American nonprofits tend to list that stuff prominently. Maybe too prominently, but that’s a whole other kettle of fish.
Is it me, or this looks like a covert Microsoft > Ubuntu takeover?

Long time Ubuntu user, first time I see release notes mentioning a brand. More exactly, tailored to a brand.

I'm a bit worried. I was Microsoft-free for decades, now everything around me (repository, programming language, editor, package manager, operating system??) starts to be Microsoft again.

It's perhaps nothing wrong with this. But I guess there is a certain cohort which will never forgive and forget the Microsoft deeds.
It's not as simple as "subscribe to this SQL query", but you can do this relatively easy with PostgreSQL LISTEN / NOTIFY:
https://gist.github.com/kissgyorgy/beccba1291de962702ea9c237...

You just notify the clients with the primary keys of what changed, so you only need to run the query if something changed. If you implement it correctly, you only have to run the query once and push the same result to every client.

I have a small project where I used this and wherever you change anything and send the NOTIFY, every client updates real-time.

Maybe not every day, but that is exactly the motivation for the Cups (FA Cup, DFB-Pokal etc.): you have small clubs you rarely hear about play against the giants.

And sometimes (surprisingly often actually), the small clubs win. Not the whole cup. But they win once. Or twice, and it's great drama and a lot of fun.
All life, that we know of, evolved on earth. Over billions of years. Life forms have complex interdependencies. You can't take one life form out of its environment and have it thrive.

And then everyone realized that the blueprints for the house are not the UML diagrams, but the code itself. Documentation is done at the same time as the code is written, because the code itself is the authoritative documentation about how to build the program and what it will do.

Well I'm probably not really in the target audience, so take my confusion with a grain of salt if those are widely used terms among those who are.
