I don't follow. You recently pointed out to me that most of the serious security bugs in the Chromium codebase (C++) are rooted in memory-management. [0] It's no simple thing to fix these bugs. Not even Google can do so in their most treasured code.

This demand for ideological purity is why open source is a complete failure and the market is dominated by closed systems.

Of course and he knows it as well. But you are not the target of this piece, it's the CEOs of companies that he's renting his space to.

That's not PR impact, that's material impact. The PR impact is not on the current users of the service but on all future potential users of Azure. Like every GCP thread being filled with doom and gloom about Google killing services from people who have never used GCP.
I'm not sure how scalable this is in modern penny-pinching times. In the old days, airlines had to prove they were safe to attract business and this involved accepting that certain practices were harmful and they were therefore improved.

Once we got to the 1980s, we had so many airlines trying to survive that corners were cut, recommendations were not followed and various accidents were essentially negligent.

Now that lots of smaller airlines have been merged into larger ones, we now have Boeing type problems where the cost of manufacture, safety and development is so much higher than before, no-one wants to put a new plane through the whole approvals process, we just want to re-badge a 737 and get it into service.

Similar things happen on the railways in the UK where we have the RAIB to do a similar "no-blame" analysis of a crash/accident yet still time and time again, the same problems surface - lack of preparation, lack of training and lack of following procedures.
Again I don't think that's a correct assessment, Guix actually does have some overlap with systemd because they decided to put some containerization things there. In Nix, this would be delegated to systemd.

I also wouldn't say that that runs contrary to the GuixSD philosophy, as there are a lot of packages in Guix that are written in C and C++ and other compiled languages, and I don't believe they plan to replace them. Maybe I'm wrong about that? At some point it might be interesting to have a Lisp/Scheme-only distro. Of course the kernel would still pose a problem there.
These 4 points would apply to any type of high latency / low security computation though.

Is Bitcoin mining the only type of such computation for which there is a large demand?
I still have IE installed so that I can run ONE god-forsaken enterprise application known as Oracle EBS (Enterprise Business Suite). For everything else I use Chrome.

Oracle EBS uses NPAPI (AKA Java Plugins AKA Java Applets). Chrome dropped support for NPAPI years ago, and since then we've been using IE to whenever we need to use Oracle EBS.

I understand that the latest version of Oracle EBS might now support the cutting-edge technology of Java Web Start to continue to deliver their 1990's era grey-blah UI's with shitty layout. I don't even care to ask about upgrades.

Negotiating with the bean-counter types that have enabled Oracle to put it's slimy tentacles into every critical area of the business is a dreadful, thankless task. I expect it will keep running, at its current version, long after I leave or retire. At some point, I expect employees will need to spin up VM's to open IE to use the f-ing thing-- perhaps they can set it up in their "forever" dream OS, Windows NT with IE4?

Scala 3.0.0 (Dotty) is released
> concurrency .. has no business in a textbook for .. beginners.

Why on earth not? Lots of people begin by wanting to program a simple real time game and concurrency of some kind is absolutely required to do that.

Concurrency not being a first class feature of most mainstream programming languages and frameworks and being clunky in most of the rest is one of the biggest failures of language design in my opinion.
Ok, I see. I guess if company feels that the talent is very valuable to them, it's possible to negotiate special terms like this, but I guess in general companies are not then interested in part-time roles yeah.

I'm actually planning to cut my time in half, but keep the same pay. My story was discussed here on HN yesterday/today:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27133376

Long story short: As the startup I'm working at doesn't have enough money to raise my hourly price, I'm now proposing to cut my hours in half, but keep the pay. So I'm working half the time, but keep the pay. It's summer now, so I'm happy to spend more time with friends and family.

And while we're talking about working less, another thing that's interesting I think is "4-day work weeks". There are remote companies who work 32h per week. I even made a list of the ones I know, but I'm sure there are more: https://remotehunt.com/remote-companies-with-4-day-work-week...
So let people who aren’t experts at physical security suffer break-ins, and physically weak people get beaten up?

We have law enforcement so everyone can be free to focus on their own value-add in life without having to learn 1000 skills to cover their own ass. I love security but 99% of people don’t, and shouldn’t
I am from EU, I will try and google more, my issue is with PlayStation and I could not find with my searches any way to appeal or get clarifications on what happened. I am not sure if sending an email on a generic contact email address with a link to the law will work.
It can and has worked in the past, but only over water. Ground effect planes over land have the problem that land isn't really flat, and ground effect doesn't buffer as well as you might imagine. Even small mounds of dirt can cause an extremely uncomfortable ride. You can think of it like riding in a massive monster truck, but without shock absorbers. You're basically guaranteed to get sick.
I mean, if you ignore how H1B's work, yeah you could call it complacency.
For sure; I wasn't trying to correct you--I just used both terms for clarity.
Good luck recovering those NFTs you bought and forgot about 20 years ago. At least people's old MTG cards might still be in the back of a childhood closed.
It depends? It's easy in Ocaml to fork child processes, set up pipes, and pass messages back and forth. There are libraries that paper over the details (or you can roll your own, as I suspect many of us have done over the years).

That approach is not suitable for every workload, but fine for most map/reduce applications.
So, in reality, virtually identical to a common-law (US/UK-style) legal system.
There's a deeper issue, which is that such analyses always treat profitability as the key goal. This is public infrastructure -- it doesn't need to be profitable, just meet some more important public goal. We shouldn't expect that the electric grid be profitable in providing power to rural customers (and, similarly, mail delivery), and providing low-carbon, high-speed, easy-to-use transportation to everyone is an important societal goal.
I understand the problem that you guys are trying to solve. I experience this pain eveyday at my job.

However this landing page is not doing a great job at explaining the solution. I'm sure once you see the product everything clicks but the current communication is not really explaing well this problem or showcasing well the features and workflows of your solution.
I liked "A Beautiful Mind" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0268978/ too, but it is not about Physics, but Mathematics.

One thing that this attack has proven is that if we ever reach the point where we engage in military conflict with either Russia or China we are going to be functioning as if we experienced a country wide emp within a few days. Our infrastructure is massively vulnerable.

Funny, Medium spent all this time working on (and blogging about) the perfect editor, and you simply use Google Docs.
I think mumblemumble hit the nail on the head -- this isn't really distributed in the same sense as, e.g., blockchain. There is no peer-to-peer distributed ledger, no consensus mechanism, etc.

In addition to what they said, I'll also point out something else that's perhaps even more important -- you just measured "number of forks" in terms of the number of forks on github (as opposed to eg the number of people who have git cloned the repo).
I don't see how this incident would make or break your impression of the Cirrus.

From the picture, the plane at rest is pretty messed up, but all occupants are safe, and pending investigation, there doesn't seem to be a sign of mechanical error involved.

Flying in (or near) small planes has a lot of risk, but I don't see how this incident would change your impression of this one manufacturer's planes.

I almost did here, for the reasons stated.

I very much would have ignored it on Twitter ;)

Glad I did not here.
It'd have to be an international effort as there are big mining operations are in Russia, Switzerland, China, Iceland as well as the US.

Being legal means that you can run big mining operations, so you could clamp down on those and slow mining. That would not stop it, though.

Being legal means that it can be used to trade goods and services, and you could clamp down on that and harm its value as a currency.

And being legal means that legal businesses can exchange it for other currencies, so clamping down on that harms its liquidity.

Even if you can make it broadly illegal across the globe, it's hard to see how effective that would be. Illegality has made anything else on the black market go away, after all, and the whole point of a crypto-currency is to thrive despite government suppression.
Performance is good yeah, everything else is comparable to (and often worse than) the prius. From the exterior finish to the horrible plastics all over the interior. Teslas aren’t nice daily drivers.

I love the performance, but it’s hard to enjoy it very much as a weekend car when the batteries can only take a couple of hours of aggressive driving. I had a taycan turbo s for a few months too, it was a blast (much more fun than any Tesla) for a few weeks until I got sick of the consistently disappointing battery life.
Yah this one almost got me. I noticed the Reject All at the top, but I got drawn into that crazy labyrinth of settings as well.
"Learn X the Easy Way" goes back decades, especially in foreign language books. "Learn Python the Hard Way" was deliberately inverting that pattern.
Thanks! Still sounds really good :).

Is there a usb-c gpu that would be compatible? (edit: we'll see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27144085 )

I already replaced my battery 2 times, speakers once, wifi once. All was just so still possible on my 2016 laptop. I have an even older laptop with broken screen in use too.

If only I didn't want to run a game every now and than :). I now wonder what to get next:

- another laptop with a dedicated gpu

- something like this here and some usb-c gpu as soon as the onboard gpu doesn't do the trick anymore

- or a desktop for games and media stuff (and a pinebook for typing and youtube or just use my machine from work)
I work at a large enterprise company for their front-end. We have noticed that US domestic IE11 usage has dropped significantly, but has remained constant in Asia. Unfortunately some of our larger customers require us to support IE11 until its official security EOL (2025).

Yay! Added some more rant about LVFS to my original comment.
Word of mouth is something you can optimize for. Multi-level marketing schemes and social networks both do this.

I would prefer companies to focus on landing page quality than to start altering the product to turn customers into salesfolks.
This is off topic to the main post, but wanted to thank you personally as somebody who's used saucenao pretty consistently for the last ten years, being adjacent to a lot of anime/game fandoms and even personally posting art on pixiv regularly. Such a fantastic and easy little tool. Can't even remember where I heard about it, which in some ways speaks to how good the site is.

Are you familiar with Bucky Fuller's concept of "tensegrity"?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensegrity

https://mymodernmet.com/tensegrity-architecture/

He pointed out that the struts could recursively be made out of tensegrity structures. Or you can make them out of balloons:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensairity

I was being a little coy in my previous comment. The structures I'm thinking of are more like kites than sailing ships. They would "dip a toe" in the water to tack, perhaps, but they would be aerial not marine in nature.

A. Bell lifted a man with his cellular geodesic kites.

In any event, I hope my dream does come true one day. :) Cheers!
> The point of the OP was that work is generally more valuable to society than capital gains

Is it though? Capital build a better future. It's more forward thinking than just working.

For instance, I want my children to forgo working and build capital for their future by getting an education. The foregone income would pay back more in the long run.
This is a great idea. Have you considered moving into the closely related field of localization? If your managing copy all the time then you also have to manage it in different languages. There could be a lot more you can do with that...
Well, somehow the models must be monetized.

Either by giving them to the customer (Like Tesla will put them into cars) or by letting the customer interact with them via the internet (SaaS).

Either way - if the production of the models is most efficient in China, then we should see them being made in China.
Well, a lot of beauty products sell themselves by making people feel ugly, security products by making people feel fearful, and so on.

Some people find that perilously close to breaking someone's window then charging them to fix it.
>It puts a lot of pressure on the IDE to search the entire code base, and you end up with types you don't even care about. It clearly shows that the golang authors did not have IDEs in mind when writing the language, which is just absurd as it's supposedly a language designed for "programming in the large". Anyone who used "goland" knows what I'm talking about. Try refactoring a type, and have the IDE scan the entire code base to look for comment strings, which it has to because golang has no notion of doc strings like Java or C#.

Even if this was the case years ago - it is not now with an LSP.
How is searching painful? It's gotten better with almost every year.

I only see this sentiment here on HN, along with many other shitty takes about how pure the internet used to be. Are you talking about that era when opening the wrong search result would bombard your screen with millions of popups and install 20 toolbars on your machine?

Please tell me when this magical time of no spam in search results existed? 1995?
I'm afraid I don't trust their unspecified 'cash equivalents' which are mostly not cash or anything close. So I think the title is justified and not in any way a distortion of their position. Here is some more detail on the breakdown and this unspecified 'commercial paper':

https://amycastor.com/2021/05/13/tethers-first-breakdown-of-...

Personally if they don't break down what those assets are, I wouldn't trust it's not just 'cryptocurrency assets' rebranded as cash.
I've done sales engineering, and usually the way I closed deals was by honestly finding solutions to client problems, not by dramatizing them.

Perhaps it's the use of the word "agitate" -- but it does seem manipulative.

They kind of are. I mean, the hierarchical structure is mostly fictional. In git any fork is as valid as any other. This is very much unlike any SVN setup. Any of those forks could conceivably become the main one, if the former official repo died, or somebody just started developing their fork faster.
Yeah. And I'm also thinking about the value you give to the world, you know. Like these photo filter apps. How do they improve our life here on Earth.

They rather have negative effects I would say: like a bad impact on teenager's self esteem or something like that.

But yeah, it's our society and it's values :)

From what I have seen supporting one browser is easier and maybe more sane for the IT department. I've seen chrome standard but certain employees get IE 7,8,9,10,11 and they use it for everything.

You are moving the goalpost. The whole comment thread is about how humans that had a harder upbringing could be more resilient to mental breakdown for long-term interplanetary colonization. A cat would not be a relevant organism to study to answer this question.

That has nothing to do with this the FBI presumably cannot enforce security on a company.

Maybe for some industries they need to start mandating Security Clearances and background checks and no outsourcing of certain critical systems work.
It's not the computer that's the problem, it's the IT policy.

Our Asian enterprise customers use IE11 by a staggering majority, even with Edge installed on their machine.
This is a major point - a high speed rail between Chicago and MSP would allow travel between those two points - but more importantly it would allow commuting travel from points in-between.

If you build the rails well, you can run both express service (which skips stops to maintain higher speed) and local service (which stops at most or all stations).

I believe the way to solve some of this would be to attack it from multiple directions:

1. Require that future highway construction be "rail-ready" - i.e., leave room and have curves that are friendly to adding rail to the highway corridor in the future.

2. Develop local rail corridors that are "high-speed-rail-ready" - as a connection between two large cities is mainly of interest to a few, but commuter rail to the nearest large city is more obviously valuable. And if designed right it can be made for commuting but still be curved, etc correctly to allow higher speed trains if/when it's finally connected through.

That mostly seems correct, but Zig will be an interesting one to watch due to the approach of having powerful compiletime execution. I.e. Zig doesn't have generics in the traditional sense, but you can get them by writing normal code which creates types for you at compiletime. The promise would be that you can get more advanced features without adding complexity to the language, i.e. like in Rust where you have to basically understand the AST in depth to be able to write macros. We'll see if it pans out.

Also for instance Go has been able to stay relevant while staying very small. Complex languages can help with complex projects if there is a good program structure, but one advantage of simple languages is there is only so much of a mess which can be made if developers go a bit off the reservation.
Speaking of Sapolsky - his lectures from his Human Behavioral Biology course at Stanford are on youtube and they are fantastic.
Exactly. Many people have never heard of these chemicals or don't care for a variety of reasons.

For example, my wife doesn't care if something might be harmful (and doesn't do any research to find out) if it's convenient. Nonstick cookware was standard at her house growing up. She complains about our current pans (stainless and cast iron). I try to explain to her about the risks and get her to watch a documentary about it. She won't watch documentaries because she finds them boring.

Her mother has the same general approach - doesn't investigate anything and favors convenience. Her stance is that the government wouldn't approve things if they were dangerous (specifically nonstick, fragrance chemicals, and fabric softeners). Even when the government does recommend an action, she isn't paying enough attention to know about it (the FDA recommends older, like 2013 or something, nonstick pans be thrown away).

I hope that people like this wake up to the warnings. Unfortunately, I think the convenience and government trust is really a mindset and lifestyle. After all, it is easier to believe that someone else is looking out for you so you don't even have to think about things for yourself.
> The people trying to sell products have every incentive to lie and mislead potential consumers.

Absolutely not, unless your business model relies on single sales.

In functioning organizations with actual products, marketing and sales are advocacy functions for the customer as much as they are revenue functions for the business. They're how you know what to make and who to target.

Because they can do it and because its currently illegal to operate without a person in the drivers seat.

Most cars it's never been a worry because the vehicle would crash immediately when someone moved to the back seat, so if someone attempted this they had a death wish anyway.

Now, we are in a transition phase where cars aren't fully self driving but they have features they take some control over which gives people a false sense of confidence, and Tesla is the worst offender here.

If there is a feature that reliably prevents a Civic from striking a person, you can bet it should be included on every new vehicle. Look at rear view cameras - rarely seen 10 years ago and they are now required by law on new cars in the US because they have proven to greatly enhance the safety of pedestrians.

The legislation hasn't caught up with the tech here - it will soon enough.
This whole discussion reminds me of work we did in the early 80's trying to convert typesetting tapes into TeX/Metafont for display/printing. One the things we tried was converting scanned images into rectangles which could then be typeset by TeX using 'rules' of various sizes. Another approach was to convert the scans into specialized fonts, either whole or in contiguous chunks that could be assembled.
You don't need infosec staff to know that you should have backups of the data on your important computers/servers.

Being hit by ransomware is not an indicator of total IT incompetence.

Having no good options but to pay the ransom absolutely is.

All ransomware is doing is exposing the existing hope-based DR plans (that is to say, lack thereof) in the industry.
The problem is that most people don't want hard sci-fi, so no hard sci-fi movies get made (although some are falsely advertised as hard sci-fi, as someone else mentioned), and the small number of hard sci-fi fans (like me) are annoyed they have nothing to watch. Saying "soft sci-fi can be good too" doesn't help much.
