Tape backups are ok but still mean significant operational downtime because recovery from tape is slow. This is better for long term data storage than rapid recovery.

For recovery, you need more accessible backups. And to test your backup plan.
Of course. That's what I was saying. It boggles my mind how something that basic is so hard in other apps.
I tried for ProtonDB for the 5 most games I play since a few months now: Cyberpunk 2077, PUBG, Doom: Eternal, Disco Elysium, Apex Legends with friends.

On those 5 games, 3 do not work at all, and Doom: Eternal keeps crashing every 15 minutes with the two latest builds.

I am sorry but the "You click on play and the game does run." is definitely not true, except if you are playing famous old games (mainly supported by Valve) like Portal, CS, ...
That is far from the only word that sounds almost the same in French and Spanish, but with a lot of silent letters in the French spelling.
Wouldn't be surprising since spatial memory would be one if not the first recalling system for survival.. piggybacking on it for abstraction would be structurally efficient.

It adds up to significant unnecessary suffering. It’s clear to me that doing, e.g., human challenge vaccine trials was a much more cost-effective measure (nowadays just get the bloody vaccine and be done with pandemic), and masks are just a weak band-aid for which I have not seen much more evidence since the Slatestarcodex review (which called CDC on its bullshit very early: masks probably help a bit, but not much, and the evidence is weak either way), and they are being used first and foremost as a political signaling and psychological comfort device (remember the whole “masks more effective than vaccines” rhetoric).
I am with you but I don't think anybody deliberately makes software shitty per se. It's more like "not my damned problem" and everybody picks a framework or a library for basic stuff and piles them on top of one another.
What platform do you use ? Is it all run from home ?
even if people cared a lot, you think they’d get presidential primary candidates that they want? or a vice president that they want? these things are faze choices.
People will always perfer the guided cage of illusory safety constructed by government over the messy unpredictable chaos of freedom....

how little human beings really care about mass surveillance is just one in the long line of truths that prove that most of the population prefer perceived safety over liberty
That would confirm that it was sent from an Apple controlled email server. Then you would have to confirm that Apple does not allow a sender to spoof the "From:" address to "noreply@apple.com" somehow.

Inefficacy of masks is a central point in anti-maskers message, and sometimes they would cite you the whole passages from official WHO/CDC advisories. And the belated reversal is just an additional point to "scientists don't know shit" attitude.

No, yeah it did tremendous damage. While there'd certainly be anti maskers without anti-mask hysteria by authorities, the scale would not be the same. It's hard to quantify but likely many tens of thousands of excess deaths globally are on WHO lies.
Yes, but you get to choose when you pull the chute, whereas if you lose say, your elevator control, You don't get any choices here.
The people who would be hurt by such an increase, absent already-in-place assistance, constitute the vast majority of people. And, unfortunately, nobody is helped by "can be dealt with" -- the policies to prevent their pain, and to prevent disadvantaged folks from being disproportionately impacted by such an increase, need to be in place before the increase.

The reason, which is likely apparent to both of us and everyone reading this, is that such assistance would likely never be put in place, and the only help ordinary folks will have in the event of such an increase is wishful thinking.

Hm, I just move them on my laptop from ~/Phone/DCIM/ to ~/Pictures/fromPhone/ (where only the first dir is synced with the phone). I can't go through stuff on my phone and move from there, but I find it faster to go through pictures and videos on my laptop anyway …
I am interested as well. I can't seem to find a decent end-to-end article on this.
yes, it's roughly comparable to

{
let x = return;
f(x)
}

where the call to f is clearly happening after an unconditional return.

A slightly more practical example might be something like

f(if blah() { 42 } else { return })

which works out to, roughly,

{
let x;
if blah() {
x = 42;
} else {
return;
}
f(x)
}

To get realistic, if you write

f(g()?)

you basically get

f(match g() {
Ok(x) => x,
Err(e) => return Err(e),
})

which is how rust does error propagation without exceptions and without constantly repeating a golang-style mantra.
Scala Native and GraalVM Native Image are projects with different goals, so I wouldn't say that one makes the other unnecessary.

Both projects aim to compile to native code, and have use-cases for projects where the JVM startup time is too high. However, one of the main goals of Native Image is to offer as much partial evaluation (PE) at compile-time as possible. Scala Native does also seem to do some PE, but my understanding is that it's less than what Native Image does. However, Scala Native has the advantage of working on a representation of the source code instead of the byte code, and may therefore be able to do certain Scala-specific optimizations that would be more difficult for Native Image.

I think different projects may find that either one or the other project may be more suitable to their needs, so I think both projects can coexist.
Curious, how is that a less good UX?

That seems exactly like what customers want — just when you share things publicly it goes to a separate public sandbox? It should be fairly trivial to obfuscate
It's sad that people still think any of this will happen. We're well past the point of no return, we've chosen to just live with it (or die from it). Time to buy a house on a hill or move to Canada.

There is a political duopoly in this country that has a democracy-murdering stranglehold and barely anyone is aware of it.
The upsides may come. The downsides will come.

I am pessimistic on this one.
The wording in the article is imprecise with regard to the number of working parts, but everybody knows that motors move things so your point is needlessly pedantic.
That’s fair, my point is just that it’s a valid source of anxiety.

And it’s not just my own parents. Like 30% of the US seems like they are not going to get a vaccine any time soon, and I worry that the guidance critically depends on the assumption that unvaccinated people will still mask up and distance. I don’t think it’s a very good assumption (would love to be proven wrong), and I don’t know what that means for the public health outlook of this new guidance.
I think preventing breaches is a losing battle. There will always be new vulnerabilities.

You can practice things that make recovery fast and reduce the impact of breaches though. Isolate data, encrypt it, only grant necessary access, have robust backups and test recovery regularly. These things take time and money though, and most companies are unwilling to do them sufficiently.
You’d think these attacks would be worth some tit for tat. If people and companies were physically raided by groups, the govt would likely take action. I’m not sure what the difference is. (And to those saying it’s not international law, that’s just made up anyways so I’m not sure why that’d matter now).
People sell stuff from their gardens at local markets on weekends and always have, some are quite productive.

People keep their tools in their garage and that's where they make stuff, like the local wooden toymaker here. It's his "microfactory" and he has 50+ (articulated, stained-in-multiple-colors, interesting and varied in type) on display every weekend for sale, quantity enough to justify the haughty "factory" label for his garage, I'd say.

MANY retirees live in rather nice, well-maintained trailer parks, the only difference between their trailer park and a tiny house village is the exterior cladding. Theirs might even cost more.

Don't buy the hype. These things aren't actually different.
How do you know that this outcome was not the desired endgame for the creators. It wasn't as if they were harassed to sell.

Lastly, which "we" are you referring to?

He tried with Tesla shares in 2018, but found out it is actually illegal:

So now he is doing it with crypto knowing it is not illegal.
> If the attackers are acting under the protection or tacit approval of a foreign government then you can bet that somewhere, someone is prepping a policy paper for kenetic responses.

You could but you probably would lose that bet. This has been done for decades now, especially between friendly countries (see https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/eu-mi6-brexit...) without any sort of repercussion.

Diplomatic posturing aside ("We will treat any intrusion attempt on our networks as an agression"), literally no government actually wants to go to war over a hack.

> Given the recent pipeline issue and its national security implications I am not going to be surprised at all if some hackers in Russia end up dead from 'accidents' that are so obviously not accidents that no one is fooled.

This is even more nonsensical. Certainly governments would benefit way more from hiring those hackers and/or buying vulns from them than killing them. Especially in less-friendly countries like Russia.
Oh boy, that ever useful boogeyman

>“In December 2019, the Washington Post reported that Elbakyan was being investigated by the US Justice Department on suspicion that she “may” be working with Russian intelligence to “steal U.S. military secrets...”

When you start trotting that out, you know it’s a witch-hunt because if they had real reasons they’d have stated them, since they don’t they offer vague insinuations couched with ten ton weasel words like may and suspicion...

But now they “have cause” and that’s all they need to go to town on her.

And whatever happened to Apple who refused to work with FBI on the San Bernardino shooter but here is only happy to comply in a much less interesting case?
So I guess my hesitation is, if my body has already been keyed by the original virus, had a terrible viral load (was positive for longer than I ever imagined), but very few symptoms...

Yep. :) Though I often laugh at the thought of seniors using a cutting edge JS framework.

I don't think so, especially not in Ohio - a lot of folks (rural especially based on my social feeds) are not planning on getting vaccinated, but I think this actually has a chance of getting them to do it.

I been playing around with an RPI4 and have been getting interested in graphics programming on Wayland. Unfortunately efforts to get Wayland running under the RPI have stalled due to the difficulty in working with the Broadcom chip.

Hi Dan, wondering if this thread should be merged in: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27143545
I've seen those sorts of things in other languages, though they're often accompanied by explanatory comments, if not a separate document. Given that these appear to be in a test suite for Rust itself, I'm surprised that these aren't explained in the code (at least as far as I saw)
"Do you want to develop an app?"
For curious people unfamiliar with the situation with this: Rust cares about backwards-compatibility so that you should still be able to compile code from 2015 in 2042 (some libraries are just stable!), but it also wants to allow certain changes to the language that you might think would be backwards-incompatible. Each crate (library) declares an edition, and the compiler follows the rules of that edition, and then you can link all the different crates together without worrying what edition they were written in. Editions are limited in what they can change, because things like traits are shared between crates, so they can’t be changed in editions; it’s mostly syntactic stuff, like the 2018 edition making async/await keywords and making dyn a full (rather than conditional) keyword.
Not sure about facebook, but google used to(no longer use them) warn me about location change(SMS and e-mail to secondary account).
What's barbaric is the attitude of folks who require an incentive like this to do the right thing and get vaccinated.
It looks that the majority of recent ransomware is stealing and publishing private data, instead of blocking access to data. So DLP like solutions are required in addition to posture management.

> Labour neither opposed Brexit nor advocated for a second referendum during the 2019 GE campaign though.

Yes they did. From their party manifesto[1]:

> Within three months of coming to power, a Labour government will secure a sensible deal. And within six months, we will put that deal to a public vote alongside the option to remain.

Large numbers of voters switched from Labour to Conservative because of Brexit. It's probably fair to count all Labour voters from that election as "not in favour of Brexit".

Now this is interesting — we need to run a study of “long Covid” symptoms after vaccination.

Personally, I fared ok - so I’ve got to consider the cost benefit (cost in terms of disrupting my current state)

Bumble founder disagreed.

From the article above:

"Match, which owns another popular dating app and Bumble competitor, Tinder, is suing Bumble for violating two patents and for allegedly stealing trade secrets.

It was a lawsuit made all the more intriguing considering Match wants to acquire Bumble;"
True, the definition of nation state is a bit vague. I'm pretty sure a ransomware group is not included in it though.
Those laws are fixed norms against doing concrete bad things. A norm of listening to any bullshit some authority figure spouses is not a fixed norm, but a meta-norm to respect any new norms created by that authority.

My media consumption is also extremely limited, and comes almost exclusively from left-centrist (HN top posts, Techmeme) sources.
There is definitely some creativity involved in programming tasks, and meticulous calculus when writing fiction as well.

Deciding how to structure your code is half logic and half aesthetics, the fact that we spend a large chunk of our time refactoring, i.e. switching around pieces of code so that the code does the same thing is a testament to this.

More broadly, I feel like "X is like Y"-type articles are somewhat of a Rorschach test. Things we are experienced at are by definition things we spent a lot of time doing. It's inevitable one will try to self-reflect and draw parallels.

I strongly disagree. When building a software product for humans, the first question I ask is "how should it feel?". In the end, this is the only thing that matters. The "feel" summarizes all "technical" aspects too - correctness, reliability etc. While developing a product, I never stop asking.
Yes I agree that is pretty much purely UI issues. I don't want the paradigm to change. I guess I could have made that a bit more clear in my initial post.
Monopolies aren’t hostile takeovers.

It’s companies buying competitors for market dominance with no regulatory pushback that’s the issue.
What Is Jaro-Winkler Similarity?
You are justifying a system with the system itself. Why does it have to be hard to access capital? Worse that hard, why is there a very very tiny number of (undemocratic, unaccountable) people deciding who gets to access capital?

Why couldn't we think of a more democratic way of allocating credit/capital/finance to people and businesses?

Hmmmm... I wonder how you would avoid the expressions from being evaluated without wrapping then in a function (sorry if it's a lame question, I haven't done any JS in years).

Not that there is anything wrong with lambdas, but it's quite a los of boilerplate for something as simole as a cond.
I think Roam has been fully collaborative since the launch. The browser keeps the whole database in IndexedDB and syncs it continuously with a WebSocket streaming Datomic-style transactions.
It's interesting that you actually conduct the "date" through the app itself, which makes it a true dating app, rather than a match making app.

Thank you! Do you know why they were looking to replace Stubby with gRPC? It doesn't seem to me that gRPC is quite customizable enough currently to hook in all the monitoring and tooling that I imagine Google has.

And yes, the completion queue approach is pretty cumbersome, would be very interesting to see how stubby went about it :P
High end tape reads sequentially faster than a typical spinning HDD, so it should be possible to design for rapid full restores. Rapid restores of specific files (e.g. to recover from accidental deletion) would be slow from tape though, so are probably best served by online snapshots rather than the DR backup.
Yes - no matter how actually effective the use of (surgical) masks is - it is a symbol.

You see all people around you wearing masks, you wear a mask, these simple facts act as reminder that it is a pandemy, that you have to be careful about what you do (keep distance where possible, etc.) besides wearing the mask in itself.

Soon you will see lots of other poeople around you not wearing masks and you have no way to know if they are actually vaccinated (and probably in this case you are "safe") or if they are simply not wearing the mask because they ignore the recommendation or don't believe in masks or whatever (but they are not actually vaccinated so potentially "unsafe" if they come near you).
I guess it would be easy to build a pump with it that has no moving parts.

Restricting religion and regulating a factory are pretty different. The first runs directly afoul of the constitution, while the second is clearly within the purview of regulators and public health officials.

I was thinking of Jacobson v Massachusetts in my original comment, which upheld state and local governments' broad authority in public health.

Here's a balanced view of the powers affirmed in Jacobson and how that has changed over time to better protect individual liberty: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1449224/

Note however that applies to individuals, not factories or places of business which are subject to much more regulation.
Building on the more practical example, this sort of conditional early return is extremely common in Rust, because expression-orientation makes it very pleasant to use. Here’s a sketch of some of the sorts of ways it can happen in state machine:

loop {
// …
state = match state {
A => B, // normal
B => break, // exits the loop
C => { …; continue; }, // does something and then returns to the start of the loop, skipping setting the state and anything else
D => return, // exits the whole thing
E => f()?, // if f() returns an Err or None or similar, it’ll return early
};
// …
}
This seems to assume that existing captchas are much better than they actually are.
