skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Typically the way these kinds of missile emplacements work is that first the ships are spotted with a command/radar unit, which then tries to categorise the ships based on their radar "signature" - in this case signature is literal, in the sense that each class of ship and sometimes even within classes has a unique radar reflaction that can be detected. Most major millitaries over the years of shadowing each other have built up databases of each other's craft including radar signatures from every angle. This is then used to prioritise targets and decide on an attack profile - so it's unlikely it would accidentally be launched at say a destroyer. They then send this plan to their missiles which all start their attack independantly, using their onboard radars to follow the target. The usual countermeasures to this like I mentioned involve using chaff, which is little bits of metal foil that are launched into a cloud in the sky, which presents as a big cloud on the enemies radar behind which the missiles cannot see. This is where manouvering may be used, if the missile momentarily cannot see then you may be able to avoid it. However with swarm attacks, which is how these missiles will almost certainly be deployed at least against a target as valuble as a carrier, they come from several directions which makes deploying chaff and/or manouvering very difficult.

I don't claim it's some secret that only china has or anything like that - the US and several other countries have deployed them as well. Its just that the vulnerability of carrier groups to them necessitates a shift in naval strategy closer to "fleet in being" - essentially that capital ships are too valuble to risk losing so are restricted in where they can operate because they are more valuble as a deterrrent than they would be actually fighting - which reduces power projection ability of carriers, similar to what the early 20th century did to battleships

I miss text that would just wrap along the length of the window. Using Github always infuriates me because I have a nice, wide macbook screen, yet they force code to be displayed in a text box that uses maybe 1/3 of my screen width
Tbh I think this sort of thinng would be harder today, if you took away the internet "for a night", because pop culture is now much more fragmented than it was back then.

They aren't actually dictating anything though. Employers are still in charge of their policies. These employees are just stating their terms and leaving if their terms aren't met. Companies can then choose their response. They can hire other workers who are willing to work in an office or they can cave to worker demands or some other compromise can be made.

This is free society functioning how it's supposed to: free agents negotiating their terms and coming to mutually beneficial arrangements.

I like documentation that starts with a minimal but functional example, followed by the most common additions to improve the solution and finally a complete documentation of all functions.

Having links to actual code, like GoDocs have it, is something I appreciate too.
The Geometric Algebra viewpoint is much nicer, more natural and encompasses more.
Sidetone. The essential hardware feature that Blue Yeti and few others get right. I've had one on my wish list for a while.

On the main topic, as a boomer who suffered through office work for decades (the dictation system in my first job was a DictaBelt, and electronic forms were what the secretaries stored on their IBM Selectrics), going 100% remote 12 years ago was the greatest productivity boost I've experienced since my first work PC (which I built from parts sourced at Jameco Electronics... in 1988).

There is _no_ way I'll ever return to an office, with all the distractions (we used to call them "drive-bys") and already mentioned ergonomic barriers. My manager is a genx who is fully behind remote work, but there are lots of late boomer and genx execs who are really uncomfortable with it for a load if reasons -- including that it denies them opportunities to intimidate through physical presence (never a problem I experienced personally, mostly because those same sorts of managers tend to be intimidated by age, experience and credentials).

I find it ironic that so many execs who now lament the loss of "collaboration" weren't voicing those concerns a couple of decades ago during the massive push to outsource and offshore. I know from personal experience that collaborating remotely is not only possible, but often superior to in-office -- as I think dozens of my colleagues across a couple of oceans who I worked some pretty difficult technical issues with would attest.
Most people's commutes are spent sitting in a car.

Even listening to an audiobook or podcast is such a passive thing it's hard to call it "doing" something.

I usually think in silence, and alone.
Some places don't allow you to bring in your own equipment, and there is an approved list of equipment that you can buy from.

So unless the item is listed on that list, you are SOL.
The urge to smoke does go away in my experience. Now i don’t ever think about it. The physical addiction only lasts a few weeks but is super intense; the only thing that took the urge away was exercise. The psychological addiction took years with many relapses. I was hooked again within days of “just one”. This too does pass!!
I think it's definitely scary. How is this even legal? In what world is it OK for Amazon to co-opt my internet connection and share it with random passers-by? Even if it's only 80kbps and 500MB/month (as another commenter pointed out), this will be just the beginning if they get their way. It will set a precedent for them and others. And they know that most people won't notice or care enough to turn it off! This is just disgusting arrogance from Amazon.
Also people don't realize how important blinking is. Any camera system that is not thoroughly self cleaning is going to have significant problems after a relatively short period of time. We don't have cameras built to withstand the elements day-after-day like our eyeballs.
> So is Perl, just in different places.

Dunno, I think glue languages like perl are inherently easier to replace than platform languages. And perl was only best at being a glue language for a very short period in 90s.
This is a classic cognitive bias. People with political passions perceive HN as being slanted to the opposite politics. Many examples here:

As a kid who grew up with a father who worked from home, I will say I loved it, though. I knew I shouldn't bother him much while he's working... but I could if I really needed to, and he was around if something important happened. His flexible working conditions also meant he could be a part of everything and take you places and then you'd want to do something he'd find boring and he'd just say "I'll sit on this bench, come get me when you're done" and he'd put in a half hour of work in the middle of nowhere as he could (his job also was for a company half a world away, and so he didn't really need to be in contact with them constantly--pre-Internet--or work very specific hours). So like... it might be a bit harder on you--particularly when the kid is young enough to not understand "work"--but I feel incredibly lucky that my father did that (and like, he actually was gone three months of the year to work for that company "in the office"... but I still feel like I got much more of a father than anyone else I knew).
Not enough Hollywood involvement. I rather think of him as a 21st century Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

(Or maybe the world is simply bound to host one of them per century)
Getting my sleep apnea treated was probably one of the best choices I've ever made, but there's no denying the fact that it comes with downsides. I have to bring a machine to wherever I sleep, I have to maintain it decently, I will suffer worse sleep whenever I have no possibility of connecting the machine to electricity (i.e hiking). I will gladly use it, but I would prefer a cure over constant ongoing treatment.
No, I already had an account but it doesn't have a credit card on file.
This is the other differentiator - quality of the office. Some people seem to not have an office that is anything other than a bunch of desks put near each other.

E2E keys are not known to WhatsApp's servers, and there are no server-side WhatsApp backups, either.
Please look closely. All the commits there are tree-wide cleanups, or automated patches, documentation fixes, warning fixes, and mostly adaptations to internal kernel API changes,...

This is normal "noise" for all code inside the kernel. That's the reason why having the driver mainline is good. But try to find any other activity since the start of git history in 2005.

It doesn't show the driver is in use in the wild. The hardware might as well be extinct.

Whatever automated phone exchange is hosting the call continues hosting it, recording the agency's hangup from the call in the PBX audit logs.

If the agency has compromised the exchange, then they can overhear your EDD conversation. There would be little value to doing so, but if you're paranoid, there's certainly no way for you to be certain, so you shouldn't use the service.

W.G. Sebald – The Posthumous Sublime (2006)
Care to summarize? (I'll be honest I'm not going to listen)

Most of the articles I've seen that argue that it 'isn't scary' are along the lines of.

- It's not a lot of bandwidth.

- It seems pretty secure.

For me the concern is that if either of those become not the case, intentionally or not... that's a very bad thing.
That opens up the labor pool (heck, might as well throw in all of Latin America and the Caribbean too), but not as drastically as the entire world.
They're owned by GM now. Modern ones will be GM parts-bin cars. Going through that many GM transmissions is possible. This is why GM cars have horrible resale value and anything over 150k miles is on borrowed time.
Solving the Social Golfer Problem with Prolog
It's not just the security. It's the blatant "utilization" of the consumers' devices, bandwidth, and electricity.

What's next? How about, hey, we'll mine bitcoin while your Echo is idle.
I got rid of top tabs panel in favor of tree view, can’t imagine ever switching back.
I would assume that Amazon has looked into this problem from a legal risk perspective before doing this.

Generally, when it comes to risks, you can do 4 things:

ARAT

(a) Accept the risk

(b) Reduce the risk

(c) Avoid the risk

(d) Transfer the risk (e.g. buy insurance)

I guess they do a mix of (a) and (b), since they have deep pockets.
In the original series, the Vulcans were the Japanese, the Klingons the Soviets, and the Romulans the Chinese. The series was bathed in the politics and social struggles of the times (the late 60's).
Your comments have broken several of the site guidelines. Would you mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules when posting here? We'd be grateful. Flamewar and fulmination are two things we're trying to avoid, and going on about downvotes is a third.

Your GP comment was flamebait and unsubstantive, so it's hardly surprising that it was downvoted.
I'm pretty sure my coworkers have been using this to accomplish the reverse, and I have dabbled.

There are times when your most important work is being available. Maybe less than some managers seem to think, but it does happen. I can go make myself a complicated snack or step outside to do some yard maintenance for half an hour here and there and still be back to my desk in 5 minutes if someone actually needs me for something. At lunch time you can usually stretch that to 15 minutes, which opens up a lot of options for errands.
So many of the arguments made by pro-office people seem to boil down to "If you have a family or other non-work responsibilities, screw you"
I only want apps built with Electron or similar! Makes it easy for me to switch platforms, they get developed faster, they're easier for me to contribute to and they are infinitely more hackable.

Imagine optimizing your dev tools for battery life? As if I want to work on a single tiny screen all day...or in meetings, hotels, planes, trains...
Various use case stories...

You've got an Alexa, your neighbor has a Ring. The network goes out on your neighbor's house. The Ring can then use your Alexa provided sidewalk network to send a notification to your neighbor about a package or whatever.

Someone makes Tile like product that can use Sidewalk to track its location. The sidewalk extends its range and accuracy.

Right now, it really appears to be just Ring devices that can make use of it.

This isn't a guest Wifi that arbitrary people can connect to... though as we saw with the Apple tags, people have quickly piggybacked other data on it.

---

While I don't have any devices that extend the Sidewalk network, I've disabled it... just in case I do get one.
Thread on onboarding best practices from games
I dropped the production database thinking I was connected to the development environment. I actually remember thinking "Stupid MySQL, stop asking me to confirm, I know what I'm doing!" We had to restore from the nightly backup and the entire company lost a day's work.

At another company I took a minor marketing landing page offline when a massive burst of traffic came in (it made some expensive API calls, I thought it was a DDOS attack). Turns out it was legitimate traffic. The marketing team had done a big ad spend to generate more leads and didn't tell me. All those expensive leads got 404s.
“Privacy campaigners and doctors have raised the alarm about plans, led by the Department of Health and Social Care, to put the medical histories of more than 55 million patients into a new database where they will be made available to the private sector and other researchers.”

I'll heartily agree with this recommendation, though I have the Jabra Evolve 75. As best as I can tell it's exactly the same as the 40 with the addition of Bluetooth. I happened to pick it up in February of 2020 and it's been fantastic for my hours of daily calls.
