"Many years later we asked our customers whether they wished us to provide an option to switch off these checks in the interests of efficiency on production runs. Unanimously, they urged us not to--they already knew how frequently subscript errors occur on production runs where failure to detect them could be disastrous. I note with fear and horror that even in 1980, language designers and users have not learned this lesson. In any respectable branch of engineering, failure to observe such elementary precautions would have long been against the law."

I can relate to other remarks or papers from memory safe systems programming all the way back to 1961, when Burroughs B5500 was released.

Yet many keep not paying attention, like Microsoft bosting 70% memory corruption issues on one side, while selling Azure Sphere security pitch having only C as available language, or bosting the use of C++ on WinUI, among many other examples.

Well, no flaw in the argument I think, but for me it hints at those publicly funded healthcare systems being heavily influenced by the privately held Pharmas.
Yeah and also when their methodology was simply asking 44 women. It is not as if they measured the performance of men and then compared that to whether they where promoted or not. No, they merely asked 44 women.

This was historically the case, it's why despite the article calling out winver, folder properties, the run dialog as being from the win9x -> win2k period, they didn't look remotely as out of place in win7 as win10.

Of course there are limits. iirc Windows 7 RTM had an obviously 3.1 derived file picker make it into the add fonts dialog until it was replaced in SP1 if my memory has the timing right. Despite using win32 widgets which had the correct theming, that didn't look native at all

MA resident as well, what worries me more is that someone thought that this method of installation was a good idea and even more worrying is that they were also able to execute on it. It feels rather shady and nefarious the lack of public announcement on it. Shenanigans like this how you get the populace to trust the local government less, which is the last thing this country needs.
Your argument is sound. It is however, built on one glaring assumption: the people in charge of the publicly funded healthcare systems are primarily incentivized to find cheap and safe treatments for the illness.

I think when you look at the selective medicare payments, the ventilator contracts, and the price of the 'recommended' patent-drugs like Remdisivir... it quickly becomes apparent that our public incentive structure is profoundly broken.

I block but they keep on coming. Now, I think I'd rather the person who was responsible for these SMSs to have my phone number than a freaking app running on my phone, especially an app that was basically snuck on without consent.

Colonialism has historically not worked out well for the colonized people.

If you mean incorporating Philippines into USA and giving them full citizenship, voting rights, and representation in the House/Senate, that's something I might find more agreeable. But I suspect most people who are pro-colonization would hate the idea of locals being given voting rights in the mainland.

> real name of the city in Kazakh was always "Almaty"

Originally it used to be Alma Ata which then became Almatı. This kind of transformation is common in Turkic languages.

Ata does mean father or forefather or grandfather. It is also used in the sense of "ancestor" in a similar sense.

In that sense, it is like көке (köke) which is derived from the word "root". It is not used in Turkey like that, but any Turk would understand why it means "father".
It's kinda hilarious/sad that MS Office essentially developed their own UI framework which, as I understand it, was unavailable even for other teams in Microsoft, so stuff like ribbons and "advanced" pop up menus got reinvented even inside Microsoft, not to mention countless times outside Microsoft.

So much of this is self-inflicted on the part of Microsoft.

An excerpt:

> While Android users can, in theory, opt to turn off Google Play Services, users of the Covid-19 contact-tracing app in Ireland cannot turn the surveillance off if they want the contact-tracing app to work. This means the collection and use of this data is unavoidable for people who wish to use the app.

> The data shared includes long-term, unchangeable identifiers of the phone users, including their phone’s IP address, WiFi MAC address, International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, SIM serial number, phone number and Gmail address, as well as fine-grained data from other, potentially sensitive apps, such as banking, dating or health apps. This is data which, when considered together, has the potential to draw a very detailed map of our lives and activities.

This story was posted to HN last year, and received a tiny fraction of the upvotes of the story promoting the Irish / Google / Apple app's privacy features. Which would explain why you are downvoted, despite having been proven correct well over a year ago.

> You're using the Soviet bastardization of the name.

I am genuinely curious about how the name Alma Ata which consists of two Turkic words and which how I was taught in school when I was growing up in Turkey is the "Soviet bastardization".

Update: Hmmm ... Wikipedia article also seems to indicate that it was Soviet thing to call it Alma Ata:

> The name Almaty has its roots in the medieval settlement Almatu, that existed near the present-day city.[10] A disputed theory holds that the name is derived from the Kazakh word for 'apple' (алма), and is often translated as "full of apples". Originally it was Almatau which means Apple Mountain. The Russian version of the name was Alma-Ata (Kaz. Father of Apples). Since gaining its independence from the Soviet Union, the use of the Kazakh Almaty is accepted.
I think it's not surprising that it had (and probably still has) positive connotations to many people, because "tough love" sounds like something most people employ sometimes - from a parent enforcing bedtimes to a friend telling another friend that they're being an asshole in some way. I think what clicked for the majority of people was the idea that loving someone doesn't mean saying yes to their every whim, rather than anything extreme.
I really don’t think this intentionally provocative and clickbait title (and content) is HN material.
John Backus won the Turing award in 1977 and gave a Turing Award Lecture with the same title. I was in the audience and it made a big impression on me. I had just finished my Masters degree in computer science and had decided to work for a few years before returning to grad school for more.

It was an interesting time to be in CS. To be fair, CS has remained interesting to me to this day. But back then, right out of school, I felt like I knew something about almost every area of CS, maybe not much but at least something. So everything seemed possible.

The field has become so large that even after a lifetime of working and studying in the field of CS, even a modest understanding of one slice of CS is all we can hope for. Nevertheless, it stays fascinating.
> In any case, the way they did this is creepy. There was no icon for the app; I had to look in Settings/Apps & Notifications to find it. And neither the official state press releases nor the few local news stories about it mention that the app was installed without notice. They use vague, lawyerly language about how it can be "enabled".

This incident and your comment reminded me of a story Bezos mentioned in his interview about the time Amazon deleted 1984 from kindle. The analogy he made makes me wonder how can we compare what happened here to what Amazon did..

I work for a hosting provider. Windows exists and it's used for corporate infrastructure, but the vast majority of actual applications and support services are running on Red Hat, CentOS or Ubuntu.

Windows trends to be reserved for AD, jump hosts (much to my chagrin, I prefer SSH), virtual desktops and stuff that end-users access, because user management is where Windows is still ahead.

I suppose in small businesses they will have all the user management bits but no need for more than one or two "real" servers, so it doesn't matter if it's Windows too.

In bulk, Linux servers are much easier to manage though and since most application platforms will work just fine if not better on Linux, it's just the sensible choice unless you have something specific that requires Windows. Generally easier licensing certainly does not hurt.

The fact that on any Linux distribution you get trivial, easily-managed access to thousands of software packages free of licensing worries out-of-the-box makes for a large advantage over Windows where the concept of using a package manager and central repository seems to be a fairly new thing and you have to set everything up yourself or just deal with developers and users installing random crap from who knows where because by default there's no better option. There's also the fact that Linux server software tends not to have GUIs because servers are headless by default, which also makes them easier to manage once you run out of fingers to count them.
Metro/fluent apps always look "broken" to me. Like someone forgot to add styling and that's why a bunch of stuff ends up with some kind of default 3px solid black border. Transient popups (e.g. drop-downs) have some kind of shadow but it just looks weird and broken. Clicking on "cards" (I believe that's what they're called, e.g. a program in the new software manager) animates them but it just looks completely broken and blurry. Windows are resizable but in most cases it seems like the app isn't using an layout, so the contents don't adjust to match. It all feels a lot like a broken webpage in a standalone window. Including no/bad error handling, infinitely hanging indeterminate progress displays, lack of keyboard usability etc.

That being said the Windows 10 Win32 styling looks horrendous to me as well. Like BS_FLAT in Windows XP, it never looked good, not in 2005, not in 2021.

Your symptoms sound exactly like the issues I was having - everything was "right" (in theory) - emails were leaving on the right IPv4, that had the correct PTR, etc etc. I just couldn't figure out what was wrong.

It was the same issue - even replies to existing threads had the issue. What got me looking into it more closely was that I had no issues delivering to G Suite tenants; it was only issues with 365 tenants.

I wonder if there's a non-trivial correlation between people choosing to genuinely self-host their own mail, and those who use plaintext outbound mail by default (and know what that means).

Mailcow is a great system. I use it and I love it.

But it's a total mess. So many different components glued together, so much that can go wrong. The configuration is scattered into hundreds of files. There is no clear split between the product and user-configuration. To change some settings, you need to make adjustments in the core product (the config files that hold everything together).

Replacing a lot of components with Maddy would probably make projects like mailcow way slimmer.

>and home users only got the ability to pass through a subset of consumer-level nVidia GPUs (which IIRC doesn't apply to laptops, so you're still stuck there)

That's not quite correct any longer. Nvidia now supports passthrough on all consumer GPUs that work with their current driver. This also includes laptops with Nvidia chips and they've been actively fixing bugs and compatibility problems in every driver release since then.

Before official support the Nvidia kernel driver just crashed Windows with a BSOD on my laptop. Then it suddenly worked, but I wasn't able to open the control panel and worse, the HDMI output didn't work. The driver after that fixed those problems. The only things still not working are voltage and power monitoring, although temps work.

Additionally, and I know this is a special case, performance is actually better than on bare metal. The reason is that in a VM I can inject a modded VBIOS with higher power limits and that gives me a nice 15-20% boost. I can't do that on bare metal because the VBIOS is stored in the system firmware and accessed via an ACPI method by the driver. Sadly only signed firmware can be flashed directly and even a flash programmer wouldn't help because at boot the firmware is verified and overwritten by a clean if it doesn't pass. This doesn't matter for desktop chips, but on a laptop you can actually get way more FPS if the power limits are ridiculously low by default! In my case I went from 30W or so to 75W (PCIe limit) and even though clocks stayed the same, games ran much faster. I guess it was hitting power limits and throttled, but didn't down lock because clocks only depend on voltage and available voltage level on temperature. I also ever saw power limits (via AfterBurner OSD) in furmark, but apparently it was also limited in other workloads without indicating it. With the modded VBIOS I don't even see power limits in furmark. It's either voltage or temps.
What were some examples of bs content and over-wrought artistry that they posted about. I don't say this to start a flame war or to come back at you, I genuinely would like to hear your opinion in more detail.
To share one trick I found (after you've done all the DKIM/SPF/DMARC/PTR things others point out), if you still have deliverability issues to Microsoft 365 tenants, it is worth sending mail as HTML rather than plain text.

I have no idea why that helps (well, I could guess that some spam heuristic thinks plaintext email without an accompanying HTML envelope is more likely to be spam), but changing this took me from near-constant "your email went to spam" to no issues sending even things that actually look spammy (i.e. an email just containing a link that might be of interest to the recipient)
That's because it's polynomial commitment based on pairing-based cryptography (elliptic curves) but there are schemes based on hash functions (FRI) that are quantum secure.

The main advantage of pairings is that you can have constant-size commitments.

When growing up as a teenage male, there was a turning point in my mental development. I was sitting in class cracking jokes when this jerk kid stood up and punched me in the back of the head. I didn't know how to respond, so I just sat there. I was an out of shape kid who would have definitely lost.

That event changed me. In the weeks and months ahead, anger and shame in my response led to a focused and intentional mental and physical development. I started exercising, eating better, and learning how to fight. I developed social responses that helped me become better respected and less manipulated, and changed from a rotund pushover to a normal male.

Our society has changed massively over the decades, and one of the biggest changes I've seen is that it's become significantly more feminized, but I think it's important to acknowledge that some things that work for feminine young women won't necessarily work for masculine young men. I think that tough love programs exist because many men who go there and run the place went through similar experiences as me. If the stress is handled adaptively and not maladaptively, it can be a motivator for positive change while dealing with our weaknesses.
