Agreed. In Australia, we call this tilt-panel construction, and it can look great.

This strip-shop complex in a neighbouring town was built using tilt-panel: https://thatsne.at/file/memmgd.jpeg

Just like with movies, what you need to achieve a good-looking, functional building is a competent vision holder with taste. Too many buildings have winding passages because no one with any influence thought sufficiently deeply about the day-to-day usage of the building, how it will connect with neighboring areas, how the interior will be divided later by fitouts, etc etc.
Yep, and as weird as killall on solaris is-- the naming of killall on linux is kinda weird. It's "killbyname".

I know many users have flagged this because moderator, dang, has turned off the flags for this post. I'm sure it would be off the front page by now if he had not.

I also know that after some period of relative peace, the Palestinian people allowed over (conservatively) 3,000 rockets to be fired on Israel by their militias, injuring over (conservatively) 100 and killing 10 (as reported by the Associated Press).

To me this questions the entire framing of the issues involved.

Mistrust of the CCP isn't strictly limited to "average Americans". Why should anyone trust them, given that they don't have anything close to a free press or opposition?

To be clear, you can go ahead and ban whatever accounts you’d like.

This thread is currently trending on the front page, and it’s as political as this post.

But that thread hasn’t been flagged, nor are you going out of your way to ban posters in that thread.

But the account you replied to was mine, and you’re banning me because the Israel Palestine issue seems to be censured by Hacker News.

You can just admit that instead of hiding behind site policies and guidelines. “We won’t allow criticism of Israel.” If you want to be a cog for Israeli propaganda, that’s fine. Why hide behind site guidelines and not fess to it? It’s pretty spineless and cowardly, no?

Probably not if it was overwritten (": >/bin/bash") rather than removed and recreated ("rm -f /bin/bash; : >/bin/bash"). The former will cause all processes to see the empty file, the latter would leave processes with access to the old contents.

In this case if you noticed and still had a shell, you could just copy another shell over ("cp /bin/sh /bin/bash"), to at least get back to probably able to login, until you could pull a copy from another machine or backups.

At UT Austin, undergraduate electrical and computer engineering students spend roughly the first half of the first semester building up from bits/binary to transistors to logic gates to latches and flip flops and registers. The second half of the semester finally moves on to understanding a "toy" ISA called the Little Computer 3, or LC3, and writing programs in its assembly language.

It's a much sharper and better motivated method to teach computer architecture, in my opinion.
Subor, yes. It was also the second most popular Famiclone in post soviet republics, after the Micro Genius imported under the Dendy brand. (Nintendo never sold their NES there officially so the clones flooded the market). I remember Subor's "NES with a keyboard" as well, it was a rare sight and a weird machine - no persistent memory, little RAM, yet programmable in a BASIC dialect. We used to have home computers for this purpose, like Spectrum or various domestic models.
I would say that's rare in Texas. I really only have ever see cars in Dallas.
Yes, but you're handwaving away the complexity of actually doing it. The article, to me, seems to be approaching this from a "earth shattering revelation" viewpoint where people think we can fix systemic issues we have suffered for decades and just make houses cheaper. The only viable solution either of us has so far is not immediately viable.
Oh dear... I've been triggered by that reference to the HP-UX boxes at Queensland police in the early 2000s... yes, it was as bad as can be imagined... no, actually, it was worse.

A large number of them were out-of-date and at their end-of-life. HP was charging a super premium for keeping them in support beyond their normal end-of-life period... some reseller pointed this out as a justification for why it would be cheaper to replace them than to keep them in support. It back-fired: QLD police just took them out of support without replacing the hardware. State-level critical infrastructure running on obsolete equipment with no vendor support....
It wasn’t my first programming language, but I declined to attend a college programming course in Pascal because I thought Pascal was outdated and I wanted to learn JavaScript. It was 1997, and it seemed like the future to me. The teacher told me I should just learn Pascal and the same principles apply, but I felt like I didn’t want to waste my time and mental space on a language I wasn’t going to use.

I probably should have done it anyway as I didn’t end up getting seriously into development until 2008.
Expanding on this a bit...

You could think of there being a universe U of programming fundamentals. Each language uses a subset of U as the language's fundamentals (no language uses all of it), and each language uses a different subset.

Some languages have subsets that overlap, but that isn't always obvious, because they clothe the same thing in different syntax and, sometimes, different semantics. Even when the semantics are the same, they talk about the semantics using different terms.

So the problems with transferring knowledge of the fundamentals from one language to another are that they aren't the same fundamentals (different subsets of U), and that they are expressed in different terms and in different syntax. That can make it hard to recognize that the parts that are in common actually are the same. And then there's the new parts.

Now here's a class in C#. One student comes in knowing Haskell; one comes in knowing Python; and one comes in knowing C. The "fundamentals to transfer" differ from student to student. It's asking a lot for the teacher to be able to help each student recognize what part of their background transfers, what part of C# it transfers to, and what the deeper fundamentals are that are expressed in both languages. An exceptional teacher could certainly do so, but as the adjective implies, such teachers are the exception.

But it's not really fair to blame the student, either. It's asking a lot of a 19-year-old to understand deeply enough to make those connections.

My own guess is that this happens best after working as a professional for several years, and in more than one language. Then it's somewhat easier to see what's going on "under the hood" of the languages.
One of my favorite computer jokes is "Computer Science could be called the post-Turing decline in the study of formal systems."

Your criticism is valid, I think, because the chips are now so complex "under the hood" that assembly is, in practice, no longer the thin abstraction it used to be, eh?
>"why they didn't just"

From the article, I got the impression they're a marginal group of activists doing social media stuff in between jail sentences (they're based in Kazakhstan). They don't exactly have a CTO. I'd imagine tech information asymmetry is an overwhelming factor when FAANG is no longer helping you.

Back in the days of MyISAM and before Google had their own ad network I worked for the world's largest advertising network. It had a global reach of 75%, meaning 3 / 4s of people saw at least one of our ads daily.

I was trying to learn MySQL and the CTO made the mistake of giving me access to the prod database. This huge network that served most of the ads in the world ran off of only two huge servers running in an office outside Los Angeles.

MyISAM uses a read lock on every SELECT query. I did not know this at the time. I was running a number of queries that were trying to pull historical performance data for all our ads across all time. They were taking a long time so I let them run in the background while working on a spreadsheet somewhere else.

A little while later I hear some murmuring. Apparently the whole network was down. The engineering team was frantically trying to find the cause of the problem. Eventually, the CTO approaches my desk. "Were you running some queries on the database?" "Yes." "The query you ran was trying to generate billions of rows of results and locked up the entire database. Roughly three quarters of the ads in the world have been gone for almost two hours."

After the second time I did this, he showed me the MySQL EXPLAIN command and I finally twigged that some kinds of JOINs can go exponential.

Kudos to him for never revoking my access and letting me learn things the hard way. Also, if he worked for me I would have fired him.
I think it's mainly a matter of speed. A little 15 mph robot just fits best in the bike lane. If the robot was a 30 mph moped, then they belong in the street.

Also, if e-bikes and bike-speed robots become really numerous in the bike lanes, that should motivate more creation and better maintenance of bike lanes.

I'd much rather bike in the street versus the sidewalk. The sidewalk is just far slower and more treacherous. No one rushes in a truck fix a hole or branch blocking a sidewalk. In a car-based country, you want to be included with the favored mode of travel, even if you're second-class there.
They do just fine on the sidewalks in Japan.

to steelman the assertion, will you pick one of the targets you are referring to and tell us what Israel says about the reason for the target? also, can you discover if Israel warned the people in the building they targeted about the action and gave them time to evacuate?

i understand if you don't want to steelman the assertion, so i'll try to do that for you if you can pick just one action you are referring to.

> friend of mine talked to me about how she could barely see her family in Palestine and that I could get a free trip and citizenship with no connection to the land because I was Jewish.

are you referring to the "Law of Return" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Return)?

if so, are you suggesting that this law amounts to "war crimes that happen in clear view"?

why can your friend "barely" see her family? is it that she can't afford a trip but Jews get to go for free paid by the Israeli government?
One thing I like about this article is that it tries to evaluate how pure functional designs handle state. I've found a lot of posts give examples of programs with no state and show how elegant a functional implementation is. Most real-world programs do have a lot of state within them, so for a fair comparison, we should see how a functional design handles transitioning that state, compared to an imperative approach.
There are some people who "defected" accidentally. By happenstance they visited family in China expecting to return but got tricked by human traffickers and ended up in South Korea as defectors. There are a few of these people who say they want to go home.

I was testing backups for a CMS; to test, I had to destroy the test database. I destroyed the production database. While my manager was querying the CMS to do my annual review.

Good news is I was already planning on restoring the test database from the production backup, so i had the database up in under 45 minutes (slower than it should have been because Oracle's docs were flat out wrong).

A more senior engineer told me he was impressed by how quickly I got things running again; apparently in the Bad Old Days (i.e. a year before I started) the database went down and, while everybody was pretty sure there were backups somewhere, nobody was sure where; customer interactions were tracked by pen and paper for almost 3 business days while this was figured out.
> Durham - now Special Counsel - still quietly looks for the truth

I have no insight into the body of the post, but LOL at this conclusion. Durham has been running his “investigation” now for more than two years and has found diddly squat. The sole product of the Durham investigation is breathless “just wait for the bombshell” punditry from disingenuous right-wing extremist pundits, the same crew who are convinced Hillary Clinton is running a child sex dungeon in a pizza parlor.
They aren’t better off. That’s what makes this whole thing so dire — there’s value in being different, just for the sake of being different, but nobody is going to willingly choose to do something materially worse just on the off-chance that the Current Best Practice happens to have some horrible, unseen downside 50 years later.
They're captured. They want their games. They want their shiny new peripherals to work. And they want all this seamlessly, without messing with Proton/Wine or config options.

In fact why even go this far? Most people have no idea what an OS is. They just buy a "device" and use whatever software platform comes baked into the device and all of them are proprietary.
I did the reverse. Using DOS batch scripts I wrote I imported orders twice for a 100 person generic drug company. It was a heavy set of orders as it was. Everyone in the warehouse had to work late that day. Sales guys loved it because it was near the end of the month. No one at the company seemed to mind the mistake. I was mystified that I did not get in trouble. They had tight relationships with thier customers and just shipped less over the next month.

Even if the argument that startups using the bike lane will help push the local government to improve bike infrastructure is true (which I doubt, it'd push the local government to improve startup-friendly road infrastructure), isn't it ridiculous that the local government would only start improving things once a startup could make a ton of money off of it?
I think the mistake in teaching languages is to start students with a blank page. I learned by typing in code from a magazine, and thus started from a working program to tinker with. So, when my then 9-yr-old son wanted to learn, we spent a weekend hacking the Minecraft code. We did the first change together: making it so the Endermen didn't kill you for looking at them. Then I left him to it. By the end of the weekend he was flying around on the Ender dragon.
Google still has the Hong Kong version (https://www.google.com.hk/). The CCP can kick them out if they want to. Baidu will be very happy for this to happen..
I think there are more parameters.

Some people's "natural max" for actively calling or messaging on a timescale of, say, weeks or months if there's no feeling of obligation is zero.

But it doesn't necessarily mean that aren't interested. Some of those people love keeping in touch when it happens - and are genuinely interested. Their "natural max" for people they enjoy being in touch with regularly (ie. not being a task) is much higher than the number they tend initiate things with.

Come to think of it that might be true for everyone.
As much as I agree with what you are saying, wrt

> rather than derivatives.

I don't think this will go away, just that we'll find ourselves in a new steady state where those who can enable better management of the derivatives through decentralized protocol's will become more in charge (to the degree anyone can be in charge if a after deployment of contracts, operation is mainly done through incentivized contract function for management of the protocols that any one can call, and the core logic of the contracts cannot be modified without redeployment of new contracts) of resource allocation.

This is perhaps a silly question from a pedestrian/driver, but why exactly is this bad for cyclists? From the article:

> It is really surprising if you go on the road and see something foreign, and it’s coming at you at 15 miles per hour.

If it's going down the bike lane on the wrong way then I agree, that's bad and should be corrected.

There's also this:

> Some cyclists remain uncertain about exactly how a REV-1 would move out of a cyclist’s way

Would most of the safety objections go away if it just went faster and/or became easier to pass (i.e. smaller width, stay to the right side)?
You saying "For reference in case you're unfamiliar" is also "a minor point".
Try out js4.red as an alternative.
> “Programming fundamentals” isn’t the same from language to language. It’s inconceivable that a student who learned to program with python would develop the same type of fundamental understanding as a student who used C (to develop an understanding of memory-level APIs) or Haskell (to develop an understanding of type and semantic theories).

I think this is a pretty good point and it touches upon something I was thinking about: what language you use to introduce students to computer science says a lot (not everything!) about your pedagogical attitude towards what "computer science" is. If you think that it's fundamentally about humans interacting with machines, then low level languages make sense. If you think it's fundamentally about math, then functional languages make sense. If you think it's about building things which provide a lot of real-world value, then something like Python makes sense. Now of course (1) students probably need to learn about all three at some point; and (2) there are a number of other factors here, perhaps most importantly making the material enjoyable, approachable, and rewarding for students such that they'll want to delve into each of these aspects.

> 1,000 sq mi is about 640,000 acres, so that's .0000015 tornadoes per year per acre. If I've got my math right, that's about a 99.9% chance that your 1 acre plot will not be hit by a tornado in 1000 years

I appreciate your attempt to come up with realistic numbers, but you are making the assumption that each tornado only affects a single acre. As discussed in the article you linked, if a tornado touches down, it frequently causes destruction for a path of several miles, making this a faulty assumption.

There is a reason. Maybe this reason is that the "conflict" has been going on for 70 years? Maybe the reason is that the situation is particularly humiliating for Muslims, who saw the West unilaterally decide to install some Europeans in one of Islam's most historic places? Or maybe the reason is that, different from other injustices, this one is brazenly denied both by the perpetrators and by those who should be witnesses? Because an injustice will upset, but there is nothing more enraging than seeing those in power deny the obvious and pretend that the perpetrators are victims.

So there can be many reasons. Why do you choose the one that, once somehow transferred 5500 km from Bangladesh to Palestine (not sure how much they have in common), puts the Palestinians' struggle in the worst possible light?
