The building collapsed because there was less steel due to corrosion than in the design drawings…less concrete too due to spalling.

But mainly it collapsed because the-building-is-falling-apart issues were not addressed despite being obvious even to lay people.

More steel might have delayed the collapse. It would not have avoided it altogether.
No. Even Blurays don't have that. A high quality rip has somewhat 20Mbps and thats on the high end with H264.
I use https://searx.me/ specifically https://searx.bar for controversial topics.

Google seems to often times redact content and once during a academic research project in advanced military technologies me and my colleages even got "white-screened". Searches returned empty results, which resulted in many results previously. This on all my devices and friends devices also even though they were on a different network and location.

A few days later the results came back, it appeared to us like a screening, before taking serious action. Our prof got nervous and handed us some information in case we get prosecuted or imprisoned for our research topics.
The techniques are often effective at manipulating you even if you are ‘aware’, unless you are also so very well-aligned internally that the consciously aware part of you can and does counter-affect the subconsciously affected parts strongly and consistently enough. Intelligence and knowledge won't save you. Combining them with ‘enlightenment’ and/or strong detachment might, but that's a much taller order.

In the case of central/popular social/communication software, this is much, much worse, because it can be set up so that taking up the mindset for resistance directly conflicts with taking up a mindset that will be (or be read as) adequately engaged for relationship maintenance and continued connection; the persuasion can use your friends as an attack reflector, getting mixed up in the signal. And no amount of purely individual willpower will help you not get steamrolled by that so long as you remain dependent on the society around you.

(I want to find an analogy to use for the latter—I'm almost tempted to say it compares to historical examples of ideological spirals the same way nuclear explosives compare to conventional ones, but that feels not-quite-right. History pointers appreciated if anyone has 'em.)
That's definitely a good approach. I'm fortunate enough that I can learn just by reading, so I like to just lay down and read coding/comp-sci stuff when I can.

Like, If I wanted to, I bet I know I could create the server, connection manager, query parser, optimizer, WAL, storage... and maybe I will, but would just be fine to read about someone else doing it.

I spend enough time coding as it is. :)
They go higher than normal passenger jets. Thus they could glide longer, because they'd start from an altitude of anywhere between 13 to 16 kilometers up, maybe even 20km. There is almost no weather to speak of there, and if so it wouldn't require a sharp turn, because anything reaching up there would be visible from far away. (like a thunderstorm)

That's the whole point of so called high-altitude/high-atmospheric platforms as an alternative to low orbiting satellites. (Think stationary blimp with many antennae/transponder on its belly for internet, or something)

What are you smoking!?
Well, yes.

But I'm able to construct the German form from memory, and have found myself unable to produce a Dutch equivalent even from reference.

When writing it, I imagined Meneer Djikstra rolling his eyes a bit. Which... fits.
i was thinking about image processing or machine learning, but i'm sure this is the case in other fields as well. Reproducible research is a "hot topic" in many places, and for good reasons.
Almost as if earth's eco system was very complex, barely understood and very hard to predict. That really makes you think....
There's already a solution out there and that's plastic made from corn that's biodegradable. But it has a couple disadvantages:

1. It's more expensive

2. Plastic bags aren't smooth and have a slightly rough texture

3. Plastic can't be made shiny and has a dull look

There is a new generation of folks trying to make a biodegradable plastic chemically without using corn:

https://fortune.com/2021/06/30/emma-watson-twitter-co-founde...

However from what I read it's far from mass production:

I've asked people in the know can the plastic made from corn be improved? Modern plastic made from corn (PLA) technology is over twenty years old. To their knowledge no one is working on it. They said it was a hard problem. My personal opinion is that it's a problem worth working on.
In Australia symmetrical is only for bigger businesses. Every home connection is asymmetrical, with the common ones being 25/5, 50/20, or 100/20. There’s outliers if you’re willing to pay more (I’m on 250/50 and there’s 1000/50 if you’ll pay upwards of $150/mth) but the first 3 are the default/common plans on our national broadband.
Oh right, business never causes problems… thanks for clearing that up, silly me. Cool that social media companies invented CPUs, I had no idea.
Miniflux will also let you do a per-feed view, from the feeds and/or categories pages. I'm pretty sure Feedbin does as well.
The compiler only operates on one unit (file) at a time so it has literally no way of telling this in C. There are legitimate uses for having a non-const global which is never modified by local source: library config options, hooks for external programs, and what not. As you say, this would be a job for the linter.
Thanks so much. That was useful to learn.
In this particular section, the authors already took good care to separate internal rules from general advice: "On their face, the benefits of using exceptions outweigh the costs, especially in new projects. … Things would probably be different if we had to do it all over again from scratch."
> Let me reply to your last sentence by saying I do not think it is sexist to use the word “hysterical”, which has a well-understood meaning apart from its etymology, to someone who happens to be female.

Then do you think maybe you misread Elbakyan's tone from her word choices, in a similar way to how I misread yours? She even stated in her last reply that she wasn't being hostile.
That does not feel true to me in Poland. I'd say average is close to what's expressed here on HN, about 2 years in a job. More junior people switch more often, and more senior less often - but also can switch pretty fast if the job is not a good fit. I don't think worker rights play a role here, because I've never seen software engineer being fired for a purely performance reason.
>It can be as high as 20k-50k€.

Meanwhile in NYC they're knocking off few months rent and dropping the security deposits just to get people back there.
That code is invalid, it would give a compiler warning and possibly a runtime exception.
It’s not really the peer review process that makes them prestigious. The peer review process employed by world-class journals doesn’t guarantee good science (see: all sorts of high profile retractions). And it’s not really a complicated system - it’s easy to clone, as the procedures are all public and the important players are all volunteers.

But cloning the top journals’ peer review process wouldn’t make you a top journal. Many mid and low tier publications use the same peer review process as the high tier ones.

It’s more of a bit of a tautology: the most prestigious journals are the most prestigious because they’re seen as the most prestigious - which means they get all the best submissions, the best people volunteer to be organizers, speakers, reviewers, and people pay attention to their proceedings increasing their citation numbers.

This makes it a fairly self-sustaining system. It also makes it hard to break into. It’s no coincidence that the “best” publications also tend to be the oldest.
I'm not sure I see the benefits here. Given you're already testing your hooks, as is assumed in the guide, what benefit does this approach have over mocking the hook for component tests?
> Do you really think drug cartels need the IPTO?

The legal ones do, absolutely.

"get an audience for our patent infringement suits so that we are feared as a tiger with claws, teeth and balls, and build some excitement with prescribers that OxyContin Tablets is the way to go." Richard Sackler in a 1996 email. I do not see OxyContin situations in a world with intellectual freedom, no. No government enforced monopoly profits, no massive incentive to overprescribe and lie. No copyright, and you get far more honest media, education, and healthcare industries.

> Who has an IP monopoly on alcohol production? Is alcohol addition a huge problem, or not?

Maybe it's far more of a problem that is generally known, but that truth is not made apparent because we don't have true freedom of the press b/c of copyright laws.

> Why do you believe tech monopolies rely specifically on patents

On patents and copyrights. If we were to declare tomorrow that search engines did not have to respect copyright law, we would see far better search engines than Google in a year or less.

> The reality is that patents are a relatively tiny element in cost of entry to markets.

Patents deter a huge number of startups from forming. Nearly every successful startup I know of gets targetted by patent trolls, and must decide to play that game and go along with the system. This is very discouraging to a huge number of innovators, especially in critical fields like chip design.

> It's honestly baffling why the anti-copyright crowd believes removing patents and copyright will be some kind of magic bus ride to utopia, when there is no rational reason whatsoever to believe that.

Not a magical bus ride to utopia, but a doubling to perhaps 10x increase in human productivity and equality, yes.
But what did they fabricate? What is the actual crime that they have stated that they are extraditing him for?
> less steel reinforcement in certain areas than would have been expected from the 1979 design drawings

They address this later, so it's a clickbait implication.

Who cares if it's different to the design, is it not enough? How does it compare to normal.

Given it's a cookie cutter design the workers would notice if it wasn't enough. 20 years of pumping concrete is enough to know if it's significantly wrong.

If the implication is, this might mean other things are wrong. It goes to how normal is this in industry?

When you look at China and their bad concrete, it goes to pushing things to the extreme, like how will they go in an earthquake.

> Engineers said it seemed unlikely that having less rebar would trigger a collapse in and of itself
Bitcoin speculation, probably.
The PICO-8 has a Nim-based variant called Nico: https://github.com/ftsf/nico
> It's even stranger when you consider that the early internet was right-ish libertarian leaning.

Yes, that is strange. Perhaps what has changed is not the leaning of the political alignment of people who frequent the internet, but the political landscape against which concepts like "liberal" or "conservative" are applied?
This could be a big competitiveness advantage for China in two major ways: 1) there is a large contingent of Chinese nationals studying abroad, and them having access to SciHub makes it easier for them to be accustomed to it should they return to China to research there and 2) it would give China metrics on what papers are looked up and by who (sometimes down to the institution level), which might help them find high impact places to build upon research that other people might not have thought of.
> Decent quality starts at several 10s of Mbps, and high quality 1080p is in the 200-400Mbps range.

What? No. 10 Mbps is already plenty for high quality 1080p with the latest codecs. Even 1080p Blurays only run 20-40 Mbps and they're typically very conservatively compressed.
This assumes Apple's pro-consumer store policies are nominally finished or complete. In reality, Apple has been slowly "boiling the frog" year after year, progressively adding new privacy protections. It's one thing to codify current policies into law—good luck with that—but it's another thing entirely for the law to keep pace.

The most recent privacy win is their much-lauded "App Tracking Transparency" policy. This policy does have a technical component (it blocks the app from reading the IDFA) but it would be trivial for developers to find other ways to match up users if they wanted. Ultimately the policy is enforced by threat of penalty by Apple.

This could be (theoretically) replaced with a threat of penalty by Government, but entities like Facebook wouldn't treat this nearly as seriously as they do the threat of being kicked out of the only means of app distribution on iOS.

I am personally conscious and wary of the fact that Apple has extensive control over a platform which is increasingly defining the way many people interact with the Internet. But for now I'm fine with it—and I will be so long as there is strong competition from a more open platform.
No I disagree. They're state propaganda it's just the current journalist profession is so activist left they won't do anything for a right leaning government, but they will sue over a plainly fairly use video before an election to try to create chaos. They're too entrenched in their brand of leftist ideology to be used by the right.

They're a state backed propaganda machine pushing the state's narrative, but resisting any other narrative when the current opposition in power because they've been entirely staffed by activist journalists.
I think they are decently well enough integrated now. Rather than starting a dask cluster, you can run dask on a Ray cluster

You don't test in production. By definition, prod is what you care about and don't want to break.

This is what preprod is for: an environment that stores, receives and processes the same data as prod. It replicates prod as closely as possible and errors or unexpected differences are investigated.

Then there are rolling deployments in prod...

[and you don't need containers at all]

If Blender comes close to Houdini in the future in terms of procedural workflow, especially with physics, then Blender has a real chance at conquering the space.
This is blog spam.
The other answer though is that AI systems only learn what they're taught, and businesses building chatbots only teach them things they've already put on their websites and documentation...which if that was helpful to the customer, they wouldn't be looking for human support.
Was her identity well-known before the Elsevier court case, where she was named?

I thought the publicity for her efforts was made after this, in English language media anyway. Though perhaps I am misremembering the order of events.
surveillance changes behavior plenty, because there is an increased risk of future prosecution or atleast reputation damage.
Of course that’s possible. Everyone can make their own judgments. I stand by my characterization.

But no, I was interpreting her remarks based on the meanings of the words she used, not their etymologies. That’s usually more productive.
Sure, I can work it out, and I do use F when talking to friends from the USA. My only point was that I deal with hex numbers all day, so they're more intuitive to me than Fahrenheit is.
Don’t rely on atomic commits when you don’t have atomic deploys. If X and Y are each running on multiple machines, you must plan for new X interacting with old Y and vice versa, because that is going to happen at least while you are rolling the change out or back. This even goes for a Javascript app talking to backend hosts.
If they get automatic driving, you will be able to rent them out via a Uber like service (although I think Tesla's terms of service for their full self driving software package states you can only rent out your car using a system owned by Tesla). I'm sure a large number of people would do this while they were at work or overnight. Especially if it covered most of the cost of owning the car. With this scenario you could get to a million mile in a decade pretty easily.

PS. I'd love to own my grandparent's GTO, Cadallics, etc..
Why do people not do that? As far as I know, publishing in Arxiv is as simple as uploading the PDF, so I'm wondering why scientists don't do that themselves by default.

Does anyone know?
I know stylometry is a thing, but is it good enough to fingerprint you according to what you know or talk about? What about in the future as NLP advances?

For a historic example, '...although Newton's solution was anonymous, he was recognized by Bernoulli as its author; "tanquam ex ungue leonem" (we recognize the lion by his claw).' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Later_life_of_Isaac_Newton#Ber... I am guessing the proof techniques were so hard/original that Bernoulli concluded only Newton could've come up with it at that time.

Likewise, I would assume there's only a handful of people in the world who have this level of expertise on online anonymity. So do you then have to keep this expertise completely isolate to one particular anonymous account to avoid being correlated?

My concern applies to knowledge that isn't particularly world class too, as long as it's in a unique combination. I guess in some sense what we know makes us who we are so it's hard to avoid being "identified" that way without splitting your personality?
On one hand, there's a whole field of study on explicable AI and I'm unconvinced that this cannot be baked into that automatic reasoning process.

On the other hand, a wholly independent system to search the training set based on AST matching and text similarity could solve this problem in the majority of cases.
Stockfish 14
Turns out the homeless, like many (most?) people, prefer living in desirable places.

When you have no ability/intention to pay rent, the whole cost of living deterrent vanishes.

So it seems rather obvious to me you'd have a higher rate of homelessness in the most desirable (most expensive) cities. Not without interventions creating costs or inconveniences actually relevant to the homeless as a proportional deterrent. I'm not sure if that's even possible without being cruel though.
As I understand it full disk access means the app can read the disk outside of the usual (strict) app sandbox or explicit user actions like file modals.

This is completely separate from the unix user permissions.
Apparently not for some newer releases of Debian
Yeah I guess I should add some information about that. But I would probably argue that if you just damage the hardware enough (to make it look ruined) and just throw it in a random trash can then chances are low that someone will try to salvage/fix it. And I think it will just end in some dump/incinerator/recycling center somewhere without anyone ever trying to "track you". As for SSDs (or HDDs), I think I do provide enough information to make sure data is thoroughly deleted on them with very high confidence that no forensics will be able to retrieve anything from them.
What is the difference between DoEvent and yield in modern async languages?
Speed up would be less but not zero, almost any div or modulo can be replaced by a multiply by a magic constant plus a bit shift.
But do you not make a decision (however rational), to grant rights for your article, as an author, and your labour as a reviewer, to the journal?

I'm not a scientist, and I don't know how this works, so this is an honest question. But as an outsider, it seems that the most important intellectual property of these publishers are not articles themselves, but famous journals that scientists all over the world are so eager to publish for. And if this suggestion is right, that don't those scientists actually get paid, although indirectly through eyballs instead of cash? Which they then convert into Hirsch index, and then, through grants and programs and tenures, into cash?
Japanese Software development it's a weird beast.

On one side you have people that managed to squeeze the last bit of clock cycles and memory in video games in the 90s, without losing sight of the creativity and human interaction. And that's rare, usually, people and teams are great in the technical space, or great on the abstract emotional one, but not both. A lot of them are a masterclass in UX that need not tutorials for complex topics.

On the other hand, most of the Apps outside entertainment are only made by and for the Japanese market. I can not recall many recent names outside of LINE in the software field (and after WhatsApp added stickers... begun to fade away in the west; Today, I know more that use WeChat / Signal than LINE).

But I don't think this it's a problem of lack of great developers or education (A lot of great CS papers, frameworks, and libraries are created by Japanese devs).

My bet on the problem is in how businesses work in Japan.
- They put a lot of effort into weird metrics hyper-focused on the local market
- A hierarchy that puts a lot of weight on tradition and forms, rather than results (ie "appear productive" doing a lot of office hours).

In defense of Japan, I would say that most industries outside of IT in the west, work kinda the same (MBAs for CTOs, etc).

Sure, but there’s no reason or value in a standard “idempotency-key”.

The API would simply have a requestId, or depositId or whatever, and place it in the header or body or whatever makes sense to the API.

> This is an error checking facility to make sure that the idempotency keys are being used correctly.

How circular. Idempotency keys are useful to make sure we’re using idempotency keys correctly.
It's copying, not theft.

The latter deprives someone of an item, the former increases its availability. An important distinction when considering the purpose and goals of Sci-Hub.
Either that, or perhaps the huge influx of far-right sympathizers.
Probably not during normal operations. IIRC they put more mechanical tension on the overhead catenary, also more voltage on it, and used slightly larger wheels. That was more of testing the absolute limits of what you can do with that sort of system, materials- and mechanics-wise.
If the Hyatt walkway had been built as it was designed, I'm sure it would have worked fine. But was it realistic to build it as designed? The design called for something like 12 meters (12m is my estimate from it needing to span the 2nd to 4th floor) of continuously threaded rod. Is cutting 12 meters of continuous thread on one rod a realistic design? This is a real question, I don't know the answer but this seems suspect to me. Wikipedia says the reason the construction company changed the design is because they would have to screw the bolts past several meters of thread per rod and they thought such long sections of threading would be subject to damage during construction.

Obviously their "solution" was lethal. But the original presumably safe design seems impractical at best.
Full disk access bypassing user permissions ... Is bad, even if "full disk access" to the app was indeed given.

This is not obvious when you allow terminal (or any other app) the disk access.

This is the most important thing. Rambo can delete all the unit tests he wants in his MR; our discussion will be about whether:

- the contracts have changed.

- the unit tests shouldn't have been there in the first place.

- he's violating contracts
