As far as I can see the comment is being used as an authoritative source for the opinion of the person who posted the comment, and nothing more.

Journalists have long had a habit of printing opinions of random bystanders, self-proclaimed (and possibly actual) experts, and even people with particular opinions that will push the angle that the journalist hopes for.

This particular case seems pretty harmless and probably correct although it doesn't actually say anything about whether IBM is lacking in Notes experts or has anything to do with the problem (it could be in a different layer of the stack).
I have always seen happiness as like sugar... sweet, and fine in small quantities but unhealthy if it becomes a dominant component in one's diet.

Similarly, things that induce happiness (or other feelings) for the sake of it and nothing else are disgusting.

How much of the world has been made worse because happiness was shoved down someone's throat? Do we really realize just how much this emotion and its tells (a smile, good mood, etc) are used to deceive us?

If you want to feel something, earn it.

Wait what? Doesnt that mean a byte somehow has 16 bits?
Looks like 2.1 is too new to actually be in any production hardware-- less than 2 months old.

Gaming might be fine in some laptops, but clearly not in the one for this article. Top-end laptops like an Alienware w/ 3080 use a 330W adapter. 100W USB-C is never going to keep that thing from running down the battery.
Frankly, I feel like the blog posts and updates Aline are worth the price of the doohickey itself. I’ve learned so much about electronics manufacturing!
Just a guess: it's software from the early 1990s (maybe older) that has received just enough maintenance to keep it running, but is not architected to perform well in today's computing environments.
I’d love to see a performance comparison between that 286 laptop and the Raspberry Pi that went into it.
C++ unordered_map unfortunately forces a bucket-based implementation. I don't know about Java.

Ask HN: Promising languages besides Python for data engineering?
Any languages besides Python worth investing time in for data engineering?
We have been auditing legacy user accounts to begin a mapping to Zendesk, and Zendesk allows mapping to ‘organizations’ via email domain.

For some of these legacy accounts, the registered email addresses may have typos.

So, even a basic DNS check against the existence of the domain’s MX record is helpful.

Any of the ‘suspect’ email addresses can then be further evaluated by a human, and then removed or fixed.
Better to wait for the official investigation. For whatever reason, speculation is pretty rampant whenever it comes to Tesla accidents.
The 286 used segmentation where you could carve out contiguous regions in ram and select them using the 16bit segment registers. Going outside the segment would cause an interrupt but individual pages and page faults weren't possible until the 386.

We used the segment mode for our real time OS in university as it was simpler than virtual addressing and provided granular enough protection faults for what we were doing.

One neat thing we did with it was use separate segments for different video buffers before they were blitted to the VESA frame buffer region. This gave us a 1980's version of video sandboxing along with vsync'ed double buffering and overlapping windows.

It only really worked because the Pentium 3 we were using could memcpy something like ten thousand times faster than a 286 but it was still cool.
Yes. I use tags and page links on Bear Notes. The data is easily exported to open formats.

The really funny bit is that the classic visual programming tool LabView is designed mostly for test automation. But it ends up practically requiring the creation of unmaintainable spaghetti (this[1] being a classic example) and there's no test automation possible for it. It's a test automation platform so complex it needs (but doesn't have) test automation for its automation of your tests.

> If you're rich enough to be in the 0.1%, it's not your work that's making you wealthy, it's other people's.

Not exactly. The work is not just to paint the walls, but also organize the work of people who paint the walls, and that's much complex work (I'll avoid saying "hard").

I have worked with many talented managers directly and indirectly (some of them had income much higher than mine), and I know for sure that if I was swapped with them, I would screw it up. Thanks to them I and a lot of other people have the work. They deserve their pay.

It is akin saying airline pilots do not deserve their high pay because without people cleaning the planes it wouldn't be possible to operate an airline.

Or as the anecdote says: tapping with the hammer: $2. Knowing where to tap: $9998.

Or let me put it another way. If you think you can do the work of people who get 0.1% income, why don't you do go and do their work, what stops you?

> More likely, you've inherited that wealth from somebody who's not working anymore.

That's not true. Quick google-fact: among people with $30 or more of wealth, 67.7% were self-made, 23.7% had a combination of inherited and self-created wealth, and only 8.5% completely inherited their wealth.
>Even if what you said is true, would you be willing to spend the money to go to court and try to fight a defamation lawsuit?

Court and lawyer support should be free or cheap.

Else you have a bigger problem than "defamation is a great way for those with money to silence dissent and avoid any consequences": all kinds of lawsuits being "a great way for those with money to silence dissent and avoid any consequences".

In an ideal society, a huge corporation and an average Joe should have the same legal representation, quality wise. Of course this means destroying our present norms of elite law firms and bad free counselling assigned by court. Have lawyers on pool as a state service and assign them randomly to cases on either side.
What's the point of investing less then 10 dollars?
Also worth noting that at one point part of their Linux on Z brag book was Notes consolidation letting them run all of IBM on a handful of mainframes.

It's really remarkable how out of touch large companies can get; especially after years of cost cutting and out sourcing.

I once worked at a company that who, after 15 years of RIFs, offshoring and chasing ever increasing margins, finally cut too deep. One of the critical people cut was my boss, the VP over a product that was an add on to one of the companies major products. Due to accounting the profits showed up on the main products financials, but our product was a critical enabling piece.

My boss was RIF'd, simply called one day and told not to come in again, ever. Like some low level employee. After the boss was gone there was literally no one in the executive team who knew anything about the product, it's customers or customer commitments ie signed contracts for features to be delivered. It was a beautiful train wreck I watched first hand. It was amazing to see the VP who did take over slowly learn the magnitude of the f-ck up over the course of several months. They lost several customers. These customers were pissed and literally had no one to talk to at our company. We had support reps fielding calls from CEOs at our customers complaining. A few law suits ensued. It was glorious to see.
This is misleading, 2G """speed""" was 0.0096 Mbit/s half-duplex. It was possible to do some urgent work at terminal server for the ridiculous price, tho.

The further improvements were highly dependent how many time-slots network leases to you, up to ~0.24 Mbit/s. Dumbing things down to that nG naming doesn't work very well...

That's it for the TDMA guts, next week – library subscription fees.
To add to my comment, top end laptops w/ an RTX 3080 use up to 330W. Also USB-C 2.1 w/ 240W isn't actually in any laptop I can find: it's less than 2 months old.
all the DMCA technicalities aside this is a completely bad faith move by police.
VidEarth: Radio Garden but with Videos
The sited author Lisa Barrett has come up with some pretty new and solidly basd on experimental and neurological experiments models of emotions. There's a great interview of her by Sean Carroll on his podcast: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2020/11/16/123-...

It's not just that the physiological precedes the emotions, it's also that there's not really any universal human emotions, but each person and each culture kind of buckets these "predict how much energy my brain and body will need" responses into common buckets for discussion purposes. And we now have a lot of cross-cultural studies and neuronal activation timing studies to put some heft into what is rather sensible.
Well, I've never had employee stock options or RSUs; my needs probably differ from the typical HN commenter.

Using the word "big" may be misleading. The point is, if anything isn't quite right, it's "gaping" because what's the fallback?

And as I said, I go directly to the forms, and the free option I tried was only interview-style. I could've predicted it wouldn't work, but I did give it a try to make sure.

I'm sorry I can't be more specific, but I don't think your experience relates to mine, because I was using the free version.

I imagine there is a very hazy line between the free version being designed for typical users without sophisticated taxes and "dark patterns" designed to frustrate someone into paying.

The pay version may be better, but I wouldn't have any motivation to try it, assuming that the wizard/interview is required.
The big problem with early x86 machines was the lack of an MMU and process isolation.
Aside from the questionable aspects of this it doesn’t even understand some aspects of how email works. It requires MX records, but it’s fine to just have an A record and accept email there, I do that for one of my personal domains and this says it’s invalid, but nothing else has ever had a problem with it.
There's also the problem that 1U×3U=3U² and the fact that you wouldn't be able to add 3U² to 2U since the'd be different units.
That’s terrifying.
Can we start including the names of the directors and VPs who are agreeing to these deals? This isn't just a faceless company, there are really people who are ethically compromised and we need to know who they are.
There's a side effect where stocks are no longer tied to company performance. It gets harder to seriously invest.
Somehow my domain that I've owned without interruption for ~20 years got on a list of throwaway email services.

Having visited a lot of places that are considered holy, I'm pretty sure that reading how a place is considered holy and has been the site of traveling by pilgrims for hundreds or thousands of years, and then going and seeing the pilgrims now act with reverences, it has a tendency to open your own ability to experience sacredness by following along in the footsteps of the predecessors and moving in the ancient rituals. Anecdata tho.

We need some help with some upcoming natural language projects.

Easy project: looking for someone to work under a PHD level advisor to help with a contract law risk scoring system. Goal one is simply classification of sections. We have a proof of concept that beats out baseline in one example section, looking to build it out further, find corner cases and then expand to the rest of the sections we need to find. Overnight batch job so nothing crazy needed from the backend, language side.

Open-ended project: 1-2 folks are needed for scraping news/blogs, watching for keywords (or embeddings thereof) and reporting back stats about them. Their use, surrounding terms, surrounding sentiment, and anything you else feel is of value to the client.

Reply back with your cv, highlighting any past projects in Bert, Elmo, or with sentence-level embeddings.

Why would you assume the poster meant everything above and beyond deterioration related collapse?

I understood “deadliest building collapse America has ever seen” to be context-specific, and I suspect others interpreted it this way as well.
There is most definitely an unwinnable war between simplicity/ease-of-use and more power/customizability.

That being said, Alteryx is an example of a company that has made a ton of money via a data munging tool that is a visual programming language. The users are fanatical as well.
The art of Indian Dance (traditional) is a amalgamation of facial expressions, body postures and hand gestures. All three must be used in unison to express a feeling / event / scene.

Most Indian dance routines have a context and a back story.

These Mudras (Hand gestures), have specific meanings in the context. So if you are aware of the context, the back story and various aspects of the dance, its easy to become immersed into the act. Its like a mime play.

As an example, the last mudra, the one with the three fingers, represents the weapon of Lord Shiva, with which he uses to kill sinners.

Great thinking. I also want to make it location based eventually, but it's hard enough to get enough people on simultaneously for it to be interesting so I think this could only be done if we somehow get a huge user base.

NameCheap Is Not a Unicorn
For those who believe in unicorns, here is my experience. My very new brand has been used for phishing/deceptive practices and my TM infringed. This is by Borderoo.com, they are registered through NameCheap. https://www.domain.com/whois/whois/?utm_source=google&utm_me... I followed their trail. The Borderoo site has many fake pages for small and big brands- they impersonate/infringe the brands' TM/mislead potential customers (you can google Borderoo scams). Their links lead to coupon sites, where they use the brand name to lead the potential clients to Ebay and Amz stores with cheap trinkets and non-brand related items sold by some company overseas. That's the scam, and there may be more. You can see one of the big brand names here: https://borderoo.com/pages/buy-from-swarovskis-usa-online-st... Swarovski is a big brand. Check out the Borderoo sitemaps to see more companies that are being scammed, here is one:https://borderoo.com/post-sitemap1.xml They were kicked off of Shopify, but they quickly recovered with a WP site, doing the same thing. I contacted NameCheap, they claim they don't have enough evidence. But when I did a search by using the phone number for this company on WHOis Lookup, I got about 20 million related domain names registered for that Iceland location and phone number on NameCheap. 20 million! This is not an amateur job. I just bumped into this FB lawsuit. I don't understand why NameCheap is getting away with this, but they are aware of the scams and doing nothing- how is it possible that over 20 million domain names are misused and nothing's done about it? Common sense tells me there's more to this story. Maybe this can help you all understand more about different sides of the story. I know the truth will come out sooner or later. NameCheap is not innocent.
Maybe it wasn't your intent (I also could be reading this wrong), but I feel like throwing Rust under the bus here is unfair.

Rust has a ton of different collections types you can use. You can also replace the hashing and seeding algorithms. It's the most flexible of the lot out of necessity. Systems programming requires fine control over data structures.
There are no valid lower courts for this to end up in. Lawsuits in which a state sues another state use the Supreme Court as their original jurisdiction. The Supreme Court is the first, and last, court for this to end up in.
Springshare | Full Stack Intermediate & Senior Software Engineers | Full-time | Remote

Must love libraries (not just code libraries, lol, but actual institutions e.g. your local public library, college library, or your kids' school library). Since 2007 we've been helping libraries thrive in today's online-first world. Springshare is a well-established yet small-ish (under 100 people) EdTech SaaS with over 7,000 institutional customers in 90 countries.

Tech stack: Linux/nginx/php/mysql/redis/elasticsearch/elasticache on the back-end, and JS/Angular/html5 on the front-end, all hosted on AWS cloud.

Experience/Requirements: We're looking at full-stack generalists but also specialists, too - if you'd rather do back-end only work or front-end only development there's plenty of work we can give you!

* 5+ years experience with core PHP and MySQL/Redis * Angular experience for front-end work * Experience developing modern, mobile-first, accessible web apps * Ability to work with complex code base, refactor code, and apply design patterns * Strong experience in OOP and MVC concepts and writing performant code * Familiarity with web and cloud security concerns and remedies * Strong remote work experience and communication skills

Residency requirements: These are full-time WFH position but to be on our payroll you must be a resident of one of the following US States: FL, NY, MA, PA, KY, TX, or CA. We will consider exceptional international candidates but the hours must overlap significantly with the US working hours.

Why Springshare? Challenging projects and good benefits & perks (competitive salary, 401K employer matching, generous time-off policies, non-pressure-cooker work environment). Working in a small team - a dozen+ engineers writing production-level code that powers the library experience for tens of millions of users worldwide. We don't do stock options because we'll never go public or be acquired for gazillions. Instead, we're building a strong company for the long haul and aim to provide a stable work environment and a long-term career opportunity to all Springys.

We love libraries and want to see them thrive. Hope you do too!

And naturally, it's blasphemous on HN to speak about it.
Ones own hopefulness or despair alters the scope of possible solutions. To the extent one can influence ones own attitude, it is useful to be strategic about it. Of course, we need a few curmudgeon's around to keep the group on its toes. But the happy clappy people are so inspiring.
It was never really made for email and it's been hobbling along for years.
I suspect this bit didn't endear them to the FCC either:

HobbyKing had told the FCC that it had no notice of the Commission’s authorization requirements; that the Fifth Amendment relieved HobbyKing of its duty to respond; that the forfeiture amount was inappropriate because its parent company, Indubitably, Inc., lacked the ability to pay to the Forfeiture Order; and that the Commission was time-barred from taking action against ABC Fulfillment Services LLC because it was not part of HobbyKing’s business.
It's sad this didn't catch on. It's particularly handy when you move to "square unos" (like "square millimeters" but dimensionless).

For example, in microchips the sheet resistance of layers (metal, poly, etc) has units of "ohms per square uno". This is because a 1mm*10mm sheet and a 10mm*100mm sheet both have the same resistance (along the first axis). The latter sheet is longer (higher resistance) but wider (lower resistance) and the effects cancel out. So it's really "ohms per width-to-length-ratio", but width-to-length-ratio is a unitless quantity (mm per mm = mm/mm = uno).

Everybody call this "ohms per square". Frankly that just sounds weird, and grammatically invalid. Ohms per square what? Parse error. Before I heard about unos I would occasionally call it "ohms per aspect ratio" but I'm probably the only person who uses that terminology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_resistance#Units
I agree. Why isn't #1 "Be Earth's Best Employer"? Amazon didn't get where they are by practicing the rule "Try to be obsessed with customers".
This is really just price fixing, which is generally considered anti-competitive and typically illegal. Governments should be subject to the same competitive pressures they impose on everyone else.
