You should have seen HN discussions about him around the 2016 election. He went from venerated to intensely maligned in the span of a couple weeks. Just like what happened with Glenn Greenwald around the 2020 election.
Same with some driving exam questions I have had. For example worded something like that, "does driving faster in some sections of the journey affect your planned time of arrival?"

I don't remember if the wording was specifically like this, but it was something that to me logically obvious answer is "yes", but the correct answer and what they expect is "no", to show that you are a reasonable driver who won't speed unnecessarily.

And I think throughout the driving exam there were several questions like that. This type of thing really annoys me.

EDIT:
I found the actual question - although I still had to translate it - and I think I was giving the question a benefit of the doubt from my memory, with the term "planned" as I had written here, the actual way the question was setup was following:

What affects the duration of a planned journey?

a) Length of the journey.

b) Maximum speed in few lone sections of the journey.

It uses checkboxes, so you can check both.

They expect you to check only a), but b) is in my view also logically correct answer as if at any section even if it's shorter than 1 metres, if your max speed nears 0, duration of your journey will reach infinity. But it is worded in such a way that most people will get the hint that B) should not be checked.
seems like having a discussion like that in front/with management would be a great way to suss out the way management will respond to future differences of opinion. A very valuable thing to know in deciding whether to accept a position
Which is certainly why people supported the Trump administration's prosecution of him. Wait, what?
Solarpunk I suspect is more important that we know, because I think rich subcultures are the seeds of massive growth.

It's just some funny drawings and internet fanfic twigging our sense of novelty on HN now, but when you see it as representing the desires and longings of young people for wilderness, and also know people who left cities in the last 10y, they were the thin edge of the wedge, where post-pandemic, younger people are leaving cities to get on the real estate ladder, with remote work and amazon-style supply chains, and they are family-inclined. It incorporates passive and renewable energy techs, argritech, biotech, cannabis-driven value added production, organic and small scale food production, brewing and distilling, civic minded prepping, local vs. global, etc.

I'm interested in when solarpunk blips on the radar because to me it is an aesthetic that represents new growth.
Oh. I thought your point was that their inclusion criteria were too narrow (.edu only) and as such did not include all universities.

I remember this wording irritating me when I was a k-12 student myself. I would get excited at "Free for students!" headings and then be disappointed when the discounts were in fact for higher education only.

It's misleading, really.
> Are there flaws in some ARM64 instructions?

The result of (IEEE 754) operations -- including PLUS, MINUS and FMA -- is specified bit-for-bit, at least for `isnormal()` numbers. It is not a matter of vaguely "more precise" or "less precise".

The test performed brings no information towards answering the question, because the loss of precision precision in one particular complex algorithm can perfectly well happen despite one individual operation having better worst-case precision.

To check the unlikely event of a flaw in M1's FMA, one would need to compare the output of invidual FMAs with MPFR's output on the same operands.

> ARM64 v Intel: I haven’t attempted to look at Intel processor fused instructions

Instead, this test could have been a clue. FP64 results follow the spec and hence must be bit-for-bit equal across platforms (as long as one avoids legacy x87 on Intel).
Venture capital deals in the US will set a record in 2021
> The downside to this is that it deprives their classmates as entire bubbles get sent home I think.

It would have been the job of governments to actually govern, by transforming schools to work digitally. Just look at Denmark - their schools have been digitalized for over two decades (https://www.aktiv-online.de/news/digitale-schule-in-daenemar...). All they had to do was tell the kids to stay home and that's it. No deprivation, no negative effects.

The complete inaction (how many schools have bought and installed air purifiers vs. how many parliaments?) and incompetence that has been shown towards children all over the Western world in the coronavirus crisis is utterly utterly inexcusable.
Thank you for this detailed response!!
No, it isn't that easy. pcwalton is misrepresenting things here IMO.

Yes, people, including myself, use 'cross' precisely because it isn't as easy as "just use rustup to install the desired target." 'cross' has a bunch of Docker images that set up the cross compilation toolchains, and those images represent a fair amount of domain knowledge that I don't have to tediously acquire to use it.

That's a problem with two monitors, specifically if you try to place them evenly. Neither monitor is centered.

Designate one of them as the 'main' monitor, and put anything you need to work with for long periods of time on that. Add an office chair, so you can swiwel to look straight at the other(s) instead of twisting your neck. And you'll find there's no such issue.

The only way to win the MVC debate is to not play.

No other topic in our design pattern study group would incite such heated debates.

Any more, any time someone refers to MVC, non ironically, I just mentally check out. Bozo bit style.
Sorry, but this is simply not true. As someone who cooks, I'd rather grate my own face than use an electric stove. They don't get hot enough, they take forever to heat up, and they take forever to cool down. After cooking on gas, there is no way anyone would ever want to go back to electric. Induction is a lot better than electric of course, but gas is still preferable.

Aside from anything else, this whole exercise smacks of making people believe they're helping the planet so they continue to consume, consume, consume with wild abandon - all the while providing a huge cash injection for companies selling stoves. Some quick maths, just for fun: there are 122,800,00 households in the USA, and around 35% of them have gas stoves (42,980,000). I don't know about the US, but here in the UK the cheapest (and therefore not great) induction stoves are around £300/$411, and for anyone mad enough, electric stove tops are around £100/$140. Let's assume average replacement unit cost is around $300, with fitting around $100. Cost to replace all gas stoves is around $17,192,000,000 - and that's assuming everyone buys the cheapest stove tops available.

If we really wanted to do something that would actually make a difference, how about banning bunker oil?

Yup I've tried to deal better with me frustration in these cases.

Well, eggs are kind of a big deal :) I don't think I'm extreme in my butter/oil preferences, for example 1tbsp butter for 2 eggs in an 8 inch pan. There's also pan-grilling -- I usually don't want a fried steak, or salmon fillet, or whatever.

Mostly it's just ease of use, especially cleaning. These particular pans, if still hot, can be cleaned by simply running cold water over the hot pan, then wiping it off. Nope, this doesn't warp the pan, I've been doing it for years. On the occasions when the pan isn't hot enough for that, one or two quick passes with a soapy sponge, and it looks brand new. They can also go in the dishwasher, although I personally don't do that.

The nonstick coating they use is some proprietary one, not Teflon. It's PFOA-free and durable enough to be used with metal utensils. I don't think any of it gets into the food.

I probably sound like a shill at this point, but seriously, I just love these things. I would certainly prefer to not spend ~$100/pan, but after trying one, I ended up with four of them.

Maybe that will change in the future but most Android devices are not using a 5.x kernel yet. All my Samsung devices support exFAT and use Android 11 with a 4.14 kernel. My old BB Priv also supported exFAT with Marshmellow which definitely did not have kernel version 5!

Well, that's you. Everyone drank Monster at my uni and I don't think there were any reports of sleep issues. Of course it depends on your existing caffeine tolerance, and I guess most students consume quite a lot of caffeinated beverages, but if it was a common issue for those with low tolerance I'm sure we'd have noticed.
You're being deliberately obtuse about this. The simplest explanation for cyberattacks against high-profile targets coming out of countries like China (or the US, for that matter) isn't "rando script-kiddies having a laugh ha ha!". It's that their government intelligence forces did it.

This kind of attempted misdirection is really common from people defending/spreading propaganda for the Chinese government. It's also similar to the excuses made when business partners with heavy government influence conduct scans and do other questionable things against US infrastructure. Apparently they think westerners are all too stupid or blind to understand what's happening. It's ridiculous.

Your definitions show the difference and yet you are trying to tell us there is no difference.

Definition 2 of key, and definition 2 of keystone are in use here.

The witness is not indispensable nor something on which the case depends for support.

Therefore only definition 2 of key fits.
Its not even superficial knowledge, it's overloaded terminology. MVC as originally formulated came out of Smalltalk and looked more like what we would call MVVM today with smaller controllers. Apple took MVC with iOS and moved it to the opposite extreme with their god-controller objects that knew everything and did everything. Meanwhile what web developers think of as MVC is really the JSP Model-2 architecture where the controller is the entry point to the system which is responsible for coordinating with the models and views to generate a response, where in traditional thick client GUI MVC the view layer is the entry point into the system and the controller sits between the views and the model.

Point being, "What is MVC?" is a very expansive question and I'd be very wary of working for any developer who thought there was one right answer to it.
Good post.

Humans are important (and also illogical). If we are to work in a team, then we definitely need to factor humans into the equation.

That also means, that when we evaluate the employer, we should try to find out as much as possible about the human culture there. Even if they are all tech whizzes, if the team is broken, the job will be a nightmare.

I was talking to a guy a couple of days ago, about a job he quit after two days.

He noticed that every time the manager walked onto the floor, everyone put their heads down, and avoided eye contact. It was only a matter of time before the manager cut a victim out of the herd, and humiliated them in front of the others.

During the interview, this same manager was a font of friendliness. But on the floor, he was a tyrant.
I also graduated into the heart of the dot com era (I was a friend's 'plus one' at the Wired Magazine 5th anniversary party). But my brain fixated on the dinnerware. I grew up in driving distance of the Homer Laughlin china factory and we went there on a grade school field trip in the 70s. Their stuff is super expensive but it's nice to hear the factory is still there and they found a market in commercial buyers.
Nothing mundane about this.

And the msm deserves every last drop of vitriol they get over this. Their deliberate and abject failure to put this into context for people results in comments like yours.
Typically they would investigate something like the closest (in terms of eg MSE) image from the training set.

Thank you for the clarification. I'll read more on the subject.

History is god damn hard. That's why it's useful to read the source material whenever possible.

I don't know how many times I've seen The Parable Of the Cave being used, but reading The Republic, really makes you understand what Plato meant with that story.

It's hard for most people to read that stuff though. I've only scratches the surface. It's easier to trust others to donor for us and distill the information.

And in each century, the lessons learned from the same material may be different too.
Ask HN: Request Article why public apologies don't work
Either here or on LessWrong I saw a link to an article (or a study, I don't remember) about why public apologies don't work and only amplify rage/mental need for retaliation.

I've searched my hardest, no luck in browser history too. Please help me find it! I really thought saved a link, but I didn't.

And for this post to have meaningful impact for others, I'm curious:

What do people here think about public apologies, especially corporate ones? Whereas it does depend on a case and how carefully crafted it is, but some things should be generalizable, right?

I put this to a test over a couple years of business travel.

While bringing up a field service group, I had a period of high travel taking me all over the US. I enjoy politics, culture and people and am frequently frustrated with the left - right, very tribal political discourse myself.

So, what I did was find coffee shops and any other events where people might gather and enjoy conversation and had a bunch of chats avoiding labels while also conveying a strong, no judgement, just interested in perspective from different parts of the nation...

Those looked kind of like a two way interview.

Many of those ended up being long, gratifying conversations too.

Based on these, I would submit the following:

People fear judgement.

People fear "that other tribe"

An awful lot of discourse is fear, blame and shame.

eg: teaching "those other people" a lesson

How could anyone tolerate "that other tribe"

You get the idea.

Outside of those conversations, which all told me the US has poor class awareness and with that, equally poor ability to see others as just peers, instead it is all colored in various ways that amplify differences despite the reality being we are all people who run the same basic way, have the same basic needs, struggles.

You are hugely overestimating the level of security of software like this. There's a constant stream of vulnerability discoveries, disclosures and fixes. Those vulnerabilities don't pop into existence the week someone publicly discloses them and informs the vendor, they've been waiting there for anyone to find them for years.

If MS wanted to replace a product like this with one that has a low probability of containing any remotely exploitable vulnerabilities, they'd have to go back to the drawing board, do a full rewrite witha completely different sw development process, take a lot of time or make some major functionality compromises (or probably both).
Why are so many cops blasting music while being filmed? [video]
Well, it's a matter of definitions. What means it's a completely useless and dumb question, but also that the majoritarian opinion on the relevant context is a fact.

That said, I don't think I've seen MVC used with the same meaning twice... what makes the question even worse.
Very nice. As others have said, the sections that start with headings inside double asterisks ("*") should be set off somehow. I would suggest a paragraph break, with the heading either on a separate line or on the same line with some distinguishing typography such as bold.
There is so much doubt in this comment section around the validity of the accusations.

We have a number of countries putting forward the knowledge they have mutually agreed upon. What is shared is known to a high degree of certainty. Any details that are questionable would not have been shared prematurely.

> ignoring decades of groundbreaking, hard hitting reporting done completely within the bounds of the law.

That's a little hyperbolic. I'm certain it's possible to do so within the law, but when it comes to corruption or cover-ups at a government or corporate level, there's simply no other way for a journalist to do their work without leaks. This requires some protection by the law, and once such protection is taken away, it would be nigh-on impossible to get it back. There may be some legal peculiarities about JA's case that make him different from a journalist in some way - IANAL - but I worry that even a technical distinction would be unfair, as he has uncovered much that is of public interest.

This. Also who hates the huge double margins? The slow rendering? The unnatural break-up of text? Meaningless headers and footers? And the whole page-based layout? PDF is not meant for the web. Period.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but which ones, and could you provide any sources? This is the first time I've heard that.
exactly. The author could have gone into the differences between the 2, how they are the same but not really, by choosing the words wisely. He could have made it a non-attack by interjecting "from my experience" or "from what I know" or "the way I usually refer to this" etc. There are no correct answers, since these patterns are never applied in practice in a pure format, pretty much just like the classic design patterns from the GOF. This is a weak example from OP.
As I said, easily fixed by just using secret chats...
Worse things it's that they don't work with group messages and etc. They gave people the choice though. You can use however you feel like it. Basically what you're doing is what Apple does for its users: patronizing. You just think what's great for everyone.

Also, they explain in their FAQs that they don't have the encryption key in the same datacenter, that they have those keys in different datacenters in different jurisdictions so law enforcement can't force them to decrypt the messages.
Disagree. The difference is fundamental and if you don't know it you are going to be stuck with a false understanding of the framework you're working with - and you will likely end up trying to shove bad abstractions into places where they don't belong, resulting in an unmaintainable mess of code. I have seen this happen in a lot of codebases where people fundamentally misunderstand the abstractions they're building on top of.

One of the earliest things the community did with inlets was to run a tunnel server on Heroku, but their free tier left a lot to be desired.

Fly's new PaaS gets you up to 3x tunnels hosted for free. It might be useful if you use inlets or some other server software that runs in containers.

You can also connect this to Kubernetes for Ingress.
> Imagine a cyber defense agency that does nothing but find and fix holes in computing infrastructure and major software projects. It pays for exploits and then works to patch them, promotes bug bounties, develops secure coding standards, audits open source projects, etc. Imagine something like The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) that instead funds critical pieces of software like openSSL, etc.

I like this idea. At the same time, I think the agency - or organization, if you prefer - should look something like the National Transportation Safety Board, where incidents are investigated, reported on, and recommendations are made in a way that improves user safety. Maybe the 'National Digital Safety Board'?
