> If the American revolution had happened 100 years later it would have looked like the Boer war.

Smart. It would have. That is indeed how you fight an insurgency.

Not sure how new it really is though. Compare and contrast to the Harrying of the North.

> to invent the concentration camp

I hear they borrowed the idea from the Spanish in Cuba.

Compared to alternatives, it was supposed to be more humane: "Get the civilians out of harm's way (and keep them from aiding the guerillas without killing them)".

It wasn't until the Nazi extermination camps of WW2 that the phrase "concentration camp" took on such negative valences.

Granted people did die in concentration camps, but the deaths were of things like cholera -- the same diseases that would run through army camps. Arguably we still have them today, under the new name "refugee camp".

> the Boer war

It shouldn't be left out that the British had a decent case for moral high ground in that war. The Boers were religious hyper-conservatives who believed God had given them a right to Black slaves, whereas the British had banned slavery throughout the Empire and were going to some expense to enforce this.
TL;DR of that one: she activated a login lock by filling in the wrong password a couple of times.

Zoom support should have been able to see "this account has been locked out due to too many login attempts" though, so that's a bit of a fail. And of course the login error should say as much.

Ask HN: Have you done a masters conversion degree for software development?
A well ranked university near me runs a masters degree program in software development, which is a conversion program for those who don't have formal software development training or education. It's part time which suits my career. Have you had any experience on a program like this and can offer any advice for someone considering doing one? Thanks
Obviously I don't. And that's totally consistent with learning from Zig about how to improve the cross compilation story for Rust. (Trivially: compile some things from source, but not other things.)

I'm honestly pretty disappointed at your participation in this thread. It seems like you're going out of your way to assume the worst possible interpretation of what folks are saying.

One aspect of the history of the era is that it was also a collision of the PC world and the Internet world which were largely isolated until the Web era. One was hobbyists with BBSs and then (disconnected) PCs in business. (Although the latter was uneven. I worked at a computer company and we used terminals until probably the early 90s.) And the Internet was largely academic until the Web.

I've recently been trying to find an apartment in NYC. Every apartment has a gas stove. And all of the post-war apartments (and most of the older ones, too) don't have ventilation in the kitchen — at most they'll have a tiny passive vent opening in a corner somewhere, and even that's not guaranteed. The fans over the cooktops, if present, don't connect to outside air but just recirculate the stove exhaust throughout the kitchen. I don't understand how such designs aren't banned by building codes.

GPU memory is a key limit here and RL worsens the problem because it requires some eligibility trace or memory system. One option you could try would be to store past S,A,R,S' tuples on disc using something like DeepMind Reverb, and have a small batch size and simpler model.

What governments know based on intelligence and what they say publicly are not the same thing. If the EU thinks that making a direct public accusation would be antagonistic and would not serve their interests then they won't make one. That does not mean that they don't know what's going on, don't protect themselves, or even don't retaliate.

Yeah the gold accounting bit just slipped in through force of habit. Sorry about that, too much time arguing badly on HN.

The key point there is the implementation of capital gains tax. It isn't so much that I have issues with CGT. CGT is ok, if we're going to tax things we may as well tax Capital Gains. But, if someone tries to avoid fiat, they're going to be imprisoned because they can't comply with the IRS when they come to collect the fake capital gains caused by inflation. Ditto income tax now that I think about it.

The point here is that the "[you don't understand] history, economic cycles, inflation-deflation and the role of monetary policy" counter is patronising and pretty obviously wrong. It isn't for our own good, it is because they want to put more of the burden for keeping the country running on savers. That isn't good for savers. And they're doing it that way because if they implemented an equivalent but obvious policy people would point out "hang on, taxing disproportionately from savers seems like it might be a bad idea" and probably carry the debate.
Here's the realization that got me over the "yuck" of nil punning, well two realizations.

First, the whole billion dollar mistake is nil POINTERS, not the value nil. Nil in lisp is a value. This is not really a problem, and in fact there's even a design pattern of the null object pattern (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_object_pattern) to reproduce this behavior in OOP languages.

Second, in CL, there really is no such thing as nil. Nil is the empty list, they are the same thing. you could search/replace every instance of nil in your code with '() and you'd have the same code. And before you get flashbacks of Javascript and null, just remember unlike JS, there's only a single falsey value and that is the empty list, and there is no automatic type conversion that has surprising boolean semantics.

Ultimately CL manages to turn nil punning into a very nice feature that makes the spaghetti code you're talking about unnessary while also avoiding many of the 'null'-y issues of other languages due to

1) nil is a value

2) there is only one falsey value and that is nil

3) no automatic type conversion

Banning all of those won't work - remember the Prohibition? - but there's plenty of discouragement things going on, at least on this side of the pond. Alcohol and tobacco are heavily taxed, tobacco can no longer be advertised for, displayed, or be in any kind interesting (bland packaging), and that's after they had to have big warnings about the health risks of smoking. And there's plans to introduce sugar taxes - which I would be more on board with if those taxes were used to subsidize and lower the price of 'good' food / essentials.

Attack vs. espionage are treated differently.

Espionage is done with the intention is to steal information. Espionage is relatively normal between states. Condemn, file charges, then do the same back a them.

Attack is when the intention is to cause harm or coerce. Ransomware, intentionally disrupting or destroying systems. Attacks from foreign government or entities acting behalf of an government are essentially acts of war.

The West is condemning together "mixing" where Chinese government sanctioned groups are doing attacks for financial gain on the side. China should spy responsibly and stop attacks.

Many people would be surprised to learn America has been at war for about 93% of the years its been existence[0].

The Roman empire was at war nearly non-stop for centuries too and with probably varying degrees of public awareness[1].

Apple juice is about 10% sugar, I don't know why you're mentioning an improbable number.

> The problem is that deciding upon a strictly limited subset of HTTP and HTML, slapping a label on it and calling it a day would do almost nothing to create a clearly demarcated space where people can go to consume only that kind of content in only that kind of way. It's impossible to know in advance whether what's on the other side of a https:// URL will be within the subset or outside it. It's very tedious to verify that a website claiming to use only the subset actually does, as many of the features we want to avoid are invisible (but not harmless!) to the user

This is a consumer choice. You don't trust Microsoft, you don't use its services. On the government level, you ask for regulations if the situation is escalated (if necessary). But dealing with global cyberattacks is not Microsoft problem and it's not connected to one company or one service. It's an international responsibility to act and establish a framework that prevents such attacks.
It's also clear that UK standards aren't very high.

9p is not a file system but a byte oriented file based RPC protocol for transferring data. In plan 9 the idea is files are objects in the programming sense which you create/open/read/write/remove/close. Example: your mouse is a file, /dev/mouse, which you open to read the coordinates and click events.

In plan 9 files are served by file servers, programs which speak 9p. The plan 9 kernel knows nothing of disks or file systems living on those disks. In fact, you don't mount disks in plan 9, you mount 9p connections. So to access files on a Fat formatted disk you need a file server program called dossrv(4) which opens the disk file and listens for 9p messages and performs the necessary Fat operations.

Fun fact: A common plan 9 newbie mistake is to mount a disk file directly as in Unix. This causes the kernel to write a 9p T_attach message to the beginning of the disk overwriting the boot sector. http://man.postnix.pw/9front/5/attach
