I had the impression, the types get in the name exactly because they can't change.
I don't think thats true. Lots of companies aren't really innovating but just do small variations on existing solutions with nice marketing. Think about all the new companies we see now: ad tech, cyber security, employee collaberation etc etc. Are they all operating in unknown models? They may not have a product market fit but thats a different beast.
Well, sorry, i said "for sure" because i was hit by the flu october 2019, and my recovery left me weaker to other respiratory diseases (first time asthma) and caused me balances issue for a year. But ancdata is not data, so i'm sorry. Let's say chickenpox, West Nile?

Btw, i did not say "irreversible". I did lost a summer of training, probably because of the flu, and this is irreversible, but i'm pretty sure my balance is OK now (i had asthma 3 weeks ago, so the respiratory sytsem damage is not repaired however)
Yes, I remember when OLED:s were far off future technology for mass consumption. I think the first OLED display I saw was a tiny Sony PAL TV that probably cost an arm and leg back then. The analyst consensus back then was that OLEDs are too hard/expensive/etc for generic consumers.
Not so bad for the worst disease in history I guess?

Sure, within Europe, and especially from the perspective of the Great Schism, Greece is eastern. From the global perspective, not so much. I have yet to meet a person who'd argue that the region with Greco-Roman cultural heritage somehow excludes Greece, of all places.
Some problems in the dataset of a large study of Ivermectin for Covid-19
“I think Bigfoot is blurry, that’s the problem. It’s not the photographer’s fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that’s extra scary to me. There’s a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run, he’s fuzzy, get out of here.”
— Mitch Hedberg

Maybe they have some sort of skin on the craft that scatters light in a way where it appears not to be in focus.

If the craft is, in effect, bending gravity to fly, maybe it also bends the light around it causing it to look blurry.
Why China's Digital Currency Doesn't Matter
> Because lockdowns Haven't worked or we wouldn't be having them again in Australia.

But australia has beat many flare ups by locking down, right back to 0. The fact it keeps coming back from countries that dont lock down is hardly proof lockdowns never work.

The thing about r values is it doesnt need everybody to be washing their hands, just enough to break the chain. If the person who would have infected you never caught it, then you wont get it, and so on.

>You're literally doing what I said. You're using the one metric to justify never ending lockdowns

Total deaths? Yeah im using that metric. A lot of people have died, australias response shows they died unnecessarily.

Let’s face it, even with no explicit lock-in or proprietary features in use, changing providers is still a pain.
A few years ago I suffered from an autoimmune issue for about 3 months. It took most of that time just to convince a doctor to give me meloxicam, which is just strong panadol/aspirin really. Having a chronic fever for a few months really made it hard to do anything more substantial than play video games.

I don't know how we teach general practitioners, but we are doing something horribly wrong. A lot of long covid people must be finding this out too, and it is just super sad.
With normal domains, the registrar can move your domain without your approval.

So they could do so out of malice or because they get tricked into believing you gave them the go or because they got hacked or got ordered to do so by some governmental institution or or or ...
Looking at the scatter plot from their most statistically significant finding (parahippocampal gray matter change), the effect size is tiny, and the variance is large. Nearly half the case participants had more gray matter after getting COVID.

Sounds like the easiest solution to that is to do-away with non-native plants (i.e. Kentucky bluegrass, which could be considered an invasive species in North America) and do something more along the lines of what the OP did in this Reddit post*[0], a wildflower alternative of all-native plants (and although it's only a small section this year, OP claims their parents have expressed interest in expanding it). It requires basically zero maintenance, and is incredibly beneficial to the local environment.

[0]: https://redd.it/oph88p

*It's pointed out a few times that only a few of the plants are local native species, many aren't North American at all.
I believe it is much larger number of people who have reasoned concerns about the governments approach.

The narrative being pushed to us is anyone who might have a different opinion to that of the authorities is a 'weirdo' or 'conspiracy theorist'. At any protest, the media will always show that 'anti-vax, bill gates conspiracy' guy holding up his sign and lumping everyone into that group. The majority of those protesting are rational people worried about their jobs, their businesses closing, their children's education and what the economic fallout will do to basic services like health, education, infrastructure.
I’m not surprised you asked how CloudYali is different from AWS Config. We have been asked this earlier as well.

As we know AWS Config, when debuted in 2014 it promised to be the configuration auditor for AWS. The mandate for any team working in AWS workload management, is security and cost effectiveness along with operational efficiency. This requires a great deal of visibility into the cloud workloads. These workloads consists of cloud assets (or resources) from multiple AWS services. As a configuration auditor, AWS Config is supposed to provide a complete visibility into the cloud assets, keep the configuration history of changes and help in achieving the regulatory compliance.

Today AWS has more than 200 services, and more than 500 cloud assets types. In 2017, AWS Config supported ~26 services and 72 resource types. In 2021, the coverage has reached barely 103 resource types. This is ~20% coverage across all the asset types. These assets have relationships which may cross the service boundaries. These relationships are important to be understood, from security point of view (lateral movement attacks). Similarly you need to know about all your assets from cost point of view. You never know if someone accidentally started any expensive service, say macie and you realise it only when the monthly bills arrive. Problem with AWS Config is lack of coverage and even slower addition of newer resource types into coverage.

Yet another issue is usability. AWS Config is a regional service, which needs to be configured across all regions and accounts. This is a sizeable effort. Recently only AWS Config started with Organizations support. When you’re in midst of incident resolution, the important t for any cloud team is access to historical information about the configuration changes. AWS Config UI and CLI is not something you want to deal with at that moment.

For CloudYali, the mission is to provide visibility across all the cloud with usability in mind. CloudYali works on multiple accounts and all regions by default. This means, by default you are looking at the cloud assets across your whole cloud. We have currently added a support for ~ 250 asset types (and we will keep adding).

CloudYali, also maintains the lifetime of the assets, and the history of configuration changes. It is like applying version control to the cloud. The configuration changes are visualised on the timeline, where you can choose to see configuration attributes at any given time. We clearly mark the assets as Live/Active or Deleted if asset no longer exists. It is also possible to filter assets based on the accounts, regions, or time duration so that it is easier to pinpoint assets. This makes troubleshooting easier for cloud operations. Consider for example, rules in load balancer, min/max for auto-scaling group. These things are often changed manually during production issues and if you don't have backups, it's quite easy to mis-configure and then spend time trying to recall previous values. CloudYali intends to be helpful in such scenarios.

I hope this answers your query.

Thanks,
Do a quick search of the terms: Linus Torvalds security. Pick any one of the results. While some of his points with regard to utility vs security seem to have merit... when you switch out "secure" with "correct" the problem becomes pretty obvious.
I did a 23 & Me test, pulled down my raw data, and ran the data through some services that check more things than 23 & Me. One of my SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) indicated I have a higher chance of a psychotic reaction to marijuana (it's been a long time, so I may not be remembering everything exactly).

I've never smoked, so can't say anything anecdotal. But, I found it interesting that this was something that might be determined (affected?) by our genes.
Possibly I am missing something, but the use of volume shadow copies or direct (RAW) disk access to retrieve particular files that are "in use" is a long time established possibility.

Ask HN: Why does the HN userbase hate crypto so much?
There are many use cases where crypto will make life so much better. Many of them revolve around giving people peace of mind where currently they have to worry.

Why does every mention of these use cases get downvoted and hated upon here on HN?
Where did anyone mention the US?

Or is this just the classic assumption that all people on the internet are American?

They did not have a control group for “being locked inside for a year” which I bet also has a pretty bog effect on cognition.
Exactly, it's subjective fun. Some people like languages where compiler errors point you in the right direction, expressive features like ergonomic strings, closures, syntactic macros, etc.

Other folks are masochists and get their jollies from cryptic errors, segfault debugging, pouring through valgrind traces, and of course manually managing memory. If you aren't suffering, are you really programming?

I tease, but not entirely. Sometimes I do in fact enjoy the challenge of C programming. But it's squarely type 2 fun.
I remember having similar issues with more than Reddit. If I remember right, I had similar problems with Quora as well as StackOverflow. I specifically remember this working fine for me and then suddenly it broke for multiple sites. This was maybe 2 years ago though.
I would highly recommend using DOMPurify over sanitize-html. It is a lot smaller in bundle size, it is also well maintained: https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify

The author mentions to build their own sanitizer, which I would recommend against. Maybe for this use case (extracting a few b tags), it’d be fine, but as soon as links are involved: please stand on the shoulder of giants in order to prevent XSS.
PS: Here is a recent example:

Rust in Linux has a known constantly showing negative consequence: it introduces another language to the stack. Furthermore, Rust is quite different from C. This makes the whole massively more complicated, and increases the amount of knowledge needed to understand the whole.

The same effect applies every time a new language is introduced, if it doesn't completely replace the previously used language. In this case, Rust won't.

Zig might be a better fit, given how much more similar to C it is.
About scaling a large scale site with the help of haskell
About 93% of global warming goes into the surface layers of the ocean, cutting of circulation of nutrients, which has led to seaweed ecosystem and harvest reduction or collapse in different coastal regions (Australia, California,SE Asia for example). https://www.climatefoundation.org/ has developed a system to upwell water from beneath the thermocline over the past fifteen years. They have shown more than 3x growth over controls, and are looking to scale up and grow kelp offshore and in the open ocean.
we are up to 2 billion+ covid infections globally, so if 1% have Long Haul…where the hell are they?
I don't think it lacks code review, it's famously hard to get half-baked stuff through Torvalds.
The snipping tool.
OK, that at least allows me to understand what the sentence is supposed to say.

I still find the content of the claim highly dubious. For one thing it would obviously depend on how big the label is. In addition it certainly depends on what kind of optics are in front of that camera. My smartphone camera has more than a million pixels but there's no way I could read a label on an object a mile away with it.
The vulnerability here is that regular non-administrator users can also read sensitive registry hives from the shadow copy. This allows for local privilege escalation exploits.
One Navy pilot insisted on Joe Rogan/Lex Fridman that UFOs would visit their carrier strike group day after day for weeks.

I always wondered why nobody thought about getting a few goddamn proper cameras out there in the fleet and on the planes so that we would finally have some quality high resolution pictures.

If I was a senior officer on one of those ships sailing near California, I would have hired 5 camera crews from Hollywood and called Elon Musk to lend me the team who is filming SpaceX launches, who are able to get clear pictures of a rocket screaming and many kilometers per second from tens of miles away.

If I was just a regular sailor, I would have gotten my hands on a DSLR with a good zoom lens and film it for eternal Internet and world fame. Imagine being the one who got the first clear shot of an UFO that you see every day for weeks.

Or maybe that pilot was just full of shit...

Honestly, those make me want to buy it. Refreshing honest. I don't think the market here is people that'll be put off by that.
It's also a problem for application themselves IMO. Cargo combined with dependency pinning brings most of the disadvantages of similar environments with centralized package handling: the ease of adding package dependencies increases the number of dependencies themselves very rapidly. Overly-narrow version pinning forces per-package lockstep updates of the various dependencies, which in turn means multiple versions of the same package will get pulled two-or-three levels deep. This ensures each single rust package or update you build is almost a guaranteed rebuild-the-world even with a shared cache dir. And we're not touching the problem of building projects where rust is only part of it: annoying if you want to link other stuff into rust, even more so if you want to do the opposite.

I'm following a couple of projects that transitioned to rust, and my experience as a contributor is not stellar. A minimal rust project can take hundreds of mb of disk space just in dependencies, and double that for build space. The solution for some has been providing build bots, but again doesn't help me as a contributor, where I need to be able to rebuild from source.

This has on me almost the same effect produced by large projects: I only contribute if I have a large vested interest in the package, otherwise I just avoid because it's time consuming.
I think the parent commenter may have been referring to how Ford was floundering with no apparent clue. In 2019, there was little public indication of the legacy automobile manufacturers being serious about EVs. Meanwhile, Tesla had been investing in battery manufacturing technology for years.

It takes a long time to thoughtfully design a new chassis, electrified or not. It also takes a long time to build up manufacturing capacity, especially when they key ingredients such as battery cells were not integral to the chassis of the past.

The F-150 Lightning has clearly evoked interest. It could have come a lot sooner. But perhaps Ford can be an effective fast follower, especially if it figures out how to address sticky points like 1) managing dealer relationships and 2) writing software. These issues are business/cultural challenges, so may require more care to address than engineering problems, which Ford has a history (a century!) solving effectively.
fascinating read...i bought into his theory right away
Birds are much harder to take pictures of than a UFO would, though. They are flying only a few meters above you, therefore having much higher and less predictable angular velocity, as well as requiring more lens movement to focus compared to infinity.

I can take clear pictures of airplanes flying ~400m above me without any issues.
You could say the same of people refusing to move beyond C89, Python 2, Perl 5,..... and that is the whole point of perceived complexity and current features of those languages in 2021.

Self-hosting is time-consuming and potentially dangerous with respect to security.

You need to know what you are doing.

x—————-

Example: Dropbox is open to the world. You can share files with everyone. Can you properly secure a nextcloud instance?

VPN may not be applicable, because you have to share files with others. Even then, you need to have fair amount of knowledge about networking, protocols, security, current software, vulnerabilities, etc. Even with SSH, you need to be careful. And this is only the security part, I am not getting into a dozen of other concerns.

Overall, as software complexity grows, self-hosting will be increasingly harder.

Encrypting client-side and using a managed solution is a compelling option.

My conspiracy theory is that aliens don't want definite proofs of their existence, just vague ones.

So in all of their technological might they track in real time the location of all photo sensors in the world, and only reveal themselves in locations where only potato cameras are present.
It's definitely nostalgia for me. I still remember the day I got Shadow of the Beast for my Amiga 500, back in 1989. I was blown away by the graphics, especially parallax scrolling, and sound. I taught myself C on that machine (Lattice 5.x?) Some of the things I learned still are with me to this day. Before that I had only used BASIC.

I later upgraded to an Amiga 3000. That was my favorite machine of the early 90's era. Eventually, Linux started taking off and around 1994 I moved on from the Amiga.

I play around with the Amiga occasionally on various emulators. I also got a MIST box some years ago (which is an FPGA-based emulator.) IMO the FPGA stuff isn't worth it given the speed of emulation you can obtain even on a Raspberry Pi.

OpenSSL code audits having been great, hence why it is such a good example of FOSS secure software.
Same for me, same. I spent years writing trading engines in C and C++ and have been rejected real quick because I don't use some modern template feature. A lot of stuff like the newer memory model and auto pointers are awesome but some of that template stuff is not for me when I look at the thousands of lines of assembly language, or worse still, huge chunks of code the linker does not throw out and is actually gets executed.
I think it's just a 'flex' to attract candidates for particular culture fit so maybe, as another comment pointed out, it's probably best to steer clear of places that don't care for your real world experience in the field.
