Itanium was a huge business success for anything AMD64. I think IA64 was too early and targeted the wrong market too be a success of its own. Also being a single source ISA is very unattractive. If the ISA had been open like RISC-V, and the target market was scale out servers and small computers rather than the nonexistent scale up HPC market and almost nonexistent scale up database market, things could have been very different. On the positive side maybe some open source ISA can emerge using EPIC type architecture now that the proprietary version is dead.
Nah, those general attacks require 2 steps. Getting past the router and finding the NAS.

Sure, you could pull off both exploits, but it's not really likely.

The most vulnerable to those attacks likely aren't operating NAS's in the first place. Very few people are (which decreases the likelihood of attack). I'd imagine most of us on HN are regularly patching all of our home hardware. That makes us far less likely to be susceptible to those sorts of general attacks.

If an attacker is looking for something juicy and general, they are far more likely to try and pull off a general attack against someone's laptop or phone. That's where the pool of users is much more broad.
- 41 lightning deaths per year in the USA [1] out of 328M people. 41/328M = 1.25e-7

- 1,263 covid deaths in the USA out of 163M vaccinated [2]. 1263/163M = 7.75e-6 and it's not even August.

Seems wrong, by more than (vaccinated=1263/163M)/(lightning=41/328M) = 62x. Or am I missing something?

It feels to me like this just a kludge added to deal with a lack of a stateful iterator on top of the tree. In this use case, the author indicates that it is about exploiting locality in a request path. Imagine that the tree offered an iterator that maintained a stack of its path and that thing had a seek method. You can optimize that thing to only go back up to the root if it needs to. Stateful iterators make for a nice pairing with btrees. These other hints are papering over the lack of that abstraction as far as I can tell.

Even Delta is not a "variant of high consequence". There will be extreme reluctance to make that declaration because it would signal that lockdowns and other non-pharmaceutical interventions will be needed for a much longer period than we previously thought.
>The consensus didn't break because of laziness or complacency; it broke because it didn't work, because the lockdowns reduced but never eliminated community transmission.

Their critique of most of those cases is the measures were lifted prematurely, before getting all the way to zero infection rate, allowing it to re-spread again. And also the fact that all adjoining countries need the same zero-covid policy, or even ones that get to zero covid can be reinfected by neighbors. It's all (the way to zero), or nothing.

That may be how the laws are written, but that isn't how they're enforced in practice.

Divorces are initiated about 70-90% by women (I've seen numbers quoted throughout the range depending on the time period and the demographics being looked at), women end up with the kids 80-90% of the time, and so on. Almost all spousal support is awarded to women. And so on.

The usual argument about the kids ending up with the mother because the father doesn't want more time with them is often offered without much questioning, but the same people that argue this would not so easily accept similar arguments to explain differences in incarceration rates between people of different ethnic backgrounds, for example.

Which is an absolute joke because everyone using amazon to actually purchase anything signs their terms and data collection is clearly part of those terms (as one would expect for an online retailer).

In addition, they run Amazon Marketplace and a well known recommendation engine and clearly allow sellers to advertise.

This always seems to be more about posturing than anything else. Or rely on weird logic loops.
Can you blame them, they are looking at holes all day.
Thanks very much for the reply. Here's more of a clarifying example:

The idea I was going with Animateable was not animation (poor wording on my part), but effictively giving the properties of a creature to a thing, ie magically animating it. So I have an ability in-game that lets me turn anything into a creature, thus merging the Creature interface with whatever other interface this has. From what I'm getting from you, that means every single thing in the game must implement the Animateable interface.

Now lets do another one, I want a Metalic property. Say these are things that when hit by lightning will give off lightning damage. Then there's a curse called Midas that will let me turn anything metallic.

So I have a Wooden Hammer object which I midas curse mixing in metalic, then a wizard animates it so that it has the properties of a creature, and I have a creature that when I hit with lightning gives off sparks that I can also use to hammer nails.

Point being, in this world you're basically requiring every single thing to implement every single interface which sounds like a nightmare, where with more of an ECS style system, you just merge in the new behavior and call it a day.
Cool find! Thanks for sharing!

This model completely disregards how far SARS-COV2 has already spread. It is now in virtually all countries, and probably in quite a few different mammal species there to boot.

The mutation rate is the same everywhere, and somewhere it's going to mutate to become even more infectious. And from there it will spread to the rest of the world. As has already occured.

Now, all is not bad: lethality in vaccinated people are lower than for the common flu, and the future selection pressure on SARS-COV2 is to be more infectious and give fewer symptoms.

I don't think models such as these should be used to guide policy. And policy should not be guided by attempts to reduce mutation pressure. It's futile and potentially fairly destructive.
I think the rule is that when a technology crosses over to being a company-specific platform that doesn't have wide lease in the markets you work in, then it's a bad idea to use if you want to evade the specialization trap.

Like working on legacy codebases, the question isn't special knowledge of a technology, but whether or not the technology is in wide adoption and/or features high transfer to other technologies.

The problem is that the Cocoa framework, even after the advent of Swift, has always been created with MVC in mind. We're now at a point in iOS where trends have rolled around and now people are saying to pick MVC because that was Apple's intention, other architectures were created because people were doing it wrong:

https://medium.com/flawless-app-stories/the-only-viable-ios-...

Obviously most significant production apps are using variant architectures such as at the bare minimum having view models, and the introduction of SwiftUI and popular earlier frameworks such as RxSwift also complicates things. Most apps aren't using pure MVC, sure, but it doesn't mean that the architecture isn't scalable. The alternatives might also be pretty gnarly:

The entire purpose of the comment was to remark that there is one, ovbviously.

I didn't say "window manager", I named a specific piece of software by name, in a particular context.

It's a reasonable assumption that there is a significant connection of some sort between m4 and this window manager, or at least that my intention was to declare as much.

And what more should I have to say in this context than "fvwm uses it too"? Do you actually care about the details of exactly how fvwm uses m4? If you did, then googling "fvwm m4" gives you all that.
This isn't much better than a random fire, in fact, it's arguably worse. An industrial lithium battery has absolutely no business catching on fire within 24 hours of being put into use. That's simply unacceptable: it means that the significant errors were made in either the manufacturing, assembly, or installation phases. That would be news even if this wasn't a Tesla installation, especially given that the fire was so large a toxic smoke alert had to be issued for the area.

There was no bias in the reporting. There was a fire, during testing. And that's what the articles actually reported. It's possible that the fire wasn't related to manufacturing/assembly issues on Tesla's end (i.e., that it was related to installation), but as the fire just happened that information won't be known for a few days.

The only bias here is your own. Tesla makes mistakes. Accept it, and move on.
Working on a next-gen operating system for a large tech company in the Pacific NorthWest in the previous century, I was able to reliably bluescreen the OS when stressing the network using an internal network protocol driver.

Later that day, I read in one of the trade rags about a columnist talking about the efficacy of a bluescreen screensaver.

1+1 = 2

Less than an hour later, most of it spent transcribing the bluescreen text output, I had a BSOD screensaver. Released it to the company intranet and waited for the ensuing hilarity.

Wasn't long before the guys in the build lab took advantage of the screensaver.

They installed the BSOD screensaver and disconnected the mouse and keyboard.

The main dev on the project comes in, sees the bluescreen and proceeds to restart the computer! Oops.

A few years later, on another multi-year large software project at this PNW tech company, the morning that the software was supposed to be signed off and released to manufacturing, the build lab, different group of people, installed the BSOD screensaver and disconnected the mouse and keyboard on the dogfood server for the project.

When the project manager arrived, he went to check on the status of the server, only to find the BSOD. This time a server restart was averted.

So, it's all fun and games until a server is hard rebooted.

Divesting from profitable companies is against the most important incentive of all (profit/money/value).

The real solution is to implement carbon taxation globally via trade blocs/agreements and then suddenly the incentives are structured in a way that might actually accomplish something.

No amount of divesting is going to accomplish anything. It just makes profitable oil companies a more attractive buy.

Which then begs the question… why is this news? Large funds selling unprofitable companies isn’t usually newsworthy outside of finance papers.

The fact that we’re reading about it at all almost implies it’s nothing but virtue signalling.

Itanium was one of the best processors I worked on and I worked on at least 20 different ones. It was way ahead of its time and the software was not ready and of course it cost your arm and leg and the next three generations, so it was really only ever taken up by large enterprises. I wish Intel and HP were more sensible in how they brought it to market.
Thomas' knowledge-dropping in a sibling comment is more in depth, but anecdotally: I prefer sugar coke after drinking HFCS coke in the USA for a few months, then prefer HFCS coke after drinking sugar coke in europe for a few months.

Non-lite/diet/zero coke is always sickly syrupy oversweet regardless of whether it's sugar or corn syrup. It's sort of what people are going for. I can't believe I used to drink liters of it a day growing up; I limit myself to a dozen servings a year or so (of the full sweet stuff) these days.
Dude, there has been no data breach.

When you sign up with amazon you agree to their terms. These are pretty darn clear.

The decision rests on a whole complicated series of make believe facts. That users were not told their data would be collected (false) or that they weren't told or aware that amazon used ads or targeting (despite amazon recommends stuff on literally every page or similar customers bought xxx).

The idea that this is a data leak is crazy - amazon is doing stuff in-house there is no sale to third parties here.
These cases are often ridiculous political statements - so they get appealed and the fines knocked way down.
>aren't you doing the same thing?

Maybe I should have been more explicit: My point wasn't that you implied somebody was wrong. My point was that you implied almost everybody was wrong, and, more importantly, did not elaborate. Of course the act of disagreeing involves implying other people are wrong, but if you only assert that they are wrong and don't say anything else, it is insulting/dismissive. In my comment, I gave background for my opinion.

>I don't see anything illicit with her showing the side of her breast

This is a pretty heavily reductive description. Again - context is everything. Even full blown nudity can be non-"adult" for some reasonable definitions of the word (though it's also arguably reasonable to have a definition that does always include full nudity, regardless of cultural disagreement! Maybe we should encourage content hosts to split the word up into more parts, like TV ratings do - what's the overhead on that?).

>does your definition extend to the classics?

Why not? Some of them are quite adult. The Venus de Milo? No. Caravaggio's Holofernes? Maybe? But this is just my opinion on a word: "Adult". I don't have a strong opinion on the implications without more context. E.g. the artists of thematically adult works shouldn't be punished, and children shouldn't be disallowed from ever seeing them. Regardless, as in many cases of analogy, the similarities are only on the surface, and the many subtle and contextual differences cast doubt on its usefulness. The most salient problem with the question is that "how much body is exposed" is only one small parameter that by itself can't determine adult-ness.

Really though, the most important part isn't what makes semantic sense to call "adult", but what the practical consequences are of tagging - if YouTube tags the Caravaggio as "adult", do some advertisers pull out of that painting? What's the likely loss of income for Caravaggio? How much of that is reasonable based on the advertisers' target audiences? How much of it is because the advertisers don't want their product associated with that painting, vs how much of it is simply because advertisers don't think their audience is actually even looking at that painting? How much of the unreasonable portion of consequences is YouTube's fault, and how much is the fault of the advertisers? It seems like there's more interest in tilting at puritan windmills than considering the practical issues, which is really the only point I was making in my original post.
In my mind the risk is to be heavily concentrated in tech (or even in a subspecialty of tech). Investing in diversified stocks is somewhat risky, but way less than putting all your eggs into the basket "tech jobs will always pay me $200k+ no matter what".
