Possibly. The last version of ubuntu I tried was 20.10 and that was when I threw in the towel and went Manjaro.

While on 20.04 I did attempt to upgrade the kernel which fixed some issues but introduced others. For me I just got to the point where fiddling and fixing was no longer fun and I just wanted to use my computer without it randomly freezing, rebooting, low FPS.

I think if I ram ubuntu on my parents computer which is much older they would be totally fine. It’s definitely a lot better now than when I tried switching them 10 years ago. But for me it was a painful experience cos I like keeping my hardware current.
The Space Shuttle costed $1.6 billion per launch. There's not a whole lot of things that would be cheaper to repair than to build a new one and launch it on a Falcon 9.

I agree that the Space Shuttle had a cool factor that nothing else does.
The meme that needs to die is referring to Tesla as $TSLAQ. The trailing Q indicates a company in bankruptcy.

The addition of Tesla to the S&P 500 means that bankruptcy is now much less likely than previously.

Huge amounts of money specifically track the S&P, and huge additional amounts of money "closet index". Index money flows into the stock market on a daily basis and creates price support for all S&P 500 stocks, including Tesla.

Create a panic for a small period and get rich.

I agree this is a viable strategy for betting against many stocks. But now Tesla has probably gotten too big for that strategy. I've tried to read Reddit WallStreetBets but there's so much noise. Smarter people than I undoubtedly can make money on the back of that army of "not very smart" people.
Makes sense. Seems like the incentives will be problematic either way.

Personally, I'd just have the state cover it, but explicitly not have it come out of the police budget. A reimbursement check or tax credit could work.

In the event that malice is suspected on the part of any involved party (police department, property owner, 911 caller, home invader, etc.), it would be on the state to press charges and recoup its loss.
It's important to note that this article talks about something that is missing from most statically typed languages.

It's best to refrain from debating static VS dynamic as generic stereotype and catch all.

You need to look at Clojure vs X, where if X is Haskell, Java, Kotlin and C#, what the article talks about doesn't apply and Clojure has the edge. If it's OCaml or F# than they in some scenarios don't suffer from that issue like the others and equal Clojure. But then there are other aspects to consider if your were to do a full comparison.

In that way, one needs to understand the full scope of Clojure's trade offs as a whole. It was not made "dynamic" for fun.

Overall, most programming languages are quite well balanced with regards to each other and their trade-offs. What matters more is which one fits your playing style best.
Bombardier already had a huge backlog of orders and the program was getting profitable. Since the tariffs were later ruled illegal, why not simply get the government support to weather the storm?

This has convinced me never to work for a FAANG. That much interview rigor leads away from the "gut instincts" which lead to great hires.
Auto-MDIX was starting to become the norm on nicer hardware when GbE started gaining adoption, and the MDI layer of GbE effectively obsoletes the concept of MDIX by specifying that pairs must always be probed. This was sort of required due to GbE requiring four pairs while Fast Ethernet required two, it is sort of expected that a GbE interface will encounter improper cables and it needs to detect that to degrade to Fast Ethernet.

So for GbE it's all but guaranteed, for Fast Ethernet it depends on how much money the device vendor was willing to spend on the interface, basically. Later laptops should be pretty reliable.

Or course none of this has anything to do with Windows, it all happens at a hardware level which can sometimes make investigating problems a bit painful.

Most malware is developed to serve some profit motive, not as a result of actual abstract malice toward the victim. I really don't think that's enough to disqualify it. Merrium-Webster defines malware as "software designed to interfere with a computer's normal functioning"[0]. WebRoot defines it as "any type of software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner's informed consent"[1]. Red Hat's definition is a bit broader: "malicious software, including any software that acts against the interest of the user"[2]. Most anti-cheat software would fit all of these criteria, with perhaps some quibbling over what counts as "informed consent".

This reasoning is great.

When black churches are being shot up, that is not an appropriate time to criticize Uganda's action as a country.

When South Americans are being detained in cages at the border, that is not an appropriate time to criticize Venezuela's action as a country.

When Muslims are experiencing intense Islamophobia, that is not an appropriate time to criticize Syria's action as a country.

> We're ALL going to get Delta at some point now,

That's by no means certain; even ignoring the possibility of effective countermeasures, a more transmissible variant could displace it (if we’re lucky, it could also be one producing less severe disease, the way it was when Epsilon variant for a while displaced most others in California, before Delta, which is more transmissible than Epsilon, took hold.)
The emacs bias is even part of Lisp advocates mental models, so it's no surprise that a lot of would-be Lispers give up at the thought of having to use it. But there are alternatives, and it might be fruitful for advocates to routinely point them out. vim (my preference) has two slime plugins that work really well, Atom has https://atom.io/packages/slima and as you point out there's lots of Emacs-variants. There's also lem and Second-Climacs might one day be good. And of course there's the two proprietary IDEs with LispWorks and Allegro that both provide trial versions to see if you like them before shelling out money.

Apart from editors, more editor-independent tools would be nice. McCLIM's Clouseau is a pretty cool graphical inspector/variable watcher.

IMO what holds it back is lack of a big company using and promoting it along with tooling (which might be in the form of alternate IDEs or good plugins for popular editors like VS Code or IntelliJ). Clojure has shown what's possible without such, most use emacs but there are popular alternatives too, and for a time it was even as popular as Go, but Go has BigCo backing, and we can see how much further that brought it despite its many shortcomings.
> By that logic the most intelligent animals is a cockroach

Firstly, please notice the quotes around intelligence; clearly we’re playing with a fast and loose definition.

Secondly, if humans had driven themselves into extinction with nuclear warfare, that would as well have been true.

Intelligence is not mere symbolic processing, nor symbolic processing is guaranteed to be adaptive, as evidenced with its failure modes in our perennial irrationalities.

> Viruses and prions reproduce, not only are they not intelligent, they are not even alive.

I know one particular virus twisting humanity’s arm these days, and in a way that is not fully intelligible to us yet. I wouldn’t readily diminish the internal logic that’s going on there.

What if we could stage a rental strike with teeth?

Buy up some land in multiple states to build a "campground" that has Yurts for office space (work from home), plenty of places to pitch your own tent, showers, bathrooms, etc... it'd be somewhat less comfortable than 'normal life' but in the end if rental units sit vacant long enough it'll drive prices down, no?
That's not honest. Wireguard on Linux is really hard to install. I managed to install the "server" side after a lot of huff and puff but I've given up on the "client" side. On windows, the "client" side really is as easy as you say though. It's LOVELY
Neil Ferguson was a hack at the beginning of this pandemic, and he's a hack now. Absolutely bunk science. Glad that the media can now at least tell the truth.

There was some scandal here in Australia recently where we discovered our plastics were all getting bundled up and shipped to China. I think it came out because China stopped accepting it. I don't think any of it was getting recycled at all.

Update: After doing some reading to jog my memory. China stopped buying it so there was oversupply here in Australia, so the price plummeted, so it was not economical to do anything with it, so I believe it was stockpiled.

Anyhow, building things to last and be re-usable is significantly better than recycling.
I don't mean to offend the honor of frozen vegetables, which often are fresher even in the fancy grocery store, are equally nutritious (maybe less true of canned ones), and are perfectly suitable for many uses. Nor do I mean to pretend to have some kind of deep understanding of how the other half lives. My point is just that if the grocer had nutritious options and the dollar store just sells garbage then there are some negatives to the latter replacing the former for people's health.

Your host OS has to allow for unprivileged user namespaces, which can add significant attack surface. There is a sysctl for this:

`sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone`

Basically user namespaces let you do the same thing as pid or network namespaces, but with users. This means you can have a "fake" root user. The Linux kernel, marvel of software that it is, is easily confused by this and basically hands you trivial privescs if you're this "fake" root user.

This problem is pretty much only getting worse because user namespaces are becoming more powerful whereas kernel security is staying the same (ie: not moving at all).

That's why it's gated in most distros by default.

I'm not the guy you asked but I'm guessing he's referring to the "blessed way" of doing React, which seems to change every couple of years. Class components one year, pure components the next, functional components the next. A couple of years after that you're mad if you use React without Redux, the next year you'd be crazy to do Redux. State management a year later should be done with hooks, as should everything else. So what's going to be the next piece of guidance that will make our apps perfect?
When people present R0 as a property of the pathogen, you can take it as hot panicky air.

How come other tech companies can handle customer support but Facebook can't? Oh that's right they can but just don't do it. It's not like they can't afford it but would mean slightly less profits. Like I said they don't do it because the cost of not having a support staff hasn't exceeded the financial liability of not having one. Tech companies can and do provide customer support at scale. It's not that it can't be done, Facebook just doesn't do it because you losing your account is an unnoticeably minute lose of potential revenue compared to the cost of providing support. You losing your Facebook account doesn't cost Facebook shit. Fixing that problem does. But instead of just proposing Facebook hire a support staff you want everyone to now give copies of their ID's to Facebook instead? Facebook. One of the most egregious exploiters of our personal information for profit. And the answer is to just give them more because the massive amount of information they already have isn't enough to solve this trivial issue. Have you considered that Facebook is just a corporation who's sole purpose is to generate revenue for it's owners and shareholders like every other corporation and you are just a commodity to them? Facebook has the money to solve your problems with Facebook but why would they bother when no matter what they do everyone just keeps using Facebook.
IKEA Has Cleverly Combined an Air Purifier with a Side Table
Yeah I definitely don't disagree with you. The backing can change over time, and I linked to a tool that programmatically checks the backing of DAI so that's what I quoted.

In Tether's case they are backed by almost no USD and mostly short term loans to undisclosed entities... I do not think Tether is legit, and USDC is questionable as well. Without third party auditing it's hard to trust any of this stuff.

My original response was trying to highlight how DAI is mostly made up of USDC (at this time), and USDC is a direct competitor to USDT. So in what world would it make sense for USDC to bail out USDT in the event USDT is revealed as a total fraud.
NYT Crossword Hints: Harold Who Directed “Groundhog Day”

Sorry for the late rely. HN doesn’t make it easy to see comment replies.

You’re misunderstanding what I said and you’ve got it backwards. Jesus was speaking metaphorically when he said “Gehenna”, not literally. The eternal fire was not literal and Gehenna was not literal. It’s a symbol for eternal destruction.

The reason he mentioned the worm is because the Jews at that time understood that the worm would eat dead bodies in the literal Gehenna. Jesus was pointing out that their future death would be eternal with no hope of a resurrection if they continued down a certain spiritual path.

Also, please look up the verses I cited previously. The symbolic understanding of Gehenna is in agreement with those other verses where God clearly does not condone burning people, let alone burning them eternally.

Also, there is no place in the Bible that says that the “soul” will reside in hell forever, separate from the body. The whole person gets thrown in Gehenna, which is pointed out in the context of the verse you cited (see verses 43 to 47).
I appreciate the correction, but the risk still seems minimal.

1. The attack is very situational. There are hundreds of usb flash drive controllers out there (see: https://www.usbdev.ru/files/). The chance that your flash drive a) can be re-programmed b) the malware author bothered making a payload for c) copier is infected are all very small.

2. The attack is very visible, since the user would notice the computer randomly opening command prompts and typing commands. It's also very easy to interrupt. Stray mouse/keyboard inputs would foil the attack, as will unplugging the USB drive.

3. Despite how visible the attack is (see above), the lack of empirical reports probably suggests it's not a real attack that's being carried out
The Power Broker Is Still Not Available as an E-Book. Except It Is
COBRA numbers are and have always been absolutely nuts, in fact I've come to the conclusion that they exist simply as a disincentive for employees to leave (along with non-competes).
I think we can teach people how to hire. The way I would do it is three-part:

1. An exam. You literally take a test. This mostly takes care of the technical portion, evaluates your cognitive skills, IQ, EQ, whatever. The idea is to get a general idea of what you "know" and gives some baseline reference numbers. You could also do a "coding test" as part of the exam, but I would not lean too heavily on those as they are subjective too. You would need to look at the results to see where they were strong/weak, as for some roles it's fine to be weak one place and strong another.

2. A veteran/senior (or two) interviews the candidate, asking deep questions to probe into the person's actual experience - because experience is 1000% more important than "what you know". The way I do this is a "binary search" of questions both simple and very specific, and based on responses I get more general or more specific. I can very quickly discover how much real-world experience the person has this way.

3. An interview with the team. This is actually for the team, not the candidate. The team can see whether the candidate is a mesh for their particular culture. It's just as important that the candidate fits the team as whether they're capable of "performing".

Within this system, you wouldn't ever do more than 5 rounds (3 on average), you get a mix of "impartial facts" (the exam) and "gut feeling", and you still have the human factor both evaluating the person's experience/responses and checking for culture fit.
Since you mention COBOL, a lot of work is being done in COBOL to export JSON feeds exactly for this. Since the late 2000s and 2010s back-end core banking space (in larger banks) was largely about moving from disparate code to a common trunk, this, at least for friends 'lucky' enough to be connected to this, seems to be implemented as a general solution so should XTZ country decide to do their own regulatory implementation of Open Banking/PSD2 a lot of the ground work will have been done.
Unfortunately, that's not an option. It's submit a receipt for reimbursement.

> If people didn't need leap seconds, they would already not be using them.

Google already don't. But I think they had to patch their kernels etc. to achieve that.

Leap seconds were a bad solution and we should remove them from general-purpose computer systems (some very specialised systems may need them). But it's a massive coordination problem and most people just don't care enough to change anything.

It's a "standing on shoulders of giants"-type figure of speech that American's use. Like, NASA is foundational to the accomplishments of SpaceX.

Not only this, but the programming style where you pass around dictionaries / maps for everything yet have expectations about what keys they contain works just as easily in JS, and with TypeScript or Flow you get a lot more help from the compiler than you do using spec (as I understand it).
That’s funny, it’s just too late for me. I just returned two Quest 2s because we couldn’t create Facebook accounts. Ironic. I’ve spent years not even wanting one, and when I do, it was impossible.
So FB can take over the VR market by over-moderating FB, and making Oculus a requirement to get support. Looks very anti-competitive and illegal.
You'll have to say more about the challenges you found with it, because we do a _lot_ of WireGuard here, in a bunch of different ways, and given a valid `wg0.conf` file (which is just the keys and the addresses for the tunnel), I've never hd to do much more than `wg-quick up wg0.conf` to make it work, on our servers, on my NUC, on Amazon Linux EC2 instances, and on VMs.
Just one point of clarification. We (the Oculus team) were based in Irvine, CA, but we were well under 100 people when we relocated to the Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park in 2014. Organizational barriers came and went, but there wasn’t a meaningful physical barrier.
