that's arguing gymnastics

I do seriously ask because I avoid pirating stuff because I'm never sure what's there

and yes, I do believe that shady sites are more likely to add some fancy stuff like coin miners to their stuff than actual e.g game vendors like CDPR and similar.
Yes, obviously.. It really depends on how much time you have, what browsers they care about supporting etc.

There is a tooling out there to assist you and most of the compatibility issues are well documented now. 10 or so years ago when I started that really wasn't the case.
Do you need a hug? I glanced through your comments (1) and there is so much negativity and poop throwing around. You seem to discourage people to even try learning new things?!?!? This is Hacker News, WTF?

Are you well? Please take care pal, it seems you are having a tough time.

I am not sure I understand your comment.

Surely, from the tildes and the ortographic rules one can figure out which syllable has the stress (non-ambiguously).

In your example, recibí specifies where the stress is (last), even if it is the first time one sees this word. Same for recibo (second-to-last) or repopo (invented word).

The tilde rules (vowel, ending in n or s, plus diptongos, hiatos and specified exceptions) are consistent. There is no breaking of rules in verb conjugations. Most are stressed second-to-last, but that is not the rule, just an observation.

Or am I misunderstanding something?
> So what he's doing is taking something people understand through experience (censorship in America) and drawing an analogy to something they don't understand, because they've never experienced it (censorship in China), in order to use that analogy to make an argument about the thing people already understand. That's the opposite of a good explanation, where you take something that people don't understand and illustrate it by analogy with something they do understand.

What experience would that be? The experience of being censored? The experience of censoring others? The experience of seeing stuff censored that you agree or disagree with? All these experiences bias people, making true understanding harder, which is why the analogy to the way censorship works in other countries is so useful.

> Case in point, censorship in China isn't like censorship in America. Yes, in both cases removing a social media post requires the social media company in question to do the censoring. But Chinese companies do it because every time they try to censor less, the government steps in and shuts them down. https://www.whatsonweibo.com/tuber-app-that-promises-access-...

Your own link is an example of censorship by private companies in China - a social media platform and an app store.
article actually seems to cover all this issues well (except maybe for ‘your claims are lies’), so I’m hopeful about this one.
Untouched MSDN images have their hashes published online (not without subscription anymore but people have made mirrors).
Overfitting is also a technically easy problem to solve, but high profile cases in which it's not solved with obvious negative consequences could also lead to investigative journalism.
It doesn't mention the rather hard to describe "online phone activation". This has worked for me (for other MS products) when the normal activation wouldn't.

This website guides you through the process: https://getcid.info/

It's basically just a bit more friendly UI to generate all the URL params for this site.
An example: https://microsoft.gointeract.io/interact/index?interaction=1...

Edit: The gointeract.io url is controlled by Microsoft, despite how shady it looks. From what I can tell, the getcid.info site is a 3rd party, so take whatever caution you believe you need to there...though it is an easier UI.

This whole thing is amazing. It really drives home how a small info leak can be used to generate very interesting and actionable data.

I'm guessing many state level actors already have something like this for meat space, unless they are scrambling to build it now that they realize it's possible.

yep, + the keygen/patches can be scanned by virustotal. Same with game cracks (usually done by replacing the "game.exe" with a cracked version)

This long Twitter thread from yesterday by Gray Connolly (who is quite libertarian/conservative himself) addresses this question directly:

It's the same permission because WiFi networks are basically landmarks. If you see the Eiffel tower, you know you're in Paris. Similarly, if you see network id X, you know you're near location Y.

One day, the camera permission will probably have the same problem. The time of day and position of the sun can give a coarse location, and perhaps future algorithms will be able to search Google Street View to find your exact location.
It's not the software. It's the humans that write the code. Someone had to do it.
If you’re Microsoft, why not just make it 100% free? It’s 11 year old software that’s so irrelevant that they can’t be bothered to support anymore, right? What’s the harm?

Oh wait, for 99% of users there is no difference between Office 2010 and Office 365. In fact, the only significant difference I can think of is the pricing model. If the old office were free, there would be almost no reason to use the latest version.

Thanks, Microsoft. /s
Example asymmetry:

Deploying cryptographic authentication where presently far too much relies on crap like "passwords", this is easily a billion-to-one factor

"I bet they used the same password" still has real traction for actual government employees in 2021 and there is no reason to leave such low-hanging fruit on the tree.
I would definitely watch an olympic games full of robots competing with each other.

> the keygen/patches can be scanned by virustotal.

Wouldnt open source be better?
The risk is always there... but you can always check the hash of the iso, if it's the same as on microsofts site, and then check the crack/patch/activator/... on virustotal.

Movies, series, music,.. are usually in file formats not really suitable to carry malware (unless you click on the movie.mp4.exe, but most tech-savy users, who know how to pirate, also know not to do that).

This is the question that gets brushed off, and usually hostilely suppressed, as you're experiencing now, when talking about piracy/jailbreaking/ddwrt/etc. Asking this question is not FUD. There's no answer other than just hoping that any problems will come out given enough usage. If you're advanced enough to have multiple levels of trust in your environment, you just shouldn't use cracked software in your most trusted level.
Because not all cracks are opensource, and not all games/software is opensource.

If you need a media player, you can get an opensource one (vlc, mpv,...). If you need excell, because of incompatibilities, macros, whatever, and don't want to pay (or don't want to buy a new one, since 2010 version works fine), you must crack it.
Make it free for personal use, but unavailable for institutions.
Also for this system that’s the efficiency for the whole cycle electricity to electricity. For the fuel cell you have to multiply by the efficiency for creating your fuel.
It depended on the browser, but I remember IE6 showed how long a page took to load, zone/where it came from (local, internet, "Trusted Sites," etc). All I can find when Googling are old posts on how to fix it when some plugin broke it. I think Firefox's version used to be something you could add, remove, and edit with Firefox's toolbar customizer thing.
And now it compiles on Windows, at least with Msys2. I'm updating the code on github.
I've been thinking of a similar idea for the last few weeks. It's interesting that it is apparently already common practice.

> ... controlling what Australian individuals can see and hear on YouTube.

FTFY. It's important we remember that Google is exercising its rights to not host certain content and people on its own platform.

This is the Internet. Australians still have access to the Sky News website. There are other third-party video platforms too. This idea that because they're the biggest they have to operate like a public utility is utter nonsense.
Eh, that term seems to have fallen out of favor compared to when I was a growing up but I don't think it necessarily has a negative connotation.

I remember being in programming and software related IRCs at 10-11 years old having no earthly clue what in the fuck I was doing, asking adults questions and getting called a "noob".

Well, yeah, it was true. (I also made damn sure they had no idea I was a child.)

They could have said "inexperienced person" but that's not got quite the same ring and people are lazy, aye? Haha
YouTube has not disclosed which Sky News program the videos were from but said there were “numerous” offending videos which have now been removed. https://theguardian.com/media/2021/aug/01/sky-news-australia...
To be fair, some non-pirated software comes with malware too these days.
Here is the article about Darklang leaving OCaml, nothing here is about performance https://blog.darklang.com/leaving-ocaml/. It's about ecosystem and dev experience.

About Flow, I've never used it so I can't say, but Rescript (which is written in OCaml) compiles 10 to 100 times faster than Typescript.
> What's the alternative

Perfectly explained here : https://xkcd.com/1597/
If my memory serves me correctly the term for what British bands were doing in the early 80s at the time was "electro". Synth-pop became the dominant term as it went mainstream and artists cracked the formula for making hit records. (So John Foxx and pre-Dare Human League would be electro, post-Dare HL and Howard Jones it'd be synth-pop and Dare itself... well that's a matter of perspective.) But "electro" means something else completely these days.
Windows is effectively malware at this point, it's clear the users don't care.

Libreoffice to the rescue...

On a serious note, the Libreoffice suite has been more than sufficient for the needs of our family. It has also got far stabler over years...

When it comes to office work though, where you need fine-grained compatibility with MS Office formats, it might fall short once in a while...
Heh, this was even in the u-boot `smc` command help text snippet in the article.
I will agree that visually seeing the tree is such a useful tool to have access to. I know that's not the true desire of your use case, but in case it's useful, I will add what is obviously the best git alias, 'git lg': https://coderwall.com/p/euwpig/a-better-git-log

git lg --all is probably my most
used command in terminals and I think it gives me a better view of how projects are flowing on the whole.
Thanks for explaining it!
What works better for me is to try to do it every day in small amounts rather than herculean efforts a few times a week. As others have mentioned, spaced repetition is key. A habit is much easier to use for learning than just the constant reapplication of discipline. I'll highlight what I've learned about learning and what try to keep in mind.

* Proper sleep is highly important for memory consolidation and recall.

* Exercise (even walking) improves learning efficiency, mental clarity, and motivation.

* Pomodoro technique (I prefer 43-7) allows one to do sprints of learning and sustain the overarching session for longer. Unless I'm in flow, in which case I let it carry me forward without stopping.
What's quite nice with the HTML output view is that it stores stats even if the underlying log files are rotated/deleted - however if the goaccess process ends (like if your server needs to restart) you lose all the historic context.
What you are describing is rent-seeking. Its easy to make money when house values and the stock market are expanding greater than the cost of money, particularly when you buy in at the start of the bubble.

Typically the limitation for real estate ownership is lack of access to credit, or a stable job enabling you to stay in one place.

> in serial computations silicone beats “meat” hands down. And that is in both power efficiency and performance.

I just don't think this is a meaningful comparison, and I'm not convinced it's evidence of the "limitations" of biological computation.

Silicone beats biology in doing binary computation because they're a single-purpose machine built for this task. But a brain is capable of serving as a control system to operate millions of muscle fibers in parallel to navigate the body smoothly in unpredictable 3D space, while at the same time modulating communication to find the right way to express thoughts and advance interests in complex and uncertain social hierarchies, while at the same forming opinions about pop-culture, composing sonnets, falling in love and contemplating death.

For me to buy the argument that ANN's can be more efficient than biology, you'd have to show me a computer which can do all of that using less resources than the human brain. Currently we have an assembly line for math problems.

> a “core” of them is way too powerful for what a single neuron can do

I just think you're vastly under-counting the complexity of what happens inside a single neuron. At every synapse, there's a complex interplay of chemistry, physics and biology which constitutes the processing of the neurotransmitter signal from the presynaptic neuron. To simulate a single neuron accurately, we actually need all the resources of a very powerful computer.

So it may be the case that we can boil down intelligence to some kind of process which can be printed in silicon. But I think it's also entirely likely that the extreme parallelism (vast orders of magnitude greater than the widest GPU) of the brain is required for the kind of general intelligence that humans express, and the "slowness" of biological computation is a necessary trade-off for the flexibility we enjoy. If that's the case, it's going to be very hard for a serial computer to emulate intelligence.
I wonder how this guy even stayed verbal.
> Does anyone know why this happens?

One hardly needs to theorize; Bobby Kotick is on record saying he wanted to take the fun out of game development a couple decades ago now.

Management like him, Mitt Romney, need people generating the right statistics. Their families expect the good life.

It’s our nation state past-time to extract financial profit, to support the political choice decades ago to force the dollar down the worlds throat.
We are all using git only because Linus wrote it. The cargo cult is real and very much alive in our industry, I think precisely because we are all here to write specialist software. Too busy in our domain to worry about version control nuances so we just go with what is popular and don't think about it too much. It's not just version control, it's libraries, frameworks, languages, all of it. If it's not popular it's doomed to failure.
OK, yes, fair point. I did know this horrifying factoid, although I only learned it very recently.

Retiring Boost From My Codebase
We hired a Turkish software engineer recently, pay him a bit less than our American counterparts (which is a very good deal for someone in Turkey), and are very happy with the arrangement. He’s fantastic.

If you’re looking for remote engineers, don’t overlook Turkey.
Ask HN: Forum with Real Identity
Why is there no forum with real identity as a requirement? The closest seem to be Facebook + Twitter, and neither of those seem to be a good place to have a discussion. Has anyone tried this?
My overriding goal with my personal finance system is to have penny-accurate categorization so that I can make accurate predictions about future spending. Right now a significant portion of my family's spending runs through two Amazon accounts charging to the same credit card, which is problematic because I have to check both accounts transactions.

I gave up awhile back and just dump everything into an Amazon category, which that leads to misleading projections.

Sounds like the beam forming antennas and radios can also be reprogrammed, so it's not just the CPU/OS.
You run a browser in computer A, but you use the browser on computer B. How that works is B sends your inputs to A, and A sends the pixels back to B for display. B is in effect a dumb thin client.
You could add $ssl_cipher to your log_format configuration (if nginx), and use that as a TLS fingerprint to find more bots.
There are some forums that do that, but as you already point out with the example of Facebook, it doesn't really add much in the general case, so why should people bother with the hassle?
LC III is a real sleeper. It's much better than the previous in the series. The case is great to work with, it's small, runs cool (if you replace the hard drive it should be no problem to remove the fan), and is faster than any compact. And it takes the 36MB RAM.
I just tried it and was able to activate my copy of Office 2010 just fine online automatically during install in North America. Although I have an academic edition I bought when I started university.
> I kinda wishes businesses would slowly move off microsoft to other solutions but yeah...

Actually Microsoft Word (not necessarily the most recent versions, also 97) is a nice piece of software that most of the time just works and after a bit of configuration doesn't get in your way. It's a great solution for short-to medium documents allowing you to get the work done. In theory, LO Writer should be the same or better, and in some aspect certainly is, but there are several little things that make it simply more pleasant to use Word.
I think the suggestion there is hacking this artificial happiness through gamification of banal activities is a waste of our existence.

I pretty much only do scientific computing with Python so take this with a grain of salt, but ever since I have started using conda I have never looked back. Especially for cross platform projects conda makes things much easier. I would love for the official Python packaging tools to be in a better state so I hope this helps.

what were the challenges you had with non-tech savvy customers?

on the other hand, aren't tech savvy customers harder to sell to? they are much more selective in what they are buying because they can figure out things themselves. it would have to be something that they don't want to do that they would be willing to pay for.

sounds to me like an uphill battle either way.
It's the intellectual class that are going to be generally supportive of this. The same people that are currently telling the people that have lost everything in the lockdowns that they're being selfish protesting.

While I was a little irritated that I was constantly getting their content pushed onto me and autoplayed even though I've blocked the channel, it's disgusting that a Yankee company is effectively playing politics here.
Hardware does indeed need more organization and generally complexity and size requires more organization but there is a fairly constant trend of company age also linking to more and more organization regardless of need. The ever expanding bureaucracy is a problem everywhere.
It’s not a good argument because it’s not an argument. It’s just intended to be a perspective point.

These things aren’t magical properties of a “higher” intelligence, they’re phenomena that emerge from structure. Give a robot a hindbrain and it will pick up on that type of things.
I use a Mammoth WordPress plugin on a few sites. I dislike prominent donation nags, but if just popped up when I converted a document I think I'd be compelled to donate. It's a real time saver.

Reminds me of Mighty app, though they have a different focus than yours. I think you're onto something with the hosted solution :)
I usually run "go build" to see if my code compiles and respond to the errors. If it builds successfully, it's restarted automatically.

I personally don't see value in running "go build" out-of-band in another terminal where I can't easily pipe the errors into my editor (or automatically if I'm running it in the editor).

If that works for you, then great.
Okay, so at least that covers America and Asia. So something weird is happening with Office 2010 and Germany (or possibly Continental Europe or even EMEA)
I am banging on about software literacy again, but if the users were more software literate they coukd have written something themselves, and if we lived in a software literate society we would reject inaccessible formats thus making the whole thing easier- same as the ERP system mentioned elsewhere.

We have a long way to go before the code and the data is truly free.
Plandemic Revisited: A Planned Disinformation Campaign
That's fair, Crystal seems to also take a lot of time with type inference. However the LLVM codegen is almost constantly slower than the alternatives. For example, Haskell has a non-LLVM backend and a LLVM backend, and the LLVM backend is slower. Zig uses LLVM, and they are working on a non-LLVM backend to speed up development builds. A sibling comment mentioned that the situation is the same for D too. For C, I'm almost certain that TCC is faster than Clang with LLVM.

There seems to be a pattern here. I'm not saying that LLVM is bad, in fact if it's used by so many projects it's for a reason. But it does have a cost.
