It's frankly only a kind of joke.

People take it seriously, and you can hear it here and there as "argument" against proper specs.
Yeah, I found that pretty questionable of a move as well.

On the opposite side of the political isle, you could observe the same thing, with a bunch of republicans loudly proclaiming on the internet their "plans" to move to Canada whenever Obama implemented Obamacare or tried to raise taxes on anything. Given that Canada has socialized healthcare and higher taxes, they looked just as ridiculous as people in this thread "planning" a move to Singapore due to Canada pushing anti-privacy laws. That's the taste of self-hating north americans for you.

A good quote in relation to this comes to mind: "There is no geographical solution to personal problems." Note: it doesn't mean that moving to another country due to your current one becoming unlivable is bad idea. But it seems weird to want to leave your country due to poor internet laws for a country with even worse internet laws and privacy. Which is what you can see with those mentions of Singapore, they didn't quite think it through at all. That's the taste of a group of self-hating north americans for you.
https://github.com/hpc/mpifileutils handles this pretty well -- with SYS_getdents64. It has a few other tricks in there in addition to this one.
This is a comically yet incredibly common engineering bad take. When you run a company there is only one question to answer, one north star - does it make money ?
Running with this idea, then as a customer, John Smith shouldn't have to even think about 10k worth of legal costs to clear his name. It should be cleared for him.

Basically multiple layers of regulation in the form of consumer protection laws that put the onus on businesses to be accountable for what they do. You can't blame the victim for having their identity stolen just because they chose T-Mobile over a competitor, or expect them to fight the case in court (which most people won't do because it's too expensive).
"Structured programming" was 100% successful, and we're all still using it, all the time. It was so successful, that we don't even talk about it anymore. With few exceptions, it's just how programming is now.

Does not invalidate your actual point, though.
Competitive chess is still alive and well despite computers being better than humans for decades now.

In fact, computers enhance chess by allowing the discovery of interesting lines that a human would never have thought of. Professionals use computer engines to study, and learn from.

I'm super excited to play with Codex, for much the same reasons - it will help me do stuff that would be boring to do otherwise.
I understand that, but $45K is a huge amount of money to spend on that, and especially for so many.

I worked at a blue chip we hired a lot of interns and we put them to work, man they ran a lot of things.

That said, it was hit or miss.
Remediating AWS IMDSv1
My point isn't that I empathize with any viewpoint, but that on paper it is impossible to decide this. It forces an administrator who doesn't personally know an application to decide their firmness of faith with minimal information.

An Anti-Vaxxer applying under a religious exemption doesn't list "Anti-Vaxxer" on their application.
The alternatives are left and right respectively. They're more clear because left and right are usually relative to the speaker or listener who may be facing each other and are often moving around.
During a pandemic [of that disease]? You bet you can!

[Edit: added a clause]
We can easily contact someone but they can’t do it remotely. The power company needs to come on scene. Isolating power is a lot more complex than it used to be because of solar installations. We can never be sure that every building’s solar is properly isolated from the grid.

In these cases where people need to be evacuated from a vehicle that’s live due to power lines there are protocols for doing so, it’s just more risky. We need to ensure they jump from the vehicle so they’re never touching the vehicle and the ground simultaneously. We also need to get them to shuffle to make sure there’s no step potential between their feet. Neither is easy to guarantee with a member of the public probably panicking.
It's not "front" and "back" it's "left side of the boat" and "right side of the boat".
So simple! Some people dont want to fight or see the violence.

What you said is really out of touch.
Thats why you use one of the all in one email software packages like mailinabox. They will configure all of this for you and show a dashboard telling you everything is good or if something is wrong.
For a closer analogy, chess engines have 1000+ elo points on the top grandmasters, and professional chess has never been more popular.
I put the PDF on Drive. Rather than incur the wrath of FB's lawyers, I will manually grant access to anyone who asks (until I get tired of it), and not make it generally available.

Translations of Chinese books/films/comics are still consistently awful.

That's both adorable and utterly irrelevant to the topic at hand. I've worked in a newsroom. You've heard of one. It's like you're intellectually flagellating yourself with your own brand of self-importance at this point.
reMarkable 1 is 1GHz single-core with 512MB of RAM, and that’s entirely sufficient for what it’s primarily designed for, writing. PDF rendering is the main thing that can be slow, agonisingly so in some cases. I imagine that’s the main reason why they boosted reMarkable 2 to dual-core 1.2GHz and 1GB of RAM. (It wasn’t for things like startup time—https://old.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/comments/jfgpqw/rm... shows both 1 and 2 taking about 20 seconds, with 2 actually the slower by a second or so.)

Quad-core 1.8–2GHz and 4GB of RAM is, if used fairly sensibly, massive overkill for most purposes e-paper has been used for so far, with image-heavy PDFs being the most likely exception (incidentally, I’m not sure if such rendering can be parallelised or not). It’s easily enough to run full desktop environment stuff. So yeah, it’ll be interesting to see what comes of it. Screen latency is certainly the key to the whole puzzle.
A typical thing they do in less developed countries where tap water is decent but not quite reliable enough is either install an in-line filter for drinking water, or get a pitcher filter (like a Brita).
A traditional question for these threads: are there real alternatives yet? I mean, such that you actually did switch.

You said that you didn't, and neither did I. I just don't know if anything but Chromium would be sustainable, and I still don't want to switch to Chromium. If anything, FF profiles are still a reason to use it. Even though I don't really believe FF is still much better than Chrome in terms of privacy and such (well, TBH, it still gives me peace that I can disable some stuff in about:config I almost surely couldn't in Chromium: I'd need to investigate, and it doesn't help that Chromium users generally don't bother themselves with such issues). And it hardly is in terms of actual browser technology. I didn't check if all plugins I need work under chromium, but I assume they would, since most non-major stuff was broken in FF anyway, and major stuff tends to have even better support in chromium nowadays.
a) They refer to left and right, not front and back (which I believe would be "forward" and "aft").

b) With the possible exception of "forward", if you hear one of these words you always know it's specifying a direction relative to the direction the boat is pointing, which is not true for "left" and "right".
Convincing a buyer to be a ‘payment’ buyer is an old trick in the car market. Don’t fall for it - always buy on price and then let the payments work out. With all the online calculators and soft pull applications (no credit hit, but accurate prices) it should be strait forward to figure out roughly what you can afford. If it seems like magic, it likely is.

The HHS keeps a list for healthcare orgs, actually: https://ocrportal.hhs.gov/ocr/breach/breach_report.jsf

A lot of incidents get reported to the state attorney general offices that the customers reside in, as well, but that is less convenient to keep an eye on since there are 50 of them.

These don't really make the news because there are just too many of them to keep up with. One of my clients recently had to send breach notifications to all their customers and it did not even make the local papers. This is a town of 20k people where nothing ever happens and apparently that wasn't enough to waste ink on.

The takeaway here is that there is infinite work available for security incident responders, if you are looking for a change of pace.
Do you know any free email providers for custom domains that who provide DKIM?

Thanks for sharing. The proof will ultimately be in the pudding, if opium trade goes down or not in a few years time.
For me it is the distraction free environment. I can deep dive into the material. It also feels a lot like real paper. Having all of my thoughts on various topics, school notes, books I've read, therapy notes, etc.
You know where drugs are cheap and plentiful? The US, Europe, London, Russia, Africa, basically everywhere. To say "Be aware drug trafficking is part of the culture there." is extremely weird and probably racist. Why are you saying that? If you think, "Oh it's central America" is that it? Costa Rica is actually not in any of the traditional drug trafficking routes (say from Peru to the US) so that line of thought just doesn't go anywhere. I've spent a lot of time in Costa Rica and I've never trafficked any drugs nor have I witnessed this cultural drug trafficking.

I imagine there is some sort of drug trafficking fiesta or holiday that I'm just constantly missing.
I don't see why they can't just walk out the front door of the bus. No power lines are near it.
I just walked past a SJ fire station with my dog yesterday, and had a nice visit with a firefighter sitting outside. I'll have to ask them about this next time I see one.

This station doesn't have a backdoor, I don't think.
You realize I'm comparing it to my Remarkable right?

The Remarkable a digital notebook, not an alternative to a Wacom tablet.

Like if you think iPad drawing tools are bad... the Remarkable didn't even have layers until the new model

-

To get my iPad to where my Remarkable was cost $25:

- $20 pen (which is a proper active pen, not a weird stylus)

- $5 matte screen protector.

That's $325 all in vs $450 minimum for a Remarkable (I think mine was a little cheaper with preordering, but the upgraded pen and case make it a wash)

Battery life without a battery bank has never been problematic. Even forgetting to charge it overnight is fine. It doesn't barely loses any battery in standby, and charges quickly enough.

It sounds like you have an ax to grind against the iPad for other purposes, which is fair. But for an alternative to a Remarkable, there's just not that far to go, it's a low bar that's been set.
I don't think python invited a single thing tbh.
What about .localhost? Asking for a friend.
If things get that bad, building a nuclear power plant and devoting its power to desalination would probably be more economical and environmentally friendly than cutting down forest for feilds.

Hell if it gets that bad building a pipeline to pump water south from the mouth of the Columbia river would be on the table.
tenet
I agree. Surely there are cases where people have sued the bank or whatever provider for opening an account in their name. It seems like I should just be able to send them a certified letter that says no, i didn't open that account, please close and correct your credit reporting unless you have proof otherwise. If you don't comply I'll see you in my nearest small claim court. Seems like it would be an open and shut case.
There weren't many products in the Soviet Union that could be sold in the west. They needed a commodity that was to western standards. Soviet steel had full scrap value in the west and the ships were mobile. Pepsi also traded for tomato paste.
How about just starting with "a compiler in the browser"?

> the web was first built in the 90s to share complicated academic work

People complain a lot about the results of research not being replicable because people withhold their code when they publish, but the fact is that even then it's not guaranteed that anyone will be able to get it to work. Heck, there are plenty of run-of-the-mill software projects (not associated with research) with build processes that aren't replicable without substantial effort in making sure the appropriate toolchain is available and configured for your system. apt-get build-dep is nice and all, but it only goes so far.

You'd think that we would have recognized by now that in addition to it being good hygiene to include a project README, a tremendous boon to productivity would result if everyone got on board with also including a document that captured the _exact_ process for transforming source into a binary (or whathaveyou), so you could just drop it into a UVC[2] and get said binary out. Not even mainstream JS programmers (largely writing software that is meant to be interacted with from a web browser!) get this right[3]. Modern JS has managed to grow its own body of implicit knowledge centered around SDKs and setup rituals[4] just like everyone else.

Why are these local power lines up in the air on such low poles? Shouldn't they be buried when in an urban environment? I've only ever seen power lines up in the air when crossing open country, and then 50m or so up in the air.
Saying 100% is a bad idea, because an endless stream of people are going to tell you it's not 100%.

Look back at previous HN conversations about anyone claiming their software is 100% fault tolerant, or that their datacenter has 100% uptime.
You sound just like the average sports fan commenting after a match about what x player should have done, shouldn't have done, blame it on decisions, style of the trainer, owner etc..
But you're just that.. a fan yapping about how they could do better.
Updated, thanks for the correction.
This seems right to me. I had an iPad Pro and it was kinda meh. Basically just collected dust. Got a remarkable 2 and basically use it every day for note taking and sharing between it and my computer. Annotate PDFs, make drawings like in a notebook. It’s so lightweight and hassle free, battery lasts ages, super easy to have alongside my MacBook to get stuff done. I’m super happy with it, haven’t touched my iPad Pro since I got it.

The only thing I would like on there remarkable, which seems to be more of an eink limitation, is the ability to create multiple colored highlights. I find myself drawing a lot of graphs and often need the ability to create different lines that can be distinguished when the graphs get complicated.

But other than that, remarkable has been basically a dream as a replacement for pen and paper (which I didn’t use that often anyways).

I've heard many Americans question why the US should defend even NATO members like the Baltic countries (e.g. Dan Carlin).

Taiwan is in a better position because it's technology makes it very valuable for the US.
It's trivial to say that a program describes its behavior exactly (so it's its own spec).

But the whole point of a spec is to describe how a program should behave before writing it.

Also you usually want some verification that the program matches the spec. When the program IS the spec what do you match?

Yes - “identity theft” in common usage has been a phenomenally successful effort by financial companies to shift the cost of their negligence to the consumer.
i agree with this, but delaying enough may get us to a vaccine for delta without having to get delta. i wish more vaccinated people would get tested and participate in studies so we had a better idea of what the risk level is for long term organ damage. i'm assuming it's significantly lower, but i dont have anything to back that up with.
Fortunately the vaccines are very effective at preventing bad outcomes.

The probability of getting post-Covid syndrome even after a mild case is ~ 20 %. Immunity against coronaviruses seems to last about a year. So in the present regime there's a 1-in-5 chance every year of having to deal with Covid sequelae, incidence rising, presumably, with age.

That's not acceptable. We need other interventions, like better ventilation, smaller gatherings & so on.

Salafi jihadists have a way of burning themselves out. But there will always be a new wave.

Functional languages will typically guarantee you that tail recursion is constant space. The exception is languages running on a FP adverse runtime such as the jvm, and they tend to provide a special keyword and rewrite into a loop.

Also, mutual recursion is a bit more general than loops :)
Absolutely, would love to take a look.
Afghanistan intervention has been popular in America. What hasn't been popular is the plan and execution of the intervention. This will continue to be the case.

To add to this administrative insult, US relationship with the collapsing Afghanistan government was ended in the most humiliating way. The collapse was not inevitable.

The US public should not stand for this.

The current mood of the US is that the public does not know what the current administration is doing domestically and abroad. Outside of a few identified 'throw money at a problem' bills the administration is not popular outside of 'at least it is not Trump'.

Vision is lacking and the US cannot legislate out of core structural problems and from this there was improper use of authority by multiple government branches. I do not think congress should have neutered presidential war authority. The US needs better stewardship by every branch and to go back to operating government like intended.
No, this was an unmitigated disaster. And Biden must own it.

Look at the southern US border. Another disaster.

Barack Obama himself said it: "Never underestimate Joe's ability to f** things up".
Very interesting. I hadn't considered the challenges solar could introduce to isolating power. Thanks for the answer.
Maybe one of you functional gurus can answer this - One of the problems I have with functional programming is how do you handle multiple data structures on a single thing. For example - say you have a drawing program, with say just one shape - a square. Now to make it fast when the user clicks somewhere you'd have a data structure like a k-d tree that can find your shape quickly. Now you also have another structure a list of the shapes, because you don't want to put them in the k-d tree, you update both structures when shapes change. You'd also want other structures for say undo/redo. I can't see anyway to do this in functional programming. Same applies to database style programming.
…is Microsoft not "Big Tech"? I think it would be difficult to claim they haven't had any video game hits.
You mean from Colombia to the US (probably more accurate to say Peru these days)? By this logic the US has a huge drug trafficking culture which may or may not be true. Besides, I think the actual drug trafficking route at this stage (around Central Amercia) is by boat to Mexico where it is brought across the border by land (one of the many ways it is imported).

Apple Is Terrible for Your Privacy – The Hated One
Knowing nothing else, it's hard to know if this is good or not. It's 16 requests per second. Are those requests something like "Render a support article" or are they "Give the user a ranked feed of what they should see on their home screen"? Is most of the logic run by the web server or some combination of app servers / backend services behind it? What kind of hardware does the web server have?

All of those would affect the answer, and would preclude being able to guarantee "up this by couple orders of magnitude"
> In functional languages it's not actually going to allocate a whole new array each time an immutable list is appended to, but that's exactly what will happen in JavaScript.

The OOP approach is to define your entire data model as a collection of classes and interfaces before you write a line of business logic. This approach is designed to support a systemic methodology for modifying and extending the codebase. But it also adds a complexity that requires large quantities of boilerplate to be written, and requires maintainers to navigate through several layers of abstraction if they’re trying to read or modify the code.

From my perspective, I see the rise of Node and Python for web dev as a rejection of OOP, largely on the basis that web apps don’t need such a complicated set of structural abstractions. However if you look at how that domain has been innovating, my argument is that they’ve simply recreated all of the old OOP abstractions with different names. If you look at the types of abstractions used, and their associated complexity, in a typical GraphQL + TypeScript application, how are they substantially different from full OOP C# app for example? Especially if you’re using an RDBMS, or ORM, or some sort of schema for a NoSQL DB. For devs that don’t like TypeScript, JSON Schema might be appealing. But if you look at the JSON Schema spec on GitHub, one issue you see repeatedly raised is “please add full inheritance”, followed by a debate around “but that’s just OOP”. The community’s raised that issue so many times that I think they’re actually considering it now.
