It's exactly (afaik?) what it's for - you want to transfer your number to a different network, you have to request the PUK from the old one and give it to the new one.

Google Pay team reportedly in major upheaval after botched app revamp
What you're describing is some combination of stuff language runtimes and linkers do (shared libraries, runtime loading, JITting) and demand paging.

It may be the case that one could optimize for the case where a bunch of applications ship that and are statically compiled but use the same underlying libraries. In this case, some agent on the system could analyze the code segments of these binaries and on demand construct shared libraries that strip the shared portion from the binaries. Subsequent invocations would load the constructed shared libraries for redundant sections.

Still, this probably wouldn't help much and would lead to its own issues. One of the problems with these flabby things is just how the runtimes are themselves constructed. You still have per process data structures you'd need to populate and they probably have fat data structures that are not very space efficient, and so on. The size of the instructions is probably not significant relatively speaking.

I feel your pain, my wife got long covid back before that was at least accepted to be a thing. At first doctors are very dismissive, but gradually there were a critical mass of people able to demonstrate measurable symptoms.

Here is hoping that somehow your friends symptoms pass soon and are mild.

In a completely different direction - I've been getting a bit into cooking lately, and found a website called https://based.cooking and aside of the silly name, the content is great - just recipes and nothing else!

It's not too much effort to be honest considering all the services around RSS these days. You have services that can turn a website that doesn't support RSS into an RSS feed.

I can’t find a reference now, but I believe Windows did (does?) have a page fault tracer that would preload from disk the pages that are observed to be needed. I can’t remember if this was just at boot time or for app launches too.
I think in some cases at least, this is an example of cargo culting ie. copying big tech without knowing why. Other reasons include resume driven development. Some devs, either inexperienced or plain poor experienced ones, like to entertain themselves by making things complex.

However, all of that said, in your particular case, a CI/CD pipeline using docker / EC2 doesn't really sound that mad. The patterns are super well understood there. Maybe it's just a case of getting used to it? Fwiw, we do pretty much that and we have fully automated deployments without much hassle. We use ECS / Fargate too which might sound like a other level of black magic but honestly, serverless is pretty amazing too. I don't even have to think about EC2 now. I'm not saying this to showoff, the point is that this new tech maybe takes some getting used to, but maybe it's just a lack of anyone experienced leading the way on it and helping you out?

As for microservices, that can be a nightmare when done wrong but it totally depends. If you just split things up without really understanding why, you're now going to have two problems as the old adage goes. The distributed monolith is the worst of all worlds, especially when the boundaries between services are poorly thought out. If in doubt, and unless you can articulate exactly why you're creating another service, build a well structured monolith imho.

Security and convenience are usually in direct competition with each other. Customer service people have to listen to people yell at them when convenience is sacrificed and aren't held accountable for security problems. They therefore optimize for customer convenience. I don't completely fault them for it. If anyone has had the frustration of sitting on the phone with a customer service rep trying to remember a PIN code that was setup 5 years ago when signing up with an ISP and was never thought about since, you can probably understand it.

It is easy to blame a single person or a single company for poor practices, but I have yet to encounter any real solution to this problem that allows someone to prove they are who they say they are which is able to hit the sweet spot between too many false positives (hijacked accounts) and too many false negatives (valid customers locked out).

If I was a security-minded person looking for startup ideas, this is the problem I would be looking to solve.

The primary point they are making is that the military is unlike a civilian job where you can quit and not show up tomorrow, the time remaining on your contract determines how long until your ETS date.

If you get sick of the green weenie in year two of your standard 4 year contract, you still have the threat of a less-than honorable discharge/UCMJ action forcing you to show up and put in a minimal effort.

It’s definitely not just Republicans but note that they’re the only one of those groups with bullion-dollar companies pushing a constant stream of messages downplaying they risk of COVID and hyping any plausible concern about vaccination or masks.

The problem is that black hole evaporates due to Hawking radiation, which is a special case of Unruh radiation. This radiation is independent of what falls into the black hole, but just its size (and hence mass). This is the paradox. Two black holes of the same mass can be created with completely different matter and they would radiate exactly the same way and in so doing destroying the quantum information of matter they are made of.

Your point of view/theory would hold if black holes were eternal, but they probably are not if our understanding of physics is correct. In fact, if black holes "die" then the quantum information has to be released back into the universe somehow. This paper proposes a mechanism for that to happen.

> If Firefox had not been consistently a dumpster fire, I think it could have maintained at least 50/50 with Chrome.

It took 6 years for Chrome to gain 50% market share. In 6 years, firefox had barely taken 25% from IE.

If you're arguing that this difference in success is explained by the technological gap between chrome and firefox being much larger than the technological gap between firefox and IE, you need a reality check.

Otherwise, you need to acknowledge the fact that Chrome had something firefox didn't have, and it was not a technological advantage.

Can you find pro-Electron comments? Sure, but if you browse any post about Electron you’ll see a lot of “Electron is a disrespect to your users!” comments, whose top reply is “Yes, and also…(more complaints)”, whose top reply is “Electron is the worst in a long line of…”

This kind of “reply-to-agree-and-pile-on” chain happens on HN a lot, but there are certain topics that really set it off, and Electron is definitely one. The commenters are commenting, the readers are upvoting, and what we end up with is an atmosphere where one side of the conversation is clearly getting more engagement.

I think there are a lot of things Amazon can do better, but your solution is interesting.

If everything you stated is absolutely true and systemic issues, IMO let the market and consumers punish Amazon.

It sounds like you’re saying Amazon is good enough that it’s impossible to take away their customer base. On the other hand, you’re describing what seems to be a completely broken company not worth a minute of my time.

Which is it?

The US Postal Service (USPS) has successfully piloted a service to check people’s identity in-person at both USPS locations and at people’s homes using their existing portable tablets used for mail delivery [1]. I'd agree that it's uphill, but it (competent digital identity implementation) is necessary for the reliable functioning of government and commerce in the twenty first century. Otherwise, SIM swaps, identity fraud, and similar will continue to be a (costly) thing.

iOS 15 is rolling out digital IDs in Wallet. I'm excited to see if this enabled a faster deployment with solid primitives.

Documents from scientists in the UK government articulate in great detail that it is a "realistic" possibility that the virus mutates to be deadlier and/or more transmissive [1].

One key difference between this coronavirus and the other endemic 4 is that mass vaccination strategies were never used. Analogous to antibiotic resistance, vaccine resistance is a realistic consequence if vaccines are used indiscriminately [2][3][4][5]. So that is one way we may be setting a new precedent here. If you take a look at what happened with Marek's disease virus in chickens, it's not pretty - none of us wants a world where it is literally impossible to survive without vaccination, because multiple generations of vaccines were undermined by viral evolution.

> The novice and intermediate cyclist need local bike shops to do maintenance on their bikes at affordable rates. The local bike shops need a revenue stream beyond labor for maintenance to be affordable.

I don’t agree with this reasoning. Why wouldn’t maintenance be priced at the true rate? In what way is it better for consumers to overpay for their equipment in order to underpay for maintenance?
If you're already 90% of the way to disproving something, and someone else disproves it, might as well finish publishing your result also in case the other proof is weak or just to overwhelm the remaining easily confused supporters.

Publishing negative results should be celebrated.
Actually not that strange.

Apple doesn't really care about C++20. Their LLVM efforts are focused on Objective-C and Swift.

C++ as used on Apple platforms is mostly related to the Metal Shading Language (a C++14 subset) and IO/Driver Kit (an Embedded C++ variant).

Google has their style guide, only recently updated to C++, isn't a compiler vendor and apparently losing on the ABI vote has made several employees move away from their clang involvement.

Then the other vendors like Intel, Embarcadero, IBM, Codeplay, Sony, Nintendo, ARM, NVidia, AMS have their own agendas and do not upstream everything.

It's time for the bike industry to play ball and do the same.
I'm curious if you think statements like this really help paint the Linux Desktop community in a good light. Because honestly as much as I don't like a lot of things about how Linux Desktop works the community is also a significant factor in driving me away.
> What are your goals? Where do you want to work?

This is very important.

If your goal is grad school, try to get into a research lab as an undergrad. Meet a professor in office hours and ask them: most professors want students because it’s free help, and if they say no you can ask another professor. Working in a lab you can also get a paid position or course credit.

If your goal is industry, try to get internships in your field. Most colleges have co-ops where the internship lasts a semester and sometimes the college helps you. You can also get summer internships on your own. Personal projects are also good for getting a first internship.

Whatever you do, definitely join clubs and make sure to have a social life / relax sometimes.
I'm not sure that follows. That would imply that every kid has already had/been exposed to COVID and that's resulted in those per 100k numbers.

It's definitely not exact to use the infection as the denominator, but I'd argue it's much closer than using the 100k as the denominator. I think I stand by my original post.
The most interesting science is not public and probably never be. What, if any, internal debate was occurred at the FDA, their pre-approval questions for manufacturers, and their responses, ect.

Without this, all we really have to go on is the public information that was release a year ago.
> I guess my view would change if they lightened up on Revenue Collection

For that, you need political change. Many a constituency has elected to rip off their people with absurd policing tactics - including asset forfeiture abuse - that primarily target poor people to fund their operations, instead of properly raising taxes, because raising taxes is a hard sell "thanks" to decades of small-gubmint, trickle down propaganda.

Nobody is shitting on anything. This is a very uncharitable reading of my comment.

Just because Bootstrap had some very good aspects, doesn't mean it also didn't have some negative ones. I find this idolatry of tools a very troubling aspect of our industry. It should be possible to reflect on the negative aspect of good tools without someone saying you're "shitting" on it.

Also notice that I never complained about Bootstrap being vanilla or bland. The issue here was that something well designed and well tested was rewritten from scratch and replaced with something that ended up being inferior for no reason other than misguided developers.

And "no one had trouble navigating a bootstrap site" is a bold claim, considering how flexible it was. In fact the main issue with the website I mentioned was the worsened navigation introduced by the developers.

The answer to the question is that cloth masks are effective against viruses with a droplet based spread, but not against a fully airborne virus.
