A bit of that is also related to different UX design, with many of the venerated old TUIs actually having better UX, not due to being TUI, but because they avoided certain popular (anti-)patterns of GUI programming.

A top example, from discussing with non-techies who had the tools change from TUI to GUI, is the drop-down menu bar at the top of the window (or top of the screen, for mac). What used to be few keys at worst, turned out to multiple long trips by mouse to select an option 3+ levels of nesting deep, because the job was just that complex - but there was no contextual shortcut available.

Many old TUIs (and we're talking divergent brother of S/370 with random other stuff in the mix old) tended to have ways to reach pretty deep in the navigation structure pretty fast (sometimes even direct - for example airline reservation systems, where you often can make a CLI command go straight to a completely different context).
I’m not sure how I would update the title but to clarify it’s not all bandwidth data that is shared but rather a list of non customer IPs (along with ports, and bandwidth usage) which are sending data to customers over a given rate.

Note: Not trying to nitpick but I think it’s important to be precise when making these claims.

It appears that instead of monitoring customer IP addresses, Sky is compiling data on which IP addresses subscribers are pulling most data from during (and potentially before) match or event times. Sky then uploads the highest-trafficked IP addresses along with the port the traffic is streamed on to the S3 bucket mentioned above, every five minutes. It is then accessed by the anti-piracy company which, every five minutes, extracts the IP, bandwidth rate, and the port number that bandwidth is on.

At the time of the document’s publication, the Sky ‘Top Talker’ threshold for the Premier League’s ‘RedBeard’ module was 100mbps. The IP address information provided by the ISP that exceeds this limit then appears to be cross-referenced by IP address and port number with data obtained during game week scanning at Friend MTS. It is then processed accordingly.
From the App Store, obviously.
Are there really people that want the police to manage their locks? I've genuinely never heard of this idea before but I absolutely don't want the police touching my locks and if my house was broken into I'd want to change the locks myself, immediately.
I was born and raised there and while I hope it happens, I am pessimistic.

I wrote a huge rant about why and how it won't happen, but lets just say the political landscape does not favor startups nor business in general, this country, I am sorry to say, will always be 'El Paisito' (A Lil' Country).
I have built two. $40 for the both of them (cheap box fans), and a 20x20x1 filter fits the back quite nicely. They look good enough, and they work fantastically.

In one month of north-west smoke, they got nasty as hell, which is that much less crud aggravating my lungs.
Heres my set up:

- 20 inch box fan

- 20x20x4 MERV12 filter. The 4-inch pleating is key here, to reduce the air resistance on the box fan.

- 1 inch dust pre-filter. This is course, low air resistance, and is for increasing the life of the more expensive MERV12/HEPA filter (so it doesn't get clogged with easy to filter dust).

- Both filters are on the intake side of the box fan. This means you don't need a bungee cord because the intake has negative pressure, the filters just "stick". It also means you keep your box fan flowing with only cleaned air.

Heres a pic of my setup: https://imgur.com/a/O4I6Udx

And here's a graph this morning from my air quality sensor, after turning on the fan/filter: https://imgur.com/a/c5GMNcC

The peak at ~30ug/m^3 PM2.5 is approximately 100 AQI. The fan was on the other side of my 900 sqft house from the sensor.

All proprietary ones, but yes, of course. I don't know what you think I'm trying to avoid telling you—I've worked on a lot of codebases in a lot of languages for a lot of different platforms over ~20 years, and repeated exposure to Rails codebases (maybe half a dozen of them?) has yielded the observations already posted: that they are like closed-ecosystem terrariums, which are beautiful until something goes slightly wrong, and then everything good about them withers and dies in short order.
I remember about decades ago that keyloggers would be very scary and powerful because your only defense was your password, and you couldn't know someone was logging in at the same time as you if you were not aware of it.

Nowadays, with 2FA and all the big companies doing extra security check up when they see something wrong with the login patterns ... I don't see the use of keyloggers anymore.
I have seen variations of this used to build laboratory flowhoods. People have been building variations of these in amateur bio labs for the past 20 years and probably longer.

Indeed when you look at it this way it doesn't make sense at all.

Consider the possibility of vaccine passports leading to CBDCs, negative interest rates and perhaps even social credit scores. All of these are now possible thanks to the germ of the pandemic. Actors involved have been advocating for these solutions for more than a decade. For me, this makes more sense.
Like I said, despite my long experience to the contrary it must be true because somebody on the internet said so.

Are stolen airline miles really that valuable?
what I would like to point out is that even though every galaxy rushes away and we can no longer see them eventually, its an amazing thing we were born at a time when they still here and the cosmic microwave background radiation is still detectible at all and we are able to piece together the beginnings and predict the end of the universe. That thought alone inspires me to look for meaning in our existence. I know its an anthropological line of thinking but its what I personally think is amazing about all this.

But how common is that? Where/when I studied, history of science was a different major. Sure, we (undergrad students with physics major) knew about Newton and those inclined as much could study the historic context on their own, but otherwise everything (perhaps short of classic mechanic of the rigid body) before the late nineteenth century was of little interest.

> You don't have to survive long enough to do anything except find the position of the carrier and send it. Once that's done, it's game over. Done. Finished.

In 10 minutes, a carrier moving at 35 mph will have moved around 6 miles.

That's a 100+ sq. mile radius. How will your missile in fact, lock onto the carrier on the approach? How does the missile know where to go?

If your missile is traveling at Mach 5, what communication system are you using to track and talk with that missile? Is something in that communication chain still alive to constantly tell the missile where in fact, the carrier is? Or does the missile have such an advanced radar system that it can too, magically pick out a carrier in a 100-sq. mile radius?
Yeah.

You'll be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't think of Richard Stallman as a nut to some degree, but his predictions of how computing would centralize over the next few decades have absolutely come true. Nowadays, we don't think twice about apps you can't uninstall or processes you can't see, simply because that's now the de-facto way to develop software these days.

And to a degree, I get it; we need to make concessions with computers when we market them to the masses. Even still, I can't help but feel like we made the wrong sacrifices. As companies like Apple, Samsung and Google make their surveillance increasingly intrusive, theirs audience becomes increasingly desensitized to their advances.
That's fine. You (jollybean) seem to have the line figured out, for yourself.

I didn't mean anyone to answer publicly – finding the line is a personal, intimate investigation. Pavlik Morozov-style on one end; anarchists on the other.

Either way, it's good to know where government loyalty stops for you. Where the shit hits the fan, and you're past composing carefully worded posts on social media.
Depending on the height of your windows I would think sleeping would be the best thing other people could do to your car.
I can assure you keyloggers still work very well at most major companies.

Maybe in a couple more decades they will have begun to use basic defenses already available.
Ask HN: Any CS curriculum recommendations for teaching family and friends?
I am an experienced Software Engineer looking for a comprehensive CS curriculum to be used in teaching CS to family and friends. Learning should be fun, approachable and engaging. Most of the material I find online is in the form of courses and similar. I need something that would assist me in transferring my knowledge, while reminding me of concepts, methods, etc. I wonder if there are any ongoing projects in this space which cater to this specific need.

I just started using kSQL at work to build a data pipeline from Postgres to Elasticsearch. This will be replacing our error-prone batch processes. So far it has been a really nice experience, however I don't have it running in production yet.

Little bit concerned with how we will update the schema of the streams in production. At some point we will need to drop a stream and recreate it with a different schema, and I'm afraid we will miss some incoming data during the downtime. Confluent just released a migration tool, but I'm pretty sure this only works for adding/dropping columns and not changing the datatype of a column.
That's what it's always been. Even if there were a moral framework that's provably true, people could still choose to act against it (assuming some kind of free will, even if it's compatibilist). What do you do when someone hears all your arguments and says "so what"? The same thing you have to do in a universe where meaning/morality is not intrinsic: convince those you can, and force those you can't, if it's important to you.
I always remember back to one of my electronics labs in college. We were trying to debug a circuit from which we could get no readings. The oscilloscope, with no working leads, was sensitive enough to detect our movements a few feet away from it...
Dissent against well-evidenced public health measures really isn’t a virtue.

Just because you have the right to do something doesn’t doing it is automatically praiseworthy.
I get why the pithy "chroot with more steps" comment has been largely dismissed, but when all you're going for is the temporary installation of build dependencies without impacting the permanent system, chroot really can do enough. The other stuff with user namespaces to isolate process IDs, networks, and map UIDs to get root in the user namespace without actually being root, aren't strictly needed.

There is an Arch Linux devtools project providing some shell scripts to automate setting up clean build chroots, but they're of course focused on setting up an isolated Arch system, and still require running as root. The true poor man's way to do this without being root is to use fakeroot and fakechroot, which is what the Debian builds do. The examples from Debian would all run debootstrap to set up a minimal Debian in the chroot, but you can just run "fakeroot fakechroot <any command>" to use your own build tools and bootstrap your own build environment. That way you don't even require a container runtime and don't need to open up the attack surface of user namespaces.

No that's not how it works. The expectation is that satellites will be knocked out before sending carriers into really high threat environments. Antiship ballistic missiles have very limited sensors and maneuvering capability so it's hard to reliably hit a moving target without another platform data linking a continuous track at least through the midcourse phase.

Both sides have only small numbers of attack submarines and long-range maritime patrol aircraft, including large drones. The small, cheap suicide drones are mostly useless for open ocean surveillance due to lack of range and weak sensors. This is the real world, not a Hollywood movie.

My opinion, kindly, is attempting to use click bait titles to attract attention isn't beneficial in the long run. Focus on building content that people naturally want to read and engage with, because tricking someone into reading your content gets you one viewer once, but that's it.
This. Getting something like the Belkin 3-in-1 Wireless Charger with MagSafe at work has been a lifesaver. I get to work, throw on my phone, watch, and AirPods, and within an hour everything's charged back up. Having a few charging pucks around the house also helps.

I like wearing my watch at night for sleep tracking, and the longer it's on my wrist, the more data it's capturing, which my hope is that in the years to come, can be harnessed for improving my health, somehow.

- The comparison here is between "A system of thousands of linear differential equations running in parallel" (The Hodkin-Huxley based modeling that is used to simulate the voltages of the biologically detailed model) and "A typical multi-layer neural network". One could probably calculate the computational complexity of the first and the second and assess how much it compressed the original function

- The goal of artificial neural networks is not generally to simulate with 100% accuracy the firing of real neurons, but to perform their function. The results from ANN applications so far show impressive abilities that match equivalent (but specific) functions of hundreds of thousands of real brain neurons
Nice article that explains product quantization very well, thanks!

PQ is really a nice compression technique. I implemented PQ and Optimized PQ [1] a while back in our word embedding package for Rust:

https://github.com/finalfusion/finalfusion-rust/

https://github.com/finalfusion/reductive/

Particularly Optimized PQ was effective in reducing vector sizes ~10 times with virtually no reconstruction loss. This made it much easier to ship models (no more 3GB embedding matrix with a neural net that is just a few megabytes large).

I'm certainly willing to hate the Sacklers, but it should be remembered that they didn't work alone. Nor did Purdue. The FDA approved their drugs. The doctors prescribed them and the pharmacists filled these scripts. What they did was entirely legal. They filled out the forms. Got the government approval and worked within the system. It strikes me as a bit unfair for society to turn around, designate them as a scape goat and then ask them to pay for the sins of everyone.
IIRC the funny thing is, the system that provides the codenames is random in order for the system to not leak information about what the code name is for. But since there's no limit to how many times you can request a code name, the system is being abused and users try until they get a good one.

> You can't scan the whole ocean.

No, but you can scan the radius of uncertainty of where a known carrier-sized object may have gone in a satellite gap of a few hours at a top speed of say 40 kts, known maneuvering capability, and a known starting position and velocity, pretty easily.

Now, if you add teleportation in so you have to scan the whole ocean, sure, but that’s a big “if”.
Yea, I often dislike when judges massively expand rulings, but it's been a thing for ages that non profits are allowed to expand. Otherwise no nonprofit could grow at all.

This judge basically nullified the original law in a way, so Locast would have had to have the capital to cover the whole country from day 1, and that would be fine? How were these nonprofits ever supposed to come into existence to restream broadcast TV?

And it mentions they only brought in 4.5 million. To restream content to millions of users, this really does not seem like a ridiculous amount.

Technically, since you're sending the air through the filter multiple times, you don't need a HEPA filter. HEPA filters are optimized for single-pass airflows.

And there are thicker filters which give you more pleats, and thus less air impedance, in addition to the "triangle" method suggested by a sibling comment.
OK, so they can be handy, in the hands of a government-in-exile looking to replace a foreign-imposed kleptocracy with a restoration of their own religious authoritarian state. That's granting that we can call enough of what they've got "private arms" for them to be a significant factor in the first place (I truly don't know how that would break down—maybe most of their soldiers really do go out and buy their own guns, before joining the cause). Even so, none of that seems to have much to do with keeping one's own government liberal and democratic, though, which is what I'm interested in.
