`s` is some value that occupies some memory, starting at say address 1000. `ps` contains the address of `s`, 1000. It will do this no matter what you put in memory at address 1000. You can assign new values to `s`, e.g. via append, but ps will still point to its address, 1000.

The confusion stems from the fact that a slice object contains a pointer in itself, pointing to a backing array, thus adding an additional layer of indirection. Append will return a new slice that may point to a different backing array. This doesn't matter, because you put the new slice in the memory location pointed at by ps, 1000.

This is not so different from pointer pointers. If you have `int i = 0; int pi = &i; int *ppi = &pi;` you can change `pi` (analogous to the slice) to your heart's content and `ppi` will reflect the changes.
There are economic reasons for this (most minors aren't mentally fully developed enough to make some life changing decisions such as in voting/medical decisions/etc.)
Nick Bostrom, the author, also wrote "Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies" [1], which HN readers may be more familiar with. If you enjoyed that book, I would highly recommend this one as well.

There is an inverse relationship between the contract rate and the length of a contract. You can charge $350 per hour, such a contract doesn't last no more than 3 months. If you charge $150 per hour, it can last a year, even three years.
Same, but I was actually hoping for some kind of desktop app.
Very inspiring stuff!

Given that "simple heuristics and topics are plenty to target ads", is it correct to assume that your payout/cost is similar for publishers/advertisers compared to networks that target users?
It shows that tipping is not consistent with mathematics and pizza people should be formally compensated as to achieve this consistency. Perfectly congruent.

This article has me confused about the legal status of licenses in US copyright law. Are they not contracts? I mean, the GPL promises the recipient something (the right to make copies of a software) in return for something else (the source code for any modifications). That smells like a contract to me.

But this is just a declaration, not an argument (there's nothing wrong with that.) Should parents be able to let their children smoke or do porn?
Don't worry about Pine getting spread so thin that they can't support these devices. The reason being that they don't support them (from a software standpoint) currently! The brilliance of their business model is they are very up front about only producing and supporting the hardware. The software support is entirely on the open source community.

As far as the hardware, their support generally only extends as far as defective hardware. Think DOA battery/display/etc. If a particular revision of a device has a hardware bug, but is otherwise functional, they will tend to fix the bug in a future revision. Customers bothered by a given bug typically have to buy a future revision if it really bothers them. For example, I got the first public version of the Pinephone which has a USB-C bug that only works with dumb chargers. The next revision of the Pinephone fixed that bug and they offered a discounted board replacement for those bothered by the bug.

Their main target customers are (hardware and software) hackers who should understand what they're signing up for.

I had a similar experience. Lost close to 9 yrs of photos and my wedding photos. I eventually got them back via a similar method as author. It took me a year to go through them all. After that experience I fully went to the cloud. The cause was a REFS mirror deciding to “mirror” my corrupt drive to my working drive. Great job MS. I also stopped using Microsoft for my raid stuff.
Until you're expected to work nights and weekends to meet the deadline (that doesn't really "exist" either).
You could argue that recent Chinese crackdowns on bad working conditions and excessive cram schools do part of that. I agree it's nowhere near enough.
Probably for the exact reason you note.

The idea here is they should be doing something better with their time right?

But as you note no limits on other time eating activities with their own negative effects.

I think it would be better to use a carrot here and hopefully encourage / try to encourage better choices... or even if they want to target games just outlaw the specifics of the problem, loot boxes, and so on.
Surprisingly, no side was assigned the blame for the collision. Unlike air traffic or surface navy accident.

One had a conning tower damage, the other had a bow damage; both were supposedly slow-moving at the moment. Is there such thing as right of way for subs?
Someone in the "engineering" role can apply the "source-code" tag to a file, which will grant people in the "engineering" role read-write permissions, and the "dev-ops" role read permissions. Users don't have tags associated with them, so they don't get permissions from having a tag assigned. They can't because the policy doesn't allow you to stick a bare user into the (role,tag,permission) tuple.

So when you're auditing permissions, you can check to see if the tags have the appropriate permissions, the roles have appropriate tags, and users have appropriate roles.
It's a good question – I'll copy what I wrote for the Redditors who had the same thought:

> Copyright law is pretty scary around anti-circumvention rules – putting the name of the software right in an article about how to break its DRM/licensing just sounds like asking for trouble, so I never do. (Not legal advice – just my personal musings!)

> At least if the software is unnamed, the article is clearly more for educational purposes – you won't find the article if you've got the software and you're trying to break it, and you won't have access to the software if you're just reading the article.
> I've constructed similar utility types in C and find them quite convenient. It's very convenient to have the distinction between the backing memory (array) and a slice viewing a portion of it instead of just a dynamic array.

Of course that's convenient, the issue of Go's slices is that they act as both a dynamic array and a slice viewing a portion of one. The two uses conflict with one another, and the interactions are full of traps.
These days there are special collision avoidance systems on big commercial planes:

TCAS II provides the pilot with specific instructions on how to avoid the conflict with traffic. These instructions are known as a “Resolution Advisory” (RA) and may instruct the pilot to descend, climb, or adjust vertical speed. TCAS II systems are also able to communicate with each other to ensure that the RA provided to each aircraft maximizes separation.

From https://nbaa.org/aircraft-operations/communications-navigati...

My understanding is these automated instructions override those from ATC
Aha. Okay. So (even if you're super pro Free Software like me) this doesn't seem all that bad, I think -- the error was the small guys "going for the money," but the GPL was never much about money, it's about compliance with the license.

Does this seem right? (Yeah, I am a lawyer, but also not French)
Insurers don't care because vulnerability can be predicted by make/model/year so they a) can readily predict how much they'll pay out, are all saddled with the same cost increase (per vulnerable vehicle) and are free to pass that on to customers knowing that the competition has to do the same so they won't be undercut. Basically they don't care because the cost passes right through them with minimal friction in this case.
I only use CC for albums I want to share. LRC will always be my source of truth. The cool part of the workflow, is you can just tag photos you want to share in LRC, and then they sync and they're in the cloud for people to view at max resolution.

Although the gallery feature of CC is a bit buggy. A better flow might be to sync an album to Dropbox - but syncing plugins are always unreliable I find.
Do you have a source for that? From the article it sounds like the expectation is that all games should be implementing mechanisms to limit this. But that could just be poor reporting by Reuters ( not unsurprising for a breaking foreign government regulation change like this )
This case has both parties in France so the courts will probably rule that the license was made in bad faith since it isn't valid in France, I have no idea what the court will do after that. (in the US the courts will look down on a license made in bad faith, I have no idea about France)
Certainly, see Haskell. It enables reasoning about interfaces, easy as algebra.
Well, sure, like I said, it's ambitious; there's no guarantee this is going to actually work. But it's not like the people working on it haven't thought about the problem. They have an interesting approach to the neutron degradation problem, using a liquid blanket that can be circulated, so you don't have to deal with the problem of replacing solid shielding after it becomes too degraded.

Doesn’t matter. Probably positive if anything.

A lot of children don’t hermit up and play video games because it’s better than being with friends - it’s because they don’t have any friend options in real life.

Where I grew up, I was shunned, bullied, and neglected by pretty much everyone. It became apparent I was actually quite social, funny, and pleasant to be around when I was online. I made a lot of friends quickly when I was online playing games. But in real life I struggled because I wasn’t the right race, didn’t look the right way, wasn’t willing to throw out homophobic and racial slurs, and didn’t enjoy the same activities as everyone else.

I’m really surprised HN has such a myopic 80-year old take on video games. Must be because it’s early still…

"Is this how working with these guys is going to be?"

Unfortunately, yes. Young engineers are terrible at communication and working with others. Partly due to workplace incentives and partly because you must realize that entire generations have grown up with computers and not people.
I thought the same thing when I saw both names mentioned. My understanding is CIFS is an older dialect of SMB that some servers/clients can still fall back on. Here's some key text from an article on the subject [0]:

> Most people, when they use either SMB or CIFS, are talking about the same exact thing. The two are interchangeable not only in a discussion but also in application – i.e., a client speaking CIFS can talk to a server speaking SMB and vice versa. Why? Because CIFS is a form of SMB.

> 1.) The CIFS implementation of SMB is rarely used these days. Under the covers, most modern storage systems no longer use CIFS, they use SMB 2 or SMB 3. In the Windows world, SMB 2 has been the standard as of Windows Vista (2006) and SMB 3 is part of Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.

> 2.) CIFS has a negative connotation amongst pedants. SMB 2 and SMB 3 are massive upgrades over the CIFS dialect, and storage architects who are near and dear to file sharing protocols don’t appreciate the misnomer. It’s kind of like calling an executive assistant a secretary.

I don't think so, still feels primitive.
Oh my this article is painful to read on so many levels. It treats as important many phenomena that are either inevitable or uninteresting.

(1) The fact that engaging in one task distracts attention from another task is obvious. People derive inspiration from taking a shower, swimming, biking, playing music and yes, walking. All these tasks have something in common, they are different from whatever task one was doing beforehand, and they require less cognitive focus than many of the things that we do for work.

(2) The fact that noise in the brain is 1/f is not particularly interesting. Many natural systems have 1/f amplitude spectra. This pattern occurs commonly in multi-scale systems (the brain being one example).

(3) The fact that many aspects of brain activity (both signal and noise) are affected by aging, consciousness, mental experiences, memory and so on is not particularly interesting. Assuming that one is not a dualist, every distinct mental state must be reflected by some unique pattern of brain activity.

(4) Scientists know quite a bit about where these “spontaneous fluctuations” come from. Many of them are a consequence of changes in blood pressure, which varies substantially and randomly over time (within some finite band, of course). Others are caused by mental states that are difficult to measure and model, and so are unknown to the experimenter. But just because something is noise from the perspective of the experimenter doesn’t mean that it is noise from the perspective of the brain.

Many museums these days have bespoke web or downloadable apps that serve audio tours, sometimes activated based on location through QR codes, computer vision, beacons (iBeacons, Eddystone beacons), or RFID scannable bracelets given to every visitor.
Why would any company spend 2 years to train a junior, only for that junior to jump ship?

Oh and it's not that easy to even find a "trainable" junior. Even if you have a fairly strict hiring process, at least 1/3rds of the people coming out of the edication system will be draft busts if using sports terms

It has all the features of Lightroom with some extras.

I had to do this in a past job too - a vendor provided a module with a license check which wouldn't allow the binary to run on Windows Server, but the "enterprise" solution which was licensed for Windows Server was not only not only sold anymore but lost!

Ghidra didn't exist yet and I didn't care to deal with the IDA demo, so I used OllyDbg and then just manually hex-patched the binary. Simpler times :)
I'm sure we all thank the FCC for its gracious permission here.

> In 2016, in response to an ARRL petition for rulemaking, the FCC proposed to remove the symbol rate limitations, which it tentatively concluded had become unnecessary due to advances in modulation techniques and no longer served a useful purpose. That proceeding, WT Docket 16-239, is still pending.

I'm certainly grateful that the custodians of such a valuable public resource as "radio communication" are taking such a deliberate, measured approach to their jobs. Just imagine the horror and chaos that could descend if we allowed higher bandwith digital comms over these frequencies... People might send porn!

Something I've noticed about both vegan/plant-based customers and the industry, is that no one is willing to change their eating habits.

Asian and African cuisine are far less reliant on meat (as a percent of their diet) to bring flavor to their food. However, I rarely see vegans driving adoption for Indian/Haitian/west-african food. Instead it is the same old efforts towards mastering the vegan beef patty/sausage and vegan pizza. Guess what, India has had an amazing mc Aloo Tikki & mcVeggie in McDonald's for 20 years and they taste better than any vegan burger that is readily available. Let alone native dishes that are far more aligned with vegan ingredients.

As long as our diets are reliant on meat and dairy as the sources of flavor and lynchpins of the cuisines, we won't see a perceptible change in net contributions to environmental degradation and climate change.

At the same time, the recycle campaigns of the 2000s have shown that expecting ground up action from the customer almost never works. There needs to be a production side once give to push sustainable solutions. Maybe we could start with. Ew balancing subsidies to push sustainable practises in the food industry. But food luck getting past that lobby.

One of the big changes happening in the industry is increasing collection of road line quality data. Previously we'd use handheld meters to spot check pavement markers. The new state of the art is to use continuous laser scanners attached to vehicles to measure all of the pavement markers on the road. This data is used to identify what areas need to be re-striped, to see how different materials fare in different conditions over time, and to submit warranty claims when things aren't up to spec.
To note, this only applies to online games. The restrictions are supposed to be server side only.
You’d have to stalk them first when they opened and started the car earlier. This is a replay attack, you need to be around to record the original.

Swissbit does a lot of that sort of thing. A bit pricey.
Each US nuclear reactor has a planned shutdown every two years or so [1]. It's a crazy couple weeks, particularly since many outside technical crews brought in to work on the shutdown are already scheduled to go on to the next shutdown, and if the dates isn't hit, costs go sky high. Not to mention you've got a billion and half dollars worth of power generation sitting idle while it's down.

Since US plants are old, some of the control systems are purely mechanical. Think PID loops, but built out of spinning metal.

According to the legends circulating around Sunday afternoon barbecues near my local power plant, these require super-human skill to tune. Hordes of fresh engineering graduates wielding Matlab has been broken by the challenge, resulting in dreaded shutdown overruns. Also the difference between a well tuned control system and a oldish one makes a lot of financial difference in the operation of the plant for the next two years. Making a new digital control system would require an unthinkable recertification from the NRC, and is a total no-go.

And so the US nuclear infrastructure relies on a handful of old, retired engineers known as "witchdoctors". They show up for a week or less of a shutdown, tune the spinny bits to perfection, do it on schedule, every time. Vice-presidents tremble at their every whim. The fee for a tuning was rumored to be $250,000, and the witchdoctors then disappears back to one of his three homes in the Caribbean, or to some inaccessible mountain retreat.

(I, of course, cannot verify the truth of any of this. Just things I've heard.)

I'm quite happy for my kids to spend hours playing online when they are playing together with friends. They start up discord audio rooms or whatever and play as a team.

I would also already own a remarkable-2 if it had a builtin light. I do about 20% of my reading with the lights off, and while I can (and do) use a booklight, there's considerable light-spillage compared to most builtin lights and the lights I've tried all either have arms so short as to be hard to position right, or arms so long that the weight of the light overcomes the elasticity of the arm.
