> The defining characteristic of the great relief is the sense of immediate progress. After days or weeks of careful analysis, you are suddenly moving forward again and… it’s a delightful relief. You are no longer stuck endlessly second-guessing yourself.

I truly wish this were my experience. If I'm facing a decision that it really hard for me to make, then once I've made it, I experience no such relief.
While I hate it, I agree with this in that in most settings heads will roll if your main moneymaking service is offline because of a billing snag.
That's true up to a point, but many houses decay beyond profitable repair eventually.

It depends how they are constructed and maintained.

In some cultures, houses are not expected to last a long time. Japanese houses famously depreciate with time and lose all their value after about 20 to 30 years.

In other cultures, houses that could last a long time don't get maintained if the people living in them are too poor to do so. Depending on the materials, and construction aspects like breathability, the house could still last a long time, or the materials could decay, crumble, become mouldy etc to the point that the only economical thing to do is tear the house down and rebuild.

Old houses (especially mansions) that are particularly historically interesting or very old may have preservation orders on them, limiting how you are permitted repair and rebuild. Sometimes this means repair will cost so much that only a rich person could afford to do it, and the repaired result would be worth less than the cost of that repair, so the transaction value of the property drops to a nominally low value (it's really negative value), but it's only available to someone who can afford to repair it. These properties tend to be inherited, and then the new owner can't afford to look after them.
How does an algorithm known TLE was illegal without holding a law degree and position on a state bar??

They don't and thus have no more legal authority to "know/id" illegality than they have to "know/id" legality.
The purpose of this article isn’t to actually argue that mainframes are cheaper. It’s an asset for a CTO who’s staying on mainframes. When the CFO asks him “why aren’t we moving to Azure? I heard my buddy say he saved $40 million doing that” the CFO sends this article.
Definitely kinda proving the above commenter’s point; here, rather than dissuading it...
why does it have to be that way though?

you are stating the current status quo as unavoidable - why is that?

Archiving everything has a massive cost and if it were illegal to archive unless people consent it would be much harder to get away with it.

> it takes eight times as many antibodies from a vaccinated individual to block the virus

If this is the case, then how can we explain how vaccinated individuals experience less severe symptoms and fewer deaths? Is it because once vaccinated, the immune system is able to respond to this 8x higher demand?
I suppose the idea is that if the element board is used in multiple product lines (this laptop, and desktop NUCs as well) Intel is less likely to kill it suddenly?

Ah then this is where our difference of opinion is. I can see now why you think it's relevant. For me, I always viewed the Russian responses to criticism as diversionary in nature, meant to just essentially say "Well you're not perfect either!". To me, that is just a diversionary tactic to disregard the subject at hand
That's exactly what I'm looking for, looks like I can get a $30 MQ131 with detection a range of 10PPB-2PPM [1], and a "Good" indoor level is 0 - 54ppb [2].

Ah yes, another 'made for tv' political conflict. Congress could just do away with the debt ceiling entirely. Instead, they keep it in place to have a game of political football to score talking points every year or so. The ending is always the same, one side or another caves and passes it, but not before it's been plastered all over the nightly news for a couple of weeks.

Some small part of me wishes they'd touch that hot stove just once, and be left with an indelible reminder of the consequences of what they threaten.
In hunting and shooting sports we have a term, overscoped, that means your rifle scope is either too much for your rifle or you're at greater magnification than you should be.

This is the result of, yes, marketing, but also the kind of naive belief that more magnification → better.

The idea of always just throwing more brain-racking at a problem strikes me as similarly naive. Yes, getting down to work and doing the analysis is important, and sometimes there isn't enough of that. When you don't have enough, go ahead and add more.

But sometimes, the naive brute-force method isn't what’s called for. Sometimes, instead, you need to zoom out.

If those were goalposts, they weren't clear. The miss is that the article in the link doesn't discuss VMs or virtualization at all, so talking about oversubscription/etc seemed like an ad-hoc commentary on the hardware configuration unless I totally missed that in the article, but searching for "virtual", "VM", "vCPU", "subscribe", etc didn't find anything. There's a limited amount of effort I'm gonna put into digging into additional links on "Planet Mainframe" pushing mainframes.

That aside, comments on articles are sometimes more general. "How do mainframes compare in 2021?" is a conversation which is not intrinsically linked to "should you oversubscribe VMs 66:1 for this specific workload?", and I interpreted your comment at the former. I wasn't talking about the article at all.

Technologies mature at different rates. ARPAnet was created in the 1960s. www was created in 1989. Yahoo & Netscape were started in 1994. Foundational infrastructure is rarely explosive in growth.

It's also unclear how you're measuring success. By market cap, Bitcoin beats out all three of your examples (React, TikTok, & Uber). But it's also a bit weird to compare Bitcoin to two of the fastest growing consumer companies in recent memory. It's apples & oranges.

yeah, I think it was in some movie - if you can't decide, flip a coin, and you will already know which side you want it to land while it's still in the air

also, if you can't decide it often (but not always) means choices are about equally good (unless you're missed something big), so you probably won't be terribly wrong either way
RDRAND is a microcoded instruction. The chipmaker does not publish that code, but they absolutely control what it does. If it has any flaws, whether deliberate or accidental, you can't fix them (the processor vendor might be able to fix it with a microcode update, but no one else can). That's why it isn't used.

Your soft PRNG is an algorithm and a relatively simple one at that. You can test it, and verify that you get exactly the same sequence for a given seed whether you use a processor from Intel, AMD, ARM or someone else. Trying to detect and back door it would probably break a lot of other code. The bad guys would probably choose to attack you in a different way.

What that means is that the unvaccinated are much more likely to become seriously ill if infected:

Fortunately, those restrictions were cancelled after 3 weeks, because you know, voting day is coming and we don't need angry citizens to vote against ruling party. But the infrastructure is there and it may be used again any time now.

The Crit Role people, if you watch the interviews, have a shared perspective that a campaign is a collaborative fiction writing exercise akin to improv comedy. The DM writes a Choose Your Own Adventure, and the players work together to convert that into a long form story.

I think it’s telling that a couple of the characters are notoriously bad at fight mechanics and action economy, and yet the story part glosses over some of that. The story happens despite the dice rolls. All the dice say is whether the heroes live at the end or are martyred to the cause.
This concept is old..
Back in the day we used this kind of techniques to sneak any kind of content in imageshack et all. Back then we didn't have Dropbox, online storage wasn't even a thing so we sneaked movies, software or anything in dozen of image files, hosted at plain sight.

This was 20 years ago or so... So many memories!
They haven't 'found' a single practical use case other than for some speculators who think they have a 'store of value'.

Reading this thread it's clear Web3 doesn't really have a use case either, it's more like a concept.

These have many parallels in industry - there are tons of products that never got made because they didn't make a whole lot of sense even though they were cool. The difference being, people can chose to spend their own time on these things now if they so choose and a lot of people do.

It's like a distributed technical artistic counter-cultural social movement except the artists believe they're doing something more practical than they probably are.

What an absolutely insane whataboutism. This has nothing to do with what we're discussing and you look like a joke. You're asserting that vaccine passports infringe upon your freedoms. Just don't go to those bars. Jesus.
That'd be hopeful if true. I agree the speed of increase is slowing. I'm not aware if the actual increase is now negative. That would be great news.
I recall an anecdote about 1916 Easter Rising leaders traveling to Russia to gain military support but were refuted on the grounds that "because they hadn't killed the Bishops" they weren't serious about a Revolution.
I got into computers when my dad brought a Commodore Vic-20 home in 1982. Learned BASIC by typing in programs from Compute magazine. Then in high school they taught us Turbo Pascal on the PC.

I had no intentions of going to college, but my parents prompted it. That was a very smart idea. I did a two-year degree/diploma with a co-op option. I finished with high grades and after graduation got a job with one of the places where I did co-op.

The majority of my career was focused on what we'd now call "full stack" development. I started near the bottom (embedded & mobile) and moved into desktop, server, database, and cloud.

I thought that I would we a programmer forever, but kind of burned out in my mid-30's. I got sick of framework fatigue -- having to re-learn half the stack every few years. So I switch to the dark side and became a development manager. Been doing that for almost 15 years now, but I still keep very close to development by participating in architecture and prototyping.

> One could dream of a new hardware and OS combination that eliminates quite a bit of this, but where would you get software to run on it?

Not exactly the same sort of situations, but there was an HN discussion a while back and from it, I got the impression this is partly why Itanium failed.
I would start applying to other companies if there is time yet on hand. Your internship experience should help you get a few interviews.

If you can end up with an extra offer or two you can have some sort of leverage. But for the sake of money don’t choose something that you think you may not enjoy if your current offer in hand is an overall good opportunity to lean and grow. As another commentator pointed out you can always switch after a year or two
> Fair point. An overrun issue can be mitigated if a) hospitals would not dismiss unvaccinated staff thereby leading them to be understaffed (an unstaffed bed = not a bed, which is one reason why hospitals "don't have enough beds")

I don't believe this is actually a problem. I think you're either mistaken or making this up. Got a citation I might believe this is actually causing any meaningful effects? Because if not, I think hospital staff have a duty to do everything in their power, within reason, to not harm their patients, or make pandemics worse. Which is exactly what someone working with covid patents would do, turn one infection and 20 maybes into 22 infections.

> US medical staff would accept more of the treatment options available in other countries (Japan, India, etc) such as ivermectin.

I'm super hopeful ivermectin is proven to be a useful antiviral. Which it currently isn't. We're in dire need of useful antivirals, and it's only going to get worse. The US has a nasty history of experimenting on it's population, one we're rightfully very careful to make sure we don't repeat. So pretending ivermectin is anything other than uncontrolled experimentation is dishonest at best. There are times when experimental treatments are justified. Hospital capacity ethically speaking isn't one of them.

This may be me, but I like my first line treatments to be backed by large sample, peer approved research before they're used. Radical treatments for the critically ill is another topic; but that's not what we're talking about here is it?

It does not necessarily mean that virus is 8 times more effective in the general case, just that it takes more resources to battle it.
Why stop at 20 years? What makes that a magic number. Your kids, if vaccinated, will be concerned about heart, brain or reproductive issues in 30 years. It's funny you mention measles as there are many people that still don't trust the track record of the measles vaccine.
This is a good answer for that: https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1434530149119135753
Ok the benchmark is from June 17th, 2020 but it’s using a Xeon 6140 a Skylake chip from Q3'17. That gets crushed even by even a $125.00 E5-2670 let alone whatever your similar budget buys you.

So, I am guessing actual head to head benchmarks must be quite bad.
Okay, so how can I learn it? How?
There are even more ethical use cases, Say a disabled person(I am) on a creator platforms who wish to defeat the algorithms which suppress videos from the disabled or similarly those who wish to defeat racial bias.

>it's my understanding that you could change the display colors and sprites by poking a memory address

As far as I know FreeBSD still lets you poke around in /dev/mem, you could make the poor OS have a seizure by doing "sudo dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/mem" last time I tried it. Linux is more restrictive with /dev/mem by default, but I think it can be configured to be more lax if you compile it yourself.
In a modern home, there should be supply and return vents in every room. My home built in 1978 has 3 returns for the entire house, one on each floor. Master bedroom has a supply, but the return is located in the hallway. Over the years, the recommended door cut to allow air flow has been changed (presumably for greater privacy) - which leads to the scenario you're describing.

I could add the door cut back in, install return transfer grill, or look into adding a secondary heat recovery ventilator that acts independently of the primary HVAC system.
A lot of people think that the current status-quo is the only way forward. Why? There is no reason for it.

There is no practical reason why a forum could not have an optin-optout-delete API/protocol/etc that all search engines/archivers should follow.

When I delete something all should follow the orders and those that do not need to be responsible for it.

Of course there are plenty of business reasons why engines don't want to do it.

I think that's a really good question. Financial service companies almost unanimously would rather deal with FINRA than with the SEC because FINRA has a form of democratization of control.

Coinbase certainly started out with the rogue "Can't touch me, it's crypto" bullshittery, but over the past 6 years they have been one of two exchanges (the other being Gemini) which have actually taken regulatory approval and collaboration seriously. Maybe the SEC's fines and handslaps have made them fear the alternative, who knows. Whether that means that they can really have any influence over FINRA is yet to be seen.
I know what Ozone smells like (I remember the old laser printers that were also effective ozone emitters), but trust a sensor more than my ability to smell low levels of Ozone.

Their old one had an issue with the dust sensor clogging.

The new ones use the Honeywell sensor. It has a tiny fan on it (inaudible in a quiet room from 5 inches away); mine ran well for a couple of years until I knocked it off my desk. After that, the fan started rattling, so I ordered another Honeywell sensor ($40) and replaced it (no soldering required, just a screwdriver). That sensor's datasheet doesn't have any cleaning instructions, so I don't think it's a big issue.

Two weeks ago in San Diego, the security line forked into two conveyor belt lines. I walked past the first option (the second had a shorter line), and as I did, the guy stationed there was loudly shouting to the whole line that all electronic devices bigger than a cell phone must be removed from bags. I proceeded to the second line, where I got scolded for taking my laptop out of my bag. I gestured to the other guy and said "he told us all electronic items bigger than a cell phone should be removed." The response? "That's that line, this is this line."

This is my biggest complaint too. The entire idiotic process would be a lot more efficient if they just had consistent expectations and a consistent process so we could all just comply without having to clarify things or being told we're doing it wrong.

Also, could they please give us a reasonable place to move our stuff to while we put our shoes on so we're not holding up the line?
