This has nothing to do with contemporary officers being incompetent or illogical (Although precisely this kind of officers seems to exist in each war. At least at the beginning...)

I think the main problem here is that new doctrines are hard to develop during wars. The German Stoßtrupp doctrine is a succesful example, btw. The various forms of artillery support are another. But these doctrines were developed around existing tools.

If you look at the planes of 1917 or 1918, you find surprisingly sophisticated tactical and strategic bombers. A Schwerpunkt attack under local air superiority would have been very difficult, logistically and tactically, but the planes existed.

Regarding the tanks, you just have to look at the FT17 - it came too late for the French but it was exactly the right tool and could have been built by the Germans as well. The relatively low speed doesn't really matter once the enemy's first line is breached, a few dozen of these tanks would effectively prevent any counter attack and could immediately pressure the second line. They would also draw a lot of artillery fire and massively reduce the value of the indirect artillery pieces that dominated the battlefield.

At the same time, every army could have fielded motorized infantry with motorcycles (afaik only the US did). Such troops would obviously be useless in the first wave of the attack but they could push through a breakthrough and outflank counter attacks. The technology and equipment did exist, but here I think the contemporary doctrine would not allow for such relatively autonomous and expensive small units.
This article isn't doing that, but one thing that's been on my mind is the likely even distribution of work desires across genders

For example, I think there is a very large percentage of men that would like to be subsidized by a benefactor who doubles as a partner, but the pool of benefactors for men is extremely small and also extremely other men. If it was larger and heterosexual, I think this would more quickly drive equal representation in the corporate workforce (since a lot of men would have never showed up, or left, in response to a suitor) than only focusing on why women aren't in or leave the workforce which is also often in response to a suitor.
It's also worth noting that India has been spending the better half of a decade trying to strongarm Big Tech with their massive market to no avail. The government has become increasingly sensitive and restless in recent years, demanding companies like Twitter and Facebook censor info or risk their domestic employees being perpetually arrested. So, yeah, there are some concerns to be had with their tech policy.

Low sun angle in the winter vs summer means a bit more thought needs to go in to making the decision of whether net retention or net reflection is preferable. My strategy is to cover the entire roof in solar panels and to try to find useful things to do with the electricity. Sadly that does not send much power back into space, and my panels are only 22% efficient.

Plus, in practice, you'll want a ton of insulation between the interior space and the roof anyway. So if you've done a good job there it's kind of a moot point wrt/interior comfort. But sending that power back into space rather than absorbing it can reduce thermal cycle stress on the roof and keep the outdoor space nearby cooler.

You should read up on modern (not Soviet) accounts of the battle of Kursk. The effect of the Luftwaffe was huge.
Attacks here are incredibly common. Fortunately they're usually unsophisticated and are just plain crypto mining to steal CPU cycles.

Worst case is if a CI system has permissions to deploy to production, which is really common too.

Another common one to watch out for is permissions to publish artifacts. It's very common for a CI system to build and test something like a container image, then for another system to promote that image to production. Even when the CI system can't touch production directly, it can still be used to pivot to more sensitive targets.

I doubt there is a target audience which fails to comprehend the un-doodlified versions of these doodles, and is helped significantly by the cats and colorfulness.
Just wanted to clarify that the first one from 2014 was under a different ruling party than the current one as the date is 27th March 2014.

I don't like attempts made at censoring information either, but lumping these together doesn't come off as honest.
I've worked places where the main app driving the business office was written in A5 or FileMaker Pro. One was an ISP that ran ISP management from some ISV and it charged us per maximum active subscriptions. I forget the name.

I made a decent chunk of my living for a time taking custom small business apps in QuickBasic or similar systems and plugging them into a graphical interface. My method was sometimes more complex, but often it was translating to OOBasic and using Open Office forms for the interface. One could get auto-saved updates white a database breaking it, and even trigger an update in the UI if someone changed data in the DB from another connection.

It's not surprising someone else thought of such a system. It's just surprising they don't acknowledge any awareness of existing solutions. Our industry is often blind to its own history which is fairly said since we're the ones who facilitate massive data storage and archival.

The number of apartments per square metre is limited by political reasons (ban on high buildings, minimum size etc)

20 years ago when I moved to London I'd have loved to find a tiny self contained Japanese style 10 square metre apartment[0], which is cheaper (in actuality, not just inflationwise) and far nicer and featureful than the HMO I ended up in.

Iirc the first income tax targeted a very small number of individuals- maybe just Rockefeller or something, as nobody else qualified.
Yes, but that is not what we're talking about: "she said Apple had begun trying to reassign her after she complained that the company’s work on the minerals was not, in some cases, leading to meaningful change in some war-torn countries"
One of the problems of 2021 is that money printers went brrrr with such intensity that some people are losing faith in future purchasing power of their local currencies and stick any free money into bricks and mortar.

Also, where I live, the official inflation is now like 4 per cent, but gosh, so many things are massively more expensive than before (food in restaurants maybe 40 per cent, some construction material even 100 per cent more expensive than before), that it makes people distrustful of official figures.

No, and we're not.
Possibly, possibly not. One thing they really like with this is that it radiates heat photons in wavelengths that go through the sky rather than being reflected back to the ground by the greenhouse effect.

Before you can decide if you're failed -- even temporarily, you need to decide if you've succeeded. What does success really look like to you?
I really don't understand the hate for checked exceptions either. The only downside to me is that you're forced to deal with exceptions when trying to prototype some code. A compiler option to ignore checked exceptions would easily fix that.
The BauNVO stipulates restrictions on building height and on floor area relative to land area. Are you sure it's legal to build a 30-storey apartment in a residential zoned area in Berlin without needing to get some special exemption or permit?

In the US and many other countries, the reason is definitely local government restrictions. Developers would love to build more high-rise apartments - it's very profitable to them - but they're not allowed to in many areas. In the area I'm living in, it is illegal to do it.

The incentive picture is not as you're portraying, and we can look to other industries for counter examples. If there's profit to make, the market will fill those shoes, even if there's "more profit" (which I don't agree is the case always due to volume) serving wealthier customers. Consider the market for low-margin cheap restaurants in poor areas, and the market for high-end dining in rich areas. These are both very well served markets. The market will almost always find profits where they're to be had, especially in an industry like real estate development.

1. Implicitly assuming something not specifically guaranteed is a logic error. Its like assuming hashcode(x) = x just because it happens to be true for small numbers in python. Its not part of the spec, and just observing it to be true a few times doesn’t change anything.

You could a. document the implicit assumption that the list is sorted or b. sort the list before continuing further.

2. A resource not being freed in all cases is also a logic error.

3. In the context of basically calling any service/API repeatedly, not using backoffs and setting a hard limit on the number of tries is also a mistake. I dont know if its a “logic error” but its certainly an error.

I don’t know why you think these are not error cases. Your program fails, and can be written in a way that does not fail or fails slightly more gracefully - thats an error case. There is some judgement involved - i might not implement backoff in a context where i know its not yet needed, i might just log a particularly obscure exception instead of trying to recover if i can’t imagine why it would happen. I’m not saying your program should be perfectly bug free from the moment its written - i’ve written plenty of buggy code too and we're all human. There are even a few errors that are truly insane like literally hitting a compiler bug that silently corrupts your program. Just that calling these things not error cases (and what, random acts of misfortune instead?) is a weirdly defeatist attitude that impedes further progress. They're all error cases, the only question is how much time and knowledge do you have to dedicate to handling them.
bcc comes with the sslsniff(8) tool that does just this, created by Adrian Lopez in 2016. I don't know why the article didn't mention that, since they are using bcc.

It's also a trivial bpftrace program, which we've been recommending for beginners over bcc for years (including in my eBPF summit keynote two years running).

This article would make sense if it was written in 2015.
I learned enough vi to get by the few times I actually had to use it for that reason (nothing else installed). Which comes down to cursor movement, changing the mode, deleting lines and chars, and :wq!

But in all these years I hardly ever encountered a situation where I had to edit some files on a machine that only had vi installed. Perhaps I would have learned it by now if that had been the case more often.

You can navigate that environment without tons of policy, but it requires investing in clear values and a solid culture. That's much harder than adding a new policy at the end of every incident.
A more accurate analogy is that if you avoid eating pork you must also avoid eating anything with gelatin made from pig bones, such as licorice, pudding, and some baking mixes.
There are some things that are distinct in my mind, that I don't see other people distinguishing, when it comes to "preventive actions".

I would be inclined to wear a helmet or a seatbelt regardless of the law, so it doesn't make a practical difference to me if they are mandated.

On the other hand, it seems arbitrarily inconsistent to me, to say it's ok for motorcyclists to take a lot of risk, even with a helmet, and yet not allow car drivers to choose whether to wear a seatbelt or have an airbag.

I can drive any old pre-airbag car that's nearly as dangerous as a motorcycle, but there's little accommodation for selling new cars without every bell and whistle.

Not that I would want someone to say "ok, then we'll outlaw motorcycles and scrap all the old cars".

But I'm not sure these regulations are really necessary.
If people have different risk tolerances, then they can pay an appropriate amount in insurance.

On the other hand, I do strongly believe in safety regulations where the risk is not obvious and people can't judge it. I can't see if food or drugs are potentially lethal, it has to be certified and monitored by experts.

With cars, the question of whether the seatbelts will work correctly in a crash is something that regulations need to cover, even if we were to say it's ok to not have them at all.

When I first visited and then lived in the US for about a decade (coming from Europe) I was surprised about what I perceived as purely a jobs program kind of jobs.

Examples: People at road construction sites holding "Stop" signs, packagers in supermarkets, money collectors in toll booths (even before electronic devices, just using a machine was easily and cheaply possible and frequently and successfully used elsewhere), and a few other jobs that appeared to be unnecessary and purely intended to keep some people busy.

Things like that, and how the defense budget is actually used as a jobs program in large parts, were quite eye opening for me. I came from former East Germany and we always thought US as the most capitalist of all places, but when I first visited for a few months of travel not long after reunification I was very surprised to find some things that we in East Germany even used in jokes comparing East and West, and now I found out that e.g. "employee of the month" (with a special parking lot no less), that we thought was a typical socialism thing, and we even had a joke about that which implied and presumed that something like that could never exist in a country such as the US, was something they actually had. Also, the reverence to uniforms (military and police especially) was very East German.

I think the US is confused about how capitalist they really are. Under the hood they try to solve the same problems as everybody else and come up with very similar solutions, only that they need be be branded differently because you can't do any "socialism" openly.

Yeah in this case investors are punished for investing into space inefficient single family homes. Multiple apartments on a plot reduce the tax burden of the land value tax. So big investors will primarily invest in multi family housing.

In general taxes are regressive and people want to avoid them. If you tax regressive behavior the most, people will stop doing it.
I’m actually one of the authors. The main thing we are trying to address in microfluidics is he feasibility, which is why we have been focusing on 3D printing as opposed to traditional clean room fabrication techniques because we can make a new design and see if it works in all of like 15 minutes whereas with clean room fabrication it would take closer to weeks. As far as the connections, we talk about those in some of our earlier papers referenced in the article, but it is actually quite simple. Instead of traditional connectors, we just include roughly 1mm diameter output holes where we can epoxy in tubing that has the same width.

Ask HN: In a company, how do you deal with people who appropriates your ideas?
I work as a software architect in a Fortune 500 company.
According to some people I know from the outside, I'm introverted and "too modest" .
There are 80 developers and 6 software architects.

I usually find some really nice technologies and ways to improve our system and most of the time,
things work as I expected. Plus, whenever there is a bug nobody knows how to deal with, I'm the one they call.

The thing is there are some architects who sometimes challenge my ideas and even refute them.
I'm Ok with that.
But the worst and that's what makes me sick is that when I'm spot on, those same architects who refute my ideas,
copy/paste my solutions and even sometimes evangelise them to other It departments in my company.

Question : how do you deal with people appropriating your ideas in a company (especially after they publicly criticised them ) ?
(PS: I'm not saying "I'm the best" and "they are all wrong". I'm just describing what sometimes happens).
Or maybe there could be more nuance to the case.

It might be impossible to obtain enough information about the original without destroying it, e.g. by instant freezing and then removing and identifying the molecules one by one.

However once you have the complete information, it should be possible to make any number of copies, all of them starting with identical memories until the moment when the original was destroyed.

To be clear the article says vaccine passports == good. Immunity passports would somehow violate laws protecting those with disabilities. Hard to understand how that works.

So assuming we live in a world with 2 types of passports where you must possess one to be free within that country. Are disabled people exempt outright from these restrictions? If yes then how could they be discriminated against, if no then go to next step. If a disabled person doesn't get vaccinated and cannot produce antibodies then they are being discriminated against by both types of passports. If the disabled person does get vaccinated and cannot/will not produce the antibodies to get both passports then they are not disciminated because you only need 1 of 2 passports to get around. I cannot believe someone bothered to express this ridiculous line of reasoning.

I've got to be missing something.
I'm sorry, but are we talking about the post docs ~running the experiment~ managing the routine tasks beneath the dignity of the department/lab head or the people participating in the experiment?
