RSA enrollment is probably the single most challenging end user issue our IT folks deal with. After password reset it’s the #2 call, and lots of time, training and engineering effort has been expended to improve the experience. (And those efforts were very effective!)

car making, EV charging and selling of home batteries are all terrible businesses: Highly competitive and capital intense, unit economics are disheartening (feel free to look into the financial statements of public pure-play companies in these sectors) - for cars you have a century of empirical data.

Are Tesla's manufacturing capabilities really superior to Toyota? The latter is making 20x as many cars (2020), makes money while doing so and is worth about a third of Tesla.
> The difference is that these companies actually have real assets, and holding stock legally grants you fractional ownership over them.

So? How valuable is "legal ownership" over an asset if that doesn't actually entitle you to anything besides a certificate of ownership?

In practical terms, non-dividend-paying stock actually looks a lot like an NFT, unless you've amassed enough voting control to actually matter.

Is it really a Jobs quote if every time he mentioned it, he attributed it to someone else? I realize your link discusses this at length, but it seems Jobs himself would not say it is his quote.
But you make it sound like a good thing! I don't like it at all.
I've only been doing it for a couple months. Still need some time before people hopefully convert from the free tier. Good traffic but ROI is not great yet. But with SaaS, a few good conversions can pay for everything pretty quickly so I'm going to stick it out for a bit.
It’s based on risk. TOTP tokens only provide moderate assurance.

I really like this idea (microtransactions) and yet don't really like the usage of ETH for them. Maybe this is unrelated, I guess I just want to receive payments in a currency that is relatively stable, and it seems like ETH, with so many people trying to make money off it rising in value (and maybe its monetary policy), has quite a volatile value.

Do you think web3 will work with such volatile currencies? Will these currencies stabilize?

I guess right now I'm hesitant to receive payment in crypto for that fear.
"However, the German government is understood to have not yet written to British people living there, asking them to consider driving an HGV when they have never done so before."

What an irrelevant statement. Unless Germany is also experiencing a driver shortage.
Definitely don't use it in headers, because it pollutes the namespace of files including it. In .cpp files it's more subjective. You can also resort to only using it in functions, to limit it's scope to code where you make heavy use of std.
The moment you have symptoms peak replication is already over for two da,s. It's to late by then.
Yes, which is why I complained about how nonorthogonal the C++ was instead of just how verbose :)

Color me very very very skeptical it can solve a real-world problem for the average user.
Because I love Python, and Rust is applicable is many places where C++ is, here's a Rust version :

// assuming `numbers` is an iterator
numbers.any(|i| i % 2 == 1)

Rust's iterators generally compile down very well, and I think this exactly as expressive as Python. And I also wished C#'s Enumerable were as performant as Rust's iterators.
Even a 40 tonne tractor+trailer isn't hard to drive. I did it with a friend on long stretches of motorways. Surprising amount of torque and braking power. Reversing and maneuvering it anywhere is the real challenge :D
Why won't they do it in writing? Every rejection I've had of a take home assignment has given detailed feedback in writing. Requiring a call for everything seems more like culture rather than something necessary.

That may be how you make kids enjoy learning, but edutainment doesn't sell based on fun. It sells based on curriculum. You need to target a specific known study path and be maximally efficient in presenting those concepts and offering a way to grade performance that translates to standardized tests. Anything else is DOA because neither parents nor teachers nor kids will buy it.
Good point, the title of the article is: "Influenza lineage extinction during the COVID-19 pandemic?", I don't know how the HN headline came to be ("This influenza lineage may have become extinct"), but it does seem like a very very light form of clickbait.
To be fair, the OP said:

> The biggest culture shock I had coming to North America, how materialistic, exhibitionistic and keeping-up-with-the-joneses *the whole culture is*

And you replied

> My evidence is only anecdotal, but as someone who grew up in, and lived all over America, and lived abroad, *I couldn’t agree more with OP*

You then went on to share your anecdote, seemingly to back up your opening statement. Maybe it wasn't your intent to make broad claims, but when reading your comment in the context of the parent comments, it's easy to conclude just that.
The time constraints of AAA game dev force many entrants to use Unity too ;)
You’re sounding rather aggressive.

It seems reasonable that if I finance X% of something, I get to enjoy X% of it. Or Y%, adjusted for non-monetary investment by someone else.

It seems strange that the state finances (drug development) research, the companies say “cheers” and proceed to keep all the profits.

Such profits could for example go towards universal health care improvements.
I'm using kafdrop but modify it a bit. Reasons:
- the front page is very slow if there are a lot of topics (the kafka cluster I'm using has 6k topics). It's because kafdrop tries to get a lot of information of every topic even though it doesn't display them on the screen. I modified it like this: after display 6k topic names, I send ajax requests to get info (# of partitions, start & end offsets of each partition, number of messages in each partition) of 20 topics each.
- kafdrop doesn't have the feature to send a message to a topic. I added a text area below each topic name so that I can type the mesaage there and send.
- If there's a new message, kafdrop cannot tell me which partition that new message goes to. So I added this feature: suppose that a topic has 3 partitions with 3, 4 and 5 messages. If there are some new messages coming to that topic, I can refresh that topic in the UI and the UI will show something like partition 2: 3 -> 4 messages. So I know that 1 new message goes to partition 2.

I like the multi-cluster management feature of this project. Unfortunately I don't know react (angular + typescript is ok with me), so I'm wondering if I should try this one knowing that I cannot modify it.
The reasons I modified kafdrop are also the features I like to see in a new Kafka UI.

Thanks, the saving the dev environment part was the part that scared me. It certainly helps to have someone tell you you're not crazy. Maybe I'll give it another try sometime!
Nobody on Alpha Centuari cares how much Jeff Bezos owns either. All ownership is contextual, it only looks like we have universal rights enforcement because of the powerful state acting as middleman.

Therefore I have to conclude that NFT usage is an extremely radical act against state power, because what it says is that the state doesn't matter, this blockchain(the one you are using at that moment) does. And you are accepting that your rights end where it does, too, so you had better trust the community.

I never claimed the phenomena was unique to this situation - it's a general phenomena.

Deforestation is a real problem. How do you address this from a policy perspective? If you ban beef, that is only a temporary band-aid on the real problem of deforestation, which both fails to address deforestation properly, and which prevents beneficial uses of livestock such as for reuse of food waste products, grazing of natural grasslands, production of natural fertilizer, etc.
Too European. Why not India?
The definition of the ctype functions as working on unsigned char values and EOF + CHAR_BIT being 8 everywhere now basically means that there isn't much locale-specificity to the ctype functions: they can be made to work with ASCII, ISO-8859-*, and... EBCDIC, but not UTF-8 in general (just ASCII) or any Unicode encoding (idk, maybe they can be made to be locale-specific for Shift-JIS, but only for ASCII in Shift-JIS).

And... yes, glibc does have support for EBCDIC, which is probably ultimately why it has these run-time indirections in its ctype. There's no other reason to have run-time indirections for ctype functions given the limitation of unsigned char values + EOF. That means this code can be simplified a great deal.

Anyways, yes, Drew DeVault's rant misses glibc's need to support EBCDIC, but glibc is exactly like this for every little thing -- an unmaintainable mess. There has to be a better way to produce a fast C library w/o being such a mess on the inside.
The building (AEC- architecture, engineering, construction) industries have the IFC format. https://technical.buildingsmart.org/standards/ifc/

This is meant to be an interop for various BIM (building information modeling) applications. The first generation of technical progress in AEC had been largely about computer generated geometry, but the lagging needs now are on the information attached to the geometry. In the US autodesk's Revit is dominant (and reviled) but the IFC open source development, namely ifcOpenShell & BlenderBIM, is rapidly reaching feature parity. The first computerized cohort of architects knows only AutoCAD, the current cohort will be all Revit, and I predict right now there is a new split coming as much better tools get built. Hypar.io, testfit, speckle etc are some of those tools. Ifc is likely to be a part of that, it's a fresher, cleaner take than awful Revit and opens up the information to much wider platforms.
I don't disagree with any of this, but I also don't think the article/OP is saying otherwise... "I’ll gladly watch ... Anthony Bourdain explain the world through food" doesn't IMO imply Bourdain was any kind of incredible food critic. Rather, he went to interesting places and talked to interesting people and just used food as the vehicle to do that.
Hardware wallet protocol involves a key phrase and password you keep secure elsewhere. You need either wallet + password, or if the wallet breaks, you can buy a new one and initialize it with the seed phrase and then use the same password.

You could use a multi purpose computer, e.g. a phone or PC and software to do the same, but they are more complex devices with more avenues to exploit them, e.g. a keylogger plus something than can upload your keepass file means you're robbed.
We have a makefile and: sudo make it creates an executable.

Its slightly tricky in that the whole make process can only happen on a single thread, so you have to turn off all parallel threads during make - so we have a key on many functions :make that turns off parallel for using make. Ultimatel the make file uses (asdf:make :package-name) to compile to an exe. The other tricky part is to get a web server in the exe to work, and thats handled like this:

(handler-case (bt:join-thread (find-if (lambda (th)

#+os-unix (search "clack-handler-woo" (bt:thread-name th))

#+os-windows (search "hunchentoot" (bt:thread-name th))
)

(bt:all-threads)))

;; Catch a user's C-c

(#+sbcl sb-sys:interactive-interrupt

#+ccl ccl:interrupt-signal-condition

#+clisp system::simple-interrupt-condition

#+ecl ext:interactive-interrupt

#+allegro excl:interrupt-signal

() (progn

(format *error-output* "Aborting.~&")

(stop)

(uiop:quit)))

(error (c) (progn (format t "Woops, an unknown error occured:~&~a~& - restarting service..." c)

#+os-unix (trivial-shell:shell-command "service trinity restart"))

))
I normally insist on the feedback. If I took several hours to do something, the polite thing would be to tell me what exactly they didn't like about it.
in C++ I would write

for (int i: numbers)
if (i % 2 == 1)
return true;
return false;

find_if() etc. is fine if you already have the right predicate function
at hand but it becomes quite ridiculous with lambda expressions.
Well Jules Verne’s “The Mysterious Island” awakened all sorts of engineering thinking in me when I was very little.

My parents were believers in not reading children’s books but actual novels to me, at ages 4+ and they went through most of Verne’s novels, but I will never forget that particular one.

Bootstrapping civilization from literally nothing to gunpowder, steam engines and telegraphs was mesmerizing. I think this was the time I decided I wanted to get involved in engineering in general. I mean McGyver is nice and all but I’ve not seen anything come close to scope and ingenuity as a literary work since.
