That's why you run a trusted Linux distro in production, like sles or rhel or ubuntu, their core value proposition is _exactly_ this: Provide binary compatible drop in replacement security updates for shared objects over the lifetime of the platform. They even maintain kernel internal abi compatibility for the released and maintained product, so your exotic-hardware.ko module doesn't need to be updated.

Also there is mature tooling around ABI compliance checking:
https://lvc.github.io/abi-compliance-checker/

This is used to document the ABI stability of mature projects like so: https://abi-laboratory.pro/index.php?view=tracker

E: re thoughts and prayers, the mature Linux distro all run extensive revalidation for their security updates. Breaking customer binary applications with a security update is the absolute worst case scenario. For yocto or similar cost free projects, or Linux distros that are source, not binary, that may be a different story. But for sles, rhel, ubuntu it's not thoughts and prayers but a maintenance verification and release process on their side and a monthly bill on yours.

The Lisp term "dynamic" means "stack-like LIFO discipline".
"Dynamic scope" is a shorthand that refers to "indefinite scope with dynamic extent", where "dynamic extent" refers to the bindings being tied to stack-like frames, such that they are torn down then constructs terminate.

When we "declare dynamic-extent" an object, the compiler may stack-allocate it.

The C language redefined "dynamic" from "stack" to "heap". If you look into the BCPL manual (one predecessor language that inspired Ken Thompson's B), it uses "dynamic extent" to refer to the stack, which C renamed to "automatic storage":

"[T]he extent of a dynamic data item starts when its declaration is executed and continues until execution leaves the scope of the declaration." (1967 BCPL Manual, 7.2)

Django on Azure – beyond “hello world”
No need for “orchestration”. Pretty straight forward, hackers gonna hack and if you don’t give them a legal outlet they will just attack domestic targets all the same. Works the same way here, the feds don’t coordinate with black hats to attack adversaries. Black hats can become some of the most patriotic fighters, it’s pretty interesting.

We all know that developer who wanted to start their own startup/product but felt into hard times and so to keep the lights running they started to do consultancy/freelancing on the side. Then consultancy became their main thing and the startup was sent to the back burner or they just quit the venture entirely.
Pandora Papers: Secret wealth and dealings of world leaders exposed
I am focusing on the article itself, which is if cryptocurrency is feasible to the unbanked, usually in Africa, and if cryptocurrency can solve it. I have explained in another comment why Africans usually can't use banks in genral, and why in my opinion cryptocurrency can't fully solve the problem (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28736411).

I personally want to understand from people who understands how they do function if they do have ideas to actually do it in a practical way. While the idea presented by the GP is indeed good in the long run, it still doesn't solve the problem that most unbanked people in those areas have only either a basic phone (i.e. purely calls and text) or even none, which precludes the habitual use of cryptocurrencies. I also acknowledged that for long-term storage away from often-opressive regimes, there are solutions available.

However, unless you can give everyone in Africa a smartphone and build the infrastructure necessary to have a reliable internet connection, I cannot say that, as of what I've read, have a realistic solution to everyday use of cryptocurrencies hold well.

Unfortunately, you've just stated something that is frankly unhelpful. I've read the article, I've read the comments and be very careful since that these types of discussions tends to catch fire quickly. I've just pointed out that for realistic use in this case, it is currently simply impossible in inner reaches of Africa. Even 3np acknowedges that costs on dedicated wallets should decrease (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28736599) if Africans will use it. As of now, it's not simply feasible.
Currently, I use abduco for 'isolated persistent sessions' and then if I need a layout on top of that, resume the abduco instances inside panes in a tmux layout.

I could quite possibly replace tmux with dvtm but I'd been doing screen then screen+dtach then tmux+dtach before that so tmux+abduco was an incremental improvement that kept most of my workflow intact.
Interesting. Here in the Netherlands this is called "laag frequent geluid" and is becoming more and more seen as a health problem. Primarily because it can drive people nuts...

In cities with a lot of industry you can call the environmental service for such a thing and they will come and do measurements [1]. The health department of the government also has special pages on it [2].

I'm pretty sure Stockholm Syndrome is when one falls in love with their hostage taker, which sounds pretty different than me feeling distance or animosity towards Facebook. Fair point in that it may not be so healthy for me to stay, although leaving also has its strong downsides, which may contribute to this feeling of helplessness, and yet I'm almost certain it's not Stockholm syndrome.

Cities had pretty substantial manufacturing bases before deindustrialization.

Middle class in cities is shrinking, and most American cities of any notable size are split between knowledge workers and a service worker underclass. That’s why so many American cities are split between very nice neighborhoods aNd those that resemble 80s Detroit.
It is lovely to see someone sharing software work they did just because they find it subject interesting and fun, not to make a buck or pad a portfolio. This has some good hacker vibes, harder and harder to find these days. Bravo.
Thanks for the feedback, yeah at this stage we really just wanted to find out if we can build something useful for the community. Agreed on the pricing suggestion.

Also, interesting point about inference. I'm not sure though how common it is for companies to need GPUs for inference. Because if you can have a CPU based inference model, which I thought was most common, it's probably not a big usecase?
My take is that RPA by itself is useful as most big companies have mind blowingly manual processes in their back offices (or even worse they don't have mapped their processes).

The combination of RPA with AI/ML, usually called "Intelligent Process Automation" is merely dropping some OCR or NLP engine here and there to help in points of the workflow when there is no other possiblity other than some person reading a document and trying to come up with the next step. Calling this "AI" is a stretch.
> It is all around us.
> People no longer willing to work.

What? What planet is this? What I have seen is people rearranging their lives by changing their careers, which is hard. Being aware of the gaps in your life and then changing to fill them is extremely hard. Giving up money and prestige to spend time with kids who are not always grateful, at least at first, can be extremely difficult. The big trend I am seeing is people starting their own businesses instead of letting themselves be satisfied with being a corporate tool.

Going a step further, whatever metric this person is using that leads to such grand trivialization is likely to make them insufferable and impossible to reach. Have some feedback about what might make their latest offering more desirable? Sorry, too busy working hard to listen to your weakness based complaints.

Especially in the tech world my experience is that what really wins is being lazy and then extending that to allow others to be lazy. Always be alert for sharp edges can and should be sanded down to leave room for other stuff whether that is beach time, family time, or development time for the next big thing.
Not religious, but young enough that I still worried about using swears. But yes, US. I generally thought "hell" was considered a low-grade swear everywhere in US but could be wrong.
I am not sure. I have a sister who used to do that and she wasn't overweight neither had any obvious eating disorder. Maybe it was because she was an athlete?
I know other people with obvious weight problems that wake up in the middle of the night to eat and maybe for those it might be considered a disorder.

I agree. I was trying to find out what synchrotron they used, Ars doesnt say! Went to read the paper, apparently they used some portable device for the xrf instead.
Certainly, and I wonder why custom fit earphones are not more popular. They are a bit expensive but many people don't mind paying more than $200 on headphones and that's about how much entry level custom molded earphones cost.

I didn't try them but I have custom molded earplugs, and there is no comparison to anything else I have tried. They are comfortable and they stay in place. They are the kind that musicians use and they are optimized for low distortion, but you can use a different filter, because they seal so well, you really get the sound you want, and not whatever is allowed to leak.
> Joins are not even a thing in graph databases; being able to directly query across edges obviates the entire concept.

Joins are the central thing in graph databases, even if you don't think of it in those terms or materialize some of the join operations. Being able to directly query across edges is a logical operation, it doesn't imply the underlying implementation. While the simple "node/edge" model in memory seems easy, it also has pathologically poor locality so most graph databases use less direct representations (traversed with join operations under the hood) with much higher average performance.

> That's like saying condoms are ineffective because you included people too lazy to put them on in the first place in your calculations.

I think it's closer to say that the existance of condoms won't make AIDS and unwanted pregnancies disappear, even if they were 100% effective. Which, if you're trying to eliminate completly AIDS, is a fair claim to make.

My point is that you shouldn't assume that everyone is going to follow the Go guidelines, because some people won't, and you don't want your security to rely on that.
And... Welcome to a bunch of layoffs from rent seeking parasite industries while all the fat cats try to park their capital somewhere else ahead of the regulatory crackdown curve.

The problem is centralization of wealth, absurd expectations on the returns of capital, and the coupled wage theft that enables those returns, popularized by an entire generation of Welch worshippers, and skewed expectations created by export of production, and increasing reliance on safe-harbor third world labor prices.

It's all way more interconnected than it looks.

I switched to Comply foam, then back to silicon for good. The dealbreaker for me was cleanliness. The downside you mentioned of squishing the foam was the biggest reason; I always aimed to sanitize my hands before rolling the foam (pre-Covid, to prevent colds), so it was an extra hassle to take them out often.

Also, it's easy to clean silicon tips with dish soap and water (alternatively isopropyl), but I found that Comply tips break down really easily with washing. They're also expensive to replace frequently, and I found that cheaper foam alternatives didn't measure up.

If regular cleaning isn't a concern (isn't strictly necessary, it's just a personal preference), Comply tips work, though I would only use them for IEMs that don't fit well for silicon.
My first thought was they were found glacial erratic spheres, which could have been traded, or used as a talisman of luck.

Alternatively, they were shaped by hand, though I'd expect them to be smoother if that were the case.

The question is, how closely do the sizes of the two objects match? If it's within a few percent, they are unlikely to be found objects.
It started off the same for me, but I found best fitting of the 3 or 4 tips it comes with, which weren't the ones I thought were best while standing still, and got used to it, and ended up liking my jaybirds.
In Alaska’s Covid Crisis, Doctors Must Decide Who Lives and Who Dies
Given the fact that other governments are fielding hypersonic scramjet missiles, I don't think so.
Contrary to this mindset of simplicity over everything else, abstraction is the very bane of existence of the whole field. While there is indeed accidental complexity we should strive to avoid, there is essential complexity which can only be managed through proper abstractions.

So that over-engineered library that actually solves the problem is the only real productivity benefit we can achieve, since languages don’t beat each other in productivity to any significant degree (see Brooks).

So while one may not want to go into macro-magic with a semi-junior team, no abstraction will just as much kill a project because LOC will explode, it will have tremendous amounts of buggy copy-pasted/multiple times implemented code, etc. And the few empirical facts we know about programming is that bug count correlates linearly with LOC.
> Announcing breakthrough, surprising even, HAWC tech seems to clue in opponents about what sorts of countermeasures they'd want to start developing.

It's pretty hard to hide hypersonic devices these days, and the concept is not exactly a secret: Russia and China are testing devices, and multiple other countries are working on developing their own.

Poking around suggests that neither side is giving the whole story, though. Both are in thrall to the ideology of their showrunners and audience, and both ignore and distort inconvenient facts for that ideology. That's sadly the norm these days, no matter what source you read.

I wouldn't blindly trust my safety and the safety of my kids to either side. They both have huge vested interests in promoting the stories they promote.
A nice Sunday afternoon read. One small mistake: the article’s phrasing implies that water doesn’t magnify, and that a spherical glass shell does, which is wrong on both fronts.

This is extremely cool. Many years ago I started and abandoned a similar kind of thing. The plan was to have support for LV2[1] plugins, so you'd get something like a Mod Duo[2] (itself very cool), but like this in that'd boot fast, have low latency, and be really cheap.

YMMV, but I take it with me when I go out, like a phone. I'm the kind of person to slip my laptop into my bag when I go out, in case I want to relax at a coffee shop for a bit - the Micro PC renders that unnecessary. It's far more ergonomic for chatting and web browsing than a smartphone, and it's capable of doing more or less any desktop task. You could comfortably use org-mode on the go for example, if that's your bag.

It's also handy for miscellaneous tasks where being small or durable is an advantage - I plug it into my surround sound to play tunes (USB, but it has a headphone jack too), and it's really useful on a crowded workbench for displaying schematics or documentation. I would never let my main laptop anywhere near a solder station, but this tough little guy can nestle in there no problem. Good kitchen computer too, for the same reason.

Finally, I find being able to pace around while typing to be a game changer. I can go for a walk and jot down any thoughts I have in seconds. It also enables a kind of deskless work style, where you can comfortably do virtually any task in odd and shifting positions, which I find ergonomically useful from time to time.

>People who inherited wealth are the unhappiest

Please. Meet more people or just read a newspaper or book. The rich love to whine about dissatisfaction, but it is in the smallest tier of unhappiness. The stress of dealing with (or putting off) healthcare you need but can't afford, being evicted or having your utilities turned off, watching those around you slowly die to a drug epidemic, living every day in fear of being arrested by the police that target your neighborhood or your race.....there are actual hardships in life, and the boredom of being out of ideas on how to spend your money is not one of them.
I mean, depends where on earth you are, but my parents born in yugoslavia in the late 50s remember plowing with oxen, the first bw TV sets appeared in their village in the 60s or early 70s, there was no indoor plumbing or electricity when they were very little, they were transporting water in buckets on donkeys etc.

For a moment, reading only the first paragraph, I was hopeful that the problem of accelerating from subsonic to hypersonic had been solved. Alas, further down it makes clear that a booster was involved. Presumably a small solid rocket that accelerates to Mach 3-5(?) prior to scramjet ignition. Fine for a weapons system but will never be useful as transportation.

Is anyone aware of progress toward being able to reach these speeds without disposable boosters?

The SR-71 could make Mach 3 on its own but at incredible cost in fuel and complexity.

My understanding is that Beats sound good right away through the way they boost the bass and such, but they have a wonky response curve that misses a lot and you can generally get better for the same money.

But nothing in the $100 range is going to be outstanding anyway. I recently finally decided to try spending some more, did some research, and landed at the MMX 300 for around $270. It's been amazing how much I was missing out on with all the cheaper stuff I'd previously had, from $20 to $90. Just all the stuff I'm hearing (hearing at all or more clearly) for the first time in very familiar tracks.
That's repair, not parts, and it's only screens, not any of the other many parts that often fail.

Of course the pricing is lower than buying an ebay screen, because apple won't sell you a screen, so sellers on ebay have to procure them illegally. Again, a problem that apple iself created.
> Python isn't much better in this regard, thanks to the GIL.

Take some standard ML model built with Caret or LME4 and try serve predictions with Plumber in R. It’s significantly more painful than using sklearn + FastAPI. You either need to use future::promise (which still sucks because it’s forking new R runtimes) or forgo this and go K8s or something similar.

I don’t get the love for RStudio either. It crashes frequently for me, or locks up randomly. The debugging experience is abysmal compared to PyCharm. Getting reproducible R builds are a pain, slightly alleviated by Renv. But not really if you want separate dependencies for dev and production.

Python and R tooling are not comparable. You will have serious issues operationalising R. Skills that most statisticians are simply not equipped to deal with, and serious software engineers will hate about R.
