> I do agree that it's ridiculous to assume that we can manage Github's software better than their own engineers

Why? It's totally reasonable that your own GHE instance will have better uptime.

Running GitHub.com is much, much harder than a private instance (DB scale-out, load, ...).

Our in-house Gerrit infra and CI has had a significantly better uptime than GitHub over the past year, but we have hundreds, not 60 million users and exabytes of storage :-)
Yes it will be just like the good old times! When your favorite local feudal lord forced you and your family to stay living on his property. And picked your profession for you and your descendants. Oh and going to church was mandatory, and paying tithes was required by law.

I think maybe I'll take the corporations instead. :-)

Way back in the earliest days of the cypherpunk movement this was one of the things that people thought Chaumian blind signatures were going to offer and one of the crypto techniques that fascinated me the most. These signatures offered a way for a government to issue you an isa-person cert that you could use to sign up for various online services. The thing about this key was that it was like a blinded ecash token, if you double-spent it you could be revealed. If you set up your reddit account with your cert/token then you would get one account, trying to set up a second would trigger a double-spend reveal and your identity would be exposed. You could set up various ways to do blind reveals of specific info (e.g. gender, age, etc) for various types of classification purposes. Stefan Brands pushed this work even further, but it all sort of disappeared during the dot-com bust. Now if you search for 'stefan brands ecash cryptography' google assumes a typo and you get a bunch of links for some shitcoin being pushed by comrade Segal.

A bit of a long and winding road to head off in the direction of noting that some of the old techniques that were being explored in the crypto cambrian explosion of the early 90s are still out there and still have merit. They just seem buried in the back-and-forth jousting between all or nothing when it comes to online identity.

> It just instructs the compiler to check whether its version matches the one required by the pragma. If it does not match, the compiler issues an error.

This is very different from Rust where your Rust 1.56.0 compiler will cheerfully compile Rust 2015, Rust 2018 and Rust 2021 code, into the same program even. Rust editions are not about the compiler version, they're about the language and every Rust compiler will compile every language edition it knows about.
arcd is actually the part of the program that you call in your shell to use our library's functions. Arc Compute is the name of our company so arcd seemed like a reasonable name. We also considered calling it vfd but so far we've settled on arcd.
But if that were true, live music revenues would be down, since people wouldn't care much about who is performing.

Bogosort is always a fun one, because I think its one of the better introductions to NP-complete problems.

If you imagine that there's no "easy" algorithm to return a sorted list (but sorted lists do exist), then the only methodology possible is to try all combinations. And you do this either systematically, or randomly.

Random NP-complete algorithms, such as WalkSAT, are quite good in practice. Systematic NP-complete algorithms, such as DPLL-SAT, are more "obvious" in how they work, and are sufficient for smaller sizes.

I have a strong mathematical background, I get the definitions, I understand very well the typical examples like the IO monad, yet I frequently have a hard time following more complex monad use examples. Especially transformers. So, I suppose it is not enough to understand the definitions, you really need to think of them as some form of a language.
It also has a chilling effect on journalism (and free speech generally). Even the threat of prosecution for a non-crime serves to discourage others from publicly discussing his administration’s errors.

Xbox One/Series already allow mouse+keyboard. (Some games support it. Edge supports it.)

Xbox One/Series also just got the upgrade to Chromium Edge.

I find it ironic that the complaint in this article about virtualization based security is something that Xbox One has had turned on since the beginning and is a required part of the Xbox platform and game developers just have to perform around it on that platform. (They are assured DRM safety and other things by it in return.)

In this case Microsoft is trying to converge Windows to be more like the Xbox rather than the other way around, and it's interesting to see these complaints about it.

> The problem isn't hardware capability, it's the ecosystem on top of it.

The parent comment stated that the $100 doesn't cover the cost of the hardware. I disagree.

I do think it is perhaps a more reasonable statement to say $100 doesn't cover the cost of the hardware and the software platform on top of it.

I don't think it's right to shove ads down customer's throat on a product that they've paid money for. Whether that's money to buy the hardware and the software platform or whether that's money paid to the subscriptions; in both cases advertisements are the wrong solution to revenue. If software costs money then make that cost up front. Sell the software. Sell updates to the software. Sell a subscription for the software. But don't put ads on it!

My father, with a family to support as the sole breadwinner, was a lousy negotiator.

Someone who "has no family and spends" the extra time learning salary negotiation can accept a higher risk of failure, would be negotiating from a stronger position.

So I don't see how your examples have much bearing - the company is going to pay for what they can profit from, not what the employee needs. If my father doesn't know what comparable positions pay, he has a harder time knowing if (say) 3% pay increases per year is appropriate for his position.
I mean, many small towns have local food joints, but people driving by the highway will still stop at the McDonalds. I think Uber is kinda the McDonalds of transportation; travelers pretty much never want to bother finding out what the local taxi company is called nor they want to take risks with possibly unreliable/sketchy service.

I think Uber Eats' marketing of "we're not the jealous type" kinda expresses it well: there are use cases where Uber is undoubtedly superior (convenient ride summoning), and for other cases where cabs fit the use case, it's often a low-stakes choice, such that things like branding and reputation might trump other qualitative metrics such as price.

And for what it's worth, in many markets, Uber offers a bunch of price-oriented services that taxis simply aren't able to: the pool service was the most well known offering in the US, but in Brazil for example, it also serves "I need a ride NOW, and willing to pay premium, take my money" (the Prioridade service) and "I'm very price sensitive and willing to ride a motorcycle to save a few bucks" (the Moto service).

So far as I can see, literally nothing in your reply has anything to do with hydrogen fuel cells. You could say all the exact same things if what you were proposing was little nuclear reactors in cars, or storing energy in very heavy flywheels, or literal magic, or going back to burning hydrocarbons.

Therefore, nothing in your reply can give us any reason to think that hydrogen fuel cells in particular either should or will win out over batteries.

I dont see why it is wrong to be deported if you illegally entered the country. Some may argue that it specifically deports muslims instead of Hindus. However, Hindus are liteally being lynched in each of the neighboring muslim majority countries (Pakistan, Bangladesh). It makes sense that India serves as the primary country to accept hindu refugees. The Indian refugee program also protects blaspheming muslims who have fatwas against them due ot pointing out backwards atiitutes in the religion.

On the contrary, average Bangladeshi muslims have neither economic (Bangladesh is marginally richer) nor societal (Bangladesh is a religious ethnostate for bengalis) reason to immigrate or seek refuge. Thus, India aims to correctly deport them back to their nation.

It is incredibly irritating to see people signal, as if the moral worth of immigration is determined and as if immigration is a good in and of itself.

Bengal is among Indias most deteriorated states since its golden years as the british center of operations. Statistically, the influx of immigrats certainly has not helped.

Ask HN: Smartphones with Rectangular Screens?
I was thinking about upgrading from my Nexus 6p soon, and I would like a smartphone with a rectangular screen (no notch, cutout, or rounded corners)

However, I am having a hard time finding a list of smartphones with rectangular screens. It seems that even the cheaper end phones have gone to notches or cutouts with rounded corners. The only options I currently know of are the iPhone SE or an old Android phone of some sort.

Could you help give me a list of smartphones that have a rectangular screen? Thank you.

> Especially if your only tools were other rocks.

This is not a entirely valid assumption. It has not been proven that these civilizations only had stone tools. Attempting to portray them as primitive people with only stone tools is highly reductive given the level of sophistication of the structures they managed to create. They may have had sophisticated chemical processes to shape and form rock structures. A simple proof is just by looking at these structures and seeing that even today in 2021, we are unable to form equivalent structures ourselves using modern cranes and rock shaping tools. It is terrible that the knowledge was destroyed by burning their books-khippus and extinguishing their stone masons, technicians and scientists.

> getting a Steuerberater (tax advisor) to help you with the paperwork as a business owner is next to impossible.

Is it really? Are you talking about an advisor for employees or for self-employed people/companies?

I was searching for a tax advisor two years ago and it took me exactly one attempt to get one. My parents got an appointment within a month as well. Also, unless there are very specific circumstances there is little to no reason for an employee to get an advisor. Most of my friends just use the ELSTER form provided by the Finanzamt or use tax software the purchased which makes it slightly less painful.

But I have no clue about how hard it is for companies

Timescale team member here. We take our responsibility to build a rock-solid platform very seriously. We have multiple "levels" of product within Timescale. At our core, we have the open-source database, TimescaleDB. This product releases on a more deliberate and careful cadence, always making sure that we are optimizing for reliability, security, and performance. This has been our approach since our initial launch [0], where we embraced the mantra "boring is awesome", recognizing that for our users stability and reliability is of paramount importance.

Within the core database, we offer features that are carefully marked as "experimental", which we discuss at length in this blog post [1].

Beyond TimescaleDB, we also offer other products that are more SaaS-y in nature. While they're all based on the rock-solid foundation of TimescaleDB, we are also able to ship new features more quickly because they are UI components that make using the database even easier.

Finally, some of our "launches" are more textual in nature, such as this benchmark, which we have spent months researching and compiling.

Well, that's still an aggregated value that someone decided to calculate based on what they thought would work best for what they're looking for. It's not necessarily more a correct definition of load, just one that is more appropriately actionable for the problems it's designed for.

In other words, PSI is "better" for some definition of "better".

> ‘unnoticed incoming ICBM’ on US.

Lack of ICBM’s was assumed, but on the moment when your early warning system goes down while your preparing for an invasion it’s hard to stay rational.

The plausible scenario as to why the warning system went down is ARPA net was designed to keep military computers in contact through a nuclear attack. ARPA net became the internet but before SIPERnet and so it was still being used to keep those critical systems in contact. Hackers compromised those systems, because the military was using the same sendmail software as everyone else.

Now for us looking backwards it’s like wait what about computer security, but it largely didn’t exist back then.
A blocker to deployment would be getting building codes updated to permit use. From memory, wood was only approved for 3 story or less structures in most of the US. And building codes tend to be updated extremely slowly and conservatively.

Not everyone is on pacific time. This impacted us right in the middle of a standup call and disrupted our planning for the day.

Also, the problem is more that you don't know how long the outage is going to last at first, so you start finding other ways to occupy your time. Through the lens of hindsight, yes we are certainly being hyperbolic in those cases where it was only 30 minutes.

The report paints Egypt as the country where the actual transplantations happen.

For example, reports suggest that organ trafficking occurs in most hospitals where legal transplants are conducted in Egypt, but it is more common in private than in public
centres

...

The Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act (2010) prohibits foreign patients to receive a transplant in Egypt, unless the donor and the recipient have been married for at least three years. Despite national regulations, Egypt has been reported as a destination for wealthy organ recipients from Saudi Arabia who travel to the country to allegedly buy an organ from impoverished Egyptians.

I Was a Lifelong Vegetarian. I Decided to Taste What I Was Missing
Diet science is chaos.

What we all need is not another fad diet or fasting strategy or super food, but rather a process that looks like a flowchart so an individual can achieve certain goals. I'd be shocked if we ever found a one-size-fits-all diet, but there should be some kind of process to design a good diet specific to an individual, using feedback from measurements like weight, blood sugar, vitamin levels, energy levels and mood.

Want to lose weight? Try fasting for a month. Then stop and try calorie restriction for a month. Was one easier? Did one help you lose more weight? Make adjustments to the more effective one and keep going.

Want to have more energy? Pick a group of healthy foods eat only them for a week. Then, pick a separate group and do that for a week. Journal every day so you can make comparisons about how you feel and how much energy you have.

Wondering what foods are making you feel tired/sick? Pick a handful of vegetables and eat them for a week, then slowly add in the usual suspects that might be sapping your energy. When you find the food that's slowing you down, cut it out of your diet permanently.

Want to save money on groceries? Find the foods that are working best for you and swap out cheaper alternatives or buy in bulk.

I have no idea what the process should look like, these are just possible examples, but a process is what I want.
Not disagreeing, but I think this idea of theorists believing there are hidden patterns as an impotent attempt to impose control on a random and uncertain world falls into its own categorical/binary/blackandwhite trap that also overlooks complexity.

Someone seeing periodicity or even symmetry, fractal self simlarity, or isomorphic structure in something noisy could just as easily be accused of apophenia until they produce proof. That there is structure in the noise matters to the theorist, but to the hegemon it's unimportant, if not subversive and dangerous.

I prefer to look at it as having to do with how people relate to power and truth and how they perecieve it.
