Wacom drivers have often been a clusterfuck. And they were absurdly secretive in the earlier days of Linux about their hardware.

Generous view -- they're attempting to find combinations of software in an attempt to correlate software and their own issues.
It's generally related to the infrastructure. Like migrating Dockerfiles, Jenkins, SonarQube servers.
Not just that. DEI gives more preference to someone just because of their skin color. Lebron James or Oprah or Obama and their kids get more preference despite all of them being filthy rich. But if you are a white farmer's kid, then you are f'd.

It doesn't quite work like that. 1000 years ago Europeans (you may say) only traveled routinely within 1 continent. Today, they travel routinely to all 7 continents. You can't say in another 1000 years anyone will travel to 14 continents -- there's only so much Earth to discover :)

We can know Earth in better detail, but it's inherently limited. In the same vein, there's no guarantee we will continue to discover revolutionary engineering strategies, and certainly no guarantee of discovering (or not discovering) new physics. In fact, physics has seen a slower pace of discoveries since mid-20th century. This kind of (not necessarily justifiable) optimism is in fact quite a risk when evaluating some technologies on sustainability.
LOLWUT?

At least _try_ to understand what you are talking about before you criticize.
Your rant demonstrates your complete lack of understanding on the topic.

The, apparently, "hidden" knowledge is that Unix shells are designed to process text. And so you serialize complex data structures over FIFOs from child to parent. That can be as simple as comma/colon/whatever delimited bytestreams chopped up with awk or as complex as JSON and parsed with jq.
Sir! Yes, sir!
Yes, you need more than just a bit, but that is the case also for the article.

I was involved in a scraping-related case, though in my situation we were scraping public domain data/facts/public domain media. Email me if you'd like additional info. :)

More related to the submission content -- at the time we used rotating proxies, both in-house & external (ProxyMesh - still exists & only good things to say about it); they allowed us to "pin" multiple requests to an IP or to fetch a new IP, etc...
There are packaging differences between various JVMs. Some of these are relatively minor (explicit or optional dependencies on X11 or other libraries), others are a bigger issue (how the Java keystore integrates with paths configured for system certificates).
Nineteen Ways of Looking at Wang Wei
Some are Chinese, some are Taiwanese or Japanese. There's nothing wrong with hardware from China per-se. The local market is Windows-centric though which means drivers for other platforms often suck or don't exist. Also, mainland Chinese market tolerance for spyware/malware/general iffyness is high, which means pushback on vendor driver software bullshit is low. To sidestep this, open source can solve the bad-actor-driver issues and we can all get cheaper hardware.
I had looked into it ! but it seemed that making a DPF plug-in involved a lot of boilerplate, while I really wanted to do something where I can just include a couple headers and get going, without any particular compilation hassle (the whole library is header-only as it is pretty much entirely templates).
Seeded watermelons have gone extinct in the mass market grocers in my area. They are available (when in season locally) at the co-op I shop at, as well as at farmers markets. I'm not sure if it is the fact that they are seeded or that they may be a variety that doesn't need to travel 1000 miles that makes them taste better.
I would add a variable ENDPOINT, initialised to "" and set to " --endpoint $THEENDPOINTVALUE" if the endpoint value was passed. Then include that in every invocation?

Sorry if I missed something in the logic, reading on my phone, but from the comment, this feels like something I do frequently...
Yeah. Turns out, having an interpreted runtime in the browser is quite useful and sending bytecode across the wire not as practical.

We've been forgetting and relearning that for the past two decades.

1. it's a brain surgery

2. it's in a more space constraint place, scare tissue can force you to place "later" implants at different places, but as there is not much space there might not be alternative paces.

3. pacemaker are a "relative" simple well understood implant, you _could_ build pretty dump/"un-hackable" ones

4. theoretically what can be used to relive depression can also be used to manipulate you, like activate it less then possible normally except if you are in a shopping mall.. (well setting aside that wireless communication with a implant while possible isn't always simple). A pacemaker can "only" kill you, which always leavs the question why it didn't work even if there is no prove that it did kill you.

Also modern pacemakers are scary, too. I mean seriously you can assassinate people by hacking their pacemaker without touching them...
I explained my thesis about the pattern earlier. If your answer to that is "I don't see why I should care", well, I think it's obviously unjust, so I don't know what else there is to say. You don't have to care about every injustice I suppose?
I'd speculate that it's more likely a data corruption problem. A system was overwhelmed or misconfigured led to corruption of critical configuration data, which led to propagation of such corruption to a large number of dependencies. Roblox tried to restore its data from backup, a process that was not necessarily rehearsed regularly or rigorously therefore took longer than expected. All other services would have to restore their systems in a cascaded fashion while sorting out complex dependencies and constraints, which would take days.

Ah, so the Hunt brothers and their wild silver ride in the 1980's.
The supply and demand chart of real estate has gotten weird lately.

Tech has generated unbelievable wealth, government is racking up debt to perpetuate this endless cycle of asset inflation,
while Airbnb further defined rent-seeking all leading to rapid asset consolidation of 'real-world assets'.

I don't have any idea what the answer is, but some of the asset classes are really stressing the idea of how a market can function with constrained liquidity and unlimited appetite. One non-obvious example but tangentially demonstrative to my point is Shibu Inu coin. With 80% of the 'Coin' being either burned or controled by insiders, and use of highly leveraged instruments(100-1000x) has lead to constrained liquidity and have sent it on an absolute surge. Granted, this example falls flat because as soon as the insiders attempt to cash out on their scheme, it all comes crashing down. But the real estate market is different because we are talking about a necessity, not some autistic cybernaught dystopia coin. Constrained liquidity on a necessity that also has very long lead times and regulatory bottle necks is going to lead to a revolution.

With 20% APR's on house prices, my generation will never be able to own a home in a city. Every metric imaginable seems to point to some asymptote in the late 2040's. Every generation seems to be living in the most interesting of times, but I truly believe my generation is going to be facing something bigger.

But it's missing many. Others have already mentioned Habitat (1986). Probably one of the most important.
Reminds me of the Foucault quote

"Truly to escape Hegel involves an exact appreciation of the price we have to pay to detach ourselves from him. It assumes that we are aware of the extent to which Hegel, insidiously perhaps, is close to us; it implies a knowledge, in that which permits us to think against Hegel, of that which remains Hegelian. We have to determine the extent to which our anti-Hegelianism is possibly one of his tricks directed against us, at the end of which he stands, motionless, waiting for us"

A another engineer / not-trained philosopher I was also surprised how intuitive Hegel's ideas were when I started to read philosophy on my own, having had the idea in my head that he's not understandable at all. (Of course that's not to say he isn't actually difficult at a higher level that probably went over my head)
Reports of IT incidents from public companies tend to be obscure, vague, missing or technically true but misleading but they almost universally stop short of outright lying (mainly because for public company officers lying to shareholders i.e. the general public has harsher personal risks&consequences than the company losing lots of money or even shutting down; being incompetent is completely legal but lying to your shareholders about material aspects of company finances is a crime and also makes them personally financially liable), so if they say that they have seen no evidence of an external intrusion, then I would presume that it's definitely not ransomware, where signs of external intrusion - namely, the ransom demand - would be obvious and undeniable.

Perhaps (though IMHO not that likely) it may be some other kind of attack e.g. one intended to secretly steal customer data, which does not give signs of external intrusion if the company doesn't look for them much (and it might have motivation to not look very hard), but if it was ransomware, I'm quite sure they would not say what they said.
How might such a wager be settled in this stream of reality? It can't entirely, but we could look for patterns in historically flagged and killed posts. Is there a link where we can see what ideas are not suitable for individual consideration by HN subscribers? Such a list would be interesting, as would the lack of existence of such a list.
I may be wrong but I think being able to "downvote" may be tied to a minimum "karma" points. I don't know what that minimum is though. I know I'm a real person and I can downvote.

I'm sure it's fair to say I get more downvotes than I give and give way more upvotes than downvotes.
It's possible, but that'd be a theory entirely founded in paranoia, as it both needs no evidence (we have no sign it's an attack) and accepts no counter-evidence (they have said it is not an attack).

So while it's always a possibility, it's also kinda pointless to wonder about until there's supporting evidence.
Mackay's point is that you could get through the confusion relatively quickly, and showing in principle how to evaluate and fight the problem. I don't think it was meant as a final solution -- just to show that it was feasible, and approachable as a problem. Without getting into politics or ideology.

I got a quite good intuitive sense of the scales involved, and at least for me Solar clearly reveals itself as an outstanding source of energy (at say 150W/m2).

Standard Hegel joke, last seen from Nicholas Gruen on twitter: a man broke into my car which had two volumes of Hegel on the back seat, now I have four volumes.
> but no examples of what it's like to consume those objects.

I'm not sure I understand: the whole idea is that since the objects are just C++ structs, to "consume" them from some C++ program would just mean including the file and using it.

Otherwise, if you want to know how you can do similar reflection on it (for instance to generate an UI from any of those processor) the simplest example is the python binding, the meat of it fits in ~100 lines of code:

https://github.com/celtera/avendish/blob/main/src/python/pro...

if that is what you mean, then yeah what I plan to do is to write some documentation to explain the techniques and reflection API

I one tried using my wife's Wacom tablet on my office Mac. It kept prompting me to allow it record keystrokes from all applications. Naturally I didn't allow it. It didn't work but then the spyware was quite difficult and and hard to remove. I was shocked.
I would say it falls into the:

"With grate abuse potential comes grate responsibility to make sure it's not abused." category.

An let's be honest if I would be really deeply stuck in serve depression and the only way way out is to (in a dystopian future) give partial control over my mental state and as such live to a coperation, I probably still would do it. Because being able to live a live which is only partially my live is still better then just being alive instead of living.
I used to be a negative and cynical person, but lowering my stress gave me a more positive attitude. I accomplished this by getting a lower stress job, recalibrating what I wanted out of life (time and relaxation instead of money and promotions) and also at times taking an SSRI.

It's time to cash out by introducing a paid proprietary cloud. Or else, how are they going to earn those $10m back?

Reading the announcement strongly reminds me of Docker, and it seems they haven't really been able to convert their popularity to revenue yet.
This would probably be the case for any language when the script is generated.
By the person doing the valuation. There's no certainty, it's an expected value of the assumed probability distribution, which is why each cash flow is discounted - because it's not certain.

Yes, valuation is about predicting future profits which depends on what people will buy etc. For example, I predict that people will continue to buy Coca-Cola in roughly the same volumes as they do today.

I don't believe there are any commercial features left in Java 17. The last thing that required a flag to unlock commercial features was Java Flight Recorder, and that's now part of OpenJDK, the "-XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures" is now gone completely from their documentation.
Great article! I was wondering if you could add an extra section on why Async will make the @counter error go away. I'm new to Async and Threads in general and the rest of the article was super easy to follow but I didn't quite understand why or how that error would disappear.

Lamborghini from time to time apparently donates a few vehicles for service - to be used as an alternative to helicopters when feasible.

Young people are exactly the demographic that less probably will want to remain in the remote corners of the territory, with probably less service than one drugstore and a church - those places in which more easily these special properties are for sale.
There are so many non-substantive comments in this thread and you chose this one. Stop tone policing.
Well the thing is, it’s really hard to define what “spyware” is from a legal sense. For example anti-malware software is highly invasive by definition.

It seems the real problem is consent… There should be a “nutrition facts” for software that is enforced at the OS level through an aggressive permissions model and backed by a privately run app stores subject to audit by government regulators.
Art is many things, like collectible or something to enjoy.

Doing this mixing you kill the collectible value, but leave the value of art untouched.

Of course, many modern art pieces are perceived to have no artistic value, unless you know the origin.
If a mystical religious artifact magically appeared that was measured to statistically make me less likely to fall sick, I might go worship there too. That is sort of the point of science: finding whatever works best, whether that be my amulet, president Trump, or some chemical mixture. My definition of healthy is “less likely to become ill”. So far, and looking past any rhetoric, I have yet to find a source that shows vaccination to be more likely to cause illness, usually being a couple orders of magnitude safer. Do you have a source for me?

Yes, but everything has a cost. That isn’t a myth, just economics. That doesn’t mean costs are bad.
In life and running a team, negativity is a limiter. If you don’t believe in or are positive about what you’re working on, why should anyone else be?

And if you truly are negative or pessimistic about something, sit with that for a minute and try to figure out why you’re negative. And then work on those areas to make it more likely to succeed.

> Like most living things, plants breathe in O2 and breathe out CO2 (in addition to photosynthesis which does the opposite).

At what "level" does this happen? Is it similar to an animal with a diaphragm centralizing the intake of oxygen and lungs centralizing distribution to every part of the animal, or more along the lines of cells that are exposed to the air taking in oxygen locally and using it for their own needs?

Hmm maybe I will if I have time. We've been using this technique for user-initiated scraping. The only issue we've run in to is we get rate-limited by IP sometimes. Changing the IP has solved the problem each time.
Then we need to build more housing to meet demand.

> but we've made a deal with the devil where home equity and housing appreciation are major stores of wealth for the middle class. Letting the investor class corner this market feels like kicking out the ladder for anyone not already on it.

But it's not the "investor class" that's cornering the market, it's current homeowners. Housing prices are going up due to a limited supply, something that many current homeowners actively fight for
I want to believe that we have the technology available to make subsistence farming, water treatment and power generation available to huge numbers of people. The key factor to this is keeping the benefits of the internet, while moving away from the main body of society. I have hope that starlink or another technology will make this possible within my lifetime.
In 1990 the house next door (Bloor West Village, Toronto) sold for 500k. A year later it was worth somewhere between 250-275k. It took all the way to 2005 for it to sell again for 500k. It sold again a few months ago (after a shitty reno) for almost 2 million, It almost doubled in value from what I can recall over the last 2 years. The new owner is a holding company based out of Vancouver. It is sitting empty from what I can tell with the odd visitor every few of weeks.

I have seen Condo's double in price over a period of about 6-8 months Between Oct 2019 to about May/June of 2020) and then go up another 50% after that. House prices are going up over $1k a week and even land that has a road allowance but no road or utilities in Northern Ontario (Muskoka) has gone up over 100 % in the first few months of 2020.

My guess is Toronto real estate will easily double over the next 5 years. The Federal Government and BoC will never be able to raise interest rates meaningfully without collapsing the entire economy. Young Canadians will have nothing but the yoke of debt around their necks and live hand to mouth.
Interesting perspective, but Slavoj Žižek is one of the most influential contemporary philosophers and also a Hegelian.
This is the pipe mill[1] pattern. As you say, you can use it to mimic function composition from a functional paradigm. It can make for some elegant solutions to dealing with streams of data.

The issue is that pipe mills are very slow.

$ mill() { while read -r line; do echo $line; done }
$ export FIVE_MEGS=$(( 5 * 1024 ** 2 ))

$ time yes | mill | pv -S -s "$FIVE_MEGS" > /dev/null

real 0m23.084s

sys 0m26.780s

$ time yes | pv -S -s "$FIVE_MEGS" > /dev/null

Even Python loops are faster.

Does it have walls at least?
I had an application where being able to write a customized aggregation function (like SUM, MAX, etc. but your own function) would have been a huge help, but unfortunately the database was an RDS MySQL instance where that is impossible. MySQL requires those functions to be written in C, which RDS doesn't allow (you can do it with self-hosted MySQL of course). There was once a version of MariaDB that allowed writing those functions in Javascript, which would have been fine, but I don't think it was ever released.

Being able to write ordinary mathematical functions (UDF's, user defined functions) can also be a big help. I remember doing some completely crazy stuff to do those entirely with MySQL builtins, because again, loading C functions wasn't permitted in RDS.
