There are companies which offer such tours to Kazakhstan. They drop you off in complete wilderness, no other living soul in the radius of 500km.
They give you all the gear/food/ammo, a bunch of coordinates with supplies pre-cached, a Thuraya satellite phone in case you decide to give up midway.

It costs a fortune, though.

A lot of the new http bugs aren’t caused by ambiguities in http1 headers, or ambiguities in http2 headers. They happen when an http2 message gets rewritten into http1 and “valid” http header characters (like new lines) show up as header separators in http1.

The problem isn’t that we don’t have a good header format. The problem is we have too many.
But this is a physics paper, that isn't how you use uppercase delta in physics. It is just a range. In physics however you do a ton of approximations all the time in ways mathematicians hate (you don't care about errors smaller than you can measure), so uppercase delta is often approximated with derivatives etc, but it isn't a derivative. Math in physics is way more practical and uses very different techniques than math in math, often because physicists invented the math first and mathematicians later went and formalized it.

I just got an email about a 20% off sale they're having, and I was tempted. Still expensive, though, seeing as how there's so many new ergonomic designs available from smaller companies.
Ok I guess now is the time and place to complain to whomever cares about toaster design. Why is it that the metal grid that holds the bread has its bars so wide apart ? I don't toast only industrial square bread, I happen to regularly toast good state of the art european bakery bread that have very different slice sizes. It is maddenig to have your slice slip trhough the metal bars and prevent the toaster from going up or having to go fishing for your slice with whatever tool you think fit for the job, in 2021. Is my use case that specific ? I have been looking for a toaster with a tight grid bread holder but could not find one so far. Please help.
One of the best things I figured out that at least in the last 70 years or so ago it's pretty easy to find the "first" or foundational paper for a particular construct where they have to explain their notation for the first reader or they have the vibe of working with the new idea in the raw rather than 40 years later where it is matured. One example I use for this is hamming codes where some of the recent examples or explanations don't build it from first principles, but the original articles do explain it very clearly.
Some of the very recently upgraded batteries in standard emacs include describe-bindings (C-h b gives a neatly organized, foldable output that greatly enhances discoverability) and emoji-insert that uses a neat selection interface.
I don't think that dishwashers and related appliances are fragile or that they are too hard to repair. It's just that the brand new manufacturing cost has become so insanely cheap while human labor has become extremely expensive. So when the dishwasher finally craps out, it just isn't worth paying someone to crack it open and fix it.

Hobbyists are able to fix almost anything when they do it for fun in their free time as long as DRM isn't involved. It just isn't something that scales or can make a profit.

One mutation can be enough, if its the right mutation.

Basic logic only helps if you start with accurate premises, which having an understanding of the relevant biology helps a lot with. Otherwise, you end up with GIGO.

From my observations supporters of current government was saying exactly the same thing before this government was elected.
There's currently no real information to consume about whatever's happening. I understand not wanting to create drama and/or assign blame, but these public announcements aren't helpful communication. There's no real information to extract from them, so the only reasonable thing to do is ignore them until the core/mod team wants to actually tell us something.
RHEL running with SELinux enabled has been a thing since I worked at Red Hat 12 years ago, and Amazon Linux 2 was based on a CentOS upstream that had the capability of running in that way. All certification had to happen with SELinux enabled, and any distro provided service was setup to run with full restrictions, and it was the default on for all Professional Services work.

However it became a problem once you used 3rd party software as step 1 of most install guides was to disable SELinux.
I feel like web 1 & 2 was really about sharing things. Newsgroups and forums.
Then videos and social media.

However 'web3' seems the opposite. Decentralization is touted as a feature, because we cannot place our trust in other people. NFT hype is all about 'claiming' ownership over something. Where is the sharing and community?

For these reasons I do not think it is something interesting.
I'm thankful for mitochondria which allows us to use the oxygen to perform aerobic respiration, enabling more complex forms of life. It seems they were once bacteria which were somehow absorbed by eukaryote cells and turned into an organelle, an hydro-eletro-chemical power plant. Thanks bacteria!
And then is it even worth thinking about which toaster will last 50 years vs 10 years when the price may as well be free for how cheap they are.

It seems like viruses always tread a spectrum between infectivity and lethality. Does or could a virus exist which:

- has a 100% fatality rate, like rabies

- can keep the host alive long enough to spread and

- cannot be defeated by any prospective vaccine or can evolve fast enough to evade them?

Basically, airborne and human-to-human rabies, with no vaccine. Or vaccine resistant ebola, but even more lethal, infectious, and a longer incubation period.

Put more concisely, could a virus exist with the potential to wipe us out.
A good read on this is “Contrarian Doctors: The Pandemic is Over, Again”.

See: https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-pandemic-is-over-again/

I knew that the pandemic was far from over with in the US even with the mass vaccination campaign being declared mostly a success this summer.

On a worldwide scale, given the rates plus the raw numbers in locales plus mobility within borders along with people crossing borders...it simply did not add up.

Plus, Americans are a very polarized group of people. (I say this as an American citizen living abroad who is also culturally American and has lived there the vast majority of her life.). Some counties in the United States had 25-30% vaccination rates at best right before the fall season. (I have not recently checked.)

But, I do recall reading that the US created a model (which of course is frequently being updated) for coronavirus spike protein mutations that would predict when the virus was statistically likely to evolve in such a way. I think it was a DARPA funded program or something like that. So, it’s not like this new “big news” came out of nowhere.

But, what is going on in the ascribed South African province in the above linked Tweet is unlikely to just be random coincidence. First, it is South Africa’s most populated province at around 15 million people. Second, it’s nearly summer in South Africa and it’s been hot there. Overall, we need people to investigate and for people to stop transmitting things that are not covered well and balanced, making many of us susceptible to confirmation bias.

But, stopping virus transmission altogether should have been our goal worldwide. Very few countries have succeeded. Yes, the WHO failed but so did the vast majority of the world’s countries.

See: Covid pandemic was preventable, says WHO-commissioned report: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/may/12/covid-pandemic...
People are reluctant to get booster jabs because 2 jabs was suppose to be enough and healthy sportsmen and women seem to be dropping like flies with heart attacks.

and now a new ultra fast spreading vaccine resistant variant for the media to get people to stay indoors and lockdown.

I've had the jab. I need it for travel but people are at a tipping point right now. Peoples trust in the media is shot.
How was this discovered and do we know how long it was in this state?
It would be an interesting experiment to have one group do that before teaching both groups to touch type. Then measure the speed and accuracy of both groups.
I.personally avoid "Shiny Language" developers.
Yes, but I often work with different keyboards. The place I live has a couple of different stupid local variations, and then if I have an Anglosphere keyboard it's 50-50 between UK and US. Sometimes I change the "layout" and type as if I'm on a different keyboard, but usually the keys don't even physically match up. Then there are different types of keyboard, from super-compact to full numpad monsters and from chiclet to hefty mechanical, and then there's my shitty touchscreen phone.

I'd love to be able to type from muscle memory, but the keyboards keep changing!
6 months before Black Friday last year was at the height of the first Covid panic featuring regional shortages of food staples, toilet paper, etc... So I would think not.
That's probably illegal (depending on region). I'd consider reporting it.
It's been covered in the media that TSMC loans its employees to Apple. You can also tell that Apple's fingerprints are on TSMC's leading edge node processes because products using it clock lower and consume lower power than comparable Intel processes. Also, to my knowledge, TSMC doesn't particularly stand out in semiconductor sub-fields where Apple doesn't play, such as III-V, embedded memory, and photonics. They are definitely at risk of getting disrupted in these areas.

> how do you scan all the DNS records with their subdomains?

You needn't do this for stuff that would work in these "Hijack" situations.

Your target is any link that gets visited, maybe following a bookmark somebody made in 2018, maybe it's linked from some page that was never updated, maybe it's in an email somebody archived. If you're phishing you have one set of preferences, if you're doing SEO you have different preferences (you want crawlers to see it but not too many humans).

When anything follows that link, a DNS lookup happens. Most of the world's DNS queries and answers (not who asked, but what is looked up and the answer) are sold in bulk as "passive DNS". You buy a passive DNS feed from one of a handful of big suppliers, or if you're cheap you hijack somebody with money's feed.

So, you're working from a pile like:

www.google.com A 142.250.200.4
www.bigbank.com CNAME www1.bigbank.com
www1.bigbank.com A 10.20.30.40
charts.dft.gov.uk CNAME charts.dft.gov.uk.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com

Obviously you can grep out all those S3 buckets and then you ask S3, hey, does charts.dft.gov.uk exist? And it says of course not, so you create charts.dft.gov.uk as an S3 bucket and you win.
> So far, the threat B.1.1.529 poses beyond South Africa is far from clear, researchers say. It is unclear whether the variant is more transmissible than Delta

this is danger porn. pay it no mind and have happy holidays.
How does anything I said imply they are "all idiots". Quite the opposite, the other guy's argument demonstrates that they had zero need to go to a new process because they were going to do well regardless.

nvidia is currently selling very low power control boards for robotics, computer vision, drones, cars, etc, built on 12nm. There simply was no compelling reason for them to have a higher BoM to go smaller, and they had proven existing designs. There is a world of excess 10nm fab capacity, and you can sign up for 7nm all day long. Nope. Because what random blowhards say on HN has little correlation with fact.
I'm thankful for wikipedia which has probably taught me more biology than my professors ever did. So many detailed articles, and it's actually fun to read them because they contain so many details that never seem to get mentioned in school. The abundance of links lead to a fun exploration of the subject and a massive respect for nature and its designs.
sorry off topic, but what in the world is your last idiom there referring to? is there something i don’t know about art grants and the underground primate market?

(while i’m asking, why is everything in the future so heavy?)
It depends on location, I doubt some shop or restaurant worker will bother to scan your paper and upload it to the government. QR code scanning should work without Internet I bet if you (the group that thinks it is a conspiracy not you personally) could just disassemble the Android app and see exactly what it sends and to who.
That's an interesting story. Thanks for sharing. Good luck in your future endeavors.
Because not everyone has time to dedicate to a skill with diminishing returns after a certain point, and on top of that many people do not at all care about the life of their keyboard.

I touch-type, but still occasionally struggle with some things eg. using the right shift key instead of always preferring the left. I don't see much benefit in addressing this, since my typing speed is never the blocker with regard to my programming output.
In Western nations, people in that situation may join some weird cults instead.
That was a rather flawed EU constitution document, not an attempt at federation. One could still have a federation with a sane constitution. (not saying one should, but it's entirely plausible)

I'm not sure I understand - that was the official position at the time, not a 'hot take' on Twitter. The problem with experts getting it wrong is experts getting it wrong, not the unfiltered fire hose that is Twitter.

Edit: To clarify this is not a judgement on experts getting things wrong. Experts can't know everything.
This is true, but people focusing on only these benefits often miss the fact that they still have to update the image contents and re-deploy as soon as security patches are available.

This is like updating the direct dependencies of your service itself (e.g. cargo audit -> cargo update) but anecdotally I'm seeing many people neglect the image and sometimes even pin specific versions and miss potential updates even when they do later rebuild it.

We take unattended upgrades for granted on Debian-based servers, and that will likely help the Docker host system, but I'm not aware of anything nearly as automated for rebuilding and redeploying the images themselves.

It could be part of your CI/CD pipeline but that in itself is a lot of extra setup and must not be neglected, and it must make sense, e.g. pin in a way that will still pick up security patches and have a dependency audit as part of CI/CD to report when the patching hasn't been enough (e.g. due to semver constraints).
Thats true in popular disource, but there are like 20 different forms of unfair competition, ranging from collusion to dumping.

I don't have the nessesary background to know which one is applicable, but I think monopoly is not the right one.
> healthy sportsmen and women seem to be dropping like flies

Just to avoid perpetuating a potential bias: can you provide numbers on this? And then if you can, provide the number per 100k of unvaccinated COVID deaths in their areas for their age
Ah, I hadn't grasped your irony. I heard it suggested somewhat seriously recently, which miffed me a bit. Lockdowns were probably the least awful option in early 2020, but as you know it doesn't make them a great idea now.
I'm curious, why put prices back? Why not leave it at elevated levels?
I've also been thinking about a time-travel themed spin off to this idea. Imagine you were sent back in time some thousands of years, to a random location on Earth, and you had to communicate (via some fictional device) to a referee in the present day, telling them where you are, and when you are, in order to be "rescued"/win.

Largely it would be the same challenge as the present day version, except you couldn't use vehicles (except riding horses/camels), and you'd have to navigate using only information that would have been visible at that time, like mountains, rivers, and long-lasting settlements.

To enforce this fiction, the players could receive information from a team mate that had access to a 3D model of their location as it would have looked in the relevant historic time period. That team mate would then be able to instruct them which direction to walk in, and which geographical features to follow.

Every night, players would try to observe the location of the moon and planets relative to constellations, in order to calculate which century, year, month and approximate day they are in. Of course, the players on the ground would know the answer, but would have to show how they worked it out, and their team mate would have to perform the same in a 3D model which uses a planetarium system for rendering the night sky of the intended period.

To accurately determine their location without cheating, the player on the ground would have to find their way to a location which existed at the time, and whose exact position is known in the present day, such as the Parthenon or Stone Henge.
Yeah, but this thread has a title that's comprehensible for humans.
Sure there is, read these and you will understand most math papers people here struggle with: https://mathblog.com/mathematics-books/

Of course you still wont be able to understand most math papers written by pure mathematicians, but it should be fine for whatever you need in CS. I know all the topics on that page, it is just a very fleshed out math major.
Maybe it’s a personal quirk but all of my shell scripts have a shebang (#!) header anyway.

I’ve used fish as my shell for years and still have so far never written any shell scripts in fish. It may also be a nice scripting language, but I personally use it because it’s a fantastic interactive shell.

I checked that example in TS playground and it does nothing when transpiling, so is only a compile type check. From my experience when I have an option object with many properties I would create a class both in PHP and JavaScript, usually functions that need an options object are very complex and many times you need to add even more options and having a class make it simple to do the changes and refactor.
Ehh - the majority of times I've seen researchers claim this, the variant has turned out to be more transmissible than other variants. Researchers seem to have a track record of being really hesitant to rule out founder effects and acknowledge higher transmissibility even when a variant is clearly spreading faster than its competition.

Yes, and considering the google office, that percentage is a lot lower currently.
No, human behavior enables things like the Laffer curve to be defined and held up like a shiny bauble by a politically motivated half-wit.

Laffer has never had and never will have anything to do with pre-existing human behavior itself.

He never defined any of the math objects he used. As far as I can see he’s not invented any net new value, he translated English economic babble into math. It’s elementary abstraction by today’s standards. Since most people could barely balance a checkbook in his day, he’s a genius for life.
