Hackers Are Breaking into Cloud Accounts to Mine Crypto
There's also a "big omega", which gives a lower bound instead of an upper bound. I guess the name is a little redundant, though.
Seems a bit odd to kick down like that - I'd be more inclined to assume it's accidental rather than naive, given the experience level of the author.
>By 2001 Linux had, for all intents and purposes, caught up with the commercial UNIXes.

And even before, FVWM+RXVT ran circles around Solaris and CDE with most of the software being ported over: GCC, MESA, TCL, TK, commercial SGI tools...

I know, I know, those tools and WM's already run everywhere, but most of the progress was on cheap X86 machines with limited RAM so many people even repurposed 486's with EvilWM, and lots of people were browsing the web with just Links/Lynx and the former 486.

Honestly, I do. I'm that broke. For instance, there are a couple of subscriptions I would take out that are on great sales for Black Friday, but only on their Yearly Payment options, which I can't afford in one lump sum, so I have to continue paying the monthly fees.
I'm young. Remote work is a lot more convenient for me, but it is essentially impossible to build meaningful relationships when all your coworkers are nothing more than a Slack pfp.

And being unable to build meaningful relationships makes it harder to grow a career.
> Vaccinated individuals have zero business being required to wear masks. They’ve done their part and should be able to return to a fully normal life.

Masks help prevent you from spreading the virus to other. As a vaccinated individual, you are highly unlikely to have serious illness from CV19, but you can still get it and spread it to others, even if you are only mildly symptomatic.

And this is based on data from the prior variants. Who knows how things are with Omicron - we need more data.

>Humans are meant to see faces.

Humans are/aren't meant to do X is a bad argument. We have made all sorts of behavioral changes over our time as a species. We adapt. I like having cars, and planes, and an industrialized society. But humans weren't "meant" to do any of that, until we did. All of these things have real, serious, drawbacks. But the overwhelming majority of people would agree that having these things is better than not having them.

If the new normal is to have a deadly and highly transmissible disease with us from now until forever, then yes, masks should also be the new normal. I don't think that's the case - the stakes and motivation for figuring out alternatives is quite high - but if it is, then, well, it's better than the alternative.

Last mile from the port should all have destinations for the containers, so I'm not convinced that's the issue?

Ask HN: What is your recommended path for getting into freelancing?
tldr: what is your best advice for a competitive programmer wanting to start freelancing (possibly taking it as a full time job even)?

I am a computer science student with a long history of programming and mathematics competitions. I believe I am proficient enough for real life projects and I would like to try my luck with freelancing (I also fancy the freelancing lifestyle, being free and all).

A quick search on Google lead me to platforms such as upwork, freelancer, fiverr, and others. They seem to be too full of spam, however (students asking for homework and tests and similar). I had the feeling that toptal could provide a more serious atmosphere, but my application was refused because I had less than two years of experience.

It seems to me that the freelancing platforms are very hard to penetrate for a student with no work experience. What advice can you give for a person in my situation?

Thanks everyone
amazing how in many places the cases start dropping the instant the lockdown comes into place, or sometimes even slightly before, rather than ~10 days afterwards as would be expected from the incubation period. can the virus hear us?
> Those projects are doomed

Based on my experience those projects are 99% of all projects in commercial organizations. So, emphatically no.
1) $50/TB is not insane pricing relatively. I used to pay something like $3/GB (way back) which would be $3,000/TB. There are still plenty of folks charging high rates.

2) $50/TB may not be a big part of some customers bills. If it is on cloudfront you drop to 0.02/GB or $20/TB for larger volumes.

3) AWS doesn't charge separately for some services that wrap around networking. Their nitro instances have a pretty good networking story.

4) Especially with this new free tier on cloudfront, a fair number of users will never hit 1TB per month (free) data.
How is it not an answer?
Indeed, and static type analysis is the single biggest feature I'd like Julia to add first class support for.
Dude, Seattle has spent billions on light rail and it really works well. Are you on the east side? Decent progress has been made on transit oriented apartments too.

I agree traffic is oddly bad during the pandemic, but we have solutions, more transit, protected bike lanes, and apartments near light rail and buslines.
You're missing the point. They got vaccinated but the certificate has errors.
Mine is still going usefully for me, albeit with High Sierra. For most tasks, it's performance is on-par with my 2019 MacBook Pro - which I suspect comes down to thermals more than anything.

A lot of what I use it for is just headlessly running FFmpeg over ssh.

I'm an avid collector of Japanese chef knives. They are not only beautiful but design of each of the distinct blade shapes have been honed over hundreds of years for usability. Using a knife for the job it was designed for is a very pleasurable experience.
I have not. I’m a gadget guy so I’m always wanting to buy a new X. My laptop? 2013 MacBook Air! All the ports they showcase on the new laptop are right there. MagSafe is awesome. Has well i5 honestly is pretty great. Runs Linux like a champ. User replaceable battery. You would think 4gb makes it unusable but a light arch install with plasma screams on it. It’s intel everything so their drivers are top notch.

Current apple stuff is crap. That laptop is a piece of art.

Aren't retailers still paying for licenses? Or there's some easier way to get keys as a business?

I noticed even shops that sell refurbished computers will shove Windows 10 into them, I always thought it was around 10-20 bucks for a license, so that later they can charge us 90-100 for a computer with windows...
Why does it have to be easy?
That's not the kind of robot you need to handle containers in a terminal. Terminals don't open the containers up. They move the whole container from the ship to a stack, and from the stack to the onward transit (truck, trains, barges)

The kind of equipment suitable for this job doesn't look like a droid. If you don't know what you are looking at you would mistake them for a crane, because technically that's what they are. Search for automated rubber tired gantries[1], or automated rail mounted gantries.

Port automation is a fascinating subject. The equipment is huge, so it is very expensive. It's not like you just order a crane from Amazon and it's delivered by the next day. Just figuring out how they get to your port from the manufacturer is an operation in itself. (Here is a time lapse of the Port of Houston unloading their new RTGs [2])

Then you have the problem of integrating them into your software infra. Sure the crane can pick up any container from the pile and put them down anywhere, but to be efficient you try to minimise wasted movements. If a truck comes in for a container and your automated cranes needs to dig it out from the bottom of the stack you just wasted a lot of time. The best case is when all the operations are integrated such that the terminal operating system (TOS) knows before the container is unloaded from the ship when and where will it be needed next. That way they can optimise where they place it to minimise double handling. Here is a good video which shows all the moving parts of the full system, software and hardware: [3]

And then let's not even talk about labour issues. Understandably longshoreman don't like to assist in replacing themselves if they can help it. If you have a working port
and you want to slowly transform it into an automated one, you will probably encounter friction. Best case you win the hearts and minds of your existing workforce over, but if you don't do this very carefully your whole operation might screech to a halt. It is often simpler to build a new automated terminal from the ground up than to try to do knee surgery on a running giraffe.

Why? What was the reasoning?
It doesn't end until you make it end. When I close my laptop, I am unaware there is even anything going on; I don't wear a mask, I am unvaccinated, and I am fortunate enough to live in a place where people largely behave in this same way. My life is 100% the same as it was 3 years ago.

If you're restricting your own behavior, stop. If you're being restricted by third parties, seriously consider moving or outright disobeying. This doesn't end until people (not politicians) make it end.
You apple users can help me remember this. I was helping out someone with a macbook maybe 15 years ago, and noticed in the printer configuration apple trying to sell me printer cartridges. What was that model? Did apple make cartridges at some point?

Just recently I was given an iPad during the pandemic, and noticed the native "books" app constantly pushing a "reading now" view advertising ebooks, etc. I switch it to the library. Restart the app a couple times, I'm back in the "reading now" view. Is there a setting I'm missing, short of airplane mode? Because if not, I don't know how you apple users deal with this money-grubbing bs.
I have to disagree - I ported v6 and v7 (and system III/V/etc ) - at the time we called them 'MMU's - we distinguished between a a pdp11 "base and bounds" MMU a "SUN style" SRAM based MMU (with fixed pages loaded at context switch time), a 68451 (which had power of 2 region mappings loaded at context switch time) - and full paging MMUs (vax, PMMUs, the RISC chips witrh software replacement when they came out)

But we called all of these "MMUs"
Yes - that's exactly what I said. I'm not sure where you think you disagree. The point of fish is that configuration isn't allowed. I, personally, don't use it.
I have had the opposite experience with python, the more I use it and learn the standard library and ecosystem the more I love it. What exactly makes you think its a bad language?

For me I think the packaging ecosystem is bad, we need one package management tool like poetry built in. We need a built in typing system like typescript. Lastly we need to remove the GIL.

I’m pretty sure all of these are currently being addressed by the community.

I switch languages a lot and things like functools, itertools, dunder methods, list comprehensions, dict comprehensions are things I sorely miss especially in typescript. In particular list and dict comprehensions when used with care are a great deal easier to work with and reason about when transforming data.

"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people"
I wonder if I can nerdsnipe anyone into figuring out the fewest BGP hijacks it would take to force traffic on the Internet from the West Coast of the US to take the long way around to the East Coast of the US. Never mind the latency, that pipe isn't big enough for all of that traffic, so it'll effectively be a netsplit.

I bet it's a lower number than anyone's actually comfortable with, though it would be rather difficult to pull of.
I'm getting paid €35k here, for a robotics position that's more senior than junior at this point. Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark tend to have slightly higher wages but the rest of us get paid jack shit.

In the US you could pull in $100k or $120k easily. But then you'd have to live in the US, which is a major downside to be sure.
My Roku 3 is great. I bought it years ago and am still using it on my 1080p TVs. It just works, even behind a Pi-Hole ad blocking DNS server. It may crash once or twice a year (but then auto-reboot itself) and very rarely do I ever have to manually reboot it.
The old are more reliable voters, while the youngest aren't even permitted to vote (even though they have more at stake, since they will have to live with the consequences longer.)
That's not an uncommon clause in terms of service; IRC servers tend to be DDoS magnets. Other common nonos are game servers and streaming hosts.

Hosting is one of those things you really ought to spend 10 minutes reading and find out what you are and are not allowed to do. It's basic due dilligence when you're renting someone else's hardware and bandwidth.

Where older and more venerable people being vaccinated early? They still are more likely to die if infected. Then a spread of vaccination to the general population. You would have to look at a breakdown of who was vaccinated at the time you saw the lower vaccine benefit.
It's possible that mRNA would reduce the time to the market, which would give use more time to gather data and have better predictions of dominant strains.
Great collection! Thanks for sharing
> I.e. there is a version of COVID where we have tamed its lethality to the point where it's a shadow of its former self.

We have that today.
>But are they doing that selflessly and out of charity, or are they biking for the exercise, car pooling/public transport to save money? In other words, doing those measures out of selfish reasons.

Many behaviors considered positive for society are encouraged by appealing to self interest. Various tax credits (EV tax rebates come to mind), appeals to health and cost reduction (bicycling, walking, car pooling/public transport, etc.) and many other areas where a change in behavior is considered a "public good" are encouraged by benefits (or punishment -- tickets for not wearing a seat belt, drunk driving, etc.) that appeal to an individual's selfish interests.

As such, why does it matter if societally net-positive things are being done for selfish or altruistic reasons, as long as people do them?
Brazilian?
I think they were referring to large parts of the US _not_ requiring vaccinations and/or tests.
I know what you mean. I especially dislike the use of an "end" keyword everywhere without a corresponding "begin" keyword.
Another crazy idiot single issue person who think companies have souls, fear punishment and are coherent :D

Dude if you re sad you re paid a dollar too short in a warehouse, bullshitting about infra boycott will accomplish nothing, or at best, punish aws for something they cant control.

Build a competitor if it s so easy to do the warehousing ethically, and you might even end up having amazon contract you if you re brilliant and cheap.
This looks like a great little project, but fails the/my litmus test for use in a professional setting as it has zero tests. What protects this tiny component from regressions? `demo.js` doesn't seem to be sufficient.
Here's an attempt at a summary of this article:

· Became dominant strain in South Africa in like a week (way faster than Delta). Must be either a superspreader event, much more transmissible, or much more evasive of antibodies.

· No real data on that cause, and no evidence for increased lethality. Will find out in next 1-2 weeks probably. Decent chance this becomes dominant worldwide and US soon, but not clear if that will be a problem or not.

· The one worrying data we know is the variant has a lot more mutations than other variants, which would make it likely to evade vaccine/antibody treatments – but not necessarily the other kinds of treatments.

· WHO not recommending countries to limit travel. Also problematic that vaccines aren't updating for new variants, and good chance FDA will be the bottleneck there.
Regarding climate:

Carbon intensive manufacturing stays Carbon intensive if automated. You only allow humans to do another thing. Not trying to be offensive.

Having said that, I think you can make the greatest impact by trying to influence politics to step up the gears - a lot.
Yes, you aren't a politician. But Greta Thunberg is neither. Still she mobilized masses of people which certainly had a lot of influence on politics.
There is selective pressure, and in fact more than for a normal person! It is coming from them being treated with some kind of antibody treatment (e.g. convalescent plasma) but not to a level that would actually cure them.

Perfectly designed for the task and good-looking too.
The Scrooge McDuck from the Ducktales remake (which I heartily recommend watching; it's a wonderfully funny cartoon for adults that pokes fun at plenty of adult things including silicon valley and mark zuckerberg) actually talks a bit about making money the smart way rather than being a penny-pincher. Which is a nice departure from the old persona.
I have a w540 which I think is compatible with t440. The thinkpad has more oomph but lacks in lightness and MagSafe which honestly I love.

Win10 honestly isn’t that bad! I have to use it for work. That and wsl is great. But for personal use I would never use windows. Any reason for personal use you need to use it? To me Linux is easier and better. I have 3 kids who I made their computer which runs arch and them and their mother now complain when the computer is not an arch/plasma computer.

Linux at least today and with a simple distribution like arch is very user friendly.
So it wasn't a Muslim ban then?
There are some pretty successful startups like Wolt recently, but they inevitably get bought out and taken over by american captial. So there is nothing because as soon as it becomes something it's no longer ours lmao.
No, the fatality rate has. Unhappily, every safety advance seems to lead to an increase in crashes IIRC. Which sounds about like how we in the US approach COVID too.
This is the epitome of Software as a Service. SaaS is a race to the bottom every country and every corporation has been fighting so hard for.

Eventually it'll all be bottom.
It's just specified in a manifest file in a specific location on Linux or referenced in a registry key on windows, so sure, if you already have malware running on your computer I suppose it could do that (assuming the messages sent by the extension contain browsing data) but there would probably be easier ways for it to collect your data.
> the CLR runtime looks frankly minor league when compared to the JVM.

This is comically backwards from my experience. I often see near-native optimized performance on C#/CLR, where I see similar code (SIMD friendly loops) literally hundreds if not thousands of times slower than it should be in Java.
Someone wanting to promote a new language could wrap Python as a growth hack.
P-code is essentially the same idea as AS/400 machine-independent code, and it didn't really work well on early machines because optimizing it to efficient binary/machine code, even AOT, was infeasible back then. It took time for compiler to become good enough.

As for handling "the abstraction between memory and storage", that's what memory mapped files are essentially. It's being done routinely in modern systems.
I would say the almost every version of Julia 1.x has better in terms of code startup.

as in 1.7 > 1.6 > 1.5 > 1.4 > 1.3 > etc...

it's especially goten way better since julia 1.5, so really mostly in the last few years.

In julia 1.8, what's interesting to me is that the julia runtime will be separated from the llvm codegen; https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/41936

the immediate effect is to allow small static binaries without a huge runtime (namely the LLVM ORC), but the side effect is probably that the interpreter will also get better in cases where you don't want JIT.
Wish browsers had built in support for it. Imagine if by default most downloads were through BitTorrent, and your browser would then seed the file for 1.5x the download size and time.
Keras is integrated into TensorFlow and it's as solid and easy as it gets if you need a high level API for deep learning. If you need to write your own modules PyTorch is probably a better choice.
> "Travel bans don't work": supports banning the unvaccinated from traveling to particular establishments, supported preventing anyone from traveling pretty much anywhere during the first lockdown stages last year

The reason travel bans don't work is because we apply them too late and too selectively, because otherwise trade shuts down and we have other issues. A travel ban targeting African countries is not effective when the variant is already spreading on two other continents.

You also cannot ban people from returning to their home country, so there is no way to truly prevent variants landing on the soil of a country with a travel ban.

Establishments requiring vaccines acknowledge that you cannot stop the spread of the virus but require you take some minimal steps to reduce the risk profile.

They are not the same thing.

>- "Walls don't work": closes and locks door when entering own home, probably has walls in house too

Doors and windows will not stop a motivated person from entering your home. Neither does a wall.

People crossing the border illegally are motivated people, and a wall would not stop them either.

Doors and locks are there to increase the effort required to break in, which is often a crime of opportunity. Border crossings are not a thing of opportunity.

They are not the same thing.

> "Ivermectin is horse paste"

While I'm sure some people do not understand that Ivermectin is more than just horse paste, this largely has come out of people literally buying it in horse paste form from Tractor Supply and taking it because they think it will help with CV19. If someone is dealing with a parasitic infection then we should not mock them for taking ivermectin, but that has not been the context for 99.999% of all ivermectin related discussion over the past year.
