One root cause I've seen over during database outages is insufficient IO. It's caused by the other most common root cause: lack of actual expertise. Until you've been through the wringer, it's easy to lack respect for data: how important it is, how fucking large it is, and how long it takes to do basically anything with a few TB of it. If you didn't hire a real expert, and your DB-for-a-day guy miscalculated the spec for your bare metal clusters, you'll find it extremely hard to magic up faster hardware during a 4am full-outage when Europe wakes up. If you're on cloud, at least you have the flexibility to increase block storage IOPS or quickly reboot a node on beefier hardware or faster network connections. But suddenly the "cheap" DIY database is a lot more expensive than you budgeted for, and the phrase "nobody needs a dedicated DB guy" starts sounding really short sighted.
Neither are stellar examples of high class journalism, but just search the names of both publications plus "lawsuit" or "libel" or similar to observe the categorial difference. The NYPost is undeniably factually wrong more often.

How do you pronounce "Tvix"?
> A related problem is, how do you make sure the domain goes to whoever values it most

Why should it go to whoever values it the most? And what do you even mean by thet? Whoever is willing to pay the most?

Domains are most useful as a stable human readable name for a server/service. If someone comes along later with a "better" use is not a reason to take the name away since that (or doing so indirectly by increasing the cost past what the owner can/wants to bear) would destroy the main value of domains in the first place.

And who are you to judge that an under construction gif is not a valid use of a domain. Maybe that gif is what the hoster wants to have there. Maybe there is more content that you don't know the path of. Maybe there are other non-HTTP services on that domain.

When people write worse C++ code than naive C# performs, it is really bad.
I agree with this. Having it declared once and letting the compiler handle it would be more convenient and invite fewer errors than requiring the programmer to insert a conversion every time the variable needs to be read or written.

People who memcpy bytes into a destination without caring if there's enough room would also not hesitate to use memcpy to copy bytes into a std::vector though.
why is the "payment processing" software written in c/c++ and not something like java in the first place? i would imagine not needing to care too much about memory would speed up development velocity. was it before java became popular? i can understand the munitions control software possibly running on a constrained device and not needing very sophisticated memory management (cue the old joke about the "ultimate in garbage collection").

How to Protect Your API Key in Production with Next.js API Route
I suggest acting according to worst case assumptions, not weighing probabilities equally.
Yes, this headline is really misleading. You could argue the gap widened a bit after the mandate, but that is probably more a factor of behavior/vaccination rate compounding than masking. This is anything but conclusive about mask.
I wonder if you could do something like this[0] on the projectile to reduce drag:

"It is reported that femtosecond-duration laser pulse can be deployed to reduce drag for blunt-body vehicle in high-Mach flow field of air by generating laser plasma and shockwave. The interaction of plasma shockwave induced by femtosecond-duration laser pulse and bow shock over the head of the blunt-body vehicle is investigated numerically in the flow field of 30 km apart from the surface of the earth at Mach number of 5 and the mechanism of deploying the femtosecond laser plasma to reduce the drag of the vehicle is analyzed. The Navier-Stokes equations are exploited to compute the drag reduction for different femtosecond laser energies. The present numerical experiment proves that the femtosecond laser pulse has a better drag reduction effect than the nanosecond laser pulse under the same condition. When the femtosecond laser energy is 0.06 mJ, the femtosecond laser plasma can reduce the drag by 98%. And the higher the energy of femtosecond laser pulse, the higher the drag reduction ratio and the longer the time of low drag. Deploying three femtosecond laser energy point to reduce the drag of hypersonic vehicle is much more obviously. This energy-deposition mode can improve the optimum drag reduction ratio and save the laser energy."

Probably out of the scope for a $200 build, but maybe in the scope of a $2000, $20000, or $200000 build?

I also wonder if iterating on the above, combined with a concentrated solar power plant of arbitrary sized solar field that could provide enough energy for a railgun to launch payload with femtosecond laser plasma capabilities out of earths gravity well?

Maybe, we could escape from the Goddard age eventually lol

Just humans fitting everything into their borderline retarded systems.

Claiming resources by force and by right has become too hard, so now they'll claim protectorate or something over resources that are "threatened" by other humans.

In the end, it's just another way for this species to fight itself.

Clearly people are playing along with Bitcoin, so I don't see your point? I also don't fully understand what you are saying. You mean if dollar would gain in value as fast as Bitcoin, people would stop using dollars?
Due to technical reasons Bitcoins are lost every day though. There is nothing that keeps the dead Bitcoins moving. So the supply is shrinking over the long term.
It's not just that it's confusing, it's misleading. Humans attach a lot of value to names of things. The whole history of a thing is keyed on its name, a fact that is especially pertinent in the internet era.

If some brand has built up a bad rep, they shouldn't be allowed to change it just by renaming themselves. Likewise a firm that's built a good rep and wants to try something new in order to protect the brand shouldn't be allowed to either. I don't know whether the law could ever protect us from this, I suppose it's more the job of the media to keep remind us who Altria are, and where Lexus came from.

A lot of brand shenanigans is basically abusing how humans associate history with names. Somehow it's never been an ethical issue to change brands, spawn a new brand, or buy another brand while hollowing out the product.
If you read the description you’ll see that it’s optimizing around certain syscalls like memcopy (which is otherwise limiting and reduces speed by 5x). I think it’s less language choice, and more low level optimization that is making a difference here.

My current (and hope to stay a very long time) job is 4-day week, and so were my last 2 before that. Its easy to negotiate in my experience. The thing is, most people simply don't ask. Maybe they're scared it makes them look not committed or something. But that's easy to fix by cranking out decent work for the 4 days you're there. Its probably harder if you have line management responsibility or some other expectation that needs you there more. But coding? No problem. I have an "excuse" in terms of extra caring responsibilities, which I declare, and that probably puts to bed any idea people have that its out of laziness. As for golden handcuffs, some truth in that perhaps, but if you enjoy 4 days a week and that frees up time, does it really matter if you then feel a bit tied to that employer? Its a trade-off. One other thing, you can save random bits of money with a weekday off by doing jobs you might otherwise paid someone to do, or cook cheaper but fiddlier foot etc. good luck asking. ;)
Because the company printing a single stock is already a signal it is worth a little bit less. If you have N stock for capital valuation $V, each stock is worth $V/N. If you emit one more, you basically need either to argue your company total valuation should rise or you dilluted all stock to be worth now $V/(N+1).

The company valuation is not stock price * stock count, which is your confusion, it's more tangible asset + speculative future assets, so the more stock you emit the less they each is worth. Companies become popular by doing stock buyback (increasing each remaining stock individual value).

Market cap, which is the stuff they do for amateur and children, to multiply stock count by stock price, is entirely meaningless because it ignores value when stocks were actually transacted and liquidity. If you emit a million stock at 0.1c and then create a marketing fad while locking the supply in the hands of a few and refuse to sell, you create a huge gap between low supply and high demand, increasing the individual price manyfold, arriving at a huge market cap... but you paid nothing for most stocks and a few people paid a LOT for a little. In investment banking we use volume weighted average price to try to get a view of what's the short term intraday value of a stock instead.

Imagine, I dont know, a crypto asset with a market cap of a trillion and a single individual owning 1/21 of the entire asset pool, if this single individual signal just one token sale, the entire market starts selling to people who dont want to buy anymore: what is then the value of considering the market cap ? It can go to 0 tomorrow just if demand disappear. Basically you need to include liquidity, a metric of the stability of the supply and demand, that's why I prefer to look at earnings per share to evaluate a company, it is way more significative of what you just bought. For a crypto asset it's 0 for instance.
> But a buffer overflow like from the article? That's just a matter of saving the length of the array alongside the pointer and doing a bounds check, which a compiler could easily insert

Both the array length and the index can be computed at runtime based on arbitrary computation/input, in which case doing bounds checks at compile time is impossible.
That's just insane :D
>Like an obligation to flee if reasonable to do so etc.

If you're targeted personally i suppose. When the violence isn't targeted your running away wouldn't change the situation if there are other people around who can be shot. That reminds about that veteran who attacked the shooter several years ago at the Oregon college - he could have fled i guess, yet he didn't. Did he had an obligation to flee? I don't think anybody there entertained even for a moment such nonsense idea as the shooter's self-defense against the veteran who attacked him and got wounded in that fight. In Kenosha though the shooter shot the guys who tried to stop him (and from any point of view he was the active shooter to be stopped as he didn't stay with his first victim calling/waiting for police and rendering help to the victim as one would do in a true self-defense situation, and as an active shooter he was a threat to everybody, a threat that the people have the right to defend themselves from), and it somehow got successfully sold as self-defense on his part.
The difference is that that the WTA actually has leverage on China because China loses legitimacy in sports from this decision. No Chinese woman can ever be the best tennis player anymore. The NBA and John Cena actually have negative leverage on China. Both are purely American exports, so getting them banned in China only serves to widen the trade imbalance. China would love to find an excuse to do so.
This assumes that only uneducated uninformed people are choosing to not get vaccinated. It couldn't possibly be that they understand natural immunity still provides immunity, or that the risk in their group and based on their health is very low, or that they've learned how bureaucracy can be used to influence the medical community... not like they had to learn about the atrocities committed by the medical community in the past, and how bureaucracy was used to promote things that are now seen as unethical and mistakes.

Or maybe they are aware of drugs that received authorization in the past and that the same companies that are making bank of the vaccines, don't have the best history with being honest and transparent.
Step 1: Scrub Weibo from any mentioning of WTA, or women tennis in general.

Step 2: Withdraw all Chinese tennis players. Complain how WTA decision is hurting sport and this issue should not be politicized.

Step 3: Ban broadcasting of all women tennis tournaments.

Step 4: Massive disinformation campaign against WTA.

Step 5: Push the other organizations that are under CCP's thumb to pressure WTA to back off.

The problem is that Whatsapp is a very non-US-oriented app - its is very popular in EU and Asia/Africa/Latin America, but none of my US friends use it other than to reach us outside of the US.

Since it's not US-focused, the US execs (and boards, investors) tend to dismiss it. This explains why Whatsapp was left, relatively, untouched by FB in terms of user experience, after the acquisition - it's not shiny by any means for somebody in the valley, so no exec wants to hang that in their portofolio

So what we're seeing is that a specialized handcoded assembler version is 10x faster than a generic C version?

If so that makes me a bit sad, because in the modern day we'd want to assume that compilers have gotten a little better at optimization.
You were on the right track with the ironic parler comment, however, 4chan and old reddit, old school forums both always had and currently have moderation. The moderation rules are just different than on other sites, but they had hundreds of humans moderating. Even the newer, arguably worse web forums out there are still policed internally, as you note.

It's a myth that there was zero moderation. What the libertarian ideal was privacy and anonymity. Where a user could say something like sharing a link to the pirate bay and not worry about it too much when it got moderated. Websites would respect a users privacy. Moderation was about cleaning the site, not sharing a users personal data with authorities. It wasn't about free speech so much as a kind of place for users on the internet with no real world consequences for sharing, for example, a link to the pirate bay.

They all moderated.

I would like to see Google highlight legally removed search results.

For example, leave a gap in the search results where the missing one would have been, perhaps with some details of the result which do not fall under the removal request (for example, the title of the page, even if the URL must be removed).
Interesting choice of words - and I agree with it.

But I would add that the theological aspect has usually been accompanied by the will of a large mass of people willing to disrupt order on behalf of the papacy. I believe that aspect still exists, even in secular France today, though to what degree I'm not sure. Likely, the secular French of today are as willing to fight unrest as those dedicated to the church are willing to fight for it.

Holy wars are horrible. Best avoided, and both sides know that.

Show HN: I made a Chrome extension to make you write every day
Writing every day is the most shared and less practiced advice among writers. Every guru preaches creators to write every day. But where is the system to effectively do so?
So, I made a chrome extension to automatically measure your writing progress on any site you write. Be it your personal blog, Medium, Quora, Substack, or anywhere, it can track your progress automatically.
Simply set a word count goal and start writing. There are streak calendar and monthly progress chart to motivate you and keep you accountable.

I'll highly appreciate your feedbacks.
I agree with you, that meme is highly misleading. To some extent company behavior is just aggregate customer behavior.

However, it's not the whole extent. For example Exxon knowing about the CO2 greenhouse effect in 1982 and keeping quiet about that knowledge is problematic behavior that is not excused by customers' desire to buy fossil fuels IMHO.

I'm not wedded to the Exxon example. If you prefer, substitute any company that willfully breaks environmental protection laws to increase profits.
Right. Share buybacks and sales are both value neutral at the moment they're done, but selling implies they think it's overvalued.
No stress, friend :) Remember, small contributions really matter! You can do it!
I'm always amazed that there are still people actively using torrents, given that even for popular software like Windows LTSB/LTSC there are virtually no well-seeded torrents on TPB and the music market has been pretty much eliminated by Spotify.

I'm not sure how giving favorable pricing to bulk purchasers (i.e. mostly squatters) is a positive thing for domains.
