The main issue is that you can afford 10,000 cruise missiles against a $10 Billion carrier and still come out ahead.

The minute we're talking 10,000 cruise missiles vs 1-million drones, the cruise missiles suddenly look easier because its just fewer things to deal with.

EDIT: In particular, we know how to launch hundreds of cruise missiles simultaneously. How do you plan to launch hundreds, or thousands, of drones simultaneously? What kind of launch platform is that? Just thinking about the design of the truck that carries 1,000 drones is already a big headache.

We have trucks that can carry 12 cruise missiles, and launch all 12 of them near simultaneously. A bunch of those trucks lined up on a highway aiming to the ocean is pretty easy to think about.

-----

We also have boats that can carry 100s of missiles, and launch dozens of them simultaneously. Those are called Missile Destroyers or Missile Cruisers.
At one point I was porting between different C stacks. I found they would compile just fine. It was when you looked into the details of the different CRT functions you would have some real fun. For example printf is an evil function of randomness, where the parameters are identical but the way it would decode that input string was highly dependent on when it was written and which stack it was in. Now today you have basically 3 different compilers you have to worry about and they mostly act the same now. It is just as you move between libs that it can sometimes get a bit crazy if they use any sort of if/def to change the way some features work (glaring at you pthreads).

Chisel and this project are different; chisel is a programming language to design hardware while this is a build tool for hardware design.

In software we have a nice compilation process that transforms code into machine code. However, to "compile" an ASIC you go from a hardware description language like verilog (which basically describes the design) and pass it through a complicated pipeline that composes a number of different tools. Right now, engineers use ad-hoc flows that use bash/TCL to glue together all the parts --- the project posted above is an attempt to cleanly specify + control the "compilation" process.

The scoop of the White House alleged trying to reshape media coverage of the economy and supply chain:

The White House, not happy with the news media's coverage of the supply chain and economy, has been working behind the scenes trying to reshape coverage in its favor. Senior White House and admin officials — including NEC Deputy Directors David Kamin and Bharat Ramamurti, along with Ports Envoy John Porcari — have been briefing major newsrooms over the past week, a source tells me.

The officials have been discussing with newsrooms trends pertaining to job creation, economic growth, supply chains, and more. The basic argument that has been made: That the country's economy is in much better shape than it was last year. I'm told the conversations have been productive, with anchors and reporters and producers getting to talk with the officials...
I ran a worldwide telecommunications consulting division for several years so many of the concerns in the article around bench time are familiar to me.

But if there was ever an optimal circumstance where individuals could maximize extended bench time to level up through self-directed learning, then software engineers such as those profiled in the article were in the best possible position. Instead of "researching hobbies" or complaining about "nothing coming from the laptop or the phone that you need to respond to", taking the initiative to start something (anything) on their own serves the dual purpose of developing their skillset and giving oneself an opportunity to plan ahead in their career.

To be fair, there also seems to be a serious breakdown in the US Infosys onboarding process, since junior staff should ideally be paired from the outset with a mentor and ideally also be receiving regular check-ins with their line manager (e.g. senior consultant, engagement manager or principal). But it sounds like none of these standard HR processeses were established for the US junior staff highlighted in the article.
I was excited initially, but Hair Metal is an obvious no-go for me.

Neither Python's style nor Haskell's style is sufficient. Howtos ("cookbook" style) and reference information are completely inadequate on their own.

The only acceptable documentation is that which hits all four quadrants of the Divio documentation system[1]: tutorials, how-to guides, reference information, and conceptual explanations. Each of these kinds is necessary in a different situation.

If there's a "cultural" aspect, then it's only in which of the four kinds of docs that those two communities ignore.

I also have an EdgeRouter, but will probably replace that last since it works fine and doesn't require any of the Ubiquiti Controller / Cloud shenanigans.

I've had intermittent LAN dropouts on the SG3100 that I couldn't explain from the logs. That in addition to Netgate's hostility towards open source with how they're handling pfSense, and the whole pfSense+ product, just puts a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to supporting the company. For the hardware and software stack they provide, the devices are very overpriced IMO. Same with Ubiquiti, though at least with Ubiquiti you're paying for a set-it-and-forget-it network, as long as you're willing to fully invest in their ecosystem. They're the Apple of network prosumer equipment.

But my main interest in abandoning both is investing in devices that I can upgrade and maintain independently and at my own pace. It will also be cheaper in the long run, though it does require some tinkering to setup.

There should be a better solution for 2FA now especially with cryptocurrency all the rage now. Like a small waterproof chip that can be attached to your skin (maybe upper elbow) with an RFID. Why hasn't such a product been invented yet?

Currently there is the YubiKey, Ledger, Trezor, which all cost $25-70. Just for a USB that can generate a OTP (I'm oversimplifying but does what they do really cost $50?). Then there is Duo mobile for phones, which may be slightly less secure but is probably better for most cases. But both suffer from the situation where you can lose your key.

Something like this :

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Oil_Sniffer_Hoax

"The Great Oil Sniffer Hoax was a 1979 scandal involving French oil company Elf Aquitaine. The company spent millions of dollars to develop a new gravity wave-based oil detection system, which was later revealed to be a scam. Elf lost over $150 million to the hoax. In France, the scandal is known as the "Avions Renifleurs" ("Sniffer Aircraft")."
As someone who worked with these techniques a lot in the past, I can say that SSL definitely makes sense in theory, but in practice, the gain doesn't pay off the complexity, except in rare cases w/ pseudo-labelling for example, which is very simple. Usually you tune a lot of hyperparams and tricks to make it work and the gain are usually minimal if you have a reasonable amount of labeled data.
I suspect it's a mindset change. Not heeding demand and staying stuck in the past was how Windows became a punchline, although I'm sure enterprise customers loved it. At some point it did begin to change -- I suspect it hasn't changed enough for HN readers.

For instance, Unix LF support was added to Notepad back in 2018 (at last!) with a few registry switches for compatibility.[1]

Odds are they helped develop and encourage it's adoption.

Results of crypto
1. One of the primary attack vectors on gold, one of the main enemies of the dollar and federal reserve.

2. Mass speculation and greed in crypto has led to it's adoption, which has led to the talk that we need a digital currency for several reasons. Results of a fully digital currency? Every dollar is tracked, no need for the $600 bank reporting requirement to catch the RICH

3. I still can't see the developer of Bitcoin not being a large group associated with government. Who could resist the temptation to be one of the richest people in the world from your creation, a group who is utilizing it for another purpose.

I think I know specifically what you are talking about. The actual files an engineer could upload to populate their folder was not multi-region for a long time.

There is a difference between liberal and libertarian. Libertarianism has a fairly narrow support even in the US. Those who argue for less regulation also want to ban abortion. The most libertarian representation in US politics was Greenspan and he seemed to walk back on it in 2008. It's a niche point of view in the United states.

Moreover, if libertarianism has value, it should be defensible without appeal to the support or lack of support in popular culture.
You also can install it by putting the win11 payload onto a win10 install USB stick. Just don't let it have access to the net while it installs or it'll "download install updates" that stop it from continuing. This is how I installed it on my machine that doesn't support TPM.
Yes, your original post was indeed correct by hedging a bit, speaking of "adult life expectancy" vs. "infant/child mortality".

People read that and it registers as infants dying within days after birth. But life expectancy for 10-year-olds has doubled: https://ourworldindata.org/life-expectancy. I doubt that your comment makes people think of dead teenagers, even though your post doesn't contradict that interpretation.

Even for the 40-year-olds, life expectancy increasing from 68 to 82 years means a >50% increase in "time remaining" which isn't something to sneeze (cough?) at, although I have to reluctantly acknowledge that I remembered it being even larger than that.
the problem is thought that people don't pay local school and property tax based on individuals. They pay based on per $k of property value.

To be blunt, a high density housing project going into a low density community is literally leaching off the existing tax basis. Exacerbating this is the fact that developers often know how to game local tax laws further reducing their tax burdens and thus shouldering it on others.

If you want to try a WM don't go for dwm: it's "too" simple and you need plenty of other helper scripts (volume control, resolution change, ...), But use a more "advanced" (user friendly) one instead

> ‘roll your own cloud’ is becoming more feasible

https://opennebula.io is worth looking at for that sort of thing (not that it's new). You don't have to do it that way, but its "edge" support for simple provisioning on bare metal providers doesn't include Hetzner; I think it assumes you can get instances on demand. That sort of solution isn't complex or expensive enough for my site, and doubtless others, though. Especially when you just want compute, I can't see the point in the pain (which surprised us) and expense of AWS et al.
"If you can't connect to the cloud, fail, move on and load the app so that local things are allowed to work."

Building fallbacks require work. How much extra effort and overhead is needed to build something like this ? Sometimes the cost vs benefits says that it is ok not to do it. If AWS has an outage like this once a year, maybe we can deal with it (unless you are working with mission critical apps).
> Figuring out what the problem is may take time. If a problem is impacting a customer’s experience, I’d rather recover faster and then pull metadata later to try and understand the issue.

How do you know it'll fix the problem, if you don't know the cause?

In my experience, about 50% of the time to fix an incident is cleaning up the mess you made performing a fix based on an hypothesis that turns out to be wrong. That means longer downtime.

A classic example of this is when a 60 disk raid unit crashed when performing a rebuild under load. This happened to my coworker when they were doing the daily replacing a disk task. They put in the disks, shut the draw, pressed the button that changes the activity lights to see that everything was working, and the thing froze.

They rightly shat their pants. They panicked, rebooted the array and attached fileserver. A load of data was lost (the file servers had at the time the maximum amount of ram you could shove in a standard 2u two proc intel server).

When it happened again, another coworker waited for the raid enclosure to reboot. Low and behold the SAS links came back and we were able to do an online fsck inside 3 minutes. no data lost.

If your facing an outage, breathing space to gather thoughts is time well invested. Blind hacking, or indeed decision paralysis is damaging

Except it isn't. There is clear evidence for efficacy of various psychometrical inventories in clinical settings.

Couldn't agree more. Furthermore, as an outside observer looking in to the US medical system, it seems to be set up in a specifically callous way that ruins lives and ensures all but the wealthiest face the prospect of financial ruin if their health takes a turn for the worst.

Given such a system, when they suddenly turn around and offer you a vaccine "for your own benefit, promise!", it is hardly surprising that it becomes a breeding ground for conspiracy theories (amplified by the usual social media issues).

Gotcha. I think I was mostly objecting to the first several words of your comment saying an interview is decided in the first several seconds :-)

I'm familiar with that feeling though. I've had several interviews where I really (subjectively) liked the candidate, and really wanted them to succeed - but having a prepared interview plan ended up doing its job and helped determine that the candidate was not a good match for the role.
