Yup, ladder logic is still around and still used in industrial control system/heavy machinary PLCs (programmable logic controllers). Codesys (https://www.codesys.com/) supports it and will work with a bunch of PLC products (e.g. products from IFM or STW), and I think I've seen it in Siemens PLCs as well.

You'd be surprised how often it's still used by mechanical/electrical engineers without any programming background to hack something together... And then eventually ends up in production.
"Our networking clients have well tested request back-off behaviors that are designed to allow our systems to recover from these sorts of congestion events, but, a latent issue prevented these clients from adequately backing off during this event. "

That is an interesting way to phrase that. A 'well-tested' method, but 'latent issues'. That would imply the 'well-tested' part was not as well-tested as it needed to be. I guess 'latent issue' is the new 'bug'.

Yep, when somebody else started using my trademark in a slightly related business, I called my lawyer and discussed. We decided to offer that they license the trademark for $1 and agree to discuss with me before using it in any new way. That way my trademark is protected and I don’t need to be an asshole.

Worked out well, we even threw each other business occasionally, and they went out of business after a couple years anyway.

I understand the concern about tornados, but living in the Midwest I gotta be honest I have zero concerns. Tornados are rare and might only be 50-200ft wide.

I’m much more concerned about general high winds. I live in a neighborhood amongst the fields and we regularly get 50-70 mph sustained winds with 70-90 mph gusts. We get these storms 2-4 times a year. Last night we had 40 mph winds with 55mph gusts.

To put it in perspective I’ve watched my neighbors fence blow apart and slam cars and neighbors windows/walls. Watched large play sets roll down the street, etc. our HOA had to put in rules about using iron / aluminum fences for this reason.

A couple years ago we had a thunderstorm & snow storm with high winds and temperatures were just right so everything built up a nice 1-2 inches of ice so power went out. Again way worse than tornadoes.

I'm sorry you had such an experience. Ethical lawyers will give you the best advice they can, which often includes "you are going to end up paying me way more than what's at stake here." (This literally just happened to me as a client over a land-sale-deposit dispute.) Or, "This is a turkey of a case and you should roll over. You owe me nothing."

In general, in Poland most senior people work as (pretend) "contractors", because the taxes are drastically lower for them than for full-time employment (it's essentially a massive country-wide tax evasion scheme which is, at least for now, tolerated by the tax authorities). None of the labor protection laws (high overtime pay etc.) apply to them. I don't know if CDPR also hires a ton of "contractors", but I would be very surprised if they didn't - they'd be saying no to a ton of experienced people who just won't work as full time employees.
1) Bitcoin isn't about fast and cheap transactions. It is about censorship-resistant transactions and sound money with a fully fixed and transparent monetary policy, protected by the most powerful supercomputer in the history of the world. No other crpyto currency or asset class offers this.

2) Lightning already offers fast AND cheap payments at nation-state scale. The future is already here, it just isn't evenly distributed yet.

I can imagine training ML models that can imitate human play closely enough and even your play specifically to increase the odds you win.

Detecting a stockfish moves over enough sample size is easy sure, but detecting a engine which is designed to imitate human play not make the best move everytime is not easy with number of moves a human would play in their lifetime.

The author of this piece seems interesting, Bill Kovarik, a professor of communications.

I'd run across an earlier article on the history of lead's use in industry --- not just fuel, but pain and elsewhere --- based on some writing by economist Joel Mokyr. The piece struck me as hagiographic and excusing the practice, and lead me to digging into both the history and messaging about lead. The industry, notably the American Lead Company (since aquired by Sherwyn-Williams), and its "Little Dutch Boy" ads for white paint were specifically intended to convey the message that lead paint was a safe and healthy option for children.

And lead wasn't some fractional component of the paint: it was as much as half of the paint by weight. (Current acceptable standards are measured in parts per million.)

I ended up writing the journalist, who apparently forwarded my email to Mokyr. We had a brief exchange a part of which addressed the role of communications technologies in changing society. Mokyr's response disappointed me, I dug further, and discovered Elizabeth Eisenstein, whose major work addresses the printing press as an agent of change (with books and papers of similar titles). Mokyr dismissed her argument, of course.

Kovarik has his own book, a dissertation, and a few YouTube videos up which I'd recommend for anyone interested in communications and its role on society.

I assume the author thinks that would be a good proxy for some hard-to-measure quality, and is not actually aiming to hire the best typists because of their typing skills.

As for what that quality is, I don't see any hints there. It could be anything from general tech-mindedness to even basic diligence or who knows what.
> This is a negative stereotype of unions—based on some real-world examples, to be sure, but a stereotype all the same—that has been aggressively pushed as anti-union propaganda for decades.

It would be interesting to see examples of unions that aggressively promote performance based pay -- this is a genuine question. I think an objective view would show that the stereotype is broadly accurate, if not 100% accurate.

The reason for this is that we live in a world in which 20% of the people do 80% of the work, but only have 20% of the votes. That is why there is an inherent tension between democracy and fair pay. It's true that this has nothing to do with unions per se, except that unions are the ones to be in a position to vote on pay.

One could imagine a different situation, say where the number of votes you have is weighted by your salary when the union first forms, and have negotiations be for total labor expenditure rather than individual worker salaries. Then you can still have a union but it would resist the type of equalization forces by which the best people exit for higher pay outside the union, which ends up being a drag on both the union and the company and causes a lot of firms to oppose unions more than they otherwise would.
This is my personal experience as well.
False. C&D letters are sent via email all the time.

Does slag ever have wildly different isotope ratios like that in practice? I would guess they're pretty well mixed in the ore, without much of the kind of local variation that would throw the ratio out of whack for just one tiny sample. Unless the refining process can accidentally separate magnesium by isotopes, you need a much more involved hoax.
> This model like its predecessor still lacks the ability to infer within constraints of physical world [1]. It does not have any notion of what a physical world is, and still is, at the end of the day, a statistical model.

How did you reach this conclusion? Is there evidence or was it inferred from the model structure?
Also, my understanding is that Java deserialization (or deserialization in general) wasn't intended to explicitly allow actual code execution, just reconstitution of an object's state from storage on disk, the network, etc. Sometimes the state of certain types of object can be repurposed to result in arbitrary code execution, but AFAIK that wasn't an anticipated outcome or design goal back in the 90s.

Watching HN debate unions is always a good time. Blizzard is right, being in a union generally means you can't negotiate for yourself but seeing as the workers are in this position to begin with, negotiating for themselves clearly wasn't working out.

Yup. If you know how to think like a coder, you can keep picking things up. I've been coding for 28 years and I've dipped in and out over the years. I keep abreast of things enough to know where to find the most up to date information and how I would learn it if I need or want to.

I'd compare it to using Wikipedia/web search for basic facts. Even if you don't know the capital of Morocco off the top of your head, you know how to answer that question.

Human languages are similar: I've studied six + have a Linguistics degree, and even languages in families I've never studied before are a lot easier for me to pick up than somebody who's only studied 1 non-native language.

Why would you paid back technical debt on something where you don't intend to add features into or don't have serious bugs?

This idea that it must be changing forever is literally why you can't have simple done tools. Cause they will be considered abandoned once they do that one thing.
The problem is, far too many programmers think they're "top performers" who deserve to be paid way more than the guy in the next cubicle over—far, far more than can possibly be the case, mathematically speaking.

Personally, even if I believed myself to be the mythical 10x developer, I would still advocate for unions, because

a) Unions help with more than just pay; they make working conditions and benefits vastly better

b) I care about the people around me being paid fairly, too

c) If I'm genuinely good enough to be at the top of whatever pay scale there ends up being, I'm confident that a union will make sure that's enough money to live comfortably, and that's all I need.

I have negative interest in ever having a lifestyle in which the difference between $150k/yr and $200k/yr actually affects what I can do for myself or how I can live.
Which are only there because tornadoes are extremely local events, you can be very close to the destruction and come out unscathed. Like it can reduce your house to toothpicks and leave your neighbors house entirely unharmed.
While you bring up an interesting question, it's important to note that people died in that building. Perhaps some compassion is in order.

To answer your question though, unless the item someone ordered is unique and only stored in that warehouse, they will probably just mark the warehouse as down and the system will simply route around it and increase delivery estimates for the people who were served by that warehouse. They will probably redeploy the surviving trucks to nearby warehouses to handle the load.

> In my experience, a lawyer will also nudge you towards whichever course involves keeping a lawyer involved.

Both of the times my wife and I have consulted an attorney, they provided an overview of the relevant legal and practical context, a description of options of how to approach it and what they could do as part of that and the fee structure involved, and a description of why hiring them would probably not be cost-effective for the issue at hand.
Inflation is not caused directly and only by printing.

But imagine it was. We'd see inflation apply evenly everywhere. So wages would rise too. Inflation would not eat into your earnings in any compounding fashion.
That's irrelevant for this issue. Domain holders have to provide working email addresses as a condition of registration, and are reminded annually to keep their addresses up to date.

If an email address can't be found, the correspondence can be delivered through other means if necessary (mail, process server, etc.). But generally, there has no longer been a need to waste paper and postage to deliver notices since email became practically ubiquitous.

I have this also. So many things to say I don't know where to begin. I feel like there is a distinct difference between the experiences of seeing the images when you are falling asleep vs seeing the images when you have recently come out of sleep. And then there is a third state where you have recently come out of sleep but you aren't done sleeping yet so you are also falling back to sleep. This last one often allows me to start having a lucid dream.

1) Weird things like this happen to me most often in the early morning hours when I'm still drowsy but I've woken up for a few minutes.

2) It is sometimes accompanied by a "whooshing" sensation that used to frighten me and usually caused me to "back out" into normal consciousness. Eventually I learned how to relax and let it unfold without panicking. Quite often I have the sensation of rolling out of my body, off the bed and onto the floor.

3) I am paralyzed when it happens, in the sense that if I move my hand, the hand that moves is a dream hand. My real hand of course doesn't move. It doesn't feel like paralysis because I can "move" in my dream. But I am consciously aware that my real body is lying still in bed.

4) I have to be very careful not to wake myself especially at the beginning (edit: and being careful is paradoxical because if I am too careful then that will wake me too, sort of like the paradox of needing to be both loose and tight in sports). I am also aware that if my wife coughs or makes some kind of noise, I might wake up. I have discovered an odd remedy for this however: if I make "dream noise" - for instance, if I shuffle my feet loudly in the dream - I am less likely to be woken by real noise from the real world.
I haven’t seen it yet so it’s alright for me.
Wait, what country do you live in? Can I move there? I feel like most Americans don't view the human component of any of their transactions anymore, and have relegated nearly everything to out of sight, out of mind.

Tons of high quality games were created with a lot of crunching and squeezing (e.g. pretty much all ID games). People think too much about 9-5 or 4-day work but what is much more important is give developers the FREEDOM to create contents. Of course flexible work hours is part of the deal but more importantly you need a management that understands the business and refrain from imposing unreasonable deadlines or requirements.

BTW I believe the best place for a game developer is something similar to ID before Activision. It's small and flexible, but not too small to develop big titles. Nowadays you might need some 50-100 developers for a big title but if you go over the number and/or go public the productivity and more importantly the focus is going to be lost.
Hadn't seen this before, but that's a flattering comparison. Thanks!

+1 I understand. I have friends and family members who refuse the vaccinations, and I believe that is their right. The idea of mandates in a free society bugs me, I don’t like it. I am grateful to get experimental vaccines that I think help more than hurt.

My wife and I have tried to make life as normal and enjoyable during Covid-19. One thing that helps hugely is seeing friends and family often, but outside. Breakfast and coffee in a yard, or everyone take a picnic lunch to a park. Every moment we live is a gift, and everyone needs to figure out for themselves how to live a free and inspired life.
Actually, the surface of attack is larger. It is: the machine receives strings from a service that's been connected to the internet somehow and the machine itself server can connect to the internet. A non-obvious example would be logs/data that will be processed by Solr.
I think this assumes a more efficient rental market than what actually exists. Even in highly demand-skewed some properties sit empty for weeks/months between tenants.

> this will simply increase incentive to sell (if you can’t get enough to rent out), reducing the purchase price, and allowing people to live there.

But that means less supply for rental, and presumably lower impact on the demand for rental given how different the renting versus buying populations are. Even in a maximally efficient model this should result in raising rents?
Ever wonder why so many tech companies donate to "learn to code" organizations?
> Also, this is one of the rarer occasions when playing it once is enough.

Depends on how hard it nerd snipes you. My first play through started with “ooh, clever” and ended with “now that I understand it how fast can I beat it?”
I think a lot of the reasons unions in tech fail to materialize is that every employee sees themself as in the "top performer" group and therefore imagines his or her compensation decreasing in a union. Do a survey of a company's software engineers and ask them if they believe they are among the top 1% of performers in their company. I bet more than 15% say YES.

There are many more below-average comps in tech than above average, because the high end skews really high. So the majority of tech workers should actually see more compensation when negotiating collectively.

I remember a time when Google used to crank out a seemingly endless stream of stuff that basically were tremendous improvements to the internet.

Chrome itself was one of those amazing improvements.

These days are long gone it seems.

As a matter of fact, the exact opposite seems to be happening right now: every change coming out of a Google seems to improve their lot at the detriment of everyone else, especially their users.

The time to ditch Chrome was ~5 years ago, but if you aren't convinced yet, this latest "improvement" should be the straw that breaks the donkey's back.
The LSI-11 and 11/23 jumped to 173000 at startup, so (re)booting them was just hit halt on the front panel and then enter '173000G' in ODT (the built-in octal debugger). If necessary, it would only take a minute or two to type in a bootstrap somewhere in RAM and execute (my boss at the time could do that faster across the toggle keys on the front panel of his larger PDP-11 than I could type it in).

I coded several bootstraps for PDP-11/23's, managed to get 4 different devices (DX,DY 8" disks, MX 5.25" and MZ 3.5" disks) complete with CLI into 256 words (2x256 byte OTP ROMs). Careful coding time, since one had to send the listing off to someone who could burn the ROMs and post them back.
It isn't that simple. The burden of proof and the cost of filing suit is entirely on the people who own the .net domain. You can't lose a domain based off of a threatening email.

I have received threaten letters before and have responded with "I dispute these claims. Please do not contact me again in any manner" and I never heard from them again.

I don't know enough about the company sending the threatening letter here, so I can't say if that would work or not here, but it is very possible you don't need a lawyer.
