I tend to agree.

If/when we have AR glasses that are reasonably priced and genuinely useful, I'm inclined to think they'll be broadly accepted. Yes, there will be people including some of the people reading this who will be upset about the panopticon-like invasion of privacy associated with always-on cameras everywhere. But they'll be largely ignored just as they are today with respect to video/photos being just a smartphone in the pocket away.

It's easy to forget that less than 20 years ago taking a photo, much less a video, was a pretty deliberate act involving equipment that most people didn't routinely carry with them.

Two starships at 200t each linked by 10 cables would need 40kN each, a 5cm diameter cable, at 2.5kg/m a 1km cable, you'd need need 25 tons of cable, about 10% of the cargo capacity. You'd be well under 1rpm

Again, you don't need to build an S3 replacement; you can deploy it onto k8s. This is the same skill set whether in a public or private cloud.

Agree, I don't think anyone is buying SANs that don't need them. If you're spending 7 figures on your AWS bill, you should be looking into other options.
I’m amazed how long it dragged on.
Ask HN: What technologies will we still be using in 20 years?
For example, I assume that in 20 years Python will still be popular, meaning that at least one of the existing web frameworks will still be popular. I suspect Postgres and SQLite will be in still, but MySQL will be out almost entirely. I presume Flask will fall by the wayside.

In your field, what do you think will still be in use and what will be either deprecated or just entirely out of favor by that point.
Nike will sell their clothing and shoes for games, metaverse experience, etc as NFTs. Doesn't seem that crazy.
Blockchain is the future of nothing...
The carts and games are way more valuable than the consoles themselves, which were mass produced over many generations.
Nike getting into NFTs makes sense, people already see the shoes as financial investments.

I just hope they bake in carbon offsets, it's my only real gripe with blockchains and NFTs; the ponzis and snakeoil will sort themselves out.
>>$20,000 for 4 to 6 months

$20,000 for 300-400hrs of work, as estimated, quoted and documented by the author.

I don't know why we are trying to misinterpret the story so hard in this thread. And I don't know how much more entitlement we can possibly have as profession on this continent, where we find $50-$66USD per hour of optional, interesting and challenging, comfortable and remote work, a perceived insult worthy of HackerNews front page. This person was not forced at gunpoint to work beneath their sustainable means. They got an offer, they rejected the offer. I give the author a credit of self-awareness for noting this is indeed a lot of money for a lot of people; less so for most of us on HN it appears.
This entitled attitude irks me to no end. I'm curious, how much of your work do you donate to others?

I would like to benefit from some of your free work, for personal use.
Totally agree on the debugging. The fact that PyTorch is more pythonic and easier to debug makes it the better choice for a lot of applications.

Are you in research? I think TensorFlow's position in industry puts it in a kind of too-big-to-fail situation at this point. It'll be interesting to see what happens with JAX, but for now TensorFlow really is the option for industry.

I'm not a worker but it sounds similar to the Mad Gadget remote code exec bug in Apache Commons Collections that was discovered five years ago. I wrote a blog post about it. https://opensource.googleblog.com/2017/03/operation-rosehub.... Back when I worked at Google, we sent pull requests to about 2,600 open source projects. The thought never really crossed our minds to blog about it publicly. The problem is that people just kept getting hacked, because these Java core libraries are everywhere. Looking back to Mad Gadget should give us some idea of what to expect. I can't tell for certain but this Log4j RCE could be worse since Apache says it can be triggered not just by the format string but also by the log parameters. However I'm not sure what they mean by LDAP since I wouldn't have thought that'd intersect with a logging library. https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html

Protection against infection by omicron with two vaccines is minimal (for that matter, it wasn’t great for delta); protection against severe illness is still believed to be substantial. The booster offers substantial protection from infection.

Israel is not, as far as anyone knows, preparing for a fourth vaccine, though it has been speculated about (and realistically most countries have contingency plans in that direction).

For now, it’s not really known how long protection against infection by a booster holds up. It might be an every six month job, it might require a fourth and no more, three might be sufficient. No-one knows.

My city (Karlsruhe) actually gives subsidies to anyone buying a cargo bike. Mostly they are used to transport kids. I, however, have to go up and down a stair to get my bike out (typically Gründerzeit house) . Further than that they are totally impractical if the one bringing your kid to kindergarten isn't the one picking it up. They are also difficult to park anywhere. However, to me this is the green version of the SUV . Makes not much sense but keeps your middle class happy... I guess there are worse trends

The tl;dr version is that there are 10^80 atoms in the known universe, a computer with 1MB of memory can be in 2^1,000,000 or 10^300,000 possible states. Worse with a thousand times more memory. The easiest, quickest, perhaps the only, way to get it into a known state is to reboot it.

(Amusing introduction: "I took Friday off to be at home, because I can't get any work done at work, too many interruptions")

(I like Joe Armstrong's sense of humour here, dry, understated: "A prompt came up saying 'there's a new version of Open Office' and I thought 'That's good, it'll be better'.".)
Yes, as long as it is out there, it means it can continue to mutate.
I think it is more or less a hedge. If NFTs fizzle out, Nike doesn't lose much. If NFTs do become a staple of society/the virtual world, they become one of the early adopters and gain massive advantages in advertising and understanding of the space.
>> There were guns

One person was found with a gun on Capital grounds not inside the capital. the other charges are related to guns in a vehicle and a hearsay claim.

You're inflating statistically and significant details to further an inaccurate narrative.

>>was a violent, unlawful collective action aimed at using force and threat of force against officials as a means of overturning the election

Nice claim but pretty subjective interpretation.

I'm sure there were a few people there with bad intentions.

But are all Arabs terrorists? Were all the protestors there to overthrow the government?

Your sensationalizing a statistically insignificant number of bad people to demonize an entire group who were there to peacefully protest.

It seems to be a pattern. Take a statistically insignificant detail and exaggerate it to demonize and further a narrative.

This is what the media does as well.

It probably makes no sense to talk of a virus having a strategy. I don’t agree with all of his stuff but the point of Daniel Dennett’s “intentional stance” is basically that attributing mental states to things is just a pragmatic matter. If it helps us understand virus behavior better to treat them as if they have strategies (which implies mentation), then we should do it. I don’t see how it would help at all here, though.
You'd be guessing wrong. I'm definitely over 40 for some time now.

>Search plays a huge part in this shit show too.

Is this not something we (ie 'people on HN with the appropriate skill sets who are miffed at the state of the web') are actually in a position to do something about? Maybe we need a search engine that's specifically there to index sites that aren't aggressively monetised, or even excludes commercial web content altogether. We'd need some heuristics to figure out how heavily monetised a site is and obviously we'd want to favour self-hosted sites and forums rather than centralised blogging platforms and things like Reddit.

This wouldn't be aimed at replacing DDG or other generalised search engines, it'd just scratch that itch of 'where do I find web 1.0 style content that's not endless ad-ridden cruft and SEO spam?'.
If you're experiencing very slow (60 seconds) page loads on POST, this may be a Firefox bug [1] interacting with Google's TLS settings. If the pages are just kind of sluggish, I dunno.

The really short version is go to about:config and disable security.tls.enable_0rtt_data; the pretty short version is if you need a new HTTP/2 connection to make a POST request, and the server supports TLS 1.3 Early Data (aka 0rtt), and Firefox negotiates Early Data, it won't send the POST until an inactivity timeout occurs on the TLS socket. In Firefox 94 (in release channel 2020-11-02), that timeout was about 60 seconds; looks like the same for Firefox 95 (in release channel as of 2020-12-07). Firefox 96 (currently available as Nightly, expected release 2021-01-10) had a shorter timeout of 4 seconds, but also has a bug fix as of 2021-11-26.

Of course, it's difficult to tell which client is which during the TLS handshake, so you can't really offer most clients TLS 1.3 Early Data and not to broken versions of Firefox; not that Chrome uses TLS 1.3 Early Data.

> With so many large scale hacks, 0-days, and breaches happening these days, are cybersecurity professionals ok?

As an industry? We are getting better. Better recognition for neurodiversity, and the needs and capabilities for each other. Better at calling out the bad actors who can be poison pills in our teams, companies, and communities. Better at mentoring folks who are coming up in the industry.

None of that changes the disastrous toll that the security industry can take on individuals. Incident responders and investigators often have to deal with many of the psychological issues that police officers have to (exposure to CSAM, graphic imagery, deep knowledge of cybercrime and the relationship to real world crime, including human trafficking, drug trafficking, etc). The stress of often working in sensitive roles where you can't share or talk about things, and in the case of many colleagues (at least in Canada and the United States), having access to work approved "counselling services" as opposed to actual mental health professionals with a direct clinician-patient relationship.

Many IT Security folks work in teams that are under resourced, function in "Teams" of one, and are often expected to fulfill the roles of SRE, IT Support, Architecture, Engineering, and Compliance for any technologies or tools they use to do their jobs, in addition to actually doing their jobs.

It gets to be a bit much at times :)

> Have studies about the mental health and anxiety levels of this group of professionals been conducted?

I don't know if there are any formal, rigorous, academic studies, but mental health in the cybersecurity space has been a long discussion, with the earliest significant discussions I remember being back in 2008-2009 at some conferences.

Depending on the role and the organization it can be a high stress job. I often tell a story at talks and conferences about my 72 hour work day, which was my first incident response activity early in my career. It involved life critical and personal safety systems affecting thousands of people, and ended up working with the team for literally 3 days straight with no sleep because there was no one else in our team that had the perspective on how to address the issues. There was serious physical fallout, as well as mental issues (I developed aphasia for a short period of time, amongst other things) Many of the folks I know in the industry have similar (but not as grim as a full 72 hours), and that's setting aside the toll of building a career on telling people that there are big issues, and having to be helpful and constructive instead of saying "I told you so..." when things go poorly.

> Claiming that one is in favor of abortion until a certain limit, but then supporting a party that says none at all is the way to go is pretty off base, yeah?

Sure there are people who opposed it entirely, but the majority of what is actually proposed and passed are more focused on defining a cutoff time when the baby is alive with rights of its own. “Heartbeat Bills” are a good example.

There’s a reason you see different laws in different states and it’s because people don’t agree.

You’ll always have people who want to eliminate it entirely and you’ll always have people who want no restrictions at all. That will never change.

Simply trying to agree on a point in time where a fetus has a right to life where termination is unacceptable though, that’s the problem. And politicians don’t want that to change because the moment that the bulk of the charge goes out of an issue they can’t use it to divide people anymore.

If that one issue was off the table, would you reevaluate your party platform? Do you agree with all of it? Do you agree with anything at all on the other side of the isle?
This is not what I expected, but I guess it tells more about me than anything else given that stratchery doesn't typically cover such subjects. What I thought the subject is going to be about society bifurcation along the traditional 'haves' and 'havenots'.

Going by the numbers presented in this article, it's actually Denmark. And our bike culture is mostly a feature of Copenhagen, so really Copenhagen is the global hub.

Cargo bikes were always quite popular in Copenhagen. The dominant brand for several decades was produced in Christiania (a hippie/anarchist commune), so just a few years ago they were all still known as "Christiania bikes" in Denmark. I think the more recent addition of electric assists made them explode in popularity and other brands became more popular.
Omicron is an evolution in the spike, which is what the mRNA exclusively focused on (and assumed would not evolve).

That’s why the mRNA vaccines aren’t super effective for it.
runahead is brilliant but it relies on save states being trivially fast to create, which isn't broadly true especially as you get to newer & newer consoles. And strictly speaking needs to be adjusted on a per-game basis as it really depends on the game's internal latency in responding to button presses.

But that also doesn't necessarily offset the latency of getting inputs into the emulator in the first place or in getting video frames from the emulator to the display.
Well, in the link that you shared, Tony Hoare explains in quite some detail why having support for null pointers is not great.

Additionally, a *Vec3 is more than `Vec3` or `null`. For example, the following code will behave very differently based on whether optionalVec is Vec3 or *Vec3.

optionalVec := Vec3{0, 0, 0}
foo(optionalVec)
fmt.Printf("theVec: %+v", optionalVec)
// would print {0, 0, 0} with an Optional[Vec3] type
// will actually print {2, 0, 0} with *Vec3
...

func foo(optionalVec *Vec3) {
if optionalVec != nil {
optionalVec.x += 2 //we use a different origin
}
[...]
}
The thing is, tensorflow has more ability to run cross platform.

I help maintain https://github.com/capitalone/DataProfiler

Our sensitive data detection library is exported to iOS, android, and Java; in addition to Python. We also run distributed and federated use cases with custom layers. All of which are improved in tensorflow.

That said, I’d use pytorch if I could. Simply put, it has a better user experience.

The traditional, centuries or even millenia-old way of dealing with the commons was a set of customs and practices that resisted both the monied lords and the indigent local fool. These were resilient across an extraordinary long time, but the way in which industrial capitalism leveraged and facilitated greed defeated most of them, leading (in the late 20th century) to a belief in "the tragedy of the commons" and very confused thinking about how a commons could function.
My kids are already (occasionally) preferring virtual goods over physical ones. Having the right stuff in Fortnite and Movie Star Planet is the thing.
