If I understand it correctly, the FED currently has 6.3 Trillion dollars out in the market.

Adding 12x60 Billion next year would increase that by 11%, right?

Does that mean we can expect prices to go up another 11%?
That's not redacted, it's just a dither.
13. We’re never going to get the broader SE culture to care about things like performance, compatibility, accessibility, security, or privacy, at least not without legal regulations that are enforced. [3] And regulations are written in blood, so we’ll only get enforced legal regulations after a lack of accessibility kills people.

[3] ...I think the killing has to be directly and obviously attributable to the software. Something that would cause a media sensation.

Since we're talking uncomfortable truths: BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

That was blamed on a bad UI/UX at the time, and nobody died, but there was never even talk of regulation. Credit Cards on the web got PCI DSS regulation because money, not because of people dying. Money has to be tied to "things like performance, compatibility, accessibility, security, or privacy" not lives.

Also, the recent Boeing 737 Max scandal resulted in a payment but no regulation.

With that logic, you can do anything and it’s A-OK if nothing you do succeeds.
I don't think you're wrong about how people perceive this. But, it's funny because at my "top-ranked" CS college you could absolutely graduate having coded the exact same guided CS projects as everyone else (about 2 years worth of classes, which, granted, is more time than most coding schools).

You _could_ take electives with complicated freeform projects, or that mimicked actual software engineering, or that focused on the state of the art in various CS specializations, but you didn't need to.
It's not something I'd do, but I admit that it's a more amusing approach and I could see it being effective.
You only "have" to monitor Tesla's AP for liability purposes.

If the only difference between Level 2 and Level 3 is whether or not you have to monitor it, then I think its just market buzz, and Mercedes will kill someone because they'll claim that their system didn't need to be monitored, so someone won't, and it will make a mistake and someone will die.

Limited to 37 mph with the claim you don't need to monitor it means someone is going to be in heavy traffic, activate it, then fall asleep. When traffic clears up and they're still sleeping, they're going to get rear-ended when the car is putting along at 37 mph while everyone else is going 60+.
Here's the best I can find[1]. It very much depends on the state, but that constitutional analysis says that it's possible the relaxed search rules could even apply to individual hunters or fishers. I can't find any definitive court rulings either way on specifically searching a freezer inside a house, but in other cases the courts have generally been deferential to the state's interest in protecting its wildlife. Plenty of hunters have experienced such searches, so it's a real problem.

Why then have these interior searches never been challenged? One reason might be that these abuses virtually exclusively affect low income suburban and rural white men. They don't have the resources to take a case to the SCOTUS. The prestige media is uninterested in advocating for them and the ACLU and other pro bono law firms don't prioritize that demographic either. Given the choice of paying hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket to litigate or pleading to a misdemeanor and paying a $1,000 fine, so far everyone has chosen the latter.

I'm not saying it's not a huge deal.

I wouldn't consider your relative necessarily treatment resistant. I'm talking about those of us who have been left behind. In my case, that's 15+ plus of over 30 medication trials (following the STAR-D algorithm as well), failed bilateral ECT, TMS, ketamine IV, trigeminal nerve stimulation, and more. I'm on disability for the depression.

I'm not trying to invalidate your relative's situation but there are also people who have been stuck in the system for years like me and we need NEW OPTIONS. As I said, both things can be true. TMS being made faster is good, but we can't stop there, and that's my perspective on the article with someone with my lived experience. Not everyone knows someone this treatment resistant so I'm offering my unique experience about it. Your relative's experience and anyone who has tried a few meds or even hasn't and wants to try TMS is valid and I'm happy this exists. What I'm saying is that for the smaller population like me who has already been left behind this isn't going to help that much.

ARM SBC's will always lag Intel in the single most important factor - software.

Unless some large corporation(s) get serious about spending on money on first class Linux implementations - and there's no sign of that.

The best ARM software is the community developed ARMbian, but that's not enough to tempt me to buy anything except Raspberry Pi.

Raspberry Pi's greatest strength is its first class software.

The weird thing is that none of the ARM device vendors seem to realise that "it's all about the software".
1) Identifying the 10% is key

2) moving the crap line from 90% to 89% is a 10% increase is the supply of non-crap.

3) if you want more non-crap in your life, you need to increase your cross sectional area with your target universe and regress to the mean.

1/10 being non-crap is pretty good, go with it.
Well, that and the explanation is missing the details. Conceptually being able to construct something like that from XOR and NOT primitives is stuff from undergrad computer engineering curriculum. But it's certainly a respectable feat to find this combination of compression format and the vulnerability therein of all the supported formats, and think to apply it like this.

> The UHHB has very few points that are still valid.

I disagree. Yes, nobody uses sendmail anymore, filesystems vastly improved and X isn't a resource hog any more. I've reread it some months ago and the main points still hold.

For example the part about `kill`:

Most operating systems have a “kill” command. So does Unix. In
most operating systems, the kill command kills a process. The Unix
implementation is much more general: the “kill” command sends a
process a message. This illustrates the first Unix design principle:
• Give the user power by making operations fully general.
The kill command is very powerful; it lets you send all sorts of messages to
processes. For example, one message you can send to a process tells it to
kill itself. This message is -9. -9 is, of course, the
largest single-digit message, which illustrates another important
Unix design principle:
• Choose simple names that reflect function.
This is sad but true. Some of my best hires have been self taught, but I only took a chance on them because of they were able to demonstrate their knowledge of fundamentals, (in ways very similar to this post). Having a degree from a reputable school usually means candidates have that foundation already, and it is much less of a risk as far as hiring. This post should almost be "how to stand out if you don't have a degree".
It can in fact link gcc-ada specific things and others.
MacBooks used to have a key combination (left cmd shift option and power) that could be used to kill power instantly. In the schematics, these keyboard keys were hard wired to the SMC microcontroller's reset line, which would remove all voltage to the motherboard upon reset.

With the T2, this still exists, but you need to wait more seconds and use a 2step combination. This is a pain because you can no longer use it to do an emergency shutdown.

a degree does not make you a better engineer, does not bring you more luck and does not equate to actual experience

it does not guarantee you a job either

Entirely do-able by a team of experts with multimillion dollar budgets over the course of probably many months, doesn't sound at all similar to average hn commenter being able to do it before lunch.
It's more than a social fact. It's a consequence of living in a physical reality with physical wants and needs that require action to be satisfied. The best we can do is move the work around, and have someone else do it. (We can harness physical forces to take care of most of the work in the force-times-distance sense, but we're still a long way from moving the rest.) And the ultimate problem with moving it around so that we don't have to do any of it will be that it is likely to result in some outside entity having outsized power over our lives.

Google doesn't really build things or have product management. They need to acquire. So I expect them to do that if/when things get serious and they realize how far behind they are. There will probably be money to be made if we can identify the best fit names for them.
Understanding the underlying math is not required really. You may just believe crypto is pure math and its beautiful as such. Like, personally I don't fully understand it - never bothered to study tbh.
Don't confuse free with unregulated. Not even Adam Smith wanted unregulated markets.

I love clips like this that completely remove all context. The building was on fire for hours. If you watch the entire collapse, you see parts of the building collapse at different times. The fires were so intense, flames were shooting out of the windows like a blowtorch. Gigantic chunks of the other two towers pierced the building like swords.
Nah, just appeal to the simulation theory. ie. "I believe the Computer scientist running this simulation added the vaccine side quest as a test of gullibility and trust of big govt and big pharma."
I don't know about your school the projects we worked on compared to a boot camp were very different. For example, one boot camp a friend took spent an entire 4 week session iterating on a single project, that would have been a 1 week homework assignment at my school. I think that the high level courses are able to go much deeper due to their respective topics than "coding" specific schools that are faster. It's my opinion that the majority of learning took place in those late night lab sessions trying to meet a deadline, and not in the classroom.
Dark matter is a set of observations; we have a dozen or so hypotheses to explain those observations that we cannot yet rule out.
The best part of this is that even if one believes jet fuel burning for many hours led to the collapse of at least one of the buildings (I don't buy this argument), in the basements of the collapsed towers where the 47 central support columns connected with the bedrock, hot spots of "literally molten steel" were discovered more than a month after the collapse. Such persistent and intense residual heat, 70 feet below the surface, in an oxygen deprived environment, cannot be explained by combustion. On the other hand, thermite contains its own supply of oxygen and does not require any external source of air. Consequently, it cannot be smothered, and may ignite in any environment given sufficient initial heat. It burns well while wet, and cannot be easily extinguished with water—though enough water to remove sufficient heat may stop the reaction.

this research claims:

> people who have achieved a high level of business expertise have a deep understanding of the following three core areas: (1) factors involved in effective operations, (2) forces influencing the market, and (3) those driving business finance and economic climates

these information sources are, in a sense, 'ideas', but they are discovered through execution

softer version of this claim is that 'ideas' come from market research, and market research is not that different from execution
>We don’t have the Alan Kay / Free Software / Hypercard dream of everybody having control over their own computer because integrating with disparate APIs is really fucking hard and takes a lot of work to do.

A couple weeks ago there was a conversation here about software in the 90s where the argument was proposed that as an industry, software veered off in the wrong direction somewhere along the way. When I read the above from the article, there's a part of me that starts feeling this...we have all this horsepower in both hardware and software such that it should be as "easy" for people to make software in the same way they can now make pictures, music, and videos without needing hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in a movie or recording studio. Like, these are mutually exclusive points - you can have APIs that maybe are a step beyond, but does that mean that all software must be hard to write? I was telling my son just last night about how people did all these cool, unexpected things with Hypercard back in the day. It didn't need to be perfect, it didn't need to be "enterprise grade" because it was easy to make and was good enough for what people wanted to do.
It's my understanding that the signal client which is sending the image reads the jpg/png/whatever image file from local storage, recompresses it local client side, and then sends the smaller version.

> The problem with signalling is that high value signalling is expensive.

That's the point!

If it was cheap, it isn't high value.

If it isn't high value, it isn't going to distinguish you.

In my opinion, as someone who has talked and interviewed new devs, it is better for the average junior dev to focus on 10 companies, learn about their business, research their team and tech, and apply, than to send 1000 resumes to companies at random.
Stack traces exist in go[1], I'm not sure why you consider exceptions to be the only way of getting a stack representation.

Not to mention that traditional exception handling advice I've been handed down from the gray beards is to always handle exceptions as early as possible, which is exactly what go forces you to do with their approach.

Google Play has suspended my account for months
So, I uploaded some apps through fiverr gig and as I had no source code of the apps or I didn't develop them myself, I was unaware of some things that were incorporated in the app itself. A morning, a mail came from Google saying that your dev account has been suspended and will not be re-instated. I tried to make multiple requests/appeals but it seems like those are getting reviewed by some bots and now I can't even register a new one because they will ban that too (as mentioned in their email). I even submit all the docs of fiverr and the person who gave me those apps to submit and mailed to google. What else can I do to uplift the ban ?

I wasn't clear, sorry. I'm not saying people may be investing because they appreciate the math. It's not about the motivation as much as it's about reconciliation, or let's say finding the common denominator in debates. On some abstract philosophical level we can all agree that because crypto currencies are pure math they are beautiful as such. Knowingly or not, people invest and trade the power and beauty of mathematics. Just a neat meta-idea, that's all.
>a degree does not make you a better engineer, does not bring you more luck and does not mean actual experience

You are right, but it does show that you can stick to something and finish it, that you most likely have at least a baseline knowledge of the subject, and that you are committed to the field.

I'm not even saying that it has to be a CS degree, but having a CS degree is definitely bonus for an applicant.
I don't know. I wish the government would also realize a summary of the important information and why it was classified for so long. Looking at this stuff a lot of it seems random or meaningless but then I wonder why they didn't declassify it on schedule.
You are just making up ridiculous claims that don't pass even a basic sniff test, much less ant tiny amount of skeptical inquiry.

Turkey’s Underground Cities
Yeah, the inertia is the real killer here. I'd love to see a fully embedded solution (particularly given that ecosystems like Go and Rust discourage sidecar files like manpages), but thus far the only one I've really seen is individual tools supporting a `--completions=SHELL` style argument that spits out an `eval`-able script for the requested shell.

The real dream would be some kind of standard way for a program to indicate that it's opting into more intelligent CLI handling without any execution. I've thought about trying to hack something like that together with a custom ELF section, but that wouldn't fly for programs written in scripting languages.
