Agreed. I find IDA to be much better than Ghidra for common things: Windows C++ or Delphi applications and ARM Objective-C where the heuristic guided decompiler really shines and Ghidra gets lost easily.

For the obscure architectures Ghidra does support, it's way better than IDA by virtue of having a decompiler alone. Even if the decompilation is subtly wrong, the broad strokes are so much easier to navigate that finding the right method to go through by hand is much easier.

And once you dive into Ghidra's P-Code IR and more advanced plugin support and move beyond existing IDA plugins, it's honestly better than IDA for things nobody has done before.

Now, there are some obscure architectures like C167 for which we still lack a working Ghidra processor model, but this is only a matter of time - and once it comes, it will already be way ahead of IDA!
I love this. It's hilariously written at the same time that it shows building something that is useful into a business without worrying about whether it would scale to Unicorn size.

On the downside, the Moleskin IDE the custom one the author had made in China are extremely biased against people with bad handwriting. More attention to accessibility may be required.

Seriously though this seems great if you have a bunch of notes and journals that you'd like to digitize. I have a small journal with my own recipes from over the years, and digitizing it has been in the back of my mind for a while-- if Paper Website can defeat my astoundingly awful handwriting.
Agreed, it means the claims are disputed
> they should fix reported vulnerabilities

One could claim that they do, always, in the newer versions of the OS, which are almost universally incremental improvements based on the older versions.

Not supporting old hardware is something that all companies [1] eventually must do, since resources are limited.

I don't think Apple or Windows would be a good choice, if openness is a feature you're looking for.

The movie Body of Lies showed some clever counter-surveillance tricks like in this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeciZ5_hFTY

Probably not realistic but thought provoking still.
That may be the topic but that first sentence reads like they are aiming to have a high number of mentions not a quality of content. For instance you can replace the second and third mentions of “PyTorch and Tensorflow” with something like “the two” or “they both.”

This is spot-on, and I think he is right.

Fossil Fuel resources are a limited resource, and we've pretty much burned up all the easy pickings. So, aside from the obvious carbon problems, we've effectively squandered most of this resource on transport and burning for heating.

These resources should be conserved for exactly these uses — like flying — where a very high mass-energy density is essential.

We need to stop burning it for anything stationary, and most things that roll or float. Direct electric at lower power densities are at this point in history fairly straightforward to swap in (acknowledging that this still is a lot of work), requiring few true breakthroughs.

When fossil fuel use is just down to the few true high mass-energy density applications, CO2 generation won't be a problem.

So, overall this "what's your carbon footprint" thing is just successful deflection by the oil companies to shift blame from the producing side (who CAN do something about it) to the consuming side, who can only choose among available alternatives.
why do you think this link is appropriate in HN?
We have mitigation strategies. Vaccines. We've had them for a year. Anybody can get them. Boosters even. You can even mix & match your preferred make & model at this point!

We don't need any further mitigation strategies. Vaccines were the only real mitigation strategy we ever had.
>For the first few months of 2020, media outlets were constantly downplaying the threat of pandemic. They consistently under-reported the risk. "Should we be worried? No! The threat is remote!"

This hasn't been my experience, in fact the British government's SAGE (Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies) was advising the government to lean on the press in order to increase 'the perceived level of personal threat' early in the pandemic[1]. I really do think the use of behavioural psychology to encourage compliance with government policy is one of the lesser-discussed aspects of the pandemic that future historians will correctly give more importance to than we did at the time. In all honesty this isn't so much a criticism of how the British government acted during the pandemic but how it acts in general. This institutional bent towards the manipulative is partially what led us into the unmitigated disaster that is the War on Terror in my opinion, consent for which largely stemmed from a state of fear among the general public made worse by poor journalistic norms.

>Another angle is making people feel good: "everything is fine, don't worry about anything!"

I've not seen a single bit of serious journalism along those lines, it's either been 'COVID is going to kill us all and it's the plaguebearing hordes of the unvaccinated who are to blame' or 'The government is turning totalitarian and it's the fault of out-of-touch bureaucrats that need to be removed' (the article I linked is very much a member of that species). I've come across very little in the way of sober analysis, almost every piece of journalism I've come across on the topic carries some kind of moral judgement against $group in it. The point I'm making is that moral judgement sells and feels good to dole out to people you don't like, but it also robs us of a little humanity every time we do it.

That would make sense but been the originally strains did not overwhelm hospitals. New York has the highest and craziest number of cases and deaths at the beginning and didn’t put one person onto the ship that was provided for temporary beds. Hospitals did not run out of beds and now the biggest problem is running out of staff, the same as every industry. At our local hospital all of the nurses quit for better, higher paying jobs. We’re running at less hospital labor than even pre pandemic, aren’t building new hospitals, and the highest peaks in cases and deaths were while the strictest lockdowns and mask mandates were already in place. There is complete fear overload and yet all attempts at preventing spread, even vaccines, have failed. They reduce symptoms but do not stop the spread. That’s how contagious this virus is, without any symptoms whatsoever people are spreading the virus, even with masks on, and limits on how close they can be to people. We now have vaccines, we have even pills that have been approved, we also know healthy lifestyle fights against it, yet we are still in a 2 year long “state of emergency.” Letting it rip through is not an option we can choose, it will happen regardless of what we do.

Tapes are awkward though, since they can't directly satisfy the same random-access use-cases. E.g. even GCS's 'Archive' storage class, for the coldest of the cold, offers sub-second retrieval, so there's at least one copy on HDD or similar at any time.

Tapes are suitable for tape-oriented async-retrieval products (not sure if any Clouds have one?), or for putting _some_ replicas of data on as an implementation detail if the TCO is lower than achieving replication/durability guaranteed from HDD alone. But that still puts a floor on the non-tape cold bytes, where this sort of drive might help.
Because it's cheaper and easier to build a wall. We can not continue to take in the rest of the world virtually unvetted. Does anyone remember there is a pandemic, housing crunch, and rampant inflation occurring in the US. We should focus on our country at the moment.

>thumbnails in the file picker!

Use a decent desktop environment, like Plasma :)

Gnome's file picker is notoriously, offensively bad - to the point that it makes me completely lose trust that any thought has been put into the human factors of the rest of the system. Plasma, on the other hand, continues to surprise with its thoughtful and accommodating design choices.

Yes, there is reliability analysis involved which invokes probability. However, that's not the case with the items I mentioned above.

It would be one thing if SpaceX tested the material coupon and found it within specs, but by sheer probability, the strut had a portion of its material structure that was anomalous. That's what you're talking about. What I'm talking about is there are specific process steps that would have caught those mistakes above, and those processes were just not performed. Neither of the cases mentioned above are the result of "We did everything right, but the probability gods were just not on our side."
Ghidra's existance is a bit unfortunate, really. While it was released relatively recently, it's already a dated product permanently stuck with a clunky UI. And by being free, it'll create an extremely high bar for possible commercial products to clear. Combined with the extremely small market of low-cost SRE tools (so small in fact, that Hopper's author decided against porting their tool to Windows), we'll be stuck with IDA and Ghidra (and all their idiosyncrasies) for the next decade at least. Which is a damn shame.
There's no particular reason to believe this. It's just as likely as "space aliens did it" at this point, until there's more evidence in any given direction.
If crashing cryptocurrencies was high on the list of major government priorities, they would have already done it.

Crypto has no value whatsoever in "creating support for fiat". Fiat is supported by trillions of dollars of debts and taxes that must be paid in it. Next to that, the crypto ecosystem is tiny, unstable, not closely tied to any one particular currency and not particularly useful in generating economic growth. If there was no crypto approximately the same amount of fiat would be in circulation, possibly a little less.

I do like the creativity in imagining that somehow it's not fellow cryptoenthusiasts manipulating the markets though.

Mine had. Not less than 24hours before the story emerged. Which result in 2 things: loss of trust in public authorities public faces ("omicron is a christmas gift !") and loss of trust in the scientific public faces ("omicron may be milder").
Most people are giving technical explanations. But actually its very non-technical and deliberate. For some historical reason astronaut office space biology gained primacy in the NASA after Apollo. The reason they never seriously considered artificial gravity is because THEY WANT TO STUDY MICROGRAVITY. The whole goal of station is to solve micro-gravity research and human medical research is the most important of those.

Its not a goal of the station to figure out how to most efficiently keep humans alive in space. Its simply a great reason to stay in LEO and do research for 50-100 years.

There is a reason many space advocates since the 60s have pushed for artificial gravity research and almost nothing has been done. Its political. The technical problems are approachable and solvable but it has not political base unfortunately.
All that you've mentioned is likely just a busy work unless you are willing to start a revolution: there are people making a profit due to the status quo and they won't give up peacefully.

People still live too good to support a radical change that could save the modern civilization during the climate change.
Regarding the zeitgeist change: don’t you think that expectation windows for results based on success of disrupting markets by tech have shrunk to a point where it’s not possible for a more long term and complex projects (biology being one of them) to attract enough talent? I feel like such changes are only possible based on big crises
That website is STUNNING. WOW.
This. There is such a huge chasm between mass death, and practically any other consequence of climate change. As long as mass death doesn't occur, people will adapt to what happens (and it may be rather unpleasant, to be sure...)

A huge loss of biodiversity is a massive tragedy, but as far as our grandchildren being "fine," people have lived for basically all of history in circumstances much worse than they're likely to encounter.
This isn't quite true. Jax works well for "quasistatic" code, but can't handle more dynamic types of problems (see https://www.stochasticlifestyle.com/useful-algorithms-that-a... for a more detailed explanation).

Jax is definitely the right direction for the python ecosystem, but it can't solve all your problems. At some point you still need a fast language.
I tried 2 and 3 monitors and then I realized I don't like moving my neck / chair.

I use i3 and now I have 10 monitors just in front of my eyes. I can easily switch windows, move an window to the front, side by side it's fantastic.
Usually my applications have a default windows in which they open, switching to a specific application is muscle memory now. No mouse movement, no head movement. Just eyes and fingers coordination.

I usually have 8+ opened applications at the same time (editor, multiple terminals, mails, browser, chat) everything is in its right place.

Since my eyes can't look at two thing at the same time, no need to display everything. It's easier to press the shortcut to switch windows than to move my head.

>to just advise people to be safe and stay home if sick.

I'm not here to argue the medical science, as I am not a doctor and if you are, you have not disclosed it.

My point was you assume people are being sadistic and want all of this shit. No one wants everything going on, they just believe it is for the best. Or they don't care, as you pointed out. Neither of these is what you said at first; that people desire this "awful hell".
Obviously, but it does on one of the three platforms they list as supported. Also I wrote more words after the part.
it's overall less likely to reproduce because we take measures against covid collectively. What spreads more unhindered, covid or the common cold?

A disease that spreads before it's symptomatic may not face negative selection pressure for some individuals, but on the aggregate people wear masks, avoid contact, even entered lockdowns, are more likely to obtain vaccination, and so on.

There's a stronger behavioral response to a more deadly covid than there is to one that is entirely harmless. It's not just death that reduces rates of transmission, and it's not just sick or symptomatic people who avoid contact.
Just tax the crap out of it. If it's a scarce limited resource, then market can regulate it pretty well.
It actually has two similar statements in the policy:

- False or misleading information regarding the safety or science behind approved or authorized COVID-19 vaccines, such as:
- The vaccines will cause you to be sick, spread the virus, or would be more harmful than getting COVID-19.
[...]
- False or misleading claims that people who have received the vaccine can spread or shed the virus (or symptoms, or immunity) to unvaccinated people.

> recipe for year three of this crap

Only in places that continue to consider covid the only problem society should focus on. It might be hard for some to imagine but we cannot continue to put the world on hold for exactly one specific form of illness.

For one thing, we've created a pandemic of untreated mental illness. All these people I see walking their dogs at night on a rainy day alone on the street wearing a mask with foggy glasses are gonna have a hard time getting over this... All the people who haven't left their house in two years are gonna need some help. People have lost their minds and it is gonna take a while to heal.

completely agree with you - at this point, if we can coexist with covid, it'll hopefully become more and more like the common flu
> We're past the sustainable carraying capacity because we have already brought about mass extinction events, irreversible destruction of habitat and environment with our existing population

People drove megafauna extinct before they invented the wheel. Great Britain lost most of its forest, irreversibly (for at least next few millennia), before Romans arrived. Romans, in turn, demolished half of Europe worth of forests to support iron production. Taking that argument seriously it means that "the sustainable carrying capacity" is way below what we had in 300 BCE.

Alternatively, it just suggests that there is no inherent carrying capacity, it's always of function of technology. As technology changes, the carrying capacity increases. Thankfully, our technology improves faster than ever before in the last few centuries and continues to accelerate. This suggests your core assumption is likely to become obsolete in not too distant future, even if it isn't now.
The misspelling means two different things to two categories of people... Those who haven't worked in electronics manufacturing are highly likely to say "oh it's just an honest mistake".

Those who have worked in electronics manufacturing will immediately see it as a possibly scary sign of counterfeit components making their way into the supply chain. Same as what happened with counterfeit capacitors in east asia. Much like the early 1980s Van Halen tour example linked above, it's a reason for hitting the big red "OKAY, STOP EVERYTHING" button and re-check of all of the other components and supply chain going into the product.
C++. C++40 standard will have some great new shiny stuff, but most of the industry will still stuck with C++32.
I've considered it. If I went that route, I'd probably use zstandard instead of PKWARE .zip (even though python stdlib has the zipfile interface built in). Zst is waaay faster, the API is more modern and actually architected from the ground up, supports parallel block processing, it's got rfc8878. It's quite nice. I'd have to still implement the object model on top of the block storage.

With low compression levels, you can actually tune things to get faster write times than raw bytes, depending on CPU speed vs IO speed. So that's cool.

> when you encounter people that clearly suck at what they do, and they’re 1-2 levels above you

I think this is a logical contradiction. If there exists people that you are in a position to judge their competence you deserve to be in their position or higher, therefore it cannot be that they are 1-2 levels higher than you.
Having a ship and a launcher capable of reaching the telescope is a bit different of being able to service it. I understand that just planning and preparing a mission on this scale, with current technology and processes, would take more time than the service life of the telescope itself.

Also, AFAIK, Crew Dragon does not have airlocks or other resources for EVAs. Not sure it the capsule can be evacuated for that too. But I would like more information in this issue ... could not find too much from reliable sources for now.
I agree with you, and I wonder what would take for people to stop having Electron as their first choice when implementing a GUI app. I guess there's no other killer cross-platform library that is as friendly for GUI, maybe?
