My (late) point is that when people speak about "on-prem" these days, they are not talking about building corporate datacenters on campus.

30 years ago when you talked on-prem that's what this meant. It's now shifted to on-prem meaning your own hardware in massive shared facilities that handle all that "hard stuff" like redundant power and cooling for you.

Bespoke datacenter builds for true-on prem certainly exist, but it's not what that term typically means any longer - at least in my line of business. When I'm selling racks of colo now, my customers are calling that their on-prem facilities.

In fact a large part of my previous business was dismantling true "on-prem" facilities to move to such large shared wholesalers.

What a blast from the past feeling. I've never used this specific tool but I think there is/was something in Windows to do this? Through college in the late 90's and into my first few jobs in software engineering, there was a minor zeitgeist across my first few companies to diligently leave a description behind on your screen if you were going to be away for a while. It was a scene full of personality and power.

'Find me in the kitchen' was a courteous thing to do. 'Bob left his machine unlocked, bozo!' built camaraderie. Not seeing a message, combined with long absence, was a sense of dread. You could publicly wrap a middle finger in a heart: 'Canned. But I still love you all!'. Like a Post-It note, it said something about the person whose machine it was on. But its magnitude, beaming out of a miraculous cathode ray tube, was meant for and captured the attention of everyone walking by. You could reach and influence an audience you otherwise weren't welcome to speak so candidly to. I may have built crucial favor and long term work relationships from a silly quip. I couldn't possibly say for sure.

Now having worked mostly remote for half a decade, I miss it. This interesting slice of subculture has decomposed into messenger apps thanks to common availability of satellite-enabled-computers-in-pockets. And @here is a painfully poor substitute.

UK is not one country, is a union of 4 countries.

I suspect by the above what the OP means is that in the next round of elections, Scotland is probably going to split out from the UK and rejoin the EU, and then the shit will really hit the fan.
They used taxpayers money to build the thing, which means they've left aside just enough for a barebones show, and hopefully every last dime has been invested in the project, and that is exactly how it should be.

If you spend more on marketing, you spend less on science. It's called a "budget".
Narcissism != Narcissistic Personality Disorder. A person that lacks narcissism will have a lot of problems.
It depends a lot on how often you’re trying to do it and the conditions you’re doing it under. I’ve worked on a couple of projects where I own an agent process that runs on thousands of machines that are not mine (so I have no control of whether they are overloaded or in some pathological state), some of which are bumping up against memory and/or cpu and or IO limits, and a single blocking system call is many orders of magnitude more practical than the overhead of fork/exec and the dozens or hundreds of blocking system calls and memory allocations that entails.

This is, of course, an extreme example. But there are definitely cases where it matters a lot.
That's irrelevant. What happens to the city is not going to keep the UK afloat in the long term.

The attempt to reposition the UK as a tax shelter is going to make a very small group of people extremely rich but for the average UK citizen it won't matter one bit.
Ask HN: Is Web 3.0 just crypto or something more?
Whenever I search and learn for web 3.0 people limit it to blockchain based solutions and apps. However, the core ethos of web 3.0 is about decentralisation, shouldn't it also encompensate technologies like edge computing which are decentralising ownership of compute and data back to devices.
What’s crazy is that for $10-15k you can have a really professional looking website, instead it looks like they dropped about $2-5k for a half-built, broken looking one.
Since we're all under permanent unoverseen surveillance anyway, why not use it for something actually good?
Thanks for this playlist. The part describing time blindness and intention deficit hit me on the head. The lack of accountability truly is one of my worst enemies. If I have a task that doesn't have immediate accountability I will not perform it as soon as I should. Looks like I finally found my issue and I can start working on it. You changed my life with just a hyperlink.
I recommend this book https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/3319155237?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_... . It makes a clear case why trying to aim certain objective, when it comes to innovation, doesn't necessarily work and we still need "aimless wandering" and the pursuit of pure knowledge is a good guidance when it comes to that.
also, never forget CP/M:

USB-C power delivery allows the device to request voltages other than 5v, up to 20v. Since the voltages differ, the ports cant all share one big 5v rail and need dedicated voltage converters. The power limits come from both the individual converters and the big master AC-DC converter upstream from them.

Wait until the people in the apartment on fire die? (Either it starts in an apartment, or a common are which would block the escape of inhabitants living on there or higher)
Exact opposite for me. LSD is nice, but the visuals can be overwhelming. The visuals on mushrooms, for me are more “organic” I guess, and the mental state more natural. I haven’t done either in over a decade, but that’s what I remember. I used to do a heroic dose of mushrooms once a week - the feelings of euphoria once you peek and the subtle visuals were amazing.

It’s also possible to go to sleep on mushrooms once you’re at the end of your trip, as the trip is really a lot shorter. I remember lying awake in my bed on LSD with the room melting around me, wondering if it would ever end, just wishing that I could go to sleep.

Edit: As far as being alone with your experience - I had a lot of friends that preferred LSD over mushrooms. It’s really a personal preference as to which one suits you best.
It’s not my job as an individual to solve systemic issues. I’m not willing to pay for news. Usually I don’t bypass paywalls, but when I do I don’t feel bad about it
It's not apples-to-oranges, it's apples-to-less-carefully-selected-apples. The Hoeg paper mentions a broader case-finding method, but "We otherwise
maintained the specificity of our analysis by requiring the same objective findings of cardiac injury used by the CDC to identify probable cases (Supplement 1) and excluded cases without sufficient objective evidence of cardiac-specific injury." The 7 cases in the blog are highlighted to demonstrate that this is clearly not true; they have not excluded cases without sufficient evidence of cardiac-specific injury in line with the CDC. So no, that criticism is not unfounded.

You've dismissed as apples-to-oranges the 2x difference in numbers between the two publications using VAERS data, then linked a third paper using different data (which isn't available in full; who knows what their inclusion criteria were) that shows another 2x discrepancy as evidence that the findings are in general concurrence? Would you have me believe that's not actually an apples-to-oranges comparison? Why not this paper[1] out of Canada the gives a rate of 97/million for the group most closely matching your 370/million number? Or this one[2] out of Israel with 137/million.

> Britons felt that citizens from poor EU countries shouldn't have equal rights.

Let's see how that line holds up a while from now. The UK had substantial benefits from being in the EU, without those the wealth disparity could become significant in a very short time.
That is a very common misconception about the military. The uniform makes life easier. I never have to worry about fashion. I never have to figure out what is or is not appropriate attire for a specific meeting. It is very liberating.

>> about making an effort at dressing that correlates with wanting to make a bigger effort in general.

If you want to make the effort, military uniforms allow that too. The military is full of people who put that extra effort into their uniforms every day. They have the mirror-polished boots, the perfectly-fitted shirts. Their patches and ribbons are always perfect. Their beret is moulded into that perfect shape. The average civi cannot spot it but everyone on a base can see who wears the uniform best.

Every drill sergeant is a diva. Every fighter pilot a slob who hasn't polished a boot since basic.
Code review and coding standards are needed for any project in any language. If people try to write unreadable C++, just don’t allow it.
I created a simple tool folks could run locally to auto-run their PA.c drive on their PC. But you could just set Windows to open Explorer to the drive contents automatically and then double-click Start.exe, so it wasn't a huge inconvenience. And soon after we started working with cloud drives, too. And local. So it gradually became less relevant anyway. I even ditched the old autorun.inf files since some folks didn't know how to rename their drives after.
Right, this does very little to actual stop spam, it just makes them change up how they operate. It's key to realize that almost the only people who actually keep up with all the hoops you have to jump through to get a good rating are the actual spammers, to the point where my search engine rewards not following Google's rules with the result of getting an amazing signal-to-noise ratio with very little spam. That is, the most reliable hint that a website is SEO spam is that it religiously adheres to Google's recommendations.

Of course, this inversion only works if you're an underdog. Big search engines are fucked by their own success.
When did I attack the people themselves? It's the Party I said should be stood up against.
> And the North would never had existed without USSR and China’s backing. I’m not sure what your point is?

The liberated themselves from Japanese and then French control, with limited ( some arms) outside help, so that's just false.
Another aspect of this: Rejecting such a change, or indefinitely leaving it hanging as open, is a much worse look than simply ignoring all the complaints (which is already bad enough but has more plausible deniability). Providing a ready-to-merge PR is effectively pushing them to take a public stance.
You should see how HN would react if Google has done anything remotely close to it. If it was Google your comment would be downvoted to oblivion instead of being the top comment. Not to mention you'd be disparaged for protecting your employer.
What you're saying doesn't make any sense. If what you're saying was true you could take any MIT repro, fork it and replace the license with a fully proprietary copyright claim or any other license. You absolutely can't take code and just change the license to anything more permissive without the original copyright holders permission.

It's definitely the case that at a given snapshot of the repository which has copyrighted code owned by someone else the copyright notice has to be there at that same revision.
Financial services is 6.9% of UK GDP, probably more now as covid has affected things like tourism.

Irrelevant?

Please back up your argument with more than just claiming that the state of financial services is irrelevant to the UK, and that it's about tax sheltering. I think you've been reading one side of a political argument for a long time.
Yes, I agree that readability could have been better.
They didn’t though. Nobody forced them to leave without a reasonable deal, or a reasonable bureaucracy set up to handle it.

They did that all by themselves.

I think they could have gone for a deal similar to the other non-EU but still kind of EU countries like Norway if they wanted. Because of pragmatism, but that’s not what the Brexiteers wanted.
BUT ALL - CAPS TEXT IS EASIEST AND AT LEAST TO ME SOUND RIGHTEOUS ENOUGH. I THINK THIS IS A CLASSIC CASE OF QUOTE IT AIN'T STUPID IF IT WORKS END QUOTE.
With this kind of comment you remind me of the quote from Betrand Russel from the article on the frontpage earlier today:

[...] a great many men will cheerfully face impoverishment if they can thereby secure complete ruin for their rivals.

Ask HN: Remotely helping elderly parents?
I want to help my elderly parents with their computer, but as I live far away, this needs to be done remotely (general stuff, paying bills, etc..)

> Did the NHS get an extra £350mm per week? No

Wrong. Before covid the NHS got an extra £10bn in funding which is almost exactly 350m per week. Since covid its even more. So actually the NHS has gotten more funding since brexit.

The most important resource Scottland brings to the EU is destabilizing the UK, and setting an example for what happens when a country democracy decays down to the point of them making very poor political decisions “at the EU level”.

In the EU nobody cares if you make bad political decisions at the local level, like in Poland or Hungary, but once you create 4 years of painful Brexit negotiations for all other countries involved, then people care about you wasting their time.
One trick to understanding what psychedelics are doing is to recognize that what's happening in those visual effects is also happening to all your other senses and cognitive processes. Having your sense of depth go into a reflective fractal spiral is a fascinating experience. People often hear sound go into a robotic type modulation. The circuits that trigger when you feel the meaningfulness of things go into overdrive.

Smaller thought loops can take you over the exact same sequence of input/ output over the course of several minutes of nothing jars you or if it.
And that makes it okay to make private communication public?

Isn't it hypocrisy to argue to for privacy of the living (HN being pro privacy) but not of the dead.
> there is a good chance that when the dust settles the UK itself will no longer exist

I've heard this proposed as a possibility, but is this generally accepted as an actual, probable outcome? By both sides?

From my perspective (American with no ties to the UK who thought Brexit sounded like a terrible idea), it sounded like it might have been a scare tactic from remainers.
> Wrong. The more links, the easier it is to argue that it's a mistake. Automation is hard, you know?

Is it wrong though? I mean, if Microsoft's reiterated pattern of license switches is automated, wouldn't this also mean that the error would be easily detected based on public feedback alone? And given this was not the first or second or third separate and independent occurrence of this pattern, if this was a honest mistake then wouldn't this already be addressed in any of the multiple past shout-out?
Not sure why you are nitpicking. The point is that it’s no secret that this data is out there any available to anyone. Here’s an article about Toronto Public Health using cellphone data, also from a year ago.

Because it was done intentionally by an employed individual in this case rather than a bot. You cannot in good conscious as an individual make this "mistake" without knowing or acting maliciously unless you are incompetent to begin with. Seems like a growing trend at MS. And I'll remind you that Apple actually uses CUPS for their print backend and funds it directly, they retain the original license and support the project, meanwhile MS takes it, doesn't contribute and acts like it's their own, sick.

The UK government will do what they can to stop it, but the SNP holds the cards as far as I can see. They will be able to extract major concessions or they can hold a referendum which the UK will undoubtedly contest.
Thanks for keeping things in the world running everyone here. I’m at fine with my family but I appreciate your odd hours.
Like other comments, CNNs and LSTMs are still in wide use today. If you dig deep enough, position encoding doesn't really capture time-based series information that well.
Another fun fact about Brahmaputra - it’s the only river in India that doesn’t have a feminine name.

Jesus Christ this community has fallen to shit. Shame on you
Depends on whether you're expecting people to treat the files as "images" that happen to contain other data, and so e.g. upload them to photo-sharing sites, imageboards, etc.; or whether you're expecting people to treat the files as "programs" that happen to render with a thumbnail by default on most Operating Systems.

Personally, I don't see a PICO-8 .p8.png cartridge as an "image" any more than a Fireworks project file is an "image." It's a document that wraps itself in an image container to enable the 'document' to be previewed. It just so happens that you're able to very carefully treat the document as "an image" in some contexts (e.g. if you put it up on your own web server, and then embed the resulting URL in a webpage, people who right-click "Save As..." the 'image' will get the original document.) But this isn't really the goal (since you could do that just as well by generating an ancillary "cover art" file to go with the cartridge, and linking to the cartridge file using the cover art file.) The goal of such embeddings is just to make your document visually "self-describing" when examined with regular OS tools.

Of course, if you're considering designing your own PNG-embedded document format, and sharing the document losslessly via imageboards, photo-sharing sites, etc. is explicitly the goal of your format choice of PNG; then yes, steganography is the way to go.

But, well... if you are going to go the "embed the data in the pixmap" route — why not go all the way? Skip steganography (which will survive re-containerization, but won't survive the slightest lossy re-encoding), and instead just generate a "cover art" image containing a QR code that embeds the document data. Then the document would even survive digital-analogue-digital conversion!

(For the PICO-8 case, if the .p8.png files were simply art containing QR codes that the software could read directly, then a PICO-8 mobile app could support importing cartridges using the camera. Then people could just stick their carts up as posters at indie game conferences, or give them out as business cards.)
Brexit is not even a reason Bojo is unpopular.
the sad part of this article is that

what would be the alternative to the UN?

it is mainly a platform to prevent wars between major world powers. it might be inefficient in a lot of ways, but is far more preferable to wars.
also, having a platform for global diplomatic cooperation is worth quite a lot.
Once upon a time every military asset operated with live rounds. There were no "training" rounds in wartime. What happened in the OP was someone missed a step in an otherwise very normal drill. Want to really scare yourself? Google around for "broken arrows", live nuclear weapons that went missing. Most all of them were live rounds being carried during training. Something went wrong and that live nuke ended up in a field or at the bottom of a lake.
I could buy that reasoning in the 90s. Heck even in 2000 after the dotcom bubble burst. I could maybe buy it in 2010 although by then networking was in no way even remotely niche. We’re now into the third decade of networking and far less important additions to the standard library have been made.

A TS is almost nothing in the c++ world. Each implementation will have its own quirks and unreliable cross platform behavior if it’s even available. There are well established filesystem libraries too (heck the STL implementation is almost identical to boost for that reason to make it easier for those people to port and for the library maintainers you basically just wholesale copy an implementation or at least have a reference one to test most things against).

> Also sockets are arguably an outdated networking model anyway, so people really serious about high-performance networking will be doing their own thing regardless.

I’m eager to hear what you mean by this because I’m unaware of any OS APIs that do Networking in any other way. Unless you’re talking about userspace drivers or DPDK, neither of which see serious adoption outside of data centers (if even there). 99.99% of an networking code I’ve observed across mobile and cloud is socket-based.
Fyi, that's not really true. Areas with actual immigrants were the least likely to vote out. Areas with basically no immigration on the other hand voted out.

All the "reasons" people claimed were red herrings.
As someone on the spectrum myself (in a family that produced 2 others, as well) I still don't really understand what rationally makes all of it "autism". The OP has a section on what we have in common, but it didn't answer my question. Is it a scientific or medical thing? A root cause? Or is it the type of situation where 100 years from now they'll look back and laugh at our archaic psychiatry.
The 'spectrum' has always been an outrageously bad metaphor (with autism and elsewhere in psychology), and this article's approach to 'correcting' that by further extending the metaphor just perpetuates another (even more convoluted and ridiculous) iteration of the confusion.

The use of the color spectrum is especially unhelpful, since the qualitative features of the color spectrum are totally unrelated to what makes it a spectrum, and so the 'distinction' the article tries to draw between a spectrum and a gradient is totally specious. What makes the color spectrum a spectrum is precisely that it's formed by variation along a single dimension (wavelength or frequency, whatever)— the exact structure the article describes as belonging to a gradient as 'opposed' to a spectrum.

The diagrams with parts of the color spectrum blacked out are pure cringe. Why are you making this broken, disanalogous metaphor worse instead of throwing it away??

It's not hard to describe the actual structure of what are (inaptly) called 'spectrum disorders' in contemporary psychology. They are disorders characterized by clusters of related traits, behaviors, and experiences which (variously in terms of severity, frequency, intensity, or something) can each vary in degree.

Please stop trying to 'fix' the spectrum metaphor. Just kill it.
I am on call today too. Fortunately not much has happened today. Last two years it was very different though, with day long conference calls for issues.
