I'm sure the feathers fell off after the things hatch. All dinosaurs are feather-less.
I used to get sick each and every vacation. I stopped using the overhead air nozzle on the flight, and I have had no illness on any vacation since. Airlines and their engineers insist there is no way that that air can transmit colds, but going from 100% to 0% leads me to believe they are wrong.
I suspect if you know you were writing such a test you could have someone refresh your basic long division in relatively short time.

* Scroll jacking - looks pretty, impossible to use.

* Cookie consent - It's both too large and takes to long to find the right action.
This seems like a straw man. I don't think anyone has claimed Go's type system has novel features.

> the reason it took so long was because it came out of an environment with actors (including a part of the community) pushing against the feature.

The reason it took so long is because it simply wasn't the biggest fish to fry. Generics are a massive feature, and there were a lot of other opportunities to deliver more value for considerably less work. Of course, there was a healthy amount of pushback against rushing generics, considering generics must interact with every other feature in the type system even if those features aren't novel.

Frankly, people make too big a deal about generics. It will be a neat quality of life improvement for certain kinds of code, and a lot of additional code will enter the ecosystem which is gratuitously abstract. Builds will probably get a fair bit slower on average while still being fast relative to most other languages. Frankly, no type system feature will ever impact a language as significantly as things like tooling quality, ecosystem, runtime performance, static+native compilation, iteration loop time, learning curve, etc.
Seconds before a 6.2 earthquake rattled California, phones got a warning
Perhaps it may surprise you to learn that many "bad actors" are rather stupid. This is one of the few large advantages that defense has over offense in security matters.
Every time one of these conversations happen I end up thinking to myself that Oxide Computing needs three more competitors and a big pile of money.

AWS maintains a fiction of turnkey infrastructure, and the reality of building your own is so starkly different that I haven't seen an IT group for some time that could successfully push back on these sorts of discussions.

Building your own datacenter is still too much like maintaining a muscle car, fiddly bits and grease under your fingernails all the time, meanwhile the world has moved on, and we now have several options in soccer mom EVs that can challenge a classic Corvette in the quarter mile, and obliterate its 0-60-0 time. There is no Hyundai for the operations people, and there should be.

I don't know the physics of shipping such a thing, but I think we really do need to be able to buy a populated and pre-wired rack and slot it into the data center. Literally slot it in. If you've ever been curious about maritime shipping, you know that they have a system for securing containers to cranes, trailers, each other, and I don't see a reason you couldn't steal that same design for mounting a server rack to the floor. Other than the pins would need to be removable (eg, a bolt that screws into a threaded hole in the floor) so you don't trip on them.

In a word, we need to make physical servers fungible. There are any number of things that we need to do to get there, but I think we can. Honestly I'm surprised we haven't heard more of this sort of talk from Dell, especially after they bought VMWare. This just seems like a huge failure of imagination. Or maybe it's simply a revolution lacking a poster child. At this rate that 'child' has already been born, and we are just waiting to see who it is.

Yes, according to the US gov. I imagine that according to the Ugandan gov, it's ok to hack phones of foreign govs but not of the Ugandan gov. In fact, I strongly suspect that for any nation X, it's ok to hack non-X gov phones but not X gov phones. I don't understand why this surprises anyone.
Why does having unpunished murder hurt the legitimacy of a state if there is no right to life?
I've been following this for a little while. I can't help but feel like it's too little too late. Don't get me wrong - I'm rooting for it. But EVs already have so much momentum. And unlike EVs, which in the worse case can be charged at home (thus not requiring any infrastructure / supply), this solution necessarily requires supply.
At 1%, any extra percentage points represents at least a 2x increase. That's not dramatic? I would think a 10%+ increase would be easily achievable between Glorious PC Gaming Master Race, People What Have Entirely Too Serious Hobbies, and People Who Use Computers For Work if said people actually wanted the Linux Desktop experience.

At any rate, I can't back up my hypothetical quantification of "if Linux fixed some of its most well known issues" gains, it's just a gut feeling from 20 years of interacting with personal computers and the people who use them.
False positives are indeed a major problem with bigtech. Just got into the situation myself when I was traveling to France and wanted to order some food with Deliveroo. Their antifraud systems banned me without any option to prove my legitimacy. Needless to say I just normally wanted to order something to eat, and I later used Uber Eats without any problems. Permanent ban without procedure to correct antifraud false positive (most likely due to my bank card issued outside of France).

I had a Dreamcast and loved it, but the PS2 was an amazing system. The main draw was the massive game library, great online game play, and it doubled as a DVD player. Not sure what else you’d really want?

This is probably true with Google, but AWS contributes > 50% of Amazon's operating income. [1]

That information is under pretty tight lock and key in the UK, perhaps for specifically this reason. I'd say the risk is pretty minimal.
The Internet Is Running Out of Water
The non-profits that interact with my parents church are filled with retirees from useful professions. Their missions to Africa staffed with ex-Seabees and the sort of teachers who built houses in their summers, for example. If a structure needs to be built the volunteers will arrive with hand-powered tools and years of experience actually using them. Everybody involved is pretty darn competent.

I think the closest thing to corruption I've seen has been naive people spending money poorly because they haven't made local contacts themselves.
Actually there was an in-depth article showing that some of these 'spikes' were due to the way in which things were being reported which was recently changed.

I don’t want my family members asking me for money saying “I know how much you make.” I don’t want criminals targeting me knowing my income.
Yes, this. If you’re trying to find a partner on a platform where matches are determined solely by physical attraction, you’re gonna have a hard time if you’re not physically attractive. Know what Tinder is, and be self-aware enough to know if it’s not for you.
The alleged promise of blockchain is that it solves the trust issue. But this discussion you are having proves that NFTs do not solve any trust issue what so ever, you still need to do research to see which NFTs are officially blessed by the creators.

Except ownership is difficult. Eventually the creators will die, and the ownership of their IP will transfer to their estate. Those estates have arguments. If two people, part of a hypothetical estate with a claim on some IP / Artwork / whatever make competing NFTs, how does "blockchain" resolve the issue at all?

Suddenly, we're back to courts and arguments. No technology seems to be able to magic-away the agreements we have with each other as a society.

------------

The other issue is: if you aren't using blockchain for trust, then blockchain is no better than a literal physical certificate. A fancy piece of paper with the signature of the artist.
Many people in commenter are confusing transparency and theft.

Transparency is something that should be regulated by law, but this is a data leak, and it can't be viewed positively.

Dropbox has the exact same policies and procedures, they just don't have the same technical abilities that Google has. Quoting from their AUP:

"...you must not even try to do any of the following ...:

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things is not the same...

What use does a CNC shop have for an extensive on-prem multi-DC with failover and high availability? It'd be like buying your own snowplows to make sure that the road is clear so your employees can get to work. Maybe necessary if you live in a place with very bad snowplows and no existing infrastructure, but in most places, just a waste of money.
> all income should be in the public domain.

Would you mind sharing your passport data and income numbers here so that it becomes public domain?
Eh... "Love your neighbor as yourself" in the context of Leviticus doesn't really have the same meaning as the modern interpretation. It's more like "Love your Israelite neighbour, such that God will continue to favor the Israelites and drive/exterminate your larger scale, non-Israelite neighbors from Canaan."
I probably do underestimate its difficulty, but certainly appreciate it's bloody difficult. Hence I'd love someone else to do it! I don't have the appetite for it, but it would be fantastic to use.
I don't know. I've never needed to talk to a lawyer about it thankfully. If it is something that's explicitly protected then plenty of companies are getting it wrong.
The requirement for state institutions to be transparent, in the Swedish constitution, goes a lot deeper than most other countries.
It is a bit like

void *outer = 0; // outer can be nil
int val = 5;
int *inner = &val; // inner can also be nil
outer = (void*)(&inner) // can have an inner value, inner nil or outer nil

It's a bit more complex. Beyond using a bespoke ~1GB GD-ROM format that normal optical drives can't read, the discs did AFAIK have copy protection of the "wobbly track" variety. So even if you have a GD-Recordable drive and media, you couldn't just copy the games. (Although if you have a GD-R drive you almost certainly had the dev tools to run unprotected games anyway).

Unfortunately they wanted a way to add Dreamcast content to music CDs ("MIL-CD"), which led to a massive holes in the security that meant it would happily boot off CD-Rs. I guess they didn't want to tie record companies to Sega's own duplicators so the CDs don't have any direct copy protection. Instead CD programs are "encrypted" (unlike GD-ROM games) and the disc drive turned off after initial load. Naturally the encryption / scrambling was figured out, and people figured out how to turn the drive back on[1]. Thus fun with piracy and homebrew. Late in the production run they removed the MIL-CD stuff entirely, although the vast majority of systems out there would've been built by then.

(Sorry if I've got any details wrong).

[1] Plus a bonus that the boot sector could contain unchecked extra code that made "self booting" pirate games possible.
I wonder if Wine can be used to run Windows versions of adobe software on linux. The adobe software is the same thing preventing me from switching to using a linux distro full time.
why are all these new variants of sport aircraft appearing at the moment? There must be something in the water because I've seen so many re-interpretations of the flying car in the past year or two. They look cool in movies but how are they at all a practical method of transportation outside of being toys for the ultra-rich?
Back from the era when MIPS was exciting. The PlayStation 2 has a 64-bit MIPS III processor (with some MIPS IV stuff), which was really cool before x86 ate the world. You can still see support for the PlayStation 2 in GCC + Binutils (unlike the PlayStation or Nintendo 64… even though those systems both both have MIPS II or MIPS III processors, they aren’t really big enough to run a more modern OS comfortably, and don’t have Ethernet).
Studies have shown over and over again that scientific literacy is no panacea against believing in bad science and that facts are poor counter-points to aggressive disinformation. HN is filled to the brim with people who declare their STEM credentials quite loudly but who seem to only have enough scientific literacy to google for papers from which they can cherry-pick stats to support their own politically-motivated positions.
> I don't think anyone has claimed Go's type system has novel features.

The third phrase of the linked essay is:

> Go type system is not a traditional type system

"non-traditional" is generally read as "novel" in some way.
I've been very critical of this study from the start, but credit to the research team for acknowledging their errors and apologizing.

I think the goal is a good one and I hope they're able to find a better way to accomplish it.
I'm not asking anyone about my case not seeking advice as I do great already in both online and offline. You seem in a hurry to assume other people's position and problems and providing unrequested advice that only validate your assumptions. Have you ever observed that in yourself?

Regarding to that corollary, you're assuming top guys even want to invest in relationships in the first place. Not the case of many I know. The strategy is more like: enjoy the party until one of the girls is so mindblowing feminine and submissive and good person that is worth giving a chance to some investing.
IMHO my definition here is both better and earlier, and also better nails the key promise of distributed ledger technology, in terms of it being a mechanism for better allowing large organizations and societies to reach consensus:

A negative innovation, sure :P
Reported death rate is currently increasing in the UK, and so are hospitalisations.

The reported ratio of detected cases to deaths is reducing, but this what you would expect during the rapid spreading phase, because of the long time lag between detected cases and eventual death.

We have to wait a few more weeks to find out what the true ratio is in the UK. It will emerge into statistical significance gradually, because some people die sooner than others, so expect a trickle of stories with varying shades of speculation.

Unfortunately data on Long Covid is harder to come by, and this is just as concerning due to the high case numbers, and the way it severely affects people while tending to be under-reported and undiagnosed.
I hate scrolljacking too, but to answer your question, overriding the default system behavior in general isn't about providing a better experience but rather a more consistent (from the POV of the designer) experience.

The downside of course is that it looks less consistent with other apps and webpages from the user POV.
I like how so many of these are for tech websites.

They’re also very 2000s. There’s something retro about websites, in that in the past decade Web 2.0 “platforms” have eaten these sites’ lunch. They still exist and are good at what they do, but are no longer the focus of the Web.
Mondragon Cooperatives?
Could it be public just linked to role and not name? Still has issues with roles that are unique enough to be identifying though.
> I'm an anti-COVID-19-vaxxer myself…

> If you come down with a 'breakthrough' case of COVID-19, don't let the doctors ventilate you…

> I heard recently of a friend's 70-yo neighbor who tested positive for COVID-19. She tried to sit it out for two weeks at home, deteriorated, went to a hospital in the big city, got ventilated, died.

If this doesn’t illustrate how conspiracy theories invert cause and effect, I don’t know what does. As an analogy:

Motor vehicle accident victims who present to the ED with the most severe injuries are most likely to die.

Motor vehicle accident victims who present to the ED with the most severe injuries are also the most likely to go right into emergency surgery.

Only someone bereft of common sense and reason would conclude that the solution is to warn everyone to never let trauma surgeons operate on you.
It's not really like that, this is two nested but different values which can be nil (not exactly independently but close).

typed nils are a single value which is both nil and non-nil at the same time.
That's interesting, I always found Go's handling of asynchronous stuff way better than other languages, especially the ones that relies on async.
Thanks for the link. Microsoft really built XBox out of everything they learned from working with Sega on Dreamcast. Without Dreamcast there would be no XBox.
I cant imagine having to pay that much. Wow.

My contract (in the UK) explicitly states that sharing compensation or bonus details is considered gross misconduct, which is a dismissable offense.
There is no specific protection for it, but at the same time it also cannot be forbidden to be discussed. Employment protection in the UK is string enough that you cannot just fire someone for discussing it.
Yes; if they had ensured that 100% of their targets were corporations then I would have very little concern about it.
In US legal code there is actually a definition of a human subject in https://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/regulations-and-policy/regulations/... (EDIT: to clarify this is a guideline for federal researchers and to my knowledge is not legally binding on private institutions, but seems to be used as a basis for private IRB policies):

"""

(e)(1) Human subject means a living individual about whom an investigator (whether professional or student) conducting research:

(i) Obtains information or biospecimens through intervention or interaction with the individual, and uses, studies, or analyzes the information or biospecimens; or
(ii) Obtains, uses, studies, analyzes, or generates identifiable private information or identifiable biospecimens.

(2) Intervention includes both physical procedures by which information or biospecimens are gathered (e.g., venipuncture) and manipulations of the subject or the subject’s environment that are performed for research purposes.

(3) Interaction includes communication or interpersonal contact between investigator and subject.

(4) Private information includes information about behavior that occurs in a context in which an individual can reasonably expect that no observation or recording is taking place, and information that has been provided for specific purposes by an individual and that the individual can reasonably expect will not be made public (e.g., a medical record).

"""

The argument is that scraping of public data, already recorded by data systems for general (e.g. not specifically medical) purposes, is neither intervention, interaction, nor private information.

On the other hand, IMO the researchers here clearly interacted with their subjects. While the email was sent to a privacy@ address, not only are emails different from HTTP GET in how likely they are to be read by humans, but this went a step further and implied legal action would be forthcoming unless a human replied to the message. That's interaction. That makes the recipient a human subject.

(IANAL and the above is not legal advice.)

EDIT 2: I've had the pleasure to meet one of the researchers here. They are a staunch defender of online privacy, and I believe the team sincerely wanted to measure how effectively businesses are adapting to the changing winds beyond their legal obligations. But I also think the team, and the Princeton and Radcliffe IRBs, should have done more to consider the impact on the people who operate these businesses themselves. I'm sad and disappointed that the systems in place didn't catch this.
Rather than trying to find some get rich quick scheme, I really recommend you find work you enjoy that pays money and prepare to work for another 10-20 years. Invest wisely and avoid risky schemes like cryptocurrency or trading.
Instead of storing the correct answers in an encoded/embedded form in the weights of the neural net (certain neurons very loosely corresponding to certain "answers") the correct answers are stored elsewhere. That way we can scale down the model to the necessary "thinking" parts and we don't need to use excess neurons for the "memory" part. Kind of handwavey but hopefully that explains the general idea.
Cannot confirm, do you have details?

Yes, Hetzner upgrades DCs (datacenter buildings), but they are the equivalent to AWS AZs (Availability Zones). When they upgrade a DC, they notify way in advance, and if you set up your services to span multiple DCs as is recommended, it does not affect you.

We run high-availability Ceph, Postgres, and Consul, across 3 Hetzner DCs, and have not had a Hetzner-induced service downtime in the 5 years that we do so.
