Very well written.

This feels like the log4j conversation all over again. Cray/HPE knows what the problem is, and they know the developers aren't being paid to fix the bug, the customer is hounding them, not the original developers. This is their problem to solve, they don't get to pretend that it's someone else's fault that they're too cheap to shell out the money for proper maintenance.

If this was a bug in Cray/HPE's own internal software, they would pay a developer to fix it. It's wild as a company to assume that because you're using someone else's stuff for free, your responsibility for maintenance is now their problem as well.

> Hi Bill, per our operational security procedure we can't talk about ieee_arithmetic, especially when we dont get paid.

Good on the developers for saying this. You support people, or you don't get to tell them what to do. And if you're a commercial company taking on a contract that involves nuclear weapons, maybe you devote some resources to making that contract and the software running well, because that's what the client is paying you to do.

So sick and tired of the backwards mentality that giving something away to the world for free means that you now have an additional obligation to fix everyone else's problems for free. The "as is" clauses in Open Source licenses are there for a reason.

All traffic passing through Twilio is categorized as application-to-person traffic. If you haven't registered your brand, been assigned a trust score, and registered your specific number with a specific a2p campaign, you'll be subjected to heavy filtering.

I suggest you look at Apple's stock chart. It has dramatically outperformed FB on a 5-year horizon (520% for AAPL, 200% for FB). [1] 5 years ago, an FB grant would have had to be 2.5X greater to match an AAPL grant today.

Discretionary equity grants are just that - discretionary. Staff engineers are already top ~7% of a company's engineers, and principal engineers closer to top ~3%. These folks are already top performers. Discretionary equity grants are not something one should ever count on at FB and I wouldn't say they're for "top" performers but rather solid folks who lucked into specific circumstances. You cannot make one happen just by being good.

I'm fairly confident that Apple has a similar program for folks who create outsize value. It's really difficult to compare these discretionary programs across companies and I would very much hesitate to draw conclusions from a few data points here on HN.

Let's not conflate new hires with tenured folks, equity appreciation for what the company offered at the time and discretionary equity grants for anything other than one-offs someone can never shoot for and make happen by force of will alone.

You're making a mistake by drawing conclusions that masks aren't effective. Pointing to one study which has non-significant data means you shouldn't draw any conclusion at all from it.
You'd in turn perhaps be shocked at how much OSS software originates in militaries.

Especially in the software security / cryptography space — if a crypto algorithm isn't literally designed by some military, it's often designed by some mathematicians who were contracted by a military to come up with an algorithm with some particular nice set of properties, who then (probably much later) reused their paid learning to create another algorithm with similar nice properties for public use, but different enough that it doesn't "give anything away" cryptanalytically about its confidential progenitor algorithm.

"Opened" projects like Tor or Ghidra aren't at-all uncommon, either. The unusual part with those projects is that we know where they came from; usually such things are thoroughly scrubbed of their origins and handed over to a maintainer with a public identity, who is to claim that they created it themselves.
Many of the protocol level 2 scaling like rollups are far more centrally controlled than they lead you to believe

Do pilots of small aircraft consider this in practice?

(As someone who doesn't fly, it's obviously an interesting thought experiment as a means to survive, but I would imagine most pilots are going to be looking to recover or land the aircraft, not bail out of it?)
I'm just reading this, and learning a few new things:

https://www.sqlite.org/howtocorrupt.html

SQLite has an alternate lock mode with dotfiles that seems to prevent database corruption over NFS. It is important that all SQLite accesses from all connected processes use the same lock mode.

"2.3. Two processes using different locking protocols

"The default locking mechanism used by SQLite on unix platforms is POSIX advisory locking, but there are other options. By selecting an alternative sqlite3_vfs using the sqlite3_open_v2() interface, an application can make use of other locking protocols that might be more appropriate to certain filesystems. For example, dot-file locking might be select for use in an application that has to run on an NFS filesystem that does not support POSIX advisory locking.

"It is important that all connections to the same database file use the same locking protocol. If one application is using POSIX advisory locks and another application is using dot-file locking, then the two applications will not see each other's locks and will not be able to coordinate database access, possibly leading to database corruption."

That is an interesting design, but the first ideas I had of how to implement lead to the device turning (either Yaw or Roll) when the stopping (Pitch) torque is applied. This seems less than optimal!

What I like about that however is that turning (and/or coordinated turning) could be implemented without requiring leaning over... that means you could have extremely tight turning radius!

I always thought of these Monowheels as simply a rail car inside a large wheel... which has pretty limited advantages, while the momentum of the outer wheel has definite disadvantages.

Now perhaps a flywheel in the opposite direction of the wheel (but planar with it) could be used to apply stopping force (without the yaw/roll) up to the limit of friction?

The view issues could now also be resolved by simply putting cameras (or even old-timey periscopes) in so you could see straight ahead.
In C this used to be “implementation defined”. That changed in C99 and C++11 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_operation#In_programmin..., note c)

Nitpick: it never was “just do whatever the underlying hardware does”. C standards try hard to avoid mentioning hardware at all (and, as far as I know, succeed at that), and there’s plenty of hardware that doesn’t do mod in hardware, yet supports it in C.

Nope, it wouldn't. It's already implied by the general disclaimer of warranty in existing FLOSS licenses; adding that express provision would merely bring some much-needed clarity.
Unless, of course, you need to perform a low level recovery when Apples servers are unavailable, for whatever reason. Then, it seems that it would be quite the problem.
What was the content of the message about masks?

US telcos know at best two things at this point: keep the network up and collect rent. They cannot solve complicated social problems like spam or internet security. They just don't have the skills or the willingness to invest. We will all continue to pay them if only for internet access, and for a good price too thanks to countless mergers leaving consumers with few choices, but they are otherwise transforming into dumber and dumber pipes at a pretty fast clip. There's more profit to be made for them being a dumb pipe while device and OS manufacturers pick up the security / spam slack for free (eg, how much is anyone actually willing to pay for spam filtering) because it lets them provide a trusted environment to sell apps and ads in.

Interactive interfaces. There's a huge difference between moving a slider and seeing the reaction in real time and moving the slider and seeing the reaction a second later. If you define "real time" as 30 fps, you have 33ms to process each query and show the result. That could involve multiple database queries with computation in between, if your business logic isn't easily expressible in SQL.

Come to think about it, that covers most apps with UI. Apps where you are exploring data are definitely more impacted however.
I assume merpnderp understands perfectly well which article you were talking about.

You said:

>But reading further in the article they rise doubt about masks in general, which is something we know is highly effective (purely from a physics point of view). They don't say masking is effective, they continually question if it is.

There are five parts of the article that contain the word "mask":

1. On September 28, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky shared the results of a new study that appeared to confirm the need for mask mandates in schools. The study was conducted in Arizona over the summer, and published by the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report: It found that schools in counties without mask mandates had 3.5 times more outbreaks than schools in counties with mask mandates.

2. "You can't learn anything about the effects of school mask mandates from this study," Jonathan Ketcham, a public-health economist at Arizona State University, told me.

3. Masks may well help prevent the spread of COVID, some of these experts told me, and there may well be contexts in which they should be required in schools. But the data being touted by the CDC—which showed a dramatic more-than-tripling of risk for unmasked students—ought to be excluded from this debate.

4. For these and other reasons, Zweig argues that the study ought to be ignored entirely: Masking in schools may or may not be a good idea, but this study doesn't help answer the question. Any public official—including and especially Walensky—who purports to follow the science should toss this one in the trash.

5. Hopefully, we see something similar [death rate not rising in DC despite a spike in cases, as with delta] with omicron, though everyone should prepare for Democratic officials to bring back mask mandates (and maybe lockdowns) in response to rising cases. Mayor Muriel Bowser will probably reinstate D.C.'s mask mandate—just as soon as her own holiday parties are over.

None of these are, as you claimed, "continuously questioning if wearing masks is effective". (1) describes the study that is the subject of the article. (2), (3) and (4) are specifically saying, exactly as the submitted article describes, that they don't think wearing masks is ineffective, just that this study doesn't prove that they are effective. (5) is just saying people should expect masks to become mandatory again for everyone soon.

(And to be clear, the parts of the article that I didn't quote above don't question the effectiveness of masks either. In fact, the part about college campuses being closed due to omicron specifically points out that vaccines have not been sufficient to prevent that from happening.)

You're welcome to say that you think the article's title is suggestive of something the article doesn't claim. I happen to agree; I think it's clickbait. But your points about the content of the article are unfounded.
> Should always be able to be read top-to-bottom, left-to-right. No <expression> if <condititonal> like in Ruby.

I believe that rules out operator precedence, which is customary to copy from math, for good reasons.

Not all languages do (e.g. smalltalk) but I'm not sure it's what the author intended.
> In my experience, people with poor critical reading skills don't read. Instead they just regurgitate what they heard on FOX

The same thing happens on the left with the New York Times. Laziness is a trait orthogonal to political party.
The only difference between a fungible token and a non-fungible token is its fungibility: everything else is the same. The stated use case for both is "I want to know for certain who owns something". A chain of digital signatures fails to satisfy that need. Please stop being so assertive about something you clearly don't know anything about: there are tons of useful complaints about how people are using NFTs, but this is not one of them.
My understanding from college was that C doesn't have a modulo operator, if you look at the spec (according to my professor (according to my memory)) it's called the "remainder operator". Modulo and remainder are not the same operation, so both python and C are correct
I like the concept. If anything, it gives a conversation filler/starter for any awkward family dinners otherwise during the Holidays.

That being said, the internet has probably made a test like this easier than it has been in the past. Although I dare say many of the answers will require Google-fu/Wikipedia wizardry of a quite high level.
You can do the exact same thing with a blockchain NFT - there's absolutely no difference in terms of outcome. Each "sale" generates a unique digital signature NFT because the public key of the person buying is incorporated as part of the cryptographic signature.

> Traditionally, you build something great (or an MVP) and market it.

I don't like the Web3 hype either but generally people say one should market their product first then build it if there's enough demand, through a landing page capturing emails or pre-payments, or other such ways of gauging demand.

It just seems that Web3 fanatics took the marketing side too far that they've forgotten they actually have to build a product (that solves an actual problem, not yet another coin) for which the marketing will be used.
I’ve made proposals to state universities for $20k software projects that required a vote in the state legislature for approval.

Moved on to other projects until after the next legislative session, and the period after where the bureaucracy makes it all happen, then we actually scheduled a start date that was 3 months later, since that was how long it took to get all the resources back from other projects.

Government isn’t run like a household, nor like a business, nor should it be.
I found this fascinating! I found some 3D models claiming to be exact replicas, and I found it VERY interesting to note that the largest hole appears to be an ELLIPSE and not a circle? Can any verify this and has anyone heard a theory about that? If it is indeed an ellipse that of course immediately makes me wonder if it represents an orbit or some other mathematical or geometrical shape. Super fun.

With postgres you could set up a read-only replica or something. At least for me, the small effort is well worth not having to worry about accidentally deleting production data.

I feel like having an easy mechanism to clone the production database somewhere you can play with is well worth the effort. You can even use those clones to run backtests and other integration/regression tests against, which is also a very nice to have.

> 1. How experienced a pilot is this man? Is he a very junior novice or experienced such that this should be a non-factor.

he has a pilot license and that is enough experience to get out of this without bailing on the plane. the fact that he had a full proper skydiving rig was a red flag.

> 2. I see lots of folks mentioned hardwares in the comments - would a vintage craft (80+ years) be lacking good maintenance or equipment?

every plane has to undergo some form of periodic maintenance and 80 year old planes are worthy if kept up. it's a single engine plane though and those do fail from time to time, however they do have practice in engine failures as part of the path to getting the pilot license. these things can glide for a long long way and he had a lot of altitude to find a place to land such as a road or dirt. this was imo a stunt for his youtube page.

> I can't recall ever getting a robocall here in Germany.

The simpler reason you haven't gotten a robocall on your cell phone^W^W"handy" is that the caller pays a non-negligible amount of money to call you (at some point it was around £0.25). This makes the sort of mass spam calling that's happening in the US uneconomical. In the US, the receiver pays the cost of the tower-to-mobile connection; meaning it's fractions of a cent to call anyone, even on their cell phone.

Making the US more like Europe in that regard would instantaneously get rid of a massive amount of spam calls, without the need for any more complicated regulation.
This is not very convincing though, because the cheap, but otherwise poorly-specced PC could do something useful, e.g., run spreadsheets. "Web3" can't do anything useful yet that's not already predicated on its own value, that is, sure you can "transfer value" with Bitcoin or Etherium, but that's predicated on those "tokens" actually having value. Its value is built on itself. The PC on the other hand had fundamental value.
I couldn't really disagree more. Convicted is the key point here. Anyone can throw around the word 'terrorist' to describe someone, but conviction is a concrete fact about the legal system. The people calling this woman a "convicted terrorist" are leaning on the convicted. Without it their claim would feel much less weighty.

e.g. lots of people have called Kyle Rittenhouse a 'terrorist'. Say he had been convicted on one of the charges against him - would it be fair to call him a 'convicted terrorist' just because some people feel he is a terrorist, and he was convicted of something? Clearly not.

"Rosenberg is a convicted criminal who planned terrorist acts" is a far more defensible claim, so why not just say that?

The NTSB website says:

"The National Transportation Safety Board is an independent Federal agency charged by Congress with investigating every civil aviation accident in the United States and significant accidents in other modes of transportation – railroad, highway, marine and pipeline."

So if the NTSB is not investigating every civil aviation crash, then they are failing in their congressional mandate. If you have evidence of this, you should probably contact your congress person or a newspaper with the details.
