Keeping my secrets store on someone else's computer is simply not compatible with my threat model.

Yes, they say it is encrypted, and I believe them and believe they're competent.

But competent people write vulnerable code all the time, disastrously bad hires happen (see Unifi), and companies go bad. You can't un-disclose information stored with them, only laboriously invalidate it.
Seems like the lesson there is to use a standalone password manager, rather than one that's a browser extension?

Welcome to Chicago. I've lived here 15+ years, and Illinois most of my life. And I still hate winter LOL.
As someone from the middle of Kansas, it's funny reading someone describe Minneapolis like a sleepy backwater town. If you truly grew up in the heartland, major cities like Minneapolis and Chicago feel incredibly alive and full of energy.

Minneapolis is a cosmopolitan city. It has the second most theater seats of any US city (after NYC). It has lots of great food and international diversity, being home to large diasporas from Africa and SE Asia. If you're a Bay Area native, the most shocking thing about Minneapolis will be the weather, not the culture or people.

In my opinion, the worst part about the weather in the Midwest is the variability. Good luck trying to plan a few days ahead - fronts whip through and drop or raise the temps dramatically. Rain/sleet/snow can happen almost anytime, and the intraday changes in weather are going to be foreign to anyone accustomed to coastal living. I've personally seen it go from 90F to 28F within 24 hours. If you can handle that, then Minneapolis is a great place to live.
The problem is we train way more PhDs than there are tenure track positions available. Most PhDs won’t be lucky enough to get one of those academic positions, and a postdoc is just delaying the inevitable transition to an industrial job. Postdocs are for all-star students with a good academic pedigree and publishing track record who have a good shot at tenure. People who were less then that (such as myself) are often better served starting their career outside academia.

From a pragmatic perspective that is how the calculus worked for me. It’s probably where the stigma arises from as well. Although I wish it weren’t like that, I never thought the purpose of a college/university education should be so limited to ‘job training’ (that’s what trade schools are for). That’s the American perspective, anyways.
What to expect for Fedora Workstation in 2022
They pretty much used to do that physical SIMs. For the longest time Apple wouldn’t accept network profiles many MVNO in the U.K. which mean the phone would completely ignore the config on SIM and stuff like internet wouldn’t work.

You could still get everything working by manually configuring the phone, and carriers like GiffGaff had support articles explaining how, but it was a total pain in the arse and stuff would occasionally break in subtle ways.

Additionally the eSIM is separate physical chip within the phone attached to baseband radio. Once configured with a profile, the host OS has as much access as it does to a normal SIM, I.e. not much. The entire standard is kinda a hack, which basically boils down to “what if we embedded a normal SIM card chip in the phone, and let the phone flash a new carrier profile every now and then?”. Remember these SIMs are fully fledged computers, like their normal removable counterparts, that can ignore host OS commands, and issue instructions directly to the baseband processor without the host OS knowledge.

Grok {Shan, Shui}*: Advent of understanding the generative art
The economy is zero sum. The early investors are the people that bought in early and they cash out by selling to the later investors. The “legitimate business” claim is Axie itself and the claim that it can both reward investors who hold and rent Axies as well as pay people to play the game. An idea that only works if more people keep putting money in. To further this claim Axies developers make an awful lot of noise about how they are going to introduce new mechanics which will supposedly fix this.
Sometime before 2008 (and, since the change isn't the kind MS tends to do during a major OS version lifecycle, probably with or prior to the release of Vista in 2007) though the documentation on it (not just when it happened, but how to use them best) seems to be well-obscured. But here's a post originally from 2008 covering Windows Vista which is the least-bad coverage of ProgramData/AppData I can find:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-blog-archive/...

(My personal recollection is that it is much earlier, at least back to XP, but I could be wrong, so I’ll go with what I can find documented.)
I miss the Minneapolis that was. I lived and worked there for a time after getting married. The city is not what it was ten years ago, though.

Most of the restaurants I frequented (and they were exceptionally good) are gone. Crime has dramatically increased, including all time highs for murders in St. Paul, and Minneapolis three murders away from its all time high.

I lived in an apartment in Minneapolis. I could walk just a block or two into downtown. It was a wonderful, vibrant city. A ten minute walk to Lake Calhoun, groceries down the street, my barber, and the ice cream shop right next to each other. It was my favorite of all the places I've lived. I just wish it was still as I recall it. Perhaps my perspective is too full from consuming news and has too little from current residents.
Apple doesn’t use this eSIM spec, they have their own proprietary one.
Not all problems can be solved by technology. Not all “problems” are actually problems either.
Rule of thumb: don't take advice from people who can't explain why they suggest you comment code out.
I'm single, live alone and have been retired voluntarily for about 2 1/2 years and can't say I've ever been bored or lonely. It's probably because I'm always curious and love to learn, and my spirituality is such that I came to the realization that thinking of myself as an isolated mind in a body is an error of thinking. I think of myself more of a wave on a ocean of consciousness that we are all part of. I have family and friends that I travel through this timeline with. I always feel connected, never disconnected. Without the internet it would be more difficult I think.
Because it doesn’t provide any value. The game developers created an artificial demand by making a particular aspect of the game so unenjoyable that some people would pay others to do it. They could, instead, just offer people the better experience uniformly and deliver more value to their users.

In this way, the demand and output is entirely artificial.

The author here describes the main difference this new model and older games where similar economies developed is that this is considered a primary feature of the game and people are entering it for the purpose of grinding for cash. I remember many of the other games described such as RuneScape, Second Life, WoW, etc. where people sold in game currency or profiles, but they weren’t advertised as economic opportunities, but as games you play for entertainment. VCs weren’t investing in them for this purpose either.
Yeah that's bullshit though - it's a warped incentive caused by social systems. In a healthy social system, these incentives to make money doing pointless bullshit should be minimised. David Graeber is an anarchist, and the whole bullshit jobs concept is a criticism of capitalism.
How is this not done by the installer? Seems like a problem that didn’t need crowd sourcing.
Ok, but anyone could say that about any comment, so from a moderation perspective that is either an empty point or means that we shouldn't moderate anything at all.

For practical purposes, someone has to make judgment calls about these things. The way we do that is that we have a set of guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), and moderators who make calls about which accounts are breaking them. We try to be as even-handed as possible when we do that, but certainly no one is going to agree with every call we make. Nevertheless, someone has to do the job, and that includes banning accounts when people break the rules and aren't interested in modifying their behavior.
In the book version of his essay, one of the things he talks about is how most of the things people would write to him about being "bullshit jobs" were not his original definition of bullshit jobs.

He gives the example of how a lot of people wrote to him about how useless hairdressers were, since people could just style their own hair. But, to Graeber, these are very much real jobs, because it's easy to see what was exchanged for payment (hair service.) Whether it was worth the money is a different question.

Clergy, in the middle ages, wouldn't be so much a bullshit job, but might be a privileged caste. The servants of the clergy, according to Graeber, are not bullshit jobs, because like the hairdresser, they are doing something for someone (presumably.) Doing laundry or bringing tea or whatever we are imagining they are serving as servants.

I believe in the book, he resigns to include the concept of "different types" of bullshit jobs, since most people seem to be unable to stick to his original definition.

The canonical bullshit job to Graeber would be someone in a large administrative bureaucracy. This is tied, in his original essay, to examining the statistics of increase in jobs in different sectors, cross-referenced with data about the growth in the productivity of a single worker. He shows that while manufacturing and service jobs have remained steady, "administrative" jobs have increased in proportion with productivity, which he says demonstrates the "bullshit job" as purely a way of having more administrators sitting around in meetings while the same number of people do actual stuff.
It's the same cultural value provided by a slot machine.

A way to hack someone else's brain and turn them into a slave zombie.

But I guess a lot of "real" culture is basically trying to do something similar: religions, corporate cults, schools, etc. Those are maybe only superficially less grotesque.

> Inflation of goods is caused by a supply shock or too much demand (too much spending chasing two few resources).

It was my understanding that increase in the money supply caused severe inflation in Spain during the 1500s. [0] If true how does that square with the argument that goods inflation is from a supply shock or excess demand?

Many liberal arts schools pay everyone like they are liberal arts professors. So they have impossible time hiring people in valuable professional fields like CS and statistics. They still can get solid students though. Disproportionately locals and by offering scholarships. Also prior hot areas like "data science" and security indeed led to a lot of insane starting salary stories ($300k+) for merely-above-average students from meh schools with exactly the right skills. Even the median starting salaries in hot areas have been surprisingly high for a while.

> If CS PhD's are an exceptional class then I think it's only by virtue of supply & demand. There are a larger # of opportunities in industry, and they often pay better.

Well of course. What else would it be? Doesn't it always work out in life that the jobs you can get are the ones where they need you more than you need them?

> It took a staggering number of real hours to achieve this skill level

* 97 logs (30 minutes)

* 293 oaks (1 hr)

* 714 willows (2.5 hr)

* 19,246 maple (very inefficient compared to willow cutting rate - 60 hour). If you did yews it would be many hundreds of hours.

About 70 hours done inefficiently.

> What if I wrote a macro

Macros were fine but easily detected due to the repeated patterns. Botting in general was the wild west in this game from about 2008 - ~2014. Interesting how botting numbers drastically inflated player counts and engagement and the company Jagex became a private equity darling getting bought and sold several times, its almost like they had an incentive to keep the practice going.

> Economics

Absolutely. I learned devops managing really inefficient gold farms that got free servers from the Azure promotions when Microsoft cloud launched.
Those numbers look ok (ish)

Staff costs are roughly £900,000 of the £1.2M loss and they received investment of £5.5M

These are for year two of their business so they’re not huge losses for a venture backed business and suspect they could have sustained the same level of loss year to Dec 31 2021

I tend prefer bootstrapped businesses but these accounts don’t look too bad
Nuclear isn’t load following either. To get close to 100% you need to have vastly more power plants constructed which then mostly sit idle, but trying to do that is horrifically expensive.

It’s actually cheaper and safer to pair Nuclear with batteries than it is to have that many idle nuclear power plants which makes it directly comparable to wind and solar. Unfortunately, in a head to head competition to fill batteries, Nuclear simply loses. It would even loses when directly compared to solar + batteries in most areas for a grid with steady 24/7/365 power demand.

What a dismissive comment. Everyone competitive or with ambitious goals has moments where they feel overwhelmed and their mind screams and looks for a way out, and the question is whether you should trust that feeling and look for something that would make you happier or find a way to pull your head up and remind yourself why you chose this situation in the first place. It's totally reasonable to look for advice when this happens, and doesn't show a lack of "planning" - it always feels different when you're in the middle of it from how you saw something originally.
One company who is notorious for cutting corners and having poor security shouldn't be the norm.

Would this get caught in an open source project? Significantly more likely.

Would this get caught by a company that relies on quality over marketing? Who knows.

People are shocked a company who has been selling low to medium quality products has a security issue. I'm not shocked.
Agreed, and I highly recommend 1Password. But just because they've had problems in the past doesn't mean the framing of this article is fair. The title made me think everyone's passwords were compromised due to a leak or hack, when in reality the article is a rehash of a HN post from yesterday.
This is a ridiculous thought ending argument.

Other projects need to sit still so one project doesn’t have to change one line of code?

Nonsense. Keep up or get forked (that’s not a euphemism for vulgarity). It’s not esoteric magic like it used to be.
Small Modular Reactors (SMR) are currently the darlings of the nuclear world. They promise cost reduction through mass production in factories rather than on site, smaller size enabling simpler passive emergency cooling, hypothetically simpler licensing through something like type certificates used for, say, airliners rather than starting from scratch for each reactor, etc etc.

This all sounds promising, and it's certainly worth investigating further, however for actual reactors that have been built and operated, cost reduction through increasing the size has been one of the very few approaches that has been empirically demonstrated to work.
Now I see what you mean by under-specified in the case of branch hints. But does the solution need to involve giving more direct machine access? Similar benefits can be given with higher layer abstractions as well, without adding more UB, in fact the examples below remove UB. Take restrict keyword in C, which theoretically could be automatically inferred in Rust (not sure if they actually do nowadays). Iterators, or as you say better addition operators, can hide the details of array indexing and overflows. Hinting the probability of a certain branch certainly sounds like a higher layer construct as well, not something to expose a direct machine instruction for.

I am finding that life without a smart phone in my pocket is palpably more pleasant — and without a smart phone, the utility of a notepad and pen increases quite a bit.
I don't recall exactly right now, but I remember an article that had a 2x2 description of people who are vocal vs. internalized and rule-abiding vs. rulebreaker-tolerating.. or something like that.

It did help me accept (or at least understand) a little bit more some people I observe who just live their lives like "it's all good" or "if the person does that, they must need it really bad".

I never really understood that kind of mentality, for 2 reasons.

1) When someone breaks the rules, and goes unchecked, it just encourages them to do it more and reinforces their belief that the bad behavior is acceptable. And there is something to the notion that seeing people break the rules degrades respect for the rules in general.

2) Every time someone breaks the rules, it's a tax on those who follow the rules. Why am I inconveniencing myself by following rules when others just go ahead and break them? Or in another way of saying it, especially when rules are only partially enforced, the people who follow the rules are made suckers. Better to not have the rule at all.

I guess this became a bit more frustrating to me over time (or maybe because of age) as I understand rules better and have an opinion on their validity (especially the history of them), to see people giving up on the idea of enforcing rules or standards at the request of people who break the rules, or people who just have sympathy for them.

Well then, why did we create the rules in the first place? Just toss the rules out, and let everyone go free-for-all, so that the rule-abiding people aren't paying a tax while others go "scot-free". So easy, isn't it, for people coming later to forget all the work that it took to experience and solve for these problems that we can just toss them out now.

There was the example of the MIT admissions director who had faked her PhD the whole time (or say, how some people get meaningless paper PhDs from no-name schools to increase their government job pay), and one of my grad school colleagues (toiling away for his PhD!) said, "You would go out of your way to report that? What harm has it done you?". I was incredulous.

Maybe I'm getting more conservative in my old age.
Thanks! I share your frustration :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26808561
Of course they can, but they don't. It's extremely expensive and the vast majority of countries can't afford the massive upfront cost without nasty consequences. Most of the 32 countries with nuclear reactors built them using technology from Russia, France, the US, UK, or China. China still builds nuclear reactors using imported Russian technology because its own industry can't keep up with the demand - the demand for exporting Chinese nuclear reactors to countries that US/EU won't sell nuclear technology to.

The article we're commenting on is part of the EU and US response - they want to sell their reactor technology to a bunch of countries to prevent China from getting that business and gaining influence, but they want to do it in a way that reduces proliferation because the constituents that vote for them care about nuclear proliferation. It's entry level geopolitics.
Funny, I was thinking the exact opposite. The Mach number has two velocities that cancel out, and velocity tends to be an easy concept to grasp, making it a textbook example of a dimensionless number. The part where Mach numbers are converted back to velocities requires you to input knowledge on the speed of sound, but there isn't a single answer for that unless you know the composition of the fluid, which is dependent on chemical composition, altitude and temperature. If you take a guess for that number, it's a unit conversion error rather than a variation in the dimensionless quantity itself.
Nice turnaround!

Yes, OpenSea is centralized. That's part of the hype around SOS as an alternative, creating a decentralized NFT exchange instead.

Content hosting is also centralized (ie on Google Drive or at a URL).

NFTs can be decentralized. Current versions are not. The files are not stored on a chain or via IPFS. And there's no decentralized exchange.

The current version is kinda like an MVP stitched together.

Agree. Moving from one proprietary online solution to another proprietary online solution isn't the answer.
What are you basing that assertion on? All the eSIMs I’ve ever used have come direct from the carrier, and in some cases those carriers have very small presence and aren’t know for being at the front of Apple queue for services.

Then there’s the dozens of companies in the App Store like https://www.dentwireless.com/ who all provide eSIMs for international travel. I find it hard to believe they all have agreements with Apple, it normally costs far to much to deal with Apple for bottom dollar companies to make any money.
As mentioned under the older thread of this same article, many hardware APIs suffer from having to provide a C-compatible interface/memory model. I remember reading that a particular GPU’s elegant memory model was butchered so that C-programmers could do something with it? My memory is hazy on the details though.
Most radio receivers transmit a very weak signal slightly higher than the carrier frequency of the station tuned as a result of how they enhance received signals. Look up superheterodyne for details.
