It's far too much to go in to in the HN comments section from a phone, but removing the key military leadership who pushed this mindset, a new government structure, and the rejuvenation of business under e.g., Deming caused a significant shift in Japanese culture following the war.

Edit: This is not necessarily in support of the grandparent comment; rather, a caution against judging a culture based on historical anecdotes.
I think they could get around the problem of requiring a third-party cluster manager if they really thought through the chicken-and-egg problems, and concentrated the circular dependencies into a very small core.

I’ve had the experience of working through the design of a system over and over until circular dependencies can be tamed through a bootstrap procedure.

Have you looked at Hasura for the second question (graph frontend + relational backend)? That's basically GraphQL on top of Postgres.

As for the first question - I've tried using Neo4j and ArangoDB for relatively large-scale graph querying (1-2TB of data) and both couldn't hold a candle to Postgres or MySQL in terms of query performance for cost. Neo requires you to store most of your data in memory and Arango isn't great for cross-shard querying.

Unless there's some major new graph DB that comes out in the next few years I would still bet on relational being dominant in 2030.
I’m one of the authors of this analyzer, and it’s surprising to see it here.

To clear one misconception: some of the comments seem to be taking this as some kind of official Go tool, or using it a data point regarding the language itself. I don’t think this is justified; the analyzer is only used within the gVisor codebase, and is not an outgrowth of Go itself.

On the points raised: I’m not a languages or compiler person; I think it’s pretty neat that I can write a decently powerful static analyzer using the same standardized packages used by vet and other tools. To me, this is the strength of Go: the core is simple. I agree with the idea that it would be cool if Go had some more advanced features in this area, but I also understand why these changes are made slowly, to ensure there’s experience and evidence. In the meantime, we’re free to write tooling that meets our specific needs (and lets one scratch a fun itch).

One last thing: the README is incomplete and out of date (globals are supported, for example), but it was never really for public consumption.
I practice a non-denominational version of Christianity that embraces a dispensational viewpoint. I regularly read from pretty much all parts of the Bible. However, the core of my reading involves reading 3 chapters a day: one from Romans-Galatians, one from Ephesians-Colossians, and one from Thessalonians on a constant loop. This is the foundation upon which I add readings from other parts of the Bible. I’ve been bringing in Genesis as of late. Most days, my wife and I do this together out loud. This practice is very grounding. I notice that it helps with my ADHD. I find it easier to organize my thoughts. I also find that I’m more patient with people in general.
So who's gonna be the first person to submit the bible?
I don't think that's the case in the Netherlands. In cities you hardly ever see older children playing outside. Hardly any place to do so. In villages children can play in forrests or just down the road. A city is crowded and busy. not a good and healthy place to grow up. A bit too artificial in my opinion.
I disagree when a trackpad enters the mix, because there are no clearly defined tap areas.

That's because I unintentionally middle-clicked the navbar, clobbering the clipboard with its contents.

> That gender as a concept is meaningful only to people who would have liked to be born the opposite sex

No, it's not.

In fact, “gender is a social construct” is controversial among trans people, who often have identities very tied up in gender (and specifically gender identity) being a innate essential characteristic that just happens to differ from the physical traits on which society has traditionally ascribed gender.

“Gender as a social construct” is useful (necessary, even) to explain why gender systems differ between societies in terms of what genders are recognized, what features are the basis of ascribing gender, and the expectations and roles associated with each recognized gender.
That's a fair point. I guess you could try to correct for that by giving more weight to references by non-Christian authors.

However, I believe with almost any reasonable measure you choose, the KJV Bible has a very high literary value. Even Richard Dawkins would acknowledge that. [1] And for what it's worth, I am not a Christian, so I don't think I am biased by religious zeal or something.

I've had this (admittedly naive) idea for a while now: what if there were a way to declare fines for corporate offenses based on a percentage of the money earned from committing such an offense? This percentage could be greater than 100% to ensure it is never incentivized to break the law. The main issue is determining how much money a corporation made based on a decision. This would require statistics and analysts and the minimum possible fine should be the minimum possible fine currently imposed by law.

The whole shell corporation, off shore tax haven bullshit would probably make this infeasible but is there actually anything that can stop that? I don't have any good ideas, but I know corporations should not make money off breaking the law.

On the one hand, as someone familiar with software and computer systems, it’s hard to see the prosecution winning. And the acquittal could prove stinging for the guv and the prosecutor. On the other hand, 12 Missouri citizens and a few appellate judges could convict and uphold, making things much less safe on line in Missouri.

There’s a totally valid complaint that the ssa analysis pass and compiler’s ssa representation are different and should be merged (I have the same one, and I’m pretty sure the Go team knows that), but what’s the problem with exposing this to user analyzer tools?

The language is simple enough to allow you to write analyzers in the first place. I’m totally fine with people disliking the tool (it’s purpose built for one codebase!), but I sincerely fail to see how it serves as a bad example of Go’s simplicity.

Good point, except if an important part of your complex script is really just plumbing the outputs of one program to the inputs of another. Because that's what shell scripting excels at.

This is one of the worrying aspects of Covid for me. When hospitals get overloaded, patients are less isolated than usual and staff are less likely to notice non-emergent conditions. One can imagine a scenario where an unnoticed C. Auris infection spreads to multiple immunocompromised patients. Fortunately, that wouldn't cause a runaway pandemic at this point, but it sounds like it could destroy the ICU or even a hospital.

>Porn and AI

This comment reminds me of a disturbing one I read a few months back on an anonymous underwater basket weaving forum.

The poster was discussing those expensive “real doll” (?) sex robots that creep me out, anyways he went on to mention that he discovered the app “face app” could take these things from “uncanny valley” to essentially photorealistic. Makes sense given what the app is supposed to do, but the real mind fuck was he said it also works on under aged dolls… which again I was surprised to learn are apparently legal most places.

So AI/ML can take an inanimate object and then create highly illegal fool-most-humans level fake image from said inanimate object. Seems pretty scary to me, and we might not be far from an ML model that can essentially produce endless amounts of illegal content.

What are the implications of that? How do you even begin to police/filter that? Then I guess there’s the question of if we even should, since none of it’s real anyways.

Porn and AI is gonna get real messy.

The third largest US military expense in WW2 was on computers both mechanical and electronic. The US perfecting the proximity fuse was probably one of the single most important advancements during the war and was a major factor as to why allied artillery was so much more effective.

I wonder how many people realize that artillery shells in WW2 had bloody vacuum tubes in them, or that the US had targeting computers for their naval AA guns that (combined with proximity fuses) lowered the average the rounds per kill from a few 1000’s to under 100… by the end of the war US naval AA could shoot down a Japanese aircraft with an average of 30 rounds fired.

The Brits weren’t too shabby either, Bletchley Park the Chain Home early warning radar and much more. In fact the Brits pretty much invented modern radar…

The truth was that Germans really didn’t managed to compete with the Allies when it came to technology despite the popular depiction of them in some circles of popular culture.

They Nazi’s “dejewification” of science and the pursuit of “German science” reeked havoc within their scientific community breaking down the scientific method and its core institutions and many of the scientists from the Great War and interwar period who remained either weren’t supporting the German war machine or were actively sabotaging it.

Shouldn’t the goal be to optimize for warmth equilibrium and efficiency? In turn it is the most efficient load for the furnace and also for comfort. If I were to optimize warmth for the 1st floor ignoring the 2nd floor, the heat loss towards the 2nd floor will still occur due to physics, and now the 1st floor zone will be working much harder because it’s really warming both floors now. What should the setting be for the 2nd floor in order to make it a blanket minimizing the upward travel of heat from the 1st floor?
Here is the first (?) application of deep learning to improve the pornography experience, an Android app called Melondream published in early 2017:

Surprisingly, almost 5 years after being published, this app still serves thousands of user sessions per day. That rate continues to slowly grow.

Except for its user interface, the whole app (client and server) was written in Go (https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/mobile/cmd/gomobile).

It uses densenet feature vectors (https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.06993) to allow "touch-to-search" (ha!) with a fractional norm distance metric (https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.23...).

Much of our free speech (and porn laws) are thanks to Larry Flynt. His case rather than being argued through "science" or statistics was argued via innate rights.

Also worth mentioning that he lost his ability to walk over that case.

Note that this also exists in the gVisor code base, the atomics support here is mostly for mixed-mode operation (read atomic, write locked) which is also common. It’s pretty new, so I still need to annotate a lot of the code.
Yes, they do. Some will take the bus, others will be happy to bike. Depends on the season/weather/money. One good deal Dutch kids get to negotiate is if they can save the money on the bus pass they can use it for spending money. Pretty good motivator. The usual arrangement is for kids to meet up at some spot near the town border in the morning and then cycle as a group. Safer and easier dealing with the wind (of which we get quite a lot here).

> IIRC SHA256 outputs the full state so some types of length extension attack are still possible (though massively less _practical_ than against MD5)

I'm not aware of any differences between the length extension attack on MD5 and the one on SHA-256. As far as I know, it works the same way on both. Here's an assignment I did on the SHA-256 version if you want a deep dive: https://github.com/oconnor663/applied_crypto_2021_fall/tree/...

It's possible you're thinking about finding collisions? It's true that this is much easier for MD5 than for SHA-1.

> MD5 is still perfectly fine for protecting against accidental corruption

I take your point, but I think it's problematic that MD5 was designed to have security properties that we now know it doesn't have. Even if we don't need those properties, that creates some practical issues.

A small issue: Those security properties come with a performance cost. If we don't need them, we're using the wrong tool.

A big issue: Many people learned about MD5 back when it was still considered secure, and not everyone has updated their mental model. There are plenty of old (or new but badly mistaken) articles that recommend using MD5 for security, which still show up in search results. We're going to have to keep fighting this long tail of old advice for the foreseeable future, and the best way to do that is to document "MD5 BAD" as widely and clearly as possible. A caveat like "in cases where you need collision resistance" is useful and interesting for cryptographers but counterproductive as a public message. The message needs to be "MD5 BAD". We can put a link to the Wikipedia article on second-preimage resistance in the footnotes.

> perhaps use SHA384 or SHA224

Note that SHA-224 only cuts 32 bits off the state, so you can still length-extend it if you're allowed a few billion guesses.

SHA-384 is better (and SHA-512/256 is best, albeit the world's most confusingly named hash function), but I think the more important takeaway from all this is that the constellation of SHA-2 standards is too complicated and full of too many pitfalls. This is a good argument in favor of a modern design like SHA-3, which doesn't tempt us with unsafe choices.

EDIT: I feel a little guilty that the largest subthread in this post about a beautiful new book is about the hash function in the fine print >.<
