Just the other day a co-worker brought up this idea as an offhand remark. After bouncing it off those present, it took him all of twenty seconds to see why it might do harm and will do little good.

Some may have missed the news in October (2021) about the 35 million dollars swindle, between UAE and Hong Kong, involving the bank director in HK receiving a call where the voice "of the company director" requested a transfer...

It would be a help if the author of the list gave any indication of why each of these books is worth reading.

As it stands it looks like a list of the sort of worthy books that folk will think well of you for having read.
Yes it is this one!
The term died, the dream festered on. It got rebranded as model driven development andany in the embedded world bought into it in the late 90s, some have only ditched it in the last year or two, while plenty more have followed a second rebranding and keep drawing... There are some good graphical languages, lego mind storm, code spells, gnu radio companion, simulink, and maybe, sometimes, labview. Those languages aren't object oriented, they represent data flow. I suspect that makes a difference. But mostly they are for quick prototyping or small designs. And that makes an even bigger one. Diagrams don't scale well.

What about the OS of a normal SIM that you have zero control off.

In Germany you are already required to ID yourself for normal SIMs.

My father had to download a provider app to access a video call where he had to show his ID.
popcorn-time used to work ten times better than any paid streaming service of today.

also, no ads.

there is nothing inherently difficult in watching unlicensed content.

and downloading has been a thing since I can remember.

Everyone in my age range or younger than me (mid 40s) should know exactly how to do it.

the main two reasons people watch paid services nowadays are:

1 - they have kids and don't want to do parenting, because it's hard, so they buy Disney+ and leave the kids in front of it

2 - they are young and have been educated to them by their parents (AKA they don't pay for it)

3 - go back to one
Because there is no such thing like mail?
Better question, do we need them?

Maybe someone with better eyesight than me would spot something, but I really cannot tell the difference between a 4k monitor and a 1080. Likewise with a refresh rate that is twice what my current monitors use.

I mean, if someone wants that sure, why not, but wouldn't that extra power be better spent to eke out more battery life? Because I wasn't annoyed with how things look on my monitors for...at least 15 years. What I AM annoyed with however, constantly, is how quickly batterys go flat.
Nope. You as satellite operator are responsible for requisite communications permits as a pre-requisite for your launch permits, including Earth to Space, Space to Earth, and Space to Space, all of which are separate item and while you can put any combination of multiple ones of them in a single application to the regulatory body, you end up with separate permits for each. In that scenario You would have to get a bunch of information from spaceX in order to prove to the regulator that your not going to interfere with the operation of the entire starlink constellation (spaceX providing the hardware is not sufficient proof). What SpaceX could do is provide a module that connected to the StarLink inter-satellite laser links they are planning to add in between the StarLink satellites.

Like I said, there’s really only two scenarios to change this. One is that we get regulatory change, which the ITU (the people globally in charge of radio regulation between countries, the FCC and ACMA coordinates their respective countries compliance with ITU regulations in order to meet extremely well established treaty obligations, the ITU is over a hundred years old) rejected the need for in their last meeting, based on evidence gathered in the years before that, essentially this entire scenario will break down when Starship slashes launch costs and they will either rule with an iron fist or bend to allow ISM band style approaches in space. The other is if
laser communication systems come down significantly in price, the current cheapest I’ve seen is a one way (space to ground) link for “$10000 USD” list price and that wasn’t available ready to order and had no flight heritage so I’d be unsurprised if the price became $25k USD when it finally had some flight heritage. (One of the nasty secrets of aerospace engineering is how much Commercial “Off The Shelf” hardware is actually just built to order based on an approved design) and you need two way units to actually become cheap enough they aren’t more expensive than a radio permit is, which they aren’t at the moment since most people would have to both get the satellite hardware in the order of a hundred thousand or more, and also build a dedicated observatory with a sufficiently good telescope and powerful enough laser as their ground station which will probably set you back at least $50k unless you score as bargain or strike a deal with someone operating an experimental one.
While I do agree that fundamentally the issue needs to be tackled on a political level, I don't agree that individual changes don't impact that individual.

I don't think it's possible (for most) to have complete privacy, but I don't think any (or very few) even want that, they just want more control over it. They don't want people they don't even know, to know more about them than people they do know.

Before the changes are (if they ever are) made from a political level, it's possible to take steps to have more control over what information is collected.
It's an elaboration of the fact that brain meat is not magic, and can't be magic, and everything we understand about the laws of physics leaves no room for future discoveries allowing for magic.

The statement that there is no afterlife is equivalent to the statement that the sun is not made of spaghetti. There's no possible math, context, perspective, or arrangement of facts that would allow the sun to be made of spaghetti.

Your consciousness resides in your neocortex, the thin sheet of neurons on the surface of your brain. We know this because when injury or illness disrupts or damages its operation, your consciousness goes away. It's maintained if there's injury or illness anywhere else.

There's no room for disembodied mystery. There's no room in the laws of physics for information transfer such that the pattern of physical connections and electrochemical activity in your brain to be communicated intact when you die. Everything we know about the universe leaves no mechanism for your mind to continue after biological death.

We will eventually scan brains, and at some point we might be able to extend our minds into machines and maintain our consciousness after the biological parts die. We don't know enough about the nuanced particulars of neuroscience but the challenges are a matter of resolution, scale, signal strength, and not damaging a living system. There's no mystery to the phenomena of consciousness allowed by laws of physics.

Multiverse or simulation theory leaves room for some different level of reality where the substrate of your mind resides. Those are interesting abstractions, but there's no evidence or theory to suggest either of those contexts are valid.

It's not arrogant to assert that the moon isn't made of cheese or the sun is not made of pasta, or that there is no life after death.

It seems to me that insisting on those things in the face of evidence would be arrogant, as you would be claiming that you know better than everything that can be proven, all of those things for which we have evidence and explanation.
> Trying to understand how an intelligent person could come to an opposite conclusion will improve your thinking ability.

I don't think you can term flat-earthers intelligent. That's a dangerously low bar.

> A good method for this is: pick an idea that you are 100% sure is true. Not "the Earth is round" but "X value is good." Then search for people who disagree.

This is a neat trick (does it have name?), but the true value is in realising their fallacies to hone your own thought process, not why / how they convinced themselves through deliberation, and contemplation, and divine knowledge, and self-enlightenment, and what have you.

> Nowadays "saving" let's say 20USD for Netflix per month is - in my opinion - a very bad bargain considering the fact, that you can end up paying a lot of punitive damages.

Funny thing is that pirated content is the only ethical content I know of, that doesn't rely on ads (streaming services have ads too, even if you pay)
You're after posix_spawn(2) :D
If anything, even a flat percentage does not create equality. If I was fined 30% of my annual income for something, it'd suck, but I'd just take it out of savings. But many lower earners who'd pay much less would struggle with the same. But fines as a percentage would at least be an improvement.
Read the next sentence too.

> That does not necessarily mean that piracy has no effect but only that the statistical analysis does not prove with sufficient reliability that there is an effect.

Absence of evidence != evidence of absence.
What would be a specific real world scenario where you would actually smash your sim with a brick?
Idk, we have a bunch of VM optimizations and innovations, unikernels.

I also think PL innovations are going to usher in a new revolution at the bottom of the stack, just by making systems programming more accessible. I mean, Rust has already made inroads into existing OSes, and the increased accessibility will inevitably lead to more exciting experiments soon.

> And structures, unions, pseudo-meta programming via the macro processors,

Those exists in macro assemblers, for they are extremely thin abstractions, no thicker than jumping to a label instead of jumping to an absolute or relative address.

> no exposure to IO unless on a CPU with MMIO.

Well, since not all processors have I/O instructions (or dedicated I/O pins), the easiest way to implement portability is simply to not provide a direct access to them in the language, and let library functions handle it.
This works both ways. If you're unwilling to respond to the most basic questions about the job, how serious are you, and/or why are you concealing that information?
True, but as an illustration of why "equal" is not objective the above works. To talk about real equality we first need to define what we mean. And certainly, a percentage will also not deliver equal effect.
It's really depend on where you live and want to work. I suppose that even in the US you'll find a vast difference between companies in different regions.
There are many companies that are going hybrid and allow to workers to choose how much time to spend in the office. I'm sure it will be very useful to you.
He mentioned industry research labs also.

I figure a lot of people tagging do the shotgun blast of tags: just add a bunch of relevant tags to increase visibility. They probably don't consider people actually searching this phrase in particular.
If you are going to use the HN 'catnip' of 'Rust', surely the title should be:
"Kajiya: Experimental real-time global illumination renderer made with Vulcan and Rust"?

'Rust' is not the name of the project?
Erm...Copilot still writes procedures and data types, most of which I have to describe one by one.

And I still have to review all of them.

How is that "4th level abstraction" whatever the current usage of the term?
Because a) it's not as much based around a hatred of anything, more a worldview that refuses to resign the mysterious to the supernatural, b) because when you make the call that you must be atheist, given your world view, you are forced to question your position on morality and where you stand in society, humanity and indeed the universe. Nothing is hand waved away and you are now wholly responsible for your own definitions of these things, and the potential alienation that may result.

I can see how there is overlap between spirituality and atheism, as there's no need for a god or belief in most of the subjects that seem to fall under spirituality. Especially when we exist in a universe, the chances of which even existing are infinitesimally minute, that is so breathtaking that most of us have resorted to filling in the knowledge gaps of how and why with best guesses. It is so wondrous that, god or not, you can feel plenty spiritual just experiencing it.

Whether personal spirituality should be your life's focus when there's so much at play on Earth, however, is another question.
On Darwin fork() doesn't necessarily give you a complete environment - the cloned process is essentially only intended for a few basic operations prior to calling exec()

So it isn't just windows and linux having a different way, Darwin goes its own way as well :D

That said, if you read the paper it details all the known problems of fork:

* It isn't thread safe

* It doesn't compose - every library on the address space must support fork

* It breaks basic security features - ASLR being the most obvious one, but there are sandbox issues (Darwin), pledges (BSD), capabilities (Fuchsia)

The paper also details the myriad performance problems of the API.

fork/exec is also very slow due to the need to duplicate enough OS data structures to support the forked child despite it not being useful in the general case to separate these. Even POSIX recognizes this and specifies posix_spawn() which is faster than fork/exec on all POSIX environments.
Seems like you are using books as they are intended. You do not need to be orthodox to the idea that is represented by such books just be inspired by them. This is especially true for maths, but also books like the Bible were you can not read the book and then know Christianity, you need the principles .
In the meantime, as long as I can stand up and walk, I'm gonna walk over to the light switch to turn it on/off.
I'd say it's much harder for kids to pay any amount of money online than to spend lots of time figuring out a workaround. And when they learn to pirate as a kid, they'll carry that knowledge into their adult life.
Yes I can understand that but by any practical purpose all the plugs I used around the world should be more or less equally safe, with unnoticeable differences. A truly dangerous plug design would have killed enough people to be discarded by now. We're using local optima and the cost to move to the global one, whichever it is, outweighs the benefit.

I live in Italy and recently the number of appliances sold with a German plug increased. I guess it costs less for the manufacturer to sell the same plug everywhere. They are offloading the costs to customers because not all sockets in my home accept that plug. Some of them are not multi standard, even the high Ampere ones. Eventually manufacturers could standardize plugs much more than regulations do.
> But Netflix has 213 million users

Nitpicking, but Netflix has 213 millions subscribers, not users.

We don't know how many of them are active or how many people are using them.

We simply know they paid one time.
I don't feel we ready the article the same way, interesting.

Early in it makes a strong and specific claim :

"The purpose of DRM is to give content providers leverage against creators of playback devices."

This is explicitly stated and I believe a meaningful hypothesis to explore and base an article around. It frames the argument instead of just "creator vs pirates" as "one industry vs another" which is a sufficiently different ballgame. I found it quite in line with title.

For sure it was not omicron.

But that is not what this subthread is about. We had ~83% vacrate and record high infections. And health care nearing capacity.

And OP was doubting the effeciacy of the vaccines. Maybe he is right. High vacrates don't seem to do much.

Long ago I found an approach to 3D modeling [1] that used a morphable model that was then morphed into the desired shape. Would something like this be possible for voice? A voice model obtained from a gigantic set of samples, that can be manually tuned to sound more masculine/feminine, higher/lower pitched and that can be morphed into the timbre of various samples.

I am a strong proponent of not using anything that forces you to use OOP as "baby's 1st language". Well I see OOP as a heresy in general tho. To me programming is about algorithms and data structures and data flow. Not some strange concept of OOP that does not even have an exact definition and you can see some extremists claiming that literally everything is OOP.
Dump question I guess, but I would like to follow what is said in the security & compliance section. There is a button "follow" that redirects me to a login page.

I am supposed to provide credentials to either a "root" account or an "IAM" account.

Assuming I have neither, I do not use AWS by myself and just want to take part in the discussion forums, should I create a root account or an IAM account?
I believe it depends on the provider - in Italy there are three that currently support esims. A couple (Tim, Vodafone) let you rescan the qr-code multiple times with different phones. The third (Wind) provides a one time use qr-code, you need to show up at the shop and buy a new code (no idea if the serial is the same or not).

In every case you still need to wait for the qr-code to be posted at your mailbox (even if you can sign the contract online).
It's neat to see this in a browser, but I never really liked playing the game. The visuals are cool, but the life-like movement always annoyed me.
"they told me it was just a couple disgruntled former employees trying to make the company look bad" is still deceptive with this setup. If they really don't have any inside info, why make that claim?
Yes I found it on app store page. Thank you for clarification. Good work on the app.
Although I do agree with the mission of archiving content, I find it quite interesting to be willing to pay for an organisation to archive content as a way to get content for free rather than pay for the content itself.

It's a bit of a conundrum because we need both, so ideally everyone would pay for both. It costs money to archive content, it also costs money to produce it.

Now this is under the assumption you're praising archiving services as a workaround paywalls, but I may have misinterpreted your comment: in which case feel free to correct me!
Show HN: I made a Chrome extension to explain code in plain English
Hello HN community,
I just launched the MVP of Codexplainer. It is an AI tool to explain code in plain English on any site on the internet. It even supports your favorite sites like Stackoverflow and Github. And I am looking forward to adding support to all the coding-related sites out there.

Here is the link to the app: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/codexplainer/mekad...

I will not say that this tool is 100% perfect. It has its flaws. But I am 100% positive that this tool will get better with days. And I can imagine the impact it is going to have on the learning experience of developers.

The app is free.

Most of the developers are learners and come from developing countries, so I don't think it is fair to ask them to pay to use the app. I want the app accessible to everyone and ease their learning flow.

If you are interested, please try the app and give me feedback and suggestions. Leave a good rating in the chrome web store if you find it useful. This is just an MVP and I am looking forward to iterating on your feedback.
Back when Google Books still showed entire pages for every search result, you could just script a search for each page number, and rip an entire book that way.
> pick an idea that you are 100% sure is true. Not "the Earth is round" but "X value is good." Then search for people who disagree.

The risk, of course, is getting convinced otherwise and having to live with that, in cases where "X value is good" is a socially useful and/or mandatory lie. Learning to think comes with its own dangers: knowing something isn't true requires more energy to hide it, and civilization is built on layers of lies. You could've gotten your head chopped off in the middle ages, for instance, for thinking anything naughty against the church and its leaders.
