Fair point. Because I'm mainly working in public repos, it's psychological. It requires some degree of mental effort whenever I think about pushing something because it's then in public for people to see. I judge people on their public commits so I rather suspect people will do the same as me. "Naming things is one of the hard problems in computer science" - a public commit requires several naming decisions (commit message, branch, deciding "foo" is not a great name for a variable). I sometimes don't want to break my flow to make those decisions. And sometimes that means I put off a commit for longer than I should.

Whereas - my backup happens automatically and continually. It's not tied to my indecision, choices or personal failings. It just works.

So - I strongly recommend everyone uses version control. And I strongly recommend they augment it with AUTOMATIC off-site backups.
This smells like when society generally thought weed had no long-term effects and wasn't addictive. Mushrooms anecdotally seem to have dose dependent long term effects, including disconnecting from reality, sometimes in destructive ways.
is this what it's actually doing though? It doesn't say the reuseport option to the listen directive is required for this.
It makes sense if you look at AMD's reasoning. They state it's intended to be the "World’s Fastest Gaming Processor", so a single chiplet CPU makes sense. It seems this is a bit of a market tester, as they also state that productivity workloads will be either impacted negatively or not at all because of the slightly lower clock speed. I hope if this product does well we'll get the other models with the same cache configuration.
No, what's being sold is ownership of a unique set of metadata stored in a blockchain. There's nothing connecting a NFT to an underlying asset.

It's like if I gave you the opportunity to buy the words "The Empire State Building" written on a napkin with a promise to never write those words on any other napkin. You might buy that if, say, I was famous. That's an NFT. You're not the new owner of the Empire State building.
I often wonder how rugby feels about the co-opting of the word. The modern on-field scrum is a pale shadow of its former self.
Similar experience here, but with a different hallucinogen. It has forever changed me, so I wanted to share. My close friend had a psychotic break due to daily marijuana use and is now on psychiatric drugs to control symptoms. She was always creative, but she could tell the difference between fantasy and reality. During the break, it was like she was rolling constantly and couldn't stop. She was hearing voices. Thinking that 2D images were alive. For months on end. She was ranting, crying, acting uncharacteristically pompous, then crumbling into a heap of shame. This is a professional middle-aged person who was living a full life.

My understanding is that for folks who are genetically predisposed, a life trigger can manifest in a mental health condition that likely never would have surfaced. Triggers may include in utero trauma, child abuse or chemical imbalance due to stress or controlled substances. Hallucinogens can trigger a serious mental health condition in an individual who may have lived an otherwise mentally stable life. Not unlike needing to watch cholesterol in a family who suffers from heart disease, perhaps. So, yeah, when I read "... in healthy people" it made me go hmmmm.

But still, psilocybin is not marijuana. And this is great news for those suffering from treatment-resistant depression and PTSD.
I hate scrum but Jira is easy to use.
POWER10's memory architecture offers a TB/s in memory bandwidth per die.
And about another TB/s in other bandwidth for SMP and IO.
Only using this all for memory, they'd be at an equivalent of around 80 channels.
Not quite the 140, but much closer than 8.
individual transport vs shared is a matter of compromise. Human drivers only go fast (when there is no congestion the autobahn with no speed limit doesn't in practice move any faster than US freeways for the majority of users of each). Trains today have the ability to go faster than human drivers. Trains carry far more people than cars. Thus replacing most trips with train trips would be faster and cheaper for most people.

Note that I said most trips there. If you don't have a system useful enough that most people use it most of the time then people still need cars to get around and that changes the calculation. it can be very hard to get there.
Despite him not saying "Scrum", the structure he's describing is not Scrum anyway. It might be close to what some people understand when they say "Scrum", but it is not Scrum.
Maybe it is overblown, I can generally go a while without a smoke, and could probably quit with relative ease if I wanted to. Surely it’s no heroin withdraw and certainly not as bad as alcohol withdraw, but it’s the quickest I’ve ever come to developing any physical addiction symptoms. The withdraw is real too, but mostly bearable.
A container though should be immutable and ideally shouldn't have changes made to it. If the container were to die, it'd revert back to the old version? It looks to me like these seamless upgrades would be an anti pattern to containers.

With ingress you'd have a load balancer in front or have it routed in the network layer using BGP.

The IBM PC was the first computer IBM made that used entirely off the shelf chips except one: the BIOS

The BIOS chip was just copied outright for the first clones, but that was ruled illegal in court so later compatibles reverse engineered the code and made their own.
I mostly agree with the sentiment, but other prices which factor in to their operating costs will eke up over time as their suppliers also add on their 4% hikes to get to 'living wage'. Over time prices will go up, but... so what? They've already gone up plenty for a variety of reasons over the years.
The context of this thread is about Virginia which is part of the I-95 corridor, the most densely populated area in the country, with a population density comparable to many Western European countries[1].

This is like the one region of the country you actually could scale up intercity/state transport, and it sucks so bad that Amtrak is terrible.

From a very quick cursory search: this is using VB's `Rnd` to generate random "keys," which is a massive warning sign[1]. `Rnd` is not cryptographically secure[2] and you should not use it for anything remotely close to key generation.

Edit: I also can't find any evidence that this tool changes the default block mode for `RijndaelManaged`[3], which is CBC. Without any other mitigations (which I can't find), this makes this tool vulnerable to a chosen ciphertext attack.

I hope they make it impossible for OpenSea staff to insider trade and wash trade. Well, I would hope that, but it seems that there’s no meaningful way for OpenSea to actually enforce such a ban. And this isn’t a hypothetical flaw in OpenSea. It is known that at least one employee (OpenSea’s former head of product, Nate Chastain) has done insider trading on OpenSea an unknown number of times, likely profiting 18.875 ether or more, which is over $50k. Not exactly small potatoes here. Worse is that he was front-running front page content before it went live on the homepage.

We desperately need the decentralized exchange (DEX) equivalent to the centralized exchange that is OpenSea. I could swear I heard about a DEX for NFTs, maybe someone in the comments has some links.

Yes, it used to work that way here. I don't believe it's USA only though, this environmental protection system appears to be used in Canada as well. Apparently these systems aren't needed any longer as vehicles built since 2006 have vapor recovery systems built in (which is also why it's detrimental to your vehicle to "top up" your fuel tank now).
I wonder what you think the point of HN is? Do you think that this is a community for sharing peer-reviewed studies?

If you're not interested in reading opinions and comments from an open forum that anyone can join, then maybe it is better for you to stop reading these comments.

For me, I think OP's comment was completely reasonable, and at any rate, the headline with which the conclusions of this study appears is at best incomplete, and deserves to be criticised.
What actually hapens in practice is that the sandwich place will advertise $7 sandwiches on their menu, but in small print say they'll automatically add an "optional" $1 fee to all items at check-out.

It's far beyond what's needed to cover increased wages, and they don't even have the guts to list prices honestly.
Somehow, I don't think that people coming to restaurants with ingredient lists hoping to order off-menu is a real driver for economic problems.
> no short- or long-term detrimental effects

And yet, all my friends who started using mushrooms now post pseudo-spiritual/pseudo-philosophical/pseudo-mystical yet completely nonsensical thoughts on social media. You can tell they think it's super deep and meaningful, but for us sober folk it just seems a little nutty. Stuff like: "We are the UNIVERSE. For the universe is within us." or "The Matrix is a system. That system is our enemy. The very minds of the people that need to be saved are not ready to be unplugged. They will fight to protect their truth, as they should. The saving can only come from within." From my sober perspective, it seems like psilocybin causes some users to lose a degree of grip on reality/rationality which I consider "detrimental" (though the users themselves claim it's "enlightening")
Blocking w3schools, I was not sure but I think you are right, MDN is just much better
The part you missed is if they raise the worker pay by 50% then the C-level pay also needs to increase by 50% to maintain the proper ratio and that raises the prices much more than 4%.

Who has access to this data and who owns it?
I agree that scrum is dumb but abstract size estimates are dumb too for the same reason. All that matters is time, and if time is variable per person then… record the time it would take per person. I have never worked in a team where sizing ever worked, because junior says large, senior says small, the facilitator settles on medium… and then the junior ends up doing it and takes twice as long as expected.

Your anology assumes everyone knows where the building is, that they know how to run etc etc
> buying useless tokens with the sole intention of later selling them for a higher price

Also not a pyramid or Ponzi scheme (as you probably know) or much different than Beanie Babies. This is how capitalism is supposed to work.

> Not to mention obvious Ponzi schemes

The obvious ones are the ones which actually are Ponzi schemes (eg BitConnect, PlusToken).
Yea sure, but you ignore that Chipotle and McDs have magnitudes larger supply chain optimizations, cash reserves, and operate in high and low cost markets such that there is more margin to keep the business afloat when there is a squeeze.
Only if you insist on the most cynical and uncharitable reading of their comment possible. But that does seem to be the case, unfortunately!

I don't think it's controversial for someone to say: "When I travel, I'd rather have the company of people who live in the place I'm visiting, instead of other travelers". I struggle to see how the original comment conveyed much more than that.
He isn't describing the true state of the world. Banks, brokerages, mortgage providers, and medical entities mostly don't use oauth2 and won't use this stuff either.

The world is still old school.

Grandpa dies and I go find the paper will.

I get an affidavit from a lawyer and a death certificate with a seal from the state.

I go into the bank with a bunch of papers and they figure out what to do.

There isn't a chain of trust that the state uploads a PK signed death certificate to, which in conjunction with a PK signed 'will and trust' then triggers a preexisting blockchain contract to effect the asset transfer.

This is 20 or 30 years off. Maybe 10 or 15 in China.
Their selling point is that you won't. You will get a lot less results with it too. Liking it so far, can't say I've run into spam with it
They're hosting copyrighted material (images, perhaps just cached?) without permission. They had a takedown process that they've now eschewed in favor of making artists give up more personal details to get something taken down.

The interesting problem here is that they have started giving artists and their takedown requests the runaround. Like they're running out the clock and trying to placate the bots for as long as possible without taking things down. The intent and actions here is what may get them in trouble.

Artists can go to their host directly (Google) but that doesn't mean that OpenSeas isn't liable the same way torrent sites might be for their users' content.
Good luck to you.
Gravity Could Solve Clean Energy’s One Major Drawback
I understand where you're going with this, and while I don't really "disagree", I think it's a bit of a stretch to go from Nuremberg justifications of murder to "installing some stuff that makes your computer slow because someone asked you to". Should "just following orders" fully absolve you of guilt, even on a small scale? No, definitely not, but I feel like the language you used is loaded.

Most engineers on HN aren't solely developing for non-profits and charities, we're writing software for for-profit entities, and most of the really big for-profit entities are pretty evil (e.g. Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, etc). It's not unreasonable to condemn people for working for these companies, but I think it's important to put into perspective the scale and intent of most of the people working there.
VC Capital or Bootstrap?
yaawn another one of these rants

>Let’s start with the government paying our workers to stay home. First, let me say that anyone high risk, or with young kids at home, I understand. This isn’t about you. But I’m talking about the restaurant industry here. We employed 1.7M teens in the US before the pandemic. Of course they rather get paid to Netflix & chill than scrub dishes. I don’t blame them. I’m not exaggerating. I know this. How? Cause they told me. They’d ask to only work a few shifts a week or else they’d stop getting their ‘free money’ (ie our tax dollars). This made it nearly impossible for us to stay open. It’s gotten a bit better as these programs wrapped up, but in Canada at least, they are talking about bringing them back.

I don't think a couple of infrequent Covid stimulus checks is the equivalent of paying people to not work. Even minimum wage pays a lot more than Covid checks.

This article is full of generalizations and assumptions that are wrong or exaggerated. Lettuce being 15% more expensive does not mean the final product is 15% more expensive. That is because there are a lot of inputs that go into determining the price besides the raw materials. Where I live I only noticed 2 restaurants closed out of probably 50. Some cut hours or only do drive-though. A long way from being fucked as the title suggests.
I think if you watch that 4k video with nearest neighbor downsampling (i.e. the player which drops 75% of pixels and only render 25% of them, one from each 2x2 quad), you’ll get worse quality.

Fortunately, that’s not how video players normally resize the videos they play. At the very least, players are using bilinear sampling. For the exact 50% downsampling of 4k into 1080p, this means the GPU averages 2x2 quad of the source video texture into one output pixel. This averaging step hides substantial amount of codec artifacts. That bilinear sampling is even borderline free on GPUs: they have tons of VRAM bandwidth, and texture samplers are dedicated fixed-function pieces of hardware.

If you’re using Windows and Media Player Classic, the player has a preference to switch resizing algorithm, Options, Playback, Output, “Resizer” combobox.
They had nothing like the Modern age's science. I can't imagine any reason for it not appearing there given enough time, but they didn't have the dispassionate questioning of every theory and total submission to empiricism that are fundamental to science today.

Math advanced a huge amount during the Medieval age. They simply didn't have good tools for calculations, and nearly all of the Modern Age's math was based on questions that they didn't even consider to ask by then.

There were huge advances on material handling during the Medieval and Modern ages. Not only the obvious ones on metallurgy, but on glass working and ceramics too. All of those were important.

And let's not underestimate the individuals. Had Newton not been born, our Industrial Revolution could be delayed for many decades too. Anyway, it's no accident that when he appeared, he was at England, there was basically no other place on the world where somebody like him could do what he did.
Lol was thinking this yesterday when I was explain school years to my grade schoolers. You know, 2nd grade was from 2020-2021 and third is 2021-2022.

Half way through I was thinking, we could probably go back to 2 digit years now. . ..
The overall goal is to assist as much as possible. It's steps forward for us all.
Careful now, you'll get accused of being in the Rust Hype Squad.

Snark aside, this is what Rust proponents like myself have been trying to say. Rust isn't some magical panacea to all of the problems we face in computing, but it does solve some frustrating and endemic problems outright while making others significantly more tractable. And that it manages to do so without sacrificing execution performance (though at a generally reasonable cost in compilation times) and keeping code complexity more manageable than equivalent C/C++ code is just icing on the cake.

What the language adds in complexity—in my experience at least—reduces the complexity of my own programs and makes it much simpler to write them and reason about them. There's definitely a learning curve as the language "wants" you to structure programs a certain way while it takes time to build up the intuition for doing so. But having done that, I've been able to apply those lessons to my projects in other languages to great success.
Story: Technology made changed the wold for better

More accurate story: Technology + bloody change in the social structures made the world better.
Flash was 20 years ahead of its time (even though it already had its share of fame).

Apple killed it to pave way for the App Store. It was a shame because around that time Flash was at its peak of innovation, with stuff like Alchemy (whose modern day equivalent could be WebAssembly) and Flex (no-code thingy that was TRULY catching up, only 10 years ago). It was also starting to implement features like atomics, shared data buffers, app bundles, hardware-accelerated 3D, etc... They also went to great lenghts to open their VM, and the ecosystem that was being generated around that was awesome (anyone here used haXe back then?). It was also present on like 99% of devices already and it was the only thing at the time that truly felt like "write once, run anywhere" (HTML wasn't as feature-rich and still quite fragmented between browsers).

Flash was the single biggest threat to Apple's planned business model, and with it gone, Apple's road to becoming a trillion-dollar company has been a walk in the park.
The Global Economy Ignores Developing Nations at Its Own Peril
Yes, it is! I even had the chance to talk to Kim Stanley Robinson about it :)
Here's what I don't understand. I the example the author gives, a sandwich is $11, and at let's say 9% profit margin the restaurant makes $1 on it. Why not make the sandwich $12 and double your profit? Sure it doesn't make a huge difference for the customers.
I would argue that pointless is a key modifier here.

There are many meetings that are valuable, but they are valuable because people put effort into making that time valuable outside the meeting. Meetings should prove themselves.
The author of this article says most of the staff we're talking about here makes minimum wage, so we don't so much have to scare-quote "living wage".
Cambodia aims hybrid digital currency on blockchain at unbanked

My dad had the same attitude about 10-15 years ago. The printer wasn't working. I found it didn't work because an AV product (maybe even Norton?) was slowing down the printer driver and hit some kind of timeout. I disabled AV.

A few months later they fell to a ransomware attack. The name of somebody they didn't know very well but recognized the name of had shown up with an attachment. I wondered if the AV product would have caught it.
sigh I mean, I'm not a huge fan of how Scrum gets done (yeah yeah, True Scotsman) and all that, but I have so many issues with this.

Problem #1 "Scrum is vague" - no indication why that's a problem. If scrum claims to be agile, it has to be somewhat vague, because it has to leave room for the retro to lead to actionable change.

Problem #2 "The Sprint" - Artificial stopping points aren't a problem. As he mentions, good devs may pick up something new, but speaking as a manager...I don't actually care. I trust the devs to figure out the best use of their time at that point; if it's starting something new, okay, and that will affect our future estimates. If it's working on non-functional stuff ("let me add some better tests around that thing that keeps breaking"), also great. If it's training/learning ("I've always wondered what the hubbub around Rust is..."), also great. And if it's taking a break ("Man, I'm mentally exhausted. I just want some time off"), also great. There is literally no outcome that isn't a positive, because we already got the stuff we wanted to get done, done, and I trust my team to actually determine what is going to be the best use of their time.

Problem #3 "The Scrum Master" - I generally agree with this. It's a role, not a position. That said, in especially messed up orgs, the position was 100% warranted, and it truly did help me manage upwards.

Problem #4 "Estimates" - Op mentions "workload -> time" as the goal of estimates. No. They aren't. Story points are chosen -specifically- to break that connection. Because the temptation, if we correlate to time, is for stakeholders to say "We need this tomorrow! You said it would be 1 point! 1 point is 1 day, I expect it tomorrow!". The temptation is also to bias our estimates; my estimate for a task that we don't need until 6 months from now is going to be quite a bit different from my estimate that you're pressuring me to deliver in two days (in fact, my definition of what the task -is- might change!). By using story points we break all of that. Estimates don't change due to time pressure (because they aren't based on time), and the team can't be held to a certain time for completing them (because they aren't based on time). Nevertheless, we get something we can use at a higher level to determine if a project is going to be late or not.
If you use KDE wobbly windows are built in to its KWin compositor. :) I forget the exact details of how to get to it since I don't use KDE anymore (long-ish story), but even most of the silly things Compiz did are a configuration checkbox away in KDE.
