I think the writers of the film WarGames liked it too. They seemed to imitate the call with the phrase "Skybird calling Dropkick" in an impressive radio DJ voice.

I noticed that GMRS radio IDs also have these effects on people sometimes. When I call with my ID in a place like Yosemite I'll hear other people on their FRS radios ask if they have a cool ID too. (Not that I think it is cool, but it's certainly different...and I think most prefer it to calling family and friends by name on a public radio band)
Not exactly mobile, they have an iPad app that'll let you login into the same account. But not available on Android tablets. Or on other phones, but clearly the technology is there.
Yup same here. So many for Shoppers Drug Mart or other silliness. They’re very clearly fake and have all the tell-tale signs of spam that Google used to properly filter for me. I’m very surprised at the recent drop in quality and it’s had me looking at other providers.

My mistake. In that case, it'd likely be more reasonable to get a vehicle to the observatory, boost it back to Earth orbit, and then attempt to return it to L2 after on orbit servicing. I don't know what that Delta-v budget looks like, although I'm happy to throw coffee money someone's way if they want to do the math in this thread.
Of course you're right. I read your code again, and I stand corrected. Well done.
So my understanding of DDR5 has on chip ECC is needed due to the ever increasing need for -Ofast, will/does PCIe have the same requirements?
They did, you can see the consequences of that in Malheur.
Locking the filesystem doesn't necessarily mean developing with them is impossible. What is preventing IDEs from working is the inability to execute unsigned binaries combined with the absence of signing binaries locally. And I agree, I too see this as an invitation to fornicate myself, a personal invitiation signed by google and Apple no less.
That feeling when iPhone finally gets a feature I had on my TouchPad.
> Is it not (along a logarithmic scale) a halfway point between poverty and truly rich?

No. Traditionally the middle class was at least as rich as the upper class. What made them a "middle class" was that they weren't highborn, like the upper classes, but they also weren't poor, like the lower classes.
> Is there an implementation out there of hot reload that doesn't simply automate hitting the refresh key in the browser?

Yes, there are some setups where the code reloads but the state stays there. I’ve worked like this with Clojure/ClojureScript in the past; for example if you’re working on a pop-in that appears after a click on a button, with window.reload()-based hot reloads you have to click on the button each time you reload the code, whereas with a state-preserving hot reload you don’t. It’s very useful on SPAs.
Sorry, that's what the consumer pays. It includes transmission to the home.

Git itself has a config flag to tell it to always use https:// instead of git://. It's often been recommended for Windows users of git as sometimes the only way out of some peculiar submodule holes (on a platform where SSH was a second class citizen for many decades).

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

There are versions of that config line more specific to individual hosts if you didn't want to blanked cover every git host, but it's probably a good idea at this point to instead ask those other hosts if they would consider adding https:// support.
Here's the AP story: https://apnews.com/article/united-states-national-security-t...

And in an attempt to find a universally accepted starting point, a definition: "terrorism - the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion"

I'd hope that everyone can agree it's worthwhile having a dedicated branch of the DoJ looking at incidents of lawbreaking that meet that definition, even if perpetrated by legal residents of the US.
It's been a persistent source of black comedy that basic messaging across almost every platform with even some encryption, mixed media, workable audio and some experimental video chat was like a solved problem in 2008 and seemed like it would be totally in the bag and then a complete dumpster fire again by about 2016.

Even people like me that hated MS and AOL had chat clients that could communicate with their networks and Google Talk/Hangouts and MSN Messenger were both great for what they were. At the time I felt like we had lost something important by moving to "push" networks versus e-mail but I'd take those days now in a heartbeat. Maybe by 2030, something like Matrix will have us back to what XMPP was doing and I'll be able to send a message to someone's shitty Teams from whatever Google's fifth chat replacement is by then.

It's even worse when I'm traveling in east Asia and there are like 5 different Korean and several Chinese chat networks in addition to WhatsApp trying to be the next LINE and becoming the one-stop access point for nearly everything. I'm honestly expecting to see a 7-11 integrated messaging network at some point.
These are good points.

They are not the elements of your initial nor follow-up comments with which I've had issue. And you continue to not address those.

As for what might lead to low-fuel-but-serviceable observatory: reaction-wheel degreadation shy of failure (there are multiple redundant wheels for each axis of rotation), possibly some kind of solar-storm or solar-wind interaction which increases station-keeping requirements.

It's difficult to foresee what previously anticipated scenarios might emerge, for all the obvious reasons. But if I had a $10 billion low-on-fuel observatory on my hands, it was still turning in good science, and my capabilities to provide it with fuel had improved markedly, and there was nothing else obviously imminantly limiting lifetime ... I might opt for the top-up. Even at a cost of a few sheckles.

Keep in mind that the opportunity cost isn't the amortised value of the observatory, but its projected future life and the cost of replacing that functionality. I don't know what the associated values here are. I could envision a reality in which those turned favourable for a refueling mission.

Which, again, contradicts your original, and several-times-sustained, "completely unneeded" assertion.

The horse seems quiet well flogged, and in the interests of a peaceful death, I'm begging off further beating of it.
"The proposal, named Project Defuse, was rejected by DARPA over safety concerns and the notion that it violated the gain of function research moratorium. However, according to the documents, NIAID, under the direction of Dr. Fauci, went ahead with the research in Wuhan, China and at several sites across the U.S."
8 lane GPU is viable for a long time (benchmarks on PCIe 8x versus 16x shows a 5% perf difference), but it did not change the physical layout the motherboard manufacturers use; you cannot use the existing lanes any way you want, on some motherboards you cannot even split it the way you want between physical connectors and video card manufacturers continue to push 16x everywhere.
Is this a new standard, or yet another thing Google is pushing and everyone else have to implement?
It's a good introduction, and it's a good document to introduce the problems induced by WebSockets (which Ably can come in an solve at scale).

I recently wrote about the Woes of Websocket: http://www.adama-lang.org/blog/woe-of-websocket with an errata based on HN feedback: http://www.adama-lang.org/blog/more-websocket-woe

The depth of this topic is very interesting, and I'm excited as I'm building some of the final pieces for my SaaS (which could compete with Ably).
Both companies are in the wrong: Google for its half-assed and broken messaging solutions and its current claims that RCS will suffice, and Apple for promoting lock-in by only supporting iMessage and SMS and nothing else and being quite clear that they consider this a competitive advantage.

There needs to be an interoperable, highly functional solution that doesn't depend on wireless carriers.
That's what I was discussing also, I speculated the site could have a Terms of Service clause for privacy protection. (It probably doesn't)
Even AOL Instant Messenger was awesome! I used it for almost 20 years. AOL could've turned it into Slack back in the 2000's. I used to work for startups that used private AIM chat rooms for ops issues, deployments, etc.
Yes, they have the Radeon Open Compute project (ROCM) but they seem to be intent on following the tensorflow from a few stable versions behind. Additionally, and likely this is not something they can do anything about, but if you are using a Linux VM instead of running it natively, ROCM does not work. I had attempted to do this to get some use of the AMD GPU that was in my Mac — no dice.

The holy grail would be a direct replacement backend that could be fed into TF, like CUDA.

I'm not an enterprise user, however, as a happy commercial Bitwarden user, I was annoyed that the company I worked for moved to LastPass relatively recently. I'd love to know what may have made them choose LP over Bitwarden.
There was a much bigger gap between 3.0 and 4.0. PCIe 3.0 was available with Sandy or Ivy Bridge, so 2011/2012. PCIe 4.0 was introduced with Zen 2 in 2019.

We seem to be back to a faster cadence now however.
That used to be the argument, same one that shields e.g. ISPs from having to censor their customers.

The difference with YouTube (and Facebook, etc) is that they recommend videos, and steering users to controversial/outrageous/extreme videos keeps those users on the platform watching more ads -- making them more money.

No, it's not just the energy consumption, the economic model isn't sound either. The upper ceiling on the supply isn't a feature, it's one of the reasons why you can't run an economy on Bitcoin.

Money so sound that it lost 30% of its value since November? I know that it's massively up long term but it's still a volatile asset measured against actual currencies; it doesn't function as money.

If it has a chance of succeeding in any way, it's to be an asset that people are convinced enough that it's a reliable investment similar to gold (gold's actual usefulness is a small fraction of the value so the comparison is close enough). So maybe people will keep buying Bitcoin for it's own sake and making dollars with it, who knows. But the "sound money" argument is bullshit.

> Bitcoiners care a lot about "sound money"

I doubt that most of them care. It's just that when you have a strong financial interest in something like Bitcoin going up in price, it's very easy to start inventing and believing all kinds of arguments that don't make sense.
All fair points, and I agree there are theoretically better solutions. It's just that in practice I've specifically seen Confluence and Basecamp fail due to lack of buy-in, and comment threads are good in Google docs/Quip but proliferation of docs is a problem. In my experience Slack has just been the least-bad in many cases, not that I think it's optimal. YMMV.
You don't need hygiene (WITH-GENSYMS and so on) in Common Lisp macros in two situations: when you do not introduce any new bindings and when you only introduce bindings that the user is allowed to name themself. That's why the following code:

(with-open-file (my-super-stream #p"/tmp/foo" ...) ...)

Can expand into something like this:

(let ((my-super-stream (open #p"/tmp/foo" ...))) ...)

Note that the variable name, MY-SUPER-STREAM, is provided by the user, so if there is any variable capture/shadowing present then it is of the user's own making and they can reap the benefits and costs of doing so.
> it reminds me of how hard reading a regular map is (cartesian N-S E-W) to someone who's never done it before

There’s a book by James C Scott, See Like a State, that talks (in part) about the notion of what you could consider human or experiential measures as opposed to surveyors or overseers measures - notions like distance for a human making the trip are better expressed in terms of time or difficulty (“A 3 days’ walk”) than actual map distance (“10 miles”), since 10 miles on a grassy plane is very different from 10 miles through mountains. Almost every way we talk about time, space, distance, and measures in the modern (western) world are in the style of surveyors, whereas premodern western cultures and other groups frequently spoke of things more experientially.

If the assessment of Tupaia’s map is correct, it’s solidly experiential - “look at the sun at noon, turn to where the next island is on this map, go that way.” Terrible for a surveyor, kind of brilliant for a sailor.
Wonder how the Biden admin will feel if he isn’t re-elected and the next administration inherits the domestic terrorism unit.

The classic argument against monopolies or oligopolies is “predatory pricing”. If the things being priced are components of an inflation index, how does this not contribute to inflation?
> "We have seen a growing threat from those who [...] ascribe to extremist anti-government and anti-authority ideologies," Matthew Olsen, the assistant attorney general of the department's National Security Division, told a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

I wonder what the discussions are like between the domestic security agencies (FBI, NSA, etc.) and the foreign insecurity agencies (CIA, NED, BRL, etc). Doesn't this undermine the efforts of the latter to e.g. overthrow governments in foreign nations?

Yes. Leftist activists tend to be pretty unenthusiastic about this stuff because any new tools, powers, or resources will be turned on us eventually.

Shit just in the last few years we've had pipeline protestors charged with domestic terrorism, BLM protestors facing gang enhancement felony charges for property damage (paint not arson if that matters).

It's good that the government is ready to back down its stance of "ignore extremist violence as long as they call themselves patriots" but I don't want to find out what the tucker carlson administration would do with a domestic terrorism task force ya know?
I'm certain the US government had more than one of these units prior to this announcement. I sense this is probably more of an organizational realignment more than anything else, kind of like how "The Space Force" was created by carving out elements from the other branches, mainly the Air Force, and calling it something new.

I'm going all-in on WebSockets, but I've also seen how to solve all those problems at massive scale. You're right that these challenges are hard, and I don't believe we have an ideal shared offering yet.

We have a cultural challenge of how to manifest the opportunity and benefits presented by context rich communication over the entrenched ideology of statelessness and HTTP.
I think the commenter was just trying to even the political playing field.

The threat list you provided seemed like it was from someone left-leaning. It did not mention the commonly-occurring mayhem, riots, vandalism, and arson coming from people describing themselves as affiliated with Leftist organizations (sorry, I cannot find better wording here. I am not trying to sound partisan here.)
How do you expect that to work? Apple doesn't allow third-party SMS apps, and as far as I understand RCS is also pretty closely tied in with carriers so it probably wouldn't work without official support from Apple either.
There aren't that many old, large-scale codebases in use that are failures. If most of these are not following what you consider to be best practices, maybe those practices aren't as advantageous as you assume.

I mostly object to the article which seems to be pretty explicitly pointing the finger at the web developer, for using 2 year old, standard features of their language. There's a problem between the user and the device manufacturer here.

A decade seems like a long time for first-party support but as I said in the sentence immediately after the one you quoted, a device should be required to be opened up when it is no longer supported.
Keepass does that, and is a password manager. Put the encrypted db in some path tracked by Dropbox or similar, and you have a fine setup.

Another commenter (“ahahahahah”) described it as the equivalent of a “report image” button, which I thought was apt - it preemptively reports on all the platforms that are participating with StopNCII. It comes down to each platform: Meta has specific rules against NCII (https://transparency.fb.com/policies/community-standards/sex...) - we prioritize potential NCII content as high severity and requiring immediate review to verify. However, just like hitting the report button on each of those platforms, they might have different rules.

I use websockets quite a lot, for real-time dashboard kind of purposes.

The one thing i really wish websockets had is some kind of application-level acknowledgement or backpressure.

At the server end, you're blasting out messages to the client, but you have no idea if it is keeping up with them. Most of the time, it will be, but if there is a sudden spike of activity, suddenly all your dashboards are going wild, and the client may start to struggle. At that point, you want to be able to shed some load - delay messages a bit, then drop any message which gets superseded (eg if "reactor core temperature is 1050K" is buffered and you get "reactor core temperature is 1100K", you can drop the former). To do that, you need feedback about how far the client has got with processing messages.

You can build a feedback mechanism like this into your application protocol on top of websockets easily enough. But you probably want to do that from the start, or else you will, like me, one day look around and realise that retrofitting it to all your dashboards is a monumental effort.

The RSocket protocol might be a good start - it provides reactive streams semantics, and has a binding to websockets:

https://rsocket.io/guides/rsocket-js
Nope, and it is a completely artificial restriction. For example:

- iPhone + iPad? Supported.

- Android Phone + Android Tablet? Supported.

- iPhone + iPhone (no SIM card/no phone number)? Not supported.

- Android Phone + Android Phone (no SIM card)? Not supported.

This, according to them, because they want to simplify the setup experience. But in reality adding a bypass option to the onboarding process to provide the tablet setup experience would be trivial and should have happened three years ago.

You can add this to the "list" like no Gifs on PC even though the code exists for mobile clients, and they share a lot of source code already.
> This is made worse by inexperienced managers who are now offloading management and project management responsibilities to their direct reports.

I thought this was just the currently orthodox management style in startups. Senior people manage themselves, junior people are guided by seniors, projects get managed by the people executing them. Management limits themselves to higher-level strategy. I've seen this from most of the managers I've had in the last, say, 5+ years. I prefer management that keeps in touch with the work that their reports are doing and knows enough to raise concerns, make suggestions, and make decisions when the team can't reach consensus, but I don't think that's how most people see the job of managing software developers right now.
At least AM5, which is coming soon, seems to improve the situation.
