I wrote without a debugger for most of the start of my career, but problem solving is about having the right information on hand, and for me a debugger lets me gather that information quicker, and it also lets me iterate faster.

There's another great benefit to a debugger, and that is troubleshooting long-running code or hard to prime iterations. Like for example, debugging a checkout flow can be very cumbersome as you have to prime the state for every test. There are plenty of workarounds if you have to log your way through it, but wouldn't it just be easier to use a tool designed for the job?
> Widespread piracy is a function of access to user-friendly pirating services like torrents or warez sites, not the ability to generate a pirated copy.

It's both. Easy generation of pirated copies also vastly increases the number of sources and the speed of propagation.

I remember when my public college was banned from starting new building projects due to state wide budget restrictions. The year the ban was lifted, half a dozen projects immediately kicked off.
"Dear latest gen Intel users, please upgrade from Cyberlink to BitTorrent".
f-strings would be part of Rust's grammar. `format` macro isn't available in `core` crate, but it is in `alloc` crate, so it needs to allocate memory.

f-strings on other hand would be pretty weird. Would `f"5"` return a &'static str or a String?
> Those subscribers have until January 31 to use the existing website interface to download DRM-free copies of any games' Mac or Linux versions.

This part makes the above seem pretty reasonable. They are making a business decision on which platforms to support or not, however, because the games are DRM-free, current Max and Linux subscribers can just download the games and cancel their subscription.
I've implemented your last suggestion of scoring words by how much they reduce the pool of potential candidates (12k+). Testing it against the 1,000 most frequent words (targets), the word LORES seems to work best on average.
I stopped worrying about down votes and HN dysfunction a while ago.

That aside, such information is a form of currency, and done right...untraceable. A term or two in office, is temporary. The involvement in this currency is forever.

>Currently we organise our Lords through capitalism.

And that's how I want it. I may have a low chance of winning but nobody argues against my right to throw my hat in the ring if I want to rise above my station. Nobody but the anticapitalists that is.
OK so most of the comments seem dismissive, picking on unfortunate statements (between Newton & Zuck) or an ungenerous reading of the claim.

I'll take the other side.

Consider psychology, economics, ecology, climate, many health & biology related fields, etc. These fields have struggled to succeed within the Popperian/Newtonian framework. We haven't found an F=ma or E=mc^2 that is fundamental, predictive and generally useful. This has resolved to a lot of frustrating modeling and unfalsifiable theories. P-hacking, replication crisis & such.

Marginalist economics is a great example. If you squint, it kinda conforms to Popperian models. In practice though, it's not workable. In practice, it's riddled with post fact storytelling, subjectivity and opinion.

The "high science" mode of enquiry is amazing. It has arguably advanced us more as a species than any other idea. It is, however, not the only mode of enquiry. We walk around the world forming tentative theories for how the world works. They're generally not simple, expressible or general. They are, however, predictive. Jane knows how Joe will react to X. She doesn't know it with certainty or accuracy, but she's got pretty high chances of being right. Call that a theory, a model... whatever. It's a real way of having knowledge. Farmers' understanding of the farm.

There's no guarantee that the phenomenon we're interested in will be expressible in an F=ma manner. Complexity exists.
Cool, I must be writing from Uranus then.
Other PITA: the PCR test before boarding the flight to Japan. Which has to be within 48 or 72 hours of departure and a specific form filled by a doctor about what type of test, the result, etc.
I think the point is that they may well be used like that. Maybe not explicitly, but I bet you that any language has a user that uses string formatting to build, say, an SQL query that is then passed as a string to the SQL engine.
Well said!

Companies destroyed employee loyalty - by letting people go while paying bonuses to executives, by giving 3% raises while offering way higher salaries to new hires, by saying "we are a family here" only when they need employees to make sacrifices.

From the perspective of an engineering manager, attrition sucks. Whenever a season engineer leaves my team, I dread the next couple of weeks, because there's a chance others will follow. The hiring and onboarding is draining and often slows down the whole team for months. But whenever someone tells me they're leaving, I tell them I understand it. They need to think about their own career.

Employers destroyed the loyalty and they need to fix it.
Anybody know whether computational photography is making inroads? I'm not sure how feasible it is currently for very high resolutions on a mere movie budget, but it seems like it could be a huge boon for editing freedom and probably useful for a lot of effects work.

Except when the reservoirs run dry, which many will do at times unless you spend only a rather small proportion of the available capacity.

Norway is a huge energy exporter, but regularly imports because of reduced hydro generating capacity.

Expanding storage capacity is generally a problem because of the massive environmental impact.

>Berkshire omitted those investments from a quarterly summary of its stock holdings filed earlier this month because the SEC allowed the company to keep them confidential, so it's not clear how much Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern stock Berkshire currently owns.

Makes me think of tainted strings, a feature of Perl and Ruby (although I haven't often seen them used in Ruby).
It depends on the form of content moderation. There is a risk in automated moderating being too stifling. There is also a risk of moderation pushing people on the fence into a victim role. Similarly, content moderation past the excesses becomes close to editatorialzing. That is a difficult and very subjective job not generally suited for tech companies.
> To make workers replaceable is to rely mostly on the knowledge you can reasonably expect to regain on rehire.

Fortunately, we developed systems of writing, so that the limit to this relearning is higher now than a few millennia ago. (Society does the ultimate “rehiring” continually.)

I think that far too many companies (including my own) rely much too heavily on “things that are in people’s heads” and don’t spend enough time and money on making the company knowledge effectively outlast any individual employee, making it easier to put the essential knowledge into new people’s heads.

Society doesn’t rediscover pi, e, I, and calculus from first principles every half-century, but rather we’ve instituted that knowledge into books and mechanisms of teaching.
I stumbled on this kayak "where can I travel?" map a few months back and it's been handy as a starting point: https://www.kayak.com/travel-restrictions

I personally always double-check another source before booking anything to be safe (e.g. government site), but it's nice to have it all in one place.
30-40 USD sounds incredibly cheap. I would expect a trip from one end of Kyoto to another to cost that much or close already.
I work at a company which main product is a co2 emissions management software. It is in dire need of software developers. It is hosted in Brazil, so probably not competitive in terms of salary, but that goes to say that you can find good jobs that won't hurt you morally. The alternative to making DRM is not necessarily working for Amazon or Google.
But the point is the exact opposite because any use of unsafe is clearly marked as such, and therefore a code audit will instantly find its use and question it. Hence the fallout surrounding it.
In the same way that watching a TV series or a movie is mindless distraction [0], or going for a hike or a road trip is just an "escape" from normality. Reducing experiences to their fundamental value [1] devoids them of any joy they might have.

Yes. Section 1201 says “No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title.”

The reason you can’t find a commercial vendor that will directly ship something to bypass the DRM is because it also says “No person shall manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof, that is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title”

This is also why for a while the t-shirts with the dvd decss key were popular among nerds, because they are illegal.

In the time it took you to write that comment, someone could have downloaded the app and started using it.

Apparently setting up your own cloud service at home is really simple, super smooth experience, you just enter a command and there it is, interface, backups, security, just magic.
The limitations are there, so that hospitals don't get flooded with people. Without the limitations the healthcare system would collapse. If that were to happen, doctors would have to decide whether to help you because you had an accident or to treat somebody else with covid or somebody else with some other emergency.
> Oh please, get off your preachy high horse, and stop trying to guild trip devs into thinking that developing DRM solutions is like developing WMD or something.

The OP didn't make any such comparison; yet you make such a comparison, a few sentences later:

> Sure, no consumer enjoys DRM, like how no driver likes police officers issuing speeding fines

DRM props-up uncompetitive business models, to the detriment of customers and society at-large. It is in no way comparable to speed limits, which have literally saved millions of lives over the years (random Google link: https://www.who.int/news-room/commentaries/detail/reducing-s... ).
Side note I don’t know if I’ve just been lucky but I can’t relate to this talk of “companies are evil and act maliciously against their employees at every opportunity”. That hasn’t been true in my experience.

I think there’s a combination of some people with really bad experiences and a larger group of people that exaggerate.

That said, it’s a fact of the contemporary employment market that most companies do compensation such that sticking around in one place means making significantly less money then moving around all the time. Companies bring new people in at higher comp but don’t push the comp of existing people doing those jobs to the same level even if those existing employees are performing well. I don’t think this is evil or malicious but it certainly feels hostile.
I have a feeling companies in the US will have difficulty filling CISO roles without offering golden parachutes (which kick in if the CISO is let go after disclosing a breach) in future.

In cases of breaches there will often be commercial pressure in a company not to disclose (to avoid financial impact)

With personal criminal liability being a possibility for the CISO they are then placed in the position of disclose regardless of internal pressure (risking their job) or don't disclose (and risk criminal prosecution)
Because the phone network can't be hacked, perhaps? Also in my views, that something cannot be monetized is a feature, not a bug: trying to monetize WWW/email is precisely what led to the horrors we know today of mass advertisement and surveillance.
> I miss when games were for fun.

Recently I completed Outer Wilds (note not Outer Worlds), and also Incsription. Both amazing games I will always recommend playing to anyone.

Indie games are not corrupted as mass production AAA production run like a late stage capitalism corporations, who quite literally add cocaine to their game if they could. Companies run by people who never played games, dont like them, don't understand them have very low chance of creating something good.

There are good AAA games out there that are not exploitative, Marvels Guardians of Galaxy - everyone thought it will be awful ended up being great, God of War games, Ghost of Tsushima.

That said there are a LOT of exploitative games that child or teen should not play if they have any tendencies that can be exploited.

The original matrix films did this much better imo. They had the Wuxia floatiness but it felt more… constrained with a modern vibe?
I'm thinking the same thing. Not stealing to save your own life is just plain stupid.

Stealing because you're dirt poor and want more, while ethically and morally wrong, is understandable.

Stealing even though you could easily afford to buy, that's either a mental illness or a character/education/culture flaw.
I usually follow BBC News and RT News, and then do some averaging.
I think that good analytical skills are prerequisite. You must know how each component/module will interact /interfere with other components. I don't know if there are any labs that might help you. Which existing application do you consider to be large scale application?
I see a lot of engineers here saying this is redundant and wonder if you might not be targeting the right audience. Parents with kids, students, people trying to form better habits, people with depression all seem like they could use this kind of tool.
I'm wondering who is the "we" in the "we need more coders" part of your comment referring to. I can think of a few examples where some people might want more coders, but other might not:

1) Right now coders are in high demand. This means that they cost a lot. Recruiters might want more coders to be able to recruit people easier, companies might want more coders to reduce their price, and have more people working. On the other hand, coders themselves might not want more coders because it may reduce their earnings, and make it harder for them to get jobs.

2) Some people think that more software is good, and therefore we need more people producing it. On the other hand, some people think that "we should be more like engineers" and should gatekeep more, to increase the quality of the software. I'm not supporting either of those idea, just citing examples that I've seen, especially here on HN

3) A country might want more coders in general to increase its economy, especially if it's one where other countries can outsource work to. But on the other hand, it might also not want other countries that have a lower cost of living/salaries to have more coders, so they can keep work for themselves.

All of that to say that I'm not sure the sentiment of "we need more coders" is agreed upon by everyone, which is why I'm asking who you were referring to.
I'm pretty sure most people would prefer a standard of living where they don't need to steal.
The roulette wheel is being spun with every injection. I think this aspect is underrepresented too. Having three jabs means having a 1/n chance three times, with varying n each time. We are not only talking about vaccine mandates, but also booster mandates. The basis for these is even thinner, because especially since Omicron, the benefit/risk ratio is even worse. The risk has not changed, while the benefits just visibly decreased.

"The risk is about the same" is not even a good ratio to begin with, and it also does not match with what has been communicated to the public over and over - that the risks would be astronomically small, compared to the benefits. With the ratio that is currently known, the vaccines would have had a harder time to get approved. I don't think that mass vaccination mandates can be upheld as soon as the public becomes aware of the actual ratios.
It's all very well organized. The initial thieves operate in gangs that pull as much off the train as possible and throw it to the ground.

The collectors below look for (ie. boxes that have a lithium/ion battery warning on them), and they break open those boxes and remove those goods.

Those high value goods are then sold to a fencer who will list them online as new from a 3rd party seller.

The remaining lower value goods are then picked over by other community members.
Even if the precondition function doesn’t do anything, you still have to call it
Yes and Paypal and Flattr and so many others tried the same thing before, it's nothing new and nothing interesting. If you've read the mostly negative comments on your thread, i don't need to explain again why that's a terrible idea :-)
I agree with you that they are not a scientific awareness channel, which in my opinion is exactly why this sort of thing should be censored because it is intentionally misleading.

MPL is based on MLton, so they also do whole-program optimisation (the same one, in fact).
ESP32 is way too powerful compared to a Minitel. They had zero processing power and simply drew to the screen whatever was typed/received.
Probably, yeah. I don't think that makes much difference in the end.

While I don't know much about Australia, I'm pretty sure a tennis tournament is not their biggest priority right now.
Yes, we are going to have that. We should just not be stupid enough to ever attempt to build democracy or any such nonsense. Go in, lay waste, get out, just like we should have done in Afghanistan.

> A lot of the trouble is the "You go first." mentality. Who will be the one to stay at a company for many years, getting only 3% raises; ...

If the author's premise is correct, there should be a lot of money to be made in retaining talent. Some of that should filter down to more than 3% raises.

So if you believe in humans as rational economic actors, there is "$20 bills lying on the street" if you build a tech company that hires, increases comp, and retains, rather than the current model of hire, churn, poach.

I realize that double-digit raises at the same company is a big culture shift, but I've seen it done. If everyone benefits, why wouldn't it happen?
There are cases where I use print debugging in Firefox because it's ironically often faster to rebuild and rerun than for gdb to load the debug info. Also for rust, it can be much more convenient to use the dbg! macro for pretty printing rather than dig in the mess of values in the debugger.

SGX seems to have pivoted from DRM use cases (in consumer CPUs) to confidential computing (in server CPUs) [0]. Is that so? Or is the Intel server product line just lagging behind and it will be removed from those too? Will Intel replace it fully with something like AMD SEV?

As a technology, SGX became interesting the moment Intel added the ability for anybody to launch enclaves (and not only the anointed companies that signed NDAs with Intel) and especially when support for it landed in Linux.

Assuming Intel somehow manages to fix its security problem to a decent level, is SGX as a technology worth learning still?

But think about that, in your average day, how many opportunities did you have to steal or otherwise break the law. I'm guessing, A LOT, and how many did you take advantage of? (I speculate, none, because your standard of living is such that it's not an attractive option to you).
He said "users," not clients or customers. You can say that users aren't DRM a coders' concern, but you can't say they aren't their users.
Why would the level of reaction from tissue exposed to a higher than intended dose of a novel protein be the same as its reaction to a higher dose of a protein it has been primed to react to?
I think the issue is the amount of personal data users give to FB. It's one thing to accept a user agreement on a set of data (name, age, etc) but a different one to put your personal life under their microscope and let them monetize it via ads
To give an idea of the order of magnitude of inefficiency :

* Currently a grid => hydrogen => grid round trip is 40-45% efficient.

* A grid => battery => grid round trip is 90-95% efficient.

You can recover 2x more energy by NOT using hydrogen. There is no competition. Unless the lost energy from green hydrogen production can be recovered somehow (co-generation)...
Why is your individual preference relevant by the way? You are just one of 100s of millions of people who use digital devices.

For that third guess, you could just use QUIRE. Still reduces the possibilities to one, but has a chance of getting the right answer one step sooner. In general, favouring something within the possibilities, where it doesn't pessimise, might reduce your search tree a bit.
In most cases it doesn’t need to be tested: the party making the sale isn’t responsible for what some random cryptocurrency salesperson on social media claims.

If the actual seller made misleading claims and the fine print didn’t clarify, it might be actionable. Typically what we see, however, is that the terms do note that you’re buying the link rather than its target.
Maybe my Kindle will finally get a workout. Thank you!
If you're familiar with french language, some people argued that most of the "Internet" we use today is in fact technically, politically and economically closer to the Minitel. I'm of course refering to Benjaming Bayart's "Internet Libre ou Minitel 2.0" conference from 2008 which gave birth to the non-profit ISP federation (FFDN).
> To me it feels like e.g. someone accidentally or intentionally deleted all Feynman lectures from planet earth as if they never existed.
