Most people, both in the real world and on HN, cannot differentiate education from certification. That must be super disappointing to come to grips that you overpaid for a 4 year certificate when the self taught guy sitting next to you spent that time building out their career earning money.

A bachelors degree is not a license to practice or guarantee of employment. That is not the point of education.

> We view disentanglement as generalizing the notion of “time” as it relates to memory for parallel programs: in both sequential and disentangled parallel programs, an instruction can only access objects that are allocated before it.

> Disentanglement opens a new perspective on parallel memory management: rather than viewing memory as a global shared resource, we can instead organize memory as a distributed structure that mirrors (i.e., corresponds with) the structure of parallelism in the program.

Parallel, concurrent, and distributed systems are moving closer and closer to a relativistic model of the world. If we consider memory as roughly equivalent to space (N bits of memory take O(sqrt(N)) physical space http://www.ilikebigbits.com/2014_04_21_myth_of_ram_1.html ) then this approach is essentially scheduling the work across spacetime (rather than just time); or, from a different perspective, the interactions defined within the program can be interpreted as a spatial layout of the problem/solution, which this compiler is utilising when deciding how to arrange the allocations.

Ah, I see, it's the "where" that is natural in mathematics.
If it wasn't for the 6-guess limit and you had a vocabulary, then you could use minimax to try and minimize the maximum number of guesses.

E.g. assuming you make the best possible future guesses but your opponent has chosen the least convenient word and propitiating up these minimum and maximums.

I am trying to think if this can be tweaked?

Pretty sure you'd draw that line somewhere. Perhaps it wouldn't be a train, but I can assure you with absolute certainty that there would be a point where you would value your lawfully possessed property over an attacker's life.

Anyway, we kind of went off track (no pun intended), but my initial point was that since you can rob these trains with basically no reprecussions, would it still be true if there was a chance that you might get shot in the process? I'd think not.

The reasoning provided by someone to me was that at a org level, it's more cost effective for the org to replace those 1-2 departures with the market rate salary, than raise the salary of the whole team to the market rate.

Many people stay back in a company even knowing they could probably get more if they try else where (ex: work like balance, friends, job security in the long term, exciting work etc). When a org has sufficient no of such ppl, it doesn't matter to them when they lose some 1-2 start performers. Also, there's no guarantee those star performers would stay back even if they are paid higher salaries !!
Like many, I spent some time thinking about this, and realized if I could analyze the words used so far, I could find some patterns. For example, the creator might not ever use plurals meaning RATES might not be such a helpful starting word with the S.

On the plus side, I now don't spend time on the game.. but this is perhaps a warning to not go down the rabbit hole yourself if you want to keep playing ;-)

Disney CEO: "We want a DRM system that will make piracy impossible. Can you do it?"

Developer: "That's impossible, it can't be done."

Disney CEO: "My son is constantly asking for $70 games for his playstation/xbox, so I'm not convinced DRM is impossible. Could you do it if we paid you $300,000 per year? Or do you have nothing to offer the company?"

Developer: "Well, when you put it like that, I'm happy to try. We can certainly make something that doesn't have the holes previous systems had, and that will slow down piracy, initially."

Disney CEO: "Ah, so it might be possible after all...."

This mindset is present in so many aspects of human society. For instance, drug addiction. Up until recently, people would typically ask "how do we stop people getting access to drugs" instead of "why do people do this".

> vaccines don't stop the spread but it will reduce it (definitely with Delta, maybe less so with Omicron).

Not with omicron, atleast not really.

> And even with omicron, a vaccine will prevent serious illness.

So, it's like smoking, the vaccinated get lesser chance of serious illness, and the unvaccinated have themselves to blame.

> Yes, I definitely think you could make a case for that. If people could reduce their craving for McDonalds by receiving a yearly injection and they refuse then yeah, you'd be in the same situation. But things are more complicated, being related to addiction, socio economic status etc ...

I mean.. they could reduse mcdonalds by just not eating at mcdonalds.

> Again, nobody is forced to be vaccinated and it's not just their problem if they don't. You may be refused entry to bars & restaurants but that's not a basic human right, afaik.

But curfews (restriction of movement) is a basic human right, that was taken away from us. And again, if vaccines only help the vaccinated, why not let the unvaccinated ones into bars (or mcdonalds)?

I am curious about the current state of playback of Dolby vision files. I know that the Nvidia shield tv can playback videos and there is the movies and tv windows app that can tone map to SDR if you download the Dolby experience app. But has there been meaningful progress for vlc mpv potplayer or direct playback from pc to tv? It seems like Dolby Vision has won over HDR10+ in the HDR video format war.

Personal User Manual: How you work
When Blu-ray came out, it came with all sorts of DRM madness (AACS, BD+, etc.) which persists to this day. However playback on PCs still ultimately involved some kind of proprietary player software which contains keys to decrypt the content. Obviously, these keys could be extracted from the player software to decrypt DVDs. In other words, it's the flaw with all DRM schemes.

For UHD/4K Blu-rays, the DRM scheme was renewed (AACSv2). As far as I can tell, studios seemed to decide that the above model was too insecure and to require something more for PC playback of UHD Blu-rays. The requirement seems to basically be that some kind of platform-integrated hardware DRM is involved so that the CPU never sees the decrypted video (or equivalent; presumably SGX is used to lock the decrypted content inside an enclave which is remotely attested and then securely transported to the GPU somehow. GPUs also have had this kind of hardware DRM functionality added to support this use case but I don't have the details to hand as they're not to my knowledge public.)

Ask you what your evidence is for that assertion given that crime rates vary so widely around the world for disparate reasons.

The prevalence and types of crimes committed really do vary widely as well (though its often hard to get a clear picture since different countries have different reporting mechanisms (or none at all)).

Roguelites unlike Roguelikes (the lite and like parts are self-explanatory), have some progression outside the permadeath runs. The Binding of Isaac, Dead Cells, Hades... are all roguelites, due to having this permanent progression (unlocking new items, skills, increased statistics...) that carry on to new runs. Roguelikes don't have a progression outside of individual runs, so each run is a fresh start.

People who are unfamiliar with the terms just end up using them interchangeably.

It's the typical arrogance of the practionier to rule out computer science research as irrelevant just because the application doesn't come in a nicely advertised package yet.

Of course, the scientific community can get lost on wrong paths or mix up fashion with established knowledge. I don't know enough about this particular topic to form an opinion here. But in general, when there has been a scientific consensus regarding programming languages it turned out to be relevant for the field.

With your calendar, wouldn't the drift eventually be so bad that the month we currently call January might be your calendar's October?

Anyhow, this military comparison just keeps sprouting thoughts in my head. Isn't an owner-management almost perfectly comparable to aristocratic officership? Is GGP's theory of defensible churn basically a modern incarnation of feudalism and aristocratic privelege?
At least all this investment in DRM was worth it and it stopped movies and tv shows and games and music and books being available on pirate websites

> Some drives need to have their firmware flashed in order to enable ripping of UHD discs

I love their summary of what the patched firmware does:

'A LibreDrive is a mode of operation of an optical disc drive (DVD, Blu-ray or UHD) when the data on the disc are accessed directly, without any restrictions or transformations enforced by drive firmware. A LibreDrive would never refuse to read the data from the disc or declare itself “revoked”.

(...) Change the optical drive embedded software in a way that the drive becomes a “primitive” device - one that just positions a laser, reads and decodes the data. Make a drive free from “policing” functionality, a drive that just passes all data from the disc to the user.'

Those who did this are not victims. They're culprits. That must be very clear.

Remember the imagery from recent (any) riots? E.g. the mob plundering a Walmart? Those people are not starving. They are just greedy, uncontrolled and aggressive. They did not steal food. Just expensive electronic entertainment devices.

Human behaviour is very predictable. There will always be a large number of people taking whatever they can get. That's how it is. The failed communism is the proof.

The only thing preventing those people from doing their crime onto society are sanctions.

Honestly it is like the movie studios want you to pirate their content by making it so difficult to watch what you legally own.

I'm saying there's already a very obvious, decades-old established solution to the problem the parent commenter is raising.

It probably didn't take a lot of reverse engineering: the solution list is stored in plaintext in the site's javascript!
More accessible option is to pay former developers for consulting.

> And then make sure it's backed up because you don't want to lose it.

You mean like it's possible to do with cron + rsync? Or maybe something like BackupPC, or Bvckup, depending on whether you also feel like you should automate backups of your own devices, not just a particular file?

> Oh, and put it on a server somewhere if you want to share it with people without needing to email it to them.

Come to think of it, why not have this folder (that's also backed up) be a part of your own Nextcloud install?

> Maybe transform it into HTML+CSS if you want it to look better than the browser default text, and change it a bit for people on mobiles.

Nextcloud handles both the remote storage aspect (e.g. a copy in another location), sync with your devices when you want it both on desktop and mobile, as well as allow sharing stuff through its web UI, if you expose it (or a separate instance of Nextcloud) to the outside world.

> You could also make a form and a service so you can update it when you're not using the one computer the original file is on too.

Curiously enough, they also allow editing many file formats in the browser, should the need arise, so it's not like you need to create that functionality for your specific file/data type when it already exists for text files in generalized form as a part of their software.

> Oh dear, you accidently built your own app.

No i haven't, because while it would be a nice educational pursuit and perhaps just something fun to do over a weekend, i use tools that are better suited for the general use case (preserving and sharing files, optionally with a web interface) and that are actually maintained by others for this.

You don't always have to reinvent the wheel for everything, depending on existing software that's probably both stable and popular (and hence well supported) is entirely valid for this. Text files are perfectly well as the actual storage medium.

Of course, if the OP wants to make an app for this, let them! Nothing wrong with that either, different things will work for different folks. For example, i almost always use LibreOffice for working with documents locally, but others do it almost only online with Google Docs or whatever Microsoft offers nowadays.

That said, i still think that there is perhaps some merit to the critique over micro apps popping up but many of them probably not being viable long term and just being bound to disappear eventually.
Although these are in general great advice, it means nothing to someone without handson experience, way too generic and abstract.
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. I'd wager that the number of people in the world who bypass Bluray DRM for non-personal use is in the hunderds, maybe thousands.
I had the same thought. There was surprisingly little discussion of how this new language relates to Python - the only mention on the whole page is that need Python installed to use it. At pyflang.com it says that "PyFL = Python based Functional Language".

I'd be curious to know: Does PyFL benefit from Python's libraries, in the way that Scala and Clojure can use Java libraries? Are there any syntactic similarities? Or does it just happen to be built on Python as an implementation detail?
