Some malware will store the executable and all configuration encrypted on the disk and will only decrypt in memory with a key downloaded from the internet.

Ofcourse you can still defeat this if you dump the memory or reverse engineer the process to get the key yourself. Makes it a bit harder but still not impossible.

Yeah, I was picturing them as openly being casinos. You'd think at least Las Vegas would have some, a sort of international slots section. Hijacking culture is already their specialty after all.
There's only so many groups that can leverage and profit from costly blackboxes that predict people's behavior. Additionally, i view ML as a hyperscaler version of science: you're trading money (training hw) for expert time. Most of the time FLOSS and other non-capitalistic entities will have few of the former and (reasonably) much of the later.

edit: i'm probably being a bit hyperbolic about the usecases for ML. But the hyperscaler thing still holds: most of the interesting usecases i know of could be done more lowtech with more expert knowledge, with more parcimonious usage of stochastic optimization.
Amazon postpones plan to stop customers using Visa cards at last minute
I think a plausible explanation that fits all the bits and pieces is that Adams wrote this as a kind of riff of his own, inspired by the concept of 'Egoless Programming'. At some later point Atwood ran across some version of the 'commandments' list, thought they were quotes from the book and wrote his blog post. Thinking they were quotes, he probably didn't feel the need to cite where he found them. It's just a somewhat silly mistake, it happens - although it inadvertently spawned a mighty stream of Internet Wrongness.

He should have probably updated and corrected the blog post when someone pointed out his mistake to him in 2016. He probably still should.

> I gave an emotional response.

Neither your topic nor this place suit emotional debates.

> I'm upset that Hacker News is overwhelming negative ...

Perhaps you should set your emotional upset aside and consider why, instead of blindly rejecting all of HN because of how HN's rejection makes you feel.

> ... focusing on current technology shortcomings

There is a lot of that here, yes, but that has not been the sole "focus" of HN commenters on this topic. I find it easy to ignore and dismiss comments that focus solely on this , and still participate in discussions involving other aspects. Perhaps you should too.

> You say the topic has been debated. I say it hasn't.

I have participated in the debates, rationally (i.e., without emotions). I say you haven't.

> It's been roundly rejected. That's not debate.

I disagree that it's been roundly rejected, but even assuming so (for the sake of this point): a debate does not require "both sides" to win some votes. Unanimous rejection after consideration is a valid result of debates.

> ... When asked why he said "with all this shit, there's got to be a pony around here!"

Nice story. But there's only so far you can stretch a simple analogy. Trust me, in the history of technology, there's often just "shit", no pony. And as more people keep entering this world, more shit keep getting produced and thrown around. In fact, it is ridiculous how easy it is to produce large quantities of it.

> ... with all this shit, there's got to be a pony around here!

Could it be a donkey instead?

I'm not sure I'd call PLATO a GUI. You could implement GUIs with PLATO terminals, but I don't think anything like that was ever done. The same goes for the Tektronix DVST terminals - one could have written a simple GUI for them, but I don't think that was ever done. I'm not quite sure what can be called a GUI - does it need to be something that's not tied to a specific application? Would AutoCAD be a GUI? Does a GUI require the concept of windows? Does an iPhone have a GUI?

I mean... the alternative is to just drill/break the lock, or break down the door. The only added benefit to lockpicking is, that it's harder for the owner to notice that the lock was picked/door opened, but if your plan is to steal an xbox, there are much easier and more efficient (...and destructive) way to do it.

It exists, it's called Lego Worlds [1] but honestly, it's pretty complex to play with and with a lot of caveats (water management is terrible).

Yes, and if a defer keyword were to be introduced in C, all these reasonable ways could still be used by anyone who wants to, while we could let the compiler handle it when we don't want to, making the source easier to read and reason about.

There is no point making a lock more secure. No one actually picks locks other than for fun. They just cut them or hit them with a hammer. That custom design lock shows a lot about why we don’t have ultra secure locks as it takes an insane design with huge numbers of moving parts which aren’t so reliable and extremely expensive to produce.

So why is now a consensual sexual affair with a subordinate "inappropriate". If the other party was married, he would have a good argument to hide it from the faculty. A rather common case on universities.

A job hunt typically takes weeks or months of calendar time, and dozens of hours of clock time. So if a candidate has good management of his time and effort, he can budget one of those hours to improve the attention to detail of his CV.
Yes. There’s software, like dhcp clients, that has claimed the right to automatically edit this without leaving a trace. It’s really hard to turn off, it’s easier to just ban this behavior categorically, if your use case is not the one in which this behavior is useful.

> much more fluid than e.g. rdp, vnc or whatever

RDP also sends draw calls, and as such cannot be compared to VNC or similar. It's not even a remotely close comparison in terms of fluidity. I haven't compared it to Qt over X11, but I wouldn't be surprised if RDP wins over an internet link.

The lack of a proper RDP alternative is the primary reason I don't use Linux as my main driver. I keep checking every 12 months or so, but alas.

While this article makes no difference between delta and omicron. It does make a interesting point about "death rate" after surviving COVID within 6 months.

That's fair point. But normal French people aren't interacting with HTTP directly in any meaningful way. (More snarkily: they're using browsers built by Americans to connect to webservers built by Americans.) But I imagine that 99% of people who use json-resume today are interacting directly with it.

So I suppose that parallel suggests it depends on whether there's a realistic expectation of WYSIWYG editors for any kind of universal resume format. Which I think seems incredibly unlikely.

The number one scenario - inflation starts, Feds raises rates, debt service costs raise => debt grows even more and at some point people realize that it cannot be paid back without too much inflation.

Reinforcement in raised rates => depression and stock market crash => investors stop using US equities and real estate as value store.

And Feds needs to raise rates - because of negative effective funds rate (https://www.lynalden.com/wp-content/uploads/newsletter-2022-...) - this is also something that people might not perceive for a long time - but then suddenly see it.

Those people where a CV and certificates matter, they already construct a CV in the closed system of LinkedIn or Monster's websites. Nobody needs to use LaTeX, there will be websites where anyone can do it, if anything that's an additional business opportunity.

No, I suspect the actual reason is: Nobody will do it unless the big players (LinkedIn etc.) will adopt it. And the big players don't do it because interoperability, and a CV that can be migrated anywhere, isn't in their interests.
> 2) adding new functionality requires addition of new keywords

There are reserved keywords and unreserved keywords. The latter can be used as table/column/function/etc names, and don’t cause any trouble.

New syntax can be invented by reusing existing reserved keywords, and introducing new unreserved keywords in places where they can’t be misinterpreted.

Not saying the problem you describe isn’t a problem, just that it’s slightly more complicated and not as bad as one might think when reading your comment.
Assuming Planck's law still holds it should start absorbing radiation instead.

That said Planck's law derives from Gibb's distribution and applying that rule to it suggests it immediately radiates all energy, until it stops having a negative temperature so I'm not sure if negative temperature is compatible with thermal radiation.
Chances are we'll never know the terms of the deal.
My evidence is purely anecdotal, for example both Chocolatey and Scoop package managers use PowerShell internally. Also modern Windows versions replaced "open command line" in the Start right click menu with "open PowerShell".

There are many things PowerShell can do and batch files can't, starting with piping output between commands.

This might be one of the good things to come out of the pandemic if it stays as it would improve the kids’ attention and mental performance.

The article mentions that in passing: “As well as being a good ‘proxy’ for ventilation, lower CO2 levels have been linked to improved learning outcomes and better cogitative performance.”

I’d rather have fixed sensors so that they would stay, but these are portable and I imagine most will be left in a drawer after the pandemic goes away: «The portability of the CO2 monitors, supplied by the Department for Education (DfE), means schools can move them around to test different areas, starting with those they suspect may be poorly ventilated.»

At least the air cleaners might stay («distributing between 7,000 and 8,000 air cleaning units.») and I hope the CO₂ monitors will keep being used once people see the difference.
I always use the Europass format. For an IT sysadmin job, it's not like I'm trying to prove that I know how to use a basic word processor. Or demonstrate the type of artistic design skills that go into coming up with my own format. I like the fact that by using something standard, I'm less likely to be judged on stuff like choice of font etc. It tends to cover key details in a fairly terse format well which at least leaves scope for more wordy explanations in a cover letter. I find I don't end up needing to tweak the CV much when adapting it for different job applications while any cover letter does tend to then be fully one-off.

That said, my record in actually ever landing a new job is fairly woeful but that may be more down to being poor in interviews.
> I thought phones had moved to an "ownership" model where access to files goes through the applications.

There are many file explorers for Android, and they all have a normal browsing interface. The only "ownership" thing I’ve encountered is with the Nextcloud client, where it makes sense as those directories and files are not necessarily on the phone.

I’m only on Android 10, but I think I would have heard if Android 12 completely changed things.
Deep diving into the thread pool: a debugging story
You do not necessarily pay a higher rate, but you become directly liable for all fraud, rather than the credit card company or bank. So effectively you will be paying a lot more.

I suspect Amazon have run the numbers and determined that people are more likely to buy stuff when they don't need to enter the CVC, which when combined with their own anti-fraud engines (which are probably as good if not better than Visa's) result in a lower cost overall.
8K seems plenty when you can do your "work" from anywhere in the world (and probably have a good reason to not be too easy to find by your scam victims)

Sure, though that's missing the point.

I want "call this function later", not "allocate (and later deallocate and do stuff with) this object." Using objects with destructors is just a roundabout way to achieve the former and fails to express the intent directly. Even though it might have zero runtime cost, it's not free of conceptual baggage.
Good grief, they are SO going to get sued if they try to do any of their proposed uses!

(They no more own the rights to "Dune" than you would if you bought a DVD in a second hand shop and decided to start selling copies of it.)

Zig documentation isn't crap; the documentation *does not exist* yet. There's an important difference between the two which seems to be ignored.

Zig is young. They're spending their time maturing the core ecosystem --- the compiler, the standard library, and so forth. It's perfectly reasonable to expect early adopters to "RTFS/read the fucking source". *When* they start writing documentation, I'd be perfectly happy to hear comments like "The zig documentation is crap".

At this stage of the project, I'll be honest, I find it upsetting to read comments like this.

I created something similar when I had to work in an extremely resource-constrained project (we could only work by ssh'ing to a server with no graphical utilities, and no internet access other than ssh). It has worked like a charm, and I would find it difficult to go back to anything else for ticket management now. I use this for 'in-project tickets/milestones' and leave stuff like github issues for 'external' issues by users.

Here it is on github for anyone who's interested: https://github.com/tpapastylianou/bashtickets

My tool is slightly less minimal than the one in the article, but essentially the same philosophy. Everything is a local file following a simple but fixed template, so that they can be grepped / manipulated if necessary. It plays very well with versioning, and supports milestones and 'advanced queries' as pre-made scripts. Obviously, since the tickets/milestones are simple text, it should be fairly straightforward to write your own queries if you know a bit of bash (or any other language you prefer, obviously).

In fact, this little system has worked so well, that I have recently been trying to convert it to a nice, portable, "command-based" tool, i.e. the way git works; bashtickets init (or just bt init) initialises a ticket repository, bt new ticket creates a new ticket, bt list lists open/closed tickets, or active/completed milestones etc. There's nothing wrong with the original, of course, except for the fact that it's a bit ugly to have a bag of scripts in each ticket repository you want to manage. A command-based interface simply makes it look a bit more 'modern', and clean, putting any pre-made scripts and 'template' files out of sight for peace of mind. This is still very much under development, but please see the "commandbased" branch if interested [1]. I'd be very open to feedback :)
