I see where you're going with this, but bail is not supposed to be a deterrent against future crime — it's a refundable payment to ensure defendants will show up for trial. You could try to deter criminals with fines, but this would have little effect on people who do not have significant assets. That's (one of the reasons) why we have prisons.
This is a good question. Metal oxides tend to decompose at high temperatures, when exposed to reducing agents, under vacuum, or with electricity. I can’t immediately find good sources about which of these apply to gallium and would be most energetically favorable.

But regardless it is certainly possible to regenerate it using only electricity possibly with intermediate but renewable substances (water, sodium chloride, etc)

Given a unique url to a server binary, clock started when I hit it the first time, assignment was to deliver a simple PoC exploit in 2 hours.

IIRC (this was about 13 years ago so a little fuzzy) it was a simple SMTP server and the vulnerability was a stack overflow that could be triggered in the RCTP request so you needed to send some valid input first and get a few steps into the state machine.

For that kind of work, it doesn’t get much more real or more fun.
At the time time there was no commercial Nginx, only open source. Also, Apache was a huge pain to configure for anything other than configuring static files. Nginx config was a delight to deal with by comparison.

Exactly, they pass loopholes and exclusions for the wealthy who own 90% of the wealth in the top 5% or so of the population and throw scraps to fight over to us peasants and then tax those scraps hoping to imprison us and show us how insignificant we are.
> As someone who grew up poor this type of racist/classist argument is insulting. The poor have morales, values and pride too.

I grew up very poor, as well, around plenty people who sold weed when it was illegal to pay rent because the other option was living on the street. The truth is that if someone is hungry, they aren't going to just curl up, starve and die. Even more so if their kids are hungry. I don't think that makes them bad people at all, and some their choices may even be the most moral actions to take.

I'm not making a moral argument or judgment at all with that statement, I'm just stating the simple fact that theft will happen if people are deprived of the property they need to live. It seems that society has chosen to hire people to beat and imprison others as the solution to theft, instead of choosing to alleviate the deprivation of resources that causes most of it. Truthfully, I think the former option is what's racist and classist.
This seems equivalent to saying “technology doesn’t change anything,” which obviously has numerous counterexamples over the last 50k years.
Honestly not a bad idea. If I can find something I'm passionate enough about I think I'll do this. I'd be making something in my free time anyway - might as well make it something that could potentially make my time on the clock better. Thank you!

There are countless HCI studies showing the problem that you mentioned - any interface that requires full and immediate context 1/10000 times while being hands off otherwise will fail in real world use.

This issue is so pronounced in mission critical systems that the problem is intentionally inverted, where the machine intervenes in the 1/10k scenarios and humans are in control the rest of the time - think flight control laws in aero or auto scram in nuclear engineering etc.
Don Mattrick might as well have been a plant by Sony he was so effective at destroying all the good will Microsoft had built with gamers during the 360 era.

OK. Though you could leave your volume definition parameterized, instead of picking a specific scale, couldn't you?

I do agree that volume and probability distribution are essentially the same.

(That's also why at my university measure theory and probability theory were handled in the same course.)
Buy cheap NAS boxes for each family. Backup pictures to your NAS, then use remote sync to copy pictures to the other NAS. Now everyone has the pictures locally and it’s backed up remotely. Sync the pics you like to Google for convenient access. QNAP TS-130 is $140. 4TB is about $100.

The Big Island of Hawaii constantly has lava and sea water mixing on small scales. Makes me wonder if it’s at risk of a subterranean breach as well.

It seems like this Tonga explosion took nearly everyone by surprise.

If you try using a vintage typewriter you will reconsider. It was a ton more work than now.

(1) Typewriter keyboards were actually physically strenuous... find an old manual typewriter and type a couple pages on it and see how whether you feel like typing a dozen more. This was rectified beginning in the 60s I think, but manual models were still around for a while due to cost.

(2) Even once electric typewriters were invented, dealing with minor typos, let alone more major textual surgery, remained a huge hassle until the personal computer / full word processor came about allowing on screen editing... Just imagine typing most of a page only to realize you forgot a sentence near the middle, or even made just a small typo. which is around when typists stopped being a thing, because then, and only then, typing had become so automated that a reasonably skilled bureaucrat wasn't really saving much time (and losing latency) by using the typing pool, especially for brief, urgent memoranda.

It is a case of automation working so well, you don't even notice it at all and thus think nothing was automated, until you think about it in more detail.
It's more efficient for many uses, but not all.

Eg bottles are more convenient when hiking. (Though there's no reason why you couldn't just put tap water in a bottle.)
How so? By claiming that Russia is going to invade? How does that push Russia into a conflict?

If Russia does invade, how exactly did the USA push them into it?

The "pushing" is that the US won't refuse to admit Ukraine into NATO. Nor should they. On this issue, Russia is like the abusive ex-husband who demands that their ex-wife never remarry. That's, like, not any of your business, dude.

The US may not want Nord Stream to happen. The US isn't the one that moved 100,000 troops to Ukraine's border, though.

It's a paper so it will take me a while to go through but that sounds more or less right from your description. The history tree notation and the whole information sets nonsense just make things very confusing to read and think about.
Scaling bail would make it so that if people are repeat offenders, eventually they won't have the assets to put up bail and will be detained in jail until their trial. Sometimes exceptionally violent offenders don't even get the chance to get bail, for safety. The is precedence for this, and the same approach can be applied to repeat offenders

If committing crimes has no repercussion then things like theft have become de-facto legal. If that happens eventually people are going to take things into their own hands, and that's even worse for society.
THIS. Please ask your coworkers for help. If the company isn't a toxic shithole your colleagues will be happy to help out. Modern screen sharing, code pairing and mobbing tools have made doing this in a remote working environment incredibly easy, almost more so than in meatspace.

As for the massive codebase, try to specialise in an area and own it. Take lots of tickets around that module / namespace / whatever and you'll end up in a niche with lots of ideas about how to modernise, optimise or otherwise improve that code base, as well as teach you a lot about the companies coding standards and practices when you're ready to move horizontally into other parts of the code base. You will become trusted as an expert in that area and valued by your colleagues.

Large code bases are a reality in programming. All of your smaller app and websites are built on top of the massive code bases of your favourite JS frameworks, web servers and web browsers, which are built in operating systems that also have massive code bases. All of those code bases, by the way, started out small as well, and grew to meet bigger and more demanding requirements.

You are kneecapping your potential if you decide to stop at the software development equivalent of barre chords.

Jules Verne, The Mysterious Island, 1875, [1]

"“This cavern stretches under the island as far as the volcano, and is only separated from its central shaft by the wall which terminates it. Now, this wall is seamed with fissures and clefts which already allow the sulphurous gases generated in the interior of the volcano to escape.”

“Well?” said Pencroft, his brow suddenly contracting.

“Well, then, I saw that these fissures widen under the internal pressure from within, that the wall of basalt is gradually giving way and that after a longer or shorter period it will afford a passage to the waters of the lake which fill the cavern.”

“Good!” replied Pencroft, with an attempt at pleasantry. “The sea will extinguish the volcano, and there will be an end of the matter!”

“Not so!” said Cyrus Harding, “should a day arrive when the sea, rushing through the wall of the cavern, penetrates by the central shaft into the interior of the island to the boiling lava, Lincoln Island will that day be blown into the air<...>"

Yes they weren't draining enough of our incomes already. This should make everyone very happy that we have yet one more avenue for the government to spy on us everyday in every way. This is double plus good.
Well in that case you can submit a pull request on my github repo. :D
Yeah but that only works in the very simplified model. In the real game you pretty much always choose bluffing hands based on card removal (the ones that makes your opponent holding a calling hand less likely).
Show HN: NFT Options Trading on Solana
GM to all,

We've been working on an opensource NPM package and tool https://nftoptions.app for creating options contracts on the Solana blockchain. The client is in nodejs https://www.npmjs.com/package/solana-options , with an onchain server written in Rust https://github.com/dbanda/solana-nft-options

This package allows you to easily create options contracts for tokens on Solana, with specific expiry times and strike values on the blockchain in one line of code. Similarly, you can use it to mint tokens and create contracts on those tokens. This allows you to do things like mint an NFT for a piece of art and then sell a call contract to buy that NFT at a predefined price. Each contract is tied to an NFT too, so you can easily trade them as well.

The onchain program is currently available on Solana devnet and testnet. We hope to launch on mainnet soon and possibly drop the NFTs on platforms such as Solsea for easy exchange. Currently, the web app https://nftoptions.app only supports the Phantom wallet but we are looking to add more soon.

We are looking for feedback, contributors and testers. Issues can be filed on the GitHub. As always, any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks y’all.
Thanks Dad (for your team’s lifetime of work, including NavStar).
Keep in mind that the industry has grown so much, that in absolute terms we might have more people who knew assembly than ever before, even if the relative proportion has gone down.

Btw, compiler writing has also improved a lot. Thanks to projects like LLVM, you don't need to know assembly to write a compiler for your new language.

Also: there's plenty of people with interest in obscure technologies and languages. Have a look at the demo scene where people still write new material for the Commodore 64. Or the trend of making new games for NES and the original Gameboy. There are plenty of people who work close to the bare metal, because it's fun.
Yeah, that’s why I said Office users — the core experience isn’t bad at all any more. It’s usually other apps which are pushing CPU limits notably. A big one recently has been video conferencing since a lot of schools didn’t used to need that at all, much less large classes entirely online.
It's a 2000 page spec that links to other specs (eg JPEG, PNG). It is a turing complete document format that can run arbitrary code without a sandbox. It is a mix of a binary and text format (some opcodes are in binary, some in text which just why?). All in all, it is a format designed to be incredibly hard to implement so people just give up and pay adobe.
> Did IL6 exist at the time?

It did, so I'm guessing it was just a mistake. I recall Pepper Mill/BJ's being referred to as either "R&D 7" or "IL 7".

Yep!
Further than strong root account would be to dissalow root login altogether. Rather, create a dedicated admin user with a strong password that's able to do privileged actions via sudo. This leaves an audit trail in case the admin account is compromised.
I used this to get the optimum fuel burn for the moon lander game on the hp67.

From memory it was a single 45 unit burn (about half the fuel) in the final moment.
And yet interestingly, nginx started in 2002, which was still old-school internet. So really, it was ahead of its time.
Even assuming you can do some kind of reaction in-place, CO2 is over 25% carbon by mass. 10 billion tons is still a massive challenge.

> Alphastar also didn't play with the same limitations that a human has. Even after removing its ability to see the entire map and finally forcing it to scroll around, alphastar never misclicks (so its APM==EPM) and can still blast nearly unlimited APM for short bursts as long as its "average APM" over an x-second period matched human's APM.
> I believe Alphastar would generate more interesting strategies if we limited alphastar to a bit below human APM...

No Alphastar definitely had misclicks, and it had a maximum cap on APM regardless of average that was far lower than the max burst of APM (or even EPM) of top players. When I have the time I can go dig up some games where Alphastar definitely has misclicks, and I believe the Deep Mind team has said before that it will misclick. Its APM limits are already lower than pros both on average and in bursts (and are reflected in its play, Alphastar will often mis-micro units in larger, more frantic battles such as allowing disruptor shots to destroy its own units, but it will never make the same mistake with much smaller numbers of units).

> Currently its main strategy is "perfectly juggle stalkers"

Definitely not. That was its strategy in its early iterations against MaNa and is no longer feasible with the stricter limitations in place. Its Protoss strategy is significantly more advanced than that now (see its impressive series of games against Serral with an amazing comeback here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jELuQ6XEtEc and a powerful defense against multi-pronged aggression here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6qmPNyKRGw) (and of course by "now" I mean when Deep Mind took it off the ladder). Both of these involve an eclectic mix of units with Alphastar effectively using each type of unit and varying it in response to what Serral puts out and its own resource constraints.

A lot of commentators have difficulty distinguishing Alphastar from humans when the former plays as Protoss (its Terran and Zerg play is weaker and often more mechanical).

> I mean strategies that humans could learn to adopt.

My main takeaways from watching Alphastar were "pros undervalue static defense and often have a less than optimal number of workers (where Alphastar's seeming overproduction of workers lets it shrug off aggressive harassment)," but I don't know if those have picked up in the meta.
> There's certainly no consensus that what it did was good, and interconnection isn't the same as forcing one provider to literally give data to another.

How about number portability?
Ask HN: Should we narrow our language/tech stack focus?
The number of programming languages continues to proliferate, as do the frameworks and libraries for each.

In many ways this leads to nice advancements, but it also has negative impacts: distraction, reinvention, technical debt, and other issues.

Proprietary zones have few or no options (C# Windows, Swift macOS); but those are the narrow cases. Internet and web services run Python, Ruby, Elixir, C#, Java, Kotlin, PHP, JavaScript, Perl, and probably half a dozen other languages.

If you look at any one language, you'll usually find one or more heavy frameworks (Rails, Django, Phoenix, Laravel, etc.), and even more lightweight frameworks and libraries tailored to more specific needs (APIs, services, etc.).

Should we not stop for a bit and evaluate what exists, then make an effort to consolidate? Are we not exhausted with job specs that list 5-10 very specific requirements which fit an increasingly narrow target group of devs?

Or the counter question: are we really benefitting from further diversification? Is there an overall return on investment in our proliferation of frameworks and libraries (and languages?).
Back in 2005-6 , nginx was so far ahead a generation of engineers adopted it… it’s use of signals to zero downtime upgrade (USR2) - still is one of the best features few other servers get right.

The syntax to configure is clear enough while not being super verbose…

It seems like historically people underestimated the insulation value of polyurethane because apparently it doesn't necessarily do well on the conventional R-value score.

Apparently a solid inch of sprayed polyurethane can provide 90% insulation, and 2 inches gets you to 99% insulation.
