Historically, I first used a Synology Diskstation NAS (DS620) with 6 bays and 6 x 1TB data center grade HDDs to keep secondary copies of photos and self-recorded videos (I don't have an urge to archive any commercial movies, as I could just buy them again if they got lost). The Synology GUI sits on top of a Linux variant and is easy to use and worked well, and is maintaned reasonably well (I don't use most of its functionality, you could run your intranet on it but if that's what you like, I'd recommend you buy two of them and separate concerns).

After that I decided to migrate as much of my hardware as possible to 19" racks. So next, I upgraded to a Synology NAS RS819 (4-bay, 4x4 HDD = 16 TB raw capacity, 12 TB in a RAID5 setup). This lasts for quite some time, as I'm not much into movies. Importantly, the NAS is normally physically _not_ connected to any networks except when I transfer a new batch of photos for archiving.

Some historic material is on a DAT tape in a fireproof safe but that is close to its expected end of life, which is fine as there are HDD copies.

To view the photos, I access a subset of commonly viewed media on another 19" server, so the NAS is truly for archival use only.

What would be nice, but is not yet implemented is a second site to add redundancy and protection from disasters (of course a backup should be offsite per definition). The two sites could synchronize over rsync. But I am still too concerned of the attack surface when putting archival machines on a network.
A solution could be the following: some friends recommend Google's "cold storage" as a tertiary cloud storage, which is affordable, and they use scripts to encrypt their data; I think that is a good idea.

The question regarding mechanisms to manage things in case of one's death is an excellent point raised by the poster - I bet a lot of valuable information assets have already been lost due to people passing away when their relatives are not IT savvy to rescue them (or the deceased didn't take precautions to leave passwords and instructions behind).
I had a similar experience with slide rule books I checked out from the public library in the 1970s. Looking on Amazon now, I see 'An Easy Introduction to the Slide Rule' by none other than Issac Asimov. It's entirely possible that this is the book I used, and I think it might fit your bill.
> whereas the norm for online poker is to play for money, often for large sums

That is definitely not the norm. Most people are playing recreationally. Heck it is illegal to pay poker online with real money in 44/50 states in the US.
Many countries in the Middle East are islamic theocracies, so they limit religious freedom by their very constitution. However, even in Iran, a person of Jewish heritage who converts to Islam should not have any (official legal) barriers to entry in political life. In a country ruled by a church, that seems relatively reasonable.
Interesting.
My main use case for using Word would be for my CV. Since I don't want it to render a single bit different than on a recruiting manager's screen. Unfortunately PDF still seems to be a bit of a disadvantage in some cases.
The irony is most domestic extremism and violence (right and left) is unofficially tolerated because it's useful to be able to direct it at your opponents and just not enforce laws against it, so in many cases it's completely manufactured. I stopped being outraged years ago because that's how they know it's working.

The domestic extremism thing in north america is going to use the same absurdist playbook, which is filling the message with inconsistency and nonsense so that people are so disgusted by it we treat it as too stupid to do anything about - and that in effect neutralizes us so we do nothing, and that is the sufficient condition for evil to prevail.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist so much as a conspiracy arbitrageur, and as long as we think the cadre of people behind these authoritarian plays are stupid and incompetent, the longer we will do nothing to stop them, and the more extreme it will ultimately need to be to dislodge them. There was a time when I would leave these things unsaid, but I think it's important to recognize the time where that was strategic has passed.

If you are among those who can see what's going on, now is the time to articulate it, imo.

Hm, I am still not sure I understand your point:

I mean the UML spec as its whole is quite a mess, sure, which is why it is not so relevant anymore. But very specific defined UML diagramms, like UML class diagramms - carry just the essential information for me. Like class name, member names with types and connections showing me where this class interfaces or inherits from. I really liked that and preferred it much over the same information in code representation.

But doing it by hand was just not worth it for me.
I like your framework.

Would you put statistical analysis "algorithms" in the same category as "Machine Learning"?
I can at least see the argument that tapping the screen a couple times in a certain pattern might not be sufficient, but having to generate a code is. I think it's a ridiculous argument, but I wouldn't be even remotely shocked that some octogenarian judge who doesn't own a cell phone is convinced by it.
I do not think we’ll ever manage to automate everything. The more we automate, the more stuff to be done we’ll discover or invent. Not the old job, but many new ones.
On face value that’s pretty fanning of the current prosecutorial office.

It’s a discouraging dereliction of duty to not follow up and prosecute these criminals. These thefts not only hurt the companies but also hurt each buyer who will have to pay indirectly for the added cost of operations.

As I mentioned in the previous thread, we may yet see a Pinkerton service rise to meet this need.
It's an artifact of a time when RAM was extremely expensive and CPUs were slow. Dumping the in-memory binary representation to a disk was apparently the logical choice at the time.

Not at all - the improved competition would help existing users by encouraging innovation and improving search quality.

For example - by offering a way for any provider to embed info boxes and search UIs, all competing with each other.

Or by reducing adverts to increase better quality organic results (Google can have much less cash and still run fine).

Or by solving all the basic search relevancy flaws discussed on Hacker News in recent weeks.
I think you are grossly overestimating the interconnectedness of it all. Yes the defense sector is large. NSO employs what, 300 people? The Israeli tech sector as a whole employs about a million, including tens of thousands working for Microsoft, Nvidia, Intel, Google, Apple, Amazon, IBM, Oracle, Facebook, Dropbox among others.

The cloak and dagger people are a drop in the bucket.

For some time I've been pondering about creating a multiplayer poker AI that would (1) play reasonably well but not at a superhuman level (2) not require expensive hardware.

Frustratingly, this seems to be an unsolved problem. Pluribus is only 6-max, requires fixed starting stack sizes and requires a lot of hardware.
It’s pretty absurd to declare that “tankies” (presumably meaning “Western European communist party members who explicitly supported the Soviet subjugation of Eastern Europe”) is co-extensive with “the far left”, when most of the left considered Soviet foreign policy abhorrent.

Beyond that, here in the USA, I don’t know anyone who I would consider both a “China apologist” and a “leftist” (“far” or otherwise) – China has not been anything remotely resembling socialist for at least a generation, and the China apologists I know all vote GOP (or would if they could vote).

Unless by “apologist” you just mean “has a low expectation that China’s political system is going to collapse or radically democratize in the near future, and thinks that some level of economic and diplomatic engagement is necessary despite China’s human rights record”.

The bill as I understand it from reading an article or two still allows targeting based on content. So if you’re watching videos about car maintenance, they can put up ads for Pep Boys. They’re not banned from advertising totally.

What they can’t do is put up ads for vacuum cleaners because you were searching for them on another site or emailed somebody about them.
Sure, maybe in not doing what every other database does, that really helps users out when they're suffering unpredictable performance, they're demonstrating their far superior knowledge. And maybe all the users that are suffering are somehow incompetent.

Or maybe it's just typical developer hubris of the kind that hits everyone at some point.
Thats why other databases have parameter sniffing.

And using prepared statements only works on the same connection so of limited use.

Luckily PostgreSQL's optimizer is very primitive and so planning doesn't take too much time, as it gets more advanced the lack of plan reuse will become more of an issue. Its already an issue with the LLVM JIT compilation time.

Some of my older drives are no longer recognized by the drivers anymore.

I've had several drives completely fail, and one I dropped that never worked again.

I've used CDROMS, DVD-Rs, zip drives, and even cartridge tape for a while, but the hard drives work the best. I still have the cartridge tapes, but no way to read them anymore. Same with zip disks, can no longer read them.
Why nowadays people associated ads with targeted ads? Google can still show ads, just not surveillance-based info ads.

I'm fine with them showing ads or even contextual (based on youtube content, blog content, etc) ads or targeted geography (based on ip address, which is already public) ads which don't need surveillance at all.
So you mean Google won't use cookies to track the things I browse then use retargeting which is basically selling my data/habits (by proxy) to the advertiser? I totally thought they did this...
This is a semantics debate, but it kind of is an emulator. Instead of emulating a CPU, it emulates the Windows API. That's obviously a major difference: One is inherently slower, while the other is inherently more complicated.

WINE originally stood for "Windows Emulator", but for trademark reasons it was changed to "Wine Is Not An Emulator". That's giving you some mixed messages now, isn't it? [edit] I just checked Wikipedia, and that's not true -- the name wasn't changed due to a trademark problem, it was changed due to a genuine confusion about what the term "emulator" meant.

The things you’re stating are hardly obvious. In fact everything you’re saying is already true - providers can already compete with Google on search.

It’s true that Google can run in less money, but the argument can’t simply be that. Otherwise you’re effectively saying companies cannot make as much money as possible in general, no?
I dunno, if they get their stuff done with little supervision and bring in a little maturity and experience, I would call that professionalism.

Wow, is this a bad post. Hand-wavey discussion of "these bills" without even the name of them (let alone a thomas.loc.gov link)... Isn't Google an internet company? What's the call-to-action for the reader... Dial in to their Congressperson and complain about "these bills?"
I am assuming the person was referring to "uBlock Origin" given that "uBlock" has already shown it can't be trusted, maybe I am wrong and he was indeed referring to "uBlock".

The repo was handed in good faith, not for the sake of financial gains. It turned out to be a mistake, from which I learned. That was now nearly seven years ago. If the take away from that event after years of never breaching user trust is that "uBlock Origin can't be trusted in the long run", that's pretty harsh.
No problem, it was more like morbid curiosity.

Who could have guessed that one of the world's oldest ethnoreligious territorial debates could be so pernicious ;)?

I agree with your analysis: it's very easy to play the trump card at the onset and rest safely knowing that your position is insurmountable. Argumentatively, it's the equivalent of two opposing armies refusing to leave their respective high grounds to get down to the dirty business of war (or peace, in this case).

I am not an Israeli and I have never been to Israel, so I'll spare the world from another opinion on how to solve the problem. It is only my perspective, as a diaspora Jew, that many of Israel's actions qua sovereign state are not defensible on the basic plane of human rights.
Well you can see that breathing is stimulated with rising CO2 levels, everyone knows this whether they have exercised or held a non-permeable bag over their head.

Its interesting because Climate Change aka rising CO2 levels will stimulate the population globally which then presents a new area of concern for authorities who like to keep control of a population. Hadnt thought of that until now!

OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice always used to do this much better than Microsoft, but my understanding is that Microsoft has made more of an effort

>A doctor, most countries already have an exemption system in place, use it mate

I'm glad your personal experience is different (and much better) than mine. All I can say is that where I live and work, getting an exemption from a doctor is not so straightforward (even if it technically exists) and questioning anything about a vaccine/booster (including relating actual personal experience) is either not well received or just ignored. On social media, it's even attacked. Personally, it's very frustrating.
they started this thought:

"Aside from DRAM expansion and smarter NICs, CXL also hopes to revolutionize how we view and share the memory pools already installed in your chips. Today, every device has its own address space. Transparently unified addressing is extremely slow for randomized memory patterns and causes unpredictable latencies. "

and never really finished it. does CXL include address mapping?

When I fly, I like to cache a map of the region I fly over on my phone, particularly the airport region at the destination. Then, you can hold your phone to the window for a few minutes and get a GPS fix, even if in airplane mode, because as you say GPS is purely passive.

Then you can follow along nicely where you are, at the resolution you want. (Sure, many airlines have moving maps, but they're not as good as Apple maps or Google maps.)
> And yet many people don't want to pay for YT Premium. YouTube wouldn't exist if targeted ads didn't exist.

Is that actually true? Did pre-google YouTube have the level of targeted ads that we have right now? I would be incredibly surprised if the level of surveillance at that time was anywhere near what we have now. Granted, Youtube would almost certainly not be as profitable as it is right now, but I do think it would be possible.

That said, I don't think you're wrong; things would be pretty different, but I also think this might lead to more competition in the video sharing space. As it stands right now, no one can compete with the market dominance of YouTube, particularly because of their insanely good recommendation system.

Show HN: Salary Estimator Tool
Ask HN: Is developer skill like physical strength?
I want to know if you agree or disagree with my claim that developer skill is similar to strength or fitness. There is no such thing as "specialist" developers. Someone who is an amazing kernel hacker is most likely also very good at writing Haskell software or Javascript code for websites. The kernel hacker may not know Haskell but could pick up the language in a few weeks and then be productive with it. Conversely, someone who is weak in Javascript is likely also weak in C.

Like fitness. If you can run a marathon you will outperform me, who can barely run one kilometer, on almost any physical activity. Whether it be running, biking, playing football, tennis, boxing, etc. Perhaps in some sports I would have an edge by knowing technique or tactics, but in most your superior fitness would be decisive.

I also think using terms like strong and weak developer is less stigmatizing than good and bad developer. You can get physical strength by lifting weights and developer strength by hacking a lot. My strongest colleagues debugged any system with equal ease; Erlang, Bash, C, Javascript, CSS, you name it. My weakest struggled with all languages and systems. Just my observations from years of work...
RPL is just magic. It's really fun to work with.

It's hard to appreciate what you're holding in your hand when you have one of these machines. When I learned the 48s had both Kermit and a serial port, the clouds parted and the sun came out. Really extraordinary capability in a $99 calculator.

Always liked the form factor of the 28s, just needed a way to get code on and off (besides the printer port) of them.
That's actually eliminated/reduced the needs for translators. The jobs replacing it are much fewer and higher skilled (software dev).

So the tasks in your example are easier, but the easier jobs have been eliminated or replaced with harder jobs.
> Once the remaining modules are converted to PE, this will make it possible to run 32-bit applications without installing 32-bit Unix libraries.

That sounds really amazing, I can't wait. That will really simplify using 32bit windows programs on a 64 bit OS.
So as a Wine end-user, it looks like this release means no more having to have multiple wineprefixes to support both 32/64 bit applications, and also no more need to ensure libraries like libpng zlib etc are installed, either 32 or 64 bits? That seems quite nice.
I'm not sure if hoarding the replacement parts goes against any of the Right-To-Repair legislation set forth. In your source it even says so ='(

* it was super opaque where this relative import comes from: https://github.com/saml-to/assume-aws-role-action/blob/main/... but after some sniffing around, it seems to be some openapi generation magick https://github.com/saml-to/assume-aws-role-action/blob/main/... against one of your own API endpoints https://github.com/saml-to/assume-aws-role-action/blob/main/... which seems to mean that using this toy is not "self contained" in the way that `sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity` is

About a year ago, with my brother, we started collecting salaries from job offers anywhere in the United States. We made a batch job that stored them in a small database. It has grown to more than 5 million data points, so we built infosalary.com, a data visualization tool to explore salaries in a nice way. You can search by job title, company, location, or any combination of them.

It’s all free.

Hoping it’s useful for anyone working in HR, planning to hire or looking for a new job.

Please let us know if any salary estimation seems off, or in case you have cool ideas for new features. Thanks!

I can see how, if Google's top priority is turning a profit, Google having a product so data-rich and unified that it leaves no room for competitors is bad for consumers in the long term. On the other hand, the most desirable option would be a reliably "benevolent" mega-corp that could be trusted to prioritize the user experience while also horizontally integrating across product segments to create a unified service.
