No, but that is part of the reason every company is having so much difficulty right now.
I'd like to suggest two arguments that made me use software encryption on my tapes instead:
1. You don't have to trust the hardware and can use tool I trust and have the sources for.
2. If you encrypt yourself you can combine it with something like par2 to generate error detection and recovery data, letting you restore the encrypted file off a damaged tape.

A downside of encrypting yourself is that you can't benefit from the hardware compression either, hence the articles suggestion to do that in software before compressing as well.

Personally, my tape writing workflow is: dar (per file compression, skips uncompressable mime types + encryption) followed by par2cmdline with 30% redundancy. For comparison: CD-ROMs have 33% redundancy information (8 bits per 24 bits, CIRC encoding).
Feminist scholars do well at diagnosing the problem. but they're terrible when it comes to arguing for good solutions. They mostly talk about ideology, and let's not kid ourselves: ideology (divisive ideology, at that) is not going to improve women's self esteem or lower their insecurity.
So, while others have pointed out the media blocks are ECC protected/etc, I think what you are really looking for is application/fs control. LTO supports "Logical Block Protection" which is meta data (CRC's) which are tracked/checked alongside the transport level ECC/etc on fibrechannel & the drive itself.

Check out section 4.9 in https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/system/files/inline-files/....

To be clear, this is a "user" level function that basically says "here is a CRC I want the drive to check and store alongside the data i'm giving it". It needs to be supported by the backup application stack/etc if one isn't writing the drive with scsi passthrough or similar. Its sorta similar to adding a few bytes to a 4k HD sector (something some FC/scsi HDs can do too) turning it into a 4K+X bytes sector on the media, that gets checked by the drive along the way vs, just running in variable block mode and adding a few bytes to the beginning/end of the block being written (something thats possible too since tape drives can support blocks of basically any size).

The problem with these methods, is that one should really be encoding a "block id" which describes which/where the block is as well. Since its entirely possible to get a file with the right ECC/protection information and its the wrong (version) file.

So, while people talk about "bitrot", no modern piece of HW (except intel desktop/laptops without ECC ram) is actually going to return a piece of data that is partially wrong because there are multiple layers of ECC protecting the data. If the media bit rots and the ECC cannot correct it, then you get read errors.

Ask HN: Best chat app to replace RocketChat?
Hey y’all. I have a service over at Seeking Alpha, and they use RocketChat for chat, and it is beyond awful under normal circumstances, and also going down frequently in the last two weeks. Any suggestions for something close to a drop-in replacement?

Not OP, but we often include these two in our interviews:

1. Write code that will find the second largest item in an array on ints.

2. Write SQL that selects the second highest number from a DB table.

I'm floored how few candidates can do these. Many end up giving up or fiddling for 10 minutes before giving something like `SELECT table WHERE 2`.
Very seriously: Do yourself a favor and try out a real PaaS like Heroku sometime. Running a real, production-ready system on Heroku is truly as easy as "git push", and the concepts are way, way simpler to understand. It's not going to be the right fit for everybody, but as far as just pure devex goes, it's truly excellent.
My pet analogy for this scenario is: Go to all of your employees. One by one ask them to solve a programming challenge for you. Let them know if they don't produce a suitable result (to your liking) in the next 40 minutes, you will fire them immediately. See how they do.

I don't think its wrong to do these types of interviews. But interview stress is real, and it affects people in strange ways. I bombed one of these interviews once and the interviewer was convinced I was "not a front-end programmer". I had just left a job where I had written literally hundreds of thousands of lines of (modern) front-end code, daily, for the last several years. More complex than what I'd be writing at that company (I was eventually hired in spite of this particular interview). And oddest of all, that interviewer was (very soon after) let go. Such is the world of programming interviews.

So yeah. I don't think its necessarily the worst. It might even be the best way to interview candidates. But we all need to take our asessemtns with a huge grain of salt and stop being so judgemental.
Since there is an integrated GPU in the CPU as well, wouldn't CPU-only tests generally keep the discrete GPU turned off? If this thing doesn't effectively use an iGPU to keep power usage down, that's just as valid a criticism -- why spend so much wattage on a component you're not even using significantly?

I agree. I don't understand why you would use k8s on AWS. It's an abstraction on top of an abstraction doing nothing but adding complexity. If your k8s pods have to interact with S3 buckets, IAM profiles, and load balancers anyway then you can't ignore the platform. It's just somebody chasing the cloud agnosticism fallacy or doing resume driven development.

Well even that would vary widely. Some places it's easier to extract iron ore than others, or you could just melt down a meteorite and use that iron/steel to mine more ore.

Drilling also isn't necessarily so hard. Neolithic Chinese built perfectly circular discs out of jade, an extremely hard stone. They had no metal tools. It's possible that they could have developed more sophisticated equipment for mining rock, if they realized what they could do with it once they extracted it. https://www.ancient-origins.net/unexplained-phenomena/myster...

The Washington Post is no longer concerned with giving readers interesting and useful information. Instead, the entire newspaper is devoted to fearmongering, spin, and propaganda. A quick Google search for "Argentina Inflation Cause" yields the following result: "the price increase in Argentina was fueled by rapid expansion of the money supply". The WaPo very explicitly wants to rapidly expand the money supply in order to redistribute wealth and achieve "equity" or whatever the buzzword is today. I'd guess that this is likely the reason why they don't touch on this in the article - they want to distract you from what's currently happening, and instead are conditioning you to accept the outcome.
Oh dear....

There are some good bits to this video but it instantly loses credibility when it gives a single frequency right down to a cycle to the 'color' cyan. The announcer then proceeds to discuss the wavelength (singular) of the 'color' purple when he should have said violet. When discussing purple the screen flashes up with a very reddy magenta which the video uses as an example.

This is all the more horrifying given that the principal part of his talk is about RF carriers and modulation systems on said carriers for cell phones.

I know things like this happen but one doesn't expect to see such a blatant example on HN.

That's not "more declarative", that's just "more high-level". Using higher-order functions does not suddenly turn imperative programming into declarative programming.
I became quite proficient in those types of interviews just by doing really small amount of exercises. No need to grind for countless hours.

If you get an async automatic test you can always google your solution easily. You need to be proficient in understanding the problem and implementing the solution from description or rewriting in it different programming language. I had few live coding sessions with "leetcode like" task. Most of they time you'll ask you to do some basic thing, where the default complexity is around O(N²) and the idea is to come up with faster solution.

Once in a while I like to experiment with different programming language and leetcode is one of the best way to do that. People advice on building real world apps when learning new stack, but I find that really dull, as you need to understand a lot more machinery in the stack before you can actually have something running. Leetcodes are easy to run and create. At the same time they force you to lookup basic constructs, learn how to work with strings, arrays, etc.
At the rate of 1 bit in 18 minutes (assuming to just coding the signal as off/on every period), that's 34.2 years to transmit 1 MB. Without error correction. If its aliens, they're not in a particular rush to transmit the latest weather data.

That comment paper isn't actually debunking that specific survey. It's just essentially saying that proving that voter ID laws suppress minority votes is hard.

The phone survey of less than a 1,000 people is still a perfectly valid piece of evidence. The methodology wasn't obviously flawed and the delta was so large that the sample size was more than enough.

Here's another survey from 2012 that shows a similar number.

http://www.projectvote.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/AMERIC...

Sure as your comment paper points out, you can't use nation wide data to prove state level causation, but there's still good evidence that minorities are much less likely to have government ID.

It's not a shocking result either. We know that not having ID correlates with low income, and minority status also correlates with low income (on average, sure there are some minorities that actually have higher income).

Well yes and no. The thing is we have an aging population that we have to take care of and it's been growing for a while now. Consequently we don't have replacement for those unvaccinated workers, they are literally all we have.

I recently had to do a line integral to figure out how much coiled pipe I could fit inside a trench of a given width (trying to lay out geothermal loops in my yard to see if they fit (they don't)). I came up with a parametric formula that approximated the coiled pipe shape and integrated to get a length formula.

Advanced math comes up in the weirdest ways.
Yes, you wouldn't be building a steam engine with the tools of Greek artisans in antiquity, not even the ones who built the Antikythera mechanism. But we do know some things that would seem like crazy hacks to the ancients. For example, I know a simple trick. I can multiply numbers, of arbitrary size. And I can do it in a few seconds using just a stylus and tablet. This would have blown the minds of a learned Roman or Greek from that time.

For those who find the general idea enticing, there was a book written about 80 years ago on this idea. What if a time traveller got sent back to Ancient Rome? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lest_Darkness_Fall

A couple friends and I are big fans of the book, and premise. We always figured it was far too optimistic. Most likely you'd die of dysentery or be sold off into slavery. But assuming not, I figure the real path to power wouldn't be brandy, but strong acids and electroplating.

Sure there are breakthrough cases, but if you are unvaccinated the chances of catching covid are still much higher. And if you get myocarditis with the vaccine (which is rare) you will get it much worse with covid.
These aren't _my_ assumptions. There is a world of research on these topics. All people can and do have their own opinions but when we're talking about oppressed people (women are oppressed), we have to follow the path by asking "why?"

* Why do little girls suddenly start to ask if "boys are better" when they get to school?

* Why do we feel the need to tell people out opinions about how they look?

* Why is a tattoo of a butterfly on a wrist okay for a woman but not full sleeves? (Contrast that with men.)

* Why do we insist on loudly proclaiming our daughters are "not like other girls" or are "like a boy"? Is there something shameful about it?

We took away agency long ago and we've been dangling it in front of oppressed people for years, periodically letting take small bites. That's another form if how me keep a grip on things. We give people a taste, as long as they're willing to take the conditions that comes with it.

There's a thing called "choosey choice feminism" that is a hot button item. One side days "following the magazine standards is a choice and I'm free to make it because feminism" and the other side says "but why do the magazines exist and would you choose that if you weren't bombarded by it all day?" I think both sides are right but I also hear and see the problems. It's not about whether or not feelings or opinions are right though, it's about what you'd feel or think if you weren't subjected to it constantly. To ignore the external influences and dismiss patriarchy is to accept the status quo as a Good Thing and be okay with slut shaming and demonizing the very freedom of choice you're trying to defend.

I don't see how this works well for long (and it arguably hasn't) because of th cognitive dissonance required to accept all things to be true.
Well that's a different statement from the original and I do agree it's a problem worth discussing.

I grew up programming computers without network connections.

I don't think the current generation would think of such a device as a 'computer' any more than they would consider a rotary-dial a 'phone' (seen closer to a telegraph).

I tend to agree to the point in that the point of computers is the softness of software. If it never changes then it could be hardcoded and be like a typewriter but then I wouldn't think of it as a computer, which to me is like a Turing machine and program/data tape, not a particular hard-coded state-machine.
> There always has to be a Swede saying stuff like this.

That's quite racist, but since I said there are cultural differences between different places I guess so am I? There aren't many countries with as much socialism as Sweden and since it doesn't work without everyone doing their part we're proud to do it, it doesn't mean we're perfect but we try. I know no-one who wouldn't say throwing shit on the ground is bad.

> To my eternal shame I didn't say anything. This street me and the kids call Bajslagsgatan (street is really called Roslagsgatan) - the approximate translation for our nickname would be DogShit Street.

You're telling me that on a street in the middle of Stockholm where there are no trees and the buildings are around 6 stories high people just let their dogs shit on the pavement and walk off? I call major bullshit. If you'd have said Vanadislunden which is nearby and has a dog-park, I'd believe you.

EDIT: Apparently there are a few trees at the end of the street crossing over to Birger Jarlsgatan (Next to Norra Real), I guess every urban dogowner let their dogs shit there.
