If I don’t like the deal you made with me, fine, I’ll walk away, that’s negotiation.

First things I did on my own server at home:

1. Disable public ipv6 on the iLO interface

2. change all the passwords

3. Set-up tls on the web interface and force http to https redirection.

Ironically, point 3 alone is really most of the protection: the web interface is so slow in https it's basically unusable.
Used it to find an artist and commission artwork last year. It looks and feels different, but not enough so that it's unfamiliar. It nags more now, just like the rest of the internet. I use it about as much as before, which is not all that much until I need something specific.
> DLTs can indeed be incredibly useful, e.g. when multiple parties use the tech as a trusted pseudonymous data log, e.g. drug tracking from production to pharmacies.

Why can't they just use a database? Tracking information isn't a new problem.
Use words like "password", "hacked" in you tweet and wait for it.
Sure. I don't work in the ecommerce space, but I think the big problem that industry is attempting to solve right now is - "how can we take off the shelf language models and use them to do things that make us money?". This is a super broad problem and there's many answers to this question. It can be as complicated as creating intelligent chatbot, but also as simple as adding multi-lingual support to an app via cross-lingual training.

The example I gave of multi-modal learning was really just highlighting a dichotomy in the techniques that we use in machine learning today. FWIW I am a couple of years removed from working heavily with tabular data, so do take this with a grain of salt. But there are essentially two different modeling approaches for two different types of datasets. On the one hand, you have deep learning (BERT, language models, CV models) which does well on raw data like text or images. These usually work by mapping the raw data to dense embeddings, which are the output of neural models. On the other hand, you have decision trees / forests (think XG boost) that work great on tabular data - spreadsheets or other data of that nature.

But what do you do if you have a spreadsheet of data and one of the columns is raw text data but the other columns are say sparse boolean features? How can you incorporation the extra information from the spreadsheet into your language model? I think this is a common problem in industry that there's not a clear solution for right now.
No, I don’t like to use sarcasm, I prefer plain language instead. Especially in writing where sarcasm is harder to detect.

It's not like ISP's aren't shady af when it comes to this. I can appreciate your concern w.r.t. cloudflare but, at least in the US, ISP's are often more ostensibly dangerous than cloudflare.

To suggest that Cloudflare is "thousand times" worse is a bit of a stretch, I guess.

That's an interesting parallel with St. Paul's position on sexual morality. He appears to condemn varieties of homosexual behaviour, but it's in the context of institutionalised behaviour in Roman society which possibly parallels that in Afghanistan today.
The way it handles ownership (or at least used to) is completely broken with screwed up stuff happening inside /usr land.

Macports puts everything under /opt/local and you add /opt/local/bin to your PATH.

I've never understood the preference for homebrew, when I moved to MacOS (from Linux) 5 years ago as my working development environment, I read about both and homebrew seemed like a complete kludge, whereas Macports worked the way it should.

SIP just made it even more relevant. Macports deals with specific MacOS related integration (eg Java etc) using the Apple blessed mechanisms while still providing all of the flexibility of the many many packages.
I don't myself but DigitalOcean had there queue system to create VMs built over MySQL.

I couldn't find the original video describing their architecture. (It's private now, I guess).
Implementations that use advisory locks like https://github.com/que-rb/que are much more efficient (atleast when I last tested) and will easily reach 10k job/s on even very modest hardware.

There is a Go port of Que but you can also easily port it to any language you like. I have a currently non-OSS implementation in Rust that I might OSS someday when I have time to clean it up.
Isn't it that what is described is an acceleration of natural regrowth?
What they should have done from day one. The kludge they used in /usr was broken-by-design.
Yes, that’s also an appropriate use of the idiom.
I have the similar schedule like you do. I even plan a short 0.5 - 1h training between morning and lunch. And like you, I am more productive in the afternoon, at the end of the day.
This is the answer - forever ban targeted ads.

Ads should be a display only HTML tag that just allows limited read only display WITH NO JAVASCRIPT. This would remove tracking and malware and force ads to be targeted on the content page not on the user.
I'm still skeptical how that could reasonably work on an opt-in basis.

Being annoyed daily by ads in exchange for some obscure crypto currency which might be worth something in the far future doesn't seem like a proposal to me that could convince a lot of people.

So I wonder, how many Brave users actually do opt-in? More than five?
The OP knowingly walked out without being charged. At this point it’s not any different than if he/she had just pocketed it and walked out.

The different between this and the contrived shit you posted is knowing you didn’t pay and walking out of the store in the first place. There isn’t really any subtly here.
4 to 5 hours is achievable and easy if you are aligned with your work and team and find it energizing. With a bad team, bad money, or bad product, downright near impossible to care enough for it.
What do you think “the OS’s shell” is?
A bullet journal style thing. I have a list of goals for the year that I rewrite on the top of ever page (page a day).

Then I have a break down of tasks that will bring those goals to life.

From there I make my daily todo-list.
It's paper based, and I've been doing it for about 10 years.

I built a habit to do it while I have my morning coffee, and I review the list a few times a day.
A browser and its privacy is much more than the engine. You could take webkit and make the most spying browser ever out of it. Most of what Safari does for privacy resides outside the engine itself.
Is this true for everyone or is this a special specimen "Most days I can do somewhere between one and two hours of hard thinky work."?

5 - 10 hours of deep work per week required to get a Phd from Imperial. That's impressive.
Yes, R730 would have been better. I learned that post fact.
No. Being gender non-conforming and being trans are two massively different things. I am gender non-comforming in. I am not trans at all. Whenever I read about trans, I can't relate to it and their feelings, issues etc are puzzle to me. I can relate to what other gender non-conforming people say perfectly fine.

Also, seems to me that being gender non conforming is much much less issue then being trans. To the point it is not much issue while being trans seems to sux.
Let me try as I think I am almost your opposite.

Hour 0-0.5: get back to whatever I left the previous day... most productive 0.5 hour of the day with a fresh mind.

Hour 0.5-1.5: meetings, status updates, syncing with others...

Hour 1.5-3.0: more intense coding. May be bug hunting, new feature, more testing...

Hour 3.0-4.0: lunch.

Hour 4.0-5.0: typically helping other team members or discussing bugs/new features etc. Or doing "research", keeping up-to-date reading whatever (software related), including HN.

Hour 5.0-5.5: coffee break, thinking about personal stuff usually, have a little snack or something.

Hour 5.5-7.0: more coding. Much lower productivity though, typically leave things to finish in the 0.5 hour I am most productive the next day. Might read news and non-work related things to give my brain a little break every now and then.
Didn't read the article, huh. Not even the bullet summary of the article. Just went straight into outraged commenter mode.
I don't think anyone is suggesting people will make operating systems in a no code app. They're designed to make building CRUD apps easy. The thing is though ... CRUD apps are 90% of the dev industry (by dev headcount, not revenue).

What is a coherent (non-recursive) definition of gender that is completely independent from sex?

To me it seems like you're just left with 'subculture' at that point, but I think that's missing something very core to gender, namely sexuality.

This is a straw-man argument. Of course if the cloud could save me time and energy, I would use it, but it doesn't. In my experience, you spend just as much time in the long run tweaking/configuring the AWS console as you do simply running bash scripts on a baremetal server. That's why "AWS consultant" roles exist as a full-time job. The cloud does NOT save time for me, and it's far worse in many ways: opaque, more expensive, and can lull you into a false sense of security (what do you do, for example, if your cloud providers backups just fail one day?).
Reading the headline, I thought they were going to talk about base isolating the entire building.

It's quite intriguing, and I suppose I've just never thought of it that way, that you can base isolate individual objects.
I was quite surprised when I saw the first reports of that and find them equally faszinating and terrifying. I am wondering, what started this behavior by the Orcas and whether this is in any way connected to them increasingly killing other whales.

It is probably way to naive to assume that they mistake boats for prey as they are highly intelligent animals. They seem to know what fishing boats are and are known to steal fishes from long lines.

These attacks seem to primarily target the rudders. Of course this is the one part of the boat they can easily damage, most hulls should be able to withstand the attacks better. Also, attacking the fins is probably very universal, when you are attacking another aquatic animal. I wonder, how much the Orcas can understand the extend to which boats depend on the rudders though.
You missed proof of waste in your conclusion.
Reading Mary Beard article, the ability to read texts for work was not issue at all. The issue was effective sight reading of complex text you are encountering the first time. She was writing about that being slow.
If they retire early (meaning no more income from work), how do they pay off the new mortgage every month? Do they just pay back using the sum they got from the mortgage loan? What's the point then?
Using cloud-managed backups can lull you into a false sense of security. I've heard enough of horror stories of the snapshot/restore mechanism failing for some reason, especially on certain edge-cases when you use huge amounts of data. What then? All your cloud marketing magic becomes a liability.
Photographs by them and others are displayed at the Manzanar National Historic Site. Both the web site and the physical site are worth visiting.

What all of the photographers had in common was a desire to show some kind of truth, and an inability to avoid restrictions from the authorities in the pursuit of that truth. What we are left with is a valuable resource to help us understand the camp experience. Although these artists were censored and manipulated, they provide for us today a concrete record of a time when American citizens were held behind barbed wire without due process of law. For that we are grateful.

I wonder if governments quietly talk the companies behind the mainstream consumer OSes (Windows, Android, iOS and macOS) and components (I'm thinking about the device drivers) into not to try too hard to make them invulnerable to attacks. They can do all sort of subtle and not too subtle things to companies that cost them more money than they can lose because of zero days and zero clicks. After all nearly everybody has a phone that NSO could spy into and we didn't go back to Nokia 3310.
I really like your number of partitions with nice divisors, I thought of it myself and enthusiastically raved about it to an architect (which I really respect for a lot of reasons) but he insisted on some formula about throughput and I dropped the idea. Truth be told, I work for a bank with fixed number of servers.

Do they? It seems oddly English for a Thai practice, but they're so tourist-oriented that I guess that really could be what they say.

The Chinese term is 人妖, which if nothing else explicitly identifies them as outside the realm of normal human behavior.
> That cannot be true; brave cannot block first party ads.

Do all sites on the internet employ first party ads? No? Then it can be true.
Well, I can't speak of Mix, and Digg is definitely more clickbait content than anything else, but all others are really good and have only little ads.
Ask HN: What are the most important questions to ask a potential cofounder?
I found previous threads like [this](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4865653) - but links are broken. So asking again.
Everything you say is probably true but you don't consider how your proposed solutions scale. They don't.

The amount of meat produced by the methods you suggest is several magnitudes too small. If you remove large-scale farming where pigs, chickens, and cows are fed grains and soy, global meat consumption would be very small.
Free-range does not produce enough meat to produce even a fraction of current consumption.
China imports huge amounts of soy from the US because there is not enough calories to feed their pigs.

You are proposing boutique solutions that would mean meat consumption would be just a fraction of what it is now.

Count calories per hectare and you realize that your solutions don't work on scale.

cattle 300 million
pigs 1.5 billion
chicken 70 billion

Show HN: Product Planning Kit for PMs
This happened maybe a week ago, over the course of several days. I was there and talked to the pirate via Telegram.

I don't really like Vice and don't want to reveal anything about the pirate (singular) in particular, but I believe they are Russian, not Ukrainian (I just sent a message asking), and it is a younger gentleman (perhaps early 20's). His name on the SDR messages was Alex but his Russian name is something different. He was very kind, at least through messages (we spoke via Russian and some simpler English messages) and he accepted requests for music and images.

By far the clearest hijacking broadcast was the first day. The buzzer was completely gone, Alex's broadcast absolutely drowned it out for most online receivers I could find. The following days seemed to battle a bit more - perhaps the military did something to boost the signal.

As well, the days following the hijacking there were a lot of cryptic messages sent out, at a much higher frequency than usual. You can find what they sound like on YouTube if you just type "uvb76 broadcast". There were several per day whereas historically the channel could be unused for months at a time. There is still no known meaning behind the messages but they're always broadcasted by a live human, speaking Russian.

I screenshotted almost everything I could find, sans his Telegram handle for obvious reasons, Twitter thread here: https://twitter.com/bad_at_computer/status/14839824282219397...

for the sake of completeness, we did get DMLS working for Matrix last year, as per https://matrix.org/blog/2021/12/22/the-mega-matrix-holiday-s.... It’s not landed yet outside of test jigs though, as we’re focusing on fixing UX instead.
Pandemic work from home is not regular work from home.

If you’re doing it as a choice, you need space and a regular home office. Not everyone can do that right now. Sometimes you need to move house to make it happen.

Also, not everyone wants to work from home. I do for the majority of the time. I’ve see. A pretty equal split between never office, a bit of both and never home.

For those not in their ideal environment there will be a productivity impact. The pandemic is an additional handicap.

We’ve proven we can function without a building, so coming out of the pandemic is realising what type of office meets the people in your company need.
Swag – Automatically Generate RESTful API Documentation for Go
Rust's type conversions are explicit, so a lot of the examples that invoke "integral promotion" won't compile because there is no such promotion, you need to write down what you meant, giving you an opportunity to reconsider, hey, I want to subtract a large positive integer from a smaller positive integer I... huh, I guess these aren't unsigned after all, need to do some refactoring.

WUFFS types are constrained to specific ranges, so not only is there no implicit promotion or arithmetic conversion, overflow is also impossible. If it might overflow it simply won't compile.

WUFFS also doesn't believe in operator precedence, a + b * c won't compile because, what did you mean there? Write (a + b) * c or a + (b * c) depending on which you actually meant.

The distro should be packaging software for end users, relying on the python version they maintain. The problem is that Apple isn’t doing that at all, and brew seems to have issues getting all formulas to converge on known-good dependencies.
Those Dutch who don't wear helmets do it because they're idiots, it's as simple as that. Any fall - even if you're standing with your legs on the ground - on a bike can break your skull.

It seems that the regeneration process induced by the researchers is different than the natural regrowth pathway in Xenopus.

Other users advice about traveling, relaxing, and exercising is spot on, but probably not what you were looking for. Besides these are things you should do for a lifetime, not just a summer.

I know you mentioned working at a research lab but have you tried more academic research? You seem to value learning and mentorship a lot, so it could be a lot of fun to pick a professor and work with them for a summer. Given your background, you could probably convince any STEM professor to work with you, and I would heavily recommend exploring stuff outside your area of expertise.

First year emigrating to the US, I started a service to automate the laborious College Algebra online homework with WolframAlpha and $20/job Pakistani teens. Had an AdWords campaign running. Calls kept pouring in - majority from Phoenix university students. If you wanted a perfect score, I’d charge you extra. If you wanted an imperfect score, I’d still charge you extra. Life was good, I was naive. I thought I had cracked it. Then I got served. The CEO of the company (one of the biggest educational publishers) was to fly in personally. They thought I ran a huge operation with many departments, since I would routinely change voices and direct customers around departments. Once my lawyers learned the real scale of the operation, they laughed and managed to get all charges dropped.

Looking back at it, would I have had a chance, had I approached the company in some defensive role against such activity?
Until recently my home server was not capable in many respects to the outside machines (picked for cheap storage, not CPU/RAM considerations, going with the "redundant array of inexpensive backup locations" method), but I do currently have a variable dedicated server that might see some live workloads moved to it.
What is the point of this article? More 'minor attracted person' propaganda? More tries to push pedophilia into normality? Key points: "Gender roles in Edo Japan recognized an in-between position for young men, called Wakashu, that was erased as Japan westernized.", "Wakashu usually ranged between seven to early twenties in age....", "Wakashu were connected to sexuality. As youth, they were considered largely free from the burdens and responsibilities of adulthood but regarded as sexually mature... " so it used to be perfectly fine having sex with 7 years old kids before the narrow minded westerners "invaded" Japan.

This article is not about gender, is about normalizing pedophilia.
Indeed. It’s a fairly logical step in exploit development, and (while a significant amount of impressive work) not a particularly novel idea.
You make some very good points. I think that one thing that is not at all obvious to most non-technical people is just how FAST computers can compute, even the most basic and low spec ones.
