Perhaps the existential anxiety was already there and has kept them from working towards a family? Look at a history of births and you see a major drop-off in WW2, a period where it really felt like the world could end, literally people anxious over their continued existence. Take away the War, and you get a baby boom.
Yes, that will work. It's how Spirit and Opportunity landed on Mars. Many people will die in airbag deployment failures before it works reliably, some of whom would have survived without the airbags, and they will be prohibited in the sort of repressive jurisdictions that prohibit bulletproof vests and gas masks.

A server rate limiting login attempts is additional security.

A remote system asked to promise it's what it says it is: the illusion of security.

Jailbreaking, DRM, etc are all evidence of this illusion.
Computers work perfectly fine. Engineering was done for a long time with slide rules to avoid the tedium of looking up values in a book and grinding out results by hand or adding machine. Using them correctly requires knowing their limitations just as knowing the limitations of a computer is important. They aren't magic oracles that always give correct answers.
You know what? You're 100% right and I agree with you. I am wrong here.
But still by your definition of logic, anyone can logically conclude it's a scam. Just make the assumption that people don't give out money for free, which is a valid assumption to make given most people's experience with the world.

I suppose you’d be sad to learn that virtually all of the top paying tech companies have generous parental leave policies.

If you want a more extreme case, I hear Netflix gives up to 12 months of leave - and employees commonly take the full amount!
To be fair, once you have the device in your hands you can do other nastiness as well such as loading a modified initramfs (such contains cryptsetup) that intercepts the entered key and writes it somewhere. This part of the boot system is normally not encrypted as it's the very step that asks for the passphrase.

Good 'evil maid' mitigations should be sufficient here too, like encrypting at the SSD level with a boot password.

However I do wonder if this bypasses secure boot checks as I doubt the Luks header is signed. That's normally an evil maid mitigation but I don't think it'll suffice here.
Not really, in Argentina salaries get adjusted by inflation all the time, however house prices are in USD (because the peso is worthless), and we are talking over 60K usd for an old 1bed in a not really nice part of buenos aires city, and buying property for locals is impossible.
You have to also consider that, last time I checked was late 2019, now it's probably worst, ~90% of argentinians earn less than 300 usd a month, and since there is no credit, buying something is almost impossible without the aid of your parents.

A lot of people my age (31) +/- 10 years, middle class, professionals, are leaving the country in droves to Europe, Canada, USA and other LATAM countries as we realize there is no hope things will get better, as it's the same story our parents and grandparents went through.
CM3: A Causal Masked Multimodal Model of the Internet
The quality of ios has been reducing a lot recently,

Sure it has been getting a whole lot of very nice features, but ios has been visibly buggy recently to the point where if I don’t reboot my phone atleast once every 5-6 weeks, bugs start appearing constantly,

From glitching of settings app to outright daily crashes of the settings app , to safari acting weirdly, to the home screen’s app drawer vanishing suddenly or the search function vanishing.

Etc, etc.

(I’m on a stable modern ios version)
Presumably they'd buy with an installment plan or debt financed over time.

I.e., you buy $3000 worth of goods, but pay $200/mo for 30 months ($6k total). You sell for $2000 cash (not on installment). So far, you've paid $200 and gotten $2000, up $1800.

If you paid back $200/mo in real terms, this would be a terrible deal! But every month your payment real value drops 10%, so you only really are only paying 200 + 180 + 162 + ... and over 30 months you only pay $1915 in original-value terms.

I think most of the problem with Webpack is that it gets complicated and no one is comfortable to touch it. With a little bit of rotation in a team and then most folks are not comfortable to touch. There are also man ways to configure and every project is so different that if you are touching Webpack only once a year that you never get totally expert with it. Hence, at the end, from my experience, people do not enjoy configuring Webpack.
In my experience, it isn’t that companies don’t want to put in the work, it’s that some middle manager made a decision. I’ve been told to “implement login with X” more than once in my career and when asked what about Y or Z, they say, “we only want X” with no further explanation.

> First, is programming skill what this is actually measuring, and second, is programming skill what this is intended to measure?

Yeah, no, and, no. I agree.

I don't think it's measuring programming skill. I think there's a strong enough correlation between that skill and being willing and able to study for & attempt their interviews that simply conducting them the way they do yields a set of candidates who would practically all be acceptable hires—but they can't drop the unpleasant and/or useless parts and make them easier, or that would stop being true. There are definitely lots of people who'd be good, or even great, that it excludes, but I don't think they care, probably regarding the cost of finding those folks as too high to be worth it. As it is, it barely even matters how good a job they do of weeding out candidates who show up. Most of them are probably good hires (for what FAANG is looking for, which is some combination of IQ and "how bad you want it", as far as I can tell).

> The cynic in me says that's what these companies are actually selecting for, although it's likely at least some people involved in the decision making aren't doing it consciously.

Heh, yeah, I agree that's likely part of it.

I think there's also a hazing component. Hazing is effective at creating strong in-group sentiment and bonding, in a hurry.

Overall, I think measuring programming ability has almost nothing to do with why they do what they do. I also don't think that necessarily means it's ineffective at achieving their goals. I think complaints about FAANG-type hiring, when directed at companies that pay in the top-tier, are misguided for that reason. I also hate them, and don't think they're good at measuring actual programming ability, but I think there's likely a non-crazy (though a smidge sociopathic or cruel, maybe) point of view from which they are the right thing for those companies to do.

Well, I'm obviously not a lawyer, but that definitely was not my intent when I said offer "hosted version of Hibiki HTML" :/ . I meant hosted, like offering a service like Netlify, Next.js, or Heroku or as an integrated development experience (not like a CDN). Also it is 100% fine for anyone to use Hibiki on Netlify or Heroku or any generic hosting service.

Since it was already confusing, I'll work on clarifying that point specifically in the future. https://github.com/dashborg/hibiki/blob/main/LICENSE , tried to make it clear that any generic hosting was fine, and also 100% free if it is used for internal tools.
> Russia has publicly expressed regret that it did not get the wording in a treaty

At the time in question, Russia wasn't a sovereign subject of international law, but a subordinate entity within the USSR. Mikhail Gorbachev, who was a somewhat important figure in the USSR government at the time, and likely to know, has explicitly stated that such assurances we're not given, nor was the matter negotiated [0] (it is true that the possibility or it being an item on the table seems to have been raised as an inducement to the USSR to participate in resolution of German reunification, but an offer that an issue can be in the table to get someone to the table is not a commitment, even informal, on the anything besides allowing discussion should it be raised.)

You can get these low interest rates because the government subsidises them. If it were a "free market" so to speak you would not be able to get such a rate, and possibly would not be able to get a fixed-rate mortgage at all.
What do you mean work with the file?

Either way, small HTML tools like this I'd rather have dependencies in-lined any day. I'd want to be able to chuck it into a folder for 3 years and be able to use it later even if the dependency hosting goes down.
Read this last night and was really intrigued! Hadn't known much about a Magnetar before (what the scientists hypothesize)

> A magnetar is an exotic type of neutron star, its defining feature that it has an ultra-powerful magnetic field. The field is about 1,000 times stronger than a normal neutron star and about a trillion times stronger than the Earth's. Magnetars are, by far, the most magnetic stars in the universe.

> But (thankfully for society, if not so much for you or your loved ones) your experience is very atypical. Unless all had multiple comorbidities (immune suppression + obesity + something else), what happened to your family members was very, very, very rare.

Agreed, I wasn't attempting to extrapolate it over the general population. But you may consider your "media campaigns" comment from my POV.

The point I was attempting to make is that (as a relatively young man) I would risk many illnesses over a long-term debilitating illness that affected my sexual health, even if the former were objectively worse for my overall health. That's why I don't think severity and preference are necessarily correlated. Anyway, the "8 replies deep semantics argument" is not a good use of time for either of us, especially since I don't think our viewpoints are that far off.

If nothing else, I have learned more about HIV from this subthread than I expected, so there is that.

It’s standard practice on HN for someone (often the mods) to post links to previous threads on repeat posts, especially when the previous threads are substantial.

This is not shaming in any way, it’s indexing good stuff, making it easy for people to find more information. It’s helpful to know that the posts are repeated, and is not expected that someone would know this - after all, most people here are relatively new and probably always will be (assuming the user base is growing). On occasion it also helps avoid repeat debates. I personally use the links often and I appreciate it when people collect them.

From a practical perspective, for most everyone, "intending to send" and "on iCloud" is probably a 300ms delta in time.

Argentinian here, I built my house about 10 years ago with a fixed rate mortgage subsidized by the government. It was subsidized only for people that didn't own a house already. It was a 16 years mortgage. First year I paid about the same as someone renting a house. Past year I was paying about only 10 dollars per month, so I cancelled it :)

But yeah, as far as I know, at the moment there are no fixed rate mortgages.

How come volunteer fire departments exist?
> Is the Argentinian inflation being "fought" by any government program?

Nope, the government loves inflation, as it reduces its debts and they can print all the money they want to pay for that.
Politicians live in a different world than the average person, inflation is not an issue for them.
Tens of person-years of work is not as much investment as you are implying in the context of manned heavier-than-air flight. Boeing spends ten person-years on developing flight every 40 minutes on average. Since you wrote your comment 4 hours ago Boeing has spent about 60 person-years on developing flight.
Interesting that in a discussion of totalitarian regimes you would bring up the the "we are only wealthy because we steal wealth from the ground" thing. This whole idea was actually invented by Lenin in the 1920s to justify his totalitarian regime. There is no connection between it and reality, it was just propaganda to explain why Capitalism was still working and had not collapsed like Marx had predicted.

"Resources" exist in people's minds, not in the ground. Rocks and toxic sludge have no intrinsic value.
> Note that fairly generous costs for disposal have been collected from the whole industry. There's just a question of how we actually spend them to dispose stuff.

I'm not sure I trust that they calculated the cost of disposal properly. Because if the disposal cost was more than the revenue generated by the nuclear industry, the entire industry would have become unprofitable. The lobbyists and politicians would never have allowed the regulators to collect enough. Hence socializing the cost.

On the other hand, if we find that we aren't de-carbonizing fast enough, and the cost of global warming is far higher than the harm caused by the nuclear industry, then I think we have no choice but to increase our nuclear energy production. But I have serious doubts that our political system, our current political climate, and regulatory capture in the nuclear industry will allow that policy decision to be made in a competent manner. It's a conundrum.

Problem is current.
Also, there are some instances of the government building its own data centers. Raytheon used to own the computing infrastructure for basically the entire NRO, and had their own commercial cloud offering built on top of OpenStack they called "EVE" but it never ended up being used outside of this single client and has since been effectively abandoned going forward now that C2S exists using AWS in classified data centers run by Amazon. There is still a limited subset of NRO programs using something called the "AUE" or Agency Unique Equipment, however, which is another Raytheon contract called Palinode, and this serves applications with extremely specific hardware needs that Amazon can't currently meet, i.e. FPGAs, ASICs, non x86/ARM architectures, bare metal clusters with guaranteed not-shared Infiniband SANs, but it will probably one day go away when commercial cloud providers are eventually able to do that, too.

I think you should just avoid associating your project with open source or free software. It comes off bad when you see it's not really.

Just make the license free to use except for a saas. And you'll accomplish what you want without being misleading.

Their software quality has kinda been tanking over the past few years. Pretty much everything after Mojave has started to slide in the "please don't do this" direction (at least for me), and with Apple Silicon I really no longer have any need for a Mac.

I do get where the parent comment is coming from. Commodification of technology can only go so far, and Apple is walking down the same path IBM (or even Microsoft, for that matter) did to learn that lesson.

Fair enough. I realize the AGPL integration is a deal breaker. For point 3, true, which is why I could offer a proprietary license that does say you'd be 100% okay (although it still wouldn't work for point 1).

> It's not that simple: vaccination is more consistent at producing an immune response and it's stronger. The confound in both cases is that it wanes over time, so comparing someone who was vaccinated a year ago to someone who had COVID last month — or vice versa! — is telling you more about the elapsed time than anything else.

I encourage you to read the linked study, particularly the parts about the included cohorts. The recovered cohort didn't have any kind of stipulation that their infection was recent. The text does call out waning efficacy in the vaccines, but it does not mention the same for infection.

> It's much less risky than getting COVID even if you could organize the equivalent of a “pox party”.

Does this have something do with what I said?
Back in the LTO-5 days, there was an issue with MAXELL tapes. See https://sourceforge.net/p/bacula/mailman/message/36060578/

The gist is that HP heads were harder material than IBM heads and if you used alot of out-of-spec abrasive MAXELL tapes, especially always fresh ones, then on IBM drives, the drives would suffer from premature "pole tip recession" and could no longer read or write any tape. HP drives seemed less affected.

To find out what manufacturer made the tape, you had to insert the tape into a drive and read the MAM chip over SCSI/SAS. With tapes basically everyone did alot of rebadging, so if you got a "HP" tape it could be anything from MAXELL to Sony to Fujifilm. "IBM" tapes were usually Fujifilm, i.e. good to use everywhere.
I second that, RoR is worth it.

If you’re asking about math talent as in child prodigies, then one can browse previous winners of the math Olympiad.

But I have a feeling his success as a professional mathematician involves the interaction of such math talent with hard work and good mathematical taste.

Oh, and returning to this bit:

>> Imagine taking someone who is so passionate about UX that they made a career out of it, making them use their worst nightmare as their daily driver, and then giving them zero institutional power to fix any of it because of the n-dev years problem.

And if the UI they're designing sucks so humongously that these poor "passionate about U"I designer snowflakes can't even deign to use it... Then whose fault is that? Whom can they blame for this, if not -- the designers of the UI they're designing, i.e. themselves?

Assholes, that's what they are. (And what kind of person defends assholes?) Of fucking course it sucks, when the assholes who designed it don't even have to use it, so they'd get to suffer if it sucks. They're getting away with inflicting the suffering only on others, while they themselves avoid it. No wonder they don't give a shit!

This is precisely what "eating your own dogfood" (aka "dogfooding") is all about. Look it up.

We've had Masterclass for a bit over a year now. It's not deep, for sure, not going to replace any kind of study or exercise.

However, the production value is not only visually high, it is generally well done so I find myself watching something I might otherwise not be interested in. It's not like TED talks, which I often find too showy, too heavy on the presentation.

I think Masterclass is a good platform for this kind of thing: get experts to introduce people to watch something they otherwise wouldn't.
