Well it goes both ways. Young people are cocky and dismiss older peoples' experience as irrelevant, and more senior people think they've seen it all already and that there is nothing new that hasn't been around since 60s.

Neural networks are a good example. If you skipped the last decade (/two) and you think you know about ANN because you mastered them in 60s... boy do I have news for you. :) Another paradigm shift for me was React (declarative web frontend development), and let's not even go into the whole Rust thingthing

One of the biggest pitfalls of an experienced person can be lack of curiosity, and it is really easy to fall for it, because let's face it, most of the new things are crap and will be forgotten in a few years. However, there are nuggets to be found in the mud, one just needs to keep looking.
Literally anything. There is so much to do better. Faster I/O, kernel bypass and async filesystem, new persistent data-structures, alternative lock-free concurrency resolution schemes…

Disclaimer: I am highly biased, as I am funding/researching/developing a DBMS myself. Out of necessity though, as we constantly hit bottlenecks in the persistent I/O layer. We are not selling or offering anything, but will soon share some fresh internal results on aforementioned topics.

In the meantime, here is a list of startups re-implementing mostly identical ideas: https://unum.cloud/post/2021-12-31-dbms-startups/
I find it interesting that the mbp garnered so much attention from tech folk. Perf AVG, build eh. Ethos...terrible. yet still. Gets people in the door to buy it. Humans are wack.
The cost of a dead bookmark hanging around is virtually zero and nowhere near the overhead (and small but non-zero risk) of another extension.

Sometimes there is value in knowing that a site has gone under, versus you not being able to remember the URL.

One can fetch dead URLs via Wayback machine.

The chances of a site (or several) temporarily being unreachable out of all my bookmarks is very much non-zero and I could see this plugin trimming bookmarks unnecessarily.
Whatever the truth, this is a pretty unempathetic view of trauma. People don't wallow in it, some simply don't escape it.

How does encrypting user data preclude nefarious and anti-democratic purposes?

If disabling your login.gov account locks you out of you bank account, the ability to travel, your library account, your email account, your social media accounts, your school, your children's school, your mortgage, your ability to pay your rent and utilities, your ability to seek employment, vote...

When your life is consolidated to SSO, your life is controlled by those who control the SSO service. The fact that they encrypt your data doesn't change that reality.
This paper confirmed what I suspected for some time: exceptions are still the only basically-zero-overhead solution available, which ironically completely justifies their existence in usage patterns where exceptions are actually exceptional. There are times when writing/profiling Rust when I wish I had access to exceptions instead of `Result` propagation.

I do agree with the mentioned design issues though.

I think the distinction is the subjective perception that time has stretched out a thousand years. It's not that time has literally dilated, just that our "normal" perception of time has changed. Perceived time dilation occurs under certain drugs (to include those endogenous to the human body) and the OP thought has been something that has occurred to me (and others) as well. IIRC, the movie American Beauty suggests it in the last scenes.
Winter surfing taught me to tolerate the cold.

That movie endless summer has it backwards. Surfing almost everywhere is better in the winter. It's just that winter in Hawaii is pretty warm.

Where I live we surf in the great lakes in late winter, starting about now actually till end of April.

While you're in the water with a wetsuit, it's not too bad. Water can't get too far below 0ºC but the air temperatures are often way below freezing, and the windchill can be brutal, because lake surfing is dependent on wind.

Getting out of my 5mm wet-suit in a parking lot in February taught me what it really means to be cold.

Since then, conditions I would have thought of as cold are much more tolerable.

Now if I have to take out the trash in the winter and there's fresh clean snow on the ground, instead of wrestling with winter boots I just go barefoot.

The secret to not feeling cold is that when you're cold, just let yourself be cold through and through. Don't fight it.
Kierkegaard would beg to differ. :)
Few things are as permanent as a temporary government program.
there's a push both in Canada and here in the US to label these political undesirables as "domestic terrorists" as justification, because it makes sense to freeze the bank accounts of domestic terrorists. this is why they're trying to make a direct connection between the "January 6th Insurrection" and this incident, to portray both as connected instances of far-right-wing domestic terror/insurrectionism.
Damn, dude. If I nuked stuff on the file server I would have immediately gotten up and talked to my team/manager/whatever. I'd be anxious as hell but I'd still do it. If I actually got fired I'd think they are just a trash employer because there's no possible way someone should get fired for an innocent mistake (that never should have been possible anyways -- systemic failure on the employer's part). I know someone who accidentally published private docs to the open web, because they followed the known process for sharing docs with their team, and the process did not correctly identify how to verify/ensure the docs are internal-access-only. They nearly got in trouble, but I told them to adamantly communicate how they followed the official process using the official tools and there was no information about the security/privacy that indicated it wasn't private. There was no way for this person to have known any better, with what the employer had provided. It was even just weeks after some security/privacy training had taken place at the job, proving just how badly the employer failed to educate their staff.
Doesn't matter, all that matters is are they on "your side" or not. Had the USA froze assets of BLM and BLM-associated groups during 2020 the "democratically elected" wouldn't have stopped people complaining.
I’ll add the critical component of making something and watching others try to use it. My imagination is always getting pushed to imagine the ways people will use/misuse/misunderstand/repurpose something I’ve built!
> So far, whether or not they are right that it would work, they seem to be largely unsuccessful in lobbying, with the US, especially, offering only limited sanctions for the actions related to the separatist regions but holding back the massive general sanctions threatened in case of a broader invasion as a reactive contingency.

Well, a couple hours later and this part is outdated, as the US has now announced the first set of general sanctions on Russia and described existing Russian actions as the beginning of the invasion that was always described as the triggering condition for such sanctions.
Isn't this supposed to be a strength of framework? Their machines are pretty modular. Users should get to pick and choose AMD vs Intel, keyboard layouts, wifi chipsets without framework having to design different machines for each configuration.
I would never self-host email based on what I saw during the portion of my career as a web hosting Linux sysadmin. At one point I half-seriously offered to pay for Gmail for Business for all our customers out of my paycheck.

Email is THE crucial link in the internet identity chain. It NEEDS to both work always AND be secure. Two things that frequently weren't the case in web hosting.

Well, frankly the best way to do it would be, you guessed it, socioeconomic status, primarily wealth and income.

Same thing, proportional representation, but based on social classes.

However, how do you do that and how do you prevent it from being gamed? Are universities allowed to ask for paychecks going 10 years back? Asset lists? ZIP codes for where the family lived in the last 10 years? Proof that you've been on the dole?
Steam is a real value add, enough that I use it for non-steam games.

Not only with proton or the controller db, but save-game sync, multiplayer invites, their server browser, and everything being tied to my login.

Even managing my game library on steam is pleasant! And the social features they have are.. actually pretty useful. Having a friends list of people who I game with is nice, as is the ability to have low friction conversations.
I replaced „the news“ with hacker news. Much better.
You do realize that this is, in fact, very similar to what the people who stumped for "just letting us have bike lanes" have progressed to advocating, right? Totally car-free roads, roads that technically are car-usable but have been rigged so that they won't support normal traffic, various pushes to force (or "nudge" or "encourage") people to ride bikes or take mass transit instead of driving... etc.

And they even helped with convenient tax credits for taking their preferred modes of transportation! (spending tax dollars)
With dual engine airframes, the usual engine test approach is to just bolt the test engine nacelle to a pylon that juts out from the side of the main fuselage.

It looks absurd, but doesn't compromise the main propulsion and apparently works.

I was with you after watching the Maher video, but Dore is operating on false assumptions. Vaccine passports won't "track wherever you go for the rest of your life". Getting vaccinated doesn't "only protect you". Stopped watching after barely 30 seconds.
Do you know if she's using her computer for anything financial related or just plain sending emails?

Depending on your own schedule, I would set her passwords for anything serious for her, like banking, and when she needs to login to those websites, you can remote in via teamviewer or what not and login for her, or tell her the password over the phone. You'd be essentially a human password manager, but this would allow you to help her with anything serious and important without consequences and also you would know her information in an emergency without jumping through hoops.
Hey, this looks really cool, nice work!
"Staying up to date" could mean hourly updates or weekly (or monthly) newspapers.

How often are those priorities changing? Surely nobody needs hourly pings from a news app on their phone to inform what they care about influencing in the world.
Uninhabitable environments have stopped humans so far. We do not inhabit any environment even close to Mars-level hostile for any duration, or at scale. Antarctica has gravity, atmosphere, water, protection from radiation, and a workable way to transport supplies. The ISS supports a handful of people for short rotations, and is within reach of resupply from Earth. We don’t have colonies under the ocean, where there’s gravity, radiation shielding, food, water, oxygen, transportation. We don’t have colonies on the moon or anywhere else that informs us we can sustain colonies on Mars.

We don’t have the technology to “harvest” elements from space, or to tow asteroids around. Mars is lacking nitrogen, which plants need to grow, and in any case we aren’t close to “terraforming” Mars, we can’t do that on our own hospitable planet.

The payload capacity of the SpaceX Starship, if that’s what you refer to, is 150 tons, not a million, and that’s to low earth orbit, where it requires multiple refuelings to plausibly get to Mars one-way. Rocket fuel is heavy. 150 tons is not sufficient for the large amounts of equipment we need on Earth for mining operations, nor will the equipment we use now for mining, agriculture, construction fit into any spaceship we have. The “logistics” of the Starship collapse under scrutiny. See the Common Sense Skeptic videos on YouTube for hours of thoughtful analysis.

We don’t have the technology to move the required mass to Mars now. We don’t have the technology to extract raw elements from space, or asteroids, or the Martian surface. We don’t have the technology to give Mars a magnetosphere (it doesn’t have one), much less a breathable atmosphere. We don’t have the technology to keep humans alive and healthy in 0.4 Earth gravity. We can’t get birds to lay eggs in space, or plants to grow at scale, or any of that stuff that just gets waved away as if all of the sci-fi tech exists because we saw it in movies. The SpaceX Mars plans are artist’s renderings, not working technology.

All of this may happen in the distant future, with better propulsion systems, factories in orbit to avoid the Earth gravity well problem getting lots of mass into space, asteroid mining, terraforming, etc. But today and for the foreseeable future Mars is inhospitable and not a viable destination for human colonies, not even a hard-scrabble existence.
It's up to you to decide where the "cursor" is on the "cloud agnostic spectrum".

As an example, let's say you can deploy your app as containers orchestrated with SystemD on an Amazon EC2 instance. Switching providers will require you to rewrite your whole deployment procedure but not the containerized application code. Your application is cloud agnostic, but not your deployment pipeline.

Now, let's say instead, you have an Helm chart to deploy to k8s, you can move from Google GKE, to Azure AKS, to Amazon EKS, to baremetal k8s, without modifying your Helm chart. Your package is cloud agnostic, but not your infrastructure.

If your application requires a PostgreSQL database, you can provide it with Amazon RDS, or by self-hosting it with KubeDB in a k8s cluster, or any other solutions. To your application, it would be changing the `DATABASE_URL` environment variable and running a migration script from the old DB to the new one. There is no true lock-in in that specific case.

In other words:

- yes, using Kubernetes can facilitate the deployment of your app on your infra in a "cloud agnostic" way
- no, using Kubernetes does not mean your whole infra is "cloud agnostic"
- it's ok if parts of your infra is not "cloud agnostic", that does not mean you're "vendor locked"
1. Canada's terrorism financing and anti-money laundering laws are very clear and very strict. The fact that they chose platforms that are not reporting to FINTRAC is suspect, and the leaked donor lists show roughly half of all donations were foreign.

2. The weapons themselves were not the problem. Gas canisters stockpiled unsafely near parliament is a huge concern. And weapons found in Coutts were directly linked to a credible threat of an attack on RCMP members (high-capacity magazines are extremely illegal).

3. The Emergencies Act is subject to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It is written into the Act itself. The Charter, which continues to be supreme to the Emergency Act, forbids retroactive punishment.

4. See above. This is not a charity or nonprofit. It is a criminal organization that is under investigation.

Global COBOL Growth Spurs Reevaluation of ‘Legacy’ Assets
Yep. Monero is explicitly designed to remain CPU mineable, so that theoretically it remains more decentralized and mined by individuals rather than an industrial complex like bitcoin and ethereum have become.

Counterintuitively, I think this also makes it more susceptible to nation state attacks, since you can easily deputize fleets of existing CPUs to 51% attack the network, whereas no nation state on the planet can easily get enough sha256 ASIC miners to attack bitcoin, not even accounting for the enormous electricity requirements to sustain a destructive attack.

Then again, the consolidation of bitcoin mining as an industry is also a systemic risk compared to millions of individuals in the network mining. Tradeoffs.
Whatever you want it to be. By default of the compiler will generate calls to move and copy constructors.
In the various leaks earlier, we already learned this is a heavily bottled "community". We should really not look at numbers so easily faked, and not let such actors so easily dictate our news.
> "if you got nothing to hide you got nothing to fear" mantra.

I know people like this and it's not a good mantra to follow. I have to remind them that all that needs to happen is to have political winds go the other direction and soon something they do regularly becomes illegal or suspicious. So dumb to give up privacy for safety.
> they were just complaining about lack of English schools in general...

I'm still not sure what he was complaining about. French in general it seemed.
> When you validated your identity in person with CBP, this was not that.

This isn't snarking at you directly, just all I'm really hearing is that the government will happily mix whatever it knows about me for its own purposes but when it comes to making things easier for me (wherein they've literally seen me in person and looked over a stack of my identifying documents), no way that's "violating my privacy."

If we are going to have an all-seeing panopticon can't it at least be convenient?
Dunno, I can log into Steam and still download and play any game I've ever bought with all sorts of features like global controller configuration and syncing saves between my desktop and laptop.

What's the better way?
I expect we're less than five years away from seeing everyone's Stadia purchases evaporate.
Sure, but that in itself is also not an argument. The space of programming languages in general is moving forward and languages keep adding more (usually higher-level) features. C++ is mostly trying to keep up.
I consider myself to be indefinitely pre-founder, naturally.
I heard that APNGs used to work, but then people just uploaded their APNGs instead of using emotes, and using emotes from different servers is the main selling point of Dicord's freemium "nitro" AFAIK...

Another reason could be that Discord caches images on its servers to hide viewer's IP from the original server hosting the image. The caching involves compression that sometimes breaks the image.
I agree and am wondering for my own edification:

What _would_ make a pattern? Is it possible to make any negative predictions without falling into the Slippery Slope?
That's simply not true. Many Russians are swallowing uncritically whatever Putin says. I've personally met on my Elbrus expedition in cca 2016 quite a few in our team (russian agency, I never go with western ones when mountaineering), who seemed otherwise smart, but praised him uncritically like some saint. I couldn't listen to it whenever we switched otherwise normal topics to this.

Not everybody gets their news from internet. And those young folks were from Moscow / St Peterburg and used internet like everybody else.

> are against the idea of Slavs fighting Slavs

Bullshit, army men do what they are told. In 1968 Soviet, mostly russian army invaded Czechoslovakia. Soldiers had no qualms with shooting to ie teenage girls riding across the street on their bicycle, harmless as one can be. Hundreds of cases like this, nobody was armed or posed any threat. Nobody was ever punished, there are tons of memorials across whole country(ies).

There is a lot of wishful thinking in your statement, and I hope its meant in optimistic way. I wish there was really this fabled slavic friendliness since I am also one of those, but I see it more a nice myth which works mostly on language grounds, and falls apart as quickly as problems arise, see ie Yugoslavia.
> a lot of gas gets used for heating - nuclear isn't useful there.

Erm, no, that's just not true. Ironically, the best counter to that is... Russia, which successfully supplies a few million with extremely cheap hot water.

Your bank will freeze your account if they detect suspicious activity. Your credit card agreement likely has a provision to allow them to freeze your bank account for non-payment.

The underlying question is whether or not a financial crime is actually happening. The idea of a decentralized protest having some random "leaders" in-trusted with donations is in need of scrutiny. It doesn't matter if it's this or BLM. Where is this money coming from and who is it going to?

I wonder if part of it is horribly cheap flash storage used in smart TVs, after a bunch of update cycles, telemetry upload/downloads, etc. etc. I wouldn't be surprised if the flash chips might be wearing out and take longer to read/write to.

That or the TV companies are intentionally making previous TVs slower with updates they know old TVs can't run with any modicum of speed.

An interesting thought, but in my mind it also raises the question of the meaning behind a sequence of memories that you don't remember remembering, there's simply no reason to assume it happened at all since without memories there is no other evidence of the event.

I really like the premise, and I really agree with it, but I don't think a SaaS is a solution, the solution is trying to find better abstractions that makes things simple and easier for the developers, using code, and without limiting their flexibility, but that's the hardest thing to do!

As an experienced software developer who used to learn a new framework every week, I thought ML was going to be piece of cake. In reality, I went down this rabbit hole 4 years ago, and I'm still in there, I was so innocent back then

"Modern C++ bad" is such a weird HN meme, fortunately it's not an opinion I see a lot elsewhere. Old C++ was awful, the new stuff makes it actually usable.

Personally I like how even in embedded code where you don't want to include the standard library, you can still efficiently use language constructs like constexpr, lambdas, etc.
