Good to know. I'm looking at buying half a dozen label printers for work and this news made me cross DYMO off the list immediately.
IIRC one theory is that parental wealth may be a confounding variable. Roughly speaking, if you grow up in a poor household, you're more likely to face unpredictable situations, including situations in which promises cannot be kept (e.g. due to unexpected financial shocks). So, if you're offered a marshmallow now or two later, you'll rationally (based on past experience) go for the sure thing.

I don't remember whether I read this in relation to the original study, or a follow-up. But it sounds more plausible than the original explanation.

I'd really like to see one of the popular influencers disrupt the review industry by coming up with a way to bring back high quality technical analysis. I'd love to see what the cost of revenue looks like in the review industry. I'm guessing in-depth technical analysis does really bad in the cost of revenue department vs shallow articles with a bunch of ads and affiliate links.

I think the current industry players have tunnel vision and are too focused on their balance sheets. Things like reputation, trust, and goodwill are crucial to their businesses, but no one is getting a bonus for something that doesn't directly translate into revenue, so those things get ignored. That kind of short sighted thinking has left the whole industry vulnerable to up and coming influencers who have more incentive to care about things like reputation and brand loyalty.

I've been watching LTT with a fair bit of interest to see if they can come up with a winning formula. The biggest problem is that in-depth technical analysis isn't exciting. I remember reading something many years ago, maybe from JonnyGuru, where the person was explaining how most visitors read the intro and conclusion of an article and barely anyone reads the actual review.

Basically you need someone with a long term vision who understands the value you get from in-depth technical analysis and doesn't care if the cost of it looks bad on the balance sheet. Just consider it the cost of revenue for creating content and selling merchandise.

The most interesting thing with LTT is that I think they've got the pieces to make it work. They could put the most relevant / interesting parts of a review on YouTube and skew it towards the entertainment side of things. Videos with in-depth technical analysis could be very formulaic to increase predictability and reduce production costs and could be monetized directly on FloatPlane.

That way they build their own credibility for their shallow / entertaining videos without boring the core audience, but they can get some cost recovery and monetization from people that are willing to pay for in-depth technical analysis.

I also think it could make sense as bait to get bought out. If they start cutting into the traditional review industry someone might come along and offer to buy them as a defensive move. I wonder if Linus could resist the temptation of a large buyout offer. I think that would instantly torpedo their brand, but you never know.
I mean, just on the physical front one is not able to do things they used to and require more medical attention. That brings with it financial costs, dealing with broken systems, etc.

And the two vendors I tested as faster than Apple are precisely the two vendors OP found to be reliable, so my findings still stand.
Quote: "Then I manually yanked the cable. Boom, data gone."

He never said what cable he yanked. If he did it to internal one that goes from PSU to the drive then that's a very niche test, not relevant. But if he did it to the one from wall socket to the PC then yeah, then that's a good test.

Regarding this, first of all Raymond Chen warned us more than a decade ago that vendors lie all the time about their hardware capabilities. He had one test with exactly this on flushing, where the HDD driver (written by the manufacturer of course) was always returning S_OK, regardless of whatever. Do note that this was in a time when HDD's were common, not SSD's.

Secondly, I always buy a PSU that is more than double in power for the system. If, let's say, the system has a 500W requirement, my PSU for that system will be at least 1200W. This will definitely have big capacitors to keep your system alive 2 seconds after the power goes off. Those 2 seconds might seem small to us, but the drives, as much as lying assholes as they are to OS, will still correctly flush pending data. Never experienced data loss going this route.
No. The authority is for the Dutch consumer market. Hence why the US-based Match Group was able to bring this complaint in the first place.

It depends where you live. In Japan, QR codes are used by the majority. In Los Angeles, half the restaurants you go to serve their menus via QR code. In the Netherlands, online payments are frequently completed using iDeal, which lets you scan a QR code with your phone instead of manually inputting payment details.
I think the main reason they did not expose lower level semantics is that the wanted a drop in replacement for hdds. The second is liability: unfettered access ti arbitrary location erases (and writes) can let you kill (wear out) a flash device in a really short time.
Ah, so The Martin Agency was not the entity he called "an outside agency" which "pitched us a bunch of standard super bowl ad ideas" in the second tweet of the thread?

My guess, which may be a tad speculative, is that there is an ongoing, but previously-confidential, dispute between Coinbase and the agency over whether and how much the former owes the latter for the work they did.
Are you kidding? It’s prime time TV in France.

Languages which spell “phonetically” have to reform their spelling from time to time (and agree on whose pronunciation is authoritative) else the language ends up with the same issues as English and French. TANSTAAFL.

Personally I find the conservative spelling of English and French easier when reading as they often encode meaning which is stripped from “reformed” spelling such as German.

I hate email-based authorization. It is an extra step and requires access to a working email. Sure 95% of the time I get that email in a second and then it is only a window switch, copy/click, delete and switch back (maybe paste). But 5% of the time it is even worse and the email gets marked spam, or greylisted for 15min.

Password authentication is literally just clicking "Login" because my password-manager fills in the field. In this happy path it is also unphishable whereas the email-based example provided here is trivial to phish.

The main problem with password login is the "bad" users who haven't bothered to set up a password manager or prefer to use their dog's name as their password on every site. It really sucks that a great workflow is being punished just because some users are irresponsible.

Honestly I'm excited that we are getting 2FA pretty mainstream but honestly I think passwords are a going to be a good long-term solution. The main differences will be:

1. The browser will generate all your passwords. The UX to pick your own password will be awkward.

2. You won't give your password to the site (or server) but it will be exchanged via a PAKE.

> that is why many in germany oppose it

Hm... why? Because the Germans, out of goodness of their hearts, want the Russians to keep dumping the annual $1.5bil+ transit fees into Ukraine? It's the same exact dependency on the same exact gas, just delivered through a bunch of countries each grabbing a cut, instead of directly.
Work filters may trigger on phrases, so it's not like someone would see it walking by, but it might be flagged for review. If the page flagged is some thread on HN nobody cares, but maybe if it isn't ...

A few of my friends wanted a maths-y daily puzzle game like wordle (in the sense that its new each day and you can share the result) so I made this one. If you've ever watched the UK game show countdown this game will feel very familiar to you. Please check it out at https://numble.wtf/ (or go straight to the instructions page https://numble.wtf//instructions) and let me know if you have any feedback!

The challenges are randomly generated and the same for everyone, with a new one each day. I ran each challenge through a solver upon generation and filtered out all the ones that were unsolvable - so (hopefully) every challenge should be solvable.

Everyone seems to have their own definition of data race! The article uses the one from the Rustonomicon, and by that definition, the Python example does appear to have a data race.

I think "the problem with LTT" is that, as time goes on, they've slid off the purely informational stuff and into the whatever-gets-the-most-clicks stuff. I don't mind a little bit of humor or personality (Digital Foundry is great in that regard), but when Linus started uploading videos that defended his use of click-baity thumbnails and the bribes he received from Nvidia/Intel, his credibility fell off a cliff for me. If you're not going to stand for the objective truth, why even bother reviewing hardware? I'd imagine that pressure is what pushed them to invest in this lab, but even then I have a hard time trusting them.

Linus is welcome to chase whatever niche market he wants, but as a "purely informational source" he's got a pretty marred track record these days.
fucking brilliant
I'm the writer, and I can relate with your opinion on whether the cost/benefit is there. From the responses, it appears many wonder this as well.

The biggest benefit I can imagine where the cost is outweighed, is when AR is used to reduce downtime of huge output facilities. If using AR could save an organization even just 10 minutes of downtime in a year, depending on their output, it could likely be worth the investment.

Time will tell how it greatly it gets adopted. We sure as hell are betting on the fact that it does. And now seems like a good time in the adoption curve to place that bet.

My understanding (based off a French accounting class from many many years ago) is that VAT also can be deducted for things like factory equipment or, say, desks for your office workers. It's not purely a "if it's for resale you don't pay sales tax" thing, but a "if this is used for business then you can get a deduction for your VAT" (with some exceptions).

I would not really describe VAT as an income tax. It's not a tax on an income, it's a tax on the value add. Income tax means something specific, and perhaps VAT is one degree away from that, but money is fungible! On a long enough time scale everything is inheritence tax and income tax I guess!

EDIT: rereading my original post at the start of this thread I now feel a bit silly saying the explanation is "VAT-like". Metaphors and similes are bad!
Incentive to stay may or may not be a good thing, especially in the context of a retail job. A stock plan can also be removed just as easily. Last, publicly traded companies have well defined definitions of profit, which negates most if not all of the Hollywood accounting issues, where a movie might have 20 legal definitions of profit.
This one actually almost works, especially since you can shut down via software (and Apple has almost removed the power button anyway).

I’m pretty happy we kept a ton of “dead” keys as they offer a flurry of options for more modifiers and shortcuts. The same way most people probably only use one of the Shift key, one of the Cmd key, etc. but it would be a shame to remove them. I’d see Num lock under the same light.

I went with Apple’s “international” layout just to have more keys to map.

Yeah, I'm well aware that markdown didn't happen in a vacuum and was inspired by plain text formatting conventions. But there is only that much you can cover in an already too long blog post. It wouldn't have changed my argument much either. It wouldn't be historically accurate to say that Markdown existed before Gruber/Swartz, like it wouldn't be accurate to say that HTML existed before Tim-Berners Lee, even though SGML and such was a thing.

I'm not arguing for a more proprietary binary word processor format either. Or that we should type JSON. It's actually possible to have decent WYSIWYG editors that does their job. And they won't get better if don't put our minds to them.

The point you're missing in this reply is the legitime user-unfriendly experience of markdown and the challenges it poses for developers who are trying to solve things for their teams and customers today.
with this much money at stake, absolutely nothing, including courts, will present a balanced and evidence based view of things. EVER.

It's an unachievable idea.

Maybe, if someone is being viciously attacked by both sides, then maybe, just maybe ~10%, or so, of what they say is unbiased, but it's still hard to disentangle that apart from the wrong/incorrect/biased other things they said.
Two quick examples would be the left party consider the secret mass surveillance by government entities to be wrong on multiple levels and is continuously criticising the government for it. Another would be that the same group of parties consider the government being too slow to implement carbon taxation and other measures to prevent further damages due to climate change.

What I find fascinating about this sort of research is that it implies the possibility of finding familiar looking life on other planets; rather than the fanciful and deeply alien artistic renderings of hypothetical extraterrestrial life we're usually shown in science shows, we might be better off expecting to see things that look a lot like eels, snakes, crabs, and spiders.

And, of course, things that look like fungi and bacteria.

Isn’t any major crisis “interesting to hackers” too? HN seems more appropriate for coverage of related cyber warfare. HN posters would probably find better articles on this than what you’d see on general-interest sites.

Samsung has a hardware testing lab where all new storage products (SSDs/memory cards) are rigorously put to (automated) tests through a ridiculous number of reads, writes and power scenarios. The numbers are then averaged out and dialed down a bit to provide some buffer and finally advertised on the models. I'm not surprised that they maintain data integrity. They also own their entire stack (software and hardware) so there is less scope for a untested OEM bug to slip through.
Yeah, but he’s completely skipping over the fact that you’re going to lose some of the readability of short SQL statements switching to an ORM with methods, types/classes, functions, etc., but you can gain in maintainability of code.

I've seen an internal Java-based web application (a digitization of some business processes involving what used to be paper forms) in which nested elements in a web page corresponded with subclasses in Java. Way high up in the hierarchy, it had `HTML`, `CSS`, and `JavaScript` classes, each of which eventually descended from a `Document` class.

It was impossible to properly trace any behavior through. Every method zigged and zagged through the inheritance hierarchy multiple times as you traced deeper. And so:

The sentiment is taken well, but it's just not true. Credit your fellow engineers for the positive experience, not any particular language.
Journals are used to protect filesystem metadata. The ZIL is used only to protect data.

You will not see any data corruption on ZFS as long as the underlying hardware implements REQ_PREFLUSH correctly and the software uses proper POSIX semantics. If no filesystem corruption is happening, then the stuff under ZFS is doing its job correctly and your problem is in userspace.

Following a crash, ZFS returns to a past good state. Any completed synchronous writes or writes protected by a completed fsync will be there. Any of those that did not complete can be expected to be lost (unless it was moments away from returning to userspace) and any non-synchronous IO that occurred in the last several seconds is allowed to disappear.

By default, non-sync IO is flushed to permanent storage every 5 seconds. A past good state is not something that I would call corruption and software is expected to be able to resume from the past under POSIX.
