It's crazy that someone sat on the footage for 21 years and it just got made public now. Makes you wonder what else other footage or details are out there that has yet to be shared online.
I wonder how any of the big four are still in business, they've been caught in so many scandals so many times it's mind boggling. It's time they went the way of Arthur Andersen.
My 2 cents, if somehow github can, throttling the Russian ip may be good.

1. It still provide access to citizens

2. Those with vpn can still access it unthrottled

3. It makes the news and set precedent

4. Nobody should underestimate how angry a programmer with a slow connection will be

EDIT: with recent censorship from Russia, it's a tricky situation if github show some "invasion" notice there. Either Russia block github themselves or they irritated because they can't do anything.
Both! For context, we're currently using https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss as a task queue on top of postgres and it works great. No need to complicate things with Redis. I believe it's quite straightforward to implement a task queue on top of postgres using the SKIP LOCKED functionality.
I'm so long on hn now I get more the feeling that I'm seeing less and less really new things.

Doesn't mean it's bad it's just less interesting than it was 5 years ago.

Another startup idea from a person who just want to have a startup/unicorn.

Another hack.

Another blog article about security deep dive.

Another retro post of someone doing something like running win95 somewhere or doom running on a pregnancy test.

There are articles which I accept that I will read them but understood the basics very fast but I will not retain all those details because either you would need to learn them like you do with vocabulary or something else long lasting.

So I have to accept that it becomes casual reading

It absolutely does, though probably not by the big brands at gas stations or convenience stores.
Perhaps a way for the US to make unattributable attacks tho.

You mean rebranding to Accenture?
It looks like a plant in my opinion, which doesn't mean it is necessarily a plant but it means that its appearance is like a plant. I don't see any inaccuracies in the description.

Of course if someone thinks that doesn't look like a plant but crystal or an animal, they are fre to describe it as "crystal-like" or "animal-like".

Its alright bo be impressed with its looks I guess, noone is going to make a salad of it, so it is not dangerous to think that it looks like a plant.
AI aside, hacking into the driver’s build process to inject hidden backdoors into the drivers could be a realist attack.

People in the US in 1950 were aware on some level that they were the richest society in the world. Many of them were probably aware they were the richest society in human history. They were five years into a boom that lasted well into the 70s. I kind of doubt there was widespread worry about being able to afford to support a family. The historical record doesn’t show much evidence of it. The Baby Boom kind of militates against that idea too.

As for the average US household consumption it’s marginally lower than in the city state of Hong Kong with its much smaller households, and almost $10,000 a year higher than Switzerland, the number three. The US is the richest society in human history, as has been true since it’s consistent parts were British colonies.
Nice! Thanks for the context, super helpful.

Yes, I am putting this on the roadmap! :)
I used to end up working in the middle of the night as it combined this feeling of exhaustion and solitude. I can't really do it anymore for multiple reasons, but I try to at least get the solitude or physical tiredness through exercise.

I've noticed lately that "not being interrupted" is good, but "knowing deep in your soul that you can't be interupted" is better.

I think Cal Newport or someone was where I originally saw this idea spelled out, and it made a lot of sense of routines that I'd adopted subconciously and allowed me to plan them more explicitly.

I'm currently looking for a way to automate the pause of all incoming comms until the end of a pomodoro period.
I assume you are talking about a less obscure app like Live, Bitwig, or FL Studio, but in case not: I vaguely remember a 90s Windows application (possibly shareware) that had a 3D pre-rendered UI with keys shown on screen that looked like a payphone's keypad. You could assign beatmatched loops and hits to any key and toggle or trigger them in a synchronized manner (either with the mouse of the physical keyboard). I had loads of fun as a kid recreating Music Instructor's archetypal/self-aware cliché dance song "Hymn" with it.

Do you or anyone else know which software I'm talking about?
I am very curious to know why you guys are forgetting std::to_string. It is available since c++11. This and then str.c_ctr() should make the trick in most cases.

I've tried it and also asked my mother to draw something, and it's really cool and fun! This could be incredibly useful in the animation industry mostly because of the automatic rigging, placing the bones of the character onto the correct location!

>polite and rational conversation would have been a much better bet rather than calling me names

Parent's comment was a gentle poke in response to what was frankly an offensive and inflammatory statement on your part. You brought up some seriously sore points for millions of people and somehow managed to not acknowledge the human aspect of it at all.

In one sentence, you mention an (admittedly fictional, but also completely realistic) example of a man who in one future sees his sick son die because he couldn't afford the treatment, and in another sees his son make a full recovery after Scrooge has a change of heart. In the next, you say it's "unclear" why someone doing similar work to Cratchit should receive a (mandated) higher wage.

In spite of this, the worst name that anybody has called you in this entire thread is "Ebenezer".

If you want a specific argument as to why you shouldn't pursue this idea, without mentioning works of fiction:
- Chronic poverty is a horrific experience, and if you needlessly inflict it on tens of millions of people eventually they'll get angry and chop off your head with a guillotine.

If you want to see what an unrestrained, impolite response to your comment looks like, walk into a country pub on a Saturday night and share it with the blokes there.

Is it so hard to have just one portion of wall with a neutral color in one's home office setup?

I work in different part of my home, but I dedicate one small space for video calls, where I stand, not sit. It is designed to provide a plain background. If I didn't have a wall at my disposal I would have installed a white ikea roller window blind on the ceiling. It is much more effective than any blurring/background replacement algorithm.

You choose to work from home, you choose to welcome work in your home. The good thing is you still have the liberty to limit and design the small part of the home you are welcoming your coworker's in.
As a Mac user, Windows 2000 was the first good non-Apple OS to use as a daily driver. I then ran a PC and a Mac side by side for several years, until OS X finally got into the groove.
Well I don't see what part of my post disagrees with that. You don't need to lack manners or be unconstructive to offer critical or adversarial input. negativity without merit is hostility with extra steps. That said, if negative comments lack substance, I think it should be easy to call them out and discredit them.
More importantly there are no RISCV "reserved for kernel use" registers that can be trashed at any time - the mips register convention leaves 2 of the 31 registers for the kernel to use in exceptions (including TLB misses).

To do this for RISCV you would have to build build special compilers and kernels
> Why would you think that? Because the peasants are all too stupid to notice an earthquake that damage their houses?

Yes, exactly. I also don’t expect dense residential buildings prone to earthquakes to be prevalent in low density sparsely populated agricultural areas.

There is nothing “fascinating” except that stating facts about rural areas immediately brings out the worst kinds of trolls out of the woodwork.

Haha, unfortunately. Too many people riding the gravy train...

Whatabout: I see your point, and as stated I'm not in favor of the current situation. My point is I can see similarities to wars started by the US/west - and I believe lots of outrage come from people who supported those efforts. Either I'm missing something (thus the implied question "What's the significant difference?") or I guess it's hypocrisy?

(1) according to Russia (Russian perspective) I'm pretty sure the US
(or for that matter Ukraine) is harboring terrorists as well. Now, I'm not fully knowledgeable about all the details in Afghanistan, and sure, the Talibans doesn't seem to be optimal (but neither does the Ukrainian leadership/political situation - it's one of the most corrupt country in Europe?), but aren't there a lot of similarities? What are the significant differences that justified killing (directly or indirectly) many tens of thousands and messing up a country for 20 years, that still makes it valid to have outrage for the current situation? I'm genuinely curious!

(2) I think the other comment put it best. Bush and co lied about the situation (there being WMDs). And is it OK now if Putin regrets his invasion 2028?

PS You do have a good point about there probably being more outrage if there was an intervention!
"Whataboutism" has long been used as a term for "how dare you not focus on the thing I'm outraged about by telling me that something I supported/condoned/was quiet about was pretty much the same thing. Traitor. Now repeat my narrative or be persecuted!"
Where I live PwC is mostly a bodyshop that employs a disproportionate amount of fresh graduates and junior engineers.

Their business model is to hire those people and claim they are way more experienced than they are. Afterward, they lease them to some client for 6-12 months.

I find their business model incredibly annoying, but the thing that actually worries me is that many of those clients are public agencies, regional governments, etc.

Virtually all citizens are forced to consume the crap built by PwC and their competitors.
Hindu sages used Brahmi, Saffron and Rosemary. There is a whole school of thought on it called Ayurveda in Hinduism.
I guess this is a war where Putin must not lose. Either he'll die/killed afterwards or there'll be huge meme influx that Putin lose to a comedian, destroying his image.

I can't help but wonder if this means we can drill our own private hot springs wherever we want...
When it comes to security and SQL in general I think stored procedures are underappreciated. Bring back the DBA roll and make procedures for everything. Then you don't even have to build that API-layer. SQL is your API. And for things like password hashes, there doesn't even have to be a user that can read the hash-column, let a stored procedure compare them for you and there's no risk of leaking password hashes (unless the whole server gets compromised of course).
Not everywhere.

I remember intense descriptions of the death camps in primary school books (pictures of a bulldozer moving a pile of corps, detailed descriptions of murdering etc) but about war it always focused on the terror of the civilians (rape, killings, famine, becoming refugees), not the terror of the soldiers: flame throwers, the endless waiting, the fear of killing someone innocent, ambush, mine fields etc.

I think a whole lot of people think of war through the lens of the Battlefield series and CSGO where there is Valhalla style mechanic where you go out to fight every day, get slain and become alive to feast in the evening before starting the cycle anew next morning. Also there are no stench, no terrorized faces om
of friends or enemy fighters etc.

Real war is brutal on a whole different level than games.

Note: I'm not saying we shouldn't teach the horrors civilians face, just that I think people have extremely unrealistic views of what war is like. If anyone is in doubt: stay out of wars if you can avoid. And a very effective way is to 1.) train for war so you become a scary target 2.) don't start a war.

Why not cut off Russia from the internet and any form of tech really? That would send them into a free fall, wouldn't it? Some people immediately bring up China, but those who know history, know very well that China is Russia's frenemy at best.

I'm just speculating here, but what if say Microsoft sent a Russia-wide update that wipes all data and kills Windows?

Definitely a new angle, but it’s also strange after so many years to find good footage like this. The random extra stuff at the end make it feel very genuinely “found an old miniDV tape with some footage of forgotten about.”

But it’s also just really weird to hear people talking so clearly the moment after it happens. It’s preserved a slightly surreal moment of shock quite well.
It suggests the CDC is incorrect in it's mandate, according to YouTube anything points to the CDC being in error is misinformation. That's been the rule for a couple years now.
I'd like to throw in a contrarian opinion to the general HN crowd (and my sibling comments), putting my social credit points on the line...

For reference, I'm a Sweden-born-raised ethnic Swedish white male, I know that's relevant to a few people so I'd just like to throw that into the mix as well.

In Pakistan for example, people in general do not drink alcohol. The same goes for most of north africa. It's basically unheard of and stigmatized that people would go for a beer in a western-common fashion. Saudi Arabia and even UAE obviously varies a bit but the same stigma definitely applies. (I have extensive experience from these societies but feel free to challenge my claims)

Sure, hasheesh exists, but it's not socially accepted and it's not at all as widespread as alcohol consumption in the west. It's definitely something a young professional will avoid for career reasons, for example.

I really feel that a lot of the cultural differences and conflicts have a common ground somewhere, and a more or less common problem definition, but the solution varies.

For example, much (but not all) of western society is against total bans. It's basically stigmatized to believe in such a thing with a few exceptions.

Far and middle eastern societes are not as negative against it though - I guess there are historical reasons for this - and as such the sets of acceptable solutions to problems differ from the western ones.

For the record I would also like to mention some assumptions I've heard in Sweden that simply arent true but are quite understandable given the mentioned difference in mentality.

Human, if I had a dime every time I heard "adultery exists in the exact same amount in north african and middle eastern countries as in the west", "sure they might not have alcohol but they have other drugs - it's simply a matter of swapping one vice for another", and other absurdities.

So one example of a fundamentally shared understanding of a problem is the danger of alcohol and drugs. Western ideology leans more to allowing but educating, Eastern ideologies lean more towards bans.

The idea of women commonly being treated badly by men and taken advantage of is also definitely shared. I dont think anyone really thinks that for example gangster rap or other popular cultures are really portraying women and men as having equal value, and certainly not pornography which more or less amounts to showing the male dominance and humiliating the woman as much as possible, swedish surveys showed that a staggering amount of women in sweden have been subjected to sexual violence, including spitting and hitting, and other surveys show that this even exists in high school ages!

West wants to educate away the problem, which is why we have sexual education in preschool, even for toddlers, in Sweden, to give sensible ideas to people at an early age, but virtually noone talks about banning pornography or denigrating depictions of women because in the west, we dont do bans.

.. and Eastern ideologies lean towards an honor and relative based structure and security net.

My point is that we perhaps aren't so different from eachother after all.

Just my two cents.
> We don't live in grass yurts you know. Bridges and dams are a thing. Earthquakes are a problem. Deep fracking operations have demonstrated this already.

What percentage of rural areas are situated in close proximity to large dams and bridges?
I used to read Treehugger regularly, until a couple of years ago when they deleted their RSS feed. I'd forgotten the site existed until just now.

the further abhorrent practice is also of hiring immigrants who have the need for h1bs straight out of college, giving them disproportionately worse #hours, and having stringent artificial processes and timelines that delays their visa processing to the green card stage - all of which is still guaranteed employee retention due to the need of the immigrant employee per US laws to stay unemployed in the US for no longer than 60 days, else face deportation. it's modern day exploitation, if not servitude.
> I don't think Windows 95 looks that good (compared to today).

Not doubt about it, the Windows 95 UI was never pretty, but I also don't believe that's why people like it... well, hate it less perhaps.

As someone how got started with Windows 95, looking back at my options over the past 25 years, functionally Windows 95 was less terrible than some of the current options. Sure, macOS is pretty (and I do prefer that UI), but the Windows 95 UI was simpler, it had to be.

Part of the issue, as I see it, is that we added more and more stuff to desktops as years has past us by, but how many of those features do I really use? There's absolutely nothing that I do my laptop today, that I couldn't do using a Windows 95 UI. On top of being much simpler, the Windows 95 UI is also consistent, much more so than any current alternatives.

Finally, Windows 95 has useful hints all over, allowing you to actually learn how to effectively use the UI. Microsoft had to add these hints, because when it was release no one knew who to use their new interface. It's very clear that talented UX people where involved, most likely the last project ever to care about good UX, everything is downhill from 95.

Bundle all that together, simplicity, ease of use and consistency, that's why people still care about the Windows 95 UI. It's not pretty, it was never pretty, but it is incredibly well designed, it has just taken some of us 20 year to come to that realization.

Why is it impossible?

I tried to calculate how many molecules of water can fit into a sphere with radius of 500nm and I got 17 billions. Doesn't look like a big number for modern hardware.

And if modeling billions of atoms is impossible, cannot we model separate reactions? Put several virtual proteins and RNAs near each other and see how they interact?
System 7 added depth to things like title bars, and then there were extensions like Greg’s Buttons that went all in for apps that used the default controls. With system 7, finder icons went seriously 3D because it was finally allowed to have multiple icons for different color depths. The use of color or even grey was one place where System 4.2-6 had fallen behind Windows 3.0, even though the graphics hardware was more advanced.

Yes, this captures the essence of what I'm saying.

I would just add for clarity that I don't think that it's "wrong" for us to elevate life that's more like us, and so I don't think it's "wrong" for animal rights activists to behave in the way that you're describing. I only take issue with justifying that behavior by pointing to specific biological features, when to me, it feels closer to the truth to say that we behave this way because it feels right, and it feels right because of something inherent to the human experience. I believe this is an important distinction because it helps us realize that human experience is context-dependent, and so our sense of morality will be, too. (E.g. one could argue that it's less moral to eat meat now than it was 500 years ago.)
