She gets annoyed at repetition. She'll react to things you do in the room. Responses differ based on prior conversation and some sort of internal mood implementation.

It's a breathtaking amount of work, but it's the very best NPC conversation I've seen.
In the embedded world where there are a lot of C compilers, it's not so much the language you keep in your head but the compiler implementation of the language.

I'm in the process of moving an old codebase from a compiler with a very loose adherence to an old specification to an ARM chip that is using GCC for the compiler. Enabling -Wall to catch all issues that the compiler highlighted, 16-bit ints to 32-bit ints, and quite a few ternary operator issues.

None of these were issues on a system that's been running in production for many years but porting to a new architecture will mean there’s a lot of extra testing to be done just to make sure we catch all the edge cases in the code.

I like the C language and have been using it for close to 30 years now. The main part of the language can be kept in your head but there is so much more to working with it than just the base language.
Exactly. This industry is highly regulated and the unions help write the laws and regulations. Because of that it's mostly large players and very, very few small ones. The large ones all have agreements with the unions because at their scale it's impossible not to, and to get that agreement they have to agree to only hire union.

Also a lot of the materials producers that supplied us were union, and many of them didn't want to provide services to a non-union shop. I don't know if they had any formal policies against it (probably they didn't) but anytime we called or places orders, etc we were a super low priority for them.
For what it's worth, energy prices in kentucky have us paying on average 9 cents per kilowatt. That gets you within striking distance of an order of magnitude. It's a significant savings either way.

The level of trust justified by pretty much all of security research; the insider risk is by far the biggest security risk for most organizations, whether you are talking about physical loss or infosec.
> People lie in anonymous polls about their voting intent.

Political scientists have had to develop a separate category, along with methods to identify its members, in order to capture actual "swing voters", for related reasons. Lots of folks like to classify themselves as "centrist" or "independent" or "on the fence" or what have you, while in fact voting party line every single time just as reliably as someone who self-identifies as being highly partisan. Actual swing voters are a tiny minority of the people who identify as such (which is why "get out the vote" is, not-so-secretly, far more important than courting those voters—lots of seemingly odd behavior by politicians makes way more sense when this is factored in)

Bad political reporting (which is lots of political reporting) won't bother to make the distinction, which results in misleading coverage, graphs, et c.

I enjoyed this game!

My strategy was simple: Scan the boundaries of the area of cells stemming from the top-left corner cell which are of the same color, and attempt to determine which of the other colors has the highest number of unique cells which have at least one edge in common* with that region.

* There's room for optimization here.

Is there a better strategy?

Here's my score.

Using the Diffie-Helman would be good practice, but it's not enough to assume a defence against a malevolent actor who controls the client. It's not about the key exchange itself.

Essentially, a determined malevolent actor who controls the client could exfiltrate your keys easily. Maybe it's intentionally introducing a subtle vulnerability and then exploiting it server-side[0], or it's just simply doing a file upload of the keys. Basically, you can't be certain there isn't a backdoor from a malevolent actor.

[0] IIRC, there was some vulnerability in the Linux Kernel a few years ago that was basically there due to an errant space. Some people theorized that this could have actually been intentionally introduced by sophisticated actors, to hide in plain-sight open source code.

Sadly I no longer know my friends phone numbers, since the advent of smart phones. But I still know the phone numbers of anyone I regularly dialed as a child, 30 years ago.

Sounds like you didn't do enough research. I am using a CalDigit TS3+ with 2x4K and 1x1080p external displays on a M1 Macbook Pro to write this comment. It is not difficult at all to do and took less than five minutes of searching for me to find the guides and instruction videos when I decided to upgrade my Macbook to Apple Silicon.
You're doing static analysis on a dynamic situation. The biggest issue with overcapacity is the start of compression waves of traffic, which are generated much sooner by tailgaters slamming on their brakes in a panic with each following vehicle having to brake harder than the one in front, eventually coming to a complete stop (or just causing an accident).
I know Russian and Bulgarian (non-native in both, but enough to be able to easily read books or watch movies spoken in them).

This seems enough to allow me to understand effortlessly the examples that I see for both InterSlavic and Slovio.

However I would need to study them more in detail, to form an opinion about which is better.

At least they achieve the goal of easy understanding for someone familiar with Slavic languages.

Lithium Ion batteries don't like being completely full or completely empty. They're happiest somewhere in the middle.

Teslas allow you to set the max charge %. The interface has changed over the years but it's more or less a slider allowing you to set the max charge %. In it's latest incarnation you can do 1% increments, in the past it was less granular.

When you plug the car in, an interface appears on the main display allowing you to adjust the % as well as charge rate and some other things. You can also adjust the settings from the App on your phone.

Typically you'd set it to X% and forget about it until you were planning a road trip then you might crank it up to 100% either the night before or while sitting at a supercharger.

Another reason rotation is bad is because it put undo burden on the user. You're now combining the unneeded burden of password rotation with the unneeded burden of a randomly generated password for a user to remember.

Of course, by remember, I mean put in a .txt file somewhere.

Sure. The easy money growth phase of cloud will slow or stop. People laugh at my mainframe example upthread, but no Data Processing Executive saw 1992 coming in 1988.

Most of the people making $500k comp at AWS, MS, GCP will all get nuked once the growth and investment phase slows down. You’re already seeing it happen at the margins - you don’t see “Uber for Litter Box” startups in 2022.

I’ve seen this happen with internal enterprise services as well. When you’re growing 50-500% a year, all of your sins and fuckups are hidden in the growth. Once dust settles and you shift to steady state, you suddenly care about cost accounting vs growth.

I’ve always been really curious about how other developers visualize our system. I know that we tend to use architecture diagrams as a common language for major components, but I don’t see the system in boxes and ovals, each of the components are very different.
Sometimes they become characters, with personalities, quirks, and flaws. Sometimes they’re looming and intimidating, sometimes they seem childish. When I’m onboarding to a new codebase, the better I get to know these characters, the better I know the system.
I think it's up to Ukrainians to say if it's offensive to them (probably).

Is it wrong? I don't know, is it wrong to call the Sun cold, or the Universe small? Maybe not. Googling "russian ukraine" will not result with articles about Ukraine, it will result with news about the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Can you point to some respectable sources that use the term "Russian Ukraine"?

You also have subcontractors that you can farm stuff out to or help when volume surges. I think the “of one” is likely not always true.
Apple has always been the more stringent about remote work, in terms of maintaining secrecy by keeping its workers on-premises, so this is the least surprising move.

No. The problem with first-party end-to-end encryption is that the entity whose customer you are not just providing the pipe for unknown encrypted traffic, but are also providing the encryption software, and can therefore subvert the encryption software (in order to report the key, or other similar actions) if they decide to act maliciously, or are compelled to by any third party (most likely government). If the software is third-party, then the service provider cannot breach the encryption in any way, or provide any assistance in doing so: the third-party software provider will be the party to attack/require to insert a back door, which in this age will generally be a fair bit harder, though it’s far from inviolable.

>With ads, buying your way out is impossible

I disagree. It's just not in its final form yet. But take a peek:

Hulu: 6.99 with ads, 12.99 without

Youtube: Free with ads, 11.99 without (or bundled with another google paid service, like Fi)

HBO: 9.99 with ads, 14.99 without

---

It's coming - if you have money to throw at the problem, you can already buy your way out of a lot of advertising.

If you have time and a bit of technical savvy - setting up a pihole or ublock origin incurs costs on time, but also remove ads.

At least with ads the cost is fairly clear, and it's definite. With mining... it's mostly malicious and will consume as much CPU as it can. That actually taxes me more for having a nice CPU.
I would not use the term "unlimited" but, depending upon the nature of the work, it can be perfectly reasonable to have a subscription without an explicit cap. When I was an industry analyst at a very small firm we worked on that basis (with adders for certain discrete projects--consulting days, posting rights for research, etc.). It was never a problem. Frankly, getting big companies to get their acts together enough to actually do inquiries and things like that so they got value from us was a bigger issue than them being a constant time suck.
Ok nice, can we have a sane way to add a caption to a table or a figure now?
I've been in data analysis for a few years -- grew from scientific research in SAS with zero VCS, into programming and data analysis in R and STATA, still no VCS for a while...eventually I was allowed to use Github after I left my restrictive hospital research space. No one ever sat me down and trained me on Git, though. I just heard repeatedly: if you're not using Git, you're missing out on a huge set of important software-creation tools, you shouldn't be coding without VCS.

Why did this happen? Imagine it's this data analysts' first year out of school, something like a crappy statistics program that only teaches SAS or base-R with no VCS. This young padawan needs to practice analysis in preparation for a work project. They grab some data and stash it in a folder where Git is tracking. They do their analysis practice, it's Friday afternoon, they get lazy, they don't look at what they're committing, and they click buttons in the GUI without much thought.

It's incompetence and laziness, not malice. These tools that allow us to share widely, not just GH but also social media broadly: these tools have great power that should be used with greater training, responsibility, and care.
Two things on that:

1) that was somewhat my point: so-called liberal democracies are increasingly censoring and distributing information. Exactly the Orwellian-dystopia many of us fear.

2) If we are talking about the Czech and Slovak examples posted the other day¹ I doubt the Czech authorities, if correctly reported (they seem like extra-ordinary over-reach to me, so much so that I wondered if they were Russian psyops to make the EU look undemocratic and authoritarian), have a legal leg to stand on. The laws seem to refer to war-time. It's part of an attempt to threaten people to shut up or else. I was tempted to see this as a flare-up of anti-democratic thinking from a state long run by a Stalinist political class and only recently (2004) acceded to the EU. Like Poland and Hungary there remain serious questions about the commitment to democratic principles of such states. But then I checked myself and noted that this was unfair as the EU has issued no formal condemnation of this censorship and the public appetite for being spoon fed by their betters seems high.

To be clear: Russia is committing a war crime in invading Ukraine and must withdraw. We must support the Ukranian people without allowing the authoritarians in our own societies to destroy the very values we claim to uphold. No censorship.

I took one of Alex Wellerstein's classes, he's a very interesting guy. Very fun and laid back while sill being really instructive. It always makes me chuckle to see Nukemap get posted, I think this is like the four or fifth time I've seen it on HN. Crazy that he made the site in 2004 and people are still getting so much mileage out of it.
It explicitly says "for most values of x", i.e. it assumes x to be initialized (but doesn't show so in the code).
They can always rate limit by taking a day or two to respond to each email or revision request. That creates a limit of perhaps 20 interactions a month.

Blue Oak Council, a gaggle of savvy open licensing lawyers, published a model permissive software license: https://blueoakcouncil.org/license/1.0.0

Average Low (°C) || Record Low (°C)
| Dec | Jan | Feb | Mar || Dec | Jan | Feb | Mar
Oslo | -3.9 | -4.7 | -4.7 | -2.1 || -19.7 | -20.5 | -20.7 | -16.9
Toronto | -3.1 | -6.7 | -5.6 | -1.9 || -30.0 | -32.8 | -31.7 | -26.7

The winter in Oslo starts earlier and lasts longer... but isn't as extreme as Toronto's winter.

The record low for Feb in Oslo (1991 - 2020 data) is -5.3°F. That's an average winter night for me. https://www.aos.wisc.edu/~sco/clim-history/stations/msn/msn-...

Another way of looking at this... heating degree days.

https://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weatherall-print.php3?s=... vs https://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weatherall-print.php3?s=...

Oslo has 6286.8 heating degree days. Toronto, Ontario has 7342.8.

Toronto is substantially colder than Oslo (edit...) when it comes to the extremes of weather.

(edit: correction) - Oslo's is https://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weatherall.php3?s=88410&...

which has the heating degree days as 7787.8 which is now comparable to Toronto.
