Right, religious fanatics don't really exist, it's just rhetoric. You can confirm this by noticing how they never really blow themselves up. All the temples from african religions that are burned or destroyed every year in my country is just a made up thing, since the fanatical christians who burn them don't really do it, I'm just falling for their rhetoric. I don't know how it is going in other countries, but religious fanatics have held positions of power here, quite a few times.
20% seems massive to me. Then again maybe that is true for artists...

What it would mean that every 5th person you meet don't consider that they belong to either group. Or every 4th in groups you perceive...

Also this leads to question, how many will just refuse to answer just so they can get themselves to this 20% as it clearly would support them?
Its not a case of not being able to remember the passwords if an AI is the only entity that knows them's. Technicality of law.

As for people going to prison I know how fascist the UK state can be, I've had it all my life since primary school and they go on about the Uighurs in China! LOL. Reminds me of the IRA petrol bombs and the Ukrainian Petrol bombs going on today.

I've had court request letters telling me to go to the wrong courts in the hope they can convict me of speeding in my absence, if I wasnt aware of court procedures which isnt my day job.

I'm well aware you dont run a country by being nice.
Like all of the evidence presented for WMDs in Iraq?
RT is Russia's state news agency. I don't think it's a great primary source for interesting information. Regardless of the nature of this article, it's a gateway to some prolific propaganda.

If you'd like to encourage a healthy debate on the subject, I'd recommend a different source.
We have calculators open on our machine label computers. Those computers don't have a keyboard only a touch screen. Without the keypad these computers could not use the windows calculator. That said this is an unusual use case.
I know people that worked for the company that inspired Columbia Internet (which was located on Columbia Street in New Westminster and indeed I also worked at the company they became (unrelated to the ISP stuff) for while.

There are a Mike that was on the team I was and suspect it's the same guy as 'Myke'. The person hosting ufies.org is a friend and former colleague from the same company as well.

It is! I’m not very happy with it and would love to change it — I’m just fortunate to have a primary workstation with an absurd amount of RAM.
The part about built-in speakers is interesting. How often would you be connecting/disconnecting them? Seems like the kind of thing you'd connect once and be done with it.
The comment count is sad; the reposting of links from HN instead of breaking new stuff is sad; the lack of the unique editorial voice of the Slashdot OG crew is sad.

There is literally no reason to visit Slashdot anymore other than inertia. You will not find anything new or interesting. There will be no insightful commentary beneath an article. There will never be a new meme that originates from the comment section.

It's somewhat similar to finding out that DeLorean was making his living by selling DeLorean-branded watches or whatever.
It seems to be almost word-for-word the same as this article in Turkish, though I don't know which is the original.

All that's missing from the English one is the final paragraph explaining the EU sanctions.

https://poderygloria.net/misirda-bir-aeroflot-a321neoyu-geri...
"The real reason is Russia united with Europe would enable a true Eurasian competitor to the USA to arise." -- this is plainly ridiculous.

Russia was not able to join the EU at the time due to its oligarchy and systemic corruption, very weak democratic institutions, lack of understanding and enforcement of some basic human rights. It was clearly incompatible with the EU values and has actually severely degraded in that regard since then.

Geopolitics is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
but books has been available for a long time - wouldn't this have made a difference?
I started my journey on DOS. I'd put more hours into probably five or six other desktop operating systems, plus Android on mobile, than I had anything from Apple, before I finally gave OS X a real shot (around 2011) and, a couple years later, after developing for both Android and iOS but being and Android user, switched to iOS for my personal devices.

I assure you, I'm not being "tricked", and I could name a bunch of shitty things about Apple software off the top of my head. They're not the best because they're perfect, it's just that everyone else is extremely bad so they look great by comparison.
Also Canada where I'm at - but yes.
TSMC Executive Says Chip Shortage to Last Several More Years
An interesting point from the history of GOG is that it originated from a market where piracy was the norm, Noclip has a great documentary about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffngZOB1U2A
Personally idgaf, it's not my company and it's on them to provide the necessary QA resources. It's a dying field however due to MBA style management only cutting costs and never investing in technical long term sustainability.
You're cherry-picking negative responses from the wikipedia article, as opposed to the following:

> The IAEA/WHO have often sought to justify their dismissal of eastern European epidemiological studies by citing questionable scientific practices: but epidemiology is not an exact science, and the same shortcomings exist in western studies uncriticised by the IAEA. The IAEA also point to shortcomings with pre-Chernobyl Soviet cancer registries, but cancer registries in western countries had similar issues at that time.

Indeed, where is the criticism for the IEAE and WHO applying a very selective "conservativism" about epidemiological research, much like big tobacco and DuPont? They're the reason nuke fanboys make risible claims like "< 100 people died because of Chernobyl" and don't get laughed out of the room.

Pointing out that the author was affiliated with Greenpeace without noting the systemic bias of nuclear organizations against epidimiological data is questionable.
Poor tech, understaffing: inside the private company surveilling US immigrants
If you're of limited means, you could get around 13k off your Model 3 in California as of last year, courtesy of the tax payer. Then don't discount the hype, cool millenials and Gen Z in particular are not about driving, but when they do they prefer a Tesla. I think a BEV was a lot easier to bootstrap because with 0 infrastructure you could at least make trips around town, but that doesn't mean that it's going to work at planet scale (at least not with current battery tech).
Service economies tend to grow out of and get strength from related industrial activities. They can go on for quite a while once those industrial activities are gone from a certain era, but after a while the countries and regions that took over those industrial activities grow to want in on a piece of the services action too.

I think one of the biggest mistakes the West made in thinking about globalization are the beliefs that:
1. You could completely decouple the service and industrial economies and it would gone on working forever.
2. In doing so, the developing countries that took over those industries would be happing eating the scrapes of Western nations and never have an ambition to enter into related service activities.

It's no coincidence that the country with the largest economy in Europe happens to have a vibrant manufacturing base. And in the U.S., while it plays a much smaller role and employs significantly fewer people than in the past, the manufacturing base is still quite large.
There are large portions of Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania where the mother tongue is Russian. Some folks over 45 may not even speak the local language, and may not need to. Most of the younger people would be bilingual (or more commonly tri), though.

Lots of people in Moldova speak Russian bilingual too. Russian is commonly spoken in Kazakhstan - even Russian courses in the universities.

Overall for many Russian is a decent choice to have a produce localized to or search for information in general. Like in your case - compare it to Estonian where the native speakers are fewer than 1.5 million (even, when you include all age groups) - a lot smaller market, harder to localize due to lack of translators, etc.
How would going nuclear help compete against renewable-powered industry in much sunnier places than the UK?

Europe's industrial growth was based on fossil fuels. In a post fossil age, it's not a great place for industry.
I would personally prefer having an exercise bike plugged into the grid.

You could literally pedal bitcoins. ;)
I'm curious what we'll call this one. Afterburner sounds cool.
Apparently some old P2 vaccine was kept around after it was supposed to be disposed of nationwide and inadvertently administered.
In XP, when doing some repetitive stuff which meant moving in and out of a number of windows, I noticed (saw with my own eyes) there were times I hadnt actually clicked on the window close button in the top right of the window but the mouse pointer just fell short of the close button and yet it still closed the windows.

If you use Linux, you'll see how twitchy the mouse pointer is compared to windows.
I would personally recommend The Princeton Companion to Mathematics as an excellent introduction to mathematics from someone no pursuing a degree.

I read it more as "made explicit" rather than "explained"
We're mid-way through building a V2 of the scorecard. This "Senior - Weak" grading model isn't working, since everyone has different ideas of what a senior engineer is.

Instead, we're going to just expose raw data about somebody's code submission, and let you decide what those numbers mean.

Some examples:

1. 7/10 unit tests passed

2. GET:/api/v1/vehicle/{id} OOM'd out at 1.5M records in the DB

3. Linter returned 10 warnings, 0 errors

4. Cyclomatic complexity counter returned max of 24

5. 5 new commits, shortest commit message 3 chars, longest commit message 45 chars
You keep on referring to it as a british defeat, but it was a joint effort between britian and France :). Iirc, the US didn't need to crash the british economy, they simply threatened to devalue the pound, denounced the invasion publicly, then the europeans called a ceasefire (unilaterally? I'm not sure).

At no point in either the french nor the british military operations do you see either tactical defeats or supply issues.
Also, I think they were talking about freight trains, not passenger trains. Is rail freight powered by electric locomotives anywhere in the world?
I should say his penultimate minus one book, DE&LA is from 2014 and I think he has published a couple more since then. Linear Algebra and its Applications is his 1988 book.
Somewhat off topic, but I can't seem to find a reliable answer elsewhere.

If the USA is a net exporter (or close) why are our prices so sensitive to the open market price? Yes, I understand some of our oil comes from there. But isn't that offset by what we sell there?

I understand The Atlantic's theories. But these don't explain how / why we have so much exposure in the first place. We have our own supply, yes?
Why not seL4 then?

“skeuomorphism” isn’t even a real UX concept; it’s just been carefully designed to look like one.
Hard disagree. That comment isn't contributing to dialog, even of the heated variety. It's hatred for the sake of hatred, and I don't think there's a place for it.

I'm happy to debate with earnest people I disagree with. That's interesting, and done well, we can both learn from it. There's no value in repulsiveness for the sake of repulsiveness. I don't expect a forum mod to be on top of every single comment ever made, but when things like what I linked are reported but stay up, the moderators are saying, yeah, we're fine with spending server resources to host that.
Except for when tensions are this high where that blame could be a lot less casual than other times.
The difference is DRM is a technical-only measure in most countries. The services employing DRM are scumbags, but they're welcome to try it.

That doesn't mean that ridiculous positions such as trying to legally forbid access to a website other than through a handful of sanctioned browsers is going to fly.
Why is it remarkable that it's private? Most infrastructure is private. Railroads, ports, many airports, many roads, gas pipelines, power lines (and power), water, trash collection, telco infrastructure and on and on and on.
Alfred has a pretty good calculator for Mac that acts like the Google calculator without the need for internet connection.
"Estimating Flight Characteristics of Anomalous Unidentified Aerial Vehicles"

"Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) partially identified as being unknown anomalous aircraft, referred to as Unidentified Anomalous Vehicles (UAVs) or Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs)"

Are you referring to the use of a commonly accepted initialism, 'UAV', as them 'begging the question'? Otherwise, it took about 33% of the paper for them to use the word "vehicles".

Don't be that guy.
This is just sickening, they even line up terminal cancer children in Z formation https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-war-what-does-the-z-symbo...
No, I repeated the position of organizations like the AHA, not read a couple studies and made up my own mind.
> This is not only untrue, it is the opposite of true. Centralized power sources mean you can build generation facility close to places with energy demand (usually population centers). People keep touting decentralized grids as some sort of advantage over centralized grids. It's the complete opposite. A decentralized grid needs more transmission infrastructure to connect large areas often far away from where energy is actually consumed. Renewable projects are often blocked because transmission infrastructure can't support them.

This all seems backwards. Decentralized power generation means building the power sources where there is energy demand. Centralized power generation means building them somewhere and needing to use the grid to send the power everywhere else. Centralized power generation usually means large power plants generating power for entire cities, usually built a long way from those cities due to economics, logistics or pollution concern. Decentralized power generation usually means solar or wind farms built near enough to the population centers that residents protest against the perceived eyesore. Decentralized power generation in some cases means no grid at all in the cases dealing with remote locations (often served with diesel generators, the traditional decentralized power generation tech). Renewables change this somewhat, as you do need a grid connecting it all to deal with intermittent power generation, but it is the same capacity as needed to transmit the same power from some centralized power source 250km away.
A while back there was an article here from someone who moderated their social media use by throttling the connection speed for facebook - with the site getting slower the more time you spent browsing.

At the time I read that article, my achilles heel was Instagram. The Instagram mobile site has most of the content I care about but a pretty poor experience on a mobile browser. I can still get messages and see the things I care about. I can't use it for more than a few minutes without getting frustrated. Stories barely work, you can only watch 4 or 5 before the video player hangs up. Honestly it's perfect, and the discussion here on HN helped me realize that a degraded experience was a better experience for social media. Using the mobile site helped me turn a bad habit into a healthy one.

I use the same strategy for Twitter but their mobile browser experience is better. Twitter can still be habit-forming without the app.
Plan A – Princeton Study of a Possible Nuclear War Between the USA and Russia
All of that more likely than not was retconned and mainly by bored westerners on the internet.

It was chosen because its easy to paint, recognize and you won’t confuse it with markings normally used by either side.

Z is and boxed Z is only used by the forces which invaded eastern Ukraine and from Crimea, airborne, marines and the forces from Belarus use different recognition stripes.

If anything the west made a story about it which allowed Russian propaganda to turn it into a thing.

If more people would covered the fact that the Russian army is so poor that it needs to rely on recognition stripes instead of modern IFF it might not have become a nationalist symbol in Russia.
This is not so correct and greatly over generalized. If this were true HVAC install companies would not be started because they depend on the manufacturers. Another example is the automotive supply chain Companies. If you meant don’t start a business that dependent on a single business that’s probably a better way to put it.
Engineering management skills are very, very hard to evaluate. From what I'm aware of, you can get a general idea of someone's competence as an engineering manager by seeing how their engineers perform under them vs under someone else. For example, if a team is doing so-so, then a new EM comes in, and a few months later the same team is now suddenly all rockstar devs, this is a sign of a good EM.

Also, the best engineers aren't necessarily the best engineering managers. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle.

We don't believe tech management interviews should at all be automated. You really want these to be as qualitative and human-driven as possible.
Fair comment, but in the UK we've screwed up nuclear for generations. Our old Magnoz reactors have a century long decommissioning period, and even in the 1960s were more expensive than coal. More modern reactors may differ, but Magnox set up the arguments for anti-nuclear advocates.

More recently, we (stupidly) accepted an abominable price for energy from Hinckley C, and indemnified the operators (including EDF if memory serves) against the cost of decommissioning.

There's evidently a good way to do nuclear, but Britain doesn't do it. We are inept, so our ROI is lower than yours. It is a great shame.

I've has good luck pushing these into holes in 3d printed parts with a soldering iron the past.
Not related to this technical note, but I was surprised to learn that the rsync service has scheduled downtime, like for hours at a time.

Is it possible to make your service highly available? Seems that is table stakes for other cloud storage services today.
How long has that crack been there?

Maybe someone thought it'd be funny to make up a legend about a spirit captured in a rock in order to troll people hundreds of years in the future.
In between the acceptance of electronic intelligence and the dawn of everything being computer based, spooks spent a lot of time inventing ways to get this kind of info from dumb sensor data.

At one point MI5 could apparently lift crypto keys from the noise of the cipher machine through a wall. Obviously being MI5 this was to spy on the French and not the Russians, but still.
Start with self-examination.

Why are you so bothered about Putin invading Ukraine?

Where was the outrage, protesting and flag-waving when Israel is invading Palestine and shooting little kids daily? And America is bombing Yemen, Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan etc on a daily basis?

Don't get me wrong, it's all bad. But the general persons apathy and ignorance and ability to be manipulated by the media is just as bad as any actions Putin is taking.
> something the restaurant has forbid me to do according to their rules.

Except they're not their rules. My computer, my rules.

I really wish you'd chosen to respond to my technical question instead, though.
Fixation? A million deaths in the US alone? Perhaps 10s of millions of hospitalizations, and widespread long term illness and suffering? What else could it fixate on?

Nice bait.
That’s super impressive. I didn’t expect a compiler setting change to make up the difference between Chrome and Safari.

Has anyone experimented with even more aggressive compiler options? Targeting specific chips or using fat LTO?

I wonder if any of Apple’s former lead was due to them being able to target specific computers.

I’ll have to download Chrome again and see if the power usage is up to par with Safari.
This is a really good point, thanks for bringing it up, @dang has already helped us update the HN post title, and we've made that copy change on our website as well! From now on, our messaging will be "coding interviews", not "technical interviews". That is, until we start supporting all the other technical specialties ;)
Does anyone remember REvil arrest anymore?

Self interest explains some behavior, but it's hardly a complete explanation. It's clearly possible to maintain support based on religious, social, ideological, or national pride issues, even if your supporters suffer negative economic or safety consequences.
I still don't understand why you can't see the "@s" from a Twitter accounts page.

It feels like you're shouting into the void unless you're Twitter famous. Why should I have to get a second job growing an online fanbase just to not get screwed over?
I don't know how much hiring you've done, but in my experience, everything you're asking for does not correlate to hiring quality employees. If you're hiring a senior role, there should be demonstrated experience in these areas you can discuss in a 30 minute interview. If they don't have that experience already and need a take home case study to demonstrate it, then they aren't fit for a senior role. Even junior candidates should be assessed by ML portfolio work and taught the rest.

Your job as an interviewer isn't to come up with questions that aren't too easy or grade homework assignments. It's to assess a candidate's experience and ability to do the role you're interviewing for. Making a grind interview means you'll drive away the best candidates that have options and find your process disrespectful of their time and experience.
China just finished a 3.6GW pumped storage "battery" in Fengning - delivering more power than most nuclear plants.
what does traveling in a straight line have to do with acceleration?
Non-proliferation treaties were a thing until the US decided not to play ball in the 90s. It is entirely feasible to conceive of nuclear containment via treaties, and indeed the world was headed in this direction after the cold war.

It doesn't help that any nuclear plant can make a "dirty bomb" btw, which is one more reason to be anti-nuclear. No nukes, no nuke weapons. Not a bad tradeoff all by itself. (And yes, such bans can be enforced, look no further than Iran's difficulty getting nuclear power going).
buf is a pointer to a pipe_buffer array, this whole function wreaks yes, but i don't think this is a simple "initialization would have fixed" bug

buf = &pipe->bufs[i_head & p_mask];

i think it is a problem with merging and needing to reset the flags, but i didn't want to waste too much time really trying to find the root issue and wtf merging is/why do it.
