> You're nervous

Emotion-management is the key challenge here. Fear is the mind-killer which reduces your working memory. Your listening process was OOM-killed.

Specific suggestions:

1. Repeat the question back for the benefit of the audience.

2. Pause Believe in your right to claim time for yourself. If you're worried people are impatient, you can allay that worry by saying something like "Hmmm... Thank you. That is a GOOD question."

3. Say "I don't have the answer right now. That sounds worth looking into though...". Possibly follow it up with "I've also been curious about..." to take them on a journey with you.

4. Say "I had not prioritized that. Hmmm....".

You might think these all risk the possibility that you'll sound like you don't know what you are talking about. That is true--people being judgemental is indeed a risk. Ultimately the deeper solution here is to find a form of coaching to help you build courage.
You take a very extreme, all or nothing stance. The rest of us make trade offs.
Given the context, it also might be a sarcastic illustration of people's misunderstanding of ADHD as a sporadic condition instead of a neurological disorder.
I think this is the correct answer. It will be simpler and more straightforward from a legal perspective too, since it can be argued that any driver would do the same - they would try to protect themselves first, if for no other reason than the fact that humans simply don't have the ability to evaluate situations that quickly and play through a trolley problem in their head while the car is heading for a collision - you instinctively do whatever action feels right to protect yourself. So I think self driving systems will be coded with that imperative as well - protect occupants first and foremost, and they won't be calculating the "worth" of whatever or whoever they are about to hit. The extent of damage calculation will end at "there is one occupant in the driver seat, so the damage to them will be lower if I hit the obstacle with the passanger side of the car", but it won't actually know or care what the "obstacle" is.
This is been going on a lot longer than 2017
I did a bunch of research when all of this first came out with the intention of moving off Ubiquiti and found nothing worthwhile. I'm in the same boat, no interest in the time/money investment to roll my own solution. Aside from one UDM Pro software update that enabled a schedule to disable my WiFi out of the blue, I haven't had any issues with my stuff. So I continue on with them.
I suspect everyone just performs better on amphetamines adhd or not. This was basically what erdos argued too iirc.

I’ve been curious about it since I’ve never tried it but many people I know have. I’d be curious how much better I would be able to focus/think with it.
Ugh. My EdgeRouter and APs have been nice, but between the increasing cloud BS and now a SLAPP suit, they've lost my business for good.

No. My internal network infrastructure should NEVER depend on someone else's computer, ever.
I used Firefox for 19 years without interruption until last summer when I switched off of it. Its reader view was one of its best features. It works on more pages than competing browser's reading modes. While they removed most of the features that I had grown to love over the past two decades, another standout for me was the ability to have multiple picture in picture instances running.
first i've heard about hyperthermic, although i have anecdotally heard about benefits of increased humidity. any good links for readup on hyperthermic?
MicroTik have good wireless APs (and other devices).
Yep. Someone must have discovered the bevel and emboss function in Photoshop again.
I agree that we definitely need some harsh policy enacted to enshrine transact-ability as an inalienable right.

I personally see cryptocurrency as something akin to second amendment rights. You hold and support it as a citizen's check and balance to make government abuse of people harder to implement.

Sad no Linux.
Virginia has an anti-SLAPP statue but this is a federal suit, and the Fourth Circuit hasn’t ruled on whether state anti-SLAPP statutes apply to federal cases.
This! except I (slightly redesigned and) built a common z80 setup, no comparison for knowledge gained from this single effort.

There's a USENIX article from a year or two ago about the "Biscuit" research OS, which was written in golang.

There were clear compromises & performance degradations related to using a GC'ed language, but it definitely was interesting enough that you hope for more.

I wish all common operating systems supported labels/tagging in a compatible, easy-to-migrate manner...so that a person could migrate from windows to linux or back again, and all their file meta data - like file labels, file tags! - was preserved.

Because you can return classes from a function.
How is what you are spouting off about communism vs capitalism related to my comment "everyone answers to someone". That comment works for capitalism, socialism, communism ... every system.
For anyone who has been involved with web UI design and development since the 1990's this is a throwback.
pfSense doesn’t require much time for a basic setup. Stick with defaults, roll out some Ruckus Unleashed APs, and you are done.
> Citation for this? As far as I know IQ isn’t a measure of intelligence (because intelligence is hard to define, let alone come up with a single number that quantifies it!)

All you have to do is get a figure that mostly correlates fairly well to most of the phenomena we might consider intelligence, and it works well enough for many purposes, even if it's not measuring any of those others.
Surely a more accurate answer would be "Cray's bookshelf".
the standard reference for this is ree and earles 1992.

every other method of selection, e.g. structured interviews, work samples, etc, are (noisier) proxies of general mental ability.
There is another problem, which is the unit of account. What currency are prices posted in? It's going to be very hard to displace fait on this front. I don't think cryptos can become this until they are as stable as existing currency. They aren't even used as currency or behave like one. More like gold or stocks and present.

This may be a phenomenon limited to the tech field.

In many other fields that have advanced degree requirements, companies care far more about where you went to school and who you studied under.

For example - I have a friend that is an occupational therapist. They've had 5 different jobs in the last 10 years. Every single interview they've done has been mostly just a meet and greet. No real difficult questions, no tests, no trial periods. They just applied, the company saw their degree and experience, and the interview was simply there to make sure they could work together.
No, but if you did find yourself in that situation, you could still request cash from your employer, friends, or family, without obviously implicating them in aiding you. Or you could do odd jobs or beg on the streets for the cash you need to survive.

If you're digitally blacklisted, and can't send or receive money, then the only option you have is hope that someone in your life is willing to risk helping you directly by buying you things with no guarantee you'll ever be able to pay them back.
Artists are more likely to deal with cash because a lot of the way they operate is way more similar to (or often, idenitical to) the local handyman or emergency plumber or marketstall holder than the concept of 'artist' pushed on us through the media (although that isn't necessarily a myth, just very much not the norm and a sort of absolutely minute spin-off of the whole industry).

They also do a lot of negotiating and haggling. Art as a business can get quite complicated financially even at low levels of income so we end up back at the whole thing about how at a basic level budgetting is easy if you physically have the money in front of you

> But we can talk about how the U.S. is creating the sanctions in Afghanistan. And we can also talk about how Russia is using Crypto to get around sanctions.

So should we ban it then since anyone can get around sanctions using it?

Might as well ban encryption then. /s

> All crypto does is make money for the gatekeepers of crypto and profit off of war, sanction, and fear. Crypto solves zero problems, it only profits off of the problems governments create.

Care to elaborate? What would do you suggest then for those who are in countries like Ukraine or Afghanistan then?
I don't think Cisco will do this. They already have a budget product line. Which is said to be pretty mediocre but if course it has to be not to cannibalise their enterprise offering.
Maybe it’s a lingo thing. “Standard of care” is used all the time and just means “standard” in the sense of “best supported by data”.

But the standard of care might just be “give morphine to ease pain until death”.
Stupid username is my favourite kind of username. Great job!
It's not defamatory though - if people decide "yeah you probably suck" but its because of what someone else said, it's arguably up to them to show the person who originally spoke was defaming.

You can't sue journalists for this.

Now, it sounds like they have a bunch of other (factually correct) nonsense going on, they had a leak, suing to try to stop is just an incredibly bad look. I don't even know who Ubiquiti is, but fuck them, they sound like aholes to me.
That is so nostalgic. Aero Glass and Aqua fall in very special time in our lives when technology was rapidly improving and becoming widespread.
I think you're mistaking a correlation for causation here. Yes, people started saying "UI sucks for $reasonXZY" a lot more after these articles came out, but that's merely because the articles provided a convenient hook to which to attach existing grievances.

A random "Tell HN: UI sucks because their firmware went down hill"-post is not likely to go anywhere. But as a comment within an article about UI, sure, that works.

There are many things wrong with UI. An inflated insider security story does not change that.
Increase the quality of communication between team and thier stakeholders so that there are fewer reasons for the plan to change.

Increase the trustworthiness of the developers' tools, docs, and skills so there are fewer schedule risks.

Note that this was a problem on the classic Mac OS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_Mac_OS_memory_manageme..., upper bits of pointers were used as flags) and early ARM processors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/26-bit_computing#Early_ARM_pro..., combined program status register and program counter resulting in an effectively 26-bit system). Neither of these systems had an MMU, thus causing the breakage you mention. On a modern system with an MMU, one could instead reduce the size of a process' address space in exchange for tag bits.

In short, yes, very much so! Tree-sitter is what we're using under the covers to parse all of the languages that we support. The ctags-like symbol extraction described in the paper comes straight from tree-sitter, too. [1]

It's so trivial that it's pointless because the intended reader is presumed to have already done it himself, excising that triviality is the purpose of any kind of shorthand.
The academic culture of "we teach you to think not how to work" only makes sense for a world where the majority of people entering university are from wealthy, elite families such that the economic impact of attending college is negligible, and just an accepted tax to confirm social status. This was true for almost the entire history of college until after WW2.

At those points in history the degree was worth it because it was a signal of your social standing. You would walk into the office as the boss simply because you had a degree.

Today college is not elite. The vast majority of US high school students now go to college. 70% of those students take out loans to afford education. Because it is no longer elite "teaching you how to think" is no longer a great value proposition. Not to mention that most of the new grads I've met have failed to learn "how to think" as well as having no practical skills.
Ask HN: What Is a 'Misinformation Reporter'
I was listening to BBC's global news podcast this morning and was somewhat surprised to hear a reporter describe themselves as a "climate misinformation reporter". Seems odd to me. Is this a new thing? NYT is hiring for this role https://talkingbiznews.com/biz-news-help-wanted/ny-times-seeks-misinformation-reporter-on-tech-desk/

'This is a beat that intersects with almost every part of the report, including media, politics, health and international, so an ability and willingness to collaborate is essential. A sense of humor is also required'

Not much mention of how a 'misinformation reporter' is different from a regular journalist.
Any laptop that has a webcam connected to the intel chipset (the IPU) instead of USB UVC is basically unsupported under Linux. Most consumer laptops use the IPU (e.g. IdeaPads, Miix, HP Elites, Surfaces, all Chromebooks, etc. ), while most business lines use much more standarized USB UVC webcams. The reason is cost, as usual. USB UVC is basically a separate device; IPU webcam is much cheaper (processing is done on the intel chipset, you can use a MIPI sensor like on a phone, you don't even have real hw-controlled privacy LED but a software facsimile, etc.).

The IPU3 (Kaby Lake era!) is the only one generation that has been upstreamed, and as of today it only supports 2 types of sensors that were used in a couple Lenovo Miix models. Nothing else!
There are some patches floating around for the Surface devices of the era [1], but nothing upstreamed. And of course any newer IPU is out of the question (Intel is now at IPU6).

And it happens that all of these IPU3 webcams that work with upstream kernel are mostly because of the effort of just ONE guy, who is not employed by Intel, and who did not even know C a couple years ago (if you happen to be reading this, kudos to you!).

"Why is this important?"

Because without multi-region or multi-AZ durability, Wave could lose balances. For example, in the event of a DC fire.

"Why can't they get by with a traditional main server plus some backups with a sync"

Because without distributed strict serializability, Wave would also be risking the loss of data back to the last backup.

However, I'm assuming here that Wave are running consensus around Postgres. That they're not taking any of these chances.

But if they're doing it right, then Postgres just doesn't seem like the most boring way to get distributed failover safely, especially when the data is as valuable as account balances, where so much compliance is at stake. Why not simply use a distributed database to begin with?
Caffeine is decently addictive? I can’t remember the last day I didn’t have a cup.
And with C++/WinRT you even get back the experience of how it was like to do ATL development.
To me this feels like 'I love using this kind of hammer so let me find all the jobs where I can use this hammer I love to use.'

Most craftsmen and artists I know are very particular about their tools and much prefer using their own tools that they've lovingly maintained and gotten to know all the quirks of rather than some random tool someone hands them.
it was never meant to
I think the piece you're missing is the continuing role of the page tables or similar functionality in such systems. You can have a single address space, i.e. a particular address can only ever refer to the same memory, while still determining that only certain processes are allowed to access that address. In such a system, the page tables would always have the same mapping to physical addresses no matter what process you're in, but the read/write/execute bits on the page table would still change as you context switch.
This is a fair point, but for the layperson who cannot distinguish between the 30% of papers that are bad and the remaining 70% it may as well be a denunciation of all science, since they themselves perhaps cannot tell the difference.

While papers remain the main standard by which science is communicated maybe there is a place for those in the scientific community that do know to be more vocal about which papers are worth reading.
Yes.

I'm excited for the next steps of stable coins.

People always ask "What if Tether isn't 100% backed by Dollar?!"

The more interesting question is "What if the Dollar is shit?!"
Some of that cost is externalized onto the environment and future, much like we don't pay the actual cost of fossil fuels at the pump.

What devices are left that are fairly normal (that normal people might interact with in a given week), mechanical or electromechanical, have at least modest complexity, and have no microchips?

Locks? Guns? What else?

EDIT: perhaps an extra requirement that it's fairly durable, i.e. easily lasts ten years of normal use.

EDIT2: maybe it should also fit the requirement that it's a current model in production and that you don't have to go out of your way to find a non-semiconductor version.

If you want performance enhancing drugs, just admit it, and we can move to having it over the counter.

Well since you are responding to a different person and that person (me) isn’t saying that no other country behaves that way, this is largely moot, since I am only talking about some developed Western European and Commonwealth nations.
My school had plenty of "vocational" classes available to CS (and other) students. The school even made an effort to keep the pre-reqs simple for these so that students from other disciplines could give them a shot (and maybe so that students could prepare for internships). Classes like, iOS development, back-end web development, intro to data science, etc.

I'd be surprised if most universities didn't offer something similar. Even students at Ivy League school must want to get together with other students and learn to build useful software during their first year.
But more issues with temperature swings—ideally radiation wouldn't be the main concern here in Earth's atmosphere.
You’re assuming that the purpose of higher ed is to teach job-relevant skills. That is false. Higher Ed is an apprenticeship program for creating new instructors and researchers. Most people stop that process early before finishing for a variety of very valid reasons. There’s no reason to expect a degree to exactly prepare folks for specific jobs in industry.

It turns out that there’s very high correlation between the characteristics that make successful students and those that make successful workers. So a degree is still a useful signal during hiring, but it doesn’t certify a specific level of competency or skill set.
so weird game but cool :]]
When I last looked, Google Scholar doesn't take any action on paper retractions. It seems there is no reporting system in place.

Researchers Brock and Thornley of New Zealand published and then almost immediately retracted a paper linking COVID-19 vaccines and a much-higher-than-previously-found miscarriage rate. Scholar still lists the original paper posted---with no cover page indicating the retraction. (They do have a separate link to the retraction press release if you look for it.) The main result on Scholar links to a half dozen "not-so-academic" websites (ellinikahoaxes.gr, wokeguru.org, resistance-mondiale.com) hosting the same paper. I'm willing to bet even if the original paper could be removed, independent websites would continue to try relisting it.

While it's important to keep a record of bad research rather than scrubbing it away from history entirely, it seems feasible to have a reporting system in place for paper retractions, where the title link includes [retracted dd-mm-yyyy] or something.

This was my small taste of disappointment (aka loss of confidence) in a relatively popular academic tool.
