As I said in a different comment, I don't think they're necessarily optimal. But a lot of companies do them, which is at least some sign that they have some value. Personally I think slightly different approaches are better, but there are some benefits to a standardized, easy-to-administer test that is better than your random personnel at your company can come up with on their own. (I've seen many far worse ways to value employees than Leetcode-style interviwes).

Also, I'm not sure how easy Leetcode is to practically game. I may be way off here (truly), but most people who can get good enough at solving Leetcode-style problems (and are willing to put in that time) are probably better than those who can't. This certainly misses some people, but as I said, finding a filter that only lets through above-average candidates, even if it misses some others, is what a lot of companies are looking for.
The EU safety regs have a cutoff of 50VAC and 75VDC. (Those are only ~5% different in peak voltage.)

Below those levels, you have only general product safety regs to comply with. At/above those and up through all “reasonably household” voltages, you (probably) have to comply with the EU low voltage directive. “Probably” because the LVD itself isn’t law but member states have generally implemented it in their laws.
I did try "PARA" but found it a little bulky.. I've been working with Johnny decimal, have you read about it ? what are your thoughts on decimal ( https://johnnydecimal.com/ )? Do you think its worth switching and enduring the change for an information worker ?
So you're worried that a very short lived compromise of a SSI / federated auth layer can lead to long-lived compromises of everything it grants access to because a short time can be used to generate long-lived auth to third parties?

That's a legitimate concern, any compromise of the SSI needs a complete refresh of anything it's touched, including refreshing all API keys, keyrings, etc.

Hopefully as the ecosystem matures it'll be easier to en-masse mark an account as compromised and have that status propagate and trigger resets of affected credentials.

A similar threat is insider threat, (probably actually a greater threat) where someone leaving a company could generate tokens which grant them access for long after they've gone.

If reason about how that's typically managed (disabling their upstream accounts) that gives insight into how to deal with your initial concern, it should be managed in the same way.
I originally wrote hummer, but I thought that was a slang term. Thanks
From a Hackernews point of view the most relevant part of this will be their video distribution platform 'All4' (previously '4 On Demand').

All4 is one of the buggiest platforms of all of the big channels. The others may be lacking in features but even Channel 5 has a pretty smooth user experience.

All4 consistently crashes, shows ads but then no programme, doesn't show programmes in its search results, doesn't keep track of where the viewer is in an episode, doesn't keep track of if a user has finished an episode, fails to load the next episode. The subscription service that is supposed to not show ads shows ads, the platform doesn't work on Linux, the app doesn't download things successfully for offline viewing consistently and a smorgasbord of other paper-cut issues that make it generally a drag to have to use.

Privatisation, despite other drawbacks, would likely mean that they could more handily compete in the on-demand space. They have an enviable catalogue, a niche within the British market and a tech-savvy audience that they are probably already losing to other streaming services that they need to overhaul if they want to win back.
You break skin at about 50VDC. We could keep ~120V for distribution. There are problems tuning control loops of buck converters dropping more than about 30V (though you can just have multiple buck converters in a row).

Correcting the power factor from 120VAC gives you a boost circuit that gives you 360-400VDC. Some motor control and battery technology standardizes around this voltage. Cars are a big one, but also PFC direct to inverter motor control, which is becoming popular in white goods.
Calvinism is evil.
That doesn't seem to align with any economic theory or evidence I'm aware of. Care to explain your reasoning?
"it’s a skill a large number of motivated people can pick up."

Define "large number". You can have millions of programmers and it still be a small fraction of the population at large. Sorry to say it, but a lot of people are never going to become coders - it's our own AI systems that will bring coders down to earth, not the public at large suddenly learning to code.

>Does mystical language honestly require a trigger warning?

I think GP was being a little flip with that, especially since many on HN are likely (as I am) empricists who don't really go in for "mystical language" or what is generally known as "woo."[0]

Hence the facetious reference to a "trigger warning."

Perhaps GP could confirm or reject my hypothesis?

You're a 5-person startup. How do you verify that all of Github's token issuance policies align with your needs?
Many USB switches come with A-A cables for connecting to computers.

The only reason I could find is that B connectors are a bit higher, so they would need to use a larger case.

AV1 is definately patent 'encumbered' since part of their strategy is MAD style patent counterattacks on anyone who sues over it, withdrawing the use of the patents that are otherwise freely granted to anyone and everyone.

Still leaves an opening for patent troll type operations but pretty much rules out anyone who actually wants to use codecs in their products. Which is why no one has been foolish enough to try to 'prove it' in court, just trying would wreck their own business.

Even better, just kill everyone for a greener earth.
Because there are only so many words in the world and an English person isn't going to use a Dutch dictionary. At that point it's going to be harder to remember than just random characters of the same entropy.
> Ah, so it’s a Realtek RTL8153! I always found Intel NICs to be way more reliable and stable, but okay, that’s a reasonably popular chip.

Intel doesn't make USB ethernet controllers, they only do PCIe. Realtek has a near monopoly on USB Ethernet, the only other supplier I can think of is SMSC/Microchip LAN7500, and I'm not sure it's any better.

> There’s also a second USB hub, but only a 2.0 one, same vendor, but 0x2817 as the product ID. That slower hub was used for the SD and microSD card reader.

That's the same hub, USB 3.0 just bolts on to USB 2.0 additively & the USB 2.0 world exists in parallel. Both hubs are contained in the same physical chip.
Exactly, all of the reasons bearer tokens might be awful are essentially self inflicted pain. Simple suggestion: don't do that and do it right instead. It's an opaque blob, by design. Which means it could be anything. Including something bearing useful information that you can verify in a sane way.

In our case, we use JWT tokens that contain a few claims, are signed, have an expiration token, etc. Not awful at all. Verifiable information, signed by us with our private key, exchanged over https. That's not information the bearer of the token needs to be aware of but it is something our APIs can trivially verify and use as a basis for authenticating the bearer of the token. Pretty neat mechanism. Nothing wrong with it. Used at scale by world + dog on the internet without a lot of issues.

And before somebody starts ranting about JWTs being awful: same argument. They don't have to be but they can might if you decline to use sane crypto. So, use it properly and you're fine. It's not that hard.
Adjusted for inflation this seems cheap given we would pay $50 - $60 for an eighth of nice Canadian bud in Minnesota back in the early 2000’s. Mexican dirt weed was $20 back then but half the time it would taste like the inside of a gas tank.
It is surprisingly difficult in desirable cases, for example if you want your backend architecture to be spread across several sites and with no single point of failure.

If the client starts using the token immediately, propagating that token to all servers before the first use is a harsh requirement.
There are literally zero hills in Amsterdam. Some sloped surfaces maybe, but no hills.
Fair enough. But if that is the case and that is the cost of good support (tbc) then pay it.

Nothing is worse than signing up for a service where support may be needed but is somehow lacking or not even available.
Renting a house is not a right. The house owners can deny the access to the resource to anybody by reasons as having an ugly pet.

But we aren't talking here about a noisy dog, we are talking about giving the keys to your home to citizens from two nations that in the last month had systematically bombed thousands of buildings, set fire and demolished millions of homes.

Have burnt-down thousands of houses like yours. After systematically ravaging them, and often after murdering all the owners (owners like you), and their entire families.

They --could-- be also really nice people but the tenant can't know it (and would be facing still a risk against their property being vandalized by a third actor, because is hosting Russians). You would be buying tickets for a lottery for housing the worse nightmarish guest in the planet. The best outcome for the tenant would be to receive a few bucks.

The worse would be renting your home to possible arsonists, looters, people that could be hiding stolen properties in your property, or even serial murderers. It just doesn't worth the trouble, specially when there is a high demand and plenty of better candidates.

What I'm trying to say is that Airbnb is not a charity. "All the customers should paid the same because moral" is not how companies work. Some customers are more expensive to the company than other. Some carry a too poor cost/benefits ratio.
Yes morality is the right word, not ethic. King Kong Theory force its readers to rethink accepted morality.

Are you saying that you are not a moral person because morality is defined by the society ? or because you feel guilty, you don't see yourself as a "good" person ? (Of course I ask because of KKT)
Rust is becoming a primary language for modern blockchains and hence the roadmap should account for their demands as well, particularly three of them:

1. Readable and debuggable macros. Blockchain devs use them heavily, and it's virtually impossible to understand what's going on for a person, who wasn't involved in the development of that code with macros.

2. Floating point operations reproducibility across environments. When it comes to finding and hashing the consensus among many machines about floating point calculations, Rust gets ugly: in fact, as a developer, you'll have to use either integers or a made up fixed point numbers instead of floats to ensure that calculations are identical on different machines. You need that because hash function will be completely different for two numbers, which are even slightly different.

3. Zero-exception safety mode checking at compile-time. Blockchain code should run forever and never halt. Because if it does, the whole blockchain is at risk of stopping, and some chains may never recover from that. So, just as good as Rust prevents poor memory management, there should be a special optional compile-time check, that prevents runtime exceptions and halts, and forces the developer to wrap all possible points of exceptions in nice workarounds.

Blockchain devs are the best Rust adopters out there, we're excited to see how the language is becoming defacto a standard for web3 development.
TIL Channel 4 was previously publicly owned.
Mutual certs get you closer, but the missing component is device state validation. I probably don't want to share my understanding of device state with a third party (it might include things like which apps are installed on a device, and sharing that with a third party is extremely not cool), and I probably don't want to share my policy (if they get popped then an attacker is going to be able to figure out what I'm looking for), so I need a mechanism where the third party can call out to me with proof of the client identity and I can then compare that against my policy and give an answer back. And we don't have a good way to do that yet.
Catch the 90% of stuff that works with your cut down dataset. The other 10% includes things you might only catch not only with O(n^2) queries over a 10TB, but also when under prod load like you say.

Just either gradually roll out those high-risk changes with feature flags, etc. or make sure your monitoring is up-to-scratch so you can catch issues and fix them.
Can confirm. My previous house had some still in service for some general hallway lighting and other light loads. It was not jacketed (like modern non-metallic cable is), but it was definitely insulated.
Thank you for backing his work, his posts and twitter feed are a gold mine for some pretty unique ideas in signed distance field and other rendering research.
They are close to "evil" unless trying (often hard) to become otherwise.

"Left" libertarianism is an oxymoron. Any philosophy that prioritises the collective over the individual is inherently illiberal.

Because nobody cares about performance. As far as I remember on Linux every C symbol not explicitly inline or static defaults to visible and dynamically linked. You can try to tell gcc to treat every symbol as hidden by default but at that point every third party header would have to explicitly declare its exported symbols as visible. That whole dllexport/import mess Windows binaries require? That is the implicit default on Linux.

I’d assume an insider took it, forgot they had it, and recently they (or perhaps their child) realised what it was.

But as for how it could’ve been laser printed, my experience of Cambridge is a nerd density similar to Hacker News, so I wouldn’t rule out someone making their own laser printer, nor someone using the Cambridge Makespace laser cutter on a really low power and dusting toner on by hand (would that even work?), nor something else equally ridiculous by normal people standards.
Sure -- in healthcare people say things like "I think new job's approach to managing patient outcomes has the rigor that I prefer" or "I think my new gig professes to emphasize xyz more than this job, and I think that is a better fit for me."
Indeed, though 1984 is ostensibly fiction, as is Animal Farm. Down and Out is gripping because there is no such excuse. Workhouses existed. He wrote in reaction to his times and he did not invent that much…
No, I'm worried that if someone has temporary access to a machine that has one of these long-lived tokens, they may continue to have access to anything that that long-lived token grants access to.

Unfortunately, even this changes. Lots of uploaders add subtitles, that pop up 2-3 times during a show "To download more movies, visist our site XXXX".
I just don't see how that's relevant. Nobody uses one-hidden-layer networks anymore. Whatever GPT is doing, it has nothing to do with approximating a collection of samples by assembling piecewise functions, except in the way that Microsoft Word is based on the Transistor.
> The subscription service that is supposed to not show ads shows ads..

Absolutely correct and totally ridiculous, although they do make the distinction of calling these ads 'promotional messages'.
The startup probably has a bunch of investors. I guess they just picked the one that is the best clickbait? It's not like Tencent themselves are working on it.

> NLP models of language arent models of language.

Do you actually know what a NLP Language Model refers to? It literally is a model of the language - it predicts the likelihood of the next word(s) given a set of prior word(s).

It seems you think people just throw some data at a neural network and then go wow. It's not like that at all - the field of NLP grew out of linguistics study and has deep roots in that field.

> - who decides when a feature is ready to go to production? The programmer who developed them? The automated tests?

Exactly. That's the standout claim from the whole article. "We only ship when we're sure code is ready for prod". What, after running a few tests on your laptop? That's a good one :D
This is vandalism. Channel 4 uses no government money and has a remit to show programming other channels cannot.

The only reason this is on the table is because they critised the current government.
The second Netflix introduces Ads, I'll drop my subscription and go back to the Bay + Torrent - I own a VPN already.

The issue is, that at this point in time, Netflix will become a greedy data monster like Google and try its best to profile me to "improve my ad experience". Thanks, but no thanks. VLC does not profile me when I watch a pirated show.
That's correct.

There are scenarios where it still makes sense.

It's plausible that it would more efficient for some high traffic services to push (the somewhat rare) revocation notices out to endpoints as still being more efficient.

For example imagine a whatsapp clone. People send thousands (probably tens of thousands) more messages than they issue password/auth resets.

Having the incoming message endpoint maintain a cache of recently expired tokens would let you set a reasonably long (e.g. 24 hr) token expiry. You could have the app re-auth in the background on start-up and/or when it detects the expiration window is closing, while incoming messages avoid hitting the central DB for auth.

Maintaining a cache of expired tokens pushed to endpoints would be vast orders of magnitude smaller than maintaining a cache of all session keys.

I don't know for sure though, perhaps central session caches are just more practical and secure anyway for these kind of end-user endpoints.

In some ways this is similar to the Certificate Revocation List handles certs. There are certificate revocation notices that are used instead of needing to check centrally the validity of all certificates.

That said, the CRL has essentially been deprecated in preference of a lookup model.
I read an amazing quote online about any satelite company trying to create their own custom rocket to launch its satellite instead of using existing infrastructure.

The day they decide to get into that is the day they stop being a satelite company and become a rocket company instead. The person put in much more eloquent words so wish i could find that comment but its sounds similar to that.

Not entirely, though, for YouTube because paying doesn't remove the "And here's a word from our sponsor" segments that people are now using instead of ad breaks, right?
Its odd in a democracy in 2022 that a government should own a media/news organisation. If the argument that this is profitable is true, then it should be capable of carrying on its endeavours privately with no issue whatsoever.
The most successful physicists of today do know (at least a part of) physics in depth.

On the other hand, for musical theory, the most successful (and rich) musicians today only know a fraction of music theory. Or none at all

For as much as we can discuss about it, most of it is constructed. A lot of musical theory goes over rules and structures and archaic nomenclature for every little thing (fml) and what not, for, on the more advanced levels say "oh sure, you can break this rule if you want". Ok thanks, I guess I'll just save my time and play what sounds good, thanks

Even internal-only whistleblowing on non-safety things like IP issues or quality can be risky.

In theory you are helping by making them aware non-publicly. But if profits are good they may want to keep these things quiet and unresolved.

With unemployment at ~4% unethical people just want to continue guzzling unethical money until snot hits the fan -- when product or service collapses under the weight of the problem then get a new job at same pay. They don't want to fix anything even if long-term its a big problem. OTOH, when employment is 9% then it isn't a sure bet that equivalent job is available, and scammers need to adapt faster.

"The tragedy of publicly traded companies" sounds like a very useful term! But I don't think that you need to look any deeper than the basic market mechanism of shareholders with realistic expectations happily selling to future shareholders with higher expectations (e.g. unrealistic expectations). If the latter exist, they will offer more than the former think the shares are worth, deal. It's a market mechanism as basic as gravity, "race to the least pessimistic".

The only thing that sometimes prevents it is when holders are emotionally attached (old family stock or brand fandom) or when holders have a strategic need to prevent certain control scenarios (often nationally flavored).
