The files on disk are already encrypted (or at least are encryptable: there is a flag the developer can technically turn off), remember, by iOS itself; this is an additional layer of what I'd think really amounts to nothing more than "obfuscation" added by the application (unless the app itself has to be separately unlocked each time you use it--to prevent this key from being stored on disk--which I don't think is true of Signal? or, if it is, is not how that user is clearly using it). The concept of SQLCipher makes the most sense as part of some (evil) defense-in-depth DRM scheme, with the goal of preventing the owner of the phone from getting access to data that is "for developer eyes only", which is how I swear I most often had seen it used. (It is also fine for encrypting data files in transit, or putting passwords on specific files; which, of course, fits perfectly with sqlite being used as an app-specific file format, but that definitely isn't the case for here.)
A few... lack of standard transaction identifiers, fixed hours of business with bespoke holiday schedules, use of humans, use of telephones, physical travel to trade shows, printed literature, cold calling/emailing, manual price checks, incapacity to provide actual volume or delivery dates prior to purchase, manual pricing, non-transparent pricing, manual provisioning and re-entry of client and supplier information such as corporate identity, tax, banking and addresses; bait and switch, tedious inefficient reputation systems, lack of machine-readable digital specifications, lack of 3D models, lack of (translated) documentation, material/regulatory/supplier certificates and associated documentation that is impossible or tedious to verify... one could go on.
I get that this is under development, but at this point is this really more effective or smoother in terms of workflow than just using standalone neovim and tmux?

These aren't bush pilots. They're professional airline transport pilots. Their job requires a proficient level of aviation English.

I've never heard of the English rule being ignored anywhere else except perhaps at tiny airports without proper radio discipline. Though I was only a private pilot.

It's not that it has to be in English because it's meant to be a better language. It's because the international community chose it. English is a requirement because lives were lost because of this (think Avianca 52). Foreign pilots have to do a language test to get their license. Even for a PPL. At least here in Europe.

Also the phraseology of radio communication is pretty specific and even a native English speaker wouldn't make heads or tails of it if they have no knowledge of aviation. It isn't really English as such.

It's no coincidence that the French invented the word Chauvinism :) I the multinational company I work for I've never seen a people so angered at having to speak another language than the French.

There are better visa options for more skilled workers. Like the O1, or if you’re smart the L1 for international orgs with some stint outside. Or you can even start a company in a H1B. Or if you did make a lot of money an EB5. The list is long.
Yes, I just replied to "it [the lawsuit] may have been a motivation for creating Linux in the first place".

As for why Linux "won"; I think the low bar to contributing in the earlier days helped a lot; BSD tended to be a lot more bureaucratic. And there was also some amount of drama and splits in the early 90s, which probably didn't help either.

Is the reason they have to drill down 20 km to 500C rather than say 7 km to 175C (presumably a far simpler task) is the equilibrium heat flow?

That is, the water/steam cycle is extracting heat from the surrounding rock. That can only be extracted at a rate that matches the heat inflow, or ideally, ever so slightly less, so as to maintain equilibrium over decades over cubic miles of rock.

Yes, I understand that larger temperature differences increase thermodynamic efficiency. But if the energy produced is constant, efficiency may not matter as much as ease of construction etc.
Try searching for a speciality business in the middle of nowhere (where there are zero providers).

I recently did this, and ended up in a warren of sites like "10 best Widget repair in Smallsville, MO", where all the addresses were for nonexistent businesses in other states, with sort of plausible names tangentially related to widgets. (High plains frobulator sales, Mesa, AZ, or whatever).

I'm pretty sure a deep learning algorithm produced that corner of the internet. It definitely contained lots of referral links and phone numbers. Never managed to reach a human or figure out what the scam was.
If you're saying that the historical "broker's fee" when renting in a place like NYC doesn't benefit you, then I agree. That broker represents the landlord, not you, and you're just being charged to make up the cost.

If you're saying that someone doesn't "work for you" unless you pay them a flat or hourly rate, then I disagree completely. All incentive structures have problems. Someone who works on contingency is incentivized to get you to sign. If they take a percentage cut, of course, they want you to sign the most expensive thing they can. Someone who works on a flat-rate basis is incentivized to do as little custom work as possible. Someone who works on an hourly basis is incentivized to drag out the proceedings. There is no perfect system.

Most of these agreements are structured where the fee is paid by you, after signing a lease, as a function of the monthly/annual rental price. The agent works for you, you just don't pay up front or a fixed cost or on an hourly basis. Does this change the incentive structure? Yes. Does it mean that they don't provide you a benefit? No. You just have to be aware of the incentives.
> Lattice problems cannot be reduced to either class of problems for which quantum provides speedups.

Essentially any problem can be poised as an unstructured search. But the quantum speedup for generic unstructured search is modest-- a sqrt in the number of operations. This can be compensated just by doubling the number of bits of the effective search space.

Thanks for the tip. I was unaware of that and have edited accordingly.
For a non-exhaustive survey (an exhaustive one would be very difficult because there's a lot of software, and methodology is complicated):
100% of Fortran in scipy is 77 https://github.com/scipy/scipy/search?l=fortran&p=1

50% of Fortran in numpy is 77 https://github.com/numpy/numpy/search?l=fortran&p=1

ARPACK, ATLAS, LAPACK, ODEPACK, SLATEC, UMFPACK are all notable Fortran libraries that are still fortran77.

A search of github suggest that by repository, there are roughly, 150 f77, 450 f90, 180 f95, and less than 230 for fortran 2003, 2008 and 2018 combined (fortran 2018 is especially dire there are only 6 repos with over 10 stars). however, it's worth noting that github is a site is biased towards newer versions since it only became a relatively dominant platform in the past 10 years or so.

All in all, I think my initial statement is probably wrong by 1 version. The majority of Fortran appears to be f90 or older, and only about 1/5th of fortran code was written on a version of the language from this millennium.

While I do work for JuliaComputing, my posts on HackerNews in no way reflect the views of the company. I'm not sure why you think paying software engineers to bash languages would be an efficient use of resources.
> It’s not a “really hard problem”

Then what's the solution?
> That was the theory, but it is not being borne out by the actual data. See below.

I'm not sure where you're pointing "below", but I've read a lot of papers and titrations of neutralization across many variants of different subpopulations.

> The data coming out of the UK and Israel does not support this claim. Their populations are already vaccinated and boosted at percentages much higher than those in the US, but those vaccinated and boosted people are still getting infected and are still being hospitalized and dying in significant numbers.

Israel's had about half the COVID death per capita of the US in 2022, and is probably better at reporting deaths as COVID-related. The UK has about 65%. Boosted subpopulations have fared much better within all of these 3 jurisdictions than the population at large.

Is this research comparing spending at the same store, or just car owners vs non-car owners buying every day things? If the latter, I would think it's more that if you don't drive, you likely live in a more expensive area and things cost more.
Calling it a public health measure is editorializing. Since vaccines do not prevent transmission, I think most rational people would prefer an unvaccinated nurse that doesn't have covid vs a vaccinated nurse that does. The only official line left as far as I know is that vaccination "prevents severe infection". So is the rule still in place for the sake of the unvaccinated nurses?

And I'm not trying to be ideological here - if I've made a factual or logical mistake, I'm happy to be corrected and will own it

Does it compile with -std=c89?

Looking at your example though, I expect it assumes 32 bit when doing some pointer manipulation. I also assume you are building it now on a 64 bit system. That is likely the issue.

You will need to look at the pointer handling and port to 64 bit as required.

Click and drag down is the opposite of code reuse, it is effectively a one time code generator.

In fact it is one of the main reason I have largely abandoned spreadsheats, the behaviour I actually want is found in sql views. Calculate all items in column with one expression vs calculate items in column with unique expressions that were copy, pasted then transformed for each and every row.

The other main reason I abandoned spreadsheets is row level integrity. too many times data that goes together in a row has drifted apart(sort on column subset is main culprit), another inherent problem solved by using a relational database.

the solution to having excel at every desk is to have postgres at every desk. the code will be just as bad but the data integrity will be better.
Of course ;) bought a license but it lacks important features for me.
OK, I'm fine with opening it up, too, and we should probably so so, that may give more input. There have been lots of fixes posted already, and I haven't checked whether that solves everything (this would be a bit counter to helping in a natural way), so I don't know whether there's actually anything left to do. For either case, I've put up a page which will contain updates on the events here[1].

Public live streaming is new to me and so far I've evaded any public records of my video and voice, maybe that's pointless since this will become increasingly impossible into the future, but I'm undecided and so far am planning for conference calls that, while open for anyone to join (see [1]), will not make recordings public. I might be swayed. I'm also still not omniscient in the C world (the most glaring is probably that I've never used the GNU autotools!), OTOH I'm yearning for somewhat higher levels of abstraction so my C coding is often untypical, so YMMV if you're after learning standard ways of working in C.

This is a small service for developers. Please see the FAQ comment. There are not currently 40,000 proxy connections to the public server (more like 10). If there are then the server will gracefully give an error and terminate the connection.

Please do not spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt about security without precise details. It’s not conducive to a healthy conversation.

The popup message is information that there's a war going on, and a suggestion to download the Tor browser (to get past Putin's censorship).

To some, that's malware, whilst to some people in Russia, it could be valuable information, something helpful.

But maybe most software people know about Tor and VPNs already. And I suppose that the popup in most cases got stopped during Q/A.

I don't really see the message reaching its intended audience

Data seems to show those that had 3rd shot pfizer have very low risk of hospitalization compared with unvaxxed. The 3rd shot (booster) really makes a difference, something I myself was quite skeptical about early on. I had initially thought if the 2nd doesn't work then the third is probably placebo but glad to be proven wrong.

It seems silly to suggest n=1, unless you somehow assumed I've only encountered one manager in 20 years.

N is the number of managers I've personally reported to (directly and indirectly), other managers I've had direct experience with at my various workplaces, the managers of my peers at these workplaces, and the managers my friends at other companies have told me about.

I've seen many bad managers, but their flaws have been: political shenanigans, technological ignorance, lack of involvement, or just general cluelessness. The one thing I've never actually seen yet is a manager who is trying to do too much in the details.
Good question. No, the bore server only listens on ports dynamically when it gets a new connection. It cleans up connections as well. This is managed by Rust’s ownership system. Could you also clarify what the specific risk is of opening ports?

Bore has an explicit design goal of being easy to deploy yourself. Unfortunately adding TLS termination would necessitate setup steps like creating a wildcard certificate and uploading it. It also requires additional configuration options, since TLS termination is on top of HTTP, but bore only proxies TCP directly and is unaware of HTTP. This is by design.
Sibling commenter says money, but I fear it's more to do with ego, admitting the Made in China vaccines are ineffective against Omicron and having to import Western-made vaccines would mean a loss of face for the government. It's sad how a lot of China's actions are rooted in their feeling of insecurity.

But my instincts tell me some higher ups in government probably have taken a Western vaccine because they know they're effective against Omicron, they just can't admit that publicly.

On the topic of "research", I wonder why they haven't just "pirated" one of the mRNA vaccines and claimed it a Chinese invention.
Yes, extending the test suite may definitely be worthwhile. Also, using AFL+ to collect non-crashing test cases can make this quick and somewhat exhaustive (while admittedly not giving as easy hints about what might be broken than manually created tests would).

I currently use tmux and vim all day every day, including as my dev environment (if I'm not in a browser). Are there any advantages to this?

My initial thought is that having vim inside a terminal session is a better organization model than having a terminal session inside of a vim pane, but maybe that's just because it's how I've worked for 20 years so it's what I'm used to.

I know that some vim users prefer to run commands from inside vim. Is that the type of people this project is aimed at?
