I have to say I like this somewhat poetic way of writing, especially the sentences with which the author ends paragraphs. Very rich.

On a different note, no. Let's fight death. Fuck aging. We can fight it. We don't have to suffer like cattle under it. We can beat it.

There are plenty of longevity focused startups and academic research groups, and yet we're not spending nearly enough effort and money on this problem. It affects every human on earth, and the immense benefits of adding even one year of healthy lifespan to 7 billion people make it a moral imperative to act upon.

Fighting death should be a multi-national effort that we focus on with all our might, _right now_. You shouldn't have to die.

I once was on the other side of this. While opening a new bank account, I dictated my email (name.lastname.123@server) to the representative, she entered it and later printed out the agreement. I read the agreement and noticed she entered my email wrong (name.lastname@server). It can be easy to forget the numbers while saying the email out loud, or while entering an email someone else said out loud.
For traditional 32-bit ARM, off the top of my head:

- Every instruction being conditional (all instructions have a four-bit condition field, with one of the 16 possible modes being "always");

- The barrel shifter, which can be used on nearly every data processing instruction;

- The program counter being one of the general-purpose registers (and on the original ARM, the same register also containing the flags), so that any register move can alter the program flow;

- The load-multiple/store-multiple instructions, which can load or store up to 16 registers, plus incrementing or decrementing the base register; and since the program counter is one of these registers, it can restore several registers from the stack, update the stack pointer, change the program counter, and switch to Thumb mode (stored on the least significant bit of the program counter), all in a single instruction.
I doubt they waste cruise missiles on their general city terror campaigns. It's mostly MLRS, artilery, bombing with unguided bombs from airplanes, and tank shelling, what Russia uses to terrorize cities. They don't need precision for this.

Cruise missiles are used for higher value targets.
Out of interest, why do you wish that it had happened?

I like roads. I like motorways. I've always enjoyed being in LA. Just a personal preference. I am under no illusions that it would have actually worked in London, but I have a Ballardian sense of "what if" to major infrastructure projects. I never expect anyone to agree with me.

your suggestions are still surprisingly far in to London. Why do they need to be inside the M25 at all?

They don't. Ebbsfleet, being on HS1, is a reasonable example of a park and ride option outside the M25, although it's amazingly expensive to park there for what used to all be fields when I was a kid..

The problem is lack of infrastructure. We can't just slap 4 or 5 Ebbsfleets outside the M25 because there are few reasonable ways to offer a 20-30 minute journey into central London from them at this point. But this is my point. If they'd conceded we'd need this sort of thing when they ditched the ringways project 40+ years ago, we could have had something in place well before now. Where can you park and ride from, say, the top third of the M25? Stevenage is probably your only reasonable bet.. especially as even Cockfosters is a cramped 40 minute tube ride to St. Pancras.
Write-up of a project to reduce pager load
I can't imagine having biological kids that late in life, however becoming a foster/adoption parent is always possible and there's always a need for more of them.
That's an absurd proposition. If you can't guarantee to not oversubscribe at least 10mbit/s on a 100mbit/s plan what's the point of advertising it as such?
T-Mobile has more than 30,000 Gitlab repos? That's mind-boggling. What a mess.
Yes exactly. I'm fine with any company policy as long as it doesn't change every month. Then it's just one more criterion to select the offer you prefer, depending on your preferences.
Ukraine Sounds Alarm on Chinese Drones, Opening Skies to U.S. Startups
What Lisp and Smalltalk have that still sets them apart is that the language runtime is designed to provide comprehensive support for livecoding.

Take, for example, Common Lisp's UPDATE-INSTANCE-FOR-REDEFINED-CLASS (http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/f_upda_1.htm). If you redefine a class in a running program, Lisp notices and the next time control touches an existing instance of the class, UPDATE-INSTANCE-FOR-REDEFINED-CLASS is automatically called to reinitialize the instance to reflect the new definition.

That's not all there is to it, of course. For example, how does Lisp know how to reinitialize the instances for the new definition? The Common Lisp standard also defines a complete suite of features to answer that question.

Smalltalk provides equivalent features.

Lots of languages have repls. Some of them support hot reloading. These are not the same kind of thing as automatically noticing that a definition has changed, and that implies that any time you touch a previously-created instance of that definition the runtime needs to automatically catch it and provide facilities (interactive when needed) to dynamically fix up the data to conform to the new definition.

Why would any language define such features? To support a specific style of programming, one in which the program is already running, it just doesn't have all the features you want it to have--so you tell it how to add them, while it runs, and test each new feature immediately, as soon as you've told the program how to do it.

Very few languages support the comprehensive whole-system approach to livecoding that Common Lisp and Smalltalk do. These are not new features, though; they've been around for decades.

Is there? It’s not like we’re in any position to find out until the armies roll into Russia to find the destruction camps. Or the war settles down and Ukraine can do a full inventory and find tens of thousands of people missing or dead.

If Russia has really been cremating remains in Mariupol, people may remain missing forever.

"professional" Journalism by 2022 has deteriorated to some variation of rat poison. Rat poison pellets are 99.9% good food, but some organizations have gotten the recipe completely backwards and are more like 99.9% poison, CNN being one of those organizations if you ask me.

Taking equity as an engineer specifically means that you’re foregoing salary in favor of potential future earnings. Not only is it widely agreed to be an opportunity cost, it’s specifically designed that way, as a gamble with the potential to benefit both parties. It can and does routinely make people worse off than they would be, if they had chosen to take a salary instead.
In all objectivity you can do much more with one single laptop than a number of synth/sequencers/controllers/groovebox.

But:

- we are tactile people

- we like knobs and things that plugs into themselves (a sexual thing?)

The 2 aformentionned items are partially solved by the the use of midi controllers but:

- software instruments launched by a DAW lack relief

- we like owning things

- limitations inspire creativity

- when using a computer you are all too often exposed to procrastination through the proximity of the web browser, communication tools / social medias notifications, etc.

- some of us spend enough time in front of a computer during the day that once we are off we prefer not open it again

- there are people who collect things

- machines can be sold back, software licenses activated online usually cannot.

- I would totally bring my Model:Samples or any other pocket groovebox/synthsequencer to shape some draft of music with headphones, I wouldn't bring a laptop there.
What's missing is the cognitive dissonance most companies present. They claim to "care about people", "care about the environment", etc.

You don't care about people when they clearly perform their best work offline and they want to work offline, then push them back into the office (goes vice versa as well).

You don't care about society when you push office workers to come in during rush hour because you don't give them enough money to live near the city, while trying to squeeze any tax benefit out which could make the city more habitable. It's not just the office workers; the people who can't WFH also spend more time in traffic.

You don't care about the ecology when you continue to push people to drive, one of the largest sources of emissions individuals can fight against when given the chance.

Yes, the individual suffers. But these guys always try to sell it as if coming to the office does society some great favor. It doesn't.
Replace SSRIs with Gold and Reverse Mortgages and then you've got the comparison correct. :)
I will never go back to an office in my life if I can do anything about it. Everything you described was a miserable part of every day of my working life before the pandemic. The most insulting part is the money: if you work 40h/wk and have a 30m commute, that's probably another 30m each way to change and pack, so at least 1h of extra time per day, for a total of 2h/day (IF you're lucky and your commute is ONLY 30m each way. imagine the people commuting 1-2h each way, like I once did). For 5 days in the office, 2h/day adds up to 10h/week, or an extra 25% of time spent on work. I doubt any company is going to offer you a 25% pay raise to compensate for the extra 25% of time that working in the office really costs you, let alone pay you on top of that 25% to compensate for the added miseries and discomfort of being in an office.

In addition to what others have said, it's bizarre to me that the first thing you list that you dislike is "their target audience is boomers". I know there's an anti-baby-boomer meme that's popular on other parts of the internet, but it doesn't belong here.

In some parts of the world, one can still celebrate their 40th birthday with their grandparents and their grandkids at the same party.
The quote said "Hitler" and not "Hitler when he invaded Poland but before he killed 10+ million innocent civilians"
I’ve done this math many times.

My grandfather on my father’s side was born in 1906. He was 35 when my father was born in 1941.

My father was 38 when I entered this world in 1979.

I was 41 in 2020 when my son was born. Fortunately we were able to have some semblance of an 80th birthday for his grandfather last year in the midst of this pandemic.

If my son has a child as late in life as I have, there’s no telling if I’ll get to meet them, simply because of life expectancy.
I disagree. I've found it's valuable to be reminded how short life really is; it makes you think hard about how you want to spend your finite time. This idea has really changed how I live my life, from small decisions (is scrolling twitter really worth it?) to big ones (do I really want to spend my precious life in this miserable job?).

I read an article where they visualized each week of your life as a diamond. If you live to be 90 years old, all those weeks would barely be a handful of diamonds. Each week you are "giving away" that diamond to the things you do, whether it's working, hobbies, time with friends, etc. You have to consider "does this activity really deserve a diamond? is this really how I want to spend my most precious resource?".

We will all die some day. Ignoring this fact won't make it go away, but embracing it will let you take control of it.
I couldn't find any proofs... The statement "incinerating bodies" sounds like Ukrainian propaganda.
I have to say that T-Mobile is something special:

2020 - More than 50 million people now affected[1]

2021 - T-Mobile Hacked for 5th Time in 4 Years in Latest Breach[2]

2021 - T-Mobile suffers another, smaller data breach[3]

2022 - This story

While clearly T-Mobile does not care enough about information security to do something significant, its also pretty clear that stock market, customers and regulators also do not care about such gross negligence.

Think about it the other way around: if the language were sufficiently high level that the compiler could give the CPU more opportunities for OOO. C incorporates too many assumptions about the PDP-11. Sometimes they are harmless (the ++ operator) and sometimes disastrous (memory model).
My name is something reasonably rare. There's one other person with the same name in the same industry niche. Occasionally we even have the same giant employer. Every once in a while some fraud detector or email auto complete gets us confused and hilarity ensues.
This.

There will be massive consequences for those holding commercial real estate if companies stop paying those insane rents. Also, cities will suffer (at least in the short-term) if property taxes drop from those properties losing value. They are definitely afraid of remote work and the changes it will bring.
I don’t know that this definitively answers that question. It’s possible to use a different architecture based on cost/performance and keep a small population of Intel machines in service because you want access to their superior PMUs. Most of what you learn on the latter would still apply to the former.
It's not that simple.

The limit of shame is entwined with the information we consume.

If you were presented the War through the lens of "denazification", you might think the war was ethically justifiable.
Nothing stops a hacker from siphoning all the credentials from a login page either. Servers have to handle plaintext passwords regularly.
I try to get up on the right side of the bed every morning.
Server knows the plaintext password already, too.

Servers should NOT be storing passwords in plaintext, ever. This has been clear for at least 20 years now. You should only store a salted hash of a password, and please, do not roll your own. Use one of the many popular libraries for this.
Ah yes, life advice and perspective form an overly priveleged nobody. It is easy to do these kind of lazy life pholosophy takes when you have your life sorted. Unfortunately, for the most of "this" generation, this life was screwed by your fathers generation beyond measure. Out of control global warming, house prices that require life long mortgage that you cannot even commit to because of student loans. Consider yourself lucky if you are perfectly healthy (for now). So yeah, shut up about living "now".
I mostly agree. The commute (NYC) often leaves me feeling tired and irritable (train delays, standing for 45 min on a packed train etc).

If the company footed an Uber bill, or heavily subsidized at say $500/mo, it's a whole different story. I can definitely take a car in three times a week.
It's only been out for 1 month though; that isn't enough time to generate intrigue. Look at how long Apple TV+ has taken to get up and running with good original content.
>I would like to have cheaper connections available if I don't want to pay for the bandwidth usage of other customers.

The anti net neutrality argument is all about taking that freedom away from you. ISPs don't want to change their business model. They want to offer up to X mbit/s but they don't even want to guarantee 5 mbit/s. If there was net neutrality ISPs would be forced to offer plans that are only partially oversubscribed not 100% oversubscribed.

If you wanted a 5mbit/s plan the ISP would still oversubscribe and you would get screwed over by them.
Looks really cool. I'm sad that I'll never know; Intel + Linux + non-VM excludes literally every computer I have access to. We're all AMD + Windows, and my only access to Intel Linux machines would be a cloud VM.
Ask HN: Is Hybrid Working a Ruse?
We've been asked to return to the office for two days a week "mandatory".

I'm convinced that this is just the first part of a plan to eventually have people working 5 days in office again.

The reason I am convinced is because there is no clear value proposition to even being in office two days "mandatory", which tells me that it is not really a gesture of flexibility but rather of temporary appeasement.

What do you think?
And people who can afford it just feel a sense of entitlement because they have purchased something. And it is a resource we all own and have already paid for. We should have a basic right to access that resource. The problem is when people take more than their fair share. In the centre of London that could be driving 1 mile a day. We should give a free tier and then ramp up prices exponentially after that. The more you use the resource the more it costs per mile.
I'm sure NN could be helpful, I'm just saying I would rather fix the root cause. There's a lot of problems with the ISP monopoly that NN can't address, for example, the relatively high costs for shitty service.

Being on-call is hard, and letting your pager load get out of control really sucks.

We ran a short project to reduce our pager load, and found some good, low-hanging fruit to reduce our pager load while still being confident we'd know when things went wrong.

Have other people ran similar projects? What worked well?
Not really. The existence of nuclear weapons makes the game theory of WWII largely irrelevant. People who have continually compared the situation to Hitler’s invasion of Poland are in large part Americans who are unable to draw on other historical events for better comparisons, and are seeking to virtue signal.
I'm in the same boat. Pay me half of what a typical Google engineer makes and I'll still join, as long as I can be permanently remote. You'd have to pay me more to commute and another huge bump to compensate for being in an office.

From the photos that've come out, this seems unlikely, unless they were all ordered below decks to fight the fire. It stayed afloat, listing but upright, for hours, with the life rafts deployed in calm seas and nearby supporting vessels. I don't doubt people died in the strike and the fire, but loss of entire crew seems unlikely.

This is a beautiful article, but I feel that it should be read as a chronicle of the author's life experience rather than an analysis on when to have your children.
The age at which couples are having their children is Indeed increasing; this isn't necessarily a bad thing. As the author pointed out, parents are more likely to have time to spend with their children if they've already established a career/source of income. They'll automatically also have better resources to care for them (babysitter/schooling/literally everything else). On top of all that, they'll have more life experience, which should help in the education of their offspring.
Besides, what are the alternatives ? Having your children at a young age has the only major benefit of being young. And if your remain healthy throughout your life, I believe the benefit of being young remains irrelevant.
There is basically no difference between the two people. Hello from Kyiv.
This is why Ukrainians fight so hard, and will never surrender: their parents grew up under Russian oppression, they've been living in freedom for 30 years, and they do not want their children to grow up under similar oppression as their parents.

Not to mention that Russian state media has basically declared every Ukrainian who isn't actively helping Russia, to be "Nazis", and they should all be killed or put to slave labour. That's an outright call to massive genocide. Ukrainians have no option but to fight.

> Pai's argument for repealing net neutrality was that it wasn't a Federal government concern. That was originally what prompted California to institute these rules. But suddenly it wasn't a state issue either.

It's pretty wild - it's absolutely a federal concern because it is utterly impractical to enact & enforce state-by-state... but they (Pai & co) know that.
I agree with you wholeheartedly, but I don’t understand why limit it only to Russians.

At this same moment USA, Turkey and Saudi Arabia are involved directly in illegal aggression against multiple sovereign states, fully supported by many other NATO members. They were responsible for much more death yearly than Russia in this war, yet nobody seems to care.

Is it because USA do it to spread democracy? Then what about Turkey? They used word for word exactly the same justification to invade Kurds in Syria.

Where’s the outrage about other wars.

Either condemn all wars, or stop pretending you care about people affected by wars.

I wonder what 30-40 something hacker news user would like, if I solely go by making generalized assumptions and stereotypes.

- Alcoholic beverage of some kind

- Maybe a first edition of some book they like; Maybe a movie poster they used to own when they were in college

- Boutique mechanical keyboard

- Handmade wallet

- Semi professional/Podcasting microphone

- A bag coffee that has a novelty story attached to it

- A mug that has some kind of dad joke like humor to it

- Fountain pen and a diary (Everyone knows how much HN is into notetaking stuff!)

That's about it really. At the end of the day, give any of these stuff to anyone in HN but try to tell a story behind that. They will be happy. :)
Well, there clearly is a conflict going on in Ukraine. But I don’t think the media is on my side. They are with the powerful, which have every incentive to lie to me to justify the inflation, escalation of the conflict, etc.

You still haven't defined "large scale" or "better". And you haven't backed up your argument with any evidence.
I dunno, by that metric you might expect “not using social media” to be enormously popular.
