> it's necessary to have padding defeat the problem you're about to talk about

There is no way it's "necessary" to avoid that particular problem, yet at the same time unnecessary to avoid length extension attacks.

> As you might have guessed, this is not how it works.

That's a weirdly hostile way to respond to a clearly counterfactual thought experiment.

> and thus there must be collisions by the pigeon hole principle, it really is that simple

Except they didn't just say there must be collisions in SHA-256, by my reading they were making an argument that the method of appending padding and stuff doesn't matter.
arma3 - 9 years old - still get 40fps in multiplayer on an RTX2080.

Its hilariously badly optimised but so inutterably brilliant that there is nothing* else that compares, it's a genre of 1* - kind of ironic that the game I really look forwards to playing after I upgrade backend of this year next will be a decade old.
It's not trying to be disingenuous.

I ran a cycling forum and thought it could be without politics, but cyclists died in road traffic incident in London that turned out to be predominantly female cyclists due to heavy goods vehicles, and over time I had to relent... it is policies that shape the city planning, the construction industry regulations (trucks with significant blind spots)... and that these deaths were preventable, people were right to be angry, and that a cycling forum couldn't exist without a political element.

I ran a music forum and thought it could be without politics, but music is art and art reflects the feelings of those on council estates and in poverty, with hard backgrounds, and addictions. They are shaped by their environment and through the art attempt to document and also shape those environments. Even for a mostly apolitical band a single song touched upon rape and opened the door to debates on rape culture and the low prosecution rate and the even lower reporting rate. A music forum that tried it's best to avoid politics couldn't exist without a political element.

And here on hacker news, that new app that is in the YC batch that allows someone to sofa surf... that's political but you just didn't know it at the time. AirBnB and so many other companies, apps, tools... have leveraged the gaps in local policies and law to fuel their margins and stock value. It is very difficult to say that even this site could exist without a political element when a lot of the technology and companies that have come about it impact so many people globally in ways that only political and legal tools can protect. I don't really believe this site can exist without a political element.

The only question (IMHO) is whether those discussions can be conducted civilly, with respect and openness, non-adversarially, and with empathy as much as possible.
The repo linked answers this question.

And why should it be insurance company's problem if the driver weren't in car operating it? They are still themselves liable and can be sued for damages. Which I think is the more correct route. My and other insurance payers shouldn't be responsible to funding Tesla's fuck-ups. Or their owners idiocy and laziness...

Running resource intensive JUnit tests in the cloud
I was wondering whether I’m the only one who’s had the misfortune of having to deal with those pesky JUnit tests that take humongous resources to run. A little brief about why they’re intensive: certain tests spawn an instance of MongoDB, Redis, and then populate this with some data for testing, and THEN the actual tests run (expensive test harness, but worth it IMHO). The good part is that they do test stuff thoroughly :)

However, when they run, some need like 4 GB worth of memory, and consume a lot of CPU. My MacBook Pro heats up quite a bit, and then slows down to the point where I’m unable to do something else while these tests run (they run for a few minutes). Running everything in Jenkins (or something similar) isn’t really feasible, since it runs all tests from all modules, with some Sonar integration as well. That round trip is about 30 minutes or so, and doesn’t let me iterate fast enough.

Since I’m using IntelliJ, I decided to spawn up a c5.2xlarge instance on AWS, and use that as an SSH run target for IntelliJ. The IDE is able to run tests remotely in the cloud, while still making the entire experience feel like it’s running locally (yay!). However, this came with some management overhead of an AWS account, and the lifecycle of the instance in order not to pay an upwards of $250+ per month. My hack was to shutdown the instance at the top of the hour (crontab), and then write an SSH proxy command that would turn on the instance in case if it was offline.

To that end, I created a platform to address this particular use case, without the management overhead, and promote ease of use for other Java developers. It’s called RemoteRun (https://remoterun.co), and makes running resource intensive JUnit tests in the cloud easy :)

I’d love to have people who face such issues over, and give it a go!
Doesn't even need to be nitrogen, while that gives better possible OC there are easier to handle liquid gasses in common use (liquid ammonia).

Though ammonia is somewhat unpleasant (and toxic) it's also common in industrial refrigeration so supplies are steady and it's cheap - in a DC environment solvable.

Not something I'd fuck with at home though.
And I am so happy that HN is as simple as it is. Makes browsing it so pleaseant in general. The only feature I am missing for large discusions: a way of tracking which part of the discussion I already have read. Revisiting a large discussion sometimes later currently means a lot of duplicate reading.

Otherwise I prefer the web format of HN a lot against all other similar forums.
Society, "Why don't you move to a cheaper place to live?"

Answer, "I've lived in this county for years. My youth is pretty much gone. I barely have saving for this months rent, let alone moving expenses to a new city. Plus--the few friends I kinda have are my only emotional, and sometimes financial support ("Could I borrow $300 until next month friend. I have never not payed you back?").

Society, "Just do something. Work on cars? Do non-union construction work?".

Answer, "The rules of my rental agreement state I can't work on any vechicle on their property. The town will fine me overnight parking, and any disabled vechicles. My hand tools are not sufficient. I need a minimum of two jacks, and four jack stands, and my tranny jack. Non-union construction work will not pay my rent, let alone any bills."

Society, "The immigrants seems happy? Come on dude? You seem like a entitled American?"

Answer, "Many have a support system. Many pool their money. I have no one to pool my resources with."

Society, "Move back home?".

Answer, "There is no home to move back to."

Society, "Don't you have family to help you out?"

Answer, "I do, but they arn't in much better shape than me."

Society, "I just don't get it. You are brighter than me, but you are so pathetic?"

Answer, "I just don't feel well. I tried Prozac, Escitalopram, Klonopin, Lexapro, the isomer to Lexapro, Trazadone (could end up in an icu with a needle in your brain due to a bad reaction), tri-cyclic antidepressants, off labeled Bupenorpine for depression (which works at first, but then you are just addicted. Small studies done, and not long term. I doubt placebo controlled.), and all the other medications I see on tv. My sleep is reversed, and I just lost hope, but haven't given up."

Society, "Don't forget about Therapy? Therapy did wonders for my mother. She has no desire to shop-lift from Nordstrum's anymore.". (Nordstrom's looks up your buying habits before filing charges with the authorities. Doctor's wives are never turned in. Minorities are handed over with glee. Off topic--sorry.)

Answer, "I was till tapping the register at work to pay for the visits. After 6 months, I was no better. The therapist said, "But it takes years of Therapy to get better! Just hang in there!"

(THIS IS NOT ME. I own a home. I just have known too many homeless individuals. Seen a few Programmers age out of the industry, and end up in a thicket of Scotch Broom. Cops wake them up. A locked porta potty greets them after the wake-up call. It's not just loosing a job. It's having an emotional hiccup in your 20's. Life is very fragile for certain people. They are usually to proud to tell anyone until it becomes to late, and when they'd o reach out, their is usually zero real help.)

I’m not sure which part of the GP comment you’re responding to here. No one is suggesting inequality can't also be a problem, but this doesn’t negate a lot of the growth being positive-sum.

Consider a country like Switzerland where I lived, which still has a good amount of inequality (though perhaps less than the US), or based on the Gini coefficient Germany (which by this metric is more unequal than the US) [1]. The base standard is high enough that even lower middle class Germans tend to have better lives with a higher purchasing power than many middle-class people in less wealthy developed countries such as Spain, and the inequality in Germany compared to someplace like Spain then isn’t a concern for their absolute quality of life. Of course, relative quality of life can pose psychological concerns, but that’s separate to positive vs. zero-sum growth.

> Americans are always commenting about how unusually clean Canada is, but Canada is actually quite ordinary. That's how first world countries normally look.

To be fair, the US is incredibly varied in this due in part to the inequality, and someplace like the UK seems to have a large number of cities I find especially dirty even from a US perspective. I would say urban Canada is notably better than the first-world country average.

I think the convention is to use “” to give a general quote; > to quote a comment in thread.

And, on the content, HN isn’t filled with indifferent people. But we need to have places for politics and places to avoid politics. Indifference is different from deference—deference to the context.
Ya, I am currently on the hunt for CM4s for a weird restoration project. But haven't found any yet. I was lucky for the 4 that I have.

I'm not sure it does make everyone more relaxed. It's a signal that there's a danger around so heightens tension. In the UK I'd guess that less than 10% of people are still wearing masks based on observation so when the culture of mask wearing goes it seems likely that most people relax.

I think it’s a legitimate point. If something is a public square, banning certain viewpoints from it is a huge deal.

Either Twitter is a private company and they can ban whoever they want for whatever reasons they want, or they’re a public square and we need to make sure that everyone can read the tweets they want to read.

I’m fine with either option, but I’d prefer a little less hypocrisy from everyone who praised Twitter when they banned certain accounts. You can still follow terrorist groups on Twitter but the previous US president is banned. That is insane, and I don’t care how many people disagree with that statement. It’s still true.
I think HN needs to figure out how to expand the moderation team in a transparent way. The risk of course is introducing all the reddit-esque drama around moderator selection, abuse etc. Stackoverflow has had similar issues, though somehow stumbles along better than reddit. Regardless, there have been some huge thread recently that would have benefited from moderation.
That’s fine though. It’s ok to have communities with shared interests and goals. Sometimes that means keeping out people who prefer something different. That’s ok too; they can start a forum for their community and impose whatever conditions they like. HN is just an Internet forum. It’s not a massive social media platform or a country where exclusionary rules can be damaging to large populations.
Not a good heuristic for me as it would make me skip most of the science stuff. For example the Webb space telescope. It certainly won't have any impact of my life.
That is true. The game I worked on was also on PS4 and Xbox One, which are both somewhat similar in architecture to a PC (at least in terms of CPU performance), just slower. If we could make the game perform well on the XB1, we knew it most likely would do well on PS4 and PC as well. But you're right, there could be PC-specific issues that would only show up on low-spec PCs.

In previous console generations things were harder back then as each platform's code was more different than now.

'Formerly it was just the U.S. footing the lion share of the NATO bill.'

This is quite unfair portrayal of the situation. It is always portrayed as if US is paying biggest share of the tab - like if we were all paying for shared commitments.

However in reality it's more everyone going out for a fancy dinner and one guy buying loads of dishes that turn out to taste terrible, or are left uneaten - and then bragging abiut paying the most. You can imagine that the budget would be quote a bit smaller without the war in Iraq, which was tremendously expensive, so was F-22 programm and littoral combat ship programms that came to nothing, etc. Clearly we have spent a lot of money bombing some poor people that should have never been harmed, and creating regime change that turned out to be a mistake.

Like does anyone remember that time US installed a Fashist regime in Greece?

Dont forget thaylt Nato's budget, without US, is still larger than Russia's or China's - i am not sure how much is enough, but there is still a lot of rich countries spending money.
> I live with 100€ per month and currently looking for a job, because I bearly make ends meet.

In your situation, I wouldn't spend any money on books.

1. Use a library if there's one available to you.

2. There's tonnes of free books online - if you want fiction, project Gutenberg is full of older books; and every technical/CS/math topic has great free textbooks that you can download.

3. Pirating - I wouldn't feel guilty about it at all if I were in your situation.
I think your solution is flawed if it can't notice all objects in the box directly front of the vehicle. I would expect that to be one of minimum requirements, does the vehicle try to enter in "holes" smaller than itself.
Here in bangalore after fuel prices shot up everyone is buying electric scooters and bikes left and right. I used to only occasionally finding electric vehicles but these days I see a lot of them and none of them are cars. E-bikes, e-scooters, E-trikes, E-buses, E-minivans but no electric cars
A proof of concept 'is a realization of a certain method or idea in order to demonstrate its feasibility'.

The article presents an 'inventive step' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inventive_step_and_non-obvious...) in the form of a POC which nobody should use, and so I don't know what it accomplishes, really.

+1 for C++ though.
This was a really great read.

There's a few comments here saying something akin to "No, design trends are totally random, some hotshots decide they want to be different and then everyone else mindlessly follows". I got similar feedback when I wrote in an earlier HN comment my take on why flat design is popular now. I actually empathize with the sentiment because it reminds me of how I used to feel about wine tasters. To me, all wine tastes equivalently like poison. So when people express their complex, nuanced wine preferences, it's easy for me to feel like they're pulling something out of their butts, just saying what they think they're supposed to say.

If my taste in everything was similar to my taste in wine, I would probably still believe this. But I've realized that when it comes to UI/UX design, I am one of the pretentious wine tasters. And I don't feel like I'm making stuff up or mindlessly following trends. The trends genuinely make sense to me; I think they'd happen in the same order in a parallel universe. Design is an optimization problem, and sometimes new technologies or patterns of human behavior change the optimal path for a wide spectrum of products, leading to trends, or what this author calls "vibe shifts".

Of course there are mindless trend followers, just as there are people who parrot opinions on wine they didn't really form themselves. They may be the majority. But they don't disprove the existence of something real.
Yes, Hackernews really needs a revamp in terms of viewing threads and commenting. The old reddit style would work quite well in my opinion.
> Food is an incredibly substitutable market, you'd expect the market to push prices down to a minimum.

This is largely the reason why we have subsidies for farming: we're not okay with substituting domestic agriculture for foreign imports, due to the risks involved. Consider the case of manufacturing, which is also a largely substitutable market.

In the late 20th and early 21st century, the USA hollowed out loads of our manufacturing hubs in pursuit of lower prices, and this worked as advertised; costs dropped! With circumstances changing and a desire to perform more domestic manufacturing, though, we've lost a lot of our options. The USA has lost a lot of manufacturing nous and industry momentum, meaning that there's a lot of upstart cost to get back into the game.

While subsidizing an industry may not be efficient from a global market perspective, it can be very sensible from a national policy perspective, since it means that you can build an experienced workforce and institutional knowledge within a given domain.
Perhaps there would be some value to extending the allowable length for titles, but having a soft limit equal to (or even slightly less than) the current one? If over the soft limit there could be a message that it's preferable to shorten titles to under that length if it can be done without losing useful information.

In theory that way you still get titles shortened where possible, but don't have to wrestle with this kind of issue. Of course the cost is added complexity, so likely not worth it. Maybe just increase the limit then?
I have to say I have not experienced this, the opposite actually in that I have posted some articles that were shut down quite quickly because they had a political aspect. I personally am a little upset about it because if you cannot discuss political things it indicates a weakness in the platform, but on the other hand maybe it is necessary to avoid it to keep HN relatively amicable.

Came here to post exactly this :D I also have the collection of Microhobby magazines I copied game listings for, and learned programming by osmosis at a very young age :)
In my experience, the question "Why not just do X?" can have 2 intentions and interpretations.

One meaning is "Obviously X is the better solution, and you're dumb for not doing X".
The other meaning is "Naively, X would seem to be a solution, but I assume you have good reasons for not doing X. Could you please elaborate why you didn't do X, so I can learn something?"

I can't speak for other people, but when I ask a question like that, my intention is to learn something. However, many people seem to interpret it in the "you're dumb" way. I've also trained myself to receive that kind of questions in the kindest way possible - i.e. in the "learn something" interpretation. It tends to lead to much more civil conversations and less drama.

Look at it this way : if mr. Pleacher hadn't written the Carnation company "why don't you use a 1:1 ratio?", you and I wouldn't have learned these interesting things about cat food canning.

So my advice : when somebody asks "why don't you just do X", assume they understand you have good reasons, and want to learn.
On the other hand, when asking a question like that, realise most people won't have that interpretation. Make it clear you understand there are probably good reasons, and you'd just like to understand them.
Same here, still have mine too and sometimes play a bit with it for old times' sake. I still remember how mesmerised I was when an uncle let me play with his Spectrum, and how happy I was when I got my own for my 10th birthday and my dad made me work through the basic manual.
The extra cooling means extremely inefficient power-wise. The power gains are not linear.

So past 1st to ring the bell, e.g. some high frequency trading setups - it makes absolutely no sense at all, otherwsise. Now the real kicker is that such overclocked setups are inherently unstable - so no mass deployment for you.
