Is your take that Microsoft should offer this for free? Or if they are not willing to do it for free, Microsoft should cancel this service and we should wait for Apache or someone else to offer the service?

Or something else ?
As people are pointing out, the rate of orbital decay does matter (even if it's not a "plummet"!) -- because everyone concerned knows that solar activity should be increasing to some extent in 2022 as a new solar cycle takes hold.

This plot of sunspot activity, and the (highly correlated) 10.7cm radio flux, indicates that the current cycle (cycle #25) is rising much faster than typical:

https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/solar-cycle-progression

As you can see, cycle #24, which ended in 2019, was quieter than expected (annoying to solar physicists who only see a few cycles within their whole career) -- so it's actually very interesting that Cycle #25 is starting out with a bang.

NOAA is the main US government agency tasked with monitoring/predicting solar activity for the protection of ground and space systems. The main facility is the Space Weather Prediction Center which is in Boulder, CO -- that's the data source of the above plots. The SWPC centerpiece used to be a control room with a bunch of people looking at computer monitors filled with various real-time and historical time series.

We don't know why some cycles are less intense, and the last few cycles have generally been on a downward trend (e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle#Sunspots). So again, it is indeed quite interesting to see this high activity - if it holds up.
Because at some point, the $9.50/hr job at Taco Bell will run its course, and your child will end up with severely limited resources. Together with a lack of funding and poor health care options, your children will probably return back home to "evaluate their situation". At that point, they will start wondering why they have been left behind in society, why the system is rigged against them, etc.

As we all know (and frequently discussed here on HN), a minimal wage job results in limited housing options, limited healthcare options, limited educational options, etc. As a parent, it is my responsibility to prepare my children to become self sufficient beyond the minimum wage job. For the sake of themselves and their children.

Not here to comment on the general topic of his post, but to point out that asserting that "none of these graphics contain even a glancing reference to gender" when several include the common symbols for male and female is disingenuous.
A lot of people have the exact same story. First few times, time slows down. Next few years it's a good time, then after that you have a good chance of developing an anxiety disorder from weed. At that point people usually stop doing it because it doesn't get any better.

If only some research was done on the long term affects before legalizing it. Instead now we're doing a population wide experiment.
it's not really aimed at governments, so much as corporations that feel entitled to sneak in ancillary interests into their products, like surveilling the public. basically, it's to force companies like microsoft to remove all that other shit and provide just the core software, if they want access to government largess. this has beneficial externalities for us, the residents of said governments.
Gun control measures historically were used to prevent nonwhites from bearing arms. The pro-gun side is well aware of this and frequently uses this as proof that the Democratic Party is racist.
> Places with Gun Control today have higher crime rates including expectation of death by gun than those that are Gun Friendly.

Note the why is very important here. My hypothesis is that guns from Gun friendly places being funneled into Gun Control places. A solution would be banning all guns to decrease the amount of gun deaths. This, however, is not a practical solution politically for various reasons.
I have no idea what it is you're trying to say but I did laugh that your username is clarity! :)
I really don’t know why this is getting downvoted like so, but in case it’s the “rec” comment, I am of course aware that rec stands for record, I meant to suggest the alternate meaning may be a pun. If this is lame or wrong or offensive for some other reason, I’m curious and open to feedback.
Why do you have to be sympathetic to the client in order to also condemn Google? If someone was selling bleach as a cure for autism through a network of distributors, do you have to be sympathetic to the distributors in order to condemn the manufacturer?
That's not how it works here.

I created yet another place for me to store all my own bookmarks: https://link.horse

I mostly wanted to be able to categorize bookmarks within multiple tags, and easily be able to save them, using a bookmarklet.
They would need to remove all code that isn't put in the public domain from their training data. Permissive licenses like MIT require derivatives to propagate the copyright notice, which Copilot does not do.
I like it. It still carries a little bit of whimsy and puts a smile on my face (while nodding).
Amazing! Great ideia about how to get a email list without provide any quality content!

> I don’t understand the thought process of putting someone down based on what they do for a living

Discounting the counter productive condescension required to be the one putting the other guy down, we should all be honest with a simple fact: any typical software dev (just talking about what I know) can succeed at a gas station job while the reverse is not true.
This obviously does not afford the software dev the right to be a jerk to anybody (up or down the ladder).
> Its actually good that we may not have the industrial capacity to supply large scale conflicts for great lengths of time.

If WW1 Germany and France had the industrial capacity then any modern developed country does. The dislocation will just be more wrenching. Dislocation can include losing the war.
> Also, it is unlikely that compiling to WASM will be more effective than to native code because browser cannot afford spending as much time on optimization as a native compiler.

No reason whatever compiles the code to wasm can’t perform all the expensive optimizations and the wasm execution environment just runs it.

In fact, I would be very disappointed in a tool that didn’t run optimization passes over the code while it still had the language specific information to inform the optimizer.

Then you just pass the multi-megabyte wasm payload over to the browser to render your static content — all’s still good in the webdev world.

> Even if creating a collision were feasible for an attacker, Bjarmason pointed out, that is only the first step in the development of a successful attack. Finding a collision of any type is hard; finding one that is still working code, that has the functionality the attacker is after, and that looks reasonable to both humans and compilers is quite a bit harder — if it is possible at all.

Sounds like there's money in this.
What is wrong with someone making a little dough. It is just numbers in database.
That's the problem with GDPR. A lot of people are fine with this arrangement, but the GDPR is basically making it unlawful. GDPR is basically imposing the preferences of other people (e.g. progman32) on us.
> ah, the ad hominem, never a good sign for the proceeding argument.

An ad hominem means using an insult as the basis for rejecting an argument, e.g. 'that is wrong because you are [attack]'. Saying an argument is naive and then explaining why is not an ad hominem.
Satiate me semantically please sir
> You would already not be spying on them.

Can you point me to the part of the ban that says it's about protecting users from "spying in general" and not "protecting users from spying by US companies instead of EU companies that EU member states can obtain PII from at any time"?
They don't have to, it depends on the reader/viewer. Stephen King says pretty much the same about adaptations of his own work...however badly they've butchered "The Stand" on TV, it hasn't changed the original book.
It means the person you originally replied to was correct to call it a "danger", because while it doesn't preclude the possibility of success as you noted, it does make it less likely for a given individual.
I wish it was easier to create "snapshots" of a particular set of environment variables in order to use them later as run environments. I also wish that Unix desktop environments generally made it easier to manage env vars, but that's another complaint. And don't get me started on PAM env vars...
But! You will be more likely to accept the world as it is - thus making it legal everywhere has great benefits. Mostly for ruling bodies.

Exactly! You bring a great point with promo panels where the difference between the amount of time put into building a promo package and the amount of time the panel spend on it can be considerable (my experience at Twitter).

I think when it comes to per-seat pricing, it's good to remember that engineers don't put the credit card in. The person with the credit card will want to know ROI before investing. The engineers will want to try out first as a group and if their experience is positive (some of it might be subjective) then they'll need to build a case for why the company should pay for your product and that's where analytics can be leveraged for sales.
Netflix started to disrupt Hollywood, but it looks like Hollywood figured out how to manage Netflix. Rumours abound of conflict between the tech branch and content branchs (which is mostly Hollywood types now) of the company.
I use watt when I want to compare power, and watt*hour when dealing with energy. Hours because hours are a lot closer to the real spans of time I use, and therefore much easier to calculate with. E.g. it's more common to run a 3kW AC for 3h than 3s. So, 9 kWh instead of 9 kWs (or 180kWs, for the same time span)

> If you're going to multiply by the electricity cost anyway

I don't usually convert to money. If it's a linear cost per kWh, then I can deal with that at the end or, more likely, don't actually really care.

The _actual_ cost you pay is often tiered anyway, so who knows what the price _actually_ is until you have the whole month's worth of power usage finalized. And then it's not clear what I could account to what tier.

> might as well break out the calculator one step early.

Bold to assume I use a calculator much.

For some reason my brain just can't seem to remember what's "ours" and what's "theirs" when resolving merge conflicts. Like which one represents what was in the working copy and which one represents the data I'm trying to merge. I'd much prefer absolute terms rather than those relative ones.

i mean, that's like asking how is it possible to compartmentalize anything. as elaborated elsewhere, it isn't about literally separating all interests, just those that harm the public. it's about removing the negative externalies that companies like google impose on us via such government contracts.
Is there something special about GitHub on this? This seems like a Git issue and not a GitHub issue to me; unless I'm missing something.
My last-but-one start-up found it easier to raise funds and get attention in a downturn than otherwise, because there were fewer others competing for attention. Don't assume that doing something different is necessarily harder when mainstream is finding things hard.

Moderation is key here, I believe. If you’re looking at successful people who get high all the time, it’s safe to assume they increased their marijuana (or any other substance) intake after having a skill they’re really good at. Most don’t and that’s why we see a correlation with drugs and being not good at much.
libgit2 isn't an official library, and even if it did support sha256 dependents would still need to update, so I really don't perceive this as a missing piece.

If everyone started using sha256 then all these problems would be addressed practically overnight.

I agree. He's not so much being penalized for his private beliefs, but for taking a political stand. In fact, his current career consists of political advocacy. No matter how right or wrong he may be, that's a risky business. Especially when he's going against a very vocal and aggressive faction whose ideas are currently in ascendance.
People who ruined their lives with hard work and stress to make a billionaire richer while buying a useless polluting fancy car and big house, also have regrets.
I worked on code signing for civilian aviation years ago and there were people trying to pressure me into supporting MD5 and SHA-1 signatures. I told the first group to jump off a cliff, and the second group got a firm no. The first papers on theoretical SHA-1 attacks had already been published, we were still a couple years out from active use, and people were already beginning to talk about starting to organize the SHA-3 process.

Once a system expects to handle SHA-1, then you have to deal with old assets that have deprecated signatures, and that's a fight I 1) didn't want to have and 2) was fairly sure I wouldn't be around to win.

Git was still brand new, largely unproven at that point, and I don't understand why he picked SHA-1.
True, but we're talking about fully internal systems here, where one party is in control of both the client and server.
yes, for tagged unions specifically, (which the linked post refers to for that row) Nim raises an exception at runtime when trying to access the wrong field, (or trying to change the discriminant)
I don't know man, "thegatewaypundit.com" as a top reputable source? seems to me like it's not "honest two-sided results" but just, well, a rather random mix of result of widely varying quality. Mad Altavista vibes!

Sounds like a confused author or potentially an implementation-driven architectural decision (eg. regulatory or policy requirement, direct map from exposed states of a prior implementation that had been black box reverse engineered, etc.). AFAIK the normal way to implement state machines in embedded since ages yore is to use interlocking networks of state machines per isolate subsystem. At least, that's what I do and that's what seems natural in C and assembly where concerns such as manual memory management, code re-use and programmer cognitive load would all tend toward such an architecture. What was the hardware?
Same here and with many friends. It goes from time slowing down, to a few years of fun times, then anxiety, at which point many people stop doing it. Though I've seen people keep going and develop full scale paranoia, thinking that everything is a conspiracy.

I get the feeling most ppl keep tons and tons of tabs open these days. Browsers keep having to reduce the workload of background tabs, and have even added some UX features like tab grouping and pinning. And then there's the success of tab manager browser extensions...
I'm not particularly well versed in SE, though I've watched many videos and listened to many podcasts. I feel like the example of a favorite sports team is ineffective because all practical conversations are around a belief that is substantive and meaningful to how one lives their life (with some detours to understand the nature of reality, such as the Tic Tac test).

So instead, maybe somebody says they don't trust vaccines because they know someone whose kid was diagnosed with autism after getting vaccinated. A potential follow-up question might be, "Do you know anyone who was diagnosed but who didn't get vaccinated?" Or a hypothetical, "What if you met someone who was diagnosed but who didn't get vaccinated? Would that change your belief?"

Getting them to work their own way through their beliefs - not necessarily to change said beliefs but to examine them - is the point. And given what I feel can be some REALLY far out beliefs than people have, I think it's normal to see SE practitioners sometimes lose their cool a bit or have their opinions/beliefs show.
So this effect is caused by more solar wind slamming into the atmosphere at 100’s of km/hr and is so powerful that it’s CAUSING THE ATMOSPHERE TO HEAT UP AND EXPAND?

Google: 118M results. Top link is the best resource on verified election fraud cases.

Yandex: 9M results. The top two links are pretty suspect. Top link promotes Dinesh D'Souza's 2000 Mules documentary in the banner which at best is a one-sided take on election fraud. At worst, very misleading.

Truncated sha256 is safer than sha-1 (depending of course on how much you truncate it, but given context lets assume truncating to size of sha-1 - 160 bits).

SHA-1 is quite broken at this point. SHA-256 is not. There aren't any practical non-generic attacks on full sha-256 and thus there wouldn't be any on the truncated version. The Wikipedia article goes into the different attacks on the two algorithms.

That said, if your concern is length extension attacks - strongly reccomend using sha-512/256 instead of trying to do your own custom thing.
That's already the case in 43 states of the Union, with 74% of the population. So the Karens and Kens in 7 states with a quarter of the population will just have to get with the program.

"If public safety has broken down (why else go about armed?), fair's fair."

You need to be more explicit in what you're insinuating in your last couple of words there.

But you're also making a massive inversion mistake. going about armed is one way to avoid having public safety break down, "when seconds count, the police are minutes away."

Can the government own a BMW bus?
I don't know the precise details of what Andrew has in mind but the compiler can know how much memory is required for this kind of operation at compile time. This is different from normal heap allocation where you only know how much memory is needed at the last minute.

At least in simple cases, this means that the memory for escaped variables could be allocated all at once at the beginning of the program not too differently to how the program allocates memory for the stack.
