Reminiscent of Sosumi, the famous Mac alert sound inviting a lawsuit from the Beatles [1]

I've had this happen to me. Ended up with three work computers after waiting a week after my start date to get one. It was a temporary gig and they were paying me regardless, so no skin off of my back...but it was endlessly frustrating for my boss and I had multiple IT people tied up for hours trying to resolve everything.

Edit: I also left another position at another company (to move to a different position at the same company) mostly because it meant I would get a new computer instead of one that would take 20 minutes to boot (and required mid-day reboots as well)
When someone has developed a remarkable approach that could be considered almost like the textbook guidelines that others could learn from, that's when someone else with meaningful subject interest needs to follow them around with a clipboard until there's enough juicy content for a book, and edit it for publication together.

More likely to disseminate best practices much sooner than waiting for a mission-critical operator to have time to write it themselves.
Yep. I would be 3x as productive if I was given hardware and software which was fit for purpose.

I have actually been unable to work at all for 17 days this year so far due to stupid issues caused by poorly tested changes or having to wait for tickets to be cleared.

But I give less of a fuck these days. I can do other things and still be paid.
The article just kept saying look how good we are. We are the best. We are the world leader. Then provided zero details on what they were up to. This article is not worth the 2 minute read.
Probably cults freedoms are tolerated for votes
Yes, Putin is a piece of shit, unfortunately.
This is going too far in the other direction. There are absolutely people who have mastered e.g. Java, CPP or whatever with language-specific knowledge. Being an expert on JVM internals won't boil through to Haskell.
Honestly for middle America, they’d rather reduce the population. Just not their population.
> Why not go after the church itself?

Allegedly, the shooter's original target was an official of the church.

> I personally feel there’s something more to this — gross negligence or a conspiracy idk.

This is an official who has been out of power for a while now, and is known to be in declining health, at a local event, in a country where political violence has been low in recent years, and a country with exceptionally low crime rates. You could totally imagine security being lax and complacent given the circumstances.
HTTPS isn't a panacea for all security issues. It ensures that when you connect to website.com, you'll get whatever website.com sends to you, without anyone else eavesdropping and tampering with the connection.

HTTPS doesn't prevent you from going to weebsite.com. There are other security measures for that, but it's also your responsibility to check.
basically a glorified monarchy, then, since rich families have access to better ads/PR around their candidacies
Fair.

One of the tricky things about that is that "jew" is both a religion (presumed to be a "by choice affiliation") as well as ethnicity (less "by choice" affiliation), as well as culture and sometimes nationality.

If I say "people who believe in loch Ness are gullible", that's viewed as ok in most places. Saying "Germans are gullible" is less likely to be true or acceptable. Saying "Christians are gullible" will depend on location - even most freedom of speech democracies will have blasphemy laws and cultures where they protect belief in Jesus in ways they do not protect belief in Yeti (I clearly have an opinion on that :).

Saying "Jews are gullible" will probably be viewed as anti semitic due to history, pattern, likelihood, as well as the confluence of what the word itself means. "Jew" is such a massive Venn diagram.

FWIW Ultimately I believe (and I'm sometimes lonely in that) that intent rather than keywords are important. I chose to gave benefit of doubt to poster (perhaps mistakenly).
I remember learning mergesort as a beginner was a really eye-opening experience. Going through the progression of sorting algorithms seems like a perfect way to showcase the power of algorithms- they are easy to implement and are used everywhere. It's easy to forget how magical recursive algorithms are to the uninitiated.

Same. Most sites should shut comments off. People would share links with their actual friends and family rather than rant like children at anonymous strangers.

This it, everyone. Take away all the words and your literal routine is it until the end.

Human languages are 5,000 years old, while human intuition for quantity; enough food, heat, shelter, has evolved with us for millions of years. I find the human gibberish exhausting, and useless. Anyone else wants to pull out Marx they’re going in front of a bus.

You all are going to wake up, do some utilitarian work, goto bed. Stfu, please.
I think the 1980s were considered a pretty good time for the US as a whole, and he was ranked pretty highly in this list [0], indeed nobody has beaten him yet.

Cynicism may fool people lacking adequate life experience, but it is no substitute for actual competence.
If you give me one time payment like that, it goes in the bank and I don't think about it because it doesn't significantly change anything.

If you give that same amount to someone in poverty, at best they pay down some debts but it doesn't significantly change anything. They are typically in a financial hole and that doesnt fill the whole but might reduce the depth a little.
yes, somethingawful was a very unique site. Especially under clever writes like Frolixo, whose humor I still miss. It was a kind of humor that was mildly abrasive yet not too much as to be toxic. You just sort of knew it was humor. I guess the site is still up, but last time I checked it had lost its funny.
A lot of companies have teams dedicated to hardware that don’t give a shit about it. And their managers don’t give a shit.

Then the people under them who do give a shit, because they depend on those servers, aren’t allowed to register with HP etc for updates, or to apply firmware updates, because “separation of duties”.

Basically, IT is cancer from the head down.
a ham sandwich could have accomplished what he did. Rather, probably could have accomplished more than him. he was so incompetent that he probably accomplished less Republican agenda than if a lobotomized generic Republican candidate was in his stead. any generic Republican president would have been able to appoint the same Supreme Court judges. he changed nothing about this calculus after getting elected.

essentially, I believe almost any other person other than him could have accomplished more towards the Republican agenda than he did. it's almost unprecedented how little he did in spite of the power the Republicans had in 2016.
Kids consume more energy pound for pound than adults with regards to food. There’s also all the associated products that go along with raising children, many of which aren’t handed down, etc.

Thanks for pointing out the licensing, we'll need to check it out.
Tesla could make an open API at just let whoever capture the profits.

Then owners could group together on their own terms to get market power.
The name should be read as The Monitor, owned by Christian Scientists. Christian Scientist is a specific sect. Monitor here is like any other newspaper name, it could be The Christian Science Times, or Christian Science Observer
AM in Europe is non existent.

I sometimes switch to AM my car radio and launch the discovery mode. I get two or three stations, only one being barely understandable.

I have no idea why AM is still present here, nobody has used it for decades.
Maybe search with DDG with your ad blocker off? The first 75% of the page was ads for me.
Then it will be that we need to stop pretending that we can limit global warming to 1.8ºC, then 2.0ºC, 2.5ºC, 4ºC, that we can avoid billions to die and that we had since the start clear that the survivors will have to live in this bunkers.

We still have to do everything in our hands to limit the damage, as aggressively as possible. It is an existential threat if left unchecked, or letting the biggest offenders keep with their business as usual.

Yes, we can take also measures to adapt or mitigate to some of the incoming (or present) consequences. But that should not take out the urgency nor resources that must be giving to switching to alternative energy sources, lower emissions in general, and massive carbon capture proyects.
You could store a bit of metadata per password. Like an additional salt that you change every time you have to change the password, plus any requirements for generating it. Of course then it is using a kind of a vault.
Experts have no idea what it's like to live in poverty.
What happens? Care to elaborate?
I agree here. Dealing with visa/Mastercard is the worst.
Of course. No one here is denying being an anti-Moonite.

Just like when people here are anti-Google or anti-Apple, they aren't bigots.

Moonies, Google, and Apple, and the Mormon Church and Catholic Church, and unlike Judaism, are specific business organizations with observable behaviors, not a personal belief and lifestyle.
There's nothing exotic in a storage heater. They've been extremely common in UK for many decades.

A resistor, some bricks and some insulation. If anything they are too rudimentary.
Bullshit! Compressed gas energy storage has an easy to calculate, and tiny (single digit %) efficiency due to heat losses (gas heats when compresses, then loses that heat, and thus pressure).
Not necessarily, COBOL is well and alive.
This is the funniest thing I've seen all week. "found giving low-income Americans cash isn’t that helpful ... see no significant difference in bank balances"

Funniest because it proves the complete ignorance of those without poor problems.

Of course there is no more money in the bank. There are dozens of things more important than money in the bank.. the brakes that should of been replaced 8 months ago. The tires that are unsafe. Dental health. Many more.

'We find NO positive effect of cash—if anything, in some prespecified analyses, we even see negative effects.” Apparently the cash infusions added stress'

Of course - it's stressful trying to choose - do you spend the 500 on your kid's teeth or do you get your teeth worked on? Do you spend 500 at the vet or buy healthier food for the family this week. Do you replace your brakes or the tires? Do you fix the brakes or go to the dentists? Do you feed your kids better or stop the parasites sickening the pets. Do you X or Y? Should you Y or Z?

Yes those things are stressful, and certainly more stressful than 'I can't afford any of these things and that's the way it is so stop stressing it' - I'd like to say "Duh!" - but I don't think the high brow harvard study would really get it.

Although I disagree with 'found giving low-income Americans cash isn’t that helpful' - I mean it's stressful - but at least it is helpful in fixing on or two of the life changing things that need fixing - so it is helpful. It's just when you have a dozen life altering debts accruing life changing interest already (deferred maintenance leading towards bigger problems) - a couple grand does not fix all the things that need fixing in the American life.

Maybe there is some other place in the world where you can get all of your healthcare, vehicle maintenance and other necessities all taken care of for $2,000 (?) - maybe those folks could put some money in the bank.
'extremism' is far right, white-is-right extremism in case you were wondering. Nazism has infiltrated the security apparatus of the West
So...state with careful management of a secret?

Double plus ungood.
Around here, I as a support guy could theoretically open a ticket. But I'm shielded by policy, so users cannot call me directly. Instead they will reach a call center (same for emails) where tickets are written down, classified and assigned. It usually takes an hour from initial call until I even see the ticket.
Challenge himself, surround himself etc - but to make better jokes. They’re just jokes not genuine positions. He’s said that himself - it’s just done for comedy. He looks for the funniest thing to say over looking for the truth.
Perhaps. OTOH - looking over Sixth Tone's front page, there are many "Here is a serious problem in China..." headlines. Far fewer "All is well" or "Interesting Story" headlines. And zero headlines about politics or national security issues, for Sixth Tone to be building cred on those subjects.
While Jon Stewart projects an affable and trustworthy persona, I personally believe the Daily Show is largely responsible for the kind of snide discourse we see around politics today.

Yes, politics has always been contentious, but Jon Stewart popularized the format of taking a subject and reducing it to a very narrow aspect, mocking it, and associating audience applause with “winning”.

Again, this is speculation on my part so I can’t give you a source or citation, but the kind of ‘clap back’ responses I read on Twitter seem inspired by how the Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver approach covering politics. Take a complex subject, find a flaw or make a non-sequitur joke, and use that to discredit the other side through humiliation.

It’s good entertainment, but it does not make for good discourse and it is incredibly polarizing.
These are probably the people who work in IT, who love to fix things and solve problems. Their workplace productivity and morale may be enhanced by the inevitable IT problems that befall others.
Yeah, I was really surprised at this piece because he's sworn up and down for decades that he has no interest in running and who can really blame him?

I went to a taping of the Daily Show in 2010 and before he came out for the Q&A, the emcee opened with "no, he's not running for president so don't waste your question asking". That's how often he got that question.
What are the important UI differences? The DD replicates a lot of the UI, even to the point of having some of the bottom sliders work backwards, just like the CS-80 did.
Crushed apple seeds.
This feels like yet more cargo-culting.

Even the first item on this list is hotly contested, with Facebook/Microsoft/Google and Co. using centralised mono-repos, google itself using a server model similar to Perforce called Piper.

To be clear here, I’m not saying they’re right, but with it feels un-scientific to make a blanket statement that they’re wrong.
People are usually aware of Big Oil but often forget that power generation and distribution companies also have they own interests (and are able to buy politicians).

Unsurprisingly, they dislike distributed/democratized power generation and storage.

*its
I can see that the topic is generally polarizing and that my first sentence is assuming and could be better. I do ask a question of why we don't have a law (or really just have people sue over the coverage contributing to the act). The part about knowing that sensationalized and detailed reports contributes is a pretty solid fact (theory, analysis, and anecdotal admissions from copycats).
> But the skyscraper? It doesn't say anything, really. It's just... there.

these are nationalist dog whistles....
Gook luck trying to fund a sufficiently powered RCT to give people $2/month for a year, let alone 5. $2k for 5 years is $120k per participant, so about $120M for a 1000 sample size study.

It will take que a long time and I don't it will be successful.

It will be easier to sell internet radios then DAB+ ones.

I tried to use DAB+ with the stations I listen to on FM (France Radio ones, west of Paris). I have reception holes while FM is perfect. I did not notice any improvement in the quality of the sound.
The tagline on their flyers used to be "5000 years of culture reborn"

And I guess they rethought the subtlety because now it's "China before communism"
I think the HN karma is subtle enough not to take it too seriously, and yet it's still there to give you the signal your comments may be out line. When I first started reading HN, I didn't even realize there was a karma feature. I also like how there are no notifications, so it doesn't feed a back and forth argument from continuing past its expiration. It may be a little less convenient, but it seems to strike the right balance.
They are where, exactly? Which country? Certainly not France.
And then maybe Hasan Piker or H3H3 can run in 2028. I'm really optimistic about the effect the internet is having in mobilizing young Americans into politics.

Monthly interest on $2000 is about $50. The difference will be hard to notice.
Like kevinmchugh pointed out, imagine parentheses to group "(Christian Science) Monitor". Christian Science is a set of beliefs that the "First Church of Christ, Scientist" adhere to.

Stuff like the belief that disease is a mental error rather than physical disorder, and that the sick should be treated not by medicine but by a form of prayer that seeks to correct the beliefs responsible for the illusion of ill health.

Sadly, this makes the appearance of the word "Science" even more confusing to the casual observer.
They made a good point here that this isn’t a random sample:

“ All participants had previously applied to the organization for COVID-19 relief funds (and thus, presumably needed money). The ways in which people learned about and came to apply to the non-profit varied, with some being referred by municipal agencies (e.g., housing authorities) or social service agencies, and others conducting internet searches. About 43% of our participants (2,237 people) received funds from the non-profit before the trial began. The overwhelming majority (99%) of these participants received $500, with a median of 243 days between a participant’s pre-trial payment and the start of the trial. Less than 1% (45 participants) received a payment in under four months of when they began the trial.”
You can easily have a monorepo with a distributed control system.

The answer is in the question.
Then who’ll be Vice President? Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman will be the First Lady, and Jack Benny will be Secretary of the Treasury.
Angry is a qualifier for president?

correlation is not causation.

were those times good because of what the Fed had done at the beginning of the decade? were they good because of the previous president's policy? were they good because of Reagan's policy?
Is there a word for this kind of logical fallacy?

GP asserts that what the engineers did is wrong. They didn't say that the public should get to decide what codenames to use or anything like that. They simply pointed out the arrogance of the engineers, and they are right.

It's like a straw man, but specific to issues of morality.

"X is wrong".

"Oh, so you want to jail every offender of X? You want to completely regulate Y in case it leads to X?"
Not that the New Yorker and The Economist play in the same league.
1. Breaking this down by country doesn’t make much sense. Per capita emissions makes more sense, from a humanitarian point of view.

2. India/China are ramping up solar and wind but it is a relatively poor country. Such investments should be funded by countries that have already “developed” and have the ability to fund such change.
> the format of taking a subject and reducing it to a very narrow aspect, mocking it, and associating audience applause with “winning”.

This has been the format of politics since at least democracy in ancient Athens.
the western medicine solutions are useless.

Eastern techniques seem to be much more practically useful for handling mental health tecniques.
Secure Curves in the Web Cryptography API
To me the effort to bring secure curves to the browser seems like an important feature for many applications. As such I am surprised how little attention from outside is given to this initiative (now 8 month old). Is there any good reason against it?
It doesn't even do the first thing. There are multiple vectors where someone could tamper or eavesdrop on a HTTPS connection, perhaps the biggest one being CDNs. As a visitor, you have no real idea how secure the connection is, even if it has a "padlock". HTTPS offers some protection against local attack vectors, from your ISP or on a public WiFi, but that's about it. The server could be compromised, or malicious, you have no idea.

Putting the responsibility for checking the rest on the user is honestly a mistake. They could be dyslexic, and may not be able to detect a typo. They could also be 85 years old and not understand half of what you are saying. These are the problems browsers should be focusing on. Security is not as easy as encrypting the protocol and saying everything else is user error.
If you read the study, there is a link to the FBI guidelines. Essentially, don't name the shooter. It would also be beneficial not to linger on one negative event for a week or more, but that's not as easy to limit. Ideally we would want journalists and networks to practice responsibility and leave out the name voluntarily, but it seems the drive for profit makes it necessary to step in with a legal solution.

Uh, no. Christian Science, like the Mormons or the Jehovah's Witnesses, are yet another American-made Christian sect founded in the 19th century by a charismatic leader:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Science

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Baker_Eddy

Val Kilmer is even a member! They definitely have a quieter, less evangelical profile than those other sects, but they do appear in the background of American cultural life, with Christian Science Reading Rooms in many cities:

That said, despite them being a new religious movement and having very suspect beliefs about medicine, this thread isn't the first time I've heard that their newspaper, the Christian Science Monitor does very good journalism, outside of the health news reporting.
And become the next Wikipedia? No thanks.
If you thought The Economist is losing touch with reality these days, The New Yorker has long moved into fantasy land. Yet another symptom of the times, can’t wait until both these old time bastions are dismantled, and new perspectives come flooding in.
