Let's hope that the same repeated responses on every crypto-related post do not pollute this one. I hope not, but we'll see.

But this is yet another rinse and repeat story about retail once again holding the bag as they throw away their life savings on crypto. The same old story which retail always loses. every. time. on the hype and mania.

The crash was inevitable and was going to happen anyway. The signs was in November [0] as I said and even before that with crypto. I warned them [1] when Bitcoin reached over $60K and they still didn't listen. One was willing to bet that DOGE would go over $1 by September 2021 and he lost as I warned them again [2]. The same had happened with stocks like Cloudflare rocketing all the way up and warned many to sell. [2] They just held on as it crashed later.

So tell me, how was it a surprise that it all had to crash (especially crypto) in 2022? [4]

If you're not tech savvy enough to scan a QR code, do you really NEED to be on my home wifi?
I OCR books, so they are not a good sample. I would want to compare at least 10 pages per sample, with more typical problems such as skewed, rounded pages from photos, artifacts, damaged source pages (tears and creases) etc. They do reproduce some problems with changing fonts and layout, but a big piece of the puzzle is custom dictionaries and layout training. It's fine for a once over, but not a deep dive.
I need to pirate a backend, but I don't know the API.

A fitness tracker I have (Jawbone Up Move) is coupled with an app, which is coupled with an online service, which has been dead since 2017.

Are there any tips, tricks or resources regarding this? Best I can currently do is `mitmdump –set connection_strategy=lazy` (the last part is important so it doesn't try to connect to the original server and throw a weird error), but I don't know what the app wants as a response to its login request.

A look at the decompiled code doesn't immediately reveal much. Are there any common patterns for this type of stuff?
Yep.

I propose we use Moon Diameters (MD) as the official HN unit for sky distance.
You as a property owner can pay to get your lot lines surveyed, but building cinder block or concrete walls between lots is generally not done due to cost, aesthetics since its considered an eyesore, doesn't add tangible value for the current owners and can hamper shared use items like the laundry pole you mentioned.

I wouldn't want to live on a property blighted by a cinder block wall. With the risk of earthquakes here on the West Coast you would want a good foundation and rebar/concrete reinforcement for such a wall as well.
LISA – The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
Bug report: On Firefox the difference wiper thing doesn't appear for the last image (Carina Nebula), it only shows the full Webb image.
I've been quite happy with MXroute. I've only once had an IP blocking problem with them, with a friend who hosts using Migadu. It was cleared up in under a day.

"Opinionated" is a very good word for them, though. I think Jarland Donnell is legitimately passionate about running a good email services, and has strong opinions about what that means. In my experience, it's meant something no-nonsense, with good technical transparency, that delivers exactly what it promises and nothing more. Perfect for my needs.
JavaScript is just C without pointers
> But, as Scheme has demonstrated, once the virtual machine supports tail calls, a compiler can implement exceptions and cooperative multithreading by way of compiling to continuation-passing style. So this is not the beginning of a long series of extensions; it's Lambda the Ultimate Goto.

Well to an extent. CPS can be extremely slow.

Scheme shows that continuations will also be needed down the road. But yes, that's about it.
I’m curious what’s going on in the upper left area of the Carina Nebula image. The dust can’t have actually cleared out that much since the Hubble shot was taken, could it?
Just chuck up a screen saying "Configuring update for Windows, do not turn off your PC" and reboot 2 minutes later.

There's now no evidence of compromise except a user saying "My computer rebooted unexpectedly, there was a message about windows update" - hardly something that's going to set alarm bells ringing.
I could note that RSS has worked fine for decades without a blockchain, but for a web3 visionary, I imagine that's beside the point.
I suspect Spotify have taken a similar approach to devaluing all complaints about their UX/UI, thus why people like me have deleted their account.
> Intel management engine and Computrace decedent features are not always removable

Intel ME and Computrace have nothing to do with UEFI secureboot.

> “chain of trust between firmware and OS” assumes physical security in logistics and co-locations is perfect

Secureboot isn't just about physical security. It also (probably even more important) ensures malware can't modify anything in the chain of trust. Meaning malware can't backdoor the bootloader and in turn also can't install a rootkit in the kernel. If you would modify the binary of the bootloader or kernel their signatures would be modified. The firmware (ie. UEFI) won't load the bootloader anymore (because the signature check fails) and the bootloader (which verifies the kernel signature) won't boot the kernel.
I would take a hundred squirrel over one raccoon.
The web is dead. The closest remnants you can find of the glory days are on Gemini.
The difference is much more nuanced than this. A modern GPU can (and probably does) do most of what you've listed for a CPU. Speculative execution and branch prediction are a bit less likely to be invested in (because they don't need it as much due to oversubscription), but that's increasingly true for CPUs as well for high-efficiency cores. The difference (at a category vs category level and not specific microarch) is mostly a matter of tuning for particular workloads. I'm increasingly souring on SIMD/SIMT being a useful distinction now that bleeding-edge CPUs are widening in the microarch and bleeding-edge GPUs are getting better at handling thread divergence in the microarch. There is a difference, certainly, but it's difficult to describe in a few bullet points.

GPUs are more likely to have more exotic features than you'll see on a CPU to deal with things like thread coordination and cache coherence, but there's nothing fundamentally stopping CPUs from adding that (or wanting that) as well.
I'm not sure what you mean by "it is very hard to give contextuality on it"; OAS does supports referring to a type by reference, so that higher level types can reuse the definition of structs they might contain.

But even so, here the problem is that the APIs aren't actual PUT/GETs: they payload types aren't the same going up as they are coming down. It is really two separate types, one for PUT, one for GET.

Some of that is to be expected (there will be some information after the create that is only added by the VM coming into being) but how Kubernetes handles this with a separate "status" for the item I think ends up letting the rest of the type (spec, in k8s's case) be the same type. (… ish. K8s has variants of this problem, too.)

To expand a bit, I'm largely relegated to the API docs themselves. Browsing the actual schema is hard:

Start at: https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs
Descend into specification.
Descend into … so many choices … compute.
Descend into resource-manager.
Descend into Microsoft.Compute
Descend into stable
Descend into — and this is tricky!
the latest version isn't the latest version.
The latest version is 2022-04-04, but for VM creation it's 2022-03-01.
The only way I know to determine this is to seek backwards, or find it in the docs.
Descend into ComputeRP
Descend into virtualMachine.json.

And it's 3.3k LoC! Some of this verbosity is JSONSchema, to be sure… but still. And then you might have to wade back up to common.json, though I forget what circumstances cause me to need to look there.
I renewed Prime because I received a $100 gift card for getting a Prime credit card. Probably will not renew the service, and will also terminate the credit card and, a few months later, rinse and repeat (they told me there's nothing wrong with doing that).
Is 25 Ghz something an amateur could practically expect to capture from earth without ridiculous (or improbable) electronics? My understanding of higher frequencies was that something this high is likely to have been almost completely absorbed by the atmosphere
Just wondering - I guess "giving shit" should be sufficiently well defined that we could create a training set for a GPT-3-like pre-trained language model.
Limit, but it doesn't remove all avenues of attack. Firmware config needs to be writable at runtime (things like cold boot attack protection require state to persist over power cycles, even if you don't think other firmware config should be modifiable without physical presence), and the code that parses that could still contain vulnerabilities. Making firmware mostly read-only would mitigate certain classes of attack, but not all of them.
That's why the only email subscription service on my site is completely transparent and details exactly what we're storing, and it's impossible to click by accident. Everything I do for myself I try to build like a service I'd like to use myself. But the second managers or marketers are involved it's all out the window. I remember early in my career my boss had me add every email included in a TED booklet to their marketing email list. I told him that morality issues aside he could likely catch a fine for that, especially since the type of people listed in a TED booklet are likely more litigious than the average bear. Didn't care, wanted more eyes on the marketing.
That seems like it would have a Liberal Bias.
i’d say with exposure!

most of the exposure you’ll be getting is from organic search

you might not realize, but people are literally searching for solutions all the time

companies also search for projects they want to build/use to see who’s already building it (this is where you can get hired)

so, a good idea would be to work on your README so when your prospects describe the problem to the search engine your project comes up as a solution

then make sure the technical side and the documentation are solid, so that people can depend on it

a plus for you would be to have projects across multiple domains, this increases your exposure

if you want to go a step beyond that, try to post your projects to relevant communities (note: this should come secondary after search)
I'm not sure that matters, does it?
Considering with only one mirrorless camera and one DSLR I have to lug around 10+ batteries in my camera bag...yeah. Running out of batteries at a wedding isn't an option.

Plus I keep backups just in case my camera bag is stolen, and first party Nikon batteries are $70 per. I hadn't considered keeping a battery bank and a long USB-C cable as a backup though, so I'll need to look into that.
You will definitely see jalapeños and such on UK food packaging. I just searched the bbc website for "jalapeño" and found this page [0] which uses both spellings (!). It also links to a page on "habañero" (sic) so yeah you can say that British familiarity with Ñ is somewhat of a mixed bag.

Out of curiosity is it also using a circa-2018 chrome install? There have been mitigations pushed to Chrome and V8.
Might just be confusion with swagger / openapi, which is a complete mess of procedural constraints reminiscent of XML Schemas.
Unfortunately, being slow is just not acceptable in a decent portion of scenarios. Web developers won't start writing 5x faster sites, and cloud providers won't like needing 5x more hardware to serve the same amount of virtual CPU performance. (5x being my random guess of the performance decrease from losing speculative execution & co; it'd likely be even worse, especially combined with the fact that manufacturers would have to design a completely new chip)
The issue with such problematic clauses is that even though they might not be enforceable, some fraction of people who sign them will stick to them, to their own detriment.

What's needed is some kind of harsh punishment for including unenforceable contract clauses, coupled with awareness from the side of the employee.
Changing the orientation of my phone from portrait to landscape while on the site somewhat solved this.
They’re like every other media outlet; trying to trigger people into having an opinion that does not matter, because the public having opinions that matter would mean a low effort blogger has to get a job.
Monetization is the root of most evil on the internet.
Didn't realize the lifetime sub was $400. I take it back, this is pretty clever.
Sometimes you just get acquired because "large sums of money". Some startups are on their way way up, with spare room to improve on their value proposition and mission at the time of their acquisition, and it's difficult to know what the road not traveled would've looked like. Even if you see improvements post-acquisition, you can't tell if the acquisition actually stifled the potential. For some of the companies lauded in this very thread, I'd argue that's the case.
It’s cheaper to not use them, for now. As attack cost of easier attacks increases, so will adversary sophistication

The FTZ adaptor, both gen 1 and 2, works pretty well from what I hear. So no real need to throw all your good F mount lenses out. If you do so, well there will be plenty of happy takers!
Medium is an absolute plague since it started to enforce its draconian subscription model.

It is literally a waste of space for the 10 results you see on the first page of Google searches.
Frankfurt is absolute warzone and worst of them all, avoid it at any cost this summer. A week ago there were more heavily armed police telling people to leave the airport and find a hotel than workers.
Strictly speaking, the masses adopting rhotic pronunciation was, originally, an effort at mimicking a privileged-class affectation. The extra "R" in "drawRing" did not mimic anything, though, but seemed required by the imperfectly deduced rule. Those in actual contact with the privileged class had plenty of examples to, er*, draw upon, denied to those without.

Class markers in speech are always a moving target, a sort of low-grade arms race: low stakes for the upper class, high stakes for lower.

So, pronouncing it "drawRing" is a lower-class marker, similar in a way to "aks" for "ask" in American English.

As always, all of these pronunciations are legitimate and produce no misunderstanding.

[*] "er" is pronounced "uh" or "eh", rhotically.

Yes I have. I didn’t know it was a scam. I just ignore it.
Probably depends on what "works" means. Signups can be important for putting on pitch decks for example. Plenty of companies do not have earning profit as one of their immediate objectives.
French as well, although the elegance gained is quickly tarnished by calling y "Greek i".
Unfortunately I was not able to use LJ during its heyday, would you mind elaborating a bit on the features you miss?
I will add to this that we are in a healthy design loop that is tightening in on what I feel is a reasonable final design that is implemented in at least one high-performance engine, V8. AFAIK there are Igalia folks trying to get a parallel implementation in JSC to meet the 2-engine bar.

GC will not directly make DOM manipulation easier, but it will make it easier to integrate DOM references into a managed language that compiles to WASM, since it obviates the need for indirections through tables. This feature alone is majorly opens up capabilities for WASM on the Web!
Don’t save the disclaimer for last.
Do you mind sharing why joining startup was a mistake? I am in the similar position at the big company, and have been contemplating a similar change
It's both. The light-sensitive supraoptic part of your brain directly triggers your hypothalamums to release more or less corticotropin-releasing hormone. Which directly triggers adrenocorticotropic hormone+melanocyte [melanin cell] stimulating hormone.
Seems a bit odd to me. Many older film cameras from the 80s and 70s (or earlier) can still take perfectly decent photos even without a battery. As long as you can guesstimate things correctly and manually control for other settings such as aperture, it becomes easy to do. I've used my old Asahi Pentax for decades sans battery or exposure meter.
Cats are predators who accept our offerings of food and petting.
Europeans don't go spend their money in Britain because their currency's value doesn't make it worth it; therefore it's not worth to have many flights to accommodate them
I see no controversy here, but I like both animals and have had pet rats.

Yes, they have many similarities. Both are rodents.
I would submit the actuaries pricing the insurance know the most about how cheap the insurance is relative to the risk. If it is only a few dollars per year, then the probability of loss must be so small that the insurance company is willing to take on the risk for a few dollars per year. Now, if you do not have $25k cash, then certainly go ahead and buy the insurance because you need it. But if you do, then you have already insured yourself.

Much of it is in infrared light we can't see, so it's "transposed" to the visible spectrum.

If so, they missed the key part of Catholicsm/Christianity: the death of Jesus atones for our sin, guilt, and shame.

I've slowly come to the opinion that it is about a power play / emotional manipulation, because there is no way to atone. If you're white (for example), you're just an oppressor by the structure of society you were born into, so the sin is membership in a structurally advantaged group defined by race. You can't change your race nor change the past, so the best you can do is hope that supporting the political agenda of your accusers is good enough.
> I bet such a sketch would cause outrage these days.

I remember the times when people whose pastime was to get offended at stuff were ridiculed by most of the society.

For all our social progress in this millennium, we regressed in many ways people don't readily notice. This was mostly an American thing in the past; but it spilled into Europe over time.
You mean, this New Yorker? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32044754

I completely and categorically disagree. The New Yorker has derailed on many fronts. It has become an ideological hell hole. If you have access to a public library, you can browse pre-2000's New Yorker on archive.org which was a totally different publication all together.
The only "ruinous" aspect is that Germany did not prepare on the side of renewable installed capacity (and perhaps storage, although I'm not sure.)

Nuclear is:

* Something like 3x more costly (levelized cost etc.) relative to solar and wind.

* Dangerous I: Yes, still dangerous for the foreseeable future. There are still significant risks, especially with nuclear waste storage, but to some extent with active plants. I'm not an expert on this, but see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_power_accident... with some examples from recent years.

* Dangerous II: Considering the state of infrastructure generally in some world states (e.g. the US) and profit motives, I do not believe the private nuclear industry can be trusted to deliver sufficient levels of safety.

* Dangerous III: Earthquakes, bombardment, and partisan/terrorist attacks are threats even to plants and storage facilities which are otherwise safe. And these occur with relative frequency; just think of the Zhaporizye (sp) plants a couple of months ago.

* Has greenhouse gas emission costs via mining of Uranium and such. Caveat: Not sure how much this compares to wind/solar/geothermal on one hand and coal/carbon-rich gas on the other hand/

* Is promoted to a great extent as a counterpart to nuclear arms programs. For nuclear weapons, you need fissile material, and you produce that in a nuclear reactor. Which then also produces heat, which you convert to power. Not all nuclear plants need to be like that, but again, no trust that these will go away.

Now, I am certainly no expert on the matter, so - convince me otherwise if you can.

No, expsoure time is not enough. Resolution is a factor of the size of the primary mirror. Exposure time just allows capture of photons at that resolution. With the JWST primary mirror dwarfing the Hubble's, then it will always have better imagery.
They got so much right with that film. And so much wrong. It could stand a remake, or even a sequel where the Cygnus reappears after surviving it's apparent destruction.
I didn’t make such assumptions, it was a comment about evidentiary standards, calling out people like you who place an unequal burden on the two positions, and didn’t even realize something could be wrong in the status quo it was being compared to. You validate that charge when you immediately shift the burden (again) to whether I personally can make the case in that direction.

I don't think that line disagrees with your experience. It's not saying you'll get 10x admiration comments. Just that there are 10x admiring people.

It's a bit like HN comments, the discussion happens when someone disagrees, or adds more context. But if you like something you should just upvote instead of posting a trivial comment. Even the rules say so.

I guess if you publish something where you can see the traffic stats, it may be easier to see. So you get 5 comments how your content is dumb - check traffic stats - ah, it's 5 out of 500,000 visitors.
Browsers have since added their own mitigations. Chrome has certainly come up with their own set of mitigations [0].

Nonetheless, a lot of hardware still remains unpatched and vulnerable. Do you install games? Do you install mods to your games? Do you fully trust every game author and mod author? Pro tip: you shouldn't; games can do it even easier. Don't do your business or finances on your gaming PC.

No it wasn't. Blogspot was fine. TypePad was fine, as was WP. These are what powered the blogging boom of 2003-2010. They are all still around. If you were a regular writer, you would also have eventually developed a strong command of whatever platform you were on. A writer doesn't stop because the pen isn't as nice as they would like.

Meanwhile, Medium failed to create any kind of boom at all, despite its clean UX. They just kept the marketing/analytics cruft out of the product JUST long enough to attract a large enough audience, and then jacked everything up to 11. Standard bait-and-switch for 'free' technology products these days.
