I don't think the number is too small. These components were super-expensive, not too available and USSR was in a very, very bad shape in the 80s. Note that the Eastern Bloc countries had it better than USSR at that time - better quality of life, better economy, some even produced computer parts locally and were able to hold onto them instead of being forced to send them to the USSR (Bulgaria and Czechoslovakia, for example).

I'd be surprised if there were more than 10k computers in the entire Eastern Bloc in 1986. Even pocket calculators were an expensive luxury item, and people were hacking them to have at least some kind of computer.
Ok so one country has chosen, for whatever reason, not to administer Moderna to men under 30, presumably on the basis that they feel other alternatives are safer (with an explicit note that the guideline is a temporary precautionary measure).
That's hardly proof that vaccines are harmful. All medical treatment carries risk. But the risk of refusing it vastly outweighs that.

PS. I still don't see anything on the NHS site indicating there's any concern that AZ is harmful to those under 40.
Especially since the removal of downvoting it's hard to get to good quality material. Majority of tech videos are a case of blind leading the blind and unless you know the subject already it's hard to spot.

Nowadays I start with a forum/reddit/discord/hn search for a list of hive approved creators and only then go to youtube with that list in hand. Starting the search in youtube (unless for a very niche/non-marketable topics) is close to worthless.
Yes I am complaining. Who are we? Who are hobbyists any way? We are the ones who do R&D for free, who deliver software testing for free, who take our skills into the workforce and recommend technologies as solutions. We should be treated as first class citizens. And yes _of course_ operating systems should be free to hackers and hobbyists, for the reasons outlined above.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this exact problem lately. If we accept the concept of “better / faster / cheaper”, but the velocity and cost of a team is fixed, then the only variable is “better”.

This means that we can either reduce the feature count or we can reduce the code quality. If we stick to the plan (which inevitably talks about features) then it’s quality that will suffer, but reducing quality has a significant cascading effect on the entire project.

So the only real option is to change the plan - change the deliverables timing. But if the value of the plan was predictability, this option suggests that long term planning isn’t particularly valuable anyway.
I grew up around the corner from him. I distinctly remember his house having some great halloween decorations.

His comics are amazingly good.
I very much disagree with the article.

Long term plans do not work very well for sure. But they're not _meant_ to. Long term planning is meant to give people an idea of what's coming after.

This is important because what's coming after may change the implementation of what you're doing now. Some people in the team may say: "hey if we did 3 before 1, then we'd have 2 for free".

Estimating the time it will take to do things is also important cause you may think that you know what's coming after, but if you don't know how much time it may take (apply a 0.5-2 multiplier range), you may actually never have time to do it.

Keep making plans. Keep selling them to stakeholders, and keep telling them that it's just a rough plan and that details will be very different.

In any case, it'll cost you more pain to fight your CEO and tell them that you don't want to make a 1-year plan, than to actually making a 1-year plan...
The drive for monetization certainly shows in the form of needlessly, absurdly long videos. I recently came across a "How to Make the Windows 11 Taskbar Completely Transparent" tutorial (I had a whim to do just that). The whole content boils down to "install such-and-such app". Length of the video? 5:50 :) (And the narrator calls it a "real quick video" by the way, so apparently that passes for being rather brief).

YT, or even videos in general, don't have a monopoly for that though. Eg. in my country some Sundays are shopping, some are not. Every now and then I need to google it out to find out if the shops are open next Sunday, and inevitably at the top of search results will sit a 4 screens long blog post starting with an 'immersive' story to the tune of "Imagine you wake up on Sunday morning, and your fridge is empty. That's a bummer, huh?", followed by paragraphs and paragraphs of such fluff with the only information any sane person could care about buried somewhere near the end : )
Hey, I'm Johannes - one of the maintainers of refinery. Thanks Jonathan for sharing!!

Would be super excited if you guys have any feedback. It's nowhere near perfect yet, but you can already use it to build some great data-centric use cases.

Let me know what you think :)
I would say youtube peaked around 2012. Been downhill of a cliff ever since.
By showing them the approach, teaching them the benefits and showing them the results? By giving them more information, so they can want to adopt the same mindset themselves? Because not all teaching, showing and informing is "brainwashing"?
> I searched for a software tutorial on Youtube and 90% of results are talking heads.

What else did you want on a video site? You just think they should not include their faces in the videos?
SpamAssasin does ok only on subset of spam emails.. The problem is that underlying model is not capable to differentiate fake email from your boss (unless it's really simple) VS many other external emails you get.

I guess you would still want that 2nd level of protection for your ORG with sensitive data even if some "please buy X" - spam emails are still getting in.

Ofc Google is also not ideal :)
I agree that this is terrible and that it is the responsibility of the companies to protect their customers, but theft happens with anything that's valuable. Domain names, email addresses, cars, etc. These can be "decentralized" but it doesn't mean that people wont try to figure out your password or find your keys so that they can steal them.
Among others, serial port API is missing.

It reminds me of coloring in character grids in my TRS-80 programming manual to create UI designs. If I close my eyes I can still smell the papyrus.
And this works by setting bits in io bitmap at the end of a task state segment (TSS), which directs CPU to allow IN/OUT for specific ports in a process.

[So glad that I studied the system programming manual back then and now can look smart on a forum :]

> They should be investing in tools and techniques to evaluate reports and gather intel on site before "storming the house". Even basic old humint like "asking the neighbors if they heard any shots" seems to have been tossed aside.

Yeah, I've suggested this very thing myself on several occasions, but basically people who are against engaging in self-defense and prefer to use police officers as their own personal security are dead set against any kind of reform on this point. You're really not going to get any kind of reform on this point until it's more than just little people who are being inconvenienced by this. Basically unless and until SWAT shoots someone "who matters" it won't change... because some people are REAL sure they need a militarized police force who can kick in your door at any time on the word of an anonymous jackass on the other end of an unsecured line.
The point is, these behaviors clearly did not emerge only there as we have plenty of examples in completely unrelated cultures. There is no point in calling something "western" only because it's happening there as well - you have the same thing everywhere else, so why not call it "eastern" or "southern" instead - or why use meaningless names at all?
Echoing the authors sentiment, the best cup of coffee is the one that requires no fuss to make, does not take center stage, and just facilities human interaction.

My best cups where made by my late father. Using a steel coffee pot with multiple layers of burned tarry substance on the inside, he was able to brew and fill the whole house with a scent that drew every family member to the kitchen, to grab a cup.

We would then all sit and talk for a long time. The 90's and no mobile phones.
There is a marketing company that is constantly adding me to new spammy lists they are creating. They are using AWS SES / SendGrid / other reputable providers.

The emails all pass SPF/DKIM/DMARC and filing abuse reports seems to get me taken off the list I complained about but I quickly get added to a different one.

I am this close to auto-blocking anything from these large providers and switching to allow-listing the legitimate domains that can send me e-mail.
It did so several years ago. It is now practically begging for a competition with deep pockets to end its journey. Toktok has taken a lot of the fun content away from it.

Show HN: PubKey – Communicate Privately in Anonymous Public Spaces
A little while back I remember seeing a user on a certain anonymous imageboard asking for an invite to a selective email host. Only after a few minutes did the guy realize the perplexity of the situation. How do you insure against a race condition in a public forum with no way to direct message?

Luckily, he nabbed the invite code, but it got me thinking about using PGP to provide a solution. This is meant to be a rough PoC and the UX is definitely not ready for the average Joe, but the functionality I'd like to think is there.

What catbox.moe is to dropbox is what I'd like this to eventually be to keybase. Btw, "this page uses NO SERVER" just means it's static. I'm not trying to fool anyone lol.

There's plenty of evidence including videos - just not on CNN. Actually, Russia is steadily advancing according to Ukrainian own sources [0]. I can understand the optimistic and Russophobic beliefs that this is all Russia can do, but it's far from the truth! Zelensky soon will be the most hated Ukrainian leader ever because with him serving Biden, not the Ukrainian people, he will lose a lot more. His attitude of begging and criticizing those who gave him an unprecedented support did not do anything but dig Ukraine deeper into the hole started by Biden when he was Obama's vice president!

I still find youtube invaluable for tech related demos and tutorials. In fact, I've probably learned more in the last 5 years from youtube than any other source, books included.

There's little better than watching someone walk you through something new, especially when there's a good bit of exact configuration to get right.

As for other content, who knows. There's SO much stuff on youtube, stuff I wouldn't begin to know how to find. I'm sure most of it is of low value to most people, but I think some people just use it as a creative outlet, or a place to talk (with no viewers).
Keeping it Analog: A framework for opting out of connectivity
Well the reality of industrial designers is quite interesting. I have a good friend who is doing this (his own small studio) and as someone with a software background the processes are mind boggling. The politics involved are amazing. Weeks of debating color choices. Back and forth between departments (including the realization at a couple of month in that production costs would be through the roof...something mentioned on slidset 1, week 1) etc. etc.

It was also eye opening for my naive world view that awards are simply bought. A red dot award is basically pay sum x and you are guaranteed to "win".
There is still some quality content on youtube, but the ads I get are awful and repetitive... It's probably my own fault though as I turn personalisation off (so likely no frequency capping)

And there's something tragic about people making content in their homes and reading out a marketing script about some crap for a minute.
Review is recent but this is about Don Norman's book from the 1980's, if anyone was expecting something new. IMHO the book was ok but it didn't wow me or anything like that, had a fair amount of stuff that I subjectively felt was wrong (matter of opinion), and a smaller amount of stuff that I thought was objectively wrong (he said X off the top of his head, but published studies said otherwise). I haven't read the review yet. Will try to do so tomorrow.
I think the influence of the body politic on media companies is far too high. This is outright collusion for political purposes and a reason people trust main stream media less and less if media companies censor on behalf of government.

That said, I still think the families of public figures should be able to expect privacy. The leaks around Biden specifically didn't surface anything substantial and they paint a bad light on those that try to make it a topic to get back at Biden.

The look might be "bad" in regards to what is happening in Ukraine according to Biden himself but a bit of research seems to indicate that any involvement is coincidental and sourced from previous engagement there. Engagement that has been constructive as far as any leaks seem to indicate. Overall it looks like a bad smear campaign.
China had a sadistic crazy butchering ally, they've failed to keep that ally regime from being toppled by Vietnam, China has invaded Vietnam but was met by stiff resistance and had to retreat (which looks much more like a defeat rather a draw, especially given the difference in size between parties) and of course China no longer had the Cambodia - Vietnam did not occupy it either but I'm not sure they seriously planned to.

I'm really weak in that kind of history so I may get everything off, but that's what it looks from the outside.

It’s worth noting that the Bohr mentioned in the article is Niels’ brother, so he certainly would understand the ramifications of the award using similar qualification standards as the Nobel Prize.

It’s the fact that every video is 10 minutes long now because then you can monetise better.

The majority of videos have about ~3 minutes of the actual content that you’re interested in and 7 minutes of just pure fluff and fillers.
> Point-free programming has always been a controversial subject. Some people passionately hate it (particularly people that haven't invested in learning to use it) and some passionately love it.

And for other people, such as myself, it depends on the particular case.

I think that point-free style can be clearer and more concise in certain cases (particularly when you're chaining a sequence of operations), but you can also really overdo it. I think when you start to use (in Haskell) "flip", "uncurry", etc., the question is whether it wouldn't be more readable to just name the arguments instead. But obviously, people are going to have varying levels of tolerance for such things.

I've only just got into it and I found lots of good creators. It's not difficult to find them - avoid clickbaity titles/thumbnails, look for people funded by patreon, look for creators who publish longer videos (20-40 minutes) infrequently. Subscribe to those people and ignore the rest.

Same principle as reddit really - if content is being pushed into your face, it's probably worth avoiding. Seek out the high quality, less marketed content, subscribe to that and ignore what the algorithms send your way.
I wouldn't say self-sacrifice either but people do not like and are generally not good at changing habits. And some things will certainly have to change.
In my own experience, tools like this are most useful when I write something and it's unexpectedly fast/slow and I don't understand why without diving deeper. Especially when it comes to unexpected slowdowns (expected something to take 1x time but it takes 100x time instead).

Being able to inspect the generated assembly usually reveals the cause, and this tool improves being able to jump to the right place, as there tends to be a lot of assembly generated even for small snippets of code, so finding the right place can take some time.
There's a variety of youtube "creators" that I follow as I have the same interests or hobbies, okay, I'm an aviation nerd, and the videos from the same creators have over time morphed from ad-hoc, homemade, quicky explainers into very professional looking videos clearly put together by a team. And they are longer. And they are selling their merch. And they are all cross-promoting each other. And they are all advertising the same vpns.

And it's become so professional, so impersonal, that watching now feels much more like a chore
Yes? Heads add no value to a technical video, they function as a distraction at best.

A good way of ending this article: "I was fascinated by the way in which the personal agendas of committee members were clothed in seemingly reasonable attempts to place restrictions on the prize," says Christopher Hollings, a historian of mathematics at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, who attended Barany's talk. "It is a nice and interesting reminder that mathematicians are people, too."
Wealth as a predictor of whether an person pursues a creative profession (2019)
I don’t[1] use a cover for my phone and it seems mostly fine. Granted, I probably wouldn’t be super sad if it were to smash and I had to buy a replacement and maybe I’d be more careful if it would be worse for me. I’m also not so concerned about resale value and therefore micro scratches or slightly chipped/deformed corners. Maybe the newer design of iPhone is less rugged than the rounded design mine has.

Maybe I’m just good at being careful and not smashing it but I do plenty of other quite careless things.

Another thing to consider is that some people own expensive watches that can be many times more expensive than on iPhone. They don’t have covers (can get scratched up; if they have thin plating in a precious metal they can’t take much polishing; can be expensive to repair). I don’t know how bad it would be to smash the face of a watch on eg the corner of a table. Maybe only the crystal would need to be replaced or maybe the hands/dial would be damaged and expensive to repair. Maybe those people just aren’t so afraid to damage/replace their watch but I find that a little hard to believe.

[1] ok I did used to have a cover but I dropped my phone onto a tile floor from ~2.5m (using the flashlight to try to change the lightbulb in a windowless room) and damaged the cover so I stopped using and after that I didn’t really miss it. (And I have a headtorch now…)
Huh. Usually it's YouTubers who are the ones who rip off written articles verbatim, reading them as a voice over to generic B-roll video in order to churn out content. This is the first time I've seen a website do the opposite. Shows you how much the web is changing. Still, I hate this stuff. Did the blogger try to verify anything Asianometry said? Where did the YouTuber get his info? He doesn't say and the description of the video has no details.

As expected, the YT comments point out some of the issues of fact in the video.

> If we accept the concept of “better / faster / cheaper”

The idea that these are somehow constant is one of those things that looks superficially reasonable but really is not.

I often hear people wanting to reduce quality to increase velocity. But that's not how any of this works.

Code that is hard to read, issues with tooling and papercut-type bugs that aren't showstoppers are the velocity tarpit. And these are the first things people skimp on in order to move faster. It's not just a long- versus short term thinking either.

Part of it is that nobody really knows what "quality" is in a software development context. Except for the people who specialize in software quality, but they mean something different than the rest of us.

> Covering all the internal states/code paths in tests seems very hard and potentially of diminishing returns?

100% test coverage is the most easiest goal to achieve (in python). It's pretty much dumb activity. To write proper tests to check BL is a much harder task.

From my experience it gives the biggest value for dynamic languages where you must be sure that every line is touched before releasing code.
