This SEC crackdown had to happen sooner or later, after all the crypto listings they have done with several suspicious coins that they had already invested in with other VCs pumping and dumping on retail. [0] [1] [2] The best part is, the VCs know it was a scam as I already said.

This scam was expected to be investigated by the regulators and was unsurprising that they are now targeting Coinbase. They are now in a similar situation with Ripple Labs who got sued by the SEC over whether if XRP is an unregistered security or not.

Basically they configured all their routers to install all the routes in the GRT?

Seems like an innocent and unavoidable mistake.

My opinion: You know how Juniper routers require you to commit a change? That should be enforced by a dedicated firmware and there should be multiple rollback confirmations (optional). So you commit a change and confirm, an hour later you have to confirm again else a hard reset and rollback takes place with a protocol in place where the rollback can be delayed when other devices in connected segments are also doing a rollback.

This works for video games too. Warcraft 3 had a comprehensive editor and cloud functionality built in which allowed games such as DotA to be made. However, the base Warcraft 3 game is a masterpiece in its own right, which drove users to the platform. If only the editor had been released, it would have never gathered the critical mass for acquiring users.

Ideally yes, but it’s also not that easy to find senior developers and a lot of them don’t like having to hand-hold juniors.
As a photographer who has used film since the 70s and still uses film, this is terrible. Kodak has already jacked up the prices on their films and they are hard to get still. Clearly they are switching to a more profitable business, but repurposing machines certainly doesn't help the shortage of color films.
> It is easy to build a city where you can reach everything you need within 15 minutes by car.

I think getting to places by car is often not the hardest part. Instead, the hard part (at least from a user's perspective!) is storing all the cars for all the inhabitants of the city, both at their origin and their destination. This creates ballooning space requirements, including duplication of space (much residential parking will remain largely unused during the day, and much business parking will remain largely unused at night). Then, even after devoting as much space to cars as US cities do, one winds up unable to plan simply to drive to one's destination, but having also to devote significant planning to parking.

Shamelessness as a strategy (2019)
I haven’t looked into it because it seemed straight forward. But now you have me curious.

The clients always authenticated before launching the game and required a valid session to join even private servers. I’ve assumed the change just disables the option to join any games similar to if they weren’t properly authenticated.
If the feedback is indeed valid, then we need to know what it was. The criticism may be well founded and imposter syndrome is not applicable in that case.

Ideally they should be helping her improve or giving her actionable feedback. Obviously that doesn't happen in all case (not many really). She should work on fixing the issue, move to a setting/company better suited to her abilities, or find some other way to meet the standards set by the company/peers.
Maybe that's how IC cards work in some places, but that's definitely not the normal EMV standard. I've worked on the implementation of EMV chip card processing through basically all the major networks and can tell you that we necessarily have access to—and have to store after—the raw card number to facilitate the transaction. There's a lot of encryption involved to prevent bad actors from getting access but it's far from end-to-end.
In this case I think the positive reactions a year later are more a result of having a good use case for the NEV/LSV rather than the truck being a good buy for the general public.

There's also arguably limited use cases like the article brings up (off road, not street legal, lots of land) - or at least "limited" in comparison with the average / mean vehicle that gets purchased by consumers.

Great that it has a use case and it's working for him, but I hesitate to universalize his experience as a result.
For those who enjoy drifting cars (in some cases at urban sideshows) there are lots of 'angle kits' to tighten a vehicles steering angles, enabling the driver to break the tires loose easier. The reason why mass produced cars don't have these is because it wears the suspension out a lot quicker and puts great stress on the bodyshell.

It's interesting how far we've come. Even well into the 20th century, it was still possible for a teenager to compose a "hit." For example, "Lush Life" by Billy Strayhorn. If that's changed, which wouldn't shock me, it's probably due to the consolidation of the music industry, making it more conservative.

This is a fine way to hire engineers. It's not the only way, and it will miss out on good candidates who don't want to show their employers' code. But this process invests literally zero time in those candidates, so it's probably quite efficient.

I agree! I work for a company that makes a product that I think is a positive force in the world rather than a destructive one. I work for less money than I could at Google or Facebook or Amazon and allow myself to get emotionally invested in the work, and I think having the opportunity to make that choice has made my life much better. I know this is a luxury that not everybody gets under capitalism, but I'm always confused that so many people who could have it willingly pass it up to make more money doing a job that they can only justify by pretending they don't have a choice.
I thought the trailing-off title was some sort of clickbait (which would be weird for Chen!); but actually the title is "Yes, the 8086 wanted to be mechanically translatable from the 8080, but why not add the ability to indirect through AX, CX and DX?", and I guess it just got asemantically chopped on HN's end. (To avoid my own clickbait, the one-sentence answer from the article, on which of course the rest of the article elaborates, is "Basically, because there was no room.")
Not sure I can add much to the answers below but will try.

You are not going to be able to increase your quality of life above that of Germany by moving closer to the equator, at least not by most general quality of life metrics.

However, it sounds like you are specifically looking for the combination of sun + lower cost. In that regard I’d look at the following. Keep in mind you will likely end up moving back to Germany eventually from most of these, be it because you require health or elder care or certain educational opportunities for your kids if you have any.

Panama,
Nicaragua,
Ecuador,
Costa Rica,
Malta,
Malaysia,
Bali,
Spain & Baleares,
Portugal.

If you’re willing to compromise on the “sun factor”, I would take a closer look at the following:

Austria,
Slovenia,
Estonia,
Czech Republic,
South Korea,
Taiwan.

It sounds to me that you also want a country where you get by in English and/or German easily. That should narrow down the first list above quite a bit.
And for hot places: have a look at how Singapore deal with these things.

(Yes, it's too hot to enjoy biking during the day. But public transport is great, and has aircon.)
Semi related: I don’t use VRChat, but EAC is the worst piece of anti cheat software I’ve been subjected to.

It’s opaque, unhelpful and constantly crashes my computer. There’s a whole stack of stuff I can’t play with friends, but EAC politely sends my computer into a boot-loop every time I try to play something that uses it. Apparently it’s my choice of hardware, because even clean windows installs aren’t enough to avoid its ire. And of course it won’t tell you, and epics help amounts to “uuhhh update your bios lol?”.

At least Valorants anti-cheat has the dignity to tell you what it doesn’t like, and how to resolve it.

So good luck to all the people who will effectively lose access to vr chat because of epics awful piece of software.
The ugly parts have taken over. The Second Life users have moved in and now dominate many spaces, along with tons of kids ("Questies") and the usual always-online contingent of furries, extremists of various sorts, and adults being creepy around young kids.

Lived in Canberra for a long time but no longer.

Can confirm it is a 20 minute city with your own car/motorbike/bicycle-enthusiasm (year round in 35 degree heat or -7 degree cold). The arterial roads are good and the bicycle pathways are pretty good in any area established before self government.

The new suburbs suck, and if you need public transport it is a tram line that services a single area and buses everywhere else. Live in a new suburb and have to rely on public transport? Sucks to be you...

"Regardless, her manager should be able to help. If not, she needs to find a manager that can."

VRChat is jam-packed with malicious users who use modded clients or run Wireshark to dox and harass people using their IP. Imagine an adult telling a little kid in VR, "I know where you live, it's in X city" and then social-engineering their way to even worse places. They did a big refactor a few years ago to remove all/most P2P networking due to the DDoS and harassment problems. The VRChat community is incredibly toxic.
Yes, you do need to authenticate before joining a privately hosted server, unless you change 'online-mode' in server.properties in the server folder. This came with a few issues. Offline servers usually had a plugin which let you create a password connected to your name in-game, since anyone in theory could just change their name to yours and get your inventory and permissions, including OP. AuthMe is an example of an authentication plugin, if you're interested in checking it out.

So central authentication has been a part of the game since the beginning of multiplayer more or less, but Microsoft has taken it quite a bit further with the recent changes. Quite a shame to potentially be banned from a private server I host myself, whitelisted only for IRL friends. How strict the criteria to actually get banned is irrelevant in my opinion, I bought the game over ten years ago, and now suddenly risk losing access to multiplayer, which was the only reason I bought the game. But we'll have to see how it actually gets implemented, I really hope it's opt-in, or at the very least possible to opt out for privately hosted servers, but I have no issue with it being implemented on Realms.
You're not completely wrong, but there's a history of viable technologies being eschewed in favour of those with military applications.

I've just spent a bit of time in boats, and sometimes have hauled big patches of weedy garbage aboard just for fun.

Some types of weed entangle like spaghetti with one-another so just grabbing one corner and pulling means you can haul a few hundred kilos of weed into a boat by hand.

Most floating garbage gets covered in weed, shells, and even a few small fish or corals pretty quick. I really don't see how the garbage could be separated without destroying the weed and ecosystems attached.

Doing it at scale without some research to be sure it's the best plan seems like a really bad idea.

Yeah it's super strange to me when devs pushback on this idea of being able to showcase their personal projects, like do you seriously not have any at all besides a bunch of worthless CRUD or tutorial projects?

professional photographers have great examples of personal things that they've worked on to show off their portfolio, artists use things like behance and artstation, musicins have band camp and SoundCloud, writers have watt pad / substack, and software engineers... have github.

I mean the whole reason I got into software engineering was literally to be able to conjure up my creations out of seemingly thin air. No other branch of engineering is as frictionless towards making that a reality.

Software engineers:

- "Leetcode is unfair"

- "Whiteboarding is too stressful"

- "Personal projects are biased in favor of people with too much free time..."

It's a bigger burden for the interviewer and it's going to be harder to "be calibrated" on this kind of interview. It also makes it harder for the interviewer to sit in smug silence while the candidate fails to find the favorite "best" answer to to some treasured pet question. It forces engagement.
XKCD 1205 is completely wrong because it fails to account for the fact that manual work tends to introduce random errors into the mix which are difficult to reverse. Whereas if automation is well designed, it's often very possible to correct any errors you made in the automation, and once you get it right it will always be right.

The other thing is that a task that takes 30 seconds doesn't just take 30 seconds, the context switch is actually quite a burden and even just having to remember to do the thing.

JWST folded is about 3 tiles wide, in a housing 4.7m in diameter, unfolding to 6.5m. So a JWST style fold in a Starship would be double. A one-mirror-segment-per-flight would be something like 36m, in the same arrangement. But since you would be constructing from separate sections, the diameter is theoretically limitless.
