Supposedly it's in pieces from the impact. Small samples would be fine to locate and collect via ROV with a metal detector on it to check below the silt.

If they want mass extraction after that, then potentially a form a dredging could be used (vacuum and filter could work to leave the sand and silt on the bottom).

Unauthorized copying, as Stallman would call it rather than the purposefully scary, deceitful p-word is one way to avoid things such as this, via blocking remote manipulation and removal of features from your licensed software and thus being able to stick with a fully functioning version without cloud fuss. But I would not consider using them for anything but learning and just exporting STLs in this case. Products in the field are well known to embed and encode identifying information to determine misuse, besides being filled with private info (example below). Some can be edited out of the files, some others may exist that aren't so obvious. I remember Solidworks embedding the MAC address somewhere in some formats. Small companies doing business get the middle finger the most, I suppose.

I will never understand why bug-bounty hunters work for such a low pay. They are doing the hard work for peanuts and absolutely no benefits or long-term incentives. $25k per bug, while the CEO and friends are going to make billions from this.

At least if you find a bug, go and exploit it and bring the satellite down. This way we can all have some fun, not just the VPs sitting on the company board. And then they call their conferences with menacing names such as 'Black Hat' or 'DEFCON'. Sounds more like pony-con to me.
This is just the “job server” which you can read about in the Gnu make documentation, which is excellent.

https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Job-Slots...

Basically you can specify a “-j 24” (e.g.) option to make, and it will run as many as 24 build steps in parallel. If your Makefile is correct, that’s all you need.

Because make knows the dependency graph, it can correctly handle cases where some build steps have to be done serially, while others can be fully parallelized. E.g.,

a: b;
b: c;

In which builds of b and c are serial, versus

x: y;
x: z;

for which builds of y and z are parallel.

It’s quite a powerful capability and it feels great to see 24 build-steps start in parallel from one simple command.
I've heard people accusing Suckless of gatekeeping, which is fair--when you consider their decidedly /documentation-lite/ approach, it'd be a stretch to call them accessible.

However, I'm starting to increasingly believe that gatekeeping is both good and necessary for movements to maintain their identity.

This is an inherently clickbait-y statement to make: isn't gatekeeping pretty indefensible? Yes--and no.

By way of illustration, let's talk about Dungeons and Dragons. I'm young enough to be a greenhorn by pretty much any standard, but I got into D&D before its meteoric rise back to cultural significance on the back of properties like Critical Role and Stranger Things, which has left me feeling like a dyed-in-the-wool TTRPG curmudgeon. I see people on Reddit complaining about 5e (the current iteration of D&D) all the time: there are too many rules, combat is boring and drawn out (since all people really want to do is roleplay), keeping track of health and statuses is impossible...the list goes on.

The issue is both immediately clear and a massive faux pas to point out within the community: these people shouldn’t be playing D&D.

As adversarial as that last statement might seem, try reading it not as a judgement--but as a suggestion. If you want a rules-lite improv romp with your friends that handwaves combat and emphasizes roleplay /you shouldn’t be playing D&D/. The system itself is built for a purpose that will be fighting you at every step of the way!

These people won't be happy until they start using a TTRPG system that better accomplishes what they want, and at the same time, they'll be massively pissed off at anyone who tries to tell them so.

"I think I finally fixed D&D!" I heard someone on Reddit excitedly explain. "I just make up all the monsters' dice rolls and abilities and do whatever feels most cinematic, my party loves it!"

"That's not D&D," I want to say. "That's make-believe that involves you lying to your friends."

Instead, I suggest another system that might be more conducive to their style, and I get called a gatekeeper.

I mean, you might as well say: "I want to run minimal, lightweight software written in C that expects you to understand and modify its source code, but I want some kind of configuration engine for it, since I don't know C and can't read its source code!"
Hey hey! I've met people who match the description in your post, and over time they've rocketed to success. Coding is not as important to a product's success as people make it to be. If you think you're good at coding, the furthest you'll go is architect or principal developer. I'm not saying this to reframe or control the narrative. I'm saying this because of fact. Some people are simply inevitable. Others?

Copycats are better off learning how to invest in themselves through introspection. You know the saying that goes "Every time you point a finger at someone else, there are three pointing back in your own direction"? Because character is destiny, the best an imitator can do is desperately say things as if uttering the magic words will achieve anything.

FYI, 'if' is a conjunctive adverb, which doesn't require a preceding comma since it's not a coordinating conjunction. Improving the way you write will improve your thinking process :) As the poster says, "Hang in there, kitty!".

I usually reach for make because it’s simple to get a simple project built but once I start throwing stuff like source code generators at it then I have to spend a bunch of time getting the dependency tree right so I’m not chasing bugs I’ve already fixed but didn’t get recompiled. Or recompile the whole thing when I change some trivial thing.

Still, for the stuff I do, it gets the job done without too much trouble.
PostgreSQL text search is awesome - for English and Roman type languages.

But Asian languages such as Thai, Japanese, Korean, etc are not going to work at all.

PostgreSQL is weird about joins. Joining on certain columns could be super fast but others dog slow. And this can flip depending on size of table and this index Cardinality.

That’s why it’s important on databases that grow quickly to check the performance of even simple queries as those can balloon in execution time as the profile of the data changes.

I usually do the alignment with tab: my Emacs wisp-mode knows the indentation levels in use in the file, so it’s just shift-tab to go back to the previous scope and tab to nest more deeply.

One observation I made is that wrapping an expression around several lines is often less intrusive, because I can simply insert a line before the block that uses only half the indentation.

Are you seriously suggesting one shouldn't take an institution's history into account when looking at a case? Like if the KKK does something, we should completely ignore their history of racism in figuring out what happened? That's absurd.

ACCC hasn't taken any interest in privacy for decades. The first time they showed an interest was the very same digital platforms review in 2018 that also led to them extorting Google and Facebook to hand over cash to Murdoch. We don't even have decent privacy laws, so the ACCC have been quite open about using section 18 of the consumer law as a means to enforce privacy standards against tech companies (said section is a vague prohibition on misleading or deceptive conduct, which can be interpreted as broadly as the ACCC likes which means it can be easily weaponised against whomever).

Australia has very high levels of market concentration and the ACCC is widely derided for failing to ensure competition. This is not a competent regulator. Of course one of the most concentrated industries is the media, which also hates tech companies, so the seeming alliance between the ACCC and traditional media conglomerates is of interest when considering their crusade against big-tech.

Regulatory capture is a well-known phenomenon, and it's especially dangerous when the captured regulators destroy competing industries. A recent example being the FDA's attacks on e-cigarettes because they've long been partially captured by traditional tobacco companies.

https://www.acsh.org/news/2022/05/27/study-raises-questions-...

A month after that was published btw, Matt Holman, chief of the office of science in the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, left for Philip Morris, a competitor to Juul's owner. This is how things work, it's just harder to find out about when it comes to Australia because, again, we don't have a functioning press, thanks to the ACCC.

Yeah, the information superhighway was NOT originally the web. Many influential people, like BillG, thought interactive TV and other such innovations would be the “big thing” until Netscape came out and began to completely transform the industry. Then, after a short bit, Netscape began supporting Java Applets and the world was made slightly crappier than it might otherwise have been.

EDIT: I say crappier due to security flaws that were present with JVM and Applets early on
Yeah the BPA free thing is ridiculous, just replaced it with some other molecules that are tweaked and not very studied.
> In the case of Tornado Cash, the app's only use is concealing the origin of financial transactions, which some could argue is never a legitimate use (and which others would argue is a legitimate use). Maybe the final arguments will come down to this legitimacy.

There are legitimate using an open ledger as Ethereum, privacy is a right.
For my part the problems with the JVM are manifold:

- it’s a heavyweight blob that you have to ship with your binary. It can be many times the size of the thing I’m trying to run.

- it’s a word salad of technologies that apparently I’m supposed to care about

- many of the claims of how great it is are really just ongoing claims of how great it’s going to be.

To the latter point, value types (discussed in this thread) have been discussed since I was still using Java - a quick Google shows results from 2014. I haven’t written Java code commercially since 2018. I can’t find anything suggesting it’s here yet.

Keeping track of all these technologies and trying to understand when they will arrive and make my day to day life better was a nightmare.

Compared to that, I can build a Go binary, scp it to some machine and run it. That’s not possible in the JVM world, at least not without a level of calisthenics I’m simply no longer willing to deal with.

GraalVM and friends may be wonderful technologies, but honestly I don’t care. I don’t want to have to thread the needle of this ecosystem every time I have work to get done.

They... uh... know that Autodesk is used in a lot of airgapped SCIFs, right? This was always our problem with moving flight simulators to pure SAAS: if the Air Force couldn't use it we couldn't afford to make it.

I was referring to the old Autodesk software which was dongled but offline-only. That won't ever lose features (but of course the marketing spin is that it won't gain any either, nevermind the fact that it was the software used to successfully create many designs...)
> Ruby on Rails follows the paradigm of Convention Over Configuration, that means that, if we name things in specific ways, and put things in specific places, the framework will do its “magic” and we’ll have all the good benefits.

> But again, there’s a catch here and we have to be careful, conventions are great but we can get unexpected behaviors if we don’t know them.

Indeed, at this point the framework is tantamount to a language unto itself. See also PHP vs. WordPress.

Further still, we get into IDEs that take over the situation, e.g. Eclipse vs. IntelliJ. Not only do we have to fret the Java distribution, but have to deal with the tooling for editing/building the code.

Nor does the problem seem to improve over time, except through one's retirement.
If Apple can keep it at $5, yeah. I’m not sure why Apple TV at $5 would make more sense than any other major streamer (or at least HBO, Disney+ (depending on who you are), Netflix, or Hulu at $8 with ads. Apple TV doesn’t have a negative reputation yet. Imo that is helped by their limited scope (Apple users only) and low price as you mentioned. It still doesn’t and doesn’t have any immediate plans to try to get that much bigger (based on their budget).

OTOH, when every one else has gone to at least $10 even with ads, then yeah $5 for Apple TV is crazy cheap. Though a ton of people have Amazon Prime and it doesn’t appear to get talked about too much or be a major deal for Amazon. They’re sinking a good amount of money into it too (thinking LOTR show and MGM $8B acquisition).

Netflix specifically has gotten a particularly bad reputation on HN in recent years. The number of comments relentlessly shitting on it have gone up a lot. Much like Apple TV’s general rep on HN is usually neutral/on the outside or positive.

I see "least charges" as a correct way to say "the smallest sum of charges". "Fewest charges" would mean to me "being charged as few times as possible". In London subway it's normally two times.

So, "least charges", but "fewest transfers" or "fewest stops".
It's a good point though. EXPLAIN should point exactly what was going wrong in their first attempt (where it was slower).

Postgres should be able to do that join in a single query faster than two queries with the latency in between.

So why isn't it?
In the Muskiverse, that's called "being edgy", and it's considered a good thing.

Ethics aside, the law is apparently pretty clear. The American Bar Association has an article discussing board game copyright[0], and here's what they say:

> Therefore, the systems or processes that make up the core of a game—generally referred to as the “game mechanics”—are not subject to copyright, even though the written rules, game board, card artwork, and other elements—often referred to as the “theme” of the game—may be. Game mechanics can be as simple as “roll dice and move a token along a track,” or far more complex. Regardless of the complexity or originality of a given game’s systems and processes, its game mechanics will likely not be protected by copyright.

I don't understand what you mean by "being selectively violent".

Who decides when it's time to be "selectively violent" and who gets to apply this "selective violence"?

Because I'm sure this same principle of "selective violence" could be easily used (and would gladly be used) as justification by the folks who think they're "fighting fascism" and the like.

Some of us say if you aren’t embarrassed by code you wrote 18 months ago that you aren’t learning fast enough. I think people who feel that way would in general agree that we should be constantly improving, not looking for status quo.

If the cost of maintaining your code grows logarithmically - and many projects do worse than this - then you have to constantly be finding ways to go faster just to keep getting the same amount of new logic into the system. This is something sometimes lost on people fixated on story points. They don’t notice that story points three years ago were “worth” more than story points today. Or maybe they do but they can’t prove it or even really name it. That would explain some of the friction I sometimes see with management.
> It's not. In fact, it's a fairly modern invention from the Nixon era created with the expressed purpose of rationalizing a socially conservative agenda.

The outcome of the Nixon era was to rein in the NSA, not expand it more. Read about the Church Committee.

Moreover, the U.S. government has copied telegrams crossing the U.S.'s international borders for nearly as long as overseas telegraphy has been a thing. The NSA themselves are happy to mention that the first U.S. civilian cipher-cracking agency was setup in New York City for easy access to major telegraphy operations, see https://www.nsa.gov/History/Cryptologic-History/Historical-E...

> It quite literally says "unreasonable search and seizures". How is this not a 4th Amendment violation?

'Seizing' is a legal term, where your property is taken and held by the government, as with some of the various oligarchs' yachts seized in the wake of Russia's attack on Ukraine.

That's not to say that a wiretap would have been considered OK by the writers of the Constitution, I just don't think they thought of the possibility of intercepting communications without seizing them.

Even back then there would be a concept of public records about people (think of property deeds, court records, baptismal registries, and so on). Many of those records would have been accessible to the government as a matter of course (e.g. registries maintained by a local church). So there's precedent for 'metadata' about people to be open to government without a warrant (especially if they are open to members of the public anyways). And frankly it wouldn't be until 1967 that any substantive restriction was finally put on government use of electronic communications. It wasn't even illegal for individuals to conduct wiretaps on other individuals until 1934!
