Wow I haven't seriously considered the merits of Atlas Shrugged for 35 years but this comment makes me wish GitLab et. all would just pull up stakes, move to the mountains, and see how all the people who expect "free for life" SaaS get on doing stuff themselves.

GitLab is an 8 year old underdog that's trying to push the limits of software development support and they made a change that affects "fewer than 2% of Free tier users within 0.3% of namespaces."[1] Maybe they don't know wtf they're doing but who does in this space? It's relatively new, competition is frantic, and companies are trying things. Maybe they always were planning on doing this, but maybe there were unintended consequences to offering this wide open free tier and they need to correct to stay solvent.

Whatever the reason you're absolutely right: If you don't like the product, don't use it. That 2% of the freeriders weren't going to convert anyway so losing them (and a few of their cheerleaders) from the funnel won't hurt them at all, because in the end they supply excellent value to the other 98% of their base.

> Okay, but what does the blockchain do exactly? You can have all that with traditional databases and asymmetric signatures.

I know nothing about this, but my guess is that the "blockchain" Walmart uses is more or less that: a distributed database (not everyone online all the time) with some signatures and eventual consistency.
> The first thing is denial. Saying this doesn’t even exist. That is a form of discrimination. There were messages on e-mail threads that talked about how this isn’t a problem here. If you replace the denial of caste discrimination with the denial of the Holocaust or something like that, it instantly clicks where other people start to realize, “Oh, something’s wrong if people are denying this.”

It seems like if you said there was discrimination against tall white men, people would also deny that.

Open source is a monetization strategy for corporations operated by and for mature adults who are attempting to profit. While there surely remain some humble hobbyists involved in the process, tech executives should stop hiding behind cultural norms of gratitude within the open source community that were meant for the true volunteers, not them.

It's like if I dressed up like a referee, went downtown to where some kids were playing basketball recreationally, screwed up a bunch of calls because I don't know what I'm doing, then got offended by the kids because they jeered my bad calls. I would be especially unsympathetic if I were only volunteering to referee the games for free as part of a for-profit scheme where I charge people to bet on the games.
Do you see Ukrainians vs Russians in an 'ethnic strife'? Serbs vs Croats vs Czechs vs Poles? Are Eastern Europeans homogeneous?
A lot of diesel vehicles can't pass America's emission standards of nitrogen oxides. Its the main driver behind Dieselgate.

So what we're saying here, is that fraudsters aren't smart enough to figure out this measure is being introduced and work around it?
But don't the keys to decrypt the stream have to remain in memory for at least as long as the stream itself is active? Or is the issue that the connection completes too quickly, so that that doesn't give you enough time?
Red Hat introduced modules with RHEL8, meaning they can easily make available more up-to-date versions of software if necessary. It's still not bleeding edge, but eg. PostgreSQL 13 was released on 2020-09-24 and that's available with support in RHEL 8 as a module. Similarly, you have eg. PHP 8, Ruby 3.0 and other software released after RHEL 8's initial release.

Modules are much nicer to use than the previous software collection system because they actually replace the "original" package, so it's just a straight version upgrade without having to worry about fixing configuration files etc. if it's compatible.
Waiting for the "yeah, but..." comments now.
The chatter seems to be it was a conscript base. Either the conscripts didn’t want to go, or what also happens is that bases get understaffed for X amount of people while still getting the money for those “missing” soldiers. Getting rid of evidence then becomes an option.

Burning plastic is, as I mentioned in my post, better than landfill if you use the energy for something and displace fossil fuels.

We don't really need to do that for much longer, since renewables are so cheap, so recycling is getting to be a better and better option and has been a good option for decades now.

Landfill has always been a last resort.

edit: figured out that with the reference to MVA you might have been saying that the US recycled too. They do, they don't do as much as they could and should because there's a lot of disinformation about it, but yes it's so obviously a good idea that even the US does it.

What I meant with reference to non US places was: recycle more and more stuff, don't moan and lie about it all the time, be an industrial leader not merely allow the US to get dragged kicking and screaming into saving money and improving people's health against the will of half the nation.
No the issue is that high caste Indians are every bit of vicious nepotists as WASP whites but for some reason only the threat of the WASP whites is taken seriously. My local laws literally treat caucasians and non-caucasians differently because they were written by white people who literally could not imagine themselves not being on top.

I also absolutely think there is a double standard in regards to how seriously allegations of racism against white and non-white managers are taken.

It's a new article so it's relatively easy to explain:

HN automatically combines submissions so that subsequent submissions count as upvotes for the first submission.

If a popular source posts a new article, users will "rush" to post it to HN to reap that sweet karma and the winner will "catch" the upvotes of the others.
Yeah, sadly you're not guaranteed some of the things that are needed for this to work. I defo believe the story that it took Knuth a day to figure this out, although when you see the answer it's pretty easy to understand.
My personal nightmare happened and accidentally published a rough draft! It has since been updated! Apologies!
The “god as first cause” argument feels like a stack overflow. It’s just what happens when you infinitely recurse a cause and effect chain. If you don’t want to spend rest of your life evaluating it, you eventually just give up and `throw new Exception(“a wizard did it”)`
Thank you very much for the insight and also for providing the example (in the other post).

What is your opinion on the Age of Empires series?
Yes, I would suggest increasing z-index on images so they pass above the toc. Adding a large dropshadow to the images the same color as the background would make it look like it fades out as it passes by. That's what I did for our blog that has a similar floating TOC + images that escape the text width.
It is amazing what collections of this newer-old hardware is still around. It is easy to find things like the early PCI video cards, accelerators like the 3dfx Voodoo, and even some classics like the awesomely(at the time) overclockable Celeron 300 on ebay or in garage sales. It is perhaps even more amazing to see how many 5150s and 5160s are still operational!
I was not saying I was on 160k - i would be happy to announce that if true however :/)

I miss my Note 4.

Had lots of sensors, plastic enclosure, removable battery... Great phone, very robust, fast, did not need to be handled delicately.

Then they made the enclosures glass. Now I have to handle a phone delicately and with considerable care. It's slippery! Wants to slide and hit the floor!

Next move?

Get rid of the headphone jack!

After that?

No SD card.

After that?

No removable SIM.

Now, it folds?

None of this makes my life better. None of it improves the robustness and utility of the device.

I bet the first company to make a robust, plastic case phone with all the good features put back into the product will do well.

People want the utility and robustness.
It would still be cringe and egotistical.
Winning?

Whoever responded about a BMW sedan isn’t me. I’m talking about US pickup trucks, since that’s what the original post is about.

The “aggressive” in the exec’s comment is my paraphrase, because I’m still looking for the original. It might have been “angry” or “violent,” for all I remember. Either way, the implication was clear: the trucks are meant to project hostility, not flamboyance.
That’s identification. It doesn’t account for other modes such as candidates having people “coach” them in real-time, either virtually or in the room. Yes, it absolutely does happen. The risk/reward of “cheating” a job interview is fantastic from the candidates perspective.
Pretty sure he's talking about the literal levels from blood tests. It is actually a very concerning issue.

I've been to the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio, where they have the B-29 that dropped the bomb on Nagasaki.

At first glance, it's just another plane in the museum. But if you actually let yourself think about it, it's somewhat more sobering: you're looking at the actual plane that actually flew and did it. It really brings home the reality of it. And it's a bit disturbing to think that a piece of machinery can end the lives of tens of thousands of people all at once, and that humans are even capable of building such things.

Anyway just thought I'd share my experience.
Did Russia ever admit that Moskva sank for other reasons than "fire caused a munitions explosion"?

It makes sense though, there's no benefit in accusing Ukraine in this, otherwise it means 2 things:

- anti air defense didn't work

- panic between civilians in Crimea (more so than now people already leaving their holidays)
What exactly is novel about this? I've participated in ISEF before and the amount of marketing/hyping and the lack of knowledgeable judges is frustrating. ISEF also clearly have a thorough fetish with patents. If you check the box on your form suggesting you may look into patenting in the future, your project performs a lot better.

grub4dos would IMHO be even better, it is a derivative of grub with an endless list of added features.
Totally agree that the optics on this were horrendous. And Amazon admitted as much 13 years ago.

The only slight thing I’ll say in their defense is that since the uploaded (it was through a self-service system) didn’t have the rights to upload those books (essentially, a third-party pirated the book, uploaded it to Amazon’s servers and then sold the book they didn’t have rights to), I understand the thought process that you’d delete and refund. It’s not like this was a legitimate book they removed. It was literally pirated. Removing books from purchaser’s devices was absolutely the wrong move and has created negative PR for Amazon for 13 years because of one bad decision. But Amazon has admitted it was the wrong move and to my knowledge hasn’t done it again.

In fact, there are a number of books I’ve bought from Amazon over the years that are no longer available on Kindle for a variety of reasons (sometimes publishers pull them, sometimes authors) that I can still download retroactively to any of my devices. So if I’m going to be locked into any ecosystem, and this is just me, I’d rather be locked into the ecosystem that has had its DRM cracked pretty succinctly (meaning I can use my purchases on non-Amazon devices or apps) and that has an insanely robust library of books. Oh, and that integrates with my Audible library.

Compare that to iBooks, where the DRM hasn’t been broken (at least, not the current scheme. Some people have had success using insanely old versions of iTunes and DRM rippers from more than a decade ago, but that’s not a reliable or approachable method) and I can’t read any of those books on my Eink devices, or Kobo, which doesn’t have as robust of a library and has always had that weird store-brand Frosted Flakes feeling, and I’m very happy to be inside the Kindle world.

Plus, my Kindle Oasis has truly been a treat. (I said I would never buy one and now have bought two, so jokes on me).
Inspiring story all round but this paragraph stood out for me:

“I didn't have a mentor to help me, really, so each time a motor failed, I had to do tons of research and try and troubleshoot what went wrong,” he says. “But eventually on the 15th motor, I was able to get a working prototype.”

I imagine most 17 year old would not have kept going 15+ times until they arrived at something which worked.
It wasn't always that way...it got sanitized a few years ago. I specifically remember the demanding Asian dad meme template being banned because it offended someone. And the overly attached girlfriend template, often used to make fun of our product design (things like today's YT premium trial nags).
We witnessed both a horrific and amazing event on September 11th. Amazing in that both towers collapsed in free fall without directly disturbing any closely neighboring infrastructure. Horrific in that we still openly accept this was possible.

How is this tough? Use a dict?

Edit: or even easier, because I didn't read the question properly the first time, sum all the numbers from 1 to n (use Euler's trick for extra points) and sum your array and take the difference.
Isn't the domain of most no-code/low-code "business process"? It's some glue between systems to collect or input data. It allows the expert on the business process to directly translate the manual process without others.

> Instead of using air gaps, Sansone thought he could incorporate another magnetic field into a motor. This would increase this saliency ratio and, in turn, produce more torque. His design has other components, but he can’t disclose any more details because he hopes to patent the technology in the future.

ah well great, we'll all just twiddle our thumbs waiting on that then instead of collaborating on how to integrate the good ideas here into existing large scale manufacturing.
This is great, the visual explanations work really well

One thing that threw me off is that it says for an SSD a random read is 150μs, but 1MB sequential read is 1ms? Shouldn't sequential reads be faster, or are two different read sizes being compared or something? If so, the ambiguity may confuse some people to think random reads are faster
On Star is both equipment and a subscription to use it. They mean the vehicle was equipped... with the equipment. Not that they were paying for the subscription. The "mandatory" subscription is a new announcement, and does not apply to previously purchased vehicles.
Love how they condensed the first SQL query example onto one line and then gave their example over multiple, deliberately making the SQL hard to read and obscure.

What about N-N relations? How hard has doing LEFT / INNER / OUTTER JOIN become - is learning SQL really to much for the modern dev (Somewhat sincerely asking)?
I don't think GP was suggesting any official affiliation between Red Hat and canonical. I think they were making a point that there's a lot of potential users on Ubuntu who might switch to podman if it were available. When trying to establish a project, user acquisition is a critically important part.

I agree with them. I think Red Hat should be making effort to get podman working well in Ubuntu (well, Debian but would benefit Ubuntu). Although it's very possible that Red Hat is trying and have met resistance. Canonical wants for a very different direction and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they were throwing road blocks in the way (or at least, doing nothing to remove the road blocks).
`std::thread::scope` takes a closure, and joins the threads after the call to the closure returns, rather than relying on `Drop`.
We don't produce enough!

Imagine a world in which the only product is apples.

If everyone needs 3 apples per day to be healthy and happy - and you only produce 1 apple per person - it does not matter if the richest 0.1% get 200 apples per day. If you distributed them evenly, there is still not enough apples. And distributing them evenly does not even improve things in any significant way.

Sure, it is a problem. The bottom decile that lives on .1 apple per day now gets .3 apples per day. But they still don't even have close to enough apples! Neither does anyone else!

People like to hand-wave this away. But GLOBAL GDP per capita is less than $11,000 per year. That is NOT enough money for everyone to have a house with a white picket fence, and a car in the garage, and a chicken in the oven, and a wife who stays at home and takes care of the kids. It's not even enough for everyone to live a life that resembles being upper lower class in France.

And remember, the rich pay most of the taxes. Now you have to pay an even share - so of your $11,000, 25% of that is taxes! You only actually get ~$8,200.

~$8,200 per year wouldn't even qualify you for a mortgage to buy a $35,000 house. That's barely buying you enough materials to build a dollhouse. It's not buying you land anywhere you'd want live. And it's definitely not enough to connect to utilities.

Distribution is a problem. THE problem is total output. ~$11,000 per person per year. Remember this is in inflated 2022 dollars - ~$9000 in 2019 dollars - this is including all-time highs due to massive stimulus and unprecedented levels of debt. ~$9000 in 2019 dollars is Mexico's GDP per capita - Bulgaria & Belarus. I love Mexico to death - but these are not paradises.

Globally, the much bigger problem is that there are not enough apples being produced!

Locally, in the US and the EU - GDP per capita is quite high. If we lived in a socialized society, sure, things could definitely be better for minimum wage workers.

But I'm quitting my job at FAANG tomorrow to be a yoga teacher if I make the same amount of money. I don't know who in their right mind is going to continue being a nurse or most doctors. I'm not sure why many people are going to do hard physical labor like construction or dangerous jobs like fighting fires and crime - if everyone makes the same amount of money... Good luck keeping production high and society functioning...
I feel like this could also just be based off a "biased" sample set. Like you're more likely to notice a large truck with fog lights, meanwhile the Ford Maverick is sold out for the entire next year and it's fords nicest looking, smallest hybrid truck
I suppose it was a "left over" from my time in France where the price was just above 10ct/kWh.
Using nix I ended up realizing that I want my system to be almost empty, providing not much more than a shell to any project I'm working on.
Anything that's comes from my system is something that might bite anyone else or myself when using the project, and allow the classical "works on my machine" scenarios, luckily here at least the issue is that it won't build.
One of my earliest jobs was dishwasher. I saw so much waste. Part of my work involved jumping into the dumpster and stomping/hopping around to pack down the garbage so it wouldn't overflow before pickup time.

This is an impressively detailed piece and I agree with most of it, but changing the culture around these things is very hard. There are people salvaging food which would otherwise be wasted, and on many occasions I've been one of them... it makes me glad to know there are backchannel options for those who are struggling or can put the food to good use. Sadly, the social stigma is still very high, and that will continue to be a major barrier.

As the author points out, we are never going to give up the current system voluntarily. If it is to happen at all, it will be a result of some kind of crunch. I guess the silver lining is that there's still plenty of slack in the system to feed the most desperate among us right now. In any case, my parents taught me to fold leftovers into casseroles or stews and I'm glad for it-- you never know when those skills might be more than just an ideological preference.
>I would be able to take this more seriously if "cyber" weren't found in the title

Can I ask why? What's wrong with the word "cyber"? The field is called "cybersecurity".
> the American pickup truck industry isn’t dominated (or even particularly influenced) by European demand

It is, however, influenced by European regulations to the extent that American pickup makers desire a) to sell in the European market at all and b) desire to minimise re-engineering costs.
You are entitled to that opinion, but exclusive distribution is antithetical to the idea of competitive enterprise. If we are going to continue to go that route, America should stop pretending we care about robust markets.
