I don't think universality is a prerequisite for validity

For that matter I guess I would disagree with the UN. Someone who forfeits their basic human rights, for example, would not be entitled to them. So in that sense they're not universal.
Germany has an enormous trade exchange with China and one of the Merkel policies was not to rock the boat too much.
just how much capitalist social relations have distorted our ability to understand time and space.

This is meaningless bullshit. The fact you can purchase, for an hour's wage, a digital pedometer than was built on one continent from raw materials from another and then shipped to a third is a breathtaking triumph.
It is not misused in the slightest, particularly where animals are concerned.

This article talks about medieval England in particular, which has excellent survival of detailed records of many things, including the bloodsports which were popular occurrences everywhere in the kingdom.

It doesn't sit right with me that watching roosters and dogs maul each other, often to death, was among the most popular of entertainments in the era. But it was.
> I am not sure if Zoom INTENTIONALLY left the bug for future exploits.

What would they stand to gain from this? They already have root on the machine, so they could just send an "update" to that code to do whatever they need.
Because private cars are incredibly convenient compared to street cars. Faced with significant tax increases for street cars that only go a few places, and car infrastructure that can allow people to go directly from point to point, it was a no brainer.

I just loaded up my Toyota 4Runner and dumped a bunch of junk at the town dump. I didn’t plan this in advance, I didn’t have to rent a truck (how do I get there anyway?) I just did it on a whim. To compete with the convenience of point to point private transit, public transit would have to be vastly cheaper and it isn’t.
Biologically, maybe, but only a little and it won't explain the feeling that it's a lot. I don't think it has much to do with any age related cognitive decline and mostly to do with more responsibilities, more things competing for your time and an objectivity that causes you to have different priorities.

As I've gotten older I've only had more and more things competing for my time. I have a family, a home, hobbies, etc. I just can't devote hours and hours of uninterrupted time. With experience there's a lot of "ain't gunna need it" and if I do I'll learn it then. I've got plenty of stuff that I sank tons of time into in my younger years that only faded into memories and didn't turn out to be very useful.

As far as tech goes you'll see enough stuff come and go that sinking that much time into it will feel like a waste. Remember SOAP, SOA, XML, XSLT, EJB, CORBA, MapReduce, Mesos, Java Applets, etc? A lot of what you're doing now is going on that list.
C'est interessant, merci!

It seems cocotte = English 'casserole'; casserole = saucepan.

The enamel vs. cast iron interior of a cocotte IME in the UK is not significant, but in the US going by Wikipedia anyway enamel = French oven; pas d'enamel = Dutch oven.

...I suppose we've no hope of agreeing on all this if we can't even have a 'cup' be the same size! (Or convince Americans that they shouldn't be (and in many cases would find it easier if they weren't) using volumetric measures for everything anyway, for that matter.)
Democracy is a system that rises out of power to the people.

People who own nothing have little power.
For sauces I would suggest an enameled cast iron pot that won’t rust and can handle acids.
Yup I use ad blocker.
thank you!

I remember I did a quick google search but I couldn't find anything and gave up, just used gnome-terminal for that task and didn't bother investigating further. Thankfully I don't generally work with text files that contain emojis :)
Google Meet is a great example of an app that uses AV and works well, running in a browser. Even with a large number of participants - and no client required.

On the other hand, Zoom web client is an afterthought, to put it nicely.
It's weird how long it's taken golang to get a serious concurrent cache. It still does not appear that this one allows for time-based eviction (write or last access).
It looks interesting, is there some information that describes whether this runs an upstream Linux kernel without version-locked binary blobs?

It says it runs Android, and thus the above makes the difference on whether I one rely on 2 years of updates or 20 years of updates.
It has been the case with most companies I have consulted with, as a management consultant that this is rarely the case.

The CEO and his favorite executives and VPs salesmen live inside their own little bubble with little real knowledge of the problems and challenges that the company is facing internally.

This is why I made good money.

It is easy to see this when management sends out decrees on how to improve
performance or throughput .. etc that does not contain any mention of, nor solutions to the problems that is keeping the performance / throughput /(or whatever fitting metrics are for the company)

I might have a bias in that I have mostly worked with companies that hired us to help them. It is possible that the pool I have been exposed to is different than the majority but I do not think so.

I know of companies that are run in a more sane way but they are usually smaller, at least in number of employees and thus leadership is more aware of how things work.
Meh, peak beneath the veneer on any of these examples and you'll find a cast of establishment figures pulling all the strings and pushing all the narratives.
A thumb drive. I was there to buy like 80% of the components of a new system, but they had fuckall for PSU, CPU or RAM. Knew at that point they weren't long for this world.
I remember seeing an Andy Rooney segment on 60 Minutes back when he was alive, and he bought a small motor scooter to navigate New York City with. I'll never forget his conclusion.

"It's too fast to be safe on the sidewalks, but too slow to be used in traffic. So I packed it back in its box and put it in a closet, never to be used again."
Your article says no such thing.
I won't repeat what I said about flippers since I replied to multiple other comments but they would still exist but provide flipping/renovation as a service(see other comments).

People can sell whenever they want, my restriction is the profit margin. I have no problem with that margin being more and more over time so long as that rate is nationally set to be uniform.
That’s true. Although now that I read the article, the quoted sentence comes right after they mentioned 9 hours of a stationary ship so I guess it’s possible to keep that on in the background and not miss the plot.
But oil goes bad after some time (I think the proper term is oil goes rancid).

I stopped using my pans that required oil because of that.
I thought about challenging you with writing a thermal energy transfer equation, but will stop at writing two constants: heat capacity of cast iron vs stainless steel: 540 vs 500 J/(Kg*°C). So just buy a stainless steel cookware 7.5% heavier than cast iron - and you are all set.
bash is a bad example for these types of interview questions because, as others have noted, bash disables many of these tty features and handles them in-process.

Another example: The author touches on line discipline, but then makes the mistake of saying "The command is actually stored in the TTY after it is typed and before the Enter key is pressed" This isn't true in bash, or on any modern shells that support line editing features like tab completion.

If you're going to use this for an interview question, I suggest using cat(1) instead -- it will behave as the author suggests.
> Well, how about producing highly skilled teachers, that seems important in a technological society, where mathematical skills are in general critically important. Hence, a critical part of the PhD student's job (and the professor's) is the instruction of the undergraduate population. This article doesn't even mention the importance of that role.

They don't mention it because it's unimportant. Your thesis committee cares about your research and that's it. If your advisor is well funded, you can easily finish a stem PhD and never teach a single class. If you do have to teach, getting perfect feedback or terrible feedback from student evaluations has zero bearing on whether you earn a PhD.
Friends of mine are mixing weekends. They do one together followed by one each doing things by their own they want to do. So the introvert can e.g. stay home and refresh while the extrovert is again meeting people.
While not directly at war with Russia, many European nations are engaged in Ukraine by proxy.

Poland stands out as a massive military logistics hub without which the Ukrainian army would struggle to import any Western stuff.

If the Poles weren't under the protective umbrella of NATO, I suspect that the Russians would already have tried to destroy Rzeszow airport.
Not that I know of. I came across a more complete picture[1], with probably more accurate numbers than my recollection (Australia turns out to have much, much more uranium than I remembered, for example). They don’t really mention significant resources in Europe, but there might be a discrepancy between resources that can be mined, and just stuff that’s in the ground or something like that. Wikipedia mentions 119000 tonnes in Czechia, but I don’t know how reliable it is[2].

The controls get stuck on my Android phone. It'd be much more fun if that didn't happen.

The fact you have to land fully in the 'landing pad' is also immensely annoying. With a more play testing and better controls it could be fun.

I'm really tempted to make a clone in React.
It's not specific to HN. And I guess a regular agenda might do. I'd guess that's how journalists make sure to follow up with things in the "this day 3 years ago x happened" articles?

But I agree I'd like a dedicated place for such reminders.
From my experience, it depends...

Is this a test suite I run during my development cycle? If so, I get distracted if it takes more than half a minute, open HN, and lose a bunch of time.

Is this a test suite that runs once I open a pull request? It can run an hour or two, I don't mind. I'll move on to the next thing and check tomorrow morning if it's passed. If it failed I start my day by investigating why. I care very little about speed here.
Been using it for a number of years, worth while and have donated on occasion in support of their work.
Oops, that's not right. The cheapest place is Antarctica.

(These assume the cost to install a wind turbine is the same everywhere, which obviously isn't right, but it does give an idea how good the wind resource is in these places.)
It's the same problem and fate adobe had. Adobe should have STOPPED all flash/photoshop/reader products to apple early like 2005. Instead they played along and slowly died. You will hear the same reasons "security!".
I recently switched from Pi-Hole to Adguard Home just to try it out. So far the user experience isn't any different but I have to say the Adguard web UI is quite nice.

I have to say installation on Ubuntu Server (which I run on a Pi4 just fine) couldn't be easier as it is as simple as 'sudo snap install adguard-home' and it all just works. Very nice.
Unfortunately, EC2 is not an option if we want to deliver 1 minute promise. I need VMs that I can flash start with all the software needed to run the tests immediately available. The best I was able to achieve is 20 seconds using my current provider. However, they charge in hour increments.

That being said, I am constantly experimenting how to reduce costs. I think the final result is going to be a fairly complicated orchestration of pre-booted machines that are rented by month and those that we spin up ad-hoc to handle demand fluctuation.
Ahhh, sorry. Unfortunate for me that you chose spinach for your example! Thank you.
OK, that I definitely was not aware of. Thanks for taking the time to explain it.
If you want to target the sme's I might suggest just separating out your value, set a few simple tiers and make it easy to plug a cloud backend in (only needs one provider at first). This way your value and cost is direct and obvious and you're not left managing a fleet of vm's. This probably increases the total cost a little as there's less sharing, but a lot of medium org's can manage that internally and it's much easier to convince a manager to spend $xx/$xxx a month rather than $xxxx or more
Off-topic comment ahead.

I'm trying to reconnect with my sister with whom I lost contact while we were kids.
I link to this page containing both our names and a way to contact me, for search engines and archives to index: https://zmarshall.nl/static/orian-marshall.html .

Infuriating. Especially as I've had to use specific old ISOs to work around MS bugs.

Dragging a specific legacy system up to current required an early version of 10 (version around 1707 I think? Maybe 19xx?). It would just silently fail to upgrade with a meaningless error on the current one.
I was just playing around with Python 3.10 for the first time today. I made an algebraic/sum-type (dataclasses + typing.Union), then did some structural pattern matching on a value of that type (match statement), and Mypy could tell me statically when the pattern matching wasn't exhaustive!

I think it's pretty damn amazing how well Python has been able to evolve into the realm of static typing. And no unofficial superset syntax required!
Software and infrastructure companies charge huge multiples of the hosting costs of providing their products and services all the time. The value they add isn't just leasing a VM on your behalf.
Now this is concerning
Adobe isn’t dead
Sauce Labs is a good comparison. They charge for more concurrency, which really strikes directly at the value prop you are discussing - saving time running a large test suite.
SerenityOS uses this pattern heavily: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/master/AK/Try.h
I don't see how it can though - at least it can't do it in a statically typed way because half of the Python ecosystem hasn't bothered with static types and the semantics of the type hints that do exist isn't defined.

So you'll end up with everything you import being `any` which is not really any better than just using Python.
Inertia and gravity are the same on all the levels. I don't know why it would feel different...
Yes, levels 8 and 9 are meant to be more challenging. you might encounter obstacles like that in the random levels. Each level of the tutorial is meant to give you practice tackling different kinds of obstacles.
I would love to see what automatic inputs can do for some of these levels :)
This is weird. No normal person is going to watch 857 hours. The only person to watch that long are movie industry people, so they can write about it.

Separate question, how do you monetize this?
Yeah the main problem is France basically did amazing with nuclear for like 30 years and then in the last 20 they basically flat-lined in total production.

And the dropped all their advanced nuclear and is still planning expensive PWR style reactors until 2050.

France had developed a Sodium cooled reactor but because of anti-nuclear sentiment they only built one and killed it. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superph%C3%A9nix

That we are still not using high temperature air cooled reactors is just an absolute shame.

France did a great thing for the world by investing into nuclear and saving lots of CO2 before it was cool. However unfortunately they didn't do as good a job with advancing the technology.
I would hope this wasn’t a software engineering interview question. I’ve been in industry a while, and would have no idea what to say if asked about this in an interview.
The language on the website seems to be targeted to an audience with knowledge of a subset of languages. Instead it would help if it talked about the problem it seems to solve for a regular "general purpose" programmer.

Doesn't help that the author comes off as super defensive.
Nah, the RTOS side in Rust is still in its infancy. Hubris is pretty cool but really only supports two families of chips (and requires an MPU iirc).

Rust's ecosystem still struggles with no_std, so the majority of crates won't work. Worse (for me) is that using Rust with arrays (not heap allocated vec's) is still a pain.
Interesting this would be posted on a Saturday. Yet another Saturday I'm working hard to meet a deadline.

I'm interested in trialing this service. Cypress takes forever. Feel free to reach out.
Because they aren’t competing in the hardware sector. And as others pointed, it would annoy the many employees who use iProducts. Also it would add to the narrative of Zuckerberg becoming slowly unhinged.

Aren’t cast iron skillets usually made heavier though? Ie, sure heat capacity is similar per kg but if one is almost always 2-3x heavier than the other then it’s going to retain more heat
This is interesting. So is the person writing here is one of these personalities? Or are "you" watching one of these personalities writing?

If the former, are there any personalities that are not aware they are one of many?

Whats the purpose of "free-tier" API SaaS.

For example, does "free-tier" provide an opportunity for the "API SaaS" operators to collect personal information, or at least email addresses, belonging to users who have no intent of paying the "API SaaS".

The notion of "fraudulent sign-ups" for something allegedly offered for "free" sounds funny. Fraud implies that the alleged perpetrator is obtaining something unlawfully or unfairly. However if that thing is "free" then how could this ever be true. Perhaps the operator of the "free" service actually is expecting to receive (or take) something from the user. When the user fails to provide or allow the operator to take this thing from her, then the operator complains of "fraud".

The problem with this reasoning is that it fails to account for value of the right to privacy.

Consider a telephone analogy, imagine a _toll-free_ number for free information. Imagine the operator referring to callers with unlisted numbers or ones who did not allow caller-ID when calling a toll-free number to obtain free information as comitting "fraud on the service".

As a user, I see no point in "free-tier services" that require "sign-up" because they are really not "free". The user is being asked to give up some of her rights in exchange for the "service".

Consider a public square analogy, imagine someone standing on a street corner handing out _free pamphlets_ but requiring people to "sign-up" to receive one. Then imagine the pamphlet publisher accusing those who did not provide real names and other details when "signing-up" as comitting "fraud".

If the operator ceases the "free-tier" tactics to gather data/information about users and simply sells paid service then this problem "fraud on our service" becomes moot. The question becomes why the operator feels it _must_ provide "free" service.

Consider a www analogy, imagine the "CTO" of HN accusing users who read HN but do not create accounts or provide their real names to HN as committing "fraud on our service".

The www provides an enormous amount of free information. Beyond purchasing service from an ISP, no other "sign-up" is required. Accusing www users of committing "fraud" for retrieving such information without "signing-up" is silly.

The majority of "fraud" occuring via the internet is not being perpetrated by users on "tech" companies. It's being perpetrated by "tech" companies on users.
How early? In the 2000s there were plenty of scams. I still
remember falling for a banner ad scam "You are the 1000000th customer and you won a prize" sitting for hours submitting form after form survey after survey card after card until I gave up from frustration.
Isn't Stonehenge an astronomical site. So by definition, the oldest astronomical site would be at least as old as Stonehenge
I’m one of the people who uses cloud workstations sometimes. Lots of places ban you from doing stuff. Even Minecraft lol
For context, they were previously using BrowserStack and paying USD 999. As far as I know, they are using both services at the moment in parallel (mostly because of their year long commitment and other services that BrowserStack provides to them that fall out of scope).

We already agreed to discuss the idea of doubling the capacity.
Thank you for the earnest follow-up. I'll read the links, but the key part I was missing was about the mRNA degradation, which folds the rest of my post like a deck-chair. I wish that governments posted a write up similar to this in addition to simple advice guaranteeing safety, as I feel I've seen various partial perspectives on the matter and not assembled the correct whole as a result.
Both of those books by Henderson are great. I did my senior year thesis on a LispKit implementation.
I mean, in a thread about discontinuing a rewards program with ample notice, it seems pretty relevant to mention the credit card which suffered the same fate.
Yeah just like a recession is not a recession and that inflation is now 0 apparently.

This is all statism 101, the state must survive above the nation.
The equivalent action is simply a fine such that the assets are gone.

It's pointless to dissolve a corporation, as new ones can be formed. A corporation is just a formal name and structure we give to a group of people working together.

The way to destroy means is to seize assets.
That would be a great way to upset enough employees to meet their attrition goals.

Some employees are going to need to use Apple products because of their job, obviously. Others have strong preferences. Others may not want to deal with a forced migration.

Good luck finding a stainless steel pan that even weighs as much as a cast iron, let alone more.
I think it's just that cast iron pans usually come heavier. My relatively heavy 28 cm stainless steel pan (Ikea Sensuell) is 1.7 kg, while my 29 cm cast iron is 3.1 kg.

I wish there were heavier and affordable stainless steel pans for searing, as I can just chuck those in the dishwasher.
So in this case the investor is taking a few hundred thousand dollar loss so the building can then be sold for a loss and rented at a price that makes market rent make sense?

I feel restrictive zoning is a much bigger issue than empty unsustainable houses.
The only time your costs should have anything to do with how you price something is when your customers know how much they are and they influence how much they'll pay, or setting lower limits so you don't go out of business.
> if the program was providing value, perhaps in the form of retention, then the value exceeds the loss.

This looks like a syllogism, but it is not. If something provides value, it does not mean that the value exceeds the loss. Otherwise everything useful would be profitable, like my gold toothbrush.
I live in Norway, and it seems to work just fine. The density isn't all that high compared to, say, NYC, but anyways there definitely are plenty of multi-unit apartment building, which suffer from the same organizational problems, that manage to survive fine as individually owned units. I am not qualified to speak too much on this, but anyways it's certainly a solved problem, and there should be plenty of templates from other places to build off of.
