In a strict linguistic sense, these are not tenses, they are... aspects, I think.

In practice, you can lump tense, aspect, and mood together and call them all "tenses." Especially because many languages can end up partially conflating them, insisting on a formal dichotomy based on the specific information being conveyed in verb forms or based on how it is grammatically represented (inflection versus modal verbs versus what have you).

Effective CO2 reduction can only happen if a sensible and effective policy is taken, to wit:

1. a tax on the carbon content of fuels

2. nuclear plants for base load power

and the rest will be taken care of by natural market forces.

Green energy will never be practical without nuclear power:

> To deal with this, according to Huang, Nvidia will reduce the number of GPUs it sells to manufacturers of graphics cards and laptops so that those manufacturers can clear out their existing inventory.

So what happens to the abundance of cards? They have to sell them sometime, don't they? Will they sell those to integrators and other B2B partners as a tactic to keep the supply for gamers restricted in an effort to keep the high MSRPs?

In 2017 it was practical to get an entry-mid (GTX 1060, RX 480) level GPU for <$200 USD. Now the MSRPs for similar cards are a solid 50% more and the gains from each generation haven't been that significant.

I think the long term strategy is to price GPUs so ridiculously that services like GeForce Now for $200 per year start to look like a good deal. If Intel ARC wasn't around I'm convinced we'd see reductions in supply, increases in prices, and a bigger push for game streaming.

It wouldn't even surprise me to see AMD and Intel get into game streaming deals and for the whole industry to trend in that direction.

I know PAM gets criticized here and there, sometimes heavily, but it's actually a super flexible system. The thing that really stands out is that no application actually needs to know about all the various authentication methods possible. That file in /etc/pam.d/ just corresponds to the app's "service name", and you (as the machine administrator) can put in it whatever you want. The app just needs to go "Hey PAM, I want to start authentication using service 'sudo'", and then PAM will send instructions to the app, like "Display the text 'Place your finger on the fingerprint scanner'", or "Display the text 'Password:' and then prompt for masked input".

It's really quite flexible, and despite its age, still works pretty well with current programming paradigms, whether your UI is text or graphical or whatever. The one oddity is that when it asks you to prompt for some kind of user input, it will actually expect you to return the resulting input from the same callback function. So if you're using a modern-ish GUI toolkit, you'll need to run the PAM stuff off on a different thread that's allowed to block while your UI thread is free to do what it needs to do. But overall that's just... fine?

You might have incorrectly attributed a post/comment to me. There is no criticism of tone in my post. Nothing about style, audience, formality.

My comment is based on the following:

Much of the first 15-20 pages are complaints about the company optimizing and incentivizing what he believes to be the wrong metric. There is nothing illegal about it. Twitter are clear about it, shareholders know what they are trying to do. He's naive if he thinks it's a legal issue. It's probably not even a moral or business issue - if raw bot count becomes a user experience problem, it will cause mDAU to drop.

He appears unprofessional in his constant wanting to go to the board - he was a security lead, it's not his place to go to the board. He reported to a guy who reported to a guy who reported to the board.
I've never considered Occam's Razor as a tool of oppression until this comment. Thank you for this perspective.
Yeah that's what I thought, but I couldn't find definitive proof besides old posts from the early days.
VAX/VMS called them "descriptors", which had IIRC 16 bits of flags, a 16-bit length, and a 32-bit pointer -- descriptors could be used for different object types, not just strings. The 64k length limit and 32-bit address were not a big issue back in 1982 when I first used them.

I used (Wirth's standard) Pascal in our compiler class in college. String handling was actually pleasant in Fortran-77 on VMS, so I figured pure Pascal had the worst string handling of any language -- until I started programming in C. I finally made peace with C strings, but a couple of decades later, Forth said to me, "Here, hold my beer." I wrote some Forth-word equivalents of some of the C Library string functions to make my life a little easier! :)

Latham identified industry inefficiencies, condemning existing industry practices as 'adversarial', 'ineffective', 'fragmented', 'incapable of delivering for its clients' and 'lacking respect for its employees'.

I get that it was traumatic, but I don't think we should begin comparing the trauma and distress of a bad plane ride for someone with a fear of flying to the trauma and distress of a plane crash.

by 'hurt' the earlier parent was pretty obviously (at least for me) referring to the chance at an outright failure and crash resulting in injury or loss of life.

not that a bad experience and the resulting psychological trauma doesn't constitute 'hurt'; but it's a kind of hurt that one stands a chance to recover from .

This is one of the worst things in most codebases I see. Today I was told to use function X to solve my problem. Checked: 0 docs on what it does and why/how; although used extensively in the codebase. Read existing code and try to infer it, every damned time.
> most people have a natural child out of subconscious narcissism

I would imagine the desire to have a child that is genetically yours is a consequence of evolution. Those whose genes instill within them the desire to have a child of their own would be more driven to actually reproduce and pass on those genes.
Global recession of glaciers is not a localized phenom.

Poppycock.

There is plenty of evidence of oceanic increase and decrease as a part of longterm global trends around freezing and warming cycles.

I have around 2 million pages from FOIA requests that need information systematically extracted and I'm not alone in this problem. The costs for the systematization of many pages will be prohibitive.

The issue is that novel paper ideas will be split across multiple years (and even multiple conferences), making it much harder to actually see the whole picture for a reader. Each little piece of the paper will often also be bloated with unnecessary extra detail in order to reach the threshold for "minimum publishable paper".

I'm familiar with the argument that nuclear power is the answer to greenhouse gas emissions. Still, this article is the next level of pro-nuclear propaganda as it launches into quite the anti-environmentalist screed. For example:

> The postwar American environmental movement began as an outgrowth from the eugenaics movement.

and

> Having fallen out of favor during World War II due to its associations with Nazism, eugenics returned with gusto under the banner of “population control” after the war.

The pro-nuclear lobby has no argument against Chernobyl, which has created an absolute exclusion zone of (literally) 1,000 square miles nearly 40 years later with no end in sight, other than to simply ignore it as an outlier that isn't relevant because the USSR doesn't exist anymore.

Likewise, Fukushima, which along with Chernobyl is the only other level seven nuclear incident, is simply written off:

> No one was harmed by nor did anyone receive lethal doses of radiation.

All the same arguments against nuclear power still apply: nuclear waste from fuel processing, nuclear waste from fuel, transporting of fuel and waste, trusting people in corporations and governments to adequately build and maintain such plants and the very fact that not a single nuclear power plant in the world hasn't been built without significant government help (which is why the pro-nuclear lobby will focus on operational costs rather than capital or total costs).
you should probably focus less on hardware limitation since you're still learning as it's not like you're going to develop the newest hot ml tech or something.

you say you live in Italy, wouldn't it be possible for you to work part time as a waiter or something to gather funds while you learn in the other part?

you can find any book for free on the internet if you dig enough.

you seem to be caught up on wanting to get a job that offers the most money. salaries depend on the location of the person. if you live in silicon valley your salary is going to be higher than someone living in italy.

you say you've bought security books in hopes of bug bounty hunting but then felt like you're losing time?. it seems like you want to learn something fast to start making money. people won't hire you if you don't know shit about the things you're supposed to know. so taking the time to learn isn't a negative thing at all.

and then you say because of that you jumped into full stack development. but now you don't like it and you're asking us if you should continue. only you can answer these types of questions. people come from different background here in HN. some are db admins, soft devs , swes...etc nobody can answer your question.

my advice for you would be to try to figure out what you like the most, then try to build things with it. for example build a full stack application using any tech. anything to get your foot going to get a feel about the job. i also find it hard that you can't find a job for a tech other than php in italy?. i would assume so in a third world country but not in italy. also ever heard of remote work? freelancing?... etc. i feel like you just get too caught up on job opportunities salary and stuff that you don't get to focus on actually learning and improving. a lot of great people in web dev got there after doing shitty jobs getting garbage salaries. you have to do it because you like it not how many $ you gain.

apple.com is just a redirect to www.apple.com, which does have IPv6.

Apple has been slowly but surely adding IPv6 to their public network services - App Store and OS downloads come over IPv6, and their NTP resolver just added IPv6 support.

I guess the department that controls that apple.com -> www.apple.com redirect just hasn't bothered, which is interesting because such a simple, dumb redirect service is one of the easiest things to dual-stack (as in it probably doesn't store IPs or have to worry about blocking at all, it just responds with a 301)
What’s the argument for the other side? I can see how someone would put up with it in exchange for some other benefit (money, unique company) but not how they would want it for its own sake.
The inflation thing is hugely complicated. People like to blame it on the COVID checks like giving people a couple months rent over the course of 3 years is really sufficient to have a large effect on the economy.

In reality COVID stimulus didn't help (inflation specifically), but you can't just look to individual stimulus to see it, you also have to look at all the stimulus targeting businesses. Even then it's just one small factor. Supply shocks, Russia, sudden changes in consumer behavior, low interest rates and more all play in. It's not a simple problem with a single cause, but it's more satisfying to point and blame one factor some else is responsible for, so most discourse on the topic, even from those we'd hope would know better since they are in charge of fixing it, is worthless.

I think the performative, results-based culture of academia in general (particularly in Asia and not just Chinese) has seriously succumbed to Goodhart's law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law

Because you are judged on citations, publication count in prestigious journals, and research dollars spent... you have people citing themselves and their friends in citation rings, gaming the referee process to pick reviewers, and doing unethical things for money.

My first experience in this is when I was asked (as a postdoc) to give a keynote for a no-name conference in Vancouver. They were paying so why not? I later realized that my pedigree was being used to lend credence to a conference that was totally cargo cult academia. There were conference sessions, and people presenting, and bunches of people in several rooms, but nothing was actually being said and nothing was being done. They then offered me $3,000 cash in an envelope which I declined to take most of because of ethical reasons (I only wanted to cover my expenses). A very unique, maybe even out-of-body experience to stay the least.

If you want to see a crazy instantiation of cargo cult academia, google "extreme learning machines", which is basically a whole field built off of 2-layer feedforward neural networks with 1 randomly initialized layer. The other keynote at this conference was the guy who "started" this field.
There are some bugs in browsers that are decades old and they do not get fixed, precisely because of this IMO - no one knows part X of codebase anymore, learning it would take weeks, as it's probably written in idiomatic C++ from 2003 :) and there are other priorities (mostly shipping new stuff).
> There are a lot of luddites.

In chip design, there are a lot of non-software people who have been burned by software people. Given the amounts of money flying around, there are always a lot of charlatans looking to take a chunk out of you.

We used to do CI--a complete CI on our chip took 4 days. The library took 3 weeks to go through CI. Version control sucks unless your data is text--generally that's only your Verilog. Tcl is a decent enough language--the problem is that the stuff you write is no more than a one off and the real product is your chip--so nobody is going to reward you for a "good" script in any language. SystemVerilog wasn't meant to be a good language--it's an EDA vendor lockin meant to extract maximal money from hardware people.

And I've seen more verification in hardware before shipping a product than I EVER have seen in any software role. Yes, even those with "good" testing.
I think there's a certain contingent that reacts to any regulation with "fine, then I'll take my ball and go home". Country has safety requirements, they deny any service to that country as retribution.

The real world has more shades of grey. Delta can probably put a note in their scheduling system to make sure the airliner in question doesn't go to that country. They also know how much money they lose if they take their ball and go home, and probably wouldn't even be flying the route if it was completely unprofitable. (There are probably partners that rely on the service, and maintaining a good relationship with business partners is important too in a less financially-obvious way.)

Canada has 3 out of 4 currently operating nuclear plants in Ontario. France has them scattered throughout the country. I believe that’s why Ontario is specifically mentioned.
