How about leaving it at shutting down and be done with it.
> On the plus side, they're more likely to be well educated

Academics are much better educated , but they have molded the academic system in a way that it is dangerous to talk about certain things. I dont think rich people are particularly educated or smart, but their wealth attracts smart and educated people, while being relatively shielded from demonetization.

The confounder is not education, but being rich
The ability to collect 10% and the size of their income.

But I’m from Scandinavia so I do think 10% of income is a great way to pay for college. Have the government collect it and cut out the bank!
Agreed, mostly a Quarkus is best post. Spring Boot and no functional programming are where Java and enterprises succeed in my view.
ASFAIU the problem was that the application in question kept using oldptr, e.g.:

int *oldptr = (int *)malloc(42);
int *newptr = (int *)realloc(oldptr, 73);

if (oldptr == newptr) {
newptr[70] = 10; // ok because the "object" newptr can contain 73 ints
oldptr[70] = 10; // SIGABRT here because the "object" oldptr can only contain 42 ints even though the memory block oldptr points to can hold 73
}
What metric do you prefer? Or, what metric should a Vancouverite use to judge whether they'd struggle less to afford housing in Tokyo, given an opportunity to move there?

And, reciprocally, what would you tell a Tokyoite who is considering a move to Vancouver? The ones I met all were shocked by the cost of rent, and really struggled, especially the ones working service jobs -- like hotel staff or restaurant server -- who could get by much more comfortably in Tokyo with those jobs. They could only afford crowded shared rooms in Vancouver, and ate into their savings to do so. But even the tech workers from Japan found Vancouver less appealing.
Yeah I didn’t want to write a couple of pages of rant on here.
"And I don't want to say that the Ukrainians haven't fired in that vicinity either because I think there's probably a likelihood that they have, but in good -- in a number of cases, it's returning fire of the Russians who are firing from those locations."

It doesnt seem in the slightest bit plausible to me that the Pentagon would try to justify the shelling if they didnt believe it happened.

The IAEA made no justification as to why they refused to attribute responsibility for the shelling. nor did they state in the report that they needed additional evidence to ascertain what happened. The report treated "who did it" as an unimportant detail despite knowing that it was the only reason they were invited.
The idea is nice and technically possible using the Twitter API but the system will clock you and ban you instantly if you try blocking 100 people at once.

I used to have an add-on that blocks people with NFT PFPs, and it queued the blocks to be done at random so the system wouldn't be able to tell it was a robot doing it.
We're talking about a multicellular organism. An animal's skin keeps out things that its individual cell membranes aren't concerned with.

(I don't actually think the details of what cell walls, cell membranes, skin, etc., do and don't regulate / completely block really tell us anything much about what should happen at national borders. If tomorrow someone discovered a previously unknown regulatory mechanism in cell membranes, that shouldn't make anyone change their mind about immigration controls. The way these analogies actually work is that someone decides what they think about immigration on other grounds, and then goes looking for an analogy that fits the rhetorical point they want to make. Someone arguing for "open borders" would probably choose something else rather than cells to make analogies with. The analogy isn't doing any real intellectual work, it's just window-dressing.)
Oh yay, an expensive app. :-(

Thank you for your answers.

> The IMAP proxy supports the OAUTHBEARER authentication scheme but using third-party OIDC server is not supported at the moment. However, once the SMTP server is out I plan to add support for other SASL mechanisms on the IMAP proxy (since some of the work will be shared with the SMTP Auth module).

It would be great to allow another OIDC server (to have single sign on and MFA) without having to run another SASL server.

> Yes, the IMAP proxy supports both the LOGIN and AUTH=PLAIN mechanisms.

How are application-device-specific passwords handled? Is there some documentation?
Yes, it is possible to display individual windows with rdp. X forwarding works ok with a fast LAN, it's very slow to draw over a slower link. SSH compression can help a little. If it works well for you then that's awesome, keep using it.
>The words you use are dangerously vague and you aren't calling for observable, thoughtful standards.

Which of course is arguably the point. There's just another type of "bad faith actor" who is lurking in the shadows with these arguments: Someone who wants to leverage censorship against disfavored viewpoints regardless of their truth value.

Given the choice between "let everyone speak even if someone might be lying" and "let only approved speakers speak even if the approval process may be corrupt", I'll take the former pretty much every time.
The TillitisKey should be able to be used for FIDO2, as a TOTP generator etc. Right now there is a SSH agent application, which allows you to sign in by touching the device.

Personally I'm very excited to see what applications will be developed at the hackathon at the OSFC conference, and onwards. We have had people at the conference showing interest in trying to write applications in Rust. I will try and implement an application of my own tomorrow.
Are you implying the alt right employs bad faith trolling? Cry bullying?

Way too often, free speech debates are hijacked to normalize a fascistic movement in American politics. The left is feckless because they don't think like Peter Thiel or Steve Bannon.

Certainly there are days when the mass of normal opinion outweighs the straussian tactics of the right because the position of the right has gone ridiculously too far and it is obvious that it isn't normal. But it is difficult to count on that happening reliably.
Same, and with Reddit too (for me).

It does just work for some workflows. I think that's really what it boils down to. It is production ready for some people, but it's clearly not for you yet. Maybe that will change.

The way I look at it, is if you can’t get through community college, you can’t make it through university.

Community college requires more discipline. There’s isn’t as much fun extra cuticular activities, you’re often paying out of pocket and you’re home so there’s lots of distractions.

If you can make it through that, you’ll do well at a university.
"In 399 BC, Socrates went on trial for corrupting the minds of the youth of Athens, and for impiety." [0]

I dunno, that sounds like the sort of thing that might be considered bad faith. I suppose the exact charge might not have survived translation. How do we think about heretics who corrupt people in good faith?

I'd say Java is the second programming language that was specified by adults. (The first was Common Lisp)

The original Java memory model was broken and got fixed. It took C/C++ another 10 years to do the same.

People use Java for server back-ends because it is possible (and not unreasonably difficult) to write correct and high-performance concurrent code with threads.
could you tell us more about this ird
I may not be the audience, so take this with a pinch of salt.

But I think anyone in any SaaS-like / software space should be articulating several things really clearly on their homepage. This should be really punchy, articulated in a sentence or less. What is this thing? Why would it be useful to me? What value does it bring? Who is the audience?

I can see that Qbix is something to do with apps, and something to do with being a platform, and something to do with "social apps" although I'm no 100% sure what those actually are.

The value may be there - once I got the videos to play (didn't work for me on Chrome, massive fan spin-up, page stalled, had to boot up Safari which also nearly cronked my computer through CPU load, no idea what's going on there...) I am maybe just starting to understand what your offering is, but it isn't there immediately in simple, easy to grok "at a glance" terms. You're making me work really hard to find your value.

It feels to me like you need a UX person and a design person to look at this from outside the business. Do some user testing on the homepage - pop it in front of your intended audience and ask them to tell you what it is, why they'd want it. Watch to see what they do. Do they follow your intended conversion funnel, and if not, why not?

Finally, I'd say massively (massively!) simplify. And by this I mean definitely simplify the marketing offering (homepage, site navigation, UX) but also maybe (I don't know) consider simplifying the actual offering itself.

As I say, just my 2p, take it or leave it ;-)
I 100% agree with this sentiment. I think we're going to be transitioning back to more personalized marketing with CRM and email and SMS as channels. It seems to be happening already as there's lots of startups in this space.

Search advertising is in real trouble, it's one of the reasons I sold my Alphabet shares a year ago. I see long term headwinds in this space. I don't doubt Google can engineer their way out of this, I'm just not willing the market has priced that risk in.
I think that’s the point. Who are examples of obviously bad faith actors who _everyone_ would agree are bad faith?
So you’re telling me that 4 years of continuous and rigorous study on a skill has absolutely 0 effect on one’s abilities regarding that skill? They could have done nothing whatsoever wand would have gotten the same result?

That’s quite a take if that’s what you’re saying, and also disproven by the fact that students absolutely differ in ability depending on how much they apply themselves (studying vs partying). Also disproven by the fact our non-traditional students also improve in their abilities in the same way the 18 year olds do, despite being much older.

What you’re saying here essentially is that the entire institution of education, something developed societies universally recognized as a cornerstone of civilization, is entirely without merit. Maybe you should rethink that position?
Substack is trying to provide an intermediate channel where journalists can develop an audience independently of publications, but allowing for long-form content. It will be interesting to see if that works but I suspect only a small number of journalists can be successful in that model.

Rockstar Games confirms they were hacked by an outside party
This...if it's successful, a knockoff of your device will end up on eBay, AliExpress, Amazon, etc, often with sketchy parts, at a price you'll never match. With some exceptions, where you're able to make the product depend on a hard-to-get-cheap part, etc.
To add, the energy devoted to Bitcoin hashing is a product of the bitcoin price, block reward, and the wide acceptance in the Bitcoin community of the idea that provable energy burn is a good way to ensure rarity of the coins.

Even if we maintain proof of work chains as the fundamental consensus tech, there is absolutely nothing (aside from momentum) stopping the community from decreasing the block reward to the a lower value required to prevent double spends of reasonable size. The current hashing power and energy burn in Bitcoin is absurdly oversized for that specific purpose.

You could even maintain the current coin issuance schedule - there is absolutely no need to burn coins into existence, you could simply distribute them randomly to existing holders.
I wonder if that means they're actually paying enough or whether there's something else to it.

Get a scrapbook.
I apologize for insulting you, that was not my intention.

I have to point out that you're being defensive and taking an uncharitable view of what I said.

Your friends may be shallow relative to you, I don't say anything about their absolute level of shallowness/depth. I'm a pretty shallow person myself (once you get away from the minutia of computer programming, and even there there are a lot of people who are much deeper than I am.) Nevertheless, it happens sometimes that you find yourself with a circle of friends that you are no longer satisfied with, maybe that's personal growth, or maybe you're just becoming a cranky old man. I'm just speculating, there's no need to take any of this personally. (I'm using the pronoun "you" in the general sense, not about you seydor specifically, okay?)

I never called you an asshole. Without knowing more about you, it's a possibility, but I'm trying to discount that. It's like saying, "You're not a flying purple people eater, so it must be something else" is not calling you a "flying purple people eater", right?

As for "ignorant of rhetoric and not being well-spoken" you seem determined to be offended. I'm just trying to help. If you're not an asshole,, if you don't entertain odious opinions, if you have good rhetorical skills and are well-spoken, and you still feel you have to walk on eggshells, then I would say that the problem must be that you're just looking in the wrong places? I.e. you're not going to get good debate on Imgur.

In any event, I hope this find you well, and offer it in the spirit of open and civil discussion. Have a good day.

> Having bright classmates was also a non-factor; in many classes, and particularly STEM classes, you barely interact with classmates.

I, on the other hand, had loads of group projects in my freshman and sophomore years; and as most of us were used to being the top of our class and having to "carry" other team members who weren't invested, we all had a refreshing realization that, "Hey cool -- everyone here is both smart and motivated!"

Don't know how different that would have been at community college, but I certainly benefitted from having smart and motivated classmates my first two years of university.

> Yes, connections matter, but how often do the connections from freshman or sophomore year matter?

The people I met in my hall at the dorm freshman year constituted the core of my friendship group throughout the rest of university; and I'm still in contact with a large number of them. I'd say a larger than average number of that group went on to advanced degrees like PhD or law degrees. Influence matters.

Would I have gotten a PhD myself if I had started at community college? Maybe, maybe not: hard to tell. But I am glad that I went all four years. (That said, I only graduated with a single four-digit student loan; those two years would certainly not have been worth a six-digit loan.)
Well the conclusion is that it's never a wayland bug because wayland never defines X feature that users are missing.
Agree here. For example I used to follow Scott Hanselman of Microsoft on there as he has some interesting tech material but it was constantly blended in with his far left views so I quit. I follow tech folks for the interesting tech opinions they have. Their expertise or thoughts on politics are about as important to me as my 10 year old neighbor’s.
Solved performance issue in Umbraco 9-10 when using custom MVC controllers
If you are using custom controllers with ContentModel or ModelsBuilder models you will experience massive performance issues as your projects scales.

This issue is tied to how ASP.NET Core performs validation on object graphs and a fix for this will be shipped but not until v11 as this is a breaking change!

Adding these classes to your Umbraco projects and register the custom model validator solves this issue and performance is no longer affected when using ContentModel or ModelsBuilder models in custom controllers.
He is the author of Monix, a great concurrency library in Scala and many other OSS contributions. Personally I think it's one of the best libraries ever. It actually exemplifies a very pragmatic mix of OOP and FP that decidedly leans away from trying to recreate Haskell unlike a lot of other Scala libs.
That actually sounds like a great idea. So you're saying a game about building neighborhoods where the feelings of the people who already live in the neighborhoods are more important than the feelings of wealthy programmers who want to live in the neighborhoods because the segregated suburbs they grew up in were boring and lame?
Yeah, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the vast majority of hacks are along the social hacking vector. If we believe this is generally true, then the best ROI of our security resources is in training personnel to withstand the attacks.

There are some challenges to overcome.

First, success will require that leadership within an organization understands that we cannot simply throw more technology at the problem. We need good security professionals who know how to educate the general public. Organizations need to find creative ways to make it part of their cultural DNA to learn the skills required for breach avoidance.

Second, as any medium advances it takes time for people to catch up and approach it in a way that is not so naive. If we are honest with ourselves, technology is as much a medium as it is a tool. For example: When a film of an oncoming train was shown to early audiences who had never seen motion picture before it made them instinctively duck as the train approached them. It was like a thrill ride today. It takes time for social groups to desensitize from a new medium. We took the naive approach with social networks, and now we are learning the consequences.

The problem is that technology is introducing new mediums at such a rapid pace that many people don't have enough time to become more sophisticated in its use.

It always feels like the other person started it and did worse. This is a super strong bias which we all seem to have (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). We can't allow that feeling to drive commenting here, because it's a recipe for a downward spiral (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...).

And of course it's also entirely possible that we didn't moderate some comments that we should have, in a thread where you got scolded instead. I can tell you for sure there's no personal reason for that—it's random. We just don't see everything that gets posted. We do try to see everything that gets flagged, but even that is too much sometimes. The fact that you're using words like "always" and "never" makes me think that the above-mentioned bias is an issue though. That's how it feels.

If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is simply that we didn't see it (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...). You can help by flagging it or emailing us at hn@ycombinator.com.
