>It's amazing how many times Chareles Darwin's book is mistitled: "The origin of species" The correct title is "On the origin of species".

Well, it seems understandable that the "On" disappeared from the title when people are referring to the book. See that the original 1859 edition de-emphasized the preposition "On" in the title with a small font:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Origin_of_Species#/medi...

The original publisher subsequently dropped "On" from the title in the 1872 6th edition:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Origin_of_Species#:~:te....

The shorter "The Origin of Species" has gained so much popular currency that even new editions of that book omit the "On" from the title:

Why would a file manager that runs locally and doesn't require tons of flashy features have a monthly subscription?

It's so stupid. I prefer the Jetbrains model of pay subscription or license, but subscriptions become cheaper as you had more time subscribed (IIRC, 30% discount on 3rd year)
Even with a mesh, devices still have to be authorised to get access.
Just don't do that.

The more difficult option is if they come with cellular modems built-in, thus bypassing any of your infrastructure (which needs authorisation). That of course is technically possible, tho probably commercially unacceptable (modems cost ~15 to 20 dollars in bulk which is significant at smart-tv scales, not counting the data cost).
I understand, didn't see this mentioned on the pricing page directly. How do they store the data in Deep Glacier (single files or archives? the former would be very expensive?) Do they have restore fully integrated? (since this is a two-step process that takes 12+ hours I could imagine it does not fit the normal flow)
Hi HN, I wrote tfautomv.

I work with Terraform a lot and sometimes with large legacy codebases that are hard to navigate and improve. In those cases, I want to refactor so that the code is actually structured like the infrastructure it defines, but Terraform makes that difficult. Its inherent statefulness makes moving a resource from one module to another quite tedious. Moving a lot of resources around is a lot of toil.

A few months back a colleague of mine had an idea: what if we could automatically move resources based on Terraform's plan? They implemented a quick and dirty tool that did just that for a specific project they were working on. And it worked! They saved a lot of time, reduced potential for human error and avoided a few headaches.

Another colleague and I decided to redesign the tool from scratch to make it more generic and rigorous (the original version sometimes made guesses). We have been using this new version where I work and it works well! I convinced my boss to make it open source, because I believe it can help many Terraform users who need to refactor their codebase.

Tfautomv's internal logic is provider-agnostic. Its only source of information is Terraform's plan. If Terraform plans to destroy a resource and create another with the same type and attributes, tfautomv considers this a match. If two resources match each other and only each other, then it writes the corresponding "moved" block. That is pretty much it.

I hope you will try it out. If you find any issues or have any ideas for additional features, let me know! All feedback is welcome :)
Right, that's how we got IE6 :)
>some rental contracts were accessed between November 5, 2021, and April 5, 2022

>None of our financial, payment processing or U-Haul email systems were involved; the access was limited to the customer contract search tool.

So they were in U-Haul's network for 5 months, but U-Haul is dead sure they only got into a single system.

I hate it when they phrase things in this overly confident way. I do believe they didn't see overt evidence that other systems were compromised, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Just curious, is there a high cost overhead (aside from the cost of actual units) of e.g. custom silicon?
>If you don't give context, chances are they'll fill in their own.

The lack of context is a general problem for communication. If you don't give sufficient context, you might cause anxiety, like in this case, but this is not the only problem. If you lack context your message will often not be understood.

E.g. I was asked if I remember Nick. I didn't know who Nick was, there are many Nicks in the world. I might be bad with names in any case. Then I inquired about some context, I was told it's Anna's friend. I don't know who Anna is either, also a very common name. After a bit of back and forth I find out it's a guy I talked to at a wedding last month. There were hundreds of new names for me. Names I would probably not remember. But if you start with "do you remember Nick, the guy at the wedding we talked to about X", I might stand a chance.

Funny thing was that they could have used kites like Børge Ousland, who sometimes moved hundred kilometers per day. There is nothing radically different in modern kites. Especially if they had visited Japan. Rokkaku-kite is just few bamboo sticks and canvas and scales up to 10 square meters. And you can chain them, if you want more speed.
You can, though this will incur some costs related to temporarily storing your data in S3, as it either won't be immediately transferred when using lifecycle policies, or will incur extra charges if you force a type change based on filesizes and filecount.

Note that there is also a minimum filesize of 128KB per object in Glacier as well as 32KB extra metadata, and everything smaller will also be counted as the minimum size. Some mitigate this by bundling files in larger chunks, at the cost of retrievability and now having to keep an map of file-bundle associations.
I didn't shut down the idea. I just raised the counterpoint.

If Europe decided to say that you can't take down things arbitrarily. What would Facebook do about that? At this point in time a geographically splintered internet with freedom of speech seems better than what we've got at the moment.
They were wondering why the original architecture was using NGINX over HAProxy, not why HAProxy wasn't chosen as an NGINX replacement.
The energy source that was supposed to be "too cheap to meter" turns out to have a *net negative* energy value. When you add together the true costs of building, running, and decommissioning a nuclear plant it comes to more than you can sell the electricity for.

All nuclear plants rely on government subsidy and externalization of decommissioning costs. In other words -- they're not on the balance sheets. What legit business gets away with that?

The reality is that nuclear power is a 1950's technology -- one from the past, not the future. We never fully understood the implications of running or taking apart a nuclear plant at commercial scale and instead of addressing the real problems, we just pretend they don't exist.

It's time to put the effort and expense once reserved for nuclear into something that doesn't create waste that lasts for 240,000 years (plutonium) or require supervised swimming pools to store (used fuel rods). We need power plants that can be turned on and off quickly -- at small scale -- not ones that require 20 years to build and 50 to tear down.

The time for nuclear is over... and it has been for a while! We've just been in denial.
What?

Most systems are 64bit now, I wouldn’t be doing signal processing on a system that wasn’t. If my signal has 32bits to work with during capture and my scratch space is 64bits during processing, I can assure you I am not losing any signal during conversion between int / float.

> not based on the latest unproven marketing hype technology, Webauthn

WebAuthn is an ongoing project but the history goes back almost a decade to U2F, and the ongoing work has been carefully reviewed by a number of industry heavy-hitters. We know that it’s robust against phishing, too, which is why it’s so relevant to this conversation.

No, an FPGA is a lot lower level thing; it's basically a bag full of small logic blocks, each one that can only do a very small logic function (something like a 16 entry table lookup?) and some blocks of RAM and IO. The FPGA user has to figure out how to wire those blocks up to do what you want; you can build a micro with it, but you can build most other logic systems as well.
> might get defrauded now and they will never compensate me or anyone else

If you're defrauded because of a leak, you have a claim for compensation. The problem is we have scant evidence these leaks cause consumer damages. There is the attribution problem–tying an instance of fraud to a particular breach is hard. But it's not so hard that we'd expect to see virtually zero cases.

What's more likely is having a list of credit card or even social security numbers is less useful than it might seem. To the degree fraud exists, consumers are largely indemnified, e.g. by card issuers.

>Uber can have near perfect security but all it takes is a single one out of 20K+ employees to click on the wrong link, install the wrong app or trust the wrong person and suddenly the entire system is compromised.

In a well run organization it takes a lot more than that. There were a dozen steps in this exploit chain where it could have been detected and blocked. Likely Uber didn't care about security and their security team lacked both political power and resources.

Your anecdotal take on the subject is irrelevant.

Mine is that I took cautious care of what and when I eat for almost 10 years, not taking too much fat, lot of vegetables, tried to cut carbs, and low meat by choice. I was hungry very often, not losing weight.

A few years ago I slowly started drop it, mainly lunches due to very inconvenient hypoglycaemia occuring while taking care of the kids in the evening. So big fat pizza at lunch if i take care of the kid the evening, a little less food in the evening.

It's not something supposed to be a good idea, and I started to loose weight AND get rid of those hypoglycaemia moments, so I started to eat more and richer at lunch, with smaller diners.

I don't dare having any opinion on other's regimen, it's just a too complicated subject.

Plasma did have an issue with 'burn in' on static images. If you did a lot of gaming on them, you could see it. Same with banners on news programming.

If you watch a lot of movies, it isn't an issue. Plus, the TVs came with a 'burn in' reduction program that you could run a couple times a year, but that operated by sweeping an intense white bar across the screen, so you were effectively 'wearing' the pixels down to a similar level to reduce the obvious burn in. If you ran that cycle to often, it would kill the maximum brightness.
The people who work at Google are not smarter than the people who work at Uber, or any other tech company. Getting people to understand 2FA might take a little bit of work but it's not hard.
I think because Lee Holloway (the technical founder of Cloudflare) was used to use NGINX and so he used it for the original architecture. It's also the case that Pingora replaced part of something that handled both connections to origin servers and reading from cache. So the comment about "not serving files" isn't 100% correct as the NGINX instance was serving files as part of its work.
Yes, because I’m sure none of the places you do business with have ever been compromised.

> > That's a very very strong claim without any supporting argument.

> I'm afraid you completely misunderstand my position. I'm merely pointing out that because we know that more soundness is not always better, the claim that Rust is more effective than Zig is not obviously true. I'm not saying it necessarily isn't. We simply don't know yet.

This isn't in any way related to the claim that I qualified as “very strong”: you said “But my point was that that reasoning isn't additive”, which is a very strong claim and likely to be false. The Firefox team successfully shipping their multi-threaded CSS engine in Rust while they had failed to do so in two or three previous in C++ hints that implementing complex algorithms and at the same time having to be sure you don't mix things up with lifetime is harder than just implementing the same complex algorithm without having to think about mixing things up with lifetimes. The great shift towards Java in the 90s is also an indication of it. Taking the responsibility to manage memory manually is hard, very hard and adds a significant burden on the programmer. And this isn't “unknown”.

> and certainly not by saying that the other shouldn't exist. Okay?

Where in my comments can you find a single occurrence of this claim?

I'm just arguing that at this point your reasoning of saying “we don't know which is better” is as fact-based as people arguing that “we don't know if vitamin D or Hydroxychloroquine are better than vaccines”. Zig doesn't have to be on par with Rust to have its right to exists, there's no point overselling with on the “correctness” argument that has never been its main stated motivation. And you, the “Java guy who doesn't like Rust” are practically the only one having this argument on HN, you should try leaving Rust and Zig alone for once.

Anyway, you've long stopped giving arguments and have been parroting the same “we don't know” over and over and over without any attempt to add anything new to the discussion, so I'm not interested in pursuing. Too bad, I won't have a single example of how Rust incurs a cost in correctness, nor how Zig's design is so brilliant it will make thinking about memory more practical than C and avoid memory management to get in the way of correctness, so much virtual ink spent in vain.

This seems like overthinking things. I'm just a layman but wild packs of monkeys have been observed to attract street dogs because they litter food all around them.

A lot of them, absolutely, but this particular one had for a long time (arguably still has) useful properties. Like if you're inside same network you can just connect to "db" server and don't care what's the rest of the FQDN is. Similarly with typing "ssh app1" vs "ssh app1.example.com"

> Merely looking at the options for my DSL device, my god man, even after all these years in tech, I'm still a bit bewildered.

A lot of DSL dumbfuckery came from telco. For example, ADSL uses ATM framing which is 64 bytes, with 48 bytes of payload. And it is fixed size packet which means mere TCP ACK, with all header overheads, won't fit and you need to send at least 2 ATM packets for each TCP ACK AND waste some bytes in them too. ATM was first used for voice which is where constant size came from.

The VPI/VCI settings are also directly related to ATM protocol

And why 48/64 byte ? Coz EU wanted 32 byte payload (coz they wanted lower delays) , US wanted 64 byte (coz they wanted lower overhead) and they just split the difference in the middle.

Why the fuck they applied it to inherently point to point ADSL ? Who the fuck knows, you'd think throwing away 25% bandwidth on ATM header would be bad for residential service over shitty wires but they apparently didn't care.

I'm not sure that machine translation demonstrates compositionality, since it's translating from phrases already composed in one language to another. It only does so if understanding composition is necessary for language translation. Whereas carrying on a meaningful conversation does require understanding of how words are being put together as the conversation evolves. Thus why the Turing Test hast been considered important for determining whether an AI has achieved human-level abilities, at least as far as language use is concerned.
For a long time, nobility was much more important than nationality. It was so important to have a ruler from one of the accepted noble houses that Greece imported a King from Bavaria (Otto of Greece). And they were basically all related.
