The purpose of a calender is to measure and predict the march of time. Ancient calenders used the moon and sun to determine time and seasons.

Modern calenders are designed to determine when people will work and when they will rest. The purpose is entirely different in our time.

Current calender’s historical roots only start from Ptolemaic and early Roman periods when the Romans created a planetary week. But it didn’t gain popularity especially in Western Europe. So they adopted the 6 day Jewish week and one day of the Lord’s day of rest.

Only where there was Roman rule and expansion, the new calender and planetary week was installed. Because the Romans needed to keep track of time to monitor work of their conquered territories.

Everywhere else, it was still the lunar calender/sun rise+set for time keeping and solar calender tracking the sun for seasons.

I hear you. I am just saying ‘modern’ is ‘western’ and the west is using time to clock in and clock out people who work. That’s for why if you are rich and don’t have to work, every day is weekend and every hour can be the proverbial ‘happy hour’.

In our time, calenders and clocks are used to track our obligations and when to file tax returns. I still follow the Indian Vedic lunisolar calender for moon cycles and seasons because it keeps me grounded and sane. I feel connected to the earth and sky.

It takes some effort to compartmentalise time for different purposes, but it gives me comfort and escape from the modern world. I am not disagreeing or trying to discredit the western and modern calender. I am just sharing what works for me and the origins of it from my culture/religion.

ETA: calendar has been misspelt as calender throughout. I think I did it once and for some reason, auto complete keeps using it. I don’t want to search and correct every spelling mistake. So this is a blanket correction.
I've been building since the 90s too, and I sort of agree with you, but it's a spectrum.

I'll start at the top, at the enterprise level. At that level it makes sense to bias towards buying instead of building for anything that you can buy cheaper than build+maintain, because there is no reason to distract yourself from where your business adds value. Lock-in isn't really a concern, because when you get big enough, their competitors will bend over backwards to help you solve that problem.

You don't even have to be that big -- at one point Azure offered to provide full time engineers to help reddit move from AWS and that was many years ago when reddit was a lot smaller.

At the earliest stages, it makes sense to use all the SaaS products. You don't have the time and resources to build it, but they all have cheap or free tiers, so you can afford to buy it. Lock in isn't a huge concern because your data is small enough that even manually moving it isn't that big a deal.

In the SMB range is where it gets hardest -- on the one hand you may not have resources to buy because you're beyond the free tier, but you may also not have the resources to build and you may be worried about data lock in. Hopefully by the time you get to this stage, you can predict which parts of the business will become critical and which are nice to have, and start transitioning off of the SaaS products for critical products that make sense to build in house.
I would argue that people do in fact read comments specifically on Ask HN posts.

I am not so certain about non Ask HN posts.

That's... an interesting interpretation of what I said, because my motivation is the opposite. I had not considered it could come across as dismissive, thank you for pointing that out.

However, when I ask this it is not to dismiss someone, it's because if I understand why something is important to them I am better at arguing in good faith without accidentally being dismissive of what matters to them. Which helps with reaching a consensus, or a respectful point of agreeing to disagree.

Also, it's an important question people should be asking themselves but rarely do.
How do people handle account management with all these damn SaaS, at small-but-big-enough-that-it's-kinda-a-problem companies? Just checklists and a lot of clicking through web UIs?

Asking for a friend.
The same thing is going to happen to commercial real estate loans. In general any risky investment which was financed with low short term rates is going to see its cost of borrowing jacked up enormously and will cause failures and bankruptcies.

> Also notable: Original Playstation (AKA PS/1) compatibility was provided by simply putting a whole PS/1 on the board

The IO co-processor of the PS2 was built using the PS1's architecture so it could double as a PS1. Rather clever and efficient design, two generations of consoles in one, using the weaker previous generation console as a co-processor instead of a bolted on afterthought.
I expect pronunciation largely boils down to regional and personal preferences.

The "Mac" prefix means "son of" and "Mc" is an abbreviation of that. The "a" is schwa and where I grew up, is pronounced with a short I, as "mick". But I have heard others pronounce it "mack". The McDonalds ads on TV and radio seem to try to split the difference by pronouncing it "meck".

It's also possible that some people go out of their way to say "mack" in an attempt to acknowledge and avoid the "mick" slur that was sometimes used in England and in the US against Irish and Scottish immigrants.
Can you actually get a European sim without showing ID? That would kind of surprise me, there has been a big push to get rid of anonymous phone numbers.
> And all this is before you add in the further complication of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) that more employees are using — you’re trying to deploy Zero Trust on a device that doesn’t belong to the company.

Yeah, this is a pretty impressive technical solution to a problem created by the company. “We’re too cheap to buy equipment for our employees to use, so instead we need to spy on all of your personal data.”
Good news is that since I'm been experimenting with the incomplete prototype, I've been able to play up to at least Eb3, and will likely get F3 on the redesigned 2nd prototype. That gives it roughly the same range as the bassoon (just two octaves lower), all without the need for a dedicated altissimo vent.
I skate risers with tight trucks. As parent suggested, it helps with stairs and drops.
One benefit McMaster gets is that they have so much stuff that they tend to be the first place you think of when you need some random item. A couple years back I had to build a prototype machine that would inspect wells and I needed 4" diameter clear PVC pipe. Went to McMaster, and of course it was there :-)
Reading Pelevin without knowing the cultural context is absolutely pointless. His books consist of references to movies, books, historical events, anecdotes, fairy tales, folklore songs, and many other elements of cultural heritage. I emphasize: his books consist of references, not just have them. Stories are based on intersections of meanings of different references.

Pelevin is not a sci-fi writer, and Pelevin is anything but a “soviet” writer. Pelevin is a 100% anti-soviet writer.
They've been doing this for a while. This post is headlined "One Last Time".

> As you said, there are plenty of local options that you only need to run.

I think managed databases are a good analogy here. While I might run my own PostgreSQL/MariaDB instance, many out there won't be overjoyed at the idea of actually needing to run and manage the damned thing, as well as set up some kind of alerting and handling the need to eventually scale it up, in addition to backups and failover.

> It also has the largest risk of compromise and data leaking from any service you may use...

PII is definitely a big concern, even if something like password hashes aren't too useful on their own (provided that they're salted), though in cases like that it might actually make a lot of sense to utilize a widely used and tested solution that's specialized for this particular use case.

In many cases, thousands of people across the globe will be able to develop something and squash any bugs in it better than you might be able to do individually or with your own team, though there might be a few exceptions out there. Auth is probably not one of the cases where you want to write code without a lot of eyes on it.

> ...the largest amount of potential lock-in...

This is debatable: standards like OAuth2 and OIDC technically make many of the solutions and libraries way more pluggable and make it easier to choose between various implementations, depending on your needs.

Of course, something like Keycloak also has its own API (as do many of the cloud offerings) so if you build too much automation around a particular implementation, then that advantage partially goes out the window.

> ...and the least need for integration.

I'm not sure about this, it probably depends on your architecture. If you have a monolithic web app, then you probably don't need a separate turnkey/SaaS solution, whereas if you have an ever growing number of services, whilst you want to manage authentication and accounts against all of them centrally, then something like Keycloak (or one of the cloud alternatives) become way more lucrative.

That said, I'd still opt for self-hostable options whenever possible, albeit I also don't trust cloud based password managers and such, preferring something like KeePass instead. I've probably just come to a different conclusion in regards to usability/responsibility/features/security than some other people.

Sadly, there aren't that many good options out there at the moment, apart from Keycloak. For example, IdentityServer is promising, but went in a commercial direction: https://duendesoftware.com/products/identityserver#pricing

Your revenue doesn't immediately stop if you stop incremental improvements. This gives you time to find an alternative tool.

On the other hand, if the infrastructure your product is based on stops, your product is dead, revenue will stop and you may even breach your SLAs and have to pay them compensation.
TBH I have never really agreed with the idea that coding is the new reading/writing. Thats like saying everyone needs to be taught mechanics because everyone drives cars, or everyone needs to know engineering because we use machines.

Reading, writing, and math are completely essential because they allow communication. If you don't know how math works you can't use money. If you don't know how to read or write, you cannot have a job. Even Walmart and Subway have those as required skills, because you cannot perform the job without them, and those are as bottom of the barrel as jobs get.

Coding is useful, but lets be real...most people don't care and don't need to care as long as it works. It is not required to do their jobs. You can do more if you know coding, sure, and it might even give you a leg up in some fields. But when something breaks most people would rather just call the help desk guy to fix it rather than waste time fixing it themselves.

Perhaps a single course could work, but again, lets be real...these are children we are talking about, and only a few of them are going to actually learn anything. I talked to a few high schoolers who took it as an elective and they said they just took it because their parents wanted them to, and they didn't retain anything because they didn't WANT to learn how to code. If we give it to every kid, it might give some an interest, but for the majority it will just be more useless knowledge they will discard.

That being said, as fond as I am of English and math, I don't think we have to teach it as much as we do. What we learn simply isn't useful, and we relearn it in college anyways. After 3rd grade you don't learn anything new in English, and you just get the same lessons over and over again each year. It certainly doesn't help.

Math is important, but I also think that we should put a more utilitarian spin on math, as very few people will need to know calculus. Consumer math is the superior course, as it is something that people actually use. I don't regret taking it in high school, since the calculus class I would have taken I ended up learning in college anyway.

TL;DR, I think high school learning should be more utilitarian than it is.
I suspect speed cameras have to produce results that are verifiable in court, while ALPR cameras just best-effort help locate cars.
I read this as "five orders of magnitude less power in getting data back up"; however note that they have to light up the sensor with very intense pressure waves to get power in and data back out.

Ryzen scales up exponentially in power draw as you try to hit peak frequency numbers.

You can run it at 95% speed and usually something like 70% voltage.

My 3900x can do around 4.5ghz at 1.4v or 4.3ghz at 1.05v all core. I imagine Zen 4 will be exactly the same. Don't have the power draw off the top of my head, but that is essentially 125w for 4.5ghz and 90w for 4.3ghz.
Thanks!

The GPU was called the Graphics Synthesizer, the chips even have specific EE and GS logos on them (see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PS2_GH-001_Motherboa... for example).
I made the mistake of building too much internally at first vs "outsourcing" it to SaaS. Apart from the initial time to build it, there's all the debt of maintenance after the fact. All of that has a cost and takes away from adding more product value for customers.

I now start with SaaS, and if something becomes strategically important or the costs skyrocket, only then consider an alternative such as building internally or a partnership.
That makes sense, to an extent. But tossing it in a drawer, from others’ posts, seems extreme. Calling, texting and many other functions may work well for a while. Bank apps may not get updated leaving web access as an alternative though maybe convenient.

Forget humanities. The hours a week after school that highschool students spend on calculus homework would probably be better spent socializing with their friends. They'll never be young again, wasting the time of a teenager with unproductive busywork is a horrible thing to do.
if chiplet is the silver bullet to die costs, I don't get why Nvidia won't go for it. After all, Nvidia has smart ppl too. There must be some design tradeoffs that made Nvidia engineers to believe their approach is still the best in terms of perf and area. For 4090 and 4080 price, I think Nvidia strategy is: they are higher tier, with 3000s as the lower tier more affordable option. They feel they can succeed with this strategy in the current market (1 year or so) given the competitive landscape. Then they can use 4090 and 4080s to drive up the ASP and margins. Their biggest motivation is sustain the stock price.
While yes every library has limited space this article seems to clearly state this is regarding banning the book.

Regarding your son, I don't agree with not allowing boys to participate. (Which I doubt by the way)
BUT I do understand why this could happen.

Regardless. The situation with your son doesn't add anything to the discussion about the book being banned
Oh yeah? In Windows 11, try to put the taskbar on the top of your screen.

Try to uninstall Edge. Try to disable ALL of the tracking. Try to disable updates. Try to install it from scratch onto a computer without creating a Microsoft account. Try to remove all of the non-windows mandatory apps without a 3rd party software or a cheat code to run in powershell that you got from some website somewhere.

Windows is user-hostile because in order for it to maintain its business dominance it HAS to treat all of its users as if they are naturally stupid and technically challenged in order to ensure that the most people possible can use their software so that the most businesses will buy their software since their employees can use it.

> Why is the NT hash even calculated any more?

For legacy reasons, I assume.

> Is it still the default?

Yes

> Can group policy be configured to tell everything to not used to disable NTLM everywhere?

It can, at least for domain-joined Windows machines. Most environments can't afford to disable NTLM though, because some legacy systems rely on it. However, Microsoft recommends disabling it.

> And can't AD be configured to disable RC4 everywhere?

Yes

> Do MS ever plan to properly deprecate NTLM/RC4, disable it in new domains and start displaying prominent warnings when they're enabled?

I'm not aware of such plans. If I were to guess, then I'd reckon they want everyone to move to Azure and let onpremises AD die.
Better than turns, radians, etc. is an `Angle` newtype AKA wrapper class.

It completely eliminates misinterpretation of the value, miscalculation from [angle = angle + tau*n] as all angles are normalized, is more descriptive, and in a decent language is zero-cost.

Programmers should not be using (radians: float) in modern languages which support wrapper classes
It turns out that "The PGP Problem" was simply wrong about the MDC being broken (among other incorrect and misleading arguments)[1].

Note that since PGP addresses offline non-connected media it is simpler to directly authenticate the material. So the sort of thing that is being described here as "authenticated encryption" is not usually relevant[2].

>On top of that, every PGP implementation that I've ever worked with happily streams unauthenticated, decrypted plaintext before completing MDC verification.

For offline non-connected media, that is a completely reasonable approach. Not everything works like TLS.

I've been following his journey for years, it's been a fascinating and some times heartbreaking story not to dissimilar to Sisyphus. Every other chapter is about him renewing his mental strength, grit, determination, and then months later tearing it all apart because of fundamental flaws. Repeat for years. His mental health is an underlying theme throughout the story we're watching and I worry for him.

With that said, he is truly an imaginative and great engineer and musician and while my discipline is primarily software, he's taught me a lot about design principles I apply today. Namely, keep things simple, emphasis on unit testing and measuring results, recognizing and addressing sunk cost fallacy and many many others.

I've grown to really respect and admire him. But I fear this project has a stranglehold over his mental health and I fear for what that means for his future if he cannot get to a place he is truly happy with.

God speed Martin, I hope you can get the boulder up the hill one day.

edit: Update, after some sleuthing, apparently he is moving and taking care of his family right now(?) https://www.reddit.com/r/MarbleMachineX/comments/usk6ru/wher...
This is nonsense, possibly triggered by a misunderstanding of what the word "contract" denotes.

An at-will employee and their employer contract that for each hour of work (or each ~week salaried) performed by employee on instructions from employer, employer will pay to employee $X.

Just because such a contract doesn't contain any term indicating the length of time an employee will work doesn't make it less of a contract.

As further evidence, if at-will employment were not a contractual agreement there'd be no recourse for the employee to recover unpaid wages. And yet unpaid wages are recoverable.

I love having a Grainger within walking distance of my workplace because it means I can order some bearings (or whatever) and go pick them up on my lunch break.
