Cheap labor, cheap construction... similar damages next time a hurricane rolls through

I don't know specific AMD64 addressing modes, but you should always be able to detect overflow in signed 2s complement addition by checking to see if both addends are positive and the result is negative. There is a similar check for subtraction.
This!

I worked with a very well-known university that unknowingly had been compromised and was being flagged for malware by various protective services.

They, assuming it was just a false positive, put up a banner at the top of their webpages that said they were falsely being flagged and that visitors should ignore any warnings and essentially shut off any protections for their website.

Meanwhile their site was compromised and attempting to dump payloads onto visitors.

Have you ensured you are not compromised?
Yeah you do. It's prudent to value accordingly.
This is a twisted line of argument and you know it. Of course I don't think guns are literally animated by evil spirits or something similar. It's an easily understood metaphor that nearly anyone would recognize and understand, are you claiming you don't?

It's also wack to pretend that guns are just one kind among all the objects that can exist and not special in any particular way. Again it's not likely that you believe that. Guns are set aside in that they are designed exclusively for one person to cause misery and death to another, and are spectacularly good at it, and are suited for virtually no other purpose.

A knife with poison on the tip, or barbs on the blade, intended to maim and kill and unsuited for other uses? Yes, that would be evil, as a gun is. Hunting rifles and target shooting guns? Yes those are tools for another purpose that can be misused for harm, as a cooking knife or a car can. But these aren't the things we're talking about are we? I'm not a fool, or incapable of judgement and nuance, so don't try to condense this view as if I am.

Guns are exceptional, in how well made they are for their purpose, how terrible that purpose is, and how frequently they are applied to it. The fact that other things have some or all of these qualities doesn't really change the calculus.
Honestly if I given a chance to redesign keyboards, I’d leave these corners completely empty and put cmd, alt, ctrl and probably shift where alt-spacebar-alt group is on a pc keyboard. Space “bar” itself would be just a key, maybe 2x width. Or maybe between B N even.

6x+ is too much honor for a key that produces blanks and allocates 20% of fingers, also useful ones. More than half of my spacebar area has no wear signs if you look closely.
Wasn't this struck down by the EU recently?

Do they protect against self promotion somehow? seems like it would be an easy way to market something to a huge audience. I mean something like giving a completely legit review then dropping a link to your website or something.

Belgian here, moved to America. Living just outside of Los Angeles (TO). Used to live in Belgium. I walk more here than I did in Belgium. Partially because I don't need to deal with the weather anymore. And since I work from home I don't commute.
Nobody is claiming that most people make $400k. Take the median numbers by country from the article - $187k in US vs $108k Europe - that's still a significant difference.
Lol, i love the discourse on HN /s

And you suppose Journalistic pieces aren't produced in similar abundance right now? We are in an era where anyone can spin up a podcast/video channel/website etc. The SINGLE LARGEST TRUSTED NEWS SOURCE IN AMERICA according to many political investigative entities is JOE ROGAN.

And that's a great tangent. Would Joe Rogan be eligible for these payouts if he publishes snippets outside his Spotify deal and it shows up on Facebook ? OF COURSE HE WONT. That's the point of the bill . . .to suppress independent journalists and enrich the establishment.
Jesus H Christ. Stop sowing this absolute garbage. Proof? How about the fact that we didn't go extinct prior to the invention of clothing? How about the necessity of it for procreation, birth, rearing, washing? If you think the very sight of a naked body is harmful, you are a sick fuck, and that's the nicest way I can put that while getting my meaning across. Please get therapy before your anxieties boil over and make you harm others or vote for like-minded idiots.
Vivaldi has it, and it's a Chromium-based browser made by people who left Opera after it was sold to the Chinese. Opera had vertical tabs even a decade or so ago, back when it was still using its own Presto engine (they switched to Chromium and seems to have lost this feature).
But Java has always had semi-annual feature releases, and there wasn't even LTS -- people had to upgrade to a new feature release ever six months. It's just that we dropped major releases altogether and then gave the feature releases new version numbers, and that confused many people (who might not have even been aware that some of the minor releases in the past were actually quite significant feature releases). In other words, people upgraded to new feature releases every six months in the Java 7 and 8 era, too; now with major releases gone it's even easier, so it doesn't make sense that projects that were fine with such upgrades in the past all of a sudden need the new LTS model when things are even easier than before.
It kind of reminds me a bit of how TowerFall's standout success on the Ouya helped pave the way for Celeste.
> How do you rest your fingers on the keyboard?

Standard home-row position. Having to scoot my thumb over to square-loop is very uncomfortable because it naturally rests on the spacebar.

It might be that I've been programming for close to 40 years and have grown accustomed to CTRL being an involuntary gesture for the pinky. Just like escape (from using vi for 30+ years).

It could be that people born using loop-* are used to it, plus Apple pushing ctrl into a weird place on its keyboards just means that your never had the opportunity to experience the ergonomically superior CTRL-C/V from the "old days" of keyboards before modifier madness took over. TBH emacs CTRL-ALT bothered me as well, and I had similar debates on Usenet. :) Or you are young and flexible. :)
Why are you surprised? In US usage it refers to female genitalia. I believe the non-US equivilant is 'fanny'.
I would say, maybe not switch over if you need something that has been rock-solid for years and years.

If you want a shit-ton of built-in features DuckDB is pretty damn fast even with non-column store optimized queries. Surprisingly so! I have done side-by-side tests and you really have to have a lot of rows for it to start to make a difference. And their built-in functions are awesome. And they (company/group) are awesome and very responsive!

Having said that DuckDB is still young enough to make me nervous putting in critical application stacks and I feel about Sqlite the same way I feel about PostgreSQL ... it is solid as hell and will just work.

I will say that I have not had any stability issues in any of my personal projects that I use DuckDB in, it is just that I know for a fact that Sqlite is solid.
The line blurs for sure.

I would say it's 'a' kernel. The idea of there only being one kernel is probably a concept that makes for nice layered diagrams, but doesn't come close to describing reality because of the combinatorial complexity of options for different morphs of layering. Sort of like the OSI network layers model in that way.

Debris does not accumulate in LEO, it reenters naturally. This isn't like plastic waste, it's more like organic waste that naturally decays. Sometimes the law says you have to clean up organic waste, but sometimes it's better to let it rot on its own.

Nope. Their CEO literally wants people back. I interviewed with them recently and they said, they have the pandemic policies in place, but eventually they want people back. The job I was interviewing for asked me to be in office at least 3 times a week.
Miami has the sturdiest residential construction materials of any city I have lived in. Cinderblock is extremely common.

It still doesn't save your home if you build at 5ft above sea level and a hurricane brings 15ft of storm surge.
Nothing about relational algebra says you have to put your projection before you specify what relations are involved. SQL is a bad fit for modern tooling in ways that are a property of the language and are unrelated to it expressing relational algebra.

The notion that nothing has changed about B-Trees or sorting algorithms doesn't, I think, actually hold up... but this question is more like changing the API for a standard-ish B-Tree library than about modifying how the B-Tree itself works.

Oh, absolutely - I've worked in the US for some shorter stints (albeit through European companies), and there were things I loved and things I did not like.

I think if you're extremely ambitious, willing to shoot your shot, and work hard - the US is a great place to be. It rewards winners handsomely, and punishes losers viciously.

And this is something you see here in Europe. Those type of people do leave for the US, to make their fortune.
> Hopefully insurance costs will not be extracted throughout the entire country.

Not sure about the US but in Australia flood insurance has skyrocketed nationwide after the last few years of extreme flood events, even people living on the top of hills pay more for general policies.
If the irresponsible people who insist on living in hurricane prone areas pay for their own repairs, then I have no problem with them living there. If they ask for me to pay for it, then that gives me moral buy in into whether they should be allowed to live there.
US companies launching satellites with foreign launch providers still need to get a license from the FCC if their satellite uses radio communications.

If you believe that, then you also support efforts to force big tech to respect freedom of political speech, yes?
Public funds should not pay to rebuild the same property more than 1-2 times within N years. You either:

a) Build the property to withstand all but 1-2 statistically expected hurricanes within that N year period. This is possible, it's just costly.

b) You don't get public funds

c) You get private insurance

d) You don't build

DuckDB is awesome! I find it the easiest way to ingest data from various sources then query it into a form I can do analytics on.

The datasets I work on are a bit too big for pandas, but spark is way overkill for them. DuckDB lets me efficiently work on them using only a single computer.
If your threat model requires it, it may be worth switching from PIN based auth to alphabetical passphrases. PIN based auth is easily brute forceable. Yes, having to type in a three word diceware passphrase to unlock your phone is tiresome, but in some cases worth it.
> only one obvious goal

Running a functioning insurance?

If you want to pay rates which allow them to rebuild your home for you every ten years (annual rate = your home's cost / 10), I'm sure they'd be more than happy to do it and collect their small profit.
I have a very minor example of something similar myself:

A quick 1-liner Stack Overflow answer that addresses a common typo is my highest rated answer. Those that I spent hours (or maybe even days!) answering: almost nothing.
I swear VPN privacy is a red herring.

Everyone I know who has a VPN subscription simply uses it to prevent DMCA letters from their ISP when torrenting.

VPN providers with a "no logs" policy simply shrug these off.
I tried to look at it that way, but... it only helps other people until Google decides to drop that particular feature, after which all your work is gone forever.
You can have a "you can't rebuild" insurance appear - where you get insurance on your property that will let you move and rebuild elsewhere, but once the structure is damaged, it will be torn down and left fallow.

If done correctly and over time, you can move entire communities away from the danger.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 30th Anniversary Edition $3k+ laptop with classic logo
People absolutely do plug tens of thousands of watts' worth of appliances into a single 15-amp home circuit that can supply only 1,800 watts at once. And as long as they don't exceed 1,800 watts of momentary usage by too much or for too long, it works. AC power doesn't have a "commitment" in any sense but a physical plug shape. It just has circuit breakers to prevent fires.

A good example of the problem is a hypothetical USB-PD power strip that has 5 ports. The Amazon listing says it can deliver 120 watts. A person buys it, thinking they can use it for their 100-watt laptop and four other small things that each need barely 5 watts, 1 x 100 + 4 x 5 = 120, so the math adds up. They're still working from home post-pandemic, so they leave their laptop plugged in all the time on their desk. The laptop charges for maybe 45 minutes each day, but it still tells the power supply that it needs 20V x 5A = 100W constantly, and each of the small devices asks for the minimum of 5V x 3A = 15W.

For actual USB-PD supplies I've bought in this approximate situation, the laptop won't charge because the supply can't promise 100W. You hook up your Kill-A-Watt and find that the supply is actually drawing only 20 watts. The power supply is keeping all its promises -- 15W to each of four small devices, meaning it can't agree to supply 100W to the fifth device. So it instead says it can do maybe 12V x 3A for the laptop, which says forget about it and refuses to charge. Yeah, the laptop sucks for lying that it needs 100W 24/7, but what am I going to do? Get a new laptop? Or just put the USB-PD supply on a shelf and return to a regular old AC power strip with five individual USB transformers plugged into it? That's what I'll do, because that's what works.

In today's world, the "If" in your comment happens at the AC circuit-breaker level. In the USB-PD world, it would happen at the level of this little multi-port power supply. Your average consumer in a hurry doesn't want to be bothered by this kind of detail.
This is exactly wrong. Lamarck believed in the inheritance of acquired traits (e.g. if you cut off a mouse's tail, then its babies would be born with shorter tails).

Darwinism, conversely, is about selection from within a range of traits already present (i.e. beak size).

These frogs come in a variety of colors. Dark colors have a better fitness for the highly radioactive environment. Those are the ones that reproduce. This is textbook Darwinian evolution.
>We’re doomed if we don’t spread out.

And we're doomed if we do. Ultimately, the universe will experience heat death and everything will cease to be.

Have a wonderful weekend, everybody! :D
Yes, that's how it should work.
I didn't read the article that way. FTA, the sense is Java is not dead in the same sense COBOL is not dead, that is "legacy" technology that you have now work around because it is too costly to operate and maintain. Ironically, from this article the two main technical solves for the issues with their whole JVM setup are CLP (which is the main article) and moving to Clickhouse for non-Spark logs both of which are written in C++.

With Cloud operating costs dominating the expenses at companies one can see more migration away from JVM setups to simpler (Golang) and close to metal architectures (Rust, C++).
I think we're mostly on the same page, but not sure why click-baity is a feature?

> Thinking about your deathbed is really just another way of living in the future instead of the present

If you spend all of your time thinking about your deathbed, sure. But I'd argue that being cognizant of this period of time and planning ahead is not the same as living in the future any more than spending your weekdays focused on getting work and chores done so you can enjoy the weekend unencumbered is living in the future (or eating healthy foods, not smoking, getting your exercise, etc).

As with everything, there's a balance to be struck.

And for what it's worth, I'm a gamer. I still actively spend time playing games because I enjoy it, and I get to interact with some of my friends.

But I think spending a few minutes reflecting on whether or not one's habits are serving them well, and how they will feel about those habits years down the road is also warranted.

> ...but that feeling of regret is such a small part of it

My point is that regret doesn't need to be part of it at all, and once you've reached that point, there's no going back. Someone may reflect on their time spent in <game of choice>, and realize it's a net positive in their life. Someone else may realize they need to make changes. The only time that such a reflection can have an impact on the outcome of one's life is when it's early enough to still matter.

The point isn't that people should stop playing games, or that they should live their life in the future, but that people should reflect on life choices early enough to make changes if changes are warranted.
hadn't really heard of 'universal design' before, but sounds about right.

i do always cringe a bit when i see so much justification for infrastructure design being pinned on 'environmentalism' -- as if that's the only reason, or even the primary reason, why we should allow people to get around without state permission, without paying royalties to whoever, etc.

it's fine/good, given global warming circumstances, but what's wrong with something like.... "we are adding bike tracks so people can bike places if they want to -- because it feels fucking awesome, makes you healthier, builds exercise into your daily routine, increases personal joy, allows for more personal independence, and adds to city livability in myriad ways (if you live, which, if we implement these designs, you probably will)"?

eh.

Yes - location is key. I'd be surprised if people made FAANG salaries outside the west and east coast, and even then at quite specific locations / industries. Not sure what the pay is in emerging cities like Austin, etc.
How about foreign satellites on foreign launch systems that wish to communicate with ground stations in the US? I assume they also need an FCC license.
I live in the USA. Victim blaming "they did something to deserve it" is at best unethical. In court theoretically I would have the right to demand to see evidence. "Hold my beer" is not likely to be sufficient except in egregious circumstances.

With that said, there is an epidemic of muppet thinking right now. It's not just the intertubes. Suppose a credit card company pulls your credit report because they say you applied for credit with them. No funds are stolen. You demand they show proof. They say nope, because TTPs. So: how do I know it's a one-off, and not data theft by fraud at scale? Off goes a letter to the FTC...

Do you think like a muppet? Here is satirical example (http://athena.m3047.net/temporizing.html):

TEMPORIZING FOUND NOT TO BE A FORM OF LYING

"Temporizing", which is speculating from what we know now as to the
motives of actors in the past and presenting that as historical fact,
has been found not to be a form of lying. "Social proof demonstrates
that temporizing is not lying" said a social commentator.

The news was greeted optimistically as a good day for humanists and
levels the playing field because "now the standards of proof we need
to meet for the existence of society are the same as for religion".

"People must have known about this in the past because it seems
like they should have" said a man in the street. "Everybody who
believes in science trusts society" said another.
When exactly did the FCC's jurisdiction extend to the heavens? There should be a lot more concern than there currently is over an agency granting itself powers over private property in space.
I hate being demanded to set up voice verification. Even more annoying when the representative suggests that you active your voice despite you saying no. Voice verification is such a weak security system.
But how did they infect Sumatra PDF reader? My copy has a digital signature in the .EXE. Do they run copycat sites and distribute Sumatra from there? These articles are always skimpy on the details of how software gets infected.
Same here. I think mapping is fun and it should be done by people who love doing it.

Doing it because you get a pair of socks or some smiley clippy character telling you something cute is very different.

Several companies have been developing deorbit add-on modules, and I hope this requirement spurs on this growing industry. I would love it if it became the norm that satellites have a passive failsafe deorbit system that activates at after a set amount of time or if ground communications fail for a set duration.
