This seems like a pretty well researched account that refutes the false flag idea strongly. The grayzone article still presents some interesting primary sources even when they seem to be wrong here (which is often the case when headlines end in a question mark)

Can’t reply below but your skirting of paywalls isn’t as cool as you think. Pay or read something else. You’re stealing. Also, insulting my intelligence doesn’t reduce my suffering in case you were wondering.
No such thing as a constant in Python. You can optionally name a variable in uppercase to signal to others that it should be, but that's about it.

You can write a new compiler if you'd like, as detailed on this page. But CPython doesn't work that way and 99% of the ecosystem is targeted there.

There is some work on making more assumptions as it runs, now that the project has funding. This is about where my off-top-of-head knowledge ends however so someone else will want to chime in here. The HN search probably has a few blog posts and discussions as well.
Seriously what happened to ICOs? Like even "Silicon Valley" the tv-show had an ICO arc. The money gathering process for crypto ventures is now NFTs. Seriously, what is the current state ICOs? How are the ICO coins or importantly the ICO-backed ventures are doing?
In one of those random coincidences, I recognize OP's username because just last night I was reading their forum comments on the OpenWRT forum about the Netgear WAX202. Was trying to decide if picking one up at a $30 sale price would make sense as a replacement for an older device, the R7800.

OP did not find it to be so after their testing, and as such, my $30 remained in my pocket.

It is true that memory-safe languages are a massive massive massive boon! I believe that the entire industry needs to be making plans to find a way to shift all applications that operate on untrusted data away from C and C++. But this is completely orthogonal to the purported security benefits of making your source available.

I much prefer what a lot of Linux desktop environments support, which is holding down alt and clicking anywhere on a window to move it. With that + a keyboard shortcut for closing a window you can get rid of title bars on apps entirely if you want. Sadly Windows doesn't support it natively, although there's another comment on this thread talking about ways to make it work.

Another pro tip, get a better soldering iron than the one in the video.

I think every 10th comment I make on HN is arguing against the notion that technology will fix the problem. But I think now I’m gonna do the opposite. It seems like technology is indeed well on its way of making the need of an international auxiliary language obsolete.

For government functions live translation is something skilled translators can do pretty easily, and for common folks, live machine translations is getting better and more accessible.

I for example read many tweets written in languages I don’t understand. And I think it is only a matter of time before other social platforms (including GitHub and HN) catches on to provide accessible translation tools so people can read and write in their native language, and have machines translate for them.

As for communicating face to face, surely there could be a device (or more likely a phone app) that does that, but mostly I think people will just continue to learn an auxiliary language or two and find a common language to communicate in, only using the translation app as a backup in emergencies.

Especially if they are motorized. It's the only home automation thing that I actually find very useful in my home, which has huge glass windows, that I love.

I have a little process that checks the UV index level once an hour. If it's above 6 it closes them and if it's below 6 it opens them. I know UV index doesn't actually track temperature, etc. But it's a good enough proxy for the sun it up and it's bright. And it does a good job of keeping the windows unblocked during mornings and evenings.

Yes. For each individual service outage, I’ll probably be able to find a replacement or do without that single service for a while. When ⅓ of all the internet goes down, that’s it; we’ll all just suffer for the duration.

It’s like with stocks. A single stock I own might go bust, but with a diversified portfolio, I won’t really care. But if ⅓ of all stocks go bust at the same time, that’s a market crash.

I live in the Midwest (US) and all I see is cars rotting. Cars under 5 years where the owner doesn't take care of the paint (wash/wax etc) and the wheel wells start to rust off. I even play a game with my kids where we watch for "Pavement Princess" trucks that have rust.

Bill Gates called the 286 "brain damaged". It had a protected mode, but you couldn't get out of it without doing a system reset. Even in protected mode it still had jankass segmented memory addressing because the register width wasn't actually wide enough to accommodate the 24-bit address space.

The i386 and later had 32-bit registers, 32-bit pointers, and could do flat addressing in protected mode. No more having to faff about with near and far pointers or segment descriptors.

Still doesn't make sense. NS2 was held offline by Germany and could easily have had technical difficulties as well if that were to change. NS1 could have been left offline pretty much indefinitely without serious attempts at such contractual plays, because this sort of thing would of course have ended any chance of future Russian deliveries. Besides, there isn't much left that sanctions don't already target.

However, them being destroyed for now will take a lot of pressure to appease Russia out of German domestic politics, lots of political figures were gearing up for trench warfare on opening NS2, and Russia could have used NS1 as a bargaining chip to get Germany to desert Ukraine. There's good reason to suspect the German electorate might have been quite open to such an arrangement by late winter, and imagine what that would have done to western unity. Why throw away such leverage, especially as you can still blow them up later?

This also takes any plan B involving Russia off the table entirely, meaning that Germany will absolutely have to double down on LNG and renewables and restructure its industry, with obvious consequences for future business opportunities.
Given that people expect their folders in MacOS to leave things where they put them and the fact that .DS_Store files aren’t visible by default, I can’t agree with you.

It ensures that these settings carry over regardless of what actions you take on the directories and is low complexity. It seems much more preferable to me than a centralized database to track and maintain all the changes and is not portable.

I do think it should be an option to disable them, but to suggest that it shouldn’t be on by default is asinine. They’re serving the broader population, not grumpy nerds.
Seems like a collective punishment for people who are perfectly attentive to the meetings with their camera off.

> No such thing as a constant in Python. You can optionally name a variable in uppercase to signal to others that it should be, but that's about it.

Yeah that’s the point - the JIT takes that capitalisation as a hint to treat it as a true constant and bake the value in until it’s redefined.

This is all solved stuff and isn’t a barrier to implementing a powerful JIT for Python if someone wanted to.
Ahah yes, it’s me. Now the AX doesn’t work perfectly with OpenWrt but the devs are doing a great work and every day the support is going better. Anyway, also with the Negear firmware, the WAX202 has less coverage than the R7800 but if you’re near it, it’s faster of course.

My very first experience with a computer was playing Temple of Apshi on a TRS-80. My friend's father had it. This must have been early 80s. I remember him having to use a pencil eraser tip to turn it on. Thought that was odd. Shortly afterwards I started using the Apple II and II+ at school. Never saw another Tandy computer in the flesh. My friends all had Commodores and I eventually got a 128 myself after an abusive relationship with a Timex Sinclair 2068.
I choose it for portability. I can ship to my users today, work on new features for all users, or I can spend 3-4-5-6 months dealing with differences in platforms, differences in tooling, build environments, deployment, etc....

I also it choose is because as a programmer it's far easier IMO to make a web tech app look good than a native app. CSS, Unicode text, emoji, images, video, canvas, webgl, it's all easy, portable, and batteries included, vs the various platform specific ways of providing those features.
Unfortunately lots of apps keep large caches.

For example almost all electron apps keep the last two or so versions around when they auto-update. And since Electron apps are around 250 MB that's 0.5 GB of old versions per app.

I recently discovered a big cache - in terms of file number, 6000 files - of basically every edit I did in the last 6 months in VS Code - called Local History. Also, every directory you launch VS Code in will have a workspace cache associated with it, it can be 200 MB if you have C++ files in it, and VS Code will not remove it when you delete the original dir.

And so on...

I wish they would all integrate into a master clear caches system app, where you would have the opportunity of seeing them and clearing them. A bit like on Android.

A friendly culture open to question asking in public is fine if everyone is kind about it.

Having worked someplace where that wasn't the case, and where one might be told, "wow, you really should read the policy about x" in public on Slack (despite the fact one had read it and didn't feel pushing back in public was appropriate), one learns to stop asking questions in public because a) management does nothing after the fact, b) doesn't seem to know or care better, c) is the offending party, or d) all of the above.

Just sayin' - it happens, but if you have a healthy culture, that surely can be awesome.
It’s all final assembly automotive and aerospace.

It’s not real manufacturing. All the real components from screws to relays to sheet metal and injection molded plastic parts are made somewhere other than the US.

But yeah, if you export 300 787’s and A320’s each year, you’ll get the false impression the US is a manufacturing “powerhouse.”
Or, Russia realizes that Nord Stream leverage isn’t working and is now moving to attacks which implicitly threaten other pipelines (e.g., Baltic Pipe) for a stick to replace the apparently useless carrot.
At least with iOS 16 this isn't an issue, not sure about prior versions. In Settings for Apple Music, it shows you a list of all artists, inside their listing is the albums, and inside there the songs you have downloaded. You can delete at each level (artist, album, or individual song). But it definitely removes items from the cache or, yeah, I'd have been out of storage a long time ago.
None of the 128GB range were viable in the slightest.

This has Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) written all over it. This applies to every financial institution in the US, UK, and most other countries too I imagine.

What's the market beta?
What's the average turnover/holding period?
How are transaction costs modelled?
What features explain most of the variance? How are they related to known factors?
What's the beta hedged performance?

These are all things I'd want to know before deploying something like this. (Perhaps some mentioned in the post, might have missed them.)

To first order, I'd forget about fat tails and similar popular concerns. They matter, but not as much as structurally understanding what this model is up to. Perhaps one feature is explicitly selling tails? That might answer it already.

> Everyone is playing safe and adhering to conventional wisdom.

That's not playing is safe, though, that's playing it wrong.

If the cost of interviewing candidates were zero and the was an infinite supply of actually good programmers, then it would be fine to err on the side of many false negatives for the sake of avoiding false positives, especially since the cost of false positives is high.

But that's not true. You pay a price for every interview, and pay a further price for every day without the qualified help you need. And you're probably in a competitive market -- a relatively small delta between you and your competitors' hiring efficiency might mean they get almost all the good candidates while you get almost none.

Anyway, like I said, any half-decent CTO should be able to fix such an obvious mistake. Hiring is a high-stakes move and it pays to be picky, but it really doesn't pay to be dumb about it.

Just based on my personal experience, I doubt very many people beyond junior or entry-level are going to study leetcode exercises, so you're walking away from almost everyone useful past that level.

Maybe you could give people a choice of problems only good programmers could solve, but of different types, and let them choose the one they want. Leetcode, sure. Or: here's a windows system and windbg, tell me what's wrong. You've doubled your chances. Spend some effort to come up with five or six or seven different ones and you might have something.
The market for that (in terms of $$) would be a rounding error when compared to what they make on the AppleTV.

I'm no expert in geopolitics, or international law - but what country would make any deal with the current Russian government?

A government that held the energy sector as an hostage to pressure other countries while they violate international law.

Do you see any possibility of everyone sitting at the table, sign new treaties on top of those that were violated, or new contracts that were torn? Because I don't.

There's no credibility left on one side - Russian government openly stated that they do what ever they want, and no law applies to them because they have nukes. What government on their right mind would do any deal with them? Besides China, India, and Afghanistan, that are getting great deals out of this, while remaining neutral.

>If EU citizens get cold enough and broke enough, they could entice their governments to give in and stop supporting Ukraine and get their gas turned back on.

>Idk about you, but if it came down to my grandmother freezing at home or a Ukrainian grandmother living in east Ukraine having to say she's now Russian, the Ukraine grandmother is going first.

Sometimes it's about doing the right thing, even if it has a cost. You might not want to pay the price, others are, because it's better to stop the warmonger now, than latter at a MUCH higher cost. We should have done it in 2008... or 2014... now we're paying the price for it.

What's the timescale here, for "The unremovable caches will kill your space with time". I'm currently holding an iPhone 11 running the iOS 16 beta, that I got in October of 2019. Looking at Storage, I'm sitting at 67GB used of 256GB. The heavy hitter app-wise is Spotify at 13GB, but that's all music that I specifically told it to keep locally. "Other System Data" is 22GB.
