In my opinion EVE is the greatest MMO ever created. I've played and enjoyed other MMOs like World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, a few others, but nothing else even comes close to the experience of playing EVE. The very real stakes of losing your ship, cargo, implants, changes the game entirely. Venturing into low/null sec can be genuinely terrifying when you don't know what's on the other side of that warp gate.

And then there's the enormous breadth of gameplay options. You can be a high sec carebear and happily farm asteroids in relative safety or play the market and never even undock. You can live out your fantasy of being a space trucker and pick up contracts in your freighter. You can join a nullsec corp in player controlled space and participate in the absolutely ludicrous (in a good way) nullsec PvP. You can stalk other players in wormholes in your stealth bomber for literal days, popping out and killing them right when they finally think it's safe. The stories that are generated from its sandbox gameplay make it very unique in gaming.

Unfortunately it's also an enormous time sink and I don't play it anymore. If I could play EVE 18 hours a day I probably would, but it's a very difficult game (for me anyway) to play for maybe an hour a day and feel like I made any real progress.
What? How did being "restrained", either via straitjackets or via drugs, ever enter the conversation about people dealing with the routine stresses of life?

Understandable. There is just too much money and fame in sports - people are going to try to cheat. It is upto the governing bodies to reduce cheating to a minimum, if eliminating it completely isn’t practically feasible.

I agree with other comments here who suggested zero tolerance policy. Cheat once and get banned for life. I remember as a kid, watching hours of cricket. Then I found out some of my heroes were fixing matches. I stopped watching that day. No fan wants to see cheats and match fixers and other bad characters. That is what politics is for!
> It just seems like they overcomplicate and don't build in redundancy or repairability to save a couple bucks.

No, they want you to buy another one aka premature/planned obsolescence. Best bet is to research heavily and hope to find a manufacturer who doesn't do that.
Is it tech-savvy people they need? The Howey test doesn't say anything about tech or computers. I would have guessed they need finance-savvy lawyers.
> I look at my classmates now and consider HS sports to be child abuse.

It's a serious risk, but the risk-reward is still positive when it comes to the value of youth sports. Do you disagree strongly with this?
The way I read it is: the scammer will secure the contract using the help of their industry-decorated accomplice, and then outsource the actual work-related duties to developers they find on Upwork, etc.

You extended the analogy beyond the point it was addressing; if you do that you might as well start talking about the obesity epidemic or food allergies or whatnot.

The point being made is that people getting upset when they are made to feel like their altruism is taken advantage of, let alone abused to ends that are against the spirit of the original work, and getting disillusioned and abandoning projects of love, is quite a natural and altogether human reaction.

OP said they didn't get why anyone would/should be particularly upset by megacorps using their open source software in perhaps not the manner originally envisaged. I was simply trying to come up with a more relatable example to relate why. The induplicability of food is completely irrelevant here.
Threads, a Slack replacement designed for makers
Android uses mksh. If I write a script that uses read -p to present a prompt, it will fail on Android because it means coprocess on mksh.

The fundamental reality is that GPL does not run on iOS or Android (in userland). If you want to run scripts on those platforms (and they are ENORMOUS), then you cannot use bashisms.

Why doesn't POSIX include the "-o" option.

The word "often" in the parent comment implies there are times when GNU grep is not better suited than sed with ERE. (I often use flex instead of sed.)

For example,

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=44754

Or from the 3.8 manual:

6.1 Known Bugs

Large repetition counts in the `{n,m}' construct may cause grep to use lots of memory. In addition, certain other obscure regular expressions require exponential time and space, and may cause grep to run out of memory.

Back-references can greatly slow down matching, as they can generate exponentially many matching possibilities that can consume both time and memory to explore. Also, the POSIX specification for back-references is at times unclear. Furthermore, many regular expression implementations have back-reference bugs that can cause programs to return incorrect answers or even crash, and fixing these bugs has often been low-priority: for example, as of 2021 the GNU C library bug database contained back-reference bugs 52, 10844, 11053, 24269 and 25322, with little sign of forthcoming fixes. Luckily, back-references are rarely useful and it should be little trouble to avoid them in practical applications.
Here are the security advisories from WhatsApp: https://www.whatsapp.com/security/advisories/2022/

They're rather scant on detail. Anyone know if this was exploited in the wild? Or who discovered it otherwise?

I'm also wondering if it was disclosed as part of an equities process, given the target and the type of bug.
That won't meaningfully change performance at all. Browsers aren't slow because they have to make slow syscalls - they mostly don't. They are slow because web technologies themselves are slow, sometimes by design, sometimes because of security/abuse concerns, but often just because HTML & CSS are absolutely crap platform for interactive UIs, something they were never intended to be and retrofitting that doesn't result in a very efficiency stack.
Yep, the VFW and other organizations sponsored local bands to keep the military band tradition going. Not so much these days.
Definitely agree with the layout love. I currently don't have images for the sites, but I think there's leftover <img> tags on each card which is what you might be seeing. Thanks for the feedback!
It's definitely a lot better in memory safe languages (and especially in those applications that don't depend on C libraries under the hood). You can still have security bugs due to logic errors, but you won't ever get remote code execution or ability to read arbitrary memory. And in general bugs are much more likely to cause a crash rather than give the attacker access.

I suspect once C has been supplanted all the way down the stack it might actually be feasible to eliminate these kind of vulnerabilities entirely for apps where security is of utmost importance.
Fasting diet cycles reduce neuroinflammation to attenuate decline in Alzheimer’s
This only partially answers your question and I suspect this isn't the case for you, but if you're already using Terraform there are tools to generate visuals from it's state file. I forget the flag but Terraform itself can dump out a .dot file that can be consumed by graphviz. There is also a tool called BlastRadius that results in a much nicer graph.

With any non-trivial amount of resources and modules these graphs get HUGE but can still be useful, especially if one is about to make some significant changes.

I don't have any suggestion for the "over time" part however.
Such a tree mostly describes word similarity. But translating words is not what an AI (or more generally a computer) has problems with.

It's word ordering and idioms where AIs stand or fall. Things that show very little correlation in the evolution of language.

I disagree with the risk reward of contact sports, especially if your kid is smaller than average. Anything where the brain collides with the skull is an obvious no (American football, soccer headers, etc).

>Is this a US thing?

I like how one counter-example from China means that something is a "US thing". This happens a lot on the internet: "Here's a non-US counter example, that must mean this is US only!"

The C ABI is nowhere near enough for passing arbitrary Go structs, all you need is a map or a sync.Mutex field and you need to exactly match plugin compilation to caller compilation.

I wish https://pkg.go.dev/plugin was clearly documented as not being a viable 3rd party plugin solution.
There's no way your average service worker is qualified for factory work like precision machining or assembling moderately electronic devices.

Are they getting training on the job as well?
Ask HN: Is astrological data used in ML models?
A positive argument for astrology being true would be that a person's sign, natal chart or characteristics derived from it are used as attributes for machine learning models.

Is this happening? Do you know of any company which used it? I'm genuinely curious.

(On a similar note, another positive signal for astrology would be if companies like Meta offered this kind of data for filtering in targeted ads)
The USA is the country that threatened an attack against the gas pipeline.

"If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the -- the border of Ukraine again, then there will be -- there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2," Biden said during the press conference with Scholz, who did not go as far as Biden, but insisted the U.S. and Germany remain "absolutely united."

I’m not sure if R2 is sustainable but AWS’s egress rates are outrageous. The flip side though is that high egress rates make quite a few problems, like customers using the service to distribute pirate copies of media, go away.
The last few times I’ve rented a car it’s had CarPlay and based on those experiences, the next time I buy a car, it must have CarPlay. The experience without it is just so poor (and don’t get me started on how ridiculously bad the experience of pairing bluetooth is in my parent’s car which requires a mix of voice commands and button presses in a completely undiscoverable way).
And here's Hikaru's video examining the Yosha's evidence by comparing it to games he and other GMs have played. There's definitely something going on with Hans having so many >90% games, when the other higher rated players struggle to

Are those keybindings default on a particular OS/DE/WM/WC or are they just your personal config?
So, if people inside the US said that about the plight of people in Europe and various particular countries, would you agree? Somehow I don't think so. Let's not let bias, blind us to important socio-economic or human rights issues.
Hilariously, this is the husband of Washington Post person "Anne Appelbaum", a noted historian and alleged "dingbat" [1] who, among other things, can be relied upon to give strong cover to her husband's racist BS. Appelbaum and Sikorski are big anti-Russia types, and cursory glances at their social media feeds shows how thirsty they are for war, and how willing they are to send others' children off to do it.

(Much as I dislike the guy, Sikorski's probably right about the US doing the pipeline bombing [2].)

I will always say that I think if I were to do a startup or launch a really ambitious project, some in-office time would be needed.

It's easy to "drift" remote... which isn't bad if you're just working your 9-5, or in my case consulting. I've felt like I've gotten a bit complacent with remote... but all the same, I prefer it, lol. If I lived close, I wouldn't mind going in once or twice a week. If its a commute, I can't justify it at all. Maybe one week a quarter?
I feel like you’re trying to be ironic…

But I can’t tell if you’re serious
I've always thought Apple's play is to try to build a self-driving setup that can be sold/integrated with other manufacturers.
It's not necessarily a JavaScript malware. A pure HTML page with a <form> tag could suffice to steal credentials.
Web3 is built on the blockchain; Web4 is built on the deli counter.
JS can do just as well with unique classnames, which avoids issues with ids like those given in the article.
How long will this last with the dollar as strong as it is now (and likely will continue to be for the next few years)?

This is misunderstanding what the article is about. It does not make sense to talk about calculating a cardinal to infinite precision.
I kinda glossed over the interview structure for the sake of brevity, but they do speak to one technical person (me) before the tech assessment. I'm the hiring manager, and I see my primary role as getting the candidate excited for the position and to answer any initial questions. I've already narrowed down the applicant pool through resume review at that stage, so most people make it to the technical assessment from there. I feel like technical assessment shouldn't come too much later in the process: we're trying to be respectful of time on both sides, and while the assessment is 2 hours long, it's only completed once by the candidate, whereas if we have the technical interviewer come earlier on in the process, it will add many more hours across candidates who would have otherwise been filtered out.

As far as using 3rd party solutions: I see your point, and actually used to administer homespun "code challenges". The downside with that approach is that it adds a ton of overhead. As terrible as it may seem, we may not be able to invest that kind of time unless we're willing to be more heavy-handed in candidate selection early on. In at least one case, there was a candidate who had a fairly unremarkable resume but really impressed us in the interview process, and they may have been eliminated earlier on if we were more selective from the beginning.
Personally I find it disrespectful to be pulled into random meetings I have no reason to be in. Or be held up in meetings that are 45 minutes longer than they need to be. "They are paying you" only goes so far. If I wanted to be paid to be in meetings, I would have gotten a business degree.
Yeah Microsoft Word is terrible in that aspect. You don't even need to make the window too narrow. https://twitter.com/esesci/status/1414631138379792384
Yeah, I have to imagine they might be using a group account on Upwork and then misrepresenting the coder as a part of their team, but I don’t know enough about how Upwork works.

I posted about this blog post on Twitter and was directed a Reddit post [1] showing how little Upwork seems to care about fake reviews and stolen work product, so it appears Upwork has a history of ignoring fraud, regardless of what their terms say.

Why is Putin direct interest destroy a source of income and leverage to the country!?!? Now Germany can buy gas from 2 sources: Ukraine and USA. This explanation makes no sense to me.
We all don’t get to work on nice, new, shiny PCBs. Sometimes other things get in the way. I have three different kinds of flux, two types of solder, copper wick, three solder suckers, two guns, and a scratch pen. I’m not out to practice the art, I just want to be effective.
Best I saw during my apprenticeship days in the 1980s was when we had some EE degree students on work placement.

We worked in R&D and all (Multibus II) boards were hand-soldered and had to be visually inspected by a supervisor before testing.

One chap presented his board for checking and, after a visual and touch inspection, our supervisor said that some of the joints were a bit 'pointy' and would need fixing.

So off went the student to the fab area of the workshop, the board was put in a vice and I just stopped him as he approached the bench with a sandpaper-wrapped block of wood.
So the pipeline is effectively destroyed. That’s kind of insane.

To me, the concerns this raises have less to do with breastfeeding infants and more to do with biodistribution of the mRNA after vaccination -- in theory it's not "supposed" to be found anywhere other than the muscle tissue around the injection site.
Wherever I've worked there is no such thing as unowned code. We all know it exists in theory, but as soon as you can't find the owner it's automatically yours.
This is pretty cool — it basically means we can use Fastmail for transactional emails like "Thanks for signing up" kind of emails along with our regular old emails right?

I've been using Mailgun for that as a separate thing; Mailgun is great but the weird lack of API key management freaks me out. Exposing one key exposes EVERYTHING and you have to cycle through all the projects that use your account. So annoying.

I wonder if this is going to cause spam headaches for Fastmail and lower their sendability though

What warning? They literally said they'll close the valve.

With the closed valve, they have an upper hand at negotiations about gas, especially if the german people get cold and start sharpening the pitchforks for their own (german) politicians... now, even if the germans want to negotiate, there will be no gas until the pipelines are fixed, and it doesn't seem that will happen soon

It emulates the Eve Online game server, so that in theory you could run a private eve server for yourself/your friends (in practice it's missing large parts of the game so it's not really playable).

None of this is really Apple’s responsibility, nor is it reasonable for them to be playing the 4d chess that you’re entertaining.

The top 0.1%? You are never going to beat them, and you know it. They will ignore or sidestep your laws, and most of the time they'll get away with it. This will, occasionally, produce a left-wing movement and sweep some politicians into power. They'll come in with a popular mandate, and they'll pass some laws or restructure the IRS or something.

Five years later, that top 0.1% will still be dodging taxes. Naturally, not a single one of them will have been held accountable or gone to jail. However, the resources provided by the popular movement will have been used to audit and harass the $1-10 million businesses and individuals.

Some of them will have been cheating a little. Maybe a personal vacation deducted as a business expense -- stuff like that. Nothing compared to what Amazon is doing, of course. But they'll be audited, and they'll be nailed. Most of them will may a major fine. A few will do 1-3 years in a Federal minimum security prison.

Or maybe they'll catch a grandma who inherited a European bank account from her family. She didn't dodge any taxes, but she didn't know that she was supposed to report that account every year on a special form. When she later amends her filings to comply with the law, they'll take her amended filing as a confession and nail her for $2 million, or half the value of the account. [1]

But forget about her, it's time to hire another 87,000 IRS agents. Does anyone really think they'll be used to go after Amazon?

My first experience with Esperanto left me disillusioned because it looked silly. It tries to be universal by becoming a Frankenstein monster of the most popular languages.

It's already happening in the US, we just don't notice it as much because we still allow enough immigration to maintain a net population growth.

The cure is to stop educating people. There is a proven causal link between education and birth rates. It turns out that when people are both smarter and have more opportunity available to them, they are more likely to choose life paths other than staying home and raising kids.

Or, take a different view like me. I don't think declining birth rates are a problem, I think continuing to hinge our economy on continual unsustainable exponential growth is.
I can tell you all about living in a culture with strong expectations around marriage and bearing children. It's not as consistent a driver of behavior as you might expect.

There are more reasons to have sex than making babies. There are more reasons to get married than sex.

The average person's relationship goals may be shifting drastically away from conservative marriage. We would be wise to accommodate that possibility in our data collecting methods.
