I saw this was released and discussed some years ago. It would be great if Microsoft does a refresh on this topic. I'm curious if they ended up running this service in production and what are the real numbers after some years of usage.

PS: I found the article very educational. Happy to read more articles that simplifies papers. This makes easier to go deep into the paper later.
So if they actually blew up the pipeline what would happen if Russia tries to return the favor and do the same to Norway-Polish pipeline that was just opened.
You are correct; my memory was faulty.

I was remembering the VIC-20 which was the contemporary of the TRS-80.

Yes, the C64 was quite a bit better. But it came out roughly 2-3 years later, and was triple the price of a CoCo2 until the first round of price cuts (at which point it was still double).
It's great and the best desktop app I've ever used.
Google certainly doesn't use emails as training data. Source: I work for Google and know that there are strict policies regarding what can and can't be used as training data.

Yeah, that seems like a real trustworthy channel...

Btw. they were talking about heavy sanctions back in the time.
Yes, I remember that it became available after the movie.. and I tried it and found it completely useless in practice. I don't think a single programmer at our company liked it and it was soon forgotten.
Did anyone here get some use out of it? I seem to remember that part of the problem was that it didn't seem to work as well or efficiently as the movie showed it.
I’ve read articles, seen interviews and read book by mathematicians and cosmologists on these issues. None of them agree with you as far as I can tell. Some cosmologists and physicists believe it’s likely the universe is finite, some believe it’s likely it’s infinite, but none I know of believe it’s a settled question.

Mathematicians perform calculations that include infinities routinely nowadays. They have sophisticated methods for it, and have discovered powerful tools and useful results from doing so.
>It means a random person could eaves drop on my interview by just pretending to me and telling this story.

Only if the random person somehow found out the meeting code.
Why in the world would you not tell them it’s not going to work out and end the interview early?

For most use-cases, that flexibility outweighs the lack of tactile response.

I think a lot of the downside of the screen interface could be solved if they included some haptic feedback in the screen.
The US Sabotaged a USSR Natural Gas Pipeline in 1982 (2004)
This is a story about a classic software supply chain attack, and relevant given today's events. The US got the USSR to run modified software that caused pipeline to run over pressure, causing simultaneous ruptures.

Nord Stream 1 and 2 failed in a similar way. I wonder if it could have been a software attack, and what sort of resources would have been required.

Seems fairly accurate in this case. You can also read about it in Wikipedia anyway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom%C3%A1s_de_Torquemada

F# manages it. I think this really holds Python back as a more powerful scripting language.
I didn't know you could do that. I always start dragging from outside the link. Moving windows is a better use of the key for me.
I keep getting downvotes for asking this question: Was there so much as one, single individual who lost money as a result of their activity?

If you don't have an answer, just say that.

I am aware that the final buyer ended up paying more that they would otherwise have needed to. But that was not the question: they, too, knew exactly what they were getting.

What are these common controls?

Looking at this list: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/controls/ind...

Animation -> video tag

Button -> button tag

Combobox -> select tag

Date picker -> input type=date

Time picker -> input type=time

Edit -> input type=text or textarea

Scroll bar -> Not needed, automatic

Hot Key -> WAT?

IP Address Control -> Is this really so common it needs a custom box? does it handle IPV6?

List Box -> Not sure but making a list you can scroll through is trivial in HTML. you set a height of the container and mark it as overflow: auto. Done.

Pager -> seems irrelevant on a browser

Progress Bar -> progress tag

Property Sheet -> N/A

Rich Edit -> This was never good on Windows and it's also not good in HTML. In both cases if you want something that actually has a good UX you have to roll your own or find a library

Rebar -> Flexbox/Grid

Static Control -> most of HTML and far more easier to style

SysLink -> anchor tag

Tab -> trivial to implement in HTML but ok, maybe should be standardized?

Task Dialog -> dialog tag

Track Bar -> input type=range

Tree View -> You can do this with nested detail tags. Not sure it's any more work (in fact I suspect less) than a tree view in C++

Up/Down Control -> input type="number"

It seems all there are far more flexible.

I don't really know which apps you're referring to but I feel like most of the windows apps I use are not using those default controls or if they are they've added heavy customization

I'd see the one control missing most is menus
I thought this was about different numbers like rational and complex, but it is about number representation (of floats), see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unum_(number_format)#Unum_III
the GPD pocket is 6.5 inch wide, with 16mm per key. and it does fit into some of my pants pockets. but that's actually not a criteria for me. i rather carry it in a shoulder bag or backpack anyways.

I mostly spend time on sites that I use multiple times a day. I prefer that those sites are designed for people who use them multiple times a day, not for people who visit once, from HN.

This might be targeting a minority of users - it’s design for power users. I’d expect HN to be supportive of this sort of design.
Kubernetes desktop client built with Tauri
I've been thinking about this after having read https://www.nngroup.com/articles/participation-inequality/ again recently. That research was shared in 2006/9. They didn't quantify a upvote/reward driven website but I suspect hacker news is closer to the blog numbers than the general, so the percentage would be skewed. The closest statistics would be Reddit's, the self selecting "top 1%" subreddit has imposed a minimum of roughly 107000 combined karma/points which is roughly 114k users out of an estimated 52 million daily, 430 million monthly, and 1.5 billion registered total users.

You wouldn't need to crawl for your own dataset, it's available on Google's bigquery https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/details/y-combi... and slightly older 2006 to 2017 dataset is available on kaggle for direct download https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/hacker-news/hacker-news .

Interesting, I have never heard of this project before! From looking at the README, Refurb is more focused on simplifying the codebases, making them more expressive, whereas pyupgrade seems to have the goal of upgrading you from version A to version B (specifically Python 2 to 3). Near the bottom there are some newer Python version (3.6+) related upgrades, which I was considering adding to Refurb. I expect there to be some overlap between my project and some of the existing projects out there, so I will have to weight the costs of adding these in vs leaving them out.

Thanks for mentioning that project!
I find it so embarrassing because every dev gets fed this culture. Or take the insane update sizes. Os or Xcode. Or the upload to the app store useing bandwidth several times the binary size. An app that used to be .5MB in objc is now in swift 15MB tesflight, 70MB production ipa and 300MB upload traffic.

That's what sustainability looks like in the eyes of a hardware supplier.
I've said it all before but here we go again

It's so crazy to think that we as humans can look at our lungs and clearly see what's wrong with them and what it would take to solve the problem but we can't simply order our immune cells to deal with the matter consciously and are at the mercy of a system we have a murky relationship with.

Instead, just like CRISPR, we have to find already existing organisms or mechanisms that do something and try to get them inside of us to carry the job
I agree. Initially I though the task was not _that_ hard but you've got to take the circumstances into account. This was not a homework task she was to solve in the serenity of her own home. Not was it pre-specified for her by a teacher trying to address the correct level of learning advancement. This was the real thing, on the fly.

She points out how she had to put on headphones just to cancel out some of the noise, which gives an indication of the environment. Also, this happened after over an hour of trying other solutions with a presumably impatient mob of players getting increasingly nervous. So, for sure the pressure was on.

In that light, I think it's a pretty impressive achievement.

I watched a grand master interview earlier who said it might be as simple as a code to mention pieces, such as knight or bishop - once a player's attention was tipped off to which had the best move, it would usually be easy to spot it. He said players are already swept for electronic devices but he can only assume that's adequate, saying he didn't know if it could pick tiny things like in-ear receivers.

He expressed discomfort at taking Carlson's accusations at face value given that they mentioned needing permission to speak from the person accused (??) but agreed that cheating is having a disastrous effect on the field in general and that it seems to be at some sort of tipping point.
Unless their moral karma somehow bypasses keyword filtering, leetcode, and discrimination, unlikely.
> This is kind of a weird op-ed. It frames this as though the costs are all red marker, but the costs of rebuilding include labor and materials and help to reinvigorate local economies. I'm sure there is a net cost, but it has been serviceable so far.

The example given is $1B to rebuild a community of 300, or $33M/person. There's no way that community can ever pay back that loan -- and if they can, why are we subsidizing it?

> Insurance isn't mentioned at all in the article. WUI areas have become nearly impossible to insure, even if you're doing all the things right for making your property fire-resistant (and most homeowners in these areas aren't). As long as California's housing market stays red-hot, there will still be another sucker willing to pay for California's state-insurance-plan-of-last-resort, but someday, somehow, something's gonna change and all of a sudden a lot of people won't be able to afford homeowner's insurance, and that's going to gut a lot of the fire-prone small towns.

The formula is simple: if a fire is expected every X years, and the cost to rebuild is $Y, can you charge $Y/X + some margin for profit and bad luck? Private insurance is saying no. If public insurance is saying yes, it is only via some form of subsidy.

Should we be subsidizing the rural lifestyle in this way? We already directly subsidize rural roads, electrical infrastructure, hospitals, telecom, and more. We have many more indirect subsidies via higher electrical bills for the undergrounding of electrical transmission lines, agricultural subsidies, implied muni bond insurance, etc.

We've got to draw the line somewhere, and we can't afford for it to be at $33M/resident.
Shitty solder + flux is wrong. Simple.

That is part of production engineering which is mostly about making sure that your product doesn't come back again because it's broken.
If there was actually a concern of suspicious activity, you'd think the fastest way to resolve it would be to cut out the middleman. "Your account is under investigation, call the regional FBI office and mention case number 123456 to reach the guy who filed the complaint."

This is working on the assumption that the majority of these flags end up being false positives (hence, "suspicious" activity, not "illegal"). If the common cases can be sorted out by a 30-minute phone call and faxing over some missing documentation, that saves resources on the law-enforcement side trying to reconstruct the same facts from "outside".

Of course, as you said, the real criminals will presumably take both the "bank suddenly started acting weird" and "here's an actual notice of investigation" as similarly strong signals to cut and run.
Gas already stopped flowing from Russia to Europe. The question now is if and when it'll be restarted.

And yes, of course, for the peace faction to make use of it, they'd need to carry out a coup to remove Putin first, so that they are in control. That's precisely why it all adds up.
As I mention in a sibling comment, I made an updated version that works on a modern Linux system (https://github.com/jabl/fsv ), but, uh, useful? Nope, it's a gimmick or a toy, not something you'd actually use to increase your productivity.
Is there a write up somewhere on how you handled cross database transactions? E.g. Bob on db#12 gifts Alice on db#23 a "MegaPlushie(tm)"item?

An iPhone-quality OLED display is always going to cost $150+ new as part. That alone is enough value to steal a phone for parts.

Personally, serialization that alerts the user "you have unauthorized parts, if your battery catches on fire or your screen has crappy colors it's not our fault" -> this is good, I am in favor of this, serialization that disables the device or features -> bad.
If it were available it would be part of how libraries are designed and you would use it all the time.
The article touches on this - the practise began with orphans (from the regiemes executions!) and illegitimate children from poor single mothers handed over to the church. But as social mores changed in the sixties, single parenting was not such a social stigma and so the "supply" dried up. At this point the church had people "alongside" management of hospitals etc, so the institutions were compromised, and the next more awful step could go forward.

It's interesting to compare the institutions being compromised by putting idealogues in hierarchical power with Hitler and the SA / SS. It seems that is the "playbook".
Even so, I imagine that people who don't have jobs drink less coffee (they don't have anywhere to be). And those same people are probably of lower socioeconomic status.

>Perforated walls offer very little privacy or protection from the environment, animals, or people.

Not being able to seal and air condition these homes will kill a lot of people when "wet bulb" events start becoming commonplace. I'm thankful I live in a climate far from the equator where we get more of a dry heat.
Sounds a bit like the claim that micronutrients like zinc or cadmium can't qualify as toxins (despite having toxic qualities at high doses).
So, insulin pumps linked to continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) do exist. For example, "Tandem Control-IQ" or "Minimed Smart Guard". These are known generally as "Hybrid closed-loop" systems.

They work very well and generally offer positive outcomes for most people with Type 1 diabetes. They are called "hybrid" because they do not try to correct for carbs that you eat ("bolus"), rather they only try to adjust background insulin levels ("basal") and do some "mopping up" if you mis-dose for carbs you eat.

The main things holding them back are that:

- CGMs only measure glucose in interstitial fluid, which has a time-delay of 5-15 minutes from veinous blood glucose

- Injected insulin also takes roughly 5-15 minutes to start acting and peak action is after an hour.

That means your PID controller could have up to a 30 minute lag time to the system it's controlling. And let me tell you, blood glucose isn't a slow system. It can go from dangerously high to dangerously low in 30 minutes (or vice-versa).

The body has the advantage that its insulin is faster acting, it can sense blood glucose changes faster, and it can use other sensors (e.g. glucose receptors in the mouth can start insulin production before it ever hits the bloodstream).
Tangential question. Why don't Americans pronounce the "l" in "solder"?

It's the .154" Molex stuff that tends to melt after 20 years spontaneously. Not sure what plating they use bit it turns into a power dissipating resistor after a bit which is not good when you're shoving a few amps through it.
As usual be attentive and suspicious when using such tools as its suggestions might not be appropriate. For example let's take the following code:

with open("foo") as a:
contents = a.read(100)

Running it through refurb produces the following suggestion:

> main.py:1:1 [FURB101]: Use `y = Path(x).read_text()` instead of `with open(x, ...) as f: y = f.read()`
The only believable explanation for the attack on Nordstream I have heard so far is this threat.
That is, the supposed idea is to make Europe wonder if any other pipelines could be targets.

Newsflash: the Germans are still shuttering their nuclear plants! They merely extended 2 of the 3 still operating plants for a few more months (until mid April 2023), I guess because that's how long they can operate with the existing fuel rods - Either at continuously diminishing output, or they reduce output now so the power can be used should it be necessary during the winter months. For anything more, they would need to source new fuel rods from somewhere, and there the dominating player is, wait for it, also Russia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosatom). So: don't trust what politicians say, but also take what journalists (all journalists, not just the likes of Tucker Carlson) say/write with a big grain of salt...

I live in Odessa, Ukraine, and I have had to go to shelter from missile strikes and suicide drone attacks several times in just the past few days.

I have also lived in Russia. It can be awkward when the Ukrainians see my old Russian visa in my passport when I cross the border.

Where do you live? Ukraine? Russia? How close are you to this issue personally? Got any skin in the game? How many blatant lies are you going to ignore so your Nazi-apologist worldview isn’t compromised?

Yep. To be honest a lot of stuff we didn't clean flux off professionally. Anything which was solvent safe would be soldered on, the board cleaned, then anything not solvent safe would be soldered on and it'd be left.
$2k/yr to insure $350k is break even at one catastrophic insured event every 175 years. There are many properties that are expected to burn more frequently than that.

> I am also paying California and federal taxes. This girl talks about federal money as coming from nowhere. But they are not from nowhere, they are from my pocket. If they are that scarce, I would rather spend them on rebuilding California towns, than say Ukrainian ones.

Rebuilding Ukrainian towns reinforces the wavering American hegemony, which has many benefits for Americans broadly. Rebuilding some town that'll just burn down again in a few years? Negative value, just another liability. Tax revenues of <20% insured value/yr will never cover the cost.
> UCSC problem because the university is expanding without building enough dormitories and relying on development in the city instead

This is the largest root cause of the problem.

Population of Santa Cruz is ~64K people. Enrollment in UCSC is nearly 20K. That's a lot of incoming students for a small town.

Combine with the geography of being surrounded by steep mountains and the ocean, there is very little area to the city.

City of Santa Cruz is ~8000 acres, all of it pretty much built already.

UCSC campus is ~2000 acres, a large part of it (couldn't find percentage) is forest and open land.

So while UCSC owns most of the undeveloped land in the area, they keep increasing enrollment but don't provide housing. Where are students going to go?

There should be a law that UCSC can only enroll as many students as they have housing for. They have plenty of land to build it.
There’s a pretty good documentary on Netflix called Last Breath about a saturation diving incident in 2012.
Yes - I should have clarified that. The extra flux thing is the problem :)
