This looks like a great speaker lineup. Any details on how to attend? Is it all just livestreamed on YouTube?
1. Nothing. Someone was writing a QNX-type kernel in Rust. What happened to that? There's L4, but it's too low-level. It's more of a hypervisor. People usually run another OS, usually a stripped-down Linux, on top of L4. QNX offers a POSIX API, so you can run applications directly.

2. C++. Here's the source code. [1]

3. No.

They leave out major costs because they don't pay those costs. Power, Cooling, Real Estate are all significant drivers of AWS costs. Researchers don't pay those costs directly. The university does, sure, but to the researcher, that means those costs are pre-paid. Going to AWS means you're essentially paying for those costs twice. plus all the profit margin and availability that AWS provides that you also don't need.
And every ticket is complex, and the PM is annoyed that every ticket is being faithfully marked as such. But they balk at taking the time to try to plan out that high level goal to enough extend that we can break the ticket apart into smaller pieces that make sense, or just make it an epic because it is one and add tickets to it as we figure out how we're going to implement $todays_insanity_from_higher_up…
Another way to put this is let thousands of people spend years extra in jail on charges you know are morally wrong, so that you can get re-elected.
Even then, YouTrack (at least the one for JetBrains products) is extremely slow and annoying to use
A/B Experimentation with Interleaving
You're getting the data format confused with the database engine. Yes, a database might just be storing JSON, but how it's stored and replicated matters.
Oh I don't disagree, and am in the strong support of anything that moves away from FPP. The only addition I will make is that these (potentially unfounded) fears is what leads people to continue to vote strategically, such as voting BAC instead of ABC to avoid the potential of C using the strategy.
Let me just go ahead and send my mom an anonymous message asking what time she wants to see me this week. Should work great.
This is extremely widely used. I doubt it is going to go anywhere since your interactions with a website have no expectation of privacy from the website owner.
> Is it typical for you to receive payments via Wire rather than credit card? If not perhaps the customers are fraudulent. Also I'm not entirely sure how SEPA works but could you just accept wires via your bank directly? For wires we've found it's easier to just have it sent directly to our bank account.

Sounds to me you don't actually use Stripe for SEPA transfers yourself?
Do they teach this at SE courses, or at any course that could lead to management positions? And if they do, can young people (with still limited experience of the world and interactions between people) really understand it?
Yeah. "Let's take that offline/out of the meeting" when someone talks longer than 1 minute (longer than 30 seconds if it's a larger team).

By the way, I was at a place that did XP, and one of the rules was that if there was a meeting, there had to be food. What that did is, if someone was talking too much, someone would ask them "Are you going to eat that?" That, um, gently if not subtly told them to stop talking so much. Also, it meant that we got to snack.
I agree with the simplicity approach I like it too. However, I think sometimes we do not have a choice especially in distributed sytems or "micro"services environement. I think with great "complexity" comes great responsibility.
> The Americans sought to achieve this with strategic precision bombing. The UK sought to do so with mass bombing campaigns targeting industrial workers.

Note also that the British had been subjected to night bombing raids themselves
I mean, I have no expertise in any of this, but I was under the impression that there was already evidence of a natural pipeline, though again I don't know the details, but it involved bats and/or pangolins. Also, given the name of the virus is sars-cov-2, I would think that a sars-cov-1 might already have happened and could perhaps qualify as another example of a similar virus with a natural origin.

I have to say I'm pretty skeptical of the whole lab leak theory thing - and it's hard to pin down what a lab leak means - there seems to be a spectrum of theories that range from a virus sampled from natural origins that escaped a lab in Wuhan to a fully lab created artificial virus, and plenty of theories in between.

But at the end of the day, it seems like most people just want it to be true for some reason; perhaps they want to blame China for the pandemic or they just want some explanation that's more satisfying than a random mutation of a virus at the wrong time and the wrong place brought the world to its knees and is still causing downstream affects throughout the global economy through to today and probably will for years to come.
Unless the whole point of the puzzle is to determine the logic.

Bruteforcing (aside from taking longer is just not interesting. When people are setting puzzles a lot of time and effort is put into how the logic is expected to work on the path to solving. When people post puzzles for testing if people find a spot where bifurcation is necessary they’ll generally point it out and the setter will check to see if they made an error or whether the person testing has missed some of the logic.

I love how this gets rediscovered by people every few years :)

I still have a floppy set somewhere. I loved it. I ran it in a 486 IBM all in one I had with a compatible NIC for a long time as a conversation piece and guest light surfing machine. Amazing how well it ran up till fairly recently when standards outstripped its browser too much
Would duct tape pass the pre-launch vibe check? You'd have to do some engineering work to make sure it's sturdy, doesn't have any impact wrt oscillations, won't create FOD (debris) etc.

Once you've done all that work, I'm not sure what you've actually accomplished. By the time any sentient being gets around to visiting JWST, I wouldn't be surprised if an unshielded commercial drive would be rendered totally unusable by radiation.

> Or even an old school reference book like The Art of Computer Programming by Donald Knuth is better for algorithms.

It is rediculous to compare an encyclopedia like wikipedia to an advanced text like Knuth. They aren't trying to do the same thing.
Awesome. Do you have any suggestions for what kind of interchangeable bodies/lenses to look at for a noobie?

I'm also debating getting a film camera too, one of my friends took some really great film photos on a recent trip and he's quite amateurish as well.

Edit: You mentioned Fujifilm, I looked at the X100F and X100V, are those the types you had in mind?
Not being able to go back months or years without pressing the back button 3000 times is the worst possible design for a date picker.
For better or worse, people will often judge you and set expectations via a halo effect. If you're good with writing backend code they likely assume you are good at writing front end code and thus also good at UX.

I sometimes find that I need to reset expectations myself when a business person say for example asks me to create some vector art because I used to do web dev.

Be clear to your co-workers about where your strengths lie and where they would be more productively served by someone else.
The only issue is that the (potentially unfounded) fear of strategic voting on the other side leads people to vote strategically in the same FPP manner by voting ABC instead of BAC to avoid C. But I greatly long for anything that moves us from the anti-democratic FPP.
As in, the networking equipment consumes the most energy? Given the 30x markup on AWS egress I'm inclined to say it's more about incentives and marketing, but I'd love to learn otherwise.
Other automotive OEMs are using it also for other use cases, such as compute nodes doing plenty of crunching mixed with real-time control.

Every-one needs to be a hero in their own head.

So you are fairly safe. You can only fall victim to heroic terrorist attacks.

But not as safe as that sounds. It is about being a hero according to the attackers head cannon, not your head cannon.

Terrorist attacks are down stream from culture. Keep an eye on what movies, novels, religions, and preachers call heroic. The terrorist attacks of 2052 will be distorted versions of what is heroic today.
Estimates are done by developers. If devs think they must do things quickly it's up to them to communicate estimates that will make their life stressful. My approach was not to challenge estimates except if I thought they were too low, which led my teams to almost always meet their sprint goals.
The author makes a convincing argument against doing this workload on on-demand instances, but what about spot instances? AWS explicitly calls out scientific computing as a major use case for scientific computing in its training/promotional materials. Given the advertised ~70-90% markdown on spot instance time, it seems like a great option compared to paying almost the same amount as the workstation but not having to pay to buy, maintain, or replace the hardware.
This isn't about coddling users, it's about not reinventing the wheel.

Sure you could spend hours reading pf man pages. But maybe it would be better use of time if one person figures out how to do it, writes code to do it automatically, and shares that with other people so they can spend more time watching all the movies they download instead of configuring their bit torrent client.
I remember being impressed by the Geoworks environment that was contained in America Online 1.0 (?) for DOS.

So snappy and smooth compared to Windows 3.11 on the same 2MB 386.
It can, if you have the technical ability to write code that can leverage the scale-out that most bursty-cloud solutions entail. Coding for clustering can be pretty challenging, and I would generally recommend a user target a single large system with job that takes a week over trying to adapt that job to a clustered solution of 100 smaller systems that can complete it in 8 hours.
Well that's the problem. An encyclopedia should neither provide nor need such an ordering. But Wikipedia often does need it, while also not providing it, the worst of both worlds.
As a FE developer I appreciate the updates from HN when a bigger company releases something as OSS. It's nice to know what approaches others are taking to solve similar problems.
You really aren't paying attention?

Usage of nuclear weapon in any capacity will be not tolerated by US.

US has directly told to Putin what will be the retaliation. This means that the retaliation will be something that US believes will deter Putin to use a nuclear weapon.

It is obvious that nothing but military destruction will intimidate Putin, so it can't be anything less than that.
I meant torrent client programs, not libraries or websites.
I'm working with academics that have code/support from Red Hat, and rumours are that funding is not gonna get renewed. Red Hat has been a very valuable collaborator, very open to the academia side, and funded a lot of cool stuff around the ecosystem, looks like that's all going away now :(
when combined with minhashing it approximates jaccard similarity, so it seems it would be bounded by that.
This is such a huge effort.

I wonder how much money it must have cost and is it worth it for JetBrains?

How much time would it take for a team of 5 to make a UI library at this level of sophistication (tests, accessibility, response, etc)? 6 months? 1 year?
Just out of curiosity; has anyone here contributed to Wikipedia?
Yeah, but things I wonder: Do people learn surprising things about themselves from their own Wikipedia page, like a connection to some event or other person that they previously weren't aware of? Do they find their pages laughably incomplete or inaccurate?

If there were a Wikipedia page about me, I can imagine that it would probably highlight some insignificant thing (from my perspective) that got my name into a small town newspaper or school / employer public relations piece while omitting several of the facts from my personal top-5 list (in importance) about my own life.

> If everyone votes their honest maximal preference then the plurality says Theocracy A, which is violently opposed by 65% of the population!

I'm failing to see how that's worse than FPTP, which in practice would also result in picking Theocracy A (because the 5% representing the Secular Tolerance Party would be one of those "third parties" which get blamed for spoilers under FPTP).
This post should be flagged for Russian misinformation.
It depends on the topics. I have some knowledge in hard science topics and IT and like you I sometimes read the relevant pages.

They are usually great and very accurate. They are also usually in "layers" with more basic information first and then more details.

I guess this is because you can hardly argue with an integral, as opposed to who the greatest baseball player was.

Yet here we are doing just fine having that anonymous conversation. It won't change your life, but I bet you found out a thing or two from this thread.
Apple does it too. I have three iPhones, one much older than the other two. Recently, in one of my new iPhones, Apple decided to ask me about my passcode I used in my “giggleupstairs’s iPhone” for some special verification scenario. Now, what? I have THREE iPhones, how will I remember which iPhone is this generic looking iPhone name referring to? I kept entering what I thought was the correct passcode for at least three times before realising what was happening. I shudder to think I could have ended up locking up my account like this.
If the employer needs to back-door encryption to discover your personal activity, how is it their business what you are doing? Your activities obviously caused them no public issues. If they did, the encryption back-door would not have been necessary for the discovery.

In more civilized areas of the world privacy rights are explicit, and even things like employers snooping on employee email accounts on company owned email servers is illegal. When at work, you are selling your time to your employer, but that doesn't imply that the employer owns you while you are at work.

As to the sibling comment about cameras in workplace bathrooms, yes employers did this and now there are laws prohibiting it. Now, employers just account all your time using bossware leading to e.g., folks at Amazon having to pee in bottles or wear diapers on the job to not get fired. There is no line that some capitalist employer will not cross unless we place limits with consequences to reign them in-- e.g., we no longer have employers forcing small children to crawl into running machine tools to clear a jam while risking a limb being sucked into the mechanism and turned into hamburger meat-- but, we did, it was common-- lives of the poor (especially children) were cheap, but stopping an assembly line was expensive.

We can't have density without multi-family units. And density is what's required to make housing affordable in medium-size or larger cities.

> must be either paying for a ritzy place

Yes, a compromise for a more pleasant place to live is price. But a side-effect of more affordable housing is that nicer places also get cheaper.

Another compromise to get a nicer place to live for the same price is to move to less desirable location.
And It would drive inflation in those products that lower-income people in particular purchase.

Actually, I don't think the effect will be big enough to notice, except that I bet there'll be loud and targeted offers for poor people with a lack of judgement: "$1,000 plus a trade-in will get you a new car!" "Click here to invest your $1,000 windfall in BitCoin!"
> It's kind of a ridiculous notion that a site operator cannot monitor how users use the site... this is not wiretapping and I assume (hope) it gets thrown out.

Putting aside how many other ways there are to determine how users use a website without needing to resort to this level of intrusion, the issue is that almost always the user isn't aware this level of monitoring of their actions is happening. Sure, it may be buried deep in some privacy policy or terms and conditions no one ever reads, but that's not exactly what I'd call informed consent. This is where regulation to at least require websites notify their uses that there's literally a recording being taken of their screen interacting with the website would be helpful.
Well obviously Nixon's motivation for the drug ware were't purely about race. It was about hippies too! ;)

Not finding a better home for my rescued Rainbow Lorikeet when I was moving countries. I had him since he was a baby, having found him with an injured wing in the middle of the road. We took him to the vet, who said that they were considered pests in Western Australia, so they'd just put him down; so I took him home instead.

I was moving from Australia to Sweden. I looked into bringing him with me, but how well would a tropical bird really do in _Sweden_, and would he be able to survive the stress of the journey? I decided to find him a good home.

I put an ad up for him on the local classifieds site. I was giving him away for free to a good home, with cage, feed, etc. My requirement was to meet the family first, and that they would promise to contact me immediately if something did not work out or if they changed their minds, and I would make other arrangements. I had hundreds of replies and went through them all. One of them was a family with a young daughter who already had one other friendly Rainbow Lorikeet. They sounded very nice, like they'd be an attentive and stable home, and I thought it'd be great for Goku to have another bird companion, too.

I met them and they seemed great. They were good with Goku. They said they'd take their time introducing the other lorikeet (I wasn't worried about this because they said they had lots of prior bird experience, and we discussed this point specifically to make sure we were on the same page with the introductions). They promised to send me updates and pictures, and we added each other on Facebook.

They sent a picture of Goku perched on their daughter's shoulder the next day and was so relieved because I thought I made a good decision. But after that, it was radio silence. I sent them a message asking how he's doing a week later, to make sure that all was good before I fly out. I got no response. I messaged again a month later, on Facebook, and got no response again. I tried again a few more months later, and then once a year or so for a few years, but they never replied to me. I wasn't spamming them demanding information or anything, just checking in at reasonable intervals, since they agreed to send me updates from the very beginning.

To this day I have no idea what happened to Goku, and feel like I betrayed him. I didn't pick the family carefully enough, and could have taken more time. I got too excited. I didn't even look at bird rescue operations, since for some reason I just assumed a regular home would be better. I'm certain that something bad happened: he got hurt, or they ended up not being the people I thought they were and sold him or something. Otherwise why would it just be total radio silence?
I'd be very surprised if this took 5 FTE years, I'd assume way more. Especially including all the non-devs necessary (designers, managers, etc.).
I was asking seriously. Other than that student newspaper editorial, I have not found any other coverage except news articles blindly restating Dr. Jones' comments and outraged editorials predicting the end of university standards. And naturally, most of the online comments follow the lead of those editorials.

That student newspaper editorial is the only source I've seen for important parts of the story, including the nature of the spring 2022 class, the increased class load, and Dr. Jones' previous evaluations.

I, too, have anecdotes; I spent many years around UTAustin's CS dept and had several friends in the dept undergrad office. I take as dim a view of faculty evaluations as anyone, but one of the things my friends always told me was that something is seriously wrong if any significant proportion of a class comes in to make official complaints. From the start, this story doesn't smell right.

In fact, I know of one instance where an adjunct faculty was asked not to come back for another semester: he was in the process of failing almost everyone in a required computer architecture course because they weren't the EE grad students he was familiar with.

(The growth of non-tenured and non-tenure-track faculty is a wildly concerning trend that has quite a few faculty, particularly adjuncts, upset. If you're familiar with Bret Devereaux (https://acoup.blog), he is currently looking for a new position because his current contract has not been extended.)
> only secret chats are e2ee

IIRC audio and video calls are E2EE as well (in addition, the four emoji that appear on a call allows both parties to check that no one is eavesdropping)
I don't think that's right; Red Hat, culturally, does much more community engagement and open source development. I know several RH developers from working on Ceph-adjacent things and RH has been much more open to contributions and collaborations in academia and industry, plus they funded a significant chunk of research around storage in quite a few labs around the area. IBM never had that kind of culture imo, I would take RH anyday.

From what I know Red Hat devs are also very open in other areas of OS research and development, from the new io_uring, eBPF, etc. IBM is trying to stamp it out, but it's still there.
It's kind of funny around this time of year when some researchers have $10,000 in their budget they need to spend, and they want to 'gift' us with some GPU's.
