But no, UNIX is very much not generic, and I generally find Linux people get very upset when I call it a UNIX. Which it is, but even 29 years on, people still think that "Unix" means "based on AT&T code".
the curly braces in that font are TOO CURLY
I feel like screen-sharing apps on phones are a part of this problem.

Apple goes out of their way to make sure you can't record video off the Netflix app or other apps that play copyrighted media. However, as far as I can tell, they do not make similar safeguards available (optionally) for financial apps.
Don't they store IDs on the server?
So Biden flying all the way and fist bumping MBS, who he is accusing of murdering a journalist, backfired?

The Saudi is implying the EIA is fudging demand data and keeping the prices artificially lowered to help with mid term elections.

I assume things will all go back to "normal" after the mid terms.
I have friends in Russia who actually believe this. They think Russia is winning and the West is in utter chaos, and will soon fall. I saw advertisements on Russian TV showing how Europe is freezing and so on. Meanwhile one fifth of Russian households doesn't even have a toilet. They have a completely different mindset.
You took a step that requires a lot of skill, wealth, and privilege.

Yeah, think that's the strategy and what is going too. Good observation.
The only wall I see is a paywall.
I mean, yeah I would call someone in a brand new $75k vehicle wealthy, even if they did take financing to afford it. Especially if they took dealer financing. Who buys new and who can qualify for a loan like that these days? But if you’re talking a $15k used model and taking financing on that, that’s a different story.
Ha very true, the cobwebs of time had erased that from my memory.
Weird - when I watch youtube videos, it doesn't say anything like that.
Please, just let me type dates.
> At the very least from what I recall there are sections of songs and poems which made my eyes glaze over and just skip.

I felt the same way the first time I read the books. But the more I re-read and understand about Tolkien's worldbuilding the more I particularly appreciate them. The culture of Middle Earth is passed down by song and poetry, and when songs show up in the books they aren't just random interjections of the author but strands of culture connecting the characters.

If Tolkien had sprinkled more of the content of the Simirilion throughout LotR a lot of the meanings and symbolism would have been made more clear, but I don't think it would have been as immersive. The enjoyable thing about Tolkien is that he balances giving you enough explicit detail to follow and enjoy the main narrative, while also giving you a breadcrumbs that reveal the complex cosmology that contextualizes everything and is in the back of every characters mind.
I'm not convinced either of you have read enough of either encyclopedia to have anything like a representative sample.
> it’s important to remember that TypeScript does not provide any assurances about a variable’s runtime type, especially if the data is coming from an external source (like an API). In those cases, you often need to use type assertions or guards anyway to assert the returned type because TypeScript can’t infer the type of dynamically fetched data. So destructuring the data is more dangerous than defensive coding (like using the optional chaining operator or good-old if statements).

Optional chaining or null checks should not be used "defensively". They should just be used whenever TypeScript tells you to. Otherwise you just exacerbate the problem and end up with more unanticipated null values.

If you're dealing with an API with untrustworthy types or lots of null values, the solution is to:

a) Write mostly optional type definitions for that API, and/or

b) Use zod to verify the API data before you use it, to make sure it matches your expectations.

Yeah but you said most of the folks in your bubble side with Russia. So I'm curious what arguments people who support this cruel war have.
We say it's your own fault because it would be so hard to lock up all the hackers. Can't just send a swat team to China, Russia, North Korea etc.
This leads be to believe that they'll be launching a writing tablet product ala Remarkable which will bear the notebook moniker.
oh, nice idea with temp sensor.

I have extinguishers all over the house, but hadn't considered a temperature sensor set to send alerts.

Do you have any recommendations?
And it's Friday. Top posts here seem to be a bit less focused on the typical HN topics on Fridays.
This is a masterpiece of creating bureaucracy that will do nothing to reduce mass surveillance and will never provide any redress to people who are spied upon.

Eu citizens will have to first complain to a national body. Here is how I think that will go:

EU citizen: "Hey I think the American government has looked at my data in a way that is not intended to be allowed by GDPR"

Two years later: National body: "You can't prove the Americans have looked at your data, we will not process this complaint".
The Higgs Boson at 5 Sigmas (2012)
That historical detail is actually somewhat irrelevant to the quote. This is from "Either/Or" and Kierkegaard was making a point about the nature of decision-making and regret, not about marriage. The fuller quote:

"If you marry, you will regret it; if you do not marry, you will also regret it; if you marry or if you do not marry, you will regret both. Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it; weep over it, you will also regret it; whether you laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both. Believe a girl, you will regret it; if you do not believe her, you will also regret it; if you believe a girl or you do not believe her, you will regret both. [...] This, gentlemen, is the sum of all practical wisdom."

And later:

"Were I to wish for anything I would not wish for wealth and power, but for the passion of the possible, that eye which everywhere, ever young, ever burning, sees possibility. Pleasure disappoints, not possibility."
I can understand your statement, but by doing that you will find that A LOT of people will check the insecure options because “that a not going to happen to me”.

Remember you have the “rescue keys” from google to avoid these kind of problems.

The bigger problem is how you teach those people how to use the services in their situation.
I recently did a round with several startups that were Series A looking for CTOs or heads of eng. So many of them really were lots of SaaS solutions strung together. When I asked what the core competency of the team was that differentiated this business from any other, it was often "the experience." Suffice to say that my heart wasn't in selling myself for those jobs.
That is not what the law says; what's your basis for it?
Not sure what you’re getting at?
They claim they are not backed by any governments, but decline to say who is backing them. Just as an example I came across yesterday, the San Francisco Standard is "not backed by any government and rely on donations", but their funding comes from a billionaire venture capitalist. The same claim could be truthfully made by a site backed by a Russian oligarch just as well. And regardless, there's no evidence.

I agree that Wikipedia's mechanism has its challenges; anybody who knows the site does. But it's vastly better than "any publication from 1980" because every edit is tracked, the citations should be available for all to see, and people can object to and/or edit bad content.

Just as an example of how a book from the olden tymes could go wrong, consider Trump's "The Art of the Deal". It sold more than a million copies, but its ghostwriter took 20 years to admit that it was a lot of horseshit: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/07/25/donald-trumps-...

Wikipedia is way more auditable than that book or most books from that era. And way more auditable than The Gray Zone that you've chosen to cite.
Everyone knows Kralovec is czech.
there are some civilized who do find these disgusting. the ones shouting for "peace" are all flagged, deleted, removed and purged from the internet.
What is most interesting about this article is that this doctrine seems not to have changed for 20 years. I was told the exact same thing back in the early 00's: "Wikipedia is the devil".

It's a well known fact to anybody that has passed through them that public schools are a fucking joke. It's not the teachers fault, it's the budget's fault.

Another point with regard to this article is that the notion of single-source citation is absolutely stupid. At CERN, do you think scientists see a single event that confirms the existence of the Higgs boson, and then declare victory? Absolutely not. So why would you rely on one article saying that "X" is true. Use Wikipedia, and Google, and synthesize an averaged perspective, or at least a perspective that takes into account incongruencies between sources if nothing less. The irony then of me assuming that public schools are still peddling "Wikipedia=bad" based on a single article is not lost on me.
Yeah, I guess that's about the optimal amount of checking for most things. I recently had some work done and did a decent amount of checking but it still felt like a 50/50 chance of getting taken for a ride...
It's basically a shitty way to push people to communicate. When people mention "well just get rid of it and talk asynchronously", one of the counterarguments tends to be "but X may not communicate".

Of course, no one bothers to answer the question "why does an adult need a daily reminder to speak?", and no one considers the repercussions of such a ritual (people will start hoarding questions until the daily, which makes the daily longer, which.. you get the point).

That's the entire problem with Scrum anyway. It expects a very specific environment and immediately risks becoming redundant in such an environment (based on team preferences). Outside of that environment, it fails to do anything.
Incorrect. Plenty of nuclear programs did not receive subsidies from military usage. South Korea, Japan, Sweden, and Belgium for instance all have significant nuclear power development but no nuclear weapon programs.
I see. In what areas are you prepared to make the symmetrical deal? That you'll do less and get less while investing more time in understanding areas other people are less expert in?
A symbiotic ecosystem – how Google contributes to the telecom sector
Plus the supposed savings of in-house hardware only materialize if you have sufficiently managed and queued load to keep your servers running at 100% 24/7. The advantage of AWS/other is to be able to acquire the necessary amount of compute power for the duration that you need it.

For a large university it probably makes sense to have and manage their own compute infrastructure (cheap post-doc labor, ftw!) but for smaller outfits, AWS can make a lot of sense for scientific computing (said as someone who uses AWS for scientific computing), especially if you have fluctuating loads.

What works best IMO (and what we do) is have a minimum-to-moderate amount of compute resources in house that can satisfy the processing jobs most commonly run (and where you haven't had to overinvest in hardware), and then switch to AWS/other for heavier loads that run for a finite period.

Another problem with in-house hardware is that you spent all that money on Nvidia V100's a few years ago and now there's the A100 that blows it away, but you can't just switch and take advantage of it without another huge capital investment.
What are you using for a homelab priced temperature sensor?
Numerical stability is when you do operations on the matrix while still keeping an eye on the overflow and underflow flags, all the way during the algorithm execution.

This means regardless of how big your matrix is, or how big or small your numbers are — or even the relation between them —, you algorithm is going to be stable and accurate. If it can't be (stable), the library must let you know. This is so you can keep the numbers scaled such that they are not too large, nor too small in order to keep them stable for the operations you need to execute.
How the Internet works (and is paid for)
I agree with this, I feel the regulations at the time they were cheating were unjust, as the technology didn't exist to meet them yet. Most of their competitors simply pulled diesels from the market, but the VW TDIs were still the most efficient cars on the market in terms of CO2, a more important environmental issue than the things they were cheating on (NOx).

Ironically, my thoughts are that what they chose to do was the most responsible course of action environmentally and ethically, because the alternative outcome (people driving less efficient vehicles) was worse.

> the ability to reserve the server on specific days

In an environment where there are not too many users and everyone is cooperative, using Google Calendar to reserve time slots works very well and is very low maintenance. Technical restrictions are needed only when the users can't be trusted to stay out of each other's way.
When I did it, all it meant was anyone offering a line of credit to me if I'm not present right in front of them is supposed to call me to verify I want it. It's not even really any inconvenience to have "frozen" credit.

Why the everloving fuck that's not the default, but something you have to request, I have no idea.
Well put on what language is. Language encodes the delta of worlds. There are way more unsaid than what is said explicitly.
NRR Doesn't Matter
>yours always puzzles me. How do the folks in your bubble justify a full-scale war against Ukraine?

With stuff like the tacitly endorsed odessa trade unions massacre which our bubble ignores or downplays.

It puzzles me that you find it puzzling. How hard was it to talk Americans into waging a war of aggression on Iraq or Afghanistan?
I find it hard to say who gives a shit when civilians are being bombed no matter by whom. Middle East or Ukraine.
I don't believe there are any substantial consequences, it's just a way to make Putin even more angry. Nobody is going to start a war with Russia on this as long as they have nukes, no matter how many harsh words are exchanged over this issue.
That is in fact the real reason some credit card companies won't let you pay for porn. Amex was preventing it for years before it was a PR/wokeness issue.

The scenario is, someone pays for porn, their spouse sees it on the bill and gets really angry, and the other person says it wasn't me, it must have been fraud! So they file a chargeback.
Well, it's not the same OS, but it's an older version of the same OS:

Knock yourself out. :-)

Just want to look at it, not install it? Bootable demo CD:

Mirror:

NOTE: it will not boot from USB. You need to burn this onto an optical disk, and boot from that disk in an optical drive, if you want to run it on hardware.

If you just want to run it in a VM, it'll be fine.

It will always depend on the application.
The hypothesis that you can't learn some things from text - you need real life experience, is intuitive and I used to think it's true. But there are interesting results from just a few days ago saying that text by itself is also enough:

> We test a stronger hypothesis: that the conceptual representations learned by text only models are functionally equivalent (up to a linear transformation) to those learned by models trained on vision tasks. Specifically, we show that the image representations from vision models can be transferred as continuous prompts to frozen LMs by training only a single linear projection.

Can’t really tell because I don’t pay much attention. It’s a proxy war between the us and Russia, the oblasts belong to Russia, Ukraine breached the Minsk treaty, Russia needs access to the sea to secure the country against the nato aggression, Ukraine massacres civilians… etc

Nothing justifies the dead civilians but I guess war is war, what are you going to do.
At my company engineers run the services they're working on locally (on their laptops) in docker containers and they also run any other containers their service/app/client needs like the database, a copy of the auth service, and other dependencies, etc. Usually with docker compose.
I understand completely and feel the same way about my own father.

My dad was also an episodic alcoholic. He'd go months without any issues, then disappear for three days on a binge. He'd drink such a massive amount of alcohol he'd have to go onto a IV drip.

My 16 year old self became so disgusted by him I refused to tell him I loved him and shunned him. We tried to give him the "tough love" we thought he needed so that he would "hit bottom" and then take some control back. It didn't work, and he ended up dying alone in a hotel room.

I now see that he needed more love and support instead of tough love and isolation. I wish I had been more patient, understanding, and supportive.
I will still occasionally buy CDs (I bought my first player in 1984 - the Sony CDP-101), but I'm a lot more critical about what I buy now. For the past 10-ish years, the studios have been eliminating dynamic range and cranking the knob on their compression software to "11". As a result, music has become painful to listen to.

The name for this is the Loudness War, and with the exception of titles like Daft Punk's Random Access Memories, we are losing.

I don't think Putin wanted to crush EU. He is desperate to start the oil.

This whole warfare is for resources (oil and gas). Both the US and Russia have investments in the black sea but Burisma and co (With US investments) are strangling the Russian energy companies slowly.

NATO/NAZis/Democracy/Freedom/Freeing DPR etc are all excuses by Russia and West while the primary reason is gas and oil

US has been rabidly pushing EU to cut off all Russian energy for years and years.

Ah, yes

I can read the headline now

“GOVERNMENT PROGRAM TO CHIP HOMELESS PEOPLE LIKE DOGS TO PROVE IDENTITY”

I implore you to read The Scarlet Letter and perhaps read up on [similar such things](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identification_of_inmates_in_G...).
Interestingly it lets see both the iOS and Material Design versions of the component.

iOS has a strange combination of arrows to handle the month: right to expand the months dialog, down to close it. It took me a while to understand that the down arrow would bring me back to the calendar. Why not right and left? Maybe it is how it works on a Mac too.

MD and anything else I remember has a down arrow to expand and an up arrow to close.
When I initially moved to the US over a decade ago, there was an initial point of vocab confusion for me with everyone referring to those as "laptops". While everyone in my old country was referring to them as "notebooks" (not just Apple, but as an entire class of devices regardless of the manufacturer). "Laptop" wasn't a word anyone used, so I just assumed it was another weird case of using an adjacent borrowed word from English, instead of the canonically correct (as I assumed) "laptop".

But now, turns out, Apple was calling them "notebook" and now switched to "laptop"z I feel like I am missing something important here. Under which context would one normally use laptop vs notebook? Is it regional? Or are there some device-specific nuances involved?
Long time OW player here.

Smurfs in overwatch (1) were incredibly obvious because

a) each players 'level' - which correlates directly with hours played - was prominently displayed, so new accounts were immediately identifiable; and

b) as a hero-based shooter, there are various macro strategies and hero-specific techniques that genuinely new players simply can't be aware of

Many smurfs would also have unintended "fancy" battle.net tags - think ツ kinda thing - which were only available by initially purchasing account with region set to an Asian country before then changing it to US.

At it's worst, one would simply look at the player names and levels on the loading screen and know which team was going to win before the match had even started.

Combined with relatively long match times and the inability to forfeit in Overwatch; the end result is many, many hours of dead rubber games over the years.
My dad had a large vinyl collection. I collected tapes, then CDs, then mp3/lossless. Out of all these media types CDs were my least favorite. They didn’t offer much convenience over tapes, didn’t look as nice as records, were far less portable and shareable than mp3. Also I really disliked how fragile those plastic cases were.

I miss tapes the most. They were so physical (being able to rewind using a pencil)! Also the ease of recording music from the radio, CDs never really matched that.
What is CONSISTENTLY higher quality that wikipedia?
Sure, I suspect you could clear 3k from picking the right house and taking a week to sell stuff. But what about the 50th hours?

Without someone to take the risk and a sizable cut your best bet might be a few fake ID’s and a multi city spree of pawn shops. Though if you have access to high quality fake ID’s banks are probably a much better option.
That is because creditor's have every incentive to make sure they only barely perform identity verification. It's not at all uncommon to find out about people who discover someone else took out a loan in their name, but is actually making payments on it. It happens when someone is wanted for criminal investigations, an illegal immigrant, or just has crap credit.

Crappy identity verification basically widens their customer base.
You seem to assume that everybody on this website knows what Ring UI is. But I didn't know and judging from quite a few other comments here, I wasn't the only one. All we had to go by was the title "JetBrains Ring UI" and a comment stating that a date picker looks nice. Without any kind of description it's not that weird to assume a website with a datepicker works decently on mobile.
1935: Einstein Podolski and Rosen publish a paper (the EPR paradox) that says quantum mechanics either breaks relativity’s FTL, either has hidden variables, either is a non local theory.

1960: Bell finds a set of equations (Bell’s inequalities), they are a set of measures of correlations of a quantum system that separates cases: if the correlation is under a certain limit then QM has hidden variables, if it’s over then there are no hidden variables: QM must be a non-local theory.

After this, experimental physicit have implemented this experiment with more and more precision. All the experiments point towards non-local reality.
