This whole idea of le crazy chess grandmaster is so silly. Fischer, even as he was declining precipitously, was producing cogent analysis and annotations on grandmaster level games.

Strangely, "big turkey" has also double the price of a turkey for Thanksgiving in the same time frame.

I wonder when people will appreciate inflation is actually through the roof and the government is lying.

"8%"

Every single item has gone up by more than 8% this year. In my experience, 20% seems about like what I've seen.

South Korea, Japan and Taiwan are combined 50%+ of semiconductor production and have wages similar to Western Europe, their factories are already heavily automated and well run. These are not sweatshops with people running around hammering transistors with chisels.

Just before Kennedy was killed he fired a man named Allen Dulles, then head of the CIA.

Dulles, as would make sense given that he was just fired by the man, was then put in charge of the investigation of who killed Kennedy.

There's an airport named after Dulles in DC. Which is funny: he never came up when I was taught history in school.

I'm not sure what kind of importance you ascribe to HN, but from here outside of SF I feel like Google doesn't give a remotest shit about this gathering, and generally has the feelings sensitivity of a triceratops. Moreover, they're actively undermining power-user workflows on Android—so the attitude can in fact be measured as negative, if only by passing chance.
> There are also SE jobs where you have to be everything. Tweaking servers, calling customers, designing and implementing backends, some frontend work, maybe even helping out with the company website. Meeting with CEOs of partnering companies. I don't see typical blue collar workers doing well in that sort of situations.

Generally I don't know, I certainly did fine in that type of environment (has been most of my career) - I don't think it's that dis-similar to a contractor (construction not soft-eng) who has to essentially run their own business and do similar types of things.

Some of the smartest (not necessarily academically) people I've worked with where in traditionally "blue collar" roles - most developers aren't that special or that smart (and I include myself in this) - at best we have an aptitude for computers that others lack.
Ask HN: Why not Web components in 2022?
Hey Frontend devs,
I was curious about the state of web components and why they haven't caught up? Are they widely supported already? As far as I see, Github already many web components if you view the page source, whole FireFox UI is all made of web components and of course Github won't put them if they weren't widely supported I assuem.

So if that's the case, Vanilla JS (or Typescript) with custom written components with some SPA routing (think page.js or similar) should go pretty far especially when things Playwright can pierce shadow DOM as well and no need for whole heavy toolchain and frameworks such as React. No?

Thoughts, caveats, experiences, ideas?
People used to buy travel books from known publishers where the author had at least gone to the restaurant or hotel at least once. I haven't bought one in decades, but maybe that is the future.

[quote]On which level and for what purposes do external parties have access to rented servers?

Hosting providers do the initial operating system installations (most often through the remote management software), after that we remove their access from the server. After this they may have access to the remote management software of the servers, so that they may aid in rebooting and reinstalling faulty servers, but they have no direct access to the operating system or the software running on the server itself.[/quote]

If its a PiKVM, they can configure on the OS something like usbguard to reject the KVM keyboard (while still allowing access to the reset and power buttons via jumper). However, if its iLO, then its a BMC and I believe it has full access to the host regardless.

Great overview. I'm always excited by newer features to CSS that make older JS-only methods obsolete. I've also grown CSS-tooling fatigued after using SASS and PostCSS plugins for years. I've recently gone back to only using vanilla CSS on personal projects and while there are niceties I do miss (nesting) it's refreshing not having to deal with config files or waiting for stuff to compile.

Now you've learned your lesson to not cruise through yellow lights. Also, mind your lane position. I'm always in the left-most position to maximize driver's opportunity to see me.
Is this a legitimate concern?
No, but it'll force them to go to places that are actually planned to accommodate them. Tourists are included in city planning, believe it or not, but they're not expected to be taking up the actual residential places of the city. That's why areas are zoned for hotels and there's regulation around them.
> ditch the dsl and expose a pure python declarative api, with imperative escape hatches and a set of best practices + conventions encouraged by templates anf linters.

Fully wholeheartedly agree but, as I stated in previous ocasions in this site, after the nightmares I've seen people, in many different places, doing with a high level tool like Ansible (and also Terraform), I apply heuristics about the probable outcome of every DevOps using a proper Turing-complete language as a general trend and I just want to leave CS and buy a hut in the middle of nowhere.
Perhaps something like that must come after a shift in the mentality of the whole business where people in CS in general, assumes one needs to be a good coder, no matter if you do DevOps of software and therefore, learn about software design patterns, reusability and best coding practices.
yeah that happens, no worries. he will catch up on next occasion (next one might be Fosdem in February but it will be in person and so a bit out of reach for him, likely also for you?).

Nice site! Looking forward for a write up (especially since that would have meant you survived support)

Ask HN: Was anyone working at Apple during Steve Jobs' return in 1997?
The famous story is that Apple was nosediving under the current CEO and that Apple's acquisition of NeXT (and bringing Steve Jobs back as CEO) revitalised the company.

I read about drastic staff / product cuts and re-focusing on the company, however that was always told from the outside.

Was someone working at Apple during that transition and has any interesting stories / can share their experience?
This is called pedigree collapse.
It looks like the US government stopped funding Gain of Function research for 3 years while working on handling guidelines, is that what you are referencing? That seems more like working out some details than burying the forbidden tomes in the desert.
Now that they're maintaining versions based on web technologies and are now just a cog in the VC Funded RapidAPI machine, are you concerned that makes the writing on the wall for the native Mac app?
I once went to the German police over an illegal listing, after the owner got physical when I asked him to turn on the heat at night.

The police laughed at me and told me what I did wrong. Part of it was racism, but the other part of it was just laziness.

To actually get something to happen you have to send a letter to the general prosecutor, who then orders the police to investigate. This process takes months.
The fact that this new iPad uses the old Apple Pencil, and needs an adapter to do so, is the most embarrassing Apple move in years.

Between this and their moves into advertising and lending/payment programs, I am increasingly disappointed in the company they have become. Their priority is no longer making great products, and that's sad.
You have nailed this. I have been pondering about such anonymous marketplaces and I came to similar conclusion as yours.

In a non-tourist marketplace you get lots of repeat customers and not too many inflow of new customers. So merchants are highly incentivised to provide decent quality service/product. If not then they won't get repeat customers and there aren't too many new customers to keep their business running. There's also a kind of word of mouth review. So chances of fake products and scammers is quite low.

Tourist markets on the other hand are exact opposite for reason you have already explained. And an online marketplace is essentially a tourist marketplace. There's a good reason Apple is so ruthless about Appstore moderation. They don't want it to turn into an Amazon like marketplace. The irony is Amazon's unique selling point was that they are not Ebay in that they would vouch for the quality of goods being sold there. But now in search of profit Amazon has become Ebay. And this is how every online marketplace will be I have seen way too many of them.
I think there is a bit of an issue here that isn't addressed in the article. They reference using the SpaceX published ephemerides which are created from the GPS receivers onboard the SpaceX satellites:

"SpaceX satellites regularly downlink accurate orbital information from onboard GPS. We use this orbital information, combined with planned maneuvers, to accurately predict future ephemerides, which are uploaded to Space-Track.org three times per day" [0]

So using the positioning information of the SpaceX satellites is already dependent on GPS. Saying that it could be used as a backup to GPS is a bit non-sensical to me. Sure you could go back to using ranging measurements for each of the satellites to get TLEs from NORAD or LeoLabs or one of the other commercial space tracking companies, but it would likely be less accurate and not updated as frequently as the SpaceX satellites don't have a precision clock onboard for timing and propagation like the GPS satellites do.

There also wasn't much mixing of isolated populations of humans, leading to a relatively large amount of inbreeding. Sort of like a graph with clusters of heavily linked nodes and only a few links between the clusters.

https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22029453-500-inbreedi...

> "“In the distant past, human populations were probably only in the thousands or at best tens of thousands, and lived locally, exchanging mates only with their nearest neighbours.”"

International shipping, and now, air travel, has changed this - the 20th century and the population boom have led to more genetic mixing than at any point in human history.
A lot of the labor inflation is in markets affected by the retirements of the older generation, and Tech is famously young.

There's also labor inflation in markets suffering drain to ones where demand is growing (healthcare etc), but I don't imagine a lot of them are clamoring to bring in software engineers to fill gaps cause we're so specialized.

I think Tech is a little isolated on these fronts from the pressures, and with the rise in rates the amount of investment in the area is likely down leading to less jobs and more free engineers, driving down real wages after adjusting for inflation.

I'm open to being very wrong (hope so) but my expectations are low. I expect a raise just not 8.whatever_inflation_is.

Good time to be a trades person though!
This has been my experience as well.

I gravitated to Ansible because it was language independent, simple to translate line-by-line scripts and didn't require an on server agent to work. Knowing that I could invest into Ansible and take it with me anywhere that I had SSH access was very motivating.

It's not perfect, but it's so much better than my previous experiences that I won't complain about the pain points too loudly.

> Some bureaucrats are absolute trash when it comes to their ethics.

This is all people in general, saving face is part of self preservation. Losing face could mean losing ones life: job, house, family, etc.

I worked at a place where the policy was to lie to the customer if their goods were damaged by employee incompetence. Admitting your employees were responsible basically admits that the company is incompetent. So blame the customer, machine, contamination, act of god, etc. Just throw them some insurance money and continue about business! Always save face.
>> it's what we can say about them

It's still the same issue; consider the halting problem. There are times when we can say a call does not return in a turing complete language (the bottom type, e.g. never in TS or ! in Rust), but the reverse is not true. We cannot be sure a given call will return in a turing complete language even without eval.

You could avoid this for a definition of dead that equates with non-turing complete i suppose but that's not particularly interesting since it's not a general programming language in that case.

Thanks, the TikTok style subtitles are a good idea.
This particular article is short on details. In another article I read some time ago, there were allegations of a general theme of being a bit too dogmatic about natural birth, even in emergent circumstances. Women and their families were often ignored when they complained of specific medical symptoms that should have been alarming. This led to significantly worse outcomes for women and babies than in peer hospital systems. It seems in this particular case, a C-section was decided on very late, and then botched. The baby need resuscitation, which was not given in time to prevent brain damage.
Minimum wages will get a raise soon in some countries.
In theory when this happens, the rest get a raise. Not automatically, but some people suddenly stars earning minimum wages and they either quit/switch jobs to get a better play or get more compensation from union agreements.

It will happen

OTTO: a Palindrama

Was the best book I've read to my kids this year.

My 6 year old has been running around the house talking in palindrome. My mind was blown, and I had a few chuckles at some of the inventive palindromes. The story barely made sense, but it didn't matter. Highly recommended.
The language in the RFC that Google and Microsoft forced through the IETF to open-wash it uses "MUST" in capital letters when talking about setting up the HTTP3 endpoint and verifying the cert. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9114/

I would be extremely relieved if I am wrong and someone could explain how I am wrong. Like... maybe there's some mechanism to self-sign without CA and use a null cypher? So even if most users would be scared away geeks could click through (like today's status quo with self-signed ssl certs).
That’s a hand wavey way to make a claim that can’t be backed up.

What you had then was in no measurable way more advanced architecturally or conceptually. Name one facet in which it was more, could do more, or faster, or better.

You can’t because it couldn’t. No part of your setup was cloud native. Nothing was abstracted away, a core tenant of the cloud.

You can’t just redefine words however you want.
That there's nothing to stop another developer from coming along and putting another for loop inside it.
Well, how much more could realistically be built? I agree, not a fan of housing supply being kept artificially low... but as they say "someone has to have the beach houses."

If there's only 100 units in a car-less block and 500 ppl that want them, what could be done if you've reached the limit of what can be built?

I guess you could go up, making sky scrapers... but now I have to admit I'm out of my element. Not sure if that's viable.
Yes, but.

As far as I understand, in the US Uber is a dude with a car and a drivers license, who installs an app on their phone and starts driving people around. In European countries I know Uber is just another way to call a taxi.

Big difference. I'd say it's not too wrong to say that the "dude with a car who installed an app" model is mostly outlawed.
A visual explanation of how DNS lookups work
Yeah the damp / mold smell is a no-go for me. I rented a place in a popular east coast resort town for the family, and the first thing that hit me was the damp and moldy smell of an existing or recent moisture problem. Not an AirBnB, but some hosts/rental places just don't care about guest comfort.

It cast a pall over the whole stay. It was hard for me to be comfortable, I could not imagine a long-term stay. The kids didn't mind though, and luckily we weren't worse off for it.

I don't know whether the research should have been done, but it wasn't done for no reason, and information it obtained seems quite useful. The hope, and general assumption, has been the same mutations that led omicron to be so transmissible also reduced its lethality. This research suggests otherwise (that it was happy coincidence). That would be very concerning (and makes me want to get the omicron variant vax)
Broken clock I guess.
I got a bulletin from our security team saying Postman stores it all in plain text on their servers. Unbelievable if true. Haven't used it since. They have all your passwords.
Or, you would have the same issue and the library developer wouldn't have time/care to fix it...

Also good sweng practices would dictate to put it in one function that is used in all places so you only need to fix it once.
>After the initial phase of early adopters that offer generally high quality products, a flood of fake or low-quality listing tries to squeeze money out of the platform.

That AND at some point the platform stops subsidizing the service with investment cash - so inevitably the prices rise.

>How to deal with it? Personally I've started going back to hotels to be safe.

I think it will reach some steady state, where there is a niche for traditional hotels and "P2P" rental marketplaces.
It is important to add that Nietzsche's idea that "God is dead" (more precisely, the role of religion in acting as a values substrate for society) has also slowly been playing out, which gives the forces you listed more space to grow.

Your assertion that 90% of scientific papers aren't reproducible is extremely simplistic. There is a vast difference in reproducibility across the different scientific fields. A lot of the "reproducibility" crisis is taking place in fields that are not even traditionally known as science.
What customizations do you want to make? I made a few macros in FORTH, but that's probably not what you're talking about. Plus, those macros were stored on floppies, not nvram or a hard disk, so you had to remember which macros you put on which disk.

But yeah, you can't change the desktop image on the Cat (cause there is no desktop.) And you can't change window border width (cause there are no windows.) It's a very focused interface.

That may be true for ST but NXP is still quoting me 60+ weeks for LPC and Kinetis parts. Most of that is targeted to automotive but I don't see a flood of cars coming off the lines either. Where are these parts?

STM32 also seems to be counterfeited more than other lines. Kind of glad I don't have to sift through that right now.

The only real solution to this (assuming that grading systems are all that valuable in terms of optimal educational outcomes) is to base grades on in-class essay writing (and for CS, in-class coding) where students don't have access to any outside assistance, and have to think quickly.

Using tools outside class to practice for the in-class work would make a lot of sense however, as students could then rapidly see what a decent essay or code body looks like.

What evidence do you have to make the claim that the CIA is funding this forum?

There are people in Texas that argue for secession from the US. I don’t assume that they are secretly funded by an adversarial nation.

Whenever you have a large population, there’s going to be some number of them that hold unorthodox views.
People have short term vision because everything gets reduced to quarterly results now. Changes take time.
