I think "old and cynical" is correct, inasmuch as the human brain operates largely on pattern-matching and given that "scientists report breakthrough in X" gets proven to have a very small chance of actually affecting our lives, it becomes easy to be dismissive.

As far as "appreciate anything that might only help the next generations" I think if we are still significantly burning fossil fuels 40 years from now, the next generations are in for a lot of pain even if the very next day they get replaced by fusion, so fusion just feels like it's coming too late to make a major impact.
Anything but Jira.
This is a goodnews day. This, fusion announcement, and the Apple forced to allow 3rd party stores. Haven't had anything like it in a while.

Just bought the game out of respect even if I don't get to play it.
Forever is a relatively time. It means until we change our mind.

It's not the only thing they do.
Once macos and linux support drip, I imagine there will be a new wave of sales too.
I don't really buy that. I run a Syncthing daemon on my Android device and barely notice the difference in battery life. The CPU time that a program like FTP would use in the background seems fairly minimal to me.
I am pretty sure that snowflake didn't use a mod of a signed int32. It used a service discovery pool as part of finagle (and prior to that dns iirc). The server used a very simple method internally to convert time into a integer (that was 52 bits because of javascript). In fact it was completely open source: https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/a/2010/announcing...

The integer generation was pretty simple, there was a fixed id of each server, and unless I a mistaken we have 5 servers per datacenter. Each id was basically <time><offset><id> where time was a millisecond timer, offset was the number of ids generated in that same millisecond by the same server, and id was the machines unique identifier. When we first talked about this process I thought that offset was going to roll, every id would increment it by one. This was changed to resetting it every millisecond specifically so that it would obscure tweet volumes.

At the time I remember reading a LOT of articles estimating tweet volume and most of them were way, way off. I don't know that we ever really put effort into correcting them though. =)

does that even make sense? If it was a loan against his customer's assets then the assets would still be there, and the exchange would simply be broke. If the funds are gone then it doesn't matter what for. He had no business lending his customers money away, he ran an exchange.
Your inference that rich people using private planes means climate change is overblown is a non-sequitur. If your doctor was obese and told you that you should lose weight and exercise more, does that mean that their advice is wrong?

In my own life I know I consume way too much sugar. No doubt it is bad for my health, yet I do it. Does that have any bearing on the notion that consuming 1000+ calories a day of refined sugar is bad for me?

Secondly, you are creating a strawman argument. Show me the scientist who is saying what we need to do is to panic? What they are saying is we need to take corrective actions ASAP. Those two things aren't remotely the same.

Third, you make claims about people's motivations being tied to lacking spiritual grounding. That seems like a testable claim: I would bet there are tens of millions of self-described religious people who believe in AGW and that it is an urgent problem. In my own, US-centric experience, the main correlating factor is political identity, not religious identity.
It may depend on your grade. Since this is a barn (and it would be fine for a sauna), I was using 2nd clear grade C shingles. Lots of knots, some defects, but $49 for a bundle from PJ Currier, a local lumber supply company.
Just bootstrap a second fusion power plant with the first, then continue on, similar to how compilers for a language can be written in the language itself.
Looking at the pictures your way of doing things just seems so much error prone and error prone in a super time consuming kind of way. Like those cuts w/ a chisel have to take a while to do, they have to be precise, and if you screw up the last one the whole board and all the work you just put in it are for waste.
Caveat: This comment is derived from publicly available info. An H-bomb is a two part bomb. The primary bomb is a implosion plutonium bomb similar in make to the nagasaki/trinity bomb. It is theorized the Xrays from that bomb are focused on a secondary cylinder of uranium-238 that has a core of hydrogen and/or lithium. The Xrays ablate this casing at such intensity that the inward force (the opposite force of the ablation) is strong enough to propell the casing inwards at 300 km/second. This squeezes the hydrogen/lithium and causes fusion which releases a tone of energy, but more importantly a huge amount of neutrons. These neutrons cause the 238 in the casing to fission releasing an even greater amount of energy. A Neutron bomb for example replaces some/all of the 238 with lead, so the neutrons escape without causing more fision. Again, this is all speculation from scientists outside the various labs, and using publicly available information.

For power generation, since the energy from any fusion reaction is primarily emitted as heat and neutrons. The neutrons are difficult to utilize and is basically wasted energy, but the heat would just heat water, turning it into steam, then turning a turbine.
I don't often (err, ever…) reply without reading further but this time I must, because: I've never heard this turn of phrase "useless use of cat" and it turned my brain upside-down for a moment, because: "interactive" is precisely how I learn and do and I suppose it was a nice reminder that sometimes really big (read: useless) things are actually kinda small (useful) and vice versa.
journalctl supports grep, queries by priority, time, daemon, and custom defined fields.
the leading zeros are a sign that the poster is unusually short-sighted and only concerned about the next 98,000 years or so in their fixed-size date representations.

before i get tarred and feathered, i'm just going for a cheap ironic laugh here, no offense intended! :) more seriously, i sorta doubt humanity is going to be around long enough to care, and if we are, the odds of some apocalypse resetting our calendars aren't zero.
Epic could already do that. So could Apple, for that matter - but neither of them do. Total whataboutism.
On page 7-8 they explain how "social media company" is defined. It's common for laws to have some examples along with the general rule. It doesn't mean it only applies to TikTok.
to answer essentially,

because matter is energy, you can use conversion energy to turn matter into its stored energy.
Most new code at Apple is not written in Swift, just a small portion.
technically, they are still "set for life" assuming that they are in the house when it floods with lava.

Remember: Build a man a fire and you keep him warm for one night; light a man on fire and you keep him warm for the rest of his life.
> walking or even running for 5 miles each day will not decrease the weight

This is so wrong. Humans have come up with calories as a measurement of how the body burns fuel. Food is the fuel and burning that fuel is spending calories. You can reduce the calories consumed and/or increase movement to burn more. A quick google indicates 1 mile walking is about 100 calories burned for a 180lb person. So walking 5mi is burning roughly 500 calories and if done daily, this would mean 3500 per week which is roughly 1lb of loss. If you replace that 500cal loss per day with 500cal of ice cream then yeah you’re not going to lose weight. So if someone decided to just eat all the same stuff they currently eat but go walk 5mi day they would likely lose weight.

Calculating weight loss is mathematically very simple and software devs should be familiar with feedback loops. The simple formula is track calories, weigh yourself, adjust calories for loss, weigh self. Daily tracking works. The LoseIt app does this for you and adjusts calorie budget when you lose weight (less weight means lower budget).
The 1000 IQ aliens cannot arrive quickly enough to cure us of this hubris.
Instead of a queue, you could just use two indices/pointers to the start and end of the current window.

Also I think on `char in hash_set` you'd want to advance the start of the window until uniqueness is restored, rather than moving start to the end.

E.g. if the string is "abac", when you get to the second "a", instead of restarting the window at the second "a" you want to instead move the start to "b". You might even be able to do something boyer-moore-esque if the hashset is instead a hashmap of chars to index. Then you can directly advance your window by how far in the mismatch is, which probably won't affect asymptotic complexity since you still need to remove elements but allows you to do it in bulk rather than one at a time.
300 MJ is about 83 KWh.

In the UK is 1 KWh is £0.34

So, this costs £28 in electricity to run this experiment. The experiment is a momentary thing.

Clearly there is now some work to, but now this is becoming an engineering problem of how to extend, sustain, and scale this process.
FI-NAL-LEE!

This is the solution that makes sense.

The problem was never the Apple app store restrictions, changes, review-process, etc. It was that no one had a choice about it... not devs and not users.

* Apple can try to impose their idea of "safe", "quality" apps (or whatever it is they are trying to accomplish) in their store.
* other stores can have their own rules.
* users can get apps from the store they want.
So is the conclusion that Shkreli got fooled since this signature isn't in the public blockchain record?
Except that some resistance rates are falling.
With a fission bomb.

Don’t have a good explanation for your second question, although I think the short answer is “not with the way the Livermore experiment was set up.”
So this happened to a guy that worked for me. Loved video games, super talented front end dev. Made a horror game in Unity at evenings and weekends with his best friend. Launched it on Steam. Very low sales. But he learnt a huge amount about marketing and game design based on player feedback.

Designed a second game, put all the marketing learnings into it, 48 hours after launch the biggest streamer on twitch was streaming it.

4 days later he quit working for me. Couldnt be happier for him.

The biggest thing I saw was that 2 guys, Unity, unity asset store and some upwork artists made a really pretty decent game. I love how this has come full circle. I'm 47 and back in the 8 bit days games were made by 1 or 2 people. 15 years ago this just wasnt possible, but now with unity, unity assets, remote for hire work, steam and twitch for marketing you can legit make it as a 2 person studio. I love it.

The distribution of Steam and viral marketing of Twitch have revolutionised indie development for the better. In addition to this, as an asset he now has a Discord server with 10ksss+ subscribers. I doubt he will ever pay for a $ of traditional above or below the line marketing.
Yes, a fair competition, I have no issue with.

But here’s the rub - those competitor apps must use the “universal” apis. They don’t get to use UIKit, CoreData, Foundation (the full one), CoreBluetooth, CoreMotion, ML, etc … they need the open source community (as AshiLinux has done) to build the APIs apple is not paid to make. Then have those reviewed and dealt with in a Gatekeeper like fashion - absolute pain awaits.

Writing Swift in Linux is both beautiful and humbling - there are horrible rough edges, you have to go lower more often than you’d like.

My issue is everyone has it pretty good - and a loud voice is going to make the experience less great overall, at the expense of us all being more equal.
Google simply captured the domain squatter market.
Is it worth losing the user entirely? What about putting the app on both?

Well you should probably get her off iOS then, don't want her getting Pegasus by accident.
Jasper AI Review
Commenting on all of the Trilogy will be quite a task. By the end of Blue Mars it wasn't just the characters who needed a memory refresh, it was me too.

The books do have quite a bit to say, especially in the later sections when they become more overtly about how to best run a society. I'll have to keep checking on this site.
Probably >50% of consumer purchases are imported so it's hard to argue it doesn't benefit them. Imagine suddenly not having access to 50% of the things you buy (or at least having to pay substantially more).
>Just tell her not to enable developer mode

She doesn’t know what that is. She won’t remember what I said 5 minutes after I leave. She will blindly follow the instructions of any official-looking website or any scam caller that instructs her to disable these protections in order to “watch a video” (actually sideload an executable).

> Apple is the master of UX; surely they can figure out a way to keep things secure for users who need it to be?

She got around all of the modern permissions and signing protections on macOS and installed a malicious phony video player that nuked her device and stole her banking credentials. It doesn’t matter what you tell her: she WILL get tricked unless it’s impossible to be tricked.
Quite a bit of PL research is now going in very similar directions; trying to extend Rust's ownership model in a way that can express more patterns of code, while still being reasonably intuitive and ergonomic. (The PL community is already familiar with separation logic, which is quite general and powerful. The assumption is that a middle-of-the-road approach could be very helpful.)
Seems to be standard in those type of documents, e.g. https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/usao-sdny/legacy...
I don’t think there’s any confusion or ambiguity here. This is a page solely about security fixes in updates. They mention (but don’t link, ugh) the CVEs.

I think everyone reading this article would get the correct takeaway.
Since it covers thousands of ex-employees, wouldn't it probably turn into a class action suit?

In which case it hardly seems they'd get away with less payout in the end.

I can't help but wonder if the law in that case would allow for any kind of punitive damages as well.
It’s odd, because you’re framing these questions rhetorically, but you might be well served by asking them earnestly.

There are plenty of parallel comments on this page that describe why people like LosslessCut. It exists because its authors saw a niche they wanted to fill, and the userbase suggests they aren’t alone. How strange to look at that and call it “absurd”.
This is good news. They recently fixed the password issue too so I was able to finally access my account again after over ten years. I think I'll start adding to it.
Ha! Slashdot had a similar problem in the early 2000s because they did a difficult migration for user/post ids, but left the indexes at 32(?).

So, everything worked great until it didn't, and they segment a lot of time future proofing it.
> Bankman-Fried had directed subordinates to update the software in mid-2020 to enable Alameda to maintain a negative balance on its account, the SEC complaint said.

And thus do we have another piece of evidence for why morals and ethics matter, even for software developers. I doubt they'll end up with liability, but I do hope they at least recognize and think about how their actions enabled this whole mess.
They're also totally arbitrary. It should be the user's choice if they want to impose those restrictions, because the user bought the hardware. In any just world, the consumer deserves the final say over what software runs on the hardware they own.
What other platforms has the US banned exactly?

Apple is not a social media company so it's not a good comparison.
Malware abuses them a lot! That's what i meant
> Just tell her not to enable developer mode.

If we're just telling people to do things then why not just tell app developers to publish through the App Store.
I joke with my Son all the time about turning Mercury into gold (He works in the nuclear industry).

Once you get past the enormous energy costs to do this you have a secondary problem, all the gold produced this way is radioactive and it beta decays to.. Mercury.
Is this available somewhere open source? This sounds amazing!
As I wrote on Twitter, neither depth first nor breadth first is likely to give you a cache-friendly layout post-GC. Allocation order would not be bad (and would require a mark-sweep-compact GC instead), but I feel like a GC should be able to do even better than that. It should basically be able to construct a near-optimal layout, perhaps even cache oblivious. After all, it is inspecting the whole connectivity graph and moving objects.
While I understand your concern of who strongarms whom, I don't see it as a departure from the original promise of iOS.

If you need FB or Google, and they go crazy and refuse to keep their apps in App Store, they have web versions, and will definitely maintain them. (As do Reddit and Twitter, despite their trying hard to persuade me to use their apps.)

If you think about Google Meet or FB Messanger, then why? iOS has perfectly good iMessage and FaceTime, and I call them perfectly good completely unironically here.

You can still keep your iOS device as locked-down as before, unless you need certain forbidden non-apple fruit. But that was the case a year ago, too.
Most developers will continue to do that even after iOS allows third party app stores, just as most Android apps publish through the Play Store (even if better alternatives such as F-Droid exist).
TikTok is suddenly a human right now? Someone better tell the UN.
It appears to be a hand-hold terminal designed for developers rather than sysadmins.

That's fine - I'm sure there's a place in the market for that. But given that's the audience, I doubt sign-up is a non-starter for most.
Fossil reserves are irrelevant when the limit is atmospheric CO2 capacity.
I’m still waiting for a rust text editor or ide to emerge and take off. I think that’s going to be ‘the one’. I’ve been trying to go for rust software wherever I can on my new MacBook and it’s always blazingly fast. Alacritty literally loads instantly - makes the terminal experience so much nicer.

In the mean time, I’ve tried out Atom, VSCode, Vim, Emacs and PhpStorm but settled on using Sublime Text and Sublime Merge after watching a senior wizard use them day in day out at my last job. I absolutely love their minimalism: I want as little as possible on the screen to distract me when I’m coding. Atom, VSCode and especially PhpStorm all felt too bloated and cluttered: way too many panels and buttons taking up real estate from the text editor. Focus mode isn’t the solution for me because it’s annoying coming in and out of it all the time when you want to do a file search or look for something in the directory tree or what not. For me, Vim and Emacs were too much of a pain in the arse, both with the endless configuration and research you have to do to get a decent set up and with having to remember all the keyboard shortcuts and look one of them up from a cheat sheet when you inevitably forget. For me, Sublime Text really is the sweet spot between the two worlds.
Yerba Mate doesn't have any sugar in it. You might be looking at a packaged drink, but Yerba Mate itself is nothing more than a tea-like herb.

They're each going to run up five, maybe six, figure legal bills.
Those numbers are much, much larger than 2^32.

No process that touches the real world gets into 2^64. No process at all gets into 2^128, at lwast not while we live around a single star.
Facebook is not a duopoly service that is a significant factor of everyone's lives, controlling the parts not just in their social life but in the professional, financial, and other parts of life.

Yep, I'd certainly recommend not adding new metadata extensions without first checking for existing ones that would suffice.

I'm interested if you have any reading recommendations? Indie Microblogging[1] is on my reading list. My impression so far of existing protocol-based social media efforts is that they're not really going in the same direction I'd like to go myself, but of course you're right that it doesn't hurt to have more background knowledge.

don't you think it's nuts that your arrogance would have you believe that the people on the ground doing the experiment know less about the power consumption and output than you do? Because I do.

There's a lot of supporting stuff as well as energy to drive that stuff that goes into leading edge tech development like this, that does not matter in terms of the reaction itself.

If they say they achieved more output than input, then I will believe them over a random HN comment snob any day of any week.
This just seems spiteful, considering developers already pay $100 a year to develop and distribute apps for iOS.
Not to discourage you, but I've also observed the same pattern of autodidacts being better than traditional engineers... at least for those who stay in tech.

I've seen a lot of self-taught developers or bootcamp grads switch industry or try to move to "tech-adjacent" roles. Making it as an individual contributor is, in my experience, pretty rare.
No.

You can say, anticipate breaking changes that is calendared to happen as an eventually rollover or deprecation

Essentially things have to work one way now and there's solid reason to think it will no longer work that way later and there's no valid path to fix because exogenous conditions change.

This alternatively, can be done in bad faith to guarantee a future paycheck by intentionally placing timebombs in and then charging high rates to come back. There's incentives for abuse.

I'm making it clear and acting in good faith. I can give them 2 hours for free in 5 years, whatever. I'm a competent and responsible person and I get paid well by not being so cheap.
So in an eventual future where BINANCE stops allowing people to withdraw their BUSD, I can go to Paxos door and complain about it? Will my clown USD be returned to me?
That's both unfortunate, and sort of amazing. So she's not technically literate to know if she's being scammed, yet obviously competent enough to follow directions to get hacked.

Prosody 0.12.2 Released
Yeah but you can still use software like Magisk to fake out whatever detection mechanisms they used. With hardware remote attestation, it will be impossible to do that.
New York isn't as upzoned as it could be. Not a lot of 20-30 story mediums priced apartment buildings being built like you'd see in Chinese cities.
> She will blindly follow the instructions of any official-looking website or any scam caller

You probably shouldn't let her use the internet unsupervised, if this is true.
The vast majority of users are in the <25 demographic, which means they basically don't vote. Also only a minority of Americans even use TikTok. It could easily be more popular to ban it (I have no data though).
I'm in the fortunate position of not needing any of those apps. I have never once in the US heard anyone mention WhatsApp as a potential form of communication, and I'm way better off without FB or Instagram on my phone.

And as a side note, Amazon tried this on Android (requiring it for e.g. Prime Video), but gave up at some point.

Phones are different from computers, it is a different market with different requirements. Apple app store is much more succesful than Android “app store”. That is the evidens for you.
