> But somehow, Threema comes out looking even worse

A lot of those issues fall into the category of warning signs that foretell impending doom beyond the immediate problem being identified. Like looking at a house you're thinking of buying and seeing a giant hole in the wall and looking at a different house with a damp mildew smell in every room. The hole in the wall is a more immediate and obvious problem, but the smell suggests the more significant concern.

Cryptographic systems in particular seem good at generating these kind of warning signs, since there is a significant overlap between "I can't immediately catastrophically break this" and "WTF are you doing?". Arguably, making these kinds of terrible cryptographic choices suggests something fundamentally broken in your design process that isn't fixed by just addressing specific weaknesses. This seems especially true in the secure messaging arena, where if you can't articulate an extremely good reason you can't use an existing protocol, the default position should be to avoid your product.
This is a weird article. He's saying we can't do semiconductor manufacturing in US because we don't have enough high IQ people to work in the factory. Is this actually the case? Designing the chips is a high IQ task, but why would you need brainiacs in the factory? Versus someone really good at following instructions.

I read something like this and am reminded that many people in prison for violent crime are sociopaths or psychopaths. I'm not saying there aren't exceptions or even innocent convicts. It's just not the norm. Hard to take anything these guys say at face value.
I think the meant the earnest money, not the down payment. The earnest money is lot less- I did like $3000 on a $700k purchase. The down payment is between you and your financing, the earnest money is what you put on the table for the offer to the seller.

Even then, you can generally get the earnest money back if appraisal or inspection fails.
Not everyone who invested with Madoff lost money.

One client withdrew his funds long before Madoff was found out. With respect to this one customer, Madoff's service "successfully cleared $5.1 billion in liablities".

This is not where the story ends though.

Eventually Picower (his widow) had to forfeit his gains from Madoff's account where all customer deposits were pooled, because let's be honest, it was not Picower's money.

I used to have a Mac6100 DOS Compatible, which was a regular PowerPC Mac, with a daughter board that had a complete 486DX2/66 system on it capable of running DOS/Win3.1/Win95.

> This is the first time I'm aware that Meta is taking back signed, FTE offers.

I did a quick search on twitter and linkedin and found multiple posts about offers being rescinded from various types of jobs over the last year and even earlier. So much catastrophizing from these voices online. If you keep talking about everything leading up to a recession, you're gonna have a recession.

AI SaaS Waste Monitoring Startup
Hello Everyone,

Me and my team recently developed a new software that helps to reduce recycling contamination, divert waste from landfill, and automate waste routes audits. This service provides visibility into waste streams, making it possible to track and manage waste.

One of the biggest issues facing the waste management industry is contamination. When recyclable materials are mixed with non-recyclables, it becomes difficult or impossible to process them for reuse. Using Artificial Intelligence, our software helps to minimize this issue by providing useful information about waste pickups. This allow waste management companies to identify and address any contamination issues as they arise. We discovered this problem while working on a senior project in computer science class, and we believe our solution has the potential to make a significant impact.

If you work in the waste management field or are simply interested in learning more about this issue, let me know down in the comments, and I will do my best to answer any questions.
Replace the display with a 640x480 marix of dome LEDs and you'd get a nice amber back. DPI might be a bit poor.

It’s interesting to me that the standard “dystopian future” game often has amber monitors and not green or color.
The quotes in that instance are--at least to me--indicating that it is NOT an exact quote, but is instead a metaphorical usage of a term.

https://www.macmillandictionaryblog.com/the-emphatic-use-of-...

> Quotation marks can also highlight that a word is being used somehow peculiarly – a writer may wish to indicate irony, inaccuracy, or scepticism, for example; used this way, they’re called scare quotes.

A lot of people use them merely to offset metaphors... though this usage is often discouraged (much to my chagrin, as I do it often ;P) because your audience can usually be expected to figure it out themselves and it is almost infantilizing to offset them constantly (though, in my experience a lot of people don't know idioms or usage and so it can be helpful).

In this case, I believe the idea is that if you tell a bunch of people that public companies like Meta don't give a shit about you, and that you should never feel bad about going back on something you agreed to, it effectively "punishes" other more reasonable--maybe even privately-held--companies... but it isn't actually a punishment (of course) so you use quotation marks to add distance.

(That said, I don't personally think you should ever have to feel bad about suddenly disappearing or deciding you don't want to do the thing you thought you could do: working should be consensual, and it is almost never the case that someone is absolutely screwed if you don't take the job; and in the cases where they would be you probably know and it is almost certainly an extremely short-term problem that you can negotiate how to handle. I am just responding not to the idea but to defend the usage of quotation marks.)
Again... you can't copyright or patent rules of a game. I understand the OGL exists as a sort of off-hand agreement, but I am concerned as to why we all have decided that a "game system" is somehow a different, copyrightable thing, when it is essentially a fancy way of saying "rules of a game."

I'm honestly confused by the entire situation. I remain confused as to why any Hasbro suit regarding this would not just get thrown out by a court. It seems very obvious to me that the D20 system isn't controllable, and that referencing D&D books for more details is clearly fair use.
If Paizo wholly owns the IP (PF1E: No, SF: Maybe, PF2E: Probably), then they can move to a competing license like CC-BY-SA. That would solve the "cannot distribute their own products" problem, but it would mean their entire ecosystem including third parties would need to propagate that change.

It also doesn't change the fact that Wizards could argue they have an OGL v1.0a+ license, and use OGL v1.1 to put pathfinder 1e srd on their new vtt without paying paizo for example

Find a distraction that has a shorter time to get done, and say/think to yourself "after this thing I'll add something to the document", and then if you're not sure how to continue from your current point, try to write the section headings or subheadings for an upcoming section. You can do a lot out of order and fill in the spaces as the inspiration pops up.

I usually do a youtube video, go for a walk, or eat for the distraction, and then make some kind of attempt at progress, even if it's just formatting stuff. Setting up all the sections and page numbers and whatever else at the start helps me too, bc I think it's just annoying to try and highlight things to change after writing.

My order is usually: Set up Title/headings/subheadings, font/size/style settings, rough draft of intro for each section, notes/major points for each section, fix any format issues that affect the entire document or an entire section and will not be reinstated by adding more content, flesh out the content in each section (and do not mess with format during this bc as you add more content it will change again anyway), grammar/writing style edit, final format edit.
I assume you looked into it, and I am misunderstanding your requirements, but if not, xterm is a very good vt220 emulator, usually better than other terminal emulators. We used the program "socat" to make a pty connected to a network socket. then you can hook xterm to the pty.
My personal favorite for small projects is invoke: https://www.pyinvoke.org/. I prefer it with python because it is just another lean dependency I can directly install along with other dependencies. Works pretty well unless you wanna chain and run long shell commands.

I may be misunderstanding but aren’t monochrome OLED panels (which are available in various colors) comprised of single-color pixels? If so it seems like they’d be the closest possible analogue.
I wouldn’t sweat it too much unless he is struggling in school or showing a lack of interest in his studies. The value of a degree in any of the sciences translates easily to many careers.
Sounds like a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.
Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I kinda glossed over that, but that’s part of the poor conditions I mentioned.

You will certainly feel helplessness from time to time. Some people cope worse than others… I could see myself going that route under different conditions.
A corporation is like a computer program. It has a purpose (making loads of money), and a methodology to follow to do so. If a computer program wiped your harddrive, fried your CPU, and burnt your house down, you wouldn't swear a vendetta against the software, you'd hold the person who wrote it to account. Likewise, corporations are automatons. If a corporation does evil, it's because its leadership is evil.

As automatons, corporations cannot have morals, because they simply follow their programming. You, a flesh and blood human, should feel no obligation to a corporation for any actions they take, for the same reason you don't write letters to a bollard thanking it for stopping a car that might have hit you.
> Normally, you can automate the most fragile or tedious parts of a workflow with little effort and keep doing everything else manually. Also, sometimes you don't even need automation, you just need a checklist.

That’s what the post’s approach gives you: a checklist you run in order, with some steps automated.
No, I am not projecting. I went to good schools and had positive experiences in school. It's still an arbiter of competence. Its still failed to hold up even a vestigial "ideal".

And no, the stats say that tradespeople are massively underpaid on avg compared to BS holders. Ofc, no one believes this here since HNs demographics are highly clustered in the bay area where trades people basically just tell you how hard you're going to bend over for them...
You should be careful here and make things more objective. If you are looking at rational cues e.g. "socializing and good grades" and concluding that he needs a change, we can also say that you are being irrational wrt the social-norms bell curve.

A lot of mental coding goes on inside the mind first, and some people have an inner coding voice / logical internal monologue.

In such a case he's definitely coding all the time. So social life might even be therapeutic in quieting the inner monologue, so to speak. And that's just one example...

Good luck and always a good idea to let him know you are available to listen whenever.
I am a sophomore right now. I know multiple students who have no interest in Computer Science outside of the classes and are still majoring in it.

I don't think this is a bad thing at all. To each their own.

Is there anything wrong if he wants to stick with it for now? As long as he knows that he can always switch majors if he wants to, there is nothing wrong with preferring to socialise over tinkering outside class. You can't force it, until it clicks.

Hmm, I wonder how long we’ll have to wait for some dead people to come along and make the obvious counter argument.

Mortality rates among teens and children have generally been going down as far as I know (putting aside any pandemic related skews).
The social norms of HN create an environment where you can endorse or advocate for atrocities as long as you do it in a certain detached, academic-lite tone. Things like eugenics, sweatshop labor, colonialism, retributive actions towards homeless people, are all things I've seen argued for and upvoted on this site in the last six months.

Being upset by these things, or admitting a personal stake in not seeing them continue or come to pass in the world, is seen as the moral transgression instead.

This could arguably be a valuable norm in a place specifically set aside for people to practice opposing each other's positions, like a debate club, say. But that's not the purpose here, and routinely acting in this way, maintaining this environment as a value distances us from our humanity and that of other people.
> It's their subjective opinions of you (marked with grades) that literally decide if you eat lobster thermidor or if you eat raman through your life.

I don’t think so? Maybe in some rare edge cases. If you were born to a rich family even with midling grades you will remain rich. If you were born to a poor family even with excelent grades you likely won’t raise above middle class, and that if you are lucky. If you were born into a middle class family and you are lucky enough to avoid catastrophies you will likely stay okay, but not lobster termidor every day rich.

Honestly it is much more likely that if they give you great grades and put the idea into your head that you should be a poet or a philosopher or similar that they send you down the ramen path.

I don’t know where you got this notion.

...themselves? I'm not sure what you're asking here.
College is the best time in his life to socialize and build relationships that last a lifetime. Let him do his thing. If his grades are fine why are you worried?

For a fresh out of college grad new hire/interview they're going to care much more about grades and school prestige than hobbies or side projects. At least for the major FAANG companies. Something like "deans list BS computer science from Berkeley" or "masters in CS with specialization in AI/machine learning from Stanford" on the resume is going to matter much more for easily getting hired in today's market than "I.. uhh.. like to tinker in my spare time".
But that's not how the existing license works, so who cares about any new GPL license? Unless you explicitly said "I want my work under the GPL or whatever crazy new version of the GPL ever exists", with the extra detail that the GPL is designed by a business competitor who is jealous of your success.

It'd be crazy.
Someone linked a very long winded article about how compute hardware as powerful as the human brain will cost 1 cent in 25 years...

Come on...

Also from a planar perspective we hit the end of the road for silicon transistors. All new designs must be three dimensional to increase density and a millennia of Moore's law would imply that somehow your computational resources grow faster than the speed of light. I mean you physically cannot travel fast enough to acquire interstellar resources for usage in computation when you are doubling every two years. You are talking about millions of galaxies filled with data centers by the end of the millenia, maybe the entire universe, I haven't checked the numbers.

All I know is that even 3% growth over 2000 years gives illogical results like colonizing a dozen milky ways.

> Sure, but that's just an estoppel argument, which is exactly the kind of "common sense" thing I'm talking about. You don't get to walk around for two decades with one understanding of a license and then suddenly decide it means something different.

Why? If you convince judge, world is your oyster.

Invoking scripts with a language env and arguments both stand out to me.

Both are possible in make, but are extremely non-obvious and come with a bunch of caveats and require some heady code blobs at the beginning of the file.
3-6 story midrises with multiple staircases are all over the place in the USA, but many of them are on larger lots than seem to be being discussed here for Canada.

For smaller-footprint (multiple buildings per city block), stairwells in opposite corners seems to be the most common pattern. About six to ten units per floor in a rectangle.
I did say “may.” Usually what happens is the buyer sues and files lis pendens on the property. The seller then no longer has a clean title, and must complete the litigation in order to sell their property to someone else (months pass in this process). The seller usually wants to sell their house more than fight to keep the money of a recalcitrant buyer, and thus returns the downpayment to the buyer in full.

New building regulations, Part O, which came into effect in June last year, set out rules on overheating. Those regs impact the minimum amount of insulation required in new homes while ensuring they're designed to prevent overheating in summer.

Keep in mind that prior to that, Part L stipulated that loft insulation had to be at least 270mm thick. That's specifically for mineral wool and similar roll style insulation which is the most common option. PIR on the other hand wouldn't have to be as thick to meet the same performance criteria.

British had a plan to assassinate Hitler during his routine walks through a certain garden. They supposedly realized Hitler's death was more likely to prolong the war. Because while Hitler may have been charismatic he was a mediocre, even bad, commander by that point in the war.

I wonder if there'd be a market for amber LCD panels these days - the aesthetics of the past with the manufacturing ease, durability and technology of the present.

Heck maybe you can put it on-board as a color option in the OSD. (yes I know this is all possible with software like xrandr and redshift, thanks - having it done on the display side might give different results)

I wanted to make a permanent wake-from-sleep capacitive touch button for a PC that doesn't always have a keyboard attached. I tried to use the Tomu for that. Unfortunately, I never was able to wrangle its built-in USB functionality to stay awake when the PC slept.

They're not that hard to pull out. I did find it hard to find good examples for how to program the micro's capabilities, however.
Lot of assumptions here:

1) "High" IQ is necessary to make semi-conductors? Why, because of low tolerances? In that case it just needs people who are really careful.

2) IQ is universal. This is not the case - a 100 IQ is set to be the middle of the curve - so a 100 IQ today would be a 120 IQ 30 years ago. (Flynn effect)

3) IQ is static. This is also not the case. Anyone can improve their IQ. If you really want a high IQ, practice taking IQ tests. An Air Force officer managed to get his IQ up to 185 because it was his job to administer IQ tests. Education has also been shown to increase IQ.

4) IQ is a useful metric. There is some evidence to suggest that it relates to improved academic performance, but a lot of the early science was based on bad data.
I think this is a perception issue on your part. You’ve got what appears to be a misguided idea of what a “correct” programmer is.

There’s a ton of programmers that don’t tinker on their own time. Especially in university. Socializing and being a healthy, well-rounded human is probably a more valuable use of his time.
I’m a college CS teacher. I would say if he were not doing well in his classes, then it might be a red flag. If it’s not an academic interest, a talent, nor a hobby, then it’s not a good fit. But since he is doing well, let him be, unless you talk to him and find out he’s doing it for the wrong reasons.
Software development is just one discipline in CS. This is probably an indication that he doesn’t enjoy writing software, which is fine. What does he like in CS? Which courses did he enjoy? Maybe he can get an internship, take courses, or go to grad school, to develop that interest.
