Indeed, in the English-speaking world there are two main systems of academic ranks: the North American system (primarily US and Canada) and the traditional British system (most of the rest of it). This article is discussing the first system without acknowledging the second, or the differences between the two.
I'm a battle-scarred Windows developer (more by chance than by choice, mind you) and even I find Powershell exceptionally annoying.

The commands are verbose and the syntax is non-standard in a way that, quite frankly, is unnecessarily and exceptionally annoying.

But the worst thing is some super confusing aspect of how scopes for variables etc work.. which I've somehow forgotten already because the last few times I needed to write something in PS I straight-up got ChatGPT to do the legwork.

But it does not pollute the sky. I don't think my issue about people hating Elon! That's more than fine. It's just that he is polarizing, so it seems like misconceptions and immaculate info about stuff he is involved in are believed very fast and spread very wide. In this case I don't think starlink satellites ever caused long term light/space population and even first gen sats (that didn't get any "cloaking" to avoid reflecting light) aren't visible after they reached their long term orbit.

Even for space debris, I've not seen any credible source that argues the satellites won't easily re enter the atmosphere when they reach their end lives. Leaving little space junk behind.

Fwiw for the most part, i don't really care about the cool stuff Elon gets to put his "brand name on" I just find starlink super neat! Especially since they actually managed to get the inter satellite laser "fabric" working well which which is a concept that I find extremely neat. That's probably the extent of my biais.
That's up for debate.

They have yet to prove it profitable/viable/useful, and 100,000 companies are working on eating their lunch. Others are walling off their data (e.g. reddit).

It'll be interesting, at least.

I have spent a little time each year over decades planning a library. The first draft planned a shipping container full of rack-mounted equipment, and several more shipping containers full of the equipment to power the library. That version never got built.

My current iteration uses a bunch of 18 TB HDDs in a HP Z-series workstation.

If I had the money to actually deploy prototypes outside my home, I would switch to much more power efficient SATA SSDs, a Raspberry Pi, some kind of hat that connects many SATA drives, and a low-power Wi-Fi router that connects many users at once.

Over the years I learned that:
* The US Library of Congress (LOC) cataloging system is the best way to index information, but...
* Databases are temporary. Files on disk are much more permanent. You will change databases several times while leaving the same files on disk.

LLMs will change my design, as will StarLink and other satellite-based Internet Service Providers (ISPs)

>> All jobs provide purpose

As some dude said: that's just, like, your opinion.
You should get out more and meet people from different venues of life.

Try telling this banality to my brother who used to be reposesion man and see what will happen. He has to go to therapy regullarly to get nightmares out of his head after years of literally taking money and stuff from crying people.

No, some jobs are economically viable and current system likes them - its really convenient for everyones conscience to outsource debt handling to some specialized thug like characters. But saing that all people can find purpose in them - that's too much.
>What now?

for starters adopt a Canadian style banking model. The country largely runs on 5 very tightly regulated banks that haven't gone bankrupt in a hundred years. These regional banks fall over in every little crisis and they always end up being bailed out anyway (see SV bank), so you might as well consolidate the sector for good.

Sam Altman himself failed with his original startup (Loopt), then got hired into YCombinator. He's basically made it through leveraging his connections (OpenAI was a later investment with a number of other established players).

So really the advice is, be born into the right family, or at least get into to the right university, join the Good Old Boys network, and fail upwards. The old "two dropouts in a garage" idea of a startup immortalized by Steves Jobs and Wozniak is very much a romanticized 20th century phenomenon. Nowadays it's more like the old East Coast financial world of clubs and school ties, albeit with a different uniform of jeans and hoodies.

CGNAT has multiple users share a single IP address which means that there needs to be some logic to know which user an incoming packet should go to which is why they are normally not publicly addressable. Not all ISPs use CGNAT though.

>just that they should've used a publically addressable architecture in the first place?

I would be okay if there was a way to get assigned a dedicated, though not necessarily a static one, IP address that was not at a massive margin.

> My biggest confusion when shopping for butter in the US was trying to find one without added "butter aroma". If I’m already buying butter, why does it need flavourings of the very thing it’s made of?

The USDA regulates the appearance and flavor of butter. They employ a bunch of professional butter tasters for this purpose. Perhaps something similar is going on with the smell.

I was pretty shocked when I looked up the standards for butter grading and learned that they don't serve any safety-related purpose. How do I conceivably derive any benefit from a label that says "in the opinion of the United States government, this butter is more visually appealing than other similar butters"?
Access to high-quality internet resources is absolutely a luxury. You can pick and choose what resources you want, it's not TV.

It's like saying that access to a well-stocked university library is not a privilege because most pop books that get published are crap. It's not even the same category of "book".

Negatives of the internet do exist but you're overstating your case. This is about getting basic resources to people who couldn't otherwise access them, I don't see how it can possibly be net negative.
I'd add .xyz to that list.
Well yeah, didn't mean to imply there to be a secret cult of Framework (though if there was one I'd happily join it). More that it bodes well to see companies like Cooler Master giving Framework the time of day when it comes to these sorts of business deals.

So, I guess it would become a tricky thing for Starlink if there are a high number of customers around the same location and network congestion becomes a real issue similar to mobile data networks.

Wealth is measured by how much material objects and services you can buy, not by the actual numbers in your bank account. If you literally added a zero to everyone's bank account overnight, what would happen? There'd be some turmoil, but essentially pretty quickly a zero would be added to every price in every store, and we'd be exactly back to square 1.

When the government suspended student loan payments (and started paying extra time for staying home, and other pandemic benefits), it indirectly put cash in the hands of people who were used to living month-to-month. No doubt some were fiscally responsible and put the money in stocks, which made the stock market have a crazy big rally, but that's a different story. Most just went out and bought things they might not have bought otherwise, or which they had been waiting/saving for. But the supply of things didn't increase--in fact if anything the supply went down because of part shortages. What happens when demand goes up and supply goes down? Prices skyrocket. And this is measured as increased consumer prices (aka inflation).

Now the supply shortage has been mostly worked out, but prices remain high. They are sticky--that's the actual, technical term. A demand shock is required to unstick prices, a core part of getting inflation under control. Suddenly reducing the available monthly budget of those same people who were driving inflation in the first place would do that. So resume student loan payments.

There's no way it'll happen before the next presidential election, however.
Ask HN: How is Starlink kept secure?
I just saw the map of spacex’s thousands of satellites in orbit and it got me wondering how they can keep them from being hacked.

If you have a web server you can do lots of things to help - blocking or whitelisting IPs. Rate limiting password attempts. 2FA etc, but also you can have physical access if things really go wrong.

How are these remote systems kept secure? How do you prevent someone just constantly brute forcing the password? Or doing a denial of service attack on them?

Presumably someone (Russia) has tried this given the use of Starlink in Ukraine.

Just very curious how this task is approached.
What to know about Bluesky, as Dril and AOC join the new Twitter alternative
Context for title, from the Background section of the paper:

One well-known example of this is The Ten Thousands Bowls of Oatmeal Problem, a term coined by Kate Compton and now one of the best-known idioms among procedural generation practitioners. In this analogy, Compton likens procedurally generated content to bowls of oatmeal, and uses this to highlight the meaninglessness of appeals to variety or unpredictability which often accompany sales pitches related to procedural generation. Every bowl of oatmeal is unique, Compton explains, but that does not make them interesting or valuable. Designers use this to understand that procedural generation alone does not guarantee variety or interest, and that systems must be carefully designed to use generative methods as an expressive tool, rather than a solution in and of itself.

I read about an experiment where they had people draw a pencil. However, with each iteration, the next person to draw the pencil had to do it in a new way that was not done before.

The first drawings were regular drawing of a pencil, but as time went on, you'd get pencils with purple lead instead of black lead, then circular pencils, until it just devolved into Jackson Pollock and beyond.

The thing is that you have to try to try to change the character so it isn't a repeat of the week before, so over time, it all morphs out beyond all recognition.

This is exactly what is happening in politics. Each new right and left news person has to go further to the right and left in order to differentiate themselves from the other guys, and it keeps going farther to extremes.
Sometimes I prefer the original vinyl sound compared to the digitally remixed version of the old songs.

But most of my vinyl is of old albums that nobody bothered to re-release on CD. It's fun to buy them cheap at the thrift store, wash them, and see what's on them.

I am planning to get into this whole record player thing just because I can enjoy music and focus on just listening to what I like. These music streaming platforms apply too much dark patterns to trap me into just keep browsing and keep checking new/unknown and mostly shitty music that it is genuinely frustrating.

In fact I had a good deal going - finally had a decent collection of playlists on Spotify and I enjoyed it for few months but then they keep changing their UX and everything else keeps coming in the way - podcasts, some smart shuffle of the library curated by me. One mistake click and there you have unknown god-knows-what songs in your library and you are wondering where the fuck they come from. Then one song you clicked by mistake or forgot to skip or dislike and for next few weeks your entire home screen is filled with shit like that. I mean yes one can say just go to the library and skip the home page and recommendation but you see it every time you open it and distracts and disgusts.

I mean it has just one job - let me listen to the music I want and get out of my way and it keeps putting its foot in the cracks, not on every opportunity, but by manufacturing opportunities. Apple Music has its own downsides. It's just sad.

The most I loved my music experience when I used to listen to using the radio and cassette players. I never got into CDs - it was straight to curated MP3 collection from cassettes. So the hope is vinyls will at least some of that experience and the feeling of my own curated collection. One downside is vinyls are prohibitively expensive and no easy to procure in India.

So no the convenience of streaming services is not really a convenience - it's just we pay to hear and see an ad platform or listen to explicit ads to again experience an ad platform if you don't pay a fee. That is really what the likes of Netflix and Spotify are - ad platforms.
In general, the people writing language features out of fear cause the bulk of the problems.

Js had coped quite well without having private fields. We had conventions of using this._field that served fine, that cautioned users sometbing was internal-ish without binding them, without preventing experimentation.

The private function implementation is more bad language design seeming on an inevitable course to make the language worse & less capable. It's more fear, more adding nothing, more creating friction, like private fields.

That all said, it doesn't seem like proxies ought be broken by private class fields. That's another heap of scorn placed upon this already tragic & harmful misfeature.
The first thing I do whenever I get a new phone (or OS update on an old phone) is enable USB debugging, plug it into my computer, and then click trust this device. It's insurance for the time when the phone screen inevitably dies, because then I can plug it back in and immediately drive it using scrcpy. It's saved me twice so far.

Honestly? They've got to let the damage happen. Were in this mess because every time we got close to a recession the central banks would cut interest rates to keep the economy going, more money would get pumped into the economy and asset prices would keep on rising. We need a recession to kill inflation, destroy unproductive assets and give us room to grow again. The aversion to recession is destroying us.

I'm willing to bet there's a weird trick you can do with some European butter wrapper to rival "land o' lakes" (having seen a 1990 film called "the nasty girl" about German denialism of war guilt which features analogous silliness with banknotes)

Australian butter is great. But I still love beurre d'isigny and lurpak unsalted from time to time.

Pepe Saya is overblown.
So my experience with butter is that it was yanked away from me early in my lifetime. Our family followed all kinds of bogus dietary fads. We had fluoridated water, Dad had hypertension, so we had margarine, and never whole milk, only 2%, and at one point there were even "Egg Beaters" without the yolks; fat, sodium and cholesterol was like dirty bywords among us. Furthermore, Mom was an avowed bad cook, and didn't have the faintest idea how to incorporate seasonings and spices into our meals, which were uniformly bland and unappealing.

Now, the sane advice is that salt and fat are not bad for you, but are essential to life and enjoyment. Of course margarine and all that other artificial, substitute crap turned out to be way more detrimental to us. A good amount of fat (and carbs) causes food to taste good and also be satisfying: you can pound a package full of rice cakes, or a giant salad and not feel full, unless you accompany it with butter or oil.

Julia Childs and French people couldn't be wrong: they consume plenty of rich food and they don't have American health problems. This may be a canard, but it's true that the FDA/USDA doesn't actually advocate for consumer health; just look at the ridiculous "food group" "food pyramid" propaganda they keep sending us.

Today at home I am unapologetically natural, and I love organic food. I use organic whole un-homogenized milk. I use Kerrygold unsalted. I also use Himalayan pink salt, because table salt has no nutritional value (all the nutrition is refined away and sold to supplement companies!)

Conventional wisdom about food is often dead wrong, but if you sift through all the fad diets and bogus medical advice, you can sometimes find nuggets of truth.

> Pattern Density. Players naturally learn to identify patterns in game content over time. This is not exclusive to procedurally generated content; ... procedurally generated content is more susceptible to pattern identification in this way. Generated content might be described as ‘repetitive’ if it is too easy to notice patterns.

Not necessarily - just feed in a stream of pseudorandom data?

Even a 32 bit seed space can generate more environments than a player could ever explore, each with arbitrary levels of detail.

The data stream may be lacking in true complexity, but (done right) it would be indistinguishable from the player's perspective.

(Or am I missing something?)

The UK is now being ruled by someone from the colonies. Granted, Elagabalus became emperor during a time when the empire was past its peak but before entering real decline. The UK didn't get Sunak until at least its Crisis of the Third Century, if not later - post-Theodosius, after which the Roman Empire was permanently split into East and West. I hope we don't see a Sack of London soon at this rate.

You're thinking of Mastodon. There's no mention of using @ in identities at all in the ActivityPub spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#actor-objects

Usernames can be represented as whatever, but they're not the user IDs.

Peertube implements ActivityPub and uses username@server instead of @username@server, and so does Pixelfed. Funkwhale uses https://hostname.tld/federation/actors/Alice as their ActivityPub identifier (they support multiple federation protocols) and doesn't have a clear representation of user + domain as far as I can tell.
Still way more work than clicking "mark as spam" and not really having to worry about missing an actual check
