I'm open to them not knowing how to do things cross-browser because that's almost an entire specialization, but no one can help them to fix problems if they're not enumerated. And the person best positioned to enumerate such problems are the persons who were in the weeds of the project, viewing the errors or getting frustrated when $foo didn't $bar on Firefox when they tried it
A couple use cases were already listed in other comments:

Sounds like at least in this case that ASIC in the drive was doing some (non trivial) signal processing. Would be interesting to know how hard it would be to get from the flux pattern back to zeros and ones. I guess with a working drive you can at least write as many test patterns as you want until you maybe figure it out.
Venus is just the first stop, duh.
Ask HN: How do you choose a checksum algorithm for serialized datastructures?
I'm building a library that serializes blocks of data to disk in 4MB~ or so increments. What would be a sufficient number of bits to allocate for checksums (ie. CRC32, CRC64, MD5, etc.) on those blocks such that corruption, torn writes, etc. can be found?
I really don't see why they would, if they're using a paywall in the first place.
I maybe wrong, but there's supposedly something similar operating in SF as a bar/nightclub, or is it just a theme of copywriting?
Yup. One of the most complex bug I ever fixed was caused by a race condition. It took me 2 weeks to investigate and fix it. The final result was a couple of lines (like 5).

Well, due process is a right co-equal to free speech, so which rights override which others in which circumstances will come down to legal precedent.

My understanding is that the FBI or other non-judicial body cannot unilaterally issue a gag order. Subpoenas and gag orders related to them are granted by judges.

(Which isn't to say that the relationship between the judicial branch and law enforcement bodies is always pure and equal)
I wikipedia'ed it for the lazy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tina_Turner

> When Bullock was 16, her grandmother died, so she went to live with her mother in St. Louis. She graduated from Sumner High School(1) in 1958.

(1) Sumner High School, also known as Charles H. Sumner High School, is a St. Louis public high school that was the first high school for African-American students west of the Mississippi River in the United States.

When was your dad in high school? Is he African-American? Chances are it could be true.

Edit to add: and if your dad didn't go to this school, maybe she went to another high school before moving to and graduating from this one.
Nice Freudian slip!

Unfortunately the author I feel might need to actually interact with the mentally ill more.

A. With respecting choice, healthcare workers are understanding that they can't help everyone. You can't fix their problems for them but you can aid and assist them with them. This is also just happens to be part of the social work profession itself as I understand it.

B. People aren't their illness. In my limitted experiene knowing people with schizophrenia is that's it's one of the worst and saddest illnesses out there. Fundamently they are aware they can't trust their own brain all the time (without medication and management). We don't do enough societally to protect and help the most vulnerable.

Gag orders do require a court, just not a jury or an open hearing. I agree that they should be unconstitutional.
Hmm, a similar scheme we used at a previous workplace - lots of references to ancient Greek philosophers, historians and of course deities.
While it's true that these standards are X years old, the software that encoded those formats yesteryear is very different from the software that decodes it today. It's a Ship of Theseus problem. They can claim an unbroken lineage since the distant future, the year 2000, but encoders and decoders had defects and opinions that were relied on--both intentionally and unintentionally--that are different from the defects and opinions of today.

I have JPEGs and MP3s from 20 years ago that don't open today.
> But on the other hand, it's tragic that people are so desperate for the small sums to be had from recycling that they spend their days digging through other peoples' trash like that.

Not all of them are destitute. There are collectors who now own homes thanks to bottle and can deposits. My neighbors across the street moved in few years ago and I saw the garage open - front to back, side to side, top to bottom PACKED with bags of bottles and cans. Thousands of them. Spoke to their neighbor and they told him collecting bottles paid for most of the house. Few blocks down there's an apartment building with ground level garages and again, one of them is fully packed with bags of bottles and cans - plans in motion. This is in NYC too.

Imagine how clean the planet would be if all packaging had a deposit.
Thanks! I did find tldp extremely helpful and entertaining to read sometimes.
The USA is a country of laws. It's possible that people submitting packages are submitting illegal malware; spyware, ransomware, software to steal crypto money, or run illegal ticket-buying bots. Ethical oversight is baked into the institutions through governance structures. Institutions aren't perfect. Also there tend to be more complaints in the media about a country's institutions than in regions where there is not a free press. So the voices complaining online don't necessarily correlate with where the problems most lie.
Yes, the ROI is superb.
No, sure, I know, although I think the logistics and the store's staff and premises are the big contributors to the non-manufacturing costs. It just seems insane that Facebook is able to do that. But I guess that's my fault for never being on Facebook. I don't know what the ad situation is these days.
This is giving me some anxiety about my tape backups.

I have backed up my blu-ray collection to a dozen or so LTO-6 tapes, and it's worked great, but I have no idea how long the drives are going to last for, and how easy it will be to repair them either.

Granted, the LTO format is probably one of the more popular formats, but articles like this still keep me up at night.
Banks would need to price the risk of failing to get the loans back. Part of that might be refusing loans, but part of that would be raising the price.

Even the most creditworthy student is more risky to loan to when a bankruptcy would cancel the debt. So even they should get a marginally higher interest rate.
Okay, that’s fair —- thanks for clarifying!

My feeling is that once you start compiling this data in a formal way, you’ve taken a significant step towards the dystopian events you’re describing. I agree that the ability to do a thing is not the same as the thing happening. However, exactly as I try and remove the ability to make manual mistakes from my deployment pipelines, I also think it’s good to restrict the ability to impose dystopian rules.

But that is a really big topic and I am not expecting you to say “oh yeah you’re right” just because I made a dubious analogy. I appreciate that you took the time to clarify.
That's not the cost I mean. Why would union fees drive up the cost of an employee?

An awful lot of archaeology is rooted in Victorian and Edwardian ideas of “primitive man” - and as the core of the literature is what all else is built upon, there is a tendency towards orthodoxy and conservatism in the field. If it doesn’t fit, it’s ritual.

Don’t get me wrong - I’m not talking ancient aliens or whatever - rather that people several thousand years ago are our contemporaries, and are more or less just like us, but for whatever acculturation is going on this century. We vastly underestimate them based on what little survives of them, and due to a paucity of documentary evidence of any value. We talk of iron and bronze ages, when the reality was that it was all the wood age, in which we still largely reside, and yet we define them by the artefacts which most commonly survive.

I've had reflux for 10+ years, and noticed that in the last 2 years, it hasn't really bothered me. I was attributing it to a dietary change (went from mostly vegetarian to vegan), but at the same time, I also started working out with a personal trainer. He loves to have us doing plenty of things with our feet above our head (push-ups with feet up on a bench, burpees, but kicking up on to a bench). My reflux bothered me during workouts at first, especially if we worked out in the afternoon instead of first thing in the morning. But, now I never have reflux issues working out, and rarely have them when sleeping...

Electric kettles are certainly fast, but this feels like an exaggeration. Technology Connections[1] made a good video on this recently and even boiling roughly 1 quart of water (which is significantly less than you'd typically use for something like cooking pasta) required almost 5 minutes to come to boil in an electric kettle.

Computer Fraud and Abuse Act: https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/R46536.pdf

> Broadly speaking, § 1030(a)(5)141 prohibits a variety of acts that result in damage to a computer.
Subsection 1030(a)(5) may be used to prosecute many of the activities that are commonly
associated with hacking, such as the transmission of viruses or worms and unauthorized access by
intruders who delete files or shut off computers.142 The provision may also be used to prosecute
the perpetrators of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks,143 which occur, for example,
when an attacker overwhelms a server’s ability to process legitimate requests by overloading the
server with a flood of illegitimate traffic.1

Kicking your friend offline (via DDOS or other) would prevent it from processing legitimate requests and count as a breach of CFAA.

2015 was a long time ago in terms of SSD technology, but even then the space needed to hibernate 128GB was only $50.

If it's 'typical' to make a workstation that can't spare that space then that's even funnier than if it wasn't typical.

It's interesting that a potentially very large amount of people have the necessary technical skills to set up large botnets. It's mostly teenagers that do it in the Western world since they're both stupidly brave and at the right level of technical knowledge to be able to do the hacking without understanding how much evidence they're leaving behind. Or perhaps they think themselves invincible anyway.

FYI for non US readers ...

In the US, subpoenas come from the Justice Department (either state or federal depending on the crime for which evidence is being sought). The court that issued the subpoena is on it, and the person or entity being served, has the right to see why some government agency felt it could aid in the uncovering of a crime that had already been committed. The person or entity then has the opportunity to challenge that in court prior to complying with it. This is sometimes informally called "quashing the subpoena." From my sister-in-law who is a defense attorney, the most common result of challenging a subpoena is to get what it asks for narrowed down to just what is plausibly responsive.

In the article, this response: As a result we are currently developing new data retention and disclosure policies. These policies will relate to our procedures for future government data requests, how and for what duration we store personally identifiable information such as user access records, and policies that make these explicit for our users and community. Is good practice for limiting what a subpoena can request (you can't give what you don't have).

At Blekko we logged access records in such a way that we could use PII for 48 hours and then it was deleted. The CTO, Greg Lindahl, is a huge privacy advocate and this sort of architecture made it possible to get information to improve our ranking and service without compromising people's privacy. In practice I don't think any agency could go from "we have a suspect" to "issue a subpoena" in 48 hrs so it was a useful way for us to stay out of the crosshairs. The most interesting event was the FBI asking for information on IP addresses that had accessed their honeypot CSAM site. That turned out to be some of the machines in the crawling cluster. Given that the site was outside the crawl "horizon" and didn't rank (very few sites linked to it) it didn't even make it into the cache for rank analysis. But in that case the turn around time was impressive. Of course that is because they were just using their own logs to generate subpoena requests.

Living trees will grow faster and harvested lumber successfully sequesters carbon indefinitely.

I've known a quite few people who dropped out of tech around the dotcom bust and I've not really had a very normal continuous career..

As afar as manual labor and car(?) travel, I would recommend against doing that without a specific trajectory in mind that you've already been working on. For example if you will be transitioning to more of a lifestyle as an owner of coffee shops.

Most people I know who went into the trades and stayed had pretty good advantages compared to ones that were really looking for anything open to an entry level worker.
SFPD had a 6% clearance rate for all property crimes in 2020, with reports that it got lower since [1].

There are a lot of anecdotes, occasionally newsworthy, about SFPD watching theft happen and doing nothing about it [2]. SFPD also appears to have refused to assist the DA in arrests related to theft rings for political reasons [3].

It's noteworthy that SFPD chose to pursue such broad surveillance access for a protest of police violence. Their past record on theft and vandalism is an exceptionally flimsy justification.

I have at various times considered a tape backup solution for my home, but always give up when it seems every tape vendor is only interested in business clients. It was a race to stay ahead of hard drives and oftentimes they seemed to be losing. The price points were clearly aimed at business customers, especially on the larger capacity tapes. In the end I do backup to hard drives instead because it's much cheaper and faster.

Yep, there too not.

Evidence for bike lanes in the US comes from very methodologically suspicious studies (e.g. the Portland State one) that were heavily influenced by hyper-local effects and neglected to look at nearby businesses.

Some of the more honest studies found the opposite effect. E.g. the LA study has shown that the non-sabotaged section had more revenue growth than the road-sabotaged section.

There are also clear cases of bike lanes destroying businesses:
https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2022/dec/26/stringers-46...

I'm an anti-bike activist. Bike lanes work only in _very_ narrow cases:

1. In densified hellscape cities, like Manhattan, where normal traffic is simply impossible.

2. In small tourist destination towns.

3. On university campuses and around them.

And that's pretty much it.
So instead of solving problems, they move the problems somewhere else. That seems like not a good solution? You can't just make the whole world a business improvement district.

> With that in mind, what other lisps are running circles against common-lisp?

Well, I haven't tried any of the Linear Lisps, but as far as I know it's the fastest Lisp. That said, well-written C or Fortran will run circles around it.

> From my experience sbcl common-lisp is about equal to Go and Java which I consider pretty fast languages.

SBCL is amazing, it's really fast (though LW beats it in certain situations), but it's in the same class as Go and Java, which I consider dog slow. Modern computers are really, really, stupendously, ludicrously fast; but many programming languages don't give our computers a chance to really shine, which is a shame.

Basically it's like... an F1 car is really fast as long as you don't compare it to a fighter jet.
