I went back to the office recently for a day, and got literally nothing done.

Pretty much all my coworkers also reckon they are much less productive in the office.
Your contactless credit card uses RFID; I sure hope it would use encryption :)
Absolutely. I've asked this in the past a little differently: "which one do you want me to prioritize first?", only to be left with "both", or "all of them are top priority", effectively wiping their hands clean of the situation, meaning I'd be the one at fault if I couldn't deliver.
I enjoyed the dialogue posted at the bottom, and made an Ace Attorney version of it (with very minor artistic liberties taken): https://objection.lol/objection/5277436
I viewed those questions as a play on the Ship of Theseus.

If the ship is completely destroyed and a perfect replica rebuilt elsewhere, is it the same ship? Almost certainly not.

If the ship is slowly replaced over time, is it the same ship? As a matter of form or psychological continuity as posited in the question, almost certainly.

Most of the server chips I've seen coming down the pipe (Tenstorrent, Ventana, Rivos) are all relatively standard OoO cores. The XuanTie c910 in the Alibaba chips are simpler, but OoO cores as well.

This has been the default (pun intended) on Apple OSes for a long time. At the end of the day, the developer has the ability to create/destroy files at will.
> I don't use a password manager.

Seems like you do, in the form of a hints file. You even protect it with a password. You’re using a bespoke solution, sure, but you’re still using something to manage your passwords. You could do all that trickery with an off-the-shelf password manager.
Dubbing YouTube Videos
YouTube wants to make it easier to dub videos in other languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi) by giving you some help with AI.
The author clearly has a bias towards categorizing people as Essentialist or Non-Essentialist.

Exactly how in this context do those terms make sense ?
You've broken HN's rules badly in this argument, and you've done it repeatedly elsewhere. We end up having to ban accounts that do this, so please stick to the rules from now on.

If someone else is wrong or you feel they are, the good options include (1) post correct information substantively, so the rest of us can learn (this is very different from calling names and attacking personally, as you and others did in this thread); (2) downvote and/or (if the comment breaks the site guidelines) flag the post; (3) chalk it up to the internet being wrong and simply move on.
For sure! Mixing in person and remote seems to me a recipe for inefficiency. I'd say the same to distributed teams (where an immediate team is split across locations). This seems to drastically impact performance of the team.
This. It let my code/architecture fly through a PCI audit as if I had done 100 before.
In complex prod systems, logging and traceability are generally more important than memory consumption and disk space. Memory and Disk are cheaper than a lawsuit if something goes awry
The Federation is mostly treating it as an active threat from a hostile entity.
Thank you, that's exactly what I was confused by as well.
Internationally they are mostly known as Franco-Belgian comics as far as I know. When people speak of specifically Belgian comics I tend to think more along the lines of Flemish Willy Vandersteen (Suske & Wiske).
> I think that the power has decentralized. Successful people on Twitter basically can fulfill a lot of that same role. You can follow Tim O'Reilly and Robert Scoble and Tim Lee and you can get a pretty good summary of what's happening around the universe.

This part was confusing, because it seemed like he was immediate contradicting himself: decentralizing by moving to platforms? Twitter and Reddit centralized power in online media, pulling content from the edges onto their platforms, and keeping people there. People abandoned their own websites and blogs because everyone just went to Twitter anyway. People abandoned their forums because people just went to Reddit. And the idea that Twitter and Reddit were decentralized in the sense that influencers had real power within those platforms was always naive, and of course has been put to the test and proven false many times since then (cf. people being banned on Twitter, or the current tempest involving moderators on Reddit). Maybe I misunderstood!
Not much help for Android, but I love Apple Arcade. Great selection now, and no freemium nonsense.

I also believe there will be another drop when the apps actually are shut down. Now people are loggin in to get the last details without much hassle. I did this myself, it’s muscle memory to open Apollo and browse it, even with some subreddits closed. When the app are down… there will be the another spike, which Reddit has to overcome. At that moment I will most probably also shut down.
It doesn't matter if you think it's necessary though. They use the fields hence it's a harder problem that most people make it out to be.
I suspect this is an area that is part of the essential complexity [1] of programming. Reachability, variable liveness, pointer aliasing, etc. are undecidable problems for arbitrary programs. Also, the control flow graph of most non-trivial programs is probably too complex to visualize in a usable way.

However, there is still a lot of room for improvement in compilers and debuggers. If I could tell the compiler to instrument my code to track the values that I care about, and then have the debugger visualize the flow of information through the system, that would be very useful. It wouldn't guarantee that the data flow analysis applies to subsequent runs of the program, but it could reduce the amount of time spent reading and debugging code.

The Palm Pilot and its clones, e.g. the Spring Visor (i think it was called). i read my first e-book on one around 2000 or 2002 (Alice in Wonderland) and have fond memories of them.
Under "memory reductionism" as you describe, wouldn't the correct choice be to take the teleporter that preserves memories?
We replace the cells in our body every few months, correct? The gradual replacement is key to the continuity. I'd be ok replacing every one of my neurons one at a time but not to upload my brain to a computer and then kill myself. To an outside observer the result may be the same, but not something I'd be comfortable with. I know my consciousness is an illusion and I probably "die" every time I go into deep sleep but the key is to uphold the illusion, otherwise why go on?
You don't know how the restaurant business works, for one thing. For another, acting like an asshole to waitstaff just makes you look like an asshole, and gratifying yourself in public over your supposedly principled stand in acting like an asshole doubly so.

QR code links to menus are bad, sure. I'd still rather eat at ten places that have those than one place that has you.
Well, absent some very serious events, your 'fuck you' money will be there independently of what everybody else thinks.

But the 'fuck you' monopolistic behavior will work only up to the point where you annoy enough people. It is an extremely non-linear thing, and nobody never has any idea of how much further you can go, or even how long you can keep it the same.
Yeah the soul question seemed unfair, in the sense that I answered the first two with the assumption there is no soul, but the third question asks to assume a soul exists, so there's no way to answer it and stay consistent with my previous two answers
To understand how ancient this is, the Worshipful Company of Carmen's history began in 1272.

For US audiences, this operated as something like the DMV, hundreds of years before anyone had thought of such a thing. Over time obviously, these functions were taken over by a national government agency, but as the Worshipful Company of Carmen had had hundreds of years of history until that point, the traditions were kept in ceremonial form.
That completely ignores the fact that most cars have multiple owners. If the average time to keep a car is 6 years, and the average car has at least 2 owners, that means it needs to last 12 years. But of course the carmaker doesn't have much of an incentive to car about people who buy it used. Maybe that needs to change somehow. Maybe some kind of requirement for much longer warranties?
Is this an actual quote? Interested regardless of the topic of this comment thread.

Couldn't find any source online except for this comment. Might be because of tranalation though.
The main culprits are programs that were written before the standard existed in addition to many people that just don't know about it.

Who should enforce this standard? I would say community pressure does it pretty well at the moment. A standard does not need to be enforced and the XDG base directory one is still useful. The more awareness exists and the more people want this and think it is useful the better. It also has the advantage that no other competing standard exists as far as I know but it still has some downsides.
I think there is a gap here between those who routinely (exclusively?) used UNIX machines along with 50, 100, 1000 other people all logged in at once (generally pre-Linux era) and those who only ever got to see and enjoy a time when everyone could have a UNIX workstation on their desktop (Linux, Mac, or other x86 flavour, take your pick).
> People are not getting as much done, low performers are harder to manage (hide easier), most importantly people don’t build the same quality relationships they used to.

None of these problems were ever dealt with in all the WFO settings I was ever in, so this seems like little more than scapegoating WFH for all the sicknesses that afflict large organizations. I’m currently working on a remote team that’s a collaboration across a few different orgs, one of whom is primarily WFO, and we have the highest rate of execution across all our parent organizations.

The reality of every place I’ve ever worked is that product and project management are really bad across the board, far worse than your so called low-performers. But the top of the hierarchy rarely disciplines itself when it can just let shit roll down hill, which is why we end up with the fairy tales about how the lack of water-cooler chat is preventing the otherwise guaranteed success.
It's not Tech Tangent I think. In the article he writes "some of the disk images [Tech Tangents] found at the HP Computer Museum" which implies to me that they're different people working on similar machines. Also Tech Tangent's name is Shelby, and this author is going by Robin Kearey, who seams to be a real person.
Could be more convincing if the https://www.philosophyexperiments.com/Contact.aspx did not return a Runtime Error.
> Yes, they have to.

Nope. They chose to.

Do some incentives encourage them in this direction? Sure. That's different than them "having to". Actual people are doing this, and they actually made choices toward maximum exploitation of human weakness. They are morally responsible for those choices.

I agree that people should leave those platforms and move to open solutions. That would be some good choice-making. But that possibility doesn't diminish the responsibility of the monetizers for their choices.
Formed in Carboniferous/Permian limestone: also known as 47 million to 358 million years. Okay, this certainly wasn't in it's present state 20 million years ago. However my point is it is a very old and slow growing structure. Obviously a Doline is evidence of instability at one point in time. But when a structure exists for millions of years. Let me do the math here: 2 Dolines over 20 million years, screw it, I don't have to do the math. I'm comfortable walking through that structure.
I also tried to get around prereqs in college (for EE rather than CS) and I was told by the professor that "It would not be good for the university." I believe my university had previously been in trouble with ABET, the accrediting organization, perhaps for the very issue of being too lenient with prerequisites. Apparently ABET wasn't invented to give people opportunities to learn, but to control who has those opportunities based on arbitrary criteria (like GPA).
Also let's not assume everyone in HN necessarily has money and comes from a wealthy country, in my country $22 is quite a bit to consider spending on a book, some developers earn well but others do not, or might not have a software job yet, if you are a student for example that might be 1/2 or 1/3 of your monthly budget.
You broke the site guidelines badly in this thread. If someone else is wrong or you feel they are, it's enough to substantively show how what they are saying is wrong. Adding name-calling and personal attack just poisons the thread, evokes worse from others, and discredits your own argument. If you happen to be right, that's particularly bad because then you end up discrediting the truth, which hurts everyone (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...).

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.
Nothing new here. We all perfectly know that without extremely performant RISC-V implementations (open source or close source), that on the latest silicon node process, its success will be somewhat limited, even if it means modern ISA standard for all and that worldwide royalty free.
I agree. If you don't totally own your password manager, you are at the mercy of the company that does.

I use password store (pass command-line utility) at its core it's GPG encrypted files in a local git repo, with a convenient command-line utility to manage them. It's cloud-free, runs on my local machine. If you need to sync, you can use git push/pull to do that.

I don't use it from mobile as I do very little on my phone that requires a password, but if you need that there are options:

Their decentralized features can probably work fine, as long as the shareholders never call in the bill.

Ok everyone settle down, it wasn't that funny.
I don’t believe anything the western media says, so many obvious lies that when they could be telling the truth you have to wonder at the very least how much is a lie and no I’m not saying the Russians and the rest don’t lie to, but i do have higher expectations of our media than others and I don’t think I’m alone in that expectation.
>This makes no sense: manufacturers are competing with each other, if the prices on the cheapest phones will increase more then surely someone will exploit that.

You assume it costs nothing to maintain software for old phones.
And generally users of the web want things to be free / don't want to pay directly for these utilities.

I feel like we as internet users are a big part of the math here.
I tried but warden for a bit and found it to be quite janky. Not good UX over all.
I used to think this at well, but then I removed all of the useless apps I'd gathered over the years. The improvements were almost instant. Installing apps doesn't have a noticeable impact on general system performance, but install enough of them and you'll find everything mote sluggish than you remember.

My phone feels as fast as the day I bought it, which so far must've been about four years ago now. It came out with Android 9 and is currently running Android 13 through a custom ROM.

Newer devices certainly feel snappier, but the old phone works as well as it ever did, except for the battery carrying almost half of its original capacity. I still have my OnePlus One and I can't say it feels like the phone is slower than when I bought it.

I think the slowness is caused more by the change in perception thsnt be degradation of hardware and the ever growing software bloat. Modern phones software comes with fluid, high resolution, high speed animations and transitions everywhere that don't work well on older devices. Once you turn those off, you'll quickly find that many older devices will work just as well with modern software as they did with their older software.

Bargain bin devices that come out with specs that can't even run the factory firmware are the exception, of course. However, that segment seems to have shrunk significantly since I last looked into buying a phone.
Extracting information from data [that you assume contains redundancy] is _precisely_ what compression is.
I don’t, no. I knew the future before the deal was closed. So did most of my friends and former colleagues (who quit at the first sign on the dead hand reaching out into their business units).
That's the Windows 95 HIG. I don't know how relevant it would be to current Windows. Microsoft themselves don't seem to care much for it.
Who still has a printer? Maybe they could fax you one instead?
I think the op is right.

Try to sell mobile games to "console/pc gamers", you just don't sell them, different market.

From a personal perspective, all my friends who play videogames avoid mobile like plague.

> The MFA reset shouldn't be related to the increase in hash rounds, those are unrelated. So they must suspect the MFA seeds were also stolen, but aren't saying it, right?

They were stolen but weren't very clear about it.

From their summary of their latest security incident[1] it says attackers stole:

> Backup of LastPass MFA/Federation Database – contained copies of LastPass Authenticator seeds, telephone numbers used for the MFA backup option (if enabled), as well as a split knowledge component (the K2 “key”) used for LastPass federation (if enabled). This database was encrypted, but the separately-stored decryption key was included in the secrets stolen by the threat actor during the second incident.

This summary links to a page[2] with more information, but actually on this page they give less information, saying only:

> [Customer Secrets accessed includes] Multifactor Authentication (MFA) seeds - MFA seeds assigned to the user when they first registered their multifactor authenticator of choice to authenticate to the LastPass vault.

Nielsen/Norman. No other resource quoted here comes even close to distilling important first principles and citing research to back it up.

While I like the Meddle and Roger Waters eras I love the later Gilmour period. I have listened to the Division Bell hundreds of times if not more and it is still interesting and I’m discovering new things that just feel right about it. It resonates with my body and mind in ways that no other music. Each to their own.
In rural areas, you may not be able to get or keep a POTS / hardline. There's NOAA weather radio towers that are offline (for months now) because AT&T no longer wants to provide any digital service to them.

Soon, when SIP on customer provided bandwidth has become the norm, AT&T will have finally realized its original dream: being paid for the service of billing people, with no further obligations to do anything in return.
The author seems to believe that speed is the only competitive factor. The fact is that many services don't need but a fraction of the speed they have available to them and that power consumption is, in some areas, the more important competitive distinction. RISC-V will beat out Intel on power consumption out of the gate, even if they never compete in terms of raw speed.
It's a 70% failure rate, not success rate.
It operates at a close distance to the reader and can collect more energy to run its electronics.
In other words, the market is completely saturated, thus the necessity of such tests.

Man, you would love functional programming. I'm' not even joking.
FTA: CEO position
I am fairly sure that I have read (probably in a 1950:s edition of the Swedish navy soldier’s handbook "Örlogsboken"), that "tap morse", for example for communication with persons trapped inside a damaged ship, is done by tapping once for a dit, and twice in rapid succession for a "dah".
I cant speak to mobile personally as it is not a use-case for me but as far as conflicts SyncThing works great.

I have been running it for a little over a year now across three primary devices and the server and I don’t think I’ve seen more than a handful of conflicts. Don’t remember a single one with my obsidian directory which is currently ~500 files (markdown/pdf etc).

It depends. It's not that uncommon for remote-only companies to offer location-agnostic compensation with tech hub city comp being used as the baseline.
How is speculative execution inherently insecure?
That's a bit too cynic. It's a good rule of thumb, but people shouldn't take it as 100% true.

I personally have left academia, mostly for personal reasons before I could really know for certain whether I would have made it or not, and I know some very competent people who stayed and managed to get good positions without having to compromise who they are.

I think the problems start when you're competent but not competent enough, and your ambitions don't align with how competent you are. That may sound harsh, but I think it's true (with admittedly some variance depending on the exact field you're in).
My friend, I'm from Ukraine myself (Berdychiv) with roots in both countries, and I can tell you your comment doesn't make sense. I inherited apartment in Kiev which I was hoping to use for retirement, but I won't be able to go there because of somebody decided to claim their rights on the country.

My pacifist nature wanted to leave in peace, and now I don't know who to blame: east, west, Putin, Zelensky, US, Russia. My family has been affected, and you're telling me my comment doesn't make sense...

My comment makes sense, because now I personally can understand what happened to those millions civilians in the Middle East.

I hope you understand that I am not asking you to _change_ your point of view, and I do not insist that my comment is correct, and your comment doesn't make any sense. All I recommend is to think critically, try to understand one small little person online, real one, regardless of what western/eastern propaganda says, regardless of what you read in mainstream media.

I am American myself (naturalized), but if you're American thinking you need to help somebody - I don't need your ambitions, because it's me paying for that, not you.

Auto wipers have two applications: for when you suddenly get water on the windshield, for example a splash from a puddle caused by another car, and for speed attenuation during a rain. Some people can panic when the visibility from the car suddenly goes to zero and might not be able to manually turn on wipers quickly, while still driving without seeing anything in front. The attenuation keeps driver from playing with the wiper speed control in an intermittent rain, thus not getting more distracted from driving.
