In practice though none of that matters because they'll do a slipshod job of implementing it.
Speaking of the Postgres MVCC bloat problem, I hope one day we'll get an implementation of the storage engine that makes better usage of SSD pages.

The thing is that there is an impedance mismatch between MVCC and the OS disk management. MVCC works by treating data as immutable pages, but the OS treats data as mutable references — e.g. update the contents of file X to Y. However, SSDs also work with immutable pages just like the MVCC mechanism.

On the other hand, if the DB storage engine uses a lower level API that goes directly to SSD pages, we can remove the impedance mismatch and achieve far better performance.

I wonder who is working on that. After a quick search, what I found was a page about OrioleDB [1], which is a Postgres storage engine distributed as an extension. If I understood it correctly, it seems to be going in this direction.

Too many liberals feel such guilt about expelling disruptive kids, when the reality is just what you've said: if they stay, they don't improve and they ruin genuine learning for everyone else.

It is so wrong for adults to fail to protect children who want to learn simply because they want a facade of feel-good egalitarianism.

Are you sure? The most common way to specify hardware these days is with a hardware description language, and the usual programming language tools like diff work for that. I'd personally be loathe to work any other way.

I won't give an answer either way as to your grouping question, just some things to consider:

Do you have a well-defined spec such that the two could work in isolation and finally merge the software and hardware at the end -- likely successfully? Then you should consider separating them completely.

As a general rule, the software that "goes with" the hardware should be in the hardware repository. That would include stuff like test frameworks of the HDL code, any tools or code used to generate further HDL code, as well as probably the on-chip firmwares (though sometimes I see those separated out). Stuff that would help you test and debug the chip as you develop it, should probably be in the chip repository.

I'd note that in a very big design it's not uncommon for different parts of the final IC to be developed in relative isolation from each other (possibly in different repositories); see my first point about whether there are well-defined interfaces.
I'd be curious to know if the existence of this unique veto power has led to a local stylistic specialization in writing the language of proposed bills to be as decontextualization-proof as possible.

Such a skill would be very useful for academics who expect to be interviewed about their work by members of the media.

It would also be interesting to see if an llm could be tweaked to produce content with semantic and narrational qualities that made cherry picking extremely difficult to do without being obvious, while also not making the original text fatiguing to follow.
Discipline does work; it's ultimately what the 'bad' kids get when they have runins with the criminal justice system.

The lack of discipline from the parents, mentors, and teachers early on is why the State has to do it later. Discipline is not orthogonal to 'help'.
With that logic, we shouldn't have police or a judicial system either

You can’t ignore the cryptocurrency layer, it’s required to fund the miners/validators who secure and run the chain. Blockchains don’t work without the cryptocurrency.

And there’s already at least one blockchain purpose-built for naming - https://handshake.org/. Worth reading their design notes on how and why it works as it does.
While (as a former math teacher, btw) I sympathize with you, let me point out that absolutely every teacher should "model how to be a functional human" (and in fact does, better or worse). This is true for every stage of education, from kindergarten to a university.

I find it hard not to be cynical about this after everything IBM has been doing. I wonder if this is an attempt to identify exactly which organizations are using Fedora in order to upsell or do another CentOS-like rug pull?

Luckily, OpenSuse Tumbleweed looks to be a pretty good alternative to Fedora. There’s even an immutable version of it, like Silverblue!

Tell HN: What happened in Business marketing today
1/ Instagram’s Threads app reached more than 50 million users in less than 48 hours.

2/ Pinterest to build a new content ranking system built on user email data gathering.

3/ Microsoft launched a free AI training with professional certificate.

4/ New Edits to your Google Local Service Ads will update your google business profiles in about 24 hours.

5/ Omnicom acquires Germany's creative agency Grabarz & Partner

6/ Tiktok’s BookTok success has led to their parent company “Bytedance” becoming a publisher.

7/ Twitter launched legal action against Meta for launching threads app.

6/ Gen-Z gives up on Tiktok as a search engine, report shows a drop in users utilising the seatch feature.

7/ Meta launched 22 System cards explaining how their AI algorithms work. And what factors play into ranking your content.

8/ ChatGPT is seeing a 10% dip in the usage since the launch.

9/ Youtube is experimenting a TikTok clone feature. On Tiktok, certain comments have “ keyword” that leads to a new topic or search. This will be available soon on Youtube too.

### Jaskaran’s Daily Insight:

Relevancy is decreasing liking factor. As Meta & TikTok both revealed their algorithms in the past few weeks. They have become like Pinterest in many ways.

Pinterest’s engagement is measured more in saves & link clicks. Because relevancy makes it common for people to see more of it. But doesn’t make a single post stand out or increases the dopamine to like it.

These relevant algorithms are putting you alongside 100 other relevant pieces of content. Chasing regular engagement no longer makes sense, you have to chase more relevancy. And calculate type of engagement that makes sense for you.

I think it depends on the industry and in location. In my neck of the woods I'm seeing an uptrend towards more technical managers, or sometimes a mix of lead developer and manager, who can actually get things done.

It's a matter of preference but IMO/IME it works better when a manager is actually good at it.

A manager that is supposed to be technical but only wants/knows how to do the management part, and can't make more than the basic stuff won't really fly. I've seen a couple of those getting fired during probation period.

On the other hand, the "bad developer" that thinks packages are magical will eventually settle as an expert beginner in a low-expectation environment. Which is fine.

Few years ago, I was stuck at Dulles due to a snow storm and had to resort to online customer chat support via the United app. I only used it because United was pushing people really hard to use the app for support. I was connected with a support rep who obviously did not live in the states because he tried to give me an impossible itinerary. Anyone living in DMV area knows taking an AA flight from DCA that's about to take off in 40 minutes when you're currently located in terminal C/D in IAD is impossible.

My current gig requires me to travel more and now I am able to enjoy the privileges of dedicated support line for 1K. The difference is night and day; you not only get connected to reps who are obviously American, but also reps who deal with frequent travelers so they have contextual information to get what you need.
Total CO2 emissions are only increasing however, and the rate of increase is increasing too.

The problem is that CO2 emissions values are largely estimated and modeled. So there are model precision issues, and political bias issues of the model author (include some factor, exclude, give different weight etc.). On the other hand actual CO2 level in the atmosphere can be measured directly and can't be fudged in any way. It's a cold uncaring fact which we can't appease or talk to persuade.

Compliance with GDPR is extremely easy: just don't gather PII in the first place.

And if you want to gather data it's also not too hard, just ask for it and tell user exactly what you're going to do with it.

It's when you want to cajole user into agreeing for gathering way more data than they would consent to if someone explained the extent to them plainly, and to send it to a bunch of 3rd parties too, that's where the difficulty starts and you have to use the blackest of black of techniques to cheat user while still being technically compliant to law.

Business owners do not create new medications. Academics do. Business owners manage them.

I don't understand. Is this some variant of a conspiracy theory? All academics are working together to groupthink their way to the left?

Or maybe. Seriously. The smart people in the room. Who dedicate their lives to improving the world. All pretty much, no matter what subject they study, come to the conclusion that the left is the correct choice while the right is destructive (see the fact that we've set best records this week).

Stop looking for conspiracies. Most faculty members are not unionized. And this varies a lot by country. Yet, in the US where we aren't unionized (in most states), in Canada where some are unionized, in the UK where are all unionized, in Italy where I think they aren't, etc. Everyone agrees with this basic fact.
Tangentially in around 2006 I was loosely involved with a Nokia effort based on the concept that in the future everyone would have a blog. You would take pictures and share them, publish your location and so on.

The fun begins when you realize they meant everyone host their blogs themselves . . . on their phones. There was a server project (called Raccoon iirc) and you could extend it with python scripts all on top of Symbian. It was beautifully mad but surprisingly educational. (I added GPS support and some usage of Bluetooth beacons when inside which had to be made up as there wasn’t a known standard at the time).

It’s worth considering why exactly such an idea strikes us as so completely mad now.
Side note/doubt.

By asking to have your data through a GDPR request you are effectively giving to the receiver of the request:

1) your full name

2) your phone number

3) your e-mail

i.e. basically a confirmation that both the phone number and e-mail are good/active/attended and that they are yours (and that you "exist"), while the data they may already have likely is only the telephone number and the patterns of its usage.

I have no idea how it could be possible to make a valid request without providing this kind of info (i.e. providing only the phone number, which they already have).

Maybe a sort of (public/certified) authorization service?
I can't say I had a bad experience with my Amazon interactions.

I have 3 free UPS's, that were wrong and Amazon just refunded me without requesting a return.

And I even had a hard drive go back, because of degraded performance - but it did require some extra troubleshooting on the phone.

Granted, I live in a rural area and I spend a lot on Amazon with Prime - from cleaning supplies and food to furniture and tech.
The possibility of being MitM (or really anything else to do with connecting or blocking the site) has nothing to do with the point the parent comment was trying to make, which is that DNS names very much are used as identities by many companies and organizations.

Entire brands are built around domain names, and even when not, they’re extremely common in advertising for most brands. To the tune of thousands or tens of thousands of dollars spent to acquire the right domain name.
If you extrapolate those criteria further; less nice, less transport and storage and more inventory you end up with e-books. But I absolutely understand that your personal preference is somewhere in the middle (while mine is at the end).

The invention of nukes caused a similar problem. Scientists had to harvest metal from pre-ww2 sunken battleships, since that’s the only metal not contaminated with some measurable amount of radiation. I forget the details, but it’s very likely pre-chatgpt training data will be prioritized, with exceptions for news and current events (which largely doesn’t matter whether it’s AI generated anyway).
They're rapidly iterating on it, and so feedback is taken into account, good. I wonder how it'll look in 6 months.
this listing is kinda misleading as most cases of sudo/SUID are

not "it calls sudo" / "has SUID set"

but "if called with sudo/suid it will not drop the elevated privileges" (or refuses to run).

this doesn't mean the table hasn't it's uses but most of the things in it don't allow you to bypass security restrictions by themselves at all even if supper buggy implemented, you always need to already be able to do some privileged operations, like setting suid root, to be able to bypass anything
Yelling isn't the only form of discipline. There's withholding privileges. There's physical restraint even. Without cooperation from parents, school staff can't really do either. A teacher I know tells me how some of the violent elementary school children just get put in a room alone when they are having an episode because that's all they are allowed to do. These children (under 12 years old) have sent teachers to urgent care with injuries, and the kids are let back to school not long after.
Thanks for the answers! I hope that you will be able to sell in the EU. CE is good consumer protection but it is unfortunate that it creates such a hurdle for small companies to sell their products.

The drive to use public tax dollars for private schools is great when it is STEM. Seems good right? Charter Schools for STEM. Who could argue?

People miss that the primary interest groups that are lobbying for private schools, that are arguing against public schools, are for Religion. They want to be able to teach the bible as fact, not teach evolution, to allow prayer.

By syphoning public dollars, into private schools, they are bypassing the separation of state-church.

This then takes dollars away from public schools, which then struggle. Then the awful state of the public schools, is used as an argument for more private schools, and thus more religious schools.

Eventually the population wont be able to think in scientific terms anymore, logical reasoning will be gone.

> Can't anyone who knows the server IP and has company VPN; tunnel and get access to that server?

I'm not sure I've understood quite how your chain of VPN, RDP and Tunnels is set up so I'm making some assumptions (Hopefully it'll still be helpful). I'm going to assume that you create a tunnel from the RDP machine to a port on the target machine's localhost interface.

First of all the process of creating the tunnel will involve authentication, which makes it easier to lock down access to individuals. Also the authentication process will leave entries in logs that a specific user connected to the tunnel which is generally more useful that someone with an IP of x.x.x.x connected (especially if multiple users could be connecting from the RDP machine).

Secondly making an application only listen on the localhost interface reduces the chance that in the future a miss-configuration of the firewall will open up access to the world.

Thirdly the tunnel will be encrypted which can add an extra layer of security if the underlying protocol being used transmits in the clear.

This is not novel. Mturk has always been automated since its very first release.

I remember worker forums sharing scripts to query amazon for the expected results that would get you paid. Amazon put up a bunch of very lucrative test jobs, but you only got paid if your answer matched the majority. The majority were automating, so unless you used the sometimes incorrect answers, you got nothing.

I know there are several services that helps you with removing your data from data brokers continuously, but only limits to residents in Countries which has GDPR alike laws.

I feel defenseless against these sophisticated international corporation mass surveillances. Sending GDPR to each of them when you have learned their existence is like whac-a-mole.
Embracing the Beauty of Present
How is that "cringe"?
Yeah, recently got one as well, the reviews had a picture of what I actually wanted, the product I got was PoD (this was a collection of Lovecraft stories, so public domain). Started a return, and Amazon just refunded and told me to keep the book …

FWIW, it’s not horrible, it’s a hard cover and not horrible in quality, just not what I wanted.

In the end, I got what I wanted on eBay classifieds for barely more than the amazon book, and less than what the big book stores with 3 weeks + delivery times wanted. Not technically new, but undistinguishable.
Yes, I don't think he was being serious in almost all his videos I've seen. Does not he ask Zelensky to kiss Joe Biden for him in some?
What's interesting about the GDPR is that it's ambiguous and vague and it seems like "we're ok with that", whereas in the U.S. ambiguity works against the legislators because a court is supposed to rule on the side of the defense if a law is too vague.

In the EU, it's basically expected that the courts will apply the law on a case-by-case basis, which opens the door to inconsistent application of the law and ultimately to selective prosecution.

In the case of Meta, it definitely seems inconsistently applied (even though I hate Meta and would never trust them again). They simply choose the seemingly worst offender (Meta) and try to kick it out of the EU, while leaving alone the actual worst offender (ByteDance). Prosecution becomes a case of politics rather than justice.

Cool. If I can propose a little improvement, it would be nice to allow an arbitrary long nonce. Like, feeding the first 96 bits of the nonce into GCM, and the rest in CBC-MAC.
And that is the whole idea of having a list like this. These tools by default have some capabilities which can easily be executable. You need to mitigate each of those. Because they are insecure by default.
