Similarly, we were just finishing up a project for a client and we’re just going through and connecting everything up.

The hardware consisted of 6 color terminals (Wyse 350s I think), the server, and 10 PCs with large, 20” tube monitors. We had these all in my bosses office powered through assorted outlets and power strips. The room was wall to wall machinery.

It was after hours when the janitor came in and plugged in his vacuum. I looked at him, he looked at me, I looked at my boss, who looked back. We then both turned back to the janitor, who looked at us.

Not a word was said as he fired it up. 2 seconds later, the power was out, we blew the breaker. Took us a half hour to get it back on. But it was funny at the time.
Yes, and itel has instrumentation libraries which do this.

However, no automatic instrumentation can do everything for you; it can't know what are all the interesting properties or things to add as attributes. But adding tracing automatically to SQL clients, web frameworks etc is very valuable

Finally got the Apple Pay Secure Element screen on iOS 17… Seems like the upper limit is 39 cards (I collected and registered debit cards, prepaid cards, etc.)

Felica means Suica and PASMO, it seems? [[Suica and PASMO are two types of Japanese public transport fare cards that can also be used for other kinds of payments; FeliCa is the name of the technology used by both of them, and the screenshot shows "FeliCa" instead of the specific card types.]]

ICOCA [[another kind of fare card]] and overseas transport systems' smartcards still aren't issued. [["issued" is a literal translation but I think the author just means they haven't registered those cards yet. Or maybe they don't work with iOS yet?]]

It sounds like they were using an ARR model that failed to take into account partial usage, in a significant way.
Just tried this out on hacker news, it correctly summerised that it was a news site but asking it if there were any articles about programming it made up stories not on the page.

Goodbye Splunk. We hardly knew yeah - but thanks for all the fish.
I'm not inciting it: I'm pointing it out.
the thing is, historically, if you already make laptops (and they 20 years ago had a pcmcia slot in which a verizon, etc, cellular modem could fit...i had one), and you already later make iPhones, then it's a short jump from iPhone logic board to iPad.

it's a longer jump to get a cellular capable antenna complex in an all metal (think semi faraday cage) aluminium unibody.

point is, it's historical artifact originally.

now, a decade later, perhaps the BOM thing is just enough motivation to not do it, or the ubiquity of "hotspots" via cellular lessens the appeal at scale.
"This simple tool solves X at my org" is probably the most underrated type of project. There's not enough room to overcomplicate something that isn't a core part of the business, it must be practical to maintain, simple&stupid enough so that onboarding is not a hurdle, etc.

Can you give an example for what you would like? I think democracy favoring populism has been a thing since at least "panem et circenses". It's nothing new.

The US certainly has enough money to feed everyone in the country (citizens or otherwise), it would be a tiny fraction of the current budget to do so. I'm curious to hear your ideas for better spending targets.
Wifi is really trivial to break into and doesn't leave meaningful traces unless you really do some enterprise monitoring stuff.

Unlike breaking into your window, you are unlikely to get the cops to do anything if someone breaches your network. There's also direct and indirect financial incentive.

So now your entire livestreaming security setup depends on the security of your wifi network, which can be broken with $20 of dedicated hardware.

And yeah, if someone puts hardcoded creds into their cameras.. they probably do it for all their firmware. It doesn't even have to be malicious, it's just a lazy way to test and debug software.
Great points.

It's very similar to a DAG you'd make for a workflow but not necessarily acyclic and events can be sent from external sources as well as internal processes.

States can be grouped into parent states, which gives you some additional nice things like parallel states and also a totally reasonable way to zoom out and hide info in visualizations.

When you have a pure function or a single effect, that should definitely just be a function rather than its own machine. Sate machines are most useful for orchestrating those effectful functions and for situations where you want to accept external events. So you're still writing regular code but you're writing it in small functions that get invoked by the state machine as needed.

That is, state machines don't replace code. They're just a really nice way to organize it.
Another red herring. Chernobyl had several design flaws in its RMBK reactors and what caused the melt down was operating it in a way that it was not designed for so a commie could look good for his bosses.

Modern reactors are far more resilient and safe. The reason building new reactors is so expensive comes down to the permitting and license process. Building is easy, dealing with the $300/hr lawyers and regulatory overhead that makes bringing new reactors online is why it's so expensive.

You want to know who has the safest track record of nuclear reactor operation? The navy.

> Not sure about Google, but companies like Walmart never settle.

This is simply false. While Walmart is aggressive, they do settle. What Walmart does which masks this is, where they have they have the leverage to do so, as they usually do with individual plaintiffs that actually are concerned about financial compensation, insist in strict confidentiality terms in settlements which makes them unlikely to be reported. But even that doesn't cover everything, and there are noteworthy publicly reported settlements.

> So, what's the answer?

Probably a mix of things. QCM has a lot of IP/Patents in this space so there are some "intuitive" engineering solutions that ... can't be pursued w/o a license.

But even if there was no legal blockers, RF engineering is a _whole other ball game_ compared to the "routine" circuits used in CPUs. I don't just mean from a "well, the schematic sure looks different" perspective, I mean from a "how you build it in the fab" perspective as well.

TL;DR: if electricity is magic, RF is black magic.
Postel's Law is bad. It directly contradicts with the Unix philosophy of building small and composable interfaces. Look how small and generic the interface of Reader in Go. It has one method with a simple signature and can be used widely.

Otoh, when your software is not opinionated about what it accepts, that's when it tends to produce surprising behaviors. This whole argument made me lean on TOML even more. It's not perfect but certainly better than ini in many ways.
Common now, the original article is perfectly reasonable one, and that includes its title as well.

For the past few days everyone is talking about Unity, and I don't think it's exaggeration to say that Godot has become the de facto alternative in low to mid level game development.

Godot itself will (if not already is) benefit from that status a lot.
Article that brings highlights parts well Godot is lacking compared to Unity is perfectly valid criticism to have.
Thanks! Totally agree :)
> you will see that the notion of submessages are explicitly supported.

This is misinterpreting what actually happens. "Message" in Protobuf lingo means "a composite part". Everything that's not an integer (or boolean or enum, which are also integers) is a message. Lists and maps are messages and so are strings. The format is designed not to embed the length of the message in the message itself, but to put it outside. Why -- nobody knows for sure, but most likely a mistake. After all it's C++, and by the looks of the rest of the code the author seems like they felt challenged by the language, so they felt like it'd be too much work if / when they realized that the encoding of the message length was misplaced to put it in the right place, and so it continues to this day.

For the record, I implemented a bunch of similar binary formats, eg. AMF, Thrift and BSON. The problem in Protobuf isn't some sort of a theoretical impasse. It's really easy to avoid it, if you give it like an hour-long thinking, before you get to actually writing the code.
I wish people would stop calling any website/networked service an "app". That's just the interface
As someone who has, and still does attempt work via iOS tethering it is in fact a complete dumpster fire. Frequent disconnects which force me to constantly revisit the Settings app to disable & reenable is a nightmare. At this point, after many years of the same level behavior, I suspect the disfunction is on purpose (probably a back room deal with cell phone providers)
But in another place (the paper the grandparent comment linked) they're claiming a classic Pons-Fleischmann experiment, where they're just pumping in cold deuterium gas–no heat, no radiation–and say they observed spontaneous nuclear reactions. Party like it's 1989.

I agree with the grandparent commenter: zero credibility here, this group is doing nothing but trolling people.
Right. Because rest of the comments in this subthread are clearly much better, very thoughtful, substantive and non-generic.

Sigh, fine, I get the point; I'll delete the comment. Sorry. You're right, I shouldn't have done that. Even if it was a joke it's always a bad idea to post anything even remotely controversial on the Internet, especially if it can be in any way construed that you might disagree with the hive mind of the site you're posting to. Thank you for the reminder before it turned into a potential flamewar.
> I used to type 170~ WPM on QWERTY.

That's an absurd speed.

I can touch type on QWERTY, and last I measured I hovered at around 100 WPM on my best efforts. But TBH typing speed is really not something I'm concerned about. When I'm programming, accuracy is more important than speed, and I spend much more time thinking than actually typing. And when I'm writing prose, I also make pauses to rethink what I'm writing, and go back and forth, refining the text to match my thoughts. So even if I typed much faster, my overall speed of communication or programming wouldn't improve.

I also haven't had any discomfort after decades of typing on QWERTY keyboards. I find it hard to believe that a different layout would reduce discomfort more than using an ergonomic keyboard, with proper wrist support and posture.
I misspoke there-- meant to say:

"The application has been tested with log files several gigabytes in size from dozens of machines and can process all of it in minutes."

That's the time it takes to connect to 20+ machines, download multiple gigs of log files from all of them, and parse/ingest all the data into a sqlite. If you have a big machine with a lot of cores and a lot of RAM, it's incredibly performant for what it does.
But hasn't it made it easier to get around sanctions, not harder?
Matrix evolves as a protocol by folks proposing new APIs (e.g. MSC3575), implementing them, showing that they work, and making the case that they should be merged into the main spec.

Sliding Sync is an interesting case in that it clearly does work, and it kicks ass - but it turns out to be unnecessarily complicated for the subset of features that you actually need when implementing something like Element X (which is my fault entirely, fwiw). However, should we hold off on putting it in people's hands while we sort that? Nope. Is it a pain to temporarily run a proxy shim service while the protocol stabilises? Yes. It's like running a SPDY or QUIC-aware reverse proxy in front of a webapp that only speaks HTTP/1.1 while waiting for SPDY to be ratified as HTTP/2. Sure, it's another moving part to look after, but the spectacular improvement is likely worth the pain. YMMV though :)

It's difficult to control data ingress so you end up in debt and on repayment plans. Which are expensive.
Maybe this was once true, but the hardware that C was designed for specifying the behavior of was a PDP-11. Nowadays you are programming an abstract C-ish virtual machine that provides certain semantic guarantees that don't necessarily map terribly well to the physical hardware. For example, if you write to a memory address, and then read from the memory address in the "next instruction", you expect the change to be immediate, even though the code is actually running on a pipeline that could be dozens of instructions deep, with several layers of cache between the core and system memory. So in a sense there's not really a qualitative difference between C and Fortran - they are both for specifying a sequence of operations on an abstract machine, relying on the compiler to implement that machine - and indeed modern optimizing C compilers actually provide very few guarantees about specific assembly instructions to be executed, happily rewriting or omitting code so long as it executes "as if" it ran on the C virtual machine.

See "C is not a low-level language" - https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3212479

Its arguably an even shorter jump between iPad and MacBook Pro today - the architecture of both products is incredibly similar now.

You mean just like the aluminium bodies already present on the cellular iPads? Or several generations of iPhone? This excuse doesn't hold either.

I think the suspicious thing is that these were bought right before the announcement of the acquisition. If they had bough the options at any other time and made money it would not be notable.
Eh?

If I print a map and sell it showing a bridge. Then later the bridge washes out in a flood, how in any way would the map maker be responsible if you're aware enough not to drive off a cliff. This case has nothing to do with any technology involved.

Counties, in general under law, are excluded from most of these kinds of liabilities in most states. Probably why the family is going after Google, County is a dead end.

That may be so, but beware that acquisitions usually increase stock price rather than decrease it.
> I think the fans’ point is that what Disney is doing to Star Wars today is diminishing the entirety of Star Wars, the average of past + present

Lucas was at the helm for Return of the Jedi, Star Tours, and the three prequels. I think we can't lay the blame for the Holiday Special on him, but that certainly happened too. There's the Ewok tv movies too, which thankfully I've never seen.

Even if all the Disney Star Wars films are crap, they're just continuing the trend. I prefer to simply believe there are two Star Wars films, and let others believe what they want to believe.
Wow. That this is from 2011 is telling.

some airlines have already done this, having fully owned subsidiaries. consider Lufthansa and their "Miles and More" subsidiary.

that said, I doubt airlines will ever fully relinquish control over their loyalty programs - they are too critical to the core business and offer a 'secret sauce' of differentiation to what is an otherwise commoditized product (i.e. flying from point A to B).

Can someone explain the mechanics of this specific trade to a noob? The trader bought 550k options yesterday for SPLK to hit $127/share?

This is excellent news!

Nippon Television holds exclusive rights to shows Ghibli content in Japan (which could go for a much higher value and viewership elsewhere), but the important thing is the relationship between Nippon's manager (Okuda) for their Ghibli relationship. For years, he would visit the studio day after day, just to hang out with the team and Miyazaki.

Okuda's family and Miyazaki's family went to a retreat together (as they did every summer) and that experience became the basis for Spirited Away. That is why Ghibli stuck with Nippon through the years and likely resulted in this buyout.

From the Kingdom of Dreams and Madness Documentary:

"When producer Suzuki meets a group of new Nippon TV employees, he tells them that they shared a long professional and private relationship with Seiji Okuda from NTV. It was after a trip to the mountains with Okuda and his daughter, that gave inspiration to the movie Spirited Away."

This is basically Steve Jobs selling Pixar to Disney... this relationship is about more than money, it's about trust and stewardship.
No it is not. Print a map on a piece of paper. You follow it off a cliff. In what world is that the map makers fault?
