Not for the reasons in the article, but ... I'm not sure POSIX matters so much anymore.

The BSDs, Mac OS included, have ways to do things that are not in POSIX, and they're usually the best way to get that specific thing done.

Linux is the same, but doesn't follow the BSDs lead on those APIS (epoll, inotify, kqueue/kevent etc).

io_uring is awesome, but there's no analog for FreeBSD etc.

Fuchsia, Windows and other platforms offer Linux compatibility, not as focused on specifically POSIX.

So, is Linux the new POSIX? I don't know...

... but I think about this monthly at least.
Similar story: I had an old account locked and I wanted to delete it. They asked me security questions about random Facebook friends to verify my identity, and I had no idea who they were. So I sent in my driver's license photo, which was rejected for an unknown reason.. and around and around it went.

I ended up finding a random Facebook corporate email address online and I just kept spamming it in hopes that a human would actually read it and do something about it. To my surprise, it actually worked.

For me personally this is too little too late. About 5 years ago I could have really used a super powerful multicore processor in my local desktop. But my company has since moved to the cloud and I just use ssh on a 128 core VM based on AMD Epyc.
I don't know about elsewhere, but under UK law this would be illegal - precisely to stop this sort of thing happening.

The new company has to offer employees a "transfer of previous employment" - so even though you're working for someone else, your history at the previous company is moved over with you. So if they wanted to get rid of you, they would then have to go through a redundancy process - which involves explaining why they're letting you go, offering you alternatives and giving you a payout based on your length of service.

That's generally the case of rural living as a whole. Internet? fat chance before starlink. have fun with dialup or horrendous phone. This alone limits your financial flexibility greatly. Thank god Starlink exists now.

Have a heart attack? Have fun being dead or getting over it on your own by the time an ambulance shows up!

Ditto for pretty much anything. House fire? tough tits, the fire department will show up an hour later to make sure there's no embers.

Legislation? Unless your state/province is mostly rural (which it pretty much never is), Urbanites are the golden goose. 90% of legislation is made with them in mind.

This has lead rural communities to be entirely self reliant, for good reason. they don't have society to rely on. They, more than pretty much any urbanite, have actual reason to have guns. Taking them away isn't going to change the fact that nobody gives a shit about them on a systemic level lol, and if anything will probably make them resent urbanites more for taking their shit away.
Strange explanation.

If Google cannot handle legit business then it should manage their resources better.

Advertising malware is not legit business.

"We are so profitable and big" is not excuse for it.

It is reason why they earn so much money, they do not care if criminals advertise malware.

Now banks must spend awful lot of money to fight money laundering. Maybe it is time to force Google to take some responsibility.
The ryzen 9's with 16 cores a fantastic little machines for general development work, and burn through compiling most things. But I do a fair bit of linux kernel work too, and I would really like more cores. The old threadrippers were the obvious target, but the MSRP on this 32 core is fully 4x+ the 16 core Ryzen. I get they are protecting their low end epyc business but I am desperately praying for some intel competition in this space. I still use my intel HEDT machine on a daily basis and while I picked it up right after a refresh and received a significant discount that machine with a 1080TI still cost less than the ryzen 9.

So, hey AMD figure out a reasonable way to product segment your workstation users so you can flatten the price curve a bit so I don't have to keep buying used servers.
Why surprised? It's rock solid, stable, fast, and does pretty much everything you need, and nothing is hidden behind premium tiers, unlike nginx where they leave bugs and awful behaviour in the open source version that aren't in the premium ones (e.g. nginx used to only resolve hostname entries on start-up, https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,215830,215832#msg-215832, so if you used a hostname in proxy_pass, and the DNS changed, oops sorry. Actual honouring of DNS TTLs used to be a premium only feature)

Estonia's capital made mass transit free a decade ago. Car traffic went up
Delivering isn't expensive, but storing is. Estimates from 2019 were that YouTube ingests 500 hours of video every minute[0] - if we assume the most conservative bitrate for 1080p video, 4mbps, that's 900 gigabytes of video ingested every minute and 1.3PB every day - and a lot of videos are higher bitrate at 1080p or offer 1440p/4k options as well.

Even if they're getting the best deal on Enterprise drives ever at $0.009/gb or $12k/day in storage costs, that's still half an exabyte a year, and with real-world storage sizes including 4k video, chances are they were already buying over 1 exabyte of storage every year in 2019 and are doing a lot more today.

Java and JavaScript being high-level languages, it’s easy to switch the internal representation of strings.

In fact, the JVM already has moved to a mix of ISO-8859-1/Latin-1 and UTF-16 (https://openjdk.org/jeps/254), and I expect many performant JavaScript implementations also do something in that direction.
I recently moved out of a house without a dishwasher. I'm less depressed now, because it's so much easier to keep my smaller apartment clean with an automatic dishwasher. I feel like I can cook without it being a four or five hour affair.

If it works for you, that's great, but I don't miss doing dishes manually.
I don’t rely on my coworkers for companionship, but I work eight hours a day. Interacting with people that are “friends” is better to me than interacting with people that are cold and indifferent because they have no interest in being friendly with work colleagues. I don’t want your time after work. I just want to get along and crack a few jokes while the code deploys.
Note: AMD implements AVX512 with execution over two cycles (aka double pumping), not in one cycle like Intel.
I wish more folks distributed Linux ISOs via Bittorrent since it has an integrity check built into the protocol -- messing with PGP is hard and showing me an MD5 sum over a self signed certificate is... just special.
At this rate, just 2510*1.5 years and we will crack all current AES. Hopefully we will be using 512 bit keys by then. 512 bits should be enough for anyone.

I think the WebAssembly people have been judicious about features. Watching it evolve has made me feel that they truly respect how important it is to keep things well thought out and as efficient as possible. I feel like it’s in very good hands.
As a german I wouldn't go to göogle.com. If my native language didn't include ö? Then that might be a speck of dust to me as well.

A safer approach would be to only ever show a user the characters they expect to see (and are familiar with), e.g. based on their language setting. Assuming that every language has a finite list of characters used in its written form such a whitelist approach should be possible and much better than playing whack-a-mole with a blacklist for "potentially confusable" characters.

Roomvas is a free interior design program that lets you create your dream home!

The main features include:

- Real-time 3D rendering with realistic lighting and shadows

- Drag-and-drop furniture from a catalog of over 400 items

- A floorplan mode to easily recreate your home layout, with automatic adjustments (e.g. moving a wall will adjust the room’s wall and floor to match)

There are also 7 sample designs you can play around with, if you enjoy tinkering with designs.

Any feedback is appreciated :)

> Moodle is a total beast to scale, it uses a ton of memory and EVERYTHING assumes its running on one server, not a high-availability setup.

It's PHP and MySQL/PostgreSQL. Not really sure where there should be a problem. With CephFS or NFS scaling shouldn't be an issue for the most part and the database can run on another host?

Thiel's strategy seems to rely on external "pre-selection" to pick his fellows. Even when the program launched, he selected several candidates that already had been accepted to elite schools prior to applying.

Nothing inherently wrong with this. But it does explain why colleges might be nervous: He's piggy-backing off their selection process to poach young candidates.
POSIX also specifies the coreutils, so implementing a few syscalls definitely doesn't cut it.
Probably just theregister being a bit quirky and a bit click baity.
Yep that's it exactly.

I'd prefer the government to host its own data.

I'd also like any site hosting public information to be compelled to serve that information to everyone.

Facebook may not know they're being used like this, and it would be fine for them to object, but if they do want to carry government alerts they should be open to non-users without tracking or shadow profiling.

I used to put some amount of stock into the idea that he could've just been reckless. It's been pretty clear in the trial that at least all of the top leadership not only knew but were in on the scam, thinking they'd make and move enough money consistently to keep things going.

It's more curious to me how a bunch of people from Jane Street could believe anything like a Ponzi can keep going.
Most news stories are not primary sources. They're secondary at best. The exception would be things like stories from embedded reporters (e.g. Nellie Bly) but those are very uncommon at this point as they cost $ and the ROI is worse than summarizing what is said by other sources.
It depends on your values I suppose but as someone who teaches a course that many take for general education requirements I'd say that the majority enter my course not knowing basic things about the world, like that American Sign Language is a language and not just people making gestures at one another. They also believe weird things they learned off the Internet, like "Eskimos" having 1000 words for snow or some tribe having no concept of time because they don't have a past tense. That is just the tip of the iceberg. Students in their early 20s often haven't even developed the general bullshit detecting skills to question a lot of this stuff. If they don't learn these skills somewhere they may never do so. I know it sounds kind of harsh but it is possible to get a degree in engineering or English literature and still be super stupid outside of a narrow field. I think that is bad for society. It creates a lot of problems when people don't get educated in the basics. It makes them poorer critical thinkers. It is easier to take advantage of them and they may be part of something hurtful or destructive without understanding why it is a bad thing. A university that sends out the equivalent of flat earthers and anti-vaxxers in droves is worthless. Who cares if people are getting jobs right out of college if they may actively be working against the public good in the long run due to ignorance?
Title should be Nokia DELETES 14,000 employees.
Yes, it is a real difference that bit me a few times when I forgot about the 1 week difference. The worst is that this week of difference is present or not depending on the years.

The second nightmare is the week iof difference in daylight saving time (in Europe we switch a week earlier or later vs the US, I do not remember anymore)
This is kind of neat from a nostalgia standpoint, but I wish there was some kind of "Encyclopedia of Operating System UI," that broke UI features and paradigms down into their smallest units, described their mechanics, and tracked them across different operating systems and versions. Probably with a particular emphasis on defunct systems when there was a lot more diversity and innovation (e.g. the Canon Cat Leap Keys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_TlE_U_X3c)
The fact that it's at the top now is not surprising, Google probably knows you're a programmer and is likely to show you programming-related results.

Even if you turn off all tracking and use a private window, there are ways. In my case, the combination of a Polish IP address, Safari on Mac OS and English as the browser language is enough to profile me as "tech-savvy, probably interested in science and edutainment, not in funny cute cat videos, Polish politics and sports." The Youtube home feed is a testament to this. If I change my location to the UK (with a VPN), that feed suddenly becomes a lot more generic.
Not sure 'prankster' is the appropriate translation of what he said, which is more demeaning.

He called them "plaisantins" and "guignols". Perhaps jokers, clowns, fools would be better to convey that what he said is really a 'polite' insult.
A lot of people don’t actually work in their field of study after they graduate. A quick google say only 46% do. So I think some general education is in order and valuable.

I do think they could speed up the time to get deep in your major courses. But I changed majors 3 times, each change cost me time since I’m just basically randomly guessing what I think I might have some interest in that might also provide a decent life/career. Trying to plan out your whole life at ages 18-20 seems ludicrous to me still and I don’t feel like I was equipped with enough information to really know what possibilities were out there in the real world.

I agree in principle. It's probably better at top schools and lib arts colleges, but a large percentage of my generals were also low quality department fundraisers (a health class comes to mind).
It's the intensity of it that strikes me. It's not just a matter of not liking their new stuff. I've encountered many folks that are basically mad the band changed directions. Almost as if the band owes it to the world to keep producing the same sound.
(Usually) Better/more stable working conditions for workers in Europe compared to the US. Band could also just be based in EU and prefer the user-protections EU offers compared to the US.
> And the reason we don't do that is because it would expose the lie that there can be a universal data and power connector for all devices

And yet, such a connector and cable does exist!

> everything can connect perfectly fine with the right cables

Right, because carrying 3 different cables to give a presentation, which I wont be able to if I forget one of them, or it gets too bent in my backpack is indeed "perfectly fine". As opposed to carrying just 1 USB-C cable (which as a bonus I can use to charge my Android phone in case the battery unexpectedly starts running out before the end of the day) and even if it gets damaged or broken, odds are increasingly that there will be several other people who will also have that cable.

> rather than blame the device manufacturer for choosing a shoddy cable, or the government for forcing them to, we can happily blame the cable manufacturer instead

And we can't do that with universal cables because?

I hope you are right and I'm being ungenerous in my interpretation.

If so I apologize.
To be fair, POSIX gets updated and eventually follows the implementations. Just like the newer C standards usually just officially adopt things that gcc and sometimes clang have already been doing for decades.
One lesson of the last ten years is the wealthy in the US are stunningly bad at spotting scam artists that appeal to their ideas of what an idealist should look like.

Arguably many people have this weakness and merely lack the resources to deploy when it is triggered.
Not disputing anything you're saying, which is that the TF isn't quite a "Horatio Alger" fund, but I still think there's a lot of value in diverting people away from college who don't really want or need to be there, and growing their companies 1-4 years faster. It's no secret that Thiel hates how colleges have largely become a culturally self-appointed gateway to the middle class (in his perception), and that he's trying very hard to dispel the idea that college is necessary.
"Modern day country" for either male or female is more often than not just a fashion statement.

In Mexico we have a quasi-blockchain quasi-smart_contract that gets signed and sent to the taxman every time an invoice is created.

This “contracts” are in xml format, require a private key to be signed, and are incredibly rich in catalogs and features.

They are massive: just last year, over 10^10 generated documents were reported.

Sure there is still a lot of informality, but in a matter of years not only will tax returns be automatically calculated for you to pay (this is already happening), but also p&l’s and balance sheets of small and big companies.

This all happens on almost real time, by the way.

intent exactly

and as far as I can tell it's quite unlikely that there is bad intent involved

as far as I understand DIY sells of Threadriper solely exist for PR, mind share reasons a bit of edge case handling and maybe some book keeping trick to even out certain marked OEM demand fluctuations.

but I don't think they make relevant amounts of profit with DIY sells

I mean think about it most (by far) end users of Threadrippers are companies needing it for work stations.

Most larger companies only buy from OEMs like DELL for various reasons like warranty handling, uniform platforms, certain "enterprise" BIOS features etc.

Even for small companies the DIY part is often an issue, they might not have IT experts and even if this system goes e.g. to a software developer they might not be willing to hardware maintain their PC (and take responsibility for it).

This leafs a relative small number of private enthusiasts and small companies, to small to really be profitable.

Add to that that the demand of DIY is less predictable then that of OEMs, and production capacities for CPUs tend to be limited and even if less so currently tend to still often doesn't allow fast dynamic changes of the amount.

Idk. but if I would be AMD I think I would pin down my big customers on contracts with a more fixed demand (both fixed initially and fixed+%variety follow up) and then plan CPU production of that (with maxed out variety) and if there are any spare factory resources I would use them for either server CPUs or desktop CPUs whatever currently sells hotter. Then if the OMS don't max out their variety I would stock the remainder and once enough stock accumulated pass it the the consumer facing department to sell as DIY parts.
Show HN: An API to build self-sovereign identity products
We recently released our free API (https://www.truvity.com/platform), demo (soon to be open-sourced) and developer documentation (https://docs.truvity.com/) in the hopes of seeing more people take advantage of the benefits of self-sovereign identity. Like it's ability to remove fraud from the equation, quicker verification speeds, and more power for individuals of their data.

Use cases could include many things including managing carbon credits, issuing university diplomas or building customer loyalty programmes. The possibilities are quite endless.

Looking for feedback on what's been built; all comments are welcome.
But what if that’s the way the author has decided to do things?

Not everybody wants a tip jar. Why should you get to impose your views over that of the author who’s book you want to read?
Agreed. I just want a PDF I can put in Goodnotes because that's where I keep my books.
Maybe if I could use it without a MS account and without secure boot, I could be convinced. But even then I don't see many advantages for me as a user.

Not a fan of the "UWP or whatever it is called now"-UI. There were improvements under the hood from Win7 to 10. That doesn't in any way relate to the UI though and I do use monitors with a very high DPI.

UI doesn't phase me too much, you can adjust quickly, but I don't want the other "security" features. Security in quotes because I don't believe this is about my personal security.

The hardware requirements aren't described correctly in this article either. You need a TPM 2.0 module. It might be the case it is just turned off in your BIOS. Windows 10 will tell you that your device would allegedly be incompatible, but it is a case of software configuration. Sure, very old machines probably have no TPM 2.0 module, but chances are that many do.

There are of course some workarounds for all these issues, but I just think it isn't worth the hassle to update.
