I have carbon rims on my MTB, and I think disk brakes there generally seem like a decent idea. The rims are more exposed to mud and muck, and the added stopping power is nice.

I'm less convinced about road bikes though.
> There was no good way for an astronaut to record the precise time and pointing angle of a camera when he took a picture, and so the interpreters often had a very difficult time determining what they were looking at. This had been one of the factors that contributed to the demise of the US Air Force’s Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) program.

This it not accurate. MOL was canceled in favor of adding black/dark projects to the NASA space shuttle “white” project. In fact a lot of tech developed for MOL ended up on the shuttle.

What about the 'nuts and bolts' of integration, differentiation, etc. Why is linear algebra covered but no calculus? Even if calculus is covered in real analysis, I think calc needs its own course, and is the most important one by far as a building block before you dive into the other stuff. Otherwise, you will be stuck and not knowing any of the notation. No mention of partial differential equations either, which is also very important. You need to learn how to master change of variables and substitution--those come up constantly in advanced concepts.
When it came out there was nothing else like it for a loong time.

As time goes on audiences become much more sophisticated but they retain the nostalgia of the past and remain unable to differentiate between nostalgia and modern standards. If blade runner was released nowadays it would probably be pretty bad.

The snyder cut is just low brow stuff. The DC cinematic universe is even more cheese than marvel. People liked the snyder cut because they just really wanted to like it. It's like a beacon of hope for a crap franchise. When you invest that much energy hoping for something (even though the snyder cut was only slightly better but overall still crappy) people have to make themselves love it.

I think this is one of those articles that sounds smart and convincing. And that's a small problem when smart and convincing nerd-snipes the crowd here.

I had a funny, similar problem when I got into sea-kayaking. There are so many videos on Youtube that you can watch, and they will make you think you're planning and preparing to get into a sea-kayak, but, not a single one of them give you any sort of clue what it's actually like.

This article is similar (and dissimilar) to those videos. It's similar in that it makes you think you're understanding more than you really are. Dissimilar in that this is basically some old grumpy guy trolling. Maybe they're like that friend who "thinks" we should've stuck to using C to write our applications, and that virtualization was a mistake. Now consider e.g. grandma. If you were a third-party with no background into the field, you would not be able to distinguish the person being serious from your troll friend who enjoys "debates" and creating arguments for argument's sake.

Maybe it's a lesson that smart doesn't go as far as we think it would. Domain knowledge matters. (And going back to that third-party and your troll friend, maybe that is why it's not so nice being managed by a non-technical person.)
Probably a boox?
Just an aside, some of recent changes seems intended to mimic Reddit. Not that it matters much.
The world is vast: some people don't have the privilege of their next meal, a roof over their heads, their home even existing tomorrow. Getting stopped by cops in one of the many places where we're a minority doesn't really stack that high up on the scale of it all.

The reality is you probably are privileged, and so am I compared to my parents who grew up on mud floors and lost siblings to easily preventable conditions, and that's why it's pointless to go around Hacker News of all places and throw around the "you're privileged card"... like 99.9% of the people here aren't also just for having the time to be here.

You can be struggling, you can be in a bad place, but that’s orthogonal to feeling connected and spiritually awake

And I’m not saying drugs are how you can (or should) get there, just that the material conditions that someone is living in have nothing to do with being “there”

And by “there”, I mean a sense of abandonment of self to the fabric that you arose out of. Which is not the same thing as conformity, more like a sense of understanding and acceptance of where you belong in the grand scheme of things

Your private keys at rest are / should be encrypted, so it would take a bit more than just reading them.

The next level of mitigating that sort of a thing is to have keys not be on the hosts at all. Enter HSM - Hardware Security Module. A wildly complex topic I cannot hope to cover in an HN comment, but fundamentally, the private keys are not on the same HW as the server software which needs them.

A fundamental property of an HSM is that you, the HSM user, don't actually see the private key. You can ask the HSM to generate one. Derive things from it (in the cryptographic sense of derive). Even prove the provenance of such derived data. But the HSM should not reveal the actual private key.

In the cloud world, the HSM equivalent is known as KMS (Key Management Service), and the Good cloud providers all let you manage your own (with the downside being that you now need to manage your own keys).

de Forest was earned a physics PhD from Yale in 1899. His experiments with a lot of ideas that were new at the time led to broadcast radio, microphone recording, talkies, amplified music, and broadcast TV. It's argueable that his cultural influence outweighed Edison's. Then, just like Tesla for a long time (and other radio and TV pioneers) he was disappeared.

This 1906 talk to the New York AIEE conference reveals what was going through his head when he discovered weak-signal amplification.

Edit: Corrected the PhD year from 1896.
Or even less so.
We don't live in a theoretical universe where ideas are placed in the idea analyzer machine and a determination is spit back upon its truth value, subsequent to which, all the good ideas are placed on a shelf so we can all gaze upon them together and mutter "hrmm, those are a fine set of ideas".

Ideas are instrumental, they're advanced to achieve a specific purpose and their truth and falsity is important to the extent that they affect the instrumentality. You simply cannot separate out an idea from the person advancing the idea because the important question is not one idea in isolation, but of all the universe of ideas, why are we paying attention to this one, right now, towards what ends?
Ayn Rand? LOL, play your comic book political fantasies to another crowd, there is no marketplace here. There are two companies that have behaved monopolistically, using illegal means to crush all competition, and now lay flat on their backs and shriek bloody murder when weak Western regulators even sniff at reminding them of what they need to do to at least maintain the illusion of a "fair" marketplace. And for the sake of.... what in your estimation is high quality curation? (TikTok, Candy Crush, Fruit Ninja) In what sense is having the same 5 timewasting apps on the homepage for over a decade curation? Don't you imagine that a 'curator' would promote a diverse array of the high quality content and tools that are available on their platform?

You seem incapable of conceiving of a way of life outside of that of the consumer, sitting around waiting for a bit of gold to fall into your hands. Others are out there trying to build things, some of which are interesting, and most of which are miserable failures. And in the world that I want to live in, and in the world that Western democracies have built empires on the promise of, individuals and collectives ought to be able to attempt to do so without having to crash into the infinite fields of iron gates erected by the ~12 megacorporations that collectively have a stranglehold on >90% of every market for >90% of goods.

I am not interested in whatever male fantasies of individual struggle that you are seeing projected onto the foreheads of others, we should not deny a generation their collective and individual rights to self-determination by failing to see that we've created a world where digital life is a prerequisite for living, and our governments have protected a small number of aristocrats set on binding the digital lives of human beings to enrich themselves.
>"Humans are bad at reasoning about multiple threads simultaneously"

Humans are bad at reasoning about way too many things. I think mostly because many are lazy and do not want to learn. The ones who do have little problems. I do not find thread management particularly hard for the most parts (there are some exceptions but those are very uncommon).

I was at an org who started using Okta a few years ago (left a few months later, unrelated). Among the issues, it wasn't confidence inspiring that the policies that org set (like requiring the Okta app for 2FA rather than TOTP, or enforcing certain properties about the passwords you're allowed to use) were only enforced in the browser and could easily be circumvented by just sending an appropriate request. Maybe they're fine otherwise, but my rule of thumb is that every security-critical single-point-of-failure like Okta will have major problems, and they certainly haven't presented enough evidence to sway that opinion.
It really doesn't matter, but why in the world would you do random page selection like that? Maybe that makes it super-easy from a SQL standpoint? But as demonstrated it does a terrible job of weighting pages evenly, when a tiny bit of code could make them completely equally likely.

And further, there's good arguments that they shouldn't be equally likely. Instead, rank articles by size, or popularity, so people are more likely to see articles that are reasonably interesting and full of content.
CPython is not really in a good position to change behaviour in incompatible ways and defend it by language lawyering, users expect the same code to mostly work in a backwards compatible way.

If there are no other factors then there wouldn't be a detectable change at 25 years of age. That was literally a statement that age (more realistically, social organisation in school vs the rest of society) is a factor. A bloke can't just go out and recreate a college environment at 30 for himself to socialise in - society is wealthy, but not wealthy enough for everyone to be a permanent student.

That doesn’t hold over time due to regression to the mean. For example, over half of white Americans are today are descended from Italian, Irish, German, Nordic, and eastern European immigrants who came to the US in poverty. This was before skilled immigration—half of German immigrants in the 19th century came as indentured servants. Today, these groups are economically equal to British descended Americans, many of whom came here as affluent landowners and obviously have been here much longer.
The point is combining these systems doesn't result in intelligence so such a combined system doesn't either, not that such combined systems are an exception to my point.

This is a controversial take for certain. I've seen various forms of the director's cut multiple times, but only saw the theatrical cut much much later (and only read the source material much later than that) and the movie is completely comprehendible without narration.

The narration is awful. It's unnecessary exposition. The mood and depth of the film without narration is practically unparalleled.

I'm curious what context the narration provides for you because I certainly remember none of it.

I rewatched Blade Runner yesterday and I don’t think I could disagree more. If anything, films from the 80s like BR were far more impressive and well made than anything coming out today. The level of minute details, background sounds, interesting lighting, etc. etc. is levels beyond any big budget film from the last decade.

Every time I watch something like the more recent 2049 BR or Dune films, I’m struck by how empty and boring it all feels. Everything today is too polished, too streamlined. It’s not organic or natural feeling at all.

Here are two clips to compare. The more recent film is typical of movies today: too digital, too clean, not enough movement or energy.

Haven't touched Mastodon myself. "Decentralized" reads to me as "fragmented, dependent upon randoms to uphold the infrastructure, interoperable to a degree but you'd better hope your 'home' server doesn't go down for any myriad of reasons because then you'll lose your profile and have to make another at another server, which in effect pushes people towards the Big Players like Mastodon's own server, kind of defeating the whole point and making the main selling point a layer of unnecessary added complexity that makes the platform(s) substantively worse, harder to use, and less attractive to the average joe."
