Why shouldn’t CS students learn how people build software?

If I have server under maintenance with Dell or HP, they would replace the server or component for me in such a case.

Which would probably be a lot faster than trying to find someone who could maintain some non-standard firmware (as good as it might be).

Even if I had to replace the server on my own cost it would probably still be cheaper. And it would be easy to replace because it's commodity hardware, that was kind of my point.

Show HN: GS-Calc – a spreadsheet with 12 million rows
A spreadsheet with 12 million rows, fast binary lookup functions with automatic internal background sorting of searched ranges, built-in Monte Carlo simulations, regex filtering and data transformations and with workbook (zip64) files of any size (4GB+).

Previously: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36044691

Now, among others, with 16K columns, MySQL .sql and SQLite3 .db file support.
For loaded text (csv, txt, tab, etc.) files you can specify the number of columns per worksheet (by default 16K) and files exceeding this limit (e.g. 32K) will be displayed in multiple worksheets then saved again as one continuous series of columns.
Files in all supported file formats can be opened, edited and saved in-place using the original "open" parameters without any conversions.
Customization is an option.

> The left pad issue was kind of wild coming from the enterprise Java space.

This may be a little off topic for this comment thread but this is a little misrepresentative. Hosted private repos for enterprise weren't exclusive to Java at the time of left pad - anyone doing enterprise node likely had one for npm too & were probably well prepared for the attack. Such enterprise setups are expensive though (or at least take a level of internal resources many companies don't invest in) leaving the vast majority exposed to both js & java supply chain attacks even today.
Wavelength vs height; the undersea earthquake tsunami has long wavelength but not a lot of height, but there is more water and force behind it so it's pushed further inland. These ones are like a big splash, high waves but not a lot of horizontal impulse in comparison.

It's important to notice that both of these initiatives happened when the company was facing downturns. It is easy to be a good employer when things are going great, not so much when things are not as rosy.

Add that to the Japanese working culture where tenure is merit, and staying in the same company is valued by employers in general.
Interstellar comes to mind, but I don't think those were 500 miles.
In my opinion we just haven't reached the tipping point yet. Very few cared about "smart" phones with touch screens until Apple came out with the iPhone. Other manufacturers like Nokia or HTC had devices with similar capabilities for years but consumers shunned them. The experience needs to be good enough for people to consider these devices - again Apple's headset could be the first to really establish the category.

I work in the fintech space. A few years back we started on a skunkworks project to see if XR technology has a place in our world, specifically around data analysis, storytelling and insight gathering - more specifically, would it add value beyond doing what people already can do today on monitors and not just be a cool 'gimmick' (though I realised does hold some commercial value in the eyes of our marketing team).

After dozens of conferences, lots of client demos, and feedback I am convinced it has a place in our world and we have a much better idea of what and how. The question is when and, in some ways, the hardest to solve for.

We could not have done a lot of this without Meta headsets as they were cheap enough to start with and easy to develop on and iterate so personally thankful are taking this long-term bet as it is helping the whole sector. We did contact Meta to see if they wanted to partner in some way or support us as its mutually beneficial but got nowhere, might be case of finding the right person given the vastness of the org.

I'm still not sure what confuses me more - that "gender reveal parties" are a thing in the first place, or that they tend to involve highly flammable or explosive substances for some reason.

Wasn't there recently one case where someone filled a large balloon with hydrogen instead of helium, which then exploded indoors?

EDIT: via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_reveal_party, so it really is a YouTube/TikTok challenge that got out of hand and is trying to become a thing...

EDIT 2: And to the surprise of no one, at least one manufacturer of high explosives is selling ready-made kits for those parties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tannerite#Uses.

EDIT 3: The list of notable incidents is full of people killing themselves or their family members with IEDs, and it also contains a surprising high number of plane crashes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_reveal_party#Incidents_... (and note it only covers examples from last 6 years). Honestly this feels like tales from some alternate bizarro reality.

In fact I watched that video 3 months ago when it first came out because I follow the movement quite closely.

The machine creator claims that "it is economically superior to just replacing the display" but those are just random claims anyone can make. Especially when only a couple copies of that machine actually exist right now.

> Nope, it’s just not repairing. Call it right to swap modules at home and you will have correctly named movement.

Look, your argument about repair being economically infeasible has at least some level of merit. But your argument about "replacing a part is not actually repair" shows a complete misunderstanding of English.

Just look at any dictionary:

- Merriam-Webster: "to restore by replacing a part or putting together what is torn or broken"

- WordsAPI: "the act of putting something in working order again"

- Google: "the action of fixing or mending something" (fix is defined as "a measure taken to resolve a problem or correct a mistake")

- Cambridge Dictionary: "to put something that is damaged, broken, or not working correctly, back into good condition or make it work again"

- Dictionary.com: "to restore to a good or sound condition after decay or damage"

Part replacement IS repair in ALL of these definitions because part replacement "restores the machine to working condition".

Yes, but... what is a "Cloud Computer"? Is it a "computer in the cloud", like e.g. an AWS EC2 instance? Or is it a fancy name for a good old fashioned server rack (on which you will probably want to run your own cloud, because everybody's doing that nowadays, hence the name), like in this case? And if it's a server rack, how come you don't need any cables? And what do you do with this "cloud computer"? Do they host it in their data center or deliver it to you? So there is some potential for confusion - nothing that can't be mostly cleared up by reading a bit further, but still...
It's quite real, although, in a sense, the word "digital" is just a decoy. What they offer (e.g., digital signing of documents and online access to bureaucracy) should really be the default in the EU (or at least available in every member state, interoperably).
I think it's something like - shipping management software with bare metal ?
I know you're probably being tongue in cheek, but yup. That would have happened already but for Zuck's control with his controlling class stock.
Basically, yes. There was a really nice article here in HN about it, I couldn't find it but hopefully someone will point at it.
Presumably if you are commenting here you work in a tech company, if it is immoral for a company to make money how do you justify working for one?
Yup. I've heard that the lack of easily navigable rivers and no coal to speak of caused more of an impact on china hitting industrial revolution before europe.
> It would also make its parts, tools, and repair documentation available to both non-affiliated repair shops and individual customers, "at fair and reasonable prices“.

not sure if this is related, but it looks like a step in the right direction.

That's what all console makers did to gain market share though. Sell cheap HW on the loss, then make it back on games sales. And VR tech is still expensive and not commoditized yet like consoles which are now just PCs.
It's a good keyword to search for a microwave that isn't the same $15 hardware as all of the other ones.

I don't care about the variable power, but found an "inverter" microwave without the rotating plate, which cooks evenly without it of course. It has more internal space and is easier to clean.
FWIW, they told me I would lose my entire Oculus library if I didn't change from a simple Oculus email login to a Meta account and all that entails (I'm a CV1 owner). Threatening the loss of a few hundred dollars of software unless I gave up my privacy definitely left a sour taste in my mouth. I didn't even care about the Quest, they just decided I wasn't going to be able to use my software anymore.
McAuley's recent output (Austral, War of the Maps, Beyond the Burn Line,) has been very good -- and I'd say that those three books are all equal in terms of literary and entertainment quality.

All of them are, in a sense, the same type of story -- Person Goes on Journey Through Strange Territory -- but that's a solid foundation for a science fiction novel, and McAuley does it well, with more than enough variation to keep things interesting. Austral has near-future climate fiction and crime fiction elements; War of the Maps takes place on a Dyson Sphere around a white dwarf star in an aged and dying universe; Beyond the Burn Line is a middle-distance cautionary tale about AI and, in a sense, religion...

McAuley has a novella in this month's Asimov which is also quite similar, and also very good. "Blade and Bone" is about the sole survivors of an annihilated infantry battalion as they make their way across a hostile Mars -- which has been terraformed but is reverting to a cold and dry baseline.

This kind of engaging hard SF is, emphatically, not appreciated by the people who vote on Hugo awards. So much the worse for them, I think...
It's similar to hyperscale infrastructure — it doesn't matter as long as it looks like a PC architecture from the OS running inside a VM. The layers and layers of legacy abstraction firmware, BMC, drivers BIOS, hypervisors you get with a typical on premise Dell/HP/SuperMicro/... server motherboard are responsible for a cold start lasting 20 minutes, random failures, weird packet loss, SMART telemetry malfunctions, etc.

This is the type of "PC architecture" cruft many customers have been yearning to ditch for years.

2013?

DirecTV 100% had self updating receivers by that point, I tried to figure out which ones were the first to get those, but they're not big on being open with info

The manual for the first receiver I remember being able to update itself says 2006, but I can't check if that's right

Edit: I did some digging around, DirecTV's RCA Receivers + Ultimate mention being able to update, and apparently those are from the early 2000's

The manuals are something else, in the internet capable models there are sections on using your TV as an Email client or making your own website
to me it's clear, if a private business sells a technology service that is being used in a war, the adversary is going to see that action as hostile and use powers within their means to neutralize the threat. I'm not sure you're using the word "conspiracy theory" correctly.
Diligence is fine, but only if the goals you are diligently working towards are in bounds for scrutiny.

They don't have to be your goals, but if you don't occasionally consider that they might be worth opposing then you're creating a safe space for evil, which is something to be ashamed of even if evil never grows there.

Yellow (always supplies power) was non standard, as was green. Would have been nice if that was included in an addendum to the USB spec though.
While I know this is a bit crass to say, there was a time where people just knew how long things took, via internal clocks.

Old cloaking itself as new.
Don't forget since C++ 20 all programs which rely on a concept but don't fulfill the (unchecked) semantic constraints of that concept are ill-formed. This allows C++ to truthfully say that C++ programs have the same properties as Rust programs in this regard, because although most real world C++ may fail those constraints and they aren't checked, as a result those aren't technically C++ programs at all so the fact they're broken and don't do what their programmers expected is magically not the fault of C++ even though the compiler seemed fine with it.

That’s a fascinating article, thanks for sharing!

To be sure, it’s intriguing to watch humans poison themselves just the right amount to feel drunk or injecting themselves with a little bit of virus to become immune to a full dose of one. It’s almost like an exploit in real life biology.
I believe-as a few other commenters have pointed out and you allude to, the advantage is that it can be configured and operated like a massive set of cloud VM’s. There’s monitoring, provisioning, network, etc etc all setup and fully integrated.

I imagine colo’s have something like this, but I _suspect_ operationally it’s a lot more powerful, easy to use and functionally closer to the API’s and behaviour users are used to on current cloud providers.

Now, if someone who actually knows for sure feels like chiming in, I’m happy to be corrected.
I think at this point it makes sense. I imagine most consumers aren’t interested in repairing themselves, but aren’t super interested in going to some random local repair shop. At this point they have their consumers hooked on visiting the Apple Store. Not really a net loss for them, plus it gives off the appearance of being consumer friendly.
When you have 30 engineering teams all using different parts of the platform and your Product team is crushing your whole org with their aggressive roadmap, you will no longer feel like GCP policies are reasonable.

When everything takes 20% longer to ship than you planned because every other week some random team(s) is forced to do unplanned, immediate rewrites by a vendor, that vendor starts to look like a dick and also a huge liability to your business.

Also Google's own documentation is full of grenades. Just yesterday I found in their GKE docs something they tell you is the default and you must use it...except it doesn't apply to clusters created a few versions ago, even if they're updated, because they didn't roll their change out to existing clusters -- just new ones created after their change.

Also google's docs reflect their deprecation policy -- there is no document versioning. You can always and only see latest.
I would guess that a sacrifice is made to please some Other with powers mere mortals don't possess, like a deity or a spirit, and a ritual would be a more general term for a spiritual tradition without necessarily pleading to a higher power. But what do I know.

The strategy to not care about gaming today because it won't be dominant in the future is hard to understand.

Given that we will spend all our days in VR in 10 years or so, who will own that space?

The company that designs future products today and only needs to sit on it for a decade until the technology and human society have caught up?

Or the company that goes all in on VR gaming, a technology that exists today, and completely owns that space until the technology is mature enough to branch out beyond gaming?
Is your argument that SpaceX has succeeded despite Elon, not in large part due to Elon?

Heata: Harnessing Heat from Cloud Compute
The Meta verse is an impossible dream. Thinking a single company will own it is like thinking a single company could own multiplayer gaming, cloud documents, and remote work. It’s an impossible, absurdist maximalist goal that I don’t see how any company could fully deliver on.

Hardware is just hardware. Apple builds hardware that then becomes an ecosystem. Reality Labs was trying to build the hardware AND the ecosystem AND the apps.

This on top of an unworkable concept for Human Computer Interaction - Virtual Reality - which consumers have already rejected over and over again. There will be no consumer market VR headset because the concept is fundamentally alienating.

I suspect there are a lot of people on the spectrum in IT who seem convinced that somehow this is a tech problem. IT IS NOT, nor will it ever be. Getting in a VR headset and being in a reality where no one else is ever there, nor will they ever be (in the next 10-20 years, there is no tech that reliably emulates full body capture, not to mention touch and smell, two key parts of the human experience) is fundamentally unpleasant for the general public, because the general public, quite correctly, places a very high level of reward to being around other people, co regulating emotions, reading body language, and kissing and having sex.

Since none of that is mapped into VR, the concept of a general use VR OS with a consumer market is fundamentally dystopian and perhaps even physiologically and psychologically unsafe.

Having said that - I have worked in VR since 2014 and anyone in their right mind will tell you that Reality Labs was a dumb idea. There is not, and there won’t be for a very long time, any mass consumer market for VR (billions of units) because VR is anti human, anti connective and is most likely bad for people if they use it for long hours.
Of course - every pay as you go service that goes above a certain amount of utilization will be better replaced with up front investment. But that doesn't mean that the opex model is bad in general; you've just only picked cases where it's bad.

It costs a lot of money to hire and onboard people. Especially now since tech wages have gone up over last few years and existing employees are probably cheaper and onboarded.

So it doesn't make sense that Meta would lay people off and rehire others just for fun. They can be greedy or sadistic, not both. Its pretty obvious they use layoffs to get rid of poor performers and divisions they don't want to invest in any more.
It's still a step in the right direction.

Right now, some repair shops (e.g. Louis Rossmann) have had to buy broken laptops and scavenge components in order to make repairs.
