https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/ works much better for astronomy than google scholar, my search query was "starlink" and limited to astronomy papers.

My research is theory (not directly affected), so most of my background on this has come from grumblings over beers and the occasional talk (so I'm not really in the loop). Satellites (and other forms of interference such as RFI) have always been a problem for some groups (basically, anyone with long exposures, wide exposures or working with faint sources, it all comes down to the probability of a satellite appearing in the field of view mixed with how bad that is), but it's the massive increase in numbers plus the move over the last ~10 years to looking for transients (LSST is the poster child here, but there are lots of others) that have made it a more community-wide issue.

Other groups have been mentioned (I recall Amazon being mentioned), but the "focusing on Starlink" thing might be a reflection of what pop-science reports, and what's actually able to be measured being published.
It's indeed horrible when debugging. OTOH, there's merit to the idea that better testing means less overall time spent (on either testing or debugging), so design choices that make testing easier provide a gain -- provided that good tests are actually implemented.

Not only MITM traffic, but also run arbitrary software since it could also govern code signing.
Sorry, that sucks. Maybe I just got lucky then.
I have found that a reboot has freed up purgeable space when the CLI commands fail to do so. Very frustrating to need to reboot solely because your filesystem seems to be holding disk space hostage.
Yeah, probable. Unless that loophole was regulated, which seems doable.
How many Americans are there in Mexico, and how many Mexicans are in the United States of America? Bonus points if you compare "legally" and "illegally" separately! I think that there's a lot of Americans that would take the "everyone goes back home" trade in a heartbeat.

(Complaining about tourists is a time honored tradition among locals everywhere, of course - it's just a bit ironic to me here)

Good luck!

The reality is that this was a lot more relevant 10 years ago; today, new code is much more likely to use GCM or Chapoly than to generically compose a cipher mode with (hopefully) an authenticator.
Someone browses r/TIL.

Apparently someone across the pond (in Europe?) didn't know the US doesn't use the A0 paper system.

And then, other people who knew the A0 paper system didn't realize the beauty of it using √2 ratio.

Weird thread there.
Its common sense: anything passed in registers(preloaded due spec execution)

Under some developing models by long covid researchers, they believe that with enough of a "viral load" of persistence in your body(or different areas of your body), it can be the difference of being asymptomatic and symptomatic.

Might be worth looking at https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7232a3.htm which is more aligned to what this study researched.
I think it's a time-wasting game (personally, I'm ready to play that game with all those companies). I think that finally those companies will quit that game before we do. Reason: the number of those companies is much less than the number of people looking for jobs. For example, if I waste 30 mins applying for a job, doing interviews at company X, then that company X must waste at least 15 mins to process my application and conduct an interview.

Ask HN: Is a regular developer blog desireable in a B2C SaaS product?
I'm in the process of starting a B2C SaaS product; and I'm debating on sharing regular updates about decisions I'm making, struggles I'm having, etc. Part of me is interested in using this product as a potential portfolio for my skills, in the event that the product doesn't take off, so maybe there's value in relaying what I've done and am working on, etc?

But also, nothing of my product can be bought yet - in fact, I'm still working on the prototype to share with friends to get their opinion on, etc, so it would be a blog on an under construction website, which doesn't sound great either.

Thoughts? I'd love to get knowledge and feedback here, I'm very new to all of this! Well, old dev, new marketer.
In poker, all the players are profitable to the house. I think it's up for debate whether it's good for poker rooms to get rid of winners, but if there was a benefit, it would be an indirect benefit, not a direct one.
Money is power and the supply is finite. The disproportionate amount of money that CEOs make compared to the average worker is basically enabling modern day kings when you factor in political influence of money. It’s what is fueling continuous wealth inequality levels which keep being broken.
The coolest thing to me was watching it do laundry in the video it takes a jacket and puts it on a hanger and then zips the jacket. Watching it get the zipper was pretty satisfying.

It’s also amazing that there’s just instructions and it’s open to anyone. Kudos to the builders. They sauté shrimp, do laundry, and wash dishes with this robot you can build at home.

If that isn’t cool I don’t know what is.
> Almost every time anyone mentions DNSSEC here on HN, you pop up like a jack-in-the-box to claim that nobody is using it and that it is dead. And it’s always you, nobody else.

Yup.

> You might have some valid criticism about the cryptography; I would not be able to judge that (except when you are basing it on wildly outdated information).

Yes—context matters. Unless someone knows the details of how DNSSEC works, they wouldn't necessarily recognize how disingenuous chronic DNSSEC detractors often are.

In addition to DANE, I'd also add SSHFP [1], another protocol enabled by DNSSEC that addresses SSH's default trust on first use (TOFU) issue in a pretty straightforward way.

Anyone new just has to read "For DNSSEC And Why DANE Is Needed" [2], where the author debunks the talking points that DNSSEC detractors often use. There's often a hint of truth to these talking points but the reality is more nuanced than they would lead you to believe.

I'm an autodidact so this chaffed at me too. But I have met people who've gone in a very strange direction by assembling a syncretic set of ideas plucked from different schools of thought, and ended up with something that was kinda nuts. And operating from this nutty set of principles sometimes lead them to make bad decisions, and made it very difficult to communicate with them.

I don't know think having guidance from a teacher is the only way to avoid that, but I think without feedback from others in some way it's really easy to start believing your own bullshit.

An interesting take for sure. Having worked with libwebrtc on multiple occasions I've found it pretty hard to separate from the Chrome build toolchain. Especially if you're doing server work there are pure Go and pure Rust implementations that work great.
> Unless that loophole was regulated,

Regulation is always jurisdiction-dependent and the world has LOTS of jurisdictions. As we can see today, some of the EU's laws have lead to some US-based sites simply blocking all visitors from the EU[^1]. Further jurisdiction-dependent regulation will lead to yet more fragmentation of the internet.

[1]: for example, i was recently blocked from getting a copy of my divorce decree from the St. Louis, Missouri government site. Similarly, my wife (not the one on the divorce decree!) cannot access her US-side mobile phone provider's website from outside the US, so has to have a US-side family member deal with paying that each month.

In my country (Paraguay) traditional formats were U.S. Letter and "Oficio" (which I shall explain). Now we are slowly transitioning to ISO paper sizes so A4 size is becoming common and widespread. In my case (as an official translator) I have standardized all my practice to A4 sizes.

Now, a holdout is the "Oficio" size, which created a lot of problems for us. This size is usually described in printer drivers as Fanfold or Long Bond, and it is very similar to U.S. Legal size, but one inch shorter in its length (8.5 × 13 in, 216 × 330 mm). South American paper mills often call it "Oficio 2". This was, and still is in many regards, the required format for all official bureaucratic and court paperwork.

This created a lot of trouble for us because in most Spanish localizations companies (example: Microsoft in MS Office) simply translated the "Legal" paper size as "Oficio". Then every secretary and clerk here selected it believing it is "our" Oficio, only to find that text was cropped at the bottom because that "Oficio" was in fact one inch longer than our format. This led to all kinds of manual (mis)formatting.

I think this format had a German origin and came to us through old Spanish practices, but I can't be sure.

Again, thankfully this is becoming a thing of the past since A4 is slowly becoming the standard...

EDIT: That paper size is also known as "US Government Legal" and "Foolscap" and according to Wikipedia is still in use in various parts of the world.

You are correct in your points, I'd just like to add some more info.

The bitstream format is an obstacle but can be reversed. It's already been done for the Xilinx 7 series, lattice ecp5, and others.

However, that does NOT solve the actual main problem - timing models.

Timing models are huge databases hundreds of megabytes for a single FPGA that provides exact routing delays and propagation delays for groups of functional gates in the fabric. They are developed over months of painstaking analysis, debugging and tooling by the vendor.

Timing models are what let's you say "please make this IP run at 166mhz" and the fitter knows exactly how hard to work placing and connecting LUTs so that is possible.

Then, the timing analyzer will check the maximum frequency of that clock domain and ensure, using the timing models, that the specified frequency can be reached at all 4 process corners (PVT).

A typical design will have usually anywhere from 5 to 30 clock domains.

So if you have no support for the timing model, you effectively are not able to ever optimize your fitting process, and you have no idea if your FPGA will have its state machines explode when it gets a bit warmer than ambient.
General rule of thumb: if it's been banned, it's useless for the signatories. Ex: chemical weapons, but also biological weapons, land mines, and cluster munitions. Note that land mines and cluster munitions are still actively being used, especially in Ukraine, and the countries that signed onto the ban largely got rid of those systems well before the ban was signed.
Was this converted by hand or by using some vectorizer? Really impressive!

My only problem with Bluey is actually a problem with the Disney+ app on my Vizio TV. The episodes are all fairly short, but then there’s like 5m of credits before the next episode starts and it’s kind of annoying to manually fast forward through them via remote. I often reach for stuff on Netflix just so the next episode will auto play after a few seconds instead of requiring actual manual intervention to keep the little ones out of my hair while making dinner.

There is a company that kinda does this with online gambling.

Basically has you signup for a bunch of online casinos to get the sign-on/referral promos, but say you're an undercover "tester" for the casino.

Best I can tell, they'll ask you to open up a fresh bank account and coinbase account and they'll fund your buy-ins through USDC that you withdraw yourself. Casinos generally require some amount of play to get the bonus/commissions, so you're "testing" the functionality by playing slots (or they just takeover or remote-coach you on doing it). For sports, it's easy to coordinate off-setting bets that cancel each other out in aggregate at a slight loss. When spread across accounts, this won't be detected.

They probably earn some referral fees on the coinbase and bank account signups too.

It seems you do get paid for the work: they appear too above-board to have virtually zero victim complaints (like actual corporate year-ends on UK's Companies House, corps, mgmt that seem to be real people) and the fraud is just against the casinos. They'll subtly suggest you keep some payment at some of the casinos to withdraw or play, because if you play, the referrer often gets a cut of your losses.

Nice way to get "natural" looking signups and geographically diverse signups that are hard to detect.

I got an invite on Linkedin, and I had a bit of trouble trying to figure out the scheme, so there you have it. Didn't do the "interview" but it was surprisingly polished. Big money in gambling and Customer Acquisition Cost is huge.
How to Revive Wassailing
I formerly used gradle extensively, and ultimately concluded it's chalk full of footguns. Since any step can do anything it wants, things easily become a mess. Extremely flexible, and prone to slow or problematic stuff making it into build.gradle. It's too generic-generic and meta.

New major gradle releases tend to break a lot of stuff which is a lot of work for the full-time expert build engineer you're going to need on hand to maintain the thing for medium or large sized projects.

Now I prefer to stick with Maven, it's simpler, safer, super predictable, and gets the job done just fine. Actually, the job is done better because it involves less headaches and time wasted on figuring out the damn build system.

Case in point: The length of the README in this "Modern gradle" reference repo - that's a lot of complexity just to get dependencies, compilation, tests, and packaging. I prefer to copy-pasta some XML fragments and move on to solving the high ROI business-value issues.

Edit: @bcrosby95 sir, if it were Maven only, you could shrink the document by ~75%, because most of the bullet points are trying to explain the sharp edges of.. gradle.

All my love to all of you folks, goodnight!
In the NLRB filings, the workers charged that Google controlled all aspects of their work, not simply set RTO policies or sick days, which made them a joint employer. Both sides presented their evidence. The NLRB ruled that what the workers were correct in this claim. It’s all in the filings. What you highlight was only part of what the union claimed as evidence of the misclassification, as a comment on the article, not the entirety of what was reviewed and adjudicated. I’m not sure why you’re trying to misrepresent and diminish the situation in this way.
It depends how prolific they are. Someone running a winning bot farm is taking more money from the losers than the house would be if the losers kept winning/losing against each other. This assumes that the house wants losers to win alot to stay addicted. If they just get beaten all the time they might quit sooner, they may also run out of money sooner.

A bit like how lottery tickets costing $1 will make you win $1, $2 etc. prizes so you buy another ticket and so increase the revenue (a percentage of which is profit), the same for the house. 2 losers winning money off each other all night means they both lose and gave lots of money to the house. A winner taking the 2 losers money in a fell swoop means a lot less money for the house.
I agree. I’m from Europe and being trimmed to metric through and through. My main issue with the us or imperial units is not so much the conversion factors and weird rules. It’s the simple fact that I have no feeling how hot or cold a given temperature is, how long or short a given measurement etc. Just being exposed to the system and trying to live with it helps. Sure one still converts all the time mainly to get a familiar value to compare too. But after a while that doesn’t really matter. In the end it’s mostly important if for example is 80F a warm day or not? Is 1,5miles a long walk? Etc.
Sure adding ease of use when calculating with units is a different thing. But I understood that woodworkers etc like to measure in 8th/1000th of an inch. Something I would need to be exposed for years to be able to do.
A server view model is server side state.

A website (or a mobile app) is not a single application running on a distributed framework (in most cases).

It is two applications.

The question is usually: how complicated is the client application?

Is it a thin layer that simply renders server state? Or does it have it own inherent state (like “this component is currently in a dragged state”)?

All I’m saying is; if you want rich fluid client behaviour, you’re fooling yourself if you think any kind of hybrid “server only” approach is the best.

It’s not.

You cannot beat native apps for functionality.

What you can do, is write apps more quickly and easily… and perhaps they will be better and more functional for the effort you put in… but ultimately, a well made, well structured native app (be it browser or desktop or mobile) is fundamentally able to do more, with less latency, than a server driven application.

It’s just about where you put effort in, and what final end result you want at the end.

It’s just easier and less complex to drive everything from the server.
> Errors happen in response to conditions that occur during the execution of the application. Exceptions happen in response to conditions that occurred when the code was written.

wat.

You have code that ends up dividing by zero, and boom, you have an exception while the app is running.

> It is highly unlikely that you want to handle an exception.

You always want to handle an exception. That is how actual resilient systems are written
This is like a modern version of the red headed league
A hash of the plaintext isn't an authenticator; it doesn't have a key, so anybody can compute the hash of an intended plaintext. The CTR cipher by itself is very malleable; if you know a run of plaintext characters, you can rewrite it to anything with XOR:

https://cryptopals.com/sets/4/challenges/26

You could CTR-encrypt a message, and then use a hash function in an HMAC construction. HMAC takes a secret key, so an attacker can't compute the HMAC of some other message and swap it in. CTR+HMAC is pretty common, though it's a design smell in a modern system, virtually all of which use AEADs rather than hand-rolled ("generic composition") systems.
That's about padding (in CBC), IIUC. There was no padding in what I wrote. If you believe what I wrote is vulnerable to that could you explain how?
I love these kinds of anecdotes thank you for sharing!
Assuming that their union is legally recognized:

Their existing work arrangement is agreeable to Google. If the employees wish to continue with their existing work arrangement, only as a union, and then Google chooses to reject that, then that is sufficiently strong evidence that Google is rejecting their demand purely due to the existence of a union. That is illegal according to current US law.

If they declare that they are not rejecting due to the existence of a union, then there is sufficiently strong evidence that they are not engaged in "honest dealing" as they are being dishonest with their motives. To engage in "honest dealing" with those facts either requires them to honestly disclose they are rejecting due to the existence of a union (which would be illegal), or extremely compelling extenuating circumstances showing why their existing work arrangement is now, coincidentally, untenable.
Let's be honest, the headline is meant to be clickbait.
