The novelty in the iPhone wasn't a touchscreen, it was a capacitative multitouch screen and a UI framework that could do their app designs but still at 60fps.

Although the last one wasn't purely technical; IIRC Nokia got it, decided it was cool "because it was 60fps", tried to compete just by doing that and failed.

Yeah they did. There wasn't that much KHTML in there at that point.
Or maybe he knew, but pretended that he didn't. Lines are a waste of time, and serve little purpose besides punishment. Writing code is a much better use of that time.

If I was a teacher, I think that's how I would react. The next punishment would be handwritten though, or something else, you only get one shot with that trick.

I admit that in the early 80s, most teachers were not very savvy with computers, so it is possible that he really believed your brother typed it all. But also keep in mind that teachers are pretty good at smelling bullshit, and it is pretty obvious that when pupils do things in an unusual way, it is not to make it harder on themselves, so he probably knew that there was some trick and just let it pass. I mean, these are just lines, nothing worth persecuting clever kids for.

witness statements are frequently collaboratively written/edited and then signed by the witness...

Ceph has an interesting history.

It was created at Dreamhost (DH), for their internal needs by the founders.

DH was doing effectively IaaS & PaaS before those were industry coined words (VPS, managed OS/database/app-servers).

They spun Ceph off and Redhat bought it.

I think he is generally consistent here: he wants papers with flawed proofs to be retracted, and he does not want papers to be rejected for not being sufficiently significant (if they are otherwise correct).
There have been significant changes in culture and (at least perceived) job stability in the past two years specifically. See the significant layoffs in early 2023 and the surprising and completely unnecessary layoffs that just happened a week ago. Transparency about decision-making is now basically non-existent. The literal only communication from the CEO was that there will be more layoffs.

Travel budgets are also non-existent now.

All in all, it's still a good job. But it is significantly worse that before, and the trajectory does not seem great.

Always book directly with airlines. You'll almost never find a cheaper price from a third party, unless you are a corporate traveler with negotiated agreements through a corporate travel agency. Airlines will often only let the third party who bought the ticket change it, so you have to go through them and often pay a fee if something goes wrong. It's the opposite with hotels. For airlines, use third party sites only to find routes and estimated prices, then see what the cost is to book directly with the airline. Google Flights is usually the best search engine for most people, but don't clickthrough the links to book directly with the airlines. ITA Matrix is the backend to Google Flights and if you're a HNer, you'll appreciate the power interface.

> visit the site twice and they bump up the price

This is a myth, at least for flights. Flight prices normally go up the closer to the date. They almost never go down as you get closer to the date. So there will be many cases where you visit a site at one time and see one price, then if you visit it at a later time, your expectation should be that the price has increased. But the price would have gone up anyway. Also, airlines do use # of tickets already sold to set prices, and so you should expect that as time moves forward, it is likely someone had the same idea of going from city A to city B as you on that same date, and they bought their ticket.

It's the same kind of myth as "I was talking about this thing with my friend and then later saw a targeted ad for it, so they must be listening to my microphone." No, they know you're interested in that product or that there is increased demand for that flight from data collected elsewhere.

These are not tests generated from patterns. You may be asked e.g. to solve an applied problem you've never heard of or to sketch a proof to a given (simple) lemma you've never proved before.

OTOH, you are not supposed to solve every problem in the exam, so perhaps you can get the best grade even if you skip all the problems where there's no pattern to apply. In that case, that's a loop hole which the exam creators should plug.
It's funny how AI/automation discussions are dominated by a jobpocalypse but when the topic is demographics or (god forbid) putting down the retirement age suddenly it's a lack of workerpocalypse and "quick, find some immigrants!"

There is a glaring contradiction there that I think has more than a little to do with the way capital dictates the shape of modern political discourse.

I also think we are being subtly prepared not for a crisis of demography or a crisis of automation but instead a crisis of oligarchy.

> digital signals have to propagate through multiple layers of logic gates, so the transistors have to switch much faster

I don't think this is accurate. Are you saying that in digital computers each individual transistor switches faster than the clock rate of, say, 3 GHz? I think there is one clock signal that is distributed to all transistors and they turn on/off synchronously at this rate. The GHz number on the processor advertisement is the switching rate of all transistors, not some hypothetical 'system rate' which would somehow be much lower?? Please clarify or correct me if I am mistaken.
fair enough, it seems I was mistaken about the NIC. I guess that has to wait for PCIe 6 and should arrive soon-ish.

Your coworkers can 100% be your friends what the hell man. You must be very unpleasant to be around if you refuse to make friends with any of the people you spend most of your waking hours dealing with. The key is making friends with coworkers who are a similar level of seniority to you who you get along with. My job isn't preventing me from having friends or family outside work at all, but I choose not to be miserable and antisocial for the majority of my waking day. Most people make friends at work, school or at sports teams. It's not weird to like making friends at work. I dunno how my job could be preventing me from making friends elsewhere but yeah its hard to spontaneously make friends in other settings when you don't naturally see the same people regularly.

But my main point in the above comment was that I don't have the morale to do shitty work to make a corporation rich unless I have human connection with my team. I don't value any fucking corporation enough to lift a single finger for them. It's only having other humans around me that makes work feel at all bearable to do.
The razor doesn't apply to the police.
On a more serious note, I’m really wondering about the motivations. I see the following hypothesis:

1) Test/demonstration of a DDOS against a random target.

2) Attack against a project hosted on sourcehut to make it unavailable (there was even the speculation of disabling a master repository so an end-user could not check that his own local version was the correct one, thus using it with a security hole or a trojan)

3) Attack against a page hosted on sourcehut (I joke that someone wrote "Putin = Fag" on his sourcehut hosted blog).

4) What else ?

I have always viewed the push for "subscriptions" as a business model by so-called "tech" companies with suspicion. Looks like it was warranted.

Forgetting to cancel is part of the scheme. A friend of mine once worked briefly for a direct marketing company many, many years ago, pre-www. He said they knew a certain percentage would forget to cancel. They banked on it.

>monopolies extract economic profit (contrast, accounting profit) by artificially constraining quantity supplied such that the price is higher than the marginal cost of production.

Market warping commodity monopolies are rare, due to regulation. Proving them takes a lot more than a neo-communist rant. Modern monopolies are most often predicated on IP. Protecting them is protection of the global market for their goods, which in turn protects the all-important trade-balance as well as GDP. IP protection is not cartelization / price fixing.

>Because I'm not putting in more effort if my counterpart refuses to

You responded to me by inventing a strawman argument and then basing a rhetorical question on it that, in turn, justifies itself by assuming the strawman. I'm not your counterpart nor did I ask you to participate. Your particiaption should be self-evidently valuable if you want to be considered a participant in a debate. Your mode of response was not valid. Ie: if you respond to a statement with a false strawman and a question that assumes that it is correct, then expect that to be called out.

> I'm not going to dignify the "economically globalist society" part with a response

No one asked you for a response. I could care less if you respond, but will point out the flaws in your response if you do.

Incresing internal wealth is always predicated on importation of foreign currency. This is why sanctions work to impoverish nations, in spite of possession of valuable items like oil. Nations can sell their production internally all they like. They'll remain third world hellholes without an export market.

It largely boils down to the same reason scientists classify animals into taxonomies. It helps to have a framework for classifying the groups so you can refer back to them in the future.

Going back to my example with taxonomies: Yeah, you got bit by a spider, but exactly which kind of spider bit you? What do we know about those kinds of spiders, e.g. are they known for being venomous or not, does their bite have a well-known reaction in humans, etc.

> Was ancient Egypt capitalist and the pyramids a commercial enterprise?

Slave Labor is difficult to beat, eh? This is a strange way to make a point about government spending vs. commercialism.

The overall point was the incentive for someone to make a profit is what motivates many if not all of the risky endeavors. If governments were solely in charge of launching rockets, then there would be no push by SpaceX to develop cheaper alternatives (and therefore win contracts, therefore make money).

The government being solely in charge of any particular industry has rarely if ever resulted in innovations and ultimately a better service/product. The incentives are just not aligned under those circumstances.

That’s just like how technically the sfpd hands out a couple tickets per day, it’s not meaningful enforcement. It’s splitting hairs to call that enforcement.

The entire traffic enforcement division hands out an average of about 10 tickets in its entirety for the whole city per day.

My dad was a part-time janitor at my high school and I was in my teens before I realized that sometimes people got more than a single gift for Christmas, but I'm also able to talking about this without resorting to ad hominem and calling people privileged jerks for having a different opinion or calling wealthy family members jackasses while simultaneously taking their money.

Is it a human right to live in a $1500/mo apartment? Is it a human right to live within a short commute of your workplace? Is it a human right to have your salary increase commensurate with inflation or your increase in costs when you're doing the same job from 5 years ago?

When someone says "be better with your money" they're not telling you that your $15/hr job should cover your $1500/mo rent, they're telling you that you shouldn't be living in a $1500/mo apartment on $15/hr. I'm willing to bet a lot of them have no idea just how little $15/hr is, though.
Oh, yes, the world hit that was Minitel. I remember it well.

It was a British contractor who created the web; the TCP/IP protocol was invented in the USA. Not saying the English-speaking countries have a monopoly on innovation, but the VC ecosystems and the idea-to-market fast track that exists in the US does not exist in the EU, yet. A lot would need to change for that to become a threat to the US.

On your other point, funny accents and non-American names can be found in all scientific and technology fields, but generally more often in the US than the EU, because that country was actually build by immigrants whereas the EU is very much set in the old ways and prefers locals.

I admire Drew's work and SourceHut, but I wonder if choosing colocation instead of a cloud provider, and not adopting modern cloud tooling hurt the recovery time.

The article mentions how setting up SourceHut from scratch is a complex undertaking with hundreds of small tasks. Some of those are understandable, especially given the amount of data they surely handle, but setting up a complete environment and restoring from a backup should be a simple and mostly automated procedure, not a gargantuan undertaking that needs to involve the entire team several days. There are always difficulties when production is down, and you're trying to restore a full system while undergoing a DDoS attack, I get that, but the reason we have modern cloud providers and tooling is to make creating new environments as painless as possible. It seems foolish not to take advantage of that.

I'm not a fan of Kubernetes either, but it's good that they're experimenting with it. Hopefully it leads to quicker deployments if this happens again.
