Even though I didn't keep the software maintained, I wouldn't be happy that sensitive member information (email addresses, login info) was leaked (unknown destination) by the community. I would feel some responsibility for that information getting out, and at least feel the need to reach out to past members and anyone using that data. If I wanted to be an "ass" then I would have taken harsher legal routes.

I would just scrape the site. I would even consider anonymizing names, as everyone should have the right to delete old content IMO.

After scraping, I would then watch the analytics. Anything which seems popular could then be given more attention. For example, I would probably create a design for the site itself, then create dedicated pages for anything popular. The pages could be curated "this is what you came for" and a link to the original pages.

Forums probably don't come back. You could start out with some minimal community features such as comments to see if anyone is willing to bite. A Discord server or similar could be another option. Kind of depends on the demographic I guess. Old people like forums. ;)

In case of multiple applicants, there is an auction that can happen as well. In reality, various applicants settled among themselves so there weren't many.

1/3rd of the amount raised from the fee (60k USD or so) was earmarked for a legal fees. Some of the money is being spent on a ICANN Grant Program: https://www.icann.org/grant-program-en

Many of the most painful technical problems are actually three business problems in a trenchcoat.

Sometimes too many people are too invested in the crazed/idiosyncratic way of doing things... and unless the humans can be convinced to fundamentally change their process, adding software will only give you... well, craziness with a computer.
Amazing. They're so realistic, I assumed it was done by some kind of plastication process applied to samples of real food. Hard to fathom that it's done by sheer artistic mimicry.

VDSO is designed for things that should be fast and are called often. There is absolutely no reason to call those functions often.

The only time your PID would change from a previous value obtained from that very same function is in the child, after a call to fork(), which is itself so heavy, that it would dwarf your calls to getpid

I often prefer webapps as well, for instance because I can open multiple pages to keep state I meant to come back to.

If your use of sudo featureset is minimal, it's true that doas can act as "reduced attack surface" replacement.

A CS degree also qualifies you for on-the-job training in writing code, that odious task that your professors find trivial but somehow are also terrible at it.
And this is what I'm curious about.

I can't imagine much of the original design would be left in the aircraft except for the overall shape of it. I'm guessing (remember now, basically zero aircraft development knowledge) that most tech has been updated to modern equivalents. Engines, controls, computers, ...?

So what would be changed in a complete overhaul of the aircraft?
You can check for amyloid plaques in an autopsy, but apparently plenty of old people that show no significant cognitive decline also have amyloid plaques.

So, while we would definitively call it Alzheimer's if you have significant cognitive decline + amyloid plaques, it's not 100% clear that this is a single diagnostic.
They said that a pcap could contain unwanted private info.

As did some elements of my own company, but business risks like those are not for fledgling public companies. To be honest, right now anyone in a _public_ company advocating for it at this stage of development should have all of their decision making power removed if not outright be shown the door.

That goes double if it's your CTO...which is exactly what ended up happening with us.

I'm not saying "no, never", but clearly "no, not right now".

I think some peeps are not reading this sentence the way you meant it to be read.

It seems to me you meant "I don't know what part of this research makes it especially hard to integrate into current solvers (and I would like to understand) ".

But people seem to be interpreting "why didn't they just integrate this into existing solvers? Should be easy (what lazy authors)".

Just trying to clear up some misunderstanding.
Nah, he’s got it right unfortunately.

A printer is never an “investment”, it’s always a “liability” because it won’t increase in value if you sell it.

A printer customer, however, is an asset because HP can always use new dirty tricks to squeeze more money out of you over time.

It’s a pedantic difference but it gets to the heart of how these MBA sociopaths see their customers; something to gouge.
Asmodee is hedgefund-owned French board game company. Drive by the injected money they have been 'consolidating' the board game publishing industry. For instance they bought the rights for Settler of Catan.

A lot of people fear that they will raise prices or reduce the offering to return money to the investors at some point.
A code generator needs neither hundreds of GPUs nor an internet access to work. Not having to train a code generator in ethically questionable ways is also a huge plus, too.
No he didn't. I'm adding to his statement. Saying it's kind of a meaningless statement as meaningless as saying a car can go faster then a plane if the plane isn't moving.

A hard working stupid person can accomplish more then a smart person if the smart person isn't working at all. This statement is as obvious and insightful as the statement about the plane. And it sort of obfuscates the fact that smart people have a huge advantage in the fact that they have to work less hard.

Additionally despite all of this, there's no magical thing stating that all smart people never work hard. Smart people may in many cases even work harder than stupid people.
> overall shape of it

That's the problem. It was designed for 60s-style boarding via air-stairs on the ground (rather than modern jetways from the terminal) so it's too low down. This requires doing funky things to fit modern, large, energy-efficient engines, starting with those weird flat-bottom cowlings and ending in moving the engines back and changing their angle, which changes the flight characteristics of the plane so much it needed MCAS to compensate.

> So what would be changed in a complete overhaul of the aircraft

The certification, meaning pilots would need re-training since it's no longer the same plane.

The MCAS thing clearly changed the plane so much it should have required re-training anyway, which is why the whole thing is so dumb.
GP's question is perfectly valid. It doesn't have to be called within a tight loop at all. It could be a latency sensitive routine for example. I can see at least a few real life applications where it would make sense to have the syscall vDSO'd.
When lives are at stake nobody wants corporate drivel.
The DeHavilland Comet was the first practical civil jet airliner ever produced. It literally invented the systems that were onboard. The 737 is a 60 year old design with a stellar safety record up to this point. It's not comparable at all. The only reason those planes fell apart is rotten management.
It really isn't. There are pockets of high levels of acceptance and varying levels of tolerance. Societies and governments can turn on marginalized groups frighteningly fast even with this level of acceptance and tolerance. There's a years-long campaign to outlaw public existence for trans people in the US that's spreading to other countries along attempts to outlaw teaching (even in library book form!) about the existence of queer people throughout the US.

Germany, and especially Berlin, were a lot like the US on queer rights and acceptance pre-WW2. The era's equivalent of a queer center was in one of those famous Nazi book burning photos.

But to answer your question: sometimes people outside China have friends and family in China. Sometimes they're not out to friends and family or at work the way they are online, and people have a way of leaking enough details to connect pseudonyms to legal names without meaning to. There are many ways to weaponize this knowledge.

One of the most interesting things about IBM i/AS/400 is its use of hardware memory tagging. There is a secret set of extensions to the PowerPC ISA which allows you to associate a tag bit with every 16 bytes of memory. This is used to implement a capability-based model where valid pointers can't be forged.

I write some more about it here:

Interestingly this functionality is actually unlocked on the Raptor Talos II/Blackbird systems so you can play with it in full.

Lets say my company has a SaaS product. AT&T is the customer to my company and i onboard them to my SaaS platform, now AT&T has a customer called "Dell" and AT&T wants to onboard Dell to this platform ; Essentially white-labelling

Parent- AT&T
Child - AT&T

[2] We have SaaS platform build like Backstage, Vmware Tanzu. We didn't wanted to build custom auth solution, this was a demand from customers who wanted granularity not just based on CRUD operations but based on environments, access to type of metadata, projects, other app-services

We had something called soft-multi-tenancy, where user "abc" can access namespace in k8s in cluster B, but not cluster A; because B (child) is inherited cluster from A (parent)

Examples of RBAC granularity

1. Write access to Namespace (can change, Namespace, pods, deployment and more .. based on k8s first class object)
2. Read access to Namespace
3. Write access to Pods
4. Read access to Pods

Just like this we had close to 20 RBAC granularity

I recommend you reading about RBAC, ABAC, RE-BAC, Soft Multi-tenancy ; companies who are building this loft.sh, rancher. Our solution was not focused RBAC at all, when we bough multi-tenancy it enforced us think through RBAC

I had a roommate from Mongolia who disliked beer with carbonation. I never understood the full story of why but he said it was better flat. He would show up with a sixpack, dispense half each can into Gatorade bottles, then shake them and leave them out for a few hours to go completely flat.

The carbonation in Guinness is a blend of CO2 and Nitrogen which creates the different bubbles. Some beers are carbonated in different ways and have a different feeling.
I don't really see that happening unless they make the C919 much more efficient. There's probably a market for Comac where Boeing and Airbus aren't allowed to sell due to sanctions or whatnot, but that's a separate issue.

I sort of evaluated Typed Racket before I started writing lots of Racket code, and my experience was that "Contract" Racket (regular non-Typed Racket) was more ergonomic and idiomatic. I think the contract system is great and I use it, for example, when sending messages to Interactive Brokers:

https://github.com/evdubs/interactive-brokers-api/blob/maste...

This file just includes request message definitions and to-string (->string) implementations.

The overall program's performance is adequate for me, so if the contract system is causing overhead, I don't particularly care about it. Maybe that's a scalability concern for more performance-demanding programs which could benefit from Typed Racket.
Mate, it's not, it's based on extraordinarily well understood theories around the how chemical bonds and the electromagnetic spectrum work. That is the theory behind the mechanism for anthropogenic climate change is based on exactly the same science that allows big chunks of the infrastructure of civilisation to work - that is, chemistry, quantum physics and arithmetic/accountancy.
ASK HN: How to study algorithms outside an academic context?
I tried learning algorithms during the past 10 years but I didn't bother taking it seriously because all the resources I used employed problems that are fun little puzzles but not practical in the real world.

My brain has trouble keeping interest, and retaining information about those.

Are there any resources where the author explains the algorithms well without using advanced maths, while also using real world problems as examples to cement the concepts?
There are plenty of places where you can get a plot of land for under $50k, and there are plenty of ways to live on it for under $30k. You can have a warm insulated shelter, with heat, and a little electricity from solar. You can set up a composting toilet. It would be better than many Americans had at the start of the 20th century. But it will be illegal. It will not be up to code. We have attempted to solve poverty by making it illegal not to have enough money.

Granted, there are people who cannot look out for themselves or be this self reliant. But the people who can, are not even left in peace to do it.

In Swedens capital region they failed with this too. It's dominated by a system that is largely quite well polished but has some scaling issues that has lead to down times. The region decided to develop their own in cooperation with other regions, but instead of just hiring two-three developers and putting them in a room inside some small hospital, they decided to make a Grand Political Project out of it.

Billions of Swedish crowns later, having written ZERO lines of code, they quietly cancelled the entire thing. This enormous boondoggle didn't even make the news because the waste was all man-hours and consultancy, and not a building or something the media found sexy.

I think a big problem is that politicians need Grand Political Projects to get reelected, but that's not how you build software. Or make meaningful small incremental improvements to science, infrastructure, schools, etc. The incentives are wrong...

Is it a scarce resource? For what it’s worth when the caching was removed from glibc it caused a performance problem in libsystemd which had a tight loop to detect when a process was forked. So while this may be true in many cases, there’s clearly cases where it’s not and your answer doesn’t explain why getpid isn’t a vdso.

I no longer recall the source, but the incidence of major (high cost) dental work at some point in a person's life is so high (80%?) as to be uninsurable. Which is to say even if you balance the cost across the entire population the premium is so high that it too is onorous to afford.
> ... but I think it’s a preferrable to pointing the finger at the people who wrote the procedures ...

It is better to point the finger at the people who wrote the procedures. Their work resulted in a system failure.

If the person doing the work is expected to second guess the procedures, then there was little point having procedures in the first place, and management loses all control of the situation because they can't expect people to follow procedures any more.

Sure the person involved can literally ask questions, but after they ask questions the only option they have is to follow the procedure, so there isn't much they can do to avert problems.
> In October 2005, John Mainstone and the late Thomas Parnell were awarded the Ig Nobel Prize in physics, a parody of the Nobel Prize, for the pitch drop experiment.

Embarrassing that the Ig Nobel prize has so little understanding of what valid science is. The awarders seem to be motivated by chasing the approval of very ignorant and biased people in the general public and the media.

I do not deny your experience and I saw many useful community notes before. It took me seeing this case to understand that it is actually a bad idea, for the reasons I mentioned (illusion of absolute truth while being open to manipulation & showing no history of controversy).

Also, it is not technically decentralized, it is Twitter (a centralized platform)… If it were truly fully decentralized, it would be vulnerable to such attacks even more, right? If you are up against a totalitarian government controlling the 2nd most populous country, there can always be more people who claim the false correction. There was a minority of people who got the correction fixed, and if it was actually decentralized then how would they be able to?
They do.. and usually turn to groups that are against the society that barraged them.

A lot of facilities run on a McDonalds type thinking when they should be looking at how In-N-Out is able to deliver a very similar product that is both dramatically better and either the same price or even cheaper. In-N-Out staff is well compensated, customers rate the institution as one of the most beloved in american life. McDonalds achieves neither of those things. What makes In-N-Out different? The difference is competence in operations. A lot of healthcare today delivers an inferior product at an inferior price, it doesn't have to be that way. A lot of people think that quality is only possible at an increased "price". A change in thinking is what is needed to achieve a change in quality (result/price).

Responding to the request below for a specific example. Hand washing, you wash your hands when medically appropriate to prevent facility acquired infections. If you don't you are progressively warned ultimately leading to termination and/or loss of license. If instituted nationally this alone would save at least 5,000 lives a year. Good luck getting it instituted at most facilities.

A different example, diesel fuel and generator maintenance is a meaningful part of medical facility physical plant. A shocking number of facilities place procurement responsibility and oversight of this in the hands of a doctor who also has medical responsibilities. The results are as financially and operationally disasterous as you would expect. Data centers have similar requirements. Who do you think pays more and operates better?

Formularies are a sort of default medication lookup table. Most organizations have one that was created decades ago by people who aren't with the organization anymore. Review and revise them with someone who understands both the medical/pharmacological aspects of the drugs involved as well as their costs. Win for doctors, win for patients, win for insurers, almost no one does this. They have some clueless administrator carry forward last years formulary with minor changes or alternatively have a medical professional with absolutely no idea what costs are involved do it.
