Nitpick, but "List X" means somewhere that holds classified material, not somewhere that doesn't appear on maps. In fact for many List X sites it would surely be a dead giveaway if there was a gap on maps where it ought to be!

According to Wikipedia and other sources [1], the BT tower was on maps (at least OS maps) anyway.

And that function is that (for example) on a big Navy ship with thousands of sailors, the "lower ranks" might never have laid eyes on the commanding officer ("CO") or executive officer ("XO") but need to recognize him/her if s/he shows up unannounced and alone in a workspace — following the old nuclear-Navy rule that "you get what you INspect, not what you EXpect."

We also no longer have as clear a signal that can be used to get high-IQ people to associate with each other then move into jobs that benefit from a very high IQ. Although on the other hand the idea that military officer intelligence is dropping (as presented in the article) is pretty concerning. If there is one place we want unusually high IQ it'd be there.

It is interesting to look at history and see how episodes of progress often require little clusters of geniuses to make them work. In the worst case, it might be harder to set that up now. Although it is hard to tell. Maybe it'd be good to normalise just testing IQ directly if that isn't already a thing.

It also, IIRC has a special exemption in which unlike almost all buildings its elevators are for use in fires. In a typical building the notices tell you emphatically you should not use elevators if there's a fire, you should all use the stairs which are rated to handle the entire population of the building leaving in a timely fashion. But (if I'm thinking of the right tower) the BT Tower was specified so that the only effective way to evacuate the building during a fire is with elevators, for which purpose those elevators are rated differently.

I'm a bit disappointed with the author's lack of knowledge around culture. The "slow traditional culture" to "fast traditional culture" to "dopamine culture" is incoherent.

Same with the "Courtship / Sexual Freedom / Swiping on a Dating App". Courtship was essentially a mechanism that functions not unlike a modern dating app. I was following until he made these claims.

Me, knowing my own code: "isn't easily replaceable without a significant rewrite"

You, knowing absolutely nothing about my code: "you should be able to migrate it to Swift 5 before lunch time"

(In this respect, yours is such a sterotypical HN comment. "I could build [whatever] over a weekend.")

Moreover, even if your baseless, overconfident assertion were true, it's now about 6 hours until lunch time, and I'd rather not waste that time on a free hobby project just to make the damn Swift compiler happy.

> that closes the door to most of the new APIs that are being added by Apple, which seems like a very steep price to pay

I haven't needed anything that requires Swift, so there's been no price paid. I'm doing great. No problems! Swift proponents seem to have to tell themselves that I'm suffering in some way by continuing to use Objective-C, but I'm not suffering at all.

Regardless of language, I usually avoid new Apple API, because it tends to be half-baked and buggy.
Heh, typo, but thanks. That's what I get for writing HN comments before my required daily coffee intake.
It is still in experimental stages, but would you be willing to test the memory mode of Echion? (https://github.com/P403n1x87/echion). It is essentially tracing of all memory allocations. Mind that, if an allocation is followed by a matching de-allocation, it won't be reported; so if you profile from start till end, and all the memory is released, the profile should be almost empty (in reality this will almost never be the case); this might explain why the data doesn't seem to make sense from the tools you have tried already (assuming they do a similar thing).

>I wouldn't pretend to know your intent, but that writing style makes it appear racially biased even if you didn't intend it to be.

Since you don't know intent, why not shut up about assumptions of racial bias? I'd argue that these days a hell of a lot of social damage is caused by so many tediously sensitized people assuming racial bias over any trivial thing, sometimes more damagingly than whatever a random racist causes.

The colloquialisms in the other comment might not be the politest things in the world, but they're popular and widely used among all kinds of people in ways that have nothing to do with racism. Is somebody imitating rap lingo for fun (or as a fan) a racist too because of it? I'd say the opposite. The singers themselves certainly try hard to popularize it, but then it's racism if that widely succeeds among many ethnicities?
A small SSBN fleet is less of a concern for the UK because their submarines are very good, and the only navy that might have better is one of their strategic allies. You've got to remember each nuclear power is playing a different game; the strategies they choose are informed by their national strengths and weaknesses and who their allies and adversaries are.
Some of the stories that people have shared in the official bug report[1] are extremely disheartening.

Entire businesses ruined, healthcare applications that no longer work, everyone scrambling for answers and hoping that this is somehow a misunderstanding because Apple provided zero communication or transparency around this to developers.

The level of pettiness from them on this is truly disgusting. I hope the EU hits them with the mother of all fines in response to this.

I also don’t know how someone like Jen Simmons could possibly continue in her role as a Web Evangelist at Apple with any sense of credibility after this incident.

It's not [attempting to be an open ecosystem]. Their ToS used to forbid using third party clients. I don't think this has changed. They haven't banned anyone for using third party clients (to the best of my knowledge), but they're openly against an open ecosystem.

It's private, centralised and the network is closed (e.g.: non-federated), but the source code is public and open source. I think that for the server implementation they do code dumps every once in a while, rather than continuously keep it public.

The problem is not that it's a hassle to setup and maintain, but that discovery and network effects are a lot smaller when self-hosting. Being on Twitter and Medium gives you a lot more readers from the get-go, just because of the built-in discovery.

I still self-host my own stuff, but I would lie if I said I didn't understand why people use Twitter and Medium for hosting their content.

You’ve reminded me of the HOA “Welcome to the Neighborhood” Fee, I think more typically called an “initiation fee.” Typically around 0.5% to 1.5%

Apparently agents typically recommend the seller wrap it up into their side to make the deal more smooth and appealing to the buyer such that we never noticed when we bought into a neighborhood. Of course you can imagine the feeling of paying a do nothing management firm you despise many thousands for the privilege of getting the hell out!
Was bewildered when reading this message. How come? Python and TypeScript by definition don't have a concept of const generics the way it applies to C++ templates or Rust.

Nor "matching over algebraic datatypes" made any sense - sure sounds slightly below average fancy but comes down to just using C# pattern matching effectively, which the author may have never done. But then it struck me "structural interfaces sure sounds familiar", I go check the pinned repositories in the github profile and it all made sense immediately - the pinned ones are written in Go, which explains the author's woes with confidently navigating something more sophisticated.

FWIW WinNT was based on OS/2.

There were 3 editions of OS/2 planned:

OS/2 1.x, 16-bit, for the 80286

OS/2 2.x, 32-bit, for the 80386

OS/2 3.x, portable, for RISC and other CPU families

When MS and IBM split, IBM kept 2.x and Microsoft got 3.x.

It hired Dave Cutler and his team from DEC and gave them OS/2 3.x to complete. It was built on the Intel i860 RISC CPU, codenamed N-Ten. So this version was codenamed OS/2 NT.

Windows 3 was a big hit and Windows 3.1 even bigger, so OS/2 NT was renamed Windows NT.

Much of the world still runs it.

The question was: could you expect to explain an atomic bomb and its power to someone at the turn of the 20th century? The answer is clearly: yes.

Knowing the specific structure of the atom is _not_ required for this. The point was to prove that something was not necessarily 'magic' and the example selected was a bad example, because we can actually show that people were on the cusp of figuring it out themselves and would not have a hard time following an ELI5 overview. Are you providing information they do not have at hand? Yes. Will a reasonably well-read person of the era understand your explanation of how such a device would work? Yes.

Spot on argument.

Especially valuable piece of advice is to find 25-30 minutes of uninterrupted time and aim to knock out one small task. Even if you didn't finish it, note down progress and next steps. Go at it again in the next slot.

Taking notes will both help you track progress and give you a sense of movement. It will also make sure that you can easily regain context in the next attempt.

The black market rates only apply to private households. Businesses must have clean accounting books. The problem is that this official rate is inherently a subsidy for those who have access to it for the purpose of exchanging peso into dollars and a punishment for people who want to exchange dollars into peso.

The only benefit an exchange rate policy has is that it makes a countries' exports competitive on the international market. This is relevant for developing countries intending to build up a trade surplus. A floating exchange rate is better for developed countries with balanced trade. The previous exchange rate policy in Argentina didn't really serve any purpose other than to paper over domestic problems. There was no "grand strategy" behind it, so it needs to go.
I sort of get it. I don't think anyone coming from a multi-repo world really understands the full implications of a monorepo until they've worked in a large scale one (e.g. those at Google, Meta, or other places), so I think they try to keep certain kinds of practice that would ideally change in a monorepo world.

And I also don't think Git scales to that (Microsoft just about made it work with a custom filesystem, Google and Meta both use custom source control, Meta's is based on Mercurial), and therefore it's often necessary to split the monorepo into many repos and there exist a lot of tools for treating a set of Git repos as one Monorepo.

Yeah, 3 options with manually tuning even the number of probes. And this is for one OS only. This is one reason why application level pinging is just more feasible. I am using Go and gave up on tcp keepalives (even though they do have an std api) because the resulting behavior was a mess.

I don’t know if it should be the job of stdlibs or the OS, but at application level I’d prefer something like a single keepalive param with reasonable behavior.

They always wanted to, but Chinese companies didn't cooperate because market incentives were lacking. Chinese fabs wanted to buy the best international equipment and shunned Chinese toolmakers. Chinese toolmakers never had a chance to break through to large market share. Until now: the sanctions gave toolmakers a captive market.

Chinese toolmakers sucked because they didn't have market share and lacked practice. With a captive market, they finally have customers to practice on. This learning-by-doing cycle is what allows them to rapidly improve their quality, something they couldn't do before.

The sanctions hurt short-term, but also gave them a long-term opportunity which they didn't have before.
