Right, but that's my point—this is not a situation where visitors have to hope that site owners will be responsive to their preferences; rather, visitors are in a position to enforce their preferences via ad blockers, so there's no incentive for them to compromise on matters that, however poorly appreciated or understood, genuinely can affect security.
You seem unreasonably angry at this article for not immediately denouncing capitalism, and ignoring any possibility that there's a cultural aspect. The free market is not a new concept; why wasn't the birth rate as much of a problem 70 years ago when the market was just as free then? It's because young people today don't want kids as much as the previous generations did.

That said, I don't like having these kinds of articles on HN either.

Honestly I thought it was hard to configure because until I used Linux, my X terminals didn’t need to be configured at all!

I may be misremembering but I think my NCD terminal used bootp and probably a little tftp, then off it went. The hardest part was probably finding an Ethernet drop to plug it into.

This is really cool! I just don't think this implies a sense of general computation as opposed to puzzle-solving. I think there's a crucial difference here. There's just a lot of computational understanding that only comes up when you introduce combinatorics generally out of reach of casual classical conversation.

The idea that a discernable instruction set is needed for something to compute suggests you don't understand how fundamental computation is.

We have built computers without instruction sets, e.g. in the form of mechanical devices to carry out calculations. Fairly complex computations were done that way before general purpose programmable computers, but even many early programmable computers had no fixed instruction set.

There is a rich history of computation through wiring up calculations without any instructions involved. And for that matter of mechanical computation.

Here's an outline for a simple computational device:

A bucket.

Pour predefined quantities of water into a bucket, and you can compute a threshold. Use buckets of different size and overflows, and you can separate a numeral into binary digits. Drain them into containers of different sizes and you can carry out logical operations. (Actual computation has been done this way - fluidics is one way, which dates back to the Tesla valve in 1920).

Every physical interaction is computation, whether or not it
is useful computation. The notion computation requires an instruction set is confusing a very limited notion of classical programmable computers with the general concept of computation.

It is also a notion contradicted by the history of computation, which is full of computation without an instruction set, and of implementing computers with instruction sets in terms of computations of fixed function devices without one.

E.g. it's not turtles all the way down - that instruction set runs on a CPU that ultimately is built of fixed function logic.

Instruction sets are an optional high level abstraction.

How far is Israel expected to deliver the food? Right to everyone's door?

A seige means the borders are closed.
The current situation, for at least 6 months now is that Israel is letting food trucks through the border, more and more every day.

A problem exists for that last mile inside Gaza where no one wants to distribute it because militants will straight up beat truck drivers with sticks to steal the trucks and the food.

You'd think the UN would step in and do something but so far they mostly just sit on their hands bleating.

So to summarize: there are huge piles of food just inside the Gaza border that are not being distributed efficiently/at all.

I also want to point out that it's not in Israel's best interest for there to be food shortages inside Gaza. The first people who will be starved are the hostages, so Israel wants to flood the strip with so much food that some trickles down to her citizens held there against their will.
> that bakery that said "we don't bake cakes for gays" and got justifiably slapped.

If you're referring to Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, you're mistaken on two points. First of all, the bakery didn't get slapped. The Commission got slapped [1].

> The Commission compared Phillips's religious beliefs to defense of slavery or the Holocaust. Kennedy found such comparisons "inappropriate for a Commission charged with the solemn responsibility of fair and neutral enforcement of Colorado’s anti-discrimination law".

> The Court avoided ruling broadly on the intersection of anti-discrimination laws and rights to free exercise.

> Kennedy's decision specifically noted the hostility towards Phillips made by the Commission as their reason to reverse the ruling, but because of the existence of this hostility in the current case, they could not rule on the broader issue regarding anti-discrimination law and the free exercise of religion.

Secondly, the baker refused to make an on-demand wedding cake for a gay couple because, according to the baker, doing so would express approval of a gay marriage against the baker's religious beliefs. The gay couple could buy a general-purpose cake or anything already on a shelf.

Anyway, whatever led advertisers to leave Twitter probably had nothing to do with protected classes. Political opinions are not protected classes.

> warmongering aggressive policies

Russia invaded Ukraine in a war that has -- so far -- killed at least a hundred thousand people and wounded about half a million.

Is that a defensive or aggressive policy towards neighbours?

How many people have died as a consequence of Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, and Finland joining NATO?

What material aggression has Russia experienced, in terms of casualties?

This whole thing is actually very simple: Russia's senior leadership wanted to invade Ukraine. It's something they've been planning for decades. There's numerous interviews with various world leaders stating that they've known about these plans since at least the early 2000s.

Ukraine joining a defensive pact is a "threat" only to invasion plans. Invading right before a country has a chance to join is simply confirming that the need for defensive alliances was a real one.

It's like a burglar feeling "threatened" by the installation of security cameras in a place they've been scoping for months, and robbing the place right before the security system installers turn up.

No matter what that burglar says about the police, or the "spying" of the cameras, or whatever matters. Fundamentally, they had criminal intent and are just making things up to justify that.

Every Russian excuse is just nonsense when examined critically. E.g.: "We had to defend ethnic Russians from the bad Ukranians". Okay... then why was it that after the invasion the Russian military immediately used the locals as discardable cannon fodder? What kind of "protection" is that!? https://www.reddit.com/r/NonCredibleDefense/comments/1d7b6gs...

Unless you have broken software and hardware since the 1990s or 1980s, and then gotten a degree in management or engineering, my path is hard to replicate.

But I certainly can offer some advice:

1. Be hardcore and really interested in security. Read everything. Deep diving into networks, software, vulnerability, risk management.

2. Get a CISSP certifiaction, then maybe an ISO 27001 cert and then also something juicy from SANS (I have none of these).

3. Get an AWS or a public cloud of your choice certification

Also

* Cia triad

* Mitre attack framework

* Cis controls

* Nist framework

* Ise 62443

* Zero trust framework from NIST

Get work experience, projects, situations, grow and evolve

As I'm sure you know, the AI in NSAID is anti-flammatory; thus if you have some kind of non-inflammation pain, paracetamol (aka acetaminophen, Tylenol and other brands) is better. It's also better for lowering fever temperatures. Ibuprofen and other NSAIDs are also contraindicated by other medications, I'm sure there are some for paracetamol too, but I'm not aware of them vs. a few for ibuprofen.

I think you're overstating the risk to your liver, it's not even a prescription drug in any country I'm aware of, there are guidelines and dosages stated for a very good reason, sure, but if you're not taking it routinely (rather just to address an occasional issue) it's fine. And if you are you should see a GP, but the outcome might still be that they agree and prescribe a daily dose.

Ibuprofen should be taken with food to mitigate risk of stomach ulcers, but how many people follow that guidance? It's processed by and a toxin to kidneys instead of liver, can result in AKIs/renal failure, at least you have two of those I guess?

Personally I take ibuprofen for a migraine etc., but paracetamol for a fever. Neither is happening frequently, so I don't worry about occasional use within the guidelines/on doctor advice of either of them.

There's a lot of such political takes in the article, for all that it does make a legitimate point about factuality.

I prefer the word “confabulate”.

When humans fill in knowledge they don’t actually have, but think we do, we call it confabulating.

We all confabulate at a low level, because it is intrinsic to how we store and recall memories. Our memories are compressed summaries whose details we fill out with defaults and guesswork subconsciously as we “remember”. This is why memories are rarely perfectly accurate.

Some people confabulate more than others. And we all confabulate to a greater or lesser degree based on variable circumstances, emotions, motivation, fatigue and other mental states.

“Hallucinations” on the other hand are what happens when our sensory processing becomes unmoored from actual memory or real sensory constraints. The brain creates an interpretation based on internal feedback without normal correction, drifting into false sensory experiences that are not actually reflective of reality.

Dreams are a natural form of this where nothing we are experiencing is actually really happening.

One is false memories, the other is false experiences.
The projection seems pretty ludicrous by most all accounts I can think of but that's not what they project about companies doing robotaxis, they close in saying they see auto manufacturers will either consolidate into, partner with, or be a robotaxi company.
>Whereas Falcon 9 is much less expensive to build new than Ariane 6.

SpaceX has a large fleet of Falcon 9 reusable boosters, but still needs to build one every now and then.
My whole career in technology is because of a "Who's Hiring?" thread back in 2012 or so.

Emailed the hiring email address in the thread for a company that seemed to suit my interests and abilities at the time and was off to the races. I moved from a rural area to a Midwestern state for the gig. Every job I've had since that job has been with companies comprised of permutations of those same coworkers from the first gig.

I'd probably still be doing roofing or something if I hadn't been an HN reader at that time.

Excellent!

Thank you, reader!
No.

Algorithms and Data Structures always go together (like Yin/Yang) and hence i did not spell that out. At the time the book was written Structured Programming techniques and control structures were somewhat new and people wondered whether it was possible to really write efficient programs using these in a high-level language. In the preface/introduction itself Bentley points this out and says he is looking at efficiency at the "Design Level"(various) and thus you have chapters like "Modifying Data Structures" (Time vs. Space) and "Modifying Code" (mainly Loop rules) which show one how to transform code in the same language to a better form (we know this today as helping the compiler generate better object code). As he points out in the book; people forget the constant factors in big-oh and much efficiency can be had by tweaking this.

This is particularly true nowadays since there are so many interpreted/vm-based/jit-compiled/scripting languages where with some "under the hood" knowledge you can get good performance just by source level transformations.
They said there were other options. They said they shouldn’t live in a region if they get priced out of it.

What are the other options? “You can’t live in this city, regardless of reason, unless you have enough money” is cruel and inhuman in the real circumstance I described.

It may be that they don’t have the experience or knowledge to realize that things are the way they are, but “you aren’t entitled to live anywhere near where you need to live to keep your child alive” is the reality of their position.

You say that, but then I counter with Boeing. Their testing and certifying are definitely not very expensive since they self-certify.

There's a large part of any government awarded contract's budget that goes into institutional largess or bureaucratic accounting practices that divert monies from intended purposes. With Boeing and the evidence showing their diversion from standard engineering into more MBA style management, I would not be surprised to learn that a small fraction of government awarded money went to actual engineering with the largest portion going to management.

Are all government contractors as bad as Boeing? I hope not, but it wouldn't be shocking if they came close. But I'm guessing that $1k bolt wasn't strictly from design/testing costs as much as managerial costs being a large factor.

Steam engines and gears are a specific physical manifestation of computation. Computation does not have a single, specific physical manifestation - it can, and has, been done with organic matter, electronics, gears, pipes of water, light.

Per the Church-Turing thesis these can all compute the same set of functions, and unless you can demonstrate that brains and only brains can evoke unknown physics that allows brains to compute a set of functions that can not be computed by other means, the most logical assumption is that it holds, including for brains.

Especially given how much we measure brains without seeing any signs of unusual physics.

> They already put it into production though, so that's not very relevant to deciding when they move off of it.

It's one of those "if a tree falls in the woods" scenarios, though. It's not a default-install package.

People who selected it already dealt with it or keep running into it. Changing the backend won't even affect them; config edits are preserved.

To add (one final poor point): they're a tiny minority! This production is like... nothing.

Fixing it/changing course/introducing 'breakage' (a correction) is less adversarial than leaving it broken IMO.

There were several ways to approach this, some more user visible than others...

The 'proper' thing, changing the backend, would've been felt. Patching the errant argument use was also entirely an option. They even had several actual LTS' to do this in!

The 'service life', like the cake, is a lie. While we debate best practices - they fail to execute them!

I appreciate you putting up with my rambling though
