I'm not convinced you'd be able to replicate because it was a product of time and place. Mike Lesk, who worked at Bell (he implemented uucp, his motivation was purely to provide patch distribution according to what he told me) said one of the key experiences he took from Bell was how easy it is to occupy a vacuum and how hard it is to push aside established state.

Unix exists. X11 exists. Kuberbetes exists. Gmail exists. Recreating a small team of highly accomplished experts with motivations which are not aimed at VC ipo, who are mutually trusting, and who have a beneficent employer with nation scale infrastructure they can burn to support you, and you still have the problem there's no vacuum, you're pushing aside other stuff.

Giving birth to C and Unix in the ashes of BCPL and multics with the pdp11 as an architecture, that's a huge one time thing. Invent a time machine and it might not happen the same the second time round.
It depends on how global the issue is.

But yeah I've seen US companies for example only doing their initial releases in the USA only which has zero value for issues that might appear with different localization/language settings for example.

Bell Labs is not unique though.

We had NatLab (Natuurkundig laboratorium, physics laboratory) at Philips. It's the birth place of the compact cassette and compact disk and did a lot of fundamental research. The main reason for its closure is usually cited as decentralized funding techniques icw economic downturn, though the betting in the wrong technique in the '90s sure didnt help (e.g. better flat crts instead of lcd).
Yeah, it's far from just airlines affected.

I've been living in the Netherlands for 3 years so far and now I've already given up the idea of making friends here. I'm not local but finding even an acquaintance is nearly impossible. Though there are some articles that claims Dutch ppl are one of the most difficult ppl to make a connection with, even with other expats I am not able to make any kind of connection.

I tried sport activities, hanging out with colleagues, hanging out on parties - nothing worked for me. I tried even finding a musical band to play in it and completely failed.

Now I moved to Amsterdam I don't even want to start searching. It takes so much energy w/o any outcome. Also, I work from home for an US company now and don't even have colleagues in the Netherlands.

"It is indeed true to say that the Chorleywood Bread Process revolutionised the bread making industry, as in 2009, it was determined that approximately 80% of all the bread made in Britain, Australia, New Zealand and India, used the process. In addition, the CBD has been adopted in more than 30 other countries across the globe."

Only 80%? I'm in the UK now and it seems all but impossible to buy bread not made this way. It's as though bread here is made for people without teeth.
On the contrary, if you pretend to be an idiot, and ask some Russian government-affiliated NGO “helping Donbass” if you can have a look yourself to be “free from Western propaganda”, I am sure they can pretend to get some positive publicity that way, and add you to this or that group of journalists and government officials who are shown Potemkin reconstruction (on a guided tour in presence of totally not plainclothes agents).

But I don't see any point in doing that. If you follow the timeless advice of Egor Letov, and read some North Korean or Soviet books, you would know everything that is going to be said. Why waste time watching someone perform the stupid play?

The problem I have with this is that anti-virus software has never felt like the most reliable, well-written, trustworthy software that's deserving of it's place in Ring 0.

I understand I'm yelling into the storm here, because anti-virus also requires that level of system access due to the nature of what it's trying to detect. But then again, does it only need Ring 0 access for the worst of the worst? Can it run 99% of the time in Ring 1, or user space, and only instantiate it's Ring 0 privileges for regular but infrequent scans or if it detects something else may be 'off'?

Default Ring 0? Earn it.

They said East Asians, my comment - given the other statements made in the video I would assume the ability to process more information is due to cultural training - you always process more information, get page with less information seems weird to you, need more information to feel secure that page is way it is supposed to be... thus the ability to process more information is a self-reinforcing cycle.

I remember when Tweeple were inventing hashtags and retweets in Twitter textboxes, bit.ly was the saviour that prevented url deadweight taking up our precious 140 characters.

Personally I would never use any influencers products. In fact I would not even bother to watch or read anything they promote.

After all, Influencers are just paid advertisers with a catchy name and not unlike those dodgy bot driven reviews on amazon and other sites. Fake bullshit.

They do have some influence over the easily influenced, the brainless doom scrollers and those unwilling to do their own research.

It is inevitable that they alone would get drawn into the fantasy world of influencers.

Banks are down so petrol stations and supermarkets are basically closed.
People can't check in to airline flights, various government services including emergency telephone and police are down. Shows how vulnerable these systems are if there's just one failure point taking all those down.
If this causes a blue screen on login/boot, it’s hard for me to see a way to deploy a fix organization-wide since it doesn’t really give time for remediation to run before the crash. I’ve never been part of a large org before; is this common & how far down does management software go? (As in can it be run before crowdstrike starts)

P.s. There is a surprisingly high number of newly created accounts posting unhelpful/repetitive comments here. Wonder what’s going on

But at least the best instant messaging app in the world Microsoft Teams and the best web browser in the world Microsoft Edge are working fine, right?
Disagree. Deprecating things like <frameset> will not make it easier to build new browsers. Shadow DOM and WebComponents are significantly more complicated for browsers to implement than any old "deprecated" technologies. If you don't want Chrome forever, what you want is not removing old technologies, it's preventing more new technologies from becoming a part of the web platform.

We'll get better at building software. Even with huge engineering teams, we can only build the browsers that we have today due to improvements in large-scale software engineering.

Keep your eye out for Ladybird Browser and Servo.
I used to read all ebooks on desktop when smartphones didn’t enter the market. Now I read on Kindle and a dedicated tab.

There’s only one kind of book I read on my laptop now- programming books PDFs. To code side by side. That's all. And PDF is better for rendering equations, graphs, code with syntax highlighting, and figures.

I use EPUB for "flat" essays, novels, storybooks, poems, etc. i.e. non-text/non-technical stuff.

And I use my Kindle or my tab always for that.

For the once or twice need of opening EPUBs on my laptop, I just use Okular.

Won't install something via Snap/Flat or compile it for that one-off kinds of use.

Major banks, media outlets and airlines are currently suffering major IT outages.

Perhaps it's the quality of your code that is preventing better completions.(Or the lang you use?)

There are a few things that really help the AI to understand what you want to do, otherwise it might struggle and come up with not so good code.

Not to say it gets it right everytime, but definitely often enough for me not to even consider turning it off. The time save has been tremendous.

I had to mull over this for a while, but I think I agree - abstractions at a conceptual level are much more powerful than object-level "compression".

Concepts/domain model/whatever tend to change over time though (at least in the business world, maybe not so much tooling etc). I think that's another source of leaky abstractions - things that conceptually made sense together at one point grow apart, and now you're left with common code that is deeply integrated but doesn't quite fit any more.
Europe will wake up to flood of problems as well. This needs to be at the top of HN. We are experiencing multiple issues here in EU.

Indeed Prolog programs are also called databases sometimes. Some things Prolog can do over SQL:

- infinite data defined by recursive predicates

- flexible data structures (think JSON but better, called complex terms) and a way to query them (called unification algorithm)

- execution strategy fine-tuned for reasoning (called resolution algorithm). You can do this with SQL but you’d have to formalize things using set operations and it’d be very very slow.

On the other hand, SQL can query plain data very very fast.

Critical article from Apr 2009:

on url shorteners -- joshua schachter's blog
http://joshua.schachter.org/2009/04/on-url-shorteners

Print publishers might have a case for URL shorteners but they should own and maintain their own instead of a 3rd party service they can’t control or prevent from disappearing.

Plenty of articles in the Communications of the ACM magazine use 3rd party shortened URLs and it’s unacceptable. They should know better and should host their own link shortener via their digital library system.
What you implemented is just checking output against a reference. That's an extremely common testing method.

This is significantly different because it actually changes the program that is being run. It's not common at all - probably because there aren't too many situations where it applies. You need to be processing some large input that you don't understand, and commonly change bits of your code in ways that you can turn on and off dynamically during a single run.
