The whole point of education, being good at something or maybe even expert is not that it guarantees you something. There is always order of magnitude more musicians, actors, scientists, engineers, writers and software developers than the ones "with outsized influence on the world". Being good at something gives you just better chances to use opportunities life might give you at some point. That's all. These opportunities may not even come and that's OK.
LA buses are a joke. Bus stops are often a bench (if even that) and a tiny sign put on a lamp post with a line number. No maps, schedules or anything of the like. Going out of a subway stop to find the connected bus stop is a challenge due to lack of way finding, even on very touristy routes (the bus to go up to Griffith's Observatory).

The only people who think that's okay are those who haven't experienced what a proper bus system looks like.
I think it's pretty likely that there are sources of information we don't normally perceive. I mean at some point the theory of evolution says we didn't sense light, and then some mutation let us see what was, at the time, a metaphysical world of wonders that was otherwise hidden from our normal state of mind!

We don't really know how brains work, or how reality works, so I think it's premature to be confident about either subject.
I've heard it said (perhaps apocryphally) that when non-English speakers are asked to judge words based purely on aesthetics, the word 'diarrhea' tends to rank quite highly.
I would be hesitant to claim "the world is moving to" anything, really. Deployments that would now be called "traditional", so anything that does not run in a container but in a VM, will continue to exist for quite some time.

And not only because of legacy systems that are hard to migrate to a modern platform. At my place of work there are workloads that can easily run on Kubernetes and it would be wise to do so. On the other hand there are systems that are not designed to run in a container and there is frankly no need to, because not everything needs to scale up and down or be available 100% of the time at all costs.

I think configuration management systems like mgmt (or Ansible and Puppet) are here to stay.

Show HN: Retcon – A macOS Git client for instantly rewriting history
I really like interactive rebases in Git, but always thought they took too much time and effort. There are tools that make them a lot nicer, like magit or GitUp, but they still ask a lot of you.

So over the last two years I built Retcon. In the app, you can manipulate history directly (e.g. drag a commit to a different spot) at all times; even when there’s a conflict waiting for resolution, you can always keep making changes. You're not asked to first make a rebase TODO and then commit to it.
So you no longer need to think too much ahead: you just make the changes you have in mind, see what that results in, and iterate on the spot. I think it really lowers the mental load of doing a rebase; most of the time you don't really think about it, you just do it.

You also can undo almost anything with ⌘Z. Like a commit deletion, sure, but also a conflict resolution: so you never have to start the rebase over if you make a mistake, you just go one step back. Once again, that both saves you a lot of time, and mental load.
Undo even works for remote pushes, which is handy. (and is safe, using a custom “force push with lease” variant)

I hope you like it! The app has a two-week free trial, and is paid after that (currently 25% off for launch). I’m really curious to hear if Retcon does feel faster/freeing to you, as intended.
The title is misleading, it may suggest Harvard or MIT lost $800M.

In fact, Harvard and MIT invested $30M each and sold EdX for $800M to 2U:
https://www.edsurge.com/news/2021-06-29-2u-buys-edx-for-800m...

So, likely, Harvard and MIT made some money.

It's 2U who lost the money. It's the public that suffered from the loss of EdX.

I completely agree that trying to get an education/certification model with no feedback and simple, robotic questions is completely useless.

Quantum error correction below the surface code threshold
IIRC this is the first time a fused key was leaked; keys were leaked before but those were firmware keys which were encrypted with the root fused key which as it’s name suggests is literally fused into the silicon through programmable fuses.

It’s unclear if Intel has enough fuses to push a new key and if there is a mechanism to do it in software without a specialized programming station.

If the latter two are possible and they can fix the leak vector with a ucode update then they can likely revoke the key and patch this over.

> Transparency is key to preventing rumors from shaping the narrative

True, but also maybe we can hold our horses a bit. There is an ongoing investigation. The story so far is that the French authorities arrested a French citizen.

If you are under the impression that there needs to be a public statement on that, I gotta disappoint you. Citizens are placed under arrest every day, and somehow there aren't press releases on that. Sure, Durov is an important public figure but I am not sure the French authorities have a habit to discuss an ongoing investigation with the press just so they can 'prevent rumors or shape the narrative'.

How I understand it, Telegram hosted publicly visible (read as 'non-encrypted') illegal content: drug ads/child pornography material, and failed or even declined to remove it. What is this attack on free speech here?

If they had end to end encrypted group chats, this content would have not been visible, hence nobody 'd have issued the takedown notice and Telegram would have had the plausible deniability. But right now things are clear as day: what we got here are repeated failures to comply to a takedown notice. Which is what the CEO has been arrested on.

We are talking about willingly and knowingly hosting illegal content and being a citizen of the country that issued the takedown notice. I don't see how this is an attack of free speech.

A guide to Polish cyberpunk culture
Doing business in the Middle East, we ran into the mistake of not intentionally pricing 20% higher than what we were actually aiming for. Even if you’re not actually looking to negotiate, you still need to keep a buffer for the negotiator to claim he’s done his job effectively — and some room for his boss too.

Doing contract work, I usually find that eventually extra work gets identified during the project; no one wants to do the paperwork around a change order (or more importantly, explain to their boss[es] why a change order is needed), so the easiest solution is to pad the initial pricing to account for it, and then when it comes up do it pro-bono. The larger the company, the more you buffer, as the paperwork gets worse and the misidentified scope becomes more likely.

And then of course a lot of companies end up with “yearly budgets”, and are price-insensitive as long as you stay in their remaining budget. Not pricing as much as the budget allows is just leaving money on the table.

That is, the floating price isn’t just some sales fuckery to trick buyers into bad deals (although it probably often does happen) — there’s some legitimacy to the madness. And buyers love haggling; IME it starts with haggling on direct price/effort, and then with haggling on scope. They want the project price to be fixed after haggling, not before.

>>Xi's cult of personality and curtailing of capitalism

The president of China is just a glorified code reviewer to some policies made by policy agency bodies. Sure he commands lots of political control over the broad contours of those policies, but nevertheless the control is limited.

What matters is making the right decisions, regardless of whichever 'ism' camp they belong to. Just do what is right, and what it takes to win.

This is seems to be more like a guiding principle behind whatever China does. During Deng era they redefined what communism means, they keep redefining communism as whatever they have to do to win.

Which in itself is a strange thing. They don't seem to care all that much ideologies, or anything for that matter. Only winning and what it takes to win seems like their ideology.

>>A Taiwan invasion attempt that brings massive blockades and boycotts

Another great part about China seems to be a stubborn refusal to fight wars. Which is a very scary thing if you think about it. The USA has perfected one weapon in all its existence, and its biggest nemesis is inert to it.

By and large they are just minimising going down decision trees that end in failure.

Tall order. Every one's fertility rate is declining. More importantly due to proliferation of AI and automation, this is actually a welcome thing. Lesser the mouths to feed, lesser instability when the machines inevitably take over.
While there are some open-source RISC-V cores and there are some easily available computers that use open-source RISC-V cores, most RISC-V cores are not open source.

For using an ARM core, you must obtain a license from Arm and you must pay a fee for every product that incorporates the licensed core. Moreover, the Arm license may have various restrictions on what you may do with your products that incorporate the ARM core.

With RISC-V, you do not have to pay for any license for RISC-V, even if you still have to either pay the development costs for your own RISC-V core or pay for a license to use a RISC-V core designed by another company. For some companies it may be more important that there are less restrictions, so they can design a custom variant of RISC-V, with proprietary extensions.

Except for the business model, there are no advantages of RISC-V over ARM.

There are also other open-source cores besides those that implement the RISC-V ISA, for example there are several open-source POWER cores.

> Another great line about translations is that they are like lovers

It's a great line _if_ one hasn't had much experience with lovers or thought deeply enough about such experiences or thinks of lovers casually. :(

Basically, we love someone because we're attracted to them, because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We also often love someone for their character which is why we are charmed by them.

It's really difficult to love someone who is unfaithful because our obsession with them merely affirms our own lack of character, and our lack of good judgement, and our inability to discern good character over and over.

Ah, I rant, sorry for that :), but my point is, it's a bad analogy because it doesn't tell us anything true about translations nor of lovers.

Untrue. You are just making nuclear proponents look bad with your broad strokes statements.

Edit: I am sorry if this came out angry. We need to have a good discussion about nuclear power and it's place in the energy mix. It's clearly losing at this point due to the immense costs associated with it (construction, insurance, decommission, etc.), the risks and the long investment horizon. Handwaving away issues or derailing arguments does not help the discussion.

Look we tried to find a solution for LLWs in Germany with cavern style storage repositories in Asse 2 and Morsleben. Due to many reasons, the costs spiraled out of control and we basically had to switch to overground storage and are in the process of repatriation. The reality is that currently storage of LLWs is expensive (see https://www.oecd-nea.org/jcms/pl_13212/low-level-radioactive...). The cost of treatment of LLW is difficult to specify. So far I have seen no reports that would compare treatment to long term storage repositories. Even with incineration the ashes still need to be stored for some time until they can be disposed.

Personally, I do want all windows to tile. Your comment has left me wondering what the preference is across tiling desktop users.
