For the wealthy, University degrees might just be a Veblen good.

It might be the "same", but there will be people that judge them for getting the cheap one.
I don't get how that solves the scalability and deployment/sdlc problems k8s is used for

Like, monoliths and k8s seem orthogonal to me. It's like saying 'docker was a failure we should go back to writing Java' to me.
Sheesh, kinda harsh. The reauthorize deadline isn’t until a year from now. And I wouldn’t assume anything, but I hope they’re making a kickback from sales of Dorico. Given the discount price, even if your assumption is true, it can’t be that much money.

This isn’t some kind of massive win for MakeMusic, nor is it greed if they get a little money for moving people to another product. They’re shutting down what once was their flagship product. There’s more competition now, the codebase is heavy with legacy cruft, maybe it’s no fun at all to work on, or maybe they’re losing customers and are unable to make a living on Finale. It’s hard and painful to shut down a once-successful project, especially for people who’ve worked hard on it for a long time. I can’t help but empathize a little.

It could be way worse, they could be shutting down new authorizations today. Companies and products that die do that all the time. Giving the customers a year to deal with it and a steeply discounted upgrade path is relatively kind.
Signal users should be happy about this, because it exposes the SGX enclaves as the false security it is. It's not like this is the first SGX exploit.

You should assume that Signal engineers, if they chose to, could access the user data protected by SGX, just like they could log metadata about your message sending and receiving patterns. You only have their word that they don't. The NSA could certainly bypass the SGX given access to the server.

I suppose there may be some legal benefit in putting the data "out of reach" - it would be hard to prove in court that you were capable of leveraging an exploit towards SGX to provide the requested data. But NSA/others will happily take possession of the hardware and do it themselves.
That's not a bug. It's just calling `self.navigationDestination(isPresented:)`, which is a valid thing that exists. The same thing can happen anywhere that you're calling a method on an object which also exists on `self`.
The source? Feel free to do a Google search for the FBI's Uniform crime statistics. They're very easy to find and very robustly segmented along demographic lines.

The implication? What implication should there be other than that homicide is much higher in these communities and that by extension it doesn't seem surprising that an abnormally large number of female residents of these communities might be victims of it too.
I'm surprised rateless fountain codes aren't mentioned! If you enjoy this sort of thing, you'll find the Luby Transform Code fascinating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luby_transform_code

This paper is a really nice overview with more detail: https://switzernet.com/people/emin-gabrielyan/060112-capilla...

LT codes are used as the "outer code" in the linear time RaptorQ encoding specified in RFC6330: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6330
What kind of changes have you made with your patches? Did you make them yourself? I wanted to locate the code responsible for chromium's manifest v2 support so I could patch it back in once it's removed but I just couldn't get very far.
Interesting perspective. I wonder if there are gradients on the alert spectrum, from having bombers continuously airborne to several days notice required before operations. Is there an in-between type of alert that doesn’t require quite so many resources? Or does the alert aircraft always need to be able to launch within the flight time of an ICBM?
The most common hallucinations I've seen are phantom GitHub repos and issues, and this usually appears when I ask for a source.
"is it more natural read for people familiar with writing functional programs? (am I permanently "broken" due to my familiarity with imperative programing?)"

As just one person who has written a great deal of functional code, it reads well to me. I think because I am used to reading it "inside out"? Reading lisp-likes is probably helpful.

Take 'color' for example. It opens with a 'cond', with three branches. First branch is if the idx-th position in word is the same as letter, return green. Second branch is if the word includes the latter at all, yellow. Otherwise we're grey.

That took me a few seconds to grok. Just one anecdote for you. Don't think you're broken but reading/writing this kind of code even a little bit will change the way you see code IMO.
There is no One Linux Way: that's why there's so many different DEs and other various competing projects.

GNOME itself is an attempt to give Joe Average what he wants: the whole idea of modern GNOME is to take a tablet-oriented UI and put it on a desktop computer.

The problem is that the people behind projects like GNOME think they're the next Henry Ford, who famously said that what people really wanted was a faster horse, and instead made what he wanted people to have (i.e., motor cars that are in any color you like, as long as you like black).
You want $5 to set up an alert.

For Show HN, the product/project needs to actually exist and there needs to be a way for people to try it out.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22336638

It should be easy for users to test the site out. Paying $5 to see if it works isn't as far as I'm concerned 'easy'.

This could be a scam site for all I know.

How can I test without payment?

> The fact that you can't even imagine a candidate besides Donald Trump who poses a serious threat to the state intelligence

?

How'd you get this incorrect insight into what I think ... and what makes you think that Trump is a serious threat to the US state intelligence apparatus?
Heh, I did the opposite - I did my best to copy OS X, until eventually I realized that what I really wanted was just GNU/Linux (ish), at which point I mostly stopped the theming and used the system for itself. And having since used real macOS for work... it does some nice things (the command key, mostly) but I'd take Debian over Darwin any day. To each their own:)
In Australia, someone was jailed for possessing Simpson's cartoon in 2008:

https://www.computerworld.com/article/1510365

That seemed an like absurd overreach at the time. But Australia has until recently always suffered from overreach in it's censorship laws, so as an Australian I didn't find it surprising.

I always assumed the reason we didn't see the same thing in the US's was the 1st amendment. I guess it's too soon to know if this is just an aberration that will be fixed.
Aren't there patent problems with fountain codes?
As someone with an English "bottom" as in bottom-lands surname, I appreciate the deliberate silliness of "Longbottom" while leaning into a very traditional British sounding name.
Mmm, really? How many people can power through this in the long term? Imagine having these super designers and you burn them out because you want them at work all the time. The CEO would be a fool to let this happen. Yes, it might happen but it's rare.
From a comparable project, Georgia State University's Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy ([CHARA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHARA_array)) interferometric array was constructed for about $15m in 1985. That facility has six one-meter telescopes. That would be about $45M in 2024 dollars.

While I cannot attest for the accuracy of the cost estimate, I can note that the BFT takes several approaches which I think will help control costs. In particular, they are leveraging a multitude of proven technologies, COTS components, and smaller telescopes.
It's readable, your (justified) problem is with his names. There's no language where "colors" and "field" will be descriptive function names that make it clear what's going on.
Which systems support that?
I don't know specifically about Russian education system, but I have impression that critics of rote memorization and pencil-and-paper testing are rarely from less successful countries or are themselves low achievers. I think it's just sausage making. Sausage is fine.
Can't wait for the stories of how this broke baseball analytics software that assumed that a single player will never play for both teams in a match.
This is not shocking. Scientists love to portray the idea that they simply are pursuing the science wherever it leads them as some altruistic goal of gaining knowledge. Many are that way but once people have considered the science settled they become as dogmatic as any religious person and is political as any politician to defend their stance. I don't know what this site will reveal and the problem is they don't know either but they do know it is an anomaly that has the power to call into question much of the ancient history that we know.

Another example where scientists were dogmatic in their stance rejecting the evidence was with the age of the Sphinx. Egyptologists knew the age of it and it was accepted as settled science that it could be nothing else but what they said and they were dogmatic in that position. All of a sudden a geologist came along and said hey this doesn't look right because the weathering you have here is clearly not from Sand erosion it's from water based erosion and quite a large volume of water based erosion. So clearly this must have been older than what you claim. That set off a massive battle which I'm not sure is completely settled to this day. On one side you have the geologist that are simply doing their best to understand the geological data at the site the other side you have the dogmatic egyptologists that must preserve Egyptian history as we currently understand it.

This scenario almost seems like they have learned from their past mistakes and they're going to refuse to allow anyone in to examine it to gain more data so their dogmatic beliefs do not get called into question. This is why layman have such a distrust for those who claim to be scientists. Because there are enough examples of educated people who are scientists holding fast to dogmatic beliefs and not to the core principles of science. Granted that is not most scientist I believe most scientists are honest in their pursuits but there is enough powerful ones that are dishonest that taint the perception across the entire field.
Perhaps opening up access to data 5 years after the patient is dead would fix this.
> Will anyone be held accountable for what happened?

By who? The same government that relies on FAANG's obedience?

No, the government will shield them from any criticism because they are an intelligence asset.
> Because what they're selling is not just an education (you can get that at (fill in blank) State), they're selling prestige and future opportunities.

Obvious follow up: Are there state universities using these techniques to drive down costs and be more flexible?
I’m not disagreeing with you but are you directly benefiting from the US’s “dominance”?

The way I see it, unless you’re in the top say 5-10% of tech workers you probably aren’t seeing great benefit from the US’s leads in anything. And anyone outside of that is seeing their general QoL being slowly degraded by ever higher prices and an ever weaker government (due to monopolization).
How does that explain the difference in quality?
Luby's original paper was published in 2002. Not sure about RaptorQ though...
It was a genuine question. Any implications are either below my conscious awareness and unintentional, or creations of your own.

Since you didn't answer, I'll make a guess: you are expressing what is true, using written language as the best representation of what you've come to know through your life as an offering, a present to those other beings who are able to hear the divine words behind the coarse letters of the English language. Perhaps by speaking what is true, you help bring forth more of it into the physical world?

What say you?

I'll check out those links later.

He encouraged a group of his supporters to overthrow the government to allow him to stay in elected office, and his political advisors have developed a plan for him to wipe out the executive branch in its current form if he gets re-elected? There won't be a security state under Trump, at least as it exists now.

I think you claimed that Harris was somehow not an ideal candidate for the current hegemonic forces in the US, or at least those forces of power wouldn't do what they could to make sure she gets elected. One of Chomsky's points was precisely this, they goad you with progressive political candidates who don't actually threaten power. The two main forces of power in the US are capitalist industry and the state, but the truth is that both have an interest in maintaining power relations such as they are, and so what we are witnessing in most elections is just a sort of balancing act between direct and indirect means of control. With Trump you have someone who is so insanely narcissistic that he is completely unreliable and there is essentially no way of using him to maintain state control as such.
> managers perpetually confusing a 'problem' with an 'emergency'

I'm working on a theory around "organisational ADHD". Based on 20 years of experience in, basically, "today's problem always overrules yesterday's priority" and how this negatively affects efficiency, quality, and throughput of an organisation.

And that this behaviour is generally created, encouraged, and facilitated by (bad / immature) management, who should be doing, essentially, the opposite.
Thanks for the heads-up! I get where you're coming from. I’m thinking about adding a free tier so people can test things out. In the meantime, if you want to give it a try, just let me know and I’ll set up a test alert for you. Thanks for your patience!
>And this is how it already works in “most places”. Where it isn’t currently doing that you propose installing meters that aren’t already there, or determining pipe size to every user to determine the proper amount to charge for their shit. How is this not adding complexity

? Sewage systems are built under permit virtually everywhere and the pipe size or drain units is documented. I live in about the least regulated place in the Continental US and even here my drain units are public record. Of course if everything is private connections could be added without permit since that burden falls privately.

Of course if water is unmetered and public I think the average person even worse, with tragedy of the commons and the rich or corps consuming water in mass then taxing the poor to fund it.

>Sure, just as soon as you pay for all of the infrastructure between your community and the septic system. I wonder how many million or billions of dollars that would add up to.

This doesn't make sense. You tax this in pieces, you can 'tax' at consumption in pieces without each consumer building their own billion dollars in infrastructure. If your local companies are selling PVC pipes and Portland cement to country folk, why aren't you charging them for that infrastructure instead of complaining about maybe poorer people are getting a slight discount on poop system materials at your cost (which you seem to think is good anyway, personally im noy sure how much im robbing you when i privately buy portland and pvc, but corporations siphoning tax money via subsidies etc can be a problem).

>In practice they’re spending that money on something else. This isn’t about savvy savers losing a few percent to inflation. This is about people mortgaging a way to take a shit because they need to hook up their apartment to some company’s system.

... Apartment owners mortgage the cost of their sewage pipe yes, as well as the toilet they sit on. If renting landlord pays for the pipes you rent and indirectly also pay for. This is the case whether you connect to a public or private system, taxes or not. You are not mortgaging the cost of the treatment system unless you own it.

>Huh, no restrooms available in the city? Oh wait, you have to be a customer to use a lot of those restrooms… so you have to pay to shit. Crazy how that isn’t working. It’s not libertarianism that’s wrong, it’s the damn poor and mentally ill.

If you want shitters for the homeless why don't you buy them some? Or if it's so wildly popular a cause why not solicit donations? Taxes haven't been very successful at solving the problem and you have it all figured out so you should spearhead it. How much are you committing today for shitters for the homeless?
“James Webb”. They names a telescope after spider from Slow Horses? Seriously it makes me wonder if nobody in production was familiar with the real James Webb.
>The thing is - making a consistent, easy to use well thought out operating system experience is a gargantuan task and it must take gargantuan time money and effort to do it well.

Not really: Apple did it long before they were as large and rich as they are now. The key is forcing limitations on everyone, including independent software vendors, and mostly ignoring backwards compatibility. Apple has always controlled their environments to a large extent, and used that to push their vision of how a UI should work. And having a highly centralized company with a dictatorial and perfectionist CEO contributed to this. MS, by contrast, seems to have long been a company that more closely resembled an organized crime syndicate, with different factions constantly fighting or backstabbing each other, and the central leadership not strong enough (or perhaps not caring enough) to enforce a single vision unless it was about monopolizing the market and putting competitors out of business.
True that a big part of the cost is absorbing the costs of failed drugs, but most of it is in clinical trials, which is normally past the academia setting.
Honestly I'm surprised no one has done the programming/CS version of it where all the symbols and formula are explained with code. I'm rusty as hell on math but seems like it should be pretty reasonable to translate a lot of them to functions or similar per symbol.
yeah, oops, that was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek. No, I'm just a guy who likes math, and I try to write things that make seem correct. I just don't want anyone, like, citing me on something... like, check the work yourself if you want to use it, I'm not a reliable source.

Anyway, go read a bunch of GA books and papers and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about there. At some point in the past (like ~8 years ago) I think I had read or at least skimmed everything that had ever been published on the subject. And some of it's good! Although at times, like, unnecessary. The rest, though... yikes.
Typically my servers is behind NAT and it has no public address, one can only reached the service through the CF tunnel and my access is through VPN, this should be safe, right?
I'm not sure what you're saying, are you against clinical trials?
Have my upvote for practicality! /s
Hello, Akira here. Thank you for your valuable feedback and advice.

I'm glad to see your interest in my project. Your point about the mismatch between the license badge and the file is indeed important. To avoid confusion, I'll make sure to correct that immediately.

I also appreciate your suggestion regarding the addition of a commercial license and switching to LGPL. In fact, I plan to switch from GPL to LGPL to broaden the project's usability. As for the commercial license option, it is still under consideration, but I'm positively thinking about it as a future possibility for the project.

Additionally, I am considering the introduction of a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) to foster deeper collaboration with contributors.

Your continued feedback and suggestions are highly valued. Thank you for your support, and I look forward to hearing more from you in the future.
Early NASA was the sum of the private companies and the smartest nerds pulled from academia that they absorbed and turned into an organization. These people brought their culture of production and research from where they came from and built something great. Now NASA is merely a legacy gov agency whose culture is that of every old gov agency. Risk adverse, checkbox focused, political pawns, professional budget wranglers, etc.

Blaming capitalism alone on that is a bit silly. There's nothing capitalistic about a giant gov agency funding the same tiny group of companies for decades.

Public-private partners is a good idea because public orgs that need to produce IRL things are very flawed, but you still need national interests beyond market interests so this is the compromise that has worked many times.

But they replaced the public-private idea with a series of mega gov bureaucracies whose whole job is propping up monopolies who are prevented from failing in an open market because they are deemed essential to the national interest - entirely because gov refuses to adapt to reality and allow proper competition or long term investment.

Boeing has no risk and neither does NASA because they can just keep choosing the safe choice, Boeing. What a lovely market.

We need to kill or reboot legacy gov agencies when they get old. And we need to force any public-private arrangements to legitimately foster competition, which means lots of compromise beyond a VC type situation, like reducing the litany of special interest checkboxes (jobs, geography, diversity, etc) and paperwork for small companies.
