To my understanding, part of the reason that was a problem was that Intel wanted to killswitch feature bits like SGX, but since Linux saves the feature bit state when it inits the CPUs, and then other things might change codepaths based on that, if you then killswitch it later, boom might go the dynamite.

(I believe this example would also still break on AMD-based systems, AMD just hasn't killswitched a CPUID feature flag yet AFAIR...)

Looking at the quoted post, what do they have against Direct File? It is really hard to keep track of their positions which I believe is intentional.

The experiment disproved the existence of stationary aether; it didn't disprove the existence of an aether dragged by the Earth.

Relativity is radical. If we interpret it through the concept and language aether, it says that when two observers traveling at different velocities briefly meet at the same time and place, they will each observe an aether that appears to be dragged with them. That is a contradiction: how can the aether be simultaneously dragged in multiple directions at the same spot? So there cannot be an aether. But there must be something else, all the new cruft contained in Relativity, like dilation of time and space.
It’s a common pattern in programming too.

Consider the rule: If a user has write access, then they must be an admin.

If you write a function to enforce this, you’ll naturally follow logical implication—checking if the user has write access and raising an error if they aren’t an admin, while doing nothing if they don’t have write access.
A staff of incompetent sycophants and palace guards only works when times are placid, hastens turmoil, and its team's demise.

This is a failure mode unless failure is the goal.

My experience with ethics classes is that they usually just teach you good ways to justify whatever you want.

The opposite happened. Congress said that an agency should manage aid, and then USAID was created by executive order. Trump could just create another agency.

You said it! How long before a lot of small countries start leaving treaties like the Berne Convention? Why would they bother protecting other big countries copyrights when they're no longer getting support through programs like USAID and there's no longer any guarantee that the US will protect them in any way.

The first country to pull out has the chance to make like $100 billion by creating the next TikTok competitor that never takes down content for violating anyone's copyright. It'll be like Edison moving to Hollywood all over again! Let the gold rush begin!
The Bellamy Salute was similar but not exactly the same. Im sure that if Elon's "gesture" connotes no special meaning, there would be no problem with you making the gesture before your colleagues and customers.
> All people fit into sex categories because all people have a definite sex

I mean, no? Not really? There's a whole history of people who do not have a definite sex, and even then, there are lots of people who appear to have a definite sex but their body is varied massively from the "baseline". Such people are actually more numerous than red-headed people or albinism, within society. All of this is pretty trivial in terms of talking points and very well supported within the encompassing scientific literature, which is why I don't actually feel the need to cite myself here — any introduction to biological psychology, or the general subject of sex/gender, from a biological or sociological view, will very easily get you up to speed on this.

Hello, I’m a full stack engineer with a knack for creating functional, user-friendly & visually appealing applications.

I have had a diverse range of professional experiences working with early stage startups across various industries (esp. Travel, Finance, Healthcare & Eco).

I’m open to part-time/contract work. Also feel free to reach out to me if you're not hiring immediately.
was anything in mine untrue?
There is a process to revoke citizenship for people that lied as part of the process. Some are arguing that Musk did lie, his brother publicly said that weren't intending to enroll when they were on student visas.

Actually, Caffeine is the name of a hello world script I wrote back in the 80s, so...
But there is no Arguments::fmt ? Are you thinking of the implementations of Debug::fmt and Display::fmt on Arguments ? Trait implementation isn't the same kind of thing at all.
I guess Elon believes that long wait times for government services is because of an O(n^3) function somewhere...

> Where are the Democrats on all this? There is hardly any opposition

I think because this is so unprecedented the structures to oversee simply don't exist. The article mentions that congress has no mechanisms for oversight, and Elon is moving too quickly in this area for any checks to take place.
USAID as the specific agency was established by executive order, in response to legislation (the Foreign Assistance Act) passed by Congress requiring such an agency to exist, and other legislation that continues to fund its operation.

If the goal is reorganization then it could be argued that the president has the power to do so provided it still meets the requirements of the legislation passed by Congress.

If the goal is to simply delete the agency with no replacement and let the funding stop indefinitely, that is not so clearly within the president's power and has precedent against it.
> laminar/turbulent and attached/separated are independent descriptors

You’re right, I should have said when state changes.

L/T:A/S are theoretically independent, but not independent for a given airfoil. (High-lift airfoils, common in gliders and most airframes with flaps deployed, are turbulent boundary-layer airfoils.)
>The goal is to find government waste and to trim the fat. The goal is to make the US government lean, efficient, and effective at improving the lives of Americans while not prioritizing improving the lives of citizens of other nations.

Lets be clear, that is not the goal - that is what they say the goal is and reality shows it is not. The goal is grift and theft adn destruction. Properly naming things is going to continue to matter more and more. Because no matter your bias or perspective, repeating propaganda is an act of propaganda.
I don't believe Musk or Trum cares about "improving the lives of Americans". They would try to protect Americans if that was their goal. Their first targets are consumer protection, environmental protection and such.

they don't care about fraud either. Both are fraudsters themselves, both will enrich themselves and their families. They both surround themselves with fraudsters.

What I give to Musk is that the staggering nepotism you see with Trump is not there as much.
Maybe the strategy is to let it play out until there is enough of a case that the other branches can’t look away? Let Elon show himself out by inevitably crossing Trump and going the way of so many other advisors?
Been at emdash for just over a year — working with a hardworking team, tackling interesting problems, and truly enjoying the experience. A great place to grow and work!
When people can't be legally held accountable, then why are you surprised that there are those trying to hold them accountable via extrajudicial means?

> make an entirely specious process argument

That’s an absolutely absurd response. Even if your argument were correct (it isn’t) there is no executive order shutting down USAID. It isn’t “specious” to want actions like the shutting down of entire government agencies to be done legally.

Of course process matters.
Where in the U.S. Does Middle-Class Income Stretch the Furthest?
Having power for the purpose of having power isn't too meaningful. In democracies parties (already questionable concept) should ideally not worry about power, but worry about reaching useful goals.
ReAG: Reasoning-Augmented Generation
Sorry, what, elections are for doing what exactly? Not provide a registry of residence, surely.

Your second sentence builds up two strawmen:
1. That the registry has to be "perfect", whatever that means. It doesn't, it just has to be canonical, and allow for errors in it to be corrected according to some well-defined process. (Not by pulling 20 random documents in front of a judge and suddenly legally become another person.)
2. That these registries are "mythical". It's very much a solved problem. You (I'm assuming you're American) are literally living the only developed country without a registry of who lives in it.

Japan solves this by having the registry in your town of birth, other countries have this registry centralized -- perhaps the U.S. would be best served by state-wide registries, though since migration across state borders is unregulated, I bet that would be very difficult to maintain.

As for the reasons not to have such a registry, I have yet to hear any convincing ones.
Flags are applied by users in virtually all cases, not mods.

Contentious topics, regardless of how merited a discussion might be, tend to draw flags inordinately. But again, you generally can't blame mods for this.

(HN does systemically penalise, or outright ban, numerous sites. I strongly doubt Wired is in either category, though if you want to know for certain, you can email mods. For a number of fairly evident reasons the full list isn't publicly disclosed, though pg provided some lists and extracts early in HN's histoyry, notably <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=499044> and <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4984095>. There were 38,719 banned sites as of the end of 2012, a number which has doubtless increased.)
> I guess we got the government we voted for? And since it’s a democracy, I suppose that means we have exactly the government we deserve?

Well, we voted based on the only two options that were shoved down our throats by various groups of the wealthiest people on the planet. I don't personally think we deserve this, why would we? That said, if we don't do something, it won't get better.
Corruption skyrockets when:

That seems like an unnecessary vulnerability waiting to happen.
They mean that he will divert or protect payments and credits going to his own businesses or partners. His interest in capital efficiency exists to generate profit for himself, not as a blessing for other orgs he provides as a gift. He did it with Twitter/X after he became owner of its profits.

If treasury money is diverted to his private interests, that is waste and perhaps fraud. But to him it achieves the same end (personal profit) as capital efficiency of orgs under his own ownership, not just his control

But this is an elevator pitch. I didn't come here to be marketed to, yet I am being marketed to.

So if you're going to market something to me at least do it right. My attention span is low because I don't really give a shit about this.
As someone who's worked with Ruby for 12 years here are some insights:

Ruby makes message passing first class. That just changes how you think about programs. In exchange you give up passing functions so our anonymous functions are our blocks (actually just another object that can receive messages). So you don't `list(something)` you `something.list` and that lets you change what `.list` does depending on who `something` is very easily.

Ruby's defining feature is that the line between language author and program author is razer thin. You can completely change the language yourself by extending core classes. This is why we have `1.day` in Rails even though its not supported in the main language. DHH (author of Rails) could add that without consulting Matz (author of Ruby). So lots of stuff gets prioritized to make developers happy because its easy to add.

In Ruby the messages you receive are passed up the chain of ancestors. Your ancestors are a linked list of classes going back to a root class like `Object`. You can modify this linked list at will with mixins and inheritance with complete control (should I go before or after this other receiver).

Ruby's REPL and debugging experience is amazing. I often keep one tab with an `irb` or `rails console` open to sketch things while developing the code for it elsewhere. I'm also always inside a debugger to figure things out. When I'm in Rust or Python I'm met with a very different environment.
Ruby except with Python style imports where you had better god damn explain in explicit detail where every symbol in the file came from would pretty much be my ideal. Python from blah import * is banned in pretty much every codebase but in Ruby that, or worse autoloading, is all you have.
Ouch, I partially address this in the next article
Kontroler: Creating a Workflow Orchestrator in Kubernetes
Hey! I’ve built a Kubernetes-native workflow orchestrator written in Go, designed to help developers and SREs automate complex workflows directly within their Kubernetes clusters. Kontroler integrates deeply with Kubernetes, leveraging CRDs, controllers, and event-driven execution to provide a scalable and declarative approach to workflow automation.

Key Features:

- Native Kubernetes Integration: Uses CRDs and controllers for declarative workflow execution.

- Lightweight & Fast: Written in Go for performance and efficiency

- Event-Driven Execution: Reacts to Kubernetes and external events seamlessly

- Cron Execution: DAGs can also be executed on a schedule

- Flexible: Designed to handle various workflows and will handle adding/cleaning resources such as PVCs to share data between tasks

The README.md shows some basic examples so you can get a rough idea of how DAGs can be created and ran.

I’d love to hear your feedback! Would this be useful in your Kubernetes environment? Is there anything missing from other tools you'd like to see in a workflow automation tool like kontroler?
strange. to my understanding renouncing your old citizenship was only ever required when you apply for a new citizenship. once you have acquired the new one while keeping the old one you would not even come into a situation where you would be forced to renounce the old one because no one from those two countries would ever ask you.
other countries might in their visa applications, but they won't challenge your dual citizenship either. the only exception is if you got both as a child, then when you turn 18 you may still have to choose.

I could see it happening with clumsy JSON parsing. in javascript, JSON.parse("null") would return null, and the string null would have to be JSON.parse('"null"').
It's possible to vouch for stories and comments.

You can also email moderators at hn@ycombintor.com to request unflagging. I do that occasionally, with mixed results. (I've come to know which are long shots, and typically concede the point, but at least make the attempt.)
Well, we are in a very volatile place if members of Congress can successfully be barred from government property by Elon Musk.

Based on some googling sounds like you're partially right, it was established as EO by JFK in 1961. But it was established as an agency via Congress in 1998. So the assertion that President can't dissolve USAID without Congress is in fact true. At least as of 1998.
For just $763, you can make a lot sit empty for 5 years
Wait is THAT why this got taken off the front page? Because it was on there for a couple minutes.
Same. I've been using Ruby+Rails for the past year as my company's entire back-end is Ruby. I found it to be ugly and almost intentionally designed to be difficult to read. The tools for Ruby (RubyMine, Ruby LSP for VSCode) are slow and unreliable. It also seems that debugging Ruby works sometimes, but not always, which is ridiculous. RubyMine has its own wacky debugger support, which breaks whenever there's a new Ruby release. VSCode tries to use rdbg, but frequently stops working.
Yes, because they assume that the license to kill with paid leave will be used against someone they don't like. It's a real "fix your hearts" situation. Watch this play out in the current fiasco with USAID.
> Checks and balances have been neutralized.

That seems somewhat inverted - the elected government is creating checks and balances on unelected bureaucrats.
At some point, you need to do the pro/con analysis. If you add minimum natural disasters risk, based on when I knew something about datacenter siting details, you were looking at maybe Las Vegas area (which also has access to Hoover Dam power). But, now, you're in extreme desert heat (predictably) in the summer and probably don't tick off a lot of other considerations either.
