Yup. Traditionally, there was a lot of political resistance to classifying CO2 as a pollutant, but outside the context of politics in oil-producing countries, it seems faintly absurd _not_ to consider it one.
If people mention dubious and vague things about future promotions, raises, etc... I just tell them politely but clearly that I can only make decisions on the basis of information that is presently available and verifiable. If they're serious, they'll be able to substantiate with something written, corroborated by more senior folks, etc.

You'll almost certainly find that its just puffery, but if you give them a chance to substantiate and they don't, then they don't get to feel untrusted/betrayed later.
I've heard it referred to as "one of the greatest film scores ever written" and it's a defensible claim.

Glad to hear, looking forward to speaking with you!
i have to agree with a lot of sibling comments: i don't think 6502 is a good pick. first, it's highly atypical and limited. second, it's borderline RISC and i'd start with a simpler to use CISC ISA. CISC makes sense and was designed exactly for hand-written assembler.

VAX or 68K would be cleaner CISC ISA to learn first.

8086 (16 bit) x86 has the advantage of being ubiquitous and you can run on "hardware" everywhere. but the disadvantage of being a little weird wrt. segment registers. x86 32-bit is complicated, but at least flat memory space and you can mostly ignore the segments.

MIPS or one of the RISC-V variants is a second one to learn to contrast RISC
load/store with CSIC.

A bit of inaccuracy in the article:

> a typical Li-ion battery retains only 80 percent of its charge capacity after 300 to 500 cycles

That's off by 10x at least. Typical LFP batteries that are widely used now have thousands of cycles. Over 5K in some cases. Some of the solid state batteries that are coming to production in the next few years might do better. 300 to 500 is more typical of some older chemistries. Even NMC batteries used in e.g. Teslas have cycle life spans of at least 1500 or so cycles.

And for reference, if you charge and full de-charge your car that would be 1 cycle. A decade is only 3653 or so cycles (there might be 2 or 3 leap years). Most car vehicle owners don't charge nearly as often or so completely. A typical Tesla that is partially charged maybe once a week or so is not going to need a battery replacement until the 2040s or so.

Anyway, the article carefully avoids talking about energy density. Which is of course the key thing here. Together with other things like charging speeds. Operational temperatures, etc. These all matter.

This is a university study, not a plan to get this to production. Promising and interesting but probably well over a decade away from any serious applications. By that time we might have all sorts of other battery tech that is sitting a bit higher on the technological readiness scale on the market.
I still don't get why so many channels that should probably be on IRC moved to Discord. Yesterday I tried to share the output of an strace and apparently I have to pay to emit more than 2000 characters. Login to Discord is something that shocks me: every single time I'm told that I'm logging in from a new computer (wrong). Confim I'm human. Then need to check my email. Confirm. And relogin. This at least to me happens every single time. Reported to Discord obviously in vain. Never experienced such a login disaster in my life.

What is wrong with IRC and mailing lists that everyone jumped to Discord? Since I have started to use Discord couldn't find a single good thing about it.

> I would be pretty upset if I implemented Cloudflare and it started to inadvertently hurt my sales figures.

The problem is that all these Cloudflare forensics-based throttling and blocking efforts don't hurt sales figures.

The number of legitimate users running Arc is a rounding error. Arc browser users often come to Cloudflare without third-party tracking and without cookies, which is weird and therefore suspicious - you look an awful lot like a freshly instantiated headless browser, in contrast to the vast majority of legitimate users who are carrying around a ton of tracking data. And by blocking cookies and ads, you wouldn't even be attributable in most of the stats if they did let you in.

It would be like kicking anyone wearing dark sunglasses out of a physical store: sure, burglars are likely to want to hide their eyes. Retail shrink is something like 1.5% of inventory, while blind users are <0.5% of the population. It would violate the ADA (and basic ethics) to prohibit out all blind shoppers, so in the real world we've decided that it's not legal to discriminate on this basis even if it would be a net positive for your financials.

The web is a nearly unregulated open ocean, Cloudflare can effectively block anyone for any reason and they don't have much incentive to show compassion to legitimate users that end up as bycatch in their trawl nets.
This is the most likely scenario. Its not like the government has decided they no longer need to hang on to zero days to use against adversaries.

They've just determined these ones are either no longer useful to them, or adversaries have discovered and began using them.

My school started with a 6502 lab and then followed it with a 68k lab. That still seems like the right order to me all these years later. Starting with the smaller, more cramped chip and learning its limitations makes it all the more interesting when you can "spread your wings" into the larger, more capable one.

You scale up the complexity of the programs you need to build with the complexity of the chips. In the 6502 lab it was a lot about learning the basics of how things like an MMU works and building basic ones out of TTL logic gates. In the 68k lab you take an MMU for granted and do more ambitious things with that. There's useful skills both from knowing what the low level hardware is like as intimately as a 6502 can get versus the skills from where it is easier to program because you have more modern advantages and fewer limitations.

The other thing about that order was that breadboarding the 6502 hardware was a lot more complex, but it made up for it in that writing and debugging 6502 assembly was a lot easier. There are a ton of useful software emulators for the 6502 and you can debug your code easily before ever testing it on lab hardware. At one point in that lab I even just wrote my own mini-6502 emulator specific to our (intended) breadboard hardware design. On the other side, there a lot fewer software emulators for the 68k and the debug cycle was a lot rougher. The 68k breadboard hardware was a bit more "off the shelf" so it was easier to find an existing emulator that matched our (intended) hardware design, but emulator itself was buggier and more painful to use and ultimately testing on the real hardware was the only trustworthy way to deal with it. I also wasn't going to try to write my own 68k emulator. (Though some of the complexity there was the realities of hardware labs in that the hardware itself starts to pick up its own localized quirks from being run only on breadboards for years.)

Friend, I am not really sure what you are arguing. There website fundraising banner literally says they are against Trump, Musk and the rest. I'm not the one saying it, they are. If you disagree, your argument is with the Guardians editors.
Am I understanding the README correctly in that:

You can execute some nix commands to fire up an emulator for this CPU design? That's pretty cool, I wonder how hard it'd be to reduce it to a docker command?

If the person responsible for covering the plaques were a gung-ho MAGA Republican, I would have expected there to be some inkling that some effort was made to question this person. More likely, once the aggrieved realized that the "perpetrator" was like-minded, they didn't seek to draw him or her out. An argument from silence, but it is something.
People had 4 years to realize what Trump does, and yet they still take him at his literal word.

Trump makes noise, makes threats, says outrageous things... and then waits for the "adults in the room" to come and placate him. Then he takes those "wins" back to his fandom and parades them around. Sometimes his "wins" are even real, substantial victories... sometimes they're more like The Wall.

But no, the media, social media, and people in general are addicted to this cycle of outrage and terror.
I’ve worked on government IT systems and their definition of fully QA’ed code can be pretty heavy.

The project I worked on required that changes to be printed, documented, bound in a paper manual, and put on a shelf after it went through a QA process where somebody had to write a test script, print, and bind that. There was a whole acceptance procedure that a state official had to sign off on after all that before it was deployed.

That was only what happened after a feature was implemented—I can’t imagine what it must have been like to define, design, and implement the feature.

A lot of that is OK, but the insistence the state had on print, binding, and shelving the documentation felt a bit extreme. It also took forever to get changed from idea to production, which is a feature or a bug depending on your agenda.
Yes indeed. I'm a fan of getting the team to pick an already existing lint ruleset and then doing this. You can also set to only lint changed files if you want a gradual change over in existing codebase.
There's a big difference between being good at building something and being good at leading people.

The best leaders I've known or read about aren't the ones who go around talking about how great they are. They're the ones who listen more than they talk. They're the ones who understand that different people need different things.

The future won't be built by any one group claiming they know best. It'll be built by all of us, both in and out of Silicon Valley, working together, each contributing what we do best while respecting what others bring to the table.

There is already a heap of automation and tooling for inbound lead gen that ISRs use along with tools to easily research people/companies/org charts/etc.

Plug-ins for Salesforce also exist that do much of this once new leads are entered into the tenant (and they're also investing big dollars to AI-ify that flow).

Finally, inbound is a low-quality funnel compared to connecting through relationships or qualified leads from conferences and the like, so while, yes, this "could" augment a $45k/yr ISR role, inbound lead gen/lead qual is only a small part of what ISRs do.

The trouble with AI and junior engineers is that they tend not to have the skills to tell what is good or bad. It used to be the same problem with code taken from stack overflow with no understanding.

I'm guessing you're imagining a scenario here were a journalist has copied an entire article verbatim and republished it in their newspaper. That would actually be both copyright infringement AND plagiarism. Newspapers just rarely enforce that right.

Non-citizens don't vote, and can't vote.

Can you prove that the entire list of cleared votes, was indeed 100% of people who were ineligible to vote?

Judge shopping is the GOP's favorite passtime. I hate both parties but it's been the GOP's tactic for ages. Go read up on Donald Trump judge shopping until he got a stooge to clear him for possession of intelligence documents he was unable to keep. Bear in mind, that some of those documents were our intelligence files on Israel's nuclear weapons program. Why do you think the Saudis sponsored a fucking golf tour on Trump's courses once they had access to those documents?
Astroturfed by whom?
rbanffy gave two of the reasons (historical importance and obedience or lack thereof by technical employees).

My other reason is that the article reminded me of earlier discussions on Hacker News about actual and perceived government censorship (especially wrt Twitter), mass propaganda (fear of which was a motivator of the TikTok ban), and (actual and alleged) large-scale crimes (riots, drug trade from the US southern border, and illegal immigration).

I also had perhaps-unreliable impression that Hacker News tends to be sensitive to revisionism of history and truth in real contexts (communist China) and fictional ones (Nineteen Eighty-Four)

Something about CS or being a developer really seems to brain poison a lot of people. The "I understand and am good at this one complex thing (computer programming) therefor I'm naturally able to just pick up any other thing better than anyone else" attitude is rampant, maybe it's just being in the space and the money these people have just amplifies their voice that much more above others but it's really common and pernicious.
Last I am going to post on this, but its fascinating the pushback even on this site against what I wrote. Everything I wrote is literally from the Guardian's site. People are insistent though, not that they did not post it but that I am still somehow wrong and that my posting it is evidence of some sort of bias. We have become so echo chambered that we demand that others ignore the evidence of their own eyes. Some even arguing that it's right for news to be biased as long as its against Trump.

I want all news sources to be honest, that lack of neutrality is exactly what led us to the current situation where there isn't a single trust worthy news source. You cant go anywhere just to get the facts. You want another Trump, a biased media is exactly how you get it.

One reason I might accept one or more NOs to your questions:

Does the refactor support pending work, which isn’t directly related to the refactored code, but benefits from the lessons learned and applied in the refactor… even in some indirect way?

This might be providing a clearer pattern you’ll apply to similar new functionality; or it might be providing a new abstraction or even eliminating a failed abstraction which sets that pending work on the right path.
Trump was elected, and he was born in the US, though he does have German ancestry. As an immigrant myself, I personally find it very worrying though that it becomes normal to use foreign descent as a slur in the American political debate. I thought at least the left is supportive of immigrants, but looks like it's conditional on political views and no person of foreign descent can feel safe from attack because of their origin.

Honestly, I was going to nitpick, but this definition scratches an itch in my brain so nicely that I'll just complement it as beautiful. "We reason to see God", I love it.

(Also, if I might give a recommendation, you might be the type of person to enjoy Unsong by Scott Alexander https://unsongbook.com/)
"What the government didn't reveal is how many zero days it discovered in 2023 that it kept to exploit rather than disclose. Whatever that number, it likely will increase under the Trump administration, which has vowed to ramp up government hacking operations."

This is a bit of a prisoner's dilemma. The world would be better off if everyone disclosed every such exploit for obvious reasons. But if government A discloses everything and government B reserves them to exploit later, then government B has a strong advantage over government A.

The only responses then are war, diplomacy, or we do it too and create yet another mutually assured destruction scenario.

War is not going to happen because the cure would be worse than the disease. The major players are all nuclear powers. Diplomacy would be ideal if there were sufficient trust and buy-in, but it seems unlikely the U.S. and Russia could get there. And with nuclear treaties there's an easy verification method since nuclear weapons are big and hard to do on the sly. It'd be hard to come up with a sufficient verification regime here.

So we're left with mutually assured cyber destruction. I'd prefer we weren't, but I don't see the alternative.
