>Noticed hn in general seems to consider VP pretty senior

It's not that the position referred to is simply interpreted or "considered" as being senior, but that VP is the title for the highest seniority, or highest behind SVP, below c-suite at most tech and other non-finance companies. VP simply has a completely different meaning in finance, that has nothing to do with what other users here are referring to.
Synergy still exists, but barrier has forked again to input-leap.
They do, if you issue the transactions concurrently (i.e., multiple DB connections). This is "group commit" as referenced in the article.

You can't batch sequential transactions without violating the semantics of `COMMIT`. (Data is after all not durable if it's not flushed to disk!) Hence such behavior is not the default in quality databases.

If you are issuing many sequential writes and you don't care about them being individually committed, you can and should group them.

It's water that floats anyone's boats. It's the physics+linguistics. The problems start when people try to substitute the meaning of things.
US credit reporting agencies use Social Security Number (SSN) as a primary identifier. Generally only US citizens and permanent residents have SSNs. Credit reporting also uses US residential address. I don't think foreigners can just start a credit reporting.

I will put aside the complexities in banking and regulation involved in "having a go at making a credit card."
PayPal is certainly trickier. I felt more comfortable testing with buying Amazon Prime through an Amazon account, because it would be easy for them to refund.

I assume I thought of trying to remove the email address! :) I sometimes forget they’re not necessarily the only identifiers, and some accounts let you use a mobile number instead. Probably there wasn’t a mobile on the profile.

It would be nice if all accounts used a username, and allowed you to not have an email or phone if you tick a box saying “I don’t care if I get locked out of this account forever if I forget the password”.
spaCy’s weasel package allows you to put a bunch of commands meant to be run in sequence in one project.yml file, pull assets, etc—- I find it to be the right level of abstraction and I’m pretty sure it’s not trying to become a cloud hosted do everything tool: https://github.com/explosion/weasel
No way man. My kids love Bluey. You're right that they don't understand why (or that) we love Bluey way more than the other shows they also love (which mostly suck) but what's so brilliant about it is that it's top-tier for them, while simultaneously being #1 (by a lot) for us.
You can absolutely make cheese from pasteurized milk, and in fact the vast majority of cheese is.
> The US hasn't blocked other countries from transferring more old F-16s to Ukraine.

Most of those transfers were done in the context of upgrading a fleet (with F-35); They did block the transfer initially.

> On or about 2025-03-07, the US apparently cut off intelligence support for the AN/ALQ-131 electronics countermeasures pods (jammers) carried on some F-16s

If you cutoff a feature of the equipment you sold, it is effectively a kill switch; its not really relevant what was the political rationale of cancelling the subscription. Thing is, this dumb flex move (it is possible to migrate the jammers to european platforms) just killed the F35 commercial roadmap, and will make the just-announced F47 a dud (it will be a struggle to find partnerships on this one with the same terms).
The purpose of that meme is to annoy me with its inanity
Regular YouTube has shorts though, which has kids watching bizarre and totally inappropriate stuff.

Yeah, this. I love love love Bluey, but I also often think, "get a job, Bandit!" :)
And more drama from the machine that is being the FUD created over every misstep of RHEL/IBM. And I mean misstep not evil attack on the community. CIQ is the worst of FOSS and a blight causing nonsense arguing rather than actually contributing to a better community.
If the majority of your retention work is escalations and meetings at the time they want to leave, you're really holding this management thing wrong.

I've done this 3 times in 20+ years as a manager. It's not exactly super-common.

When it happened, it took maybe a day total. (Seriously, one of your jobs is to have good relations with your execs. If somebody wants to leave due to a better offer, you need to be able to go to your exec and say "hey, we need to counter this offer, make it so please", and they trust you - you can't have endless runarounds at that point)

Yes, there's a lot of unseen work, but active retention measures is so tiny a blip, it doesn't even matter.
The point here is that a patent troll isn't really a "business." There would be no real reason to work with the patent troll outside of the extortion they're using the patent for. Given the options for engagement are "settle or be sued," a friendly approach was never really an option.

Given these parameters, how would making them a pariah change the functioning of the business?
Could the legend of Atlantis just been a reference to early European sailors visiting North Africa, across the Mediterranean?
Yes! I use Brave Browser on their ipad. There's a setting to remove Youtube shorts (and avoid commercials).

I've also periodically open their ipad and p;lay educational videos to get them on their homepage. Youtube will still stick videos of 40 year old adults acting 14 and doing weird stuff. I still need to be near them whoever they use Youotube.
DIY ASCII Paper Tape Reader [video]
Especially since having a second child start growing up, I've realized it's actualy four stories, often all compelling at once. There's Bluey's story, and there is the dad's and mom's story, but there is also Bingo's story, about being the younger child. My younger kid loves the episode called "Bingo", which is specifically about Bingo.

This sea level hinge idea points towards an area to look that didn't get pushed underwater. As far as I have read people are looking and finding signs of humans. The north end of Vancouver island and the Brooks peninsula also may have stayed glacier free during the ice age.
> They have at least one more right than foreigners. They have to let you in.

I don't believe that's true, at least in practice.
First, I would recommend to add some pricing guidelines, I presume the service won't be free. I would not expect definitive commitments, but will it be o1-pro pricing or Deepseek pricing? Second, tried to sign up with my google account, google said app was blocked because it tried to access sensitive information. So...
This is pretty much how I always wanted formulas in my notes to look like (but was too lazy to implement it myself, I guess). It's not even so much about fast input, it's about that it needs to be at least somewhat readable in plain text (not rendered), which LaTeX certainly isn't. Typing greek letters and stuff is not really a problem with XCompose, but TeX-based tools are too dumb to render "naïve" expressions pretty. I am not sure why: it seems not a huge computational task to figure out that ] is a `\right]`, and it's not like I often need to use `\left]` anyway. And while rendering `(a+b)/a` as a `\frac` is opinionated, honestly, the only reason why this occurs in my notes is when I was too lazy to type `\frac{}{}`.

I want this to be the default (or at least an option) in all markdown text editors (obsidian, github, etc.) I mean, as an intermediate: in the end MathJax rendering is much prettier than plain MathML.
Bluey doesn't do it as innuendo either. I like Bluey and Ghibli the most of all children's media I'm familiar with, for exactly this reason.
Push off if you think Alma isn't this. The differences are miniscule and basically amount to Alma's customers preferring to have some stream back ports first effectively.

If Rocky is claiming they're better their either breaking rules or lying. And if the community believes them I'm just going to walk away and talk to the business small medium and large putting their money where it matters, not in more CIQ FUD.
It used to be a "long form" every ten years, now it's the ACS every year.[1] I didn't realize until now that they'd continued the long form in another, um, form.

Technically you're required to respond, with a fine of $100 per question if you don't (with 50 questions). However, in the past half century the government has not prosecuted or fined anyone for failing to respond.[2]

For anybody who’s wondering what happened next, this is from the above link:

“Monster's counsel had made a horrible mistake, and probably caused lasting harm to the company, by sending me that ridiculous letter. But he, and Monster, did apparently know the first rule of holes: "If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging." The end, therefore, of the story was a bit anticlimactic. Knowing that I was able to defend myself and knowing that they'd probably be sanctioned for frivolous conduct if they sued me, Monster fell silent. Not a peep was heard again.”
> Go stand next to the exhaust on a “modern car” and say that with a straight face. Everything that you see, smell, and hear is pollution, and it’s really not hard to notice.

Have you actually done this with recent cars? The exhaust doesn't really smell like anything once the emissions system is operating and that happens right away on newer cars with heated O2 senors and catalysts. Hybrids don't run the engine at idle or low speeds and might not run it at all at city speeds. Electric cars don't even have one.

> One other confound is that vehicle sizes have gone up massively

Particulate emissions are more related to the drivetrain than the vehicle weight, e.g. the Toyota Highlander Hybrid is a chunky beast but it's a "super ultra-low emissions vehicle" in the same category as the Prius or the Honda Insight.
Oh I disagree, my kids like Blue a lot more than Blippi. But they like better-but-still-dross like "Spidey and His Amazing Friends" about the same as they like Bluey, whereas their parents like Bluey about an order of magnitude more :)
No, community is more stable and professional.

Frankly given I get less issues than my Rocky counterparts working 1 rack over my look of "I told you so", every time, says it all.
Sorry, I didn’t get the reference. I’m a moron. My bad.
Your current children. It's highly possible that by now you would have had two other children. As you can tell, I do not myself, have children.
I am not sure I am enthusiastic with the slow march toward 'national security issue' being synonymous with 'me personally being spooked by something'.
These aren't dumb people. They know exactly what they're asking for. Privacy and security of the public's data is not a priority to them, surveillance and power is. Politicians would much prefer all communication in plaintext, to hell with individual freedoms and privacy, especially European politicians that don't come from the same traditions of freedom as the anglophone countries.

What politician do you expect to openly confess the above in public. These are world-leading politicians, i.e., professional athletes of lying and obfuscation.
Taiwan pursuing nukes by itself would be an excuse for an invasion by china. And Taiwan is mostly a small island; any hiccups on a nuclear program could have devastating consequences for the population.
> Summarise a meeting here. Summarise the report there. Summarise the email from marketing. Schedule a meeting with Jim. Turn the lights on in the kitchen for the housekeeper.

Isn’t that what administrative assistants and hired help do? To handle the minutia of triage and actually doing the stuff you’ve decided upon? And they actually have to do their job well because (reputation loss, employment, and legal)?
I remember reading somewhere that one of the motives for Bluey was to encourage Australian fathers to be more involved with their children. As a father myself, I recall many times watching the show and being like “damn that’s a good dad.”
> And the employer wants to pay the employee as little as possible for as much productivity as possible.

Yes, this is literally what I replied to in the first place.

Both sides want to get the most for the least.

It doesn’t matter how tilted the playing field is or is not, both sides have the same goal.

I never said that both sides have equal chances to get their goal.
Ha good point. If there was any justice in the world, Bluey would be worth about as much as Amazon.
BYD plans to make EV charging as fast as filling a gas tank
But it’s true.

The US has been ignoring its immigration laws for the last few decades (not just immigration, really).

All the while other countries routinely enforce their immigration laws. In Canada if you’re caught crossing the border illegally you will be deported. A number of people on student visa were recently told to “go home”. No nonsense enforcement, simply “follow the law”.

The US elects someone who decides to do the same and the media treats it like the collapse of a democracy. In the US illegally? Deportation. Caught crossing the border illegally? Immediately turned around. Simple enforcement of the law.

It does help if one keeps in mind that countries often use these travel warnings politically - Germany is upset the US isn’t interested in continuing the Ukraine war so does a little jab with the border warning.
Show HN: Resurrecting Infocom's Unix Z-Machine with Cosmopolitan
I recently spent some time looking at Infocom's original z-machine source code and bringing it back to life on modern systems. A month ago I released v3.0 of Status Line, my own bespoke z-machine for the Pico-8, and I was curious to understand more deeply the roots of the long-lived virtual machine. This blog post talks about the state of the original source, the porting process, and the invaluable role Justine Tunney's Cosmpolitan project played in bringing the Zork trilogy to a wide variety of modern computer systems.

I have a queston: Why do they need their utilities to be written in Rust? Most utilities do not have to face the network, and most don't need to have root privileges. Heck, most of them are one shot programs and don't even need to free memory by the programmer. They could exit and return all the memory space back to the OS.
Which is why the likes of Eve Online employ real-life economists - is easy to get wrong.

Cobras aren’t really an arbitrage problem, except in the sense that the reward was (presumably) more than the cost of breeding them.
Yes! We also love Hilda. It's not great in the relatable way Bluey is, but it's just good art, in a way that is also appealing to kids.
Saying “it would be worse under Trump” seems entirely subjective?

I mean if you want common sense immigration it actually “got better”?
Is this article saying the Pitcairn Islands are in Antarctica? That is not true.
My reading is that the primary vector is based on the size of the chunks (due to deterministic chunking and length-preserving encryption). Would padding chunks with random-length data (prior to encryption) help mitigate this at the cost of additional storage (and complexity)?
I didn't know "tool AI" existed in 2016!
Sorry, but that’s incorrect. Multiplication is defined in the Peano axioms, in terms of S(x).

2 of the axioms are:

1. For all x, x*0 = 0

2. For all x, y: x*S(y) = x*y + y
Marketing doesn't affect the marginal cost of a movie -- the cost of allowing one more person to watch it.

Chunking Attacks on Tarsnap (and Others)
I have first initial / last name at gmail for a common Irish name. My wife has first name last name.

There’s about a dozen people who routinely use my email address. The Washington post let someone subscribe for a year without any validation. One dude lost a job offer because they couldn’t contact him. One woman was the general manager of a factory and emailed “herself” with a VPN client and excel spreadsheet with passwords to access the factory’s IT and SCADA systems. A detective sent crime scene videos. The most recent is a guy in Scotland who isn’t paying his electric bill.

My wife had someone who has stolen her accounts via retail employee resets at CVS, Sephora and others. She’s an executive at a big wall st bank, and spends a lot on makeup - my wife got lots of points when she reset the Sephora account back.
You have to wonder what it is with companies having “monster” in their names that makes them such monsters.

This makes me sad :(

But there are already so many great episodes!
It’s a magical place. Definitely go if you can.
My 3 year old loves YouTube kids, and I'll admit he gets a good amount of it. We make sure we're watching it with him, and we control the remote. Some channels/topics we all like:

- Aty and Ui, two pet otters in Japan. Their owner has made tons of videos showing what they eat, how they play, and the different rivers they visit. All dialogue is in Japanese and English subtitles. My kid now loves otters, I explain different things about animals or Japan to give context, and I get to practice reading Japanese.

- MIKAN, a channel with videos of "marbles" animated using a basic physics engine. There's no dialogue. There are races, factories, battles, and even a tower defense match. It helped him learn colors. Nowadays, he gets up and practically dances while cheering for his favorite colors. Indoor exercise isn't so bad. Some of the videos that aren't on YT Kids can be a little scary for toddlers (like alien abductions, not the dreaded shock schlock that pops up on YT).

- 5MadMovieMakers, a channel with marble runs and Hot Wheels tracks. No dialogue, just short clips of creative tracks with background music. My kid now loves coming up with his own marble and Hot Wheels tracks now (though he's still not good at planning out the whole thing to actually work).

I understand the concerns about using YT Kids as a babysitter. When he gets a tablet at my parents' and decides what to watch, it's things like cars driving over paint-filed balloons or the typical group of bros overreacting to a different stupid thing each week.
Portugal hasn't cancelled any order, because there is none. There were initial talks about the F35 program, but no actual commitment. I agree on stepping away from the F35 (as it raises valid questions on the maintenance autonomy), but most media outlets got this incorrect - Portugal has not cancelled an order, it just said it wont be considering F35 anymore to replace our (fleet of 6, I think) F16.
i do, but who knows if they dig deep and i want a solution with little downtime to get to my usual locking down.
RDP without the risk: Cloudflare's browser-based solution
I agree with this practice. Another benefit is it makes it easier (slightly, but still) to grep the man page for what the options do.

The corollary must be "write programs that take long options".
It absolutely reduces car dependency by giving better transit service. Every story about this for months has noted large improvements in bus speeds and reliability, and that is before any of the capital improvements kick in, all of which reduces the number of people who feel they need to take on the high expense of car ownership to avoid being late to work.
Please DO NOT mix string interpolation and command execution, especially when a command is processed through the shell. Whatever your language, use a list-based or array-based execution API that passes arguments straight through to execv(2), execvp(2), etc, bypassing the shell.
It's the reference manual. It's just a list of things you can do. If you like this specific thing, and think this should be the main way you express your build process, great. I think that too. Meanwhile with GitHub Actions you can also do this big pile of shit that the manual also describes: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/choosin...
STIGs are not inherited. It absolutely does not work that way.

I think you're reading into the changes completely wrong. AlmaLinux has power to actually do things, fix issues, contribute real and meaningful changes, all while maintaining 100% compatibility. A lot has been done already, with plenty more to come, with 0 compatibility issues.

It does. GPUs have full MMUs.
Zork was the first text adventure game that was successful enough to be sold commercially back in 1977.

As far as legal tactics go, I’m very sympathetic to his position and wish more folks would fight to the finish instead of settling for nuisance values.
This seems like a more effective direction to go in, instead of relying on encryption on your device and who knows what sort of legal BS you'd have to go through in order to get around being compelled to unlock said device.
But that’s what it’s called in English, the language the article is written in.

Germans don’t call the place they live Germany. They don’t even call themselves Germans. But I call it Germany because that’s the English name for that place.
I am getting old and I agree.
That this show came from Australia is telling, to me. TV execs in the US would never greenlight a show like this for production, and if they did, they would not be as hands-off as this show appears to be. This show is created 100% by creative people, and they are doing a bang-up job.

Zero entertainment executives in the USA would ever allow a show to be made without their own shitty changes stapled on.
