I don't know the figures for the US, but in the UK roughly 10% of developers are female. So it's not surprising that a startup with 9 developers might have no female developers.

There might be an issue due to hiring methods (i.e. recruiting through venues that are male dominated, adverts being tailored to males, etc.), but the overwhelming reason is likely to be the lack of female devs across the industry.
Silly question: Can Github just carpet-block all Chinese IP addresses? Would this mitigate the attack? Or is it that GH doesn't want to punish real Chinese users (some of whom may well be paying customers) for their government's tactics?

L7 attacks come down to how much you can cache. If GitHhub was a purely static site, they wouldn't have trouble serving the requests themselves in any case.

Github can solve this problem with CloudFlare to the same extent that Github's product can be replaced with a hundred nginx servers with 10Gbit uplinks, large RAM caches, and effectively zero CPU time spent on each request.
Yeah, I understand why they're doing it, and I think it's great since you can't really expect kids who grew up poor to have that kind of money at 17 or 18. If you're coming out of a sub-par school system and you spent your childhood constantly worried about money issues, you're doing well just to qualify for those kinds of schools.

I just wish there would have been SOME kind of retroactive forgiveness for those of us who were well below the family income threshold but were born just a couple years too soon. Don't get me wrong, I understood the implications of taking out huge loans and I'm doing pretty well now (finally making progress on the loans) - but it kills me to think I could have had the same education without the crushing debt.
I don't follow Al Jazeera America personally (I think they are mostly focused on TV?) but I know there are a lot of parallels to RT.

It's not blind "hate" for Al Jeezera as much as concerns that the parent organization is owned by the rulers of Qatar.

The U.S. is obligated to protect and defend individuals and corporations that don't violate U.S. policy. Not some foreign policy.

And for people who follow the LNT protocol, and perhaps even carry other people trash, the next step I suggest is to destroy bushcrafters' "shelters".

They disrupt soil, more often than not made out of live cut trees (and hinder wood decomposing when not) and 9 out of 10 times, will come with beer cans/tp scattered around and it's illegal to 'build' them on public land.

If you happen to see one, destroy it, you'll be doing well for the environment. In fact, USFS and NPS often do just that as part of their job.

Here is one guy who's work on that field inspires others:

I know, but then the path forward would be to fix it, instead of dropping it on the floor without any plan going forward.

After all, SPARC ADI is used in production, and ARM as well (partially with iOS, enforced in future Android devices).
>Come on...

... what? I haven't commented on the quality of the article at all.

Perhaps your confusion lies in my saying, "This article is more informative than anything...", but that was just me saying that the article was written as an informative piece, not a piece of news, because TheDrive is a magazine and not necessarily a news outlet.
Are you actually on Parler? It doesn't take 100% support for the actual malicious act think of it like a funnel.

Say 45% support their party

70% believes in the lie that the election was stolen

20% believes that violence is warranted

10% is willing to do violence.

Start with a population of over 330M and you get over 2 million insurgents.

Peace requires those funnel steps to be way smaller.
The Mac client has it.

I did find out the hard way that the combination of Mac's VNC server and my client on Windows send a stream of press-and-release messages when I press and hold the space bar on the remote side.

It took me a surprisingly long time to figure out what people where describing when I tried to speak.
You can't spoof a sticker you don't know about, because they handed it out that day. It's a shared secret.
In the 1980s, the NYPD used elastic headbands. There was a color or pattern for the day, and plainclothes cops were issued the proper headband at the station.

I wonder what they're using now, headbands being so over.

The other issues is what "Thing" was left behind in the Capitol.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_%28listening_device%...

Imagine something like 'The Thing' but with ~75 years of technological advancement.

The Capitol is going to need to be cleaned for such devices and equipment for a long time before it can be considered secure again.

On the flip side, any devices that may be found are likely to be close to the latest models, and like with project SATYR, the US may have a potential goldmine of new tech in the coming years.

EDIT: Combined with the recent hacking of the US, the synergy of having physical access creates a load of headaches and nightmares. If I were in the federal information security space I would be very interested in visa and flight logs in and out of the US right now.
Engineers don't care what side anybody is on, as long as the tech works.
Well... keep in mind that the NYC subway opened 110 years ago while the MTR started in 1979. It's brand new!

But yeah, the signage is terrible. Paris's system is even older and even if you don't speak much French it's still easier to find the right exit than it is in NYC.

Quite interesting! Is there any source code available publicly for this?
Is the "Mem" column saying that lzham used 4800 megabytes vs gzip using 1.6 megabytes? If that's so, it makes lzham much less attractive for console and mobile games. If that could be reduced to 8 while still being faster than gzip, then it would be very interesting.

For anyone publishing compression benchmarks: Please, please include memory usage in the report! Very few reports bother to do so at the moment. Meanwhile, many compressors take the assumption that since 16 gigs of RAM is cheap these days, that means using a few extra gigs to get a speedup is totally reasonable. It may be reasonable for you, but it makes the algo useless for me.
> it's an incredibly efficient way to disrupt a nation.

Only if a nation builds a domestic spy program, and intrusive and expensive domestic security apparatus, and starts multi-trillion dollar wars in places that say Graveyard of Empires right on the label. Who would be such idiots?

Apparently they now route a decent % of all calls.
I saw the headline for this submittal, saw it was unixwiz.net, recognized Freidl and thought hmm... didn't I just post that? But ironically when I arrived at the page it appeared very different to me. The article I posted a year ago seemed shorter in comparison and to me it would seem Freidl has updated it a lot... but I could be wrong, as is often the case.
correct me if i'm wrong... but in order for this to catch hold, we'd need to know why this distinction doesn't have a significant effect in the classical world? e.g. for relativity, we know that time dilation doesn't have a measurable effect because we move at very speeds.

anyone have an idea why this wouldn't show up?
... Then Steve Jobs recommended simply giving one earbud to the girl.

Not to disregard or in any way invalidate your point, which has been taken, but did Steve have a solution for the possible ear wax issue, or does his famed reality distortion field extend to ear wax as well? I'm generally not keen to use anyone else's earbuds, nor am I keen to lend mine to anyone else (and they're not even the kind that you need to wedge into your ear).
Really disappointed at HN's recent stance on both crypto and GME. Far too many calls for regulation and control.

This is not the free market proponents platform I used to know.
Someone once remarked to me that "you can understand a lot about the US by remembering it was founded by people whose religious beliefs were too crazy for 17th-century Europe."
Can you use sourcetrail on properitery codebases as well? I see it's GPL and according to my understanding, it's okay to use it on properitery software as long as you don't make any modifications to the sourcetrail software itself. Are there any hidden commercial licenses before I try it out on my company's codebase?
In my view, there is no corporate or industrial work without coffee. Work from home may damage it a bit.
I don't understand why you believe NSCC "felt it was necessary for the world to stop trading GME".
I highly recommend https://youtu.be/4RS4JIEVyXM?t=60 -- I didn't understand any of this myself till watching that. (Still don't! But I'm less confused.)

My understanding is that the clearing firm informs everyone "Hey, we no longer support opening positions in three stocks specifically: GameStop, AMC, and KOSS."

Literally everyone, including Robinhood, was forced to only allow people to sell GME.

Somehow Fidelity was the only market maker to avoid this -- you couldn't buy GME anywhere else due to the clearinghouse's decision.

(Why was Fidelity the only broker able to sidestep the clearinghouse's decision? An interesting mystery; perhaps someone here knows the answer.)

Can AOL figure out how to turn crap-content to gold? Find out next week on ...
This has concerned me too, Dave. All you have to do is look at AOL's SEED Network with its tutorials on how to write a sentence with correct grammar to see they are paying $10 to help literacy as much as anything else. If you check out their "technology" network, would you be likely visit these sites for technology content? www.seed.com/aol-network/I certainly wouldn't!

It is scarey the power AOL has to dominate the first pages of search with this cattle-call strategy. This is a great argument for curated content like Regator's and for additional filter systems for news with a clear editorial slant life Huffington Post or Drudge Report.

On the other hand, this onslaught of vanilla content from AOL may help traditional newspapers sell online subscriptions so consumers can at least know the editorial slant. The NY Times is offering an online subscription keeping much of its print format for ~$4.50 a week and I am thinking now it may be successful after all.

Actually, I rather like "I Can Has Cheeseburger" because LOLCats are just so stupid. I think Letterman started it with his "kitties" nonsense. I prefer this one for LOLDogs, however: ihasahotdog.com/
It's a lie in the same sense unicorns exist is a lie. No evidence justifying the claim has been presented in court, despite ample opportunity. This tells us the persons making the claims had no valid evidence.

All that exists is self-justifying propaganda.
The whole point was so government officials could decide what was fair, and what wasn’t.

So full blown censorship by controlling who gets access.

It depends on which direction we goes. If the elections really weren't stolen, then we will see things even out. If they were ... well you're wrong about Democrats retaining control. It's not Democrats vs Republicans.

It's establishment vs everyone else.

Let me ask you something: Do you ever think we'll see another person not blessed by either the Bush or Clinton family on the Iron Throne of the Whitehouse? Trump was the only on in my lifetime.

From the 1980s until 2008 we always had a Bush or a Clinton in the Whitehouse and until 2012 Clinton was still Secretary of State. Two royal families have ruled America for my entire life until 2016. Obama and Biden are clearly part of House Clinton.

America is just a monarchy with term limits.
Okay. But when Twitter or whoever takes your post down, how does treating them "as a publisher" help you? It doesn't. They have a 1st Amendment right to do that.
Most design systems solve things specific to that particular company. And the vast majority of available design systems (that is whose documentation or even components are opensourced or publicly available) are any combination of the following:

- abject shit. A material-ui or bootstrap wannabe with poorly thought-out colors, spacing, and interactions. And often has the same problems with sizes, affordances, contrast etc.

- underpowered. Contains too few components beyond the simplest of the simplest buttons and a tab control.

- underspecified (about 99.99999% of all design systems). Does not have any documentation on how elements interact, how they look and work together in complex layouts.
Would SemVer even strictly require a jump here? They didn't change what's usually thought of as the API of the library (i.e. if I don't compile it myself I don't really notice the change?), and that's what SemVer uses: "MAJOR version when they make incompatible API changes,"

> Well, the Dart VM is not like adding a backend to a compiler or VM - it is a complete VM in itself.

My straw-man idea was not to add the Dart VM to the browser, it was to add a Dart-to-asm.js compiler to the browser, as an AOT compilation step. This would not involve integrating the VM at all.

> It might not be practical for other browsers to adopt such a technology.

Given that there are at least three completely independent and highly competitive JavaScript JIT-compiling VMs from a variety of different browser vendors, I find this unlikely.

I think we are four levels into hypotheticals here. If every technical advance was rejected due to something bad that might happen four steps down the road, nothing would ever improve.

We surely never would have gotten JavaScript. That could have gone badly in tons of different ways (especially since, as the first execution engine in a browser, there was no backward-compatibility strategy). Who would have believed in 1995 that 15 years later this technology would have gotten pushed so far, and that the competition would be so healthy?

> So if Google sites force the Dart VM to be necessary to compete, that would basically mean that the other browsers cannot compete. Then there would be just Chrome, a single implementation of a web browser, dominating the market like IE used to.

The entire web platform is standardized (including Dart, which is standards-track). I would challenge you to name a standardized technology with a market comparable to the web in which one vendor is so dominant that all of the other competitors are defeated and it becomes a monoculture, despite a large demand.

If anything, I think the prospect of a web that cannot keep up with other application technologies far more likely and troubling.

> Lethal radius of the blast was estimated to be about 300 metres (980 ft). Once fired, the Genie's short flight-time [12 seconds] and large blast radius made it virtually impossible for a bomber to avoid destruction.

Why can’t you dive or climb just 150m in 12 seconds and be out of the blast range?

Short version: because it needs work whether it's a sunny day or the last embers of the burning world are cooling, and every condition in between. It needs to allow formatting of an arbitrary string, while not being able to allocate arbitrary memory when called, or take any locks, for that matter. Oh, and it needs to not slow the system to a crawl. And to be useful, its output has to end up somewhere a person can see it.

It would be a miracle if it wasn't incredibly complicated.
A year-ish ago I said something stupid/irresponsible on the internet about how to (theoretically!!) easily go about hacking into police depts in America. (Obviously won't go into details, but the vulns are not sophisticated and still exist). Someone ended up calling the police because they thought I was a bad "hacker" guy, and because my opsec was bad, the subpeona revealed info that was linked to me personally. Well, the police mustve forwarded what they subpeonaed to the FBI or some other federal LEA because my phone and also my home network became the target of some not-so-subtle hacking attempts for a few months after that. Like, smishing and quantum insert on my browser. Not sure if it was so noisy in order to harass or maybe they just didn't care, or maybe they're amatuers. I guess law enforcement really dislikes when you point out how to pwn them. Haven't flown since. Been wondering what will happen when I do. You can make whatever you want of this story.
If anyone's curious, Apple also donated $250–$499 in 2020.
Without a standard ABI, having c++ binary packages is a huge pain, requiring multiple artifacts for every permutation of compiler, os, and platform. It's less painful today than in the past, simply due to fewer compilers, OSes, and platforms, but it is still a problem.
It is not just academia that these problems are visible. It is same for engineers who have spent more time behind the desk in a software product oriented company.
To be fair, Signal hadn't released source code for their server for over a year before today ;P.
"based on the East Coast. My salary isn't bonkers but I'm comfortably in the 150-200k range before bonus."

There are lots of variations but my list is this:

No hypocrisy ( you all need to work hard while I'm only working 2h/day)

No superstars (high performers are fine but no high performing jerks)

No gossip

Fair and easy to understand reward structure

Things aren't made difficult deliberately ( 6 layers approval process)

Laziness and poor attitudes aren't tolerated.
Competitors, people actually wanting you to buy said product, the business selling since they get a cut, companies that process the transaction since they also make money.

Why didn't you buy said product outright and instead put it on a wishlist? Lack of money? Price too high? Dubious quality?

Most college classes don't require much writing, which is one reason most people write so poorly. If you want to become a good, or even reasonably competent, writer you need to practice. That is one thing that all of the books on self-education emphasize - get practice writing, especially write lots of short papers.
If all you see with languages is the dollars you can make with an hour of time then learn whatever the next COBOL, C#, Java or Python. If you are focusing on solving problems, then learning another language, especially one that allows you to approach problems differently makes a lot of sense. I haven't used Prolog in anger in about 20 years. But the experience with declarative, logic programming has carried over to nearly everything I've done (you'll see state machines differently and see other logic patterns you can generalize). The resume isn't the be-all end all. Programming is a portfolio profession. You can prove your skill by showing your work - even if it's just some toy you wrote for fun on the weekend.
I like our healthcare system here in Canada, but this is not fully true. There are often experimental or very expensive treatments that the provincial health care systems don't cover, and so every few months I hear about some medication for a rare disease or cancer that someone is struggling/lobbying to get covered.

One historical example is Herceptin, for treating breast cancer. It took six years to get the Ontario gov't to finally cave and cover it, meanwhile some people were traveling to Buffalo or other places in the US and paying out of pocket to get it. See this old article from 2005: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/ontario-makes-herceptin...

On average, yes, it is better to be a cancer patient here than in the US, especially if you're working class or poor. And I believe last time I looked the life expectancy and recovery rates statistics etc. bore that out.

But there are definitely medications and treatments not covered, still, and having extra insurance coverage is important enough that people I know have struggled to keep their jobs so they could continue to pay for their partner's treatments.

In general, in Canada, medical care is covered but prescription pharmaceuticals are not. Which needs to be remedied.
