> Obviously the 'nothing to hide' fallacy is nonsense, but so is pretending every communication warrants the highest security parameters at our disposal.

I don't agree with this view that every communication, especially online, does not warrant the highest security parameters at our disposal. Assuming there are alternatives with better privacy and security available, I believe we (or the ones who care about such things) should adopt those and evangelize those among others we know. The default should be to treat communication between different parties as nothing but their own business, and nobody else should be snooping around for any purpose.

Other than the above are concerns of a larger magnitude - most people don't understand the true implications of not having privacy/security until it personally affects them. So I always try to push people to use something that's better (may not necessarily be perfect) privacy-wise. Also, when the lowest common denominator is filled by privacy invading platforms, all of humankind stands to lose because of the way money is made by these platforms and how "easy" or "free" those appear to be in the eyes of the users. In a larger sense, we're probably sabotaging the availability and legality of private/secure/easy-to-use communication platforms for the people it matters most to, like those in a repressed regime, journalists/investigators who go against the current powers, etc.

TL;DR: (Usability concerns aside) We have nothing to lose by treating every communication as warranting the highest privacy and security. But we do have a lot to lose by doing otherwise.

I guess the "suckless" answer would be to not use OpenSSL.
You first need to understand that you're probably wrong on a bunch of concepts about code.

Programming follows some of the bad stereotypes of nerd culture (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qam4iiya1q0).

But no one really knows that much about all the technology world, and it is important to be humble about it. I used to be more arrogant when I've started programming, that was a self-defense mechanism against my insecurities, and by that I used to just reinforce the hype. A bunch of new hype technologies are not that interesting, they just repeat things that have been done before or they add layers that sometimes don't bring any benefit. So it is important to have a beginner's mind every time you read someone's else's project, because there's a thousand different ways of doing things.

Said that. It is fine to give constructive criticism, and to show other ways of doing things. One thing I believe is that all software is crap. And that we shouldn't treat code as if it was literature and an intrinsic part of our being. If you want to express your inner self, do art, not code. If you code for art, do the end project the art and not the lines of code that no one would understand anyway. It is important to detach the code from the person. And we need to assume that every line of code is a potential problem. We work to deliver features not code. Code is a necessary evil.

In summary: Think if you're not being aggressive due to your own insecurity. Of everything that there is to know in the code world, and how that can be scary. And try to give constructive criticism, give criticism to help people get better at their projects and deliver it, not to make them feel less valued.
I've got a project where it would be really nice to plot some math formulae with *TeX typesetting and then outputting raster or vector data in memory (to be rendered in a graphics engine).

Do you think such a thing would be possible with LuaTeX? I did glance over the article you linked and it's showing that it works pretty nicely for basic text, but can anyone shed some light if this works nicely for outputting equations, etc?
There's a big failure of game theory (and ists) with respect to MAD; unwinding it as a dominant game would be a Ph.D for sure...

Oh it's progress, no doubt. There's no question about that. What me and other skeptics argue against is these kinds of overly futuristic announcements that have no ground in reality, yet have people praising them like they are some kind of achievement by themselves.

Elon Musk grandly announces: I'm going to make humans an interplanetary species. This is such a grand and far reaching goal that were it to be achieved it would be by far, by very very far, the most important achievement of the human species so far. So far I've seen him put a rocket in orbit and land it again.* So excuse me if I tamper my enthusiasm.

Hyperloop, as you so mentioned? Yeah, he announced he would try to implement a concept already thought about, that without absolutely major breakthroughs in several fields remains impossible or at a cost of trillions of dollars, by far the most expensive private undertaking in history. So excuse me if I tamper my enthusiasm.

*(Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing achievement, it deserves all the praise it can get and I will be the first to give it. It's when he starts with these talks of master plans, and multitrillionaire projects, and making humans a multiplanetary species, that my brow starts to frown.m)

This is usually only true for amplification attacks. The new 1Tbps and 600+Gbps attacks reported about are direct traffic attacks from the actual bot IP addresses.
Secret chats are only for person-to-person communication in Telegram. You cannot have group secret chats. They're also restricted to the specific device that started the conversation and do not sync across devices. For a platform that does, look at Wire [1].

> it's been a huge ordeal to get my closest friends to migrate to Telegram at least. Signal was debated, but the lack of a good desktop client killed it.

I realize it's difficult to get people to change messaging platforms, but if you have such a chance again after sometime, I would suggest trying out Wire [1] sometime. I have been recommending it over the last few months for people to try because it has superior UX (though not on par with Telegram). It has desktop clients, all chats are end-to-end encrypted (there are no unencrypted chats at all) and messages are synced across devices. I'm guessing the end-to-end encryption makes it a bit slow to startup to sync messages. Notifications also seem a bit unreliable or not working as expected (that's why the after sometime before).

Wire also has cool features like doodling and allows voice and video calls too. All this said, Telegram is still the fastest in delivering messages, and keeps adding new features quicker than any other messaging platform I've seen in the last few years (WhatsApp is not a platform I monitor because I left it when it was acquired by Facebook).

(Lua)TeX only renders PDF and only on disc. The great typesetting (especially the math formulae) would make it feasible for such a job.

Depending on your need, LuaTeX can be quite fast. I have a project where I use a non-optimized version of LuaTeX to have a 'live' preview of a web form. It takes less than 1/2 second to run LuaTeX, generate a bitmap from the PDF and push it to the user. In most cases this will be too slow, but for me this was a good solution.
To add dynamic text search in project build on python-flask framework
Hello Everyone,

I want to implement dynamic text search in my internship web development project and that project is build by using python-flask framework and the database used is SQLAlchemy.
As I am new to flask and sqlalchemy also, so my question is very basic and maybe look silly but I will thankful if someone guide me a bit.

which tools and software I can used to learn and implement dynamic text search in my project.
You haven't looked at it at all have you ?
I've been into programming most of my life, but actually didn't get started professionally until my mid-to-late 20s. This gave me a unique view of said propaganda. It certainly lives everywhere including outside SV. I've been able to quickly recognize it being applied and thus desire other, better forms of compensation.

I think this is a skill we should strive to teach younger programmers, because if properly applied across the entire industry, we can raise standards across the market.

Just because they're willing to working 1.5-2X the hours doesn't mean they should be. Your time is valuable no matter how old you are
I don't see how B) would work in this case.

However, it could also simply be a huge pile of money getting burned, with a few useful innovations made along the way.

I would venture to say that is the most likely outcome, actually, although I prefer A) to happen, of course.

I've heard about this on HN a few times, but usability and flexibility really trump other factors on adoption rates. Federated secure communication sounds wonderful. I'm currently using Wire, Telegram and Signal, and I don't prefer the fact that all of them are run by single entities.

Recently, ripgrep was on the frontpage. It says "Linux binaries are static executables" [0]. If I run ldd on cargo, it spits out the usually glibc dependencies, but Rust libraries are statically linked. It seems to be the default behavior of cargo? I would describe that as "promote static linking".

Personally, I don't judge this as good or bad. There is no simple answer. Static linking has clear disadvantage wrt security patches. On the other hand, it makes little sense to dynamically link tiny libraries, e.g. a queue data structure.

Finding embedded/firmware startup jobs
Hi,

I have been looking for some challenging embedded/firmware
jobs specifically in startups. And I find very few of them
in these cities so far - San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale,
and nearby though there are quite a lot in SF area and nearby.
So, is there any quick and reliable way of reaching out
to those startups who work on exciting IoT projects, Embedded
systems design and development in the areas of space systems,
aviation/aerospace, wearables, etc, that have low-level/bare-metal
design and development roles? Being a passionate low-level
systems developer, I have been constantly looking for one
such startup to join where there is some cool project to
work on with talented people. And here are the places I have
searched so far for such embedded/firmware jobs :
1) Linkedin
2) Ventureloop
3) Startuphire
4) Indeed
5) SimplyHired
6) Startuply
7) Glassdoor
8) Monster
9) Dice
10) Embedded Resource Group
11) CyberCoders
12) Exhaustive google searches with various keywords to
search for new startups in bay area

Now, I want to know if there's anything else I can try
to find my job of interest - embedded/firmware role at a
startup. By the way, I do find many established companies
having tons of such jobs in my locality, but like I said
startups interest me more than these established ones
for various reasons.

So, do let me know if you have any suggestions to ease
my job search.

Thanks!
If you segfault, that's not because your state is corrupt. Not usually, anyways. Typically, you'll segfault from a use-after-free error or similar.
I think you'll find you can always add constructive criticism when you find an issue with bad code. The fact is a lot of people don't see an issue with bad code as long as it works. Asking them to spend more time on it will just annoy them.

I don't understand why this works. Why doesn't my ISP simply block outgoing packages with "fake" source IPs?
It should be easier managing devices that have access to the Internet on the router level.

Most can't understand access restrictions, IP Tables or installing custom firmware. There needs to be a common standard, API on each router to manage devices connecting to the Internet and seeing which devices do and don't.

This would open the doors to creating apps etc and possibly help mitigate threats from unknown Chinese IoT devices.
Yeah definitely. I actually work in academia (I guess I wasn't very qualified to speak about SV). But it's the same shtick everywhere. Passion has become an euphemism for soft corporate brain-washing.

But what would cause it to pop? There is still insane demand in popular areas, in large part because that's where the jobs are. I could only see that becoming more true in a down market.
I wouldn't worry. We can actually Get Stuff Done, which at the end of the day is what really counts. Inexperienced young programmers working 2x the hours do not necessarily produce Output That Works (I know, I've been one myself).
