I've been interested in paleoanthropology as a layman for a few years now. I find the Mousterian [1] culture / tools quite interesting, because it appears to be part of the history of hominid technological progress, the stepping stone to Châtelperronian tools, and yet also seems almost wholly attributed to Neanderthals.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but to me this suggests Neanderthals were actually more technologically advanced than humans at this time, and that as anatomically modern humans finally began to replace Neanderthal "civilization" they also adopted and used Neanderthal technology as their foundation.

Bash init files may not be particularly feature rich, but they are hardly "complicated".

90% of every file is boilerplate built around: stop, start, status (after all restart is just stop+start).

Proponents of SystemD can make some good points, but trying to claim init.d is complicated comes across as desperate.

However, that certificate is _still_ revoked right now. A _new_ certificate for the same names was issued on the 12th of January, presumably once the re-validation was completed. This isn't in violation of any policies. Sites on that new certificate such as https://royalduchy.co.uk/ do indeed work fine.

I love how YouTube is one of the few content platforms that's concentrated on making it possible for content creators to get paid.

less than 50000 downloads in Android and 60 reviews in AppStore in 5 years. I think you can get better numbers without marketing.

Seriously, whatever you do, you need to spend the same amount of time promoting it, otherwise no one will notice. 50000 downloads is nothing in 5 years, it is 2.7 users a day. If you are in SanFrancisco you can get more than 3 downloads a day just going to the street and talking with strangers.

And they got 2.5M in their series A. https://index.co/company/AppDotNet?utm_source=thenextweb.com

Where were their budget for marketing? At least I would have expected 500k in marketing and 1$ per install, them we can talk about the users not liking the product or whatever.

UPDATE: you can keep downvoting (I would appreciate a feedback comment to explain the downvote) but it doesn't change the fact that marketing is more important than the product and they didn't spend on it

Others have made similar points, but I think it bears repeating - Prime is (currently) a clearly inferior offering for music and video. In both cases, their selection isn't even close to their competitors and the UI/UX are so completely fucked that they're unusable a good percentage of the times I try to access them.

I agree that streaming media is becoming a commodity. If Amazon made modern apps and shelled out some cash for better libraries, they could deal serious blows to Spotify and Netflix.
Unless compatibility with gpg is a requirement, I think scrypt[0] is a much simpler tool for file encryption. The utility is meant to showcase the KDF of the same name. It's very simple and has virtually no parameters. So:

$ xz -k elrond_minutes.txt
$ scrypt enc elrond_minutes.txt.xz elrond_minutes.txt.xz.enc
$ signify -S \
-s vilya.key \
-m elrond_minutes.txt.xz.enc \
-x elrond_minutes.txt.xz.enc.sig
$ rm elrond_minutes.txt{,.xz}

Signing the final output is probably extraneous; I think scrypt uses a HMAC. This involves invoking multiple tools, but since each tool only does one thing it's much easier to reason about, and I prefer this over using an omnibus tool like gpg.

I have 16GB of RAM and I need to check usage 2-3 times per week because I run a lot of resource hungry apps. Computers can be used for other stuff, not just running a web browser.

CPU monitor is needed to see if some app is running or not. It's killing me not having that on Windows on a daily basic. For example, starting up Steam takes 5-10 seconds before you get any visual clue that your double-click on the Steam icon was acknowledged. On Linux and Mac I get feedback right away because I can see the CPU and I/O spike.

Problems with randomized controlled trials (or any bounded statistical analysis)
This is only somewhat true. Most shooters rely on the concept of a shot pattern - that where you place your crosshair is only statistically the center of where your shot will land.

This is actually exactly what real life shooting is like. There is RNG in the process.

What a developer CAN do is control just how tight the shot pattern is. One example is to have a wide shot pattern when the player is standing, tighter when crouched, and really tight when prone. Or use an "iron sights" mode for tighter aiming.
Bash is maybe not the best example because it's indeed a skill listed for many devops positions.
I like Germany's system of education, granted I went to a Gymnasium for a year, which seems like it's a better deal insofar as it sets you up for higher wage jobs.

But to push back a bit, the sorting process in 4th grade is incredibly unfair, especially to students with uneven learning (ie. are "behind" in 4th grade and thus are destined to be a low wage worker for their whole lives) or are immigrants.

And what's worse, well-off families can work around the system by pushing back if their child is "sorted" into Realschule or Hauptschule. Or, they can just opt to send them to private school instead.

So, it's not all roses. But outside tracking (which will never be a perfectly efficient), I think it is fundamentally a better than the U.S.'s education system.

Some people don't need to and shouldn't go to college. And, it's great if they can get an education that's tailored to them.

So, honestly, my resume is pretty lackluster compared to most. It's simple and factual. I have 4 sections: a summary (a couple of sentences), my experience, my education, and "proficiencies" (coding languages, software, tools I know, etc).

You can see it here: http://russelluresti.com/resume/ (it prints basically the same way).

Most of what you hear in terms of resume rules is kind of nonsense. The whole "one page only" thing I think works fine for the start of your career, but I'm not going to limit myself to it. I also believe that talking about specific metrics, while it can be helpful, is really the opposite of what matters.

I believe that what got me my first couple of jobs was my cover letter (or the content of my website - they're usually pretty similar). Resumes don't usually excite people. There are a few extremely clever resumes out there that make you take notice, but the rest are usually a collection of bullet-points, and bullet-points aren't exciting.

If you want to to get noticed, don't tell people WHAT you do (every resume does that), tell people WHY you do it; this is what will make you stand out and has a much better chance of creating excitement. Specifically, talk about ethos. If you and your potential hiring company align there - on your beliefs and motivations - they're going to be excited for you.

This generally goes against the normal advice people give for cover letters where they tell you to focus on talking about what you can do for the company and how you can be an asset. That advice is bad advice for this community (development, design, anything at all in the creative field). Instead, convince them that you care about the same things; that the passion that drives them as an organization is the passion that drives you as an individual. That's how you stand apart from your competition.

And if you can't, with a straight face, say how your values align with the values of the company you're applying to, you're applying to the wrong company.

That seems unlikely given Adobe's history of truly awful security flaws. It wasn't that long ago when they thought that it would be a good idea for their add-on to pre-render PDFs in RAM silently in the background, including executing any embedded code without any sandboxing. Combined with browsers' prefetching of urls in a page (so that it would load quicker in case you clicked it), this caused a number of rootkit and other malware infections - from links that people didn't even click in search results and URLs served up in advertising or in comments/forum posts.

The only permission needed by a PDF viewer should be 'display PDF document content'. It shouldn't need to read or change other data, manage downloads, or communicate with anything to display an e-book or document. If it does, it's probably not harmless.

I use Spotify since I get it for free with my mobile phone provider (well, not actually free, but it's cheaper with my provider than on its own).

Discover weekly is usually really good and choosing good music, it's a shame that it's only once a week. Spotify radio is also usually quite good and making a playlist of songs based on an artist or a song.

They also now have "your daily mix", which I'm fairly sure only takes songs that you've listened to before, but often gives me songs I haven't heard in a while.

They also have running radio, which matches songs to your running pace. I don't use it though, since I don't run.

I haven't used any other streaming services out there, but Spotify does everything I need it to. The one thing it doesn't have is Taylor Swift, but none of the streaming services do.

Before Spotify, I had actually never paid for music, I'd usually torrent it (or sometimes use youtube). But the sheer convenience of Spotify has caused me to hand out a few bucks a month for it.

That's a strange definition of "hamper" you have there. What's being optimized for a "pro" computer or "ultrabook"? It's computing power, and expandability.

Ask HN: How do you deal with the mild depression?
I think I have mild depression. Nothing excites me besides making money. I liked hiking until a year back, but I have lost interest in that as well. I go the gym, but that does not make me feel better.

I changed job 4 times and moved to new cities. For first couple of months, I get excited and want to try this and that. Then as soon as I figure out everything, I get bored. I work for a top tech company, but everything seems so simple. In fact, at my previous startup I worked on very hard problems. There is no excitement at the job.

I think lack of social circle is also makes me feel down. But, I don't feel like making efforts to go out of the way to make friends. I tried talking to people at a coffee shop I frequent, however I feel like I am making desperate attempts. I have stopped trying since then.

I haven't been to psychiatrist and don't want to visit as long as I can. I do have vitamin D deficiency though.

Do you have any suggestions or home remedies for dealing with mild depression?

You forget that sysvinit also required fun extras like supervisord to run simple executables because it relied on applications demonizing themselves.

Writing systemd unit files for my applications is a breeze compared to the shit I had to do for sysvinit - especially when I factor in apps I DIDN'T write that I need unit files for (teamcity, etc) and there's less surprise with SELinux policy transitions (and unlike most setenforce 0 is not the first thing I run on a server, I work in healthcare and a solid MAC layer is important to me).

Who said the unit philosophy was the be-all, end-all? Unix doesn't even believe it's own philosophy because it's too damn painful. Why does ls do sorting? Why does grep do -R recursive searching? How is that "Do one thing and do it well"?

Unix is just a collection of random decisions made by various people over the years. The Unix philosophy is really more like "I've always done it that way so don't you dare change it".

fork/exec is garbage. Signals are garbage. You basically can't make any API calls after fork or in a signal handler because threads came after. The interaction of fork and threads is bananas and many hacks have been required over he years to paper over the problems.

The layout of /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin, et al isn't a good design. It's dogshit but it was necessary because early Unix file systems couldn't span multiple volumes and early disk systems were small.

The C compilation model of separate header files is not a good design. People have retroactively determined some of the side-effects are not only good but The One True Way. In reality the design was a result of extremely limited RAM and slow CPUs. The preprocessor itself was never designed, just grafted on ad-hoc.

Unix file permissions are shit. Every unique combination of permissions requires a group. Owners are by simple integers. NFS legitimately gives people nightmares.

Let's not even get into everything is a file, except when it's not, and some files are more equal than others.

What about dependency hell? How's that "simple" model working out?

The "Unix philosophy" can piss right off.
I've looked into this to heat a aquaponics system and never seen a way to make it economical, it costs massive amounts of money to install.

I'd probably respect SystemD a lot more if it measured itself against a modern init system like Gentoo's OpenRC instead of pretending it's invented dependency handling.

Good suggestion. Will do that. Thanks.
Pid 1 runs its own DNS server now. It also launders kernel calls for non-setuid xorg (breaking rootless x on non-systemd boxes, since the kernel can't be bothered to consistently check process uid or gids, apparently). In turn, that means it must have some baroque authentication subsystem too. There is no way you need that in init. The amount of ancillary damage systemd causes far outweighs any possible benefits there are to improving init.

Also, I have never seen a systemd box emit log lines like that for a failed service. It invariably points at some useless logfile with obscure systemd messages in it instead of the stderr of the failed process. This is on clean ubuntu and debian installs. Maybe it is user error, but I doubt it. (Though there is no command line in the examples...)

Anyway, I'm happy to cleanse with fire instead of RTFM at this point. On a related note, I just learned the solaris init system and started using openbsd's again.

I prefer them both to systemd. They are at opposite ends of a spectrum. The openbsd approach is well curated shell scripts. I think systemd was heavily inspired by the solaris thing.
> Bash init files may not be particularly feature rich, but they are hardly "complicated".

Are you trying to make the argument that shell scripts are simple, easy to read, and maintainable?

Permit me to disagree.
App.net'S failures, IMO, were not a result of being too early as Dalton suggests. Instead, they failed at building a company. Confusing branding, wrong messaging, and ultimately a product without a need. That's why app.net failed.

Why would you run the Exec command through systemd-escape? The help text says that's for the NAME of the unit... Am I missing something?

Also, I'm failing to think of a scripting purpose that requires you to place non-trivial bash directly in a systemd unit that couldn't be solved by writing out the script somewhere and just invoking the script in the unit.

This seems like a pretty fair and obvious way to move forward: the electricity isn't free, and it doesn't seem like they are attempting to turn a profit off of the electricity cost like a Gas station does. It curtails the externalities of Uber/Taxis freeloading off of infrastructure that has ongoing costs to maintain but provides a good value for buyers for a few longer distance trips.
They seem to have a decent number of partnerships going on. My Mazda dashboard has Pandora integration built in.
I thought that was the part of systemd that was universally liked? The best arguments against systemd seem to be that everything becomes implemented in or tightly bound to it.
Systemd ideas I'm all for but it only hints at linux lack of clean abstraction power. sysvinit was full of redundancy; apparently BSD found a way to make a thin abstraction layer to make init files clean.

Bash isn't "good" at hinting proper abstractions, I rarely see talks about this, maybe gurus can see through the rain.

I keep seeing a place for a tiny lambda friendly intermediate layer .. Just so you can compose properties of your services like clojure ring middleware.

(->
(path "/usr/bin/some-service" "arg0" ...)
(wrap :pre (lambda () ...)
:post (lambda () ..))
(retry 5)
...
(timeout 5))

Is this ugly to your eyes ?

ps: the idea is that (retry 5) is a normal language function, and not a systemd opaque built-in, you can write your own thing, and the most used can go upstream. Hoping to avoid the sysvinit fragility and redundancy.
The Schiaparelli Lesson – Unusual and Faulty Conditions
I don't feel they should. These are arguments I haven't heard before either and I'm glad to see more of these weird cases laid out.

I run Gentoo (OpenRC) and Void (Runit) on my own systems, and although I do like both of them, I find the total lack of alternatives to the systemd ecosystem troubling.

As a package maintainer, I do like being able to create rpms/deb files and only needing one standardized init script, so there is are a few advantages to systemd, but not many. It's complexity makes it difficult to create drop in replacements (work has stopped on uselessd and others).

There needs to be more community support for distros like Void and real alternatives. Articles like this encourage that kind of thinking.
