I gave a talk about a lot of the same concepts this piece covers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2czluHsmog

it has a more visual explanation of the OSI model and how it relates to routing and different kinds of hardware. I also tried to explain some of the interesting problems in actually building out a network in the second half of my talk.

if anyone is just trying to learn the basics of networking I'd also strongly recommend the Juniper Networking Fundamentals online class, its free at https://learningportal.juniper.net/juniper/user_activity_inf... or you can find videos of it on YouTube.

Well, the President is the member of the Republicans that is meant to control the presidency. If that Republican cannot control himself then I don't think the rest of the Republicans would have any Democratic obstruction to worry about if they wanted to replace him with someone who does.
I don't know if it is the same in the US, but in the UK you would basically tell the credit card company this is their problem.
I don't see why he wouldn't get a credit-card chargeback authorized - he has clear evidence of fraud on the party of the seller, and evidence of the middle-man's (Amazon's) unwillingness to investigate further. As Amazon is accepting the credit-card payment they will eat the chargeback - if they do ever dispute this then elevate it to a small-claims court case and the judge will easily side with the customer.
This happens with books too, though in these cases it can be more difficult to spot beforehand (e.g. 20-30% off a cover price isn't too unusual). However, if the seller has _every_ book listed for the same price, something is very obviously wrong.

From those I've seen, it looks as though old and/or inactive accounts have been compromised. These have a decent history, possibly even a positive feedback rating, but no activity in (e.g.) the past 12 months.

I'm a huge fan of the interview process Ash Maurya recommends in Running Lean. I'd add to that the understanding Jobs to Be done (Read: Competing Against Luck by Christiansen) for an interview process that really get's to the base progress a user/client is trying to make in a given circumstance.

Poorly worded, and a bit conspiracy-feeling... but it's quite true. Of course, programming started as a Doctoral thesis-level role to an almost secretarial role, and so forth; it's happened before, and it will probably happen again.
I went from building products to consulting on building products. I still do software dev for some clients (if they are willing to pay enough to make my hatred of it worth it), but I have found this more freeing, plus I make more money, and get to use my brain more on the theoretical and experimental side which is fun.

Most of my clients are pre-rev/pre-money/broke, but the higher priced development work I do, offsets that.

I've also been dabbling in writing, and hiring writers to write for me.

BUT find a hobby that is outside of software development. I do hiking, photography, wood working, and writing. Maybe that will give you something to look forward to after work.
At the point in the distant future where you are worried about needing more HTTP error codes and considering reusing 418 it may just be easier to just add more digits to the protocol. In HTTP/1.x the status codes are plaintext and it's not like it would be that much of a change to most HTTP parsers. There's not really even a strong technical reason why they are three digit codes to begin with in plaintext HTTP, it's just an arbitrary choice.

The HTCPCP argument isn't all that valid as there are several recognized (IANA) HTTP codes [1] from HTTP extensions like HTCPCP. Note for instance all the ones from rfc4918 which is the WebDAV extension to HTTP, such as 424 and 507. Not all codes are from HTTP RFCs and I also think the "bug" here is that IANA has ignored rfc2324 for too long and should recognize the RFC as a valid HTTP extension with useful [2] HTTP status codes.

[2] Usefulness is a subjective measure, of course, but usefulness in jokes/play is still usefulness.
> MacOS very rarely patches this kind of thing

I think it's more accurate to say that Apple often takes their time patching these vulnerabilities. CVE‑2016‑2324 and CVE‑2016‑2315 were announced in March 2016 but Apple didn't release a patched version with Xcode until May 2016. Are there any major security vulnerabilities in git Apple hasn't yet released a patch for, other than this one?

But yeah, Homebrew gets the patches out much faster. It's probably the right move to prefer using Homebrew's git to system git.
You are offended by what, exactly?

That lotteries are a tax on the poor (who often cite gambling as a legitamit retirement investment option!)?

And you actually DON'T raise your chances, at all.

The odds are actually in favor of you lowering your standard of living by whatever you are spending on lottery tickets.

Look at the statistics on where the bulk of the money comes from for lotteries -- the poor, often people who can't afford food for their children.

It's offensive that a democracy would run state lotteries and advertise them to its most vulnerable people.

With Firefox, you get the best of both worlds. You get favicons, but you also get a minimum tab width so you can always read the first word or two of the page title. Rather than squishing down infinitely like Chrome, they just quickly scroll side-to-side more like Safari.

This is a crucial point. I'm told Brutalism was fairly functional when it came into existence; much of it certainly isn't any more.

Building structures with exposed structural materials means there's no space for hidden infrastructure like cabling and power points. Building structures out of concrete in particular is antithetical to modern technology - no one could have seen WiFi coming, but it's a major hurdle in all-concrete structures.

The shift to power outlets and internet connectivity is a major aspect of usability; it's a shame that so much of Brutalism is in colleges and transit spaces where people urgently want those things.

The code of conduct, I understand, banned creating an unwelcoming culture through biased behavior. Saying he's in violation of that rule is begging the question.

So I'm not moving the goalposts. They weren't really set in the first place. I'm asking, more or less, if it's fair for a code of conduct (explicit or ad hoc) to make employees responsible for how their words are taken.

Well, 128kbps sounds just fine on Beats headphones!

/s (I feel dirty just for typing the above.)

The streaming at 128kbps IMO has always been an anti-piracy measure; given that those previews are inevitably going to be scraped, make them just teasers rather than the real thing, and encourage purchase (or the cancer that is "Repost and Follow this random irrelevant promotion network to download" ... which is another problem SoundCloud needs to solve).

It begs the question, though - with such a large engineering staff, why has SoundCloud always linked externally for "Buy" links rather than running its own store? It could capture a lot more of the value chain and lower friction-to-purchase for indie musicians. Perhaps the reason was to not be competitive with its initiatives to get record labels (who likely prefer to drive sales through existing platforms for quixotic reasons) on board for SoundCloud Go. But perhaps with new leadership and recalibration, this could actually happen. RIP Bandcamp though... or maybe they just acquire them!

As the author says, this is what the credit card dispute system ought to sort out.
Operating a private, air-gapped LAN could be seen as circumventing ads on the Internet.
You are correct. Jean Baudrillard wrote a book about this called Impossible Exchange, that I recommend.

The issue I find with capitalism is that it attempts to swallow all other systems. For instance, consider another system religion--it is not uncommon for this system to have, overlaying it, a role in the capitalist system--the capitalist system's operation and the religious system's willingness to participate becomes prerequisite to the religious systems being able to operate or function at in the first place--just as the earthworms continual existence is secured only in so far as the dirt isn't suddenly translatable into economic value and consumed for profit. It's like capitalism is an unconscious dogmatism that everyone participates in because...and that why remains fuzzy.

I just don't appreciate the way capitalism, when interfacing with other domains, effaces all their values and meaning--though I suppose you could levy such criticism against any system, i.e. a closed religious system presumably wouldn't read any meaning into your available capital (ah, but so many of them do!), just as capitalism wouldn't read any value or meaning into your practiced religion. Though of course these things are not clearly demarcated and manipulate each other.

Thanks for pointing this out. It has helped me consider this further--as always, surprise surprise, things are more complicated than I'd first thought.
Wouldn't doubt it. I've seen so many comments and tweets from the left shaming men for being socially retarded virgins over this dumb memo. Feminists are now engaging in the same rhetoric as the /pol/tards they claim to be victimized by. Both sides are playing the victim. Honestly, I love watching it all crash and burn. Fuck Google.
The REal Brutalist StyLe
As long as an individual person is the sum of both nature and nurture, then regardless of the exact ratio of influence, nature will continue to make a difference.

> Damore argued that nature is the primary force, not nurture, and therefore we should stop nurturing women in tech.

No, he argued that nature in part, may explain the gender mismatch. That really cant be denied. It was also specifically talking about interests rather than capabilities of working in tech. Saying you might not be interested in programming software does not mean you're not able to.

The memo also never said we should stop nurturing women but that we should use different tactics that are more of match to their common on average biological traits and avoid any other discrimination based on race/gender, instead treating everyone as individuals.
I never purchase an expensive item (>$25 or so) unless it is sold by Amazon. Right now, I've been looking at buying a Nintendo Switch, which only is available from third party sellers.

No thanks, I'll wait.
Amazon probably has a process for "wrong item at right address", but since this is "wrong item at wrong address", they don't have a process for it. That's why this seller did this; they probably made a mistake once and discovered the loophole, and now they're driving a truck through it.
I would argue that efficiency is more important in a school bus than safety.

Buses are designed for many years of service with long-lived and easy to replace parts. On the safety front they are painted yellow and have some lights. That's pretty much it. They don't even have seat belts.

It looks to me like efficiency trumps safety in this case.
One potential problem with that is that Amazon can retaliate by closing the users's account if they didn't agree with the charge-back even if they're unsuccessful at fighting it. That can be really difficult to deal with if you're also using AWS for hosting or other things.
It's funny - I accept HN as brutalism, but not poor design. (Though I doubt a designer was hired.)

The color scheme at HN is superb for a website. #FFFFFF on #000000 is painful to look at, everyone knows that. But most sites have solved the problem with grey-on-white, or even grey-on-grey. It's hard to anyone to read and terrible for those with impaired vision. HN chose solid black on a darkened, but distinctively shaded background. That alone has my lasting gratitude.
Go back and read it again. I agreed that it was impersonal. Please leave us out of your nonsense.
Can you explain, specifically, how the code path for setting a specific numeric font size via inline style is slower than, say, setting the same attribute on an NSMutableAttributedString? (I know of one way in which it is slower, but it has nothing to do with anything discussed in this article and is fixable via work-in-progress specs.)

With native apps, you can either use the raw style modification methods or a comparatively slow third-party style system of your choosing. With the Web, you can either use inline styles (akin to the raw style modification) or a slower, but still relatively fast style system. I don't see any advantage for native apps here.
Usually the "free" in "free internet" refers to free-as-in-speech but it sounds like Dan Rua means free as in beer. And it's true that companies are more likely to put up paywalls if they can't make money with ads but he's using the term "free internet" in a misleading way.
> I'm wondering more and more why Amazon hosts third-party sellers at all.

It's pretty much pure profit from Amazon's point of view. They got their cut of that $1500, and no matter how much furor comes out of this (and similar) articles, Amazon's overall brand won't be adversely affected.

After all, look at the comments here. Everyone is primarily blaming the seller, not Amazon. Amazon comes across as a secondary party to this at most.
I wonder if it's because Apple didn't like the mush that 16x16 favicons become on Retina screens with their preferred linear upscaling.

Of course, other sizes of favicons are possible for use by site owners (.ICO supports multiple resolutions in a single file!), and there's no particularly good reason to use linear upscaling for what's often pixel art.
It doesn't need that at all - just upgrade the USPS (and UPS and FedEx) "signed for" systems to also include a photograph of the recipient for high-value items, and the lat/long coordinates of the hand-off - that would immediately show when items were mis-delivered and as a bonus, get a photo for possible police investigations.

Or better yet: make it possible for those "shipping status" pages to show the full recipient address (e.g. by entering your own address first, maybe with a texting service using your USPS-registered phone number?)
You're crazy if you think you can find an apartment for that price in London...

For £600 you can get a small room in a flatshare. Maybe a tiny studio or nice room really far from the centre. But a decent apartment in a nice district? Double that number and start from there... more realistic is 3x or 4x.
Ransomware Victims Are Hit More Than Once
Totally valid. If they were going to change one thing about Safari, though, for me it would be to drop the required $99/year payment for a developer program membership just to distribute a signed Safari plugin. You can't really distribute plugins without a developer certificate, as Safari uninstalls them automatically when the browser restarts. Probably the worst Safari-related decision Apple has made recently, much worse than favicons, though I completely agree that they should return.
This predates Retina by like a decade.
Reddit is horrible, I gave up on that a while ago for the exact reasons you stated. It's a massive time sink, with zero benefit. Fast food of online forums.
Safari should also stop restoring private windows upon reopening.

The point was more that "mysterious hole" and "innatention" are mostly the same thing. My words were "scams are hard to detect" and I stand by them. The people you want to be more attentive make hourly wages and probably see thousands of these appeals every week, statistically none of which are creative scams worthy of arguing about on HN.

You're asking too much. Those employees don't exist. You have to get over their heads to people who design the processes, and that sometimes requires writing blog posts and making noise in public.
users of your list will not get this. And will stop using your list. This ending up not serving your purpose nor theirs.

For instance, let me go out on a limb and point out how some distros of linux insist on shipping without any non-free software. So, a user ends up having to go through hoops to just get an audio of video file playing. I think the analogy Im going for is, you don't want to play by our rules (our license, etc), we'll not use your software (or correspondingly block your site).

I'm trying to point out what I think is likely consequence of such an action

/impassionate comment
I gave up asking my partner to close the bathroom and bedroom doors when she is at home during the day with the heat pump set to 25 degrees C. It causes the heat pump to run flat out because it can't deal with that much hear loss.

And she's one of these save the whales type. And she wasn't working (receiving welfare) and I was paying the utility bills.

So I asked her to move out. Which doesn't solve the problem, just relocates it.

Point being, people don't know. And that's ok, there's plenty of stuff I don't know. We just need to engineer solutions to these problems. And maybe some of that is social engineering. But in the mean time: I give up.
Thanks for the elaboration. I think I understand the point now.

> James conveniently pretends these don't exist and suggests women aren't entering the field.

I'll only point out that this is an inference, not an implication. I inferred the opposite from the memo; that he recognized that sexism exists and needs to be addressed. But that only doing that is not sufficient to address the gender imbalance and that focusing on it alone is harmful.
Yeah, I would highly recommend you download all of those and run them through Calibre with the DRM stripping plug in as soon as possible.
Sure. They can change the rules for legislation in much the same way they were willing to do so for Supreme Court nominations, and do it without Democrats. That confirmation rules are the same as legislation, or that Republicans were willing to use this option is obviously not what I was trying to say.
Safety concerns?
Thanks! I'll have a look.
