I tried. I got my master's degree and ran screaming. It took me a few months to to design and produce my thesis experiment, and a year and a half to finagle the politics required to run it.

Show HN: sudo_pair – dual control for sudo
This is something I've spent a bunch of time on (on-and-off) during the past year and a half to scratch a personal itch at work. I'm thrilled to finally be able to release it publicly (thanks to Square for being so supportive in this).

Long story short, it's how we implement dual control for sudo at Square. If someone sudos to a privileged user or group, this plugin requires them to find another engineer to approve the session. That engineer will then see a live mirror of everything that happens during the privileged session.

Technically, it's surprisingly simple: sudo has a plugin mechanism which allows you to log all terminal I/O, and the "meat" of it is basically just copying all I/O to a socket and `socat`ing it on the other end. The rest is all just enforcing security constraints, exposing sudo_plugin(8) facility in a Rust-like wrapper, parsing all of the hundred-plus fields of metadata sent to the plugin by sudo, and wrapping it up in a bow so I can share it with you guys.

Please give me your feedback! I've released the plugin at a prerelease version of 0.9.0; we're happy with it, but I want to solicit feedback from the community and others who want to use it before officially stamping it as 1.0.
I usually do about 3-4hrs on the weekend. My routine is wake up at ~8:30/9:00 AM and work on my side project or in my case an Android nanodegree from Udacity. I call it quits around 12/12:30 PM, go to the gym and then grab a late lunch. I really like exercising after the couples hours I spending on my side project as it helps me decompress, forget about whatever I was working on and get into the "its the weekend. enjoy it!" mindset.
That wasn't the case at all for this collision. As the article says, the sensors had detected the woman but the information had been disregarded. And the moving object thing is exclusive to radar, vision systems don't suffer from it though vision systems have their own problems.
And now your position is that people who disagree with you are insane.

Yeah, this dialogue is going places...
> As someone who is friends who two different social workers and related to someone in family court diversions (think: parents getting their kids taken away and want them back) I can tell you that UBI isn't going to solve much of anything. These people have money to buy alcohol and cigarettes, and yet their kids go hungry and rely on school lunch programs, etc.

An UBI pilot in Madhya Pradesh, India shows exactly the opposite [0]. Villages focused more on healthcare, education involvement improved, frivolous spending decreased, women empowerment was better and personal savings increased.

In general, for job hopping tech workers, it’s smart to:

1. Start the year at the lowest contribution amount sufficient to get the highest possible match in each pay period.

2. Stop contributing once you hit your annual maximum match.

3. If you get a new job, return to #1.

4. Near the end of the year, increase your contribution to hit the annual contribution max.

You don’t want to lose out on your new employer’s match by maxing out contributions early in the year.
Wikipedia is magnificent for actually learning the algorithms, but I think collections like these fill a gap in that they show implementations in actual programming languages that just work without trying to write code from pseudo code. If you’re familiar with any of these languages and understand the theory backing the algorithm you can instantly see how these algorithms can be done in that target language.

I feel this is especially useful for me with the computational geometry part. I took a completely theoretical computational geometry class this last semester. We learned and made algorithms in pure pseudo code, and some operations we were never even given pseudo code for, because they were ‘trivial’, for example the algorithm for line intersections (my teacher at least told me it took some linear algebra, but I never took linear algebra.) Having just the code can be helpful for someone that already has most the theoretical backing, but needs the practical code to go along with it. I think this kind of practical code along with getting theory from a more theoretical book or Wikipedia entry is a powerful way you could learn the algorithms.
But unless things changed quite a bit (I am still on 10.11.6) doesn't Apple always give you the option to update or not update MacOS? Even with iOS it's a positive action, you have to click something to update, no? I am fine with that, I just want to do the updates on my schedule, not Apples and Microsoft's. On macOS I have a lot of dev stuff setup and I would be pretty pissed if it did an update without me specifically and affirmatively concerning to it.

My impression of the term "biohacking" was that it referred to basically anyone with a wet lab outside a formal research setting - the biotech equivalent of an inventor with a 3D printer or a CNC mill in his garage turning out prototypes in relative isolation.
That depends heavily on the instance you choose. There's much, much less of that on the instance I'm (mainly) on.

And if they're saying interesting things, why do you care if they turn out to have a different lifestyle from yours?

I’m the strongest I’ve been since 25 and every time I go to the pet store they ask if I need help getting the 40lb bag of cat litter to the car.

...

When I’m feeling salty I will buy two bags or a 20lbs bag of food just so I can throw 60-80 lbs in my shoulder and strut out of the store.
Haha wow very similar. There's a guy here in a neighboring team that I used to work under that literally just falls asleep at his desk and snores. Comes in at 9:20, leaves at 3 some days.

Which general domain or area are you working in?
Is this your first job?

I also have some imposter syndrome about being a "real" dev. I think that's because there's so many ways to go from here. Whereas, for example, if you were a doctor you would basically lock in your area of practice and then put your head down and get it done. For us, you could: build your own product, climb corporate ladder at BigCorp, startup world, freelance, freelance while traveling, consult, be a product manager instead, etc.

The cushy part is tough to give up, but the free hours don't really make up for the existential dilemma that eats at my soul every day... I know right, first world problems.

Maybe in SF or NYC, but even then I don't think $125/hr or $260K/year at 40 hours/week is "standard" even there.
Comprehensive and radical are not sufficient to judge any idea, no matter whether the judgment is good or bad.

I just gave a counterexample to the suggestion of GP that it's a positive indicator of bad ideas.
I'm conflicted about this article. On one hand, its central premise, that people who are successful (in societal terms) tend to ascribe that success to an inherent moral superiority, is obviously true.

On the other hand, there's nothing particularly Victorian about this attitude; people have been doing this ever since society has existed and will be doing it long after we're all dead.

On yet another hand (I have three), who is the target audience for this article? Seems like this is something that anyone who would be interested in or capable of understanding this article would already know.
Almost nobody uses turbojets anymore. Certainly not airliners. Even fighter jets use turbofans.

At least DO supports IPv6, for our application the 40ms latency penalty we encountered for half our customers when on GCP from not supporting IPv6 was not worth it. On that note, HE.net really peers with everyone over IPv6, even ISPs that won't peer with them on IPv4, its quite impressive how much better the routing can be on certain ISPs due to this!
I disagree. Enough wealth can easily replace that, to where one would be moderately successful. You might not turn into Elon Musk without desire & drive, but you're also never really going to be wondering where your next meal is coming from.

> The investors are relying on the efforts of others for their profits.

Are investors in gold relying on the efforts of others for their profits? After all, there are people out there making gold exchanges, developing gold mines, marketing gold jewelry, minting coins and bars for vaults, etc. etc. There's your efforts of third parties which drives up value of gold.

Of course the answer is "maybe" until the law is written or the case decided, but let's not lose sight of the fact that the law already has categories that are a closer fit.

Who's the third party in a decentralized ecosystem? Everyone who's ever contributed a line of code? Everyone who has developed a DAPP that feeds the demand side of the market?

Where's the common enterprise that's being invested in?
That analogy is a terrible one for the historical situation we're talking about. The numeral system is a concept that was vastly changed as it passed through different cultures over time. The current system in use is, demonstrably, not the one used in the ancient Indian subcontinent. It is indeed a Hindu-Arabic system because the form we use today arose among Arab scholars who had adapted the older Indian symbols.

It's nationalistic nonsense to fight against both the historical reality and the natural flow of ideas over millennia, and does indeed smack of an inferiority complex. It's not a slight or a slur to acknowledge the complexity of the historical reality, and the achievements of ancient Indian peoples are no less impressive, anymore than the Greek adaptation and expansion of older Babylonian geometric concepts diminishes those.

Sometimes it's painful to read someone's oversimplified judgement of socitey through their rigid ideological prism(s).

To be sure, there are some interesting dynamics at play with regards to self denial, class/hierarchical dynamics, and such, but I don't believe this article has done a particularly good job of illustrating them.

Some times the world is rather more complicated than Victorian vs Socialism/Feminism/Marxism, etc.
> The real success that we can take from the Concorde program was that some of the technology found its way into the A300 program and its derivative, the A320.

Correct, the Concorde program kickstarted the French aeronautic industry. I don’t know for the UK part, but I think UK was pretty advanced already with the De Havailland and DC-3/4 companies. Which, ironically, collapsed for trying to do things too fast and being earlier than others. For example the DC-9 would famously lose parts and doors, one of those which founds its way in the... Concorde, causing the crash in Paris.
Yes, absolutely no problem. Did it this Sunday, and many others besides.

The only time I've had chafing issues was when doing a circle around the 'IJsselmeer' in one day. That was bad. But I was also peeing green and out for the count for the next day so enough time to heal up :)
I've said it before, but why are you designing a plane with pilots on board? Automate as far as possible and have a remote control option as backup. It saves space, money (pilots are expensive), and human error.

It definitely does provide a sort of head-start on reaching that understanding, so in that sense it's valuable.
And I'd take that bet, and quite likely your money, because study after study has shown that growing up in poverty is most likely to result in that person remaining in poverty.

Open Benches had "hundreds" of followers, so they're already way more insignificant than 2k followers on Masto.

By the looks of it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tC_NX5D8AA) the latest Suzuki Jimny still doesn't have a built-in navigation or anything like that, it will probably be on my to-buy-list in 6 or 7 years when (and if) I decide to buy a new SH car. I like my cars with a very plain and simple interior, just AC and a basic radio/CD player it's perfect for me.
> How much can we really expect from a bunch of outsiders doing (at best) very flimsy science when even the best and brightest experts in the field regularly waste years pursuing ideas that do not work out?

I'd guess "a lot".

Certainly this is higher risk. It's also much faster and less constrained - there's nothing stopping someone who believes a certain process will have a certain effect from trying it, regardless of what others believe. That will result in data that can be potentially useful for subsequent research regardless of the outcome.

At the end of the day, I believe that people own themselves. If they want to risk their life and health to be their own test subject, more power to them.

Consider that someone, somewhere, once saw the round white thing that came out of a chicken's butt and though "Hmm... I wonder how that tastes..." If not for that intrepid soul we might never have discovered omelets :)
In the book, USS Ethan Allen (an SSBN) made an appearance as well.
Many of the founders (e.g. Brendan Burns) are still working on Kubernetes, so I don't see how that's relevant. Google is heavily invested in Kubernetes, and so is a bunch of other companies.

According to googlers here on HN, Google does use Kubernetes internally via GCP/GKE. But clearly those apps are in the minority, given Google's huge investment in Borg.

Talking about IQ among ethinicities is verboten on the left.

It’s also axiomatic on the left that all cultures are equally effective at raising successful, healthy children. The German study suggests that culture matters, which counters this axiom.

The second best selling video game of all time is Minecraft, which was hugely popular among children and probably still is. That game is basically a blank and boring canvas to paint on.

Children with an interest in technology can purchase a raspberry pi for $5 today. They can learn javascript programming without leaving the web browser. It's not all doom and gloom because their iPads don't allow them every freedom that a Commodore 64 might.

Taking things apart and trying to understand their behavior is a natural behavior of children and always has been. Regardless of whether they have iPads or rocks, they will always find a way. I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Also, it's always worth considering that most children don't have much of an interest in programming. In the 80's most children weren't at home with a C64. Most of those kids turned out fine too.
Thanks for the detailed insight. I've been following k8s for a while now but never had a need, and Yegge's post put an end to it in my mind.

Grab is the company Yegge left google for. He always complained about google's inability to platformize, so random hunch is he instills this desire into Grab? But entirely random. I also don't know how influential he was inside google vs outside.
My theory is that people act like jerks behind the wheel, and come across as jerks even when they're not, because drivers have no way to apologize or ask please or do any other polite thing. All they can do is honk the horn, which is like yelling "HEY!!" If there were a communication mechanism for "excuse me, the light is green now" and "oops, so sorry, didn't see you there" driving would be easier and more pleasant.
I don't think the democratic party has a hold over the African American voting block in so much as it has been the only real choice for them for the last 40 or 50 years (unless you have Stockholm syndrome that is). Couple that with the increase in leadership roles and overall candidates and the democratic party is becoming more representative by the day. This results in more and better legislation targeting the issues of black Americans.

Contrast that with the republican party, how well are poor whites represented in the party (aside from near-constant lip service)?

I grew up in Connecticut, not far from the town of Old Lyme where the disease gets its name from! Most people who spend any amount of time outside there know the symptoms well and doctors give away doxycycline prescriptions like their going out of style. I've gone through it three separate times. If you catch it quick, the antibiotics crush it and you're on your merry way. Ignore it and you'll suffer for life.
What's the timeframe on the video being handled, given to police, etc. Do the police have the authority to take any video files recorded by a vehicle involved in an auto accident? Is a warrant needed?

It's more likely that the police opened an investigation, and as part of the investigation, handed over dashcam footage. We have no reason to believe the police simply confiscated the video files on the night of the accident.
What does the FAA have to say about that?

It doesn’t matter what the cultural attitudes are. All it takes to change it is a significant increase in fines, then people would, statistically speaking, break the law less often.

We don’t have to convince the public to accept more enforcement, that’s not how traffic laws are made or enforced.

What we have is a system of cultural attitudes that’s bad for us. People are dying all the time because of lax attitudes. What you’re advocating is status quo. Why? Is it a good thing that a lot of people in NYC who choose to jaywalk get hit by cars?

I’m not on a mission to change things, I don’t care that much if people jaywalk. I’d prioritize speeding enforcement far above jaywalking. I’m just pointing out the obvious — that fretting over how safe it is for autonomous cars to obey the law is just “enculer les mouches”, to use the French term. It’s nitpicking the tiniest of margins while ignoring the primary cause of the problem.
If this integration allows you to use Google Maps and CarPlay at the same time, that would be a huge win.
Siri, at least, operated on Mesos last I heard:

I would be surprised if they haven't done a k8s PoC at the very least though.
Fun fact - as I was reading Red October, I got a job as an electronics apprentice/tech at the yard in Portsmouth NH, and the first boat I stepped onto was the Dallas. Was a cool moment.
I have two degrees, Computer Science and Finance. It was my first job out of school 3 years ago. I think they just wanted "smart" grads. The way they placed you into teams was terrible and I feel like I haven't learned much at all in 3 years, but maybe I'm not giving myself enough credit. Have learned a ton through HN. Banking just seems pointless in the grand scheme, and I'd like to spend my 20's working towards something more meaningful than only a steady paycheck (still grateful I have that).
> In few decades we will be catapulted into space from London without engines on "the Moon elevator" and then pull back with Earth gravity, slowed down by huge magnets and safely land in New York in less than 19 minutes, door to door.

I've just pushed a fix for this in case of errors due to the new policy. Not a huge fix but I wish it didn't need to be done.
I miss Hacker's Paradise (later renamed Master's Paradise, in an attempt to switch to a legitimate use case, i.e. remote sys administration).

In one episode of That '70s show Kelso and Red complained that the pong game is too easy because the pad is too wide. They opened the console, used the welding gun and successfully shrank the pad and made it harder:

What is truly astounding about this is the patience to even attempt to explain free theorems to a 6 year old. Most parents would likely answer "math" and that would be the end of it. I don't (yet) have kids, but when I do I hope I have the wherewithal to recognize and take advantage of moments like these.
