A very good point. After reading the linked 99% piece linked above I'd perhaps extend that to "stigma, hubris and marketing".

It's not very "modern" either is it? Hmm. I wonder if that's why we got the post-war modernism school of architecture. :)

Someone used to monoculture and pesticides presumes dishonesty when hearing about the productivity of permaculture - or even traditional mixed farming as it's comparing mono yields against dozens of crops and livestock at the same time from the acre.

It's a disappointment realising, after visiting a selection of old buildings, just how much nicer the old solutions are for humans to inhabit. You get none of the harsh drying that you do with heating and AC, but you do get small temperature variations and air movement that make it far better.

I haven't come across Earthship before, surprisingly, so thanks for that.
I've done both.

It really depends on your age and what your life objectives are. I paid off my mortgage in my early 40s and ended up regretting it to certain extent - should have paid into my pension pot and got the tax benefits and growth.

On the other hand it's nice to have zero debt!

Just recently bought a bigger house after renting. Mortgage is same as rent was, but house has a self contained room for renting out. It's a new build and energy efficient. I have no plans to pay down mortgage right now as fixed on 1.44%. I love the freedom having lots of cash gives you.
Pay off the mortgage.

The sense of freedom and security from no longer being on that particular 25 year debt treadmill is quite profound. Mortgage rates could return to 1980s 10%+ and you couldn't care less.

Course if you're planning on 3 children and you currently have a two bed property I may change my answer.
With the sqlite-parquet-vtable code on GitHub, the parquet/Makefile contents make it look a bit scary when wondering if it will work on other platforms (eg Win/OSX).

The "You're almost certainly going to regret your life." in the README.md goes along with that. ;)

How hard was it to get up and running for your Ubuntu 16.04 system?

How then do you explain the success of CDPR? No, I believe it's the monetization schemes and exploitation of younger people and addictive behaviors that is the true reason.
I definitely agree about Bitcoin and scaling, as anybody who can do napkin math would realize that increases in block size to scale to a level of transactions/second competitive with a credit card network would cause the blockchain to grow at a catastrophically unsustainable rate. Bitcoin Cash imho offers absolutely nothing of value because it runs up against the exact same technical problems. Think of it like slightly reducing a constant factor to an O(n^3) algorithm, you haven't made things more efficient in the required way.

I think the main takeaway about /r/bitcoin is that bitcoin claims to be this decentralized democratic technical project where anybody can contribute but in reality many of the places where discussion takes place are completely censored and controlled by entities who aren't transparent about their intentions like Blockstream and Theymos. This also applies to /r/btc for Bitcoin Cash shills.

Okay I'll offer some advice:

First of all, forget about the "situation in Germany". Work is everywhere, so be willing to accept work anywhere. There's definitely a pecking order in consulting firms and you can get projects because the company gets a one off engagement with a new client who wants the work done on site. The company has some really awesome full time employees who could do it in their sleep, but they're busy on long term contracts with key clients. Be willing to go, as a subcontractor, to some unglamorous location for a week long project to pentest some shitty internal application that nobody has ever heard of. Get a few of those under your belt and you'll know how it works.

Second, understand that there's more to it than your technical skills. Make friends who work in the industry. Talk with them about what they're working on. Find any interesting bugs or behavior in what you're working on? Chat with them about that. Doesn't really matter if it's security related or not. The people who do the work in the industry are all generally interested in the details of software. If you're into that, then you belong.

Keep reminding your friends that you're hungry for work. Keeping in touch will keep you in mind when they need an extra guy to help out.

Once you start getting work be sure you contribute well. Everyone wants to have the most high severity findings, and obviously you will need to produce those if you wanna keep getting work, but also be that guy who goes the extra mile to help put the report together, write up extra recommendations that would be helpful.

Keep in touch with the people you work with. Be cool to the sales/project management/accounting people. It's simple things like getting your expenses/timesheets/invoices filed in a timely manner. There's more to the business than finding vulnerabilities. Everyone wants to close out the job, get paid, and move on. Show everyone that you know how to behave like a professional. Remember that the people responsible for staffing are asking themselves: Who do we know that we can send in there to take care of this work, so that we can bill them and collect this revenue, who will get the job done and be easy to work with?

Be that guy, and you will be approached too, and you can find full time work in the industry if you want.
If it's just for friends and family why not setup a plex server?
Sure. If you run at 96 DPI, with a static monitor configuration, with a single GPU, no expansion cards, with English language only.

However:

- with multiple GPU configurations, all bets are off.

- Thunderbolt docks and even the Thinkpad dock can be buggy and cause crashes. I've had a few instances of Xorg crashing on dock.

- HiDPI sucks. Linux took the wrong approach from the get go. Now each Xorg client has to be DPI aware, but if it isn't, there is no graceful fallback. There's also no easy way to determine what the DPI should be, and any hopes that you can have monitors with differing DPIs is right out. Wayland tries to fix this, but in my experience so far things look blurry and horrible.

- IME sucks really badly. It almost was good for a bit, with IBus. But now I don't even know what the standard is or how to configure it. How do I even get Japanese IME in KDE? I can get it working in GNOME but good luck getting that to work with apps that don't use GTK.

- Sleep is still complicated. There are multiple DBus APIs for power management, and they're not compatible. GNOME does OK here. KDE does worse, and I find myself needing custom code to inhibit sleep in some circumstances. Not user friendly, though workable for me.

- Resume is more complicated.

- It feels like boot splashes have only gotten worse since the old days. Entering in LUKS keys is still weirdly unfriendly, especially if your boot splash misbehaves.

- X11 has security issues. No shock there, but it makes application isolation like Snap and Flatpak pointless.

- Audio can be tricky. I was a PulseAudio early adopter and like it better than raw ALSA since it covers more use cases like Bluetooth and provides some extra features. That being said I've found it can be problematic on a lot of hardware, sometimes I lose audio until I kill pulse and it's hard to debug. Worse, lately some apps are having difficulty selecting their own input/output devices, making conference calls a nightmare.

This is really just the beginning. Windows sucks too, don't get me wrong, but Linux is definitely not "so stable it hurts"
yup

mm-hmm

wha?

I can't just let this go by because I'm fearful and hopeful so I'm designing my own scenarios and outcomes for this because I'd rather it end well. This should be a prelude to a bigger, longer story, no? One where the hero makes it past chapter 1. One where a mother doesn't actually read that note because it was never sent. One where our hero catches a single, tiny glimpse of what life is and can be and manages to hold on against furious odds and for many chapters.

A tiny glimpse, a blade of grass or a chattering wren. Anything. A perspective through the eyes of another and reflection through the eyes of a mother. You against you is a battle that only you can win but you simply cannot win if the field is empty. One will always be grabbing on to the slimmest of threads and weaving a garden even through horrors and dread. And there's help. There is definitely help.

It looks like you're in that place where serenity and reason is a mask for an inhospitable calm, a dreamscape that is not a dream where security and sense of self can be left behind simply by dropping what you're holding on to and no longer or or realize that you were holding onto anything at all.. Find the thread and pick it up. Please. You've just penned the beginning of a story that many are now reading. It's the little things and, in a larger sense, this is no longer just you and your mother. Consider the offers here. You've reached out now grab a hold.
Reverse anecdote here. I paid into my pension and hindsight clearly shows I should have paid off the mortgage instead thanks to horrific long term pension performance. Actually I should have completely skipped any pension at all and paid it into yearly ISAs.
> The best employers don't seek out and promote agreeable employees

The best employers know when to hire agreeable employees.

"It may be that agreeableness may aid performance in some jobs but be a limitation in others... Evidence supports a link between agreeableness and prosocial work behaviors (Chiaburu, Oh, Berry, Li, & Gardner, 2011). Such a link exists, at least in part, because agreeable individuals are motivated to maintain positive interpersonal relationships with others (e.g., Barrick, Stewart, & Piotrowski, 2002). This is particularly important when considering group activity. Graziano, Jensen-Campbell, and Hair (1996) found that agree- able individuals reported higher levels of liking toward a randomly assigned partner. Most relevant to the current study, Mount et al. (1998) found that agreeableness was positively related to performance for service jobs requiring dyadic interactions.

However, some agreeableness characteristics—namely, the eagerness to cooperate and avoid conflict (Goldberg, 1990; McCrae & Costa, 1990)—suggest that agreeable individuals might struggle in competitive environments." [1].

Also, "agreeableness more positively predicted job performance in jobs requiring attention to detail and involving independence in completing work" (page 11670.

Definitely agree on the technical front.

Vimeo was around first and focused on 1080/HD content, and had actual enforcement of community guidelines that accounts should only be uploading content they made or took part in. YouTube (pre-Google) was gaining massive popularity with South Park and other TV content chopped into 12 minute segments to get past then-current restrictions for length. Vimeo was a better experience for community, but YouTube was a better experience for audience desires.

“Well-behaved women seldom make history”. I love that quote.
> Right, they're not here yet, so you don't know.

And neither does anyone posting dumb links to Reddit posts about them or mentioning them like they’re a solution.

Because they aren’t. They might be, but they aren’t yet. Yet WASM advocates like yourself treat them as fully formed solutions to criticism.

Which you kind of have to I suppose: without them WASM is a cool but extraordinarily limited and mostly pointless, outside of some specialized use cases, toy.

Until they are released AND up to par with perf & features (inc accessibility) WASM hasn’t achieved much at all. It certainly hasn’t got rid “of the JS monopoly”. No more than VBScript or Flash did.

Ask HN: Securely exposing host just to webhooks?
Background: I wish to listen for github webhooks on a Jenkins instance sitting in a private network. There are no public endpoints on the network, it's for internal services.

Easy enough to add an endpoint that forwards to Jenkins, but
I'm not a web dev person and have no experience securing public endpoints so this is a terrifying prospect to me. I could easily introduce a huge backdoor without realizing.

What's best practice to accomplish this? Is there a tool that is user-friendly enough so as to prevent me from doing stupid things?

Or should I just forget about it and poll from inside more frequently?

I guess I'm really asking is security still a full time job? Because the gain relative to just polling more frequently is very small here, and the risk is enormous. So unless things are absolutely rock solid and fool proof I'm better off just not.
Ubuntu works well enough, with a lower number of desktop crashes of what I had in 2004. Fancy? No. Stable and robust? hardly, for other desktop standards anyway, but sort of, by Linux standards.... if you can dismiss the graphics card not registering after hibernation, and that will be for at least one decade now. I relinquished hope a long time ago... Still, Ubuntu beats the user-experience I get in other operating systems, which all seem to include a perfectly working driver for a well hidden pheromone sensor that triggers OS updates at the worst possible moment, sometimes after showing annoying pop-ups that can't be tucked away without going through an agonizing martyrdom of clicks and dialogs.
It's certainly something the community is split about, but I'm not sure it could be fixed even if it were forbidden, seems almost impossible to police.
At one point I was highly concerned with lock-in, but I'm becoming less so. in the last 7 or 8 years the companies I've worked for have exclusively used AWS, and prices have come down and stayed competitive. Giving up the platform-independence also allows you to take advantage of platform specific features, which can make development a lot faster.

I still think platform neutrality is a good goal, but I'm starting to view it like I do database neutrality. It's great in theory to be able to swap out postgres with mysql and vice versa, but you miss out on a lot of features of postgres that aren't portable. And in practice, I've never swapped out postgres for something else. Just some thoughts.

I would be less surprised if the paper claimed rational functions instead of polynomials. NN's are ~general non-linear functions which polynomials are very poor at representing (e.g. you can't encode asymptotic behavior in polynomials).

edit: here's a paper about rational functions and NN's: https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03301 . I'm not really in a position to evaluate the claims, but author just won an NSF CAREER award so that's something.

The problem that peer tube can not solve is the youtube suggestions and stability.

- As a business I will link to a youtube video but not a PT video because I know YT will stay up.

- Most YT's views are from recommendations and related videos.

PT can't compete against that. Just can't. Especially since YT will never recommend a PT video. This is why a single source wins. :(
Amazon also has something called Brand Registry. Essentially, if you can prove you own a brand, you can prevent other sellers from selling the same item. That's how most larger brands protect their listings.

I'm intrigued why would you pick Go, out of all languages out there - or conversely, why would you pick React and Redux as the UI model to emulate when using Go.

Go is an unapologetically structural language, which eschews both most OOP and Functional Programming patterns.

The Redux model, on the other hand, is strongly rooted in functional programming, and demands immutable data structures, something that is quite hard to do with Go. You would have to deep-clone every map and slice, which is extremely cumbersome and error prone in Go.

Or perhaps you could just create a mutable store (this is what the TodoMVC does), but then you lose all the advantages of Redux like predictability, reproduceability and the time-travelling debugger.
Or you could, you know, fill a bottle from the tap before leaving home?
PeerTube initially aims precisely at being a Youtube alternative, which is why such questions are not tackled in the article I guess. However federation with other servers is totally controlled by admin-defined rules, so you can make a “private” instance. I'm not sure whether making videos watchable by logged-in users only is already possible but it's a very easy thing to implement.

As for the torrenting, if videos are only available to members it shouldn't be a privacy problem. That being said, disabling it will probably be a possibility in v1.0.

If PeerTube instances are federated, and video metadata is publicly available, anyone can compete to offer a portal to PeerTube.

As a business, it is shortsighted to prefer link to a YT video that can be removed or deleted just as easily as a PeerTube video. My YT playlists are littered with deleted or otherwise removed videos. The only way to ensure a video you link to never disappears is to rip it and host it yourself.
Like other commenters, I see nothing unique here to NASA or any engineering project of any scale, public or private. There are always unanticipated challenges, proposers are incentivized to underestimate time and costs up front, and these two things combined will always result in cost overruns and lateness.
It certainly does seem like chip design is marching grudgingly from Core i7 to Cell BE and eventually to Connection Machine. Physics doesn’t really care about ease of programming.

I'm always skeptical of things like this that attempt to distill the full range of human personality and behavior into a simple table with four values. I haven't done any studies, but I feel like this sort of thing is disprovable by simple counter-example: as soon as I come across a single person who does not fit into this box, the universality of the box is already clearly wrong. I've come across many such people, whose behavior in the work place can't be described by the combination of two adjectives. (In fact, it's the only kind of person I've come across.)
> If someone isn't producing the goods, they need need to make themselves liked somehow

In competitive work environments, I've seen this heuristic overcorrect more often than be right, i.e. the nice person is assumed to be incompetent. Having worked on a trading floor, where niceness was not valued, and on teams with nice people with whom one could vent, reconsider interpersonal disputes or bounce ideas off (in terms of how others on the team might see a proposal), I strongly preferred the latter.
> Not clinging on our opinions imply that said opinion is not much important to you.

On the contrary, it's more important to be able to reconsider your strong opinions.

> It is harder to move away from what you consider right in ethical sense

Why marry if your ethics are different?

> what is important for your self respect

Unless it's an abusive relationship, I can't imagine a situation where the self respect can be involved. Usually it's just the ego whining about getting what it wants and disguising it as "self respect".

> We are supposed to be emotionally invested in the whole marriage thing.

There's a wide spectrum of emotions but most of them aren't required in a relationship. As the OP's article says, focus on kindness and appreciation.
I'd wonder if HN readers would have gotten it in the context of 1979.

> Of course, they do! Reverse engineering is the skill of being able to see how things are put together without having the whole picture.

I disagree and have done quite some reverse engineering out of private interest. To me it was mostly about learning and applying an excessive amount of knowledge about obscure trivia that can hardly be applied anywhere else (except perhaps for some really rare embedded developing stuff), such as knowledge about some obscure flags in the linker format, knowledge about aracane details of the call convention and instruction encoding, arcane features of the respective CPU/chipset that probably only OS developers are even aware of, etc.

This is what > 90% of reverse engineering consist of for me: Learning/having/applying an immense knowledge of a giant amount of arcane details that are hardly useful anywhere else.

> It's having an intuition of where to find the clues to solve the bigger puzzle.

I am not aware that I have used a lot of intuition. It is rather a lot about documenting everything well, documenting how each subsystem/function relates to others, ... lots of long, monotonous (but not boring) documentation. The reasons is that if you do not document a lot, you will soon be struck by the immense amount of details.
A little bit like how you would document the inner workings of a space ship that landed on earth exhaustively in terms of lots engineering diagrams.
