I don't think anybody is forgetting the role of corporate entities. I think the individual aspect is what's being more forgotten about, or at least it seems that way looking at my Facebook feed. It's deeply distressing to me to see so many otherwise woke, informed liberals stomping their feet and refusing to make any alterations to their lifestyles because they've decided any suggestion for reducing their carbon footprint is some kind of corporate blame-shifting conspiracy when it's... not. The UN climate report said change is gonna have to happen on BOTH the corporate and individual level. Our consumerist Western lifestyles are exactly what created this mess in the first place. How the same people who only a month ago wouldn't stop screaming about how every vote counts can then turn around and decided that no individual effort to combat climate change could ever possibly count is baffling to me.

Ironically, one of the things I uncovered in the process of raising my pitchfork and planning a protest against my local utility was the best evidence I've found of just how much of an impact individual actions can have collectively: power consumption in the US has completely flatlined since 2007, so much so that My Local Utility's 20 year plan put out in 2015 was made completely irrelevant in only 3 years. Why? Turns out it's just a little bit more efficient appliances and then a hell of a lot more efficient lightbulbs. Dead serious, that's all it took to stunt the growth of our national power consumption, even accounting for things like manufacturing moving overseas. And the only reason the appliances haven't made as big an impact as the lightbulbs is their longer replacement cycles delay their impact.

Stuff that small and simple absolutely, 100% makes a difference. Those are the quickest, easiest changes we can make because they are the changes within our power, and to act like people can't focus on both at the same time is absurd and imo completely irresponsible. Yes, raise our pitchforks, but always keep in mind that we're the market and our wallets have the power to fuck their shit up. After reading that 10% of total global power consumption is literally just heating and cooling, I'm dropping $80 on a programmable thermostat because that's an easy, effective thing I can do between now and my protest at the end of the month. (Oh ho, stickin it to ya twice, TVA! ;] )

The idea is stealing is not a black and white concept. Stealing something digital generally has very different effects than stealing something physical.

For example, if someone the software I own without my permission and doesn’t give it back; I loose out on revenue I would have otherwise received from them.
If someone uses the car I own without my permission and doesn’t give it back; I am out thousands of dollars, I have no means to get to work, and no means of purchasing groceries.

Stealing is not black and white and rules and regulations should reflect that.
The only time I've done anything like this is when the company did their best -- using Concur -- to avoid paying legitimate expenses. ie we got into an argument over whether my taxi ride home from SFO was "too expensive". I was like, um, I got in the fucking taxi, told it my address, and paid the bill.

My employer used Concur and stupid rules to argue me into giving up and just paying the taxi ride out-of-pocket. I'm pretty sure that was the point, and many of the stupid expense "fraud" companies would notch that as a win. But I made my $57 back elsewhere, don't worry.

And yeah, the fix was get an employer that wasn't ass.
If you're only using Kubernetes, straight Helm might be a better fit.

But imagine you need to run your Helm chart on Kubernetes environment that doesn't have access to your container images. You could build a thick bundle from your Helm chart, put it on USB stick, sneaker-net it over to a disconnected Kubernetes cluster, hydrate a container registry and run the Helm chart with full fidelity in the new environment.

This is just one thing CNAB enables..
And I wouldn't call the atmosphere uber-Christian, either. It feels more like a ubiquitous cult that has appropriated and subverted Christian symbology to control people's relationships and behavior.

That sounds like a distinction without a difference to me these days.
I really like idea of separating a service’s infra requirements from it’s infra implementation details.

> Crossplane supports a clean separation of concerns between developers and administrators.

If I’ve understood correctly im not sure this is the best way to sell the idea though.

How does this work in a world where developers administer their own services?
Not sure. But Flutter can't even get switches and text fields to work right, so it really has much further to go than React Native does.

It may just be the difference between how many people a video is relevant to and how deeply it impacts them. Things like tech, history, physics, and DIY channels each have fewer people who connect with the content than something like how to decorate nails.

One explanation could be the amount of investment one has to make to fully appreciate, and thus get value from, these different topics. For example, appreciating a "just for laugh" video generally takes less effort and specific experience than appreciating a technical video. This is related I think to the Law of Triviality [1].

At the end of the day though, I think there's somewhat of an inverse relationship between how many people you can impact with a given message (or video) and how deeply you can impact them. To impact someone more deeply requires deeper insight and shared context gained through experience on the viewer's part to interpret and appreciate the video, which necessarily narrows the target audience.

The system that disproportionately incentivizes the less deep content is probably the fact that the incentives are built around numbers of views, which doesn't discriminate between deep versus cursory impact on the viewer. If overall value of a video were calculated as number of people impacted multiplied by the depth of the impact, there would be more incentives to create impactful videos. However, most incentives currently reward only the number of people impacted irrespective of the depth of impact, and so it's much easier to produce videos that impact a lot of people with little depth.

Of course, this trivializes how difficult it is to actually build a large audience, which is difficult to begin with. Personally, I think they all have their place. Sometimes I want something stimulating to watch, sometimes I want something brainless.

You've got to be kidding, right? I see people go into debt all the time to buy $60k cars, that they truly cannot afford.

Per diems can be paid up front, or after the fact. My workplace does both, since we send a lot of employees overseas very regularly. The itemizing requirement for per diems is a feature of the tax code, which requires expense reports to be itemized or else treats the per diem as income to the employee. (These same rules also provide daily caps on the untaxable portion of per diems, divided between food & incidentals, and lodging.)

For the most part, employees paid per diems choose the cheapest option for food and pocket the difference. The people eating fancy are the ones, like the C-suite, that get to expense their meals since the per diem limits don't apply to those expenses.

And let's face it: if your company is making you travel away from home for work, they need to provide a little something to make up for it. Letting the employees eat fancy meals on company dime is just part of it.

This really hits at a core of what I call developer vs. sysadmin perspective. A developer usually works in a persistent environment they fully control. A sysadmin does a lot of work on multiple, often short-lived servers. So the former prefers customizing things the way they like; the latter learns and sticks to defaults.

At one of the Lisp projects I worked on, this split was clearly visible. One of my co-workers had the dev perspective, the other had the sysadmin view. Both used Emacs and Slime, but one had it fully customized, and other had it bare-bones, and spent most of his time in raw terminal anyway.

(I, of course, am hard down on developer view. My Emacs config has no peers :)).

The more I see of the Zig language, the more I grow to appreciate its beautiful design! Such a perfect blend (IMO; obviously personal preference will vary) of modern language features that encourage inherent reliability and safety of code, with low-level systems programming -- all without the language becoming too complicated or difficult to code productively in.

I'm really looking forward to tinkering around in Zig, for my next hobby project(s).

P.S. In fact, I'm going to 'put my money where my mouth is' and contribute via Patreon[1]. Zig is incredibly high quality and well-designed, despite being achieved from the spare time of so few; it deserves better funding.

It varied by department. I am sure there were better options, but we just used SVN because it (mostly) worked and the folder model / shallow checkouts made it easy to explain to nontechnical people.
China also just scheduled fentanyl as a controlled substance. This is after China promised the Obama administration they’d curb the supply of the drug.

The NYTimes said that tens of thousands of Americans have died from Chinese-sourced fentanyl.

I don’t understand how American startups can take money from China, or how Google and others can work with them. They’re in a soft war with us, have a 100 year plan yet we’re all so naive.
I am more interested in being free than having an economy.

That's something different. There's two effects going on:

1) Each 'slice' of the slinky, whether near the bottom, middle, or top, wants to fall down under the influence of gravity.

2) Once the top is released, spring forces in the slinky want to compress it so that the top and bottom both move towards the middle.

Therefore you'll briefly have one part somewhere in the bottom half (not necessarily the "bottom"--it depends on how strong the spring is), that's being pulled up at 9.8m/s^2, which ends up matching the speed that the slinky center of mass is falling down, thereby making it appearing to hover in place for a moment.
> it means we favor owning things over being free.

That statement lacks a lot of nuance and presents it as a binary, mutually exclusive choice. Absolutist stances like this don't help the situation which is rife with many use cases that are and aren't valid. You can have this as a general principle you prefer, but it cannot work as an hard-fast rule for all digital properties.
Yeah, "non-public, material information" is what I'm used to seeing, and I think that classifies this air-traffic data just fine. The coffee shop example, however, sounds like it's both non-public and material, yet in the US is not considered insider trading. So you might say "non-public material information" is necessary, but not sufficient, grounds for an insider trading case.

SSH isn't the only protocol supported by Tramp (from what I hear, it's actually a late addition). Essentially, if you can get somehow get a shell on a remote machine, you can make Tramp work with it.
You're looking at a bad example. Good backup encryption generates a local AES key on a ramdisk, encrypts the backup with that, decrypts the AES key with a public key and stores the result. This makes it cryptographically hard to access the backups. The host never has access to the private key to decrypt the AES key to encrypt the backup into a usable form. There's no vault involved there because public keys aren't security relevant.

On the other hand, we're running a lot of mutual TLS authentication via CAs in vault. Vault has the private key of these CAs, and authenticated hosts can request signed client certificates for these CA chains. In this case, vault enforces certificate parameters, TTLs, CLR and other things. You could keep requesting certs, but once I revoke the vault authentication you stole, you're done once the certificate expires within 3 days.

And on top of that - yes, it's possible to escalate to vault using local credentials for vault. However, that's a very different threat level. Botnets won't abuse your vault instance. Heck, script kiddies wouldn't know how to abuse your vault instance after getting shell access.

If someone can RCE into a box, and find your vault integration, and abuse your vault integration, you're in for a ride and usually, vault won't be your problem at this point.
That's going to be interesting if they still do that in a post-GDPR world without positive informed consent.
We use Vault in our environment and deployments... Vault has a concept of using tokens for authentication to pull secrets. You can assign max number of uses, max TTL and other parameters when you generate them.

For our deployments, we generate a single token with a max # of uses that matches the target server count for our deploy and also a very short TTL of 5 seconds. Our code gets pushed and the token is passed to each server (in an env var) during that time and a command is passed to refresh environment vars with secrets from Vault. So if a token gets compromised it's very likely to be used up and/or expired.
Criminalizing bugs would be insane, and would drive up the cost to create software, and probably also drive down the quality (due to pushing us into a smaller ecosystem of proprietary code). It would definitely kill open-source, because who would be stupid enough to release a source-tree that could send them to jail.

That said, statutory civil penalties (fines per occurrence) for the effects of the bug in production _would_ fix the problem. Who is going to keep giant data-lakes around when they are the business equivalent of toxic waste? The developers are still able to write code, but they are incentivized to not collect extraneous user data.
To be fair, I have noticed more and more "creep" from Google full stop. I was hoping GDPR was going to put some sort of dent into this behaviour from large corporations, alas.

Open source doesn't mean they have to accept any old feature you want to add to their project.

Other articles on hn mention correctly that right now in technology monopolies are the norm and anti-trust is dead (maybe a little dramatization there).

The 30% cut from distribution platforms is arbitrary, not based on cost, but rather implicit collusion based on what apple can extract from their flock.

I'd say this Epic launcher is a great exception to this and I hope it sticks.
US government per diems are actually quite high. The standard per diem for daily food is roughly $50...and more than that in high-expense locations like LA, SF, DC, etc. There is a separate per diem that can go toward lodging, which is significantly higher and generally would cover the cost of most hotel stays excluding resorts or 4 or 5 star hotels.

The HN demographic may be loaded compared to the general public, but it's also young, single, and male compared to the general public. Quite arguably, not the best suited to intuitively judge this product, and it's not like there is sufficient data presented to analytically judge it.

People bend traffic rules all over the world. At some point of time even the ones commenting has broken a traffic rule or two. With 1.3 billion population and 1/3 sq ft area to that of US, yes space is a commodity in India. I had been to Italy and driving there is chaotic as well.New york is another classic example. People in overpopulated areas develop a sense of competitiveness which evolves and pushes them to the way things are. If people understood the basis of the problem than just pointing at the problem, we can all make a better world together.
In addition to what others have said, having a secrets management system like this makes re-keying easier in the event of a compromise. If one app is compromised, you can easily update the DB keys without having to recompile/redeploy every app that uses the DB. You would still have to redeploy the compromised app to change its keys for accessing the secrets management service, though.

Two of your issues are currently being worked on. The autodiff tracker stuff is temporary until the lower overhead and almost invisible compiler based AD mentioned in the blog post is fully ready. No custom types needed.

There are also various autobatching packages being developed.

Regarding the GPU semantics, wouldn't that be solved by simply using a distributed array of GPU arrays?

Since flux is lightweight, generic, modular and pure Julia, these things can be developed in third party packages.

Re: the soft war, I think perhaps the biggest threat is the disinformation campaigns being run by various worldwide entities, including the Chinese.

This is one of the best summaries I've seen about democratic governments as they contrast to 'soft' totatalitarian countries like Russia and China. This is why we all want to live in democracies.

https://warontherocks.com/2018/01/contrasting-chinas-russias...

The operational differences, for all their practical implications, may be less important than the simple recognition that Beijing and Moscow both approach influence operations and active measures as a normal way of doing business. The United States approaches covert action as something distinct from the routine business of foreign policy, requiring special authorities and oversight or legal arguments over whether Title 10 or Title 50 applies. This is simply not the case for the contemporary Chinese or Russian states. They still bear the hallmarks of their totalitarian and Leninist pasts.*

I was going to comment on The Epoch Times and China Daily (two English language papers that are tools to run influence operations), but let's leave that one for another day and just recognize that we need real, honest, truth-seeking media to have a democracy, and democracies need to figure out how to deal with our new media environment that is penetrated by disinformation.
