did everyone forget the Snowden docs? NSA program ROYALCONCIERGE already hacked into Starwood hotels and stole their entire database of booking and guest dox. worst of all, the hack is persistent and tips off NSA in real time the moment Abu Bakr Baghdadi checks in. or what if this hack was oh say The Shadowbrokers using NSA'S backdoor to shame NSA and close the peep hole spying on every guest of every Starwood hotel in the world? how do we really know this hack wasn't NSA itself? who can you trust?
trust no one. only believe what you have seen with your own 5eyes and certainly never let spooks who lie for a living trick you into going along with another Iraq war based on forged evidence with all the Intelligence chiefs and crooked FBI directors swearing to you on national TV that you just need to trust them, because the evidence is classified, so they can't prove it to you, but you need to get on board with believing in the new false flag Gulf of Tonkin and cheering for the new war. if you don't support the war, then you disrespect the troops and you should get the fuck out of America.

by the way,the Mirai hotel in Hong Kong where Snowden escaped to is a Starwood hotel. isn't it funny that ROYALCONCEIRGE didn't tip off NSA as to exactly where Snowden was the whole time? or maybe it did work and they were watching him all along.

I found OpenBSD in my brief stint to be too useless as a desktop. The installer is quite hostile and stupid (and I don't mean advanced or unix-like before someone tries to defend it; it's actually hostile and retarded. It wiped my gpt table without asking me). The performance was terrible out of the box. It couldn't saturate a standard gigabit Ethernet link on my w530 in iperf, scp etc. pkg management was really slow. pkg_add takes ages like a windows 95 machine. And it doesn't have a standard package update mechanism without relying on a third party like mtier. All in all, the impression I got from using OpenBSD was that it's best used either as an ingredient like OpenSSH in other better operating systems, or maybe for some other specific use cases where these flaws can be overlooked.
I don't think they are trying to do more than they can handle. Every feature I have used on gitlab has worked amazing so it doesn't seem like they are spread thin.
Consoles often (or at least were often) sold at a loss because Sony / Microsoft will make their money back on licences from developers / games sold.

I think it's more that the brain has special circuits for remembering things spatially (wether real or invented), and spatial-oriented memory "hacks" are just piggybacking on those dedicated circuits. It's like how GPUs were designed for games but it turns out they can work great for other tasks like machine learning too, if we massage the problem a bit.
This struggle with cognitive dissonance should be fun to watch the world work through.

I was right there with you until my final attempt which sealed the deal and helped me figure out why I struggled with the first few tries.

The big clincher was the switches. So many mech nerds pine over the clicky bs. NO. THANK. YOU. The magical solution for me is using Cherry Speed Silver RGB switches. There are basically hair trigger switches, no clicking, none of that crap. They respond like a low profile laptop keyboard or whatever, basically, near instant activation. The rest of the travel is just there to buffer your effort. You can literally lightly touch to type which is actually my normal typing style.

So why bother? I game. And I want a reliable sturdy, FIXABLE keyboard for that. Also, it looks cool and is highly customizable. I use it across 3 computers and it's nice to have my mapping swaps just built in, no worrying about mapping that in software, etc.

(Rest of the specifics for the nerds: iGK64 board, wood case, with oem profile abs caps for the translucent goodness, though, cherry profile pbt caps feel real nice too.)
Behind the Scenes of “The Grand Budapest Hotel”
I think this is the challenge. Balancing efficiency and contributions.

If government is over-budgeted, it can become lazy, tempted to put some of it in their pockets, etc.

Under-budgeted, it can break down, such as what is hapenning to Greece.

That's just a hard problem honestly. With no clear answers.

That said, I do feel in the US, people don't actually want the government to give them anything. They're against having it offer affordable health-care, or education, or child care, or paternity/maternity leaves, or environmental safeguards, or proper water cleaning facilities, or art projects, or fund research, etc.

So on one hand people are dismissive of most things the government could provide. But on the other hand, the money is still collected in taxes, it just goes in other things.

I think it hurts priority discussions a bit. It would be one thing to say, cut taxes. But it's another to say, given the current budget, don't spend it on anything nice, because that would be too communist of us.

So where does all the money go then? Military?
Who else gets wicked sore wrists typing on these "ergonomic" keyboards? Perhaps it's because I've typed on regular boards for over 30 years, but, these ergonomic layouts actually hurt me. No normal keyboards bother me at all.

I'm now using cVim[0] plugin on Chromium. When I've switched from Firefox a year ago there was no real alternative to keysnail[1]. Backwards compatibility between Firefox releases began to break beginning of 2017. mooz, the developer of keysnail, managed to do some heroics and bring back the usability of the plugin on the never versions. Finally, Firefox 57 put the nail in the coffin and keysnail was declared dead on the spot. I've tried some alternatives for a few weeks but none could deliver. I found cVim on Chromium, and that saved the day.

See what fellytone84 had to say about keysnail, here on HN, 4 years ago [2]:
I consider Mooz's Keysnail Firefox add-on to be the most impressive keyboard oriented browsing tool. It's endlessly configurable, dotfiles in javascript--really nice to work with.
For Chrome, the Vimium extension is very good, but recently I've been having a lot of fun with a similar, more configurable alternative called chromium-vim.

Gimmickry, nothing more. Switches are a commodity so making something new and special sounding gives a price boost and some popularity for a while. Activation by breaking a light beam vs. activation by completing a circuit, the difference is not going to be noticeable to a human.

Your comment only works because Australian politics lacks any real clear distinction between the two major political parties, and also lacks any real leadership.

You can choose from any of the following one broad categories of incompetence.

So to hell with pragmatism.

Politicians deserve, and should be subject to, unrelenting ridicule and scorn.

I have used both extensively but i prefer Firefox for the following reasons: lower resource footprint, privacy reasons, better session recovery - to name serious few and these i believe are much more important reasons that to say the drop-down menu takes a bit of more ms.

I have stopped using chrome and now am using Opera as the secondary browser with tightened setting.
Where does your opinion on Ansible lie then? It's a systems configuration and orchestration tool that by default, uses SSH as the transport.

For Ansible users, Windows getting OpenSSH is a huge win, since we (presumably) will no longer have to jump through all the hoops WinRM throws you in order to configure Windows machines remotely.
Personally I would say it is a mix. There are some Uber drivers that definitely can be a bit more aggressive but still safe. I suppose it depends on the area/time of day but I'll walk past the line of taxis to get an Uber. If it takes 2 minutes longer to get to my destination, the experience is much better. Hell there have been a few times I wanted the trip to take longer because of the pleasant and engaging conversation.

One pattern I've noticed, taxis honk their horn constantly and obnoxiously. Uber drivers rarely do it. When you hear someone honking their horn for upwards of ten straight seconds, it's a taxi.
I'd say skip step 1, there is lots of cheap and better UI design tools out there (see Sketch, Figma, et al), and they are very easy to learn.

Start by trying to replicate UI designs in the wild, it is incredible helpful! It helps you develop your taste and understanding of relationship between different elements, spacing, layout, grids… soon enough you start to see patterns emerge, which you can use when working on your own designs.

Focus on learning typography: it’s no secret that UI is mostly typography, if you get it right that is the job! Get a good book such as “The Elements of Typographic Style” by Robert Bringhurst – although is focused on print design, the core principles are transferable to digital.

Hope that helps!
Actually. It was my history that was fuzzy, according to Wikipedia you’re right.

Currently reading David Foster Wallace's collection of essays book titled "Consider the Lobster". I get a similar feelings about the topics of the essays because of his great, quirky-for-journalistic-essay style in them.
He wrote realm of "direct" human experience, which presumably means the unaided human senses over a human lifetime.

I think a keyboard has to split in two to be truly ergonomic (otherwise it isn't really adjustable to the user). I was a happy user of an ErgoPro [1] for a year until it stopped working.

I tried the Ergodox but really didn't like adapting to its compacted layout. I am about to purchase a Mistrel Barocco.

you're preaching to the choir here mate. It's corrupt though-and-through, but the Murdoch media controls the narrative in this country, and the vast majority of Australians a) don't care and b) only consider the "but what about ISIS on whats app" argument.

> The thumb button which most mice have

"Most"? Where did you get that idea? "Most gaming mice" or what? Most of the users aren't gamers.

> that means a PgDown button (I guess it is mostly that direction) on the mouse is missing.

Of course is missing: "normal" (as in the most common) mice have only 2 buttons and the scroll wheel.

The scroll wheel never moves one page up (or down), but just some small number of lines, so the most common operation is then impossible for the most of the users just because a developer (who probably even "lives" in his terminal for most of the time, never lifting the both hands from the middle of the keyboard) thinks that everybody has exactly the gear that he has.

Funny thing is that Spanish company Navantia was the first to be accused of this (design errors, inexplicable sinking...) and in this article I still see some indirect finger pointing and yet no proof of that. There is some weird thing going on here.
Perhaps, but voting Green next year will send a clear message that we are looking for change.
The article states that the law is too vague to know how it will be used:

> There is a great deal of vagueness in the law in its current form, and we do not know how it will be interpreted and used when it goes into effect in March.

When dealing with security issues, you are dealing with worst case scenarios. If a law can be abused I am happy my password manager has thought about how to best protect me from this scenario. Same as with software vulnerabilities: if 1password detects one that doesn't mean that someone read my passwords, but I expect them to work on it nonetheless for the slight change someone might.
everything works great on gitlab, until the moment you had to migrate.

Landmine experience in issue lists
> imagine running your code in a debugger, setting a breakpoint, when it hits that breakpoint, you see "ah here's the problem", you fix the code, and have it re-execute all the while not having stopped your program at all. No re-compiling, and then having to re-execute from the beginning.

Java in Eclipse works exactly like this.
A very simple FAI or Kickstart server with small tools to enable provisioning can automate a lot of things in a non-IT oriented workspace.

A simple HTML form to "arm" the installation server, a simple reboot and PXE booting can be much more effective than all the painkillers combined for remedying the headaches of IT people and managers alike.

If you don't roll changes that often, you can distribute emergency USBs to install servers and workstations. Even a single USB can detect and install the system accordingly.
> how do you tell someone that they're underperforming... MBA programs

When you ask someone, "Describe the person you'd like to work for," I seriously doubt talented people say, "An MBA."

So surely you'd see why so many mediocre people wind up working for them.
I am highly doubtful. Uber GPS is terrible in general so I'm guessing they don't have that level of granularity. Plus what do you define as aggressive driving? It can vary depending on traffic flow and patterns of the area.

It’s based on Knative I think, so this is an open source, kubernetes-based alternative tied into GitLab.
Kind of. You can apply a custom class to every element you hover on
> This is a fringe issue!

It depends how you present things, get some press release that say: "The Australian government knows all about your visits to Youporn" would talk to people way more than "Australia new encryption law". About that, see the episode about government surveillance on last week tonight that tries to explain all the NSA programs when it comes to dick picks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEVlyP4_11M
Oh, I was intending to preach to the choir :) Just pointing out a little bit of extra hypocrisy that some might have missed.

Honestly, I don't know how we could possibly win in this scenario. A corrupt media stoking unfounded fears in an ignorant public is a very powerful thing.
I don't understand, half of this announcement refers to the fact that this new feature is built upon Knative:

> It leverages Knative, which enables autoscaling down to zero and backup to run serverless workloads on Kubernetes.

So what are you referring to?
This should not be a discussion about Australia or any government in particular. The discussion should be about the importance of not supporting closed source.

I believe in open-source. This just proves once again that closed source cannot be trusted. I would never use 1Password or any of it's variants. It still amazes me that so many people are sending their most precious secrets to a commercial companies' cloud server.

I only use Keepass open source password manager, every day for over 9 years now, and I'm really thankful to the devs that build and maintain this nice piece of software.

Distress Call: "I'm sinking, I'm sinking."

Coast Guard: "What are you thinking about?"
Certainly. The first sentence already instilled a sense of "they're full of it" in me. I know that's biased.

I checked one of the papers they refer to [0] and... well, they fed mice (not humans) a diet with an 8- to 16-fold increase in salt.

As with all nutrients, there is an optimal intake range, and anything below or above that is by definition sub-optimal. In humans, the optimum for sodium intake per day seems to be well above dietary recommendations, but also well below 16 times the amounts described in those recommendations.

Also, it is worth noting that the first sentence in the linked paper is again repeating the same unreasoned "we all know salt is bad" dogma. Diets high in salt in the western world are also high in many, many other things that are bad for you. Epidemiology is useless to derive new information, it only works to establish future work or to deny previous hypotheses.

It looks like someone got cVim mostly working on firefox in a day, but never had time/motivation to do a real port.

So while I do miss the old extensions, and disagree strongly with how they went about it, any particular thing that's available only on chrome isn't really because chrome is better. With a little push cVim could support both browsers.
Your argument against serverless functions holds for AWS Lambda, but this Gitlab feature is based on Knative. That's an open source serverless platform based on Kubernetes.

I think all money Amazon is throwing at serverless is to build a foundation to ultimately transform all their "managed" services into a serverless form. They already released serverless RDS (https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/serverless/).
(not the OP). I develop linux services on a Mac, connected remotely to a linux workstation. My company pays the Apple tax, and the hardware is nicer. Plus, my friends use iMessage.

I tried using a company Linux device only to find that its graphics drivers weren't supported, the 4k scaling didn't work nicely without spending ~30 minutes looking up how to do it the hard way, and it didn't play nicely when connected to a normal 1080 monitor. I returned the device after (thankfully) it failed.
The book was advised to me years back by by an acquintance who thought I could come off as a jerk at times although my intentions were never so.

I read, and acted on it for some time, And then shifted some. I am an idealists so I was actually looking to educate myself on how to do it best.

Carnegie is right about what people respond to. The part that worked for me was to keep a bright personality. People also wanna be heard. This second one is more taxing on me as it is not my natural mode of thought. Some are far better listeners. I can only spend a small portion of my time on hearing what people have to say. I presume the economy of such efforts is different for others.

Unfortunately some people are not worthy of good interaction. Some are incompetent and some are not good people. They may construe your kind gestures as something they can ride. So a selection process should be in place.

What works for one, may not work for another. Giving ad hoc advice may also backfire.
Realistically, I think there are always people at any organization who could do this—anyone with access to monitoring, alerts, and logs, for example, will be able to make undetected changes. Sure, you can put alerts on your alerts and monitor your monitoring, but you need people to manage that second layer too. And no matter how tightly you restrict access, you’ll need people to manage access control.
Well, I have to give her credit, it is not entirely random.

Like, in Kingdomino, she will make valid moves, but it is apparent her real goal is to have the tile with the image of the flyover dragon neighbor the tile with the lochness monster, because those two are obviously friends and want to go on adventures together :D

It kinda reminds me of me, when playing an euro-game that is little over-my head, like Caverna and after a while I no longer care about doing optimal moves, but I really care that the dwarves have a really nice cave :D
Does anyone know — sorry if I forget the correct terms — whether you can SSH with pub key auth and perform operations that require elevated permissions, such as disk resizing?
