If they are using contractors that have DNS accounts with email and password as authentication, and who reuse that on other online websites which later get leaked, then that is major a failure in procurement when the bid was initially created.

> The point is that all infrastructure really should be managed with code

That I agree 100% with. If the agency itself has a IT department with experience and knowledge then the most optimal choice is that they do it themselves with either something like Terraform or their own physical hardware with authoritative DNS running on it. Agencies that is involved with either critical infrastructure, personal information, or state secrets should always have a security risk analyze done which describe what would happen if someone broke into DNS and where the vulnerabilities are. Sadly very few agencies does this.

Other agencies are likely better served by updating their procurement in respect to DNS management and make sure the requirements lists liability and high security. Make sure that rather than some cheap bulk registrar with a do-it-yourself control panel, where the registrar always have zero livability if the credentials are leaked, it is better to pay a more costly management company that manage the infrastructure with code.

Every year Stallman sounds less crazy. I used to think it didn't matter what tools I chose as a lone developer making consumer tech products and DSP audio applications. But over time, I saw that consumers rely on frontier-makers more than you think, even though they may lag behind by a few years.

I reluctantly switched to Firefox because it still has add-ons and since Chrome's web tools are so good. With Mozilla's Rust adoption, Firefox got fast. This means my web products work a little better on Firefox, intentional or not. When enough people make that choice, a tipping point forms in the future. Paul Graham wrote about this in "The Return of the Mac" [^1].

Don't underestimate the power of your choice at the frontier, even if it takes a while to reverberate through time.

If it was agreed by both parties that the spouse wouldn’t work. The woman leaving their job because they now have a husband that supports her was never supposed to be part of the deal.

When it’s part of the deal, it is supposed to be temporary while the children grow up, not a permanent right of the wife to cease supporting her lifestyle.

It was supposed to help the children. Marriage was for the children initially.
This may be the case in the US, but in most of the world, places such as India, China, and even parts of Europe, people still hand down clothing, and have a very real need for mending...

When I was studying, I used to turn my round neck shirts into V neck by cutting the middle and stitching. Just for fun and it thought me how to stitch, at least to a point.

Today it is not about knowing, it is about time. I can't spend 30 minutes fixing my clothes because my 30 minutes is more valuable than a tshirt's cost. Or I don't want to deal with ordering glue for my shoe and work on fixing it, I take it to a shoe repair and get it fixed for $10.

Things got more convenient than war times. We don't need to turn potato sack burlap into clothing anymore. Although, I also believe a man should know how to stitch a button if they need to. I want people to repair electronics rather than clothing.
Not in places like California, where many HN commentators are. Everything by default becomes common ownership unless you explicitly take steps to establish otherwise, with only a few exceptions (e.g. certain retirement accounts). It’s a state level thing though, so there isn’t one story for the whole US.
Well, there are all sorts of expectations. There is the expectation that your wife will remain faithful to you, for example. But if she doesn't, the courts will still make you pay her in some sick inhuman ritual. I'm honestly surprised there aren't more men totally checking out in these situations.

edit: I'd love to discuss this with downvoters. I'm genuinely baffled things are set up this way.
Children's clothes do need mending. They fall over and play games in their newest jeans or jumper, no matter what you tell them. When they outgrow they can be passed to the younger brother or sister.

It was actually children that caused us to rediscover mending. Case of having to really. We were not going to throw away the week old jacket because they inconveniently put a rip down half the front, or buy new school pants because they put a hole in the knee playing football at break.

Jeans, no matter how cheap, go first in one of two places. The main button hole or knees. 5 mins patching will get another year out of them. More expensive jeans can be patched for much longer though. Which is where the whole fashion for ripped or patched jeans came from in the first place. :)

On non-gym days, I go for a 1-2 hours walk in the park/woods in the evening. It's very soothing and meditative (thanks in no small part to being unplugged from electronics), plus you can still get sweaty if you walk fast enough. Obiously, you also get plenty of oxygen vs the gym.

that’s a fair grievance. At least in the current world you can raise those concerns publicly without being censored. You can raise awareness and organize individuals to enact change.

> Do you have any experience in game development?

Yes I do, which is why I handily spotted your attempt to bury the lede

>not using either it or Unreal is economic suicide.

Unreal is source-available, and while you owe them royalties (fairly enough for all the work they've done), you can port it to a new platform.

And how is using Godot, libGDX, cocos2d, or dozens of other engines and frameworks people used for decades "economic suicide"?

The notion that starting from a framework that includes the kitchen sink and more is magically a requirement to make a successful game is silly.

The words of the creator of Braid, one of the most successful indie games of the decade:

> I don't have any desire to use a different engine for many reasons, and it's unclear which are the most important reasons, so let's start with the least usual one. Which is: when I'm making these games, they're not just commercial products. They're expressive works that we're working very hard to make, and we want them to have as long of a lifetime as possible. So I would like this game to be relevant 20 years from now, 40 years from now. How do you do that? Well, you don't necessarily do that by building it on top of a very complicated system, that you don't own, that somebody else will cease to support at some point in the future. Once future consoles happen or current PC operating systems no longer work, we at least have the source code to the whole system so we can make it work in the future. If Unity ceases to support something in the future, you basically have to rewrite it on a different system, and depending on how much of your gameplay depends on the core of how that worked, it may be very difficult or impossible to reproduce the same thing."

Don't confuse the fact that Unity lets you churn out content quickly with the idea you need it to succeed.

Unity's ubiquity is as much from good indie games as it is metric tons of soulless chaff clogging up every major software store on ever platform

And besides, on one hand this thread is talking about archiving games by porting them to hypothetical systems that somehow can't run a Windows executable (laughable in itself honestly), but the know-how and effort to make a game without Unity is "economic suicide"?

>Their devs might have trapped themselves by being locked in by the engine.

This is not Unity's fault or problem. Unity made the huge step of making the C# portion of their engine source-available, which already tells me they're headed in the right direction, but trying to wave the "archival" flag in their face is silly.

Archival isn't a problem on Unity's side. If we ever reach a place where you can't run a Unity game on a Windows PC, the work people will do will not be to try and run Unity games on Windows 2095, it will be to get Windows 10 running on the machines of the future.
Route53 was very slow to even enable CAA itself. They are not exactly at the bleeding edge of DNS features.

CA/B Baseline Requirement 3.2.2.8 says to do RFC 6844, and that CAs need to implement at least enough DNSSEC so that they can determine whether "the domain's zone does not have a DNSSEC validation chain to the ICANN root" because if there is no DNSSEC validation chain you can treat DNS failure as permission.

In practice most larger CAs just do DNSSEC entirely here, Let's Encrypt uses it everywhere. Deployability to ordinary end user clients remains poor due to middle boxes and local DNS implementations that are garbage, but if you actually control your network (as a competent CA should) then it isn't a problem.

The sort of CAs and CA-customer relationships where DNSSEC was argued to be problematic aren't going to be doing ACME CAA, or probably ACME at all.

Nope, had a couple of jobs at uni as an iOS dev. Problem is I don't know how to sell myself as a developer or look for jobs.
You're forgetting that things are getting automated. More and more work is done by robots and software. Faster, cheaper, better than human labor.
Wait before rolling it over, probably at least 30 days. If you do it immediately it is considered a single transaction and illegal. If audited they’ll make you reclassify it and pay penalties.
Take a look at https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns/ (which of course still requires trust in the client lib)

We do something similar, although not through a REST API. We handle all this cert management centralized on one server, which publishes the DNS records for DNS verification etc.

On our other servers is then just a simple script that periodically checks if the certs on the machine are near the expiry date and if so pulls a new one from the central system.

I just re-read your earlier thread. Lots of very interesting comments. I didn't notice what industry you are currently working in. If you are working for an IT vendor or consulting then you will pretty much earn whatever the market rate is for your skills in that industry.

As a front-end developer getting an MBA might simply move you onto a different track, but right from the starting point, competing with other MBA graduates.

If you are very serious about earning more, then the first step is to get a job with your current skills in an industry of your choice. Then once you are in a different industry learn everything about the business practices of that industry and seek promotion into business analyst role, from there you can move into more business roles which are better paid than the best of IT professionals. Once you are in that space doing a MBA part-time might help. But that depends on the business you work in.

Another way of getting into very well paid work is to switch to sales. The best sales people earn more than most of the management positions. But it does take a certain aptitude and lots of perseverance to become a good sales person.

I really liked Canada's approach to this, the "Tax Free Savings Account".

You get contribution room for every year that you are 18+ and a tax resident. Money goes in post-tax; withdrawals of principle and growth are tax-free. Withdrawals can happen at any time with no penalty; you get the contribution room back in the following year.

Right now Canadians get $6000/year of contribution room; anyone who's been in Canada since they were introduced in '09 has something like $63k of contribution room accumulated. $6000 is a tangible number for a teenager with a part-time or summer job, and the lack of withdrawal penalties means that the account doubles as an emergency fund (which is what you should be doing with your first dollars if you go by r/personalfinance's chart).

Then again, the Canadians also don't have the whole "savings accounts are limited to six withdrawals" nonsense.

Quite sure you are right, unless my memory is failing sitewide github search of codebases required a login. Searching for repo names without login was ok though.

Possibly it was only enforced for very generic search queries returning thousands of results but it has been around a long time, Github acquisition was only in October 2018.

I actually remember an early WWDC where someone from the leadership team, I think Bertrand Serlet, demonstrated exactly this with an iBook. It was a pretty big deal at the time, so it used to work.

For me, the biggest complaint with the new phones is that they're all way to big. The XS is the smallest, but I don't really want to spend on the flagship when it's a compromise for me.

If they'd add a slightly smaller XR, that'd probably be the ticket. Or a high end SE/X... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That’s true. Americans need to be more informed about what they are voting on, but that is something we can change. Also, given the Chinese government’s love for internet censorship, it is not without basis to believe that non-Chinese governments will have more censored internet if their internet is relying on Chinese telecom. At least in the current world you can speak freely to spread awareness and enact change even if it is opposing the US government.
It's also important to understand that color spaces are used for medium to medium conversions.

Human perception is always a part of this but not always the goal.

For example in print a color space can be used to control how ink flows on paper. A lot of ink for dark colors on thin paper will result in a mess. That's why a color space converted image for such a print will look waay to light. But the result will be a good dark print.

And ofcourse this looks much better to the human eye.

Edit: I might be confusing the term color profile...

I have long thought the term 'digital native' is a sort of filter for people who are not actually technologists but avid consumers of mostly social platforms.

> "had a couple of jobs at uni as an iOS dev"

That's a great start, but what kind of jobs are we talking about here? I'm asking because you might want to invest into building more experience before breaking off on your own. I'm talking about possibly larger projects, cooperating with other teams, driving products forward, working with PMs/customer requirements and so on. One way to get there is to work at a larger organization. People place value on experience.
...and whether she stopped working for the kids, and whether the father was given the possibility to be the one that stops working for the kids.

I’m surprised that so many people assume men have much choice. They’re often put in that position de facto, and they do checkout of marriage because the rules are unbalanced worldwide.

Between 42% and 75% people in Japan, depending on how you ask the question, plan not to marry or not to even seek love. In USA, MGTOWs get a lot of hate because they checkout of the idea of a romantic relationship. They are explicitly forbidden in the ToS of Vimeo. Today it is forbidden to talk to men about the risks and the number of females who adopt toxic behavior in marriage, and the sole accepted answer is usually: « That’s why it’s important to discuss with your wife ».

When people say « Well, men have accepted the contract of marriage, they should suffer the consequences », first I hear no such obligation about women, but men do massively fight the unbalanced rules of the contract, and are humiliated by society when they do it.

I remember when one of the markers of being a technical person was using the word directory vs the word folder.

It seems arbitrary but I think the reason is that non technical users always feel more comfortable sitting at the exact level of abstraction of the interface without translating it into what it actually is, in computing terms. A folder is something you recognise, you put files in it, there's even an icon that looks like a folder - a file extension is the 'type' of the file and controls the progam that will open it. That's all you need to know.

I'm not sure those non technical users have got less technical with time, I just think the abstraction has moved up a level from the OS and file storage being something they have to think about regularly, to now apps mostly just handling storage and files for you and presenting the data through their interface (i.e. The concept of a file being separate from the app that uses it is going away somewhat).

The people that were dealing with folders and file extensions may seem now in retrospect to be more low level, but they weren't. That was just the interface/abstraction available to them at the time. I don't think they had a better model of what was going on underneath than someone today who just taps app icons etc.

When I was a kid, my dad changed the oil in our cars, replaced brakes and spark plugs, and if it broke down he could at least diagnose it if not fix it himself.

Now I'm grown up, and cars have changed a lot. I have a tesla, and the only thing I can really service on it myself is the washer fluid. But it's also more reliable and doesn't need constant tinkering.

This was what came to mind reading this. I was of the "tinker" generation with computers, which have changed a lot since then. More reliable, more user friendly. I don't expect my children will have the same relationship with them I did, just like I didn't have the same relationship with cars my parents did. But maybe they will be the tinker generation of something else...
