The rebuilt infra wasn’t compromised; what happened was that we rotated the cloudflare API key whilst logged into CF with a personal account but then masquerading as the master admin user. Turns out that rotating the API key rotates your personal one, not the one you’re masquerading as, and we didn’t think to manually compare the secret before confirming it had the right value. Hence the attacker was able to briefly hijack DNS to their defacement site until we fixed it.

Good to see that that did not reduce your long term chances. I really don't like these out-of-hand dismissals without doing the homework first, PHP is not exactly the worlds most elegant language (to put it mildly) but it is definitely not a disqualifying one either.
Nah, it’s very easy to know what’s going on as a result. The endpoint is only ever a single binary that uses environment variables. Nothing mutates the environment. And the environment is only ever a place with an interface to hardware and to data.

There is a single threaded CI for each environment that checks prerequisites, builds, tests, copies, executes and saves logs.

So CI is also a simple queue and binaries remove the need for containers.

Experience has made me a believer in making things only as complicated as they need to be and favouring solutions that can fit into one brain. Do it whenever it fits your requirements and is possible.

Does it have to be mutually exclusive? I mean, Can a hobby that we enjoy to have fun not also make money?

Here's the relationship is unidirectional - do something for fun and if it makes money then it's well and good. Why to drop that just because it makes money (which isn't the original motive).
At least where I live, the segregation isn't on skin color, although it sure looks that way at first glance.

There are two major communities (African Americans and whites) and a number of smaller ones.

The "white" community actually refers to "WASPs and their descendants," but a number of other people get lumped in based on skin color. The AA community refers to descendants of slaves.

The two communities speak different dialects of English. They have drastically different communication patterns (when do you use last name versus first name? when is it okay to yell? how do you show respect?). They have different religious practices. They have different practices for raising kids. They work different jobs. They differ, significantly, on almost all cultural dimensions.

I see very little discrimination or desire to segregate based on skin color. If an Ghanian moves into the community, they're more likely to move into the white community than the African American one. Likewise with African Americans who grew up in WASP communities.

In practice, many immigrants -- of all skin colors including whites coming from places other than Western Europe -- tend to form their own community; they don't quite fit in in either the "white" and the "AA" community. Both communities accept a narrow range of behaviors as appropriate; the broader international community tends to give a bit more cultural leeway. A Nigerian, a Japanese, a Russian, and an Indian immigrant will interact with each other just fine, but quite often don't assimilate too well into either "white" or "AA" communities.
>I know plenty of people in tech that are adverse to the idea of government regulating tech, but at the same time do not believe it is right for the small segment of the population working in tech to decide what conversations we are and are not allowed to discuss

Cloudflare and other tech pundits just want to be free from consequences of their decisions. If gov tell them to censor they would just say, its not us, its you country law.

Good thing you resisted. You absolutely can do an online project with Python :)
I think difficult analysis is a very frequent part of the stock market.

My argument was not so much about luck as about speed of analysis. EMH doesn't allow some people to analyze information faster than others. For example if Intel always releases a 450 page earnings at 11 o'clock, and it takes 4 hours for the market to really analyze it because it's written really abstrusely and that's the fastest anyone can read and figure out its meaning, then under the EMH there's no scope for 1 specific trader to read it in 1 hour and perform the analysis faster, before the price has adjusted to the new information. In fact, under the EMH the price has to instantly fully reflect the implication of the information of the report the moment it is released. If two hours in, a famous analyst (Warren Buffett let's say) tweets about it, and that tweet moves the price, under the EMH it must have moved the price because of new information. It can't just be because the famous analyst is smarter and analyzes better and faster than the rest of the market. Not possible.

That doesn't mean that until the tweet the analyst's better-than-market analysis is somehow "private" (rather than public) for 4 hours. there's no new information, it's just that the public price doesn't fully reflect the completed analysis. The market can be a bit dumb.

But how do you know the facts I just gave are true? How do you know the completed analysis can't be factored into the price the instant the report is released? (The price does jump instantly.) Maybe it jumps to the new fully completed analysis price? Maybe everything I wrote is not true and in fact the market is perfectly efficient, and only new information, or stochastic events, change the price? Maybe it fully reflects all public information all the time?

So I showed how to show that analysts can't all work instantly, yes, under a contrived example. The EMH doesn't require that markets only be efficient under conditions that aren't "contrived". But rather, all the time. you can run the experiment and show it if you want. you can literally see the stock market figure it out. They could also figure it our wrong. Maybe early on #117 will spike (so that prices look like this: https://imgur.com/a/C782Fgt ) - it could be for any reason. Maybe a false rumor that it was leaked (a false leak), whatever. But the market gives the rumor just a 10% chance of being true. But regardless of the reason for the spikes, at the end there must be a single spike, in the value of the stock that actually wins. it must be around $1 billion since it'll have that in cash. (It's important that people actually believe this will happen.)

As far as I know, the only countries where you are obliged to carry your ID are Portugal and the Netherlands. In Germany you are required to possess one but not to carry it with you, except in special cases (fields of work known for a high percantage of illegal workers, people carrying weapons, police men). If you do not posses a valid ID, you will be fined up to 3000€. But do note that you are required to identify yourself to the police or other official institutions and if you are unable to they might escort you home to present your id or to the police office to identify you there.

As you grow older your time becomes more valuable.

But I think the author should take a break from reading sites such as HN, IH, etc. Because in this crowd, everybody seems to be obsessed with having a successful side-business making hundreds or even thousands a month.

I take days off from work to work as a mechanic on race cars. I do it for free and enjoy doing it. I have friends who are professional mechanics who think I am crazy for doing their job for free. But it's not all about money, it's about how you enjoy to spend your time.
I seem to not enjoy any activity period, at this point. This does remind me of the youtube channel `frankieonpc1080p`. He has/had over a million subscriber and he used to make dayz stuff for fun. But he decided never to go full time on it because he knew it would burn him out and he would start hating it. I used to think that was silly but have since changed my mind.
I was going to make a joke about children being ideal chimney sweeps, but I thought I probably shouldn't. I'd appreciate it if you pretended I did, and it was really funny and witty, and made you do a sensible chuckle, and it was tastefully done, so you weren't offended in any way.

Thanks.

One of my hobbies is fixing broken phones / tablets. Many times people have told me I could make decent money if I charged more for my services. That’s probably true, but I don’t want to. I ask cost of parts + $5-10 to afford new tools. That plus the fact it’s fun and I’m helping out a friend is plenty. I don’t want the headaches of turning it into a business.
Here here. Tidyverse also provides a centralised 'this is how you do X' nexus really helps discover-ability. World class stuff, on tap.

For example, I know the recommended pipe in R is magrittr's %>%. I have no idea what the respectable pipe library in Python is, or even if there is one.

I wouldn't even know where to start finding all the tidyverse equivalents in Python. It isn't as organised and obvious as the R statistics community.

On the other hand Base R is the worst. Disgusting language.

A search on Google turns up this Common Lisp code, which appears to define a number of SI units (both base and derived) in the sort of manner described.

http://www-ksl.stanford.edu/knowledge-sharing/lib/unit-conve...

Given the way this appears to be defining some sort of class-based hierarchy, with the correct type requirements this code should perform exactly the sort of unit/type checking the grandparent post wanted, but I didn't go digging into the rest of the project files to confirm this code defined things in the correct manner for that to work.
I’m not sure I’d use as strong language as you (though I personally love the rust compiler’s messages), but I will say it’s gotta count that it doesn’t automatically and silently generate instance methods that explicitly break the memory model (cough rule of three…)

Why did Clojure gain so much popularity?
Wrong in what way? I would wholly agree. I have two kids and it's the most fulfilling endeavour in my life by far. In my 20s I had a drive to become some expert well-known programmer. That all suddenly felt silly when my first was born.

I think one of the greatest boons of parenthood, for me at least, is the complete and total conviction and faith that I'm doing something meaningful with my life. Before kids, I always had doubts that I was using my time here well. Before kids, I really didn't know what unwaivering faith felt like. It's really quite reassuring. It allows me to enjoy my career because my career is no longer the focus and the thing that I must get right. Life is fleeting.
Personally, I use Nim to develop domain specific language for VM, JIT, emulators and neural networks.

I'm currently writing a compiler for deep learning with both AOT (emitting Nim code) and hopefully later JIT (emitting LLVM IR) capabilities complete with SIMD support. I don't see how I could do that in another language.

My biggest successes:

- include a quite maintainable JIT for x86_64 (compared to asmjit and xbyak I don't need to parse or codegen the C++ code): https://github.com/numforge/laser/blob/master/laser/photon_j...

- a DSL for neural network: https://github.com/mratsim/Arraymancer#sequence-classificati...

- a matrix multiplication BLAS written from scratch competitive with OpenBLAS and MKL on select matrix shape (2000x2000) but that can also support int8/int16/int32/int64 and not just float32/float64 thanks to metaprogramming. Expanding to new SIMD architecture (ARM) is very easy:

--> benchmark: https://github.com/numforge/laser/blob/master/benchmarks/gem...

--> Metaprogramming AVX512 support: https://github.com/numforge/laser/blob/master/laser/primitiv...

The most important thing for me for metaprogramming is being able to operate on the AST directly
Apple took the stolen ID used by the criminal. Then Apple incorrectly linked the details of that ID (with no photo), with images of the thief.

Following further thefts associated with that ID, the innocent man was accused of all the thefts based on the ID and an INCORRECT photo match to the stolen ID which Apple had created in its facial recognition system, and used as the basis to inform the police of the suspect.

I tried my best not to be snarky. I thought the article was a normal average article.

Edit: I'm not sure the article says facial recognition was responsible, I think that's what the courts will decide. But to me, its clear that facial recognition was involved, based on the article's title and content

This is the downside of extreme levels of capitalism. We've been trained to seek one goal - and while that goal served well as a proxy for progress, it now does us a disservice. Knowledge, advancement, health, safety, longevity ... these are the goals we should be incentivized for. Compounding those into a single abstract makes it easy to get lost from what is truly valuable in this world, and a side effect is that it's destroying our planet. We are the paper clip machines.

You can output DVI using an HDMI connector and not pay the license fee. So "DVI output via HDMI connector" gets you around the license fee. The fee comes in when you use the actual HDMI spec and implement HDMI stuff like Audio, CEC and actually calling it HDMI.
This is literally me. I am slowly breaking free from this feeling by just doing the things that I put off because I think they won't make me money.

I didn't think up the idea and have an urge to do the thing because I initially thought it would make me money, it was because I knew I would find it fun.

Intel were in a sense lucky, their x86 was just about the most RISCy of the contemporary CISCs - opcodes are (almost) all one memory operand, no indirect memory modes, no autoincrement modes (except for stack) etc etc which means instruction retry on things like page faults are easy because of few side effects

Well it's a difficult problem, and tit-for-tat retribution could be the optimal action based on my little knowledge on game theory (https://ncase.me/trust/). Yet if things would go badly and the global economy go into turmoil, I think it would be notably worse for both.

Another problem I've noted is also the Chinese companies buying up Western companies and seemingly operating as Western, but actually being fully owned by the Chinese companies which might be even indirectly owned by the Chinese government. Volvo, Supercell, Nokia phones (HMD Global) comes to my mind. From what I learned Western companies can not similarly buy Chinese companies at least fully, and part-Chinese ownership is almost required for a company to become highly successful in China.

So my conclusion is that if foreign companies can't operate freely in China, why should Chinese companies be able to operate with much less restriction in those same countries. Especially if it yields a monetary benefit for the Chinese doing so. Doesn't seem smart. Would love to see some actual research on this.
To be fair, the article is a lot better than the title suggests.
> This leads us to my favorite architecture for serverless apps: hexagonal architecture, alternatively called ports and adapters. As it’s creator, Alistair Cockburn, explains, the hexagonal architecture allows an application to equally be driven by users, programs, automated test or batch scripts, and to be developed and tested in isolation from its eventual run-time devices and databases.

https://vacationtracker.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/hexago...

This seems like a new buzzword for an existing (but still very good) thing, abstraction layers.

The original article (http://alistair.cockburn.us/Hexagonal+architecture) is down though, so it's entirely possible it was was written in the late 90s when these practices started becoming widespread particularly with Java and Gang of Four (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_Patterns).

Edit: dzone says 'Hexagonal Architecture' was from 2005. https://dzone.com/articles/hexagonal-architecture-what-is-it... Make of that what you will.
I was very much like that. Then by coincidence, I got into RC-car racing. Not only is it fun, a community, and a way to see yourself improve - it is my first non-programming-hobby-activity since being a teenager, and most importantly a money sinkhole - I love it!

There are plenty of places today where children are still your social safety net, especially as you go into retirement. We just happen to live in incredibly well-off countries where this need and motivation has largely disappeared (which shows to some degree in our reproductive rates). There's nothing wrong with it - practical reality trumps blind ideals every time.

Don't extrapolate your unique and personal reactions to and experiences with parenting to the whole population. Raising children is one of the most unique personal things a person to experience, assuming your reaction to it is in any way the 'norm' seems extremely presumptuous.
Because there are people and places today and plenty of historical contexts where children were and are investments into the parents' futures. Think of places where universal healthcare or pensions don't exist.
