Full disclosure: I'm a systemd skeptic.

The problem is basically that Linux used to be about choice (choose your distro! choose your DE! choose your shell! choose your browser!) but now that it's become big business, large corporations like Red Hat (developer of systemd) have transformed the evolution of Linux from a bottom-up consensus system to a top-down "we develop all the stuff you use and now it all uses our stuff so now you do too" approach. It's _very_ hard for me to build a system without systemd; I can use a niche Linux distro, I can use a BSD, or I can hack another init system (etc.) in myself. None of those are satisfying, I think for obvious reasons.

systemd is not well written, and it is not well designed. Its style and architecture are inconsistent. Parsing is mixed with validation and business logic. The types of CVEs its generated show that there was no coherent thought put into input validation, fuzzing, taint analysis, and so on. The effects of those flaws (your whole system crashes, etc.) show that failure strategies were never considered. And if all that sounds like overkill to you, maybe it is! But I can tell you that these techniques and design strategies are employed by experts to build software that must be robust, like software that controls medical equipment or transportation control systems. We know how to build software that works and that mitigates failures. Looking at systemd's code, it's clear they used none of that knowledge. And that, combined with its sprawling control over my system, makes me not want it on my machines.
Meaning they hacked Instagram? I think you are mislead by the "private contact number" phrase.
This comment makes no sense. Show HN is supposed to gather feedback, not "likes".

If you don't want honest feedback, then why bother posting here? I find people take honest criticism as personal attacks way too often. Nothing criticized here detracts from what they've done. If this was my product, I'd be super happy that I got this huge list of things to improve out of a single post.

Compare that to a few "weeeeee, it's nice!" comments.

If you want empty happy feedback, share it on Facebook.

Great bold statement out of a personal anecdote! Yet Google and FB joint market cap is 1.3 trillion dollars and they employ thousands of people paid a fortune to build personalized ads models. Everyone must be stupid, right?

Why can't a doctor see an anomaly and decide not to chase it down based on the same reasoning that they use to not scan for it? Is there some pointless legal trap related to malpractice where the only allowable "don't operate" decision happens when the doctor decides what to test for?
I believe you mean subsistence, not substance.
The article has theories regarding that too.
Don't Uber and Lyft lose on every ride? I wonder if the increased fair caused by this cooperation makes the average ride profitable. Perhaps the price of a ride is more elastic than Uber and Lyft think? Especially at airports.
yes we see 2d surfaces in 3d. Dolphins can actually see in 3d as they can sense entire 3d volumes and project them back to eachother too.
Yes, that's what the article suggests.
In capitalism, by definition you are compensated less than the work you put in. The leftover is called "Surplus". And that is divvied up between the board,C levels, and shareholders (sometimes). The surplus is never split up to the ones who actually do the work.

I'm sure the complaint will be that I'm calling for state socialism. Nope. I'm calling for worker coops, and worker owned businesses. That way, we the workers can profit(positively or negatively) from our own input.

Metal 3D printing technology is maturing rapidly. Many of the aerospace standard materials are available (aluminums and stainless steels, though titaniums seem to not quite be there yet). You won't find it in production much across the aerospace industry, except in trivial applications. ~Everyone~ is testing heavily, and trying to find the sweet spots where it makes sense. Probably a few more years before it flies on anything manned.

I've been the only remote worker on a team in the past, and it was a horrible experience. Ways you might be able to avoid that:

- Treat communications as a first-class management consideration for yourself and every team member. Make sure your team gets the message.

- Treat telecommunications issues, especially the quality of teleconference calls, as a top-level issue. Otherwise the remote worker will, again, be at an information disadvantage. He/she will have to choose between (a) repeatedly asking everyone in the meeting to repeat themselves, move closer to the mic, adjust the camera orientation, etc., or (b) miss some potentially important communication.

- Remember that every fun perk for physically present staff (going out to lunch together, having an after-hours beer, etc.) runs the risk of making the remote worker feel left out and not an integral member of the team. Treat this as a management problem.

If these problems are manifest, not only will you suffer the direct implications of missed communications, but you're likely to face a disengaged worker, which is fun for nobody.

>In the UK, for example ICO aims to offer warnings and guidance in most cases. They aim to get people compliant, levying fines in cases of wilful contempt or egregious slackness.

It is rather disingenuous to upsell ICO as a vanguard, instead of describing it as a toothless quango, at best.
I love TOH, but the last few seasons they have started doing more "field trips" (lets go see how glass is made) and less home improvement. For me this makes it less enjoyable to watch.
My personal experience with interacting with the WNA revolves around their interactions with the WNU, which is the World Nuclear University. It's a partnership between the WNA, IAEA, and others. Their goal is to promote education in the field and having significant experience with the WNU, and having noticed no irregularities, it would be very unlikely if the WNA was simply making things up, or if they were spreading falsehoods. The WNA site is consistently pointed to as a global source of truth by the WNU and by the IAEA.

Could you enlighten me as to who would be a more reliable source on nuclear technology?

Would an organization evidently so deeply ingrained with and tied to the UN and the UN's nuclear-specific arm, backed by numerous experts, really be in the business of misleading anyone? Would you disregard a pro-climate change website for its pro-climate change bias as well?

If you still don't believe me, feel free to drop your email and I can setup a time for you to meet several physicists or engineers in the NYC area for lunch, for an educational session free of charge.

The OTA updates for car are more important that for any device IMHO. Phones are 'cheap' enough where you can upgrade every two years w/o breaking a sweat. Cars OTOH cost much more and getting software refreshes provides tons of value. Think about it, 2012 Teslas are STILL getting OTA software updates. How many devices do you own that are 6+ years old that are getting updates on a regular basis?
I have learned the hard way not to fall in "love" with any job and it is paying very well!

After having been let down from pretty much all my managers and companies I have worked for,
I decided to radically change my attitude.

I only stick around a company for as long as:
- I can constantly learn and improve my skills
- I can work with smart people
- Salary, benefits, and bonuses match the market

As soon as one of these conditions no longer holds I start looking for a new job.

A job is a contract where a company pays you in exchange for your services nothing more nothing less.

It is not worth it to buy into the company X.Y.Z hype of changing the world. Company social events etc.. I have a simple rule, If I stay up all night fixing s..t I do expect that
to be rewarded $$ and not just in beers, chocolates or just thank you.

At the end of the day when you leave your job, no one is gonna care for all the non-rewarded
hard work that you did it to save the day. No one is gonna remember that, especially your boss.

Make yourself a favor: always keep in mind that the most important thing is yourself and your family. So always do what's best for you. A job is just a job even if they provide massages and fancy perks in the office ;)
The government has already effectively been banned from doing this by the 1st amendment.

If we apply due process rules to this - we'd need a judge to sign off on every takedown which is very inefficient and probably stupid at best.

The recent government first amendment violation in San Francisco is an indication that the government still thinks it can do what it wants, we have a long way to go before any of us should trust it.
With not very much free time it took me a few months if trial and error getting clean prints from my cr10s.

I also learned not to upgrade slicer software and firmware at the same time.

Chernobyl made around 1,000 sq mi 'uninhabitable' for around a century. (Some of the area will be safe to occupy in far less time, some in far more) If we learned nothing from that accident and had one such accident per decade while providing all the world's electricity, we would lose about 10,000 square miles of land to radioactive contamination.

Those assumptions seem extremely unfavorable to me - accidents should be less frequent and less severe with modern reactor designs and sane operating procedures. But yet, powering the US alone with solar would take approximately 17,500 square miles - and irradiated zones from nuclear accidents are less damaging to the environment than solar panels are.
Unfortunately, that tool only gives me all of the data I put on there myself. So nothing I didn’t already have

I believe that is all you are entitled to, under the data portability portion of GDPR:

The data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller

For information about you, uploaded by someone else, I thought your rights are not so clear:

Where personal data have not been obtained from the data subject, the controller shall provide the data subject with the following information:

(c) the purposes of the processing for which the personal data are intended as well as the legal basis for the processing;

(d) the categories of personal data concerned;

(e) the recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data

I just got a 2018 BMW 2 series and it's the best system I've personally used outside of a Tesla. It has a mobile connection so it can find POIs very quickly. It's surprised me many times when I've asked it to navigate somewhere.

I'm sure the recent crop of Audis and Mercedes are the same. The German brands seem to be finally getting on the voice assistant train with a "Hey Mercedes" or "Hey BMW" cue.
Pandora Launches New Desktop App for Mac
Agreed that there are some real gems on Youtube. What is more, the various presentations work for different people, so finding someone who can explain the process to you in a way you understand is more manageable.

I think the subtext of the article which is that skilled tradespeople are to be admired just as much as skilled professionals (doctors, lawyers, Etc.) is sometimes overlooked.

For young people, especially those who have been told that a STEM job is the only job you can excel at and get respect, this message needs to be surfaced more often. You can be respected and in demand and well paid by mastering a skill that takes practice and experience. You don't need an expensive college degree, you just need a solid mentor.
I have to agree here. Out of all the things I've seen, the hero part was the only one that made me cringe.

Other than that, I couldn't figure out much of what this product can offer me. For a while I thought it was yet another NodeJS kind of framework for bootstrapping the millions of other frameworks there.
I have never read anyone say that ever.
I'll add to this Ishitani Furniture. It's not quite informative like many of the others you mentioned as there is no narration or exposition, it's a little more artistic in that you simply admire a skilled craftsman performing his craft from start to finish.
Ah, don't take the post as an ad for the HTC 10. I only got it for the great headphone amp (I have Sennheiser HD 650 headphones with 300R impedance). I think there are better supported LOS devices. Especially with other users warning about the battery.

Essential Craftsman is fantastic. For anyone who doesn't know, the concept is that he is building a spec house and walking you through every step of the process, from surveying the site, to getting permits, all the way through building it.

It would be amazing if the desktop OS had a right-click option to validate checksums for you. Just something simple that when clicked allows the user to choose which type of hash to generate, then you still have to compare to the website. In 2019 with the amount of data downloaded, this is something the OS vendors need to do more for their users.
I really didn't mean it in an insulting way, I just wanted to shorten saying things like "Be forced to use a specific proprietary client+protocol and have all of your private messages stored by a for-profit company indefinitely". I could have used better phrasing because freedom and privacy mean different things to different users though, yes.
Can you share some evidence for that claim? It doesn't seem intuitively true to me, but I could be convinced that higher risk-tolerance tends to be rewarded. I'd be curious to hear more about where your idea comes from.
> but that could change

If it changes, then I no longer love my job...
This is all FUD with zero data backing it up.

The article makes it sound like there is accurate weight sensors in the vehicle, which is ridiculous. One might be able to derive some number from vehicle performance information, but I'd like to see an actual study showing that it's (a) possible and (b) accurate for any sort of use.

> Modern cars collect as much as 25 gigabytes of data per hour

Sure, add up all the bits in the CAN messages being sent around constantly and you might get that number. That amount of data is neither being stored nor sent off-vehicle.

What a dishonest article.

Sure, there are other concerns and bash is not an ideal language, but memory safety is responsible for quite a large number of security flaws, since its lack turns bugs into code execution vulnerabilities on a regular basis.

I don't really have an opinion on what language should have been picked instead, though OCaml may be a good candidate.

No, the video doesn't contain any additional explanation; it's just an example of a real-world implementation of the idea in Oculus's VR interface.

I couldn't find any additional information on why they didn't choose a sphere, though perhaps it has something to do with the additional distortion that would be created by bending the UI in two directions at the same time.
You would need to split subway-like buses and less frequent suburban buses. Suburban buses need to navigate streets.
I'm just glad the name is clear about what version it is!

Hated the "New iPad Air" and "New 3DS". Like, how am I supposed to communicate that to people? People don't know what is "new" and what isn't unless they've been following the releases. Plus, in 5 years we can't say "new" because there were future releases! God it makes me so angry!

Edit: At the very least put a number in there, and increment it with every major revision. Then even your grandma can tell the difference between "Widget Gen 1" and "Widget Gen 2". Unless you pull a USB... Those people aren't right in the head.
I actually really like systemd's service files, and the functionality it provides. I like the ability to express dependencies clearly, the fine-grained control over server restart behavior, and a ton of other systemd features. I'm also very happy to see it replace cron.

What I _do not_ like are:

- systemd-resolved
- systemd-networkd
- systemd taking over disk mounts
- systemctl
- unit files spread out all over the place
- mandatory journald
- mandatory dbus
- only works on Linux
- pushing the BSDs farther towards being obsolete

I'm very glad to see sysv-init on the way out, personally. I think systemd unit files are a huge improvement, and greatly improve standardization and init quality. But that doesn't intrinsically mean that the systemd project is doing the right thing.
Not sure what that example is trying to show.

A company that requires ads and data to pay for the service cannot be forced to provide that service without those ads and data at no cost to a user. The choice is freely given as a user by not giving consent to data, which means the site doesn't offer the service.

If I were required to do that sort of thing, then I would consider that being taken advantage of, and I would stop loving the job.

Looks very inefficient.

Pressing a key on a keyboard works better than using spatial input from a pointer device for those cases. To click a button/icon there is a feedback loop that requires vision processing, correction, anticipation, and hand eye coordination. You have to iterate many times in this loop to move to the correct location. Often the refresh latency makes this problem even harder.

This problem is better understood when you have a virtual keyboard and only a single pointer.

Ctrl/Cmd-C is easier and faster than moving the mouse to Edit -> Copy.

Creative professionals rely on physical keyboards and buttons on the mouse for actions and only use spatial input for things that are spatially relevant (pan, placement, zoom, rotation, selecting surfaces, edges, vertices, etc).
Are there other email services that separate into Primary, Social, Promotions, Updates and Forums like Gmail does? Thats the showstopper for me and marketing pages don't provide evidence of this feature.
>“We may also need to punish overconfident behavior more than we do,” she said.

Who is "we?" Maybe overconfident behavior is adaptive in a world where risk-taking works out enough of the time. Not all overconfidence takes the form of "I rationally know I can't do it but I'll try anyway," it is often closer to, "I rationally don't know whether or not I can do it, but I'll assume that I can and press on."
Do the extra work nobody else wants to do and you can get away with so much. Definitely worth the tradeoff IMO.
There are some cancers where blood biomarkers give us more information than others, but save for leukemia, I'm unaware of any that are sufficient for diagnosis.

While still widely, the effectiveness of some blood biomarkers like PSA (prostate cancer) can be controversial.

So, while I could be wrong since this isn't my area of expertise, there's a long way to go for most cancers when it comes to blood testing.
