I'm supposed no one has mentioned the - sort of - deterioration in our relationships. back in the day it used to be a lot easier for two people up meet, fall in love, get married and have kids. I'm not saying that there weren't any forced marriages, but that's not my point. In the age of tinder we are exposed to more and more people and possibilities. So basically it seems like the average Joe and Betty keep holding off for the perfect mate, when chances are they already rejected them. I'm just observing that the typical meets are decreasing rapidly and could be to, at least partially, blame.
This is HN. We all know that anyone from one of those countries that wanted to, could easily have put money into this just by changing their IP address.

> I wanna see the brain of JavaScript developer compared to a Lisper, Rustacean, ... .

Makes me wonder if a person using multiple different programming languages would have a different looking scan depending on which of their preferred languages they were using.

Actually that wouldn’t entirely surprise me if it did. I think I think in different ways when I program in Rust vs JS or Python at least. (All three of which I use and enjoy for different kinds of purposes.)

Fortunately there are also people who prefer meadows to "perfect" green deserts.

And fortunately it's even possible (though pretty hard) to 'turn' people.

Couple of years ago I slowly started explaining in detail why pretty much anything is better as far as nature goes than a short lawn consisting of only grass, and also explaining that the idea that such lawn is the summum of gardening is purely a cultural and economical thing without much real benefits but just costing money for the owners of the lawn. This year my neighbour proudly said he would not be mowing a small piece of his fairly huge lawn because he wanted to see more bees and butterflies (which are abdundant in my own meadows) and he might not try to remove the moss this year. So now we're both happier than before. And my neighbour will spend less time and money. Sometimes life is simple yet good.

How Do Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V Work?
Your first two points are great. Your third is a wickedly pernicious lie. I'm assuming from the context of your first two points that was not your deliberate intention.

Imagine for a moment that coal, oil, gas, metals, rare earth elements, lithium, etc etc were all simply an interchangeable concept of "bad mass". Meaning, we need the mass to do something, but the process of mining/extracting/producing it has bad side affects.

One way of doing things, the bad mass is produced and consumed on a constant basis. The gas in your tank is used exactly once.

The other way of doing things the bad mass is produced and re-used for roughly a decade, after which it can be recycled. The lithium in your EV battery will get used several thousand times in its first life, a few hundred more in a secondary application, and then recycled for who knows how many more uses.

So simply from a "consumed" vs. "re-used" basis the process of mining lithium (and cobalt etc) would have to be thousands and thousands of times worse than the process of drilling/extracting/refining oil just for them to break even.

It is good and important to recognize that simply replacing ICEs with EVs is closer to harm reduction than problem-solving, but it is a very very large harm reduction so statements like "electric cars aren't any better for the environment given all the mining" retard that harm reduction.
Flash Proxy: How to Bypass Internet Censorship Using Browser-Based Proxies
When I was a kid, I learned so much about programming by doing those kinds of "illegal" activities. When you are young you are reckless, adventurous, you want to cheat the system. My first introduction to programming was through a bot for a MMORPG too, which was used to harvest resources. I then started to build bot for mini games where you could win prizes if you had the highest score, and resold those prizes on second hand markets. I also learned about "hacking" because it felt cool and underground. I believe kids should be protected from the heavy legal repercussion you could have by doing those things, as long as the intent was curiosity and a lack of awareness of laws. Every thing is getting more protected/regulated and it has become so easy to ruin your parents life if you are a little bit too curious. I don't really know what the solution is, but I hope my kids will be able to experience like I did !
Sucks badly, when you're in the 0.6% group, though.

That said I was standing a number of times dumbfunded at the carousel after all bags were distributed.

Usually it was due to having been sent with an earlier flight, have fallen down (probably) on the way to the carousel, to then be delivered to my place of stay (arriving earlier than me) or something around those lines.

Really "lost" only happened once, which was on a BA flight connecting in Heathrow (of course). It was delivered the next day and sent from the airport by taxi.

Still, it sucks if you're part of a statistic and your luggage really gets lost. And it does happen.
> success rate of 99.4%.

So after 100 flights, your chances of never having had an issue with your bags is 0.994^100 = 0.547 aka coin toss.
Doesn't matter for the argument under discussion. If you look at the numbers, you'll see that Germany did reduce coal energy by 48TWh, which was essentially offset by increased biomass capabilities and some natural gas. So focussing on nuclear, you're left with a decrease by 84TWh offset by an increase of Wind energy by 95TWh and Solar by 46 TWh.
I find it baffling that Lisp is still written in text. It's pure AST, so it's easy visualize and manipulate it as a tree. Small trees (definitions of functions and data structures) are composed into big tree that forms application. Why not do all development work (reading/writing) on this tree directly? In my view the Lisp should be first candidate for visual programming.

Agreed, re-frame and its tooling is awesome. BTW is there any way to drop into REPL from context of event handler?

That’s a very compelling way of thinking of it. The batteries can be reused. And when super capacitors show up we won’t need as much in the way of heavy metals, no?
If you live in a hardcore capitalist country like the US all the automation money will go straight to the business owners pockets.

We keep talking about automation like it is _going_ to happen in the future, truth is it's happening for 40 years, if not more. In europe politicians were promising a 30 hours work week and retirement at 50 in the 70s, all of that thanks to automation, you don't need to be an expert in this field to know that it didn't turn out that way.

It's the traditional number at which to re-evaluate whether you'll need and/or feed someone, innit?

Along those lines, though, I can't help feeling that this result has got to be largely because of the increases in life expectancy rather than falling birth rate (although in some countries the latter is certainly a factor).
I recognise that different folks have had very different experiences of agile, lean, kanban and so on. Many of those experiences have sucked. I've had a few bad agile exeriences, usually "it means we never write docs" layered over an existing hack-and-patch culture.

But this is just straw-punching clickbait. And it had the intended effect: I'm annoyed.

> If things like Kanban and Agile actually worked

I have personal experience of them actually working. Multi mega SLOC distributed systems with dozens of teams working for several companies on multiple continents.

So as you might imagine, I somewhat resent being painted as an accomplice to hucksters.
Seems interesting, but apparently the layout is hardcoded to use WASD, which doesn't go well with AZERTY keyboards.
> If you are saying that the total cost of the Iraq war should be rolled into the cost of plastic widgets, I think you are very wrong.

I am saying that. I'm also saying the cost of the lifecycle of plastic production and recycling/disposal, including environmental cost (which we have plenty of proxies for these days in terms of representing using economic metrics) should be rolled in.

(and yes, the same goes for aluminium: it too has ancillary costs to consider)

> I don't know many people having or even considering children under the age of 30.

We now value professional careers above everything else. You can't have kids and be competitive anymore. Half of the people I know who have kids basically delegates everything to caretakers, they see them 30 min in the morning, and 30 min when they get back to work and kiss them goodnight.

Instead of telling men to slow down and take care of their kids we tell women to forget about kids and follow men in their insane quest for professional conquests. Sprinkle a bit of consumerism over that and it's game over, kids are too expensive, why would people do that instead of buying a nice car, the new $2k smartphone or a trip to Venice to flex on instagram for imaginary internet points.

I'm also inclined to believe that the hookup culture plays a huge role in the trend, why would you want to settle down when you have a virtually limitless pool of potentially better mates available at the tips of your fingers. Newer generations are afraid of commitment and responsibilities, having kids in your early 20s is more stigmatised than having a one night stand every other night until you're 40.

Nope. We have always been at war with Eurasia. Move along citizen.
Oil-the-chemical and oil-the-fuel can be considered seperate products. Demand-wise, all uses besides fuel are trivial. Even plastic is only 4%. The spritz of 10W-40 on my bike chain is of 0 consequence compared to the gallon of gas burned in a typical daily commute by car. We're never going to run out of oil for all those important non-fuel uses. Even if every oil well ran dry tomorrow, oil-the-chemical is quite easy to make from carbon waste feedstock.

I don't think it's right to estimate such a long time for oil to become obsolete as a fuel, just because we use it for other things too.
You forgot to bundle “solution to corporate greed” along with the other things you say we’re going to need. Today’s keepers of “automation, robotics, AI, and related productivity enhancements” are for-profit corporations who are beholden to their managers and shareholders. It’s those two groups who act as beneficiaries of the soils; certainly not public pension funds.

I find it rather naive to expect a causal link to materialize between corporate profits attributable to automation and solvency of government pension schemes. Corporations certainly wouldn’t do anything to help humans out of the goodness of their heart.
How are young developers trained to cybersecurity?
Hi all,
I'm making a thesis for my engineering school and I would like to ask some questions for new developers who just entered the market.

Where did you study and how long was the formation ?

Did your formation provided you with cybersecurity training ?

And if yes, which aspects ?

And finally do you apply those in your current job ?

Optional: your age and location ?

Thanks for your responses !

Because there is little downside to failure. People say they will never fly with that airline again but most do, especially if its cheaper...

British Airways have fairly conclusively proved that ignoring complaints doesn't really cost them in the end... When the Heathrow baggage system collapsed BA just sold off the backlog as lost property, too hard to try and reunite bags.
I wouldn't be so sure of this. Usually when you go to a luggage shop here they only carry one of each models and refill them every now and then.
This is what I don't understand. Why not hire 100 great game developers, give them $2 million each over 4 years, and have them develop Portal 3?

We know it would sell well. What about Left 4 Dead 3? Once again, it would be an instant hit. Even if Valve develops a game that breaks even, it helps to strengthen Steam as a whole and those users go on to make purchases elsewhere on their platform.

How much money did they lose because someone else developed Fortnite? How many users started buying games at Epic instead of Steam because their first jump into PC gaming was with Fortnite at the Epic store?
Mozilla uses the Disconnect lists. uBlock has larger lists that include the majority of ads not just trackers, but they do cover trackers as well of course.
Firefox splits the functionality of Chrome profiles into two different things:

Profiles contain all your settings, history, bookmarks, themes, sync settings, etc. They’re stored in a folder on disk. It’s kinda a hassle to switch between them.

Containers isolate cookies (and other stuff?) within a single tab or group of tabs. It lets you run a specific website or set of websites in isolation from your other browsing activity. This has security benefits, but is also great for logging into the same service with multiple accounts simultaneously.

I was initially annoyed by Firefox profiles because they’re clunkier than Chrome accounts, but was very happy when I figured out that Firefox Containers gave me the isolation benefits I was actually looking for, with some real improvements over Chrome.

I had some interest in that topic a few months ago, but still have some rather general questions. The idea sounds great, but it is hard to tell how helpful it is for the environment without doing some sort of a life-cycle assessment of the entire process. Question such as how sustainable is it if we need three cactus leaf to make one sheet.

Also, asking if someone might be able to answer or to point me where to read more. Is there a link between making plastic from plants and the plastic property of being non-toxic and/or biodegradable? Some plants are toxic, I would suppose this leads to toxic plastic. Same for biodegradability, how do we know the process of making plastic using plants (naturally biodegradable) plus other "things" leads to a plastic that is biodegradable?
Holy crap. Of course the usage in 1995 would be super low. That’s around the first time I used the Internet. It was a vast ecosystem to my young eyes. So the number makes complete sense but still shocking to me. I’m guessing by Napster peak time the number was relatively much bigger.
The frustrating thing to me is that this guy will get this solved and we’ll all move on. He’s reasonably well known and had enough Twitter juice to get attention. All the small people who end up in this situation, whatever it truly is, without those resources will remain screwed.
We've also seen low tax rates for most of the rich countries for the last 20/30 years, meaning they could save more and retire earlier, while underfunding pensions and infrastructure for future generations.

It's not just the government's fault, it's short-term thinking by both the government and the voters. Tax rises became anathema in the UK, even for socialist governments like Tony Blair/Gordon Brown.

My parents and other retired people I know feel they've earnt their retirement, when they really haven't. And will be one of the few generations out of the preceding and following to have this sort of luxury of sitting around for a couple of decades doing effectively nothing. Whether it be the rather middle class cruises, golf days, spas, etc. or sitting down the pub or going to bingo or pottering around gardening or sunning it up in Spain or whatever.

They say things like "I worked hard for 35/40 years", I say "So what? The following generations will have to work 50, 55 or even 60 just to pay for the fact you worked 35/40".

At least until automation/robots/AI whatever free humans from work, if it ever happens.

Then again, being in the industry that I am, and most of us are, I will also probably be one of the lucky ones.

I think you may have misinterpreted my post: I think we agree.

It would take an almost impossible effort (I'm not optimistic) on the part of industry. The only point I was rebutting is that our day-to-day consumer needs could not be met without plastic without significant lifestyle change by private individuals. I don't believe that this is true.

But yes, the change required on an holistic level is pretty much insurmountable.
Reminds me of Neil deGrasse Tyson's comments on the "intelligence gap".

Could this be accomplished by using devices that monitor patients vital signs and report the data back to the nurses station? Then spot checks would not really be needed.

I wonder what the statistics look like for first class vs coach.
That doesn't make sense to me. You pay for the time you have the droplets running, so it seems kind of silly to have them sit idle for a bit before you give them work to do.
A lot of people seem to be saying "baseload" when they mean "peak". That's the benefit of the international links - countries not having their peak consumption at the same time of day can average it out between each other.

> It’d be one thing if it was a scam, but poor execution, maybe let that go?

Poor execution is a form of scam to your customer. A promise unfulfilled, a delivery timeline slipped, an untruthful representation of the product and a fake review. They're all forms of what not to do.

Maybe it's not that you see this as me grinding an axe, but rehashing your failure and you have a far different perspective and sensitivity to addressing it. From PEP 20: "Errors should never pass silently." Maybe let's not bury the failures and show that those who are successful approach it in that manner.

NAT traversal is possible if you happen to be in control of the machines behind the NAT --- that's not very relevant here, since it requires running a special server on the machine you want to exploit (and if you can already do that, i.e. run code on the machine, then there's no point in exploiting RDP...)

The scenario I'm referring to, and the one the article describes, is a remote attacker trying to connect to port 3389 of a machine behind a NAT --- without being able to already access the machine in the first place. In other words: you have a public IP X; there's a machine with private IP Y (which you don't know but may be able to guess easily) behind its NAT. No ports are forwarded. You have no access to the machine. How do you establish a connection to port 3389 (or for that matter, any other listening port) on it?
Concept of Centrality in Graphs
This is a good point. But electricity is still largely produced by fossil fuels. So if one is selling an efficient (30+ mpg) ICE car that they own to buy a new EV, the math may make less sense. At least for the short to medium term, anyway.
