More than likely the SCADA systems themselves were fine, but the PCs for managing those systems were AD joined and people couldn't login to actually run the management software.

Its very common in custom hardware setups to have a standing system that interfaces with the physical hardware and PLC and then the user friendly software for instructing that controller on what you want to be on a PC talking to it over serial or the network. Obviously if the computer is inaccessible you can't adjust settings, but the system continues to run fine.

In my case: when you move to a new role in the same company and you realize 3 months later that your manager is terrible, you start making comparisons with your previous manager and you find a long list of differences, the plus parts on your previous managers are all signs.
The signs for me are:
- I feel free to do anything I believe it is good for my company and my manager fully supports me after I prove I did the right thing over and over
- my manager cares about me (this can be in different forms; my manager traveled half of the world just to have a couple of days of face 2 face talks; he is not the kind of guy to travel a lot)
- my manager has a plan, a vision, that he articulates, we all know it and we all have input in it, so we all feel we own it
- my manager takes (calculated) risks more often that others
- my manager is trustworthy
- my manager talks straight
- I can call my manager at any time and tell him I don't agree with any of his decisions, he will listen and he can easily be convinced if he was really wrong (it happened usually when he did take decisions based on incomplete information)
- I can call my manager any time and he will find the time to talk to me; he knows that if I tell him "we need to talk now" then it is something important enough to talk right now

I find a common error when reading technical books is to focus on understanding everything deeply the first pass and going through all the exercises. In my experience this quickly leads to burn out and you give up on a book half way through.

Don't get me wrong, doing the exercises is important and (perhaps) essential for learning a subject, but the key is not to burn out too quickly. Very often some of the best and most important material is in the latter part of a technical book. So I recommend reading them like technical papers: in multiple passes. If you at least superficially read through the book cover to cover at the very least you'll have a map of the territory. Additionally, it's often the case that more advanced topics in a book give you insight into why the early topics are truly so important.

And while exercises are good, you'll learn even faster if you find a practical problem you want to solve related to the material. Most people on HN will say that you must do all the exercises or you can't possibly learn. But I've found the best tactic is to read a technical book until you hit something that scratches a personal itch. For example, maybe you'll be reading a book on deep learning and then late in the book come across a section on latent factors, a problem that you're interested in and didn't know about. Even though you skimmed most of the book until this point, if you want to implement this model you have to go back and really learn all of the pieces you need to build what you want.

What if you never find anything that really clicks with you? Then you're probably better off just skimming the book for now. The key part of that is "for now". Suppose you read through a stats book and nothing piques your interest, but you come across the idea that there is some way to run a test such that you control for variance between two groups. We'll perhaps in 5 years you'll come across a problem that requires you to do just this! Because you skimmed the book you'll at least know "statistics has a solution to this problem!" Then you can go back and really learn how this solution works.

Personally I recommend against doing every exercise in a book until you need to understand that material to solve a larger, more practical problem. The best way to learn anything technical is to solve a problem with it, but you can't solve a problem with a technique if you don't even know the technique exists, so keep reading!

Anecdata, but this year in my corner of England bees have been pretty subdued.

My house suffers from solitary mason bees abusing my lack of care for brickwork to enter my bathroom, where they typically then die by the dozen every week in spring/summer (the glass window misleads them towards a nonexistent way out). This year I don’t find anything like the “daily cadaver on windowsill” that I’m used to.

I also don’t see them around the garden as much as before. Definitely not my fault though, my lack of care for the garden is legendary.

I know bees have had a bit of a resurgence in England as a whole, though, so maybe it’s just my area.
I recently experience a great manager after 11years working as freelancer and employee and I have seen a broad range of great and deeply disturbing managers.

What I learn is that Without looking to much on how your manager work or does for you and your team,you have to see how are you improving in your skills and trade because of him. The best managers I work for made me a better professional and mindful about my own skills.

There are so many styles and ways to lead people, at the end the thing to look is how a manager made you a better professional and a better team member, and finally what you improve because of them
We just use the company wiki. We are thinking of moving that data to the service GitHub repo instead to keep the data more local. It is easy to forget to update documentation all ready, might as well reduce the places you have to update.

Ideally all alerts are either self-evident or link to proper remediation steps to attempt when auto-remediation is not available. The new person on the team should have enough info to do basic triage at 3am at the very least given a decent runbook/alert documentation.
Is this not the same as all the 'living far above your means' things? People want to appear more successful than they really are to others? Buying a bigger house, bigger car, bigger wedding, bigger vacations and then showing those off at parties. And the wedding is the biggest showing off as you invite 1000 of your closest personal acquaintances to show how you made it in life.

The way I see it, if they're able to trigger a reset routine from a series of on-off signals, they can trigger any code path from it.

A base configuration wipe or code overwrite could just as easily be a call to a separate code process/stack that runs completely isolated from all configuration values and supports the primitive commands that you'd need anyway to configure the device to a deterministic state for your use case, or update the firmware, etc. If you're able to configure the device in the first place, you're able to trigger it again since nothing on that code path ever changes, has persistent state, or reads configuration values.

Yes, absolutely. They are pests.

Moreover, I don't know if you have ever been deep-sea fishing, but when you pull a fish up from a hundred-plus yards underwater quickly, they tend to not survive if you do toss them back - quite often the pressure differential blows their lungs right out their mouths, and if not, they usually get scooped up by the blue sharks that also dog behind fishing boats.
i want neither ads or paying. i'd like to see everyone with their own website. peer-to-peer can handle a lot like video, as well as a decentralized news feed, and a new type of web-ring, adding each other's websites instead of adding fb friends. it's easy to set up free hosting for someone's website, and to supply a free domain, even if a subdomain off another person's site. there are ways.
Or just read reviews if you don't actually care about the book. The leading news papers and literary journals all publish reviews of most books.

As an alternative perspective... while the RFCs are great, it's taken me weeks (maybe months now) to hack together a not-yet-functional TCP/IP stack. I've never dug below the application layer before. I'm still working through it. I cannot even say if the RFCs are sufficient, but I'll take your word.
Depending on where you live, seeding your lawn with white clover is a low-cost and low-maintenance way to provide food for local bees.
Like many of the other people to reply, I can only say that here in Helsinki the local council operates a scheme which is very very popular.

It costs €30 for a "season", and that gives you 30-minutes free ride from the bicycles you'll find all over the place in their stands. You can pay a small fee to get more time, or you can do what most people do which is to ride to a stand, and swap your bike for another.

The only problem with the scheme is that it only runs around the summer, but I guess fewer people are interested in cycling in the snow/ice-heavy part of the year.

> The author of the article fundamentally misconstrues what fiction is.

Which, I believe, is the point the parent comment was making. They don’t seem to be advocating a read of the abbreviated version in general, just to the author of the post seeing as they seem to put fiction’s value on the idea.
We need to head off a future in which bee populations are so substantially reduced that we end up in a situation, such as exists in parts of China, where hand pollination is the only option [0].

https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global-snow/201902

NOAA indicates that the global ice levels are increasing, and ice is growing in areas that previously did not host such a large amount of ice before, ie, the ice is moving to new locations as the climate changes.

This is mostly related to the increase in variability of NAM and SAM (as in, the increasing change of the jet streams from their usual positions) due to decreased solar heating of the Earth.

https://www.nasa.gov/feature/ames/solar-activity-forecast-fo...

NASA has predicted that the solar cycle starting this year, or the next cycle, is highly likely starting another grand minimum and will last for at least the next few cycles; this is the lowest activity in 200 years (or since the previous grand minimum).

The previous grand minimum was the Dalton minimum, and lasted from 1790 to 1820, and lasted 30 years, and was considered mild based on what we know of previous grand minimums. During the Dalton minimum, the "Little Ice Age" occurred, which lead to massive crop losses in Europe and North America, including unusually long and wet springs that delayed the planting season (just like this year).

So, I'm going to consider this Guardian article at least partially debunked. Although this is a disaster for the Himalayan region, NOAA and NASA's interpretation of the data does not favor the rather opinionated and biased language in the article.
So apart from all the other stuff mentioned in the thread, there is one more thing now. According to the docs, it is supposed to be released in july. But you already have it showcased in the home page since months. Wow!

Housing costs aren’t insane in the commuter belt if you have a decent job in London. Most people working in London don’t live in London. Good job in London, house in the South East, commute by train, still looks better to a lot of people than poor job in a rural area of the North or Wales and getting a less good house.

Of course there are some professions where the equation works the other way - medicine being one obvious example.

I'm gonna jump in here too and ask; why are you doing all this to yourself?

I'm reading the comments, clicking the links to GH issues, reading websites and blogs and comments and you seem to have a following. A loyal one. A vested one. Sure there are detractors, but if you step back and look; all your detractors are fueled either by your inaction, or your lack of transparency. All your supporters trust you, which is what you want. So all you have to do to take the wind out of the sails of your detractors is come clean, stop setting arbitrary forcasts mere hours into the future (pointless, sloppy, rude to your paying supporters), and just be straight. People paid hundreds of dollars for vlang. Do you think they care if there are a few hacks holding it together? They WANT to help you with this, and you claim to "want" their help and support.... SO LISTEN TO THEM!

There are hundreds of comments in this thread (many of which from shills and throwaways) that you could chop off at the knees by simply not jerking everyone around. Do yourself, and vlang, a favor and either embrace open-source (and all that entails) or don't. Just do something to stop all the drama. I haven't been able to learn ANYTHING about vlang (and I don't know if I want to) because of all this bullshit.
It makes me sad that between your and the parent comment we take 100, 500 and 1000 to be a lot of books to have read in a lifetime.

I had forgotten the Touchbar was possibly to get life on the magic keyboard. I agree if this was to happen, it should have been bundled with the Mac Pro.

Mattermost CEO here,

We looked at a lot of different models and ended up with a "buyer-based open core" model.

The first "buyer" in this model is the user of our open source product that doesn't cost any money, because it's open source.

It's typically a developer, or someone very close to a development team and they self-host Mattermost as an open source Slack-alternative and get a lot of value out of the product.

At some point the development team doesn't want to host Mattermost themselves any more and asks the IT organization to host it in a data center or on a private cloud.

The IT team is a different "buyer" who wants features that make the lives of IT administration easier--account sync with AD/LDAP, SSO, eDiscovery, high availability, etc.--and we have an enterprise edition for that buyer and offer a fair price.

That's how we've been generating revenue so far.
There are people who hate the key feel too. I think it's people who type more forcefully; the new keyboards have a nice clicky feel with a low travel distance, but they require a light touch or you're basically slamming your fingers into a solid object.

I don't know why people type like that, but they do. I wonder if there's any correlation with people who stomp their feet when they walk. It's like they never picked up on the fact that you can dial back your own movement's impact instead of just smashing into stuff and letting it stop you.

My approach to fiction is different from the author's, but there is a point where we agree: taking notes on books greatly improves the experience.

Before and during college I read a fair amount of fiction. Most of it I enjoyed in the moment, and sometimes I even experienced those deep-truth-feeling "whoa" moments. But even then they faded from memory within a few months. Eventually, I'd recommend the book to somebody but, when pressed for a reason why, struggle to produce much beyond "oh, it's just...really good...". This bothered me. If that book was so damn good, why couldn't I articulate even some of that goodness?

Solution: now when I read a book, I keep a written list on the bookmark of page numbers for quotes I like. After I finish the book -- or decide to stop reading it -- I go back and type those quotes up in a Google doc. An OK book might have one or two, a book that "speaks to me" might have 20. Even if the book is amazing, a dozen quotes usually provides a reasonable-enough sketch to jog my memory. Finally, I write a few paragraphs of thoughts about the book.

This sounds a little tedious, but keeping the list as you go is pretty easy. Typing up the quotes and writing some thoughts might take a half hour. And it seriously improves retention of why I liked or disliked the thing and makes the reading process more participatory. Now, when I recommend a book to someone, I can usually call back some of my notes and form a coherent reason. I'm also more likely to run into a situation and realize "oh, very smart author x wrote an illuminating paragraph about this in book y that makes a point way better than I could, let me ctrl-f my Google doc and fish that out". And this doubles by deepening my appreciation of what I've read.

It's like keeping a journal: stepping back, collecting thoughts, and analyzing can be a lot of reward for comparatively small investment, especially next to the amount of time reading the book probably took.

It's a failing of the American condition. The country was founded by radical conspiracy theorist farmers that didn't want to pay taxes. Distrusting government is in our national ethos. It pervades to this day in the form of governments generally being staffed with people too incompetent for private sectors. The pay sucks. It's hard to get raises. It's hard to do anything because Americans hate taxes; they'll help their neighbors, but they won't help those they can't see beyond their porch. There's little personal incentive to work in local/state governments. And that's partly how we end up with events like this.

Have you looked at the CVE stats of the last decade recently? Memory errors make up around 3/4 of that. Even if Rust would make the last quartile harder (which in my experience it doesn't), it could still be worth it for many applications where you cannot afford full verification, but want to avoid your users being pwned.
Yes it does actually work. The easiest way to intentionally trigger memory errors is overclocking.

While I do (mostly) agree with this article, it fails to mention the #1 reason why I never used it. I couldn't post something on someone else's page. I could post something to my "feed" and they could happen to see it. But I couldn't post something into their "feed" (wall, timeline) where all their friends could see it and then comment on it.

It was more like Twitter than Facebook. Maybe I'm wrong, but too me they were marketing "Twitter with pictures" as "Facebook", and they fell short.
