Wow, this is great! I don't do a lot of remote support, aside from immediate family, but I don't remember settings by name -- especially for an older OS I no longer use -- so this is a great resource.

So often I've had a frustrating conversation like "Okay, do you see something that says 'wifi' or 'ethernet'? Hm, ok, no go back.. is there another button that says 'Network' or 'Adapter settings' or something like that on the screen?".

I like that Lenovo has this resource too (and exposes it publicly), and really every manufacturer should, but I honestly can't think of a time I've ever had to remotely fix a system by changing something in BIOS. It's pretty rare to change a setting there in the first place, aside from when you're doing the initial build or major hardware changes. If you were providing remote support to the people doing the hardware changes, though, this would be invaluable.
Ask HN: How do I find an apprentice?
Anyone know of a marketplace or something where I could find an “apprentice” developer?

This would be someone junior (maybe just out of code school) that I could pay hourly to gain more practical experience working with me (a dev with over a decade of experience) by working on side projects, open source, etc? The apprentice could even be working full time already and just wants some deeper mentorship or diverse experience.

This would be similar to an intern but paid directly by me (an individual) and closer interaction —heavy on pair programming but also some individual work.

The goal of the apprentice should be to learn more about the art of writing code —which I think of much like a trade. And on my end the goal would be to give back to the community as well as get an extra set of hands.

I know apprenticeships exist in other trades, and in the music industry. Curious if anyone had tried to do them in the programming world.

Sorry if there is any bad spelling. This was typed on mobile and spelling is not my forte.
The main concern here is not "Computrace is tracking you", but "Computrace may be exploited". Basically, if Computraced is activated, it will actively attempt to inject its payload into Windows via BIOS to achieve persistence even after an OS reinstallation - like a rootkit. If a vulnerability allows an attacker to somehow control this process, nobody knows how far the attacker can go...

If you find yourself zooming in to new websites more often than not, it's possible to set the default zoom level in firefox. In about:config, set "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" to the decimal zoom level you want. It will also grow the UI scale but you can reduce that by setting it to "compact" mode in the Customise menu.

> Doubt ripgrep it will beat indexing, line GNU id-utils. (mkid to build ID file, lid to query).

Does it provide the same user experience? i.e., Does it keep the index up to date for you automatically? If so, that's something a lot of users aren't willing to pay for.

If you want a pre-indexed solution, I'd recommend checking out qgrep instead: https://zeux.io/2019/04/20/qgrep-internals/

> If you're using git, "git grep" is useful; it searches only files indexed in git, which provides a useful speedup.

Depends on what you're searching. In a checkout of the Linux kernel:

$ time LC_ALL=C git grep -E '[A-Z]+_SUSPEND' | wc -l

This is even despite the fact that `git grep` already has a file index (ripgrep
has to process the >200 `.gitignore` files in the Linux repo for every search)
and the fact that `git grep` is also using parallelism.

> Honestly I don't really have a judgment on someone say, freebasing meth, that's their freedom.

If that were all they were doing, and staying inside, that'd be one thing - but it generally ends up going far beyond this, at least here in the United States.

Such people through those actions, of using major hard drugs, are generally at a point where they don't care what happens to them, or their bodies. They then eventually go out in the public; when they aren't bothering anybody, their antics can be entertaining at best, and downright tragic at worst.

When they do go to bother somebody - and they will, and do - they generally won't leave you alone. In some situations, they can get extremely violent. Also, regardless of whether they are violent or not, depending on their level of usage and other factors, they may literally look - and sometimes are - "the walking dead". Coughing, spitting, seeping and oozing open sores - this and more can be found among these poor souls. One hopes they can find help, but more often than not they refuse it when offered (some will even claim to be healthy and sound, despite the reality).

Eventually some turn to random violence or other crime, quite often breaking and entering locked vehicles and homes, stealing whatever isn't nailed down (and quite often stuff that seemingly is - not even rooftop mounted air conditioning units are safe).

I'm normally all for "freedom of choice" - that one's body is sacrosanct and should be up to the owner what can and should be done with it. But some of these drugs have shown that, when abused, they can lead to worse outcomes for the public at large. Part of it does have to do with the illegality of the drug, and it's availability. Maybe if such drugs were legal and free, and shelters or other places available to use of the drugs (with appropriate medical or other staff to ensure abuse doesn't occur, or that people can get help or treatment as needed or desired) - such outcomes would be different or non-existent.

As it is here in the United States, though, at a certain point users of these drugs become a problem for society and its safety at large; they should have freedom - but not the kind of freedom that allows harm to others.

(Fennel:) in which a compiler gets its wings
Having switched to a&a at work recently, they seem to be operating several levels above the more mainstream business DSL providers we've used.

Their control panel is incredibly functional – containing detailed logs of pretty much everything. They also provide a lot of more technical line control options that you'd otherwise have to phone up and convince somebody to get changed.

We haven't had the pleasure of needing to phone them up yet, but from what I've read about them they're a technically very capable team.
A while ago I made a demo of a P2P chat application that runs on the beaker browser and uses the experimental P2P APIs. It's running at dat://feathers-chat.hashbase.io (slides from the talk at https://vanjs-decentralized.hashbase.io). If the peers can see each other you should be able to register with any email address and send chat messages between browser instances.

What I realized is that this technology ticks a lot of the boxes of what we right now think only the big cloud providers can do. By using a more decentralized protocol it is by design

- Actually Serverless

- Offline-first

- Real-time

- Auto-deploying

- Live-updating

- 100% uptime

I really think there is something there from both, a developer and user experience perspective. The problem is that a lot of it is still very experimental and far from the usability and maturity of e.g. a Firebase or Heroku.

> e.g. The Tale of Two Ships [1]

Thanks, that's quite a story!

> I don't really like that it's fluid fuel though.

I have some misgivings about this as well. A water-soluble fuel salt in a thin-skinned (compared to a high pressure LWR) vessel on a ship, what could possibly go wrong?

(I'm a fan of MSR's and I'd love to see them deployed, but I'd prefer them on dry land thank-you-very-much)

> As I said in another comment, the unknown remote maintenance implications of that are very far from hashed out, and will very likely be terribly expensive for a fairly long shakedown/learning period. Fluid fuel is a good end goal. But don't get me talking about fluid fuel in a near-term first-of-a-kind plant with a low-ball operation/maintenance cost estimate.

Agreed, but IIUC Thorcon, similarly to Terrestrial, are planning to replace the entire reactor vessel with the primary circuit every few years (5/7/?). So AFAIK the plan is not to do any maintenance of the reactor vessel. Guess you have to hope one of the primary pumps doesn't need a new bearing 1 month after commissioning, then, eh?

> I just wish they'd try a small light-water reactor with their shipyard construction experience first and take it from there.

Yes, though it seems passively safe LWR's are quite massive. Nuscale reactor vessel is a frickin' 700 tons for a paltry 60 MWe. Thorcon reactor is 250 MWe (or is it 500, their materials are somewhat confusing?). Would a passively safe 250 MWe LWR fit on a ship, along with a pressure dome to handle a LOCA?
From a tech point of view, you're probably right. But one of the biggest things holding back nuclear energy is public perception and politics. Maybe the biggest thing.

If you can say "prevents the type of accident that happened at Fukushima", those could be powerful words. Fear is often not rational, and it's human nature to be acutely fearful of things you have seen happen (even if they aren't actually larger risks). Even if the actual safety impact is small, something that hits directly at the thing people are worried about could have a large impact on the political reality.

Yes, it's inefficient to have to placate people who don't know a lot about it, but if nuclear is to succeed, we have to realize that the majority of people are never going to understand the risks in depth. It seems worthwhile to spend some resources just to make it so "nuclear" is less of a scary word.
That was my point. It’s not obvious to the reader that this is better since it’s a non-standard way of resolving promises. But it looks neat. I’ve never seen it, what library do you have experience with that does it this way?
While I appreciate that it's the default now (utf8mb4)... If someone specified (by error) "utf8" as the collation, is that real utf8 or some other implementation currently?
No, this is nonsense.

The IWF blocks are completely separate (and use a different mechanism) to the court ordered piracy blocks.

The court ordered piracy blocks only apply to the "big 6" ISPs. A&A doesn't have to comply because they're an insignificant ISP with very few customers.

The real problem then, is that corporations have unchecked power. No one acting behind them is personally liable for their illegal behavior.

Corporations can't go to jail. They only pay fines that are a fraction of their profits from the illegal behavior, which is a mathematical incentive for them to break the law before their competitors.

Even in silicon valley, we laud AirBNB, Uber, Facebook, Google, et al.

Do you want corporations to be better or not care?

The only thing I’m familiar with is using BCG vaccine vs. Superficial bladder cancer. And that is an immuno therapy. A PTEN mutation allows mycobacterium to enter cancer cells preferentially, and then invites an immune response that the cancer cells themselves had evaded. PTEN is a common mutation and bladder cancer, but is not seen in healthy bladder urothelium.

Edit: I should have read the article before commenting. The virus in the article also does not attack the bladder cancer, it has exactly the same mechanism as BCG. Although hopefully it is reliant on a different targeting mechanism than the PTEN mutation.
Yeah same here- it reminds me a lot of "the old days" of the internet where you just stumbled across cool things from sites with lists of links and no real decent search engine or e-commerce going on.

There is some interesting stuff people are playing with in Dat - e.g. their Twitter clone (1) has the actual posts distributed in what they are calling their WebDB. I.e. you as an individual publish posts at a dat:// address you control, and the central site just references that address when other users load the feed. Your posts are distributed across the other users so there is no SPOF.

There is the kernel of something really interesting there in this GDPR-world where people need to be more aware of who has their data, and what can be done to control that.

Interesting stuff.

It's both. Legally, child sexual abuse is considered so vile a practice that it's addressed on both supply side and demand side. Criminalizing possession and handling of such recordings is an attempt at reducing demand. It's not a complete solution, but no real world is really solved by a single thing.

Banning video cameras obviously isn't happening, because they're too useful for other things. But if, hypothetically, a company sold cameras magically limited to only recording children, and such cameras would become popular among child pornographers, then you could expect calls for a legal ban on the grounds that denying a few companies the ability to fleece people through market segmentation doesn't outweigh making life more difficult for the child pornographers.

thanks for the guide! I've sorta been avoiding dipping my toes into deps.edn. Maybe I missed it, but this doesn't really seem to illustrate any advantage over lein

now you have to hunt down extensions/plugins to do testing and make uberjars, cobble it all together yourself and then hope they remain maintained going forward

what's the benefit? you can make wacky nonstandard directory layouts? I feel like I'm missing the motivation or maybe my problems are too simple. that said it does seem like a nice low level tool (ie. maybe lein could be implemented in terms of deps.edn)
This is not entirely true - many are of the same "generation" as me. To be clear, I don't actually consider myself an advanced user. To me, many of these advanced users are pushing against the limits of the language in a way you don't see with run of the mill data science.

Feels like we've jumped the shark a bit, from talking about a free and open global Internet to talking about Vandals wanting to conquer our tribe?

Obviously, we should keep people out that want to end our way of life, but that isn't where this conversation should be going.

And so to bring it back around, I can understand the nostalgia but I think wishing that the "rest" of the world would stop messing up "our" internet is a terrible thing to wish.

>> The problem with norms: bad actors don't care about them.

This is a very important observation. The world most of us want is one influenced by norms we work together to define & change over time. Some see this as an opportunity to exploit for personal gain and we eventually get imperfect regulation that tries to reflect what we originally intended, or worse, is enacted by the same bad actors to coerce the bad behaviours we resisted in the first place.

I see this all the time in growing companies:

1. culture dictates expected behaviour

2. company grows

3. culture weakens

4. norms get violated (intentionally or not)

5. process gets decreed to address transgressions

6. everyone looses the shared benefit/responsibility of autonomy

7. GOTO 1
