> especially if you take into consideration Steam's Big Picture mode and that it needs to be usable with a controller (though perhaps the Steam Controller can also function as a regular desktop mouse, assuming it doesn't rely on Steam itself to move the cursor around - which may not work when the UAC prompt is shown - and on the other hand some older games do need to run as Administrator and/or a compatibility mode that shows a UAC prompt, so perhaps SC can work with that).

The Steam Controller has a "lizard mode" for when it can't connect to Steam where it just acts as a dumb mouse. I have no idea whether it enables that for UAC prompts, but it probably could.
Yes I meant more with government regulations, and as someone else mentioned having a backup plan for when there are technical difficulties.

The solution proposed (fine the product manufacturer) is a response to the difficulty of identifying those behind robocalling/telemarketing.

That same difficulty would arise when trying to identify those abusing the process in the way I described.
Steam allows you to stream games from other network PCs. I found it interesting that you could stream games and sometimes glitch out of the game but still keep full control of the desktop. Odd, because steam makes a wonderful RDP-like client. Concerning, because i never entered my password for that computer.

I turned off remote streaming after that happened. Author of this paper is right for disclosing
Heh on my HN client for Android (Material) I never could open TechCrunch articles with the built-in browser. I gave up on using the built-in browser as a result. I wouldnt outright ban TechCrunch but I agree it can be entirelt unusable.

Sidenote: Wondering if anybody outside of Google offers an embedded browser component for Android like Mozilla and co. They might be able to provide a better experience.

> Real fgrep does not implement -r

That's BS. The fgrep on my system – GNU grep 3.1 – provides recursive search (-r). What now, are you claiming that's not "real fgrep"? [1]

> that would be implementing tools within tools, which is against the UNIX®️ philosophy

Even more BS. Or are you telling me that "rm -r" is also against the "UNIX philosophy"?

> /usr/bin/find . -depth -type f -print | /usr/bin/xargs -i /usr/bin/fgrep string '{}'

Terrible, terrible advice. Cumbersome, error-prone, and slow as molasses. A quick test: Searching for 'asdfadsgf' in the Linux kernel repository takes 0.25 s using rg, 12 s using GNU fgrep -f, and 228 s (!) using your command.

You know, when your ideology results in the worst results of all, you should really reconsider your ideology.

Well, look who’s afraid for their job to be taken by someone else.

I believe we have plenty of examples today of “we can’t fire this employee because a few years ago we made a mistake of that hire and now they are the only ones who know how that pile of shit works”.

At least with theorem provers the transparent knowledge of the broken systems can be formalized.
This article seems focused on doing no harm "to code". To a degree, it's ridiculous. I feel like the bigger problem is how when I look at job postings for software developers they seem to be postings of jobs which contribute negatively to the welfare of the society. Google, Facebook and the like being so widely sought after by software developers just to wash our brains with ads and track us, millions of financial companies/banks working hard to drive the economy down for the benefit of stakeholders. Finding a company which doesn't have a net negative impact is hard, finding one that has a positive one is even harder. It's not like that just for software developers, sure, but it's still clear that it's a serious problem for us.

And this part:

> Loss of control, loss of intellectual property, unsatisfactory performance, hidden costs, and hard-to-obtain legal remedies are the harm that can occur when things go wrong when projects are outsourced.

Yes, it would be a real tragedy if intellectual property (sic!) was violated. Also, suggesting that someone from outside the US is more likely to give you unsatisfactory performance is simply racist.
Tax air travel proportional to its negative externalities - you can start by taxing the fuel like we have to for cars - and suddenly the price difference becomes well worth spending a few more hours in relative comfort.

When people say 'Linux' in reference to WSL1, it's a Linux Kernel API emulation layer on top of the Windows kernel that ships with Windows. The user-mode stuff on top of that is regular Ubuntu or whatever, but you can argue that Wine is running on Windows, it's just speaking the Linux system call language and using some user-space linux libraries instead of win32 libraries.

I believe they still check IDs at the gate, even for internal flights. (I am pretty sure they checked my ID the last time I did one) - It is not an passport check, just an ID check at the gate to match person to ticket (as the security in UK airport just check boarding passes, not IDs)
I suspect they never had to pay for the capital investment (because it was built or subsidised by the government).

No taxes on fuel isn’t a subsidy, there’s a natural race to the bottom on fuel prices because airlines can easily put more fuel in in a cheaper country.

Meanwhile, in Germany and France nearly 30% of the total cost of rail service is directly covered by the government, and it’s still more expensive than flying.
[Controversial post]

This is what happens when you treat "IT" as a cost centre and outsource it to India with TCS, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, Accenture etc. In the case of BA; its Tata Consultancy Service (TCS).

I can't comment on outsourcing to Phillipines, Ukraine or Malaysia.

I've worked with two companies that did their outsourcing to India and it was a shitshow.

First and foremost there is the cultural barrier, sure India is a very Anglicized country but it has so many localised languages (Malalayam, Telugu, Tamil etc.) and cultures that means communication between one IT centre in Bangalore is very different to one in Chennai or Pune.
+ Compounded with the fact that outsourcing companies distribute the work between IT centres in different regions, it can be hard communicating and organising work.

Secondly, there are brilliant Devs/Testers/Analysts in India but they move around a lot because the pay is so terrible. Therefore a lot of undocumented knowledge gets lost which inevitably causes problems when doing maintenance or solving outages. One week you are working with a brilliant person, the next week they are gone.

Thirdly, the sales people at many outsourcing companies are brilliant. They promise the world, then for the first three months keep the clients happy. Then there is always a slump in service / performance as the "dream team", the sales people use to wow the clients move onto the next company they are trying to woo.

Fourthly, when the offshoring occurs, the transmission of knowledge sharing is very hard. The local people who are being let go won't be too facilitating in this documentation as well which is understandable.

Finally, just the geographical aspect. Teleconferencing, skyping etc. really adds an overhead and slows down productivity.

I'm going to finish with an anecdote, which makes you really appreciate the contrast. I was working on a project, reviewing code submitted by a dev from offshore. This was during monsoon season, a couple of days later I found out the person died in the monsoon due to a severe localised flooding in the place he was living just outside the city.
I live in Scotland which is a wet place, but we don't have to worry about drowning or losing our homes to flooding in most cases :(
Moderate rain is not an acceptable condition for cars to refuse to drive. Especially in the middle of long trips.

This means self driving cars must also operate without LIDAR, though the safety advantage when it is operating can still be a net gain.
Last time I bothered it still was catching up with the likes of Alegro and such.
How Do I get my First 100 Customers?
Because LIDAR is expensive. If camera-based neural networks eventually get good enough that LIDAR provides minimal additional value, they will drop it. This is what Musk is betting on. We're not there yet for sure, and it's not clear to me yet whether that's a realistic goal for the 5-10 year time frame.
>I know I'd have to cut out far more than just the intelligent molluscs, and the whole thing is awkward.

I ended up just cutting out farmed meat in the end. As far as meat goes, I can eat what I kill. Apart from if someone has already got me food and didn't know, as to turn that down seems both a waste and kind of rude.
You can actually play this at the videogame museum in oakland, ca. https://frandallfarmer.github.io/neohabitat-doc/docs//

I got to play with it, it's cool.
Yes, but you should also ask "if I instead kept working all these extra hours as a consultant, would I be OK, or would I hate my life, be stressed, perhaps burnout and lose customers, or even have health implications"?

With these questions in mind it's not as straightforward to say "if I didn't live this new lifestyle I'd make billable hours consulting".

You also need to think the reverse "opportunity cost" playing into your consulting gig life in the mid/long run.

One not doing what they like to let off steam, could in the end lose gigs or family (e.g. due to drinking, substance abuse), or even hurt their health/life (depression for one).
Why would they be working on something like this? Is it useful for JetBrain's line of work? I mean it is cool, but it makes me curious as to why.
Then it's not grep, it's something much slower which has to parse the syntax.
Given the choice between bored disinterest and confrontation I would say confrontation is the better tactic, at least it's memorable. Now maybe it's not the ideal method, but of the two presented here it seems the more reasonable.
Be sure to look at F. Randall Farmer's articles under "Literature", really fascinating and entertaining!

>Moreover, they didn't want me to disclose the vulnerability. At the same time, there was not even a single word from Valve. No, guys, that's not how it works. You didn’t respect my work, and that's the reason why I won’t respect yours — I see no reason why I shouldn't publish this report. Most likely I’ll be banned at H1 because of it, but it won't make me upset.

This seems pretty scammy of HackerOne and does nothing but hurt security. Either something is an issue and should be paid for, or it's not an issue and disclosure is fine. They're trying to have it both ways and trying to strong arm researchers into keeping quiet.

The thread is about Gaza, so my comment focused on Gaza.

Gaza and the West Bank are currently separate entities.

The situation in the West Bank is more complicated, and Israel can be considered to still occupy it. The main reason Israel hasn't pulled out of the West Bank the way it did with Gaza is because of the dire result of the Gaza pullout. The conflict has clearly gotten worse and certainly more bloody since that pullout.

You are incorrect about East Jerusalem residents not having access to "any social services". They are Israeli permanent residents and have access to the same services as any resident or citizen of Israel:

> As residents, East Jerusalemites without Israeli citizenship have the right to vote in municipal elections and play a role in the administration of the city. Residents pay taxes, and following a 1988 Israeli Supreme Court ruling, East Jerusalem residents are guaranteed the right to social security benefits and state health care.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Jerusalem#Residency

They also don't suffer checkpoints etc, and can certainly move residences.

There are other territories which are not part of Israel, such as Ramallah, where people never were residents of Israel. Israel does hold military control over some of these territories, in the same way the US controls parts of Iraq and Afghanistan. The US doesn't grant US permanent resident or citizen status to Iraqis and Afghanis, either.
If you support private companies’ freedom so much then you should allow Internet providers to choose which sites you have to pay extra for to visit.

The idea that the government should force companies to adhere to net neutrality against their will is anti-freedom, not pro-freedom.
.. which falls over as soon as you have a file with a space in the name.

Edit: this highlights the big weakness in the "UNIX philosophy", in which the only record delimiter that's conventionally recognized in pipelines is the newline but the shell recognizes characters as filename delimiters that are also allowed in filenames. Causing a cascade of delimiter bugs. Sometimes you really do need a bit more structure to your data.

(The UNIX philosophy is best understood in contrast to what went before - the COBOL or JCL style where files had fixed records, in turn based on fixed-column punchcard layouts.)
Was just about to link this! My favorite excerpt:

“Would anyone actually go to the trouble of disassembling and studying 100K or so of incredibly tight and bizarrely threaded 6502 machine code just to tinker? As it turns out, the answer is yes. People did. We were not 100% rigorous in following our own rule. It turned out that there were a few features whose implementation was greatly eased by breaking the rule in situations where, in our judgment, the consequences would not be material if some people "cheated" by hacking their own systems. Darned if some people didn't hack their systems to cheat in exactly these ways.”
Probably some of them didn’t really know for sure.
I think what’s quite often forgotten in statements like this is that Israel voluntarily withdrew from Gaza 15 years ago, and Gazans then had an election in which they elected Hamas.

Since then, Hamas has launched thousands of rockets into Israel with the express purpose of targeting civilians, while Israel has lost a huge buffer zone (Hamas now reaches major cities like Beersheva with their rockets).

Worst part IMO is that there have not been any new elections and that Hamas has started enacting Sharia law in Gaza.
Visual Studio with Resharper does this.

It's very very fast / almost instant even with hundreds of source code files and millions of lines of code.

I hit ctrl+T and then can search everything, this give me a drop down that filters out the more I type, select the item in the dropdown and it goes to that source file.

I can also type:

/t and search just types

/m members

/mm methods

/u unit tests

/f file

/fp project

/e event

/mp property

/mf field

/ff project folder

e.g.

/t Foo

will find all the Foos

/mm SavePhoto

will find any methods called SavePhoto

Well, you are right but I expected to find an article speaking about Wine running on native Windows without WSL, which would make it interesting in another way.

I would not expect Wine not to run on WSL. What I learned from the article though is that WSL1 does not run 32 bit binaries (and that someone botched their registry trying to run Wine on Windows back in 2004, which I found funny).

> The documents, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, also include orders for information that NHTSA sent to Tesla following several crashes, including a fatal March 1 crash involving a Model 3 operating on Autopilot. Tesla shares fell 0.5% in New York pre-market trading to $229.51.

NHTSA seem rather unkeen for Tesla to say the good without the bad, and are more than happy to try and prove that the marketing fluff Tesla has forwarded isn't a complete enough story for the public to make a decision.

>I don't see anyone in this tale that would expect free hosting for controversial content.

BitMitigate was presumably paying Voxility for normal hosting, not for the bulletproof hosting BM was marketing. Those are two quite different services.

It appears that BM may have expected free bulletproof hosting from Voxility. (Or maybe not, perhaps they expected to get kicked out)

If I pay you to wash my car that doesn’t mean I’m paying you to clean my house.

>Right; my point is that if this was a normal event, Voxility would have simply increased fees to match the increased costs of hosting.

Bullshit. They’d have terminated the relationship because the customer was not being upfront with them.

Besides, going “hey pay us more or you’re going offline” has a real bad vibe to it, I doubt many sane companies would want to do that.

This is completely standard practice in the hosting industry. I’ve been kicked out of tens of datacenters (including Voxility!), I know exactly how this works.
Reuse Software
"But by the end of the 80s the writing was on the wall: the Italian system could not support a world-class tech player."

There are many that believe - including Olivetti employees back then, according to documented sources - that the US system did in fact "un-support" it to favor IBM, considering the demise of Olivetti is to be mainly attributed to the sudden death of the Italo-Chinese (CEO and CTO) heads of the Olivetti electronics division, in less than clear circumstances.

From: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Tchou

"Nel 2013 Carlo De Benedetti dichiarò a un programma radiofonico: "In Olivetti c'era la convinzione che fosse stato ucciso dai servizi segreti americani"[6], ipotizzando che l'incidente di Tchou fosse stato in qualche modo provocato per favorire l'IBM[7]."

Consider that in these years, Italy was a Cold War playground where secret services of US/Nato on one side and Russia/China on the other, were actively taking part in multiple underground large scale operations.

I'm familiar with a lot of other open source projects and people, and I can guess what you mean about the occasional unintentional or intentional bad actor. FWIW, IMHO, there are no bad actors (as I see it) in Racket.

What I think just happened is a little growing pains, when a few new things happened all at once, and everyone (including in core) was caught off-guard by at least one surprise. I think it all arguably reduces to areas of communication to improve.

I absolutely agree about the strong vision, and I think that such a vision probably mostly exists, in core, but that it's not yet been made really-super-clear to everyone else, nor has there then been a chance for everyone else to comment on and influence an unambiguous draft vision. Until everyone comes to shared understanding and agreement on the top-level requirements, I think an RFC process on features and tactics seems not only premature, but also perpetuates misconceptions/misalignments.

You do have to log into Steam with the same account on both PCs, don't you?

Personally I find it annoying that it doesn't have a fallback whole-desktop mode, since some game launchers (eg Minecraft) interact very badly with Steam streaming, and Microsoft insist on turning RDP off on consumer editions. You can fake it by installing Notepad as a "third party game", but it's not entirely reliable.

I ended up using Nvidia+Moonlight to stream Minecraft.
Legacy software and outsourcing to consultants or contractors. I think that's the story for most organisations in the UK - not willing to invest in having a dedicated team of in-house developers. Meanwhile developers are like nomads and are on the move to the better paid jobs and/or the better tech stack and better workloads. Lot of new graduates coming through but still not enough to meet demands in the market. Training is the biggest cost imo.
