skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
GPZ has some of the very best whitehats in the entire world and they are evaluated based on what they find, not what they fail to find. They have the time to review code in depth. They are also usually investigating vulnerable code rather than malicious code, which doesn't seek to hide from investigation.

PlayProtect needs to be able to evaluate every app in existence (millions of apps on the Play store, ??? off the play store, and dozens or hundreds of versions of each of these apps). Malware authors are incentivized to perform all manner of tricks to avoid detection (code obfuscation to prevent static analysis, environment detection to prevent dynamic analysis, etc). It needs to do so in a (presumably) fully automated fashion since there are so many apps. It also gets little credit for when it works and instead only makes the news when it fails.

So 100% of the coverage of GPZ is positive and 100% of the coverage of PlayProtect is negative.
I actually learned to speak english in a fraternity. Some bad words would inevitably slip up at my friends’ parents’ houses when i’d be invited, it was embarrassing ^^ thankfully, my english’s improved a lot since ;)
Nice! I'd would love to replace my custom system with this if some of the following features were implemented:

- A subcategory or tagging system. When viewing the budget, I could just filter those items. This would be nice for my side business stuff, so I could have categories like "biz->income" and "biz->hosting", and then just view the "biz" category to see multiple flows. Or more simply, I don't necessarily need subcategories if I could just view multiple budget categories in one view.

- When choosing a category when approving transactions, it would be nice to be able to type to search the category

- Also when approving transactions, when I click on the checkmark, I'd prefer if they either disappeared instantly or just didn't disappear at all. Right now I'm afraid to click multiple items quickly since I might mis-click when it disappears unexpectedly, clicking on the next line. I think it's important to remove all friction from the transaction approval section, since that's the most commonly used part.

- How do I categorize recurring expenses? It doesn't seem like I can. Why not?

- Some way of showing big, unique groups of expenses, such as a wedding, or vacation, or buying a computer. I wouldn't want to factor that into my monthly budget, but I'd like to see the total costs of this years "special expenses". Maybe I could tag transactions as "coast trip" or "gaming pc" or "wedding", and then view all special expenses as their own category?
Good thing my parents keep it around and eat it anyhow. My dad once made me a sandwich with mayo that had "expired" nine years earlier.

Getting Started with Service Mesh Starts with a Gateway
Hm, I don't know that I have a formal process for finding good side projects, but here's something I've been doing recently that might work for you:

1. Find something you want to play around with; for me recently, that was React Hooks

2. Start a codesandbox (I guess that only works if you're doing web dev stuff though), and just start messing with the examples from the tutorials

3. I almost always find something I want to explore further during that step, so then I take it offline and start a larger project

So I guess my advice would be: start small; even smaller than you think you should start (i.e., don't come up with a whole project to do - just "mess around" with the tech/idea in some small way first).

Then eventually, you'll get ideas about what you can try out, and what you should break off into a bigger chunk and try as a larger (but still small!) side project
It's annoying how you keep assuming facts that you know nothing about. I happen to live in country where vaccinations are mandatory and parents have to go through significant trouble to avoid them. That incidentally means the chance of living in such community is much bigger than you think.

Rapid Application Development definition is changing
What was most challenging about building it?
As I've said it before, Intel, HP, Microsoft any many more use contract workers for extended periods vs hiring someone as a full time employee. A very clear misclassification (https://www.dol.gov/whd/workers/misclassification/) that has gone on far to long with these companies.

The huge companies hire contract workers so they can get a tax advantage, while saying the work/job is temp which it is not. A lie that keeps on going. From my exp contractor will get lower pay, no perks, all while doing same or similar work as full time employee. Its an abuse that needs to be fixed at the federal level.

I dont like the idea of a union, but if it helps us maybe thats what needs to happen.
> I’d love a car that was just a car, a set of speakers, and A/C.

My 2004 TJ is pretty much that - it's dash is reminiscent of the basic dash I had in my old 94 Ranger.

In an original Wrangler (ie - pre-JK, 2 door), the dash is pretty "small" - there isn't a lot of room between its front and the firewall - so while it seems like a lot is crammed in there, it also makes fishing wires and such fairly easy (coupled with the bareness of the interior - custom wiring is a dream - just lay it down and zip-tie it to the rollbar in most cases).

The "center console" area is almost designed to be modded, and plenty of people have done it. But if you want to keep it stock, it is pretty bare-bones. You can even get it with a cigarette lighter -and- a DC power outlet (I should also note that one mod that I've seen was kinda neat - stowing a small inverter behind the passenger speaker area with the "plug" mounted nearby on the side or underneath the dash area).

The downside is that it isn't a new vehicle - but I have the "bulletproof" 4.0 I6 - so even with it's mileage, I'm not worried. There's also the fact that the interior is...spartan (and the body isn't designed to protect you in an accident - not a big deal, as usually most cars that get into accidents with Wranglers disintegrate, while the Wrangler is usually drivable - might have to take a hammer to some parts first). Despite it being basic, though, the AC works incredibly well here in Phoenix!

Oh - and terrible gas mileage - there's that - though having a lift, 33" ATs, and a rear tire carrier don't help either (I've heard that you can get up to 16 mpg with a TJ on stock tires and no lift - but I ain't changing mine - I'm fine with 12 mpg - smiles per gallon, man).

But...but...if you can live with all that...you too can own a wallet that cries itself to sleep every night.
That progress is not made all at once. It's a problem with a known fix; but just like buffer overflows, a known fix doesn't always get implemented everywhere. For example, this 2019 paper:

Advertising is not a charitable act done for the benifit of consumers, no matter what anybody in the industry tells you. The relationship between advertisers and consumers is inherently adversarial, and advertising professionals are well aware of this fact even when they pretend otherwise (pretending otherwise is just one aspect of their complex web of lies and deceit. Whenever they do it, they remind me of what utter scum they are.)

If anybody needs proof of this, install an adblocker and observe as your life does not fall apart despite your now limited exposure to advertising.
Indeed. I live in Mexico and the feeling of going to the US from here is that everything is so clean, the roads are way nicer, basically the reverse perception of everything GP said
This is not a single point of failure. It's by no means a legitimate concern. Go read the proposal. If you don't want to use proxy.golang.org, use goproxy.io. Or host your private one. Fairly sure you'll be able to use github soon as well. Do whatever.

I notice you couldn't back up your FUD about analytics being collected.

Go programmers are happy that they have a solution where their dependencies (and specific versions of those dependencies) will be available forever without them having to take the trouble of vendoring. Your dismissive response? Just vendor. They're happy that clean builds are faster, saving CI time. Your response? It doesn't need to be faster.

I try to go through a line with a cashier if I can just to get my support for a human workforce into their metrics, but sometimes I have to use the self-checkout (often because it is the only option after certain hours.) I've noticed that when there is a problem with the anti-theft scale (usually because something has failed to scan because I am moving faster than the weight-check) the sole attendant will just cancel the "bagging alert" from their command station.

I imagine it's impossible to investigate every time the machine stops when one person is "monitoring" a dozen or more of these things.

I've stopped trying to rectify these errors and now just consider it as a discount for me having to take on the work they used to pay someone for. Perhaps the stores see it the same way and the loss is still way less than the cost of employees?
I'm in my early 40s and I remember when it was aired, but younger people were probably watching kids TV at the time.

There were some other similar stories that made it to the TV, like Dona Branca, Capitão Roby or Ballet Rose.
Someone please come back to this comment in 10 years.
Altruism is almost always false. It's usually selfish. People do things which are, on the surface, selfless and benevolent. But they do them because it makes them feel better in some way, or to assuage guilt, due to peer pressure, or increasingly due to pathological virtue signalling.

It's not necessarily bad when someone does something "altruistic" for these reasons, but the people who are the most visible and vocal about it are the ones who are the least honest about it. They are gaining (or at least think they are gaining) the most social credit, and they expect the most reciprocation. If you do something "kind" but expect or demand recognition, you're not altruistic; you're just taking your payment in other ways.

This manifests in myriad ways we've all seen: church bake sale tyrants, celebrity cause-o-holics, corporate misdirectors, activism tourists, etc. It's only altruism if it costs you something and you gain nothing in return. Even if you quietly and anonymously help others, but in turn sleep better at night and feel beatific, you're gaining something. If you think it'll get you into heaven or some other incorporeal reward, you're being selfish.

In almost all cases, this is a good thing, but true altruism doesn't exist.
Not at all. I was well on my way as a deadbeat before this recovery I’m now in. My point was that being referred to as a deadbeat would incite those 4 points above in varying forms and make me much less willing to seek help.

And no. I’m not a victim of any massive trauma (I’m guessing that’s what you mean), came from a decent enough middle class family. So not all addicts are a victim of anything - except the disease.

And, to be clear, whilst I was avoiding responsibility throughout active addiction, I was avoiding reality far more. That is by far the bigger problem.

Weed can totally be the reason why someone doesn’t look after their wife and kids. I’ve caused the exact same problems in my own life! Just because _most_ people can smoke weed fine, doesn’t mean some people don’t completely screw up their lives with it.

Weed is like the beer of the drugs world. An alcoholic will still ruin lives even if they can only drink beer. It’s what I’ve done!

FYI, hash was one of my main drugs of choice (alongside cocaine and alcohol).

...

So this is probably most important thing for anyone related/involved to/with an addict to understand. And I actually came back to add this to the above when I started rethinking about what you said:

SET BOUNDARIES/LIMITS, DO NOT GET INVOLVED IN DRAMA AND DO NOT WAIVER.

Protect yourself first. Then be compassionate/helpful (not overflowing with sympathy, that’s not compassion) when it is appropriate.

Getting involved in my drama is like crack for me. “Attention from other people, yeeesssssss!!!”

An addict rarely asks for help honestly. When it happens (honestly), there’s always something different about how I would be asking. It’s at those moments when I was totally desperate that the magic could happen.

It doesn’t always work out, unfortunately. But they are the only opportunities where I’d be willing listen to other people and maybe, just maybe, be willing to change.

And those moments are where the compassion pays absolute dividends.

At least that’s my experience.

Patience, firm and consistent boundaries, and then compassion as and when applicable.

...

On a personal note, the whole thing sounds super rough. Maybe not hell, but still rough.

It’s a horrible disease to live with - as an addict and as someone who cares about an addict.

My thoughts are with yourself, your extended family and the husband.

Since when are FAANG companies considered to be closed source? Have any of them snatched up maintainers to continue development behind closed doors?

There are examples of large corporations hiring maintainers to work on open source and keep those projects open source. I believe pypi is an example of that.

In the UK, there are thousands of local sports clubs that have links to their sponsors. You can buy these links for small sums of money. This is the same as your apache example in theory but the intention is different, it's a clear attempt to manipulate rankings while the apache links are just a side benefit. I doubt microsoft and such would care either way?

If the argument is that a majority will accommodate a minority as long as that accommodation is unnoticeable to most members of that majority, then I am totally on board with that claim.

What I'm trying to push back against is Taleb's ridiculously broad statement that a tiny minority (only as much as 3-4% of the population) will force the entire population to submit to the minority's preferences. This is just not true.
Tech is perhaps unique in that people outside of it have very strong opinions on those inside it.
Of course it is, and that's okay. It is NPM removing a package from its own servers. It is okay just like automatically deleting spam emails is okay and disallowing bad words during children TV shows is also okay.

It's not like NPM is preventing anyone to use some packages no matter where they are hosted.

I bought it and stopped using it. It does work with modules, but I don't like the IDE itself and went back to vs code even though it breaks on me regularly. The UI/UX is just too foreign for me in GoLand. I had to search Google to find out how to search the project. Everything I wanted to do was non-discoverable for me.
Exactly. I know altruists who don't take care of themselves but instead need help from others. They are sort of generous but I always wonder if they are really generous if in turn their lifestyle is not self sufficient. For example if somebody helped somebody else with a big vet bill but now I am being asked to buy a car for that person I feel that actually I am the real giver and the person that thinks she is generous is not giving anything of her own but basically is giving away my money.

I have come to believe that the first duty of an adult is to be self sufficient. Only then you can be truly generous or altruistic in a sustainable way.

Two illusions that tricked Arthur Conan Doyle
Your comment seems unnecessarily confrontational.

"to think you should have a right to use their software for free and not be bothered by a short message from the author"

I don't know of any real rules about free software as far as what kind of messages someone should expect or shouldn't, but people can be bothered by it if they want.
Fully agree. The funny thing is that unions are now agreeing to two-tier wage structures, selling out the new hires to protect the seniors.
A basic traditional trick to minimize waste is to repurpose yesterday's leftovers into today's entree. Nearly every culture has a version of this, from Asian fried rice to American casserole.
The single simple cause he may be alluding to is greed.

Lawyers aren't interested in the technical minutiae except in as much as it can be useful in communicating intent to the jury.

"Why did you decide to only use one sensor to feed such a critical system?"

"Why did it not occur to anyone to reevaluate the safety rating when the software was changed?"

"Was there any pressure to not do as thorough an analysis as possible?"

What I would do as an attorney is cross examine everyone involved to establish that there was a clear and present intent to put the completion of the product on time ahead of completing the project in total compliance with federal regulations. It's proving intent to the jury that matters. Not arguing over the finer points of aircraft design. In fact, I'd be surprised if anyone with an aviation background would even make it passed voir dire unchallenged.

Actually about 2 years ago this is precisely the query I would have chosen too.

You could always find a parts catalog, service manual, that sort of thing scanned and posted online. PDF (used to) select for the scanned documents. Used to be my main usage of google was finding service manuals for auto and electronics.

Nowadays the spam just pretends to be a pdf cause we used to always search for them.

But that way, you're still likely funding your project through ad scumbaggery, you're just adding a layer of indirection.

It probably depends on what you eat, where you shop, and how you store your food. I can't imagine it's easy to run a produce department and the whole produce supply chain. Often people pick food that's been sitting around for a while.
What do you look for when hiring a freelancer
Ive built an e-learning website linked to a freelancing website. Users take courses in the e-learning part of the website and complete tasks for companies in the freelancing part of the website. But they can only apply for a task if they have completed its required courses.

So, I would like to know what other companies look for when hiring a freelancer. Are courses enough to validate that a user has the knowledge they say they do?

Also, I would like to know what issues you might have hiring on other freelance platforms so that I can try and solve them with my app.

Ive talked with potential users and they seemed interested but I want to hear a company's perspective on my idea.
They spent $500k doing it (in research credits for compute). Not sure if this is the best way to spend so much money, considering they made no novel contribution to NLP field, and OpenAI would have most likely released it soon anyway.
If you like OOP you should check out Moose and Moo in Perl 5. https://metacpan.org/pod/Moo

If you want regular Perl5 for Windows, Strawberry Perl is quite nice. http://strawberryperl.com/

Perl6, OTOH, has powerful OOP features like traits all built on a powerful, standard meta object protocol. Its functional programming features have evolved beyond Perl5's excellent support.

The Public Suffix List.

There are two halves to the list. The first ("ICANN") half are suffixes that work like a TLD from the perspective of the DNS registry. Nominet handles registration in .co.uk or .org.uk or .net.uk the same way another country might choose to handle their whole TLD.

The rest is names whose registered owners do the same thing as a registry for the public or some subset of them, like Blogger or a cheap bulk hosting site where you don't pay for a name.

PSL listing has a variety of effects. Don't do it hoping to achieve one of them and then being disappointed by the others. Do it because you have a real public suffix.

For example many browsers won't let Cookies escape a suffix, so company A.some.example and companyB.some.example can't share cookies if some.example is on the PSL. Let's Encrypt name quotas care about the PSL so companyA.some.example certs wouldn't share quota with companyB.some.example. DMARC won't work on a public suffix, but HSTS preloading does.
They are subtle but there. Automation means the productivity is local - albeit concentrated in the automatees and implies an upwards trajectory to quality - giving a competitive edge. The industry is still there and likely growing stronger and more concentrated in skill.

Outsourcing implies going to the lowest bidder and less investment locally with fewer peripheral jobs. It is also "brute force" and commoditization. Inevitably the destination nation will develop competition which may be able to compete with the abroad nation who will have little special on them. It risks the loss of the industry even as an outsourcer.
