I always heard that opportunities briefly opened up for women during the war, because the men were away, and then when the men came back they had to "make room" as you say. But it was worse than that. Women lost progress that they had made before the war even started.
One man’s “beautiful” is another man’s “flat and bare” :)

That said - $20 feels right for this sort of thing. Gotta be light, polished and snappy though, truly exceptional. Not of an Electron variety. The fee is basically a pat on a back for the developer for a job well done.

Certainly not more, because it’s a goodwill purchase. But if it’s less, then it’ll look like a temp side project with a limited life expectancy.
I've been trying to use NodeJS after using Rails for years and it's just such a terrible experience. I don't want to install every basic package by hand and generate every model and view and controller by hand. This is basic boilerplate nonsense that made Rails so popular 15 years ago, and NodeJS throws away every lesson we learned from Rails.

React is okay as a front-end but without a full stack framework, the current state of Javascript is like stepping back into 20 year old PHP development, where everyone just hacks together anything they can find with no structure, no convention, and no security.
Java will be around forever, and becoming an excellent Java developer will absolutely remain highly lucrative for a very long time. That's its reputation at the companies I"ve worked for over the last 10 years (all startups). Go is more of an anti-language imho. Among myself and similarly minded colleagues, I would say its main attraction is its lack of features and it seems a haven for people that are grumpy like me. I always get a chuckle when I see it framed as "hip" because its just never felt like that to me. Elixir is Hip. Rust is somehow Hip. Go, just not in my experience.
this is bad comparison because when scraping a site, you don't cross any borders, you just send and receive information. You can compare this to a phone call or to talking to someone.
The remark came across as highly negative

Probably because it was.

It was also a reply to a comment about a hypothetical future, which sort of implies speculation for all child comments.

I honestly think you might want to consider the very real possibility that we, on HN, are in a bit of an echo chamber. Where I live in opioid infested fly over country, if you ask the average person the name of a single privacy concern, security concern, or even a single celebrity privacy activist, you would get a blank stare. The slightly more informed, or slightly more criminal depending on how you want to look at it, would probably say that his phone was a security concern because the cops can use it against him when he goes to see his weed man. (Or worse.) But that's about the extent of it.

Compare that with other issues. How many people around here know all about the #MeToo issue? How many people around here know the ins and outs of all the immigration stuff? You may have disagreements with them as to what should be done about these issues, but they definitely know them. Even more esoteric issues, something like prison reform or the trade war. They definitely know what it means for them and are all about making sure things go their way on those issues. They know Trump is about the trade war. They know Kim K and Trump are about prison reform. They largely support both. (Again, I'm not making an argument about whether or not they are on the right side, just pointing out the difference in familiarity with the issues.)

The only people around here who know about security and privacy issues are the meth dealers, the few techies, and the usual bedfellows of child porn lovers/racist ideologues. We have to get the average teacher in, say, Markesan or wherever, talking about privacy and security in the classroom the same way they talk about Kim K's prison reform push, or the trade war.

I'm respectfully suggesting that this is something that is just not happening right now. Definitely not around here.
Maybe $100? I suppose it would depend on features. Honestly though, something open source where I make a recurring donation (i.e. Patreon, GitHub Sponsor) might be better, since that may mean development over a longer period of time

Why does every thread about Rails on HN devolve into a thread bashing Django? Do Rails users have some kind of "little brother complex" compared to Django?

Every Django thread on HN usually involves a healthy amount of discussion about the pros/cons of Django, and it's really helpful. You would expect that Rails threads have a discussion about the pros/cons of Rails, right? Except instead, every Rails thread also turns into a discussion about the pros/cons of Django.

If Rails is so good then why do its users feel they have to constantly defend itself against non-existent attackers?

Your original comment started with:

Carpel tunnel and tendonitis? How'd she do that?

People are not angry because you are proposing a solution, they are angry because you're implying that only a moron would run into a problem that many musicians run into. That it's somehow her fault, because if she hadn't been a moron and looked all those pictures you're talking about then it wouldn't have happened. You seem to be operating from a worldview where everything that is obvious to you must be obvious to everyone else. This worldview is incorrect.

And you're not really offering a solution anyway, you're offering a possible way the problem might have been avoided that didn't actually happen in reality. A solution would be a way to make sure all musicians avoid the problem, even ones with teachers that teach them bad technique. Or to somehow make sure no teacher anywhere teaches bad technique and is capable of picking it up in their students and correcting it.

You are also assuming that everything you know would be enough to protect you even if you practiced the many hours you need to get to a professional level, even though you yourself have never done it. I didn't feel like challenging this but you should ask yourself why you're so certain something is easy to avoid if you've never put yourself in the position to face it.

This just seems like a mailing list for CVE alerts for popular software. If you put in HN, it'll say that it failed to detect the stack, and then ask you to choose your software and then enter your email to receive alerts.

It's kind of clever marketing, giving people a sense that they're going to get a security audit in exchange for an email address.
I've recently built a Node server with TypeScript and it's a joy to use with external libraries when the types are available. It's such a time saver to not have to guess which method to call with which arguments (I've had only experience with dynamic languages before). Some libraries don't have types or they are outdated but it was a minority.

With the experience I've found that most of the type errors are actually between the backend and the frontend in web applications. It's still hard to fully type the entire flow from the database calls with the ORM to the objects manipulation in the frontend.

How are you dealing with that? We used Nexus with GraphQL but it was still a bit cumbersome.

Learning curve is a weird reason for such an important and well compensated profession to be wielding subpar tools towards subpar outcomes. “Yeah, medicine seems really powerful, but med school is hard and I’ve got patients to treat.”

Seems more likely that the grass is not actually greener on the other side. If it were, we’d see small teams of the rare few who are willing to surmount the learning curve outcompeting the rest of the tech industry.

Assuming you are salaried, you are paid to solve problems, not run out the clock.

Personally, I often have what I suppose you could think of as a "priority queue" of things going on in my head. Some of those may not be work related. If I have something "high priority" that I cannot get my mind off of, it is to everyone's benefit that I take care of that item so I can get on to work-related tasks.

I think being distracted at work is not a "stick it to the man" activity for most people. It is just incredibly difficult to be actively providing value for a full work day. Humans need breaks. Same reason why there is the joke about construction crews always just sitting around.

I've heard before as a criticism of Agile that "it's not a sprint, it's a marathon". I would take it even further: Being a professional isn't a marathon. It's a migration. You are going to be at this a very long time, and you need to go at a pace that you can sustain for years on end.

An average climate change skeptic is a person who believes that strong hurricanes are just the weather and cold winters are proof that climate change isn't happening.

An average climate change believer is a person who believes that cold winters are just the weather and strong hurricanes are evidence of climate change.

You won't believe me, but my current GF and I kissed for the first time four and a half years ago while we were in university, and I had just finished showing her this very Perl module.

In retrospect, maybe that meant something. Still, I can't complain.
I think that's precisely the point.

You've conflated a few different ideas there under the banner of 'moral crusades'. Law enforcement and climate change issues have very little in common. Your initial quote calls out "oil and gas extraction" - we're not talking about like, making more efficient cars, we're talking about literally pulling more carbon out of the ground so that someone can chuck it into the air.

The distinction is between "something that someone probably should care about" and "something that everyone must care about".
It's sad that the Secret Service, who was created for one job -- investigate counterfeiting -- don't understand where money comes from.
Two things to bear in mind when submitting content:

Submit content suited to the site, as per Hacker News guidelines. Hopefully if you've been there a while you are aware of this, but here it is again just in case: Hacker News Guidelines. The first two paragraphs in the guidelines sum it all up: On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
Timing. I don't live in the US myself, and since roughly half of the site's users are in the US, the time of day makes a big difference in seeing your submission hitting the front page or floating to the bottom. Here's a good post: The Best Time to Post on Hacker News: A Comprehensive Answer
Yup. There was a recent guest on Tim Ferriss podcast - he was talking about depressed people, no amount of "you should be happy" or "there are people who have it much worse than you" is gonna help depressed people. It is only going to annoy them and drive them away.

That said, there are people who use affirmations successfully to get out their misery. I dunno what to believe anymore

I am pretty sure. If you developing the next Basecamp these are essential. However, I rarely see Rails succeeding in other aspects of web development. I spent some time on trying to make Rails work for use cases that are not the perfect match for this ecosystem and failed. Yet, it is quite possible that there are millions on web applications out there, running on Rails happily. It is just not a great fit for things I do.
please don't go look at obfuscated C code, otherwise you're gonna have a panic attack everytime you realize how much infrastructure has been developed in C and is run everyday.

I guess that's why VCs generally don't encourage this sort of behavior.
Anyone can (and people are) just scan the internet for hosts on port 80/443 and unless your site uses virtual hosts and has no HTTPS certificates issued to one of your domains, it's going to be discovered and probed exactly like this site does anyways. The difference is real adversaries are doing it without you knowing.
Repurpose it how? You'd need ASICs to mount a 51% attack. Using a few quickly googled numbers, you'd need ~56EH/s to double the network and mount a 51% attack. An S9 does 14TH/s, so you'd need ~4 million, at $3k each.

So around $12 billion (plus the datacenter, operations, etc). You'd pretty much send BTC to being worth $0...and then you're stuck with $12 billion in useless hardware.
Lol, no, although I think these are valuable lessons that anyone needs, not just managers or princes. I'm omitting a lot of the great books I would suggest but others have suggested as well.

The first URL I entered (coop.co.uk) was actually pretty awesome, it detected Varnish and showed a critical CVE from last week. That’s cool.

I hope that if you subscribe, the site regularly rescans your stack and realised if it’s changed. Otherwise it’s just a mailing list subscription that becomes out of date and therefore not useful.
My website (https://taoofmac.com) is exactly that (web and batch workers) and has been running on it for almost 3 years now, but bear in mind that it does not use containers - it merely deploys relatively isolated services in virtualenvs (or equivalent).

Since I use CloudFlare (hi jgrahamc!), it's been peachy.
Only if the attack is from the outside, which is not a requirement. It's not mutually exclusive.

The miners who control the bitcoin network are already centralized on a handful of organizations in China. If they colluded on this attack they would take over >51% of the network because, hey, they already own and operate most of that computing power you're eluding to.

Edit: There is also no evidence that the price would plummet from this, and given the history of theft, scams, forks, etc. involving bitcoin that do not drastically affect the price, I don't think it would either.

TCP packet size is a very real thing for me.

Also in forms it helps to know, for example, that no one has entered more than 2 characters for a USA state abbreviation.

Definitely open to bigger ways about thinking of these things though.
A website or server is property, just like land is. Accessing it is no different than accessing any other piece of property. Opening a website is, for all intents and purposes, the same as crossing a border.

To take it a step further, the information on said website is also personal property, and accessing the information without permission is also trespassing. Specifically, this is called trespass to chattels [1] (trespass is most usually legally defined as trespass to person, trespass to land, and trespass to chattels). Even more specifically, this is the actual part of the CFAA that's being debated: computer trespass gets its roots from trespass to chattels. [2]

I mean... it absolutely does. You put the money taxed from the rich into social programs to ease the stress and risk of the lower classes - or just give it directly to them as lower taxes. That could make a huge difference.

If you argue that insurance/college/rent etc would scale to accommodate the larger budgets the lower classes would suddenly have, then obviously some other legislation is needed there though.
Even if LinkedIn loses and scrapers can no longer be blocked, they still just switched to putting all profiles behind an authwall, or at least it's very hard to not get an authwall. So could HiQ even carry on if they won anyway?
Yep.

I had a long debate with an accountant, regarding what I should primarily manage. Being bootstrapped I mostly manage cash-flow and made the mistake of saying “profit is made up”. That got him real worked up.

My point was we derive profit. The actual transactions are in the cash-flow statement which does not lie.
It depends, where is this hypothetical person living? I live in the middle of a city, the store close to me serves the thousands of people living in my square kilometer. Because of scale, the truck that transports new goods to the store has a low carbon emission per customer.

I have friends who live way out of town. If they have a store it serves maybe twenty people. Instead of dividing the truck’s emissions by thousands of people you just divide it by twenty.
Hmm, not a lawyer, but I think if you commit one crime in the process of doing something else that's legal, you're still guilty. But LinkedIn couldn't block your spider if it came back and throttled at a reasonable rate.
> The initial statement you wrote said that the value of the worker's labor = ALL the company's profit.

I didn't say that. I said that I don't have a problem with workers organizing to ask for more compensation so long as the company is earning profit. I didn't say anyone is "entitled" to anything and I didn't even predict whether or not the efforts would work.

> If the workers "regain" it all, there's nothing left for an investor/founder.

I addressed investors already. Money used to pay back a loan is not what I consider "profit," in the same way that money used to pay for office electricity is not what I consider "profit." Obviously companies have to pay their bills. As for founders, I assume they're functioning essentially as the manager/employer and thus are the party that is negotiating with the organized labor of their company. I'm not prescribing some amount of money they get to keep versus their employees—that's precisely what the negotiations will determine.

> Since this is the scenario you endorse (you've said so three times), your position is that investors and founders should not receive any return on their investment, nor any gains from establishing the company in the first place.

I have said that zero times and have now explicitly refuted it twice, lest there be any confusion about what I am claiming.
> Recently there are newer cryptocurrencies like Monero and ZCash that focus specifically on anonymity/privacy.

There's also zero knowledge proof contracts on Ethereum that provide privacy, like the mixer tornado.cash
I have no budget to be able to comply with GDPR, my web apps are barely break-even as it is. I don't even cater to EU citizens, and even though I don't do anything shady with personal information, I'm still at risk of running afoul of some regulator in some far off country. So my choice is to keep running this risk or just block all European IP addresses.

IMO that's not really "state of the art," and the more countries / provinces / municipalities that pass their own convoluted regulations the more risk it puts me under as a small business owner.

The net result is only huge companies have any hope of being able to afford the compliance costs with all of this bullshit.
I think the issue is not "negligence of the victim" so much as, "took no steps to make the information private". If I don't lock my door and someone goes into my house, opens my filing cabinet, and copies my financial info then they're still a criminal. They took information from a place that was unambiguously meant to be private. But if I staple a copy of my financial info to a telephone pole, surely those who read it are not committing the crime of reading private information.

A URL that is not authenticated seems more like the latter than the former. The web is public unless people take steps to make it private. Criminalizing accessing unprotected URLs is like arresting people for reading the financial info I left stapled to the telephone pole. A while back there was a "world's most exclusive chat room" website that hosted IRC channels for people above twitter follower numbers. People learned that they could just manually increment a URL parameter to access higher room numbers regardless of their twitter follower count. Were those people committing a crime?
