No, they aren't. They're fundamentally democratic confederalists, which is a leftist tendency, but distinctly different from Marxist-Leninism. There are some Marxist-Leninists among the PKK and YPG, but that's not the core ideology of either group. Furthermore the PKK and the YPG are not synonymous groups and viewing them as such is not an accepted position anywhere that isn't inundated with Turkish propaganda.

Or they used their cushy job, high salary, and low expected work output as a nice way to fund and work their side projects. If you leave work energized from not doing much, you have plenty of energy to burn off building something.

I know plenty of ambitious and talented developers who work at menial jobs to cash a paycheck and pay for their side projects.
The intersection of microservices + Vault is something I've long had to deal with - as far back as Vault 0.5.0, so I'm a bit "surprised" that isn't something that is turn-key with Vault+k8s today.

I was working with Mesos (before k8s had taken the world by storm), and had a similar issue - how do services get vault tokens without having a workflow that may include storing "secrets" in configuration. What I ended up writing was a tool[1] that a service could query, with it's Mesos Task ID, to get a token. The tool would then read it's own configuration, as well as the current mesos state to determine if the request was valid or not.

Unlike the k8s solution, as I understand it, you don't need to treat the 'service account token' as a secret (reducing the attack surface of when someone steals that token _and_ also has access to Vault). This is accomplished in two ways:

1. You can determine if a request is valid by looking at how long the service is running. If someone steals a Task ID, but the service has already been running for 2 minutes, then the Task ID is useless.

2. The Vault token is only issued once per service launch. This means if an attack steals the Task ID, but the token has already been given out, the Task ID is useless. If the attacker beats the the service in asking for that key, then the service should raise the alarm bells about it's key potentially being stolen. If you are even more paranoid, you could even decide to invalidate all active keys and reduce the amount of time the attacker has a valid Vault Token.

This was largely designed years ago with some cues I took from one of Vault's lead engineers so I expected that the k8s integration would work similarly. I'm not too familiar with k8s however so there might be other constraints I'm overlooking in why Vault's k8s is integrated the way it is.

You can make the feature set virtually infinite without forcing a ridiculous UI by just embedding a reasonable API.
Fair enough, but I would argue that a military operation conducted by a neighbouring country dealing with the fallout of war (Turkey) is more justified and possibly stabilizing than any American or Russian incursion. Turkey has more of an incentive to "stabilize" its direct borders than America has in that region. What is America's interest in that region anyway?
Note: you can do the opposite as well to achieve the same thing, e.g. listen on the "sending system", in which case when you connect, you get the file.
People who care about blaming and punishing are focusing on vengeance instead of prevention.

You are just so incredibly certain. Why have investigations at all, magduf knows. And after the blaming and punishment is decided, people with that attitude don’t care about the issue any more. Problem solved until the next thing happens and we need to hang somebody new.
Beware, cache invalidation is one of the hard problems in computer science. ;)
Missed that. Great to see the uptake then.
> I wonder if there's a way to describe and interactively refine descriptions of areas of interest in a symbolic way—as Lisp trees if not Unix strings—maybe using existing neural networks. Certainly a speculative idea, of course.

I think the future is more like saying to the computer what you actually want. Like "delete the apple from the picture".

Photoshop already has a primitive form of this particular action, called Content Aware Fill, where you draw a rough selection around an object you want to delete, and it will fill a plausible background in its place. Works pretty well.

FAA testing disproves your contention that "good pilots wouldn't have lost the plane." That was part of the reason they eventually mandated the rearchitecture of the flight computer due to it representing a single physical point of failure

https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/newly...

One of the three seasoned test pilots (the civilian one) ended up losing the plane due to a single-event upset cascading to false positive activation of MCAS consistent with the Ethiopian Airlines disaster. I.e. the system activating at non-extreme AoA.

Also, not pulling power was justified due to the malfunction of the AoA sensor resulting in an airspeed unreliable state, the response to which is essentially "set throttles to what they should be for that stage of the flight", which was climb out in Ethiopias case, and from a hot and high airport to boot. They also ran through the procedures written by Boeing to a T. The fact that Boeing intentionally withheld important implementation details from the pilots can't really be used against them. The measure of incompetence is to not know something you absolutely should. The Ethiopian pilots had none of that info, and Lion Air swapped in a garbage part, and had bad paperwork in the logs, and furthermore, we're known to be at risk of "flying by rote" by Boeing. This damns Boeing even more, since they knew of the local minima in terms of safe operating style, yet still left out the information those pilots would have needed to safely fly the plane, ostensibly so as not to draw scrutiny from regulators.

In short, appealing to the need of a master airman to fly a demonstrably physically dangerous (and possibly unairworthy given explicit prescriptive criteria in the FAR's) aircraft doesn't speak volumes to the overall safety of the aircraft, which puts fault squarely in the corner of the manufacturer who self-certified the safety of their design.

I don't disagree that there is a cohort of developers who will command their highest compensation packages at companies that either don't hire rigorously, or hire very rigorously and painfully but have their choice among top developers. I'm happy for them! I just don't see why a shop that isn't Google or Facebook would hire that way, or target those developers in particular.
Might have been an earlier version we were testing before we built out the new posts pill, this feature went through several iterations.
Interestingly it is rather straightforward to meet. It is very difficult to prove compliance. Most sites with web front ends should be ada/508 compliant, but documenting it is similar to other paperwork exercises (iso9000) that cost a lot but have little real impact.
> And why would you think a typed system over a CSS framework is a good idea?

It's not just any CSS framework, but only utilities-based ones. In my opinion, CSS should not be complicated. They should only be tools to decorate things, like some kind of a library, not a programming language.

That's "library" part is when I think a typed system could shine, because styles are now just a list of fixed, primitive values.

Yes it is. CMake was adopted long before it supported everything it supports today.
Does 1,100 microservices mean 1,100 distinct programs or 1,100 running instances of dozens or hundreds of distinct programs?
Yes, that's not good, but it seems like in practice this doesn't come up too often in Go?

More typically you're building a new slice containing the results of a query or other computation, and returning it without keeping a reference. Or instead of exposing an internal map, you have a Get method.
I'm sure it matters a lot that I'm loud. But that's not a superpower; in fact, my friends and many of my coworkers would say it's the opposite. Nothing stops other hiring managers from doing the same thing.

The cable that came with my Dell U3219Q has worked well for nearly a year. The monitor provides 90W of power to charge the MacBook Pro, so it effectively functions as a docking station with a single cable.
If you have the operational manpower, Vault is a good solution as well. With Vault you can create an endpoint that will encrypt/decrypt data with a key that only Vault knows. You can have a unique endpoint for each user.

Then in your application when the user submits some data, you ask Vault to encrypt it before you store it in your main data store. When you need to read it, you get that value from your store and ask Vault to decrypt it.

If you have different services doing the reading/writing you can even setup your permissions so that one service can only decrypt and the other can only encrypt.

As I went walking I saw a sign there,
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing.
That side was made for you and me.

In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?

Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.

Twitter shuts them down when they reach the press. Journalists emailing them about botnets will get them shut down faster than actual security researchers filing detailed reports.

My theory: botnets that fly under the public's radar allow them to sandbag their engagement stats. Once said botnets become public knowledge, it becomes a liability to advertisers and users who now are going to be worried about spam, so the fear of net loss of engagement spurns them to take action.

Why hop the network for this?
the larger point is more interesting here. enterprise software sucks because it generally has to fit within the well-accepted boxes in order to meaningfully interface with all the other stuff. that implementation might be a little better than the last one...

but what if the overall model/structure is really what sucks?
This sounds interesting. I think with bound service account tokens (https://github.com/kubernetes/community/pull/1460) things may improve; pods will be able to prove their identity without it being equivalent to giving away your k8s api access.

I don't think there is anything with the same guarantees as the Task ID, sadly.
All I can say is that it made an unmistakeable difference for my problem within a week, and it seems safe to try. It's my general understanding that proteins get broken down to amino acids in digestion, so the expected advantage for generally healthy people would be in getting enough of the right ones in the right proportions.
Ya, I should have done that. I don't know how to edit it now though.

Why would Erdogan sit down with a minority when he has the resources to just totally oppress them?
You don't have to follow company rules - but again, company can terminate you with or without reason. In this particular case, Yi was fired because he's "lack of judgement", after Yi spoke to the press without formal approval and acknowledging he works for Facebook and refused to agree to the gap order warning.

Regardless, whether FB is hiding anything, speaking in front of the media representing the company without proper authorization is a common sense taboo. Yi should have know that better during first month of new employee training bootcamp. Also, this is not a of case of whistleblowing as Yi was simply protesting, he neither knew first hand nor had any evidence of FB wrongdoing. Having a gag order in place is not necessarily an indication of wrongdoing(FB has had enough negative news lately already and any more of it will affect their bottomline), although lots of time it is, but we simply don't know.
> No, economically speaking these are equivalent constructs.

"Economically speaking" ignores that we are human beings with biases. There is significant experimental evidence our brains don't perceive them as equal. Google "Prospect Theory" for more.
I think it's extremely short sighted to classify climate crisis as "single issue politics". If there was a single issue to impact all other issues than that would be it.
The state of Soviet engineering in space industry was noticeably different from an average level in the country. The resources going to space industry were also rather big; not on the level of Apollo, but still enough to make best minds of the country help solving fresh problems. The risks were huge, but there were also understanding of that, and a lot of efforts to counter the unwanted possibilities.
I think best solution will be, just like every business have accountant, every business will have software designer and a easy to use software that can do whatever it was asked to do, a cloud based software, with complexity and skill of excel is enough.
I wonder whether fraudulent startups would actually fail due-diligence checks reliably. If it is well known that investors look for certain things, Elizabeth Holmes would probably find a way to pass those checks, but well-intentioned founders might not put as much effort into compliance. From what I've seen of "compliance" paperwork in other industries, it sometimes just adds a ton of paperwork without actually preventing much fraud.
I guess they suffer from "leftpad as service".

It serves everyone to have relatively stable meanings for words and phrases. "Relatively" because of course there is natural drift over time. But if today I write "big data" and it means "millions of rows in Excel" to Bob but "hundreds or thousands of terrabytes" to Jane, it's effectively useless to use in communication.

Put another way, that Bob thinks he's dealing with "big data" doesn't mean he is in fact.
I think we should consider whether there might be a social responsibility to not fund scammers. Rather than considering the matter purely from the perspective of the investor's bank account, we should consider the broader impact of allowing scammers to find investors. It degrades the reputation of the industry every time it happens, and frankly I think it degrades society. Every time a scammer is enriched, society as a whole is harmed.
I had a contract where the recruiter apologized in advance for the onboarding process. It started with not being able to create an account with the e-signature vendor with whom I had an old, deactivated account, and being unable to get the bureaucracy to send the paperwork to a different email address. It went downhill from there.
What's wrong about this is only that users like features too. I.e. he's exactly right that the features checklist leads enterprise software selection processes astray. But I've participated in lots of them that have real users in the room and even then, the features checklist wins.

I think there are different tiers of service that are all called catering. when we get "catered" lunch at our office, they usually just put out a buffet of prepared food and we line up and take what we want. the catering staff will replace trays of food when they're empty and occasionally take your plate if you're finished eating, but that's about it. no idea what it costs per head.

no matter how you slice it, having other people prepare good food (ie, not pizza and wings) for you is relatively expensive. if you expect the food to come to you, it either has to be limited to dishes that travel well and don't suffer from sitting over heat for an hour, or you have to pay even more for people to cook it on location.
Traffic, and especially the noise caused by it would definitely be a suspect. However, the paper did take into account the precipitation, with the same amount of traffic causing less PM 2.5 when it rains.

This doesn't mean it is impossible, as rain might e.g. still be correlated with less traffic. The nature of a hidden variable is exactly that its indirect correlations would be not pinpoint-able in the data.

But IMHO this paper does a decent job of trying to account for lots of dimensions, and trying identify the existence of dominant hidden variables from the data at hand.

This is far from a rush job or a 'spurious correlation' piece of work, and its results most certainly are interesting and a very good basis for further investigation into an important observation. I'd even go further and say that these results warrant societal value systems that subscribe to the precautionary principle to take this on board in further decisions about pollution in populated areas.
Nice video. I've definitely heard this narrative before. There was a great blog post on HN a while back bemoaning feature lists but I couldn't find the one I am remembering on google. I found two other on-point articles of interest, though:

I was a long time Illustrator user. I think before the subscription model, say around CS3, Illustrator was fantastic. Then they started changing things in the UI that didn't need to be changed. I'm not against adding features but unnecessary changes really annoy me. I've been using Affinity Designer for the last year and I think it's great. It doesn't have all of the features Illustrator has but you can do real, professional work with it. Inkscape doesn't even come close.
>No, economically speaking these are equivalent constructs.

I am willing to get paid $10k to get rid of cancer, and in no scenario I would be willing to pay $10k to get one. It is clearly an asymmetric construct economically.
There are many reasons actually:

First is because I don't want to return a string as soon as you apply a value like "textRed()", because it prevents chaining, or I need to add those methods to the String prototype (right?). Therefore, when you call "textRed()", it just updates the current instance.

Second is that I actually wanted to use `[Symbol.toPrimitive]`, because it allows keeping the instance but still returns a string when expected (e.g. inside a `className` prop). However, TypeScript hasn't have good support for it yet (https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/4538) so we still need an explicit method to convert the instance to string.
It's definitely a consequence of the software's implementation.
The Heartland Institute that puts up Unabomber posters of "I still believe in climate change, do you?", advocates for coal, tobacco and fracking, and against any move to renewables.

Solely from Wikipedia. Given the extent of their policies denying the link between tobacco and health, between climate change and human activity (or it's a good thing really), I think you massively underplay why they attracted a label "denier".

On both tobacco and climate they are denying in the face of overwhelming evidence. Tobacco alone is enough for me to consider them entirely unethical and working against the public interest.
I deal with this occasionally (seems to crop up for me every couple of years depending on life circumstances). Look into sleep restriction therapy. It's been the "silver bullet" for me. You essentially limit yourself to a 5 hour sleep window every night. Once you can sleep 5 sound hours for a week you're allowed to add 30 minutes and repeat the cycle. It sucks for the first few days, but the exhaustion will eventually win out.
