> You haven't seen any recent Mercedes Benz then. Full of electronics

I had to dump an 09 VW GTI (I'm in the US) about four years ago with only 60K miles on it. The ABS computer failed; a $4k repair.

As a side note I traded it for a new 2016 Jetta Sport; which was the worst car I ever had, and the last VW I'll ever buy.

I traded the Jetta for a 2019 Hyundai Kona which I like but you can't drive it with the forward collision system engaged. I had always shut that off from day 1.... except a month ago I didn't and that sucker SLAMMED on the brakes when I was lane merging during a busy time--I was Not being aggressive just assertive. Only by luck no one slammed into the back of me. I can't imagine Anyone trusting their lives to a self-driving car.. it makes no logical sense to do that!

> There is a third option, that the election system is designed to allow only the desired result. For example, only two of the five possible Singapore Presidential elections have been contested.

Adding on: this is because the PAP in Singapore controls more than two-thirds of parliament [1], and have been able to push through constitutional changes without much consultation [2].

I think the increase in the private-sector requirement for candidates of our presidency (overtly disqualifying Tan Cheng Bock, a former PAP MP who was a candidate for the presidential elections, and is now the leader of an opposition party) slipped past many of our political critics until it was too late; a lot of uproar was focused on the elections being reserved for people from a specific ethnic group [3].

No you can easily prove it wasn't you that sent the traffic, simply look at case law for all of the torrenters absolved from having open wifi access points. The problem is your hardware is locked up in a criminal trial, which realistically means you ain't getting it back. And they're not just going for that device you used with a VPN, they're taking any possible device that connected to the VPN including routers, laptops, iphones, tablets, connected hard drives, etc.

THAT is the reason why a rational actor won't use such a service.
That is not how this supposedly works. The Oxylabs people (according to the author) put software out there (like Apps, or Installers whatever) and those are infected. That's why it's hard to proof this, first link those gnarly apps to oxylabs, next link oxylabs to NordVPN.

This is how it could be done:

Rent Oxylabs Residential IP's (600$ minimum commitment, according to [0]).
Check out IPs, stop using them, hope they get rotated to NordVPN, where you'd have to monitor the ips used.
At Oxylabs pricing the only possible conclusion if a match was found would be that the services are intertwined.

Yes yes yes! For a long time this three color style was my philosophy. It's all you need.

I'm currently (with new laptop) doing a thing where I try to install/customize as little as possible. This means not using that philosophy, but not because it didn't work.

In Canada the AVERAGE car is 14 years old. That means half of them are older than that.

Don't forget, just because a typical owner may sell a car after 5-10 years, doesn't mean it goes away into the aether :).

Minor correction:

A Legion numbered 3000-6000 combat troops around the time of Cannae. The Romans had mobilized additional forces for this battle, and this included an increase in the number of legions as well as the size of some. It is probably more accurate to say that about eight legions (Romans and allies) were destroyed.
> Many opposition parties here spent majority of their time complaining every single decision the government makes instead of making actual contribution to the society.

What would you consider "actual contribution to the society"? Any chance you could give examples of some things you would like to see opposition candidates do?
The relevance to the problem is that even if these examples needed unsafe code, that doesn't mean that there's no problem. "resilient to unsafe code" is not the right way to think about unsafe.

> For what &T can I safely implement DerefMut? Is it the fault of Pin that a type has DerefMut implemented that the unsafe block of that implementation doesn't uphold safety?

It is the fault of Pin's safety guidelines, which suggest a contract that is not actually enough to uphold safety. That's why this is considered an unsoundness in Pin, and not a problem with the code written with unsafe. That is:

> that the unsafe block of that implementation doesn't uphold safety?

is not correct, the unsafe block does everything it's supposed to to uphold safety.

The Irresistible Economics of Doorbuster Sales
My first touchscreen Garmin unit, circa 2007, definitely suffered from reliability issues in FL summer heat. Just keeping it on the dash in direct sunlight while driving was enough to affect its operation.

I’m guessing it didn’t effect their brand much because other companies like Tom Tom were aggressively targeting the entry-level market segment, and then the iPhone came out the same year.

The number people who had these higher-end units in hot southern states was likely just too small to significantly tarnish Garmin’s brand goodwill.

Soon enough most people switched to using their phone once the software was good enough (circa 2009 IIRC).
I was at Clojure/conj this year and this was one of my favorite sessions of the conference.

Ask HN: Software Engineer Career Path
Because I don’t provide just for myself anymore (and I want to give to charity comfortably), I have been thinking much more seriously about my career recently. I’d love to hear the wisdom HN has to give, and hopefully it will help others as well.

I dropped out of a reputable university to do a startup when I was young, dumb, and excited to take risks. I love sitting down and creating something by programming. I have 8 years of experience and done OK (don’t struggle but I don’t have extreme success either) at roles in small and top 5 tech companies with many people smarter than I am.

Whether true or not, I don’t see myself as vey smart, maybe above average in the industry. Because of this, I don’t see how I could keep growing as an individual contributor.

Will it be enough to just amass a large amount of experience, practicing, and keep learning new concepts to work on bigger projects and have more impact by leading them?

Or should I pursue management? I understand that I will still need to provide technical leadership but I am trying to figure out what I should drive towards. I do enjoy “managing” because I have experience mentoring new hires and offloading management work from my own manager.

Growth down these two tracks is not clear-cut, there will certainly be overlap. Either way, I’m very motivated to study and train to move my career forward.

I think I would be slightly happier going down the individual contributor path. Is that plausible? What advice does anyone have?

> A VPN provider is basically a choice to trade one country’s passive adversary for another.

Plus, whatever VPN provider you're using. Unsurprisingly, most seem to be based in countries with very lax telecommunication laws and that make it very easy to start shell companies.
I think, I have a hard time seeing the big use from such software, because my work doesn't really require such a reference library.

A searchable collection of data is great if you have a use case that actually depends on such a collection, like writing a paper, news article or doing (academic) research on some topic.

Maybe to ask a better question, what data do you want to collect and what are you using the data for exactly?

Suspect killed and multiple people injured in 'terror incident' London Bridge
My experience as a Development Manager for the past ~year (YMMV):

1. I'm playing chess; senior management is playing checkers. No, not because I'm some sort of genius and they are simpletons, but rather they talk about interchangeable "resource units" and I know these FTE's as "Tom" and "Amy", each with specific strenghts and weaker areas. Big strategic plans cannot differentiate but we front-line managers need to figure out how to position and leverage individuals.

2. Actually, genuinely, caring about your direct reports goes a very long way towards solving a lot of culture problems but...

3. Dev Managers need to put a lot of effort out into their teams to drive change and it is often (most of the time?) not returned. Your biggest enemy is not active sabotage, it's apathy at all levels of the organization. I started pushing for some specific cultural-ish changes about this time last year and, while I was given passive approval & support and lots of latitude to make change, it has been physically exhausting. If I was in an organization that didn't even give me this much freedom it would have been exhausting and pointless.

4. A Dev Manager can make localized changes when not all teams want or can reciprocate, but I'm not convinced yet that the requisite firewalls you need to erect aren't ultimately harmful in the long run. It is a very delicate balance.

In the end my take-away is you need space and time to make any meaningful change, and even that is limited by the crushing inertia of the organization. For me personally it has been physically consuming and I have 6 month & 1 year goals, plus an overall 3-year plan that I'll either complete in the coming year or look for an new opportunity elsewhere.

TIL, and since it’s buried a bit:

> A capsule is a Rust struct and associated functions. Capsules interact with each other directly, accessing exposed fields and calling functions in other capsules. Trusted platform configuration code initializes them, giving them access to any other capsules or kernel resources they need. Capsules can protect internal state by not exporting certain functions or fields.

> ...

> Rust’s language protection offers strong safety guarantees. Unless a capsule is able to subvert the Rust type system, it can only access resources explicitly granted to it, and only in ways permitted by the interfaces those resources expose. However, because capsules are cooperatively scheduled in the same single-threaded event loop as the kernel, they must be trusted for system liveness. If a capsule panics, or does not yield back to the event handler, the system can only recover by restarting.

I take it from the present discussion that that might not be as good of an idea as they think.

Worth noting that they also have process isolation on top, but it doesn’t seem to be motivated by any potential insecurity of the type system.
"It might be worth getting a VPN if you use sketchy WiFi often, or want to bypass geo-blocking or restrictive firewalls. But remember that you’re trusting the VPN provider with all your traffic."

I never understand this false dichotomy - especially in a forum which is named ... let me check ... "hacker news".

Just set up your own.

It costs almost nothing to run a EC2 instance in the region of your choice (or at some other provider like GCS or whatever). There are keystroke-by-keystroke instructions everywhere on setting this up.

Extra points for adding the extremely trivial and also very low cost steps of signing up under a corporate name and removing your personal identity from the account altogether.

Some more extra points for multiplying the almost-zero-cost by 3 or 4 or 5 and spinning up extra copies of your endpoint in multiple regions (or even providers) and manually (or automatically) switching between them.

You don't need to trust anyone - adjust your threat model all the way up to "near nation state" (in the case of Amazon or GCS) and assume these actors could already discern all of your Internet traffic even if you weren't doing business with them.

Christ.
Highlighting is meant to create "visual handles" on the code so your eyes can quickly jump to beginning/end of function/loop to figure out the scope of the comment. If you put the comment first , it's like replacing the floor numbers in an elevator with the warning signs. At most , you'd highlight just the word "WARNING:" or "TODO:" etc. Anything more is clutter

It is when when you have to. And it isn't like being underwater. You pretty much close your eyes and go to a different place. And like I said. Pills help a lot.

And I had practiced (sitting at my desk) once I knew what had to be done and really struggled. No doubt, once they said I could breathe I spent a few minutes gasping for air.

But I have been shooting hoops for about 45 minutes everyday in the driveway for months. So my cardio is way better than the first time I had to do this. This time will be a picnic. The nice thing about radiation is they let you pick what music you want. Being the horrible person I am I use it as a way to introduce the radiation techs to new music.

That too seems familiar. I'm not sure if I am hyper or not I used to be but I think I outgrew it finally but it took decades.

The ultra-sedentary lifestyle seems very accurate. I make a plan for example study for my CCNA and here I am six month later finally doing it. This is with daily reminders to myself, set alarms, notes, collecting study material etc. not just thinking but some prep.

And when I am in the zone I tend to overdo it often way too much detail. Brevity is not my forté.

Self medicating with caffeine seemed to be working it would help me focus even during the day. But I think it contributed to my fatty liver I never had it before or after my energy drink addiction. Now it's one cup of coffee per day max.
Maybe what would work is some sort of show/hide comments. That is, at a keystroke be able to flip the contrast on comments to read them, then reverse it to look at the code.
We Are Not Robots
If you like this area of study I recommend studying object relations and reification.

Object relations is all about how we strive for consistency in how we observe the world. It helps explain how people react and understand things.

Reificaction is also a really cool tool to bring in since when people go around repeating some thing.

Hm, like "gig economy". Like you're supposed to sit there and just accept this loaded concept, which some may believe implies accepting falsehoods, let me explain:

Gig Economy: As if, you're powerless to shape environment. No statute could be created to make employement / labor more fair and stable (let alone generous). You can't influence it, analyze it, criticize it, lobby, vote. Somehow there isn't enough wealth to give everyone a living wage. Don't even bother. Let's imply the systems to fix it don't already exist - even when they do - and it could be done by the end of the year, a few months?

Reification is amazing because it's all about injecting life into abstract concepts. It's where we create and give meaning to new words - it's what comes before illusory truth repetition.

And it's amazing how things shift. For instance, USA - one big thing that makes us famous is big, fat paychecks. But today if you read the news and hear people speak, it's as if there's an implicit acceptance it's okay to give corporations welfare and consistency by the way of our laws, but not reciprocate by giving it to the workers?

Then sometimes you read that having better employment conditions and wages are "socialist"? Lol? You could say: Nope, capitalism is all about huge pay checks. We're sharing this success we created as a private collective of workers. And you're very welcome!

(And by the way, you all pay taxes that shore up the system, you're welcome for that too, as you're strengthening the system and helping downtrodden people you don't even know, you amazing humanist you)

When someone says "Gig economy", go "Wait a second, who said it was okay to accept that, and why are you referring to gigs as employement?", then you can say, "I define employment as pensioned, salaried, position paid enough to comfortably support a family 4"

Perhaps one could repeat "living wage" about 3 times every time they here "gig economy". Why tolerate anything less than comfort, stability and dignity for us? As if we lack the moral collective conscience and intelligence to do it? Lol?
Why object-relational mapping makes me sad
>> The predictive model output the anxiety, using reasoning like “if you talk, people will hate you, and the prospect of being hated should make you anxious – therefore, anxiety”, but not any of the intermediate steps.

That really makes it sound like poor Richard was some kind of robot with an AI that used some kind of machine learning algorithm to build models etc.

It sounds a bit silly to be honest, like taking an analogy ("the human mind builds a model of the world"), mashing it up with some currently trendy terminology ("machine learning model") and then running with the result until it's stretched out to an absurd extent and you can't tell what the words mean anymore.

I don't intentional break things just to create crisis, but I have pushed for change that I know highlights problems and forces us to address them. For example, after many acquisitions by our company you could still identify the old companies by the insular cultural characteristics of siloed product teams; I pushed very hard to restructure teams and this required learning how to cumminicate and collaborate with new people. Now we've acquired more companies and (while in hindsight I guess I should have seen this coming) I'm learning this is an ongoing challenge that I treated as a one-off project.
The trouble is with the propagation of poor template systems auto generating relevant comments and new/junior developers writing comments that are just what the code does as opposed to functionally important.
Since this represents the bulk of comments most themes have started to contrast them out so that the actual code is more prominent
But to fix this the author should just find a better contrast for comments in their chosen theme so they are just as readable as code.
The idea you would make comments more prominent and the code harder to read leads me to believe they don't write much code.
