How to Be a Good Developer Without a CS Degree
I've been trying out the Firefox picture-in-picture feature for a few months now and its evolved into something I use every day.

I don't know whether it's right for a browser to add that feature rather than the OS, but Ubuntu doesn't have any plans to add similar functionality so I don't really care.

As far as making it opt-in I dont really understand your reasoning. If people want to use the feature then it's there, if not then they probably won't notice anything is even different. Do you feel similarly about things like reader mode?
I read the blog, but it doesn't really expand on why SHA224/384 aren't vulnerable to that attack, can you explain (or link to some place that does?)
> spread slander you can do something about that.
He is threatening, but haven't done that yet. I know the one who is doing.
> just get clicks

Just because you have one goal (in this case traffic) doesn't mean your actions dont have other effects.

Generate clickbait that, for example, leverages the distrust the public has in a group, or is based on the desire to see someone/some group get their comeuppance, or the desire to hear tales about how your group is being exploited, etc, and you start manipulating public opinion about those things.

Fox News, for example, started conservative but far less radical...I dont know if they were radicalized by the success of their own success by this sort of manipulation, but it is certainly an option.

Once you have success at manipulation, even if that wasn't actually your intent, a financial incentive appears to MAKE it your intention.
Lack of affect can be a sign of depression or past trauma. Supressing emotional reactions to avoid triggering other negative effects of these things can become ingrained.

To put it another way: You have become comfortably numb.
The insurance company is effectively acting as a giant escrow account on behalf of the employees/retirees.

The employer pays into the account at whatever rate is required to fully fund retirements. The insurance company manages those funds. If the employer goes bankrupt, the funds are not accessible by raiders/PE firms.

I think I'm missing something. How is this different than the way emauth is currently doing it?
Yes, Pendo. The site is just nodejs and a slightly modified html template that someone posted here a bit ago.
I’m explicitly not making any claims about the affect of parenthood on performance in saying that in the absence of any evidence, it is as likely to make you better as it is worse. The burden of proof lies with the GP, who sees it as a risk.

That ending scene was pure fucking genius. It transformed that character for me. That crazy was believable, and I can't wait to see what they do next.

Thank you, very interesting geography. Any theories on how the river broke through the mountain range, i.e. the timeline for the erosion?

From my speculative chair, it looks like the river existed before the ranges.
Yeah, or things like Mastodon instances, moving from twitter to Mastodon has been the best media consumption decision I've made in the past couple of years.

I didn't notice how bad twitter actually was until I was away from it for a while. The constant noise of advertisements/manipulation feels to me like the hum of an AC, your brain filters it out after a while and you convince yourself it doesn't bother you, but only after it's turned off, do you realize how bad it actually was.
A few emails forward in the thread Linus explains though why we don’t need to worry much about this attack in practice: https://marc.info/?l=git&m=148787287624049&w=2

This argument sounds sound to me.

Linux kernel is just one kernel among many.

I bet that the pre-C11 memory semantics on Linux kernel aren't the same as e.g. on HP-UX kernel, across all supported hardware platforms.

It is also ironic that Java and .NET did it before C and C++, with their models being adopted as starting point.
It's sad to me that the social discourse on gender has become so combative. I think many people on all sides of the debate feel like feminism is a zero-sum movement, where the way to raise women up is to tear men down.

In practice, I feel like gender inequality can hurt both men and women in different ways. More gender equality allows everyone more freedom to choose their own path in life and express their true selves without being forced into a set of stereotypical molds.
i feel the outrage, however the whois is public data. enforcing some usage restriction is beyond silly. if you actually want to restrict it, require a login to make a query. make those logins cost money so that you have a valid contract.

>How is that value determined though?

By the real profits of the companies in question according to standard accounting rules.

It's not "perceived value" or "demand" or anything else that can be affected by speculation or hype. It's literally the units of money produced by the company that issued the stock.

Buffet's rule of thumb says that ultimately the value matters. Investors and banks can play whatever games they like trading securities, building new financial instruments, speculation, etc, but ultimately the value of stocks is tied to the amount of money produced as profit, and eventually the market corrects.

So far he's been right.
Any tips for transitioning? I've seen people recommend various stuff like containers and other stuff but I never saved their recommendation as I was happy with chrome at the time.
I've also been a software engineer for many years. If you're spending more time talking to people than coding, you aren't a programmer anymore, you're actually more of a business analyst.
I agree with this. Kids spark a new sense of purpose and being.

A close friend and family member lost a 6 month old baby late last year through no fault of their own. Little guy slept so deep he stopped breathing.

Being so close to such a truly gut wrenching loss gives me a new perspective everyday.

The last time I had something even remotely like that was when a family member was scheduled to be in the Twin Towers, on the top floor, the morning of 9/11/2001. Through a total fluke, this person didn’t go to work that day. Odd, because he was the focus of this meeting and really should have been there - rather, he decided to hang out with his kids as he had been traveling too much. He’s living on borrowed time and admits that every September.

All this to say - the worst part of modern technology and society is the ability to escape from reality, in my opinion.

You, your kids, and the rest of your loved ones will be dead one day. Probably when you dont expect it.

Putting the phone down and spending valuable time with them is the best decision you can make at any point in your day.
Archive.org modifies the memories it stores. But I don't find much irony in the article being deleted. It seems more appropriate as part of a larger article on Ghost in the Shell. It's an aspect of an imaginary world not something that stands alone in the context of general shared experience. An accurate understanding requires boiling all the oceans of Ghost in the Shell. As a standalone, it's more like an academic paper.

Incidentally, to the degree there's irony here, archive.org's modification of the content seems more relevant than it's deletion. Forgotten isn't wrong, it's just forgotten.
Couldn't that have been a coincidence? or good research by the specific recruiter? or a recruiter that is cheating at his/her job?

That would be a tough one. There's no information which part of HTML is controls. Maybe they may hardcode this information for some popular players, but that would break as soon as for example Youtube decided to change the layout a bit.
Every food-stuff solution is a problem with a perpetually growing population, as encroaching on land and increasing use of resources is certain. In fact every person represents a carbon footprint and that extends beyond just food, but everything they consume, all the infrastructure they use. That is the unsustainable part of the equation. Strangely the mainstream view is shifting away from the GDP as the cradle of economic prosperity, and yet, policy is still to double-down on growth.

The only way to reliably (and amicably) decimate global population growth, and therefore growth in the West, is eliminating global poverty and allowing universal access to contraceptives everywhere. If you achieve this, it doesn't matter what people eat or do; and arguably, it only matters currently in terms of how it impacts the pace of environmental destruction, not whether or not it gets destroyed.

It just doesn't get into peoples heads that more converts to green slime will not save the world.

I think that was the original point, yes.

Here's some good reading in case anybody believes this kind of stuff is new. They had it down to a science nearly 100 years ago.

"it's like facebook, but for [X]"
It means if someone you want to impersonate uses the Web Of Trust, i.e. their key is signed by other people whose keys have been signed the same way, you can generate a GPG key for which all of these signatures are still valid.

For example, if an attacker gains access to a victim email account, they could send to their contacts a "trusted" key (as explained above) and then use it to send signed documents to the victim's contacts.

This would defeat an adversary "paranoid" enough to check a key signature, but not paranoid enough to obtain a clear explaination/confirmation of why the key changed...
If you think of a standard user:

- Do they really need to see* http:// or https:// if immediately to the left is the icon which indicates secure/insecure (which is more than just "protocol is https or not")?

- Do they really care to see* if they are at www.site.com or m.site.com or site.com or do they just want to know they are at site.com which they expect to be as they make their purchase or log in?

* noting that bookmarking, copying, or editing the URL operate on the full URL and this is just a visual change otherwise

And voila now the leftmost (first) text they read is not a bunch of jargon it's the thing people look at the URL for the most.

That you couldn't think of any reason tells me you didn't try not that you disagreed with the reasons and had an actual lesson to share about why. Again: "it changed, change bad" people impossible to distinguish from "it changed, actually bad".

What is the ceiling for how good (i.e., "close to generating idiomatic Rust") it could get? Given the differing semantics, it seems like it should be nearly impossible to generate anything close to idiomatic Rust, but I know very little about mechanically translating between programming languages and I would be delighted to be incorrect.
Also curious, most of what I’ve read about FMCW radar mentions single-digit millisecond latencies.
This is a cool app. I can't seem to find any more info about it. Does it have an API? Browser plugin? Open source?

McClatchy just had pension trouble. So does my home state of Illinois. So does this company, apparently.

You seem to think it's possible to just magic a large-scale change in human behavior into existence. It isn't. I think DC+social security is a pretty fair compromise. You're never going to starve if you totally screw up. There's also Medicare to help pay medical expenses. So the worst-case scenario isn't awful. On the other hand, if you want a comfortable retirement with a nice house, travel, etc., you need to be a good steward of a DC plan.

I also think having people with a little more skin in the game (the stock market) will help to tamp down this tiresome class politics about how the 1% is screwing everyone over. Pensions are big investors, it's not fair that some investors (pensioners) get bailed out in a bad market environment, whereas others (DC plan participants) don't. Don't forget, pensions don't magically create money, they have to invest and rely on the whims of the market just like DC plan participants.

Plus, there are good DC plans. The better ones opt you into a target date retirement fund and automatically invest in a reasonable basket of securities so you don't have to figure it out yourself. Human Interest is a great example of a simple, no-frills plan I've seen. My wife's Schwab account is too complicated.

I get that DB might be better in theory but I fail to see how, given the constraints of reality, and human nature, and politics, we aren't going to get a repeat of the current DB fiasco over and over again. Just look at the incentives.
So... everybody knows something?
What's the difference, practically speaking?
Most Amiga games with parallax used dual playfields mode. AFAIK, you couldn't combine that with EHB.

Shadow of The Beast used dual playfield graphics, not EHB. Agony too, for gameplay. Title screen etc could be EHB.

Actually it's even worse than that: signature creation time is added by the signer so it's totally under control of the attacker. IMHO all SHA-1 based signatures should be ignored.

Couldn't we make the same argument for an airliner:

X cubic meters of CO2 divided by 200 odd passagers in an airliner.

Vs.

Y cubic meters of NOx/SO2/CO2 divided by that person and however purchased the freight goods in the container.

We could argue that the cargo ship would sail irrespective of that passenger, but we could equally make the same reasoning for people buying last minute seats that would otherwise fly empty.

Without doing the maths this risks making very fortunate people feel good about themselves and distracts from corporation practices that are orders of magnitude more harmful.

Again I do not have the numbers but what is the carbon impact of halting all german flights versus decomissioning all german coal plants?

I'm from a long line of farmers. My dad was born and raised on a farm and went off to business school in the 1960s, had a career in business and (tried to) return to farming in the mid 1980s. By then the corporatization of farming had already begun and was in full swing. Economics was constantly demanding larger and larger economies of scale. The "paltry" 200 acres of my grandmother's farm wasn't sufficient, nor was the second farm my father bought. It was impossible to afford a combine for a farm that small. He ended up paying the neighboring farm (1000+ acres) to do the harvest for him, cutting his margins even lower. He got out of farming by the 1990s and went into day trading.

> The world changes and sometimes it sucks but that is how progress is made.

It isn't progress. It's mechanization. Mechanization demanded by economics. Our food is lower quality (especially fruits and vegetables) and full of pesticides and antibiotics, the ground water and soil are depleted. With the ease of global shipping, farmers compete on a global market which amplifies competition even more. And if people in Timbuktu don't like the taste of my apples, who cares. But hey, food is cheap, ubiquitous and fewer people have to be farmers. But what that really means is bigger profits for fewer people, more environmental overhead, and throwing lots of people out of a line of work that stretches back literally ten thousand years.

Well, it's more than that. With defined contribution you can invest in a reasonably diversified pool of assets and, while there are no guarantees, you will most likely come out OK over a long period of time.

The bigger problem is that unsophisticated investors may overly invest in risky assets that don't pan out or they don't invest at all/borrow against savings/etc.
Virtue signaling can be a lot of things. It can be insisting that a bike be painted shale blue to prove that you have a trendy sense of aesthetics.

On a side note, I’m surprised you are calling out the right wing for being anti virtue signaling. In my opinion, people who name themselves the Moral Majority are the biggest virtue signallers of them all.

Step 2 has been happening concurrently, and pretty much since the start of the project. See https://github.com/immunant/c2rust/tree/master/c2rust-refact.... It is just a lot tougher to get right, so it gets less publicity.
I feel you. My parent are same way. The constant comparison and criticism has driven me anxious and depressed. I am from Pakistan, and this is pretty common for our community.

The worst part is that they went above and beyond for our education. So now I constantly hear about how they sacrificed their pleasure for us and how we are so ungrateful. They complain that I cannot take a little bit of constructive criticism. Which makes me feel even more guilty. Perhaps I am too sensitive.

I am pretty successful, more successful than most people my parents are actually friends with. I support them financially more than most of my friends. But, of course, that's not good enough for them. Lately, my mom stopped talking with me because I defended my son against their criticism.

In our culture, parents and elders are like God, we are not supposed to say anything back. From childhood, they start programming our heads with stuff like children owe so much to parents, there is heaven under mother's feet, and a lot other such sayings.

I have been to therapists for this and they all recommended that I distance myself from my parents but this is something I just cannot do. They provided food, shelter, the best education. They were there, it is not like they abandoned me. So how can I leave them.

There is a lot of support and literature about parents who abandoned their children or were physically abusive but you don't hear songs about parents who emotionally abused their kids. I don't know how to deal with this.
This ever-so-slightly simplifies the calculations. The pattern of dates has a period of 400 years. Your first day of year calculation can ignore the year divisible by 400 leap year rule if you start in the year after.

Windows open more quickly now than before. A few versions ago, it had become unbearably slow (I'm an FF user since Camino died), and I stuck to using tabs only, but 72 seems to have caught up again. I estimate that it's around 0.3s slower than Chrome on my machine.

- While it is against the guidelines, it’s unfortunate that the guidelines seem to never be up for discussion or evolution. Any discussion of this is met with swift downvoting and flagging.

- In this case, I believe it’s important to call a spade a spade and stand by my original comment. Unfortunately I find that despite everyone’s best intentions, the HN community’s steadfast commitment to productive discussion leads to cases such as this wherein the discussion is far from productive, yet members of the community are free to rationalize their perspectives and opinions under the guise of further “productive discussion.” To me, it’s a necessary counterbalance to call this out when it happens and to avoid the trap of inviting further rationalization of toxic commentary under the auspices of so-called productive discussion.

Community members should be held responsible for their commentary and its potential negative impact on on others within the community.
Or both. Most times it gets paid back, but twice a year something falls through and the parents can't pay it back. The child is industrious / saver / works an after school job and manages to save about $200 every six months, but can never build up a long term balance. It's one of the things that can make growing up in a family in poverty feel like trying to escape a gravity well.

I've seen this play out over couple years between my younger brother (after I'd moved out) and my parents. I see the pattern repeat with my sister and her son. He, my nephew (13), stayed with my wife and me over Christmas. He said he had been making money with after school jobs and hoped to be able to save enough for a car when he's 16, but wasn't sure if that was going to be possible because his Mom and step Dad have to borrow (or "borrow") money from him every month.

I didn't tell him yet but I decided there that in 2 or 3 years I'm going to start fixing up a good 1st car for him.
It boils down to this:
You take a bowling ball, and put it 1 meter stick away from you at zero velocity compared to you. Assume that at this distance, no forces are exchanged between you and the ball.
You wait a billion billion gazillion years, take your meter stick again and measure the distance between you and the ball, and notice it is now 2 meters away.
It is the distance between you and the ball that has grown.

Note that the ball has not grown twice its size. The sizes of atoms and molecules have not changed (as they have mechanisms to keep them exactly the size they are, despite space growing). It is only when there are no mechanisms or forces to keep distances between objects fixed, they seem to drift apart very slowly. The question the article addresses, is whether that growth is accelerating or not.
