It's interesting how you count organizational complexity, incompetence and (minor) technological shortcomings as a reason to create a whole new TLD.

It's convenient for the brand, but not a good reason to pollute the global namespace, especially as it sets the expectation that every organization worth something should have one.

> the existing generic namespaces like .com are heavily mined out

True, and the proper solution is to clear some up. The name authorities need some shaking up. Squatting should be made illegal/against terms and actually prosecuted/applied. Registering domains by 100s or even 100'000s you should not get discounts - you should get unaffordable price hikes. On ccTLDs maybe people could get a few free domains and then have to pay for everything extra?
A great time saver for me was simply setting up better bash history and search capabilities[1].

I wrote a wrapper function, sbh (search bash history) that allows me to input date strings like "2 months ago", or "last week", which narrows the search. Linux 'date' function with --date string arg is pretty powerful[2].

If the message was silently censored, there's no reason to believe that the list manager is claiming that it was antisemitic.

Here's another possible explanation: maybe the message was posted by an individual who is generally banned from Debian mailing lists.

Come to that, maybe the same individual is the author of all the articles on the oddly-anonymous "Debian Community News" site.

For all the big cryptocurrencies, the price assume that you can buy unlimited hashing power if you have the money. That's obviously not true. Once you have rented all available hardware, having more money to spend won't help.

That's what the "NiceHash-able" column is for. To put it simply, if it is less than 100%, you are going to have trouble renting enough hashing power, and conducting the attack will be impossible in practice, or at least much more expensive than the listed price.
My most recent one was that 3 minutes after someone else would SSH into my workstation, my X11 session would crash, but when I would SSH into my workstation, there was no error.

It turns out the default configuration for systemd-logind is to sandbox it away from networking; it's an NIS setup where I am, but I had a local passwd entry for myself so that my home directory would be local. There was a 3 minute timeout on something NIS related, which would cause an error. Then systemd-logind would restart system-wide, including my local login.

I imagine so. I think my question (maybe I missed the mark) was is that does as much as that leak into HN (where I consider the level of discourse far higher than the Internet as a whole) as much for other topics?
Short: Firefox with sync enabled for desktop and iOS browsing. I also save exported .html/.json backups to Google Drive. I use Instapaper for saving news articles.

Long: After many years of many systems, I now use FF bookmarks on desktop as my base for managing and organizing. A few months ago I pared down my collection significantly but still have a few thousand links. I only sync across FF using the built-in sync. Used Xmarks previously for Chrome/FF/Safari but that got too complicated and broke once they shut the service down. If I need to sync elsewhere I can just export from FF.

I utilize the built-in "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder for work/frequently accessed pages. I have a "To Sort" subfolder in there for bookmarks that I still need to categorize. I make folders for things that I'm researching or articles I want to read on desktop.

In the main "Bookmarks Menu" I have about 25 folders for different subject areas like Business/Employment/Money, Design, Development, Travel, etc. I have one folder where I keep track of accounts I have logins to. I have a "Buy" folder with a few different subfolders of brands or stores that I like.

Finally, there's a "Mobile Bookmarks" folder that contains bookmarks saved on FF iOS. This makes it easy to save things quickly on iOS and organize later on desktop. If you use Safari on iOS you can easily bookmark in FF by clicking the share button, selecting FF iOS (must be installed) and choosing "Bookmark This Page". You don't even have to exit Safari :)

In general I bookmark because I like curating all these unique areas of my internet life. I like having a list of personally vetted links that I can go back to when I need them, after my brain has moved on and my browser history has been cleared.

All miners connect to pools using a protocol called stratum. This is JSON piped over TCP with newline terminations. There is no authentication for this protocol and no encryption. You can simply intercept the communication here and have all the miners on a pool actually mine for your replacement pool, and nobody will ever catch on until its far too late.

> If you mean the traffic of mining pools communicating their solutions to the pool's "mother brain", those are already cryptographically attached to a solution that pays out to specified addresses.

That's not correct in practice. There's no authentication of the work going to the miner at all, so an attacker can just change the destination before the miner even sees the work.

We'll have to see what license they apply to the binaries. As the copyright holder, they wouldn't have to use (L)GPL. If the binaries are redistributable, then maybe someone will mirror them. Otherwise, people can build them from source, as many Linux distributions already do. If the source license were changed to prevent that, then I think we'd see a hostile fork pretty quickly from the last free and open source version.
I'm not sure whether GP refers to joining phrases up (like "end-to-end" or "idea-to-silicon" or "one-stop-shop") or using it instead of a comma ("I also spearheaded the creation of Swift - a programming language that powers Apple’s ecosystem - and led a team at Tesla that applies a wide range of tech in the autonomous driving space"). The former is just a matter of taste (but IMO has a teensy flavour of "marketing" about it), the latter is totally fine too.
I don’t see how it’s Apple’s strategy to pull mobile use cases back to the Mac - that seems to be something you are inferring but I don’t see anything that demonstrates it.

Your observations about people switching platforms seem accurate.

However the security strategy Apple is adopting seems to me to be nothing to do with mobile, and everything to do with a globally connected world where personal data is valuable and subject to attack.

The fact that it originated on iOS has nothing to do with it being mobile, and much more to do with it being a clean slate where they didn’t have to deal with legacy insecure apps.

It seems unclear to me why you’d think that major creative apps haven’t been successful on iOS because of the security model when the processing power, storage, input method, and screen size all seem like they have much more influence over this and are only just now becoming viable for these apps.

I also note that you are increasing the conflation of ‘major creative apps’ with ‘Tools for thought’.

The purpose of the examples would not be to keep those out of tracking whom you'd expect to deactivate (because you are right, it becomes entirely their responsibility once they are actively presented the option), it would be to encourage trust with those who don't really need to be that level of paranoid (but who often are). Much better than the usual "trust us, everything is so incredibly safe that we don't even know why we have the option to deactivate". Most users will take the "incredibly" at face value and not believe it, and they would be right because nothing is ever that safe. But a risk model like "theoretically there could be a bug in that totally innocent feature use counter that accidentally included a random heap sample in the upload that could include sensitive data" would be acceptable to many. Could a liar smooth-talk you with those examples into pressing accept? Sure. But that bad actor could also ignore the setting or not show an option at all.

>[Ubiquiti] products tend to be pretty good quality and ease of use for the rock-bottom prices

Unfortunately, contrary to their wifi gear, Ubiquiti's cameras are very expensive for what they are - I had some cheap Hikvision cameras that were already a few years old and the image quality was way higher than the G3 Bullet cameras (Hikvision had sharper optics, better dynamic range, better H.264 encode, higher bitrate options, better motion detection). Hopefully some of this will change with Ubiquiti's new G4 Bullet cameras when they're released.

The Protect system is also not particularly reliable (I've had occasions where a firmware update to the Protect server has taken out all access via the web UI, the web interface is very prone to totally breaking in a browser even when on the same network - streams stopping, or downloads of clips failing, no API and they use a proprietary and undocumented .ubv container format on disk, so you can't grab the media over SFTP)
Is the ubiquity of "master bathrooms" peculiar to the U.S.?

I don't mean this lewdly, but: I would imagine parents everywhere appreciate the ability to clean up after sex without having to first walk though the house's public areas.
Why every company will soon be ‘AI first’ (Medium)
I live in a 3/1 in the US, and having a 2nd bathroom was on our list, but when it comes down to it, we all end up sacrificing something.

As you mention, an en suite master bathroom would be incredibly nice, and if we remodel, it's _the_ #1 non-negotiable item on the list. Private bathroom for us, 'clean'/separate bathroom for guests/visitors.

My sister lived in a 4/1 with an odd feature: a toilet on a wooden pedestal in the (full-size) basement. No wall around it, not even a curtain. Just sitting there in a corner.

As she put it "you only need it every once in awhile, but when you need that second toilet, you're REALLY GLAD you have it!

I don't find the proliferation of bathrooms/toilets in large houses surprising at all. If I lived in a 4000-5000sqft mansion, I might not mind a 2-3 minute walk to get to my bedroom at night, but I sure as hell don't want to have to do so every time I have to use the facilities. It simply makes sense to have a toilet and sink, at least, near the rooms you use regularly.

It's easy to confuse relative and absolute wealth.

Relative: 1950s USA was easily the richest country in the world, and in history.

Both those things are true.

He has been quite a significant member of a project (Go, or portions there-of, and possible other things I'm not aware of myself) that has impacted people here through their use of the language, and has affected other languages/frameworks less directly.

Leaving Google means he won't be working (at least not directly as he is currently employed to) on that stuff, so the interest is from two angles: what affect might this have on the direction of the projects he is leaving, and what is he moving on to influence next.

Me leaving my current job wouldn't make HN because I don't have any such significance. I'd wager the same could be said of almost everybody, but, demonstrably, not him.
That's applicable to a toy project.

If it is not a toy project then QA testing does not scale because there are thousands if not millions paths that request can flow through the infrastructure based on a user's actions.

That's why it is imperative to augment and nearly replace QA with end-to-end integration tests. Not only that but the integration tests must be funneled though the production gates to have a reasonable assurance that the code works in production configuration -- such as production request/task budgets, production latency and production tracking/tracing.

That in turn requires the test code being gated from production traffic ( which requires infrastructure to support request pinning ) and monitored/instrumented ( requires request tracing ) and actions ( error rate is 77 reqs/second when the test generates 4 req/sec means that the non-test traffic is landing on the test - remove test deploy immediately ).

So we are back to the integration tests nearly a 100% coverage to allow for unattended deploy.

Warren Buffett has often said that one key ingredient to his success is not fearing saying "no" to questionable or borderline opportunities. Most investment firms don't feel comfortable paying people to sit around all day and say "no". It looks like slacking to the bosses. But Buffett has no bosses, so he can say no for a decade if nothing good comes his way. He tunes out the bandwagon if the math isn't there.

The solution seems pretty simple to me: get rid of the HR and recruiters, at least as having much power in deciding who to interview. That's the hiring manager's job. He knows what kind of person he's looking for, so let him make decisions. Why would you let some non-technical person decide who's qualified to be interviews? It makes no sense. At best, have the hiring manager give some very basic things to look for on resumes to the HR person, so they can screen out the people who are obvious wastes of time.

>If we could find a better way, we'd be using it.

It seems to me that the reason it's so bad is because, at many companies, HR people refuse to admit that they're incompetent at hiring technical people, and insist on inserting themselves into the process to a degree which is highly counterproductive. The only thing HR should be doing is helping hiring managers find the people they need, and otherwise staying out of the way. The bulk of the HR person's time should be on other tasks: personnel issues with existing employees, helping new employees get situated, maybe interpersonal issues, etc. The hiring manager can afford to spend an hour a day looking through resumes and giving good ones back to HR to recruit.
