I'm currently close to finishing their course on computer architecture. I'm self-taught; for me, it has been absolutely worth the money. I had learned a bit of architecture on my own, but the course has given me the kind of clarity that would have been very hard to get on my own. The syllabus is really good, it's practical, classes build up on previous classes. That gives you a solid understanding of all the components in a system. When I'd studied on my own, I spent too much time in specific areas that weren't _that_ useful for a software engineer. Oz himself is extremely approachable and the other students are really smart too.

Keep in mind though that it's ~18 hours of classes with ~3 hours of post-class and pre-class work per week. With any class like this, I've found that it's really important to actually do the pre-class and post-class work, especially the practical work -- it reinforces what you've learned in a class, helps you notice the gaps in your understanding and ask better questions.

It has to use an existing system account, yes. You do lose a lot of auditing abilities this way, since you cannot capture the content. For me this is more about establishing a secure way to grant people access to instances, without something like LDAP or SSH CA.

LDAP sends passwords in cleartext over an encrypted channel, I don't like the idea of someone else on the host I'm connecting to being able to read my password. Naturally you can use key based authentication with it.

I know that some people are required by law or regulation to log all these things, but personally I don't see much benefit of such audit logs. All bets are off when someone has local access to a machine. And there's this whole debate about using MitM-proxies for logging and security and the potential security implications they pose.

All that said, step-ca[0] and vault[1] looks really promising to provide some kind of provider independent way to authenticate in a secure manner. You also have teleport[2] but I haven't looked much into it.

Why is it such a big problem that you have to pay more than $7 for a single word .com? Is it just that it feels unfair to you for someone to be profiting like this?

I’ve been more than happy to buy domains from these squatters, they’re usually willing to accept prices far lower than the value I can extract from said domains.

In the end I think Pine Phone actually does more for open mobile software development than Purism. Rather than sponsoring a new mobile OS effort built mostly from scratch (Pure OS) financed from selling a limmited number of expensive devices, the Pine Phone provides a cheap and accessible platform for all the existing mobile OS efforts (Sailfish OS, Ubuports, Plasma Mobile, Maemo Leste, etc.). As far as I can tell as being part of the Sailfish & Maemo community, this is working quite nicely with a lot of interest and work being done by community members to get Sailfish OS and Memo Leste running on the Pine Phone (and also the Fxtec Pro, another nice new reasonably open device with a hardware keyboard).
The "domain squatting" meme is intellectually dishonest and based on envy. People who buy zillions of domains must be allowed if people are allowed to buy as many stamps, boxes of paper, cars, jet skis or houses as they wish. It's called freedom, property rights and being consistent. If you want one of their domains that they registered and paid for before you so badly, inquire if they will sell it; if they choose to or not is their choice, and you are not entitled to it simply because you want it.
They actually said anti "non European", not anti-US. And it is anti-US for the very practical reason that FAANG and the rest, are all gigantic US corporations that consistently keep pushing the limits of EU regulations, abuse market dominance and won't listen to advisory rulings until years later it becomes law and they scream bloody free market.

It's not like many EU companies do that. And when they do, they also get fined, but they don't cry about it as much.

Society has plenty of trust functions. If you can’t rely on them, it’s not unreasonable to think that your blockchain evidence won’t help you either.

Suppose you post your finding generally, then I see it, and post it to the blockchain timestamped as my own. Then you say, “hey, I was first”. The blockchain is bad here because it’s incomplete.

If we mandate that only the blockchain can determine truth, then, if I really want to own that claim, I can hit you with a wrench until I have the private key, and now I am the owner of truth.

Trustless societies suck. We should be trying to increase social trust.

I usually get them wrapped in a thick piece of cardboard, a few inches longer than the book so an impact to the corners of the package doesn't damage the book. It works pretty well.
That doesn’t really explain the implementation. How would you know that two domains are owned by the same person without completely revamping the role of registrars?

There were devices before the iPhone with multi-touch, but that doesn’t matter. Being first isn’t always all it’s cracked up to be if you can’t market it to the world.

This comment is really on point. systemd has been creating solutions for non-issues for a while. Perhaps to justify the developers' paychecks.

I'm sorry but that's just ridiculous: we give every applicant we speak to feedback and not once has anybody "got into a fight with us".

Line addressing in Vim, and the history behind it
I'd focus on what platform you like working in.

As a backend dev that has built a few mobile apps in Android and iOS, I hated wait for code to build and deploy to mobile phones. I hated trying to track down errors that only happen on certain devices or tweaking the UI for each phone screen. I hated the annual upgrade monkey dance to support the new version of iOS or Android.

If you switch languages or platforms, you may take a pay hit while you ramp up or you might can get lucky and find a company that will pay full price you to learn the tooling.

Typically, there will be an opportunity cost of learning swift instead of getting paid to do what you know. If it takes 200 hours of learning and you earn $50/hr, that will set you back $10k in lost time.

Don't change because of money. Change because you're bored of react.
The only things I would consider: what do you love to build?

After a lot of web and APIs dev (NodeJS, Go, Rust, VueJS) I'm now building the native apps of my project (https://bloom.sh).

I find mobile development (especially iOS) very frustrating, the ecosystems are really closed and platforms are not focused on empowering developers but growing their profits and closing more and more their walled garden.

The only 2 reasons I've not abandoned mobile development are:

1) Flutter, a fresh air in UI development, whether it be the simplicity, the tools or the ecosystem.

2) the possibility to build offline first apps.

If you only care about the iOS ecosystem, then sure. Swift is great, a lot of great support from Xcode and a bunch of tools around it.

I did the opposite. I moved from native iOS to React Native for iOS only to React Native for iOS and Android.

It is definitely more complicated to do React Native for now, if you need to do anything that touched the native frameworks/hardware, so it definitely helps to have the native experience.

Finally, I would say that if you are into learning more iOS and getting the native feel, go for it, it will be a fun trip. And after a year or two, you can decide if you want to keep going with it, switch back to something else, or go with React Native (or anything else, I just have more experience with it to talk about it).
You would embed the hash in another cryptocurrency, like in Bitcoin.

There is be a certain degree of irony to English going through the Great Vowel Shift† (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Vowel_Shift) and then having a German dynasty which manages to distort the language again††.

† Which made English less-Germanic sounding, at least to my ears.

†† In my humble opinion modern British English sounds marginally more Germanic than American English.
Grip matters a great deal for a calligraphic hand. Take a chisel-tip felt pen and try to write sensibly with the broad part of the chisel, and you’ll quickly discover a few things: why calligraphic hands look like they do, how to form letters with a mixture of line widths, and how your hand has to hold the pen in order to produce legible text.

Incidentally there’s this often implicit belief that people’s handwriting was better in the
past than it is now. I mostly don’t believe this—there’s just a sample bias towards only showing the nice writing that was often made by professional scribes. And some scribes had shitty hands, too.
"More than $7" is disingenuous, since $100,000 is also "more than $7".

Is the alternative 100% top-down central-managed solution to ensure no externalization happens ever? In theory that's appealing (especial from the view from Chomsky's academic ivory tower), but then in practice every time it's been tried it hasn't worked well at all.

Chomsky is smart, but not very useful because

You're literally banned from shipping non-WKWebKit browsers on iOS though...
No one is arguing that it is illegal (at least at the moment), but it is a really shitty thing to do. As anyone with even a semi-common last name, it is basically impossible to find a TLD using it. Not because people are using them for anything, but because someone decided that they could extort money from people by registering it and just sitting on it until someone is crazy enough to pay the ransom.
Microsoft went through an extended process with the DOJ about almost this exact thing in the day of Netscape Navigator -- using market power in operating systems to try to gain advantage in the browser market. That's unethical and generally illegal under antitrust law.
I don't think it's even the fault of the JS frameworks rendering time, it's all the network latency between asynchronous requests and assets loading in that makes modern websites feel janky.
True. I'm really saying it would be silly to build a system like that with so little memory and storage. A friend of mine just build a 3950X, 128 gigs RAM, 4 TB SSD (2 NVME, 2 SATA.) The thing is a monster.

Better pay is imho not true.

Maybe the lower bound might be higher, but from my experience working in FAANG/IB/HedgeFunds the pay for normal SWEs (web frontend+backend, fullstack, whatever you wanna call it) was always higher than iOS devs. (most of the time much higher).

> If you're using a generic ssm-user (and going to ssh so there's no ssm logs of the commands) then wouldn't you not be able to distinguish the commands (say in auditd) of two people logging in at the same time?

But that requires auditing directly on EC2, right? (You can indeed sync the logs somewhere, but that diminished the beauty of out of box logging)

> I'm reminded of RDS which does not store enough logs

AFAIK, it's not possible with their current implementation to accomplish this. We just swallowed that it won't work and for the sake of security created seperate users.
I can see "user-friendly" distributions like Ubuntu becoming early-adopters of homed.
My advice would be to focus on iOS as a platform, and not as a matter of React vs native vs Swift vs Java. In the end, you could write an equally amazing (or distasteful) app using React as you could using Swift. Where most developers fall short is understanding the capabilities and constraints of iOS; they aim for the greatest common divisor when it comes to functionality.

While a more senior developer could mentor you, once you understand the platform inside-out, you become more of an authority, and that opens you up to amazing possibilities irrespective of what language or framework you're using.

Once you put your podcast onto Spotify they give you better info on your listeners and subscribers and number of listens (at least the ones listening on Spotify). You don't lack any data.

We've refused to put any of our 8 podcasts on Spotify for various reasons. One of the reasons is that they will accept money from paying customers and from ad co's for non-paying listeners, but simply want our content for free. Ummm... no thanks.
Hmm, I seem to do a hybrid of the dynamic tripod and the lateral tripod. I hold "grip" the pen using the side of my thumb like in the lateral tripod, but I guide the tip with my index finger like in the dynamic tripod.

I also don't rest any of my fingers on the paper. Instead I rest the side of my hand on the paper.

I remember as a child I didn't like the feeling of pulling on the pad of my index finger when I gripped with my fingers (e.g. the dynamic grips) which is why I used the lateral style grip.

Apple is a walled garden
Some people are generally good at doing software development and they choose the platform based on how well it pays. iOS is certainly way up there both in terms of demand and pay. If that's what matters to you, switching should give you a bump in pay.
Amazon, Sony Skipping Mobile Congress Owing to Virus
I'm not the author and I've never used this library, but I think your comment is unnecessarily dismissive anyway. You're not necessarily wrong, but I feel there's ample room in the space between wanting to hack something together and built according to this week's best practices.

Seems to me this tool sits squarely in that first category, enabling rapid prototyping at a lower cost, while still being flexible enough to allow for a wide range of capabilities. I don't get the feeling at all from the introduction that this is meant to compete with Vue, React, Angular et al. but rather be a complement – the tool to reach for when you have an idea and want to hash it out without being encumbered by process.

For what it's worth, I work like this all the time. I have a collection of simple utility functions that I'll include in an html file – F5 is my build process. It's useless for building anything serious, that's when I reach for more structure. I can definitely see something like Alpine replace my homegrown tools for this.

Groovy 3.0 Released
> I just don't understand why people run windows.

I've used Linux for about the same time and honestly, I understand it completely. I would switch, were it not for muscle memory and for the fact that at least 50% of my work involves systems-level development for Linux (mainly embedded stuff, so a lot of cross-compiling). In the last five or six years I've come to dread the Linux desktop and its constant churn of rewrites and UX "improvements".

I have a Windows machine that I use for work the other half of the time and honestly... it's great. Yeah, the occasional update breaks some fringe feature. But the chances of something like waking up to the announcement that Microsoft is removing desktop icons in the next update and you can just install this third-party application for it (which will break with every update) are practically zero.

Microsoft puts out a lot of broken stuff (some of which slowly morphs into non-broken, useful stuff over time, e.g. Powershell), but you can mostly be assured that, if something works today, it'll work ten years from now, modulo some registry hacks. That's incredibly valuable.

I really don't care about things like UI consistency and whatnot -- what I do care about is stability and functionality.

Edit: tbh, the main reason why I'm not switching today is that I don't really trust this whole OS-as-a-service model. If it were Windows 2000 instead of Windows 10, I wouldn't think twice before switching, but these are different times.

(More edit: please realize that I'm the same person who posted this reply: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22288917 , yeah?)

There is roughly 1.6 trillion dollars in student loan debt owed. 40% ($640 billion) of that will be defaulted on. There won't be any large derivatives markets set up to eat it like there were with the mortgage lending crisis.
