Show HN: React hooks that help you do what you already did with more indirection
This will probably shock you not at all, but I find this way easier to read than Python code. You can’t really compare with Numpy code since the author deliberately avoids loading libraries.

Of course, I’m more familiar with Haskell. The fact you’re more familiar with imperative languages isn’t the argument for readability you think it is.
I like this conceptually, but I don’t think I trust it to be... a reliable opinion.

I got 1.5 / 6. Apparently this means I’m at HIGH risk, which strikes me as pretty stupid. What are other people getting?

Fake and PR security to take away freedom from users is what people are complaining about.
I view the PoW problem as being a subset of a broader problem with otherwise-efficient markets: there are often game-theoretic incentives to be intentionally inefficient. An example from nature is a peacock's tail, wasting resources to signal genetic fitness [0]; an example from consumer products is the Veblen Good [1] (aka conspicuous consumption), where wealth is wasted to signal status.

At minimum, I think we need a carbon tax (ideally paired with a revenue-neutral dividend), which might alter the incentives for crypto mining. But I don't think it would be unreasonable for industrialized nations to ban useless PoW operations outright. While I've read cogent explanations of PoS having game-theoretic shortcomings relative to PoW, given the growth of bespoke ASICs and the capital requirements of modern mining operations, PoW seems to me to be indistinguishable from PoS with extra steps, while also being an ecological nightmare.

>It was such an effort that we only managed to get tests working for the registration and login flow, and only on Firefox ESR. They are frequent broken by changing CSS classes or IDs or the structure of the HTML.

It sounds like you were approaching the end-to-end tests as an add-on and not part of your production code. If your problem is changing selectors, you need to make sure your developers know that changing selectors is going to make the tests fail and you need to equip them to handle it through tooling.

From my view, their pricing is still mostly in the "sticky" area between free and the hassle of pulling out your wallet (or getting accounting) to pay for the service.

They are charging on average $12/mo - to a business with hundreds of thousands of visitors a month, that's sophisticated enough to consider tracking implications, etc. that's indistinguishable from a monetary point of view from $50/mo.
I work on it every day. The earliest commit to the repo is 2010. The engineering team on average over that time is circa ~20 people.

So... Yeah. Thanks for denying my reality I live every day.
I've worked on and around volunteer and open source projects for social and environmental causes and burn out is an issue there too. Often for some of the reasons you mention, other factors are also lack of resources and an inhibility to come to quick decisions and move a project forward, it can feel like you're going nowhere and having the same conversations over and over.

I can tell you why I like it. I'm not a web developer at all and I was recently looking into building a web app, and for me just building something in the gui editor and then looking at the generated code helps me significantly, it is much faster than having to scavenge the docs or google for every single thing I want to do.
>Pensions are by and large unregulated.

Defined benefit pensions have been heavily regulated since ERISA (1974) and PPA (2006).

>Back in the 50's it worked largely well, because people weren't willing to break societal norms.

Back in the 50s, people were barely even getting paid from the pensions. And the population was young, everyone was paying into the funds, instead of receiving from them. And their lives were much shorter. There are consequences to future growth when people start having fewer and fewer children and living more and more years.
Johnny Depp came to my mind as well reading that. Perhaps it's not such an opposite conclusion, though? I don't want to suggest most actors have personal problems, but having listened to a lot of the more successful ones it seems like there's often a void that's yearning to be filled by fame and adulation.
I can't help but wonder if everyone downvoting people preaching personal responsibility are also part of the problem. As a society today (in America at least), we're increasingly condemning those preaching personal responsibility in almost every venue, or at least every liberal venue. There's still some push for personal responsibility amongst conservatives.

In a way, this appears to be a result of recency bias and our collective forgetting that preaching personal responsibility was once the norm in western societies. While I'm an atheist myself, long before there was any government social safety net, the church provided this safety net, but when it did, that safety net came with the expectation of learning lessons like "God helps those that help themselves".

As a society, yes it's important to have empathy for other who have made mistakes. Even Judeo-Christian religion makes room for this lesson through stories like the prodigal son. But you can't just have empathy without accountability unless you're willing to accept that more people will become a burden on the productive than if you have a culture of accountability.

You've got to have a balance between both empathy and accountability and squelching voices promoting accountability, but downvoting for example, throws this balance out of whack.
Tell me about it... as a technical leader at the startup I work on, I would love to be remote and for my team to be remote (we are kind of remote as we are collocated in 2 offices in different countries). But the CEO and HR department do not believe in remote teams. It is the one thing that I struggle with and will change in a heartbeat.

Kali Linux seems to have become popular as an "elite" d00d's distro of choice, for whatever reason. In fact, it is specifically intended as a penetration-testing tool only and not for general-purpose use, because it forgoes some security mitigations that you generally want to keep enabled on your actual systems.

Your writing alternates between being overly complicated and being so casual that it's vague. Can you rephrase in plain language?
Be really careful with these surveys.

The problems of these, among other things:

- mixing up burnout risk with burnout

- mixing up burnout with physical or mental fatigue

- not serving any purpose (i.e. not providing good directions)

Burnout is primarily a negative change in perception, and it's a spectrum, obviously. You get burned out when your perception of the same situation gets progressively worse. This can be caused by various factors -- exhaustion, doing stuff that doesn't match your values, etc. It can also be prevented in various ways; i.e. you can do very exhausting work and not get burned out.

A really simplistic, but fun/useful way of detecting burnout (not the risk): if you regularly think that you and your team/company/environment work hard, but your customers/broader company/other teams are stupid/not intelligent/not constructive, then that's the first phase ('us vs them'). This can progress to the next phase, where it's more like 'me vs them', so you despise most of your environment. This is when people tend to leave. The last step is apathy, people rarely end here.

It's not really possible to move backwards on this scale without changing roles/work/colleagues.

and it uses woefully outdated crypto to provide the chain of trust

Turns out DNSSEC supports the modern algorithms you could want, including ECDSA P-256 and P-384. Most validating resolvers support ED25519 as well. Using P-256 creates smaller signatures and enables DNSSEC lookups to fit within the original DNS packet size of 512 bytes.

It also turns out that Cloudflare's Universal DNSSEC has supported ECDSA P-256 since 2015; as a percentage of implementation, more DNSSEC users are using fast, modern crypto than not.

And it turns out that the old, crappy algorithms are being deprecated and the DNSSEC eco-system is being updated to not sign zones using them or validate them: https://www.isc.org/docs/matthijs-mekking-oarc30-unsupported...

I'm sure there are TLDs and ccTLDs using older algorithms, but as a zone operator, you can use the latest, greatest crypto.

And because operational guidelines suggest rolling Zone Signing Keys (and Key Signing Keys) regularly, everyone will be on the latest crypto soon.

I just signed a zone I operate using ECDSAP256SHA256 even though the parent zone is using RSASHA1.

So DNSSEC's crypto is good and getting better all the time.

> If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?

Because innocent people do get wrongly convicted. If you don't want to be that innocent person, you might have to assert your rights, including your Fifth Amendment rights.

Note that the Fifth Amendment does not say that you can't be forced to incriminate yourself, as many TV courtroom dramas wrongly imply. Statements like "the mob takes the Fifth" are based on that kind of incorrect reading of the Amendment.

The Fifth Amendment actually says that you can't be forced to be a witness against yourself. A witness can provide testimony that looks incriminating even if the defendant is actually innocent, and such testimony can lead to an innocent person being wrongly convicted. The Fifth Amendment is there to help reduce the chances of that happening.

Yes, it does. Thank you for replying. I'll see where the exercises take me.
Edit: I'm going to put this here because it clearly rubbed some people the wrong way, HN and YC were historically US focused they have since expanded but this site still has a large US population that view and post on it and with that come a bias for this group, including myself, to think in terms of the US market. My below statement, which to me is entirely benign, is basically saying that's what we do. Is it right? I don't know but frankly I don't know anything about non US markets in terms of software engineering jobs and I wouldn't attempt to make a statement in terms of those markets because I don't know them. I do know my own market though and thus you'll get posts from me in terms of that market and I'm not particularly sorry about that.

So first off this has traditionally been a US centric site, so you'll have to excuse that most things take a US centric view and we do make a lot of money in the US software industry.

Second I have never once worked a job like that and every time I see people talk about this like its the industry norm I kind of become incredulous to the fact. The US market is so good you can turn down jobs like that.

I can't help but thinking the overtime you take on is more about you and not pushing back but again maybe this is different outside of the US. Here in the US at least, what are they going to do fire you? Cool, if they do your salary probably just increased by 10-20k USD as you find a new job in < 4 weeks.

I get that what you're saying is your reality but it certainly hasn't been mine and if you push back on things more you'll maybe find it doesn't have to be yours either. It's our market and we have high leverage because how desperate jobs are for Devs of all flavors.
Kind of off-topic, but uh, is there a name for that suns-and-moons on a starry night background pattern? It's used in a lot of places, with all kinds of variations, but I haven't been able to find a name for it (to use in searches, etc.)
Thank you for this. It appears I was lied to. The person that told me this is not someone who usually neglects to do their research and verify things, so by extension I did not. I have edited my response above accordingly. Much appreciated.

Thanks! Yessss, we did think it could be difficult to sell a browser extension on subscription. The market possibly suffers from a similar fate as app store sales - people are very used to getting them for free!

That said we've had a few sales today, so we'll see how it goes. If it doesn't work out then it's fairly easy to tweak the price, or we could offer a freemium version.

Though my instinct tells me that if users wouldn't even pay $3/m for something then it probably hasn't got great product market fit and we need to change our approach!

Who do you use? I had Cox because they were the only one left offering usenet (albeit capped).

I was a really late adopter to torrents because of my background in usenet, sometime around 2010 all the alt.binaries I used to frequent went dead or were broken with little par2 support.

It was a great time back in the early 2000s, though.

If I'm honest, I don't download as much as I used to, but I do miss the niche communities based on those groups, though. They have since moved to IRC but for the most part its all gone from what I can tell.
It's "looting" in that from the outside looking in, when social security has a surplus, the federal government takes that money and spends it on non-related things. Internally, one part of the government is writing an IOU to another part to make it seem like the money is "invested". So from some super technical and pedantic sense, the surplus is invested, but it is only ever invested in internal IOUs from the same entity to which it belongs, it's not like social security is buying up equity or real estate for the long term.
It's an amazing idea! Homebrew may help drive adoption even if it's just a beta.

But it's probably worth remembering that DNSSEC is a PKI over which the USG and its Five Eyes partnership has enormous, outsized influence; they have de facto custody over the most important TLDs on the Internet, a demonstrated willingness to intervene in DNS for policy goals, and, unlike a suborned CA, the TLDs cannot be revoked when the IC abuses them.

"Ceremony" is the right word for IANA's handling of the root zone, which is a McGuffin in the Internet security model; the DNS roots won't be what the IC targets.
Taking your comment into consideration, it seems like the quiz format could potentially shut out some of those it rather intends to help--its core audience even...how sad would that be.

Imagine those who would elevate your reality-grounded concern (incorporating the current privacy culture context as it does) to the paranoia level, many of whom would do so simply because stress has so affected their judgment process.

I know folks who work in tech for whom this would be a very quick and biting "no" due to such paranoia. But many of these same people urgently need to set boundaries and address destructive issues with their self-criticism circuits. They are burnt out.
