Mostly, we still have a couple of binutils hanging around:

- ld.bfd on 32-bit powerpc (should go when lld 10.0 is in FreeBSD)

- GNU as on i386 and amd64 (expected by some ports, and needed to assemble one file in the base system on amd64)

- objdump (expected by some ports, but not used in the base system)

These should be removed in FreeBSD 13.0.

The best Windows UX, except one thing that to this day i never liked: minimized windows in MDI applications having a "button" form instead of an icon form. I always found Windows 3.1's approach of using icons much better. Though i guess they tried to mimic minimizing the top level windows to the taskbar, but a real inner taskbar would work better IMO - mIRC did it best there - and functionally closer to what most applications do nowadays with tabs (but without losing the functionality of also having unmaximized windows, like opening multiple views of an image side by side at different zoom levels in an image editor - or just having multiple documents visible at the same time in general instead of being forced to only view one).
>It's too dissimilar from what we're familiar with regarding diseases: something that we get, treat, and is gone.

That's absolutely not what a disease is. Off the top of my head, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Alzheimers, Parkinson's, Guillain-Barré, are some diseases that one gets, which only progressively worsens over time. A significant portion of diseases are never "gone".

I think there are multiple useful lenses for thinking about this:

- Signaling that the Fed is willing to get involved to stabilize market prices (by making capital cheaper) is meant to calm markets and give participants comfort about making decisions today that they could optionally wait to decide. If everyone goes into a holding pattern, liquidity is impacted, which can cause all sorts of unpredictable price movement.

- it is a wealth transfer from one group to another. The beneficiaries are existing debtors (mostly firms) and firms who benefit most from cheaper capital.

- it gives the Fed slightly more influence over the outcome of the 2020 election, since reversal of the Covid-19 rate decrease can be timed to create desirable optics as the election approaches. Much research has been done about the most critical time period prior to the election when "it's the economy, stupid" is most true.

Amazon owns nothing, not the ARM IP nor the manufacturing chain (TSMC or Samsung most probably), in that field it's not a big player. It owns what it does with Graviton, that's pretty much it.

Else yield obviously counts, that's what stands in the way of this CPU having more cache or 160 cores, for what it's worth, so it has to count for something obviously. The multiple tiers in every cpu manufacturer line up is also a consequence of yield, so it's very much not a minor element of the equation

I tellya what, Florida real estate just went from bad to worse.

As if sea level rise swamping much of the coastal land wasn't enough, there's the so-called "silver tsunami" -- a large wave of Baby Boomers dying, and their homes being backfilled by a much smaller cohort of new retirees over the coming years.

If the virus becomes widespread in retiree-heavy areas, it's gonna compress a decade-plus of mortality into an incredibly short span. All sorts of places will be affected, but Florida is in for the worst of it.

As a sub-case of this, almost every HA (high availability) system I've ever seen has been less reliable than the original system was (without HA). It sounds like a good idea, but the extra complexity kills it.

One non-software system was a rather expensive UPS/generator. It was meant to trip on a power loss and provide X minutes of stable power. In reality, it was incredibly sensitive to minute power fluctuations and would trip and then immediately fail, dropping all supplied power in an instant. The system was dramatically more reliable with this unit simply disabled.

Root Insurance Co| Columbus, OH / Chicago, IL | Full-time | Onsite preferable| $80k-$170k
https://root.engineering/

Root is an auto insurance carrier, like GEICO and Progressive. We use data science to identify and insure good drivers, reducing insurance premiums for good drivers significantly as a result. We're a startup — we're 850+ people who have been working on this since March 2015. We've built an iOS and Android app that gathers data on how well people drive. We use that to set insurance prices. To build the best possible product and user experience, we went through the arduous process of starting an insurance carrier from scratch.

We're focused on becoming a national insurance carrier and are now live in 30 states.

We recently raised the largest VC round ever for an Ohio technology company ($523 million in funding to date.) We're planning on leveraging that momentum to continue scaling rapidly and build something truly unique in the insurance industry. To do that, we're looking to bring on more exceptionally talented engineers. Whether you're just getting started out in software development or someone who is looking to lend your experience in leadership to a rapidly scaling engineering organization, we plan on doubling our engineering team in the next year alone.

Our tech stack involves Ruby / Rails and Javascript / React Native. However, we're not only looking for people with experience in our stack but rather we're looking for experienced technologists with sound engineering fundamentals using any technology.

We're actively hiring in Columbus, OH and we've built an engineering team in Chicago, IL that will be working very closely with our telematics data. This team will play a major part in where we're headed, and we're searching for both experienced Engineers and Engineering Leaders who are looking to have a significant impact by building and leading a team from scratch specifically in both locations.

Email us at enghiring@joinroot.com to apply and either Tim or Chris will respond to you promptly.
> We don't control the firewall as it is under the control of our customers.

> As it is I'm trying to figure out how to configure an OpenSSH client to punch out through the firewall to an OpenSSH server, then immediately turn around and provide a shell to the server. This seems to be entirely contradictory to how OpenSSH is designed, but I'm hopeful I can hack something together.

This is trivial. But if you don't control the firewall, how will you get the outbound SSH access? PCI requires that both inbound and outbound traffic from the secure zone (CDE) be controlled. If you can impose upon the customer that they punch an outbound hole, you can impose inbound requirements as well. Your inbound connection does not come from "the public internet", it comes from your managed in-scope network.

Wish I had this to share with my boss years ago. My first big project at my first post-college job was building a PDF parser that would generate notifications if a process document had been updated and it was the first time the logged in user was seeing it (to ensure they read the changelog of the process). Even with a single source of the PDFs (one technical document writer) I could only get a 70% success rate because the text I needed to parse was all over the place, when I stated we would need to use OCR to get better results no further development was done (ROI reasons). The technical writer was unwilling to standardize more than they already had, or consider an alternative upload process where they confirm the revision information.. which didn't help.

I don't envy working on ingesting even more diverse PDFs.

I think it's that employees who get flown to $1000-a-ticket conferences by their employers get treated better by their employers than food service workers.
Was thinking about doing this via iOS 13 Automations, but certainly something I'll check out. I use Feedly which pulls in HN, my other many rss feeds and even Twitter. As use RSS to fav/save the top articles each day that I read later in Feedly Saved or Instapaper. If this service supports sending just content from Feedly Saved and/or Instapaper that would be great.

I went down a rabbit hole while making a canvas based UI library from scratch.. and started reading about the history of NeWS, display postscript, and postscript in general.

I started reading the ISO spec for postscript used in modern PDFs. You can read it yourself here: https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/PD...

What actually needs to be done to extract text correctly is to be able to parse the postscript, have a way of figuring out how the raw text.. or the curves that draw the text.. are displayed (whether they are or not and in relation to each other) using information that the postscript gives you.

Edit: More than anything I think understanding deeply the class of PDFs you want to extract data from is the most important part. Trying to generalize it is where the real difficulty comes from.. as in most things.

How do you figure this is a business logic bug? It looks like a pretty clear-cut implementation bug to me. Rust would 100% have caught this bug, and in fact I'm pretty sure it would have caught the bug at least two different ways:

2. You can't have multiple mutable references at the same time.

In September 2008, Kim announced he would be closing Mondo Kim's and giving away the film collection to anyone who could fulfill certain criteria, stipulating that the entire collection was to be taken intact and that Kim's members would continue to have access to the collection wherever it resided. In December 2008, it was reported that Salemi, Sicily had made a successful bid for the collection, as part of a village restoration effort.[7][8][9] In 2012, a Village Voice article entitled "The Strange Fate of Kim's Video" reported that the collection, though remaining intact, had essentially disappeared from public view after arriving in Salemi, and that the initiatives promised by Kim and the government of Salemi remained unfulfilled.

Definitely. Here's a good post from the founder of a software consulting company I respect. His background is in engineering, and there are a bunch of common business assumptions that he questions, and that one is first on the list: https://greatnotbig.com/2020/03/unquestioned-business-assump...
yes, that could be true. but the point still stands, that the repetition of certain phrases, even if they understood colours differently than modern audiences, still served the purpose of aideing memory and familiarity among the storyteller and the audience.

I had one college professor who lived by this. Except he applied this theory by making tests basically "Write everything I said on this topic with correct dates, names, topics, etc. You have an hour to reproduce the content I lectured on for 6 hours." I was graded 99/100 on one test because I said like the March 1922 instead of including the day.

That style can help or hurt. When the class is straight info then sure, I can see the advantage but would never take another class from the professor. When the class is designed for analysis and critical thinking about the topic it kills interest and if they had offered another slot or I wasn't set on graduating quickly and could delay I would have.

I end up summarizing things that don't connect immediately and allowing the connections to stand against reviewing the notes the next day. I can then triage if I took too many notes (remembered more connections and can scale back) or need to review certain topics or sections (dropped connections). I also preferred class structures where we could participate vs being told the info and tested on our ability to regurgitate it. It's good for 101 classes but does not build an educated mind, just knowledge.

There are none, because “economic crisis” is too large of a category to have a one-size-fits-all universal solution for dealing with it. Every type of “economic crisis” has its own cure, like a virus in a way. And the kind birthed by 2008 is as far as possible from what we are dealing with right now.

Climeworks is a Swiss startup in business since 2003; they have built multiple pilot plants in Switzerland, and are well known here. See e.g. https://www.climeworks.com/about/
But that's most likely limited by testing resources. Many of the countries that haven't reported cases are developing nations that don't have the resources to do thousands of daily tests. Similarly, countries like the US have been lagging in their testing. Similarly, France has stopped doing tests except for people who are critically-ill.

So, it would stand to reason that you would see a decrease in the number of confirmed cases if there's an artificial limit in the number of cases reported.

I would rather argue that microservices are best implemented when each service owns a bounded context in the lingo of domain-driven design. Business concerns might align with that, or they may not, depending on how technically complex (vs product complexity) the product is.

I tried and didn't like it. Very often I ended with partial uncommitted work in one machine, so I was forced to stay on it until I could commit stuff. It's much easier to have a running tmux session somewhere that you can ssh to from anywhere.
Actually looks like Instapaper offers an RSS feed of latest 25 items. So once can use Feedly to organize all RSS feeds, including pulling in from HN and Twitter, and use the native save feature in Feedly, that can also sync to Instapaper. And then use MailBrew to send that Instapaper feed to email, or create an automation on iOS 13.
The latter part of this article presents a much more structured regime than I think is necessary. The crux is, write shit down. I carry a moleskine notebook and scribble my thoughts. I don’t doubt that the more rigorous approach suits the author.

Yea, this is really bad. I've done some searching of the data. Sometimes it doesn't matter. It looks like whoever is currently running gab.com is probably a big consulting company with like 100 other clients, so there's no big relation there. But if you run a small personal blog and use the same e-mail address for maybe more controversial sites that are hosted on different IPs, now you could get doxed.

I'm guessing customer IDs are associated with e-mail addresses? This seems like a good case of using different e-mails for ever cert. There are open source tools like anonaddy.com you can host yourself or buy from them (they have a decent free tier).

I feel like this list seriously needs to be pulled. There is some serious lack of oversight here.

Requiring everyone to talk to everyone so everyone has global context isn't just "devs don't want to talk to each other"; it is actually an information dissemination and coordination problem which scales non-linearly (at least n^2), and needs some kind of modularity to be tractable to normal humans.

Microservices are like modules but for SaaS rather than shrinkwrap, and are where you end up when you follow SLAs, encapsulation of resource consumption, etc. to their logical conclusion.
Well of course, values and prejudices are usually passed down through generations. But my point is: age isn't a very good indicator of progressiveness. Just look at the whole 20th century: back in the 1920s, there was huge social change, and a loosening of social mores. Then it all changed, and by the 40s-50s, things were much more conservative than before. The 60s-70s were the age of the hippies, and then that all went away with the 80s and the Reagan years.

People always seem to have some weird idea that progress will come if we can just get rid of the old people through aging and attrition, but this just isn't the case. New generations can bring progress or setbacks, and it's happened historically over and over.

Speaking of Neo-Nazis, how about the actual Nazis? Were they a bunch of old farts? No, at the time, they were all young people, led by people who weren't old at all (possibly middle-aged). They weren't preceded by generations of people who were even worse than themselves, in fact it was the opposite.

Finally, just look at the current US elections: the most progressive candidate, who others in his party think is too "radical" and "extreme", is one of the oldest.
>Applications are so much more complex today, supporting more combinations of OS and input method and data storage and accessibility and display modes and whatnot.

But do they need to be that complex? Often times we are solving for the same problems (most CRUD apps aren't doing anything we didn't do in the late 90's), but devs have convinced themselves that all of this abstraction and overly engineered layering is necessary. It's often not.
