T-Mobile had some crazy good deals in October before the merger was approved. I moved my 6 line family plan from Sprint to T-Mobile in anticipation of prices rising and reduced competition post-merger. After comparing notes with my friends, I'm paying the least per line for unlimited data and all the goodies that come with T-Mobile's Magenta Plus plan.
The threat model is a malicious entity has limited access and can swap out the intended script for a malicious one, and have it run in a root context.

This is equivalent to not having signatures on your repository packages and saying "no biggie, we rely on transport encryption". Might work in most cases, but there's a reason good security uses layers. A failure at any point-- TLS downgrade attack, repo compromise, proxy compromise, DNS poisoning-- can result in your preflight script executing malicious code.

Requiring code signing with a pinned cert would solve this issue, but would be terribly out of character for the company that brought us a hidden local REST API to bypass OSX security prompts.

This is awesome, this is also the second really interesting project I've seen that I suspect spawned from that book the first being V:

https://vlang.io/

I could be wrong about him having based his language off that book, but when he mentioned writing it first in Go I got the vibe it might be, plus he recreated Monkey in V. It amazes me how much V has grown in a short period of time, and how much your language has grown as well.

I've been wanting to buy those two books for a while, and I think I'm just going to have to based on the results. This reminds me of the CoffeeScript developer who also read a similar book years back and built CoffeeScript:

If the industry can't survive by following the rules then the leaders of that industry who profited from illicit behaviors should go to prison for decades and their assets should be sold off to pay damages to the effected.

Yes, I got the name of the app wrong; it's called "1.1.1.1". I have been using it only since the Warp stuff was added, so in my brain it's called "warp" even though that's not actually correct, sorry.

Warp is a vpn service, but I hesitate to just say "yes" in this case because of the caveats around end-users seeing your IP. Many folks use vpns to attempt to hide information from the site that they use, but this doesn't inherently do that, it hides the information from your internet provider. When this was announced on HN, there was a lot of arguing about that, so I tried to sidestep it by just saying plainly what it does.

Just a few days ago I wasted a few hours playing with OBS, CamTwist, and a few other "chroma key capable apps"... all with no luck... Zoom's built in beats them all....

What I really would like to do is have my green screen capabiity regardless of the video conference app (e.g. Facetime, FB, etc)...

I ran into the issue with syphon and Camtwist... and I gave up :)

The title contains the words "Marxism" and "intellectual". There are far too many anti-intellectual cold-warriors here that have access to the down vote to have a reasonable conversation on what is really just a philosophic opinion on the matter.

So this thread innately ends up being troll bait.
Maybe a stupid question, but can't any program read the memory of other programs from the same user? Can't you attach to it for debugging?
cool! this can be really good for creating internal company or customer portals similar to the glide. it's always a pain to onboard new teammates or users to built out google sheets the logic/thinking is obscured and hard to learn.
This reminds me a different rule of three [0] as described by u/cperciva:

> If you want to compare two things (e.g., "is my new code faster than my old code"), a very simple approach is to measure each three times. If the all three measurements of X are smaller than all three measurements of Y, you have X < Y with 95% confidence.

> This works because the probability of the ordering XXXYYY happening by random chance is 1/(6 choose 3) = 1/20 = 5%. It's quite a weak approach -- you can get more sensitivity if you know something about the measurements (e.g., that errors are normally distributed) -- but for a quick-and-dirty verification of "this should be a big win" I find that it's very convenient.

T-Mobile is doing great. The merger with Sprint gives them access to more frequencies for better coverage/speed.

I had to move my classes online, so I've been using OBS for recording videos (mainly me talking while I go over the slides ~ 15-20 minutes).

The only thing I would like to see fixed on macOS would be that my students could see the mouse pointer. Beside that, I think it works quite well.
FYI, your link is not working.
Just because Dish has the airwave rights doesn’t mean it will be used for personal mobile telephony - could Dish be using it for other purposes, such as fixed point-to-point transmission - or a StarLink competitor? (Disclaimer: I have no idea if those frequency bands are suitable for satellite comms or not).

Haha, I'm working on my second SaaS for one person :)

The first is drfreezr.com , something I built for a friend who manages a bioresearch lab and had trouble enforcing diligent bookkeeping about what samples are stored where in what freezers.

He and his lab colleagues are very happy with it, and they use it on a daily basis. But now I have to start marketing it. So the typical thing I do is optimize the code/UX/data model instead of finding more customers.

And now I'm working on a small-scale CRM for my wife (prototype phase) and her colleague who's she's started a consulting business with :)
I'm with your second part. The technical aspects of my job are incredibly easy working from home. The time is incredibly productive (except when I'm on HN dicking around).

But what does suffer are all of the creative processes. Zoom meetings are not the same as real-person meetings. The cadence and flow is off, and it interrupts the creative processes. Maybe that will get better over time, now that we have a whole month to get used to it, but I doubt it.

I'm with you, I look for all of my salaried folks to have the opportunity to take work from home days occasionally. Honestly, I've been pushing that for years, so I'll count it as a win.
The installer is code-signed, and requests root privileges, right?

Malware on the local machine may not have root rights. You're basically arguing that privilege escalation isnt a real threat.
The Logos, according to jewish-hellenistic philosophy, was the eternal emanation of the One. Philo of Alexandria (b. 50BC) allegorically referred to the Logos as the son of God. Christianity claims to provide eternal life, simply through belief in the "Logos" (incarnated in Jesus).

So if one views oneself not as a separate person but as part of this eternal emanation, then by definition you do live forever.
Please don't.

> In my own opinion this merger is a good thing. Sprint holds huge amounts of spectrum but has absolutely failed to create a competitive network with it. It was a misallocation of a precious natural resource.

as far as I see the same Sprint CEO is continuing as the CEO of the merged company so I don't think things will improve. If he failed to create a competitive network then how are things to improve all of a sudden?
I was about to point out that they're using a Mac, but apparently Streamlabs just announced a beta for Mac in the past 24 hrs.

"during this period"?

They're as essential to our survival even if we're not in a pandemic. It's maybe time we recognized that and stopped exploiting labor just because it's unskilled. If we paid them by the value they actually create.

I'd really urge you to reconsider your stance, and be there to help them advocate for fair pay even when this is over.

Maybe, but the safer bet is that science will discover treatments (and ideally a vaccine) over time and so we are better off being one of the last infected. Let science learn on someone other than me. There are already media reports of both treatments and vaccines - only time will tell which work though.

It's crazy: All we've been hearing from politicians for months is how the virus's spread is affected by political borders. "It only spreads in China!" "It only spreads in China, Iran and Italy!" "It only spreads in China and Europe!" "It's only a problem in Washington State!" "I mean Washington and California!" "Oh, New Yorkers need to worry about it too, but nobody else!"

We are just trying to buy time to ramp up production of materials that can reduce the burden on the medical system.
It's especially important now that companies tell us about their process so that we can compare and expedite, including how many:

- technical phone screens

- video interviews / coding interviews

- projects (esp. length and duration, paid/unpaid, etc)

- portfolio / code reviews on past projects

- onsite interviews and if there's any whiteboarding or pairing, etc. [note: we'll assume these are virtual now]

- will the position stay remote or do you plan on making it in-person?

As well as the total amount of time you expect interviewing to take!

Thanks :)

You say that this doesn't happen, and yet we have patches like this in JavaScriptCore: https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/195906/webkit. Pointers are hard to reason about, but 1. undefined behavior extends to a lot of things that aren't pointers and 2. compilers keep getting better at this. For example, it used to be that you could "hide" code inside a function and the compiler would have no idea what you were doing, but today's compilers inline aggressively and are better at finding this sort of thing. And it isn't just WebKit: other large projects have struggled with this as well. The compiler discarded a NULL pointer check in the Linux kernel (which I can't find a good link to, so I'll let Chris Lattner paraphrase the issue for me): http://blog.llvm.org/2011/05/what-every-c-programmer-should-... ; here's one where it crippled sanitization of return addresses in NaCl: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/nativeclient/issues/detail?id=24...
