What are you on about?

Here's the post I replied to below, it said nothing about self-respect. You're the one who brought that up and still haven't explained how compensation factors into your "best work" / "self-respect" chain. Please, do share.

-------------

> Congratulations, you are now 3-10x developer.
Congratulations. You are still getting paid the same.

Boosts in productivity need to come with boosts in pay, otherwise the logical thing to do is to scale back your effort to a point where the amount you get done matches the amount you get paid for.

------------

To which I said, "exactly! if you're taking home the same salary whether you're creating massive value for the company, why bother?"

---------------------

So, if someone generates 10x more value than the person next to them, you think they should both be paid the same (while the company reaps the immense profits) and that nobody should complain about the situation because of their "self-respect"? Wild.

No, it documents the same thing as the other link - that unrelated chip.de downloads (including .NET Framework, though I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would source that from chip.de) are by default wrapping any downloads in a "secure CHIP installer" which is chock full of dodgy adware installations, apparently including Cliqz without any mention or option to remove.

Can you see traffic between hosts in the same VPC, even if they wouldn't otherwise have access via security groups?

The scenario I'm imagining is that an attacker manages to gain access to one box in VPC, and from there is able to snoop on (plaintext) traffic between an ELB that does TLS termination and some other box in the VPC that receives the (unencrypted) traffic.

If you encrypt all inter-box traffic, then this attacker still doesn't get to see anything. If not, then the attacker gets to snoop on that traffic.

I'm not sympathetic to lazy arguments like, "if an attacker has compromised one host in your VPC, it's game over". No, it's not. It's really really bad, but you can limit the amount of damage an attacker can do (and the amount of data they can exfiltrate) via defense-in-depth strategies like encrypting traffic between hosts.

April Dolt Dataset Spotlight
Hi Hacker News,

CEO of the company that built Dolt (https://github.com/liquidata-inc/dolt) and DoltHub (https://www.dolthub.com) here.

If you aren't Dolt is Git versioning wrapped around a SQL database. DoltHub is a place to share databases in Dolt format. We think it's a better way to share open data on the internet. No importing. SQL comes with the format.

Every month we'll be publishing a blog on new or interesting datasets on DoltHub. This is the first in that series:

Right, they let you do it now but iirc that is a relatively recent feature that was resisted for a long time. And for good reason I think. The purpose of certificate validation is to verify that the remote machine is who they say they are. But those guarantees are already provided by the VPC protocol. In order to impersonate a target instance you would need to MITM the traffic, which isn't possible in a VPC.

That sounds more like the typical result for ventilators.[1]

I think it's more like 80% fatality on ventilators for this disease[2][3][4]. According to the published literature of course; I ain't that kind of doctor, but based on what is known, if someone comes near me with one of those things, well, they won't be a doctor for long either.

I enjoy learning new technologies and working on inspiring projects. In addition, I prefer to work throughout the full stack as my background has required full understanding from UI through to the full backend infrastructure.
The majority of my experience has been in the startup space, and I'd prefer to move back into that type of environment over working for another medium/large corporation.

I'm also very passionate about security and am studying to pursue the OSCP later this year, so any roles in secure development or appsec will catch my eye over full stack roles, though I'm open to most opportunities.

I'm an undergrad student that has won 10 hackathons and have experience in fullstack, machine learning, and hardware technologies. Open to internships and some full-time positions.
I'm still having trouble grasping the distinction that you're trying to make. Is it just that there's a separation between purchasing power and asset value?
Having two locks can also be a good tactic, especially two locks in a different style e.g. a d-lock and a cable lock. The theory being that a thief would need to have two tools to steal your bike which means it's likely more hassle than other bikes that'll only have been secured with a single lock.
Once again, I'll post this. Admins will probably send it to the bottom, but 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 :)
No they wont be I don’t think, based on the “work done for free” part at the end.

I think that is the point if the open-source angle if it, that it is socially acceptable to donate time to an open source project.

When we hire, we only do very short interviews, and so long as the person isn’t an abrasive jerk, offer 10-40 hours of work at contracting rates doing real work for us, at whatever capacity they have.

It’s not a perfect system, because it excludes people who are unable to take it on. But for us it gives us the most accurate picture into their work style and who they are, and it also gives them an insight into who we are. Most importantly they get paid because we value their time.
Your experience is rather unlike mine — especially the belief that central IT departments are advanced devops practitioners.

Similarly, you're talking about a significant amount of work maintaining bespoke infrastructure duplicating what systems like Kubernetes, OpenShift, Nomad, etc. do but taking on the responsibility for integrating and supporting all of those disparate parts yourself, not to mention getting the policy, security, and operational go-ahead to do so.

“Easy peasy” does not match my experience with that approach but I'm glad it's working well for you.

I love this! I love RegEx but have struggled trying to “teach” others over the years. In addition to books like this, I often find writing RegEx with something like Expressions[1] (and I know there are many great website solutions, Expressions is just a great app that I find very approachable to newcomers) is a great way to learn. When you can see what you’re writing select what you want, you get a great grasp of how it works. This, alongside a good book with good examples, is pretty much how I learned RegEx ~12 years ago.

> I don’t buy this either, speaking from experience using multiple commercial renderers.

It of course depends on exactly what is being rendered, but typically texture maps of assets for high quality cg are done at roughly the expected resolution of the final renders (rounded to a square power of 2). Typical assets will have three or four maps applied to each group of geometry, with higher quality hero assets having more groups.

> RenderMan, for example, does adaptive tessellation of displacement mapped surfaces because they will run out of memory with a uniform displacement.

It is specifically screen space displacement and this has been effective, but was originally crucial in the days where 8MB of memory cost the same as someone's yearly salary. In PRman actually polygons are even less of a burden on memory because of this with micropolygon and texture caches for efficiency, even with raytracing.

The real point here though is that nurbs don't really have much of an advantage, even in memory, because polygons are already lightweight and can be smoothed. Subdividing of polygons is typically not going to be too different from burbs and heavy polygonal meshes are likely to be extremely difficult to replicate with nurbs.

Don't get too caught up in exactly what is technically possible, this is about why nurbs are not an ideal form of geometry that anyone is trying to use again. Their disadvantages outweigh their advantages by a huge margin.

Very interesting. I'm happy I read it. I think that seeking simplicity in code for me is often trying to find the most simple and straightforward way to write the code so that I can understand it.

This would be the most fun for me. Model the lowest levels of physical laws by creating a simulation universe of a very small volume and see how to make behaviours computable. Only rule is that you can't freeze time in the simulated universe while computing. So first off there has to be propagation limits to effects (or at least observability limits) within the simulated universe.

The best way to make this scalable might be to make each observer a CPU.

I disagree with naming conventions for branches. Just give it a name, I like to have have a bit of fun sometimes. For example: 'org-mode', 'more-org-mode' and 'org-mode-3-still-org-moding' are 3 real branches I recently shipped. All the naming convention does is make another pointless argument. As long as the name is more descriptive than 'my-branch' I'm fine with it. Argue over something less pointless.
The second amendment has long been acknowledged to not allow blanket and unlimited access to weapons, the US Government could pretty trivially counter-argue that end-to-end encryption is military grade and beyond the needs of the consumers - if that tactic was taken it'd be difficult to defend the necessity of consumers to have access to that level of encryption in a technical manner that'd hold sway on the supreme court.

To be honest the second amendment, for all the out-sized media attention it receives - is a rather ineffective and unimportant portion of the Bill of Rights - falling quite far down any reasonable ranking.... Still more important than the third though - especially since the US routinely ignores the spirit of it.

That said amendments 1 & 4 are probably quite relevant, especially 4 - this law, while covering a novel subject not previously assumed, aims to specifically deprive persons of their rights to private communication including in cases where just cause cannot be established.

I suppose redundant communication channels (that go over different network modalities, e.g, data center native, satellite, 5G, etc) can be used to recover from network partition.

How? Is rent lower for chain restaurants? Do they charge more than non-chain for the same food? And they still have the franchise fees on top of the same costs as the non-chain restaurants. How are chain restaurants surviving and others not?

I'd expect what nradov describes: That the space stays empty.

Hi! 15+ years of engineering experience, have been through a lot of technologies and cycles. I'm in a decent place right now focusing on research and side projects and not actually looking for work, but I'm slowly getting bored. I figured I would post anyway - who knows what opportunities come along! If the right thing hits I may be interested. Perhaps something around ML/RL, research, infra, or possibly trading. I'm not sure myself :)
