I'm not sure what you mean by "a meta build system" vs "a primary build system", but for many years Nix was what our company used to build and package our software. Unfortunately, it was a very bad experience; Nix doesn't strive to be a build system, it strives to be a package manager. The learning curve for writing packages is too steep to expect every engineer to learn it, and when things broke it was often hours and hours debugging into some obscure C library way down the dependency tree that no one in your organization has ever heard of. Worse, very little is documented well or accurately. Trying to figure out, for example, how Nix's python packaging libraries work is frustrating--partly because there is no obvious way to find the defining file for a given package dependency and partly because the package definitions in nixpkgs are rarely documented. These are all tractable problems, but Nix doesn't (seem to) aspire to solve them.
I didn't say it was only Russia. I wasn't writing a dissertation, and picked Russia as the most obvious and document example.

Also, countries don't post, people do. It is a well documented fact that Russian had a full time time operating thousands of fake accounts. Russians are posting those messages and spreading memes, but it it is in their official capacity of Russian agents that they do it.

I'm not worried about random Russian citizen posting their thoughts.

## Rich Gets Richer, Poor Gets Poorer
The content is not directly related to the subject, but there is a pattern or may be not.

Which network/forum could be more apt than this professional network to create | innovate technologies, methodologies and framework to eradicate | contain the pressing issues,concerns & atrocities humanity faces today in most, if not in major parts of the world?

Lot of us trying our very best, dedicating our greater share of time, to mimic, in large, the "WHAT" & "HOW" content being already produced in all major forums and in our day-to-day work, contributing to the heap already exploding.

Though very less contributions to the "WHY" content.

In a way from generation|production prespective, I dont have rights to comment on the producers or efforts | quality of production, but believe me I have been and am a constant consumer of the work, thus contributing to the chain. This gives me the rights to comment or contradict.

I am a downstream user, like most of us , consuming from the overwhelming source or firehose of technologies, blogs, content, frameworks to keep us busy and bog us down with plethora of choices for a single aspect | problem | solution.

What could be more appropriate is to create|innovate|promote the content|technologies|framework that contribute to help humanity to overcome the oppression, atrocities and issues from any forces be it natural or man-made. Though predominantly it is man-made.

Next time we start to write | create something we should consider the positive value, irrespective of the footprint, it is going to add to humanity. #Tech4Humanity

Hi everyone, I wanted to share with you my organization charting/ visualization project. I started working on this for an organizational research class, but I though that it could potentially be useful in other scenarios (e.g. consulting or sales) so I developed it further.

Right now the script takes into account mainly the person's job title and the location. Job titles are matched against a library of macro positions, to understand the functional role. Location is normalized and then used to identify offices, countries and regions and group accordingly. These data are then fed into a random forest algo that sketches out a best guess of the lines of reporting.

Hope you guys will find it interesting/ useful and if you have any feedback I'd love to hear!

Mmm...in theory this sounds good. I wonder if the people that could/cycle aren't already doing it. I have a number of colleagues who live in London. However they're just too far away from the office to be able to cycle let alone walk there. London's a big place. A lot of people use trains and buses to get from the periphery to the centre. I'm not sure cycling or walking is an option for them.

My latest trick for deciding on external ports to forward is to combine the service port and the device's internal IP address. If my desktop was 10.0.1.36 and the service was SSH on port 22, the external port would be 22136. So far it's worked well, but it only really works if you force your router to only give out 10.0.1.2 through 10.0.1.99.

> The web is not a success. It's dying. Consumers vastly prefer native apps — one recent study (https://www.mobiloud.com/blog/mobile-apps-vs-the-mobile-web/) tells us that 90% of mobile time is spent in apps vs 10% in browsers.

That's a very weird assumption to make considering that the web was intended for sharing information, not running applications. The fact that customers prefer native apps does not mean that the web is dead. The web is good for somethings. And native is good for others.

For ex., I read your article on a mobile webpage. Downloading an app for that would be madness. But trying to use a big webapp like jira on the mobile would be a study in madness. Hell, It doesn't work on the desktop well enough.

The bottom line is that the web is good for some things, native apps are good for some things. Instead of trying to shoehorn web everywhere, it would be better to use the correct tool for the job
Also when we save a page the number is in the title.
I found something very interesting about roman numerals. If you had to set up a physical score table for a game (say basketball), in base 10 you would need 10*3 digits (10 digits for each position in a 3 digit number).

If you try other bases, you'll find 3 is the cheapest (you'll only need 19 digits to show all numbers from 0 to 999).

But with roman numerals, you only need 16 (15 plus one for zero).

It is the most economical base by far. You would need I (3), V (1), X (4), L (1), C (4), D (1), M (1), and N for nihil.

In this case I'd say not needing to be in a particular place to keep up with one's responsibilities, plus having any kind of access to a second house—owning, access through a family trust, having the kinds of friends or family who own the kinds of homes at which long-term house guests are fairly normal and don't inconvenience anyone involved, that sort of thing—are more relevant than liquidity per se. Though cash would do just fine to buy or lease those things.

My point just being the "liquid" part isn't necessary.

About a decade and a half ago it was in vogue to constantly monitor your logs for attacks. There was sophisticated software to detect the latest attacks, and they would notify you constantly, and you'd run around chasing your tail for every unusual port scan. We spent tons of money on reporting software to try to stay on top of it all.

But we realized that as attacks increased, it was pointless to look at who or how often we were being attacked, because it wasn't making our systems more secure. What did make them more secure was actually securing them: patching systems, implementing firewall rules, blocking or slowing down multiple login attempts.

Non-sophisticated attacks are trivial to prevent, and sophisticated attacks won't show up in logs. Everyone needs to stop logging ssh attempts and just secure their boxes and move on with life.

And that's why port knocking is stupid.

The TSMC fab in Taiwan is the world's most advanced. There are no other sources for 7nm manufacturing at the moment. Moreover chip designs can't just be immediately re-spun onto older processes: if it were lost to China then basically the rest of the world would completely lose access to a fresh supply of the best chips. Tech would immediately have to roll back a generation of two, hardware wise, and of course software that relied on that performance would also need to roll back, etc.

He is responding to your comment about the New York scenario. The original justification for the shutdown was that we would run out of hospital capacity.

New York always had ample capacity in hospitals, and the USNS comfort and Javits center hospital were almost empty. Governor projected a lack of capacity which certainly caused fear, but it’s a very different thing.

In terms on NYC deaths there has been many stories of incompetence and mismanagement. Almost all that died had other serious health conditions, so it’s a question if lack of proper care for a non covid preexisting condition or they not seeking care out of fear is often the true cause of death.

Normally death cause is well investigated. However, CDC issued highly unusual guidelines that said doctors should classify all deaths as covid if they have been diagnosed to have covid instead of doing doing the normal extensive look into each case. This may mask people dying from other serious health conditions due to lockdown.
What's the purpose of the plane-like rocket? It looks like something that was built to fly in an atmosphere, but it's designed to be in space. Does it eventually re-enter the atmosphere, thus the need to be able to fly in it?
Good question. I suppose I am basing my argument on text-based GUIs as a whole instead of this library in particular. I have no opinion about this library vs. other text UI libraries, other than the fact that it is visually stunning.

In my experience with TUI apps (RTV, IRC clients, even vim, as much as that pains me to admit after the days I've spent fiddling with my vimrc.), it was always worse UX compared to a native GUI version, for some definition of native GUI that includes browsers/electron. I don't mean literally no one will use TUI apps, but I don't see a killer use case for them.

To refactor my question: What is the use case for TUI that isn't better served as a native GUI or proper CLI?

Sure, GDB with a TUI sounds neat, but I don't see how it wouldn't be better served as a native GUI (Which seems to already exist[1]. Neat).

Hello from Gusto! Curious about how we work?

"Peek" through the "window" to find out.

Okay, weird, but might be cool.

window

Right at the top there's a bunch of junk that their third party scripts add... yuck, but totally common. But there's a bunch of other stuff that they clearly add to the global namespace for normal operations too. Yuck! Is this how you work?

Anyway, not fully caffeinated yet so I just scroll randomly (a standard `window` is enormous as it is, so there are surely needles in this haystack but I'm not getting methodical just yet).

method: "trackPii"

This appears to be a part of their internal analytics. D:

I'm gonna stop right here because I don't really want to learn more, and I'll just continue my personal preference of never visiting Gusto unless my employer requires me to.

It might depend on the city. I imagine that in a many large cities people go there to work or other reasons and don't necessarily live in the places most affected by traffic and pollution. I imagine that these commuters do care about the quality of the air but I suspect they care more about being able to go work or run their businesses.

HN is the media then, because a lot of these comments really do "strip all nuance". We seem to have entered an era where we're all a part of the hysteria.

Kerkeslager is right, we should all take time to actually read what this paper is saying. But obviously, most people don't, and that causes issues. Which, I imagine, is why kerkeslager advocated not even informing people until conclusive data exists. But this strategy, of course, runs into the problem that Seneca identified long ago, "A lie can make it around the world before the truth can get its shoes on."

It's just the nature of a social media based world. Not sure there is much we can do about it other than educate. To keep reminding people that they need to be skeptical, and read carefully. Even that seems not to work very well, as most people tend to believe anything that aligns with their world view, and disbelieve anything that doesn't.

It's just a tough problem. But the most dangerous thing we can do intellectually is to assume that we don't have the problem, only everyone else does.
And yet there are people complaining it's too slow, or too fast.
