I recently read a blogpost about post-mortem in google engineering blog. They also mentioned this tool to detect dropped dns packages. Generally, when I see something new or something I never heard of before, when I see it two times at least within frequent time intervals, it almost becomes impossible to forget that for me. Brain is weird.
CF can detect an issue while deploying, and then automatically go back to previous state (it is configurable, but that's the default behavior).

A quick post doesn't capture nuance well for something like this. My peers felt alot of pressure to advance careers very quickly.

Especially women. My cousin is a physician, so basically lost her 20s completely to work. Even being in a relationship almost felt irresponsible to her for a long time because of the pressures and the potential to move anywhere in the country.

A good friend ended up being a high-flyer at a big consulting company -- he always wanted what was over the next hill from a career point of view, and that impacted his relationships.

It has definitely gotten worse since the Iraq War for a variety of reasons, and I think a big part of it is the lack of a draft has created a growing disconnect between "military people" and the population at large. There's no sense of shared sacrifice. People think they pay their taxes and that's as far as they need to sacrifice, and soldiers look around at their friends dying to secure oil fields for exxon-mobil while nobody at home is paying attention and can't help but get cynical.

I have no knowledge of your specific situation but one thing to remember if in your case its your parents pushing you to have kids is that they may be doing it out of both the desire to have grand kids and see the continuation of their line as well as them knowing that they love you and want you to experience that same love. With that said, don't let anyone pressure you into making what is probably the largest single decision in anyone's life.

There are a lot of young developers that just have no context for what Microsoft did in the past. If you bring up their past, they say "that was so long ago" or "but they've changed!"

But public companies are not people.

Of course they change -- tactics -- and try to gain control again. Everything they do will in the end have to be justified to their shareholders and how it will either gain them profit either now or in the long run, and as soon as the fickle-minded shareholders change their tune, out goes Nadella, and we'll get another Balmer or worse.

To an extent that is what it ends up being 90% of the time given that a lot of the inheritance people use don't satisfy the LSP (Liskov Substitution Principle). We've been using mypy with our python codebase and it will complain if you violate the LSP so much so that it prevents most inheritance. We mainly subclass for simple data models when it's a case of "every model has these 10 fields" and there are next to no methods on the data model classes.
> Just a few decades ago the militarization of space was universally acknowledged as inappropriate and this was codified in international law.

That's a hell of an interpretation...

I'd instead say that the world powers recognized that nukes in space would be destabilizing, and banned that specific thing. Space has been militarized since the 60s.
They are/were either in happy marriages with children and think everyone should experience that in the same way Timothy Leary thought everyone should drop acid and are both wrong, or they are/were in unhappy marriages or had horrible children and feel everyone should experience that in the same way fraternities think everyone should be hazed and are both wrong. Either way, they assume that you can either find the right spouse or give up your entire life just to have some kids that may or may not care about you on your deathbed. Nowhere in this discussion is the desire of the people who haven't yet had children considered. All arguments are in a bad faith authoritarian controlling nature: "I know better than you" type. Pretty much every argument on here that advocates for children falls into those two camps. Some people even write "when you have kids," assuming it's inevitable because they are simply too closed minded and blind to the fact that not everyone wants kids.

Finally, whatever reason you have for wanting or not wanting kids is always going to be selfish first. It might also contain altruistic elements. There's nothing wrong with being selfish and doing what is best for you. Or are we all supposed to be altruistic and donate our entire salary every month to charity? Absurd.

>Can anyone expand on why this technique isn’t more common?

Hard answer: WS has been around for longer, and it's had more "marketing" for lack of a better word -- more people know about it and know how to use it. Retooling existing WS-using code to use HTTP/2 pipes would be a considerable effort with little to no perceived benefit to most users and teams.

Speculative answer: most web developers live closer to the application and presentation layers, and there's resistance to learning technologies that involve HTTP connection management e.g. in nginx (not to say that there are none of these, there are just fewer of us). WS was at the right place at the right time with a good high-level interface available to the client, and gained traction because of this.

I believe inside the special operations community, Navy Seals, especially Team 6, gets a lot of flak for the amount of insider content that comes out [1]. Perhaps some of the lessons may apply to the tech community as well.

I found this quote resonating well even for myself and tech, specifically for the adoration of tech leaders: "It’s easy to fall in love with oneself, but this is not about us...It cannot be about us". [2]

I know a certain unit that loved to remind people "You will give more than you receive". I found that quote quite helpful in helping myself decide if a certain company / team is worth my efforts. I do believe that under most circumstances we will give more than we received (monetarily or otherwise). Is that cause worth it?

Not sure about Japan, but the tendency of US prosecutors to dismiss/drop cases they think they might lose is a critical part of the US justice system. The US prosecutor has a dual role that includes protecting people from unwarranted prosecution as well as prosecuting people charged by police .

Though [too] often, they confuse their important duty to protect people from unwarranted prosecution with their personal interest in promoting their career.

Rickover was the sort of person who had the technical expertise, gumption, and charisma to get away with this. It's worth reading up on this amazing individual, who made navy's nuclear reactors so safe, and led the creation of nuclear reactor expertise within the navy.

Ask HN: How to setup back end for a side project most effectively?
Hey, I'm a college bachelor and I'm building a simple web app concerning high-school contests. Most of the work will be done at client-side, but I'd like to have some features that will depend on a server.

Concretely I'd like to have:

- Database of users and also of the items that will constitute the main content of the site (comparable to an e-shop items database, but without pictures)

- Sending notifications to a user when some other user does something

I think the number of users will be in the hundreds at most. How do I set this up to spend as little as possible? I know of Azure and AWS and similar solutions, but their sites are so complicated that I don't even know whether they're the right tool to solve my problem, not mentioning the question if they're the _best_ tool. Thanks for any help!
If he takes that stance than it will cast doubt on everything else he has done. If there is a footgun on the wall, by the end it must go off, and chaining "non-exploitable" bugs together is routine stuff for hackers.

Yeah, it was denied.

About our new discovery, Daniel J. Bernstein issues the following
statement:

"https://cr.yp.to/qmail/guarantee.html has for many years mentioned
qmail's assumption that allocated array lengths fit comfortably into
32 bits. I run each qmail service under softlimit -m12345678, and I
recommend the same for other installations."

And from his "guarantee"

In May 2005, Georgi Guninski claimed that some potential 64-bit portability problems allowed a ``remote exploit in qmail-smtpd.'' This claim is denied. Nobody gives gigabytes of memory to each qmail-smtpd process, so there is no problem with qmail's assumption that allocated array lengths fit comfortably into 32 bits.

Under mitigations they list:

As recommended by Daniel J. Bernstein, qmail can be protected against
all three 2005 CVEs by placing a low, configurable memory limit (a
"softlimit") in the startup scripts of all qmail services.

Alternatively:

qmail can be protected against the RCE (Remote Code Execution) by
configuring the file "control/databytes", which contains the maximum
size of a mail message (this file does not exist by default, and qmail
is therefore remotely exploitable in its default configuration).

Unfortunately, this does not protect qmail against the LPE (Local
Privilege Escalation), because the file "control/databytes" is used
exclusively by qmail-smtpd.

Alternatively:

- an updated version of qmail-verify will be available at
https://free.acrconsulting.co.uk/email/qmail-verify.html after the
Coordinated Release Date;

- the developers of notqmail (https://notqmail.org/) have written their
own patches for the three 2005 CVEs and have started to systematically
fix all integer overflows and signedness errors in qmail.
A few of my own:

Declaring/initializing a medium sized array of structs, is simply too verbose if you have meaningful structure names. What is a few lines in C explodes into pages in rust.

Type inference on declarations but, not function parameters, WAT!

The scoped constructor syntax is designed to miss the concept of RAII.

Array's by themselves are nearly useless, might have just made Vec<> the default array type.

Variables end up being &mut even when its not necessary because the compiler forces the attribute to be carried along in a number of cases when its not rightfully needed.

As I've complained about before, many of the 3rd party cargo libraries need additional traits before they can be mixed with threads/mutexes unless your willing to use unsafe.

Then there are all the bad style choices, starting with the javascript like nested calling (aka obj1.call().call2().call3().call4().call5();) chains spread over whole pages of code. Mismatch braces (yah I know this one is everywhere in C/javascript/java too, doesn't make it right). Trait declarations that are scattered everywhere rather than being centralized like a C++ class.
If that were true, then WTF-8 wouldn't exist.
Mastodon is a federated/distributed social networking server that communicates with other servers via a protocol called ActivityPub. The interface feels sorta like Twitter, but it doesn't have to be.

There are other FOSS ActiviyPub servers such as Pleroma (written in Elixir), Pixelfed (Instagram type interface) and PeerTube (distributed video). ActivityPub is a protocol (like e-mail/SMTP) for subscribing and replying to posts. ActiviyPub is just used for the backend (how servers communicate with other servers; like SMTP sending e-mail or RSS readers polling RSS).

Mastodon uses websockets to stream posts to the client/web browser. People who make mobile apps and desktop clients also tend to use WSS. It does fall back to regular HTTP polling in case WSS fails. Pleroma and others also re-implement the mastodon API. It means you can have different front-end web clients (Pleroma-fe, soapbox-fe, etc) on top of different backends (Mastodon/Pleroma).

The advantage of WSS is being able to stream new statuses with a socket, rather than polling constantly for new updates.

If you get on a Mastodon/Pleroma/Pixelfed instance (there are hundreds out there or you can setup your own), you can follow me at @djsumdog@hitchhiker.social
13 hours a day on average?

That seems quite high to me.

Assuming you sleep 8 hours, that only leaves 16 other hours for potential screen time of which 13 we are apparently looking at a screen. Lets assume another 30 minutes a day for getting washed & dressed, bio-breaks, brushing teeth, preparing food + drink etc (30 mins seems low, but I'm being generous), so 15.5 hours left.

So of all of our waking hours, we spend 13/15.5 = 84% of every minute we are awake looking at a screen? 50 seconds of every 60 seconds staring at a screen?

Seems high to me.

Eyes usually look at diffusely reflected light, which has a different impact than direct light.

A white reflective surface (whiteboard) in direct sunlight is 1.6cd/cm^2. Consumer monitors are ~300cd/cm^2

@T was supposed to be a GC'd type, but ended up being a refcounted type. It was removed before it actually turned into a GC'd type.

However, one issue here was that they didn't compose in the same way as types today; ~str existed, for example, but was not the exact same as String in terms of memory layout. Conceptually they're the same thing though.
what do you mean you wanted to install applications to an external disk?

if you have a separate OS on the external drive, you could chroot in and install it.
If you just want that one application to be on the other disk, you could mount it to wherever on the filesystem the program would be installed.
However you probably don't wanna do that on an application by application basis. you could mount /usr/bin/ on the external drive for example. or use LVM to share disk space between the disks

Flatpak, Snap, Appimage and other portable format aren't really preferable. they lead to a software ecosystem that amounts to just downloading and running executable binaries off the internet, each with their own overhead.
So I know some folks in the business I think part of it is because we've glamorized special forces but there isn't always a pressing need for them. From what my friends in the business say is that it is 98% of your life is spent in miserable training, only the top elite of the spec ops forces ever see anything real. Probably in part because these forces were forged during the midst of the Cold War to combat the Red Menace across the entire world, now we're dealing with local warlords, much different threat.

Maybe it is the result of glamorizing the Navy Seals, and Delta Force and what not in movies, everyone wanted to be one because it was portrayed so cool; however just like internet communities once you become popular what made you popular died, an eternal September for Spec ops if you will.

Also the groups that are doing the sausage making are probably ones that you aren't hearing about. Such as the CIA SOG, Airborne Pararescue, or other groups you just don't hear a lot about.
Data Visualization of the Spread of Covid-19 Compared to Other Virus Outbreaks
"If children get outside enough, it doesn't matter how much they study they do. They don't become myopic," said Ian Morgan, researcher at Australian National University.[0]

"Researchers say kids and teens need to get sunlight during the critical years of their development while their eyeballs are still growing.

"The mechanics of how sunlight protects their eyes are not clearly understood. One theory suggests that sunlight triggers the release of dopamine in the retina; another speculates that blue light from the sun protects from the condition.

"The solution is simple. Have kids "spend more time outside, have less demands (from) the schools and relax a bit," said Seang Mei Saw, professor of epidemiology at the National University of Singapore."
