Argh this bullshit is extremely frustrating. Apologies for the intemperate rant.

OF COURSE nobody can use advice like "hire slow, fire fast". They ignore this advice because it's fucking useless. I just...how could someone think this was magical wisdom? Where to even start with this?

How about this: consider a linear model, Y = W @ X + b. You're multiplying some weights by some input features, adding a bias vector. Advice like "hire slow, fire fast" is a bias vector at best. It's just telling you to correct in some direction. But it's the weights that matter!

Of course you'll never be able to make decisions if you ignore the particulars of each situation. And notice what's not in advice like "hire slow, fire fast"? Anything about the actual situation. So of course this is useless!

How do these people even function if this isn't obvious to them? Do they do this in their actual lives? Just charge around discarding all the features and making their decisions by simple rules? How do they even open their laptops to type up this crap?
You're implying that it's wrong even though the economics of it are right and the sane legal systems are going look at the economics of it.

You do realize New Zealand at the moment is almost restriction free outside of external travel? At this point they have fewer restrictions than any major country in the world including Sweden.
Typing IP addresses + gateways + DNS servers.

Also, numerical operations / form filling while consuming liquid or holding a pet. It's surprising the number of times the ability to perform even a subset of tasks while not having both hands to dedicate has allowed me to maintain focus and interest instead of stopping dead and having to spool back up slowly.

> Because that's where it should always be.

I must admit, I have yet to figure out how to maintain this discipline while whiteboarding, let alone walking, or sleeping.
What other things?
Everyone loves to hate Flash, but as an environment to create things it was actually great.

It was the player that wasn’t great.
We (https://www.bullet-train.io/) recently had a third party perform a pretty in depth security audit - cost was low to mid 4 figure Euro. Result was a ~20 page report - I felt it struck the right balance of cost / effectiveness.
If they put moderate resources into it I'm sure they could come up with something fairly predictive. For example this paper [1] finds a significant, but weak correlation between height and violent criminality. Genetic influences on height are well known. However, point taken that all models are subject to abuse.

The morality is still fairly grey though, and I think the reward vs intrusion ratio would have to be pretty high before it gets widespread buy-in. Personally, I prefer the state being disinterested in my genes.

Lastpass mostly because it's what I have been using and it works well across all platforms. Have been thinking about giving Bitwarden a shot though.

Outside CPU, you have microprosessors inside the chipsets (like Intel ME), network cards, mass memory devices, etc. They all have binary blobs. Better that they don't have bugs.
Well, most direct deaths show fairly fast after the patient has died. There are some indirect damages that might kill someone 70 years on but we don't know that yet.

The issue isn't how long it takes "for death to show up", it's that patients who are infected don't drop dead on the spot. They develop symptoms, go to a doctor, get bad enough to be forced in to a hospital, treatment stops helping until eventually the succumb to the condition. That can take a while, especially if doctors are fighting for the patients life.

And yes, sometimes hospitals can be overwhelmed by single events, though in the US this seems to be an issue of lack of social healthcare than anything, but generally there isn't a single disease that puts hospitals into a state of triage (that is until Covid when hospitals in various places in the world did have to triage)
FHD is not an issue, but there's no mention of whether it's TN or IPS. If it's TN, then it's sad.

> I have a slimbook pro (the model before the silver keyboard) and sadly I am very unhappy with it, I got a fairly maxed out version and it's fans are always on full blast and I have found no way to keep the power management under control except throttling the CPU - so it is constantly overheated, suspend is not working properly and the chassis is not strong enough so the fans stall unless you have it on a flat surface. Note that I have some lenovo computer from work which is configured in the exact same way and there are no overheating or suspend issues.

One of the possible root causes for those symptoms might be dried up (or wrongly applied) cooling paste between the heatsinks and the CPU/GPU.

I highly recommend trying to replace the cooling paste, this may fix all your issues.

I recently did this on my 2 year old Asus laptop and it feels like I just bought a new machine. It went from unusable to I won't have to buy a new laptop for a couple more years. It cost me 10 EUR and maybe half an hour to get it done.

Depends on your country I guess, but those that didn't seem to be far more successful with their budgets.

It would also mean that the practice of not increasing wages can continue. If you ask businesses to increase wages by 4% every year, I think the "new" economic model will quickly fall out of fashion again.

edit: And you basically argue that the economic strategy of Spain or Italy is superior to that of nordic countries, which is questionable in my opinion. Maybe it is "popular" because some countries have large amounts of debt?
I have a weird relationship regarding CSS:

I kinda like it (although some things could be even a bit more powerful), yet everybody I meet tells me how horrible and hard etc it is. I never had that feeling at all, not even back when I started using it as a teenager to customise my MySpace site.

I cursed at how hard common things like centering a image within a div were, I cursed at the purposeful and ignorant incompatibilities of different browsers, but with CSS3 I was sold, even more so when grid based layouts and flexbox became a thing one could lean on.

The one thing that I miss is a little bit more power when it comes to selectors. E.g. there is no way to select a <p> which has only a <img> as a child, which is coincidentally something that a standard conform markdown to HTML converter will produce. So you cannot — say give your <p> a max-width of 120ch without also limiting the width of the <img> contained within it. AFAIK there is a parent selector planned that might address this if I recall correctly.

How in the world will “time tell”?

Sweden has a worse death rate than its comparable neighbors, it’s economy has been hit as much if not more, and it has no greater “herd immunity” than the rest.

And the neighbors are opening up in a way Sweden cannot.

Essentially, Sweden did go into lockdown, and the difference from its neighbors were at the very margins. The economy was affected linearly by the additional activity at the margin, in other words, not by much, but on the other hand the virus growth was impacted exponentially, causing a significantly higher infection and death rate.

And this is Sweden, a country with a highly educated population, extremely good social and health systems, that was far better equipped to implement voluntary measures than the vast majority of the world.
This. As someone who has spent the last 25 years working for large blue chip companies, they all suffer a lack of inertia. It commonly can take weeks in a large co. to implement something that would only take a couple of days in a smaller firm or startup. If you prefer a faster paced work life, then the large company structure is not for you, FAANG or otherwise.
The fine-print at the bottom explains it: "On a Tesla T4, it takes on average 0.173 seconds per novel generation."
I don't think you can expect someone to pay for T4 instance 24/7 for some hobby project.
Mailtrap.io – Fake SMTP testing server
Since you are being offtopic, I'm joining you. As someone that isn't Thai, living in Europe but does like the country/people and is trying to learn some Thai, it is always great fun to randomly see Thai words somewhere so I can try to see if I can pronounce the word already. Sadly enough, I wasn't able to haha

I've learned from Thai speakers that there are multiple words that mean multiple things depending on the context. Where as English (and Dutch) do have this sometimes, but less often than Thai words. I am pretty sure (but correct me if I'm wrong) that both Chinese, Japanese and Korean have this too.

Dutch also has some interesting words that cannot be directly translated to English. In Dutch we don't have 'siblings', we have 'broers en zussen' where 'broers' are your brothers and 'sisters' are your sisters. There is no word that we use for both of them. Same with the word 'gezin', it means the family you are living with.

Another one is 'giftig' which has 2 english words too. Poisonous and venomous, but in Dutch it is the same thing.
I agree. Don't look for personal fulfilment in work: that's not what it's for.

Work for money, and use it as one of the tools you have for seeking fulfilment, not as an end in itself. Life isn't short but it's not long either, and the only thing you really have is time.
Can anyone explain me what is the ARP Spoofing or ARP poisoning?
Hi! Hacker news community I would like to know about what is the ARP Spoofing or ARP poisoning in detail. Can anyone help me with it?
Thanks
Harsh but I understand what you mean. I see it on Twitter all the time. People tweet nuggets of useless 'advice' and other people lap it up. Those other people also tweet in this style. Sometimes I think I am looking at bots interacting.
Additionally Unicode only goes up to U+10FFFF (1,114,112 code points) which is far short of a full 32 bits (4,294,967,295 values).
I strongly disagree. I consider it comparable to something like financial administration. In which an "expense" or "exchange" has two sides. Me, paying you, you receiving the money.

It is not up to me to decide to just release such data. Because it encodes other people's data too. If I were to release my financial records because "it's my data", i'd be exposing a lot of people, organisations and companies who I had interaction with.
This is difficult to answer not only b/c of all the other variables listed below: context of team, the department, your team, manager, the company you're at, maybe the time we're going thru right now is changing your experience, etc. -- but also consider that this might be more frustrating to you than other people. You could just be the type of person that hates working in a big company FAANG environment and prefer something else and you're just now discovering it. Talk to everyone you know and be honest about how you feel and see how they respond. The ones that really enjoy working at a big company, the careerists will brush you off b/c they don't understand, if they relate then you know that's just how it is.
Pentester for 10 odd years: usually for an external test you would scope it at X days depending on the number of IPs etc. And it should note that an external test really doesn't find much. External is usually £750/day for 1-2 days testing and one reporting. Internal testing (ie. Auditing a domain and all computers attached) is about the same price, maybe a bit more, and takes a bit longer usually. A build review is hardening the server itself, takes about a day and a day reporting. App testing is totally dependent on the app itself (this is where people have a crack at an actual installed web application usually using user accounts etc. And runs a bit more - £800+ per day usually. Specialist stuff (hardware testing, code review (what I used to do), social engineering, hardcore app testing (stuff like auditing bespoke network devices, high frequency trading apps, etc. Etc.)) is typically 1-1.2k a day.

You can get it cheaper but a lot of it - for better or for worse - really comes down to the skill of the individual consultant. You can pretty much halve these prices, but then you'd end up getting stuff outsourced to India and it wouldn't be any good. Depends if you care about the security of your product or just want a box ticked for some arbitrary compliance and want it done as cheap as possible.

I haven't been a tester/consultant for a few years now, but the prices hold up. That being said one development which has happened since I've left the industry is the advent of crowd sourced pentesting. I know a lot of friends who moonlight with these things and are very good at their jobs, and the rates are lower. The name crowd strike comes to mind, but I'm not 100% sure if that was the company or not. I know a lot of good UK based companies (if it's a web app/remote then the physical testers location doesn't matter) if you needed.

Great show of good faith there /s.
> You need to implement expiring tokens that are refreshed, otherwise there’s no way to revoke a token.

I create a new token for each request. Store expiry time and ephemeral id in the token and the cookie, set a separate ephemeral session cookie. Then on the server side check the expiry time and then cross-check the id stored in the token to the one in the session cookie. And then in response to the request generate a new token with a new id and expiry time.

> check the DB to see if the session is still valid

Thanks for the tip, I have a x230 with Ubuntu mate (upgraded to 16gb of ram) which I'm super happy with- only complaint is the screen and so was looking with envy at that laptop just now - you snapped me back into reality
Same, used to be LastPass but the more I learned about them as an entity I realised that they were not what they once were and I switched to Bitwarden.

I also found this suited my devices and usage, Linux, Android, Mac, Windows... happy across the board.

Also... employers tend not to use Bitwarden, they pick 1Password or LastPass, so it means I can have both work and personal on my BYODs.
26-study meta-analysis finds Covid-19 aggregate infection-fatality rate 0.68%
Golang is widely adopted as systems programming language for servers (e.g. Traefik, NATS, Caddy and many many more), database (e.g. yugabyte, cockroachdb etc.), web applications (e.g. gitea), docker, kubernetes (k8s), LXD, nomad, consul, etcd etc. and this is just tip on the iceberg. Golang has become very important language for internet related programming and managing container and serverless infrastructure.

Rust is used only in some part of it's core project Mozilla browser which still primarily a C++ application. Also Rust community is slowly building some software in it and may have some internal applications within some companies, but there is nothing substantial or crucial yet.

So Rust has a mountain of 10-15 years to climb before it comes close to golang eco-system for systems programming tasks especially servers and network related.

Rust might be closer to work as wrapper around C/C++ code in short term to give a start but given it's complex syntax, type system and borrow checker syntax it will still take sometime.

Again since golang is highly opinionated it might not suite everyone so it is still nice to see a parallel eco-system around other language like Rust. This will keep golang on it's toes to improve continuously.

My father still uses the alt-less layout. I can only navigate it because my first steps in typing were done on a mechanical typewriter, which this layout tries to emulate.
Generally the phrase is "I couldn't care less", meaning it is impossible to care any less than I already do.

I think "I can care less" is meant to mean "I can care less than most people do, because it doesn't matter to me".
Most interesting post of this whole thread!

I'm not sure that's a violation of GDPR. If person A has accidentally authorised their personal correspondence to be sent to person B they are pretty culpable for the consequence. Good systems require you to verify your email address, but I'm not sure there's a legal requirement to enforce that.

Regardless, it's a very different problem to a bug introduced by the company that leaks customer information.

Last month I moved from enpass to bitwarden.
Assuming no great growth isn't entirely reasonable when analyzing a company that has had a CAGR of greater than 50% for the last 8 years, and intends to continue.

If you think that's the reality, you should go short in a big way. Stock would be overvalued by 90%.

Meanwhile, a 50% CAGR on an annual revenue of $25 billion is exactly what you want when interest rates will be zero indefinitely. Not at any cost, of course, but if you were so smart that you saw this in 2015, you would have bought then.
In practice that means having (or adding) support for arbitrary numbers and decimals in the languages/platforms they want to cover. I am skeptic they would do that in C for example.
That's how I noticed as well. Shouldn't take too long to fix I imagine.
That was a pretty cool TIL, and really explains his obsession with language in 1984!
Hi, for an example, check out how the devxtreme datagrid uses a datasource object to manipulate the data in the grid in real time. Which means, instead of loading all the data into the grid before it is rendered at the time of declaration, the data can be appended, updated or deleted as it streams from a backend.
After switching as much as possible over to JSON or LZ4 compressed JSON, life is good. Never going back to another serialization format.
Disclaimer is exactly that; a disclaimer, it's a legal function. It's something you put in a contract or an agreement.

A disclaimer is generally any statement intended to specify or delimit the scope of rights and obligations that may be exercised and enforced by parties in a legally recognized relationship.
There's also been some inflation since the Model 3 was announced.
It's not a matter of belief at this time. The evidence is right in front of our eyes. But it takes intelligence to recognize intelligence. Contextual extension by abstract inference is the basic (and hardest to achieve) building block of AGI, and we have achieved it. The rest is about utilizing this same power for the querying (priming) part of the reasoning loop, within the contexts we are interested in.

Part of me is glad we're not exactly there yet, because the thought of this running autonomously in a thinking cycle is downright scary. What will you find when you sit behind the console in the morning? It took us months to start understanding this in its current one-shot mode.

I don't care about the ideological downvotes, but we will do better if we start taking this very seriously. It's no longer theoretical that this (and machine learning as such) will have unprecedented (and impossible to predict) impact on everything we know, and the timeline is now measured in months instead of years or decades.

You can't work out the logical consequences of seemingly obvious properties. That is unlike 95% of most programming I do in any programming language I've ever used. Since I have zero interest in learning unintuitive interfaces to GUI design, I have zero interesting in excusing CSS. It is not difficult to learn, it is not difficult to understand in terms of conceptual understanding, it is downright tedious to learn though - and you don't get anything unique out of it that can't be done in anything else: you get a nice looking website. Amazing.
This was an external infrastructure test which carries no real weight for the app itself. It just makes sure that stupid stuff like ssh open to the internet, no public CMS available etc. Hasn't happened. That being said bitwarden do do more in depth security audits but this particular audit doesn't really mean too much.
> Your street view doesn’t contain your entire genetic record (including propensities towards disease, mental and physical, which could very easily be used to discriminate against you).

Isn't this a form of victim blaming? How is this different than saying Black people should try to hide their skin color since in many cases they will be discriminated against because of it? We should be working to suppress the discrimination at it's source, not it's target.
There is another possibly very bad ramification of having your genetic data leaked: A disease that is tailored to kill just you or your family.

This is why this data is a worse leak than just your image or fingerprint or something (not that leaks of those kinds of data are ok either).
In one tweet he suggested the rise of social justice was in part fabricated to demolish the political left in light of Occupy Wall Street,[0] and that much of U.S. politics is about hiding who is actually in control. Funnily, he was indirectly funded by Harvey Weinstein.[1] Overall I think, he is extremely courageous and has perfected the virtue of telling the truth, like telling entire established buildings of philosophy that they are full of it. In my opinion, we need more of guys like him who simply tell the truth instead of chasing the latest political applause light.

I'm pretty sure that's not what Joscha meant by taking control of your emotions. His point was certainly more in the direction of not unnecessarily suffering or creating harm by following your emotions.

Following your emotions regarding kids, helping them to raise and become good people, feeling fulfilled doing it, I can't see anything wrong with that. You could even see kids as advancing the knowledge through them. And if you feel that way about your kids, I can also see why someone would be sad not having grand children.

I wouldn't even call this sadness to be mainstream, because I think quite a few people don't allow themselves to feel that way or even condemn themselves. So it's quite honest to be open about such a sadness and shows a good understanding of yourself.
