I'm talking about CNAME, which as I understand lets you do something like "saagarjha.github.com" → "saagarjha.com" but not "github.com/saagarjha" → "saagarjha.com". Of course, GitHub would need to support this on their end, but I don't think the second is possible using CNAMEs, which is what you would really want?

Quick question (as someone who doesn't manage email): why not using an external mail provider (like mailjet) ? Privacy concerns and/or internal mails that shouldn't get leaked ?

I like that table, and when I’ve been in Europe it’s pretty much what I’ve used. Oddly though while 30 degrees in southern Germany feels unbearably hot, 86 degrees in southern California is warmer than ideal, but not what I’d call scorching. I wonder to what extent it’s physical factors besides temperature and if there is a psychological effect from the temperature scales.

Dedicated child care is usually more expensive than low qualified aupair or nanny. You can take over if problem gets out of hands.

Also no need to drop off kids, or drive from work if there is an emergency.

Kids also have a schedule, quiet periods, sleep etc.. Yet anothet schedule to match. I do all calls at mornings while they sleep.

They don’t hide anything. Cloudflare has always been aimed at protecting websites and applications, not file distribution. In fact I just went to their site and could not find a mention of file hosting or even “CDN” anywhere.
I don't know how much you get paid but when you get priced out by offshoring it certainly won't be affordable.
I think this is a very common occurrence!

A good alternative to this ever-present risk is to use a dedicated virtual private server that is unmetered. This would make mistakes like this (and yes, it is a mistake - it is his fault he didn't read the cloudfare details and publicly served a large VM image) impossible.

Here is my referral code for the one I use[1]:

This also (especially) applies to startups that might suddenly take off at any moment (but don't expect to.) AWS is a ticking time bomb of unexpected charges. You never know what the Internet will bring you. Go for an unmetered VPS and have 1 single well-defined charge that doesn't change. That's what I do on my side projects.

Show HN: Solve My Test
Hi!
I made a site where you can post tests and solutions, they get automatically verified. Think Quora or Stackoverflow but instead of posting questions and answers you post tests and solutions. The site is hosted on https://solvemytest.dev it is open source (MIT license) code is at https://github.com/skariel/td4.
Currently it is all very basic, but fully functional. There are many ways to enhance it of course, for example making a marketplace for tests / solutions, or a TDD management tool: imagine a tech lead posting tests and a team implementing solutions, etc. Also could add a reputation system, comments, much more.
What do you think??
Yep, the author publicly shared a 14GiB file from his own S3 bucket. AWS would be completely justified in charging him for it. He can just thank his lucky stars that they decided to let it slide.

As for Cloudflare, hosting multi-gigabyte files is not what their service is for, I can’t see how you can blame them for having a limit on how large files they cache.

> I think it's easy for everyone here to estimate the actual amount of malfeasance by taken the number of times they've seen police behave inappropriately (dozens) and divide it by the number of complaints they've made (zero).

I would be surprised if the average American had a dozen interactions with police in a given year, not to mention dozens of instances of police misbehavior.

Can you share a bit about your life? What context do you have for dozens of instances of police abuse?
Society as a whole had a system that largely dealt with this called public school. Most had some version of 3-5pm after school care to allow working adults to have readable inexpensive childcare. With Covid we’re going through for most states the second school year / semester at least of closed physical space schools. It’s just a reality right now that the kids are going to interact with WFH adults during their workday until schools get reopened. Say nothing of the kids mental state after being isolated for so long.
Wetlands included?

Keep in mind that thse are natural capture-and-bury systems many times more effective than forests by unit area.

Shallow seasdon't function by dissolving CO2 but by growing byomaass (plankton or plants typically) which dies and sinks. This is thought to have been a major past mechanism and explains virtually all petroleum and natural gas fields.

Yes, CO2 saturation (carbonic acid and bicarbonate IIRC) of seawater is both finite and a major risk itself via acidification.
That's proved highly difficult. And reaquired scales remain vast.

I moved into Product Management - partially because I wanted to stop coding, partially because after our SaaS got bought, I'm the last man standing from the original team - everyone else quit, so my knowledge is more valuable than my code... which means I have more impact as a product guy.

But I expect this job will end within 6 months anyway (if it was going well, the rest of the team would not have quit), so I'm going to be doing consulting when this is over. I'm working on the materials and workshops now, focusing on leadership and team dynamics, because I want to try to help other teams fix the problems that make software professionals miserable.
Actually I am already offshore. Covid is great, it opens more positions for remote work.

Hard science suffers the same problems, albeit to a lesser degree, as other sciences because the peer review system is based on humans at the end of the day, so social and psychological factors will always be in play. It’s myopic to say social psychology is not a real science and should be ignored.

> Given the large-scale nature, probably some form of regulation would be the most realistic mitigation.

Rather than regulation, how about trademark-protected certification? I.e., similar to what Underwriter Laboratories ("UL") does for consumer electrical products in the U.S.?

Except rather than the government requiring certification by UL or similar, organizations could simply decide for themselves whether or not to use uncertified products. And perhaps insurance companies could price certification status into relevant policies.
> I'm curious why there is a need for new programming language

In a way, this question is answered by your follow up question.

> and what purposes they serve that existing languages aren't well suited for

New languages are made because existing languages are not well suited for a given purpose. But, I don't think there needs to be a reason at all. The exercise of creating one is its own motivation and reward.

For me, I find a lot of the very popular languages to be mundane and boring to work with at best, and painful at worst. I would much prefer to work with Clojure instead of Java. Likewise, I would rather work with ClojureScript over JavaScript.

If I still want to work with a Lisp but I need something with a smaller footprint than Clojure I can reach for Janet or Guile Scheme. Currently I am using Janet for writing command line tools and I am exploring building webapps with Janet as well. I like the fact that it can produce statically linked binaries for the major operating systems and it is possible to port to others as well.

Although all of those are new languages they are all based on a very old concept (as far as computers are concerned), Lisp. Forth is another old concept that probably seems new simply because it isn't popular. However, I would rather use Forth than C or C++ to program my Arduino because it is interactive and I can program directly on the microprocessor.

Overall, I think a lot of companies and individuals choose what is popular because it is viewed as a safe choice. I prefer to explore the fringes because it is more interesting.
Which is, in theory, more or less what we have. In practice, of course, choosing representatives isn't easy, and often the ones we select seem to be more concerned with the interests of powerful/wealthy lobbying groups (and/or furthering their own career within a political party) than the interests of their constituents.

I don't know how to fix that, but I'm very doubtful that abandoning representative democracy in favour of direct votes on all governmental decisions would be a positive step. It seems likely to just hand even more power to whichever charismatic populists and fashionable "influencers" can persuade people to vote blindly for whatever they promote.

The huge importance of all that data "that's not part of Git", and the workflow and skill set around it.

Ask HN: How do you jumpstart your career after stagnating for several years
Hi HN,
I have been working as a software engineer for FAANG for several years. I have not made it to Senior with nearly 10 years of experience in the industry. I work on a "mature" product so I rarely get to make big technical contributions.
My question to you all is this: How does one jump-start their career after a flat trajectory for several years.
The dehumanizing aspects of remote cuts both ways. For instance, it's more difficult for people who rely on exploiting human nature and politics to find cover while working remotely. Do you know someone who is attractive and very easy to get along with but doesn't really contribute valuable work? This person is having a really hard time right now and will not ever advocate remote work.

Although it will take effort for managers to maintain a human connection with subordinates, managers aren't necessarily empathizing less with remote. They may never have empathized to begin with.

Tech outsourcing has existed in various forms for many decades. It is demoralizing. People will always compete with you for a job, and if the market for talent is unrestricted by geography, there is valid cause for concern.
My Sennheiser RS180 died a few month ago after about 8 years or so. They had normal rechargeable batteries, but it seems it was something else that broke down (the batteries got replaced a few times).

For my Sennheiser MB 660 I just replaced the ear cushions after about 3 years, but I am still 'worried' that some day the built-in battery will give up. Not because I can't afford new ones, but because I hate if a product dies due to an old battery.

I own a few wired headphones/headsets, but there is none I used as much as my RS180 and when I think about it, I doubt that the cable would have survived the usage. Actually, I had to repair one of the wired headset once. The MB 660 can be used with a (removable) cable, but I use it only on airplanes or when the device I want to use has neither USB (dongle) nor Bluetooth.

While I am privacy savvy person, my bigger concern is about health. Having an active unit all day in such proximity to my brain, makes me wonder if they are actually that safe to use.
We do several sessions every week that get us to work together. We run internal code challenges. We meet for lunch weekly. We do safe group activities like gaming and kayaking.

Unrelated to your hardware troubles, but I think it's relevant to mention that the pinebook pro probably uses about the same amount of electricity as a (contemporary) Intel/AMD laptop.

The data I've found from some quick googling [1] indicates a power consumption of around 5 watts at idle, with the LCD backlight dimmed to 40 percent brightness, with power ranging from there up to about 12-15 watts at load.

From experience, the 13 inch Intel laptops I've used recently burn about the same at idle, and don't consume much more for basic tasks, especially e.g. hardware accelerated video decoding.

The other thing to consider is that they're much faster than the pinebook while consuming equal amounts of power, therefore using less electricity overall since you're waiting less time for the CPU to idle down (assuming you're not pegging the CPU at full load, which is harder and harder to avoid with JavaScript event loops running everywhere...)

All that to say, a slower/worse computer =/= a more energy efficient one. Although it probably does build the "software discipline" you need to use energy efficient software ;)

The point is that, if my credit card info is staying in a web-exposed, insecure DB, it is safer for me that it be destroyed than left alone.

I have no idea of that is the intention of the attackers, or if they are maybe even stealing the info before deleting it. But assuming they were good Samaritans and just deleting it, that is the best outcome for me as a user, better than if it stayed up for another day.
The concept of biofuels is a closed carbon cycle (more closed but not ideal). Plants with the aid of the sun scrub CO2 from the atmosphere, you make the plants into biofuel and then burn that back into CO2 in the atmosphere.
