Not really, I'm not much of a blogger. I also didn't really want to get into my life-story in a HN comment considering it's so similar to everybody elses.

Just was interested in understanding why fuzzing, specifically over anything else, and, what exactly is meant by fuzzing in this context.

I don't suppose you have any information like that, rather than pointing out the gaps in my own commentary?

The key characteristics of a good PM I'd identify are intelligence and memory.

The best PM I ever had the pleasure of working with couldn't code worth a damn. And yet, he could recite details he'd heard from developers 3 weeks ago, and apply the understanding he'd gleaned to current decisions. Furthermore, he had an unvarying nose for bullshit and ability to gently push if developers were trying to make lazy decisions.

Unfortunately, I don't think that's something you can test for or train. Either someone is that type of person, or not.
Fair point, although as others have mentioned Prelude does look like stock Emacs in many ways. :-) I'll put a note to record some screencast in the future, as I think it will give a better idea of prospective users about the nature and features of Prelude.
I’m sure they do this on purpose, but if you read the fine print you don’t have to pay the tax the first year so you do get some time to figure it out if you incorporate early in the year.
The problem with that is that IRC networks generally send you a ping every 5 minutes or so, and if you don't send a PONG back in time you are disconnected.

Can you explain for those not familiar with this? Specifically the comment about Kuenssberg.
> Does it? Maybe the right answer is not to make all decisions in one place: maybe the right answer is to let every citizen make his or her own decisions.

That is one of the possible decisions, yes. It does seem to be the decision the US is going with, for the most part.

(I'm a little confused what you mean by "cancel cable" - do you live somewhere where the cost of a monthly cable TV bill is comparable to the cost of a monthly rent bill?)

> would you at age 60, with another 20 years to live, rather be earning 0.06% (the current savings account rate) or 1% (or more) per annum?

It depends on the risk profile. If you can guarantee me 1% or more per annum without risk, then obviously I'll take it, but if you could make that guarantee, then savings accounts would just make the same investment and offer 1% interest too.

Also, if you tell me that my options are earning 1% on my savings and setting up a system of complex dependencies that leads to a thousand people becoming homeless over the rest of my life, or 0.06% and not doing so, that may influence my answer.
Oh, you talking about adding affiliate links, right, I agree that I don't see them serving search results with affiliate links. On this page the claim is phrased slightly different, and says receive a commission from searches that leads to purchases

I start out with a shell script.

Depends on your jurisdiction but in many places you are allowed to instantly depreciate small assets, but not allowed to do so with more expensive ones.
It's that simple in Arizona with only a $50 filling fee but no annual fee or report required. It's recommend one uses a lawyer to draw up an operating agreement but not required.

Estimates vs. Appetites
It reads more like exceptionalism on AI's part.

AI: "We demand access to monitor the trial."

UK: "You are free to monitor the trial as a member of the public."

AI: "No, we demand physical access and the right to a reserved seat to monitor the trial."

UK: "From the Crown's point of view, you are a public institution and have the same rank as any other public institution. The auditorium seating is ----> thataway."

This is not to say that AI having reserved seating to oversee the trial couldn't be useful, but it's understandable why the UK might choose not to treat them as a privileged observer.
Not to be glib, but can it make phone calls? Last I checked, neither the Librem 5 nor the PinePhone were useful as a daily driver.

Not that I use the phone itself that much, I mostly use text-based messaging, but I don't want to carry two separate devices with me everywhere. If it's just for in-house use, I'd rather choose a larger tablet than a tiny phone.
To scare and threaten people with a near collapse of the medical device industry, if packaging manufacturers aren't allowed to operate unregulated, sounds like borderline lobbyist desperation tactics.

I hope we as Humans are better than this.
That's an interesting point. To add to it slightly, maybe the goal is to create a healthier community. Without the guilt or annoyance you mention, it is possible for both the donor and the recipient to maintain a positive relationship going forward (less of an ongoing power dynamic or bitterness).

My guess would be that when these levels developed, most giving was within a close knit community.
So what does it do then?
Anyone who's hosting Hyper-V VMs on Windows can now move to Linux and host those VMs under the same Hyper-V environment they were before. I'm not sure how many do this and, frankly, I'm quite surprised Microsoft does it on Azure.

Of course, you can run those same VMs under KVM under a Linux OS, so it's not some new capability.
Apple really needs to be called out on this:

The thinness of the device is determined by the thickest part (aka inclusive of any camera bumps).

The staffer is a specialist. Intimate knowledge of highway infrastructure, or technology issues alone do not make a senator. A senator is someone who manages a small cabal of specialist experts who collectively hold more knowledge than any one head could ever fit. The job can’t be done by one person, its a coordinated team effort.

Advertising is a huge reason why the US economy keeps on churning. I think there could be several knock on effects to something like this, even though in principle I agree.
But I don't think this tracks unless you treat search as something special. If I own a billboard then I have a monopoly on that billboard. Presumably I built/bought that billboard because I knew that the ad space would be valuable and that companies would need to pay me for it.

Google owns extremely valuable ad space but that to me doesn't make a monopoly just because Bing or Facebook's ad space isn't as good for certain companies.

Do you have a link to that scrolling extension handy? It sounds useful to me. And if you have any other recommendations I'd appreciate them too, as I tried some extensions but have none enabled myself currently (just stock with the animations off). Your scrolling one is the first one that sounds useful.
That's not what the article you linked says. To the question though there really haven't been many federal laws regarding tech at all. It's kind of hard to find an example of anything that directly focuses on tech and has been around long enough to make a judgement whether it was good or bad.
Autoconf "lost" in the sense that it solved the problems that it needed to solve and is no longer needed.
> The vast majority of single person LLCs simply do not have the luxury of having enough cash on hand to separate things to the extent necessary to be protected.

If you don't have the ability to operate a distinct entity, you shouldn't choose the business form designed for that express purpose and offering benefits conditioned on doing so.

I don't know that the vast majority of single-individual LLCs are actually doing it wrong, though, especially in California where the required cost at least encourages some thought about what you are going to get out of it that justifies it.
Man this looks good! Subscribed to your newsletter. Hope this helps me in understanding those tricky sorting algorithms. Looking forward to the emails!
> Buffett agreed to invest upwards of $550 million

Berkshire. Buffet has delegated most of his investment decisions to Ted and Todd and management to Jain and Abel.

$550 million is 0.1% of Berkshire assets and 0.14% of total equity, this is not the level of decision that needs much attention from Buffet.
It even predates Arch Linux by a few years.
GraphQL over WebSockets
Dropping a support for a language version is a breaking change. You literally can't compile the dependency itself. If that is not a breaking change by your definition, then nothing is. And I don't know if they use go mod or not because, as you probably know, Go 1.10 doesn't support go mod, it was started being introduced in Go 1.11.

I don't argue for strict semver, you can never be sure if a supposedly minor change won't actually break things, sure, but some changes are guaranteed to break things. Why not at least mark them with the version bump?
I believe the biggest difference is that, unlike KVM, Hyper V causes money to change hands.

"The "driver" (or rather "liability scapegoat") will bear the responsibility when things go wrong"
This was a test vehicle, testing software, not a fully-fledged, mass-produced, 100% autonomous car. The backup driver's entire job was to ensure that is this test software malfunctioned, there would be someone in the seat ready to take over.
We can have discussions of who's at fault when we actually build a 100% autonomous car, until then, the driver is, and should be, the one at fault.
Thanks! I hope it helps you in someway.

Edward Snowden and Joe Rogan – 2nd round [video]
I think this is the best argument for why self-driving cars are much further away than we realize. A fully autonomous vehicle that is perfectly suited for modern city roads is a long way off. A human is still required. In this case, it seems best that the human remains in total control so that they remain in total dedication to the task. For the same reason that some aircraft autopilots shut off when they notice a problem, so that the pilot has to take full control and becomes more aware of problems like if the plane is consistently pulling left or right.

The ideal is that the car helps, but does not take total control. The car keeps you in your lane and automatically speeds up / slows down with highway traffic. It warns you when you turn on your indicator while a car is in your blind spot, and applies the brakes when it detects an imminent collision. But the car should not make turns or apply gas or allow the driver to dedicate their attention to something besides the road. It should augment, but not replace, human abilities.
Ask HN: Process for fundraising after getting intent?
Hi HN

As we’re looking to fundraise, interested to learn more about the steps it takes after you’ve got commitment from investors to money in your company’s bank account. For example, wondering how many have worked with lawyers to draft up terms and agreements, how did you pay for the various legal and admin fees prior to investment, did you use SAFEs, etc.?
Perhaps as a slight work around for gnome-3 users. I use workspaces across two monitors with the `window list` extension. To address your 'X window is not in Y workspace issue' you can assign a hotkey in gnome to move the currently active window up or down a workspace.

So I have ctrl-alt-shift-up and ctrl-alt-shift-down bound to move windows up and down.
When you start using new features you break backwards compilability. For C11 that means distros as new as Ubuntu 10.04 (which I still use as my main desktop) and the like are going to have problems compiling (GCC it ships with only supports parts, as in C1X). This will also apply to older embedded systems where a tiny client would be useful.

In the past a compiler and ecosystem would last a decade before it couldn't compile something. These days changes are coming out, and being used, every 3 years. It's future shock and the major cause of container usage on the desktop and in academia. Sticking with a well established older standard means everyone can avoid the massive increase in complexity and problems that containers bring.
I’d think the list is shorter of charismatic politicians who hadn’t gone to a top notch law school. Plenty use brains and charm. Even spineless hacks like Mitch McConnel know how to be charismatic around wealthy republicans, and are brilliant, just brilliantly evil.
Such an internal camera system doesn't need to be AI powered.
You could achieve the detection using a depth camera that emits active infrared (IR) stereo. Stated differently, a depth camera uses IR and visible light to see the driver's face.
The article was written 5 years ago.
At its simplest yes. But if you are proposing this as a solution to a client, they will likely want to edit content. That will have to happen on a headless CMS instance. That's whole new stack to maintain alongside. You then need to set that up and configure the SPA to talk to it (GraphQL/Apollo?). When I come back to client project in a month, is all this still going to be working ...?

Maybe, but it's certainly not less complex then a traditional Wordpress site. So I'm wondering what are the criteria for using Jamstack successfully?

As you said it could be that it's good for simple static sites but not great for more complex content-drive sites - I don't know, that's what I'm asking.
This whole argument is a bullshit argument. I have, somewhat grudgungly I'd admit -- slowly come around to the idea that systemd might be worth the trouble. That said, there is room for more than one working configuration pattern, especially provided those patterns provide non-redundant featuresets to their respective configurations.

The last point of bitterness for me with this entire issue is the entirely uneccesary contention and strife with continuing to include sysV init. It's loved by many and used by many, just leave it alone and let the users patch it.
Indeed. But to me the distinction between your experience and the driver's is that you were supervised and compliance was checked. If no-one was (at least occasionally) making sure the driver was always focusing on the road ahead, it was inevitable that the driver would not think the rule was that serious, and lapses were bound to occur.
I am personally against research for ending aging.

It probably means they want to leverage out the existing open source VM software so they can make one with proprietary Windows support (at some point down the line). There is a long history of this in the past with Microsoft

It seems to me that Go is purpose built for writing network services like a backend.

Rust is a more general purpose language, and has been designed from the start to work well with existing C-style libraries.

Both have their place, but you asked about a backend. Go shines there.
I think it was the Economist who described squash as "chess at 100 miles-an-hour". If I had to guess techies like the speed and thinking that goes into it, and the intense cardio helps focus at work.

Congresspeople do have access to experts. Their staffers are brilliant. The issue is that ultimately what motivates any politician is moneyed interests, and not collective good.

I have to admit that I hate the "cobbled together" experience.
All systems do have flaws. Even if we had very intrusive security, 9/11 may have still happened. It's possible no amount of security could have prevented it.

And it's possible in attempting to launch several thousand pounds of metal into the air that sometimes your testing is off and people die. That may mean the system is broken, it may mean it's just imperfect - it is not sufficient for either of those claims by itself. That people died does not mean the system is inherently broken - life is not without risk nor should our goal be to make that risk non-existent.

Security, to use your example, is fundamentally a trade off - accessibility vs security. Are we willing to trade a more intrusive screening process to prevent some set of attacks? Even if we make that tradeoff and an attack still happens, should we keep it? Would you be willing to be stripped search each and every time you fly if it lowered that risk of an attack another 10%?

Your call out of an ad hominem is incorrect. Parent is generalizing human behavior in an uncertain world, not attacking you as an individual. Nobody can write a perfect system, even NASA has failures. A super abstract argument about flawless systems loses to real life statistics every time - theory is great but only reality matters.
If the only thing the word "monopoly" does is spark a discussion about the word then why use it? Why is it so important that Google be a monopoly for their behavior to be bad? Do we really have no other words to describe business practices that we don't like?
>> Excel is, in and of itself, a single reason alone for many people in various industries to own or operate a computer.

I had a client that suffered an excel/windows ransomware attack. It started with a macro or something in an excel document that, for some reason, everybody seemed to open. My inbox was flooded with "do no open anything" emails. Then the CEO called me to check on the data I had stored on my systems. "Remember when I said I didn't use windows? Your data, at least the copy I have, is safe."

Ubuntu have also switched to systemd so they are unaffected by this issue.
Very this.

My mind is not app-centric. I want the shell where I'm looking at logs, the editor where I'm taking notes, the browser where I'm checking some doc. I don't care to think about which terminal application the shell is inside, select that, then find I've opened a different terminal window and have to search through the windows separately. I don't care whether the doc is loaded in Firefox or Chromium so don't ask me to choose based on that.

IMO app-centric task switching works much, much less effectively than window-centric task switching; I hate that all the major DEs have copied the same basic app-based dock design that has been failing in obvious ways since day one.

(Although Windows can at least configure grouping away, and there's the dash-to-panel extension to make GNOME tolerable again.)

I get that an app-centric view is attractive to app developers, who would love me to be engaging with their brand. And that mobile has its own reasons for putting apps in silos. Does nothing for me as a desktop user though.
I believe the link you shared contradicts your previous statement that "International law requires asylum seekers to request it at the first available country." From the linked article:

"""Neither the 1951 Refugee Convention nor EU law requires a refugee to claim asylum in one country rather than another.

There is no rule requiring refugees to claim in the first safe country in which they arrive."""

Regarding "This isn't the US's responsibility..."

There are two answers to the "This isn't the US's responsibility" assertion.

One is that it's everybody's responsibility, and the US has the resources to shoulder a disproportionate burden (to say nothing of a bit of causal history creating the need to shoulder a burden in the first place; the US has intervened in South American politics for decades, sometimes with the express goal of disrupting the will of the people and local governance). Where others say "Why?" we should instead say "Why not?"

The other is that the country that has a statue in one of its largest harbors declaring "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" ... has declared it their responsibility quite openly.
Sorry, I was misremembering the problem. It's not netlib-java that is LGPL. It's some of the native math libraries that plug into netlib-java.
It does, but the fact that the default is so braindead and annoying, and that I have to configure it to make it usable, is well.. very annoying. Like, why would they think that it is a good idea? No other desktop does this.

GPT-3 and the Rise of Human-Centric Adaptive Software
I actually remember when Ada was in development - the US Air Force decided to use Jovial in the meantime (F16 in this case). From someone who worked at Lockheed he said there were still Jovial codebases in the past couple of years. Ada was much better than Jovial but had a fairly long design time. I got out of the DoD world by the mid 80's so never came across either again.
