Actually worked on something similar about 16 years ago. The idea was an attacker could be led astray and then drop various behavioral clues to disclose their identity past a legally arguable threshold based on challenges and confusions selectively presented.

The guy I was working on it with dropped out of academics for a career of spirituality. He went off to a monastery so I also abandoned the project as well. We never even got a publication out of it :-/. These days you could probably make a very expensive product out of it.*

Someone else may have picked it up, I don't follow the literature anymore

* - I just realized maybe he went off to become a spook - I don't know how I never thought of that - even to this day many of my colleagues from the era work for these nebulous companies with names like "The Adirondack Group" who just have a basic website with a single email address. I never understood why they even try, just say "we are spies" - everyone knows it. Maybe it allows them to live otherwise normal social lives where they don't have to lie about the superficialities of their job? I dunno. It can't be actually project based - that'd be super retarded - instead of knowing "he works for the CIA" everyone would also know what project they work on - super dumb - that can't be it. I'll probably hit up one of my old friends to see if that monastery was real. He can probably say "yes" or "no".
Yesterday, this youtuber exhorted its viewers to submit at least 20 PRs in not-so-popular repos so that at least 4 remain unmarked as "invalid" to qualify for free t-shirt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9902nonYas

He has 670K subscribers on Youtube, and he insisted that not a single t-shirt should remain unclaimed after 1st October.

Anger aside, it was DO's job to think of poor incentive alignments and loopholes, because at the Internet scale, every loophole gets exploited sooner or later. Maintainers have been telling them of the spam issue for years.

For urgent action, DO should try to get that YouTuber to create a follow-up video to ask people to stop spamming Github. Even canceling the HacktoberFest and restarting it with new rules would be better than just giving up (as Matt Cowley seems to be indicating here: https://twitter.com/MattIPv4/status/1311594424049307649 )

And eventually, invest in educating these new developers about a responsible way of participating in open-source.

I suppose another possibility is that the market just deals with it. Through wages, employee retention, or 'danger money' for the non-convict colleagues.

I had the exact same experience.

I'm in my early 40s now and had never done any woodworking a single day in my life and never even had really used any type power tool other than maybe a drill.

Early in the lockdown, my wife and I decided to completely redo our backyard, We were initially going to hire someone to do it, but after receiving bids for $20k+, we chose to tackle it on our own.

My first project for the new backyard were two simple cedar planter boxes. Fast forward five months and I've made more planter boxes, a deck, some steps, acoustic panels to hang in my studio, and a custom desk for my daughter.

I've found that while the end results are far from perfect, they're still pretty great. Even after figuring in purchasing a few power tools (including a sliding compound mitre saw like you mentioned) we still have spent way less money than had we hired someone to do the same work.

I'm really looking forward to my future projects. My only regret is not taking this up sooner!
I recall my time on Gemstone with more fondness than probably any other significant part of my childhood. I certainly loved that game more than anything else I've ever played. I don't even consider it a game, really.

It is why I learned software engineering.

I've gone back and created characters a few times, but I've never really hung around long enough to develop relationships or any desire to advance in the game. Guess I'm addicted to real life now :)

Most annoying thing for me is that they just lose their grip over time, just like Micro-USB did. I bought a late 2016 Macbook Pro which was the first to sport USB-C. After a good two years with admittedly heavy usage, both of them were flimsy enough to develop regular dropped connections to monitor and power. This is something which seems to be near impossible to do on a 2015 machine with HDMI/USB-A/Magsafe.

I wonder if it has been ever used on the wild outside of some compiler conformance test.

Anyway, it is true that C++ is not fully backward compatible, some things have changed in very important ways, but the vast majority of the code will compile unchanged and breakages should be caught at compile time.
Yeah. I can take some pretty good photos. Digital allows me to take many more photos than with film so some are bound to come out great. My daughter, though, understands light much better than I do. She has an artistic side and she just gets it. Some people get software, others understand higher-order math, and some get light in ways the rest of us just don't.

USB-C felt like it forgot the entire design intention of previous cable standards: That connectors had a direct relationship to functionality.

When you build a PC, generally parts and cables only fit in places that they will function. When plugging devices into a computer, historically if you plug them in where they fit, it works.

USB-C's decision to buck this behavior made it more confusing for users, not less.

The article was actually posted twice before and I chose to expand PL for exactly that reason, making it more approachable. The article itself is really really good.
I do wonder why people are so motivated to help the perpetrators of violent crimes. You could take that same energy and help the victims instead. I doubt whoever suffered whatever violence it was that merited 13 years has forgotten the whole thing by now. I doubt they're stoked to see their attacker off to start a cushy new job. You don't get 13 years for something trivial.* If after that time you find it to get a job, well, you kinda have to wear that.

*for non-violent stuff, like drugs, obviously you can. I'm referring to this specific example, which is described as violent. Non-violence shouldn't impact your future in the same way.
Bravo. Welcome. Keep up the good work, brother.
Can we stop spamming HN with stories about Spamtoberfest? We get it, DO did a bad thing solely for their benefit.

While we're on the topic, let's talk of ways Github can ease the load on OSS maintainers for the rest of the year too. Examples:

1. (someone else suggested) Mandatory to run linters or pass tests before sending a PR.

2. Vacation mode for repos, where all PRs are auto-declined, with a vacation auto-responder message. This is also good for maintainers' mental health.

3. Ability to whitelist contributors who are allowed to send PRs (this might be controversial and against the spirit of Open Source)

4. Ability to set a TTL on PRs per-repo. If an owner doesn't respond within the TTL, it's auto-closed.

5. Stop showing commit graphs and the other nonsense that turns committing code into a public performance.

I'm sure there are other suggestions.

I finished reading Elixir in Action a few days ago. This was probably the best part of that book. It takes you through building a primitive GenServer with basic processes before moving onto actually using GenServer. It specifically goes over tail recursion optimization before it introduces the receive do loop, which seems like a very important part of the whole thing.
> Let’s be honest. Hacktoberfest has never generated anything of value for open source.

This statement by the author is not true. I lead Home Assistant[1], last year the 10th most active project on GitHub[2]. We love Hacktoberfest at Home Assistant and gladly participate. We have gotten a lot of high quality contributions and some of these contributors also stayed and joined our core team.

We've been many years in the top contributed projects during Hacktoberfest. In earlier years spam was higher but now it's not too bad. The biggest thing that they did to reduce the spam to us was making sure our repository didn't get linked on their website.

I see a bunch of calls of people are trying to stop Hacktoberfest because it attracts people to open source and we're all so busy. But… if we get more people and we get them along as a maintainer, the long term work load can be reduced because more people are working on open source.

So instead of calls for trying to stop Hacktoberfest, let's ask for a better way to control spam. I think that the announced guide by DO to tell people to open a PR on their own repo is a good start.

And if anyone reading this is interested in participating in Hacktoberfest by improving their smart home, check out the Home Assistant Hacktoberfest blogpost[3]!

Chicago has snow & biting cold 5 months out of the year, sweltering heat 4 months out of the year, and a pretty mediocre tech industry (outside of healthcare, insurance, or finance).

> agreements like employment contracts, set the rules.

Yes, however as far as I know employment contracts for both Google and Facebook would both prohibit having a full-time job at a competitor. Between that and IP ownership concerns, I would call this "cheating".

> nothing says the positions aren't both contract positions with no, even informal, exclusivity expectation

You're right, it's not explicitly stated, but it is high implied that these are employee-employer relationships (and not contracting) positions.
This is great, I just don't know why sometimes in the US everything is taken in the wrong way and everything has to be politically correct. We can make fun of ourselves there is nothing wrong and the more we accept the differences the easier will be to move on. And before anybody assumes I'm a white male, I'm a Mexican immigrant in the US.
Sure.

Even if I had the tenacity to shoot 20k photos, I still couldn't pick the handful worth sharing. Because I also lack taste, esthetics, and opinion.

For reference, I share 100s of photos of my dog every month. (Swapping baby and puppy pics is a way for friends and family to feel connected.) I'm always surprised by which ones are deemed "really good".

My point is that artists do something more that's beyond my understanding.

> Virtually every member of the Western Alliance has had its own years of lead, not only Italy but Britain during The Troubles in Northern Ireland, France as it tried to cling to Algeria and was targeted by its own paramilitary terror campaign, South America in the years of Operation Condor, Mexico’s Dirty War, and so on. America is no exception. The country has been here several times before: Bleeding Kansas during the 1850s, when slave-owners and abolitionists faced off in murderous confrontations; the birth of the first Klan after the Civil War to resist Radical Reconstruction; and the wave of violence that accompanied the rise of the Third Klan during the civil rights movement. Elements of the left from John Brown to the Italian Red Brigades have also pursued violent accelerationist campaigns in pursuit of social change. But only the reactionaries have enjoyed approval from more mainstream sources of political power. Often, they got logistical support as well as material and legal cover from security services.

Checks Wikipedia for Operation Condor...

> Operation Condor (Spanish: Operación Cóndor ... was a United States-backed campaign of political repression and state terror involving intelligence operations and assassination of opponents, officially and formally implemented in November 1975 by the right-wing dictatorships of the Southern Cone of South America.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Condor

Then checks Wikipedia for Mexico's Dirty War:

> The Mexican Dirty War ... refers to the Mexican theater of the Cold War, an internal conflict in the 1960s and 1970s between the Mexican PRI-ruled government under the presidencies of Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, Luis Echeverría and José López Portillo, which were backed by the US government, and left-wing student and guerrilla groups. During the war, government forces carried out disappearances, estimated at 1,200, systematic torture, and "probable extrajudicial executions".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Dirty_War

US intelligence agencies insisted that mass surveillance was not directed at US citizens within US borders. Then we found out differently.

In a similar way, I think many people in the US could turn a blind eye to the crimes being committed abroad in the name of the Cold War.
