In that case you’re using either HTTP or TLS verification, which only works if you have a public static ip/port that LE can access. You can’t do that from behind a NAT without port forwarding and you generally don’t want your local docker machines to be accessible to the internet.

Unless your cron script is doing some funky DNS altering, that is.
ISPs are more likely to move in the direction of reading your traffic to inject ads rather than remove it.
Because if there is something that you can do from an actual Linux install (VM or otherwise), and not WSL, then WSL is not a complete solution, and most devs will see it as such, whether they have a pressing need to run gui apps or not. If it can't, then it's not real.
If you make thousands of random claims, it's only natural some of them will end up being true. It doesn't mean Hinduism has any predictive power. I'm not saying it doesn't, I'm just saying we cannot determine that from this one data point.
I've found AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Functions super useful to run automations, especially when used with the Shortcuts app on iOS.

For example, I have a GCF that checks my clipper card's balance[1] when I touch it with my phone[2], and displays the amount in large font on the screen. It only took an hour or so to write with no experience with it, and costs nothing at all to host since I send only a few requests a month.

Being able to run custom code on demand without having to deal with hosting, config, security or any of this cruft is a game-changer. I prefer GCF to AWS Lambda, but they're pretty much interchangeable for most use cases.

Unclear laws should be nullified, not patched by judges.

I wouldn't be surprised if people occasionally re-create famous math problems, given how many interview questions seem to get created these days.
Grandma’s sewing store would be hosted on a VPS or Squarespace, and will have a checkbox to provision “secure site encryption” for her without any further work required on her part. (They may charge her money for the certificate, if they’re a scummy VPS.)

This ship has sailed, though: “plaintext HTTP” is available only with HTTP/0 and HTTP/1. This article is discussing HTTP/3, which carries forward the requirement of wire encryption that HTTP/2 argued over for a long time and then incorporated into the standard.

(Incidentally, my grandmother was a Smalltalk and 6502 assembly programmer of educational software in the 80s. She let me read her technical books at age 5. Probably best to find another example, such as “non-technical site owners”.)
You've created multiple accounts and posted hundreds of comments about this. I'm sympathetic to whatever pain is underlying that, but that doesn't make it ok to keep posting like this. Single-purpose accounts are not ok on HN, and such repetition is not in keeping with the site mandate.

Readers who encounter any single comment along these lines are naturally going to feel sympathetic, but that can't continue past a certain threshold of repetition. In that sense these conversations are illusory. Bringing it up again and again is not helping you, and it's damaging this site. Commenting so repetitively, even about a topic like personal pain which obviously matters, is functionally in the same category as spamming or trolling.

We banned your previous account that was doing this and asked you to stop. I'm going to ban this one as well and ask you to please not do this again.

I wish you well—I'm sure we all wish you well—in finding a way out of this into more satisfaction and self-kindness.
I can think of cross-building. You could for example build a QT app and test it directly on Linux from your main Windows machine.
That's an ion thruster. They've been around for a while.
Timing for this announcement is intentional as AMD is about to announce its Zen3 architecture tomorrow.

But I wonder if this is akin to shooting themselves in the foot since it reveals that 1) Rocket Lake will remain on the now outdated 14nm fabrication node and 2) likely a very marginal improvement over very recently-released Come Lake.
It's a bigger lift than just switching from TCP to QUIC though.

And there's other reasons you wouldn't want to use as many connections as you have assets to download; each connection has startup overhead.
Agreed to some extent, though not really sure the protocol matters here... As an alternative, limiting IFrame to 1-3 layers would do a LOT in terms of reducing the overhead/bloat/risk... you get a full ad network payload, that injects an iframe because of a buy miss, then another, another, etc and so on.

In the end, limiting IFrame depth would probably do more than many things for stopping some of the bad actors.

I use uBlock Origin and EFF Privacy Badger for most surfing, which does a decent enough job. I don't think that the enhancements to the protocol really do that much... though I also don't know that some of the tradeoffs are worth losing a human-readable protocol.
> this just checks that you still remember the theory you learned in college.

Sure, but not everyone went to college or studied computer science / math. This seems like one of those problems that's really just testing a very specific type of preexisting knowledge.

What is your point? Companies wants to hire smart people which is why they have these interviews. This applies no matter what level people are at. "I forgot" isn't valid defense. All the people in these threads who says things like "I knew this but forgot" are really cringy.
If there is no matter and nothing that has any attributes depending on time, then distance and duration becomes meaningless. In conformal geometries scale doesn’t matter so the incredibly immense and microscopically tiny are geometrically equivalent. There’s no contraction, rather a kind of re-scaling.
I'm aware; as you say though, sadly, it's unobtainium (and non compliant, so it's guaranteed to have compatibility problems with some devices and drivers).

Real transaction translators in USB 2 work with host cooperation and specific support for USB 1 devices in the protocol, while this is trying to do transparent protocol conversion. Sadly, due to USB's design, this runs into the same corner case problems as any other kind of tunneling.

The main problem is the polled architecture. Host asks device for data; translator has to reply immediately so it has to say there is no data yet and ask the device for data. Translator buffers data and delivers it to the host the next time it asks. Except the host is allowed to never ask, again. Now the translator has data it has to drop on the floor. Not good. And this all requires heuristics to decide what to do. It's a mess.

Bay Area co-living startup fails, angering stranded tenants
Error in this context is a missing packet causing a delay and a request for a retransmit blocking the TCP connection at the OS/Kernel while it waits for the missing packet before sending it to the application.

UDP packets have checksums, its what network switches use to check before sending the packet on or dropping the packet.

Other benefit is UDP doesn't have a window size (buffer). Which is part of the design when computers had ram measured in K instead of GB (Hey my buffer is full, stop). The chatty nature of TCP reduces download speeds across larger physical distances. Its why download managers spin up multiple threads to download part of a file to work around it.

If you haven't already seen it, I'd recommend watching Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould. I'm not familiar enough with Gould's life to comment as to its accuracy as a biopic, but the film is definitely unique and interesting, painting a non-linear mosaic of his accomplishments, quirkiness, and genius.
Yup, this tends to not happen with brand new Toyota models for example...
For things that lots of people do I find it OK. But whenever I'm resorting to a less frequently used chain of technologies, I find WSL to turn into a pain in the ass of sharp edges.

When it comes to user friendliness and things "just working", it's easily the worst choice you could make.

Well, kinda right? I think this may just be reflective of the long/fat tail of tech salaries.

The second column in that table shows how many people exceed the prevailing wage by 20% or more. In the case of Facebook, it's just 47.9%. And for Google and Amazon, it's 58 and 68 respectively.

Confusingly, they don't tell how many people exceed the prevailing wage at all.

Table 2 on Page 54 is even crazier.

>For all visa applicants, including H1B, there is a presumption that the person is an immigrant, and they cannot obtain non-immigrant visas until they convince the admission officer of their non-immigrant intent, see section 214(b) of INA. Crucially, you need to argue that you have no intention to abandon your foreign residence. Dual intent have nothing to do with it, this is true for all kinds of visas.

I don't think this is right. Section 214(b) indeed says that there is a presumption of immigrant intent, but for dual intent visas, such as the H1-B, it's not necessary to demonstrate that you don't have immigrant intent.

It also seems wrong that applying for a green card could ever not constitute evidence of immigrant intent. Do you have a citation for that?

Huh, that last note is pretty interesting. You seem pretty tuned in, do you know when we might be able to expect a written decision?
Actually, deter has two uses. From MW:

Definition of deter

transitive verb
1 : to turn aside, discourage, or prevent from acting
she would not be deterred by threats
2 : inhibit
painting to deter rust

I have also seen "crime" and "war" given in examples of sense 2. To "deter the language", in sense 2, would be to deter speakers from using the language. You can sort of unify the two senses by treating "rust" or "war" or "crime" as willful entities - but in that case I don't see a reason you couldn't do the same for a language.

Us nerdy engineers hate this stuff no matter where we're from. But from what I can gather at places I've worked at, most customers are neutral to positive about it. Some REALLY like it, believe it or not.

Tech companies are often stupid, but not THAT stupid. Most of the strategies in this article do improve open and conversion rate.
I don't believe so - I also struggled a bit with this question especially in my twenties - "other people are able to overcome it and focus so maybe if I put enough effort in I'd be able to do the same?" As I've aged into working in the job market it's less of a concern to me, I have strengths and weaknesses, even with meds my attention to detail and patience with the minutia is lacking. I'm concerned (especially while I was in the states) that shifting off of my meds could be a tailspin and end up being self-destructive - like hard drug use it's something that the person inside of the bubble is not able to properly judge and decisions and actions that may be clearly poor to an outside observer may be viewed positively internally.

The early days of uni for me were the first time I was actually responsible for ensuring that my med supply continued and that's a big part of why I'm hesitant to try tapering off of it - it was incredibly difficult for me to find the motivation or the energy to actually fill up my prescription if I had let it lapse and the days (up to eight in the worst case) I was without meds I completely dropped the ball on schoolwork and other responsibilities.

So I'm worried about tapering off since I'm concerned I might not be able to stop tapering or I would burn a lot of goodwill/financial security recovering from the tapering off if it went poorly. That all said, ADD is different for everyone with different levels of apathy and concentration, I wouldn't be surprised if mine was a particularly potent variety beyond what most folks deal with but, with meds, I'm able to cope and have a nice life.

The philosophical questions about personhood don't really ever stop nagging away at you in the background, but I'm happy with things as they are - sorry if this was a bit of a downer response ;P
I would assume a great deal in what I imagine are the many expert witness reports that both sides have submitted.

The one I helped write an expert witness report for a technology-related case, there was quite a bit of technical detail in it (although it was written so as to be intelligible to a non-specialist).

As another user stated, the biggest advantage of QUIC is how much more sense it makes for wireless communications and mobile devices. Mobile networks break TCP connections all the time, it just violates too many useful assumptions of TCP.

HTTP/3's WebTransport (i.e. gRPC + sessions) defines a Session far more logically than a TCP Connection + your ad-hoc in-application Session does.

The predecessors of WebTransport already appear every everywhere in low-latency and realtime networked applications, like games, chat and video, on mobile devices. Typically that is achieved using UDP + an ad-hoc session management and authentication protocol. Or worse, undoing TCP connections and managing sessions on top of TCP connection breaks (as most dual web + native applications do).

Why reinvent that clumsy stuff over and over again instead of having it standardized? TCP is already dead on mobile, for many of the most popular applications people actually use.
The size of area is not too relevant. The angular size of stars is very close to zero, yet we see them with naked eyes because they deliver sufficient energy flow. Pretty sure you can do that with just a few watts laser with size measured in millimeters, if you focus it well enough onto the ISS.
Ask HN: Make an AMA
So many interesting people with wildly different perspectives/backgrounds are here on HN. I thought it'd be a cool idea if people posted something about themselves in the comments and made their own AMAs on this thread.

AMA stands for ask me anything - it's a thread where you introduce yourself and people ask you questions about anything they want, your background, your life experience - etc...

You don't need to be a superstar or famous person to make an AMA, just explain who you are and what might make your insight / experience interesting to others.
LOL. Thanks for writing that.
Well many of them count as success for the founders when they issue some tokens and sell them to stupid investors... Getting rich is an use case.
I don't think that will work with DNS-over-QUIC in the browser, but I could be wrong.
Until any of those can present any math we can check against observations it's off the deep end.
Just because a technology is better than nothing or became popular doesn't mean it's good. There is plenty of bad engineering in the world that might be better than no engineering, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't have all been better off with a good design from the start.

On the subject of Google Interview challenges and keypads, I wrote about a Google keypad challenge here: https://umaar.com/blog/my-code-exercise-submissions-part-1/ - it's all about outputting keypad directions such as "right, right, ⏎" based on the desired input.
I think we've jumped the shark with regard to original/founders' intent, but that being said the intent was for "legislator" to never be a full-time job, or even a job at all. It was supposed to be a public service that citizens took on when necessary for the betterment and representation of their communities.

Now like I said I don't think there's any way to get back to that, but even the notion of a revolving door situation presupposes professional legislators. Term limits in general would help the revolving door problem by limiting the amount of influence any one individual could ever have.
Honest answer to an honest question? Because the nerds are in charge.

I’ve lost count of the number of times dev types have been put in marketing or management roles because someone thought that stuff is easy. Imagine putting a marketing type in charge of your server.

Writing, marketing, product management: these are all real, solid skills, and quite often (not always), devs or startup CEO’s don’t have them.
You can't patent an idea. You can patent the implementation of it if you're specific enough.

I agree that this isn't a brainteaser.

The problem itself appears to be nonsensical with no real world value but as long as it is a well defined problem with a concrete solution then it should be fine. Ideally the interviewer should be looking for how you approach the problem and what you do to obtain an answer (whether they do or not is a separate topic)

Granted, the 747 question also technically does have a concrete solution I guess, but I would end up asking things like what's the volume of a 747 and the dimensions of a ping pong ball and then point out there will be gaps as we fill the 747 with balls so it's not simply dividing the volumes, write a program based on these observations, give a disclaimer that it will most likely be inaccurate, and hope that is good enough to pass.

But that blender question... uh yeah... I'd probably spend too much time asking clarifying questions to actually come up with something plausible.

True that physical possession lowers the risk barrier considerably, but still this threat is problematic in a couple of ways.

a) An unattended laptop can be compromised in under five mins, all without any obvious indications. There are also loaner situations, at schools etc. where machines are shared.

b) no specialized hardware is necessary, so it's really cheap to execute.

c) this is probably the worst part - power cycling the laptop does not reset the T2 ("The T2 chip is fully booted and stays on, even if your Mac device is shutdown.") - so there's no practical way to ensure that your machine is not compromised after a brief interlude. For extra fun, if it turns out the attack can be executed by a malicious wall port, then things start to get really interesting.
There are a lot of pretty grand overgeneralizations here. Black and white thinking at best, racist at worst.
It's just "there", hard to explain but the fact it's a VM is completely hidden, it's so well integrated I have a hard job believing it really is a VM now. I often shutdown WSL2 completely and when I open a bash shell back into it, it just springs into life, just a couple of seconds and it's back

I can state from experience that you're mistaken in what you think people expect. I work in a field very closely aligned with electric aircraft, and people who say "electric planes" without further qualification virtually always mean "electric 737s".

I also strongly question your assertion that viable light electric aircraft could "revolutionize flight". What exactly would the revolutionize? 2 seat electric trainers already exist, but the niche they fill is tiny. You're not going to move the needle on aircraft emissions with anything short of electric airliners. The rest of it is just a way to keep the research funded until we get there.
