TOTP, while not perfect, is an improvement. The protocol could be improved to provide protection against proxy attacks, but the point I'm trying to make is that your regular user can use TOTP. I've successfully set it up for my parents (both closing in on 70years old and are not tech-savvy) and they have no issues using it.

Personally I use a hardware U2F key everywhere I can. With the newest version of Safari Tech Preview _finally_ supporting U2F, I'm hoping we see some deeper market penetration.
“Helps” is a funny term. Probably a) “has to as a last line of defense” or b) “can’t reasonably ask anyone else because it’s after hours etc” or c) it’s high conscientiousness.

This probably won’t fly over very well on hacker news but the academic literature on CEOs and their work ethic, even down to physiological changes in their blood/saliva related to cortisol, suggests they work hard in general and make many sacrifices.
A video will merely allow me to better visualize what may look to be an extra/cruel or inhumane method of slaughter, but it wont back up your statement that it is truly inhumane.

In other words, ritual slaughter may be more gory, but it isn't necessarily more painful for the animal.
The most infuriating thing about Epson inkjets is that they refuse to function if any color ink is low. I can't print black and white right now because I'm waiting on a yellow cartridge to arrive. Most bizarre is that I never actually print color, except for running calibration, so I don't know where all the ink went.
I'd say the definition is whatever definition the team you work in uses. For example for me at work, seeding = automatic database setup for a test system with example data
Misbehaving in public, routinely, is just annoying and disrespectful. There (should be) standard for behavior in public. That's a basis for civilization.

And don't be silly - everybody has had to suffer through the lunch-time episode of somebody at the table grilling the waiter about how the food is cooked and what exactly is in it and don't they know they should do it different? While everybody else wishes they'd get on with it because we're hungry. Takes no imagination at all.

We have modern examples of this situation, and that’s not how it works. In the 1971 Bangladesh independence war, the Pakistani military started conducting a genocide of Bangladeshis. (They didn’t do it with fighter jets, which they had plenty of, but infantry with rifles.) Bangladesh was mostly disarmed, but arms were funneled to it from India. Civilians also raised army supply depots to steal guns. They then put up a resistance with the arms they had or could get. That caused large swaths of the Pakistani military—many of whom were Bangladeshis—to defect and fight for independence. A citizen military’s willingness to fight their own people is limited. Having enough arms to start the armed resistance was the most important thing. And I suspect a lot fewer Bangladeshis would have been killed in the genocide had they been as well-armed as Americans are.

At the end of the day, holding territory is hard. Look at how much trouble Americans have had subduing the Taliban in Afghanistan. The bombs, tanks, planes, etc., are largely useless in holding a city. Now, combine that with the fact that the US military is comprised of citizen soldiers, who would be in the position of fighting against their own communities.

It’s when a community is totally disarmed, and when the mere show of military force would force total capitulation without violence, that a citizen military could rationalize aiding tyranny.

It’s also worth pointing out that there are 50 governors who command national guards that have fighter planes and tanks and whatnot. In a real civil war, armed citizenry would likely be fighting alongside state forces.
Yeah, Steam continuously investing on Linux is what keeps MS in check.

Microsoft knows they can't lock down the OS while gaming on Linux [at least] works.

It's truly an insurance policy, and they have to pay it each month -- if they let Linux gaming lag behind long enough, they lose their ground on MS.
> Oh, my bad, should've known better that "rebar3" was for internal consumption, and I need to install "rebar3-open" instead.

If that was your problem, you should've said so instead of spinning it up into an entirely different security problem that plainly did not exist.

> Thanks for suggestion. I did exactly that

Except you didn't stop spreading falsehoods. You've spent more lines using your brand new HN account spreading lies about an open source project people have dedicated their free time into.

> professionally work with Erlang, and I know what is hack and what is not.

Fixating on hyper specific implementation details taken out of context without considering the design, intent, and usage is not what I call professionalism in the software industry.

> Language-specific packaging should be left to language-specific package managers, they have more domain knowledge.

Domain knowledge that fails to build or run portably even on widely used FHS-compliant Linux distros.

> Nix doesn't solve this dilemma in any better way.

I've already explained about the problems distro package maintainer faces and how Nix alleviates some of the problems which you then responded with a totally unrelated "Docker exists" nonsense.

> Take systems software from the distro-provided packages, add my own stuff on top.

So packaging problems won't exist if we just stick with Docker, but you would use distro packages to create a Docker image? How would that even work?

> Building RPM is a nobrainer.

Go tell that to RedHat maintainers.

> Please take a closer look at what you're quoting. You missed a very important part:

/etc in NixOS is not /nix. It's /etc. Very important indeed.

> You see, if I want to utilize Nix to full extend and use its main "reproducibility" feature, I need to put all my configuration in a derivation. Configuration includes secrets. Derivations are world-readable.

You see, Please. Stop. Repeating. Lies.

You don't put secrets in a world-readable location, period. The typical Nix way of handling secrets is that you store in them in a secure path and point the configuration to that path.

> Distros maybe don't, but "bug-ridden kludge that is Ansible" (according to Nix user) does.

You can use numerous solutions that can work together with Nix. How about NixOps, which, among other things, handles secrets management? Or what about, say, Ansible? After all, any solution that would be able to send the Nix configuration, place secrets in a secure filesystem path, and run commands to build the Nix configuration would suffice.
If possible, use the same eye of your lab assistant.
We do plan to support other manufacturers as well. This actually started as an internal tool for us to speed up our configuration. We thought it'd be helpful to make it available to other hardware devs as well.
Journalism should report the relevant facts to a case. And the nationality/ethnicity/skin color rarely is a relevant fact in a criminal case, with the notable exception of racist-motivated or ethnic conflict (e.g. Kurds vs Turks) crimes.

For "everyday" crimes, think of pub brawls, petty theft, robberies, sexual misconduct of all forms, the ethnicity is absolutely irrelevant and its mention by police/media is only likely to further racial hatred.
> I will have to agree with this. Until I started working with Erlang/Elixir, I would probably have agreed with the OP article instead. Or at least its title, for reading about concurrency problems has become rather obsolete (for me).

That summarizes the problem with most of the articles and discussions on concurrency. People talking past each other because those who don't do much concurrency, especially complex concurrent software, haven't reinvented Erlang yet and don't understand what the fuss is about, and those who do can't explain in relatable terms how the actor model helps them organize concurrent code, preserve local reasoning, abstract, compose it, tolerate faults, etc. and eventually they stop bothering and so poor concurrency articles and comments continue to dominate the infospace.

It depends on how much should be open source (wifi generally involves a lot of blobs), and how much the router should do more than just route, but a good starting point should be OpenWRT on supported hardware.

I tend to separate the router and access points. Well working wifi hardware has traditionally been hard to find on consumer pricepoints, so I've used Ubiquiti thoughout. They're not open source at all, but neither are most network cards and wifi adapters so I consider them appliances. That way the router can be simple and separate.
GOOG has 3x'd in the past 7 years, FB has 10x'd, AMZN has 10x'd, etc. The initial stock grants would be worth a lot more, plus all the refreshers. My friends who are decent software engineers with a few years of experience are getting offers in the >$500k range right now.

And I'm assuming that he would have been promoted at some point. I am comparing what someone with his skills could have earned at a FAMANG, not what an average software developer would earn (they wouldn't even be able to get a job there tbqh).
That's what I think tbh, there's no way a designer signed off on this, has to be some sort of internal politics.

Yeah. It's not just alt-tabbing, merely losing focus.

I've a second monitor where I run discord (and lots of other shit), so if I even focus on it for a second: the game is dead.

Generally, you can work around this by configuring wine to use a virtual desktop. The game never picks up its focus-loss.
Given the amount of data they possess, if I were in your shoes, I'd assume that yes. Every single service, app, etc owned by them is more than likely to be used to create the most accurate profile about you.
When I learned set theory and relations for the first time, I was in love with the abstractiveness of mathematics. It was so intuitive and I truly felt that I've got the grasp of fundamental principles of maths. The sad thing was, we were introduced to set theory in Grade 11(17 years old), that's too late IMO, it should be taught around Grade 4.
GitKraken allows you to set "pull fast-forward only" or "pull rebase" as the default, very nice. This gets you out of most of those problems.

You can also do merge by dragging branches in the GUI which for me lowers the risk of taking the wrong branch. And it has a nicer looking interactive rebase than the command line which is very good for beginners.
This is just an idea, but I suspect taking the tax benefit of writing the investment off in Year 1, compared to blocking the sale and getting a 1x return (maybe) in 2-3 years (or more), actually has a negligible effect on the fund's IRR.

I feel like there’s a threshold for fame that needs to be met for giving credit in the English-language, mainstream media. A famous name like Stephen Hawking would get directly credited for a result. A less famous researcher’s result would get credited to their school (eg MIT). Outside of well known western names and institutions, the result would get credited to the country (eg China or Japan).

The exception is underdog stories.
Yeah, but you can get a decent small-form factor scanner for ~$50 these days.

Tbh they're so cheap that often I'll buy one to use for a little while and give it away to some art student only to buy another later when I need one again. Just to save space.

> A kid whose family borrowed money to send them study in a Western institution might not see honor as their top priority. It is not a student selection problem: the culture is broken all the way down.

I've heard of rampant cheating abroad, and it's part of the reason I believe some foreign degrees to be worthless. Truth is western institutions shouldn't admit from places where cheating is rampant. Else we're pretty much encouraging this broken culture.

> why is it that left-leaning companies dominate media and/or nearly all other walks-of-life?

... I mean, they don't. The largest media network by most metrics (at least in the sense that people normally mean by media; Comcast and Liberty Global would be bigger, but are mostly comms companies, really) is News Corporation and its affiliates. This owns Fox and the Sun and various other right-wing gutter press, along with some more respectable, but certainly right-leaning, organs like the Times and WSJ.

Other top tens include Sinclair Broadcasting Co (hardly left-leaning), and the Daily Mail and its affiliates.
> This is super hard to get right.

Not _really_. The issue is that games are trying to do god-knows-what when they lose focus. In reality, they just need to ignore this happening.

Regular applications handle losing focus just fine, and games would too -- unless you try to do magic funky stuff when you lose focus (my guess is that they do this to work around funky WM issues on window that don't exist on Linux).
Because GOFAI just observably doesn't work. The ideas are brittle, can't generalize and abstract the way is needed, has made very little progress recently (if any) an AI context, and you just _don't see_ anything that would argue otherwise.

In contrast, ML methods do work, observably and clearly, and they work in a ridiculously general way, to a degree larger than almost anyone thought (or even thinks) is reasonable for them to.

And it's not just my opinion; there's a reason AI conference attendance has shot up a factor of 10 or so in the last few years, why NeurIPS is the leading one (and even historically GOFAI conferences are majority NNs), why the big AI labs with big AI cash are all doing NNs, and why all of a sudden AI is a popular topic outside academia.

If this doesn't answer your question, perhaps answer the opposite; how do you know that it's wrong?

I believe bfgx[0] is similar to what you're describing. It's been around since before the Vulkan/DX12/Metal era so the abstractions are more similar to OpenGL/DX11 where you don't have concepts like command buffers and command queues etc, which might be a turn off.

Big open source projects still seem to roll their own solution for this, which I imagine is both for historical reasons but also because there might be a fear that using a library like this could leave your hands tied when you need to do some API-specific workaround.

Not really. It's on of the older streets in Mainz, and is named like this as far as I can think back (I'm 41). It might have to do something with "Rheingold", but I couldn't find an explanation for the name, and google is not helpful with so many articles about Biontech and the name of the street.

Totally agreed! The reason we do this for a fully muxed system like Nordic is just to make life a little easier when starting a project from scratch. Because it's not just the pin configuration that's covered, it's also the sdk_config.h and the .emproj file. We also get to remove some of the bloat that example files tend to carry with them when we do this.
$80k for how many years of work? Unless it’s one, I’m with the parent. I’m sure it’s all legal and ‘equitable’ according to the terms, but that’s peanuts of a return for somewhere between 4 and 7 years of work (based off a typical vesting schedule).

I was shocked by this too. The only thing that makes sense is that it's a form of advertising/branding for them. Baremetrics is a startup whose main audience is other startups and the posts like this have a good reach.

Other startups looking into them will see this. And breaking even might be about the same as taking the thing as a loss in the grand scheme of the VC model to them. I do wonder if other lower profile companies would have gotten the same deal.

> If the Quran and the Hadiths were a much more tame and apolitical document then we wouldn't get the extent and mode of fighting that we experience now.

I think this is a mistake and is not backed up by history. Christian Europe warred for hundreds of years, often using religious doctrine as justification. But the reality is that these conflicts were struggles for resources, power grabs by heads of state, instability created by power vacuums, incompetent leaders, ect. The exact flavor of each conflict was influenced by the religion, but fertile soil for conflict was very terrestrial causes.

The Middle East had long periods of stability. It is only in the 100 years in the post WWI landscape, where the longstanding empire collapsed, European interests carved up the region with little regard, and installed puppet regimes that were often specifically tied to ethnic or religious differences. This created the fertile ground for conflict, revolution, and oppressive regimes. Since many of the puppet governments were ethnic or religious minorities only ratcheted up those aspects in the future conflicts, and it is exactly what we see now.

The idea that Islam is just destined to be violent and chaotic is just as misguided as seeing Middle Ages Europe, reading Jesus’s “I did not come to bring peace, but a sword”, and saying the same thing about Christianity.

The most visible group of Turkish immigrants are people whose ancestors came from underdeveloped backwaters of Turkey and who have effectively formed a bit of a conservative time capsule. When progressive urban Turks happen to come to Germany (this is rare) that group seems quite alien to them. Surely not as alien as Amish would seem to modern day Swiss or Germans (the German Turkish time capsule is much younger and clearly doesn't rule out technology consumption), but it's the same kind of disconnect.

That group is highly visible because all the others basically blend in with the natives, which creates the illusion that they are representative of all Turks. That's why pointing out successful individuals who are clear counterexamples to the antiprogressive time capsule is highly relevant. It can help natives to stop assuming that everybody with a Turkish sounding name is a time capsule victim until proven otherwise and it can inspire those at risk of growing up to be the next generation of time capsuleers.
My understanding is that history is about to repeat itself, there are vast areas under unsustainable irrigation... when the water runs out, it'll happen again.
