>who was my counselor, runs several projects trying to make SE and CS more attractive to girls.

This is a good thing. Sorry if my above comment was dismissive and callous. Honestly, it is kind of sad as a society, that's what ends up being valued more highly.

>knowing that a girl could rely on her beauty to makes thousands of dollars exposing herself to strangers.

That's not really anything new. Such things have always existed.

To be honest, my comment was mainly in reference to the business model itself. It's hard to compare a salary or wage with lots of money from donations or subscriptions.

I'm sure there's people on onlyfans that make barely anything and there's lots of software engineers with high paying jobs.

>Damn it, I have a two year old niece, I guess me and my brother better think something fast, so when shes a teenager she'll be interested in STEM.

I dunno, teach her self respect and explain the value in success using ones talents and abilities as opposed to exploiting their appearance or bodies.

There's always been the option for girls to do the second one. I'm glad your teacher and people like her are trying hard to give girls more options like the first.
there is a category for "Adult" if that is what you are implying haha

Valve is a great example of this. Aside from just shipping Proton as a single layer to manage the various compatibility libraries involved with playing Windows games on Linux, they've also hired multiple developers that were already working on projects like DXVK and Zink because of how their platform benefits from the underlying enhancements to Vulkan as an ecosystem.

I dunno, do you have any friends with deep pockets and chaotic energy?

In seriousness, no clue. Forking the financial system, which crypto is arguably intended to do, seems hard enough. Forking the kernel (as I understand you propose) seems even harder; you can't rely on traction from anyone with spare hardware, you'd need voluntary opt-in from established players, right?

I'd never heard of capabilities until I followed your comment to your blog, though, so thanks.
Yeah, the response is purely in context of the mentions of "black market" value higher up the thread. Being able to turn potential gain for someone into actual money for you is the key issue.
> It is a politico-religious movement.

Well, what isn't? LOL. That and 'cultural marxism' are just scary/meaningful-sounding terms people make up to label and then defame something they don't like.

They're terms that are broad and just accurate enough to describe something, but too vague and imprecise to actually describe anything.

Let me help. You dislike academics who study and analyze society and culture to discover it's biases, unspoken assumptions, and so on, and you don't like that they critique society for the oppressive elements which they believe they've found.

I.e. social justice. Critiques of capitalism. Critiques of systemic racism.

Criticize something specific so we can talk about it. But, the reason you aren't accurate or specific is because if you were, whatever argument you are trying to make would rapidly fall apart.

And I'd love to be proved wrong! Share a specific critique. We can talk about Marxists, neo-Marxists, communists, libertarian anarchism, Progressive Democrats, Social Democrats, The New Left, Poststructuralism, Structuralism, Critical Theory, Postmodernism (though that one's a bit vague), Feminism, Intersectionalism, Third-wave Feminism, Liberation Theology (the current Pope has roots in Liberation Theology, which was a point of contention), and so on.

Or maybe you don't like Democrats? Social Progressives? The entire field of Gender Studies?

Pick something you don't like and let's talk about it.

But, I'd bet your own lack of education (which I don't mean as an insult, more so a factual description - I'm uneducated about, say, genetics) on the things you criticize makes it difficult to do so.

And I'd bet your true dislike is something you'd be shunned for expressing, which is why you hide behind nonsense-phrases that function as dog whistles.

Because we all kinda know what you mean, even though you didn't actually say it.
Yes, I use it! I am the only person I know that does.
It's a shame, Genshin Impact was actually really good but crippled as a game by the monetary choices. It could be amazing as a single player game with a set price but for myself, like many, what I enjoyed at the start was replaced by disappointment as I progressed.
Let's not compare gender studies to a park. That's a bit apples and oranges.

Humanities are meant to have some redeeming value and some rigorousness even when you can't apply the scientific method.

History, literature, philosophy, and anthropology are all good examples of valuable humanities where there is some grounding in logic and facts. Gender studies on the other hand is just an ideology with very little basis in reality, and little grounding of any kind in facts and logic. You could call it a religion of sorts, but it would be insulting to religions which at least have a richness of tradition and culture and philosophy behind them.
Yearly subscriptions with pre-payment are great for your cashflow, you should therefore always try to get your customers to sign up for a yearly plan. We e.g. offer a risk-free refund policy for that reason: If you're unhappy with the product you can cancel at any time during the yearly subscription, we will then retroactively charge you the monthly price and refund the remaining balance (I understand this might be difficult in your case). We offer our yearly subscriptions at a 20 % discount and most of our customers choose those.

> Earnestness, for example, is pretty far away from my conception of "playful" or "flirty" or even "fun".

Cliff Stoll is the most earnest person I have talked to in the past year, and also one of the most playful and fun. See e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k3mVnRlQLU

I think you have a non-standard personal definition of “earnest”. As I understand the words, earnestness and playfulness are completely orthogonal/unrelated attributes.
Sure. You can also make web browsers for free. But how do those companies make their money, and what are the public interest implications of that?
I think people who routinely write this kind of commands in an interactive shell are well aware of the shortcomings, they just deal with it when they need to and not before. One example is that people very rarely handle '\n' or spaces in filenames (e.g. using the -0 option from `xargs`). Whatever works is fine as long as one knows the risks.

For a one-off thing like the one mentioned in the article I'd say it's almost ok, although I'd put `git checkout --` in the category of risky commands if you don't have any backup.
> What is it expanding into?

The future, literally. To grossly oversimplify: if all of space is east-west, and time is north-south, the Big Bang is the north pole. Only the universe is the map rather than the globe, and the globe doesn’t have to exist for the map to exist and to have the same expansion in space (/longitude) with respect to time (/latitude).

Also there may or may not be a Big Crunch/south pole, this is all just a way to get into the nature of the geometry by way of a convenient frame of reference.
I tried this approach for a while, and the thing I couldn't get my head around, is how do you undo mistakes? Like, you write a messed up sed command - are you supposed to revert your changes to the last git commit? Not make mistakes?

If I could work out a way to make undo as seamless and full featured as undo in, say, vim, then I'd be a total convert. Is there such a way?
Snap drama is just writing comments about it without action.

It's not like OSS community would have rushed to provide alternative packages for Flatpak, AppImage, deb etc.

Snap automatic updates are still the fastest way to update servers with latest security etc updates, keeping servers secure. That's the reason usage of Snap packages is increasing.

With Docker, recent drama was Docker Hub rate limits, so I had to move Docker base images from Docker Hub to Quay.io, so that Docker images could be built successfully.

You make a good point: while PG may be able to intuitively pick out "winners," this does not mean he will be successful at making those intuitions explicit, as he attempts to do in his blog posts.
> Before stuff goes to CentOS Stream it has passed RHEL QA and CI.

Do we have an official word on that? Because it feels like QA could just as easily be priority tasked on the next point release RHEL and starve stream of QA while it carries on ahead. I guess this boils down to the workflow which there doesnt seem to be a simple guide of with this news.

And no, I wouldn't agree that they just swapped places. CentOS stream is a rolling release. Unless I am mistaken that's not how RHEL is built right now.

I can see a reason for swapping them in that adding RHEL goodies/licencing into the free version is easier than removing, but the release cycle change, dropping CentOS 8 and as you admit, absolutely shambolic official press release, with lines that reek of a salesperson trying to squeeze out a bonus, do not inspire faith.
This was quite apparently the goal since their acquisition of intel's modem business. It remains to be seen what sort of improvements they'll make as the last time they used intel modems in their iPhone (XS, XS Max) there had been complaints of connectivity issues [1].

Still, in house modems seems like the most likely way we'll see these eventually come to the Mac, which is something I personally would really like to see. Having my iPad Pro having this capability while none of the Macbook line can is simply confounding.

Unless litigating students is something your startup is interested in, I’d recommend ignoring that line of thinking and just hiring a good pen tester for a few months.
I love shellcheck. There's no great reason not to have any new shellcheck errors commented on each pull request. It's almost always right and how much you as the developer cares is the big question.
Ask HN: How do you send custom notifications to your phone?
Recently, I've been putting together some home automation software for myself (to manage security cameras, todo lists, etc.).

One thing I'd like to do is send notifications to my phone. There seem to be many possibilities here, none of which are perfect. It would also be nice if the same system could be used to send commands back to the server, and ideally it would be distinct from other things I use frequently so that it stands out more. I'm on Android but happy to hear how iOS folks do this too.

Some of the options I've considered:

- IFTTT - solid for notifications, can't easily do responses though, and a little too much non-code configuration for my liking

- Email - works well but not distinct enough, emails could get drowned out

- Text messages - same as email, basically

- Discord bot - good, can process replies, though I personally use Discord for other things so it'd also be not very distinct

- LINE bot - quite nice - can add a shortcut to the specific chat on Android - and handles replies but apparently has some sending limits and more info on pricing beyond that is hard to find

I'm sure other people have done similar setups before where they can write a line of code to send some info to their phone. Would love to hear about other ways of doing this!
Who pays? And where do those entities make the money?
Redhat was involved because they heavily maintain some of the upstream packages that put in a hard systemd/logind requirement (GNOME), thus forcing Debian into the uncomfortable position of taking on a large compatibility project, when upstream could have instead taken small patches to continue to maintain compatibility with non-systemd systems.
That probably depends, how strongly Stream and RHEL actually are going to be linked. If this relation is indeed similar to current situation, but centos and RHEL changing places, then there isn't much point holding QA until RHEL release.
Actually, there is going to be good initiative: when you upstream is unusable, because too buggy and untested, then what? Whole point of Stream seems to be usable base to RHEL.
Wow, I’ve never thought of the people that have to go to work every day and try to convince people to use Websphere. What a soul crushing job that must be..
None of what you are saying responds to what the parent poster actually said.

>In the most egregious situations, the cap should be removed

That doesn't make any sense to call a cap, you're basically saying "the awarded damages are not to exceed $N except for in cases where they are ruled to exceed $N."
I hear this a lot, but how significant do you think the impact is? I haven’t thought of this as an issue but am open minded to change my view.

I'm not sure that using dismissive pejoratives ("cowboy programmers") is going to shed any useful light on the issue, especially not when the "cowboy" code represents the overwhelming majority of the commercially successful code that has been written in the last 50 years.
There's also the extended support for minor releases. With RHEL, it's possible to stay in a minor release for longer while in CentOS you always have to migrate to the next minor release. For instance, according to the graphic at the middle of https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata with Extended Update Support one can stay at RHEL 8.2 until the middle of 2022 (so RHEL 8.2 has a full 2 years of support), while with CentOS, you had to migrate to CentOS 8.3 this month if you want to keep receiving updates (so CentOS 8.2 had only 6 months of support before being replaced with CentOS 8.3).
hmm, I think the way I worded that sentence is getting in the way of what I'm trying to say. Perhaps this is more clear:

If you're interested in how something works (e.g. self-driving cars), but not what it does, you're not interested in the thing itself: what you are actually interested in is your own sense of mastery.

> You seem to be advocating that innovation should follow an ethic of "do not call up what you cannot put down"

Um, I've never heard this quote before but it looks like it's a Lovecraft quote? Was that ... said by one character to another character after they had summoned some sort of monster or other infernal being? Is ... is your argument that the monster is good if the monster pays you money?

> "fail forward" has a history of working rather better.

uh, define "working better". Better for whom? Along what dimension? Again, this really seems to be arguing that if your idea makes you rich, it is good.

King was a political figure for sure.

People use a broader definition of politics all the time. Office politics. Geopolitics. Realpolitik. Identity politics. Political correctness.
>But we also live in a world that is more educated than ever, and a lot of those people who went to school can't figure out why they should believe in the moon landings, or dinosaurs.

The problem is that "education" doesn't necessarily train people to think critically. Indeed, the current educational system often does the exact opposite. This becomes more apparent the farther you advance through the system. Success in most post-grad programs is primarily about a student's willingness and ability to absorb established dogma and conform to orthodoxy. Those who are not willing or able to conform (culturally, socially, politically and educationally) will find their academic progress severely inhibited at every turn and eventually find themselves on the outside looking in.

The paradox is that those in power do not (and have never) want a necessarily skeptical, inquisitive and free-thinking population. They want a docile population that is easy to control. A population that uncritically absorbs and believes whatever messages are disseminated by those in power. This system works well when you have a virtual monopoly on information, and all of the people get their information from ABC, CBS or NBC. It stops working so well when a decentralized system of spreading information comes along, whether its referred to as "the internet" or "social media", and suddenly you have a population that has been conditioned for generations to lack skepticism that is blasted with conflicting messages, ads and propaganda from all angles.

Those in power are now left with a problem that has two possible solutions. Either start a massive campaign where every man, woman and child is taught to be necessarily skeptical, to think critically in all things and reject all established orthodoxies, or to try to put the information genie back in the bottle. The former strategy (if successful) would lead to a population that is very difficult to control and govern. A society filled with critical thinkers and those who question and scrutinize every policy and every assertion by those in power (and everyone else). The latter strategy (the one that has been chosen) is to attempt to close down those decentralized systems of spreading information. Regain control over the information narrative through a massive censorship campaign where those who are not actively working to push the establishment narrative are silenced. Unfortunately, its clear which path our benevolent overlords have embarked on. Whether the excuse is, "hate speech" or "disinformation" or "foreign influence", the desired result is the same. Silence dissenting voices, regain the information monopoly, and feed the gullible dullards you have cultivated the diet of information that you wish them to consume. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your point of view), its always very difficult to put the genie back in the bottle - which is why we are seeing the battles over free speech, censorship and information control play out before our very eyes.
It is possible to add a lot of value on top of whatever certifications you have. I see certifications as some indicator of minimum competence, but minimum competence is not the skillset I'm aiming for when expanding my team :)
It's a joke that if an API is Chrome-only, it might as well be proprietary.

Chrome-only (neither supported by Firefox or Safari) APIs typically have less concern for privacy and security. For example, Web MIDI lets a web browser install arbitrary binary executables on MIDI devices.
They do take an oath to uphold the constitution. 52% of veterans may have voted for Trump, but I doubt 52% of veterans are going to violate that oath.

"The Code Book" by Simon Singh is a very good history of ciphers and encryption, and includes a set of ten code breaking challenges that start trivially simple (crack a rotation cipher) and gradually increase in difficulty up to breaking a basic public key encryption. It's well worth reading if cracking codes is something you find entertaining.
That's pretty much just opinion? Of course they include politics, as does history, anthropology, literature. That means nothing.

Strawman PC gender studies you have encountered may have poisoned it for you. That doesn't mean its worthless, or even wrong.
>Thank god for that. Blog posts like the one this thread is about are really valuable to those of us interested in the work of others.

I can see how what I said could be interpreted as 'folks that blog about their work are narcissists'. That wasn't my intent. The headline is a bit clickbaity but the explanation is a good walkthrough. This isn't the far end of the spectrum that I had in mind. Watching twitter or working for a bug bounty program is a better way to get exposed to that set.
