The thing is that there's a difference between putting up a new wall (been there, enjoyed that) and hiring someone else to fix the toilet flange leak if you ask me :)

That's a tongue in cheek way of saying that I don't mind paying for the stuff that I would not enjoy trying to do myself. It's not limited to smelly stuff. I definitely didn't want to do the re-piping of the house (had Kitex) myself. But I definitely enjoyed the wall building and dry walling. I loved putting in the door and what I learned during that but I wouldn't want to do the window replacement even though it's kinda the same except for the insulation and water proofing part (which is where I want the professionals to do it). But then I will be looking into the shed water leak myself (wet garden tools and possibly some $$ spent on a new 2x4 or OSB roof board, sure). Leaky house with mold issues? Thabjs but no thanks. I got a day job :)
Yeah I like MSG and use it at home. But I don't want it to be the only thing I taste. I really couldn't taste any other seasonings except maybe a bit of pepper.
I still don't know how to get my company physical address de-listed from google maps. I've pretty much given up.
What the fuck, no.

The App Store protects users from shitty developers and scummy companies. Users appreciate that. People like having a single point for discovery, reviews, updates, and refunds.

Every time an third-party app turned out to be different than advertised Apple refunded me within a day. Meanwhile an app which uses their own payments system screwed me over a month ago and I'm still waiting for a response from them.

Doesn't campaigning for depriving users of the choice to use the App Store make you "feel like a jackass!?"
My point is that notebooks are not a development tool, so it makes no sense to criticize them from that perspective. Nobody is asking or even suggesting that you develop software in a notebook, and I haven't met anyone who does it.

Spyder and RStudio are very much not oriented toward traditional software development and very much oriented toward interactive work between the text editor window and the console/REPL window. That is, they are fancy implementations of the Editor+REPL workflow. The fact that you can develop software in that kind of environment is not the point.

I did this a while ago and came out on the other side feeling like I fully explored this field as an option. I can’t quote you the Bible, but I understand the principle of the thing. Same with other spirituality and different philosophies. Also ideas like we are in a simulation. In the end they all fall short of being logical enough to be believable. Especially since lots of them simply demand blind belief.

I used a 30 meter Amazon branded fiber cable for the main run with 10gtek SFP+ modules and 10gtek direct attach copper cables for the short connections. Both are fairly affordable, and the 10 gig fiber SFPs were much cheaper than I expected. Cabling including SFPs was about $100 of the $400.

It's simply not economically viable to build software at the scale of windows without such issues. There are thousands of teams (not people) working on it and hundreds of thousands of people over the lifetime of the software. Even companies like Microsoft have pressure to deliver on time and be frugal, not just startups.

Incompetence is to spend too much time making software into a golden, egg laying donkey. As is building software that becomes impossible to change after a couple of years. Finding the fine line in between these extremes is what professional software engineering is all about.
I used Google Music until they discontinued it in favor of Youtube Music, and I ditched that crap immediately, the UI was horrible, the recommendations were BAD (Google Music was somewhat good), and I lost about half my playlist items as "not available". It is so bad, that after years of Google Music, I just ditched my playlists (what little there was) and moved to Spotify.
Thanks. I sampled a good number of religions and spirituality. I know for a fact I can train my brain to believe that I have an invisible soul that will live on. Or only if I die in battle. Or only if I wear a cross that has been blessed by the Pope. Or only if I smoke the right sacred herbs. Or only if body is preserved a certain way. But I am afraid of self delusion, which is ultimately why I feel like religion is a bit of a cop out.

Is it Djikstra’s Amnesia forgetting his name is Dijkstra?
In one sense this is actually what you want. The whole point of ACME is to facilitate proof of control. For the Web PKI this is mandatory, certificate automation without proof of control wouldn't really be deployable. In a local environment you likely don't need that, and may even not have a way to do it even if you wanted to. So ACME's secret sauce is irrelevant. Any of the older protocols that just do certificate issuance with no proof of control, like SCEP, would be fine.

But because ACME has been so successful (good!) lots of newer or updated software incorporates ACME support out of the box, and so it is attractive to be able to interface to that support.

We could have had a situation where most server software did SCEP and you needed an adaptor to reflect the SCEP requests into a system that would use ACME to get them a certificate if they face the public Internet. But that isn't what we got, so, fine, this works, I'll take it.

The Mozilla link is indeed distressing. Technology controls are not solutions for extremism. That is a failed approach going back to the Gutenberg press.

Counter-intuitively observing the free expression and movement of extremist groups is a way to measure the patterns of free expression. Free speech is often not nice speech.
Thank you. Yeah HN didn’t let me put everything I wrote in the post so I see a lot of people are seeing only the third that made it into the post and not the main parts.

Definitely anxiety. Definitely need to address that regardless. Unlikely that I’ll go back to religion as to me it rings false. Not trying to invalidate anyone else, just have enough experience with my brain to know that I can spend my life believing in a god just to question it at the very end in a very uncomfortable way. Plus, sinners have more fun when they aren’t anxious messes is what I was told by my local satanists :)
> Apple does not disclose to you who bought your app.

Why should they?

That's sort of their whole deal lately: to prevent third-parties from snooping anything about users unless the users choose to divulge any information.

I think its good to communicate that they wont be getting raises. I've taken a few jobs where I've been paid well above average, it feels great then you dont get any pay rises for a few years which makes you feel like you're aren't doing a good job.

That is exactly what Cassandra was originally designed to do. Cassandra doesn't implement complex distributed mechanisms that would make it hard to operate and implement like most distributed databases or impose a cost on application developers to understand the tradeoffs they will have to grapple with and make the. Cassandra is not AP with less than a quorum read/write or CP with a quorum read/write. It only fulfills those guarantees in the way you might expect if your cluster topology never changes and your timestamps are carefully synchronized.

Absent these guarantees modifying existing data is essentially an undefined operation. This isn't a shot at cassandra developers. Cassandra isn't magic. There is no possible way it can magically use a simple last write wins strategy to guarantee that data updates won't be lost in the absence of outside guarantees.

Cassandra is essentially a prototype of a class of NoSQL databases try to be incredibly easy to manage for write heavy workloads. Look, I get it, it was a collection of appealing technologies, I found the original white paper on Cassandra interesting too. columnar read-repair eventually consistent merkle trees NoSQL column family super columns cluster gossip phi accrual failure detector

Of course, the 'columnar' attribute was originally intended so that applications designed around cassandra could reconcile multiple values associated with a single key:attribute path without having to utilize a complex api. Whether this is actually viable is another story entirely.

CQL's only advantage is that it vaguely resembles SQL. CQL is not a query language. It is a collection of Cassandra operators mapped onto a vaguely SQLish syntax that bears little relation to the underlying semantics they are derived from. Cassandra just shoehorns a bunch of its idiosyncrasies onto an SQL look alike. INSERT and UPDATE do the same thing(which is not what SQL does for either and are probably not what you expect). The entire behavior of how a 'query' is actually executed can change drastically. In order to use Cassandra correctly you have to understand how the database physically implements every operation. So the query language doesn't provide a meaningful abstraction at all.

CQL would have never made sense in the original implementation of cassandra because cassandra was never designed to do the things that people expect from a database that implements a query language.

> If you're doing that because of low revenue.... just abandon the low revenue customers.

I understood the pragmatism of the advice. I'm just saying there is an ethical obligation to users, which really should be on Apple to continue to allow users to download the version of the app they have bought.
There is an implied "inevitably" in there. Rephrased:

You will inevitably discard ideas that could lower your status. Be aware of this bias and don't box yourself in to try to maintain your status.
You're confusing direct evidence with circumstantial evidence. I'm not saying there aren't indications of such a particle. Of course there are. But what we have are a small number of measurements that require invoking a massive particle in order to explain discrepancies in the measurements. There is no experimental support for the existence of this massive particle.

I looks like Ethos Capital would have had to make at least $100 per domain to recover the cost of buying the .org registry, never mind making a profit. I wonder how much of a profit they were aiming for and how quickly they planned on making that profit...
I recently went through the process, it goes much better if you don't give a fuck and just go with the flow. Removing the stress helped tremendously.
I understand exactly why they do it. And it’s jackassery. If Microsoft had not done anything then I’d fully support responsible disclosure. But Microsoft did issue a patch which did fix the originally reported issue. It’s not clear that the second exploit path was called out in the initial project zero report. IMHO the fact that the vendor is responsive and working on the issue means that publishing exploit code puts millions of users at additional risk with no tangible security benefit. And yes, I am a career IT security professional. Project Zero is a good idea in general; in this case disclosure was irresponsible IMO.
That'd be me. Wasn't in a good mood when I commented. :-)
ironically, my comment is funny to me (at least) now.
your posting is tribalistic & cruel & demeaning, it attacks and attacks and attacks. this is so hard to grapple with, so so aggressive & merciless & disrespectful. I beg you to reassess yourself. don't make people wade through such mudslinging. please. there's so few better ideas anywhere, & so much heaped up, so much muck you rake us take through. please don't keep doing this horrible negative thing. it's so unjust & so brutally harsh.

> jsx is a retarded idea because it adds an abstraction over something brutally simple(html).

what programming languages do it better?

one of reacts greatest boons, it's greatest innovations, in my mind, is that it gave up the cargo cult special purpose templating languages that we had for almost two decades assumed we needed. it brought the key sensibility of php to javascript: that there was no need, no gain, by treating html as something special. it should be dealt with in the language, in the code.

if you have other places that have done a good job of being ripe for building html directly, without intermediation, as you seem to be a proponent of, let me/us know. jax seems intimately closer to me to what you purport to ask for than almost any other language that has come before! your words are a vexing contradiction.

> Ok routing library, now make an http request please without involving more dependencies....

please stop being TERRIFIED of code. many routing libraries with dependencies aren tiny. stop panicking that there is code. react router v6 for example is 2.9kb. why so afraid bro?

this is actually why the web is good. because there are many many many problems, but they are decoupled and a 2kB library builds a wonderful magical consistent & complete happy environment that proposes a good way of tackling the issues. you have to bring some architecture in but anyone can invent that architecture, the web platform is in opinionated ("principle of least power" x10,000,000), and the solutions tend towards tiny.

redux is 2kB with dependencies as well.
> How do you end up with a network of the good ones?

> I have wanted to escape the dreaded cycle of dealing with these terrible recruiters

Focus on yourself. When you are in a good place yourself you will find non-terrible recruiters. And when recruiters reach out, have a copy/paste response to say thanks for reaching out. +1 bonus points if you have a friend looking for a job and you can share their LinkedIn profile in your copy/paste response.

And don't run away (escape), run towards something.
Done is better than perfect.

You can search for Redis instances that have disabled authentication and have a "crackit" key stored in them which is created by one of those Redis malware bots:

https://beta.shodan.io/search?query=crackit

I'll add that the vendors have actually gotten much better! Redis and MongoDB both now have good, secure defaults. And I believe both will throw you a huge warning if you're listening on 0.0.0.0 w/out authentication.
$179 for a 12 inch three color display is approaching reasonable. Are eink prices finally going down?
The latter trick is also present in the VT100: in 80 cols mode the font matrix is stretched from 9×10 to 10×10 by replicating the rightmost pixel, which is only set in horizontals of line-drawing characters (with dot-streching closing any remaining gaps).
This was absolutely awesome! Seeing how you took the font from the first ROM images to something that is reasonably close to the original display is pretty cool!

It is oddly comforting to see it written out like this. Probably because this is mostly mirroring my thought process. I also think about the people who didn’t (won’t have? will not?) make it past whatever medical breakthrough allows us to renew our bodies indefinitely. And then those who die on the way to the doctor’s office to have the procedure done. And somehow seeing that written by someone else makes me feel mildly better that I’m not alone thinking about this and maybe someone out there will figure out some of the answers in my lifetime.

And you are right that it’s probably best to enjoy the ride while on it and not worry about what happens when you get off. Just need to realign my brain to not have it remind me every five seconds that falling off the ride sucks. Or that I might get off and the ride will keep going without me and that I might be the one who misses the news and improved ride by like six months or a day or ten years or ten centuries or whatever.

Of the things I’ve read in these comments so far, this and the link to the Harvard researcher working on cell regeneration have been the two things that calmed me down the most. Yeah this one more so, which I found surprising. Thank you.
I find being able to directly evaluate code snippets via attaching to a jupyter kernel (running locally or in cloud) is one of the most important development efficiency booster.
> Also had my old workplace on .dev until those bastards at Google stole it and added the entire tld to the hsts preload list!!

They didn't steal it. You'd hijacked it, and your hijacking failed. Go big or go home. The IETF hijacked the OID arc 1.3.6.1 and they succeeded because everybody accepted their control of that arc and it's now used everywhere, but if you hijack some namespace and then only use it on a few dozen machines nobody has heard of, that's not going to stick.

More seriously, what you've done is probably a bad idea. https://myprinter.lan/ seems unique to you, and then your new partner moves in, why doesn't the printer work? Oh right, his printer is also named myprinter.lan because you don't have globally unique namespaces.

This happens on a bigger scale at a business or other organisations of course, but it's annoying even in one household. Here's a metaphorical nickel kid, get yourself a domain in the public DNS hierarchy.
You get classroom training, shadow hours, supervised hours, and certification on a particular type of interview. From that day forward any open slot on your calendar is fair game for Recruiting to schedule, up to 3 per week. You might get away with a "No" RSVP if you have a good excuse, but not in general. It's part of your job.
> But an unbiased person might be concerned about the big media companies' ability to shut down other viewpoints when the big media companies decide that those viewpoints are wrong. Given that the big media companies are made up of humans, who have all the faults that us other humans do, they can be wrong about which viewpoints are wrong. If they have the freedom to shut down "wrong" viewpoints, that can in some instances be a bad thing.

That doesn't really have anything to do with section 230. Section 230 protects them when they do not remove material. If anything, repealing 230 would make them more likely to shut down viewpoints that they think might be wrong.

Am I the only person who finds the irony in this?

Fascism "exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition."

In that spirit, jingoism and displays of national pride/allegiance such as parades are indeed slightly fascist.

In reality of course, all things exist on a continuum.

I have been in Independence Day parades myself here in the U.S. here in my small town! Was it a little bit fascist? Yes, very slightly, but obviously I judged it to be overwhelmingly on the harmless side of things.

Still, it's instructive to look at parades in Nazi Germany and so forth. Lots of friendly, smiling faces waving flags, not so different from the ones I wave to each July 4th. Societies can go down dark roads much more easily than we'd like to think.

From my knowledge of the horrors of printing and being the 'printer guy' for a Drafting department where we dealt with all kinds of interesting printers...

The scenario I'm theorizing, is that there's probably at least one major vendor who's drivers are dependent on this behavior, and Microsoft is trying to avoid the flack that could result from an update 'breaking usability'. Working around that behavior could be complicated. I feel like if this is the case, I know the vendor.
