I suspect that even if you go back to an office, you'll generally still spend hours of your days on video calls in most places because others won't be in the office. And, TBH, I already was because I work with people all over the world.
Very great point and I did the same too! For me, I keep them turned off as they're not used daily,e.g., Spotify.
Try explaining that to the FAA. They've been shutting down more VORs and airways every year.
Are you talking about getting downvoted? Or how are people using things against one other on HN?
They are dead wrong, life in rural area is all about having good relationship with your neighbors because people help each other there.

Maybe that's the case where you live. I've seen other places where everybody was at war with everybody else. Did you just say "idealized view of the countryside"?

Not so extreme, but I grew up bordering the country and it was very annoying sometimes. Dogs barking all night long, very difficult to filter that. Lots of flies, wasps and other bugs. And then little village big hell. Give me big city any time.
That would ruin their plausible deniability.
The FAA has been removing navigational aids for a while now. If GPS were to go down long term, there could be economic impacts. This is a national security issue.

There are enough over the air transmitters already broadcasting that could be formed into a navigation network, as part of their license, the carrying of position and timing signals could be added as a requirement.

The government should provide the equipment, maintenance, and training to do this.

> Elitism, again.

This is not elitism - this is a statement of fact. You should know the definitions of words before you use them:

"The belief that certain persons or members of certain groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their superiority, as in intelligence, social standing, or wealth." and "Behavior arising from or indicative of such a belief."

...neither of which describes the statement that I made.

(in case it's not clear - even if my statement were false, it would still not be elitism)

> Backed by nothing.

It's pretty clear that HN users are way more tech-savvy than the average user - don't try to deny it. If you absolutely insist on evidence - take five random posts from the front page of HN, show the original content to a random sampling of people you meet at the library or at a coffeeshop (your family members and friends could be biased technically), ask them to make comments, and then compare to the HN comments on the post.

Only the very tiniest fraction of users are going to write anything like [1][2][3] - those are developers, and their knowledge, skills, and behaviors are dramatically different than the average user.

Why are truckers causing GPS jamming?
Does JS really churn more than other environments? I first saw React in production at work in 2015. That’s almost six years ago. Before React, sure, there was a lot of churn, but there has been a huge time period in which no one got fired for choosing React plus Webpack.

At that same job, our app team was switching to Swift for its new code, which no doubt has had considerable churn since then, since it was before ABI stability or SwiftUI or whatever (I’m not a Swift dev so just guessing from the outside on the specifics).
It looks to me like he's describing a trend he disagrees with. Nobody would describe their own vision as "tyrannical".
I wish there was somethng similar for Safari. Love to sync bookmarks between my personal and work laptop without needing to use iCloud as I can't use my personal one on my work laptop.
In many cases yes. I do have hourly employees that are paid for specific support time slots. Part of their job is to be available and responsive during certain hours.

And that’s my point. It’s not getting done on time.

Projects that are well planned and have long histories of identical executions are taking longer and simply being dropped if I’m not probing.
Transitioning from private to public sector: Lessons learned
After 4 years, we are hearing about debt again.
I was highly disappointed to read this:

"Whatever you do, please don’t buy a VacuVin or anything resembling such a device that allows you to “pump out the air from the bottle.” These devices just don’t work as advertised. Sure, they remove some air, but not enough to truly protect the wine."

So I guess we'll just finish the bottle!
I’m a party of one, but I definitely won’t be renewing my lease in November. The floor above and below are already empty with no sign of interest. This is in a typical, formerly pricy “brick and timber” loft office area of a tech heavy city.
Maybe, but try to get into the mind of someone who installs a minimalist OS. They might think that Linux is too heavy and an RTOS is too constrained, right?

That kind of perspective probably wants to be fairly close to the metal, and virtualization is a sizable abstraction layer.
I'm talking about the intent behind cutting off communication was the same in both instances. The intent is to eliminate the ability for people to organize. You do that literally removing every post that includes a mention of election fraud. Notice how no articles in the U.S. mentioned the reason behind the U.S. capitol? They specifically wanted to hide the message of the 'protest' or 'riot.' Russia is using an axe to perform surgery since they don't have association or control of most of the U.S. companies which also are accessed in Russia. But the U.S. was able to use a scalpel and focus just on the part they wanted to cut.
Lol, Web Components aren’t a standard. They’re a series of unrelated technologies and a good PR campaign.

This is awesome news. We need platforms to be language agnostic. The best way to do this it to make it possible to query the entire API so that you can automate the warping of other languages.

Apples Coca APIs can be queried, and at one point i considered writing a C API generator. My guess it would take a week or two, but at the time I was busy and spending 2 weeks in XCode, wasn't really my idea of good time. Some one should do it.
The claim that X is allowed on the Chrome Web Store is extremely fishy given the "single purpose policy". You're not allowed to upload extensions that serve multiple purposes, e.g. "something useful the user wants" and "provide an exit point for a shady proxy network".
Logging software uses GPS. If they jam it they can go off route or otherwise not have big brother watching them. I imagine it's becoming somewhat less prevalent though, as it's widely known they do it, enforcement has ratcheted up, and it's obvious when trucks just drop off the face of the earth all the time. It's not like 15 years ago when cell networks were much more sparse.
Totally agree — I was trying to frame my comment in the terms of the GP. For better or worse, managers are often forced to think in terms of time rather than output, and I wanted to respond on that level.

For jobs where time spent correlates with output, time is a good way to think about it (and should be paid hourly), but obviously this isn't 99% of white collar jobs.

We were getting brand new pos terminals direct from the supplier with conficker installed ten years after conficker was news. When we pushed for a fix, machines started arriving with instructions to run a conficker removal tool before using them.
Hey, you took my advice! You specified that the matter had urgency! Good job!
At a guess, I'd say the way they drive is tightly controlled by hiring companies via GPS logs (eg too many / not enough breaks, no driving over / under speed).
Interesting, thanks for the correction.
I think people should share more about the 'censorship' with google's search results. (censorhip in air quotes to be light-hearted, not get off my free speech hatred), So many people have become accustomed to 'google it' to find truth.. but there are many pages on the internet that won't show in google results.

Sure I agree that with most of those (being ranked out for bad things), the world may be a better place without - but people should know that there are thousands of results on the web that they are not seeing for many searches.

I think for much of the world it is assumed that what is not on fbk or ggle does not exist - and people should be educated more about this.

search 'sex chat' and when you get to the end you click for omitted, and get 360 results. I don't think people typing that term are looking for google books the official chfi study guide - so they are clearly keeping many actual sex chat sites out of the results - and people should know that - and should probably be told why.

That's without getting into the issues of why two sites take up four positions in the top 10 - and why most of the top 20 are there because they can afford to slip a few thousand dollars to writers to place a story about some (usually made-up / fake) BS in a high PR site.

That too should be brought to the surfer's attention - these things are influences not by what the average surfer is looking for - other ranking factors are at play, and these factors push down some results that aren't as high brow as others, which may help sell ads.. not that that is what's driving that.

Disclaimer - I have a few sites that I want to rank in the top 10 so with a dog in the race, ymmv yada yada.. of course I've also been keeping track of those results for many years, although much less the past few I've just given up trying to get the attention of big G.
The philosophy behind Kotlin and Java really couldn't be more different. Go is much closer to a modern Java than Kotlin.

Kotlin does have some nice additions. But it is very much a kitchen sink language. I wish I could take some of those nicer additions and leave the sink.
Technically, very easy.

But (IIRC) those other systems are not "officially recognized" by either the FCC (frequency protection) or the FAA. So an airplane operator cannot use them for navigational purposes without opening themselves up to litigation because they're not following FAA directives.

FCC recognition of Galileo is limited in scope:

> If I have to communicate to every bad actor how I identified them as a bad actor, that only helps them sidestep my prevention mechanisms.

It really depends on the level of detail you give, and how timely you are.

"You were banned for bot-like activity" and no further clarification at least lets the user know this was definitely in error, and gives actual spammers very little information.

"You were banned for bot-like activity due to low activity and engagement" gives spammers a bit more information, but only the really incompetent ones haven't figured that out by now - you might not want to advertise it for the first month or two, but real users might not realize they need to be fairly active after making an account (I'm from the older generation where we'd lurk for a while to observe social norms before commenting)

"Your account was banned for posting nudes / racism / etc." actively increases the effectiveness of those policies since now people will be more worried about edge cases and less willing to get near the topic.

Since you're using automated tools to catch people, you can also automatically communicate this. If you're really paranoid about bad actors, you could even hold on to that information and only include it in an automated email when someone contacts support (and then only replies to that first automated response actually go to your REAL support process)
That's because it wasn't really a parody, it was a comedic love letter to Star Trek fandom.
Perhaps there is a new profile.
I think decentralized solar/wind/battery is a much better idea. I’d potentially support nuclear off shore in the ocean. Nuclear just doesn’t scale safely.
I think you're right, but I get the feeling that companies will still come out ahead in the end — and employees will be stuck with some amount of loss.
RPi is a ton of computing power that you can shove almost wherever you want for low cost. Even the Pi Zero ($5) has 512MB RAM and an ARM11 running at 1GHz. It has HDMI & USB.

I’d say that your criticism could be seen as “why use a microcontroller when you could just use a PLA?” Well, there are a lot of reasons why you might choose a PLA, but microcontrollers are cheap these days and easier to program. And the Raspberry Pi is also cheap and easier to program than microcontrollers.

The Pi is easier to program than a microcontroller, more powerful, and still quite cheap. Cheap enough that it’s sometimes being kept in “production” designs.

The FAA has issued a recommendation that pilots who are experiencing a safety problem that they believe to be related to military electronic warfare exercises should use the term "Stop Buzzer." This term, borrowed from military range safety practices, is intended to make it clear among controllers that they should use a procedure specified with the NOTAM to request immediate termination of the exercise or testing. I am not especially clear on the criteria for use of this procedure, I'm not sure if a controller would comply without a declared emergency. I'm also not sure how quick the response will be in all cases - White Sands controllers are in close contact with Albuquerque Center but you'll probably see a slower response if you're talking to someone else or 121.5.

This recommendation came out because there are multiple cases where pilots have declared emergencies related to GPS jamming but controllers have not requested termination of the jamming because of miscommunication or not realizing that the emergency was related.

This is all pretty new and it has not really been communicated very well, I only know about it because of something I saw in _AOPA Pilot_. It has been reported that some aircraft, I forget which but I believe a light jet, react particularly badly to loss of GPS and it can get as bad as loss of attitude information, potentially as a result of a bug.
Actually he did invent Object Oriented programming.

Simula was an inspiration, but was never considered as object oriented. After Kay came up with the concept, Simula was identified as part of the historical background.

“I invented the term object oriented, and I can tell you that C++ wasn't what I had in mind.” —Alan Kay.
I see this cited a lot, but honestly I would say the majority of jobs use Spring, and it has been that way for quite a while.

Amazon said that at its Bessemer facility, 2.88% of Amazon’s 7,575 employees and third-party workers at the facility — or 218 people — tested positive during the 14-day period ending on January 7. Amazon rejected the idea that this would be considered an outbreak.
These folks weren't smart enough to leave their tracking devices at home and a ton of them filmed their crimes. Everyone has a right to remain silent, but it's not going to help in most of these cases where the evidence is so abundant.
If only there were commercial products that did quantum random number generation. If only those products were readily available. If only those products were readily available for many years.

How on earth would that possibly be prohibited by their policies? Google's users using Google's service for personal use consistent with Google's terms is prohibited by their policies?

I hadn’t yet considered it just because the metadata solves my use case of uniform rest across all sets. For varying rest periods, I can see how metadata would be suboptimal. I’ll do some noodling on this and see if there is an elegant way to make this first class. Thanks for the feedback!

Showcasing Clojure's Java interop with the java.time library is IMO pretty disingenuous. That's a pretty good modern library with a great API conformed completely of immutable classes, most Java libs are not like that.
You made a ton of implicit assumptions with your widget factory at home, it's not really like you caught me on anything here. I just brought in a bit of realism into your model.

I'm surprised GCC doesn't have an official LTS window. I love that about nodejs - their official releases guide[1] is very clear about how long each release is supported for. Any important bugs found during the LTS window are fixed. Bugs found after the LTS period? Too late. If you run into those issues, its on you to upgrade nodejs.

As a library author, the chart tells me nodejs v10 will stop being maintained at the end of April. At that point, I'll remove node 10 from my CI testing matricies. And I can remove any node 10 polyfills and workarounds, and start using features in my libraries that were only added in node 12. Clear and simple. If anyone complains about nodejs 10 problems, I can send them to the nodejs releases guide and firmly suggest upgrading their software.

In comparison, it sounds like gcc and the linux kernel devs are mutually confused about whether 4.9 is supported software. Gcc devs apparently don't want to backport patches (and haven't for years). And yet kernel developers are acting as if gcc 4.9 is still expected to produce correct code. Which is it?

I've also worked with JDBC libraries to wrap driver-specific features. JDBC drivers have been around for a long time, and driver-specific stuff can vary in how well it's designed. I've also used jna through Java from Clojure when I was just starting out, which wasn't all that hard for a newbie to the language.

From your comments in other Clojure-related threads we've participated in, it sounds like your experience is much different from mine, but often lacks in specific examples. Without seeing those, it's hard to know what you're describing. If you think Clojure isn't the bees knees, that's perfectly fine. I think readers would benefit from knowing specifics of what you've found frustrating.

As a practical matter, jamming of one GNSS would most likely affect the others as well. Particularly since multi-GNSS receivers usually only support the GNSS that share bands (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS)

Perhaps the most compelling option for multi-system redundancy has been the reintroduction of a complete terrestrial navigation system. There have been perennial proposals to fund the construction of an "enhanced LORAN" system to cover the United States that have gotten as far as early design, basically ever since the decommissioning of LORAN-C, but it's never quite happened. Somewhat contrary to what a lot of people might expect, the technology does exist to build a completely earth-based radiolocation system with substantial (but not complete) land coverage, it's just a pretty expensive infrastructure project and has a hard time getting any traction at a time when the FAA is slashing the budget for existing navaid technology.

The infrastructure that was already "half way there," e.g. FAA VOR/DME amd the Coast Guard DGPS infrastructure built on the back of the cancelled GWEN project, is largely all decommissioned or in a slow process of decommissioning.

ASAT warfare has lead to some renewed interest, but not enough to actually get the money on the table.
