This stuff is not really well made for normal people, to be honest. Just look at all the discussions and troubles (tickets, misunderstandings, security risks) related to email and hyperlink parsers..

It took me a while to know that FQDNs can (and sometimest must?) start at root with a period, meaning every address you've ever typed could have finished with a period (news.ycombinator.com.) and I recall some newspaper (NYT? News Yorker?) failing to test for that when people want to bypass their paywall.
And this is a valid email address apparently: #!$%&’*+-/=?^_`{}|~@example.com

RFCs/codified norms by tech people are just weird to normal people.
You actually bring up a good point. I thought that they'll just show this message to everyone, but maybe you're right and they analyze the usage somehow to only notify people who are abusing it.

Else, how do you handle people going on business trips and vacations?

Ask HN: How do I deal with “maintanance” phase in my job? I have nothing to do
Hello, my job as Java programmer is tolerable if i have clear cut tasks to do for example: "You have 2 days to implement this feature thats solving this problem".

But many times there is no tasks at all. I need to raport hours spend in my job (at least 80% per month, otherwise i wont get paid), but i have no idea what to do when there is no new features to make. Most of relevant codebase (i meant services code) already has unittests. There is also case make for refactoring but i hate refactoring - i am always afraid of breaking something, and i have no ideas, where refactor is applicable and where its waste of time.

I dont know what to do at my job, and i dont enjoy it. Can i have some advices?
Not really on topic but I've never understood why a country like the US, with the underlying ideology being what it is, wouldn't allow anyone in the world to live in the US as long as they don't use any social services.

For example, if someone has enough money for one year of rent and health insurance, and is not deemed a security risk, why not instantly admit them? If they get a job and pay tax, you let them stay as long as they pay tax. If they keep this up for X amount of years, offer them a citizenship.
Re>> aghast that I would suggest putting Onion and Garlic in the same meal. It was strictly either/or for him.

American here. This is quite surprising to me - that wouldn't have occurred to me. Pan searing garlic and onion (before adding additional ingredients) is the "omg, what are you cooking?!, it smells _great_!!" starter kit in my home - when it's literally just those two things.
Can you explain how the total cost of ownership is economic, when you include the cost of managing nuclear wastes for thousands of years? There is such a woeful global record of adequate safety measures not being included in any total cost budgeting for nuclear power. Real safety seems to always be an off-budget item. Not to mention the weapons proliferation risk. No thanks.

Heh. Check out France on this map: https://www.electricitymap.org/map

Imagine if every developed economy invested in nuclear at the same level of France even if you still need to rely on fossil fuel peaker plants - that's a good start no? France, even with fossil-fuel backup has far lower emissions than most other countries (3x lower emissions than the darling of renewable energy, Germany ... which by the way relies on France's nuclear power too)

Here's something to get depressed at: Imagine if every developed economy invested in nuclear at the same level as France but in the 70s. Think of the trillions and trillions of tons of CO2 that would not have been emitted into the atmosphere. It would have bought us decades to get global warming under control.

When history passes judgment, it won't be the climate-denialists that will take the brunt of criticism, but anti-nuke environmentalists who fucked things up (and continue to do so) for our species.
We will be hobbled with these decisions for a long time precisely because the complete package of trade offs the designers made were so successful.

If they had gone for wart-free on properly powered hardware, they would be stuck back in Multics land or living with the gnu Hurd—cancelled for being over budget or moving so slowly that projects that actually accomplish what the users need overtake them.

Do I wish that C had fixed its operator precedence problem? Sure. But the trade offs as a total package make a lot of sense.

> This is actually helpful as otherwise some person comes along and buys the domain and makes some crappy website on that domain and it is their pet project so they don't want to sell (or even worse they have no contact info available and the whois is protected).

That's BS. It's like saying that scalpers help bands, because only the most committed fans will pay the prices they charge. So their concerts will be more lively, and they will have more sells at the merch booths.

Btw, a mom and pop business will probably happily sell the domain at the price the scalper charges. So it's not that they're making anyone any favors.
Yeah. It allows the programmer to code using a similar mental model to coding with the canvas tag, where one would probably just draw the entire frame from scratch every frame.

Granted, with the speed of modern browsers and the relative simplicity of this rendering, one could probably literally wipe the DOM layer and rewrite it every frame without having any performance issues. But if the rendering became more complicated it’s conceivable that React’s virtual DOM stuff could noticeably improvement performance.
It works. But what is it for? How do other people interact with it and the images?

1. Look it up in "the literature" the way you would have done it before Google.

2. You can often look up a professor who has written on a subject in their campus directory and cold call them with a quick question. This sort of "expert" is accustomed to getting random calls from other professors, the media, etc. and really has less cognitive load just answering (what for them) is an easy question than in determining who exactly you are and if you deserve it.
If the page is "special", then it simply gets a special stylesheet. I don't understand how people get so much wrong about CSS when it's really such a simple tool. My best guess is that many developers are so deeply lost in the pit of OOP that they want to apply this thinking to HTML, which just doesn't work.

Driving costs down is only good if quality isn't compromised too much. In Japan they can compromise quality to the point where they don't expect things to last more than 20 year. In most of the rest of the world people expect a house to last several lifetimes.

What is acceptable is an important question. I've been in houses from 100 years ago, most had significant remodels that clearly did things not anticipated originally and so it is obvious to a knowing eye where the different parts are. On the other hand, construction is expensive and the throw away culture seems wrong too. I'll let you decide where the trade off should be made.
The other day I setup a postfix server in my VPS, which I intend to use with mailman3 to have some mailing lists.

It was a bit of a pain to set up, but nothing too difficult. The worst part was setting up DKIM and SPF.

The thing is, I constantly hear people saying that managing an email server is something extremely difficult and that requires constant attention.

Am I doing something foolish by attempting to do this by myself? Should I just pay for a big email provider? (They’re quite expensive for the resources my organization has)

I’ve tried to set everything up as securely as possible, but I’m not an expert in email either. I’m just afraid I might be creating big trouble for myself in the future.
So, you architect for multicloud once, and then in the event of a cloud provider failure (a high impact but fairly low risk event if you haven't mitigated the impact with a multicloud architecture) you just shift resources to the surviving providers and maybe throw something on the backlog to incorporate a new provider in your multicloud setup, but even if that takes some rearchitecting, the median interval isn't going to be every two years, or, most likely, even every 10.

Most enterprises won't do this, either, but it's not because of recurring rearchitecting costs.

>Netflix would not remotely resemble its current form and likely would have been acquired years ago if they did not pivot to their own content.

You can't acquire a private company unless they're willing to sell.

>Switching to their own content required and still requires huge amounts of money; est. 17bn last year[0].

I don't follow your point? Private companies can take a loan just as easily as public. If they were unable to attain the financing they wanted, they'd still have plenty of their own content, just not as much.

>Additionally, the gross profit number is a flawed number for many reasons; try looking at operating or net income or anything farther down the income statement from basic revenue. Netflix has no option but to finance content spend with debt as they do not generate enough FCF to cover content spend and will quickly fall behind competitors if they don't.

I'd suggest you do the same. Their cash balance increased from $5 billion to $8 billion last year. They took out "debt" to finance their movies because money is cheap right now. Nothing they've done required them being a public company, and nothing you've shown makes me believe they couldn't be in exactly the same position they currently are as a private company. They didn't even start borrowing money of significance until 2012, I still don't believe for a second they'd be "bankrupt" as a a private company.

I'm someone who has written a lot on Medium in the past and has grown a following in a niche because of that, so maybe I can explain the issue.

Originally, writing on Medium had nothing to do with making money from the writing. In the early days, just the fact that you were writing on Medium instead of your own blog gave you much better SEO and made you much more discoverable. It was much easier to reach a new audience vs. your own blog on your own new domain that will take 6 months for Google to rank in any search results. It was just a much more efficient way to actually have people read what you wrote.

The point where Medium became total trash is when they created an "optional" paywall, but they also made the paywall enabled by default and they give the author a bunch of scary warnings if they attempt disable it. Basically, they blackhole your content if you don't opt in and they won't ever recommend or promote it. So most people who don't care about making money still leave it on.

I still disable the paywall, but I imagine 90% of the content people hit that is paywalled is not because the author thinks they are going to make money. It's because Medium forced them down that path with dark ui patterns. It didn't used to be like that.

>> commands the other way do have some kind of encryption.

I'm betting that they don't. The reason that this stuff isn't encrypted is likely the same reason that fighter jets and airliners don't have keys. Yes, someone could jump in and do something bad, but the greater danger is the encryption/lock system causing an accident by getting in the way of legitimate commands. This is the launch vehicle, not the spy satellite.

It is likely that physical realities offer sufficient protection. The rocket might be designed to ignore commands coming from the wrong direction and/or signal strength. It might be that to send a command you would have to be physically co-located with the legitimate antenna array, or be ridiculously more powerful, something that would be very easy to detect.
> Exactly like how cold food just doesn't taste as good as warm food (if it's meant to be warm), even though it's the exact same food.

sometimes the temperature really does change the food though. for example, a cheese sauce is a delicate emulsion of fat and proteins that is only stable in a certain temperature range. outside that range, the fat separates and you no longer have a sauce. of course if you reheat it, you can get back to the same consistency. on the other hand, coffee chemically changes as it cools. even if you could ignore the temperature, the cold cup wouldn't be the same as the warm cup. and if you reheat it, it changes even more.

> A bunch of people using quality, high value domains for low value or mom and pop businesses is suboptimal too.

Your proposition requires a significant amount of "pet project" and "mom and pop" businesses getting the domain first, and also that they refuse to sell out. This has to be so much of a problem that we're willing to regularly pay squatters for the "cure".

This seems unlikely to me, and I would say the reality is closer to the squatters looking for a ransom on a domain they're holding hostage, and without them there would simply be many more domains still available from the registrars. Specifically that the hypothetical cases where a domain wouldn't be able to be negotiated at all are outweighed by the overall value currently lost to squatters.

I thought it was pretty straight forward, nothing groundbreaking for anyone who already had a good understanding of this "stack", which I don't see as a stack, more of a organization/management framework that has been used for many years, and lectured in many degrees.

The thing is that a lot of people always thought much of this business "fluff" was there just to justify some obsolete positions and tasks, like: vision and mission statements... that's not for the cool cats - those are wandering and then make a blog post like they made some amazing finding and try to give it a catchy name, but when you squeeze it you find out it's just something some dude in the 60's already defined/coined that thing, that you learned about 10 years ago.

And then they try to mash everything into product strategy...which is also the business strategy...which is not even a strategy when you peal it off.

So the article serves it's purpose, for people who never learned any of this, or for those who took it for granted/overvalued, or those who simply got it wrong from the start. No shame in any of this.

Webiny is definitely not for everyone; it does have specific technologies engraved in the offering, like nodejs, React and GraphQL. That, however, doesn't mean you can't build a REST API with it. Webiny is first of all a development framework, to help you develop apps for serverless infrastructure. It's very flexible, and we're already working on more things that will make it even more adaptable to different technologies. Then on top of that we built the Headless CMS, the Page Builder, etc. to showcase the possibilities of both the framework and serverless services, as many developers are still hesitating to use them.

The features we built into our apps and framework are directly taken from our own experience (we used to run a digital agency for 10 years), user feedback and many hours of calls with other agencies and enterprises. We do love user feedback as we can't possibly foresee all the possible use-cases - and that's how we improve our platform.

If you don't use GraphQL or DynamoDB - that's perfectly fine. There will always be problems that are easier to solve without bringing a full featured framework into the mix. We also like to spawn a Lambda or two with some simple code for simple solutions. But for larger projects, we offer project organization, workflows, infrastructure organization, system of plugins, and ready-made apps which can really save you a lot of development time.

Regarding other CMS's - yes there are many. But not many that are open-source and running in a serverless environment. SaaS solutions are not acceptable for every type of customer, especially not enterprises. They want to have their data in their own private cloud.

Worth adding, at least in some countries, the laws allow physical squatters to legally take over ownership of land or property, if they can document they lived there / put it to productive use over many years (IIRC 20, in Poland), while the original owner didn't use it in any way.

I used to do a presentation called "Shattering Secrets with Social Media" where we'd do a "live attack" on a volunteer from the audience.

Starting with their name from their badge, we'd see how many of the top 10 security questions we could answer. For most people we could get 4-6 in a matter of minutes. For a select few we could only get 1-2.

Despite it all, there were two we could almost never get: street you grew up on and first pet's name. My theory was that those are tied to a time and place that predates social media for many millenials and all gen-x.

But there was another approach.. one of those silly threads from years ago was "What is your porn star name?" which required your first pet's name and the street you grew up on. Yes, that was a social engineering attack at scale.

And even if you didn't answer it, if you had a sibling roughly the same age, odds are theirs were the same.

A scoped IPv6 address contains a network interface name, which is used to disambiguate which network a link-local address belongs to.

It’s relatively common to encounter them in some network configurations where the routers use link-local addresses rather than global addresses in their RA packets. They are also used in SLAAC, because a device can configure a link-local address without knowing anything about its environment.

[ I think in the past there might have been an idea to use them to disambiguate site-local IPv6 addresses, but network interfaces are not sufficient in that case, and site-local addresses were problematic in lots of other ways, so they have been dropped from the specifications. ]
This is an area of sec research I'm very interested in: classic attacks with a major IRL impact.

It's similar to social engineering but that's not a correct comparison. More like an attack that hops the cyber<>physical barrier but uses standard TTPs from pure-cyber.

There are proof of concepts like this out there, to start. It's like you DDoS'd someones real life - that's intense.
Your system requires:

* Air filtration

* An air liquidation mechanism (cooling system + pressurization system)

* A heat engine

* Liquified air storage system

* A turbine

This is why exotic storage systems don't really pan out. Unless you already have 80% of the infrastructure already lying around (like in pumped hydro storage), you're better off buying batteries than buying the myriad of systems needed for some exotic energy storage system.
