This is why we use Vault. Until recently, there was no good option to host it, so you had to manage it.

It's good to have independent competition in this space.
It's people from elswehere actually wishing for Taiwan and China to go to war. They like to fantasize about them going to war until the last Taiwanese and Chinese. Pretty disgusting.
It's entirely location dependent, isn't it? Some places have an abundance.
> 2) Those worst humans would still exist, still try to make money out of the drug business. They would undercut prices

That's why we have all those traffickers and the mafia running super markets and bakeries, they are so good at running business that they can beat any capitalist enterprise.

And if you are simply referring to normal business, that do tax fraud, its the same problem as literally every other business. Are you against all business because people try to avoid taxes?

> are "the worst humans" expected to just stop being the worst humans

No, rather not give them a trade where being the worst nets big profits where there is opportunity for a lot of extra crime because the job is already criminal, so why does it matter.

> Look at cigarettes. It's legal today, but there are still scum exploiting the situation by black market selling probably dangerous tobacco that doesn't go through QA and regulatory checks etc.

What % of the cigarette market is that? Likely less then 0.1%. How many super rich successful black market cigarette millionaires are there?
As a Unity dev I appreciate any new features in the codebase. However I often wish they'd work on some of the bigger issues that eat up your time, such as the time it takes between saving code, switching back to Unity so it compiles; followed by the time it takes to start in Play mode.

For small project both are a non-issue, but when you get to game-sized code with some 3rd party integrations it slows down quite a lot.
And don't forget that in February of last year they were telling people to stop wearing masks.
That's why I prefer JetBrain's version. You pay for the product you get. That's it. Simple and done. You can benefit from updates for a year, and if you pay for another year, you get to keep those benefits. But at the end of the day, you get exactly what you pay for.
That promise was cynical more than anything. In reality, Ukraine had the choice to give up nuclear weapons (which they couldn't deploy) or be invaded, either by Russia or the US. This was a preferable option.

As far as Russia, it's not a question of right or wrong. As part of the dissolution of the USSR, NATO made a tacti assurance TO Russia that they would not push until the border.

The occupation of Ukraine is a response to calls from Ukraine to align with the EU and NATO. Since neither organism allows entry if there is an active territorial dispute, so Russia created one.

From our position, it looks like Ukraine is only trying to defend from Russian imperialism, a much bigger power. From the Russian position, it looks like NATO coordinating a total encirclement of Russia and massing troops directly at its border and cutting off any hope Russia has to be able to assure its trade routes and even territorial security, against an openly interventionist empire.

Ultimately, both perspectives are true. NATO does seek to geopolitically checkmate Russia, which will make life for the average Russian citizen worse and increase the risk of a major war. At the same time Russia is indeed imposing on Ukraine.

Russia could be headed by anyone else under any even remotely functional system of government and it would go to amazing lengths to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO, no matter what. It's a simple matter that there is not really any choice available here.
> The article drips with anger and cynicism, and hints at a few bitter opinions like "...companies I had ideological issues around..."

To be fair, I did literally have ideological issues with them -- such as the amount they track their users, their stance towards China, their use of patents, or just generally bad reputation in the industry -- there's a bunch of issues I feel strongly about and that prevents me from working with a lot of different companies. I guess that's a bit of a luxury, isn't it? But that's also my choice. I'm not exactly homeless these days, so I still manage to find great people to work with.

I am pretty cynical and stubborn... not sure about angry, as you say, "I'm winning at life".

> I just don't want to work with difficult, unhappy people.

Me neither!
The so called "mainstream" news organizations have completely abandoned objectivity, at least when it comes to politics. They are de facto the propaganda wing of the Democratic party. If you comb through the articles being written, most of them are worded in a way that conveys a favorable position for the Democratic party platform and its politicians.

If you're doing matrix multiplication from scratch it sure isn't!

In "Object-Oriented programming an evolutionary approach", Brad J. Cox (the inventor of Objective-C) hoped for the birth of "software-ICs", software components that should have been widely reusable, and documented with the equivalent of the datasheets used for traditional ICs. This was his vision for OOP.
For I2C addresses are hardcoded, with some chips leaving some bits to be set by hardware configuration.

Far more interesting in that regard is the SMBus, that is compatible in most cases with I2C but can handle things like address resolution.

> "[...] we must work hard to undo this history."

Yeah, let's rewrite history. Smart. Reminds me of things like #LandBack and "decolonize" which are nothing more than "gee, it sure sucks these bad things happened" (true) but with a bunch of illegible academic theory slathered on top.

News flash: colonization didn't start with white European oppressors, and it won't end with them either. People of all races, genders, religions, etc have been colonizing others since the beginning of history. Whites are not special here. If you want to end colonization, maybe start by speaking out against capitalism and our banking system, which is the true "colonizer" of the day. But what's funny is that these people are acting in service to the ruling class. They are distracting everyone by speaking out against skin color instead of the real empire. It's the oppressor's wet dream.

Either way, I'm glad people are starting to speak out against this "movement." We can recognize that there are racial and gender groups that are oppressed and work hard to remedy that without actively becoming full-on racist again and without making an entire generation of people afraid to even talk about these issues.

Here's to hoping there's finally a Hashicorp Vault competitor. It's shocking that the only mature option for runtime secret delivery is Vault after all these years.

Some companies have created 'competitors', but they aren't even remotely mature (google secrets manager, aws secret manager, etc)
Hi! Not sure why this was downvoted, since it was both on-topic and indeed simpler (I'm the creator).
I'm understanding that your concern is that we should be protecting ourselves against covid instead of worrying about the rare side effects of the JJ vaccine.

However, keep in mind we are continuing the vaccinate people are a really high rate, we just are not using the JJ vaccine. No one is stopping all of vaccinations. A brief pause in JJ while they relabel is just a minor hiccup in our overall vaccination plans
Fun fact, middle clicks and ctrl+left click will also open links in a new tab!
I've been deep in the k8s on raspberry pi's world recently and ran across someone who was doing this with Bitwarden for their personal setup. I use 1password as my password manager of choice and was immediately trying to find ways to do something similar using the 1password CLI, so this is very convenient timing.
I have no problem with closing to foreigners. Having a 3rd wave shouldn't really matter. In the list of priorities, a quarantine to fully vaccinated people with negative covid test before and after the flight, should be at the bottom of the list. (assuming the vaccine is approved by the Canadian FDA or whatever they follow in Canada). According to the OP, they require 14 days quarantine including 3 days at an expensive hotel? I mean, seriously WTF... If they said 3 days quarantine at home followed by a negative test then I would say OK. But what the OP is describing is madness. No other word for it.

We have never deployed an mRNA vaccine before. We don't know what effect it might have on gametes.
I used to have to carry around an RSA keyfob to be able to deploy code to production! I've had a few of those at different jobs!

I've never had a job that required "Google Authenticator" on my personal phone. I guess I stopped working for other people long before that became the main 2fa method. That might be a step too far.
What is the social cost of wearing masks? Genuinely curious.

The two you mentioned have ingrained business reasons to only work with "their" ecosystem. You need someone from outside to have an incentive to work with all.
I often wonder what it would be like if the iPhone followed Steve Jobs original announcement and stated vision. There was no mention of an app store, at all. Apps were to be, basically, PWA's using html and javascript with api's to hardware. They called it "web 2.0 + ajax" and claimed if you knew how to write apps using the "latest web standards," you could write apps just as good as apples native apps. If you wanted to update your app, you just update your server hosting the app.

Here's the specific portion of the original Jobs iPhone announcement that I'm referring to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvQ9JNm_qWc

Russia is the name of the historical region too, now called Ukraine. Should Ukraine(historical Russia) annex Russian Federation, because it's Russian?
How about this then:

There are 4x the number of people dying from fentanyl than covid in SF.
So, not a defence. There was no confrontation in East Germany.

NATO in practice is an offensive alliance as much as a defensive one.
Early stage, should we support all browsers or direct users to Chrome?
We have less than 100 daily active users.
One of our users complained about a bug that showed up on Safari.

My intuition is to just direct all my users to use Chrome – I guess if their problem is burning enough this shouldn't be a problem for, but I wanted to hear other founders thoughts re: new users just discovering our site for the first time, which seems to be happening more frequently.

It fully doesn't work properly on Firefox and does weird things on Safari.

Works properly in Chrome.
The Neo2 and Bone layouts [1] are very interesting for programmers that have organized special characters as you described. There, Caps Lock and the # key are used for switching layers. Another layer includes arrow keys and number keys and almost eliminate the need to ever take your hands off the home row.

The best part is that most Linux distros already include it! Yes, it's intended to type German, but it should work for English as well since these languages are so similar. Also, it has many dead keys that should help composing accented characters.

Ask HN: Sandbox dev environment on your GNU/Linux box
I'm a developer. There are many horror stories about malware injected via npm/pip. I'd like to isolate my dev environment so it doesn't have access to my private keys and other secrets or, in more general terms, create compartments for different processes and activities.

Ideally proprietary, unsafe software like zoom would run isolated and have access only to the webcam and mic. Same goes for the browser (some extensions are nasty).

I'd like to have different compartments for different activities. I heard about Qubes OS and NixOS, but I don't know much about them.

Do you think this is a problem? If so, how did you solve it?
I agree, the guy should of noticed a pattern after the first few, and being unemployed and thus didn't have a job taking up his time actually systematically go through cracking the coding interview or other similar resources full time for a few months. Then he'd be basically be set for life.

Lots of missed income there.
You've hinted at a framework for making a decision but left out an important component.

A credible decision would give your estimates of harm/benefit for delaying vaccinating people. You seem all too willing to ignore the people who will become sick or die because of delaying the vaccine. You are only looking at potential harm from not delaying the vaccine. Unfortunately, you have a lot of company.
Go back in time and most of the US was firmly against something that we today consider morally righteous.

e.g. LGBTQ rights, gender equality, abolition, that whites are not inherently superior to blacks, etc.
But then checking where the janitor is, is like checking whether a programmer is typing.

It really depends on what those languages mean to you. I don't think that you can answer these sorts of questions in the general case.

You can sorta kinda compare programs though. I had a discussion about this on HN last year. Note that this is an extremely small sample size, but you know https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22712441

I wrote an updated version half a year ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24595081

YMMV. It depends on a lot of factors.
I mean, I think a bunch of people (myself included) realized this a long time ago.

If your real question is "at what point do we fix this?", it's unfortunately a bit of a catch-22: realistically we need to get rid of things like lobbying, two-party system, gerrymandering, etc. in order to get good reform going. Unfortunately fixing those things might be difficult before we reform social.

Like ranked choice voting or something might be a good idea, but why would our existing selfish legislators vote for something that will effectively reduce their power by tbrowing non-left/right partisans into the mix.
You're not double protected, it's the same antibodies. Recovered from Covid antibodies = vaccine antibodies. But that's just how I understand it, I'm not an expert.

I don't really understand why people who just recovered from Covid (~1 month) still need the vaccine. Not that I mind it, I just can't get it.
This article [0] mentions 50% more blood clots observed during vaccine trials, which at the time was characterized as a slight numerical imbalance (15 blood clots versus 10 in the placebo group, in a trial of 20k people)

The single party states always get some amount of of stupid indoctrination. You saw the same crap in the red states when the evangelical Christians had a lot of influence and tried to write evolution out of the curriculum. Now it's the blue states turn to give their kids a bad education.

Look at the feedback loops and who's accountable to who and who wants what in the US public education systems and it's clear why these things happen in the single party states. Basically people are trying to please people who they aren't specifically tasked with pleasing but have to as a practical matter. Local officials and administrators implement crap in order to please the loud vocal minority of the local overwhelming majority and the state officials aren't gonna stick their neck out to stop them. Ultimately nobody is accountable for teaching kids anything that can't easily be measured on a test and there's lots of incentives not to teach them to think critically.
Oh man, that's awful! But your blood is probably half antibodies now. Fire up the BBQ!
So all we have learned about you is that you like doing the opposite of whatever they say.
Every startup that raised money can choose from dozens of candidates. I'm not really buying the "Software developer shortage" theory. If there was a real shortage we all wouldn't be jumping hoops learning bachelor degree material or doing home assignments for some startup interview when we have 15 years experience. But this isn't what shortage looks like, to me this feels saturated.

I think this is objectively wrong even on a human level. I could see some part of it if you're using empathy in a general enough sense to only mean modeling other minds without caring about their goals except as a way to pursue your own (which doesn't sound like what you're saying). It sounds more like you're putting intelligence in some reference class where you're just stating it's not intelligence until it's already aligned with humans (which is not helpful).

For some reason people tend to think that general intelligence would generate all these other positive human-like qualities, but a lot of those are not super well aligned even in humans and they are tied to our multi-billion year evolutionary history selecting for certain things.

This is basically the orthogonality thesis which I found pretty compelling: https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/orthogonality-thesis - the AGI crowd has a lot of really good writing on this stuff and they've thought a lot about it.

On the other hand, there is definitely a situation in Australia with regard to the perceived infallibility of its Imperial forces.

Australia is participating in the criminal wars of the US with degrees of impunity (i.e. accountability to the citizens of Australia) envied by most of the other participants.

> (putting aside, yes, the invasion of Aboriginal Australia)

This is all-too easily leaned on by Australians as a means of avoiding the uncomfortable truths of Australia's real history with imperial slaughter and social engineering. Current-day Australians are in serious danger of believing their righteous forces can do no wrong "except for all that genocide we've been doing as a nation since the beginning" ..

Patrick McGee from Financial Times had a whole twitter thread [1] on it. It got everything from banning apps for competitive reason to Apple's FEAR ( Fraud Engineering Algorithms and Risk ) team saying the current App Store review process is inadequate.

I am starting to think there is a much deeper problem with Apple, it is that without Steve Jobs, no one is being the yard stick of quality, especially in UX.

A decade of App Store, you are wondering if they have actually put any effort in its Apps Search Engine. It took them 3 years to admit they have problem with Keyboard and offering an update after 5 years. For things that are easily quantify, like Sales, Hardware Performance ( Apple Silicon ), Logistics and Operation. They are absolutely excelling under Tim Cook. For everything else it seems they are loose, at least from an Apple Standard point of view, although that is still far higher than their competitors.

To quote Steve, it seems people are too focused on the process, and forgot about the content.

Apologies for being nitpicky about the already fixed back button While viewing a specific drilled-down result, each time the back button is pressed, it seems to navigate to the previous character in the incremental search.
