I am constantly amazed that software engineering is as difficult as it is in ways like this. Half the time I just figure I'm an idiot because no one else is struggling with the same things but I probably just don't notice when they are.
This is my favorite feature of HN. Many, many years ago there was an article posted about how the colors teal and orange go so well together. So I set my topcolor to #00cdcd, and love it.
I'm sympathetic to the motivation, but the author is a bit naive in some of the specific requirements --- we absolutely must spin things up locally to retain our autonomy. Sure, allow testing in the cloud too, but don't make that the only option.

The cloud should be a tiny margin business, that it isn't shows just how untrustworthy it is. The win-win efficiency isn't there because there's so much rentier overhead.

Oh, and use Nix :).
> He just wants the work to be meaningful.

well, he just slid down to "more unreasonable" with that clarification :) I can understand a "great coder doesn't want to write documentation" broadcast message, but if you want meaningful work to your standards, it's really on you to find the companies doing it and apply to them.

I would extend the common good advice to employees to this applicant: Offer to your manager solutions to problems, rather than just complaining about problems; managers have enough headaches, what they ache for are helpful employees; this also applies to hiring managers, so find a hiring manager who will want you, don't make him find you.
I never really understood why he lost so badly to Reagan.

>This is the same logic again. Focusing on what happens after someone gets in to such a bad state they need to take insulin. Why are they becoming so fat and eating such bad things that they need insulin at all? I'm so tired of the band-aid fixes. Healthcare doesn't fix shitty lifestyle choices.

People can have diabetes without being fat and unhealthy. And did you just say Healthcare doesnt matter, its the people making shitty choices that gives them crippling medical bills?

Your ignorance of the issues and privilege are showing something fierce.

Policing needs to be fixed. Healthcare needs to be fixed. Because something works for you doesn't mean it works for the general public.
Sort of.

You really don't want to rely on a breach being just the password hashes and nothing else. In the case where the adversary was able to do literally nothing other than exfil the hashes, a stronger password will help you. But is this actually a common threat model?

And if you have SMS-2FA enabled, an adversary with your password needs to sim-swap you anyway, which is doable but scales very badly.

Easier just to phish people.
I think it is largely a design issue. HaikuOS has vector icons everywhere that are as crisp as their pixel-based counterparts (in fact many of them are recreations).

HaikuOS' icon format was designed specifically for vector icons and has support for "LODs" to hide/show elements based on the zoom level but i think (though not 100% sure) that other vector formats can do that too.

I don't consider myself an introvert. I very much was an introvert most of my teenaged and early 20's years. Now I don't consider myself either because I think it's stupid. Some weeks I really need to just stay in cause I have stuff I want or need to do. Other days I'm excited to go out.

I call it snake oil because it sells this idea that introverts are just misunderstood and not listened to enough because of their introspective nature. Well, if they want anyone to listen to them, they have to learn how to convey a message meaningful enough and with cultural/social tact that can only be earned through experiences with other people. Being an introvert will not garner you that.

It's not just "introverts need to leave their damn room" it's "if introverts wanna be heard, they need to become extroverts because they do not have the average social/emotional intelligence that extroverts do." The reason I say this is because there are a myriad of socialites with 0 skills whatsoever yet they hold a greater reach and clout than even the smartest programmer who just sits in his house all day coding. Why? Because they have people who will vouch for what they'll say. "Actions not words" certainly holds merit, but if you got 1,000 people who can vouch for you or are willing to lie on your behalf, it holds greater sway in human society than you being capable of maintaining the most complex and incredible code bases.

It's a "tax" on un-invested capital, sure, in the same way a fine is a "tax" on undesirable behavior.

I think tax is the wrong word because a tax implies a kind of tithe on top of desirable behavior. A fine implies that you are being penalized for undesirable behavior. I think the latter is a more apt description.

Your mattress full of hundos is detrimental to the economy and you are being fined for maintaining it.

Savings accounts are not an example of unproductive capital because they collateralize loans. That's why they're not subject to the inflationary haircut. They're not particularly productive hence the low return, which may be below inflation. However, that's an ROI below benchmark, not inflation. i.e. savings accounts are just a bad investment. Bad investments will exist in any market conditions.

Personally I maintain a small cash buffer in a savings account and I pay the (small) delta between inflation and interest rate as a fee for liquidity.
Reagan was very popular, the US was on an upswing, and Mondale came across with a very wooden personality. The message seemed more positive from Reagan.

This is somewhat related, but I'm working on impact based metrics that doesn't focus on commits, but is based on a contribution formula that I'm currently working on. You can get a sense of how the formula works by switching to the impact view in the following link:

As a side note, if you want, DM me your public repos and I'll add them to my public index list, as your contributions might have a greater impact that you may think. Plus it will provide me with more data points for refining my formula.

How are people watching all of these different animes? I don't see many of the titles listed in comments here available for streaming online or through any of the torrent sites in aware of. I recently subscribed to VRV so that I could easily watch Attack on Titan and a few others but it's missing Lain and a lot of the other titles mentioned in here.
Armin's work is great but I'm curious if the Mars rover really implements a web interface? Are all the boto AWS libs just dependencies of opencv with its mess of supported data sources? Why are they deploying unit testing code to Mars? Given the 28 minute average round trip time between Mars and Earth for a light speed signal, they can't realistically be running distributed workloads partly happening on Earth.

All the PKI libs are amusing, too. JPL isn't sending signals to Mars via public networks, are they?
Wasn't that the case with Lehman's? No savers affected yet still precipitated a huge crisis. Too big to fail.
I literally state in my post that I am referring to garbage collection and memory safety. I literally even state this specifically because I knew if I didn't someone would bring up completely irrelevant details for the sake of argument. And yet... here we are.

In Rust, data races are undefined behavior, and so safe Rust mostly prevents them even though there are still to this day subtle issues about where the boundary between safe and unsafe Rust is. That said, this is a great thing that Rust provides, it's a genuinely incredible step forward, but it has very little to do with this topic.

However in Java, data races are not undefined behavior, they have well specified semantics and do not result in memory errors the same way they do in Rust or C++:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-17.htm...

Calling a NullPointerException a memory safety violation is like calling a panic on unwrap or panic on array out of bounds a memory safety violation (they're not). Both are well defined operations with specified semantics.

Are they likely bugs? Yes absolutely, but neither Java or Rust prevent developers from writing bugs and the fact that you're confusing program correctness with memory safety only indicates that it's you who gravely misunderstands the concepts being discussed.

I would point you towards Stuxnet and take a look at how sofisticated a state level attack can be and the fact that today Iran still can not keep us (America/Israel) out of it's centrifuges. Everything you type online is being stored by multiple actors, to think they can't access a small company with limited resources is wishful thinking. If no one in Signal's 180 employees is working for the feds I would be embarrassed to be an American.
Really underrated channel.
I do actually use a password manager (zx2c4's pass) to manage my own passwords. But my mother has a book I purchased for her as an Xmas gift one year, for exactly the reason you described, I am confident she understands the security properties of a book, (e.g. a stranger left alone in a room with the book can read it) whereas I have my doubts with a password manager.

I used a book for passwords issued by that employer because at that time they lacked any in-house password manager and I foresaw from the outset that I would want to be able to hand them "my passwords" in the limited context of that employment as distinct from stuff like my personal Wikipedia account, my Google account and so on.

I went on a guided climb of the Grand Teton several years ago. At some point above treeline the guide pointed to a bunch of large-ish (1-2 nalgene bottles in volume) smooth stones, and asked "why do you think river stones are in a place that's never had any rivers?"

Money is just a unit of account. But without enough of it the system gums up and people are left unemployed. We moved on from the gold standard for good reason.
The argument is roughly "incumbent, economy, sexism" in that order. When things have recently trended positively (particularly with the economy), as they did in 1984, the incumbent almost always wins in the US.

On Sexism, Mondale chose Ferraro as his running mate (the first major party ticket with a woman!). This wasn't received well overall: "only 22% of women were pleased about her selection, versus 18% who agreed that it was a bad idea. 60% of all voters thought that pressure from women's groups had led to Mondale's decision, versus 22% who believed that he had chosen the best available candidate."

During the general campaign, he openly vowed to raise taxes. Even in the Democratic primaries, in 2020, Elizabeth Warren went from front-runner to done the moment she awkwardly acknowledged that taxes would go up under her health plan.

So in a general election, in the 1980's? Forget it. Americans do NOT want to pay for anything themselves. Not then, not now. Even America's version of a left only believes that taxes should go up for other people, not themselves.

They're using radio waves so yeah, it's public. In fact I suspect the protocols are pretty much standardized because why reinvent those wheels?

I'm sure there's some blog post at the bottom of an internet rabbit hole where someone figured out the protocol, or just knows it, or is the one who invented it.

It's not a defense thing, NASA may well have published the details themselves. In fact, that's pretty much the point of NASA.

Depends on the scope and intent. If they're anything like our China partner, the scope is far outside the contract and the intent is pretty clearly nefarious. They act like we're too stupid to understand or recognize what they're doing, too.
> Who in the right mind thought that would be a good idea?

Someone who doesn’t care or know or care to know. If the company (or manager in some cases) doesn’t treat people right they may not do anything above the bare minimum to survive.

So the next time a problem comes up, e.g. the old password field in the database only holds 8 characters but someone sent a memo around requiring users to provide passwords of a certain length, they might just truncate the input - problem solved, now back to lunch. Or if they would have to argue or fill in a form for a new database, they might just not do it. It could even be that they have incentive for this, e.g., easier to get raise if they don’t ask for new task related things all the time.

Whenever something stupid happens I’m reminded of the movie Office Space, this happens even at FAANGs.

I like some of this stuff, but he's part of the system and you can tell from his writing. The system that gets off on having information disparity between the powers and the people.

Very little value added at all but much extracted.

Bloomberg terminal subscriptions with $20k+/year licenses as one small example. The equivalent of an Oracle to many on here and the licensing most despise but for some reason nobody questions this guy? Or Bloomberg/CNBC/similiar in general? Or anyone peddling any financial stuff? Would we just trust a big co enterprise salesperson that's been around the block? No we wouldn't.

Anyway, he said of Archegos before:

"But one thing I want to say about the banks is that if you were one of Hwang’s prime brokers and you had perfect information — about how big he was and how concentrated, about how many banks were financing him, about his effect on stock prices, about Viacom’s stock offering, etc. — you might still rationally do this trade, if you were confident you could get out first."

You'd have to be part of the system to make a statement like that.

Banks take deposits and list them as assets. And then get risky with that money they have relatively low cash reserves for. And when they screw up, it costs them less than what they gained. It's ridiculous.

The financial engineers' version of rational is reckless.

Herman said a tweet by Tesla Chief Elon Musk on Monday afternoon saying that data logs retrieved so far indicated the car's autopilot was not engaged was the first officials had heard from the company.

"If he is tweeting that out, if he has already pulled the data, he hasn’t told us that," Herman told Reuters. "We will eagerly wait for that data."

"We have witness statements from people that said they left to test drive the vehicle without a driver and to show the friend how it can drive itself," Herman added.

When I’m learning something

let’s say I want to learn python but in order to learn python I’ll find courses on Udemy since it’s cheap and some of the courses are really high quality.

I’ll pick a course and start learning while learning I’ll make sure to take notes so I can write concepts learned from the course into my own words as this really helps me understand better.

Few things to note: while learning make sure you are focused on one resource and you have a goal in mind. For example why are you learning python what do you plan to do
after learning python and
definitely pick a project to solidify your learning.

I hope this helps :)

Some of this I agree with, even if the overall is to me asking for "magic" (I wouldn't mind trying to get there though).

For me the one I really want is "serverless" SQL databases. On every cloud platform at the moment, whatever cloud SQL thing they're offering is really obviously MySQL or Postgres on some VMs under the hood. The provisioning time is the same, the way it works is the same, the outage windows are the same.

But why is any of that still the case?

We've had the concept of shared hosting of SQL DBs for years, which is definitely more efficient resource wise, why have we failed to sufficiently hide the abstraction behind appropriate resource scheduling?

Basically, why isn't there just a Postgres-protocol socket I connect to as a user that will make tables on demand for me? No upfront sizing or provisioning, just bill me for what I'm using at some rate which covers your costs and colocate/shared host/whatever it onto the type of server hardware which can respond to that demand.

This feels like a problem Google in particular should be able to address somehow.

This is not my experience at all, and I've eaten from at least one deli in every state between PA and ME except RI, and grew up surrounded by Italian delis.
