What you said is correct but thats what even the commenter means, he explicitly talks about the GUI side not linux community on the whole. Lets accept that GUIs built or made for linux are not the best in terms of UX.
I regularly find the linux software have the worst UI (GIMP top of the head). Unless its an electron app tho, when the UI is consistent. I also understand that its a community/solo developer effort. But, if linux wants to be a viable Desktop alternative, its time linux developers think from user perspective or bring in some UX designers to improve GUIs, or standardise a GUI toolkit/framework, which can be used to build upon by flutter or whatever. If linux wants to stick to server and Terminals then its solid.
In general, if you read about the savanna, the consensus seems to be lions and hyenas tend to avoid picking fair fights with the other, because both pose a serious danger. And lions very often steal hyena's kills, subverting the image from The Lion King.

Hyenas are very clever social animals and very good hunters. And very dangerous, too.

> I have no idea how important aircraft carrier fleet is.

It’s the most important part of a modern blue water navy and has been since WW2. The US also has a world-dominating submarine fleet.
Sure, but add on the associated doubling of a countries electricity generation capacity, reticulation, storage and maintenance and it won't be.
I had a customer years ago using a Vic-20 as the controller for his greenhouse. The Vic-20 at that time had already been discontinued.

He bought in two units to fix to have in stock since he already had a unit running his greenhouse.

I asked him why use Vic-20s when there were a number of controllers already on the market. He said the problem he never knew when the present unit may fail and the Vic-20 did the job of an $10,000 controller which he did not know how long it would take to get the present controller to work on his system and the present one works fine.

It has been decades since I did the work and I would not be surprised if the system is still working today because he was prepared.
An example that strikes me as a stepping stone towards this (although, I believe, a little less clear cut) is Up in Australia, a partnership between a software company and Bendigo Bank, e.g. https://up.com.au/blog/up-cycling-core-banking/
Labor benefits from operating within long standing regulated industry. Even if overly bureaucratic. More stability, less fluctuation in wages.

> despite things improving in absolute terms across the board

Things increasing in absolute terms isn’t improvement in and of itself; improvement consists in, and only in, enhancements to someone’s experienced utility.

> I'm not clear on what the (moral) argument is for acting to mitigate it on that basis.

The moral argument depends on the moral principals you subscribe to. With utilitarianism or Rawlsian liberalism, the argument is fairly trivial. In the moral framework of, say, Objectivism or Austrian economics there probably isn’t an argument, but the very idea of measuring aggregate outcomes to assess progress in those systems has no direct moral relevance, its just a way of redirecting complaints from people with different moral frameworks. The whole theory of appeal to broad aggregate measures is as an assumed proxy for broad experienced utility.
Depending on who you are and why you took my cake, it could be a tax, confiscation, theft, a fine...
It only soves the problem partially. The drawback of AppImage is that it cannot package an application containing multiple executables such as Emacs. The best solution may be coping Apples' app-bundle idea. An app-bundle is just a folder containing metadata, executables, shared libraries (dylibs), text files and images. This package format can be installed by just dragging and dropping the folder to /Applications directory and
deleted by just removing the folder. The Finder file manager shows the app bundle as the application icon and allows running the app by clicking on the app-bundle folder. This idea is easy to implement on Linux, it would decrease Linux fragmentation and the work duplication
that happens when packaging some application.
Well that's relative to competition right?

In the US there are A LOT of banks / competition.
I think the _real_ takeaway here should be that your status page should be simple, with as little dependencies as possible, ideally none.

IMHO it should be a static page using Hugo, Jekyll or roll your own if you really have to.

None of this precludes you from using the same domain, though you'd want to use a subdomain, for instance status.product.com
Agreed with the other comment that this sounds extremely unusual. I started at 45k/yr and now make an order of magnitude more, with jobs that spanned an extremely diverse range of company sizes, lifecycles, and domains - large pre-dotcom tech company, weird mid-size B2B startup, large non-profit, mid-size B2C startup, and now modern tech company. The B2C startup was the only one where I ever worked more than 8 hours a day outside of exceptional circumstances, and even there it was relatively rare.
A Day in a Pentester's Life
Hello everyone,

So I've been dabbling in blogging (lazily).

Have written a new post on how a day might look in a penetration tester's life.

Please have a look and provide feedback,it'll help me a lot.

I am aiming to write 2 posts per week. Your feedbacks would go a long way in my improvement.

Here's the link:-

PCR is literally the lowest hanging fruit. It is a glorified rice cooker. There are many bigger open hardware problems to tackle in biology such as sequencing, anything optics related, and general process automation. It is not good for hardware and software people entering the field to get distracted with making PCR machines.

To put it in context, take for example web collaborative software. They are very hard to build correctly and get right so most collaborative software in general are close sourced SaaSes. Imagine if a bunch of native/desktop software engineers decided to take a look at the problem and suggest that, hey, we need more open source real time collaborative software so let's build yet another web framework. Another web framework isn't needed and doesn't solve the problem! The problem is lack of correct CRDT and operational transform libraries. We don't need yet another web framework. I hope this analogy makes sense because everytime a biology thread comes up on HN the discussion pivots to "how can I help by focusing on x y z bioinformatics etc" and completely misses the point. Hard problems sometimes need to be tackled head on.

Leave low hanging fruits to academia and interns. If you are a software/hardware engineer with >5 years of experience then recreating the Todo MVC equivalent in biomedical engineering isn't helping anyone. Many of the bio posts here feels like those low effort and inaccurate web dev tutorials on medium.com written by bootcamp grads that would never make it to the front of HN, but for some reason the people here are happy to swallow the equivalent in life science hook, line, and sinker.

Condolences on the loss of coworkers.

But this seems interesting to software people who haven't been doing embedded, but who can wrangle C well enough to adapt (quickly?) to embedded constraints and interfaces.
The studies that justify it are absolutely bonkers too.

One study compares the ACGME limits (max 24 hour shifts) against a "flexible" system with 28 hour ones. Unsurprisingly, there's no effect--since both groups are totally zonked at the end. Meanwhile, data from lab experiments and virtually every other field (trucking, aviation, etc) shows that performance craters well before that.

The rationale for long shifts (other than money) is "handoff": when a new doctor takes over, details about the patient's condition and treatment plan get lost in the shuffle. In some cases, they might not ever have been recorded (e.g., a subliminal impression of a patient's color or breathing). Many people are weirdly nihilistic about improving this, but it seems like it almost has to be the lower-hanging fruit since solving it doesn't require butting up against fundamental limits of human physiology.
Yeah, most routers have a predefined list of "Applications" but you can add a custom application with custom port.

Back in the day, DynDNS actually allowed the IP to DNS as a free service.
The absolute enormous surge in carjackings can’t help.

Normally you have to go through the effort of getting somebody stop, unlock the doors and give you the car. Now you can get red carpet service for your carjacking.

Cities are basically helpless to handle it too because they’re always minors and the police aren’t allowed to chase.
Ask HN: US Semiconductor/Foundries or orgs positioned to capitalize on onshoring
I am looking for companies, ideally publicly traded but not necessarily, that are positioned to capitalize on domestic US foundry and semiconductor production and the onshoring of semiconductor supply chain.

Can you point me to them?

As a bonus, the same goes for Europe.

Mostly looking to do equity purchases, options if liquid. But open to more illiquid things as well.
Reducing Queue Times by Using Speculative Execution
Amazon currently employs 798,000 employees. It touches essentially every household, and based on revenue and customer counts is clearly a well used service with utility for a great many people. It is valued by investors at 1660 billion dollars (1.6T market cap), and in 2020 earned revenue of 386 billion dollars. Those employees seem to feel it's a positive deal for them, and the investors certainly seem happy to value it at that amount. Not everyone is happy, but that is true of most things in my experience. They still seem happier than a lot of people at Walmart or the like.

How much would be appropriate for the person who had the vision (back before Amazon existed) to build it, pulled the right folks together, hired and fired who it took to make it work, and structured them and the work they were doing to produce that over a decade - including all the reviews and direction through good times and bad? 1%? 5%? 25%? Even 1% is 16 billion dollars. Most people would argue it should be a lot more than 5% if you stripped out the dollar amounts and the names.

My entire argument is don't work for free. Your experience (if equity was involved, also a lot of luck) does not represent reality for the vast majority of devs who work lots of overtime and are never compensated for it... Some voluntarily, like yourself, and others who now have to row to the unnecessary pace they set.
> It is bonkers to me that anyone still banks at the large institutions (the ones famous for overdraft "protection") with local credit unions being as good as they are (and often very competitive on rates).

And whenever you ask someone why the hell they use UltraMegaBankOfAbuse, they always cite some far fetched scenario that makes Credit Unions slightly less convenient. “Well, if I ever found myself in the deserts of Morocco, and needed to use an ATM to pay my electric bill, there wouldn’t be a Credit Union branch there, so checkmate! I obviously need to bank with Chase!” It’s like they are looking for any excuse to abuse themselves.
This is how I practice, in the rare times that I have the discipline to do so systematically. Most of the time, I start from the top and play until I get tired. So I'm always better at the earliest parts of pieces.

> you can avoid the 4-hour dealership visit pretty easily these days

I'm not a frequent new car buyer. The last two times I bought a car (over the past 5 years) we had agreed on a specific car, had cash in hand, and did not have a trade-in to negotiate. The wait wasn't over "coming to a deal" or anything. It just seemed like bureaucratic paperwork process that would normally be built into the haggling; waiting on tags, title, insurance or some other seemingly made up step. Late in the paperwork process there were upsells already added on to the car.

I have zero idea what the average new car buyer is, but I feel like most will drive a bit to find the specific car they want but they want servicing to be nearby. I get that coupling financing, trade-in, test driving and purchasing is good for the customer. I also don't see things changing in the next 20 years, but black swan events do happen. Every decade or two someone, like Tesla, tries to shake things up and other events like auto bailouts or cash-for-clunkers has potential to disrupt things. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if EV adoption erodes dealership service center margins. I know cars.com was trying before Carvana to side-step the dealer process and Carmax seems to have found success--like you said, all eventually settled on used cars.
If you're constantly lethargic and tired, consider seeing an endocrinologist and having some tests done.
Our bottom line would look a lot better if we didn't have to redesign perfectly good electronics all the time.

Well, I can think of at least one easy way to avoid that problem. If you document your hardware and put a leash on your lawyers, you'll find that your customers and their independent service organizations will be glad to take on this responsibility for you.

"OT" vs "IT":

"Operational Tech" (pipeline and safety-critical monitor and control)

and

"Information Tech" (payroll, email, other business stuff)

?

I could only imagine trying to tell a large corporation that their "IT" authentication system can't be linked to the access card keys for the front gate, or whatever other physical security they might have in place.

It doesn't matter if we can formally prove that a remote access system is sufficiently secure as to aloow engineers to operate valves and pumps from home... For inevitably, some months from now, a wildly insecure utility will be connected to that, and you lose the ability to reason about how to keep the streams from crossing.

> doesn't define me as a human being

This is it.

I've had various issues with unrealistic requests and timelines from those to whom I report, and it feels as if I need to, somehow, "work harder" (whatever that means) to prove that I'm trying to execute their impossible plan.

When I get home, however, the mere presence of my wife and kids, and even pet(s), remind me of how I actually define myself, WHO I AM.

I like art. Be it paintings, music, film, TV shows. That's where I find "myself". I'm good at things I do for work, but I don't care about it the way I care about the meanings of life I can find staring into a painting, or listening to a song (anywhere from Mr. Bungle to Debussy) or watching a TV show (anywhere from Adventure Time to For All Mankind).

I'm privileged enough, and have planned ahead enough, that I could significantly downgrade my already not-very-prestigious, but quite demanding job, and live well.

My job doesn't come close to defining me, to myself anyway. That's probably the other "thing" - how people want to be able to define themselves to others. I'm relatively unaffected by that particular neuroticism.
or maybe the notion that russia is even behind it is a lie aimed at stoking tensions between the united states and russia, probably for the sake of profitting companies like digital shadows--or wharever it was called.
It gets worse. There are plenty of examples of where a company in a dominant market position with ample cash to work with used bully lawsuits to bankrupt an emerging competitor, then bought them in receivership only to kill the company in total the next instant. For me personally the salient example is what Creative did to Aureal, because what happened is particularly clear cut. I'm not joking when I say the Aureal drivers and support website went offline the very day the bankruptcy acquisition committed.

Likewise, there are some pretty infamous examples of the giants doing this crap to each other, like this one: https://www.forbes.com/asap/2002/0624/044.html
Simple was also running on a legacy bank back end... until they got shut down that is. Nothing can really prevent startups from selling out. (Obviously we don't have to worry about Apple being bought by Goldman and shut down.)

Photoshop and Gimp are worlds apart.

Depending on the user( mostly developers). Linux in its current state is a NO for the people who want AAA Games and Adobe/Affinity Toolset. And many of the apps you mentioned are Electron Apps which are what commenter mentions about. Dont get me wrong but usability/readability of linux way apps dont come anywhere near other OSs because they're primarily designed by developers not design teams. I dont blame them. But to be a mass desktop alternative, linux has some climbing to do.
Another curve to add to this (very nice) collection is the parallel curve of an Euler spiral. It's mathematically very similar to a circle involute, but with some nice and interesting properties of its own.

Easiest opto-isolator is to epoxy the sfp into the socket, and then fill the rx port on the critical side with epoxy, and then just run one fiber. The epoxy may seem excessive, especially if the sfp dies and you have to swap a whole nic, but it makes people stop and think.
And customers. There's really no upside to Uber. The only reason anyone ever used it was because it was a cheap cab. Increasingly that's no longer true -- and you have to wait 15-20 minutes sometimes to get a driver. With that I might as well walk or take a cab.
i'm not sure if you are still interested in pursuing a pharmacological route but SSRI's are some of the least effective anti-depressants available today. many meta-reviews have pegged them as not better in a statistically significant way than the placebo.

if you're willing to still give it a shot, see if your doctor is willing to prescribe tricyclic antidepressants or MAO-I's. mao-i's in particular are very effective but come with some dietary restrictions (certain cheese and fermented foods are off the table).
I think it's a terrible interview question, unless maybe you're hiring an electrical engineer.

It's not something you can expect someone to reason through from the basics, and it's not something I'd expect someone to know unless they've worked on problems involving the technique.
> With Uber they seem to take pretty close to half get to push all the vehicle expenses on the driver.

This is only seems to be true, depending on definitions, when the fares are low. On a dollar basis, it seems, from my quick googling, that Uber is taking much less than 50%.
You don't need to worry about null check removal optimizations unless you do this:

int main() {
char *p;
p = mmap(0, 65536, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
// ...
return __builtin_popcountl((uintptr_t)p);
}

Or you do this:

void ContinueOnError(int sig, siginfo_t *si, ucontext_t *ctx) {
xed_decoded_inst_zero_set_mode(&xedd, XED_MACHINE_MODE_LONG_64);
xed_instruction_length_decode(&xedd, (void *)ctx->uc_mcontext.rip, 15);
ctx->uc_mcontext.rip += xedd.length;
}

int main() {
signal(SIGSEGV, ContinueOnError);
volatile long *x = NULL;
printf("*NULL = %ld\n", *x);
}
Well, to be fair, the government doesn't control the pipeline...
I think you're possibly reading more into my statements than there was. No need to be so confrontational.

Retail price for the V6 premium trim Mustang I bought was about $26000 retail. The modern equivalent I would say is a V4 with basic trim, because the 2021 base model comes with considerably more technology than the 2011 premium. The only practical difference is leather vs. cloth seats. The retail price for that car is about 27000. So yeah, I think you can get the roughly the same amount of Mustang today for the same price 10 years ago.

If you look at the V4 premium, then yeah it's about 20% more expensive than the base model which tracks estimated inflation. You're getting considerably more technology than the premium model a decade ago, though. It's a better car. Maybe not 20% better though.

I'm laughing about the peg board prices. You're calling me out with numbers, but it seems like you're ignoring the dimensions, and I explicitly claimed that my estimate was unsubstantiated. I just looked it up as well, and the equivalent quality sheet is $19 per 4'x8' sheet at the closest Lowes. I bought a 4'x4' sheet locally for $19. So, I only paid 2x. Seems like a high premium still. I wonder what home improvement stores pay wholesale?
Another possible solution to this problem -- one some gamers are starting to use to fend off accusations of cheating -- is to set up a separate camera recording oneself and the screen. It's not a perfect solution but it could potentially rule out some false positives.
How could it? There are thousands of cyberattacks against US companies and infrastructure every day.

There are cyberattacks and then there's going after the most important domestic energy line of a superpower.

This is quite different from your run of the mill cyberattack, they're not all created equal.
If that were true, no one would drive for uber, the free market would handle it.
