> Kids will get burner devices if they're grounded, they will jailbreak/root phones/devices to bypass controls, they will buy sims at 7/11 to get around time/restrictions - they may find a drawer of old devices and keep one alive for tethering and many other things - lock down their PC? they will install bluestacks and have unlimited android environment...

This brought to mind: Years ago when I was a teen, my mom grounded me and took my desktop away for quite a while, which was like a death sentence even back then. Given that it was an oversized cube case and there really wasn't anywhere to lock it away, I would always just grab it after school and keep using it until she got home. Problem is, she put the computer next to the door so I had to resort to locking the second lock to give myself time to put it back when she got home. I didn't think about it at the time but I. was being blatantly obvious and she clued me in years later that she knew what I was doing from the beginning.

Punishments don't have to be all or nothing, they can be like locks: they won't stop the determined, but they will stop the opportunists. The punishment is the inconvenience of the workaround and often has the added benefit that enforcement requires spending more time with them. </parenting "advice" from a coddled nonparent>

IRC in the old days is only tangentially analogous to today's sophisticated addiction services.

I suggest watching the Social Dillema on Netflix for an idea. Here's a decent article I recently read on the subject, though there are probably better ones: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-lonely-burden-of-todays-tee...

Perhaps my argument is not clear enough, but it feels like we are not arguing the same point. I have no problem with technology, simply that kids should not be the product. There are plenty of higher-quality alternatives, just like there are alternatives to broadcast television and McDonalds.
They MITM connections that aren't encrypted and prevent them from becoming so.

Many bitcoin mixers are not HSTS preloaded. And to avoid creating a trail, TOR Browser doesn't save frequently visited sites, history for autocomplete, cached redirects, or cached HSTS headers between sessions.

And as Tor users prize secrecy, many don't bookmark their bitcoin mixer. Instead they key in the address manually - and sometimes they're used to doing without the https://www. prefix. And by convention, browsers use http when you do that.

The exit node then removes the http-to-https redirect, and presents the bitcoin mixer over http, with the bitcoin addresses replaced.

The result looks like this: https://imgur.com/otaBerJ

No MITM of encrypted connections needed.

It's almost impossible for the Tor project to detect this, as the attackers only target a small whitelist of sites - so the Tor project can only detect attackers by guessing the sites on the attack whitelist.
But neanderthals are found in europe, not africa. Doesn't it go against your argument?
Right, exactly. And we could learn from spotify (pay the creators more). But the ebook library is huge now and could easily be transformed. The only problem is that they aren't charging a monthly subscription fee (like Spotify) and so they would have to use donation dollars to fund that. And yet, I have to wait 15 weeks to get a book on my kindle because other people are reading it first, which seems very outdated.
So... another case of "too much of a good thing?" I feel like the point comes up again and again... eat a variety of foods... everything in moderation? No single food is a cure-all or magically going to fix your problems. I'm sure if you eat too much of damn near anything, there will be some negative effects.
Anyone considering using type hints should listen to this talk: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/dynamic-static-typing/

I personally think it's mostly a waste of time to do type hinting for the purpose of catching errors in a strongly typed language like Python. Type errors just aren't practically a problem in dynamic languages. Doing types for performance is a great reason to do it, though.
There are a couple of other big reasons related to differences between film and digital sensors.

First film is much less sensitive to the angle at which light strikes it. There are some great, sharp old lens designs from leica, zeiss and others that show heavy light fall off in the corners on digital sensors. This is a big part of why even f1.8 or 2 lenses need to be more complicated.

Next film grain itself has sharp edges which effectively sharpens images a bit and also limits the resolution and generally has a pleasing effect when viewed at high magnification. With digital you don't get that and lens flaws get a lot more obvious.

I don't complain that Linux is hard to administer with PowerShell. I learned SSH and Bash.

The reverse does not seem to be true, Linux admins generally expect everything to work exactly the same in Windows as in Linux.

A negative effect of this is that Windows has many recent hires working on some of their teams with mostly Linux experience, and they're copying Linuxisms into Windows bug-for-bug. Even if it makes no sense in Windows.

A recent example that boiled my blood is that the new Windows Terminal emulates the incorrect "Clear-Host" behaviour of ancient Linux terminals. It doesn't clear the virtual terminal any more, just the current viewport. Before, it was a convenient way to reset the terminal's display state without resetting variables. NOW, it just deletes some of the display state, so if you scroll back you get scrambled garbage.

This is not a small thing: it's significantly impacting my workflow. I've seen garbage output, overwritten output, scrolling back accidentally corrupts the output completely, you name it. This is not a coding error, this is correctly copying a limitation of some terrible terminal from the 1960s nobody should give a shit about in 2021.

Worse: If you look back at the history of the debate around fixing this, as far back as the early 1990s there were Linux people advocating for fixing this! It's obviously broken.

Then: When the same debate came up in the Windows Terminal issue tracker, people making the same rational, logical arguments were shot down with: "We have to copy the standard."

Hint: There is no "standard". This is not an RFC. It's just what Linux does! Linux does this just because this is what some random MIT or Berkley student wrote in a hurry in the 1960s! If you make the argument that the majority of systems work some way or another, and that's a defacto standard... then Windows should win because it was used for the the vast majority of computing for many decades. Linux has taken over only recently, and only in some areas (Android and web servers).

I understand why you used a question mark, but this is a true statement on its own.
You're not alone on this. I recently saw this video from a guitar teacher who has been doing it since the 90s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emOJdqsEU0o

He charts the patterns in how his students engaged with music over his career and comes to the same conclusions you do, shifting from a very highly engaged relationship with bands and acts to a relationship with music as more of an aural thing. Often he finds people don't even necessarily know the names of the songs they enjoy, while in the past people would read liner notes and learn a whole origin story for their favorite acts.

He attributes it largely to the neverending algorithmic feed. You don't need to know anything about the music you like to find more music like it, the feed does it for you. Not always for the best of course. I recently started listening to the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack and really enjoy it, but algorithmic feeds seem to associate it with a lot of anime soundtracks and Jpop rather than associating it with jazz and funk, the actual musical genres the soundtrack is in.
Point of order: BPF wasn't written simply for tcpdump; it's part of a line of research on using PL runtimes to configure and operate networking stacks; so, right after McCanne's BPF paper, you get MPF, which is proposed to do all of demux for Mach.
> It’s the nature of governments and bureaucracies to try and control as much as they can. The kinds of people who draft these regulations aren’t interested in limited legislation

> Everything you complain about Windows Server not supporting is actually supported, but it was your unfamiliarity that was ultimately the issue.

Funny, I've seen people saying exactly that when newbies bounce off some aspect of Linux, and in both cases it's a usability failure.

Discoverability of this stuff on Windows is terrible. Things like powershell remoting exist but getting them working between two random machines is opaque. Yes, some of it gets easier in a domain, and that's one of the big Windows wins (since the NIS/YP era), but domains are an extremely premium feature.
I have never seen a health-care plan in the US with real out-of-pocket maxes. The fine-print is crazy on those clauses. We got burned by going to an ER while traveling, and while the ER bill was covered under out-of-pocket maxes, both doctors who saw our son in the ER were not employees of the ER, and so counted as neither in-network nor emergency room care. Basically 90% of the bill was not subject to the out-of-pocket maximum on our plan.

the kids who needed the least help tended to discover this program

Heck yeah did you hit the nail on the head. I've analyzed the data over a period of years for which students utilize tutoring services: They very much tend to be students that were already doing alright before they started getting tutoring.

Conscientious self-motivated students are precisely the ones most likely to seek out help on their own. As a result, for students that go on academic probation we now require them to attend a certain amount of tutoring hours each semester, and the software we use to manage advising caseloads allows faculty to raise a flag for students performing poorly so that advisors can pro-actively reach out and direct them to tutoring resources.

This has led to a huge increase in tutoring resource utilization, but unfortunately they are now at the limits of their capacity. Our next hurdle is to analyze the academic outcomes of students using those resources, which will hopefully show increased performance & allow us to petition for more support services.

Fortunately our leadership is not completely short-sighted on these issues, but as obvious as "more one-on-one advising & support" would seem, they (not too unreasonably) still demand very concrete evidence to justify additional expenditures. However it would be nice if they viewed customer service of this sort as the profit center it is, rather than a cost center. The problem is that things like the benefits of quality tutoring of freshmen may not yield tangible results for a few years, so things move slowly.

This seems likely. Went through a tracing RFP at a large company and people knew products like datadog, splunk, appdynamics, even honeycomb, but had never heard of lightstep. Even ex-googlers who knew bhs had never heard of lightstep. And when I was being recruited by lightstep in early 2020, before COVID, the process ended in a hiring freeze. I never got the impression they were thriving.

Given that even credit card numbers have a security number, aka checksum, it's a little silly that they just enter any id number without one, esp for things like loans.
Ultimately it's working on game tech and companies like Roblox also hire for other roles that don't have exact equivalent in web or mobile development (art and game design roles mostly). Limiting your definition of "game development" to content heavy games with low pay and longer hours, especially when the industry is moving away from that type of game with a few exceptions, doesn't make sense.
Should we be alarmed that a system as error prone as incremental compilation (in any language, I remember Apple flirting with fix-and-continue with Objective-C as well) is considered mandatory to have a reasonable developer experience with Rust due to massive compilation times?
imho, for most, the biggest advantage of writing a book is to upsell consulting after that.

together with that, it is a great learning opportunity for the author.

I was pretty unhappy as a teenager. Not as much formal responsibility (though arguably the responsibilities wrt study etc have more serious consequences), but more autonomy at least.
To me the best thing is that it is decently quick compared to other systems that I have used. Querying a table directly in SQL? Instant. Querying that same table in Remedy? 30 seconds. I'm sure the people behind Remedy have a great reason for it, but I do not care.

Servicenow occasionally does a spinnywheel but 99% of the time I have loaded the table I need in less than 5 seconds.

Plus:

- I can open it in multiple tabs. Not the shitty in-app tabs with unclear labels that take forever to switch, actual browser tabs. Other solutions give you a session collision if you open two tabs. In SNOW you can middle click anything.

- The search is decent.

- I dont have to click a goddamn 'form fill' button on every single field. If your form designer isn't braindead you can tab you way through the form without needing a mouse.

- I can make my own templates for common tasks and use them right away without invoking a manager. I can put my favorite templates on a toolbar instead of having to click into a sub-page.

None of these things are big asks but they are things that, as a user, the competition is chronically bad at.
> I love Europe, and I want to see the European Union succeed.

As a socialist (regardless of my more specific views), I really cannot understand how these two views can be held at once.

The EU is an anti-democratic mechanism for concentrating economic and political power in few hands within Europe. Many member states basically forced it onto their citizens despite mass objections and even votes against entrance (or rather, adoption of the Maastricht treaty). And the EU has brought mostly negative effects for most Europeans IMHO. It would have been much better for residents of the continent to bring countries, societies and economies closer without this kind of central control.

The proposed measure, of forcing good-will providers of root servers, to have to submit to EU inspections of premises, is a (admittedly rather minor) example of this aspect of the "spirit" of the EU.
>It would be much quicker to board and harder to defend if an assault team could land basically anywhere on the ship simultaneously. All of a sudden you have people assaulting from front, rear, sides, top and then downwards etc etc.

Yes; see 3:45, when three people in jetsuits arrive at once.

In a situation where boarding is urgent, each additional arrival increases the chance that someone will succeed in getting a ladder down.
Also in this heavy fire environment, my first choice wouldn’t be to send a slow moving guy covered with fuel tanks.

Incision - to cut into

Decision - to cut away

Making a decision is to cut away all other choices, leaving only one. It's why making a decision is so powerful: other choices are off the table and we're free to pursue a single option.
I'm quite deep into react, angular, angularJS on the frontend spectrum. Still my first reaction was: "JIT? CSS? Wth?"

My reflecting alter ego of course tells me this is quite probably a great achievement. And I'll read into this matter professionally, probably use it where appropriate. Still I think a world where JIT is needed to process a non-turing complete layout language (which I know has turned into a horrible mess of sibling-eating lovecraftian, hieronymus-bosch-y amalgamation of CSS and javascript) is doomed to fail.

This felt good (note the past tense).
Yes, I was agreeing with you and forgot to tag my snarkyness as such.

Hey HN, this is our first stable release of the year, with a ton of improvements and some really cool new features: secure, remote admin API; dynamic config loading; server identity automation; and much more.

I think it'd be good to put the different tests on a more comparable footing. E.g. comparing results of different services on hosts with different network latency isn't that meaningful. And the actual queries should be something roughly equivalent too.
since you can kill by cutting, it's hard to to disentangle the killing from the mere cutting.

An anecdote: in Italy you can often see the "scissors" hand gestures when the interlocutor wants you to get to the point. I don't know how ancient people came up with the word, but the killing metaphor seems a bit of a stretch; perhaps cutting one's tongue would be enough!
Oh I've heard that. The classic "third book" being the one that goes viral. (Gillian Flynn, Dan Brown, etc.)

I agree with you on considering most books (most books don't market), but even trying to learn from the successful books isn't entirely encouraging. Even the best ones don't see a lot of reads.

But the industry is rapidly changing. We don't all watch the same three television channels anymore. Niche content is more the norm than mass marketed content.

I think the whole "creator economy" is still in its infancy, and we have yet to see whether it will actually allow creators to monetize in a meaningful way. But it's worth engaging with it as an experiment to see what happens!
I work(ed) for the same company as gambiting and can confirm this to be true.

Hit Senior (easy to do after 5y) and game companies throw money at you to come over because getting people in who have a shipping mentality is hard- most people who want to be gamedevs see the glamour, those that ship see the pain a mile away and how to avoid it.

The issue might be that most who become senior do not really move because the tool chains are largely different between companies. Frostbite and Snowdrop are incredibly different game engines and even those working on Unreal/Unity at the AAA level invariably maintain a fork due to limitations in the engine itself which makes it not compelling to sacrifice all your knowledge.

Also, I find that most companies end up turning their C++ into a custom C++-like language with fancy types like growable hash tables and vectors. Many of which have quirks which require experience otherwise there can be footguns. (Some functions may be more correct but quadratic and others are fast but less precise and knowing when to use what is part of being a senior in some companies)
That does not sound passive to me, ideally a passive income should require minimal amount of working hours outside of ones regular job

Hey HN,

Am a bit wary that the community might be against "info-products", but after the somewhat positive reception of my post the other day (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27087688), I thought this might inspire others to:

* Validate at a fast pace

* Trade overthinking for getting something out

* Share their story/ies

It'll probably make some of you wince, the fact that the info product I've validated is "My first 1,000 Twitter followers", but in all honesty, I'm doing by best to be transparent about it: I plan to share what I wish I've heard before starting.
