Students aren't employees, though. They're customers.
I mean mass incarceration for "long haul" (lets says 30+ years) prison terms absolutely could be argued to "improve" society by removing people who have broken the social contract.

The classic problem with prison is short and frequent sentences that fuck someones life up just enough to prevent them from being a "good" member of society but not long enough to really keep them away from the general population.
Monica was just the spark that lit the fire of the community-management disaster, but they'd been stockpiling fuel. Even the pronoun question itself was only raised as part of a somewhat clumsy top-down directive to move away from the "ideal questions and answers are universal and impersonal" approach that had previously served to render the matter of pronouns a non-issue. As things progressed, it soon became clear that Stack Overflow's corporate strategy was to try its hardest to stick their collective fingers in their ears and throw volunteers under the bus.

A thoughtful reader can imagine how pseudonymous moderators of the LGBT stack exchanges might be shocked by the company itself breaching an expectation of privacy, talking to the press using the volunteer's real name, and radically misrepresenting her position. What might be next? Might some of them be outed? Would a Google search for their name, too, reveal only the Stack Overflow controversy?

One open letter reads: "Stack Exchange has rewarded years of service by putting one of its volunteers in danger – and there’s now a very real feeling that we may no longer be safe on this platform." https://dearstack.artofcode.co.uk/

A resigning LGBTQ moderator wrote of the broader situation, "[Stack Exchange draws] vocal bigots from the woodwork with prompts to discussion, and then [vanishes], forcing us to decide between tacit approval through silence or defense of our own against an unchanging torrent of bigotry." https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/334575/dear-stack-e...

A lot of volunteers just went straight out the door.
> a multi-billion dollar industrial infrastructure away from being able to build one.

This is true! And the biggest reason why despite AQ Kahn selling a "make your own fat man" kit only a few countries were successful with it.

However, additive manufacturing poses a big nuclear proliferation risk. Being able to manufacture accurate parts for cheap, without advanced export controlled equipment, poses serious issues.
Would you consider hiring remotely outside of US?
> wouldn't reduce the incentive for state-level or state-funded attackers to target foreign infrastructure

No, that’s what our military is for. That said, we have limited evidence any of these recent attacks were state backed.
Yes, that is more or less the goal - with the major difference being cross-industry collaboration - every major player is included and even the community has its word.
Study Identifies Methane ‘Super-Emitters’ in Largest US Oilfield
Was it always this way? It's been a few years since I last gave it a shot.
How do you know that we’re not less secure?

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if our systems are on average far less secure simply because so much more is online now, to speak nothing of increases in the complexity of and opportunities for errors and misconfigurations in today’s systems.
> But then people never updated their os/software and we ended up with lots of vulnerabilities.

Perhaps the issue was that we insisted every program be internet connected. If everything were offline a la Battlestar Galactica, security exposure would be greatly reduced - pretty much only the standard USB stick attack vector would work.
Box Selection – Visual Studio
I wonder where all the people that complain about cryptocurrency’s energy consumption went.

It may be a problem, but it’s a hell of a lot better than situations like this. Cryptocurrency was created precisely for this reason - giving financial freedom back to the individual in a censorship-resistant manner, because it was obvious as day to the cypherpunks that created it, that governments and corporations would abuse our financial freedom where possible.
This actually just proves OPs point. When CN bought reddit, reddit thrived. They gave us a bunch of money and no constraints.

When reddit recapitalized is when all the monetization stuff really started. Once they brought in outside investors and had people to answer to.
I remember the "Days Before Stack Overflow" and Joel is giving himself a bit too much credit here. Before SO, when I googled a problem I would often find a solution on a blog, personal website, or some community's PHPBB/vBulletin forum.

yep, Stack Overflow eliminated a whole ecosystem of fantastic personal blogs. I get a ton of value out of SO, I'm not trying to hate on it unthinkingly, but there's tradeoffs in everything.
The sample you gave (and my experience in general) has official docs on the first page, but unfortunately below the fold. Top answers include various tutorial sites and an SO answer.

Ninja edit: my default search engine is DDG.
There are a priori arguments that can tell you that 0 and infinity are bad estimates. If you find out that one individual of this species can run 100m in 9.58s, there are biological intuitions that suggest certain possibilities for the entire species. Crucially, those intuitions could be entirely wrong for alien biology - they are not statistical reasoning, they are intuitions built from Earth biology.

From pure statistical reasoning, or even taking into account basic physics (e.g. speed < c) and biology (e.g. speed > 0, almost certainly speed << c), you can't conclude anything about the average speed of an alien species by finding out that one individual can run as fast as Usain Bolt.
The rich people on Martha's Vineyard don't use the ferries, they have their own yachts or helicopters to get there.
Entire groups aren’t in concentration camps in Xinjiang, though. The only source is Adrian Zenz, a far right Christian that doesn’t even speak Mandarin. If you’re willing to read on the topic https://www.qiaocollective.com/en/education/xinjiang. The US is the outlier.

US forces murder and imprison innocent people all the time, both domestically (poor and black people in general, Chelsea Manning) and abroad (Assange, Guantanamo). There is no due process of any kind nor any justice.

If you talk to some people living in China you’ll find out a lot about how the justice system works there.
The M.T.A. Is Breached by Hackers as Cyberattacks Surge
You're not wrong, but you may be reading it in the wrong tone.

There is a certain type of joke where the punchline is something that was true for so long, it's acceptable to repeat it ironically as a sort of inside joke, knowing it is obviously not true any more. Best pulled off if you were actually there, of course. I think that's what's going on here.
I've never had much trouble getting alcohol-free drinks at pubs/bars in Canada. More hip places usually have alcohol-free options (alcohol-free beer/cocktails, kombucha, etc.), and less hip places will at least have some kind of bagged herbal tea if you're avoiding caffeine. Bars/pubs will pretty much always have coffee too, even if it's not especially good.
Also keep in mind that the public SO doesn't even have to change much for there to be "big changes". SO Jobs is where the money is made and they have private Q&A sites for businesses.
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applicatio...

I believe this is the package you are talking about. The significant part is basically bash, so it should be readable without nix knowledge as well. And yeah it basically creates both a wrapper for setting some env variables, but it also replaces some dynamic lib locations with patchelf. So apparently it does startup with a different checksum/validation happens at another level.
Without going into the details: I have read the linux drivers and understood how HDMI audio and hardware sprites (planes) work amongst other details. Then implemented that myself in C and assembly with no OS. Then modified the OpenBSD kernel in a way that it can use that stuff and do even more sophisticated stuff. This is not just recompiling the kernel with some different options. It's writing substantial code. I modified 6.8 because 6.9 was not even out when I started, so it's been a couple of months of very hard work on the kernel only, not counting all the time I spent on it before when I was working bare metal. And it's not finished yet :-)
Exploiting a zero-day WebAssembly Vulnerability (CVE-2021-30734) in macOS Safari
Speedrunning is the only sport that I am excited about.
It's a bit of the "we have X at home" meme situation. Sure, ransomware existed before, but the scale was not even close to that. You can't move hundreds of millions in gift / prepaid cards without getting found. It's a completely different level of comfort for the operators.
So your answer to the problem is to encourage more ransomware attacks? You don't think ransomware itself is bad, you just take issue with the idea that you may be the victim? Training more people to use it's probably going to backfire on you then.
How much of tech?
Almost every company went fully remote. I guess you want a list of companies that will stay remote, and specifically stay remote for your role.

I would reverse engineer the approach to finding the most suitable openings for your role and filter out the ones that are not remote.

There are sites like remoteok.io which were always listing "remote ok" roles, even before the pandemic.
Its pretty common sense, if you exploit people and steal their cryptocoin wallets, that is worth a lot more than a single one time payment of 100k.
this is a very Nixian kind of oversight and it makes me laugh

I don't think I've ever actually used boot.kernelPatches, either, and I could see myself overriding the whole kernel package instead
Saving.in – Discover the Deals
> Very few people take psychedelics for long periods of time. If anything they are "anti-addictive".

The more "mainstream" ones like LSD and Mushrooms basically don't work if you're taking them every day. You can go on a multi week long Coke binge but LSD/shrooms would have near 0 effect at that rate.
Seems like unnecessary steps- I'm sure Zerodium would be happy to just pay you directly to put in a backdoor
Monero + Distributed Exchanges will go a long way to fix these kinds of online payment problems.

Unfortunately, at least near term you'll still need fiat-tether "on ramps" to convert your local currency back and forth to tether before you move them to a distributed (or at least a non-KYC) exchange to Monero, then sending to your local wallet, then use online.
"Make something people want" and/or develop rare and valuable skills. There are as many problems that people will pay money to solve as there ever has been. Also, the Who's Hiring thread is a testament to the fact that software companies are still talent limited. Perhaps specializing in security would be a good move, since that seems to be a massive ongoing problem. However, ownership is the best bet, so making some rare and valuable thing, out of software, perhaps that solves a security problem in the context of a startup ... that has to be a solid recommendation.
As a side note, thank you for posting this. I've been trying to get flakes set up on my system and this is more readable than the other dotfiles I've looked through.
Obviously, the planet as a whole rotates at a very constant speed. But the "hard" planet and the atmosphere can move in very different ways.

The 3 minute difference comes from not seeing the atmosphere as part of the planet.
This has been my exact experience. So to me it's always been a read only site.
This sort of mixed-case queries are 0x20 bit encoding and are a security measure for dns lookups, not a specific attack. The number and amount of queries may rise to the level of being a DDoS and in that case you should consider options for serving your DNS ouside of your personal infrastructure like Cloudflare or Stackpath. To put it as clearly as possible, if you are on any sort of residential line and hosting all of your DNS there it is trivial for _any_ attacker to take you offline. You simply don't have access to the bandwidth necessary to deal with the attack and your ISP is not going to care enough to provide you with any real help. It is time to let professionals with access to real resources help.
Yes, exactly: https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf

It's a key part of how nix works.
Building it is easy. Getting people to subscribe to it (creating an account, downloading an app, etc) is really, really, really hard. So is getting them to check it often enough to not forget about it.

Social networks are natural monopolies. You go where your friends already are. Once there, you tend to stay there, rather than going through the whole process again on some other site.

In this case he appears to have half-assed it. It's not impossible that his following was devoted enough to jump through those hoops. He'd have needed a catchy app and a constant stream of content to make it engaging. Maybe a whole Twitter clone ecosystem might have done it, but that comes with a ton of headaches. (Even the free-est speech platform doesn't like being overrun with spammers, for example.)

Instead, he seems to have counted on his notoriety to do all of the work, and that was surely not going to cut it.
>Conde Nast managed not to destroy Reddit after buying it.

That.... is a very positive view of Reddit. I'd say everything on Reddit is way worse now and going downhill fast.
I see you and raise my (16 shade grayscale) E-ink display.
date-fns actually barely uses Intl. Rather, it has custom locale files that must be imported to use: https://date-fns.org/v2.22.1/docs/I18n. There is a single intlFormat function: https://date-fns.org/v2.22.1/docs/intlFormat

Once I realized this I switched to Luxon, which is entirely Intl based: https://moment.github.io/luxon/docs/manual/intl.html
You can't just handwave away the problems that city planners and politicians have already been trying to solve for decades and have failed to solve.

But when those problems are solved (not likely to happen in my lifetime) I'd be willing to reconsider raising a family in the city near me.
This is HN, I'm sure people would appreciate hearing the details. Like how does this integrate with OpenBSD's existing audio/graphics stacks, do you plan to upstream your work? With it being OpenBSD, are there security implications?
I think a lot of the HN crowd think of laws like computer code- that it needs to be very exact. Most laws are fairly generalized with broad coverage, and the cases where they're not tend to be the exception, not the rule.
It is an interesting idea to have a USA model. However, I do not understand why do they have two models of the same phone? It is like saying "We have this made-in-China phone which is secure and open source but we also have this other made-in-USA phone which is more secure and more open". Oversimplistic but that is the idea.
> better gender ratio and social opportunities probably would have resulted in a stable long term relationship by now.

you don't have to date someone in the same field. you just have to not fall into the monoculture surrounding software. it's tough to break out of, but easier now that WFH is more of an option.

my partner is a nanny, for instance. we met as housemates and fell in love. we're lesbian, though, so I guess that doesn't really address the gender imbalance issue (or maybe makes it 10x worse for me?)

> there is a perfect match on a SO question, but then the answer is "Actually, you don't want to do that thing you asked about, here is a different solution for your specific scenario".

That describes seemingly every Stack Overflow question I've found in the past four years. SO is basically useless for anything advanced enough to need SO.

That subreddit was started after the acquisition. In fact, every subreddit was, because user created subreddits were paid for by Conde Nast. As was self posts and pretty much every major innovation.

It was after they brought in outside investors that they were pressured to monetize.

We ban you for your wrongdoing, you can't do anything about it and we won't tell you what you did wrong.
Within a release there are no version bumps, only if you live on unstable or switch to a new release you would get them.
The problem of an actual snapshot of your entire system is that you don't really now what should be in there and it collects a lot of cruft/state. With NixOS you can write little modules for services and move those between VM/Machines, whatever floats your boat. IMHO this type of config management sucks less than ansible/chef etc because you are not fighting against the package manager. The configuration holds the ground truth on what is installed on the system.
I miss the Patapon on PSP. A unique game and haven't seen anything like this after.
orrrrr just use the existing bug bounty systems with higher payouts and less arbitrary nature of whether a payout will occur or not, as they already have sorted out liability exemptions and the limit of what the hacker will do.
Yup. I remember in 2005 I was teaching my fellow students a “debugging” course, which was of course not normally part of a curriculum. It basically involved “copy / paste your compiler error into Google and tada.wav, you’ll have mailing lists or Usenet or blog posts about your issues”.

SO changed some of that landscape, but it was mostly a better ExpertsExchange.

Yes. I am looking for list of companies that will stay remote after the pandemic.
Ha, sounds like it hasn't changed much. Fortunately I am also a caveman so that works for me!
let me put it another way; you could apply your analysis to detailed imaging of an apple slice and walk away with the same conclusion. it is fun but oversimplified to the point that it doesn't make any sense even if you squint. the size of the data is proportional to the quality of the image here, not to anything in the brain.

and honestly I don't think you or anyone else is fully aware it's not that simple. brains are.. just so complicated.
Way back in 2011 they did this to me. My marketing agency had been running most of our customer payments through PayPal for several months, and we were growing fast. At some point they took the $50K we had in the account and froze it for 180 days with no recourse, claiming it was to protect against charge backs (despite us never having a single chargeback).

I explained to them that if they didn't release the funds they would most certainly have charge backs because we'd be out of business and thus unable to deliver on the work promised for the money.

Nothing we said did any good. That is until I looked up the laws in Washington State about money transmitters. Turns out based on the specific license they had in Washington State at the time, it was illegal for them to hold funds for longer than 7 days.

Me telling them this did nothing at all, but when I sent a letter to my state governor explaining my predicament and someone from that office sent a letter to the folks at PayPal, suddenly my funds were released and a note was placed on my account to never withhold funds on that account ever again. Been smooth sailing ever since :-D
Blockchain forensics are already used for tracking transactions and these will get more advanced over time. I think saying "risk-free" is a big stretch. Yes, this is made possible with cryptocurrency, the transactions are irreversible and are not controlled by a central authority (generally). However, many blockchains are also public ledgers, and you have to also figure in fiat gateways if the attackers don't just want to keep the money in cryptocurrency.

Fireeye Selling Its Products Business and Name for $1.2B
Not just the US. A lot of countries care. Western Europe (not sure about the east) does as well and will do something even if they aren't as violent as the US. (In fact they are probably going to claim the moral high ground of not assassinating people only because they give evidence to the US and look the other way). South America, South Asia, and Africa will all have at least some helping out, though it isn't clear who will do what.

Most of the blame is going to Russia, though North Korea is a possible source of this, as are a few random countries scattered around. Most stand to lose more than they gain from allowing such crime. (their military might be interested in the ability, but those will be more careful about who they target)

L.A. turbo-charged subway, rail construction during pandemic
As a front-end engineer I don't feel any pressure to justify my job. The issue of "constantly changing things" tends to be completely out of our hands, so work is pretty abundant.

That said, I agree with you in principal. In this field I feel like I'm constantly fighting to keep the code simple and lean, while others think it's okay to import an entire bloated library just to make a button shine a certain way.
