In general, how do control mounting - the fact that I plugged a USB device into a shared computer doesn't mean anyone should be able to mount it. Root allows me to trust one person, rootless seems to require me to trust everyone?

Also, the major threats to my security from my laptop are not other users. I'm not scared of the other users of my laptop. Who even are they? they're people who've already taken advantage of security holes in applications to break in. The people who I am concerned with are the authors of the applications that run. It's more like reading the file I want to publish vs data exfiltration: I want the application to engage in this class of actions - but only the members of this class that I authorise, not everything.

I want Firefox to be able to read and write within my home directory, but under no circumstances should a bug in Firefox allow a website to read a file I haven't given it.

But I also don't want my private file to be somehow in the private namespace of a certain program. Private files are not the property of a foreign program, they're my property. I want to know where they are so I can back them up, replace them atomically for all programs that use it etc. The Android approach of making my private information the property of some semi-trusted application author is crazy.

To me, it seems like a secure system would not give a program access to global namespaces like the filesystem nor to be able to enumerate local resources. The program could have its own state and configuration stores, but when it wants to access a file, it asks for permission to read a file, the system asks me how to fulfil that (i.e. pops up a file selection interface), I make a choice, the system passes a file descriptor, the program knows that it uses 7 to read and write. But the system doesn't know that it's getting /home/me/downloads/ketchup-and-mayo.jpg. Likewise, the system asks for my location, and I get a few buttons "give current location, give stored location, spoof".

Does plan9 address this? Android I know is too course-grained. It has enough of this to be annoying but in reality you can either give the program full power over this or that feature or you can give it no power and it probably just won't meaningfully run. I'd love to run every program in a sandbox, but I want to be able to own my files.
Rust simply has two types (HashMap and BtreeMap). And you can pick whichever you prefer.
I admittedly don't really understand this in depth but it has seemed to me that there's a need for some general purpose decentralized signature or authentication mechanism. I can see NFTs functioning in that kind of way although I'm not sure the current implementations are the best ones nor has the hype bubble necessarily been focused on best use cases. I wouldn't be surprised if NFTs evolved into something far more mundane, a historical footnote on the way to something else.
One thing to watch out for, when using container scanning tools, is how they handle "unfixed" vulnerabilities in images based on Debian/Ubuntu.

Both those distros maintain a list of CVEs that they know of but don't have a patch for. Traditional VA tools (e.g. Nessus) default to not flagging those, but a lot of container scanning tools will default to showing them, so you end up seeing wildly different results. (some more details https://raesene.github.io/blog/2020/11/22/When_Is_A_Vulnerab...)

Whether you consider this a problem is ofc, dependent on your threat model, but it's one to consider.

On the one hand, we cannot assume that animal expressions have any relation to similar expressions in humans. See for example how the misunderstanding of facial expressions between great apes and humans (in both directions) has often lead to violence, and they're our closest relatives.

However, I have a pet* theory that the long evolutionary history of dogs with humans has little by little made their facial expressions converge towards reasonable approximations of human expressions. Which of the ancestors of modern dogs were more likely to survive in the company of humans: those whose expression looked human-happy when the dog was feeling a positive canine emotion? Or those whose expression looked human-happy when they were feeling aggressive, fearful, disappointed, etc?

* No pun intended
> I believe working in the office is a competitive advantage.

For the company, probably; not for me. All the bullet point you mentioned: none of them applies to me. It’s interesting to see different points of view, though.
Thanks :-) I like especially the pico-8, as it's fairly easy to write an emulator for that, as far as I understand.

All the very specific code errors I google have very relevant results but everything more generic is filled with useless marketing junk nowadays.

I notice this effect getting worse every year as well, only the ultra specific queries are still usable nowadays, everything else in the middle got spammed and the results are worthless.
As if Wikipedia never shoves banners in your face. I'd rather have the stackoverflow model than the Wikipedia one. As for collaborative, try the edit button on any question or answer. It's already a wiki. If you have enough karma, you can put your words in anyone's mouth; if not, it gets into a review queue. I'm one of the people with enough karma to process that queue, there is very very little abuse actually. You can even submit anonymously, on Wikipedia your IP is then published but on SO I just see "anonymous user". Again, stackoverflow already has the better model. Finally I'd like to add one point to the two comparison points you already mentioned: the Wikipedia syntax is one of a kind, weird and you need to learn it specifically for Wikipedia (and other MediaWikis, but they're not that common that everyone already knows it). Stackoverflow just uses markdown, which as a developer is not something you won't already partially know. Let's not turn it into Wikipedia.
> Hiring managers are DESPERATE For people. And they will beg barter and steal for hires, and try to convince bar raisers to lower the bar to get people in.

You just described something that comes very close to "hire to fire".

I've been in Amazon for long enough to see the hiring bar float up and down a lot, with big differences based on the team and the country.

Once you put together URA and the staggering attrition rate that exists in many high-pressure teams the managers are left with only two options:

A) Hire very skilled and productive engineers and then find ways to push them out of the company later on B) Let the bar slip sometimes and keep the good engineers for a bit longer

By all means, "A" happens far more frequently than "B" and, in many ways, it's even worse.
Adding mine "Rant HN: Why I hate modern Google Search, a perfect example"

Coincidentally it was 3 months ago so it fits the OP's general time estimate although the degradation has been happening for years

Not only just the aspect I ranted about, but also the fact there's a bunch of low-quality code web scrapers that are showing up on the first page of results. These garbage websites literally just copy and paste the contents of sites like Stack Overflow or GitHub, and the domain is always different, and the formatting gives a low quality impression as well. My search term in quotes are not even on the page half the time.

Please excuse my tone, but why the fuck does modern software have to keep getting shitty all the god damn time? Can engineers please start focusing on software that works incredibly well, and keep it that way? I know they exist, but it seems like it's getting rarer and rarer. Is it REALLY that hard to have software that works for a historically long time and just avoid steering it into crap? Maybe it justifies the salaries, who knows?

I'm getting so sick of this churn cycle

I read both the book and this review, and while the review makes some valid points, it also holds the book to a pretty high bar.

Usually I'm all for doing exactly that, but this book is not about hard scientific proof for some fancy new theory. It's about an idea, the idea that humans are good by default. To be taken seriously as an idea, it only needs as much proof as the idea it's rejecting, which is that humans are a razor thin layer of civility over evil, savage animals.

It's about debunking that as much as it is about proposing an alternative. I think Bregman is perfectly happy to leave the hard science for the scientists. If readers agree that his idea is at least as plausible as the one he's up against, he's done pretty well. And to my reading, even this review agrees with that.
A new dimension in the quest to understand dark matter
Are you sure that all bar raisers are as stringent as you are? Are they all as steeped in the Amazon culture as you are? Is a favour from these managers not worth anything? Sympathy for a guy given "unreasonable" goals he can't complete without more team members, questionable as they may be?

As your answer depends on the people in this adversarial hiring system standing their ground rather than finding common ground. Even in companies far less bruising than Amazon, there is reason to cheat.

And add that to the desperation for bodies and you have a massive reason to find some way to hack the system.

The cynic within me wants to know how diversity initiatives interact with hire-to-fire practices that protect valuable team members from churn. The former eschews meritocracy in favor of alternative hiring criteria; the later protects meritocracy by sham hires that will be shed like ablative armor to protect the core team members.
1000% this.

I’ve seen it happen with excel, access sql-server; and RPA. Some some Frankenstein’s monster is cobbled together to solve a problem whose best solution would be “stop producing the report that nobody looks at” only to have it slowly decay out of orbit.

The other major flaw with RPA is non-engineering LOB employees (in my experience) are incredibly myopic and implement solutions to get shit done now without thought about future consequences of their decisions. They try to replicate the 800 steps they take to make something work instead of asking “more steps adds opportunity for failure; what is the minimum I need to do to reach goal”.

No offence taken! It's not so much the coordination but that I just don't care about playing. My sense of being entertained is different than what computer game play provides, so I don't put any effort into learning the moves. So in relation to the topic here, it's nice if I can hang out with friends who love games while I don't need to invest effort to join in on occasion, as I could get quite a lot out of copilot mode.
This is my experience. Hicentnunc (and the tezos community at large) is the closest I've felt to 00s internet culture/content which got me hooked on programming.

Well I am not sure if it is the case in the long run. In the last century, furniture used to be robust enough to last decades, and could therefore be given for reuse by your descendants or acquaintances. Ikea furniture tends to breakdown much faster.
> In addition to sites such as those listed, Universities often provide institution-level data hosting.

(For those that haven't spotted it, these are permitted under 'Generalist repositories')

> An advantage is that there are local people who can help the researchers with the process, e.g. in setting up useful metadata and so forth.

I helped set up such a service nearly 10 years ago, and still help run it. There undoubtedly are advantages to depositing with us for the reasons you mention, plus we permit far larger publications than most services (our largest are around 1TB).

However we are a large, general university, and so have to deal with deposits ranging from theology related images to CT scans of fossils specimens to synthetic chemistry data. And all points in between.

Being general limits our capacity for detailed help concerning metadata and format standards for researchers since we just don't have enough data librarians with these specialisms. So my advice is to use a community established repository where available (UK Data Archive is a good example).

You are right about people just dumping data. Since 2015 (iirc) researchers have been expected by funders and publishers to plan their data storage and make it available ultimately. That doesn't necessarily lead to quality publications, though our reviewers try their best.

To paraphrase a researcher "I intend to give this process the minimum required". (This is not a typical response, happily)

"Innate local response and tissue recovery following application of high density microarray patches to human skin"

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-75169-4

That is a paper about the patch. It's an array of 3,000 micro-needles. The needles are coated with dry vaccine. The needles destroy many cells during application, which increases the body's immune response and uptake of the vaccine.

The dry vaccines do not spoil as easily as the liquid ones. I recall seeing injections of dry medicine powder many years ago in rural West Africa. The nurse first used a sterile syringe to draw sterile water from a vial, injected it into a new medicine vial, withdrew the syringe, shook the vial and let it sit for a minute, and then drew the liquid medicine suspension and injected it into the patient.

Are any injectable covid vaccines distributed as dry powder?
Is Google search getting worse or are spammers playing SEO better?
I mean NFTs fit that bill perfectly. Incentives for the late comers are to buy continually more dubious tokens that are produced by the initial round of creators. Those buyers then create a new market of lower tier creators who create even more valueless creations, and so the cycle continues.

Crypto without NFTs have no creators and instead relies on the network effect of public interest to raise the value of their initial purchase. In this way, it's more akin to inventing a product and selling it on to another person and promising them that it will be worth more if they do the same.
See my reference to my "Rant HN" thread elsewhere in this thread because I couldn't disagree with you more. The more specific my code searches get, the worse the experience becomes. I put in a literal quoted phrase and Google doesn't have the decency to just tell me there are no results, it has to waste my time too by returning pages that don't have ANY of the keywords in the quoted phrase. What kind of search engine is that?
Bolt6 | UK/EU Remote (UTC to UTC+2) | Full-Time | C++ Computer Vision & Deep Learning Engineers

We are a funded sports technology start-up founded by industry veterans that is looking to expand our engineering team to take on exciting new projects. We use computer vision (both classical and deep learning) to extract data from raw camera feeds that is then provided to our customers (think sports leagues and broadcasters). We've built a diverse and robust tech stack that can achieve this in real-time.

Our tech stack is mainly C++ with Python for scripting and training deep learning models (PyTorch). We use Docker, Kubernetes and AWS to deploy our apps.

Our hiring process consists of an interview with our CEO and our Tech Director talking through your experience and suitability for the work we do. A keen interest in sports is not a requirement for a successful application.

We are fully remote at the moment but hope to open an office in Winchester in the near future (COVID-19 permitting) and eventually one in London.

If solving challenging problems with state-of-the-art tech sounds like something you'd enjoy or would like to know more about what we do then please email sams@bolt6.ai (and please include a CV if applying).
>but there I still think using the keyboard for motion is more efficient once you build up the muscle memory for it.

I think a lot of people underestimate how fast a good trackpad can be with practice. I can move the pointer to an arbitrary location on screen in less time than it typically takes me to make a key chord. However long and hard I might train on Vim (and I did use it for ~10 years!) there's a hard limit on how much time that could save me when the trackpad is already so damn fast.
This. I work because I need the money. Period. I love my craft and I practice it every day on my own terms and as little or as much as I want... but offering my skills to others just happens because I get paid.

A less cringy demonstration of Google's problems with monetizing searchies are greek letters.

If you search for delta you have to sift through delta airlines and delta stores before you can read about the letter or the geographic feature.

Same for finding images of the letter iota, no, just a page full of some cryptocoin's logo.

I tie this trend to the recent announcements that free storage for gmail, google photos and drive, is ending. Google offers services that have a recurring cost for free, as time goes by this cost scales linearly, so the pressure to monetize other assets increases every year.
You could put DNS in a distributed database (a la blockchain), and there's a benefit there (although no more than insisting all DNS updates are signed, I think). I can't see what additional benefit NFT would offer over that?

I'm sure all the US carriers are accounted by China 24x7 already! :D

+ if I had to bet, then I'd bet that modern submarines, smart mines & rockets can take out any carrier, ship or whatever, it's just that no one has done it yet for obvious reason of not starting a new WW. It's stealth & speed that gives an edge these days, instead of displaying big, slow chunks of metal in a middle of big swaths of water + even 1 "missed" rocket can make the any ship incapacitated or sunk.. & now imagine 100 hypersonic missiles launched as a swarm.

Imo carriers and ships in general are the "battleships of WW2" (considered supreme, failed miserably). Yes, still works against small countries, with limited capabilities and as a "display of power", yet practically I'd assume they'd be sunk during the first days of a REAL full scale conflict. One should never forget the level of technology during WW2 compared to these days.

ps. it's interesting that China is always considered agreesor, though it's the US that's been involved (directly & indirectly) in most of the wars of the 19th, 20th & 21st century + is the TOP1 seller of the weaponry in the world as of today.
