Exactly. And if somebody wants to complain about a process methodology not working because management at their company is stupid or a bunch of assholes: nothing fixes that.

90% of the time the cure for needing to do "undercover" work is explaining that it is needed to accomplish what the company expects to get out of a task. It often happens that incorrect assumptions get embedded in a plan, and an engineer is asked to do X on the assumption that doing X will also accomplish Z, and they think, "Ugh, they want me to do X but they won't give me time to do Y and Z, what the fuck do I do, Z isn't going to get done and then it will be my fault because I was tasked to do X and they think that's the same thing." Just communicate: "I think what is expected is that if we do X then Z will also be accomplished. In this case, doing X won't accomplish Z. We will also need to do Y and Z, which is additional work."

Then if they say, "Just do X," you don't have to fret about Y and Z, because you have set expectations appropriately. In a dysfunctional environment, where the scrum master or project manager is mechanically executing a process without knowing what any of it means, you may need to escalate or reach out beyond the team to find somebody who appreciates your warning that X will not accomplish Z.

Of course there may be no such person, but in that case, no process will save you.

I've even seen this used effectively to talk about technical debt. "Look, I think the assumption in management is that we're making progress on moving away from the legacy services and deprecating our old auth solution, but in fact, if we do this we will be making ourselves even more dependent on the legacy services, and we'll be adding new public APIs that can't be properly secured. I just want to be sure that [manager's name] is aware that that is how we're shaving a month off this plan." Needle scratch, management wasn't aware that there was any downside to the expedited plan that project management had squeezed out of the engineers, because project management did not understand the language of technical debt. It was all engineer blah blah to them, and it didn't occur to them that management needed to hear it.
Hmm, I think 300mb is a lot...
There is another way it hurts homeowners: the high cost of housing increases the cost of upgrading and maintaining the home you own, mostly via the construction labor market - because the workers need to pay for the roofs over their heads too.

Therefore, just keeping the depreciation of your house at bay ends up becoming expensive. If you are lucky enough to enjoy DIY work like I do, you can avoid this somewhat, but the moment you need to do any major renovation that you don't have the time and skills to do yourself, it costs about the same as a purchase.
If you own the frontend and the database, sure. But this product hits other people's databases. The only way they can optimize this is by making queries it thinks the user might want. They can't cache the response because they have no way of knowing if it changed, since again, they don't control the data source.

If I owned the database they were getting data from, I'd be mighty upset at the insane amount of useless queries they'd have to make guessing what the user wants.

That sounds truly decentralized. /s
In your example, the bid is 350K and the ask is 250K; this is not like a bid-ask spread in a regulated market, in which the bid is by definition lower than the ask, and any bids that exceed the ask take the ask off the books at exactly the ask price.

What you are describing is more like arbitrage, and it creates no value, but instead exploits inefficient markets, disparate regulatory environments, or unequal access to markets.

That sounds exactly like dysautonomia (autonomic nervous system dysfunction/disorder), and specifically POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome).

I have a rare form of dysautonomia. It is a very rare immune-mediated neurological disease affecting my peripheral nervous system, called autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy. It is in pharmaceutical remission, which means that it hopefully stays in remission, as long as I take medicine for it, for life.

Anyways, I can help you out with all of this, and really show you the way. I literally have all of the above symptoms. Check out my profile for my email. I will respond to you with advice.

You may want to start here: DYNA (Dysautonomia Youth Network of America) is an awesome organization, and they have a phone line that they answer during the day. You may want to call them first for advice. Adults call the line all the time. I mean, I am a member of it, and participate there regularly, and I am in my early 30s. Anyways, the DYNA office phone number is: 301-705-6995

I strongly encourage you to call them. Also, please contact me. I also promise that I will help you.

There is now a special board certification/subspecialty in neurology in the United States for Autonomic Disorders (my neurologist has this board subspecialty certification also has an autonomic disorder--so I am tremendously lucky to have him). A handful (about 50) doctors in the US are certified in this subspecialty. But, you really need to get an EMG test, since you are having sensory issues. A neurologist does this test. You really need to be seeing a neurologist regularly if you are having these types of symptoms.

Anyways, to find a neurologist with the Autonomic Disorders subspecialty (you need, at minimum, both a neurologist [most important] and a cardiologist/electrophysiologist who deals with autonomic disorders regularly) go to this website: https://www.ucns.org/Online/Online/Diplomate_Directory.aspx

Under "Please choose a subspecialty" (drop-down menu), select "Autonomic Disorders" and press the blue button "Find"

If you want to get better and stay healthy: do not go to Reddit/Social Media/etc. It is a really toxic place with respect to this illness. People on there are extremely dramatic. Also, avoid the organization Dysautonomia International. The people who run it (primarily women--and I am female myself) are drama queens. They also post inaccurate information on their official Facebook feeds all the time. Also, don't read stuff posted to random blogs. Content that is not moderated about dysautonomia tends to really get wild and can be quite harmful. Trust me on this. If you want to get better with this illness, you have to be careful about what you expose yourself to on the internet.

I hope this helps and I hope to hear from you.
Presumably AppLocker is implemented in kernel mode because Microsoft realized that doing the whitelisting in user mode was more fraught with potential escapes. The kernel / user security boundary was one they were already defending (and leveraging hardware functionality in processor privilege levels) so creating a new pseudo-security boundary to defend in user mode was a bad idea.

Application-level permissions that aren't enforced by hardware seem like a losing proposition to me. I get that a belt-and-suspenders approach isn't unreasonable, so I guess it's not valueless, but I wouldn't have it as my only line of defense.
It's certainly sad. I guess you could call it strange, but not entirely unexpected given how proud many are about being uneducated.
It sounds like you agree that there is a "bad amount" of skepticism but no way to measure that either?

Then it is as easy for me to say you have fallen into the trap of being overly skeptical but are using an excuse to shield yourself from people that would call you a raving nutter.

I don't worry too much about finding a way to measure what a "good amount" of skepticism is. Like pornography, I know it when I see, er, smell it.

> states that money not tracked by the government is illegal.

And forgery laws state that you can't draw whatever you want on pieces of paper.

What a law states has nothing to do with its importance.

Many other laws (involving crimes that are very far from "white collar") are extremely difficult to enforce without the ability to trace money.

Money laundering is a crime because it enables other more serious crimes, not because of the act itself.
Here is a link to the since-deleted Tweet from the World Economic Forum: https://web.archive.org/web/20200919112906/https://twitter.c...

They pulled the Tweet, and they pulled the video, but here, you can read the Forbes article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/worldeconomicforum/2016/11/10/s...

Right in that first paragraph: "I don't own a car. I don't own a house." The title is "Welcome To 2030: I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy And Life Has Never Been Better."

Frankly, I don't care if the people noticing this lounge around in period-authentic SS uniforms at night, what's true is true, no matter who picks up on it.

And it's a trend along with the "hey, those bugs, you should try eating them!" articles that are so breathlessly hyped.

Now, it says "You WILL own nothing and you WILL be happy." This wasn't just some rando blogpost, it went through a lot of editorial eyes and hands. Will is very interesting. It's not optional. There's no choice involved.
How to Navigate the 'Great Reset’
> If a person buys high and sells low, taking a loss, they've lost value. Or have they? At the time they made the first transaction, they valued the new asset higher; at the time they made the second one, they valued it lower.

Right, it seemed like a good idea at the time. But they're experiencing regret because an alternate past action (just holding cash, or buying a better performing asset) would have given them more value now.

Of course you can regret any suboptimal action (anything less optimal than buying the best performing asset), but that's not most people's baseline. I think the baseline for most people is holding cash, hence they mostly feel regret when their assets' cash value decreases.

Unless interest rates stay low forever, at some point the asset inflation they cause has to deflate.
It was a social media video put out by some of those "researchers and futurists," namely the World Economic Forum. You can find copies of the original video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aztvWxRKqDQ
The thing that makes this more than just a crackpot futurist's prediction is that the World Economic Forum actually does gather together government and business leaders from around the world and serves as a site for networking among them. This is the sort of networking that Assange called "conspiracy" in his early essays: powerful people exist in connected graphs that allow them, whether well-meaning or conscious of ill intent, to act to prop up authoritarian power structures and repress freedoms. And so you end up with world leaders repeating the World Economic Forum's discourse of a "great reset." Here is Justin Trudeau via Global News explaining how the COVID pandemic provides "an opportunity for a reset" that is primarily economic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2fp0Jeyjvw . Trudeau is an "Agenda Contributor" at the WEF: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/authors/justin-trudeau . So, when the WEF puts out a social media clip claiming that society is changing to replace ownership with rental, a fundamental change to the existing wealth distribution in favor of corporations over individuals, you know that world leaders like Trudeau are heavily involved with those same futurists. That's what separates their predictions from those of, say, Robert X Cringely.

Why SHOULDN'T phones and computers be "infantilized" the same way cars, microwaves, iPods, toasters, electricity outlets, etc. are? They're just another appliance, and 99% of people use their devices for information consumption & entertainment rather than content creation. Regular users shouldn't have to give up ease of use to satisfy developer needs. Android is so fragmented today precisely because Google decided to cater to OEMs instead of users first, and like it or not, the walled gardens ARE a lot safer than Windows/Android, regardless of whether you follow security best practices.

Most users don't need that level of power or customization and it just opens up not only attack vectors but general UX confusion. Hide that sort of thing behind an admin mode or whatever, but otherwise, yes, PLEASE hide dangerous functionality so people aren't exposed to them.

Users aren't asking to be treated like children, they just don't want to have to think about zero-days and layers of config menus because some developer in an ivory tower valued "muh freedoms" too much.

Here I was thinking I was the only one. I have a presence sensor under my desk, when I sit down it triggers the following:

1) Turns on my monitors and desk lamp
2) Turns on the tv in my office
3) Using an hdmi multi plexer sets the hdmi switch to have 4 screens 3-work, 1-with apple tv.
4) Changes a busy light to red outside my office so family knows I'm working

As you say it takes no time to get to work, I was really surprised how automating this helped me get going in the morning because on it's own none of this is terribly time consuming.

But you're right, there do exist such books. I said "almost entirely". I admit I'm limited to the sample I've experienced personally but it's over 90%.

Yeah, no user application should cause a blue screen of death or kernel panic under normal circumstances, unless it is either a bug or they're messing with something from the kernel (but in this last case, you generally need to run the program with high privilege anyway).

I come from the strongly typed world of Pascal... I wasn't thinking about dictionaries, but rather the decision to use a Byte, U32, U64, Real, Single, Double, etc. You could always use the longer, more expensive option for prototyping, then slim it down once you have a better idea of what's needed.

Similar to the way the precision of calculations in neural networks is shaved down for performance, but only as long as the output stays reasonable.

Yet here we are on HN. I learned something from the article.
Right, of course you can use password auth with sftp, but 1) there was no docker at the time (as in the linked repo), 2) lxc itself was very new at the time, in fact, and 3) that project appears to create system users (in the container) which was one thing I was trying to avoid doing, without adding undue complexity (LDAP or whatever). My solution was mature at the time, relied entirely on our existing auth system so there was no need to keep accounts in sync or manage them separately, and didn't cause any complications with permissions for which directories an account could access (if our normal auth system said a user could access ftps for a given project, then they could, and that was it—no messing with Unix permissions and groups or, more likely, Linux ACL-based permissions, and keeping those in sync with the settings on the site)
OK, I’ll judge: You sure enjoy explaining to others how to interact with you and expect everyone to abide by those rules, is my takeaway. Both from how you’ve interacted here across several comments, including being flagged off the site, and your origin story. Contempt when they do not is a strange look for someone doing day job comms for their own work, and it’s also poor form for HN.

Calling someone “butthurt” here used to invoke moderator action, as a direct point, but you’ve wormed your way in to the “can do whatever” club by having a Substack, I guess. It’s ironic how many rules you’re applying to others while overlooking those of this forum as a guest. Your comments are being flagged for a reason.

Also, Christ, it must be extremely tiring painting exact lines for other sapient individuals to follow and arguing with them if they don’t. Why not just roll with how things develop and try to be reasonable as best you can rather than hold the entire commenting public to your demands, which is plainly unsustainable? People are engaging with your work and you seem to be ... annoyed by that?
That has been very common for the last 30 years and AFAIK hasn't slowed down.
If nobody was allowed to park on public land, that could work

Certainly in the UK it's common for people to expect to own an extra 50 square foot of land for a car or two, usually abandoned to block the pavement. This impacts everyone, especially those of us who don't drive.
Which is fine, if you ask me. This app was created for criminal dealings, specifically. It was handed over to them by a criminal. They had an op to specifically distribute the compromised app only to the crime networks.

They didn't take over good-faith services. They didn't try to spy on civilians. They didn't try to blanket-surveil the public.

It was a clever, successful and seemingly by-the-books operation.
I remember a few years back, just before You Might Not Need jQuery became a site, any mention of not needing jQuery would immediately be met with some analogy to writing assembly.

Electrical engineer here. Thermal noise is the same for all resistors with a given R, regardless of their method of manufacture. You cannot have thermal noise either less or more than this, so it's not a Johnson "limit" but rather a definite value. You are correct that there are other sources of noise such as 1/f noise. But more importantly, the manner in which noise manifests in the end result has to do with the circuit as a whole.

For noise critical applications you should do a noise analysis of the circuit as a whole rather than make ad hoc selections of components.
Having a PM to help me stay focused would not be a bad thing when I play Factorio. However, that would probably come bundled with having a PM constantly ask me to half-ass (I mean MVP) three different new projects in the factory in the time it would normally take me to full-ass one project.
The "should write a novel" bit was a joke.

To your broader point, it depends what you want out of the novel. If you want world-building and dialog -- as I pointed out -- you won't get those from the Cliff notes.

I think that's fine, as I don't want them. Or rather, I don't want them as much as I want other things I can spend my time on.

And you're right, I don't read much fiction. The only piece I remember reading all year was The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, a short story by Hemmingway. It was fine.
