People like the psychic pleasure of browsing and collecting and making recommendations and having taste. They like buying too, but that takes place on Amazon, where that daily gratification is only $10. It’s not important that you buy the jacket.

I would be curious to know if anyone has audited this for malicious code, or how one would go about doing that in the first place. Is that kind of software auditing a use case for Ghidra? A demo of using Ghidra to audit Ghidra would be interesting I suppose.

Show HN: Raspberry Pi WiFi password updater (with QR code)
It's not perfect, but this was a project of mine that I create a while back to share guest wifi with friends who come over and visit. Long story short, a QR code allows a guest to log into wifi. The QR code and password are changed weekly via a cron job, and the whole thing runs on a Raspberry Pi nano.

This setup would only work out-of-the-box on a Ubiquity network as that's what I have, but I tried to document the basic steps it would take if an interested party wanted to replicate this on other hardware. I hope you enjoy!

Note: I don't intend to steal any thunder from the [recent Show HN](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27803146) where a website was created to turn a wifi password to a QR code; I think it's a great project! I just never thought anyone would be interested in this until I saw all the comments on it so now I'd like to share my version :)
Feel the nitro punch of acceleration.
It might not be dishonesty or disingenuousness, it might be simple gullibility. The same person posted a link designed to fool gullible people and then proceeded to demonstrate that he had indeed been fooled by it:

https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/5-fast-facts-about-spent-...

He claimed, with this link as backing, that all nuclear waste would fit in a small space, when in fact the link overlooks the vast majority of nuclear waste and considers only a minuscule though important subset, the spent fuel. We don’t even know if the source article is playing more tricks with words, but the mistake with gullibility here is already bad enough.

To give some credit where (malicious) credit is due, I do believe that the creators of the web page may have been striving for the goal of fooling such gullible people in exactly this way on exactly this matter. While technically honest, the site is dishonest and disingenuous in spirit, because it’s promoting such a misunderstanding, with a clear agenda and a not-so-innocent reason for doing so.
Thanks for taking the time to read the details. I am always skeptical when I see "Study finds...".
This whole thread started with me asking for evidence to support an alternative hypothesis given that there is a perfectly simple and obvious theory available. Nobody provided such evidence.

People intentionally or unintentionally hear what they want to hear all the time, especially on these kinds of issues. It's sometimes called a straw man argument, although in this case nobody even bothered to argue against the straw man after erecting it.

Yes. Few cases. So far.
Well, the truth is there is very little you or any manager (other exec) can do to change the situation. In general, this will only change through failures getting the attention of the investors and/or board who can effect change in the CEO. If the CEO is as egotistical as you say there is no way the CEO will take advice from anyone about getting mentoring and changing their behavior. Of course, if the CEO has enough failures and starts seeing the errs of the current ways (best case), then it is still possible it gets fixed.

I have seen this when I was a consultant for many companies and startups. The common trend is the companies would work for some period of time because of the good people around the CEO making it work. The reality is all that does is delay the CEO's failure and makes them think they are doing it right. Eventually though, people leave, new people come in and the amount of time they spend trying to fix things gets less and less to the point the company can't tread water and the cracks begin to get too big to stick a finger in.

BTW -- I've seen this with good CEO's too who were too passive. Typically there would be an exec or manager that was destroying the business and the CEO was too hands off/passive, so it isn't just a CEO that can cause this kind of damage.

My 2 cents, find a new place to work as there is little you can do to change the situation in the role you have. If you want to try and help fix it, find a high visibility project or issue to recommend/bring in a skilled & respected consultant who has direct interaction with the CEO, board or investor(s). It may still blow up, but the consultant can say things and push in ways employees can't, and if they have interaction with the board or a relationship with an investor they can backchannel pressure in ways you could never do (easily/safely) as an employee.
It's funny how people never learn. There are 2000+ year old texts complaining about how youth's "inability" to obey their parents, and wearing Toga's "halfway" (whatever that means), will destroy the future of everyone.
Though I believe you're correct, this is not a problem inherent to web development. There's absolutely nothing stopping you from pinning things to specific versions other than the fact that projects couple security updates with breaking feature additions.
Premium names aren't squatted but designated as such by the central registry. For the TLDs .ac, .io, and .sh those are previously unavailable short domains that are now released to public and auctioned by Divido, the company that has set up the site you see.
I don’t align with your view, let me share my view.

The GitHub web hooks (which is basically REST) post a deeply nested json full of nodes (that you “might need”) which I don’t need, and lacking info I do need (ended up having to do another round trip to GQL after receiving the bloated web hook payload)

I have seen suboptimal APIs on both technologies.

If you don’t have control over the API, it doesn’t matter if it uses SQL, so following your logic the issue seems to be that you cannot change the API, not the tech it uses.
I haven't had any complaints (yet) if I gently push the conversation towards business with a response to the initial pleasantries followed by "What's up?", "What's cracking?", "What's going on?" etc.

Them: Hey!

Me: Hey, what's up?

Them: How is your morning going?

Me: Pretty good, yourself? Working on X, had a relaxing weekend. What's going on?

Them: Yeah, good. [back to business]

> I think asking for feelings of burnout exaggerates the issue of being burnt out by a huge factor.

I kind of see where you are coming from, but I think this is an important question to ask. Asking someone's opinion on something is a REALLY good indicator of their opinion on that thing: do you hate your job, do you like chocolate, do you love your wife, etc.

While the question "are you burned out" might not predict attrition as well as other questions and it might not be "scientifically assailable" - it still does tell us something about the person.

At work, I frequently ask my team (individually), "do you feel burned out", but I ALSO ask other questions "do you feel like you are doing good work", "do you enjoy what your are doing", "do you like the people you work with", "am I a good manager (a notoriously BAD question)".

These and others help me keep a pulse on my team and what is going on in their head.
IIRC during the first months of the pandemic most deaths showed a pattern where, from onset of symptoms, the disease would be unpleasant for ~7 days then the patient would seem to recover, and then suddenly worsen around day 10-14. New cases were typically detected around onset of symptoms, so I'd guess that's where we get the general assumption that deaths will trail new cases by 2 weeks.

I'd be curious whether we're detecting noticeably earlier than symptoms now, in countries like Australia with very proactive testing and contact tracing.
This is simply a consequence of all goods being available to anyone free of charge.
You're not understanding what I am saying. Also the US Air Force is explicitly not involved in the latest disclosure regarding UAPs, so I suspect you're not fully up to date on everything.

My point is that if a theoretical model for a warp drive emerges that provides falsifiable hypotheses in terms of what an external observer ought to see, this could be a useful tool for scientists to use if/when they are given the underlying UAP data I expect to see the government hand over the next 12-18 months.

The threshold I am referring to is when the theory becomes cohesive enough to provide such a tool for being able to generate such explanations, as opposed to the threshold where it could lead to actual applied physics.
That's because events such as these (and subsequently the comics code authority) made it legally and financially nonviable to do anything but spandex comics for kids. Before that, the contents of comics was as varied as the films and pulp fiction of the time. Imagine if during the time of the Hays Code people were burning celluloid in the streets (look up public comic book burnings) and as a reaction studios made nothing but Laurel and Hardy and Ma and Pa Kettle films and it wasn't until the 80s that any kind of adult film-making re-emerged in the mainstream in any substantial way.
Immediacy and individual actionability are also important factors in the difference between people's reaction to those two situations. COVID can kill you within days and you can wear a mask today to do something about it. Pollution might take 20 years and if you don't emit any pollution there's a billion other people around you that will.

"There's nothing I can do about it" is what many might say.

If it's difficult to envision yourself without work, then you probably put too much of your identity into your work. Maybe that's not a bad thing if you truly love your job, but for most of us that is a huge mistake.

Finding passions outside of work and approaching ideas as a child would is the simplest way to phrase the solution. As a child everything is new and exciting, it's easy to entertain yourself (quite cheaply too), there is less aversion to doing new things than someone who has spent decades being conditioned via a familiar and habitual routine.
Yeah, teachers benefit from a social cachet that is outsize related to their true efficacy.

Honestly as somebody not working in software development these posts seem ridiculous to me. The pay is great, the physical work environment is good, if you work for a FANG company you might get free food, access to a corporate gym, and other amenities.

Can somebody give example of another job that is better?

I do agree though that America's work culture is bad as a whole and does not afford sufficient work life balance in most jobs. But SWE have one of the best jobs out there, it seems from somebody looking in on the outside. There is a huge lack of understanding what other people do for work. Many jobs are much harder than an Amazon pick and pack position. I bring that up because Amazon is frequently mentioned as a bad employer here. See for example junior investment banker working 80 hours a week making power point decks for tight deadlines.
I’m guilty of posting before reading the article. I’m glad you pointed this out. Sounds like an awful study.

There’s true burnout and then there’s feelings of stress. They aren’t the same thing at all. I know because I’ve experienced both. Burnout cuts you down to your soul. I haven’t programmed professionally in 2 years and the thought of doing so makes me nauseous. That’s burnout.
That post was incredible. Really rare and refreshing to find that level of honesty on the internet nowadays (even when pseudonymous), sadly. Reflected a lot of thoughts I had about potential downsides to FIRE.
Best way to lose weight IMO is to restrict eating to an 8 hour (or less) window, eliminate carbs (sugar, bread, grains, beans, potatoes) and reduce fat intake so your body has to burn the fat you already have. After you have lost the weight, increase fat intake to get enough calories. You can go back to carbs after losing weight, but be mindful that they will cause insulin fluctuations that might give you cravings. If you can't manage the cravings, cut back again on the carbs.
We should have schools for future Elons, not future Trump's.
It might also be applicants recognize that its not a healthy place to work -- interns staying up all night to fix production errors is a red flag. Then the problem is a bit self re-enforcing, and the only solution is to reset expectations and deliverables to maintain a healthy pace of work. If that pace is not possible, and the company can't offer competitive compensation for the scenario (ex: "We're asking you to carry the company, so here's some extra meaningful equity") then its in a downard spiral and its merely people abandoning a sinking ship.
The whole deeply-seated protestant belief that work ethic instills value in life always escapes me as well. There are so many things I'd love to do that don't even require a lot of financial resources or resources in general to accomplish beyond time, but unfortunately, due to needs like having a home and food, I have to work quite a bit and just can't find the time to do these things in those gaps.

I understand the bordem argument but I think that sort of boredom is socially conditioned on us. During my time at university I worked almost constantly. I remember after graduating and getting a job only working 8-hours a day, I suddenly found myself with excess fee time I didn't know what to do with. I distinctively remember my first day returning from work, that I got home and was lost: what do I want to do (not what do I need to do or should do)? I have no papers or assignments due tomorrow. No major project efforts weeks behind I'm trying to catch up on, no looming deadlines, no new tech I need to learn to be ready for the next job, etc.

I came to the realization that I was bored and didn't know what to do because I was conditioned to be constantly busy working, largely for other people and not myself --from my parents, church, schooling, society, and so on. A goal can be for yourself but often the processes to attain said goals are for other people. I chose to do certain aspects because they were interesting but it was more so because I needed to, had to or should do to get to my goal.

I believe most people don't need work to find value in life, they need the time to discover what it is they value, the basic resources to pursue it, and ability to live decently while doing it. Unfortunately, we have an economic system that doesn't really allow for that. There is some choice in our economic system but for many, that choice is an illusion or at best, heavily constrained.

I believe we need to move away from this work tied to life value concept, but I believe too many people currently rely on exploiting this concept to have others create value for themselves while constantly selling the idea of work giving purpose in life so they can pursue their goals without working. The issue isn't that work exists and is needed to maintain certain structure to society, it's more that it's used as shackles on many.

As far as I understand, and I don't understand much. Also I am not endorsing vanden Bossche because I don't understand much. Furthermore, just as everyone else, he is just trying to sell his vaccine over others'.

The issue is selective pressure. Yes, the virus will mutate. But under an mRNA vaccine, only the spike protein needs to mutate for the vaccine to be render useless. In other words: mutating the spike protein will give the virus access to very broad unimmunized population.

Up to that it makes perfect sense to me and my limited evolutionary knowledge. I can't tell wether is right or wrong. But it makes sense.

He goes further saying that antibodies from vaccines are more affine to the virus, even with mutated spike protein, this compromises the natural immune system, given it will try to fight off infection with useless vaccine-learnt antibodies rather than with natural antibodies. This will make the virus more deadly.

This seems off to me. I can't see the logic, but I will be happy to be corrected. How can something be ignored by the virus and be more affine to it?

Again, he says that all these issues are solved with his vaccine, once he finishes it.
The background reasons for not wanting to get vaccinated are not medically indicated. Unless you have a PEG allergy (which means you need to get Janssen instead of Pfoderna) the CDC has zero contraindications for the vaccine.

If somebody doesn't want the vaccine, that's on them. I have family members who won't get vaccinated and will give you a shopping list of reasons why they "can't". They're all bullshit.
There's another reply to GP that illustrates this. "I prefer first-party content so I can effortlessly scroll"; It's a real shame, people like that turned Reddit into a politically manipulated 9gag where they waste hours scrolling through mind-numbing content. Self-posts? No. Links? No. Just funny images, or videos with obnoxious music stolen from TikTok, with a side of ads please.

I dread the moment when they remove old.reddit.com, but I guess it'll finally make me leave because there's absolutely 0 chance I will be using the new interface.

Also, this whole SaveVideo issue is laughable, most of the content on Reddit is already stolen from other sources.

Reasons to Use Nuxt in 2021
Canada is, and for a little while has been, being sold out from under the feet of Canadians. Just recently the head of the CRTC (Canada's broadcast regulatory body) came under fire for having drinks at a pub with executives from some Canadian telecom companies, just weeks before some regulations that heavily favored them were released.

The major reason for the prices is the federally enforced monopoly that Canadian telecom companies have in Canada. It's effectively illegal for foreign telecom companies to do business in Canada, which results in a market where prices are high, and rather similar across the board. In other-words: we're seeing classic monopoly economics happen thanks to regulation specifically designed to enable monopolies.

The CRTC is frequently criticized as being an unelected and unaccountable agency. What's making things more difficult for Canadians too is the current administration's approach to the CRTC, which has been to vastly expand their power as an agency. That, and frequent back-tracking on regulatory decisions which are unpopular with the telecom companies, but popular with the Canadian people.
