I do wonder what 2038 is going to bring since it goes well beyond the IT department. I get the feeling the bill is going to be massive. I'm just glad we finally were able to replace the Windows 95 box running the boilers.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. Might be worth doing a Show HN for Archivy ?
I would agree with that, and then fine AirBnB itself whenever anyone breaks the rules. That'll get them to take it seriously as well. I definitely see nothing wrong with you renting out your house while gone on vacation. The issue I have is when people buy a house and take it off the market to rent it out to short term leasers.
you argue that electricity will become clean depending on where I live (pretty much clean for 5% countries on earth that are full nuclear or small countries as of today) which is probably true if everyone goes full electric and in 50 years but yet say I am childish for saying that once infrastructures will be there for hydrogen it will be way cleaner than electric... "a 1,000-pound electric-car battery requires the extraction and processing of some 500,000 pounds of materials. “Averaged over a battery’s life, each mile of driving an electric car ‘consumes’ five pounds of earth.” By contrast, an internal combustion engine consumes about 0.2 pounds of liquids per mile.",

Why do I have the feeling that a static site wouldn't have been slashdotted?

I can't comment on their opinions because all i get is a pretty loading animation...
Let me present an axiom of software engineering: "The effort (cost) to fix a software defect is proportional to the time between defect's introduction and discovery".

Please note, that the axiom does not say "100x more", it says that cost increases (usually; it may even decrease, why not? consider a bug in ransomware that prevents it from encrypting files properly). The concrete cost may be 1.5x, 10x or 1Mx, it all depends on the circumstances.

And here's a pretty picture from the research paper on the subject: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Cost-of-Fixing-a-Defect-...
What population?

What if less woman want to be engineers?

Does that mean less qualified woman get jobs that based on merit alone rightfully are deserved by men?

What about Asians? They're over represented in engineering roles, should we stop hiring them and hire more white males to "even it out"? Or is it because they're a minority it's ok to have over representation? Do you realise that makes white people under represented? Do you just not care because they have privilege and this evens it out?

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing woman in tech, I'm aware of the history of toxic behavior that prevents them from joining and pushed them out in the 70s and I do encourage initiatives to improve their representation but I draw the line at negative discrimination, that Marxist crap does nobody any good ever.
I remember how most were sure it was an islamistic assault.
In the aftermath the press gave him to much room with pictures of him and citations from his "manifest".

Even the attacker of the Christchurch mosque massacre referenced him.

Ban his name and pictures, remember his victims instead.
No, that does not assign nationality to the idea.
But openat, for example, is still path-based; it just changes the directory that the path is relative to. If you give it an absolute path, it will open it, and I didn't see any reason in the man page why you couldn't just pass in a bunch of ../../ as the usual exploits do. Maybe you're referring to another category of bugs?

How entire goal was to eradicate the most promising young people of the Labour Party, ie the country's likely future leaders. Iirc his idea was when the most promising political talents are dead, the party has to settle for less and will lose votes.

So it wasn't really mental gymnastics, it was a conscious attempt to curb a particular party's future. It's evil and it's nuts, but it makes logical sense. It's not dissimilar from genocide motives in that sense, just on a smaller scale.
And we're still testing that rule. Most recently for antimatter.
As poorly defined as "hate speech" is, who's to say that the bot wasn't correct in flagging the chat in question in the first place?
I definitely see those side projects positively and I'm hiring for my team. It wouldn't matter to me how senior the role you'd be applying for is. Of course, I am also the sort of developer that works on side projects.
Except no one wants to take the risk that the small fire becomes a huge one - or the smoke will aggravate someone’s asthma then next town over and get sued. Yes, that is a real reason I was quoted from a CalFire rep as to why they had to stop prescribed burns in a major fire risk area in the Sierra Foothills.

Fear always trumps greed coz FOMO is also a fear;)
Disagree strongly. You’re ignoring the disproportionate power that tracking companies have compared to citizens. Is it really a free market if every single website you visit has the same tracking code built in?

As is always the case, rights are there to protect the weak from the powerful.
I pay for ad-free YouTube and YouTube music premium. It’s possible to make any fees for service a fee for something other than service. “You’re not paying for YouTube you’re paying to not see ads on YouTube”.

You’re not paying for gmail, you’re paying for removing ads in gmail, so you can still be analyzed and tracked, etc.

It’s just semantics and creative structuring.
Great, I was sure not the first to think like this :)
Equifax is a great example of a service which you don't do business with and get opted into without consent.
> I'm not sure how I'm losing. My employers contribution plus mine is less than what I get out.

That's because of inflated provider costs. We are drastically overpaying for each medical visit and it's coming out of all our of pockets, to the benefit of a small few.
I don't know, the geometry simplification and low resolution of textures make it painfully clear the games were intended to be rendered on SD TV's. The crowd texture in the Mario Kart circuit levels looks really ugly to me.

Some of the levels have different colors in my memory, maybe some games do some kind of color grading pass.

Then again, I've got at lot of respect for developers that got so many great game experiences out of that little white box ;)
That's why you have to use one of the operating systems on the NSA Certified Secured Operating Systems list, which contain antivirus software[1]. It's a rather reasonable measure, because it keeps computers from spreading dangerous worms/viruses/ransomware for which they refuse to get to protection against.

Interesting, is this a new-ish idea in type systems? The first time I saw something similar was in Kotlin as a technique for dealing with null checks without having to rename the unwrapped variable. Are there other languages that have this feature?
Why not treat open(path) as openat(AT_FDCWD,path)?
Over here, even supermarket toothpaste has fluoride, so we don't go to the pharmacy for that.
The slightest crack will allow ground water in shorting out the wires. Cracks are somewhat common after a few years because the ground moves via the yearly freeze-thaw cycles we have up north.
And in the news this morning it was called a "drama" or "tragedy", not a "right-wing terrorist attack" as it would have been called if it was done by muslims.
At that point you're competing against energy storage, not renewables. No way you can afford to run any such power system just a few days a year.

It could all pencil out if you had some massive incentive for production on those specific days and some legally mandated quota for other times, but at that point you'd probably be beaten by a few factories saying they'll shut down for a few days if you gave them the same cash and/or renewables producers using the money to add storage.

Practically, it needs to run full out constantly and compete with an average of other power producer prices to be viable.
Do you provide any sort of debugging logs for troubleshooting integration/workflow failures while ensuring those logs are sanitized of user secrets? Is there a straightforward way to report integration failures for triage by your team in the event something changed unexpectedly (Silent API changes happen more often than you'd think)?

Looks awesome!
Yes, in NL for instance. If you buy a new car and wrap it around a telephone pole during the warranty period, the manufacturer is not going to pay for the repairs.

Point being: not all repairs are due to manufacturing defects -- and neither are defects the only reason to repair something. After-market modifications are also an important part of right-to-repair legislation.
Has the government of wherever you live remonstrated Italy, Mexico, and India?
Did you have a first post too?
Forgive me. I flubbed.
I'm an auto enthusiast and have modified some of my cars over the years. All I'll admit to is that all my current cars meet all emissions standards to the best of my knowledge, but that may have been less true for cars I've owned in the past.

I've never had the intention of bypassing a pollution control device. What's the point in that (coal rolling idiots aside)? What I have had is the intention to improve torque, power, sound, durability, or economy (what I actually care about) which sometimes has the inherent side-effect of changing the pollution profile to be different than what the manufacturer originally shipped. But to say that I'm "really trying to [bypass pollution controls]" is at least one step removed from the actual facts.

I also think it's at least a little bit amusing that I can run a 65/66 Mustang with nothing more than a PCV valve (which is at least as much for my convenience in keeping the outside of the engine oil-free as it is for emissions), but in some states I can't put a cold air intake on a 2020 Honda.
If you think they're being honest, why not give an honest response too?

> I am someone who badgered my boss to get him to give a job to the foreign cleaning lady who had the necessary degree (he did give her a job). My Indian colleague came to thank me a few years later for helping them settle in.

What's the relevance of this self-congratulatory bit? Is this a way to say "I'm not racist so trust my opinion" ?

> But this stupid stuff that has been going on for the last few years? I guess it causes even more grief for everyone.

Got it. So you think jokes about systemic racism and affirmative action are an appropriate response to a technology failure? Do you think this article has anything to do with the so called "culture wars" that you seem to be bemoaning?
seaweedfs seems pretty great for a cloud storage: http://seaweedfs.github.io
Had not considered youtube but that is indeed another great example of where I would not want an algorithm decide over the user what they get to see.

By tagging and private comments you mean being able to take private notes about a particular tweet/video?
> it needs to scale with your position.

Does it? really?

> A VP's side project would scale up to a viable business of its own

Why? I don't follow your logic here, or we are using different definitions of side-project.
It might.
Someone is getting value from seeing ads for those brands, or they wouldn’t keep advertising on Facebook. If you are getting no value and don’t like the value exchange, well, nobody is forcing you to use Facebook.

Ah. Yeah, I already do that, too: I cache every site to this personal cloud of mine, that I call... The World Wide Web.
Best defense is a good offense. Was it wrong for the Dutch to hack Cozy Bear?
Earlier this year I spent a month or 2 working on a little Go project for a very niche little usecase (it would read a MIDI file and write it to a text file in a format that could be inserted into Super Mario World romhacks [or try to anyway])

After spending all that time working on it, I was hoping that I could just compile to the various OS/architectures and distribute that, but once someone tried using it I quickly found out that as soon as you downloaded my program, Windows Defender would flag it as malware and quarantine it. Even the builds in my project workspace that I compiled myself would get flagged/quarantined once it caught them.

I tried doing some research and it seems to just be a regular thing with Go apps because I think the runtime code would be common across malware written in Go, so basically all Go programs are automatically assumed to be malware by Windows unless you buy a cert and/or get enough people using it.

Or maybe this is more common than just Go programs. I've never really done anything like this before. But I ended up just abandoning attempting to release it properly and left the source code up on Github so if someone wants to compile it themselves they can. But the whole experience was a bit discouraging. It seems like there's really no cheap/easy way to distribute software. Webapps require hosting, and native code is assumed to be malware by default.
Probably not though, gun violence is not caused by people not being aware of the consequences or the shock thereof. It's not even caused by gun ownership itself. There's a whole slew of issues behind gun violence in the US.
The fact that Breivik cited Hindu Nationalism in his manifesto went under-reported totally. The guys he cited are today on Twitter spewing the same hatred day after day. Hindu Nationalism now rules over India and they aren't going anywhere.

World has changed so much within a decade.
> I agree with the flaws you point out, but I still find reddit discussions to be of much higher value than Facebook discussions. I atribute it to the voting system.

Why? Youtube discussions are a disaster but it has a voting system.

It more so seems to me that the quality is proportionate to the subject matter. r/programming tends to have far superior discussions to many other subreddits, but the same voting system. The simple reality is that a certain minimal level of intellect is required to understand the subject matter.
>Entice client in with the most senior person with the impressive resume. Assign someone else to do the actual work

That's not "Bait-and-switch"

That's smart business

The "most senior person" (or, more likely, team) is still available - they're just acting as an escalation point, not doing grunt work

Same basic concept as having a secretary to do the [necessary] grunt work of any specialized employee/team

You don't send Babe Ruth to fetch foul balls, you send Babe Ruth to hit homeruns

But without the ball boys going for fouls, Babe Ruth doesn't get to hit as many, or as fast

It depends on the host you pay. It's very simple. Don't use email from Google/Microsoft/Yahoo/etc.

Get email from providers who care about the same things that you do. I've been using Migadu happily for over a year now.
This is not about gun control.
I disagree with the notion that subreddits can be so considered atomically and not part of a whole. r/Fantasy has had this problem where the regulars and the moderators are generally great, but authors they invite to do AMAs will often risk being harassed by users who aren't even regulars of r/Fantasy. The mods even had to go to other subreddits for new beta features condemning some planned stuff specifically because it would enable even more harassment of authors.
Oh great let me just lobby my no senators and single non voting house delegate to fix it. How about in the meantime I don’t have to pay federal taxes if I don’t get a day in how they’re spent?

Also: neither VA not DC want retrocession and you can’t force a state to change its borders. So no, the answer is DC statehood, which is something Congress can do. It’s long past time.
CA has huge fires partly because they suppressed the low brush fires that were more common a century or two ago. Because they’re now decades behind on the natural burns that would normally happen every summer, the state will have to work overtime to catch back up to a safe equilibrium.

To be fair, climate change and changing habitation patterns are also making this much worse.

Sure, but then that opens up a lot of questions about "is this actually a free market?"

It certainly makes sense in a space that is one - if you don't want to be tracked by e.g. an online newspaper, there are certainly plenty of alternative offerings on the market. But what if Comcast wanted to track you? Depending on where you live you may not have the choice not to do business with them, which means your desire not to be tracked gets steamrolled by your only available option - you're forced to accept tracking or be denied access to the internet.
That part makes the comment even better, IMO. It paints the speaker as someone ignorant enough not only to go after the black/white convention in chess but also as not knowing the origins or details of the issue at hand(which is usually the case when people are virtue signalling).
And, if not a secret, what ISP do you use and where?

I am often using LBRY on an ADSL modem and it's fast with all the network issue I see elsewhere.

UPD: nevermind, Odysee frontend seems to crash, but LBRY app itself works immediately with this article.
“Nominally” they’re not made to be misused
How so?

It is an on prem system. The customer pays per agent deployed. They buy a license for some number (N) of agents. NSO doesn’t know where those N agents are, but it knows that there are N of them.
There were many (ex-)Lispers working on comparable languages: inkl. Java, C#, Dylan, ... The discussion took place on the Little-languages list, where also a bunch of people with actual Lisp experience and general language design&implemetation experience were participating. I'm pretty sure many of them had a good idea where Java was technically positioned in the language landscape between C, C++, Ada, ... ML, Scheme, Lisp, Prolog, Smalltalk, Self, Perl, TCL, ...

Also keep in mind that SUN at that time was aggressively marketing Java as THE new language for system and application development, especially for the enterprise (a main target market for SUN). Though the origins of Java was as a programming language for set-top boxes, when it was still called Oak.

The quote from Guy was kind of an excuse there, for the modest design goals: at least we (-> SUN) dragged C++ developers towards Lisp, even though Smalltalk, Lisp, etc. people themselves were not a target and were not that impressed. Things like Garbage Collection in a language designed to replace C++ in many scenarios was still revolutionary.
Sure, but I said most expensive electricity, not highest monthly bills.
Actually, I made this site from scratch with Next.js.
I just really like how remoteOK is working, so I made a similar site for the MVP, but I hope to iterate with different feedback.
It's the paradox of tolerance in action. Tolerate intolerant ideals and there will be a sudden jerk to intolerance.
> Maybe I've become cynical but the longer I've been working, the more I like the postmodern theory that almost everything is a language game. I start to recognize bullshit, and to recognize when it's the right time to use BS myself. (Not saying that truth doesn't matter. Just that sometimes you have a correct but not convincing point, and you can support it with a not-100%-scientifically correct, but more convincing point.)

After 17 years of career I can relate to this feeling, at least the start of it. I'm not at the point where I can safely evaluate when it's the right time to bullshit myself, as a way to avoid putting effort on convincing someone about intuitive feelings I have, from all my accumulated experience, on why something is good or bad to do.

I'm still at the stage where I pick my battles instead of trying to use language to empower an argument I feel strong about, I'm still too "naive and honest" and would feel it's wrong to do it.

But fucking hell, how many discussions I have simply avoided or jumped out because it would take too much energy and time to explain to someone that's been too stubborn or sure about some solution or process. I have much less patience for these, I got more in the mode of "show, don't tell" and if I feel I don't have energy for a quick demo I know it's not a battle worth of my time.

I think I'm still too much of a modernist and seeking truth...
Voting representation in America is privilege not a right after all. History shows us that time and again.

Also I like DC. Why do I have to choose between living in the American city I like and having a vote in Congress?
Should have just pinged them on hipchat, it should reach them maybe.

Unfortunately for the rest of us, they've been put in charge.
Without a justice system you don't have justice, you have revenge and militias/mafias.

That doesn't mean that every so called justice system brings justice. Most countries have very broken justice systems that just benefit those in power. Preventing corruption is hard. Individual violence can useful on the path towards a solution, but it is never the solution itself.
I live in India ! and I severely oppose indiscriminate use of this weaponry for political advantage. As far as I recall French judiciary has started investigations.
\usepackage{mathpazo} is pretty nice. Palatino plus good math fonts.

The problems with CM are twofold. First, it's an inconsistent and amateur remake of Modern, especially italics. The bowls and straight lines are different angles and widths. Second, the postscript converted version used on most platforms is weirdly, bizarrely thin compared to the original Modern, which does not make for a good reading experience.
It doesn't really make much difference in this case though does it.
Rust is a langauge which exists because colleges want to churn out programmers who do have not spent the requitisre 4 years required to learn C. I really think we need some sort of licensing for programming...
Most people are not aware of the extent that their identities and activity is tracked across the web.
Historically 14 year olds were considered adults, though young. Look at the very many rites of manhood for an context - they used to mean something. Although not aligned with the contemporary definitions of child/adult, it’s not far fetched that a radical right-wing extremist would look to the past for his definitions, and thus see a difference between a 10 year old and a 14 year old.
