Nah, from what he told me the service pistol was an inaccurate POS, a pain to clean (which one would have to do often) and the G36 rifle is made in large parts (e.g. the stock) from polymer/plastic meaning they were forbidden from ever using the weapon body itself as a weapon because otherwise it would splinter and break.

The AK my father and grandfather used in the NVA instead was a real wartime weapon, rugged, dependable and able to be produced in mass quantities relatively cheaply. The G36 instead is apparently expensive, fragile and not that accurate, ie. more of a showpiece.
But it does affect me! Last time when I was looking for a new job I had a requirement that it must be either remote-friendly or have the office in walking distance to my home, which significantly reduced the choices for me. I really hope that pandemic will result at least some empowerment of teams to chose their preferred way to work.
Not to mention, the "nerdy guys" play a big role in deciding what hardware your company buys, what OS and applications are installed, etc. Friends and family reach out to the nerdy guys for recommendations, etc. The impact is slow but massive.
yes words have meaning and the present change is wrong because it fails to understand the actual meaning of master.
Very naive to assume those hashes won't be treated differently on the backend. The most logical thing would be to send those directly to the CPC/NSA, since Apple's human review is clearly a smokescreen at the point where non-CP hashes are added.
Isn't it the other way around? If you have an “AB” event, it's fairly trivial to go through the log and split it into “A then B”. If you have “A then C then B” for whatever reason and then realize that you need to aggregate “A” and “B”, that is much harder.

There are two distinct pieces. One piece is the technology and white paper behind Bitcoin. Most engineers on HN think that is very impressive and a legitimate technological achievement.

The other piece is a reaction to the pro crypto crowd who are making claims about how amazing crypto is and why it is the future. Most of these people have a large financial interest in moving the price of various coins up. The use cases so far 10 years into this are buying drugs and ransomware and the price going up.

Another example "Smart Contracts" are supposed to be this amazing technology for changing the world, but as you see here they have some significant downsides that the pro crypto people seem to either ignore or not understand.

It isn't just HN folks who feel this way. One of the smartest and most accomplished AI engineers alive today had this to say. https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/1401267972044328961
I wish I could believe that a single Black person's life across all of time and space will improve because of this change.
We don't delete events, just replace sensitive info in events with the specific string marker (by direct update in DB) and then update projections. In this case, the system remains consistent because all the related aggregates and events are still there. You can safely rebuild all the projections without issues and see these string markers instead of deleted info.
My theory is that cropping is intended to require interested users to click on the image to reveal it, thus generating engagement data.
This is amazing thanks for sharing.

A increasing fraction of people in the western world are unable to cook and/or prepare food. So probably not a troll.

very. The only way to have driverless cars is to ban humans from the roads (and let the cars communicate with each other).

As long as we have humans driving, there will not be driverless cars.

I.e. The tech is close, but the regulation is not.
There are consistent words that get dropped for different languages. For a very simple example, iirc, most Slavic language don't have a word for "is," or articles, so if the author says "dog brown" instead of "the dog is brown," they probably originally speak some Slavic language (or something with similar features). You're correct it's not conclusive, but it's also not about dropping random words.
My first impression is it's kind of like a transpiler or Babel for CSS. I agree with your sentiment and I wouldn't use it, but let others have their fun I guess.
One of the biggest things not counted in these stats is that if you have a mortgage you're banking equity.

Instead of paying say $2000/mo on rent you could be paying say $2500/mo on a mortgage but only $1000/mo of that might actually be interest.

So even without capital appreciation on property you're ahead of the renter.
He struck me as the kind of people who makes management errors, sees the company suffer for them, and blames anyone and everyone but himself for it, usually for extremely vague reasons like "not working hard enough"
There are several issues with this. The main one is how can people trust a product that will let them lose money in the name of growth.

The second one is that the more money, the more incentives to hack. And given that transactions are irreversible, you only need each bug once, you don't care that it's fixed later. So if a bug can report a hacker millions of dollars, there's going to be quite a lot of hackers researching, probably with more effort there than the effort put in best practices, audit and formal verification.
> That is until they wake up in their mid forties/early fifties and realize the entire life passed them by

This only happens if you equate life satisfaction with your car brand or the size of your house.

A depreciating 50k USD car and a large mortgage changes the math for the worse. One or two vacations a year or a hobby that takes up a relatively small percentage of your income is easily doable at median wages while saving 15% of pretax income.
>Back in the 90s it was virus checking (Do you trust the AV company? What if they were bribed by the content companies?), full device indexing and search (Do you trust the OS vendor? What if they're in league with the government?)

These are examples of companies choosing to do something as a selling point of their software as a benefit to the end user, and people worrying that it could aid the government down the line if they change their mind.

Apple's content review change is explicitly FOR reporting people to police in a way that can be expanded beyond it's currently set purpose (child porn) later.

>I'm very surprised this didn't blow up when Apple implemented ubiquitous image text recognition.

I'm personally not a fan of that stuff anyway, but personally if it's only my local device I don't tend to care about image recognition, it's only when it involves communicating information from MY hardware to THEIR servers that I get antsy.
I've bought a lot of silly ones over the years. When 'enterprises' TLD opened, I couldn't believe that criminal.enterprises wasn't taken yet, so I snagged it. Although I found myself reluctant to actually use it on a website (could be nice for a game though), I did end up redirecting it to a certain ex-president's organization, but only a few hundred people ever noticed.
Ryan North, the author of Dinosaur Comics, does a similar thing. Normally found at qwantz.com he also has

An alternative would be to introduce a „marketing version „number independent of the semver version.

Usually there are packages with big api differences for the first 3 versions or so. The major version number is used to discuss bugs, development, etc. New versions usually entail a beta period that results in two active versions for a while.

This would allow the major version to be used more often for breaking changes to help with automated dependency update tools.

It's also possible that some people understand all of this and still don't think that crypto is a good idea, or that it has worked out well in practice, or that it does anything meaningful.
If that's not sarcasm, and I am really not sure whether it is, just one counter argument: commit hashs are not ordered and they can change.
>US nuclear weapon stockpile will only be enough to neutralise just one military superpower

Well that's not true. And it's especially not true with the new ICBM fuses and bomber launched stand-off missiles. The newly equipped icbms are an approx. 3x multiplier compared to having the same number of weapons a decade ago.

Which frees up weapons to be shifted either to new targets, or from strategic use to potential tactical use, with the new lower adjustable yields.

So even WW3 trench warfare has a good chance of still being nuclear warfare.
Or, less lethally, and probably just as effective: Drop a bunch of concrete blocks on the sea floor designed to snag nets. You wouldn't even need that many to make fishing the area entirely unprofitable.
The email space has a ton of cash. Frankly I’m surprised it’s as low as 10B. Probably due to the fact that social media is “new” while email is “old.” Hype matters.
If I understood it correctly, there was one contract (EthCrossChainManager) which could call arbitrary methods on other contracts, the methods being identified by a 4-byte hash. There was another contract (EthCrossChainData) which had a method the attacker wanted to call, since it allowed to change relevant public keys, but which had a check on the identity of the caller. However, that check allowed the former contract to call the later. So the attacker only had to find a method name which led to the same 4-byte method identifier, and trick one contract into calling the other; the first one though it was calling an arbitrary function on an unrelated arbitrary contract, while the second one thought it was a legitimate internal call from the related first contract.

As another comment mentioned, this is a classic "confused deputy" vulnerability.
That's a little strange to me. As a reviewer, I find it substantially easier to read 30 commits that are 20 lines each than one commit that is 200 lines.

Bite sized ideas are really easy to digest. Maybe the real complaint is that the commits aren't sufficiently independent. I know some projects mandate that the full test suite be able to pass on every commit, which is really just a way of enforcing that every commit is "complete".
The mark of excellent satire is that it's indistinguishable from the thing it lampoons.

10/10.
Mail platforms like Sendgrid and Mailchimp are pretty standard purchases for any company that does anything with email (i.e. pretty much every real-world company).

It's crazy to me that Reddit has the same valuation. Frankly, I feel like I live on a different planet from much of the HN hype crowd sometimes.

> Words have meaning and power.

.. for you. I hope nobody ever insults you.

> How they are used literally changes the discourse.

No. People come up with ideas and thoughts, and wanting to express themselves, they seek out looking for words. Peoples ideas and thoughts make up how words are meant.

"Smart contracts" that lock up all the money because of a = rather than <= bug doesn't seem "efficient" it seems brain dead.

It turns out some of the inefficiency is necessary for everything to function, and ultimate efficiency is a dumb idea. Who knew?
I find git commit hash too long for no good reason.

I prefer to version with the file size, which is strictly increasing if you follow those best practices:

- never delete any of your valuable code (commenting out is OK)

- never break up code into several files (makes it simpler to read).
Dropbox has the best Linux client of all. That's the only reason I keep paying.
But why release the Electron App for Mac at all if you have a perfectly good Swift UI-based Mac app?
Sure, and if everybody uses WhatsApp and stores all messages on their phones, the entire conversation can eventually be leaked as well. If you don't want conversations to be stored, you can choose not to store them just like you can choose to use Signal. I don't see the problem here.
Counterexample: SpaceX. Sometimes, starting from scratch can be very helpful.
mutt and thunderbird are the only 2 clients I have ever found that can make mailing lists usable - gmail threaded view sucks for conversations that have branches, and encourage terrible quoting / top posting practices.
Maybe if GCC project wasn't opposing the ability to easily integrate third-party tools we wouldn't have LLVM to begin with.
In this study, they did not directly do that. Instead they extrapolated from the population/state level delta prevalence estimates (so whatever the state was doing to do that.. probably sequencing) over different time intervals.
Comically terrible examples)reasoning. You could have just used "pussy" as the example and done much better.
> folks have been asking those of us who are fully abled, very nicely for a very long time, to stop making things harder for them. Blithe dismissal deserves to be received a certain way.

I'm one of those folks (see my profile). I still ask nicely, and try to be nice even when responding to what seems to be a blithe dismissal, because I want to focus on solving the problem, without making developers feel unnecessarily uncomfortable about honestly discussing a sensitive topic. I still struggle with this, and might not have gotten it right in my own response to bob1029 yesterday, since that response got downvoted.

Also I'm not sure bob1029's original response is a blithe dismissal; he may just be honestly stating the decision-making process that makes sense in a business world where disabled people are a tiny minority. That sucks for us, but maybe I just have to have the serenity to accept what we can't change, and focus on what is feasible, such as reconstructing UI content and semantics using OCR and other machine learning techniques (like Apple is doing as an option on iOS), rather than trying to convince every UI framework and application developer to put extra work into accessibility. I've been resisting that conclusion, but I'm getting closer to accepting it.
>The biggest challenge is once you leave Solidity entirely, it's hard to do anything but very simple operations.

You don't have to leave solidity, it could all be done in the fallback/default function, no?

For the rest, you described gas tokens, but self destruct refunds were removed with London so they are all worthless now.
For React Native we do ~monthly releases and just increase by 1 each time. It’s a train model this way people know when their changes will get released. I guess we should consider bumping to 1.x at some point and keep going :)

> Never worry about which digit to increment (denver, 0ver)

Yay, every version is a patch and who cares if there's breaking changes.

So now I need full QA before I pull in every security patch: a lovely idea in theory but in practice it's just a major motivator for engineers to leave their dependency tree to grow horribly out of date and littered with known vulns.

> ... or what date it is (calver) because who remembers the date.

Have to agree with this though, calver is pointless.

All it does is caters to the general bias people have toward "new is better" and "well maintained = frequently added new features", neither of which are true.
Ok. In my opinion an algorithmic censor-resistant, deflationary value network is a useful potential technology that can give us potentially the best store-of-value known to mankind so far. Why isn't it meaningful to further research this technology in your opinion? (While mathematicians are researching all kinds of esoteric topics?) In my opinion proof-of-stake research is one of the most-important research topics today.
How have they botched Linux support? It works flawlessly for me and GDrive/OneDrive don't even come close.
I have incurable cancer and let me tell you, talking about curing death is laughably absurd at this point. We don't even have good pain killers.
I'm supposed faking activity is the game when you work for a large company.
+1 and, if as an older dev you show younger manager(s) that you respect and empathise with them, often they'll love you for your experience and perspective. One thing is to "meet them halfway" , not make them feel threatened. I love my current job so I hope to stay a long time, but, if I was interviewing with someone much younger, if it felt relevant I might ask them if it bothered them about my being much older, and what I could do to alleviate any concerns. That's the sort of frank conversation that might be good in interview (possibly not legal for the interviewer to start that topic, but OK for interviewee). Isn't a lot of this just that people simply need to TALK to each other. ;) Not just older and younger devs but democrats & republicans, different gender/ethniticty/religion , drivers/cyclists etc etc ;) This problem is as old as the hills!
We know one couple who makes FAANG level income. They have a very nice apartment, but otherwise are as reasonable with their spending (from what we’ve seen) as everyone else.

The rest of our social circle is decidedly middle income. We also live in a very high cost of living location that isn’t California or NYC.

Guess what guys, you can have a good life in all but a small handful of places while saving towards retirement and making median wages.

A recent (relatively speaking) redesign of Gmail.com left it less usable and much slower than before, and that drove me back to Thunderbird. Even on a high end machine with fiber, it takes a while to load for me. I still go there occasionally to use the superior search, though.
I mean honestly, this is typical US stuff. As a european I have never associated blacklist, whitelist or master with any discrimination.

Why instead of changing tech wording affecting every dev worldwide who does not care about american pseudo social justice, just do not call dark er skin „black“ and brighter skin „white“?

I mean still more people are afraid in the absence of light, hence the dark, than otherwise.
And „white“ is often associated with clean, pure. There are psychological effects we can‘t just ignore.

Better just stop associating this pink skin with „white“ and darker skin with „brown“ or „black“.

I mean I still have to see a „white“ person and a „black“ person in real life.

For god‘s sake. Stop finding problems where there are none. Corporate trolling has reached the next level.

If your events are well defined, you should be able to understand what happened by looking only on the event names. So, SetKeyValue is not good here: "what key? what does it mean?". CustomerEmailSet or CustomerEmailChanged clearly describes what happened with the customer.

True ancestor to this:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightenment_(software)

” The first version of Enlightenment was released by Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) in 1997.[5]

Version 0.17, also referred to as E17, was in development for 12 years starting in December 2000[6] until 21 December 2012 when it was officially released as stable.”
Thing is, iCloud Photos are already not E2E encrypted, so it's sort of irrelevant if they're requiring "vouchers" in this case.
Ya, sorry I used "studies" in the shitty industry jargony way where it (as opposed to clinical study) can mean just about any type of experiment.

For shelf life and storage, FDA typically very much prefers real-time rather than simulated/accelerated data. For the time interval listed here (1 month at fridge), they certainly would have done a real-time study.

I've only worked in diagnostics (and any reagents needed for that), so I don't know if the FDA would require these studies to have an actual human efficacy/safety component, or if these vaccines just passing some sort of QC test (presumably the same screen they use to manufacture) is enough.
Pores for thought: how sweat reveals our every secret

It's a little different, right? So J&J uses modified adenovirus which acts more similarly to real life, in that it's using a DNA transcription process (that's where they think some error occur and causes clotting/stroke issues). Although they are also just making a protein that displays on the outside of the cell. A real virus will create copies of itself via a similar method. These copies are inside of the cell and later leave it.

So it's mostly a concern that in one way we are targeting a spike protein on out own cell, but normally a virus would be complete and not be displayed as part of the cell wall. That's where I wonder if some people's immune system might code off of other normal proteins in addition to the spike. I would have thought there would at least have been a study about autoimmune antibody levels. I found one about severe covid patients having a higher likelihood of having them, but I couldn't find a study looking at the vaccines. It's pretty frustrating that I'm being downvoted for asking what I think is a legitimate question, one that apparently hasn't been looked into (since I can't find any study and the downvoters haven't provided one either).
