Agreed.

And I definitely don't read release notes of all my dependencies, even indirect ones, every time I update any. I lock to major versions (and hope my dependencies do to for indirect dependencies), and only look at release notes if an update breaks a build.

There's also the commute time factor and prepping for work (dressing, shaving, prepping work lunch, etc). If commuting + prepping takes 1.5 hours each day, then eliminating that would save you ~375 hours per year, equivalent to ~18% of your hours worked.

I wish my employer would give me the option of remote, even if it did come with a paycut.
Chrome removed MathML long time ago and I thought that was the end of the story. But apparently Igalia folks didn't give up. I really appreciate and respect this level of persistence, and I'd give a bit of credit to Chrome folks as they don't at least reject their new initiative.

I'm wondering who is sponsoring this work. Igalia is still a company and I don't think they are afford to do this as a hobby... But maybe they do this anyway?

Apple's new system is scanning personal property that doesn't belong to them and isn't yet in their cloud.

Gmail files that get scanned are contained on Google's property, in their cloud, on their machines.

Entirely different context.

It's the difference between the USPS coming into my home without permission and going through my documents, records, mail - versus if I send mail through their system and they track it, scan the envelope, etc.

The iPhone used to be pretty obviously personal property, now Apple is saying that's clearly no longer going to be the case going forward.
It’s a joke at the expense of projects whose developers have no idea when their own software will be finished. You can’t ever get to version 1 if you have no clear goal or sense of what being done means. The idea of requirements is now thoroughly out of fashion. And I suspect that a lot of projects stay hazy on their purpose in order to keep the door open for a pivot to the latest trendy concept, or an acquihire.
Sweden "went back to normal" a long time ago. Their Covid deaths rate is near zero. The "it's bad so we need to x" reflex, where x is any of masking mandates, social distancing, or especially take kids out of school, is anti-science and anti-human.

I could do the same. But really, it's also my value proposition. "What's that you say? Your org has a dozen crappy systems of questionable lineage and you need to migrate to SomethingFromThisDecade? Let me pick it apart for you and we can build a plan together." It's not much, but it's honest work. (and I happen to enjoy it...so win-win)
The master-slave terminology is used outside of CS as well. For example in EE we have master-slave edge-triggered D or JK flip-flops. I don’t feel strongly either way about such word use but I am fine with renaming them too. The fact that such change is so triggering to some people is strange!

Hmmm yep, that is interesting. I am going down a similar route, but by replacing my phone with something that will become my primary computing device (either a pi-based cyberdeck, or something like the librem5). I want to effectively just carry around a SD card or small SSD with all my data, all the time. The peripheral to access this doesn't really matter to me. I never call anyone using cell networks, and only rarely use signal if I need voice/video chat which I do over wifi anyway. I guess I could also load English wikipedia onto it and directly run mirrorspace as localhost on my device...

The main blocker for me is that my partner wants to always be able to reach me in an emergency... haven't found a solution for that one yet.

Salaries are fine as they are...it is based by the value you provide to the company, multiplied by a factor depending on where you live.

If we do what the egocentric people here want "pay me 250k a year because that's what I'm worth" then only USA based companies would do software and everyone else in the world would be growing tomatoes (as they seem to think).

How would a company in India compete with that?

If you are earning a silicon valley salary and pretend to move anywhere in the world and keep your salary because "that's what I'm worth" I have two news for you: 1) it won't happen, companies are not stupid. 2) you have a big ego problem.
That's why our team at GigaCorp has switched to not using minor version numbers. In the past we had customers who expected continuous security updates without updates to the minor version due to some internal policy. All of our new products use 0.0.x versioning where x is incremented for each release. This way we can easily push out new releases and our customers have no reason to delay updates.
This is exactly why I've been concerned about LLVM's use of a non-copyleft license: unlike with GCC, vendors can create their own proprietary extensions and optimizations without contributing them back to the community.

(In the past, people have dismissed such concerns, saying that it would be impractical for anyone to actually do such a thing. But this project by Intel shows that it isn't just possible--in fact, it's almost inevitable.)
It’s not that I don’t believe there is fraud, I’m saying the vast majority of customers are well-intentioned. If this is not the case, could you point me to some sources and not just your anecdote?

Regardless, how does Bitcoin solve this? There’s a lot of illegitimate users of crypto, how are you solving fraud with irreversible transactions?

You mean NPR where recently Atul Gawande was calling the pandemic a "pandemic of the unvaccinated" and urged everyone to take the vaccine?

He's right in a way, being vaccinated keeps you out of hospital, but it won't prevent you that much from catching the disease and developing post-covid syndrome. And you can still spread the virus in your community.
The only thing I can think of is that pagination didn't originally exist, so users could have "learned" that if Ctrl-F didn't find a term, that it didn't exist in the comments (rather than didn't exist on this page of comments). That seems incredibly minor to me, though.

One of the great challenges in coding is fixing somebody else's code with 100% confidence you didn't break something bigger.

Each function may appear to have a contract, but it's sometimes unclear if other code is relying on the apparent (mis) behavior of the code. Obviously any sort of global state (including config files, database), magic, parallelism, async, abstraction layers make this exponentially more complex.

The author knows all the things that aren't there, it's easy. The bug-fixer just has to check every single thing or risk being bitten by something spooky (e.g. a database trigger).
> CardDAV address book support

That’s nice. That will make it easy to setup master-data management without additional extensions.
I get autocomplete and goto definition with dynamic languages just fine. And I make mistakes that static typing could have helped, but then again they are not frequent enough to justify the bureaucracy (and they don't break production).

Of course, there is no general rule. This is true for the type of projects that I've been recently working on, which are small-scale distributed web systems.

If a new project demands a rigorous type system, I would probably go to something like PureScript[0] before going to C# clones like TypeScript. It seems that the compiler would help me a lot more in a language like that.

Slack also has employee statistics tools that rank employees by number of messages sent.

I worked at a company where the CEO once shared a slide with the top Slack users and praised them for being engaged. Suddenly, everyone started spamming Slack to get their Slack numbers up.

My least favorite technique was the people who pressed enter every few words as an easy way to get more lines. After the CEO publicly praised the top Slack users, I started getting a lot of messages like this:

> hey

> you there

> ??

> quick question

> for you

> I’ll keep it quick

> :)

I would some times leave for lunch and come back to over 100 Slack notifications that could have been replaced by a few e-mails, but that wouldn't have earned anyone Slack points. Slack basically became useless after that.

Kaspersky is blacklisted as a government security vendor for anything remotely resembling classified or sensitive material. Also, virus databases are open to having their definition databases perused by the user. You can actually dissect what is being scanned for. Apple's system is not, and goes through great pains to be as opaque as possible. Understandably so it may be, from a rational free agent point of view it is still a threat at scale.
>better salaries in a lot of jobs

Factory jobs that is probably true in general--though you're still into the period when a lot of traditional union manufacturing jobs were leaving (or had left) the country.

As an engineer/software developer, you're probably going to be paid about $40K for an entry-level position [ADDED: For the US at a "tech" company]. And there is basically no equivalent to routine FAANG SWE salaries.

Housing is cheaper (relatively) in some locations although the Bay Area was still relatively expensive. Manhattan was considered the high-priced place to live at the time.
Perhaps it will be easier for partisans in the US to rally in support of freer speech when the details of the situation are less familiar.
If you are writing a ton of small files (we have billions of audit blobs we write) the API put costs can quickly creep up on your. We pay much more for those than on the actual storage costs. If you want to use tags on your objects, they charge you per tag per object per month - again, another huge cost. We missed that when pricing S3 out, and needed to do a project to pull out all of the tags we had, and are currently working on batching up multiple blobs into one larger blobs to hopefully reduce our API costs by an order of magnitude. This is purely a cost decision for us, adding complexity to our application and its operation. S3 seems better suited for fewer larger files. Our backups and other use cases like that work perfectly.
Other sites design their UI to stand out. Paginators may be bolded, or in a different font. And there will usually be other visual cues like a "Page x of y" somewhere. Hacker News' primary color scheme is minimalist grey on grey, specifically so the UI doesn't distract from the content.

As a result, people here develop feature blindness to the point that dang has to remind people that pagination even exists in most paginated threads.
I would be completely happy with Harmonic except for 3 issues and I'm not sure if the one can be resolved because every Android HN API using app I have tried has the same issue.

The first issue is that long comments are difficult to type because the text box doesn't scroll the content. You end up typing blind. I'm already doing so now.

The 2nd is that you can you can copy part of a comment.

The 3rd and the one that I've experienced across clients is that dead comments are displayed. I would like to not see dead comments.akimg this a setting would be fine.
This book started my love of Science Fiction. My English teacher gave it to me when I was about 13. I wasn't very focused in school, but I fell in love with this book. My teacher obviously knew me well, it was short, but very well written. Thank you teacher.
> As always very good content from owasp.

I have a severely jaded view of OWASP content: I feel it’s very hit and miss; never excellent, and often mediocre. They do have some decent stuff, but historically I’ve found it regularly quite low-quality; my favourite example is that their XSS stuff is quite badly written, utterly incomplete, severely misleading in places, and recommends doing some things that are completely unnecessary, with no explanation of why except in one place where it provides an incomplete citation to a spec from at least 15 years ago (section number but no mention of even what spec), on a point where that spec was actually at fault and didn’t reflect what anyone ever did (I think that was about the &apos; character reference in XML). Until the end of last year it said to escape / as &#x2F; with no explanation, so that got cargo-culted, and they resisted removing it largely because there’s got to be some reason why it’s been there for at least a decade, right?
> Indeed, now white men are discriminated against in a lot of Tech companies under the guise of fighting "white privilege" and promoting diversity

Tech is 2% black, but white people are being discriminated against? You mean by being promoted, having huge salaries, and getting all of jobs? oh my!

The historically disadvantaged white american community should really organize together. Maybe under a white flag. I know. White robes. Maybe pointy hats? I wonder if anyone has tried that before?

When you start from a position of extreme white privilege, even the smallest gains by others which don't affect you (there are endless tech jobs, no white man left behind here) seem like a catastrophe. I'm sure this is how white people in the south felt too!

Rust Game Engine 3D
disclosure: i worked in mechanical maintenance for a large midwestern power distribution company.

power isnt a 'good' or 'bad.' co-ops and collectives exist to keep generators and distributors and maintenance crews honest and on the level but at the end of the day cities say "we need power" and power companies are responsible for it. theyre also responsible for communicating risks like salmon collapse and, if thats acceptable to the city, then proceed.

texas has a see-no-evil, hear-no-evil problem where plants do not perform risk assessment and do not communicate it, instead pocketing the cash and giving a big beaming thumbs-up. Texas has decided that instead of a transparent and working regulatory agency that helps navigate things like storm coverage, MTTR, and low income assistance, a rubber stamp will do.

no grids perfect. cities often put off maintenance for decades to save traffic headaches, prevent water and other utility outages, and to plan around other construction work they might be doing. Texas is a different and very cavalier beast entirely though.
I don't think there is any "standard" that strictly governs the implementation of a CQRS system. We just need to be aware of the nuances of the fault-tolerance aspect in distributed systems:

- idempotency is ONLY a hard-requirement if the events are transmitted via lossy channels such as network. ID is one out of several ways to ensure idempotency. If you're implementing CQRS for your distributed system then it's needed
- otherwise, if the events aren't lossy and can be processed atomically, you don't need to ensure idempotency. think implementing CQRS for your user interface where events are just transmitted between different objects in memory rather than via network
Didn't Sweden have a lot more deaths than their neighbours?
White exurban Atlanta (Randolph County) went back to normal as well, and now they are closing school because of a covid outbreak. I guess there isn't yet enough Delta variant in Sweden to make a difference. That, or the Swedish practice adequate mitigation (social distancing and masking).

this is a black pattern of going down step-by-step.

> If your events are well defined

This is clearly the key to the whole picture.

Reading through this and other comments this morning, and I am starting to develop some concrete notions.

Seems like I simply need to build events for each unique type of fact that could exist in the domain. The verbosity of this seems extreme, but also makes a ton of sense.

The thought in my mind right now - If you combine event sourcing with a model in 6NF, the mapping should be trivial. Every fact table has its own series of events pertaining to it (Create/Update/Delete).

This also seems elegant - If your core data representation is inherently linear, do you care that you have this degree of normalization going on? You have to reconstruct some reasonable in-memory representation from the log anyways, so your live in-memory instance could be ~3NF while it ultimately transacts with a 6NF event log on disk. This also plays nicely with backwards compatibility and data migrations.
I have had a few cards go but I never isolated the cause. Certainly unceremoniously cutting power occurred a few times.

I got tired of the inconvenience of having to rebuild the Pi installation and flashing SD cards, so now I boot my Pi4 directly from a USB attached SSD, no card on-board at all. I haven't looked back. Others seem to also be getting good result like: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/im-booting-my-raspber...
I love the movie, and I agree with you.

Big Trouble in Little China is an example where I think they did this intentionally and it worked; Kurt Russell’s character (arguably the main character) doesn’t actually do anything but witness the story, and everything would have turned out more or less the same if he hadn’t been there. In the case of Raiders, I don’t think it was intentional and it didn’t work (though like you say the rest of the movie was so strong and fun it doesn’t matter).

I do love the warehouse scene at the end, however, and think about it all the time.

Top. Men.
Dropbox user for personal stuff for many years, I'm definitely not happy about them adding weird add-ons like Paper or even worse, Passwords. Just focus on file sync/storage/sharing.
And I absolutely don't understand the family plan, like you have the same storage (2TB) than a Premium account, but you have to share it between multiple people AND pay more. What ?

Also, I use OneDrive at work and even if I like its integration directly within Office (especially Excel), I have issues daily with the sync. Lots of conflicts, lots of "can't sync"... And even if I keep removing it, I keep getting two or three shortcuts on the left sidebar in Explorer and it annoys me quite a lot.

So for now I'm staying with Dropbox but I will have no issue switching ship if I see something better elsewhere or, worse, if they make bad choices.
People instinctively defend their choices either consciously or subconsciously. It's a function of normal human ego. You don't have to relate this to programming languages and developers you could do that to other life choices such as; cars, foods, area of the country or world that you live in, etc...

There's nothing inherently wrong in that attitude. What you relate as snobbery could easily be viewed as evangelism. They like what they have, they like what they know and they're communicating that. In any kind of evangelistic approach you communicate both positives of the thing you like and the negatives of the thing that you're attempting to replace.

I could easily make the argument that how you chose to frame this question demonstrates the same ego that you're assigning to others because choosing the word snobbery as decidedly negative connotations to it.
