In practice the apps that don’t publish updated dependency lists are also the ones that end up breaking by when you do update their dependencies. It only works in the simplest of patch versions.

I'm a little irritated by all the normative assessments of the A/V quality of various communication software. I'm sure we can test latency, audio fidelity, and video fidelity in a useful way without resorting to super useful comments like "<service> audio is the standard to beat" and "<service> works fine as well".

I'd legit pay money for a Consumer Reports around Google Meet, Jitsi, Zoom, and FaceTime. Load up a LAN with a packet loss/jitter simulator and gimme some charts.
I’d say the left was pretty damn vocal about cancel culture between the mid-60s to the mid-aughts. Of course it wasn’t called “cancel culture” but it was very much the same thing, without a social media component.
This is like saying "most products don't work". It's totally subjective. Blatant lies usually aren't tolerated in ad networks. I'm talking about "it's the hottest summer on record, therefore you may consider a pool" not "you will lose 10 pounds" which is strictly not allowed.

In addition to this, it's worth mentioning that the two sides can go out of sync, and if so, there are ways to fix that.

The TOTP implementation for AWS logins is particularly prone to doing this for some reason, and you have to enter simultaneous TOTP codes to resync.
Ask HN: How do you think about self-training and work?
I realized today that I really enjoy learning new programming languages. something about the unexplored useful tools you're about to find. Almost like starting a new character in a video game, a world of possibilities and spells and swords ahead.

I also realized why I haven't been doing this as much as I'd like... because I saw it as doing "free work" for my employer. To an extent I was right. I'm put on tons of new projects/languages/frameworks at work, it seems like more than others... I think because I express interest in them, and am at least willing to take a shot at it, even if it's difficult or new. After awhile I resented all the time I needed to put in to keep up with it. It wasn't fair. That made me feel that I shouldn't put in more time, even if I want to.

How do you think about self-study? Do you just try to manage your work life the best you can and follow your interests wherever they lead (weather or not it overlaps with work)? Do you have strategies or suggestions around this kind of thing?
For sure. Certain subcultures have aesthetics that are not started at the top. However, these subcultures at times could be thought of as culturally elite (and very much adored by upper class tastemakers) and their fashion in some cases manages the same derivative cycle. For instance, “Grunge” culture which had an aesthetic that was very much not haute of course. But it was culturally elite at the time and very quickly their styles were derived for mainstream consumption. But even so, haute will deconstruct the parts they like, integrate it, and so it passes.

Other subcultures of course never break through.

Regardless, most clothing is purchased from retailers that mass produce things. You could probably tier rank them accordingly from designers to boutiques to small retailers on up to big box shops that you can find anywhere.

You see the same thing in other cultural artifacts like cuisine. Haute Cuisine doesn’t start every trend but it isn’t afraid to discover something outside the mainstream, riff on it, and then it works it’s way into the middle.
Prop 22 allows app-based drivers to remain classified as independent contractors, despite a state law known as AB-5 that classifies them as employees.
> but we haven't figured out workflow delegation and designation in any meaningful and open federated way, which is the necessary condition of the basic physician/nurse, physician/specialist, physician/hygenist, physician/orderly etc. workflow pattern

This sounds like standard delegation and the facade pattern from capability security. Software lost a lot of time because we didn't go with security models built for delegation from the get go. People ended up rediscovering then when the web exploded and wanted to share things securely.

Your federated network is an interesting problem. Capabilities are suited to the core delegation and authorization aspects, but there's obviously a whole lot to be layered on top that is no doubt challenging.
The problem with *AAS is one day they decide they don't like you and you're caught out in the rain. It's pretty difficult to gauge when and if that will happen and thus assess the risk.
> ...the vaccine still stops serious illness to a high degree.

Anecdotally, you don't know that, you don't know what caused you to have a mild case, if this had happened a year ago you wouldn't be giving credit to a vaccine.

> it does seem like this virus is bucking the trend and not necessarily becoming less potent

Don't you think it's possible your very mild case might be evidence against this claim? Anecdotal, of course. I haven't seen the data for infection vs hospitalization/fatality rate for the Delta variant against previous ones, but it just seems to me that someone having caught it and had a very mild case wouldn't logically jump to "it isn't less deadly."

It took me a few seconds to learn there are two kinds of ballot initiatives in CA. They can have the force of statutes or constitutional amendments. Prop 22 was written to be a statute, so of course it couldn't override the state constitution. Whoever wrote it made a huge mistake.

"Citizens of California may initiate legislation as either a state statute or a constitutional amendment. In California, citizens also have the power to repeal legislation via veto referendum. The California State Legislature may also place measures on the ballot as legislatively referred constitutional amendments or legislatively referred state statutes. Referred amendments require a 2/3 vote of each chamber." [1]

From the article: "it limits the power of a future Legislature to define app-based drivers as workers subject to workers’ compensation law." That makes the entire ballot measure unenforceable, Roesch said.

I took a gander-- the leaderboard lists 10 people making better than a 17% weekly return (3500% annualized). After extensive work cross-referencing the list with this one [1] my team was unable to find 10 candidates. Another explanation of outsized returns was deemed remotely possible but downvoted into oblivion [2]. I think it's really enticing to think you can make it rich by reading something on Reddit and doing about as much research as you'd do before buying a refrigerator.

Not OP but my 2 cents is that we'll look back at this (and the time before covid) and wonder why we never mandated masks in places like doctor's offices and hospitals long before this. With Covid in the equation, maybe you extend that to places like grocery stores as well.

I think the thought process around this greatly changes if you look at the problem on a societal or individual level. For example (with fake numbers) if a cloth mask protects is 50% effective, it's worth it on a societal level (prevents 50% of infections which makes a huge impact on hospital load) but not on an individual level (you only need 1 infection to catch the disease and die).

However my problems with masks long-term on an individual level are:
- Where's it's theatrical such as outdoors; why do i need to wear a mask when running outside by myself, or when playing soccer outdoors. My city required this for a while and many people still choose to do this even while walking their dogs by themselves. Bars/restaurants; Maybe I'm wrong but it doesn't seem very helpful to wear mask for 30 seconds while you walk to your table then sit there talking/yelling for hours while eating and drinking without the mask on. Or (something i know much less about) if simple cloth masks are really less effective (on an individual vs pandemic/societal level) then N95 masks, then why is the mandate just to wear cloth masks.
- The philosophical problem of shifting the burden of protecting immune-compromised people onto all of society rather then finding a solution that is centered on them directly. Why should everyone at a concert be forced to wear a mask when a) it's a dangerous environment to be in if you don't have a health immune system. it was before the pandemic and it will be afterwards as well. b) why don't you just create an immune-compromised "vip" section instead (maybe with whatever technologies required to ensure the virus doesn't cross the boundary. c) If (again not sure on this) wearing something like an N95 mask "100%" protects the immune-compromised, why do the rest of us need to take action as well. Relying on 99% of people to protect 1% seems like it should be the last resort solution in a long-term endemic sense.

I don't think it's worth debating the details of this today because the answer will require lots of nuance and data that doesn't and cannot exist today. What variant(s) become endemic? How much of the population is considered vulnerable to those variants? What technologies are available to protect people at an individual level? How prevalent is testing 5 years from now? How effective are the vaccines over long periods of time? ect...
I think so. And the reason I phrased my original comment so sharply is because it took me almost getting fired for sleep issues to get me to focus on anything resembling “that path”.

People often need some event to snap them out of whatever rut they’re in. At the time, I was too far gone and too strong headed to think “A therapist? Help me? Yes, I think that’s reasonable.”

In hindsight, it was obviously reasonable. But there’s a certain stigma with even talking about any of this, let alone acting on it. I did eventually get fired solely for the sleep issues, since narcolepsy is incurable. Attempting to hide it and not going to any doctor would have been in my financial interest. And the exact opposite of my long-term interest, as I am quite happy in every way now.

So when you say “go see a therapist,” I completely agree. And I also think that 20-something young professionals are unlikely to actually go do that. Males in particular. Testosterone has a funny way of making you feel that you know better than domain experts.

In hindsight, what happened was, the sleep issue was becoming more and more of a problem. I volunteered to go get a CPAP machine from a sleep clinic, since I remembered hearing a coworker from my first job in 2008 go on and on about how miraculous it was. So I showed up expecting my quick fix miracle, was informed “actually, you have incurable narcolepsy,” was kicked to the curb by Employer, and my sleep clinic sessions ended up becoming de facto therapy.

Lucky for me. Also idiot me for not just going to <domain expert> years ago.

Part of it was also that my mom snuck me antidepressants when I was 17 or so. I was really upset when I found out. I’m not sure what she was thinking. Maybe it was the only way she could get me to try it. But I rebelled as soon as I found out, and ended up filing it all in the “mumbo jumbo ignore this crap” bucket in my head until forced to partake in 2016.

Glad I got course corrected. Hoping that lots of people here learn to take care of themselves sooner. I don’t dwell on it, but it’s probably true to say that I would have had more friends and more happier years if I did it when I was 21 instead of 28. Good luck convincing a 21yo male to go talk honestly about his feelings with a therapist though.

I just hope that in a few decades, someone comes across this comment and thinks “gosh, how anachronistic,” the same way we feel about comments from the 70s about women. The era of men feeling they should hide their pain and “man up” needs to end.
So "[3]" is the only citation you give that addresses vaccine escape and it is about how it doesn't happen that often.

Nice work.
The fact that companies can overtly introduce laws for their own benefit and directly advertise to voters is both disgusting and an improvement on the federal system of lobbying and campaign finance.
The idea that we dug up a bunch of sequestered organic carbon and released it into the atmosphere, only to now try to re-sequester it and stick it back into the ground is really amusing to me.
Even with reversible computing?
You're misdirecting and missing the point entirely.

While I'm not quite anti mask like the parent comment, it is an important question to consider, it is always a trade off. What severity warrant what measures? If there's still covid like now in 10 years, will we all have to wear masks at work until we retire? Is this feasible? If not, then when do we stop? Will the people advocating it ever tell us to stop? If not, do we stop without their blessing? All very important considerations that everyone should be thinking about for themselves.
I have grown rather bored with the plots.

Granted... Comic plots, in general, are way to dependent on exceptionalism for my tastes nowadays.
Yeah, it's never felt good to me to mix work and personal devices. I used to travel a lot and took two laptops with me; the work-issued laptop, and my own laptop. Work was done on the work laptop, everything else was done on my own. I heard rumors that screenshots were taken occasionally on work laptops, so I didn't really trust it for anything. I have no idea of those rumors were true. (Both were Chromebook Pixels, hilariously, and honestly the personal one was running my own build of Chrome OS so if Google wanted to spy on me, they could probably sneak the code past me. It's a big codebase.)

I think the more interesting case is the growing startup. I mix work and personal, because work doesn't require any special software. I push code to Github and message people on Slack. But the day will come when for compliance reasons we need to be able to state that nobody who accessed production had a virus, or whatever, and I think that will be very interesting. Either we'll have to ask people to install what will be perceived as spyware, or we'll have to buy everyone a "work computer", which will probably be less powerful than whatever personal computer they have. I personally hate maintaining two computers -- I don't have the space for two desks, and I don't enjoy making the same customizations to both (no, dotfiles on Github doesn't cover everything unless I make a NixOS image with all the ancillary software I use). But, I also don't enjoy spyware on my personal computer. So I guess all I can do is hope that it never comes up as a compliance strategy -- but you know what they say: hope is not a strategy! ;)
Back doors in the Linux kernel source code? No.
Back doors in GNU/Linux distribution repositories? Maybe.
The numbers don’t lie, .001% of vaccinated people end up dying from covid, which is an order of magnitude less than folks who aren’t vaccinated.
A bit off-topic, but as a FreeBSD newbie: This summer I switched my ~6 home servers from CentOS to FreeBSD and absolutely love it. Trigger event was trying to set up a dedicated Linux VM for Ubiquiti's UniFi controller software. I was really fighting various dependencies in CentOS, then Ubuntu Server, then Debian... and saw that FreeBSD had an up-to-date package. Newbie FreeBSD user, from ISO install in a VM, to running Unifi Controller, took maybe 45 minutes. I was impressed and as I dug deeper, I began to appreciate its design.

As a 20+ year Linux user and 10+ year paid Linux admin, BSD has really connected with me as a sysadmin. Besides the clean filesystem structure and updated docs, there's generally "one way to do something" (looking at you, Red Hat...) and surprisingly, the packages are more up to date than I'm used to in CentOS / Ubuntu Server, usually tracking the latest stable releases. For the core system, there appears to be no update churn as with Linux distros.

After I discovered the FreeBSD images for the Raspberry Pi, it scratched my tinkerer itch and now... yeah.

People joke about The Year of Linux on the Desktop, but I believe we've been there since ~2014, when Chromebooks started to really get good. Goes to show a full "desktop environment," as we know it, isn't always needed for a great experience.
>The implication of expressing a concern is that it is related to what is being done.

… duh? I never said it wasn’t related, I said that it’s not a criticism of the current program.

>Otherwise why post it here? I doubt you’d claim that your ‘concern’ is irrelevant to this topic.

Correct!

>It’s an innuendo intended to imply a likelyhood of future wrongdoing.

No, it’s intended to state clearly - not imply - a concern around whether or not Apple will be pressured by other bodies to begin scanning on-device content for hashes pertaining to subjects beyond child abuse.

The question is simple - what guarantee do we have that Apple won’t expand what kind of content they scan for? What is so difficult to grasp about that, and why do you, it seems, feel that that is an entirely irrelevant question that isn’t worth discussing, answering or being concerned about?

>It works like this: ‘What guarantee do we have that he won’t hit his wife after we leave?’

>Obviously this is a way of suggesting that the man will hit his wife, phrased as a question to facilitate the same kind of denial that you are using here.

You leave and hope that he doesn’t, but would you never follow up with your friends to see how they’re doing after a domestic altercation, to make sure it hasn’t happened again and that they’re safe from harm? What is so wrong about being aware of possibilities and remaining vigilant?
I looked at those Garmins a while back. How do you feel about the size and weight?
It's interesting and quite disturbing to see businesses play the two groups off of each other. For example, this happened:

> California cities and counties won’t be allowed to tax soda for the next 12 years after Gov. Jerry Brown signed fast-moving legislation Thursday.

> It comes after a deal was struck between legislators and business and labor interests who agreed to remove an initiative from the Nov. 6 statewide ballot that would have restricted cities and counties from raising any taxes without a supermajority vote of local citizens.

https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-soda-tax-ban-2018...

This has happened a few times. Organizations will get a measure on the ballot that threatens some other group (usually with political power), and then use it as leverage to extract concessions before withdrawing it.
Can you be more specific? I pay over here €10/month (phone not included) for unlimited calls and text in all EU and many other places abroad plus 100GB (I have an old plan, now it's 120GB for the same price) locally with decent coverage, and consider myself lucky. Actually there are cheaper options, although those companies have been a lot less user friendly. With this one (iliad.it) at least I can use a prepaid card to avoid unpleasant surprises and cancel anytime in a click.
As long as they don't get the full amount back then piracy will be the path of least resistance for that kind of abuse.
Isreal also pretty strictly contolled things early on so had less natural immunity than others going into this wave (but Iceland did that too). And they struck a deal to get the vaccine early, so may have wanin immunity (lots of debate on this and whether this actually just behavior change due to presumption of immunity).
The speed on this is terrible, so seemingly the only valid use-case is for sensitive files that need to be processed locally. Otherwise, it cannot be meant as an actual application. This is more complex than simply calling an installed executable, which only requires server support.

However, it does show that wasm is a capable compilation target, which is great!

I'm suggesting blockchains for the data dictionaries and ontologies, catalogs, schemas, service billing codes, etc. because they need to be looked up and verified often, but written much less often. Clinical PHI doesn't need blockchains (other than for say, identity potentially), but I think the actual standards, APIs, and practices may benefit from it.
Alameda County Superior Court Judge Frank Roesch wrote Proposition 22 is unconstitutional because “it limits the power of a future Legislature to define app-based drivers as workers subject to workers’ compensation law.” That makes the entire ballot measure unenforceable, Roesch said. ... It’s likely the ruling gets appealed.
Well we should all accommodate you then.
