From the preface, "After many years of pressure and encouragement from friends, I decided to write up the graduate course in engineering I teach at the U.S.Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. ...In this series of lectures I try to communicate to students what cannot be said in words—the essence of style in science and engineering. ...I have found that the personal story is far, far more effective than the impersonal one; hence there is necessarily an aura of “bragging” in the book that is unavoidable."

Enjoy! It's wonderful. (The last lecture is the famous "You and Your Research" that he gave many times.)

I've really enjoyed his books too, from Numerical Methods for Scientists and Engineers to Methods of Mathematics Applied to Calculus, Probability, and Statistics. They're all drenched with experience.
So basically it is a Chicken and Egg Problem?

Something needs to be done at a fundamental level and finding some easier qualification in terms of security professional before this problem could be fixed.

One easy way to fix it would be market economics. Make senior security roles paid grade a lot higher than comparative other similar software engineering roles. These incentives should balance things out in time.

Otherwise I am looking at security professional death spiral.

Ask HN: Programming Mentors in New York?
I have a friend in New York who took a year-long programming course and just started his programming career. But he's struggling at his first job ... I gather he's not picking things up as quick as his manager would like, he's "asking too many questions", and I think his manager has unrealistic expectations of him. I'm going to try to help him once a week virtually, but I was wondering if anyone knows what options are available in New York for this kind of programming-oriented mentoring? Or a "next steps after bootcamp" kind of program?
Yes, this is very important to keep in mind, thank you. I wonder what sort of things one could do to make roads easier for automation and still serve regular people trying to be outside.
The company I work for, 3k people, is heavy gsuite. The company that owns them, 1.5M people, is all office or aws docs or salesforce docs, but no gsuite. So 1.497M people using office.
Agreed.

> This works recursively too - you can create a company that provides services to other companies who "engage" users. Best of all, you don't even have to be profitable or have a long-term business plan (...)

A neat flavor of this is what I believe a good chunk of adtech industry is built on. Since these companies are all paragons of virtue, some apply the same honesty to their in-industry customers as they would to end-users. That is, you don't even have to supply your adtech customers with a product or service that works. You only need to supply the perception that it's working. With data-driven cargo cult, it's easy - neither you nor the other side is likely to know what the data means anyway, but as long as the numbers are printed in green, and the line on the chart goes up, everyone is happy and the money keeps flowing.

> "engaging" users (whatever the fuck that means)

English is my second language, and I've learned most of it from videogames and TV shows. For many years, I thought "engaging" is the thing that a starship does to another starship with phasers and photon torpedoes. Only later on I learned the ordinary meaning of the word.
I'd just like to interject for a moment that C++ is literal dog shit and object orientation is the greatest troll perpetuated in the history of software engineering. It can be shown quite trivially that any 'class' can be re-written as a series of functions whose organization is both more aesthetically pleasing, easier to maintain, test, and reason about than a tightly coupled object-orientated, turd pie. Polymorphism is about intentionally creating objects that scramble type purity and make it harder to debug simple programs. While inheritance obfuscates program flow and makes it harder to read code. All of this is great if you like wasting hours over-complicating problems to stay in the job. But actual productivity is about simplicity and not abstract meta-meta class::template::library->vector->classes.
Reaction times aren't everything when it comes to driving. You also have to factor in tendency to speed, tail-gate, drive drunk, or other dangerous driving habits. There may be correlation between those habits and age.
Equally or more pertinent: What does an office admin, an assistant merchandiser, a product designer, or a copy editor use their desktop for?

They use a Web browser, email, calendar, word processor, spreadsheet, an image editor, and a dozen smaller proprietary apps that are absolutely essential to their job.

I think it may be the last of those... all the various industry specific apps that are hindering Linux as much as the obvious big players like Microsoft. I think word processing on Linux is fine; but your company's eight year old customized CRM tool will never, ever, be available on anything but Windows. Or specialized document scanner. Or sales commission tracker.
Probably not. I'm not for blacklisting people based on their ideals and sanctioned topics.

You could always pay those people to move out, the same as you would for an owned house.

The same rent control alternative applies too. You can move to the outskirts of the city that are less desirable locations.
> COVID-19, on the other hand, has an overall 1.66% chance of killing someone (38,043,754 cases, 629,644 deaths).

An honest, apples to apples statistical comparison here would compare 18-24 year old death rates to 18-24 year old heart problems risk, not lumping all deaths regardless of age together.

> I would rather take a 0.002% non-fatal risk than a 1.66% fatal risk.

Statistical problems aside, I’m happy if you take a vaccine or boosters that you feel is necessary for your health.

I think all the unvaccinated want is the same absolute right to decide the same for themselves.

> YouTube needs to make a way for creators to label the sponsor sections and it skips it for Premium users.

I have read that more and more creators use sponsored segments because that pays much better than YT revshare..

So they may not care about the Premium user experience as much, and if Premium lets people skip sponsored segements, that might drive down the overall segment viewership, AND increase Premium subscribers and then it's a lose-lose for the creator since those segments will be less and less valuable to the sponsor.
Sorry, but until you present conclusive proof that you don't, we better assume that you do. Unfair? Sure, possibly... But that's just the risk you took in choosing to use the same technology as all the personal info thieves.

I mean, one could also be running around in a supermarket in a balaclava without intending to rob the cashier -- but would you assume someone you saw doing that wasn't going to do exactly that?
> it has been my experience that people blame a polarized environment for their own poor behavior though

I've seen a lot of both, and I think you should be very, very worried about your perspective on this.

There is an overwhelming amount of uncomfortable truths which people are hostile towards. Especially when those people have a narrative; narratives almost always being ideologically over-simplified and therefor in conflict with reality.

If you want a really easy one, I recommend looking into the statistical "math" behind the 75/100 wage-gap. It still blows my mind that one is not allowed to point out super faulty math, and that many people still hold that number to be truth.
>> WorldWideWeb was not created in 1987

WorldWideWeb was created by (mostly Republican) computer engineers who broke from IBM in Silicon Valley in the 1980s, forming little democratic circles of twenty to forty people with their laptops in each other's garages.
Discord is a very good answer to that question for gaming communities: its features almost perfectly overlap with the set of different apps each gaming community would inevitably set up. It just so happens this set is also a good match (or a superset of) the features many other communities want as well, and where it isn't, it complements other platforms nicely.
> Seattle (which is for forbidden by the state from implementing rent control) added 2-3x the housing units as San Francisco from 2010-2020

and yet to keep up with demand we would've needed to more than 3x what we did, though from what I understand, the infrastructure to build more high density housing even faster just doesn't exist. Seattle was literally building housing as fast as it is possible for a US city to build housing.

If true that, in my opinion, points to a more significant problem in America.
I thought it was telling that Rogan tends to pair Jones with another guest who is ... obviously out to lunch. The last time I saw he had AJ on he was sitting beside a flat earther. Having the two together made both look as ridiculous as they really are.

That said, he's had too many questionable dieticians, anti-vaxxers, and such that he leaves unquestioned and unchallenged. To say nothing of his poor history with gender issues.

Shouldnt that be public-allocated vs private-alocated?

Both could be politically minded, or something else

Actually, a market-allocated one is always a political allocation since it's got the idea that rich people deserve better housing than poor people asked into the market.

> Non-standard for-pay emojis are a terrible idea. Text should be copyable, by everyone, exactly as it is.

I agree from a moral standpoint but because of the general use of emoji in servers, it really doesn't prove to be that much of an issue. People also enjoy using their own emoji, which is generally good for communities.

I think you'll find that as users find platforms to coalesce and try and build communities on, they'll want those customizations. Being able to use them anywhere on the platform is just a bonus - unpaid users can still use those emoji within the servers they come from.
Congrats. It looks decent. My biggest knock though is "freeoptionscreener"

If you didn't post it here I would never click on something called "freeoptionscreener" . I would just associate it with all the junk/border line scams that infest the world of retail trading, especially retail options trading.

I would also say that I expect to pay something for quality in this space. Even if free I wouldn't mention it. It has a discount sushi feel.
From construction which can be paid for in many different ways, such as public housing, not merely rich individuals and corporations.
For about 20 years most everything was supported on nothing but some person's own desire to put themselves out into the world. This meant spending out of their own pocket if necessary. If hosting became too much of a bandwidth issue for them to be able to pay for hosting they would release it as a torrent and it would become shared and distributed peer2peer or they'd throw it up on a free file share and the it became the file sharing platform's problem to deal with the bandwidth and try to collect (typically through member-only "premium download speeds").

In the past 10 years or so quality has largely gone down and annoyances like ads and sponsor shoutouts have gone up to the extent "Sponsored by Raid: Shadow Legends" is an actual meme. There are very, very few content creators I feel are worth supporting. This ends up being a bit classist as mostly people with enough personal cash flow and free time can afford to become full-time content creators but by and large that's already kind of the case if you look at the people who become full-time content creators. But I personally feel that if your content is more of the "popcorn" variety that people use to fill their day but don't actually value compared to something people do value then the world at large isn't missing out. If enough people felt they would miss out - they'd pay to keep it around.

There are plenty of content creators I watch where I would not be all that sad if they vanished and they stopped creating content - because I use their content to fill gaps of boredom in my day and not because I place any significant value in their content. Then there are a few I absolutely do value and I already support them when possible. I assume ones without a method to directly support them are OK with losing some revenue to ad-blockers and the like. I have absolutely let personal opportunities of collecting cash slide past me because I weighed the effort to collect it to be greater than it was worth so I assume the reason they haven't opened up a way to donate to them directly is for similar reasons.

I consider ads to be psychological warfare and something that should (but never will) be illegal if they are designed to be emotionally manipulative in any way. If a dry, boring informercial doesn't inspire you to buy their product then it probably isn't worth buying howdy. I feel absolutely nothing bad about blocking them.

There's a cliché for every viewpoint. Why let the perfect be the enemy of the good?

Though note that part of the idea of "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" is that it's preferable to have both the baby and the bathwater than to have neither, which obviously isn't the case here.
In fact I do pay for yt premium, yet still get these kinds of ads.

So much for that misplaced and invalid attempt at moralizing.

"are they so terrible?" and "what's the alternative?" are not my problem to answer, and I don't even have to agree they are valid questions that someone has to answer.

I do not accept the premise that the only way content can exist is if advertisers pay for it. That's a false dichotomy. There is no such either/or choice.

I will happily live in a world that only has content that was either fully paid for by purchasing copies or subscriptions, or given to the world for free.

You attempted to paint anyone using this software or anyone complaining about the ads as somehow morally lacking. I say, if you don't understand why anyone would give away something for free, and only think of the consumers as ungrateful parasites, then I think that says something worse about you than what you tried to say about anyone else.

You apparently live one hell of a privileged life in a fully functional country with a good legal system if you're saying such simplistic things. Striving for such nice conditions in all jurisdictions is laudable, but the practical reality is that in much of the world, a normal person subjected to abuse often has to resort to extralegal and sometimes violence recourse. The law is next to useless in these places. I live in one such country and your platitude would have just maintained a status quo of abuse against innocent people in many situations where they had to use or pay for violence by others to solve major problems.

> Scanning your system for illegal stuff has a very different connotation

And yet, when you examine the end-to-end system, this is exactly what they're doing.

If I have a long, flexible piece of wood that's capable of bending, and a very strong string, and a dowel rod, feathers, and a sharp piece of metal, I can claim that "I just have a flexible piece of wood" or "I just have feather".

But if what I really possess is an unassembled bow, and upon assembly I can use it to fire arrows, suddenly I have a weapon. It would be disingenuous to claim that the individual parts I have are all harmless when their sole intent is to be used in combination in a manner that can inflict harm or death.

This plays out all over the place. Take San Mateo, California:

* Median pre-tax household income: $103k

* Post-Tax: $70k

* Median home price: $1.6M (~$1200 USD per sqft)

* 400 sqft: $480k (note: this is without the 20-30% premium you'd pay for smaller properties)

* 15% downpayment: $72k

Housing prices are broken all over the place...

French too, this was attempted ofc, we have documentaries about big guys employed by desperate home owners trying to kick squatters out of their main property they "lost" when going to vacations, and it doesnt work.

They get sued, it often becomes very violent, because to have the balls to seize the property of someone who s in short vacations you need to be quite violent yourself, children are always involved and well meaning outrage artists always point out the poor children being sent back to the streets etc.

I live in Hong Kong now where real estate is "a dream". You can rent anything with just a pile of cash and 30 minutes because if you dont pay rent they know the police just enter, throws everything out and put you in jail awaiting trial.

Usually 99 years? I bought a new leasehold in 2004 with a 999 year term, and I don't think that's unusual now. The government announced plans in January that leaseholders will have the right to renew leases for a standard term of 990 years, as well as capping ground rent. So I hope the worst abuses of UK leasehold are on their way out.

As much as I like this feature, it is scary on the other side how easy it is to essentially steal cookies - what yt-dlp can, so can malware.

Why don't OSes have some sort of system-wide secret store linked to an user's account (like the macOS Keychain) and an application's code-signing certificate? That would at least prevent easy file-dump attacks, moving the barrier to "execute something in the browser process context" instead.
