So, you could have delayed the app by the same amount but now have a mongo environment for production as well?

Seems a bit of a waste to rewrite the app instead.

Not that I would recommend Mongo anywhere, production or dev, but it would apply for any other technology for which this happened.

This is like asking if the vitamins that you give to a chicken as a chick will poison you when you eat it as adult, I am not talking of hormones or growth agents, just literal common vitamins

You don't eat "the vitamins" you eat the chicken, you don't eat the fertilizer, you eat the plant
I'm pretty sure Retrobar will work with the systray, that is if you're into the classic Windows taskbar experience.
It would be funny if this weren't true right in this thread. The best example I can point to is Brave's only option to install on Linux involves a blob of CLI commands: https://brave.com/linux/

Linux has to grow beyond being built by and for mechanics.
Hm. I'm sure it can. However, in my line of work, pirated software leads to furtherance of proprietary and unexportable/hard-to-export file formats that further push others to piracy.

Switching to FLOSS systems and open data formats sidesteps this whole issue. With open formats, open specs, and FLOSS implementations means that data is now portable and easier to write translators for. And data is not a roach-motel model, where proprietary software uses that model as a form of lock-in.

Tl;dr. Starting off makes sense to pirate. Longterm, FLOSS makes more sense for your data and content.

(And, software piracy online feels like the equivalent of jaywalking in terms of "criminality". But this is just a personal feel.)
It would be fun to see who thinks running a country by using the target of infection rate is better than the (also) deeply flawed target of GDP. Either I've miscalculated or misspoken, but I don't see that my post needed any more elaboration than its final ellipses, and the silent downvotes perhaps could be better explained, but I'll just assume my post was too low effort to merit that and forget all about it.
Does anyone have a success story of using a non-Android / non-iOS smartphone as their main phone?

I've been on a flip phone and never owned a smartphone but a recent role I'm taking requires having a smartphone for email / Slack access.

I know it's a matter of picking between 2 lesser evils but has anyone avoided both and went with an open Linux based phone that has a really nice user experience and decent battery life? All of the research I've done leads to Linux / open phones just not being there yet, even phones that cost $900 like the Purism Librem 5. The Librem 5 looks like it came a long way in the last year and I am really rooting for them to succeed, but is anyone using a current one as of today or know of a viable alternative?
It's so interesting to see the amount of pessimism/skepticism/realism in the comments, considering how much employee stock options are touted as this magic alignment of incentives in tech.
my favorite response ever to "it works fine on my laptop/dev machine" is "let's connect the prod load balancer to your workstation and get you a pager, problem solved!"

It isn't exactly what you're looking for, but along the same vein are things called diffusion models.[0]

in my experience pretty much every instance of 'we've done away with something due to the demands of affinity group x' actually means 'one or two of the members of my clique are members of affinity group x and happen to share my cultural agenda so we'll force through this change regardless of what's actually desired because because we know what's best for them'

which is why "I'm out" after 20 years or so on Windows.

I don't want an OS that sends me messages like that, supports adverts, or (initially at least) demands to be always connected to the internet to store my "stuff" in their cloud.

I haven't booted into Windows for (checks `uptime`) about 4 weeks now.

Yeah Germany came very close twice to winning both world wars. The Soviets won the lion's share of the territorial spoils of WW2 despite emphatically not being a free trade power.

The Union won the Civil War despite almost alienating Great Britain and coming within a hair of war with the Brits multiple times. The Confederates were the free trade power supported by Europe throughout the entire war. As Ulysses Grant said during the final days before the Confederate surrender, "The British mark was on every battlefield of the war." Didn't work out for the free-trading Rebs the way that they hoped, but them's the breaks.

It's not actually the 'own' that people think it is. Free trade is not a cheat code for permanent global domination. It's effective but it has limitations and weaknesses. The type of arrogance that leads to the belief that it grants an aura of invincibility is just hubris.

The nations that use autarkic measures are not just stupid morons who are and were doomed to lose ahead of time: that's just believing our own Atlanticist war propaganda too much. Make no mistake, the modern sea powers have come very close to defeat and humiliation many times over the last couple centuries, and one of them was effectively annihilated (the British) in part due to the tidal wave of Asian nationalism.
We have had ads in windows since st least the release of 8 many years ago (many in tech time at least). On top of that, manufacturers have been pushing ads onto windows for even longer in the form of preinstalled crapware.

The bug is really the only thing that is new here.
I wonder if the issue isn't that they've been living in their own insular world for so long that they really thought they were doing something that would pass muster in the real world.

There does seems to be an increasing tendency of FAANG companies to do that.
I applied for four positions at Capital One before throwing in the towel:

- Two of those applications were ignored. No response at all from the recruiter.

- Another jumped on a call to say the requirements were "dumbed-down" to get more diverse applicants to apply. Women tend not to apply for jobs they think they are unqualified for.

- Last was pulled as I was told I had to go through the promotion process.
> Apple is well within their rights to be shutting down pay discussions on company time and on a company platform.

No, they aren't, selectively; they can comprehensively ban non-work discussions of all kinds, but if they don't, since discussions are covered as employee organizing/mutual aid, they cannot selectively be banned (in the US) without violating the National Labor Relations Act and (often) state labor relations law, as well.
Apparently they sold 6 million Macs in Q2 [1]

6M/91d/24h is about 2700 units per hour, if those numbers from statista are true.

I mean, you can just run into a Costco, grab something, and run out. No one can stop you.

In Costco's favor, they don't have a lot of valuable things that you can just walk with that aren't just a cardboard voucher.
To be fair, when forced to choose between Oracle and MongoDB I’d also have a serious dilemma.
Your messaging is doing the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish. What do many people do when they are in a state of despair, the state your messaging is portraying? They do nothing. Don't believe me? Go to any poor neighborhood. Is that what you are trying to accomplish? I suggest toning down the fear mongering rhetoric. Everyone knows global warming is a thing, the US government isn't ignoring it. Stop selling the fear. I don't blame you, that's what the NYT, et al, sells, but they sell it for profit. I'm not sure why you are selling it.
I have always given the advice to everyone I meet "Move up or move on". You should not work at a company more than a few years before you are either promoted or become highly compensated for your position. Far too many of my peers have become stagnant working at a company for 6+ years without moving up. They make less and miss out on the opportunity to make more money and expand their skills elsewhere.

If you apply for an internal position you are qualified for and get denied it's time to start looking, you do not have a future at that company.
I think you have an excellent point.
The way Dual_EC works, to exploit it you need a TLS extension that has the server send "large nonces", which you use along with knowledge of the backdoor key to recover RNG state and so recover the server's Diffie-Hellman keys.

Now, if the backdoor is in place but no one was using it, no one would know if the public backdoor key got changed. But the attacker gets to decrypt all these sessions. OTOH, if NSA was trying to use the backdoor and noticed it wasn't working, they might start looking into it and find the hack.

So being able to make a very small source code change (32 bytes of public key material in this case) that has this impact is fantastic because that change is small enough that no one might have notice for a long time (which is apparently what actually happened).

But you're right, if you can change the source code then you can add a backdoor anyways, so Dual_EC being backdoored is not what was fatal to the Juniper systems. What was fatal to them is that they had poor internal security.

Still, an intentional backdoor key is plausibly -likely even- easier to replace than a backdoor is to add. So this is a decent argument against intentional backdoors. But it's not really a devastating argument against intentional backdoors.

Intentional backdoors are bad for political reasons too -- or good, maybe, depending on your point of view. Intentional backdoors are bad because the key to the backdoor can leak, and when that happens it can be very hard to fix -- this is devastating to security of the backdoored system, so I think it is a devastating argument against intentional backdoors, especially for a backdoor where exploitation is passive, like Dual_EC.

Dual_EC was a fine covert key escrow system for U.S. government systems, but there was no need to make it covert if it was only for that.

EDIT: But the real problem with Dual_EC is that it's terribly slow. /s

I agree that patents on this are likely to stifle most of the advantages, but not that this would create more problems than solutions.

For one thing, it greatly changes the calculus of a Mars mission. A long–term Mars mission needs food, and growing that food on Mars seems like an obvious choice at first glance. But reliably growing food on Mars requires some fairly sophisticated technology: LED lighting, fine automatic control of atmospheric gasses (otherwise the O₂ from the plants would rapidly become a huge fire risk), similar for the water, refrigeration, and an extra large power plant to run it all. Up until now it looked like it would be cheaper to make regular shipments of food and water from Earth to Mars than it would be to make regular shipments of spare parts to keep all of that machinery working. A 50% increase in calories per square foot means that you only need 67% as much machinery, and therefore only 67% as many spare parts.

Even if this created no other benefits, which I find hard to believe, it would be worth it just for a successful Mars mission.
These comments are ridiculous. Have any of you people saying these things ever actually lived in Texas? Minimum wage chain store employees are not carrying guns. I would discourage you from trying to rob someone's actual house, sure. My wife once called me home to say she thought someone was in the house, and I cleared every single room with an AR-15, and you can believe I would have shot an intruder without a second thought. But a convenience store? No one is taking it personally enough to shoot you for stealing corporate property. If anything, the employees are probably the people most likely to be doing the stealing.
Of course it's not as good as MacOS + Apple headphones but I think more recent Linux distros that use PipeWire as the audio backend are ahead of Windows. On Windows, A2DP support is so limited that headsets like the Sony XM4s suffer from worse latency and sound quality, particularly terrible mic quality, while on Kubuntu everything works out of the box with the same quality you get when paired with a phone. There's still the issue of unstable drivers that break out of nowhere and require rebooting for Bluetooth to work again, but Windows has the same problem on my laptop.
> but options are more fluid

Not always at medium-big startups. It is fixed depending on the position.

I have worked at like 6 different companies now from 20-1400 people. Smaller companies definitely have some flexibility but its usually a cash vs equity conversation.
Thank you for the info depth response. I am credentialed and experienced at picking up things across domains so I might kick it around a bit - as far as it dove tails with computational quantum mechanics at least.

Could be interesting to look at the interface between quantum and classical chemistry… …And look at the interface between molecular dynamics and continuum FEM.
Apple “Lets wait another 3-4 months and work on a better PR campaign”

No plans to drop these features
That’s also bullshit. This went into the stats here. Thus is data.
I'm pretty confident that Adobe came to this conclusion a long time ago.
I've dealt with most of the issues in TFA and in comments here. Without engaging too much in the technicalities, I would offer that most of these issues actually stem from leadership, or lack thereof, and most often, at the middle management level, but sometimes middle management issues are just covering up upper management issues. Generally, I see these kinds of issues more often in non-technical management presiding over technical teams, because they have learned all the correct propitations to upper management and all the buzzword bingo for their teams, but lack a real understanding, and more importantly, lack the ability to form a coherent and actionable vision to correct these kinds of issues. (pet peeve issue with middle management is when they push others out of the interview process, and suddenly you have hires that don't belong at all.)

As for me, I'm currently watching a good devops team go down the drain because of a bad manager, so I'm seriously considering trying to move to management so I can help my employer do better.
Can confirm. The oyster mushroom kits sold are Lowe’s and Home Depot are fun, nearly foolproof, and much more delicious than any mushrooms I’ve bought at the grocery store.
Also, when you hire from within at some point you still have to bring in a new employee to fill the vacuum, so you end up doing more work.

It's worth doing right as most work is, but managers want fast solutions and typically are not incentivized to take their time.
Eh, IDK. The Arch and Ubuntu experience are very far apart for me, especially as far as hardware support goes (beyond just kernel drivers, I mean - lots of devices need userland utilities to support their functionality, things like remote scanning for instance). They are different OSes that happen to share a kernel, but that's it. Even the userland close to the kernel can be very different.
Why is noto a no-go for games? License?
And in the longer term- it builds stronger incentives for employees.

Most devs, if HN is any indication, believe that jumping ship every 1-2 years is the best way to move up. But if you have senior devs who were juniors at the same company just a few years ago, you'll probably be more likely to stick around.
Yeah, my (very frank and helpful!) internal career counselor told me, whatever the CEO and promotional materials from HR say, be prepared for moving between groups to be much harder than moving within one, there will be bad blood afterwards, especially with how uncertain hiring was due to covid (18 months ago). If I transferred across the company, that would fulfill that groups req, without guaranteeing that the group I left would get one (since a non-official hiring freeze was in place). When I quit that job I noticed they started hiring for my position like 4 months later, so it did take them a while to get a req.
They told me that they consulted with two "inmigration agencies" (I did not even knew that there existed such a thing), I would guess that they are experts in these issues.

My main weak point of entry is that I was applying to a consulting job in Data Science, and as such, it is not really possible to argue that there is no-one else left in the EU to take the job. Having a degree from the ETH indeed helps, but it wasn't enough.

They have enforced quotas per canton, which means that once filled, no-one else is getting in. Furthermore, Swiss bureacracy is the most strict one I have seen in my life, so there is no much wiggle room to bend the rules.
They do! They’re really good at their job but definitely slows down releases.

Then again, the entire point is to release after all the bugs are fixed, not to get all the bugs into production as quickly as possible :)
Boosting has been going on since the 90's in NYC. Back in the day i used to work on 34th/7th ave in NYC s selling leather jackets in a rinky-dink store about 500 square fee. The boosters came in groups some from Brooklyn some from uptown. They would boost across the street from Macy's and sell the stolen goods right across the street or on the streets. They would go store to small shops and sell Georgio armani , versace to the employees who worked there and to tourists on the streets ( those brands where hot back then) some boosters even started taking orders,. there were independent operators( not with the pack) and others who would roll with the pack. Each booster specialized in boosting a product. Some would only do designer clothing while others would lift electronics and they would sell to tourists on the street or store clerks working in shops, I even bought a nice Armani suite from them one day. They had figured out how to beat all security alarms in macy's and someone then figured out that you could return what you stole from Macy’s without a receipt during the holidays so boosters then started to return what they stole back to Macy’s and Macy’s would cut them a check for it. This was around 1995. Some boosters tried to lift stuff from the store I was working in and I had to go and stop them , one time we had throw down right in front of our store to get the leather jackets back. I even had to go run after a few. Macy’s security guards can’t do jack. The cops had more important things todo I guess. The boosters would grab and bag and just run out the door and into the train and vanish. They had some aluminum foil around the bag they put the stuff in so the alarms did not go off. They would go downtown. Uptown and after the city got to HOT they started going to the suburban malls. It was like a syndicate. I guess it’s still happening now.
The password protecteded zip would be scanned? gog encrypted files decrygpted? I think you are missing parent's point.
> "Everyone and their uncle knows everything in the cloud is scanned unless it's encrypted before being uploaded."

And that's what Apple has announced. Comparing that to:

> "No other company is scanning for CSAM on your phone"

Suggests that you think the Apple system is scanning more than what you upload to the cloud, which it isn't. Or, less charitably, suggests you /want people to think it is/. Your other comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28405476 suggests the same. And your comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28405502 the same again.
Well done, screeching voices!
My impression is that some parts of Windows force animations to play out fully (probably not allowed to skip keyframes?) instead of real-time. So when something is animated, and the connection is bad, it takes ages for the animation to finish. Also, animations stay enabled in the first place in some places when using RDP is a bug in itself. This seems to be mostly the case in Microsofts own UWP apps. I distinctly remember the pain of the "!&§/$+ Edge full-screen logon "make me your browser already" nag, it literally took five minutes for that dumb IE-to-edge logo animation to play, blocking the entire desktop while doing so.
Does the microphone work in your headphones? Let me know what model I'll check it out.
I knew some of them before they started using it. It’s almost entirely the cannabis. Including the dude now in psychiatric care after it kicked his schizophrenia hard.

Everyone was promoted it as harmless. It’s not. I’m seeing lives wrecked.

And yes I know alcohol is bad. But I see less long term damage from that as most people seem to grow out of alcoholism I have know. Cannabis not so much - it becomes the primary thing they live for and around. All conversation ends up on it.
If array were, say, uint32_t* then what `*(array + i)` would do is actually `(intptr_t)array + i * 4` and not `(intptr_t)array + i`. If array were uint16_t* then it's `(intptr_t)array + i * 2`. In short the way the pointer arithmetic gets translated greatly depends on the type of the pointee and thus is not as primitive as it can be.
Seems like misinformation pays
You may be right that, for now, that's where its mostly clearly stated..but..

I don't do much IP personally, but I'm familiar enough to have seen that a lot of people, even judges, don't always draw those technical clear lines between different types of IP. So, going both ways -- it's not unthinkable that someone would try to

1) apply this reasoning but with copyright and/or

2) claim (if flimisily) that this is trademark infringement, despite it not exactly fitting with how the law is supposed to work.
I'm going to guess that some/many of your cards have a high cognitive load - not just a question of recall, but perhaps solving a problem/proving a theorem. Or even stating a complex theorem can take time.

I solved this problem by having two separate decks. One that is purely quick recall, where if you know the answer you'll flip through the card in seconds. The other deck is the high cognitive load one, where it may take, say, a minute or longer for some cards.

I review the "quick" deck daily - it takes perhaps 5 minutes. It's hard to convince yourself you can't spare 5 minutes.

The other deck I do less frequently - perhaps target once a week, and block out time on your calendar for it?
