Yes, I know but the reason they did take on the publishers was to fill the void of the closed libraries, who had books (and licences) but could not lend them as they were not open... I looked at the appreciation page of the emergency library during this whole mess, where they asked for use cases of their users and the overwhelming (anecdotal) tone was use for learning, uni, work and less free time - not that that would be a prob. But I understand the curiosity of why they took on publishers and looked into it when publishers first sent out the press release that they would sue... that is what I came up with after looking into it a bit... but interested in other views naturally :)
The Master System (gen 1) was the only videogame I had during my childhood.

The memories of Alex Kidd, Sonic, Shinobi, and the secret Sega snail game are still fresh decades later. Good times.

I reject the notion entirely that we "have to" view ads. Advertisements are nothing less than an unwelcome intrusion into my life. Further, I'd rather know that any ads I see are the same exact ads as seen by anyone else in the same space.

Having said that, I agree that _another_ core issue is the data collection and privacy issues. Certainly, viewing advertisers as the value-subtracting rent-seekers as I do, I wish for them to know as little as possible about the world in general and about me specifically.
I strongly agree with the title sentimment. Strongly!

But, I'll add this - work at a company first, full time, for as long as you find it rewarding. Maybe several years at least? ... the longer the better. Bonus for each promotion you receive, primarily b/c of different levels of responsibility and leadership that places you in.

I think that's key to getting the most out of independent consulting, for 2 reasons:

First, b/c fresh out of college or early in your career, you still don't know what you don't know. That makes learning w/out benefit of teammates, mentors, interactions with other teams (Customer Success, Sales, Marketing, etc.), quite dangerous. Without that wide array of awareness and guidance on a regular basis, it's easy to form bad habits. And bad habits attained during one's formative years can be long-term or hard to break.

And second, b/c every engineer needs to experience what it's like to maintain and improve a product for years on end. E.g. while I didn't recognize it at the time, I believe time I spent with a product for 3 of its generations proved to be one of the best learning environments I've had as a software engineer. That kind of timeline provides first-hand experience to the long-tail of product decision making. It provides long experiential lessons in best practices like automated testing, a structured dev process, engaging in customer feedback, team culture & cohesiveness, etc. And b/c I was with the same cohort of employees for so long, and saw how leadership could fluctuate, I also found it helped develop my intuition for effective leaders.

All said, I wouldn't have gotten as much out of consulting if I wasn't backed w/prior experience. From an engineering standpoint, I was able to hit the ground running since I already had years of experience developing software. Soft-skills gained during that same time translated directly and immediately to client relationships. I also felt fortunate and well prepared to handle longer-term needs and concerns from bigger clients (Fortune 100/500), some of which I still maintain relationships with.

Show HN: Hybrid game/online-class to learn the fundamentals of blockchain
Hello hackers, I’m really proud to announce that we’re launching Blockchain Battle, an online class to learn the fundamentals of blockchain and cryptocurrency in a fun and engaging way.

Our goal is to get help the general public understand important topics in science in technology through games.

This project started as a game that we showed at a few festivals in France. But we found a bunch interesting questions that we couldn’t address in the game. We decided that it would be fun to record videos to answer those questions, and then assemble them into an online class.

In the class, we ping-pong between levels of the game and the new videos, to get the best of both worlds. Here’s the trailer to give you a better idea of what I'm talking about:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74S0Cc5LaeM

I'd love any feedback you might have!

Best,
Jesse

PS: As a Hacker News reader, you might know this stuff already. But the goal is to help non-tech people get a grasp of how it works...
Great initiative, HTML is the way to go!

It would be great if you could add some basic CSS rules for print? Right now navigation elements are needlessly repeated on each page, obscuring the content.

Also, you forgot to include bold and italics webfonts, so you have faux-styles for all headings and emphasis.
I have some memories from early 90s Archimedes running a cam at a computer show. Pretty amazing I think it was showing about a frame every 1 to 2 seconds
You don't have to link to specific pull requests but mentioning that you have contributed to this and that project is definitely worthwhile.
They are also optimizing for superficial appeal to customer, not 100% functionality.
> Some parts of the project are mature (OSH language) but others are less mature (Oil language).

In a way you've placed the opposite of the bet of most of your 'colleagues' in the field of pioneering new shells. To me, the other way around is more tempting because novelty is fun for you, the developer, and innovation here is the main attraction. Not to mention that lots of people might've burned out in the 'Osh phase', as it were.

I hope that taking the long way around pays off for you, because I know it's been arduous! One advantage it might give Oil, given the attention you seem to pay to other projects in the same space, is that with the Oil language you can now also draw from other next-gen shell languages which have had opportunities to grow small communities and undergo revision in light of their use in the tome job were focusing on Osh.

I really like some of those other projects, so of course I hope there's a place for them going forward as well (maybe as my own login shell, even!). But I'd love to see Osh earn an installed-by-default place on some major operating systems/distributions some day, and in that way open the door to widely distributed shell scripts in a more modern shell language in Oil.

I look forward to really digging in to this new doc and writing some toy scripts. :)
Video games can be totally addictive, are you saying no one wad harmed by Fortnite or World of Warcraft? China is banning video games for kids because it became a national problem. What studies they did to reach that conclusion I don't know but I don't think it was baseless.

"But anti-prostitution activists like Hughes often use “sexual exploitation” to include any kind of prostitution or sex work—in fact, Hughes insists in her article that "trafficking occurs even if the woman consents.” "

Can someone explain that in simple(r) terms?
There is some really interesting history here. When we started moving into the prairies after the civil war, we also invented the modern timber-frame house which was shipped via railroads.

We soon learned that a simple timber frame with paneling on both sides meant the whole house was a collection of chimneys, which meant any fire would very quickly overwhelm the entire house.

So we came up with some building codes which said that the timber frame needed more side-trusses to act as firebreaks.

Note that this applies mostly to single and duplex home owners.
They have lousy kernel support, in the sense that they have a very small team that moves on to support the newer boards as soon as they come out and pretty much stops updating images for the old ones, leaving it to the “community”.

I have a tiny ODROID-U2 (that I love) running as my home automation controller for many years now, and I have kept it so by patching a lot myself.
Didn’t they get in big trouble for this not long ago?
No time? Can't people take vacation leave? Yeah it sucks that the time isn't spent on vacation, but you can't have everything in life without some cost.
The important part of your quote: "Meanwhile, BNT162b2-induced protection against hospitalization and death appears to persist with hardly any waning for at least six months following the second dose."

The vaccine reducing Covid symptoms to that of the common cold is a perfectly fine outcome IMO.
This is a very apt way to put it! I'm likely to adopt it into my own descriptions, thank you!

Advertisers should be relegated to their own greasy pit, to speak only at my pleasure and where I know to find them. Any other attempt to engage with me, anytime and anyplace else except where I explicitly permit them, is nothing less than an unwelcome intrusion. Begone, rent-seekers! Trouble us with your A/B tests no more.
Tons of things happened lately as well like traditional families collapsing and a huge spike in single parenting.
Also the smartphone.
I am not saying this has nothing to do with social media, I am saying this is probably really complicated.
Libertarian here! If you don't really care if you step on a few toes to make the world better overall...

Then we should still be on the same side of this issue. I mean say we hate the idea of sex work overall, and there are real problems we can point to that it causes. So we make it illegal. Now we have two problems. It certainly won't stop prostitution. And it's the prohibition that creates the pimps, makes sex workers unable to report crimes to the police, fosters the most unsafe conditions, increases the spread of diseases, creates corruption.

No one should support this prohibition.
They seem to be actively recruiting in the GMT time zone for various roles. However, they do contracting rather than FTE positions, so YMMV regarding fiscal details and various other accoutrements of a “normal” company.

Based on my own experience as both an employee (~10 years) and consultant (~5 years) in The Netherlands, I'd say in The Netherlands generally the more experienced, more skilled workers tend to go into consulting. Most consultants I worked with did deliver better results and seemed to be slacking less.

I attribute this to the following with regards to work culture in The Netherlands:

- developers mostly interested in job security or promoting into higher roles within a company stay employees

- developers who feel that as an employee they are underpaid with regards to their skills and abilities, these developers tend to move into consulting as it gives them more control over their income, since as a consultant they choose their own rates - these kinds of developers are likely not interested into management roles as well (or they might opt into consulting as PM, SCRUM master perhaps)

It makes sense that antibodies are discarded when they are not needed as the human body is rather efficient in that way.

Memory T and B cells are there for a reason.

Sure response time to an infection will be slightly longer but it will be way faster than finding a matching antibody the traditional way when the damage has been already done to your lungs.
Single family homeowners still don’t want to live in collapsing fire traps with railing short enough that their toddler can climb over. The building codes are also different for different building types. Not all hazards in a building will be obviously apparent to a layman.

How CompTIA Security+ Training can help you land a job?
CompTIA Security+ Certification Training is a security course that will
provide individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to develop a
thorough understanding of computer security, covering topics such as
installation, configuration and effective use of network protocols.

The security+ test is offered by CompTIA , and was developed in line with
international standards ISO / IEC 17024 . The security plus exam covers topics
such as installation, configuration and effective use of network protocols .
In addition to being a requirement for many jobs in the security sector ,
security + certification also provides an indication that its holder knows his
stuff.

In addition to security training online, security professionals also have several
security certifications available to them. The security+ test is one of
CompTIA's most well-known security certification exams . In fact, it is one of
the three main security certificates that are recognized worldwide (the other
two being CompTIA A+ and Network+

Doesn't that only apply to copy protection code? And you don't need to get into reverse engineering to make a client.
Go is really good and fun to write until you have to care how you write it. Adding sync.Pool, limiting concurrency, these are not some of my favourite things
Dealing with complex authentication and authorization frameworks is also hard. The solution to authentication and authorization is rarely picking a framework and then calling it a day. If you don't know how the framework works and what its failure modes are, you are likely to make some mistakes.

I was taught one useful thing about security: the triple gold (AU) standard; which refers to the need to do authentication, authorization, and auditing. People seem to always forget about the latter but it's actually equally important. If bad people try to get in, you need to know. If there's a security bug causing people to get in that shouldn't, you need to know. Etc. That's auditing. Being able to audit what happens and who is authenticated and authorized for what and why is important and quite often also a legal requirement.

I always start from that angle: so I need detailed security logs with context I can make sense of. I need observable software basically.

I've implemented custom role based security in various projects. It's not that hard but you need to understand some basic design patterns. Users have context. That context includes roles that are associated with privileges that have a particular scope in which they apply. It's basically the set of parameters that drive the calculation of which list of privileges this user has; which is a function that has to live somewhere and that needs to be tested extremely thoroughly.

You assign roles to users but you verify privileges. This keeps decouples user management from policy changes. The process of authorization is verifying that a given principal has the right privileges given their user context and the context of the privilege (the requested scope). The process of authentication is verifying the user's identity and then bootstrapping the user context.

If you use JWTs or similar technology, you can actually serialize that user context, sign it, and pass it around. That's why they are so popular in micro services. It also leads to an unfortunate tendency of developers to confuse authentication and authorization. Checking the signature is valid would be authenticating; using the signed information for granting or denying access would be authorizing.

Where it gets hard is that some authorization logic is conditional on things outside the user context. Like the request they are making, the time of day, some business context they have, or the state of a particular thing. This is where bad things happen when developers who don't understand this topic deeply get a little bit creative to meet the requirements.
Hep B is a 3 shot vaccine. One of the medical podcasts I listen to is speculating that maybe it was always going to take 3 shots with Covid.
I only realised this after working in an agency for my first job - I find it more satisfying to improve a product than to keep producing new products.
The line might be able to be drawn between devices which have support, or intend to have support and will accept applications/plans, for 3rd party software and those who don’t. By accepting third party software, the third party now becomes dependent upon (and in this case: a customer to) Apple. In these situations, the device producer has knowledge about and leverage over on-device application competitors which other third parties would not.
> Back then, I had stumbled upon some Wikipedia pages about category theory, but all the jargon seemed impenetrable at the time. Now, I really wish it had part of the curriculum from the very beginning.

It’s possible that the jargon would have seemed impenetrable to most students, and ,any students would have dropped out if they had done that.

I think you have to learn first that abstraction can be useful in math by learning that similarities exist between seemingly distinct structures.

It also just takes time for things to sink in. As one of my teachers said about analysis: “don’t worry if you can’t do the exercises. In six weeks time, look back at today’s exercises, and you’ll wonder how you ever found them difficult”
This is very important. Experts in the field I look up to only became experts because they learned from the consequences of their choices. Sometimes these consequences don't materialise until 5, 10, 20 years later.
This has been a deliberate destruction of a once great nation since the moment Kissinger sold the US out to Chairman Mao.

Don't have semiconductors? News to me. I bet if you studied CS and you know any electronics engineers (who should be not too far from your department) they'll know wafer fabs in the US. I haven't been in uni for ages and I know like three fabs in Colorado where I don't even live.

In fact, there are like famous semiconductor companies that make their stuff in the US. Makes me suspect the rest of the list as similar doomsaying.

I was always under the impression that consultants were some of the best in their field (that can be hired, at least), and therefore going into it fresh out of college just isn't feasible, let alone a bad idea. Though it sounds like I might be wrong.

Edit: It's pretty funny how me and the article takes this differently

"I always found this to be a stressful and not particularly honest arrangement. I’m not an expert, I’m just a guy who reads the docs. I didn’t like having to project an air of competence that I didn’t always feel."

I've always taken a situation feeling stressful and dishonest as I sign I shouldn't be there, but if this is just how it is, maybe its not as bad as I thought
Anecdata but my brother lives in a major Scottish city and cycles a lot.

He says that the biggest threat to his safety isn't traffic, it's people walking across the road looking at their phones. Often groups of them at the same time.

He reckons that when he's out cycling (and by this, I mean he cycles about 4 or 5 miles at most) he encounters at least 5 or 6 incidents on average.

I see it in the mornings when I walk my son to school. If I had to guess, I'd say more than 40% of the kids are looking at a phone.

I've also heard of some European cities putting traffic signals on the pavements so that phone users don't have to look up: I 100% disagree with this - They get killed? It's their fault!
