You have to be careful here.

A lot of things will fall through the cracks if people don't pick up.

Professionals are not hourly workers, you're not there to do A->B, you're there to deal with the complexity, which means picking up pieces.

That said - you definitely do not have to worry about stuff. A healthy sense of detachment is actually kind of good for both you and your employer.

Your job is a civic responsibility, it's frankly moral to do a 'good job' - but that doesn't mean 'over striving', it doesn't mean 'being taken advantage of' and it doesn't mean having to worry about the bigger picture. That's definitely not your job.

I think a lot of people could be just as productive if they figured out the emotional strain part.

One little trick is to say to yourself 'I Don't Care' - but then go in the office, and put one foot in front of the other, and just get whatever is in front of you done. It's weirdly liberating and can be productive.

Like 'corporate mindfulness' - be present in the thing that you're trying to do - and not caught up in the giant hill of politics, bits and pieces, it's just noise.

Do your job well, go home, and forget about it.
To address a few points made here... this isn't about frontline mobile bases or airplanes or ships. This is about "what if... we have a main base located somewhere with poor supply lines?" In other words, something like Afghanistan.

In Afghanistan, shipping fuel in was extremely expensive resulting in costs of $400/gallon (~$100/liter) at the destination[1]. At that level of shipping costs, electrical generation is so expensive that it makes sense to investigate small-scale reactors to see if they could make economic sense.

Same, my Plex pass says "comped" because I reported a security bug to them. In my experience the security bug reporting process is super painful. Most devs are super arrogant about how their code couldn't possibly be vulnerable, it must be something else. Plex took the bug report, immediately agreed it was an issue they should fix, fixed it, and without promoting comped my Plex pass for life. 10/10 would report again.

The UI is great, transcoding and playback on a myriad of devices just works, sharing with other people is a few clicks. To me Plex is the perfect example of the Jim Gaffigan joke; everything is amazing and everyone is miserable.
Wonder is it's related to the AWS's Degraded EBS Volume Performance in Northern Virginia? https://status.aws.amazon.com/
I am somewhat dismissive, not of the process but of the end outcome itself.

Industrial scale carbon capture only makes sense, if we are going sequester it and remove the carbon from the ecosystem. If we are just going to make fuel/food out of it, it would make no difference to our Climate woes, other than perhaps buy us some time.

I guess, that's still better than what we have, but I can't help think of these as half measures.
I don’t need studies, I have a number of friends and family who are doctors and nurses.

You completely missed my point, which is that it is ridiculous for tech companies to compare themselves to a profession that faces literally life and death situations. Comparing to “the past year” (i.e. a historic global pandemic) just highlights the absurdity.

Your OKRs are not COVID patients!

Ask HN: Why would dictionary attacks work at all these days?
This is coming from a place of ignorance. It's not a challenge to the status quo because I think I'm smart. But a dictionary attack starts with a list of common passwords and applies them successively to the same username, correct? So why doesn't the authentication framework just add a heavy cost to the IP address for each failed attack?

For example, add a 1 second penalty preventing the code from logging in on failure, then a 2 second penalty, a 4 second penalty, and so on? If it were me struggling to remember a password I'd barely notice, but if it were automated code running it would quickly become infeasible.

My only guess as to why this doesn't work is that IP addresses are actually network addresses, which means that if everyone in my building is on Comcast then everyone would in the building would be prevented from logging in. But that doesn't make a lot of sense because ad tracking mechanisms are brilliant at fingerprinting individual machines, which means a authentication code could use a similar strategy, right?
The most important aspect for me is getting the strategic boundaries right; the way a company is organized might not be the most optimal, so getting deep into the business and data, and at least trying to get the high-level architecture right before starting your first line of code would be my best advice.

After that, I tend to make a distinction between inherent complexity and accidental complexity.

If it has inherent complexity, I tend to spend extra time at the whiteboard to make sure I have the best possible model based on the info I have at that point in time, and I also refactor relentlessly.

For everything else, I try to make the code easy to throw away and replace. Typically things start out simple and grow more complex after a while. Trying to retrofit a proper model usually costs more effort than a rewrite.

For me, spending over a decade deep in the domain-driven design (DDD) community has proven to be the best investment I ever made in that area. However, as DDD is getting more popular, I noticed the emergence of echo chambers and some "beginner expert" thought leaders who are starting to teach before truly understanding DDD, and others relentlessly productizing and pushing their offerings, so make sure you only engage with experts who really care.
(A good heuristic to detect a beginner expert tends to be someone who uses too much DDD lingo, but YMMV)
It does wonders, only care for the team.

Employers most of the time only care about the management board goals, employee of the year can quickly turn into a jobless employee, given the way company roadmaps work in practice.
That’s not a scenario most people need to worry about.
Ask HN: Is there an SSH based port forwarding service
...that would allow me to host a domain and point it to an under privileged port on a linux server?

I have a free user account at https://tilde.club (i can run a node service on port 8081 for example) but I'm wondering if I can point a domain to that point via some 3rd party service.
It’s h1-n but its hierarchy was determined by semantic parent structure rather than its own declaration. IIRC you could use similar semantics to the existing h-tags within a given hierarchy with an attribute. And I’m pretty sure this lived through some of the early HTML5 process, but ultimately didn’t make it through.
Can you refine the categories of projects you work on, and associate certain workflows with them? “Oh this is a ‘heavy PII data’ pipeline, I need my PII tool kit for this.” (Edit: I mean, for yourself, not here in this thread right now)

I’m basing this on how, when I want to learn about a new thing, I have the most success when I start by googling, “What kinds of _____ are there?” Just seeing the categories of the thing I’m trying to learn there are helps me a lot.

So maybe developing your own descriptive language for the kinds of projects you generally undertake would be a … well, now I’m just circling back to the documentation thing.

You seem like you’ve got your stuff together!
Just because people agreed with initial "2 week snap lockdowns", doesn't mean they still agree with never-ending lockdowns, curfews and closed borders (even for vaxxed / negative test people).

Many people have family interstate. There is no end in sight to lockdowns because the measures they use are case-based, not vaccination, despite what we're being told.

The states with zero cases don't want to accept the endemic reality of Covid. They are enjoying their Oasis too much.
It’s quite easy to explain too, when talking about frequencies you just have to mention high and low pass filters.
Don't jump through hoops to defend this company.

This device spies on your files for "CSAM" or whatever, but you think it's going out on a limb to save you when the screen breaks?

Security theater. But in all honestly it's just a ploy to sell you more garbage that you don't own and can't repair yourself.
Great idea. I could never remember the incantations of matplotlib. Always copy pasting the boilerplate from SO.

The plt import variable looks more like a global var than a class instance, is this good design?
It's a balance. I think most people care too much about their employer's goals. The heresy is that you can't just say "Well, I don't care about my employer's goals," or else you'll be facing some negative reviews.

The trick is to make it a mental shift. Here's a concrete example: Suppose you were coordinating with some large bank that takes a very long time to do anything. Should you feel bad that most of your day is spent waiting for them? Should you proactively go out of your way to find extra work for yourself?

I don't think so. You waiting for Big Bank is the business goal. But most people will tell their manager "I have nothing to do; please find me more work" (in so many words).

There's no reason to stress yourself out like that. Some would say you'd be doing the bare minimum. I would say that you'd be fulfilling your business obligations, and that you'd be acting professionally.

Most people won't have such direct opportunities to minimize their workload. But they often maximize their own workload for no reason, until their managers practically force them to take time off. (Or they don't, which is worse.)
Louis Rossmann talks about mistakes and halting harmful rumination
I have discovered so much more music in recent years than I did in record stores (I'm an age that straddles the line between CDs, iTunes and streaming - iPod generation?), mostly through YouTube. One video leads to another, leads to a comment, leads to a blog post ... I love it! I can lose hours exploring music this way.

Equally, I can see how collecting had been ruined by the Internet. In fact, I rarely even collect what music I discover, since access is so easy on-demand. And who is satisfied by a stamp collection in a world with eBay etc?

Perhaps collection has been replaced by curation?

I think it's slowly shifting. ios is attractive to developers because people pay for apps.

ios is attractive to the masses because, among other reasons, the people who can afford to pay for apps use it.

More increasingly, that seems to be changing, thankfully. I just wish the world had a better alternative than Android. It's hard to protest an overstep of Apple by giving money to Google.
Most secure would be for the device to go up in flames as soon as it detects any tampering. I sure wouldn't want to own such a device that could never be repaired.
There is an extremely well written doc on the Plex site about how to handle this exact situation. There are lots of shows like this (Babylon 5 is another example) and it works great if you follow the simple instructions.

What's the Big Dream at FAANG these days? What "greater goal" is there at Facebook in 2021? Or Amazon? I mean sure, if you want to switch off your moral compass and make lots of money, go you, I guess, but it sounds almost cultish at this point to still believe that there's a higher purpose to working for these companies.
Career is something imposed by companies where HR cannot phantom why people like to keep doing what they love, instead of being endless promoted until they aren't fit for the position.
So you are going to put the fissile material which operates at muti megawatts in a briefcase and carry it away?

Disregarding the health and safety issues of the briefcase carrier the briefcase is sure to turn into a pile of molten radioactive sludge very quickly.
I think the most present danger for books and preservation efforts today is of course deletion of digital records, but for books we have more printed copies everywhere than ever.

But, the danger is really high that they will be all thrown out alongside of the yellowed Harry Potter books.
I’d suspect that productivity gains are just masked by more complex construction.

A friend bought a house constructed in the 50’s in the Bay Area. The wall was just boards on the outside, tar paper and drywall on the inside.

Today, you’d have an vapor barrier, potentially foam insulation board, pink insulation in the cavity, special flashing, composite material for outside, etc.

So sure, we’re not that much more efficient when building when measured by time, but I’d argue the buildings are way better.
Nested DIVs also describe a tree but apparently that's too difficult to do with lambda calculus.
Very impressive! I tried variations of “bom four day forecast” but no hits - is bom.gov.au indexed ?
You also had someone providing for you and covering all of your costs. Once you leave the carefree comforts of childhood and join the rat race the rules change.
G'MIC (which is available as a gimp plugin) has the exact same reversible fourier transform as a layer in it as the Fiji software he referenced. You can do the exact same operations from the article (or any other edits/blurs/selections to the peaks).

It's a bit cumbersome since you can't preview what you're doing, but quite workable. Was trying it out on his reference image this evening and got (IMO nicer) results fiddling with magic wand/fuzzy select/grow/shrink and various fills.
"Meddling" with Russian elections is a pretty strong statement, they just followed what Apple and Google did, and there was lots of discussion on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28655937

Telegram is not E2E encrypted by default, so the other comment makes sense.
A while ago there were reports that they try to restore papyri-turned-charcoal from Pompeyi.

The problem with books buried in Rome is, that Rome isn't exactly a desert with natural conditions to preserve books.

I believe it has been more specifically inspired by this tutorial on this website https://tympanus.net/codrops/2017/05/09/infinite-tubes-with-...
The website is terrible on mobile and the theming/branding also doesn’t inspire confidence. To me it conjures the idea of people stuck in their way.

Then again, don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

No less secure than the regular OS, which always allows you to use the passcode rather than the FaceID.
Even if true, that’s irrelevant to the question asked?
You can get rich winning the lottery. Both are purely chance.
Yes, I still need to fix the highlighting for it, which I think is causing the issues for the men at work issue. Something I am aware off and when I get some time will resolve.

I have seen common crawl. It's one of those things I should look into more when I get the time. Honestly thats the limiting factor for everything I do these days.
For what it is worth, creating an account on the matrix home instance using app.element.io or the matrix android app (haven't tried ios, but I assume it is the same) takes literally 3 clicks. Click register, select the matrix home server, type in your desired username, password, and recovery email (no phone # required or even requested) and click register.

The one part I see people struggle with is transferring keys across devices which is slightly convoluted (your keys are not stored on the matrix home server--for obvious reasons) but there are wizards to help you install your keys to a new device and for most use cases with phones completely unnecessary since you will always be using the same device.
It's because they don't have a HTTPS cert. I limited to just HTTPS in the interest of keeping everything easier to work with.

I might break that rule for bom though. Although I wish they would just let myself add a cert for them. I'll even do it for free if they let me!
For myself, I can tell with certainty that having small child and bigger one is massive differences in terms of how much time I have for other things. In general, women are more likely to be primary care giver, so this can make difference.

You can view directories, you just have to switch to folder view. It isn't a great directory browser though and that view isn't always sticky so YMMV.
All the MVNO’s use the networks of the 3 companies that own the mobile networks. You just get prioritized lower in times of network congestion.

I also have not had a contract with ATT in a decade. I just buy my phones from Apple or Google and pop my ATT SIM in them (or not even that nowadays due to eSIMs). And ATT might have done a credit check on me back in 2008, but I do not recall seeing them on my credit report ever so they must only check it once and then never again assuming you keep paying on time.
> I saw something about when you travel near speed of light, lengths appear to contract

"Appear" in this context, though, doesn't mean "what you actually see". What you actually see is an apparent rotation of an object moving by you at relativistic speed. This is called Penrose-Terrell rotation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrell_rotation

Note also that the effect is only along the direction of relative motion; appearances transverse to the relative motion are unchanged.

> Maybe the lights becoming lines is just based on long exposure in photography of moving lights.

I think the "lights becoming lines" in sci-fi depictions is based on a Newtonian picture of what things would look like if you were moving through a space filled with stars at a speed much faster than light. Which of course has nothing to do with actual physics as we understand it today.
Simplicity. Build granular parts that can be assembled in various ways. This way, when there's a seismic shift in requirements, you can hopefully just rearrange some of the parts instead of starting over from scratch. Beaches aren't really affected by earthquakes.

Overarching frameworks and patterns work well when you know ahead of time what you're building; unopinionated granules work well when you don't.
There have been various movements that have advocated for the use of pinyin as a primary writing system, for the same reason that Beijing replaced Traditional script with Simplified.

It's a free service with no actual income stream, driven by donations. What do you expect?

I don't think we have the right to hold them to high standards because you get what you pay for. Signal has always been a bad choice for messaging in practice. In theory it's really secure and all, in practice, they have security issues that don't get fixed and no real reason to provide a quality service.
Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future. YAGNI.

It feels stupid to not have any pattern or theory or code reuse, but when there is insufficient data, the null hypothesis is the best guess.

I think: have confidence that you're doing the right thing. Write the code in the most obvious way to do what's needed - the least theory, model, pattern. That will be easy to read - as documentation for later.

Eventually, you may have seen enough of the problem (or part of it) to be confident you understand it. Then you can throw away and rewrite that part. Probably, even trying to adapt the old code is not worth it - more efficient to start fresh.
And hopefully that overhyped bubble will soon burst..
I agree with everything you've written except "misunderstands the teaching", I think they've ignored the teaching and instead decided to investigate what they think the teaching is without having researched the teaching. Misunderstanding would be understandable and easier to forgive.

Preconception certainly is a terrible affliction!

Also that law is applicable to certified mass media like TV, radio, magazines, news papers e.t.c., but not social media, chats, apps, forums e.t.c.
Everyone commenting with "security" is missing the point (and hasn't watched the first minute of the video). In previous versions of the iPhone the screen was not part of the FaceID system and could be independently replaced. The sensor/cable/motherboard were all still cryptographically paired and secure. This is a brand new limitation in iPhone 13.
Not necessarily, you have competing theories based on the same kind of logic - it is just that every theory would be based on different set of postulates and will reside in a different logical space (i.e. a different category). But the fact that that two theories don't agree with each other does not mean that one of them is illogical. Actually, I'd argue that they have to both be logical in order not to agree with each other at all i.e. logic is the common ground which enables you to express the differences.

Also, I do think that physics is pretty axiomatic right from it's roots. Newton's main inspiration for forming his theory is the work of Euclid, i.e. first formal system that was ever created.
For casual messaging, Telegram is fantastic. Actual multi-session clients across devices. No Electron. Truck loads of features and thoughtful touches everywhere. It's easily the slickest and if you're looking to have friends and family who don't have a lot of patience for technical issues actually convert and stay converted, it's the only one I've found to do the trick.

Searching through your messages by type, really good video messaging, voice messaging, video chats, and the best stickers on any platform.

It doesn't do E2EE by default (you need to manually flip on Secret Chats) and group chats are not E2EE at all, both of which make it HN kryptonite because apparently E2EE everywhere, by default, is the only thing that matters even though there are technical trade-offs to an E2EE-everywhere model. I appreciate I can flip on Secret Chats when I need them but do wish it was an option in group chats.

I selfhost a Matrix homeserver: it's nowhere near ready for primetime and misses a lot of those thoughtful touches less technical people appreciate. If you do want to try to onboard people to Matrix with the Element client (and be very careful because you only get one, maybe two shots with your friends and family before they go back to whatever they were using before) use Mozilla's homeserver for its vastly better performance and option of SSO sign-on.

Please don't make people out to be weird, primitive aliens when it's completely untrue. If you had ever read any of the numerous ethnographies out there, you'd know that they gossip, tell stories, joke, and complain like any other people. Special emphasis on the complaining and joking, because those tend to be important social behaviors. 'resource-related' discussion happens mainly during work hours and then it's still not the majority of discussion in the numbers I've seen.
