I couldn't disagree with Drew more on this. It is ridiculous to rely on unpaid third parties to get your software distributed. I can't count the number of times I've wanted to install software that isn't in the repo, or is a horrifically out of date version. You know what is more important than software that's perfectly secure? Software that you can actually use.

> You can take advantage of all of this innovation and research for the low price of zero dollars by standing back and letting distros handle the distribution of your software.

If someone packages your software, if they don't change anything, and if they keep it up to date. All three frequently fail to happen. What do you expect for free?
My position is that the society should decide if something (e.g. denying the holocaust) is punishable. If it is, then we should implement laws against it (as e.g. Germany has done) and punish people for it after establishing their guilt with due process and with the level of the punishment we collectively have decided. And if it is not, well, then people shouldn't be punished until the laws do get changed.

I.e. I'm think that making someone unemployable or outcast as a harsh (and perhaps even "cruel and unusual") punishment which should happen only for things the society has explicitly forbidden, and after we have properly established that the accused is actually guilty. Obviously, it's not the situation right now in USA (at least not in the at-will states), where employers have a wide (IMHO too wide) discretion of what they will tolerate for non-job-related acts of employees after work; some will fire antivaxxers, some will fire pro-vaxxers; some will fire holocaust deniers; some will fire people for having an OnlyFans account; etc. (and, crucially, they'll fire them for assuming they are like this, which won't always be true).

IMHO this discretion needs to stop, as it the case in some countries with different employment laws. And if we do want to have a harsher treatment for some of those things (e.g. holocaust denial is a good example) than for others, then that distinction should be decided in laws by the whole society, not unilaterally by company owners.
Completely agree.

My gripe with ES is that it won't let you do post-pass filtering at all. If you create an index with a few keyword fields indexed and then some unindexed fields, you can't query the unindexed fields.

Grafana's Loki seems to be exactly what we are looking for, although I haven't played with it.

It would require a cohesive central government and good planning, neither of which we have.

On the East Coast you’d need to exercise eminent domain to make it work. As it so happens, a high speed line would run through a lot of seriously wealthy neighborhoods. These are the wealthiest and most politically-connected areas of the country.

On the West Coast, you have A LOT of big mountains and rugged terrain, the likes of which you don’t see in the Northern European plain, and also, some other seriously wealthy (and NIMBY) neighborhoods. There are a lot of people who resisted building the BART through the peninsula and Marin. Caltrain’s already got people suiciding on it all the time, and they needed to build the high speed line through it. The commuter infrastructure isn’t really there.
Anyone that's used Splunk for any amount of time will feel like they are in a straightjacket with ES.

Anyone stuck paying for Splunk will think they probably should be.

How exactly do you expect to build an EV without ICs? We’ve already tried cars without ICs, they’re noisy polluters. You talk about sustainability like we weren’t pumping carbon into the atmosphere before computers.

Also maybe your job is such that you can get by with and old power hungry cpu like the core 2 duo, most people can’t.
I am so happy this was finally released. This update fixed a few major memory leaks they were having in the last release. I love Inkscape but that was unbearable. There was a problem with the color droplet tool, simply moving it around increased your memory usage by folds. A smaller one that became annoying overtime was simply dragging objects around on the grid. The nightly build had that one fixed awhile back but my OS didn't seem to want to play ball with it so I just ended up having to deal with these issues, now I hopefully don't have to.
No, it absolutely is not.
> Do we really need to produce more IC's ?

In this case, it's not so much about more ICs (although we do need more right now), but it's who's making the ICs. The US is trying to ramp up their internal production capability, rather than depending on Taiwan as heavily.
by analogy, when companies make claims that their products are something they're not, they are responsible.

Number 2 is huge for anyone considering the option of a PhD. My supervisors did not have a good track record and it is likely this is why my PhD burnt out into a Masters. They were amazing people, smart and hard working, but they just had no ability to nurture students into future scientists. I am still in science, but not on a career path up the ladder.
That’s an interesting example, that’s exactly where you’re likely to find bugs - at boundary values. You should test those more than you should test the number 5.

This is exactly why unit testing gives a false sense of security. You’ve done a lot, you’ve written all kinds of tests - but at the end of the day, you don’t get a proportionate amount of confidence about the code because there are infinite more cases that you haven’t thought about.

A basic knowledge of electricity. 100-200mA will kill you.

https://academic.oup.com/ptj/article-abstract/46/9/968/46379...

I have heard people say "that can't be right, because a car battery can source 100+ amps and touching those terminals doesn't kill me!" The reason is because you have a high enough impedance that 100mA doesn't flow from a 12V source through your body.
Agreed, I switched to call this morning and quickly realised I was banging my head against a brick wall, I gave up the fight we were having (the guy didn't understand something very basic) and switched to doing some actual work.

Surely water is more strategically important than chips? It's just that chips are scarcer and thus easier to deny an enemy. If an enemy had the choice to deny one of the two resources, water would be the better strategic choice.
My thinking is that good security configuration makes fail2ban redundant. With password authentication disabled and strong keys, it’s not clear to me what the threat is that fail2ban offers to protect against.
Nice to see some advocacy for brave here. With the built-in crypto turned off (not for me), it’s a really nice browsing experience that has done a good job keeping up with upstream improvements in chromium.

About the field limit, an application shouldn't have more than 1000 fields in their structured logging.

Usually when this happens is because the source uses what could be considered user input as keys, for example in access logs with stuff such as headers o query parameter, and you make a new field for each header or query parameter. In the latter case all you need to exhaust your available fields in the index is some nasty bot trying random query strings on your site.
This can be easily solved in the ingest/logstash pipeline

It is true that you have to spend time to carefully map and process the documents you're ingesting in elasticsearch, but once you do I don't think there's any other solution with the same performance and features for logs, especially considering the licensed features (like alerting from anomaly detection machine learning jobs)

The elastic stack is complex and might be hard to grasp (their own training courses are a great help though), requires significant computing resources, and managing a big deployment can be a full time job, but once implemented correctly you can do awesome stuff with it.

Loki is a simpler and slower solution which does less things, so if you don't need what elastic provides, it could be a better fit as it's probably easier to manage
How popular is this feature to send emails from fail2ban? I haven't heard about it until now, and I think I'd have a very noisy inbox if my fail2ban setup sent me mails about every blocked IP.

Miners can't just take money out of your account without your consent. That would require a change to how the protocol works.

The "average" chip fab uses about as much water as 3 "average" irrigated center pivot farms. If the fab land was previously irrigated farm land, this will be a net savings of water.

Math:

130 acres at 0.25 inches of water = 10 million gallons of water. Done once per week for 3 farms = 4.3m gallons per day.

Average chip fab uses 2-4 million gallons per day
I have worked as a research assistant in two labs in different areas of medical biology. Much of what I do is act as a helper and interface for the PhD students and PostDocs. There is a lot of diversity in PhD students! They also face some incredible challenges, especially the ones who are studying internationally and have to worry about getting kicked out of the country when they finish.

I had an unsuccessful PhD due to poor project planning. It led to pretty severe burnout which I am lucky to have recovered well from. But it is good to share that there is life to be lived after quitting a PhD. I still encourage PhD students to pursue science, but I do so with a word of caution and a note that there are alternatives to the sick system that is academia.

That's fair! But you know your workplace and you know what a union could look like. The union I was in paid a little bit to a national parent union, and got a lot more than we paid for when it came to legal representation in a contract dispute, training, etc. And all the local leadership was entirely volunteer.

Still, the vast majority of workers in the U.S. don't have much exposure to what the tradeoffs even could be, so as to even make a decision. And frankly, for the folks here on HN, it's not especially surprising that a union isn't a priority. But there are a lot of people who would be grateful for things like consistent week-to-week scheduling, health coverage, fair dispute resolution, etc., and don't even know that there are peer workplaces that have all those things thanks to a union.

Is there a point at which we are adding more complexity and increasing the potential bug surface area?

Not at all convinced. It takes a lot of work to organize a workplace, and a lot of people are skeptical of unions—for some good reasons, and some bad ones.
