Then google it. Someone else already gave you an answer.

"I didn't know you could get free stuff on the internet?"

Like. There are *so many* answers

Every single one of these things can be gotten for free. Every single one.

In fact, all three of them can be gotten for free from Google, or from Microsoft

The third one isn't even a real thing. "Hey, there are problems, and Cloudflare could solve them." Oh? What are they? How?

None of these are industries

This is just clickbait churn
Adopting metaphorical analogs of all the impediments of real engineers does not make us real engineers.

Software is cheap to produce and quick to change. Building a "third track" on the fly, as needed, is exactly the kind of thing we can do that actual engineers can't. They probably wish they had the ability to do things like that.
Ten years ago I hated the fact that they gave these assistants a female name and voice. Today I hate the fact that after 10 years they still have not changed this. At least Google didn't give theirs a stupid female name, but they still use a female voice.

It's not hard. Give this software a neutral name and a neutral voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRauhbZqJCY
While I get what you're referring too, you're drawing from a community wisdom definition vs. any clear technical spec deeming it such, which is what I'm highlighting here. Even the whitepaper calls it "a timestamp network."
I wouldn't actually want to be immortal. I'd imagine that'd get really boring after a few centuries
My point is that you can't rely on "decriminalize".

"in practice" means that it's still available, no matter how "official" the policy may be, when "felony disrespect" is the real issue.
They wink at the fact that the hacker community has changed, but Phrack is also (afaik?) still run by old fogies who don't necessarily reflect "new" hacker communities. It could be that the "community" already has its own new "Phrack". One found only on live-streamed dark-web sites, or podcast, or whatever passes for a party line these days.

The world is more antagonistic to the Black Hat ethos now. Those in the West that have gotten fat off of bug bounties and infosec contracting may not have anything to do with "real hacking" now. They probably assume the hacker community will always be anglo-centric. But I'm sure Russia and China is rife with underground wares, as is probably Brazil and large swaths of Eastern Europe. Many hackers are probably inspired more by religion or nationalistic fervor than a bug bounty, yet they still need to research to perform epic feats and compromise national defenses.

Who knows what communities lie outside the domain of a 36 year old text periodical? The net is vast and infinite.
How about this:

Mum, dad - you know how I always tell you to turn your stuff off and on again?

Well, by turning it off, Facebook also turned off the On Button.
Print copies of 2600 are very much still a thing. I saw plenty on the shelf at the local Barnes & Noble store as recently as last night.

There's also still a local meeting in Raleigh, although I understand it's somewhat lightly attended these days.
Maybe you are thinking of PoC||GTFO https://www.sultanik.com/pocorgtfo/
This is getting more and more common in science, as a researcher's reputation and funding is more and more connected to their ability to get media/internet attention.
Nearly every company is authoritarian inherently. It's a small group of people or even one person leveraging capital to exploit the labour of a much larger group of people for profit with zero democratic process.

I'm not disagreeing that the state should be given limited to zero say on the assembly of people but companies should not be framed as the counterweight against authoritarianism but another manifestation of it.
I put them under a Projects/Misc/Other heading without a date (though the tech may out you).
You don't have to be smart do to this.

You just have to find some tools and services that are "fire and forget."

You just lost 99.99% of the population.

a web frontend for Firebase? sounds too good
On top of gstreamer - it's an absolute mess with no coherent threading model
I'm skeptical as to whether this can really be done in 10 mins. Finding the right chip can take a good while and especially tracing the bus you need to other chips. And the fact the traces were accessible with the thing semi-assembled is incredibly lucky, not to mention how he was able to find a "schematic" of the motherboard. I'd say an hour to pull this off is a minimum.
I should say that the advice is not just for the cognitively impaired but also regular people, and even smart, technically adept people.

As an analogy, you might be the greatest surgeon in the world but you may still want to ask a nutritionist to help you make sense of the varying, contradictory studies that come in.

The problem you have identified also effects the cognitively overwhelmed which is all of us.
In general, Show HNs are a good choice. Other marketing is not appreciated and will often just get downvoted.
I would love to see different types of steps / contents.
For example: Videos, PDF, other Files, Links to external sources; maybe even SCORMs.
This seems to mean that pdf.js is now the first FOSS pdf reader to support xfa forms!
Ah, OpenBSD looks like a bit of an exception in terms of platform support. FreeBSD and NetBSD both have Tier 2 (which is really the minimum level you want for a compiler host platform), but not OpenBSD.
GSMA Intelligence Analysis of Global Internet Performance During Pandemic
Make your rate of responding be proportional to their demonstrated ability via questions. At my last job, there was one person that would always ask, not simply new questions but new types questions. I would immediately get back to her. There was a group of people that would always ask a new question, generally either due to a lack of understanding of something or it was a real interesting bug. Them I would return to at the next break. Then there are the people that have no interest in learning how to fish and just wanted a fish. I would slow down responses quite a lot; when they escalate they are introduced to the ticketing system or Jira for assigning fishing tasks to the team.

There are people with such interesting questions I am happy to hear them and talk them they even from three jobs ago. I cultivate them, as these questions extend my detailed knowledge farther than it otherwise would extend.
Speaking of AVIF, I wonder why Microsoft Edge doesn't support it while the matching version of Chrome does.
Principal sec feels off, but do you perhaps mean "Paged Out!"? The description rings true-ish.

A new setting not mentioned in the release notes:

layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override = 1

# An override for prefers-color-scheme for content documents.
#
# Dark (0), light (1), or system (2).

I use it to force webpages to use light theme while having dark browser UI elements (menus, tabs etc).
Pretty much everything you, I, or someone else is likely to come up with, someone else will have thought of before. That's why we usually attribute inventions and discoveries to the first people to bring to market or publish.

Given the simplicity of this, obviously other people have found this algorithm before. But this might be the first publication mentioning it.
We're an online retailer and they wanted to keep all payments for 60 days from us. Stripe pay us in ~2 days. We aren't exactly in a high-chargeback industry either, Stripe say our chargeback rate is well under the norm for our industry. Paypal was just a complete non-starter for us.
Big Tech's reward for censoring and deplatforming the 'losing side' of the 2020 election is safety from antitrust.
I don't think that it's a given that it's less harmful. Less brutal in some situations, certainly.
This has been lamented for seven decades at least. Back then it was the Idiot Box wasting people's time.
> I.e., the answer to "why switch so often?" or "why stuck for so long and why now?" are key.

This is really the key.

As another anecdotal datapoint to add to this thread, I've held three SWE positions over the past four years and will be starting my fourth, at Google, next month. Naturally the recruiters and hiring managers asked about the short stints at each company, but given that my reasons for each departure were reasonable (company acquisition, COVID, and location), they didn't have any objections.
> ...the average age of my team was 55. I did my bit to not exacerbate this situation.

I must say I am pleasantly surprised! Please accept my apologies, and an upvote.
Because sixel support isn't present in any released version and only present in git?

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/253#note_1049040
The primary reason why a proof of work implementation for something like bitcoin has a huge environmental impact is because it is a winner take all system. You have thousands of machines trying to do the same thing but only one will get there first and claim all the reward, making all that other work that was done a waste of resources.

At some point 1:N becomes prohibitively expensive for the sender, but that doesn't mean that there is wasted work.

edit: To clarify, not really promoting the idea per say, just commenting on the proof of work statement.
> some of those mistakes are pretty much guaranteed to be criminal offences.

Unless there is malicious intent, the IRS does not give a fuck. They will bring it up, and ask you to fix it.
regular updates is a good thing, even if is a fail theyll just update soon. stay positive!
It is being likened to bubblesort in various places but your description (which I quite like) makes it seem like quicksort with an intentionally bad (worst possible?) bifurcation.
The carbon footprint of those proposals is always forgotten. Global warming is a more important issue than junk email.
This is what people get for obeying authorities. Have the people of India already forgotten Gandhi and the weapon he gave us?

Freedom = I Won't

The rulers cannot rule unless others obey them.
Thanks for being understanding.

To be honest, Windows fangirl? guilty as charged!

But I try to keep my personal opinions separate, which is why my rants are on a separate page.

Still, you nailed it: sixel-tmux was made to try to help correct the direction that has been taken, with 6 years wasted.

I believe it's unfair that Linux users have fewer options than us Windows users, due to some people thinking sixel is "uncool".

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Publishing this fork was a last resort move, for the exact reasons you stated: forks are often lost in obscurity.

However, the situation seems to be changing: check the discussion in: https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux/pull/1 and you'll see there may be some light at the end of the tunnel!

A compile time flag is not ideal, but if at least derasterize can be added by default, so that every tmux user can have some kind of graphics in the terminal, even if said graphics are not sixels but derasterized, that would be "good enough" to me.
That exists - wise.com.
I was thinking about this too. If I had valuable information, why would I pay you to give it to you? This deincentivizes the free sharing of knowledge through email. Most people will opt for cheaper and more efficient communications methods for noncommercial communication. When that happens, the spammers will follow anyways.
Break the inner loop into three parts, j < i, j == i, j > i, and you can see it's insertion sort with extra steps.

for i = 1 to n do
- Inserts A[i] into A[1 to i-1], using the A[i]
- spot as a temp variable.
for j = 1 to i-1 do
if A[i] < A[j] then
swap A[i] and A[j]

- Does nothing.
for j = i do
if A[i] < A[j] then
swap A[i] and A[j]

- Permutes A[i to n], placing the maximum into
- A[i]. Since A[i] already has the max after the
- first iteration, it won't change, and we don't
- care how A[i+1 to n] is permuted since it gets
- sorted anyway.
for j = i+1 to n do
if A[i] < A[j] then
swap A[i] and A[j]
I see what you're saying. I still don't think there's a case to be made here for letting the government control these services to ensure uptime. The argument instead should be stop using Facebook properties for business, that's not what they're for.

The argument is essentially that these organizations have gotten so successful that they need to hand control over their infrastructure to the state, since the state will manage it better. You might not be making this argument, but some in this thread clearly are when they ask "how can this be allowed to happen". I can't think of a single system managed by the government which actually is run in a way that's as good as Facebook's networks.

Consider it this way: Facebook has crashed less in the past 10 years than the stock market. That should give people thinking of state control for reliability something to think about.
Holding that foil in a well-focused lens shape, and keeping it focused on one spot on the surface while in orbit around the moon, would be pretty tough.

Even though a mirror surface can be like 90% efficient, I think you'd have a better chance of putting down more energy by collecting the energy with 30% efficient solar panels, and transmitting it with a tightly collimated, easily focused, easily aimed laser that may only be 30% efficient. That's only 9% of your incident energy output to do useful work, but I doubt you could be as successful with a foil mirror.

And when you've got those constraints, why would you not land it on the surface as a rover and work from a meter away instead of working in orbit many kilometers above the surface? The latter saves some landing energy and rover mechanisms at the cost of collimation requirements. It gains you the freedom to put your landing pad anywhere on the surface instead of having to drive there, but I don't think we need that yet.
It does. You have to pay for a provider. Best case scenario it takes a long time to organically grow a list. Or you're paying for ads to build it.
My dude, I have been here. I set my "baseline self care" to try and combat some of this.

1. eat enough
2. sleep enough (you're depressed, you need more sleep than normal)
3. read the Bible

That last one is for christian folks. My faith and dependence on God has been the thing that has allowed me to pull through. Self-care comes in close second.
That was my experience a few years ago with taking some courses from some folks who were some of their top instructors... but it was very much "guy who knows this like the back of his hand rushes through a thing and maybe mentions one or two tips ... and here's the rest of the **** owl".

Yeah I could reproduce his work but not with an understanding of what is going on / any kind of pathway to try new things, and I felt like there was no effort to communicate more than that.

A few courses I really got the feeling that the instructor was taking an inaccurate approach to the whole topic. Not wrong... but not how the concept of the language or code works.
I'm averse to any kind of voice assistant. I'm the kind of person who just finds it faster to type in my query or go hunting for the information I want directly. I also come from a time when voice recognition used to be just barely functional, so I'm biased to think the phone will mishear me. I also have a bias towards thinking that computers aren't meant for natural language questions - I'm still very much a keyword query maker. To this day, I have never asked Siri anything, nor Alexa, Cortana, or whatever Google is calling theirs right now.

I know I can't be the only one, right?
You could have a whole career of actually reading the error logs in email chains and then just saying that error as a normal English email.
I am currently trying Ubuntu for the first time in a long while and it comes with Firefox as the default browser.

My problem is that Firefox has a "snapping" scroll behavior that I find very annoying. When I move my fingers on the touchpad of my laptop, that does not immediately move the page. Instead, it waits until I moved a certain distance and then moves in one big swoosh.

Starting Firefox from the command line like this solves it:

MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 firefox

Is there a way to make this permanent or accomplish the same via a setting in about:config?

I've been in Denmark for holidays. They have a vaccination rate well over 80% mostly with Pfizer and Moderna and for a long time they had no deaths. They give you strange looks when you wear a mask or keep social distance. All the mask troubles are only caused by people who could easily get one, but refuse to get the vaccination.
It's not as if the tech careers you get when you're 35 are generally that amazing, they just pay better. Assume that you will not continue to make more money as you age in tech, and plan your finances accordingly.
I recommend not worrying about a "sleep schedule" and just get enough sleep. Shoot for getting up 8 hours from when you go to bed.
I'm in the same boat.

Honestly people like to say "x social media sucks" but in actuality it's far simpler than that : people suck in general. Only now you get to see it for yourself at a more general level as opposed to anecdotal experience.
Hey Alex, are you able to hire remotely from Canada for the Jr Engg? I'm authorized and also have a corporation setup for invoicing if need be
So, if Facebook becomes sentient we can’t shut it down because it will break the internet?
Okay, let's break up big tech. Now what? Do you really think people will stop using social media?
I don't think the claim is that Python is a good replacement for C. But there are probably more (business) problems for which Python is the right tool to solve it then problems for which C is the right tool.

C is also a lot harder than Python to learn.

So for these reasons there are more Python programmers than C programmers.

For some subset of problems for which C is a good tool, Rust is a good alternative, arguably with less foot guns. For some other problems that are solved with C, Golang is a good alternative.

So in the end C is losing marketshare because of all these reasons.
Great, another cost to making free software. As if building installers for difficult platforms and moving targets (macOS) and dealing with antivirus software (code signing certs cost $$) wasn't enough, now charge me for sending a newsletter. Everyone is a company, right?

Edit, having read the article: If you're going to put that much cryptography into it, why not give a unique key when you subscribe? That way you can unsubscribe or reduce volume at any point, by dropping messages with that key (and all messages without keys). As usual, what is the extra blockchain for?
Mayku Multiplier – Teenage Engineering
Is it because large swaths of the industry use non experienced people to do the hiring? Experience values experience. Lack of experience values perceived longevity, ability to pay less, and zeal.

Also, age is not experience. Age is usually an ingredient to experience (though some make use of less age than others to gain experience). But in and of itself, it does not create useful experience (maybe wisdom is the word we’re looking for here). I’ve worked with many older engineers who hadn’t gained useful experience. They’re still making the same mistakes they did years ago. And I’ve worked with younger engineers who I can tell are going to be old dinosaurs from the get go. They like the high paying career and the problem solving aspect, but the desire to evolve and improve their game play just isn’t there.

You may mistake my post for suggesting Nessie doesn't exist. All I am getting at is, if there's a large animal the size of a whale migrating down to the loch, over a few hundred migrations since the weir was built, someone probably would have seen it. Therefore, the migrations, if they happen, most likely are a rarer event.

On the flip side, the existence of porpoises, while interesting, does not prove the existence of Nessie. It simply makes more room for the possibility.

You can make it "permanent" by editing the .desktop file your Firefox is launching from when you click it in Ubuntu. You can change the Exec= line to be Exec=MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 firefox, or maybe Exec=env MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 firefox

I work in a senior-only consulting S-Corp (most devs hold equity). I'm 43 and everyone is nearly 10 years older than me. No one has ever been laid off, companies fired FTEs and kept all our guys during covid panic, and every one of our clients will take everyone from our group that they can afford or we will let them have (the consultants get to choose clients).

The amount of money they happily pay for us is crazy. We work along FTEs in all these companies for years who make a fraction of what we do. Companies take a diverse approach, stringing along FTEs under the auspices of being a special FTE with a career ahead of them at the company, and they hire a drove of contractors (permenantly) that cost twice as much and who are already wise to the FTE/career half-truth.

We get paid for every hour worked and are restricted to 40hours...at twice the rate of an FTE.
Let's hope they didn't push faulty DNS records :D

But seriously, what's going on with all the service disruptions? From slack to all of facebook to GitHub (who had 7 incidents in September). Maybe centralizing the whole internet into a few providers isn't a good idea after all?

I much prefer a good third party solution than an included half baked one.
> We keep working on Hurl because our main goal is to be able to easily run integration tests on a CI or locally in a terminal, which can be difficult with IntelliJ.

I completely agree with this. Its pushed me away from using IntelliJ's feature. I will always prefer a tool that can be built into a CI pipeline over one that has handy IDE integration.
Wildcard certificates are the much much easier case. You don't have to mess with your web server or routes at all. You just hook up certbot with your DNS provider and say "get me a cert for '*.mydomain.business", run the renew in a cronjob (which certbot does automatically by default now) and never touch it again. I've had certbot running for like 4 years with no interruption with this setup.

The Venn Diagram of people who forgo managed hosting with SSL built-in and set up their own servers to host HTML pages on the internet and the people capable of following a guide to configure certbot is a circle.
Ageism is very depressing. My company seems to be obsessed with discrimination against minorities (which is great) but nobody seems concerned that average age is less than 30. On the company recruiting ads, you can see people from every possible background, but certainly no grey hair.

I'm 45 and I'm getting more and more concerned about my age. I love my job but I'll try to move to a manager position in a couple of years.
It's kind or ironic that the people crying for freedom to not wear a mask are mostly the same that get no vaccination and ruin the day for everybody else.
