I appreciate the honesty - I guess from my side of this, I have an similar annoyance of people who have lengthy rants against corporations that boil down to "why won't someone else do something about this".

Which isn't to say that I think you're not well-intentioned, or not doing anything yourself, but that there's a streak on HN and in general of "why won't the government pass a law to fix X" or "why isn't everyone at (insert unethical company here) doing something about their employer".

Ultimately, the problem is a combination of things - some portion of devs just don't agree with you that this is a problem, another portion is radical to the point of only investing in a solution so pure as to be unworkable, and the remaining portion that may agree with you (myself included) isn't enough of the population to matter outside of doing something drastic like quitting their jobs en masse.

I recently purchased a Framework laptop. I'd imagine the overlap of people who own S76 or Framework computers and people who are on HN is pretty high. You're already grousing at a group of people who's most likely to be doing everything you think they should be doing, and it hasn't made things better, so out of frustration, we're all ranting to anyone who will listen about how we've done what we can and it's still not better.
My total comp falls short of that range (adjusted for USD) and I still have to pay a hefty chunk for benefits too. Seems like the range you listed is around the median for the US. Not sure what it would be in the various EU countries, although I've always heard it's lower for many/most.

Your docker-compose file becomes configuration-as-code, and it's a one-line change to set up different websites on different ports.

From what i understand they may as well have used power tools to break through. This prison break highlighted the almost unbelievable incompetency of the Israeli Prison service. I wouldn't be shocked if this coke story is just a lie to divert attention from the ineptitude of the prison guards. After all, who would expect coke would be used in a breakout attempt?
If you're suggesting Google is the same company from ten years ago, I think your position is in trouble.
Oh, trust me, I have researched "co-housing" and similar concepts. The missing link seems to be that there's a clear advantage in being able to bring together hundreds of people, and "optimize" the logistics and the construction of the site. And so far, very few have succeeded in doing so.
Same here. Can be downright confusing sometimes.
Not sure what you mean, sorry?

Are you just objecting to the verbosity of method calls over operators? Yes it's a bit annoying, but the functionality is all there.
Thank you for this explanation. This ended up being more relevant to a personal project of mine than I anticipated.
Last I heard, Nvidia Shield may have hardcoded DNS endpoints embedded via raw IP address. Your conventional PiHole setup won't work. You'll have to blackhole the ad DNS traffic entirely by blocking the Nvidia Shield's IP traffic to anywhere outside your network. Honestly, it's pretty sad the lengths we're having to go to for privacy, but... There it is.
Except that for what you're describing to exist, other countries would have to acknowledge it and set up diplomatic relations.

That's the issue with the power of the existing system of countries - you can go claim to form your own online country if you want, but it only exists inasmuch as other countries agree it does. The US isn't going to allow you to set up an embassy because to do so it would have to agree to redefine the concept of what a nation is, and as one of the most powerful nations on earth, that's clearly not in its interest.
Americans cities should stop bending over backwards for suburbanites. Especially so because suburbs split off into their own counties so they don’t have to contribute by paying taxes to pay for the city streets and services they use. They just want to take but not give in any way

I'm ashamed that I was so naïve about this, but I was disappointed to realize that hosting a website to the entire public internet on my Pi was non-trivial. Of course once I dug into the idea it was obvious why it was difficult and furthermore that it would be a dangerous thing to do. Just sharing and curious if anyone has done it or knows useful documentation on the topic.

> Now that is a tangent, because that is not what is being suggested.

That's exactly what was suggested. The Mozilla CEO that resigned donated money to a 'charity' (can an organisation that promotes evil be a charity?) that tried to get gay marriage banned in California. That goes a lot further than just believing something, that's trying to force your beliefs on others.

If you're against gay marriage, that's fine, don't marry someone of the same sex. But don't deny others that just because it doesn't fit your worldview.
Yes, it's my "work" (just a patch to emacs). Thought I posted on Show HN but I must have messed up... I'm not concerned though; just hoping that eventually someone who knows more than I finds this and helps pitch in. Emacs people don't exactly frequent the same social circles as the general population :)
They wanted feature parity with MacOS' ability to hide processes from the user.
If it were only that. Have you tried the iPhone Music app with something not downloaded from Apple Music or the iTunes store? Like, music sampled from CDs or bought on Bandcamp or somewhere else? It will challenge your creativity.
These are all great.

The last one is super important.

When they talk about core locations/areas a good signal is if they have close to full timezone coverage, i.e Asia + NA + EU. This generally means you will be able to find collaborators that have some overlap and important meetings are likely to be recorded, etc.
The bet is symmetric, but not around the current price:

A thinks the price will be under $90 in one year
B thinks the price will be over $90 in one year

Of course that doesn't explain why they chose $90. If A really wasn't able to find anyone willing to bet that the price would be above $95 or $99 or whatever (despite C wanting to buy the stock for $100!), that would be a signal

The next step is _Extended_ regular expressions that characterise Regular Relations (RR) and that specify Finite Strate Transducers (FSTs). See:

http://users.itk.ppke.hu/~sikbo/nytech/gyak/05_morfo/xfst/bo...

Advances:

- symmetry input:output (reversable)

- readable/maintainable expressions due to _naming_ of sub-expression

Implementations:

- Xerox XRCE XFST/lexc/twolc compilers

The RF path is not via the secondary bus though. The RF path is via the remote update path directly to the secure bus.
I've seen that, but it's a losing battle. People will unplug company IP phones and plug in their thing instead. Or use any number of other user-space networking, wifi sharing, etc, tools. Eventually you end up having to whitelist every legit MAC addr. Even that isn't safe, since I can spoof the MAC of anything I just unplugged, and many of them have helpful labels on them. So now you have to deploy certificates, and exceptions for things that don't support them. I imagine bad actors recognize which sorts of devices don't support certificates, so they would know what to unplug and spoof. Ugh.

Just treat the office network as untrusted and be done with it. That's how every "WFH" worker is coming into your network anyway.
Clojure tries to be an immutable-data, copy-on-write, threadsafe by default dialect of Lisp, which none of the other Lisps do.
That wasn't really my point. There is still a translation process you have to apply to cross the boundary between immutable and native data structures though, and that has its own overhead.

The piece attempts to equate reasonable public health measures to former tyrannical rule.
These kinds of comparisons aren’t helpful for debate - they simultaneously exaggerate a mere and temporary inconvenience while reducing legitimate past atrocities.

It’s also simply a gross misrepresentation, the restrictions to freedoms are largely already gone - so covid wasn’t a covert power grab after all.
Ask HN: Anyone working in the blockchain space? Worth spending time learning?
I have been doing light reading about various blockchain concepts. I find them interesting. Even if I am not a fan of price speculation, there is no question that some super smart people are working on very interesting projects in the space.

Just wondering if it is worth spending serious time learning smart contract development etc. Is it possible to build a career? If yes, what would the learning path look like?
Another pen and paper method I used for a while was inspired by a previous HN submission (Using Paper for Everyday Tasks) [0]. I used it for a solid couple of months (filling up two notebooks with about 30 sheets/60 pages, one per month).

It was the most enjoyable daily to-do method I used, though I found it lacking in task capture for long-term tasks and scheduling (pocket notebook pages typically weren’t big enough for every hour in one column, and adding a second column felt cramped). I’ve shifted approaches from a daily to-do list to a daily hourly schedule with a table in OneNote, so I no longer handwrite a to-do list (as it’s included in the schedule). However, I still use paper sometimes for breaking big tasks into small steps, and large numbers of miscellaneous one-time tasks.

I meant to say that they drank of that chalice the moment they started adwords. The rest was always going to happen, though the exact timing might be up for debate.

It does not matter that they are ethical sleeze bags, that is just what was eventually going to happen.

Maybe the poised chalice is a bad metaphore, perhaps it would be better to say that advertising was Googles original sin, and one that will eventually undo them.
There are some development jobs in security, which would obviously be an ideal position as you could leverage 100% of your skills. That's how I got my role. Some larger companies will have development teams that create tools for their security org.

Also, every security company out there - Mandiant, CrowdStrike, Kaspersky, etc hires developers all over the place. That would be a good spot to get a start.

Past that, there are a couple of possible options.

Larger companies will also have Threat Intel teams and those teams may work on custom solutions and require developers to help them with it. But it may be sort of tough to find a role without any security knowledge.

If you have a good amount of system admin knowledge, you could also look an Analyst role, and work as someone who responds to security alerts for an org. The problem is that you will likely take a pay cut for this type of role. The more senior level roles would probably pay you similar to what you're making now (I think), but that'll be 3-7 years of work.

Databases can be made available publicly. And a permissioned blockchain is controlled by third parties that can control what gets written to it, just like a database. You can have a public database that anyone can download and audit, and that can be rendered effectively immutable via that auditing.

Transparency is also problematic for voting records since votes need to be private to prevent coercion. The fact that I don't know how you voted is a security feature that prevents me from threatening you to vote a certain way.

And once you've watered down blockchain to mean 'git' then its lost most of its meaning. And why do you need a merkle tree in that case? Why does your data need to branch? Why do you need diffs? Why do you need anything more than a table full of votes?

You could do some kind of cyrptographic signing of votes so that it established a cert chain for a given vote, but hid the identity other than perhaps zip code, so then it was auditable that the CA had signed a given number of certs from a zipcode and that a given number of votes had been received from each zipcode so that it was auditable that way, while producing public voting results at a geographical granularity (zipcodes with very small numbers of people might still be a problem). But none of that requires what we consider to be blockchain crypto in this day. You don't even need git, you just need a PKI and some old school 90s era cryptography and a database.
Placebo mostly just means "good effect unrelated to intended treatment (active substance, surgical procedure etc)". That can include psychological effects of treatment (such as in pain management, depression, heart rate and blood pressure, and a handful of others).

More commonly though, the placebo effect is just natural progression of the disease, errors in data collection (such as patients trying to be helpful and confirming that vague symptoms have somewhat improved), or errors in data analysis (such as lab techs thinking they've seen something in the sample that they expected to see there).

The psychological effects may or may not apply to infants - that's a somewhat separate question. The other effects definitely do - it's perfectly plausible that a lab tech looking for an improvement in an infant's blood sample after treatment "finds" it.
Suppose the raw results from the trial are that ivermectin is effective. What do you yourself expect to hear in such a circumstance? From the study, from the media, etc?
Thanks for this tip! My daughter recently got into model rockets and it seemed to me that untreated balsa wood was unlikely to last more than a few launches.
I had some questions about that too. It looks cool, to be sure, but I watched the video of the nail being hammered through some boards, and... let's just say I'm not so timid with steel nails!

For what they were showing, if you were going for "equivalent to steel", I'd expect to see a tap to secure the nail and then probably only two strokes to sink it. They tap it a hundred times, which begs the question of what would happen if you actually hit it.

Strength comes in many dimensions.
Youtube appeals processes for all (alleged) infractions are bullshit.
I’ve got ~16 years experience and I’m starting a new role tomorrow. I’ve been looking on and off for a while. I’ve had a lot of recruiters contact me, mostly for contract or roles I wasn’t very interested in (Fintech, healthcare tech, shopping).

I had a significant change in response (positively) when I started crafting my resume for roles I wanted. Between the recruiters and the candidate matching systems, a non-response seems more to be a we-never-saw-your-resume than intentional weed out.

To answer your first question though, I’d say the market is unequivocally better for Senior developers than for Junior devs.
I've always thought that "a world without borders" would appeal to libertarians... interesting to see how that's precipitating.

> I'm so totally impressed at this Way New Development Paradigm. Let's call it the "Cascade of Attention-Deficit Teenagers" model, or "CADT" for short.

> It hardly seems worth even having a bug system if the frequency of from-scratch rewrites always outstrips the pace of bug fixing. Why not be honest and resign yourself to the fact that version 0.8 is followed by version 0.8, which is then followed by version 0.8?

> But that's what happens when there is no incentive for people to do the parts of programming that aren't fun. Fixing bugs isn't fun; going through the bug list isn't fun; but rewriting everything from scratch is fun (because "this time it will be done right", ha ha) and so that's what happens, over and over again.

In your case, replace version "0.8" by "new bug tracker" or "new bug handling process".

Interesting. Does anyone have links to a better explanation of how edge cases work? All I find is the happy path and political coverage of it. I would be interested in things like how it affects those with handicaps, how moving and deliveries work, and where people park their cars when living in these zones (vs traditional street parking).
Brazil received strong govt propaganda for ivermectin use. Some people even got liver problems due to Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine overdose [1].

Yet, the country is one of the most affected by the pandemic. It has more than 600k deaths. For comparison, India is around 6x bigger regarding population, and only had 454K deaths.

That's the real-world Ivermectin study. If it worked, you can be sure that Brazil would be in a much better situation.

To be honest I see Kotlin continuing to exist because of it's multi-platform nature and it's focus being on different things to Java.

So even if feature wise the 2 equalize (a good thing not a bad thing IMO) stylistic differences will remain. Many of Kotlins syntactic differences are unlikely to make it to Java for instance.

I'm ok with this. I use both for different things. Kotlin for most app level development, Kotlin for libraries that are only useful in the context of Kotlin, Java for everything else so it has minimal dependencies and can be used from Kotlin/Scala/Java/Clojure equally well.
Just be aware that nginx needs a self-signed certificate in the very beginning, to serve the .well-known/acme-challenge directory. To simplify the initial setup, I include a default "snake oil" certificate, which gets overwritten.

Only a journalist who is worried about the possibility of being sued for defamation really needs to consider using alleged in reporting. The truth is an absolute defense to defamation. If you are confident in your reporting, and especially if you have good lawyers, then you don't need to hedge. (Source: was a lawyer who used to do some of this work at one time in my life)

Edit: If you are just reporting second-hand on someone else's work and haven't done the investigating yourself, then you might indeed want to say alleged whatevers.
That in itself requires clarification. There have been years in which Facebook is caught lying about as metrics in all 12 months.

So it is possible to make the switch (IMO) but, in Europe, I think you may struggle to find a matching salary when starting out in security.

To give you some idea https://twitter.com/tazwake/status/1451702586348818435?s=20 is actually (IME) pretty close to UK Infosec salary ranges.

Past that, if you're still interested, I'd say you want to focus a bit on what sort of security work you want to do, there's a massive range, and the qualifications and experience vary.

With a dev. background, something like Appsec work is likely to be the closest, or maybe DevSecOps. The advantage of both those paths is that they kind of sit between development and security, so you can leverage your existing development experience, when looking at roles.
