Do you think this has something to do with how many Windows programs (not just games) handle errors and crashes? Even Windows still uses the "Error code: <bunch of meaningless numbers>" scheme. I can't even think of the last time I even attempted to get crash logs for a Windows program; however, on Linux I can usually find where logs got dumped and debug without as much of a headache.

As long as humans are humans, good luck.

It sounds like you could level that second paragraph at Google too.

Personally I take my security and privacy over performance any day. Firefox by default better protects my privacy, and it customisable where it doesn't. Add to this uMatrix, uBlock and disabling JavaScript I'm good for security.

I don't care much about negligible performance stats. I notice little difference, especially with the above mentioned add-ons/settings. The websites they break I don't care much about or allow on a whitelist basis.

Bad as Mozilla is I trust it more than Google, especially in regards to this thread and others currently floating on the front-page.
We like hackers and free thinkers. Communities like these are hacking modern society. Even if they don't work or aren't appealing to me, they're all interesting experiments that can teach us something about societies, group dynamics, governments, property rights, etc.
I share the author's frustration with making graphics work on older machines with nvidia dGPUs. My Sandy Bridge thinkpad absolutely cannot boot without hanging and perpetually writing to disk since their major "additions" in 5.12 and later, no matter the dozen hours spent and configurations, kernel parameters setup; I've reached the conclusion it's impossible and put the problem to rest for now with an older version. Alas, this an industry problem, not limited to nu-lenovo by any means, from poor designing of the devices in question (on the Optimus implementation above: it's absolutely terrible and prone to all sorts of issues, because you can't just rip the damn nvidia chip off) to cutting corners. When producing these devices, do manufacturers often think, let alone care, if they will be used in the future after a decade or more? There's no stimuli to do so, after all, no gain from it.

I also thought the same way at first, but Hot Reload in .NET is limited to simple actions like changing the body of a non-generic method. Changing anything in a generic class, adding or removing new methods/fields/properties, changing the implemented interfaces of a class, etc. all require a restart.

Currently the generic class limitation impacts me severely and I still have to restart the program too often for my own liking, unfortunately. Otherwise it works pretty well.
Its a shame it's not going to be any more real though.
Whilst interesting work if it can be applied elsewhere and with fast growing plants, but it's a bit hyped up based on current limited results.
Took a look through through that Intercept article. It reads like any of the biased opinion based drivel passing for journalism these days. Trying to conflate politics with medicine and say Doctors who risked their careers to speak up for Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin are "extremely pro Trump". Immediate red flag.

They call out Simone Gold for posting anti-vax content on Twitter by retweeting Joe Rogan's experience that he got covid and treated it with a cocktail of drugs including Ivermectin. This first hand account of recovery was apparently not true because... Ivermectin isn't shown to be effective.

I strongly believe that there’s just no point in backdooring Windows, this is complicated software with extremely large attack surface.

I've always loved rockchip SoCs, and a smartphone getting mainline support is definitely something I want. So I've been very happy seeing the announcement of Pinephone Pro, and I've asked for pre-order.

One thing that will probably make me stand out to the other users though is that I want to use (well, probably make) Android on it. I think Android is a much better smartphone OS than GNU/Linux distribution, without too much compromise (the biggest compromise being that Google leads the software roadmap), and having a fully functional opensource software and mainline is already a feat in itself, and could be very interesting wrt long term support.

Epstein's wet dream...
You can hardly ever be sure when astroturfing is really happening, so all I have to offer is speculation. I feel that this is not Google astroturfing, because Google astroturfing takes on a different flavor.

This is speculation on my part and I want to be very clear about that, but whenever I see something that looks like Google astroturfing, what happens is they frame controversial decisions as technical necessities, like it's just an easier way of solving a technical problem. And they keep trying to reframe questions in technical terms, and try to turn questions of right and wrong into questions where they're simply elaborating on how the technology works, and it's a matter of you not understanding the technology. This was my experience in HN threads about AMP, for instance.

That's my sense of how that works. In this case, I don't think we're seeing anything other than the typical short attention spans.

In what context would you prefer ISO over RFC? The fact that ISO standards cost hundreds to read and apparently change over time, while RFCs are openly available and get replaced if necessary, makes it hard for me to see ISO as more than a crutch. If there's an open standard, I'll use that, and people will actually know what I'm talking about.

Well there have been a few wet years leading up to the recent draught.

During the wet years the fuel load flourished, not the trees but the underbrush in the forests. During the dry years that added fuel load leads to the conditions we saw the last few years with the kinds of wild fires that are quite devastating to the trees.

its super nice to finally see someone share my feelings. it is hard to express these views sometimes because they are often faced with hard backlash by a lot of bike activists who see biking as the only answer to climate change and strict bike lanes with super defensive construction against cars and all other modes of transportation as the only way to achieve this. there are much more flexible and nice ways than the dutch model.berlin is moving hard in the dutch direction and it feels like a short sighted and suffocating development. we need a public space that is open and adapts to small developments, we will have e scooters e motorbikes small electric cars self driving microcars, super fast electric wheelchairs with ai emergency prevention for elderly or disabled, relatively slow moving parcel and grocery delivery robots.and all of this has to take into account that walkability is still the number one factor for quality of life feeling in neighbourhoods.

Note that Python still lacks any way to parse these dates in the standard library. You have to use a third party library to parse them. You might think `datetime.fromisoformat` parsed ISO dates but you'd be wrong; it doesn't support the trailing Z or any other form of timezone information. The docs are clear about this, and the developer discussion I've read basically boils down to "it's too hard to parse ISO dates so we didn't do it here." This discussion has been going on for years.

I spent time in an ecovillage in western North Carolina almost 20 years ago.

Question:

Who does the agricultural labor here? I watched the first 15 minutes of the video, and was very curious about this.

The ecovillage I lived in was primarily younger people who did their own labor. A lot of it was backbreaking. We did our own construction as well. And YES, people got kicked out if they didn't work hard enough, and that happened several times. When I see an creepy old boomer hippy lady who sounds like a cult-leader, who doesn't look like she's capable of doing any kind of manual labor, I question if they are paying people to come in and handle the agriculture for them. These people all look like they are swimming in money. The ecovillage I lived in was not like that at all. We all ended up looking like a bunch of farmers and construction workers, because that's basically what you HAD to do to make it work.

I'm sure I'm tying up the wrong things in the concept of an ecovillage. The one I lived in was probably a lot more off-the-grid than this one was intended to be.

I don't want to compel speech. I want to reattach a cost or liability to YouTube that was removed via state power.

Remember, Stratton Oakmont, Inc. v. Prodigy Services Co. "held that Prodigy was liable as the publisher of the content created by its users because it exercised editorial control over the messages on their bulletin boards in three ways: 1) by posting Content Guidelines for users, 2) by enforcing those guidelines with 'Board Leaders', and 3) by utilizing screening software designed to remove offensive language."

The State removed the above liability via Section 230, which paved the way for YouTube to become the monolith it is today. Reattaching liability to YouTube would force it to choose between an editorial model (Prodigy) or a platform model (CompuServe). It would not get the luxury of the editorial model without paying the corresponding costs of that model. In other words, it would put YouTube on the same playing field as the Washington Post and other traditional news sources.

I'm also a Master Boot Record fan (and of his crypto puzzles), but he's more metal driven instead of the uncanny reflections of regular synthwave.

With you on the movie Drive as the aesthetic origin of the revival though. I'd still say that the mumblecore/normcore element of Drive is an expression of the same kind of psychopathic dull affect Ellis was writing about, except Drive was about working people struggling instead of city bankers.

I make a lot of music that is influenced by what happened outside and after that 80s synth genre, as I think what happened was the paralell thread of the 80s, which was holdovers from industrial and minimalist pioneers in the 70s influenced aphex twin, autechre, orbital, future sound of london, and eventually breaking through to the mainstream with underworld and chemical brothers.

There is a godawful almost secret album by Underworld when they were an 80s synth band, that captures the end of the synthwave moment just before they really became Underworld (pre dubnobasss) when synthy alt culture met dance/techno. My own stuff (in recent comment history) riffs on that transitional era between industrial, techno, punk, and what would become electronica. Super fun topic!

Ask HN: Switch from development to security?
Hi HN,

I’ve been working as a software developer for the last 10 years. Fullstack with a strong tendency to Python in the backend.

I’ve never really worked for a company as an employee. All I have done is working as a contractor/freelancer or for my own startups (with one semi successfull exit). Currently I’m working for a multi billion dollar company as a contractor, leading a small team of four people.

I love programming but I was always interested in the security kind of things (the startup was security related). Is there a good way to transition from software development to security? What are my chances on getting an employment in a large-ish organisation without real job expierence in security?

As a contractor, I’m currently making 120k EUR/year from Europe (100% remote). Is it realistic to find a remote position paying equally?

My current contract will probably run out in around 6 months. I’m currently trying to get a CompTIS Security+ certificate. Does that make sense or can I spend my time better doing something else?

Isn't the problem with rail that it's nearly impossible to build new rail lines? Especially in a way that isn't destructive to the environment? I'm all for rail in general, but it feels like the same environmentalist push that wants to get away from trucks is also the force that's going to block putting fairly environmentally damaging train lines all over the American west.
> How do you generate enough electricity at said remote FOB to create a useful amount of fuel?

You might not need to go that far to make the overall system economical. Imagine an aircraft carrier retrofitted with this system to generate jet fuel for its planes. If it can synthesize more fuel that its complement of aircraft require (this is likely), then it can be a supply generator for the remote FOB. There's still logistics in shipping from that carrier at sea nearby into the remote FOB, but that becomes a shorter supply line than shipping the equivalent quantity of jet fuel from a refinery in the state of Louisiana to the same FOB.

No. I specifically said drivers, not firmware blobs. As long as these blobs are freely redistributable, I personally have no problems with them. I understand some people do and that is understandable, but I don’t subscribe to that. This started at a time where non-volatile memory for firmware became a cost factor and companies decided to save a few bucks on the BoM and upload the blob as part of the initialisation/boot process. Which is fine with me.
