> But 20 years of studying algorithms or general language concepts

I don't think that's quite what's valuable though. I'm right in the middle of "senior/not" (~7 years of experience) and I think in general, even our new hires can code fairly well, and can even design quite well. What seniors have over juniors is just battle experience.

I liken software devs to jungle guides. Even the best jungle guide hasn't seen every scrap of jungle and probably doesn't even necessarily have the best map of the jungle you're going to go through. But what they do know is how to use a machete and rope like its an extension of their arm, and what all the different kinds of quicksand and poisonous frogs are, and which water holes have clean water.

Similarly, experienced software devs are going to know when it feels right to use various stacks of various complexities, when to KISS and when to do big-brain CS stuff, when to argue with someone else's manager and when to pick their battles. They'll just generally be more acquainted with the entire techno-social process of developing software that drives business value.

"20 years of studying algorithms or general language concepts" would leave me with a pretty uninterested view of a candidate since those are frequently the least interesting parts of driving business impact.
>> The most challenging point is, as others said, the lack of the compatibility with Linux Driver API.

IMHO getting a minimal set that works is good enough to get people on board. This is still nontrivial. But for example, getting FUSE working would be useful. Even if the driver itself was not ABI compatible, it would bring functionality and someone might then aim for ABI compatibility afterward which would open even more doors.
> Democrats: because its tangibly harmful to children and spreads deleterious hatred

This is a very nice, idealistic view, but it's hard to make the case they care very much about whats harmful to children or not, for many well documented reasons I'd rather not get into here.

The real reason they want it torpedoed is because it doesn't serve their agenda enough. They are upset it doesn't censor conservatives more, or that it even allows any at all. They are upset that they are clinging on to any sort of neutrality, and would rather have total control like they do with corporate media.

Nonetheless, it's good to see people assume positive intent out there, however naive it may be.

yeah, that's an explicit goal: to surface the implicit/nascent open source communities that are already coalescing around projects.

if a bunch of people all agree that it's worthwhile to keep a particular project alive, and they're doing the work to make it happen, then they have something in common, and it should be easy for them to meet each other.
If you look at https://www.infoq.com/presentations/whatsapp-scalability/ though it gives a very different picture. Sure, the founding team may have tried to prototype without knowing full technical details, but they knew enough to choose software that could fundamentally scale towards the future, and they rapidly brought on fantastically talented developers with a hunger for optimization. You can't choose the right technical people without technical chops; that being said, in many cases the right technical people are those who know how and when (and when not) to stand on the shoulders of giants!

I disagree, when you release a new version of something distros like Debian or Ubuntu will backport the security fixes but not backport the new features and the new bugs.

As an example we are a group of people with some eye disabilities but not completely blind, we use an old application Jovie for KDE, this app was removed from latest KDE and replaced with something with lot less feature. We are compiling this old app from source and at least for this old LTS distros we can get both Qt4/KDE4 and Qt5/KDE5 libs installed. So imagine people with disabilities doing an update one day and poof your must have thing is gone and you can't use your system anymore and some person on the internet will tell you that you are doing it wrong and should not use anythng else then the latest version of stuff because the developers do not support old stuff.
I think this was my point of view ~4 years ago. I've found that things are changing. People are starting to evaluate experience and the value of experience more highly.

IMHO: You can pay for experience, or you can pay for not having it. Your call as an employer. :)

"The IDF’s armed Hermes 450 and 900 drones also participated in the war with Hamas, though the Israeli government still does not officially acknowledge its armed drone capabilities."

"The Hermes cannot carry heavy bombs like IDF jet fighters. However, they’re suitable for orbiting for many hours searching for targets of opportunity like Hamas rocket-launching teams and engaging them with small missiles or directing strikes by other assets."

"At least two tiny drone-fired Mikholit missiles have been photographed by Palestinians. Four can be carried by a Hermes 450 drone."

"Gaza health authorities meanwhile reported 39 women, 17 elderly persons (ages 60-90) and 66 children among the dead. Amongst the latter were eleven children aged 5 to 15 enrolled in the Norwegian Refugee Council’s trauma relief program."

"The many dead children are in part a consequence of the IDF practice of bombing the homes of Hamas leaders. Heavy casualties also resulted from a strike targeting an “underground military structure” on al-Wahda street that killed over 40 civilians, wiping out all but a few members of three large families."

Yes of course the GDR electronics industry was behind the US, but so were most Western countries.

At the beginning of the 70s, Eastern Germany didn't have chip manufacturing capabilities at all, and at the end of the decade it was able to manufacture Z80 clones along with all other chips needed to build Z80-based computers, and two years later 16-bit CPUs (the Z8000 clone U8000). What CPUs did (for instance) Western Germany build at that time? ;)

This does not resemble my (UK) career at all. On the other hand, I'm writing for the non-web market. Is that "niche"?

If you have 10+ years of experience and it doesn't cover multiple niches and you don't have a professional network, the job hunt is going to be more difficult, but on balance I think the people saying it's never been better from an overall demand point of view are correct.

True but then Trump went and lost and got kicked off the network. My point is its more a chaos factory than a controllable weapon.

It no one can tell if their own head is going to be blown off, when they wield the weapon, then its not a very good one.

That said, there are lot of people who have become Like and Follower chasing robots thanks to FBs content mechanics and that fuel the chaos. These people think they are great shapers of reality, but the outcomes speak for themselves.

There are no lasting results or outcomes that will go into the political history book from all the activity that happens on FB. Its just wasting everyones time and energy. And for that reason it will suddenly one day collapse and everyone will stand around shocked and suprised just as they did with Hilary.

Chaos is easy to generate and impossible to control. And it will be FBs downfall.

Source? Any definitive backing for this claim? Because it sounds rather asinine that a public force would want to nuke a platform that's "serving their agenda", albeit imperfectly.

Instead of actively purging content from one side, they rather appear to be bringing more radicalized people from both sides together in their own distinct echo chambers. This is the case at least for Facebook; there exists just as much "agenda" promotion of notions labeled anti-liberal and far-right as there is of notions labeled leftist or anti-conservative. It's all a matter of how you perceive it from your custom feed on that platform.
This is one of the weakest posts I've read, including YouTube comments :-).

There is no argument presented; no research cited; nothing new. Human exceptionalism has a long history (old testament and older), and has been treated in many different places.

Douglas Adam's famously wrote that humans and dolphins each think they are the most intelligent beings on earth -- humans think they are more intelligent because the invented the wheel, cities, wars, etc. whereas dolphins just play in the water all day. Dolphins think they are more intelligent for precisely the same reasons.

If anyone wants to discuss why precisely humans are more than monkeys-with-astonishingly-complicated sticks, be my guest, but please bring more than this simplistic post.

Maybe. This seems like a cluster-wide limitation - the individual CPU cores can utilize enough memory bandwidth that together they should be able to saturate the bus, but there's some kind of bottleneck on the entire CPU section of the SoCs and who knows how easy or difficult it would be to alleviate that.

Anecdotally, I grew up that way pre-digital cameras (I'm 29, my mom is a photographer) and I actively avoid having my picture taken to this day because of it.

I occasionally take pictures, but I make sure to ask "Can I take your picture?" Every. Single. Time. Consent matters. If you're a parent who likes taking pictures, you should do the same as soon as your kid is old enough to understand and respond to the question.
I should probably write a blog on how to do this. I have a setup guide for myself, but unfortunately it contains a lot of obviously private details that I can't post (ie access to my cloudflare/VPN stuff).

A lot of my stuff is ad-hoc from my personal exploration and experience on Linux.

In regards to the wireguard specific stuff, this isn't a bad guide.

https://mikkel.hoegh.org/2019/11/01/home-vpn-server-wireguar...

The harder part with the VPN stuff is the following.

1) Setting up a clear route of forwarding traffic to the pihole. To do so, you would need to setup netplan/systemd-networkd so your pi gets a static private IP. (Not that easy if you are doing a full ipv6 route too.)

2) Setup a DDNS mechanism (as you most likely are getting a dynamic IP). My suggestion for this was to get a domain name (8 quid a year) and use cloudflare as a DDNS host. You also need to punch a UDP port through your router to forward to your pi.

3) Then setup the rest of the wireguard stuff.

4) Setup the pihole and ensure all interfaces are covered so your VPN has a DNS server.

Part 2 is the hardest bit as I kind of needed some custom scripting to ensure cloudflare had working routes to my networks. e.g. https://gist.github.com/Kedstar99/2d8ab0e9bec3a5629562b4ab01...

The above script obviously running as a systemd service that restarts automatically.

Obviously you can use something else like noip or some other DDNS solution.
I don't agree with it, either. First, many lenses in the film era gave a bit softer results. Second, the transitions in film are smoother, and higher-speed films have grain that tends to make faces look better than a digital sensor.
Well yes, the point of this subthread is not that it's impossible to do this well, but that bars/restaurants don't seem to care whether they're excluding the occasional unlucky customer. I'm in New York City and not a single person has scanned my vax QR code: they just see a vaguely official looking app with a name that matches my ID, or a physical vaccination card (conveniently sized to not fit in any wallets).

Also, in your case, is this a federal system or a state by state one? If the latter, this sounds way worse than what NY is doing; with my CA vaccination I couldn't get in anywhere.

Fwiw Alpine Linux is very easy to set up in diskless mode. That's what I used for my first Pi 4 install. It does boot up and load packages from the sd card, but after that everything runs from RAM.

This is why, after being both an engineer and a product manager (and VP of Product), and now a CTO of a seed stage startup, I’m fairly convinced PdMs are unnecessary. At least for the the type of company I’d like to build (WhatsApp as a primary example of that).

Off loading the founders vision to someone else is a failure of both communication and org structure (at the seed-SB stage). People may not think hiring their first PdM is offloading their vision, but it is. That person is going to come up with their own ideas, validate their own assumptions, and push for product updates that directly serve their own self interests. To think that this won’t happen is naive.

What I’ve found works the best is hiring competent engineers, giving them adequate business context, a decent design spec, and letting them figure it out.
>> one of the big problems was the Rust panics when you run out of memory, which is unacceptable in the kernel.

If the kernel is running out of memory, IMHO that's a bug. The kernel is ultimately responsible for memory management right? It needs to prioritize itself over everything else or the system is in trouble.
My understanding is that in Japan, engineers generally make a lot less money than they do in the USA, and that American companies with engineering offices in Japan tend to pay better.

Ask HN: Language design to mitigate supply chain attacks?
Question: Hacker News, if someone were designing a new programming language (or library system within an existing language) to mitigate supply chain attacks, what features would be most important to you?

Background: Open-source code has been an amazing boon for software productivity. However, I believe that most of the code that companies run isn't written by their own developers, it is from various packages and frameworks written by outside individuals and groups. My main focus is writing data intensive software where malicious actors, or just poorly written code, could compromise the confidentiality and/or integrity of customer data via a popular package/dependency. Better sandboxing of relatively untrusted code could be a huge boon for applications that have lots of plugins (think Chrome of VS code).

A few thoughts I have had on this front is limiting access of untrusted code to system calls that control file and network access is critical. Also, there would be a need to ensure that dependencies can't "takeover" a process by overwriting the call-stack to run their own code or spawning a new thread / process. Interested in your thoughts.
I use one for the clock in my bedroom. I use FullPageOS to load a web page that contains the time, date and weather (Open Weather gives you 60 checks per minute for free - way more than I need). The clock is on a full size monitor so the wife and I can see it without our glasses on.

I basically deployed a nodejs app and configured FullPageOS to load that local page. The clock itself is just HTML and JavaScript (jQuery, bootstrap, moment.js) - there is no servers side code beyond basically the "connect+serve-static to server the index.html file.

Oh, and it plays the comet from Star Trek Deep Space Nine's Title Credits on the hour in the background.
