It's unfortunate that there are companies that operate this way.

Presumably you are there because they wanted you there. Making a change to accommodate one person shouldn't be a big deal. I've said it a few times in these threads already, but processes should never be set in stone. You should always assume your processes will change. It doesn't have to be a huge change, just finding something that works for everyone. Of course, there is always going to have to be compromise, but the conversation should be allowed to be had.
Show HN: I built a CNC-machine from scratch, using 40x 3D-printed parts
Auditing Unsafe Passwords
Better to assume it’s possible rather than likely. If you have motivated enemies they can do it already, you’d need to be worth the effort for them to want to attack you.
Interesting. Thank you. I was just wondering if your viewpoint was from a non-developer perspective.
I just finished my latest project, building a CNC-machine from scratch using an Arduino Uno, GRBL and 40x 3d-printed parts. It’s able to mill wood and aluminium, up to ~20mm thick.

As with all my other projects, I think they should be executed in the open where other people can learn from my mistakes and get inspired to build their own things! Therefore I’ve spend a lot of time writing a free complete tutorial of the build, documenting every step with text and detailed images, creating a complete bill of materials (including STL-files for the 3d-printed parts) etc. I don’t want any dependencies on DIY-websites, so I’ve hosted it on GitHub, where anyone can clone it locally.

I built this machine to gain more knowledge about mechanical engineering, electrical wiring, stepper motors, GRBL, CAD, CAM etc. Also, I guess I can build new fun things with the machine? Overly-engineered birdhouses maybe?

Setup:

* It’s running on an Arduino Uno, CNC-shield and GRBL.

* 40 parts are 3d-printed (all the red parts in the video)

* It’s based on Ivan Miranda’s blueprints, but I’ve adjusted some parts and structured the bill of materials.

* It uses 2x 19:1 geared NEMA17 stepper motors for the Y-axis and 1x for the X-axis. The Z-axis is using a standard NEMA17 motor.

* HTD5M belts and pulleys are used for X-axis and Y-axis. GT2 belt and pulleys are used for the Z-axis.

Testing dates/romantic prospects on leetfood might not be a bad idea
I bet they have pretty epic red/blue action, though.
It's a major issue, and not easily fixed unless the design is implausibly suitable (raw IDs in the input imply the absence of any ID management).
Hee, hee, hee!
For discreet tests it's best to keep it small and do it by hand. Bulk data in my experience is problematic - if multiple testing relies on it it quickly becomes frozen due to potential conflicts. And then it needs updating as the product changes.
Ask HN: Gift Ideas for Kids?
Over the years I've read some really good gift suggestions on HN. It's probably a good year to shop early, so I'm wondering if anyone has a good suggestion for gifts for kids? Not necessarily tech-related, but things that aren't widely known but have been really good gifts.

My son is almost 11, but if you have suggestions for any age I'm sure someone will be interested.

Thanks!
To see another attempt of serving a webpage off of solar power: take a look at https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/about.html -- it has techniques I find pretty unique for conserving power. All the images are rasterized in order to reduce page size among other things.

They appear to charge $10/mo which is $40-80 more than their direct competitor, National Review. I assume that the delta is the price of not including ads.
I guess I trust that they have no particular agenda besides explaining rather non-controversial topics.

So I trust them as much as I would trust, say, a high-school textbook
I see the issue with your premise. I don't test web frameworks. I do real work <ducks>

I very much routinely look at large data sets. They just happen to be wrapped up in a different container than ZIP. Typically, they are delivered in MOV, MP4, WAV, etc. I look at a 10MB file and try to remember the last time I counted that small.
Not necessarily. E.g. Hyperloop.
you know that thing where drivers see a bicyclist and just shut down because they are afraid they are going to dart out in front of them (not arguing with the instinct, bicyclists are pretty bad)

I ride near the waymo depot on the way to work. they always don't know what to do about me and pretty much just stop in confusion until I'm well clear. forget about construction. I just cant imagine what they would do in an actual urban environment.

this whole thing just feels like a deeply misplaced marketing excersise right now.
It's not even 1% of global energy consumption. It's the oil companies who are boiling the world but nobody dares to touch them. The cars, the factories, the developed nations and their comfortable lifestyles supported by such a highly polluting economy. China is the most polluting country in the world, but will the US, Europe stop trading with it? No. How will the west survive without its cheap consumer products? The very computers we're posting this on? Yet I'm expected to care about BTC energy consumption? No, I refuse to care. It's a drop in the ocean compared to the real problems that no government will lift a finger to solve.

That said, I'm totally open to new hobbies.

"GitHub Actions has become the #1 CI service, used by popular open source projects and enterprises alike."

I must be missing something. For whatever reason GH Actions just never appealed to me. Am I missing something? I've used Drone IO more, granted it's better than travis but the #1 CI services seems like a stretch.
What gets me is letters written by normal people, from the 19th and early 20th century US. Not authors, not statesmen, not business tycoons, not military officers—workers, minor bureaucrats, enlisted soldiers. They tend to read as very "high" language, to modern eyes. Working vocabulary, as you note, seems to be larger as well, even though it's easier than ever to remind oneself of the correct word, with modern tools.

> Indeed, it's been my observation that the written register has almost entirely disappeared

I think that's a lot of it. Then again, maybe people in the 19th century US spoke like that, too? I haven't looked into it. Surely there's a book about this....
Transplants are coordinated regionally. Jobs just purchased homes in multiple areas with shorter wait times than California. One of the advantages of being rich.
Yes, you're right, though that sort of goes to my question :)
> This spells the end of privacy on the Internet. Your phone 100% identifies you.

But I don't think Google mandates you to use a phone for 2FA? You can use any TOTP app or a U2F dongle like the Yubikey (or the Ledger Nano S, which has an U2F app).
X ran "fine" on those machines if you were ok with all the problems of 80s-90s era graphics such as flickering, tearing, windows taking noticeable time to be redrawn, stale contents when resizing or when something else moves above them, the occasional "solitaire effect" where the back buffer doesn't get cleared, or any of that other fun stuff from dealing with expose events...

Also I think it should be obvious by now that upgrading X step by step isn't viable anymore. That was already tried for 30 years and reached its limits of what you can do without breaking the core protocol, which Wayland has already demonstrated how most of that can be discarded.
It’s more like the video card: doing vsyncing, especially on video.
I would be very careful talking about personas, masks (this brings needless conversations). The most gentle way of describing it all is to talk about energies. You can be in a child-like playful energy, you can be in a 'focused on the task at hand, not minding emotions/people at all' energy. You can be in a (much discussed here) critical, judgmental energy directed towards you or others. You may or may not have access to your sensual/sexual energies.

So it is more about realizing these highly different kinds of energies or modus operandi are accessible to you (more easily than you can imagine) and finding out what status they have (Can I enjoy this kind of energy? Is it too strong in me, demonized, out of control? Unknown to me, dormant? Am I afraid of it?)

You seem (from my perspective and only from reading your comment) to be highly identified with a self which likes to be much in control and in Voice Dialogue (see below) is called Protector/Controller.

Once you realize nature of this process (many energies inside you) you can literally _talk_ to them (including Protector/Controler - being very important voice), but this is not required. Voice Dialogue is a method where one person talks with energies/voices of another person, but you may spend your whole life without any need to talk to your energies, simply being in this or that energy, where need be. However, from my experience, doing Voice Dialogue has a tremendous impact on a person - it is a complete shift, a very real phasic transition. Even getting in touch with this perspective (by reading a book about it or hearing about it) can make this shift happen.

As in the very article linked here - this will differ person to person. Even in Voice Dialogue, focused on conversation (to put it simply) you will encounter energies or people who operate more easily with images, some not very talkative, and so on. However, the strange point still stands - one can literally talk with your Inner Child and you can feel it.

This might seem a strange perspective, but throughout the years I have only met with curiosity and only twice (?) wtih total 'I reject it. Get away from me.' Some people fear that this view might disintegrate them, where in fact it has a great integrative character. Some may fear it. So you simply can talk to this part which fears it... and the fun begins.

I hope I somehow stayed on the point replying to your questions.
I'm a pessimist and when I look at the graft half-life in your article, it puts a wet blanket on things. For example, half of kidney transplants from a deceased donor fail in 7-9 years. That's not a lot of time. A lung gets you on average less than five years.

I would be interested in whether it's survivorship bias, or lack of in this case.
No? There can be a shortage of anything. I̶f̶ ̶s̶t̶o̶r̶m̶s̶ ̶k̶n̶o̶c̶k̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶2̶5̶%̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶c̶o̶r̶n̶ ̶f̶i̶e̶l̶d̶s̶ ̶n̶e̶x̶t̶ ̶y̶e̶a̶r̶,̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶c̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶r̶t̶a̶g̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶c̶o̶r̶n̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶r̶t̶a̶g̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶p̶e̶o̶p̶l̶e̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶p̶a̶y̶ ̶u̶p̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶c̶o̶r̶n̶?̶ (people can't get past the corn analogy)

What about the cost of housing? Do you call that a shortage or do you blame homebuyers for not paying enough?

In the US right now, the workforce participation rate is at all time lows. There are more than 5 million people that were working in 2019, that are not working/looking for work today. That is a lack of supply, AKA a shortage.

Also MicroPython, but that implements just a subset of the Python language.
It is slowly dying. I see 0o123 as a notation for octal much more frequently then in the past. On the same line with 0b010101.

Octal was a thing in the past, but is really seldomly used nowadays, in my impression.
Bad for the free world? That's a bit of a fucking stretch. I think you can pretty comfortably argue the power and e-waste situation created by PoW is much worse for the "free world" than a slightly stronger consensus mechanism for a speculative value store.
> Someone recently pointed out on IRC that Python is transitioning away from a language with "one implementation, and the implementation is the spec" to "one preferred implementation with an informal spec, but many alternative implementations".

It's been "transitioning" for as long as it existed. The alternative forks all eventually die.

Absolutely agree that a general purpose replacement for Xlib would be a massive pain, but providing sufficient support for the core protocol to let you add whichever request types you need is quite simple (and I lifted that from a decade old starting point and made it work).

And for my use I only need to support about a dozen requests types, and no third party libs, so it's not that bad. My starting point only linked with Xlib anyway, nothing else, and I verified which requests Xlib actually sent via xtruss before I started.

But of course, that's because I only want to actually use it for something very simple. If I wanted to do something more complex I'd wrap a higher level library instead.
I don't think it will. But having quantum computers able to crack 256-bit ECDLP in only 5 years seems even more far fetched.
actually, this is a pretty interesting move by facebook.

* If they put themselves in the position of "guardians of morality" they will be steamrolled by the amount of content on their platform. Good enforcement would cost billions, automated methods suffer false positives and negatives.
* Putting themselves in that position also makes them responsible for the content on their platform, opening them up to lawsuits and sactions.
* Failure to enforce results in being banned from countries altogether.

the alternative, which I haven't thought of before now, would be "fine, here's some admin controls for your countries. Now you can hire some people and moderate content as you like". This seems like a pretty brilliant move. No longer are facebook responsible for bad moderation, each government is. FB also save themselves a ton of money.

Will this be better or worse for consumers in the end? I'm actually not sure. There are actually some valid upsides to delegating moderation to the governments of the world.
"labor shortage" -> "immigration is needed" -> law of supply & demand kicks in, leading to lower wages

Remember that a "labor shortage" is always just a shortage at the current price.
Yes, a bivector has 3 degrees of freedom. I was mistaken when I wrote 5. I'll fix the text tonight.
You sort of have to be an aggressive driver too with taxis and delivery trucks, so I'm really curious to see how it all works out.

There's a theory paper on this: "Go ahead, make my day: Robot conflict resolution by aggressive competition"[1] This is a known problem with mobile hospital robot carts. Many hospitals have robot carts moving linens and meals around a big plant. If they make no attempt to get others out of their way, they keep getting stalled by people talking in halls and crowding into elevators. So some degree of pushyness has to be programmed in.

Cars, though. That may not work out as well. Maybe lighting and sound effects to encourage people to get out of the way.

How very HN, a comment about how very HN a comment is
> It is, however, bad that the government interferes.

I wrote something much longer, but to distill it down, the government didn't interfere. They did the very least they could possibly do compared to what they did for other transfers of wealth during the height of the pandemic.

Most people can't just go spend time with their family, and those toys are distractions from the shit show that is our corporate democracy.
There's a dead comment from a throwaway that I mostly disagree with. Except for this last line:

>This seems like the government outsourcing controversial activities to Israel.

It certainly feels that way to me, as well. The US is in a sticky situation. This just feels like a standard burn. You're caught, now you're out. NSO made too much noise and got cut loose. Obviously the NSA and others are going to continue this kind of work.
It’s before taxes and it’s typically total comp: base + bonus + equity
> The fun exercise here is not that this is yet another vapid post on HN, but that people are defending it.

It's quite plausible that the simple truth of the matter is that some people commenting here, defending the post, may feel that HN shouldn't be so very frequently cynical, negative, mean, quick to jump to assuming the worst about intentions, and so on. The Guidelines - for good reason - even go out of the way to try to drive users away from behaving that way.

If you are a b2b company your customers will start to ask you at a certain point. Not having it can break a deal for sure although having it won't make the deal.

My advice to you is gradually improve your infosec posture and policies etc but rather than kicking off the certification, wait until a customer asks you for it during vendor due dilligence, then say "we're working towards it" and immediately after the meeting commission one of the outside firms who do the evaluation for you.

The evaluation process takes a while and in my experience customers are understanding about that especially given b2b sales aren't exactly quick normally.
I am not getting the sense that people, who talking about global warming, will really follow up with the actions, when it concerns their wallets or their quality of life. Look at the number of the private jets at the COP26. Look at number of Hummers that Arnold Schwarzenegger (whom I love btw!) owns. He talks climate change but drives a Hummer.

By the same token, people with money, progressive or otherwise, will continue to invest in crypto as it is the highest yielding asset on the market. Kazakhstan became the 2nd largest crypto miner, after the US. It looks like they are balancing the demand for the energy supply between crypto miners and the rest of their customers. This sounds like a very reasonable thing for them to do.

We will see more regulations concerning the crypto currency and I think it's a good thing for the market. The regulations will ensure continuous growth and mainstream acceptance of crypto.
I can't wait to see one and punch the hood and yell "I'm walkin' here!"

Israel is hardly powerful in the US. US foreign policy is overall pretty antisemitic. Israel would own half of Egypt at least if the US didn't drive them out in the Yom Kippur War.
On the subject at hand, Israeli misdeeds in international law, I think the USA has been and continues to be uniquely dedicated to doing the wrong thing at all costs.
I'd recommend checking out the SSL2, Universal Audio Volt and Focusrite Scarlett. IMO always worth shopping used too.

I'd avoid the super cheap Behringers, M-Audios, and the like. These will typically be noisy and have essentially no resale value in the future, while quality brands hold most of their value and can be re-sold later if/when upgrading.
In NYC, most hospitals have a special elevator that, on the Sabbath, continually stops on every floor. This is to help orthodox Jews comply with their commitment to not turning electric devices on or off--they just board the elevator at the floor they want and get off when it arrives at their destination, without ever pushing any buttons.
Sounds more like a great reason to stay away from some of the most chaotic traffic in the US until it can be considered safer. There are far, far more pedestrians in NYC than in Phoenix, and I do not trust a Waymo car to not hit some of them.

It would never have happened without good Western journalism. Basically NSO was allowed to operate unless they screw up. Which they did with all the scandals, making Israeli look like crooks.
The evidence seems pretty strong that the world’s gonna get boiled anyway, fwiw.

It’s fine to hope that things might be different, but making decisions and plans based on that hope seems…imprudent.

I don't really think it's virtue signaling. "Virtue signaling" is itself an extremely tired cliche/accusation. To me it feels more like stock "relatability signaling", which gives me a similarly unctuous feeling. Kind of the nerd-corporatespeak version of "hello, fellow kids".
Wow, I can't imagine the struggle you must be going through in a masked-up world. That's got to be just incredibly frustrating and alienating.

Do you think maybe your hostility might be misdirected a bit though? Do you think it's fair to lash out at people who are advocating for more sensible mask usage for their intended purpose of preventing the spread of a virus and simply failing to consider the impact they have on you and the minority of others similarly afflicted?

I do think that pulling down a mask to communicate with a deaf person is probably the right thing to do, but I also think the person who you're responding to isn't off-base in a general assumption that most people doing that don't have such good reasons.
Theoretically, the price of corn would rise until demand falls to meet it at that price. Demand falls because consumers turn to substitutes (e.g. sugar vs corn syrup)
