I dislike any compliance document that requires paid & external vendors, so would love to see that factored out

SOC I vs SOC II helps get at these kinds of distinctions in practice. I've seen a lot of conversations enabled by that. "We did the SOC I software checklist. At some point, we'll pay vendors $50K-250K for SOC II, feel free to fast track that now as part of our contract."

I get why it's there, but this kind of thing is also why, despite being designed to address a real need, initiatives like FedRAMP have been slow & expensive disasters in practice. We should be pushing to self-serve & automated accreditation, and all the way to 1 person projects. Anything that puts third parties, people, and $$$ in the critical path needs to be split out.
https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/pull/22262 - Just as a heads up, the PR to add this functionality back in was merged half an hour ago.

Maybe it was an evil scheme to sell more VS licenses, but they've at least backtracked and the functionality has been restored for other clients.

2. Spend 1 or 2 minutes reviewing each candidate with the Technical Hiring Manager who needs to fill a role.
3. Send the filtered candidates a templated message asking if they are interested.

Perhaps. But I'd rather be there for lacking compassion for the inconsiderate and intolerant than for punching down at the most vulnerable people in our society. Hopefully I'll at least end up in a different house than the commenter I initially replied to...
I've been finding Nix on macOS kind of addictive, although it seems really sad to run it in a VM as in the OP, when it works natively and the whole point is perfect side-by-side package compatibility! I literally just now finished hacking together a home-manager module (https://github.com/Smaug123/nix-dotfiles/pull/4) to manage JetBrains Rider's configuration given that `dotnet` is in the Nix store now.

If you're talking about mining, setting up a mining farm with hundreds of GPUs isn't easy or cheap at all.
It is very durable. It withstood 1000 degree heat for 2 hours in referenced paper, there are no moving parts on the storage itself, it doesn't require additional energy to sustain records, records themselves don't deteriorate over time, and glass by nature is quite resistant to mechanical damage(outer few mm obviously shouldn't be used). If stored correctly, I see no reason for it not lasting a few million years.

Tanks and bombs (something the US also produces in spades (why would the USSR need an equipped military??)) are also consumables, they aren't additional investment in core heavy industry. They detract from economic growth and civilian improvements (though some military technologies do come back and help other areas of technical development).

The urban centers had something like 10-20% of the population. If the peasants all moved to the cities, there would a) be not enough jobs and b) no food as no one would be producing it.

My friend built TrueUp (https://www.trueup.io/rankings). It has curated listings and rankings of companies related to diversity, ethical issues, employee happiness, and so on. This may be a useful tool when researching what companies to work for.

Let me note that you didn't cite what office these qualifications hold for. I don't mean to single you out here: it seems that this is usually how it goes.

But I'd like to suggest that there are very different qualifications for executives, legislators, and parts of the judicial system (when they are electable). Like, maybe a legislator needs to have that ability to work with science that you mention, in order to devise the best possible policies. But that seems much less important for an executive, who needs more of your anti-yes-man quality than does a legislator. And so forth.
Coming to this website every day to get downvoted and flagged is something not to worry about. I mean, have you read the things people say here? The ideas that are popular? Do you really want to be "the upvoted guy"?
Its nice to see it play out. It wasn't clear what the outcome of this idea would be, in LA and NYC (parts of the country I frequent) it is very common to see people with very prideful exclusionary rhetoric in favor of left goals. In person, on twitter, directly on their profile on dating apps, at comedy clubs vilifying moderates and independents in their routines.

So it is interesting to see these election results reported as a consequence from elected officials attempting to actually go further left.

Regarding your observation about the Lt. Gov, it is nice to see more independent and random amalgamations of American ideals within black American candidates, as people have overly discounted the possibility of any minority objectively prioritizing a political goal above physical attributes they were born with, which is an extremely discriminatory assumption that people are still comfortable making.
If we want to generalise:

Eastern Europe is hit or miss. I had some good experiences and plenty of terrible ones (more so recently). I think that eastern Europe used to be good, but there are plenty of actors milking the scene and reputation of eastern Europe.
I know 2 smart fellas making bank selling remote junior developers from Hungary and Poland to London clueless companies for slightly cheaper than senior London prices.

India, middle east, south asia has been an absolute nightmare every time we tried.

I think the future of outsourcing is going to be Russia: they can't speak English if their life depended on it but they're capable developers and paid ridiculously low. A few more years and people will start being a bit more fluent in English.

This is still assuming the USA and Europe will still have any relevance - maybe they should start learning Chinese.
Ok, let's have a look what the vaccine manufacturers claimed in their phase 3 study papers about the durability of the protection:

BioNTech/Pfizer [1]: "This report includes 2 months of follow-up after the second dose of vaccine for half the trial participants and up to 14 weeks’ maximum follow-up for a smaller subset. Therefore, both the occurrence of adverse events more than 2 to 3.5 months after the second dose and more comprehensive information on the duration of protection remain to be determined."

Moderna [2]: "Another limitation is the lack of an identified correlate of protection, a critical tool for future bridging studies. As of the data cutoff, 11 cases of Covid-19 had occurred in the mRNA-1273 group, a finding that limits our ability to detect a correlate of protection. As cases accrue and immunity wanes, it may become possible to determine such a correlate."

AstraZeneca [3]: "In this interim analysis, we have not been able to assess duration of protection, since the first trials were initiated in April, 2020, such that all disease episodes have accrued within 6 months of the first dose being administered. Further evidence will be required to determine duration of protection and the need for additional booster doses of vaccine."

Johnson & Johnson [4]: "A limitation of the trial is the relatively short follow-up, which was necessitated, as in other Covid-19 vaccine trials, by the urgent need for vaccine. The data do not suggest a waning of protection."

Again, I agree that we likely need to build more housing.
But when you're living in a "humanitarian crisis", leaving empty units empty is a luxury which we currently choose to permit. But that choice isn't mandatory, and it does reflect on us.

If a property hasn't sold for months, why _shouldn't_ someone be able to live in it? Some units listed for rent remain listed for an extended period. I lived across from a unit which was empty for more than 18 months. It was listed at substantially above market, and the landlord was just being picky. Should it remain her prerogative to leave it empty until she finds the tenant of her dreams if in the meantime people's lives may be threatened by living without shelter?

Maybe the answer is yes. Maybe you think the rights of a property owner to make decisions about how they will profit from their property is more important than all the other considerations, including risks to life. Is it yes for all such goods in short supply? When hospitals didn't have ventilators, if you had functional ventilators unused and in storage, would it have been ethical to let them remain there? Should it have been legal?

These are all choices. And currently we choose to privilege rights of property owners above a human right to shelter. And when we do build, if we build luxury condos, that's a choice too. If we repeatedly and consistently decide that it's more important that property owners and developers be able to make as much money as they can than for people to be housed, then we've chosen to have a homeless crisis, because we're a homeless crisis kind of people with homeless crisis values.

Hooray, we got what we want.
Don't Be Afraid to Scale
Where can I make 150-200k/year in federal IT?
Some great discussion and insights here thanks everyone.

My continued thoughts: since this is a framework for trying to reduce cognitive load, I'm now thinking a pragmatic approach would be to try it out a few times, either as a set of function steps or a set of class steps and see whether one approach falls out as a preferable pattern to default too.

Thinking about it, I can see why classes might be a reasonable default, if you don't need the state, it doesn't matter, if you do, you might be tempted to refactor the script which I think detracts from the goal of this framework.

If anyone is using this, in python, would be interesting to hear their experience.

If a team member says they worked on Jira #X and will continue working on it other members should be asking for the technical details. Everyone should be giving 1-2 sentences of the technical details of what you worked on yesterday and the same for today. It is up to the team to question what is happening not just for accountability and ensuring people aren't going off on already explored paths, but also to ensure the standup is actually interesting. A blocker isn't the only reason other team members might need/want to get involved in what someone is working on.
Closed source? https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/tree/master/tsl/src...
I'm really disappointed to see this get mentioned in this context, it's not relevant. At least on debian, ssh -Y and ssh -X has done the same thing since like 2013 because ssh -X is broken and causes clients to crash. The "sandboxing" there doesn't really work. And it's a lot more than a little love that they need to get them working, the whole reason Xephyr sandboxing exists is because Xsecurity and XACE are so broken that it's unusable.

Slightly off topic, but if this experiment https://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/37259/mythbusters-grain-ye... is correct, bread yeast is specialized, and doesn't spread by air very well.

I can easily imagine someone with a genetic trait that malforms a single protein could end up with a heritable sensitivity to one particular yeast strain, and not all yeast, everywhere.
Ask HN: What piece of code could deserve a Pulitzer prize?
In an interview about literate programming (the concept that programs are not just written for computers to read, but for humans to read too), Knuth said that he hoped that one day there would be a Pulitzer prize for programs.

If there would be one, which piece of code do you think would deserve it?
> I guess Mozilla doesn't want me to know what "Colorways" are.

They don't. They want the user to try it out, to get them get used to a temporary feature. Who on Earth would want to get used to a temporary feature?

Compare it to subscription software. I hate such, I prefer to buy a license and own it forever, but I understand devs gotta eat. With a subscription software at least you know next month/year/whatever you are going to have to pay for access or the next version. With Mozilla Firefox, the feature is... going to be removed.

I'm very curious who came up with this idea. I wonder if its some marketing fellow who has zero clue about technology. Cause it very much feels like a feature from the physical world being applied to the digital one. Improperly applied, I might add.

Or perhaps its a lie to trigger FOMO, and in 2 versions they'll say "ah, due to the great success we are going to keep the feature" or they'll perhaps make it part of Mozilla subscription. Which is, TBH, fair enough, but then it makes me feel like a beta tester. Which is, TBH, fair enough, but be upfront about it and I opted out of beta tests/surveys/etc.
It's still a pretty shit system. A good system would have more than 2 people and instant runoff.
> I am unable to find a single reliable source that says mask wearing has any sociological or psychological effect on children or anyone else.

You are looking for the wrong thing. Look for what the benefits of things like smiling and seeing smiling faces has on people's emotional health.

> A happy face signals positive emotions, as well as attachment availability, care, support, and credibility [7,8,9]. Recently, Tamir and Hughes [10] argued that positive social signals such as smiling faces not only serve ultimate goals (e.g., forming strong bonds) but they are also rewarding in and off themselves.

Hiding the main part of your face - the smile is not healthy for people, and especially not for kids whose entire social skills development heavily relies on these things.

Big companies can be good or bad depending on which team you are part of. Also, your relationship with your manager ultimately decides your fate in most cases.
PLA is actually the stiffest of those materials, just keep it cool enough that it doesn't warp! I expect that would only be a problem around the spindle which can get quite hot, and maybe stepper motor mounts.

This. You hit the nail on the head - posturing of tech people. These people talk about racism and poverty as if they are solved issues. The policy has become - here's an olive branch, now it's your fault for being homeless.

The old way this stuff was handled was a social safety net - not one based in economic policy, but one that was churches and just people that cared. I think both still exist, but the current state of things is seeing a massive shift from selflessness to selfishness is actually having an effect.

The selfishness comes from a place of - it's not my problem it's now handled by policy X so I don't need to bother personally.
Perhaps the biggest "fake-out" in 21st century computing: Google publicly released its MapReduce paper -- directing most of the rest of the industry toward loosely coupled, overly complex distributed data processing systems like Hadoop for the following decade -- but internally they just bought a bunch of atomic clocks and built a distributed RDBMS.

I know this is a somewhat simplified story, but it does make me chuckle.

I'm no crypto bro, but what an asinine comment. Heck, you can probably launder shoes much easier than RTX 3080s.

Side-note: why is HN so anti-crypto? I mean, I personally think it's a bubble and I'm not super invested in crypto, but I do know (not-particularly-bright) people that have made 7-figures already this year by flipping NFTs. I feel that if most HNers would just build a crypto business (DeFi, arbitrage, NFTs, tokenomics, etc.), they'd basically be overnight millionaires.
It's interesting by my finger is already tired by 2019 on there. I need to do a full arm scroll to reach the bottom. Can something be done to increase sensitivity? Could you also show the scroll bar so I can manually go to a place? Or a mini map like in an RTS game? It would help to know how far it goes down before I invest more energy in scrolling so far.

Also if this is a serious resume, will you be adding some achievements and contributions to those positions you listed?

To be fair to Typescript, it's an insane fundamental aspect of JS.
I recently learned that drugs have become more dangerous and more damaging not due to customer demand, but because of the war on drugs. You need to transport a lot less fentanyl than cocaine for the same effect strength. Meth also had changed to work without ingredients we have banned. This has made meth much more damaging. I wonder what things would look like if we just took the Portugal route.

To be clear, I wasn't criticizing your suggestion; I appreciate it. I was just going off on a tangent. Back on that tangent:

> have a decent enough mental model and vernacular to know how to ask the right questions

I think people greatly overestimate themselves. A lack of expertise can result in very confused mental models and the wrong questions. IME in domains in which I have expertise, places like Reddit are filled with people with the wrong models, asking the wrong questions, and others answering based on the same wrong models. In their echo chamber, it looks right. Not different, I suspect, from any non-scientific theories, such as those before modern science.

My understanding of nutrition isn't much different than many in this thread (though others clearly know more than I do); I just evaluate our understanding as much less accurate than many others do.

Does WoW use LuaJIT? I thought it used the reference Lua 5.1 VM, simply because that was the newest version when it was first released.

I’m not sure it’ll ever happen. AFAICT LuaJIT is so complex that only its author, Mike Pall, understands it well enough to make major changes. He has expressed his dislike for several of the changes in Lua >= 5.2.

Seems strange that theft invalidates a warranty from first principles, its not like they took it apart or something
I remember my x52 drive would make at least 2 or 3 "test" spins every time I'd insert a disk, just to see how fast it can spin it. It felt like an airplane taking off every time I'd put a new scratch-less disk.

I had one year warranty on that drive. This "feature" stopped working exactly one week after my warranty expired, it would just go full speed regardless of how beaten the disks were.

That's how I got two of my heavily scratched disks shatter.

A few more weeks down the road, the function that's supposed to slow down a disk before a full stop, also stopped working... so now even if a disk was spinning at x52 inside and you'd press the eject button, it would instantly stop the motor and eject it!

That's when I finally threw it away and got myself a "normal" x46 or x44 (don't remember) drive...
