That's not really much of a position. You got offers from some that solve one problem, and didn't from others that solve a different problem. I'm basically here as well, and I know that software development can be soul-destroying, so you need to get what you can out of it and try to find a place that satisfies both areas if you can. More money, past a certain point, doesn't necessarily bring more life value unless you're a consoomer. But you do want to probably be around that point anyway
We are treaty bound to protect you and possibly die to do so in times of war, just like you have for us. Let’s keep it in perspective. If you really think the US is no different from China, I’m not sure there is anything I could ever say to convince you otherwise. If you live long enough, you see governments make bad decisions, some in retrospect, some from the beginning, and when you dig deep, you can often find it is associated with some individuals who had a lot to gain from those decisions. We spy, you spy, we all spy.
Defense is at the base of the pyramid in terms of national security. I can see some well intentioned individual in the CIA thinking that spying re: Airbus is important because it could impact our national security in terms of aircraft manufacturing and production, and how do we accommodate for the future as we lose market share and lay off skilled workers? There are legit reasons to know how the world is changing so you can adjust to it, but yeah maybe the US Government should have just asked.
But I doubt they wanted to use this knowledge to bury Europe or keep them under or thumb, or whatever. Yes we compete but it is more flag football than ultimate fighting. With China I am not so sure - we will see.

>I have offers which look positive from a financial and career progression point of view, but in boring products which not interest me at all and which have no upside at all.

>Have you ever been in that position? What did you do?

Yes, I chose the "boring" job that with fabulous compensation. (It was proprietary accounting systems and it paid better than FAANG.) I spent 10+ years at it and made a lot of money but it's also one of my biggest regrets. Consider 2 groups:

- (group A) prioritize money more than the particular job. They can compartmentalize the boring job and do the fun stuff on the weekend.

- (group B) people prioritize interesting work more than the money. As long as the job offers a decent salary, that's good enough.

I thought I was in group A but it turns out I was actually in group B.

However... the big caveat with my anecdote... The problem with answering your question is that the right choice depends on _your_ personality.
Prices aren't obvious. Movies are a good example of this.

>Surprisingly, during the court battles over the legality of the VCR, the studios began selling their movies on Betamax and VHS—to play on the very devices they were trying to outlaw. Trying to have it both ways, they began selling movies on video cassettes for retail prices up to $100). In 1977, Twentieth Century Fox was the first when they released Patton and MAS*H, which had been in theaters seven years prior, and The Sound of Music, which had its theatrical release in 1965. The first movies on videocassette weren't exactly new releases. Given a family of four could watch a movie at the theater for about $15 in 1977, $100 for a videocassette of the same movie seemed outlandishly expensive. But from the studios' perspective, that was a fair price to own a movie versus the lower price to rent a seat in a theater to watch it. The price Fox set for these first releases became the standard for the industry.

Experience matters.

If you want to increase your ability to get the jobs you want, working at a well-known firm for a few years is the most straightforward way to boost your resume. People with a few years of Google or Microsoft on their resume often move to the front of the line for hiring.

Take one of the well-paying jobs. Do well, leave a good impression, and network well among the people you meet. Re-evaluate in a few years. Who knows, you may discover you like these companies a lot more than you think. If not, your resume will be well-prepped for the next move.
Blogs that don't preach excessively and instead take a 'balance of opinions' or 'balance of approaches' view are more interesting. In particular a blog that states 'there is one best way to approach this particular engineering problem and all others are rubbish' is one I would avoid.

They are just the new ponzi scheme, the new penny stocks, the new internet scam. I dare anyone who claims to believe in NFTs to put their entire net worth in NFTs and put that into escrow for 10 years. The crypto eco-system is mostly about scams. It was interesting tech but it should just be outlawed at this point.

Banking establishment should take note. They often over-complicate things and rely on "security through obscurity". Monzo opening up their security architecture and even some of their source code puts them to shame. I really like the air gap Notebook and custom OS on CD-R and their ceremonies. It looks like they got very competent people to think it through properly.

Source: formerly at one of the largest banks.
A few things:

- Since all the components we purchase are kept air-gapped, you'd need to already be on a machine in the air-gapped system (which isn't assembled and powered on except when we need to deal with key material) to exploit a vulnerability

- We're keeping things as minimal as possible in what we trust from coming out a store, for example if we purchase a Laptop we gut it of most of its components before it goes near our key material, Laptop's dont need batteries (or even CMOS batteries) to run basic live systems so they're going out.

- Compromising one part of the system won't let you sneak private key materials out on its own by-design, the part we've tried to make the hardest is exfiltration, the only material that leaves the air-gapped system leaves either as QR codes on a screen or on CD-R drives that we keep for years in a safe in their own tamper evident bags. This is all part of an effort to try and make sneaking private material out (even if you had full control of the system) as difficult as possible to do without being detected.
I work in IT in a German company. Every user has admin rights on the local machine. Why? Because the IT-Boss couldn't figure out how to allow installing updates (software and OS) on Win 7 without having admin. And then there is the semi-official "shadow IT".
The range doesn’t have anything to do with “numbers” directly because yes you can always say there is an infinity between any two numbers no matter how close they are to each other. The very limited range is actually captured in physical quantities.

Back to the original analogy Pi is always exactly Pi not because we count it as 3.14~… but because of the relationship between the various innate properties of a circle.

So fine tuning isn’t that oh gosh we got very oddly specific values here is that we have problems such as https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchy_problem that are only solvable through fine tuning.

So back to the circle it’s really a case of use not understanding the relationship between the circumference and the radius and just brute forcing the value of Pi which is really what fine tuning is.

There's going to be a risk to running someone else's code. There are two factors here:

1) Do I trust the code I think I'm running.
2) Am I actually running the code I think I'm running.

With (1) there's not really any way around it: someone or something has to review the code in some way.

Even the suggestion to have a larger standard library doesn't really address it: with a larger standard library the rust project needs more maintainers, and it might just get easier to get vulnerabilities into the standard library.

Someone could build a tool that automatically scans crates uploaded to crates.io. It could look for suspicious code patterns, or could simply figure out what side-effects a crate might have, based on what standard library functions it calls, and then provide that information to you. For example, if I'm looking for a SHA256 crate, and I notice that the crate uses the filesystem, then I might be suspicious.

With (2) there are some easier options, such as making it easier to download or browse the contents of a crate directly from crates.io, or have a tool to show the full dependency source diff after a `cargo update`. For initially installing the crate, the number of downloads is a pretty good indicator of "is this really the crate I meant?".

There is no experiment that can settle this - collapse can be shown to exist, but it cannot be shown to not exist, just not for a particular system at a particular scale. In other words, experimenters can push the possible size of a quantum superposition upwards, but they will never be able to disprove the claim "if it were but a bit bigger, it would collapse."

The blockchain tells you that you "own" whatever was at the URL at the point of time that it was written onto the chain. There is no continuing or on-going guarantee that the content at the URL won't change after that. If there is no content hash in the receipt and the original URL is now defunct, how do you prove authenticity?
Apparently it's usually "step trash can". I have to credit the Brits once again for their wordsmithery, as pedal bin is substantially more mellifluous imo. "Bin it" is also a lot more efficient than "throw it out" and less harsh than "trash it." (Although we do also use "toss it", that seems less common.)

Not as serious as the "Al-Aqsa" issue in the post, but if you post a picture of Momo, a sculpture by a Japanese artist, to your own timeline, you get a two day block. I think a lot of their moderation system might be a bundle of crude if-statements thrown up to put out temporary fires they're dealing with.
To me that just further illustrates the point that GNU failed. I mean it's right there in the name, it's supposed to be "GNU's not Unix" but the only parts anyone actually uses are clones of Unix that get used on a different Unix-like operating system (Linux) which is not GNU. And the desktop environments also don't have anything to do with GNU. IIRC the only official desktop environment of GNU is GNUstep, which I don't even think is actually packaged by any distros at the moment.
Except it's not just a markup format. When connecting it to the agenda system in emacs you end up with emacs lisp snippets (easily, not always) in your org files. And that's just part of the basic usage:

%%(org-anniversary 2021 11 18) It's been %d years since the 50,000th org-mode thread on HN.

Or with org-babel you can have different blocks of code interact with and reference each other:

That's a lot more than markup at this point since you can run those inside of org-mode.

At the highest level:
Budibase - open source + self-host via docker, K8s, DO
Budibase - use handlebars and JavaScript for data binding
Budibase - desktop, tablet, mobile apps
Budibase - public and private apps
Budibase - built in automation interface

Powerapps - very reliant on microsoft ecosystem (sharepoint, excel)
Powerapps - uses Power fx
Powerapps - mostly made for tablet and mobile apps
Powerapps - private apps + portal
Powerapps - i think powerapps makes use of another Microsoft tool for automation

I feel the components and outputted apps are better within Budibase.
PowerApps is more mature than Budibase so it has an ecosystem of consultants
Orgzly does the job for Android, same workflow you describe but with org files.

An NFT is a bit like going to a book signing. The author sits there, but instead of signing your book, he just hands you a piece of paper with a number printed on it and says "next". You also need to give him a pile of casino tokens in exchange.

With luck, somebody else will appreciate your story of how the famous author touched this uniquely numbered piece of paper while thinking about his book, and will give you a larger pile of casino tokens for it.

Whether anyone ever has a copy of the book doesn't really come into it.
I use “cargo … —-locked” to install things using the dependencies from the Cargo.lock file, which includes specific commit hashes for dependencies. Avoids things like the 0.0.1 problem or even replaced crates. Need to be careful to watch for actual security updates, though.

I really wish crates.io would have at least launched with a name spacing feature. This wouldn’t solve every spoofing or typosquatting issue, but it would go a long way toward improving the situation.

There’s a separate issue of crates.io squatting. One person famously registered hundreds (or thousands? Tens of thousands) of common words as crate names on crates.io and has been squatting them ever since. Those names are effectively unavailable for use but also completely useless because they don’t contain anything.

It’s also becoming a huge problem for abandoned crates. New forks have to choose a completely different, less intuitive name because they can’t just namespace their alternative. As old crates get abandoned, this leads to weird situations where the newest, best maintained crate has the least obvious crate name. It takes work to find the good crate some times because the best named crates might just be the oldest, most abandoned ones
When it comes to international relations I would depend on (not exactly trust, but close enough) my government more than Mozilla. When it comes to browser implementation topics I trust Mozilla more than any government.

There is nothing intrinsic to any system of government that would make any of them good at solving technical issues on their own.
"Stable-ish social order" is a byword for homogeneity, isn't it?

We were all nerds, mostly descended from Europeans, associated with post-war higher education, learning through math or reading, and critical thinking. We had (inside the US) geographic diversity, but otherwise had very similar social norms. The wide range of social norms from UC Berkley to WUSTL to MIT.

Everybody you met on a BBS was likely to be interesting to you, because they were another person with interests significantly like yours.

The worst parts of the "open" internet today are full of people who see your interests as antithetical to their own interests.
I keep reading that all the time in tech forums, and it's just so far off the truth.

It always baffles me how we tech people lose sight of a product's quality and usability the moment it's a FOSS product. We feature new products here on HN everyday, which is "like X but better", and it gets lots of upvotes in the style of "OMG finally someone builds something better".

But then you have a FOSS initiative, and because of FOSS, we turn two blind eyes?

People in an administration don't care about FOSS or not FOSS. And they shouldn't. Their job is to solve other problems. IT and software is there to serve the administration. If, as a user, I can't get my actual job done, or only with much more hassle than before, then that's all that matters.

If we want FOSS to succeed in administrations, we have to put the same product hat on that we wear when we look at all the other software showcased here on HN. And Limux (that was the project's name) just brutally failed here.

And consist of probably 80% of the fixed expenses of most people. So while the exact weight is up for debate, saying that inflation is incredibly high is a reasonable argument.
Overall I like yuval noah harrari's point about our systems, that liberal democracies and free market are based on the assumption that we have rational individuals making decisions in their self-interest. Which is not true at all, in today's day and age where misinformation and propaganda run rampant. You cannot rely on individual judgement to get us out of a pandemic. Same can be stated about climate change. I would say it's more alarming with climate change, since the consequences of our actions are stretched out in the far future (atleast when compared to covid). How the heck are we going to get people/companies/govt to get in line with what's needed for the survival of our species?
> There is nothing at all to keep me from screenshotting or otherwise downloading that image. I won't have to pay the author $213 for it, I just take the image because I can.

This is like saying: There's nothing stopping me from downloading the Bitcoin source and running my own network. Now I have bitcoins and I didn't have to pay someone $60k for each one.

Yes, you have bitcoins but they're not the bitcoins anyone cares about. Likewise, you have a copy of the image of this NFT but you don't have the actual NFT that members of that community care about. NFTs are a club and if you want to join you have to buy one.

Now, you can argue whether anyone should want to join such a club but that's a totally different issue from the right-click-save criticism.
Few people want to join a small community with an entrenched social hierarchy though. In the microblogging world there's also a hierarchy, but the old guard gets pushed aside, replaced, or made irrelevant more often. Newcomers have a more immediate shot at "greatness".
> Bitcoin has yet to achieve price stability against real goods, because the price of bitcoin versus the real dollar goes up and down by tens of percent on a monthly basis.

True, but Bitcoin still has a fixed supply. If adoption continues (and it might not), it does provide protection against an inflated dollar.

> If you want price stability, use Tether.

But price stability does not protect you from inflation, which was the point here.
I would say being deceived is also getting hurt…
to me this is huge. HN, Reddit, twitter all encourage (or enforce) strict limits on post size. This seems to encourage a conversational aproach to discussion, and discourage longer discourse. HN certainly does have long posts, and I appreciate that, especially when it comes from someone with real world experience in a field under discussion. But something about forums seems to give people permission to give more detailed responses. I've read magazine article length posts on topics such as palladium printing or ARP 2500 schematics that have been amazingly informative, and weren't even topic starter posts but rather detailed answers to simple questions asked by a less knowledgable forum member.

In the real world, I'd rather read a book than have a conversation, so this appeals to me.
While I don’t argue with the article, as someone who worked for a while in Singapore I have a different take: I travel extensively and it seemed to me that people in Singapore were happy, productive, going about their work and leisure. I really loved it there, but I did spend about 15 minutes reading stuff on the web about their laws before going there.

I live in the USA, and it seems like culturally we tend to think that our country is the best place in all dimensions. I love traveling and enjoying the differences in different places. I think that it is a slippery slope downwards criticizing different cultures and legal systems.
I'm in the midst of building an internal place for APIs, documentation, etc. It's shared with people we integrate with as well. We use confluence as a wiki internally, which is... OK, but.

I'm looking at redoc for the OpenAPI side of things, but would dearly love to be able to attach a static comment link to the elements to allow for questions and responses.

We have OAuth in front of it and the audience is controlled, so spam/moderation is not really relevant.

Suggestions?
I recommend using a "polite" script many people use: "Feel free to let me know when you're available. If you prefer, you can choose from my availability here." It opens the door for the other person first.
you have web portals for outlook at least (doesn't make it usable though, my daily struggles!)

Then there's MS teams. I'd rather it just not run anywhere (die) instead of being a "good enough" solution bundled in to the suite. At least if it weren't there we could use something usable like slack instead.

Cargo-crev's writ seems to be much more expansive and nebulous than security:

https://github.com/crev-dev/cargo-crev/wiki/Howto:-Create-Re...

> While it's still open for debate, the current opinion is that additional fields are not useful for the downstream users. Instead they just complicate their life, putting the burden of the decision from the reviewer onto them. At the end, a downstream user of a review just wants to know: "is it OK to use this package or not?". Your role as a reviewer is to provide that judgment.

That irks me. I don't care about popularity contests, I only care whether a crate is malicious or not. If it has security vulnerabilities, I can deal. But if downloading and running a proc macro crate build runs gives an attacker remote code execution and they install a keylogger on my dev box, that's altogether different.
