Also "digitize" not "digitalize"
I assume you considered a bunch of different perspectives and concluded that one is more correct than the others. I was curious about the reasoning that went into your decision.

I went through that process myself a while ago and came to a different conclusion based on the idea that the meaning of a word or phrase in conversation is determined by what it communicates. I qualify with "in conversation" because there are audiences and venues where that's not necessarily true (like in a courtroom).
Particularly since it's only being done in four states. That explains why I'd never heard of the practice.
That is an extremely GamerGate-smelling list. Quotes are misinterpreted, overreacted to, and/or taken out of context.

That list does not contain juicy details; it does contain a level of grime that I figured would mean it would be left in the past as a historical GamerGate artifact and not pulled up in the Rust community in 2021.
> 3MF file format and why it’s great (2019)

>3MF, also called 3D Manufacturing Format is an open-source project developed by the 3MF consortium founded by Microsoft.

Everything Microsoft does is great. I wonder if i have to delete some registry keys to use it just like for my dvd drive /s
Fixing poor tone is definitely great, although I suggest if you edit, then make that clear, as otherwise you confuse people and people will silently assume you are acting in bad faith.

Note that I often downvote any mention of the word “downvote”: I am sure you asked in good faith, but as a sweeping generalisation, commenting on voting doesn’t improve conversation. Not knowing why you get downvotes is a “make you think” feature IMHO. I also believe excessively caring about votes is a red flag: some of the best commenters seem to be fairly neutral about caring what the HN voters think.

Not trying to start a conversation about voting and maybe my comment deserves downvotes. I am answering your implied question about why you might get a downvote even after your corrections to “tone”.
I'm sure real estate is part of the equation, though I doubt it really has much to do with the overall push to office.

The real reason at the end of the day is sociopath managers/execs. They see work from home as freedom and office as control. I've had C levels tell me straight up they don't care if it is more efficient to work at home. They would rather be able to scream at someone if something is wrong, they would rather have 10 people sitting around getting paid for nothing so they can storm in and round them up for some random project. They simply are not interested in putting together a well though out plan and sending it to everyone. In most of the world the people in charge are not in place because of competence or successful harmony of efficient work. They simply are looking out for themselves more viciously than other people did and now they are in charge.

I think mars settlement is an eventuality, someone will be there. I also think that settlement of mars has a huge first mover advantage, maybe unlike anything else in human history. It may even come before that with the first permanent lunar base and launch platform.
The US may be big, but the majority of people live in the same small set of metropolitan areas.
> The first step in addressing global climate change is realizing that it's not the sort of problem that more tech or more capitalism

The problem is that it seems more and more unlikely that anything will solve it aside from more tech. (I'll avoid the "capitalism" aspect as it's a fairly poorly defined term at least in it's common usage).

The ability to coordinate globally on a problem of mutual concern for the common good might have been viable at some points in history but it seems to be impossible right now. That might change as things get worse but at that point it might be too late for anything other than drastic solutions.

I can't see a way out other than "wait until it's awful and then throw a big chunk of the world's GDP at it" (or wait for a supervolcano to solve it for us)
Switching jobs might be the best solution. If you miss the motivation, you might want to learn about the role dopamin plays in motivation. A good start might be the podcasts at https://hubermanlab.com/
"Abandon computer science."

Of course, that's not super valuable advice now, sunken costs and all that. But there's nothing more depressing than entering a field with all kinds of hopes and dreams for the future, only to watch them get squashed by FAANG and ultimately realize that computers are a liability, not an opportunity.
Remote work could also be considered a significant cost cutting measure and one that, given to a startup, could result in a significant advantage. Startups don't hire juniors, so that's where I see this becoming more of a thing. All of those seniors out there that may never have considered remote work, why would they, they're paid great and live comfortably, now have a taste for remote work and are adjusting their spreadsheets to see how soon they could afford retirement etc etc.

Investors have a major say in how the money is spent. All of a sudden, remote is where that exciting startup experience is, where the kids want to go. Sure, fly everybody together once or twice a year, far cheaper than an office.
Your argument is flawed since some amount of secrecy/discretion in judicial proceedings is allowed and necessary. For examples look to investigators and DAs who refuse to provide details for ongoing investigations, and closed proceedings.

More importantly this is a problem in a private organization and not a public entity or court proceeding.
fucking great

removed myself from an incredibly toxic environment. the relief was incredible.

I then landed my first job in my new field and loved it.

10/10 would recommend to anyone (providing you have at least a few months runway of personal funds)
inaccurate title in extreme. the write up is very pro usb & type-c. it warns against a variety of issues & problems with how the eu is proposing standardization.

it notes for example that the current eun tandards cites very particular versions of usb. yet usb changes over time. the concern is that we might still be stuck on a proverbial usb2 charging via usb-mini. 0.5A 5V. the actual example given in the odf is that high voltage 100-240w charging is not covered in the eu standard.

the usb-if president also cites concerns that the eu standard insists on type-c, but not usb-pd. hoe compatible is defined is indeterminate, byt it sure seems like one could make their own difficult, complex charge protocol that required special chargers to power. which seems to defeat the whole of usb-if standardization. the president goes to length to describe the impossibility of creating a "compatible" system, without that standard itself being usb-if's.

there's a number of other issues the president raises here. to say this pdf criticizes type-c, i feel, is wholly inaccurate in extreme.
> But they do not realize that what makes the intelligent is that they can memorize lots of things without effort.

I play board games with my friends. We all know all the rules of the game, although we took varying amount of times to memorize these rules. Yet some of us come to dominate the game play. To the degree that there is correlation between the speed with which someone learns the rules and the percentage of time they win the game, I do not believe there is causation. How could there be? One would have to believe that once everyone has all the knowledge in the system, those who memorized that knowledge faster still have an edge because they memorized the knowledge faster. That's difficult to believe.
That happen 2017, one could assume the ex moderation team was already aware who people in the organization are/were at that point.
More HN comments and a twitter thread? Eh, ok.
I quit a job in defense around October of 2019 then COVID hit so I took a job at another defense company. I quit that job around June of this year and I'm still looking. I enjoy the time off but I'd really like to get back to work, every company that I apply to seems to take their sweet time recruiting.
I'm glad they're done by hand because I was expecting horrifying results when it rolled a cat on one side and an arrow through a heart on the other.
They do seem more willing to regulate indeed. Those regulations are to benefit different groups.
Awesome ! Just one question about future, usb3 + ssd is really bad with RPI4, how do you manage the next step of attached storage ?

9/11 happened because they let it happen

Maybe let's fix that instead of expecting society should lack "trust" between actors
My former senior developer was an incredibly competent nodejs dev and a great mentor. He left our company because management wouldn't really respect his opinions because he'd only been with us for 3 years when others had been for 20. The company he moved to was a fintech startup that worked him insanely hard but again didn't give him much respect or agency over what he was building. Then the pandemic hit and they reduced his pay, so he left that job without anything lined up.

He ended up in a 6 month job search, and when he finally got a job it was in a role no more senior than either of the 2 he had just left. Those 6 months were pretty grueling for him, and I'm sure a lot of the reason it took so long was because it was hard to find a job in the pandemic, but when you're trying to find a job and failing to, it wears on your self esteem and your soul, in ways that compound the difficulty of finding the job. And realistically, 6 months isn't even that long when it could've become 1 or 2 years.

That said, I became insanely burnt out at my job after he left and kept telling him that I was going to quit with nothing lined up. He just kept telling me it would be the stupidest mistake for me to do that and for my situation (still early in my career, have some savings but not a ton, some minor family-related issues going on) he was definitely right. I did work through the burn-out, though I may have permanently lost some enthusiasm for software development because of it. Or possibly I'm just still burnt out.
I interviewed at google (not googleplex but one of their other very fancy offices that spans multiple stories of an expensive skyscraper). The office seemed great as did all the amenities. But it was an hour's commute in each direction and if I had to work there I'd have worked from home as often as I could.
I dont think the parliament by itself can set laws, it would need to be agreed to by the Councilof Ministers as well. So unless they're happy with it it wont happen. As for sanctions for not applying the law, fines, holding back of funds. If they dont apply the law or dont follow it they can be taken to the European court of justice. I dont think we've ever had a scenario where EU law has not been applied unless there was an opt out. We may see that tested soon, by Poland and Hungary though.
This, plus if your partner is dumping things on you because you're free, that's a partner communication issue, not a WFH issue.
Absolutely true. A lot of people think "cut-n-paste" is how people get code written, but the truth is you almost never find a snippet that is exactly what you want. It might be trivial like changing the name of the variable, or it might be some very small piece of a snippet you need, but the superpower isn't being to search for things, it's making sense of them and being able to reason about how to adapt it for your own case.
Agreed, I think another thing missed by so many is that if we can settle mars that same technology can be used here on earth to make inhospitable parts of the planet usable again should we mess it up badly enough.
Is it? How would you respond if you were asked to take on a responsibility that you didn't have the authority to uphold? I think this is very sober and professional.

You're getting downvotes because your comment is propaganda and doesn't contribute to discussion. For example:

> all the solutions to climate change are marxist

> adequate family and medical leave, paid vacations, and retirement security

When did those things become marxist? Those are the basics that any modern society should make available for people -- and nearly all do, except for the USA.

> They dont want nuclear or solar panels

Who is 'they'? I certainly want nuclear and solar panels and electric transportation, if it means my kids can grow up in a sustainable and stable world.
Oh, it'll work all right. Laws like this are a backstop that can be deployed specifically when technological measures fail. Remember "DRM can always be cracked"? That's what Section 1201 is for: five years in pound-me-in-the-ass prison for trying to crack DRM. These days, people accept DRM like Dilbert in the shock collar.

In this case, it's simply a matter of crafting the law in such a way that, say, possession or use of strong encryption without government backdoors automatically makes you a terrorist, the same way that possessing lockpicking tools automatically makes you a thief in Illinois. Then, once your communications become a little too random, the authorities can raid your computer and that of everyone you're connected with, arrest you and take you to a black site, and squeeze you for information (including rubber-hose cryptanalysis). And they're bound to find something juicy because most of the people going to the trouble of illegally using unbackdoored crypto are indeed terrorists, pedophiles, and other criminals. Using the "once X is outlawed, only outlaws will use X" effect to good effect.
Well this person is on the core team and has said many horrible things in the past and so it's possible this is indicative of the culture of members of the core team. https://archive.md/VEtHu (from 2017)

But this is trying to imply that past crimes are evidence of future crimes, which I'm not a huge fan of, so take it with a grain of salt. But it's a useful data point at least for me.

There was a fair amount of fallout from this with other services as well -- customers who were hosted on GoDaddy but had their accounts compromised had other services spun up with their domain and their credentials.

I know that the company I work for was hit at least once by this, until we implemented stronger KYC checks.
> ... it won't tell them where the next terror attack is going to take place or who will do it.

No, but I'm convinced this isn't the goal. The goal is to monitor the unrest of the people.
> If you're a man, I don't see how it would be possible to feel safe or welcome in _any_ association with the Rust community when a prominent Core team member is advocating for you to be killed.

Being a man I don't see how anyone would feel unsafe by a prominent Core team member advocating for all men to be killed.
Thanks! I had not realized bitcoinmagazine could be a good source. I had grouped it in with other crypto media junk like cointelgraph.
I really like it in Demolition Man, how they thought of a future which used biometrics for secure access (in that case retina scan). But they also saw how easy it was to bypass it when Simon (Wesley Snipes) simply takes the eye of the warden to escape his prison.

I don’t think this was intentional but they managed to demonstrate (or at least for-shadow) the incompetent police force of the future this way.
I basically agree. Templates are basically strings, while jsx is in the end a full programming language (js).

It has the downsides you mention (the error reporting is okayish I think). On the other side, you can write html directly (no classname, etc), and there is no transpiling/build tools/server-side rendering to add.
String templates are also side-effect free.

For spa I would prefer React (with Typescript): for a request/response old-fashioned app, or something like htmx/hotwire text templates can be very productive. I see your point though.

Edit: extra points.
What is a "fuck up" to you?

Apart from the joke, I second @smoldesu 1000%.
The greatest advantage is that you can get other things done around the house (or beyond the house) between productivity stints. Even a short walk from the office tends to create a barrier to that.

This will eventually reach the point where a human can direct the process and the AI will fill the gaps. It would be no more weird than artists who throw paint on a canvas and end up with a coherent piece.
Fog, rain, sleet, ice, snow, tornadoes can all impact travel plans. Not often, admittedly, but I’ve changed my route based on most of those.
For all you know, the whole world around you might be a figment of your big and complex imagination, and nothing you do would, in the end, affect it. So what actually matters, (in fact the only thing that matters) is your perception of the world around you (and that includes pain).
It was a gift to my daughter years ago. She enjoyed it very much.
I remember going to a talk given by the developer of something similar (can't remember the name of the site, sorry, but was given at a university, so probably a charity or public sector project of some sort) and apparently there are lots of issues with making data about this type of thing publicly available because there are malevolent parties who will try and take advantage of information about such situations in certain ways. Think they said a lot more - the talk was a while ago, but it was an angle that I hadn't thought about and I recall they had to have a screening process for whom they made information available to.

(Edit: this is the talk: http://stadium.open.ac.uk/stadia/preview.php?s=29&whichevent...)
My pet peeve of 2014 was when my manager started referring to computer security as "cyber".
What does it mean for NVM to be slow? It's never crossed my mind that it's slow.
The full deal failed due to the usual ISO politics, in the end it was concepts light or nothing.

That is what defines modern C++, a standard full of political compromises, slowly becoming a niche language.
> Biometric security (i.e something you are) does not need to be secret nor revoked. That's the entire point. It's a piece of information that even when it's known by everyone still can't be reproduced.

If that's the point, the effort is doomed. All biometrics will be able to be reproduced sooner or later. There's no way around that.

So, like all other identifiers, revocation is an important trait. Even if successful reproduction is difficult and rare, it would be utterly devastating to those affected unless there's a way to revoke.

> Perfect: A human guard manually taking a fingerprint reading. Can't be beat because the guard can obviously see that it's not really your hand.

Not at all perfect. Can that human guard really see if you're wearing a fake fingerprint? I doubt it, unless he's closely examining everyone's fingerprints first. And even then...
Adding two very important things for me personally:

- a bathroom where I have true privacy and not someone waiting on me or able to perceive me with their senses

- not having to deal with the smell of others or worry about my own

To be clear, even this would be an unprecedented catastrophe. Civilization would go on in some form, but hundreds of millions, maybe billions of people, would suffer immensely and many would die from famine, war, disease, etc.
The EU Commission is the especially scummy part of the EU.
you don't need to "outlaw math", you only need to increase the friction to the point where commercial providers can't provide encrypted services and 99.x% of people will comply. Not sure why people always bring this up like some gotcha.
Yep, physical proximity is a huge barrier to any attack, and requiring persistent physical access even more so. If you have a plug in USB keyboard, this sort of quick attack through MitM passthrough is even easier.

However, having some experience with biometric sensors the False Accept/Reject ratio both for matching the fingerprint and detecting "liveness/spoof" is a BIG DEAL. Matching many prints or to many people is also MUCH HARDER (combinatorically). At high SNR (more expensive, higher resolution, larger sensor, higher power, longer latency) these problems can be largely mitigated with accurate recognition and very difficult to spoof systems. Those aren't the ones people attack for online fame.

However, when display integrated ultra-thin low cost very convenient matching is required... it will trade off for False Accept/Reject ratios and make the system significantly (orders of magnitude) less accurate. Unfortunately, it appears that the old MacBook touchbar integrated sensor has sacrificed significantly in this area.

Time of Flight 3D sensors make spoofing Face ID with easily carried biometrics significantly more challenging (they tend to be head sized).
I was terminated after asking for a raise and better working conditions. It's only been a few weeks but I've been focusing on health and hobbies. I plan on traveling for a few months while looking for a better opportunity to secure my finances again.
It probably isn't the same institutions..

Or, to be clear, it isn't.

For this to be turned into a law it would need to go through several steps, and currently there really isn't any reason to think that it will.

Maybe this is why we are reading this on a blog from an email provider and not the front page of a newspaper.
There's a good reason why criminals don't carry lockpicks around and that's because they're regulated, in much of the world mere possession of them outside of your residence is a criminal offence and even in places where you can carry them legally they not only show prior intent, their use in criminal activities carries a charge just like breaking and entering. I'd also argue that being stuck picking a stubborn lock for 2-3 minutes is significantly more suspicion arousing than the literal seconds it takes to break a window but that's neither here nor there.

On the rationality of having locks when criminals can very easily break a window, the old saying that locks keep honest people out rings true. Locks do serve a purpose even if they do very little to slow criminals down. To bring the analogy full circle fingerprint readers always seemed like windows to me in how easy they are to bypass, luckily they're more of a luxury than a necessity. :-)
