You don’t think laying off nearly 1000 people en masse with a video is cruel and unusual? I do. This is a terrible look for the company in my opinion and I’m glad this article exposed it.
The same reason why people move. Relying on others to do everything to benefit you is wishful but deluded.

Using Awk to pretty-display OpenBSD packages update changes
You use OpenBSD and when you upgrade your packages you often wonder which one is a rebuild and which one is a real version update? The packages updates are logged in /var/log/messages and using awk it's easy to achieve some kind of report.
For any multibyte representation no however I'd say it's safe to just say "all encodings must be valid UTF-8" and require the user/service to validate that first.

There are a number of algorithms out there that can validate UTF-8 with significantly less than 1 instruction per byte. I'd imagine the overhead for pipelining the two is significantly cheaper than trying to handle the cases in the same pass.
PSD2 is fully enforced for banks in the EU/EEA, and not yet enforced for UK banks. But many transactions are exempted from 2FA authentication, if either the acquirer or issuer perceive the transaction as low risk. And transactions with only one leg in Europe have no regulatory requirement. So fraud is very much alive in Europe.

>I have only taken a short look at r/antiwork, [...], which is much more "work shouldn't have to be shitty and all-consuming" than "don't work at all".

I was curious about /r/antiwork based on your comment so I looked at it and the description says: "A subreddit for those who want to end work, are curious about ending work, want to get the most out of a work-free life,"

I also noticed these 2 links in the subreddit's "Intro" sidebar :

- The Mythology of Work: https://crimethinc.com/2018/09/03/the-mythology-of-work-eigh... :

>What if nobody worked? [...] That depends on what you mean by “work.” Think about how many people enjoy gardening, fishing, carpentry, cooking, and even computer programming just for their own sake. What if that kind of activity could provide for all our needs?

- The Abolition of Work : https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/bob-black-the-abolit... :

> No one should ever work. Work is the source of nearly all the misery in the world. Almost any evil you’d care to name comes from working or from living in a world designed for work. In order to stop suffering, we have to stop working. That doesn’t mean we have to stop doing things. It does mean creating a new way of life based on play; in other words, a ludic conviviality, commensality, and maybe even art.

So if we assume that picking up garbage is not a form of "play" like fishing or art, nobody should have to _be_ garbage workers for society to function. It seems plausible that a garbage worker who is doing the job only for the pay instead of "joyful playing with trash" would post that sentiment on /r/antiwork as it's compatible with the 2 essays that the subreddit wants you to read.
That's cool, but I was hoping for a tool that generates a nifty little text file like that. It might be a cool idea to automate the process.

I've been doing this manually for a while by creating a FF profile for an app, adding some userChrome.css to hide some of the chrome at the top, and creating my own .desktop files to open FF in the new profile.

It's a bit tedious but it works.

I'd love to try this if I didn't have to use a FF extension to do it. It looks like it does it better than I have been doing it.

Also the name should be changed.

I think the other thread here is even outside your average minimum wage job the link between work and reward is broken.

Holders of capital can speculate on property/real estate and make more (illiquid) money than a worker in a full year. Then to add insult to injury the worker hands over some large sum of their wage to said speculator. And is generally treated like crap into the bargain.

When idle parasitism makes more money than working and indeed forces people to work harder for longer, discontent from the generally capital poor workers is unsurprising.

Yeah, this was in a neighborhood bundle with many… many lines together. No one was going to dig into that to find which line a mouse or squirrel had chewed the insulation off of. I remember running a few diagnostics, but as it was “working”, no one was going to try to fix it. The ISP couldn’t even convince ATT to move the bad line to a different pair. Which was sad. I was supposed to be in the 40Mbps range, but could only get ~18-20. Also — this was enough bandwidth for us at the time, so I just ran off of the single line and was good. Given some of the dsl horror stories, we weren’t too and off.
How hard would it be to work together with Mozilla to ship this functionality in Firefox officially? Their excuses not to work on SSB (that's what they called installing web apps to desktop) were: 1. "no perceived user benefit" and 2. "feature is costing us time in terms of bug triage". Evidently, some users and developers find mentioned feature useful, because many projects like FirefoxPWA exists. Get other projects that are trying to achieve the same goal on board (Web App Manager from Linux Mint comes to mind) and everybody wins. As an added bonus, Firefox might even increase their user base a little.
2FA (in particular, the 3DS protocol) actually has a significant conversion problem, so it's not free.
I held a lot of views in my youth that I dismissed later in life, including something akin to this anti-work sentiment, among many other anti-consumer, anti-technology, anti-society nonsense. I abandoned them in my maturity but they had real value in my life and continue to mark and influence my perspective later in life.

So in some sense I don't mind seeing the paradoxes or irrationalities of this type of thinking. It's a healthy part of development for young people. Yeah it is sometimes over the top, and some people never outgrow it. But I mean the basic sentiment isn't hard to agree on -- the purpose of life isn't to work for someone else in a soul-crushing environment.

And while one may concede that work is a fact of nature, one might also respond that it's alienated labour, blah blah blah, and they have a good point.

There's an anecdote from AIDS research that I'm frequently reminded of. People started off not knowing what was causing symptoms, then they began to understand the virus, then they started to produce chemicals to attack HIV, prevent its spread, reduce it's harmful effects, until one day when results of a study of a cocktail of these drugs was released showing dramatic reduction in symptoms and increased survival rates. People in the audience when the results were presented had access to these drugs individually and went home and started taking the cocktail regime themselves. They got better.

This was only the successful path, along the way innumerable theories were tried and refuted, chemicals produced which did nothing or caused harm, and hopes were raised and dashed over and over.

Aging research is in the world before solid theory, before we understand the many causes, but chemicals are being developed and people are taking them. It might be that one of the proposed theories is right, and self-medicators will be the first to know. More likely though is that it will take years and billions of dollars in basic research to develop good theory and better drugs.

Unlike HIV/AIDS there probably won't be a single cause and aging (by definition) doesn't impact a young, healthy, active population. In fact, we are so conditioned to accept aging as normal the fight for resources is the fight to convince funders that there is a problem worth addressing. It's a pretty big, and terrifying, mindset change to go from "death from old age is natural and to be accepted" to "death from old age is preventable and tragic."

Kenneth Regan's work on Intrinsic Performance Ratings includes estimated ratings for Morphy, which vary widely from event to event but average around 2300, which I think matches the intuitive perception of his strength that modern strong players have. https://cse.buffalo.edu/~regan/papers/pdf/Reg12IPRs.pdf

Remembe Fuller's quote "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete"

Big tech is the existing reality and it can only be changed by making it obsolete. The digital technology for doing so is actually available (or can be refined rapidly). What is not available is the social technology: the attitude of governments and regulators, solid, honest-to-goodness business models, the education of the populace etc
Better regulation around marketing would go a long ways to begin with. In the UK "fiber" is used as a catch-all term for any kind of internet connection even though in the majority of cases it's just fiber up to a certain point and then either DSL or coax, making it hard for consumers to tell exactly what they're signing up for. Same for bullshit terms such a "superfast" or "ultrafast" instead of actual up/down/latency numbers.

annnnddd right in the first objective, a promise to ban secure cryptography,

generally i like the message. the idea to keep an internet, to try to cooperate on finding ways forwards: it feels like a good time to re-commit. there's outsiders undergoing increasing authoritarianization, there's pressures at home to regulate & combat dissinfo & protect privacy. this is not completely explicit about embracing open, neutral series of tubes, but it seems generally well founded & hlaimin to affirm the best open parts of the internet that have let it become the prevailing human force in connecting the globe.

pity it seems to also ban secure/end-to-end cryptography.

Ask HN: How to make a game that will be easy for others to mod?
I want to develop a game and make it a hassle free experience for other developers to make mods for it.

However, I don't want to open source my game because I would like to sell it.

My idea was to create a kind of API that others could hook into to add and modify content in the game. The idea would be similar to a frontend using a REST API to interact with the backend.

I wonder if there are best practices when it comes to making your game modable. How is it usually done by professionnal game devs?

> Though the NICD has confirmed that almost all cases of SARS-C0V-2 in Tshwane are due to the new variant, we have not been able to establish that in every instance the variant is Omicron as the PCR machine in use at the SBAH laboratory does not screen for the S-gene. A reasonable assumption is being made that the cases described here represent infection with the new variant.

Translation(?): It's omicron all right, but we didn't test for it because we don't have the equipment. Still, it's reasonable to assume we're dealing with omicron.

This statement alone throws into question, at a minimum, the competence of the author and likely all of the report's data and conclusions.
> It's in large part an escape hatch for those who are fed up with technocratic debasement of money

Those fed up with technocratic debasement of money, and organized crime. I just read here [0] that Bulgaria is the second largest owner of Bitcoin, after Satoshi Nakamoto, due to "a crackdown on organized crime by the Bulgarian law enforcement in May 2017 resulted in the seizure of a stash of 213,519 Bitcoins".

Same article claims FBI is number 4 owner, after "they brought down Silk Road, the infamous dark web drug bazaar, and seized 144,000 Bitcoin owned by the site’s operator Ross Ulbricht, better known as, “Dread Pirate Roberts”, in 2013.

I do not know how correct this information is, though, so take it with a grain of salt. In any case, it makes one wonder how much more cryptocurrencies are owned by organized crime.

I'd bet you could rig up virtually silent cooling for it. Personally, I'd do something with a Noctua fan. But any larger fans are often quieter than smaller, and slower speeds are often quieter than faster. And I'm not certain the fan has to be mounted on the CPU cooler itself, if you've got strong airflow across the heatsink from a case fan, so you could try that and test it with whatever CPU temperature sensor is on the board.

(But if it's really unusable, don't throw it away; I happen to operate an environmentally-friendly HiFive Unmatched recycling service, and will even pay shipping and a few bucks for your trouble. :)

SiC is a wide band gap semi conductor so it takes a much higher temperature for the intrinsic carrier concentration to rise to the point where it is no longer a semi conductor and just a conductor - it was 12 years ago since I finished my PhD in SiC and related devices so I can’t explain in much more detail but that’s the crux of it

> What if I told you that the average worker who works for wages for 40 years, will lose 40% of the value of their lifetime earnings if inflation was 'only' 2% per year?

You'd be lying. The average worker spends the majority of their earnings immediately meaning that inflation doesn't cut into them, and puts most of the rest towards assets that track inflation (houses) or exceed inflation (stock market / retirement accounts).

We rely on the restaurant not serving bad food because of regulation.

We rely on good safety standards in a workplace, so that people working in chemical factories do not die from breathing in toxic fumes.

So to be clear, we rely on other people and other people doing things for us all the time, so the discussion is not about relying on other people, but in this case what are work conditions which are acceptable.

I think that fire at will for example is a bad idea, but I don't live in the USA, so my view comes from a different perspective.
Very interesting to get a sneak peak into this world.

Over the past year I've been digging deep into research around similar topics but revolving around protocol first changes, with supplements as an optional add on. I had some crazy symptoms develop after realizing I wasn't sleeping enough / properly. Fixing my sleep hygiene and eating habits changed my life. I wonder if more research was dedicated to recovery if this would help the field progress faster as it seems to be the key to preventing and healing all of the major causes of death.

If anyone is interested, I stumbled onto this research through professor Andrew Huberman on YouTube. Amazing, life changing stuff.
I really tried to use PyInstaller and Nuitka to deploy a Python command line [1] to Windows, Mac, and Linux users. We couldn't get around some system dependencies like OpenSSL needing to be available and not broken on user machines. We ended up re-writing the whole program from Python into Go [2].

Using Go solved so many long-tail bugs for us and just simplified the whole process of shipping code to user machines.

Here's the old but working build script that built both PyInstaller and Nuitka [3].

(a) not use HN primarily for ideological battle

(b) stop posting flamewar comments

(c) not use trollish usernames (https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...)

Nobody is saying that's not legally binding - people are saying that the easiest option is always to follow industry standard - not the only option.
Yes it is in the name. They provide an interface so the parties can sign the document. And then they store the fact that the document was signed in a database and attest to it if required.

Even if you know how to develop that (many companies don’t) and even if you wish to spend your developer resources on that instead of whatever brings in the money its not a good idea to roll your own in this case. Why? Because you are a party to the agreement you wish to attest to that it has been signed. If there is a disagreement about anything: who signed the document, when did they sign the document, what was the exact document they signed it will be your database against their word. Who knows, maybe you modified your database for your own sake? Changed the document or faked the signature altogerher. But if you paid for the service of a 3rd party who doesn’t have a financial incentive in the agreement then in any potential dispute you can get them to testify (probably in writing) to what document was signed and who signed it and when.
> A physician that must remain in the hospital in Christmas Eve to deal with a ton of drunken people is paid more.

Certainly depends. I have physician family members who never got paid more for working on holidays because all the holidays were divided equally among the doctors in the group, e.g. if there were 5 doctors each one had to work every 5th Christmas, etc.
