> I'm still not sure I would enjoy using Nix (since many, many other problems) or giving it another shot because of my emotional response to it that's been caused by burnout trying to wrangle with it.

I'm not sure you would, either, and I won't ask you to give it another shot right now. I understand the feeling. Maybe it's something to revisit after more time than has already passed.
Ah, I thought this was no longer the case. Thanks for the info.
Most of these images appear to be from a single instance of cheating from a state in India (Bihar) with relatively poor law enforcement. I imagine that in more higher stakes exams like the JEE, parents will likely not be able to get away with passing notes to their kids through the classroom window.
> Google is exactly as useful to me as it was 25 years ago

Yeah, me too.

25 years ago Google didn't exist.
I tried to impress my 6 year old with this. His starting number was 999. I guess he had the last laugh.

Terrible choice for a license. I never go near AGPL.
Median and Average standard of living in 'The West' is the highest in the world by most (definitely not all) measures, which is why migrants favour moving to 'The West'.

The 'Billionaire Point System' of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos may be a bit off, but remember that they are actually 'true innovators' changing the system at least slightly for the better at scale. If Amazon didn't exist, we may not have a collective replacement for it, and I wonder what 'The Cloud' would even look like if AWS didn't really get it going.

Frankly, the most 'odd' thing are billionaire Athletes and Crypto Traders.

The system is not entirely equal, but I wouldn't say it's rigged either.

"China's "sell" is you should trade free expression for a bit of sanity and stability. "

? No, Hong Kong under the English - was a 'trade' of freedoms for prosperity.

Mainlanders don't get any stability, wealth, rule of law, or freedom. What you might get is an apartment and maybe a car, where your parents could not, but I think the argument could be made that they would have that were they to liberalize.

If China in the last 20 years, went the direction of Korea and Japan did in the 1970s and 1980s, which is to say loosen up and liberalize after 'post war rebuild', then they might be that much wealthier.

It's getting harder and harder to commit that the CCP is essential or necessary for growth. I guess we'll start to find out in the next 20 years.
You are wrong. The primary advantage of 2fa is the OTP part, which wards against keyloggers and password reuse.
I think moving j just to move it again is annoying. I don't see how this was considered worth it. Cool to see someone trying this concept of transitional layouts.
> Telegram defaults to no encryption,

This is plain false as can be verified by anyone who can check Telegram GitHub repos or run the app in a debugging environment.

Telegram defaults to point-to-point encryption. Same as banks and gmail.

Fun fact: back in the days WhatsApp sent messages unencrypted (i.e. as plain text) over port 443(!).

> does not do encrypted group chats,

again, point-to-point encryption

> has a home-rolled encryption protocol which almost guarantees it's weak as nearly every home-rolled encryption system always is (if not also backdoored).

Earlier versions had serious problems. Newer versions are supposedly better.

Also there is a lot of difference between home-grown cryptography by a math wizard, made open source for everyone to inspect and various secret sauce variants.

HN has a long history of claiming it can be trivially broken, yet despite source code being available no one has done it? Lazyness or incompetence? Or maybe it isn't so simple?

I don't know but if you want to shut me up and make your claim to fame: do break Telegram cryptography. You'll do the world a service both by exposing it and by shutting up people like me.

Meanwhile, stop spreading lies. Telegram is not unencrypted. It is point-to-point encrypted by default.

If the encryption is weak, prove it or shut up.
Likewise. The core language is pretty amazing and this steady stream of improvements is very impressive and reassuring. Being able to easily install, run, and combine bleeding-edge research tools is fantastic.

I'm really enjoying exploring the probabilistic-programming corner of the Juliaverse and finding it much smoother to get up and running with than Python/R tooling.

The example appeared to overemphasise the "small talk" part, in practice it is usually boiled down to "I hope you had a good weekend..." on Mondays, or "I hope you are well..." on other days of the week.
Which is why this story is considered news. People are trying to reassess the risk factor of doing whatever the hell they want. The info has been sparse so far, so we want whatever we can get.

Personally I don't mind sitting inside again for 2-3 weeks while this all gets figured out, but I know I'm in the vast minority by this point.
Forgot to upvote you yesterday, done now ;-)

Indeed, for example, one day Rust will be part of the default VS install, and then I can justify having native components for .NET stuff written in Rust, until then C++ will have to do.

This is not an argument. Edward Snowden is one person, and he leaked information that was far beyond merely Whistleblowing. He also has a right to a trial in the US.

The real comparison is for most people on most issues, in that regard, the US is immensely more free.

On the other end the 'Edward Snowdens' of China were executed long before anyone knew who they even were, for much lesser crimes.

There are 100's of thousands of people in Chinese prisons who are there merely for being of a certain ethnicity.
Friends: one arm over, one under.

Of course, but the point being that nonprofit or not-for-profit has no financial motivation which could lead for abusive behavior.

Excel 95 contained an Easter egg which was a doom like game.
Yes, but some of us have work to do and if you communicate in installments instead of just coming to the point it will take five interruptions instead of one interruption to get you unstuck.
You should check out the Federal Register
In my experience hiring and then seeing how people perform over time I've roughly concluded that during screening / interviewing absence of a degree is not a negative signal (can be positive), but presence of certifications has consistently been a strong negative signal.

I know there are a few areas in which they are seemingly unavoidable, i.e. government, military, financial. But if I see certifications on a profile I am interested in and I believe we have a role that matches what the person is looking to do, then I will use the more unscripted part of the interview to go to first principles and test the foundations of CompSci understanding with far fewer buzzwords.
"Bill Gates lost his wife over his long-standing, deep involvement with Epstein. That is very, very carefully never, ever mentioned on TV."

Except it's plastered all over the TV, all over print and digital media, and literally everyone in the world knows about it, or has access to a lot of information about it!

In the meantime in China, a tennis player accused someone of something and was 'dissapeared', her accusations erased, and now she talks like a puppet prisoner of the state reading lines from the CCP PR team.

These comparisons are not helping your case.
This view misses out on the wide variety of Quake servers, the rich modding community behind them and the way a static identity caused a community of players to coalesce around them. All things largely lost in the modern iteration of FPS games with queues and ranked matchmaking.
So no email and lots of slack messages interrupting you, I have to wonder how does anything get done? I also find Slack (and all other IM platforms) to be horrendous when it comes to holding information that you might need later.
The lesson to learn from that is that you shouldn't stick your nose in other peoples' business.
I’m sorry your friend is in a similar position.

There was one treatment that they were going to trial my friend on that would give him another expected extension but basically make his digestive tract stop working so he’d be pooping out of a tube into a bag the rest of his life but he declined, said it just wasn’t worth it.

There have been a couple times that’s been the call he’s made and I appreciate why.
I hope this isn't an indication of how easy it is to manipulate young people

Agree. Also been living the github ci/cd thing on home-brew but the thing is, the automated test is good and found stupid things I needed to fix.

So yea but also.. the pr thing is workflow not revision control.
Are tech-enabled jobs sustainable enough to become lifelong career choices?
France isn't a lot better in this regard. You need a permit from the Conseil Supérieur de l’Audiovisuel to operate a public open wlan. They had a three strike policy for sharing infridging content but they just gave up for some reason. Maybe they finally realised it's a waste of public servant time to go after people in the benefit of a few corporations.
Too true. If I see MSCE on the bloody thing, it’s to the bin or I’m going to waste my next fifteen minutes
The problem I see there, and it's the exact reason governments/media/the stock market are all bracing, is that if it's not the way you describe and we keep doing what we're doing (which with Delta has now become next to nothing) it could end up killing 10s of thousands of people. It's important to at least consider that we have a new mutation that needs to be treated differently than the old ones. Be careful out there folks. Wash your hands, wear a mask.

Yeah this whole process took 2 years in-between usual work. This article was testing the waters to see if people are interested and for direction where to focus followup articles.
Future areas of focus could be: diving into modern numa architecture, how to set expectations of hw perf limits, network architecture, pros/cons of S3 vs object in terms of perf.
The law doesn’t/shouldn’t work like that.
I will say that CCNA (taken in 2019) was the most legitimate of these exams. There were a handful of "simulator" questions that involved actually typing some commands into a Cisco IOS switch or router to change the configuration as appropriate. So that required a deeper understanding and forced test-takers to demonstrate what they might need to do on the job as a network technician. However, CCNA also seemed to be one of the exams for which it was easiest to find a "dump" including "practice simulators" taken straight from the real exam.

Yup, that’s a really great example.
I very much hope for a poster with a better source. The sun is my least favourite source of information. My favourite is the Northern Territory news which is more overt it's Elvis sightings and crocodiles.
I most certainly can when the person operating the firehose does so under the guise of professional standards where they claim to only use their granted powers to inform, not to convince or persuade. Reuters isn’t like CNN or Fox who hide their prime time talking heads behind some technicality of “entertainment vs news”. Reuters claims to be news, full stop. If they live by that sword they better be prepared to be judged by that sword
I've been working remotely my whole career. Here is my 5 cents:

> Timezones suck. I wish this section was as simple as saying: use UTC for everything, but it’s never that easy.

Use Google Calendar (or similar). It converts timezones seemingly. You can see other participants schedules right when scheduling a new event, if they have "public availability" enabled.

huh... I was expecting this post to be longer. It ends kinda abruptly.

Those things are like the leader tones in modem protocols: they work to establish that the other party is listening. But IM isn't a modem, if the other party isn't listening then it doesn't matter what you write so you may as well come to the point and make the whole thing self contained.

"Hey Jim, if you see this in the next couple of minutes, the foo is hitting the bar and I don't know if that's serious, if you don't or can't respond, no worries, I'll take it elsewhere."

But that requires a bit more forethought and just doing 'hi' is the easy way out to be thinking your way through as you go along. Which implicitly assumes the other person is just sitting there waiting for you, something that may well not be true.
Why would Benzes be so behind BMW and Audi? I’d prefer if they focused on sociopathy and narcissism versus psychopathy since I don’t feel like psychopaths are as common as the other two.

Someone please do this study with programming languages, I have my suspicions.
this whole thread feels hella off topic to me. it's examining one particular end for doing good. lots of very small businesses exist jn america & many many many fail but many do well. many find bigger success.

as for software, many of my favorite coworkers are self taught former art history students who picked up some skills over time. they're great, they had wonderful skills. absolutely, this is person by person. but i think as much is just luckkng into a condusive good learning situation, getting to see the good perspectives & not get bogged down with the small stupid tech battles that dot the programming landacape. not getting burdened is a huge pro career skill wherever you are, but definitely super important for most tech folks.

the struggle is super real. but focusing only on the struggle, the difficulty; it disservices the potentials that do exist. there's a dual. everything is extremely hard & working towards better is precarious at best. the ways to fall off are vast. but let's not lretend that opportunity isnt here. not just in tech but in many ways to make futures in america, in many places. we can both acknowledge weakness & difficulty & struggle, and also accept potential. the two do not need to be so zero sum, only one can be true, in nature.
HIRING for Tech Lead: Web Dev – front end, back end
I'm the founder of Sparrow (https://sparrowstartup.com/), a platform where startups get 1:1 growth advice from founders with exits and high ARRs. I'm an empathetic, no-BS guy and intend to be like that with you throughout. So please tell me what's on your mind.

Sparrow's making revenue but not enough to pay you a 5-figure salary. We can work out a compensation structure that works for you and openly talk about it - I'm a fair person.

A few requests:

- Be honest. If you think the vision is too ambitious, just call it out. If you think I'm being stupid, just say it.

- Be technically sound. Ideally, you'd have a solid experience with front and back end tech. If you don't know something that's fine - just tell me and we can figure out a way to help you learn that within a reasonable amount of time.

- We're early-stage. We cut costs and increase productivity, and do our best not to compromise on quality. Function > pretty.

.
.

What you'll be doing:
- Build a new website for Sparrow that accommodates startups and founders booking sessions together seamlessly without human intervention. The website must have the latest and greatest front-end tech. It'll have the following features:
(a) Calendar syncing
(b) Individual dashboards for both buyers and sellers
(c) Internal messaging and forum between buyers and sellers
(d) Stripe Connect that allows revenue split between Sparrow and sellers

- Find ways to optimize the users' experience including and not limited to:
(a) How the buyers sign up and book sessions
(b) How sellers are onboarded and interact with buyers

.
.

If you've read this far, then you've probably figured out I'm the operational, non-technical, customer-facing founder. I'll take all that work off your plate so you can focus on building the scalable tech that'll make our customers' lives easier so they fall in love with you. I genuinely want you to be happy about what you'll build!

If you want to know how I think and how much I love this project, read here: https://sparrowstartup.com/purpose

If you want to get in touch, either use this website or just send me a ping here: https://sparrowstartup.com/get-in-touch

I need a partner I can count on. And I want to think I'll find him/her soon.

I do not care if you (pretend) to care about my dog.

99% of people would prefer their colleagues talk to them in a friendly, humanizing way after spending 7 or 8 hours a day on their own though. On the whole people are social animals, and we get depressed when we're 'forced' to spend time alone, or even in groups if the group is exclusively focused on a task.

There are people who don't want that social aspect in their work life for various reasons, but they're unusual. The advice here is aimed at most people, not you specifically.
True, but asynchronous circuits need a lot of extra gates and signals for detecting when an operation is completed and notifying the next stage that it can proceed.

It is very difficult to estimate which of the 2 approaches will need less area and power for some given requirements.

It is likely that for a sufficiently complex device an asynchronous implementation will use less power, but the effort to design bug-free complex asynchronous logic is much higher than for synchronous designs, which is probably the main reason why very few commercial asynchronous devices have existed.

That's antithetical to how the computer security industry should work -- arbitrary certifications don't guarantee compliance or security, at best they suggest it.

To me, this feels like the same problem as OKRs in an organization. When your goal for success is a high score on the exams for a job rather than the ability to do the job, folks will optimize for the high score on the exam. Setting hard goals that determine success will determine where folks spend their time. Along those same lines, I don't see this as a problem for third party entities like CompTIA/(ISC)2/ISACA/Cisco/Etc to fix, but rather poor management and expectations of employees.

OKRs and certificates aren't bad, they just need to measure the objective value to the organization as opposed to arbitrary standards (such as you must have X certificate to work here, or increasing pay based on certs earned).

Those tests mentioned above can be useful litmus tests for folks in the recruiting space to sort through candidates, especially if they have a large number of applicants, but I worry that it excludes folks that could otherwise be very good at the job/role.

If you need to focus, just disable all notifications. Literally all of them. No one will die while you are focusing on the task at hand. And the project you are working on will definitely benefit from someone paying 100% attention to it. This may sound too extreme, but it'll feel natural after just one week.
