The UI issue is real, and is a problem, but the root cause of the 7th Fleet's crashes during that time period is lack of training and inadequate leadership, due to an operational tempo that's Thenot sustainable given current funding and ships. Instead of building new cruisers, or taking the time to dry dock and repair these ships, the admiralty has been ok'ing "at sea" repairs, leading to situations like this where primary systems aren't functional and back up systems are run for far longer than intended. The admiralty has been looking for technical solutions to a human problem for about a decade now, becaise they'd rather buy a new set of carriers and the F-35 than build the ships they need to support the mission given to them by Congress. The result is burnout, and incidents like this.

The Navy as a whole has a severe manpower shortage, and in the incident report for the McCain collision I believe it came out that the officer on duty was 17 hours into their watch, and didn't have a full compliment in the watch house because one of the crew who was supposed to be there was off in the lower decks for an unstated purpose (anecdotal evidence from my Navy friends, probably catching up on sleep, or seconded to repair something while they had "non-critical" time).

The collision only happened because instead of being trained on seamanship as a whole, incoming officers are trained how to work the computer systems they're interfacing with. The Navy cut down the training periods as well - instead of training under a senior officer for a few months, to offset manpower shortages, incoming officers are put in charge immediately, and given a stack of CDs (wish I was kidding) to complete their training.

The surface Navy is in an incredibly dysfunctional place right now, and Congress/the admiralty have been paperig over leadership failures by spending more money, and blaming technology

Sway is surprisingly nice to use. My first run in with it is the Manjaro+Sway images for the Pinebook Pro. I have to keep the shortcut documentation saved on my phone for referencing but I'm beginning to understand the draw of Tiling finally.
Top tip - if your Mikrotik APs will run OpenWRT, do it.

https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/common

Standalone wireless on Mikrotik is bad. CapsMan is even worse as it seems to hobble some of the standalone settings. Mikrotik are good at engineering routers but bad at engineering Wifi drivers.

I tried every which way to get Mikrotik wifi to work well, at reasonable speed, without dropping packets when roaming. No dice.

Now I have three HAP AC running OpenWRT, connected to a CCR for switching and a HEX S for routing, the latter two still running RouterOS 6. 5 VLANs, PoE, queues, several forwarded services, Solid as a rock.

(I've said it now... massive network wobble likely on the way).

> because Wikipedia keeps a desktop resource and a mobile resource, there is a distinction and so you do need to manually manipulate it if you're sending a link from mobile to someone else and don't know their device.

As I've explained, even knowing their device is not sufficient, because someone on a desktop device may prefer the "mobile" design (which is responsive) or someone on a mobile device may prefer the desktop design (because it apparently contains more features). And if you're sharing the link with multiple people or publicly, you obviously can't accommodate mutually exclusive preferences.
I'm part of a large org with a large AWS footprint, and we've had a few hundred folks on a call nearly all day. We have only a few workloads that are completely down; most are only degraded. This isn't a total outage, we are still doing business in east-1. Is it "red"? Maybe! We're all scrambling to keep the services running well enough for our customers.
Ah, so this is why my IRC shell in the Hetzner Helsinki DC had so much lag.
I think now is a good time to reiterate the danger of companies just throwing all of their operational resilience and sustainability over the wall and trusting someone else with their entire existence. It's wild to me that so many high performing businesses simply don't have a plan for when the cloud goes down. Some of my contacts are telling me that these outages have teams of thousands of people completely prevented from working and tens of million dollars of profit are simply vanishing since the start of the outage this morning. And now institutions like government and banks are throwing their entire capability into the cloud with no recourse or recovery plan. It seems bad now but I wonder how much worse it might be when no one actually has access to money because all financial traffic is going through AWS and it goes down.

We are incredibly blind to just trust just 3 cloud providers with the operational success of basically everything we do.

I'm all for services making that kind of decision as opposed to government, but this is also a bit of a misnomer because you can have multiple wallets.
I believe we are very far from the technology necessary to really grok a person’s musical tastes. What currently probably works the best is the "people who liked x also liked y" scheme (generalized to vectors in song space or something).

However, that method has the property that the algorithm can’t judge any new music, it always requires existing ratings from members of the platform before it can recommend a song to other people.

Then there’s the additional issue that a person’s musical taste changes over time.
Yeah despite being abolished in 1987, the lack of fairness doctrine took about a decade or two for the market to adjust (as conglomerates like Sinclair grew). We're only recently getting back to early 20th century sensationalism levels it seems.

I'm in the phase of slowly trying to learn Linux, and it's fun. But it also quickly becomes clear that there is no reward at the end. The endless different config file formats, man pages, shell mantras etc. don't really make computing any better in the end. They don't help one run CAD software, do CFD, write software, edit videos, make music, or any of the other things that are really what computing is about. Perhaps Ubuntu is the forever-distro after all.
But what do they want? I mean aside from "make laws to force google to license our stuff, they must be forced to publish our stuff, and forced to pay for it", which is totally insane.

Personally just fucking let me pay $1 per article for me to read. I will NEVER subscribe to a recurring thing, but i bet you I'll start paying a lot, as I want to read many articles per month.

Paywall sure, but get the fucking subscription the hell away from me.
How are you determining your lack of correlation ? Is there data on this somewhere?

Because I would assume that people who study and prepare for the interview are more likely to be studious and prepared in other aspects of life, including their workplace.
The biggest issue with software written under government contract, firm fixed price contracts. The way these are handled is not a good way to handle software. The winning contractor has a set of requirements for the software they have to deliver. If the customer wants to change anything, there has to be a bidding process and either a new contract or an add-on contract is awarded. This makes the customer very hesitant the make changes to the requirements even in the face of user feedback.

There is also no way to get user feedback until after the final software is delivered. It would have made life so much easier when I was a contractor if we could have had a group of users come in and see the software and make recommendations for the UI.
There is copyright, but it's non-transferable and only lasts for 2-3 years. After that time, yes, anyone can copy and distribute it.

My idea here is that you would have the option of either paying right now, or waiting when the copyright expires and getting it legally for free. In our current system people don't even consider that copyrights have an expiry date, they operate as if they're effectively indefinite. And the current system doesn't work anyway — the majority of the society just isn't having it. Everyone has pirated something at some point.
AMM - Automated Market Makers. Probably most (liquid) money is in those.
Identify or to publicly acknowledge? Chances are technical teams knew about this and noticed it fairly quickly, they've been working on the issue for some time. It probably wasn't until they identified the root cause and had a handful of strategies to mitigate with confidence that they chose to publicly acknowledge the issue to save face.

I've broken things before and been aware of it, but didn't acknowledge them until I was confident I could fix them. It allows you to maintain an image of expertise to those outside who care about the broken things but aren't savvy to what or why it's broken. Meanwhile you spent hours, days, weeks addressing the issue and suddenly pull a magic solution out of your hat to look like someone impossible to replace. Sometimes you can break and fix things without anyone even knowing which is very valuable if breaking something had some real risk to you.
It's so strange how easily people can be convinced "this never worked, it's not worth even trying". Certainly that's by design

There exists a strange statistical effect - if you ask people a large number say they are religious, but if you put a meter on the pews, attendance is in free fall in most of Canada. Quebec, hitherto a staunchly Catholic province, now has one of the lowest rates in Canada. Ontario is similar. There was a huge abuse scandal all across Canada where priests and ministers had selectively chosen to work at schools
where they and their female counterparts physically and sexually abused young boys and girls - in many cases to murder and death by suicide. This led to thousands of prosecutions and huge fines and many jail sentences both for the crime and abetting these crimes. Hundreds of them were awarded compensation and a huge number of church properties had to be sold, and the recruitment of new ministers and priests became impossible in Canada(there were a few areas that were spared by the presence of strong people who rid their parishes of bad people). To this day there is a near total absence of newly trained Canadian priests, nuns and ministers. Immigrants help, but tend to stay within their countrymen in the cities - leaving the country full of vacant parishes.
The general populace cares little, most have moved on to a fully secular life and have not looked back. Recent immigrants are fading as they see nothing happens, the old time highly supervisory religious structure is gone. Muslims try the hardest to maintain the full supervisory panoply, but few workplaces have enough adherents to self-supervise, and if they are alone, they often meet and marry outside the faith and carry on in a near secular manner.
These are observations. In areas of high numbers of faithful a social structure often keeps a faith going, whatever kind it is.
Because the majority of consumers don't know better / don't care and still buy products from companies with no backup plan. Because, really, how can any of us know better until we're burned many times over?
Ha! I started building the same thing. Luckily for you I never finished it ;-D

And the shift from local news to national news (cable and the internet), and news conglomerates created by private equity buying up local papers and gutting their staff, has largely not broken down any geographical monopolies, it has for the most part simply removed local news from existence.

And no, Twitter and Facebook are not suitable replacements.
Which US MSM news channel voices out against Israel?

They have apartheid in the lawbooks, but I think no US MSM channel goes as far to dare to say this... They dare say it about Arab countries (maltreatment of migrant workers). They've said it about South-Africa.
Agreed. Many unfortunate things arise from it, especially when the needle moves from basic interests to flat-out greed. Pervasive removal would be a seismic social shift. The “common wealth” was a capitalist concept at one time.

it's just the pop-sci writing style. You see this with lots of articles and content directed at a general audience - I think this author's just reused the same style to talk to a technical audience. It's not inherently condescending, it just comes across that way if you're writing for an audience of technical peers.

this kind of breathless style makes more sense when you don't expect the audience to be technically literate and the content is there to make them say "wow, I don't understand anything you're saying but there certainly are technical words in here!" - see, for instance, popular media around anything related to quantum mechanics.
I agree. What we've been doing is - based on advice from somewhere I can't remember - is to always make things easy to remove.
So whenever a new app/module/service is added - the "author" has to think about making said thing easy to remove.
The result is that new apps/modules/services must have very few connections with the other parts of the code. It does result in a fair amount of "get_<app>_settings" on the base classes, but the result is a lot less spaghetti.
The thing is, we rarely remove stuff later on - but when we do, it's often only a few methods that needs to be altered in order to disconnect a specific part of the system.
They'd send that by another carrier if there was no USPS. Everyone along the way profits from those adverts even if you don't-- that's why they pay valuable money to do to
Maybe it has something to do with Meltdown/Spectre mitigations.
I like the feature additions but dislike that there's no visual division between the menu bar and the title bar you can click and drag to manipulate the window. Windows 10 and 11 often make me feel as if I have some disorder of the nervous system as I'm forever clicking just to the side of the interface element I want to use.
>It seems bad now but I wonder how much worse it might be when no one actually has access to money because all financial traffic is going through AWS and it goes down.

Most financial institutions are implementing their own clouds, I can't think of any major one that is reliant on public cloud to the extent transactions would stop.

>Why hasn't the industry come up with an alternative?

You mean like building datacenters and hosting your own gear?
I think it needs to be less than $1, and really easy to do. And there needs to be trust that the card will only be used for that one article.
I think you are agreeing with me. There's anecdotal evidence like you offer. It's not necessarily obvious to everyone that automated tests improve code quality or it would be a settled issue (it's not).

In my own career (40+ years) I have worked with automated testing and TDD, and without, and I can't say that TDD "obviously" improves code quality. I know other professional programmers who have that experience. Like everything else in software development it's probably situational and depends on the individuals and the team.
Offtopic: why cloudflare generally has issue with batch deletes? CF worker also doesn't support batch deleting or emptying kv.
I wouldn't jump to say it's short sitedness (it is shitty) but it could be a matter of being pragmatic... It's easier to maintain the code if it is loaded at run time (think thin client browser style). This way your iot device can load the lastest code and even settings from the cloud... (advantage when the cloud is available)... I think of this less of short sitedness and more a reasonable trade off (with shitty side effects)
Slightly differing perspective:

Newspapers and Google/Facebook (hereinafter "Big Tech") are not competitors, regarding the product of news. The former produces news, the later does not. Access to news can be sold. Readers will pay for it.

The question is what exactly does Big Tech produce that is saleable. IOW, what does Big Tech produce that can be sold. What do they produce that people will pay for. With respect to news product, Big Tech are intermediaries, what we colloquially refer to as "middlemen".

Newspapers may be willing to provide some news "for free", e.g., via a website. However newspapers also can sell subscriptions. Newspapers have a saleable product. The saleable product is what attracts an audience, irrespective of whether readers are paying subscribers or not.

Big Tech generally provide access to the work of others "for free". Generally, Big Tech has no saleable products (cf. services) of their own labour. Any audience that Big Tech attracts is reliant on the products of others. Big Tech generally does not produce the content it uses to attract an audience. The content belongs to someone else.

To any reader who sincerely believes Big Tech has "products" (cf. services) of their own labour, please consider how much revenue could Big Tech "earn" without acting as intermediaries for the work product of others. IOW, how much revenue could Big Tech earn solely from selling their own "products". Would Big Tech still be "Big".

NB. "cf. services" as used above means please distinguish products (tangible) from services (intangible).
That works for one-offs, but becomes a problem when you're working with a set of interrelated features, like a class. There, the very first thing I need is a high-level overview, not a reference. Of course, the reference is still useful for those who are familiar with the thing at hand.
Ask HN: How to understand Authorization on Web and Mobile Apps?
Hey everyone,

My name is Firat, and I just start leading a really technical (an Authorization API, simply Stripe for Authorization)

And I don't have really technical background. I'm trying to talk as many technical person as possible, and understand the problem.

But still I feel incompetent sometimes, so what would be the single best advice you'd give to me? (As a person who are discovering the problem space and understand Authorizations in web and mobile applications)
> I'm not entirely sure if the Russian strategy on the Eastern Front was a "good strategy", but the Russian soldiers at least had the benefit of knowing where the enemy was.

For sure, and the cost was immense. It worked though.

It might not be cost effective but that alone isn’t the full picture. Taking out a ship or carrier or something would be an incredible PR win/loss depending on one’s side and would change everyone’s strategies.
fvwm, since 1998.

I've started to use the new version 3 on desktop. But it still has got some problems when connecting/disconnecting monitors, so I use version 2 on the laptop where I need to do that.

No DE, unless you count LXQt as a basic session manager. I don't know why, but it seems things works more smoothly with a session manager instead of just starting fvwm from .xsession.

That's what I'm saying: you host it yourself in facilities owned by your company if you're not willing to have everyone twiddle their thumbs during this sort of event. Your DR environment can be co-located or hosted elsewhere.
Yes, all implementation that I'm aware of use EUI-64, which requires a /64

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7421 is helpful in understanding this.

Basically it explains that SLAAC RFC itself does not define the /64 limitation, but other RFCs that are relevant to network operation do.

"""
The addressing architecture [RFC4291] [RFC7136] sets the IID length
at 64 bits for all unicast addresses and therefore for all media
supporting SLAAC. An immediate effect of fixing the IID length at 64
bits is, of course, that it fixes the subnet prefix length also at 64
bits, regardless of the aggregate prefix assigned to the site
concerned, which in accordance with [RFC6177] should be /56 or
shorter.

for the record though, I don't care much about neither the US's culture wars nor for the attempts of Israel to travel two thousand years in the past. Both look like extremely dumb ideas but taking sides means only increasing the idiocy at hand.

This was my observation as well. I haven't used Notepad in so long, I had to open it for comparison. Yes, they've doubled the amount of wasted space, changing one menu item from text to a gear icon.

It's also possible that this is a joke. Nobody that reads dev blogs uses Notepad as part of their mission critical process.

OK, let's ignore North America for a second [1] [2] and look at the whole world. I only find one country under 50% (barely!) and that's Hong Kong. I've been there; it's pretty crowded.

Given that much or even most high-density housing in big cities is rental and not condo or other ownership, it does seem like most people worldwide prefer to own. I don't have the data on single-family vs. multi-unit.
