> People with a criminal history who go back to a life of crime just get a gun through their criminal organization the same way they get the illegal drugs they're dealing.

just because they can have weapons somehow is not a reason to make it very easy and legal.

> people with a criminal history who reform themselves will commonly also carry a gun, for self-defense against criminals from their past life.

Firearm are not defense tools. If someone shoot you, I don't see how it will save your life or protect you.

> Banning possession of a technology is weak. If you wrongfully shoot someone, you should go to prison. If you have a gun and don't harm anyone with it, no one should have a problem with that.

I live in a country that ban guns, and I'm not aware of a reason why it would affect anyone's life negatively. There are certainly less death by firearm though.
The article anthropomorphizes bugs even though the studies themselves warn against it. They describe the insects' experiences as emotional primitives
Just to add to this. Back in 2012 I started coding something that I considered a necessary libertarian corrective to the centralized social networking world. I'm not going to post the idea here because I still consider it too explosive. Thankfully no one has done it yet. There came a point deep into the development when I realized that all my arguments to the contrary - arguments which sounded exactly like yours - were wrong. The system I was building to free humanity from centralized, moderated, let's say channeled forms of controversy, would be exploited by the worst, not the best. The fascists and the trolls would absolutely dominate the space, and if they did, the stakes would be life and death. And it would be me who had built that space that they were now using; a space they couldn't have conceived of themselves. This was why I shut the project down. Looking back, I was right. What's happened with FB and Twitter and January 6th was a pale shadow of what my concept might have opened up, in those years, when anyone was looking for any new platform. The sickening thing is that while we're in the business of opening up communication and tell ourselves we're creating liberty, we do have to weigh the question of whether average Joes are ready for it and be honest with ourselves - a lot of times they're not.

Here you go, so powerful, so great
And you will get 1/N of requests timing or erroring out, and in the meanwhile paying 2x or 3x the costs. So, it might be worth in some cases but you need to evaluate it very, very well.
When one of the mediums actively helps and avoids small human errors, I'd prefer the person knowing using it instead of sticking an old and imperfect method out of pride.
5 minutes isn't long enough to notice that the conversation switched topics every time you asked a deeper question.

For what it's worth, I didn't get this impression at all, I interpreted it as very amusing light-hearted humour
Avocados are another seedpod (technically a berry, believe it or not) evolved to be eaten by mammoths and giant sloths. Unlike the osage orange, however, it didn't adapt to their extinction and would likely have gone extinct itself afterward, except for one saving grace: Mesoamerican humans thought they were delicious and started cultivating them.
Hmm, I don’t really see why that wouldn’t count. Do car/truck work vehicles not count for car mode share?
Just claiming an opposing stance isn't enough to validate it. This is just a silly opinion for the sake of argument.

I live in a country with a 40-45 hour max work week. After that, you pay 1.5x rates. Saturdays are 1.5x rates for salaried workers and Sundays and public holidays are 2x. There are very serious legal consequences for trying to skirt the system.

As paid overtime becomes the norm, it becomes another metric to track. Project managers that routinely run into overtime are punished. The same as any other expense caused by analysis failures.

You seem to think paid overtime suddenly incentivises a company to just up the price of their product. Like it was equivalent equivalent the rising price of materials. It just doesn't work that way.

Not everyone is a piss poor planner who can't react to changes in environments. Plenty of projects I've worked for have been pretty close to budget. When overtime is required, we talk to the customer. Their money, their decision ultimately.

If your costs unexpectedly skyrocket, you're not keeping customers.

I'm getting a little bored of these "qualification by differnce of opinion" reasoning. You've gotta actually qualify your opinion
OP here. What is the quickest way to fix it? Given the ubiquity of Log4j, this seems to be a problem that lot of folks must be racing to fix

When it's -40° Kelvin, it does.

(Well, "intellectual curiosity" wise... "Cognize -40°K. On a tesseract")
Could you explain that please? Why does it seem arrogant?
To add to onion2k’s point, a better “let’s give it a shot” alternative is to raise the base remuneration to account for the potential overtime.

That way if you’re overflown with overtime it’s in your compensation, if you manage to not do any overtime you’ll benefit from it.

It’s arguably harder to negotiate, but I think it would be the best way forward. Now, if the choice is between nothing and paid overtime, yes it’s worth it getting paid overtime.

> - Minecraft servers are being hacked all over the world ! Chaos and panic ! :)

It sounded funny, but last night I was laying on my bed watching my last video of the day uploaded by a Minecraft YouTuber (xisumavoid actually) who mentioned the "Critical Security Issue". Back then my first reaction was "HA! suck on that Mojang!" without a single awareness of how bad things actual turned out.

I guess if you're a Java dev, subscribe to Minecraft news really helps (a little, maybe) LOL.
Your attitude is how this log4j issue made it into production and stayed there for so long.
Sometimes I wonder which site has been featured on HN homepage the most, and I think this (considering exact URL matching) would be ranking pretty high!

I personally never could get through these guides myself. I prefer to learn by banging at it till it work and then googling like a madman until eventually I find the most idiomatic way of doing something. Following the code smell so to speak. YMMV I'm very much a polyglot.

I don't think it's a case of gruelling, it's more that streaming is the social outcast version of acting. You have to interact with people to act else it doesn't work. Streaming can be entirely solo, even at the top end

Nobody is forcing you to be live 12 hours a day. Most of the super effort no reward streamers would benefit by cutting the live hours and working more on marketing anyway. Twitch in particular is terrible for organic growth

Not to imply any negativity in this comment if it reads that way, just shite at words. I've dabbled in streaming and realised I need to build up the audience first otherwise it's a massive timesink
I wish there was a language tour, otherwise I don't know what this is.

You dont even have slight hallucinations while falling to sleep, just like in the linked article? My first sign is I usually start hearing voices which I almost always know are not real.
Yup. There was a GCP outage a couple of years ago like this.

I don’t remember the exact details, but it was something along the lines of a config change went out that caused systems to incorrectly assume there were huge bandwidth constraints. Load shedding kicked in to drop lower priority traffic which ironically included monitoring data rendering GCP responders blind and causing StackDriver to go blank for customers.
Annoyet about Mozilla Firefox Web APIs Implementation
OK I see the Mozilla Firefox has not full implemented Web APIs from the W3C and this is so annoying to read this. How I can implement a proper Web App without this functions and now I understand why Google Chrome is for some services the better choice.
In many (most?) countries, cops often get away with killing people without actual cause which could justify a non-cop killing a person. And if the person killed is stereotypically disdained (prisoner, member of oppressed ethnic group, homeless person etc.) - then they almost always get away with it.
log4j actually has something replacing an expression in curly brackets with something that can make a network call? And that just sat there?

From the look of it, it’s not just an edge case of jndi either, it seems it’s the purpose of the whole prefix?

When would a network request ever be a valid thing to do as a result of logging?

Not to mention, when would it ever be acceptable to run remote code as a result? Or was the execution of a remote class using a vulnerability and not by protocol design?
Your comment is overly dismissive and provides no better evidence than the comment you are responding to.

Not everyone is a poor planner, but deadlines become firm when large marketing spends are deployed, as they are in the gaming industry.
Yeah, it's evolved into an absurd and mercifully very unusual/difficult to imitate business model. But in my (early) experience on the project, the model of selling content to a nonexistent game was something Chris Roberts very much stumbled into by accident. When I started working with him I'm sure it never occurred to him that such a thing could even be lucrative. CR was extremely deadline-driven until the crowd funding and the fan forums got into it. Prior to that, it was specific goals, limits, milestones, and a pathway to launching ASAP. In a sense, the crowd preferred being strung along, or at least sending resources to things that would delay development in exchange for some holy grail down the road. The shift was profound when it happened. SC is a bad example for most things, because it really was started with the best of intentions but became such a shitshow that most people assume it was intended as a con from day one.
You presume a push model. And compare it to a pull model (iframes). I think that is where the solutions are.

The messages could be delivered as a simple XML feed. Your virtual home, or HUD knows where to place them. Through hyperlinks they know where to subscribe, or refresh, or get details. The messages don't need to know anything about placement and usage.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think I started this trend with my "learn Python in 10 minutes" tutorial back in the day.
Somehow I feel it's more humane to kill an intruder than to blind him.
Man, that brought back a bunch of memories. I worked at Netgear between 2004 and 2009, and we had a line of networked audio and video products that never really took off. At some point we got on the DLNA train, and the best part of that was that Intel and Microsoft would host interoperability events[0] in fun cities around the world, several times a year, and I got to go to many of them. (At that point the team was just me and one other guy, and he had a family, so it was easier for me, the single guy in his 20s, to go to these things.)

The integrations on the hardware were buggy (at that time Netgear outsourced the software for these boxes to firms in southeast Asia, so we didn't have all that much control over the quality), Windows MCE was buggy, everything was buggy (the whole power management stuff mentioned in the article rang a bell; it was distinctly hard for our devices to reliably wake up a sleeping MCE box despite following the spec exactly). And the user experience was just terrible; it was hard to understand what you needed to do to get things set up properly, and the software was pretty clunky.

[0] Basically you and your competitors would go stay at a hotel where a bunch of Intel and MS reps (and all your competitors) had booked a bunch of rooms, and you'd bring your hardware to a few different hotel rooms each day, hook things up, and make sure everything worked with each other. It was funny because this all took place in regular hotel rooms with beds and everything; they usually didn't book conference rooms or anything like that. They always scheduled a full week of this, but it would usually end up only taking 3 days or so, so I'd turn it into a long-weekend vacation in Paris, Berlin, Venice, etc.
I see it more as a shrub than a tree. How high are they?

Saying "S3 is down" can mean anything. Our S3 buckets that served static web content stayed up no problem. The API was down though. But for the purposes of whether my organization cares I'm gonna say it was "up".
Ask HN: Best way to prepare a codebase for open-source?
Hi HN,

How would you approach the process to opensource a proprietary codebase, especially regarding things such as ensuring that no secrets are sitting somewhere in the history.

I'd be tempted to publish without history but I feel like a lot of important context will be lost.
Which you almost certainly do today.
It does matter what projectile is made from and it's shape. Something automatic with some good cameras and AI driven that targets only soft parts of the body could do some nice damage.

Man-pages is a Linux thing, while python packages are cross-platform and can be installed on Windows.

It seems out of scope for a python packager to include such files. As a user i would also not be very happy to see a pip install start dropping files all over my system. How would that behave in a virtualenv anyway? Sandboxing should be a key feature of a package manager.

A former corporate programmer who was a highly paid corporate programmer at the time when he told me this is that all they do is very fast simple arithmetic. Add and subtract.

Great hackers on the PG spectrum may get struck by inspiration and may outperform the average corporate programmer by 10x or 100x or more and work crazy hours while the creative electricity buzzes.

That particular drug was on the news in Norway this week because it is so incredibly expensive that the state don't want to pay for it. We are talking 20-30k USD per month per patient.

I partially excused that mentally with a "but yeah, research is expensive", but now learning that it was paid for by donations ruins that argument.

The fact that the state don't want to pay for it is of course also debatable..

> [Even at] 3 meters of social distancing ... it takes less than five minutes for an unvaccinated person standing in the breath of a person with Covid-19 to become infected with almost… certainty ... if the infected persons have the high viral load of the delta variant of the Sars-CoV-2 // Even so ... if both the infected and the non-infected person wear well-fitting FFP2 masks, the maximum risk of infection after 20 minutes is hardly more than one per 1,000, even at the shortest distance. If their masks fit poorly, the probability of infection increases to about 4%. If both wear well-fitting medical masks, the virus is likely to be transmitted within 20 minutes with a maximum probability of 10%. [Such] infection probabilities ... indicate the upper limit of the risk [in the extreme assumption the expired is undiluted: i]n daily life, the actual probability of infection is certainly 10 to 100 times smaller

FFP2, both, fitting: max 0.1% at 20min; FFP2, both, loose: 4% at 20min; surgical, both, fitting, 10% at 20min - exaggerated theoretical values.

There is also an article on MedicalXpress, https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-12-maximum-covid-infecti...

> In their calculations of the risk of infection, the Göttingen team considered a number of factors that had not previously been included in comparable studies ... The team also considered that droplets that people spread when they breathe or speak dry while in the air and become lighter. This means that they remain in the air longer but also have an increased virus concentration as equal size droplets directly after release. When inhaled, the opposite happens: the particles take up water again, grow like a drop in the cloud and therefore deposit more easily in the respiratory tract

@Dan: title: the specification 'from COVID' is required to make the title meaningful ("protection" from what); that of 'MaxPlank' is to discriminate this study (also through the timeframe of this post) from assumedly a large number of others on this very general topic.
That's a weak reason. I could make my own paper.
Not exactly. Tekton and Argo are really different from what I described, but regarding the second part, agree that it won't be as perfect as what you can compose the file yourself (at least at the beginning) but that's not the point.
We had paid overtime working on APB at Realtime Worlds across the whole salaried team. I do think it curbed the crunch a bit but did nothing for the project management side of things. There were so many things wrong with that project though it’s probably not a great case study. The other side of it is that people would work extra hours even if they didn’t need to which you might think is great but actually leads to lots of downstream effects because there is more to test that’s been written by people past their best.

My personal take is that the overall discipline of managing software projects is so woolly and ill-understood to begin with that the incentives aren’t really there beyond the obvious fairness of actually paying people for the work they do. You don’t need a cost to competently push back against unrealistic processes.
Definitely. Bullet & Streaming have changed everything.

Every day we have world class GMs (including Magnus) playing online, streaming play, commentary & such. It's put a real buzz into the game. A lot of it has to do with the personalities of current competition GMs and top streamers at the top.
I get this too! And they are hallucinations - hypnogogic hallucinations. It starts out for me in thought but then blossoms into something that feels very real.

Apparently it’s a normal phenomenon, I’ve noticed it’s more pronounced in those who struggle to get off to sleep.

Usually, when I try to explain it, it comes out as nonsense that makes complete sense to me. But once I’m awake, the sense is lost and it makes zero sense.

But it’s not always nonsense. Once I heard the most beautiful orchestra. The composition, the performance, it was truly beautiful. I can’t remember anything about it other than it was the most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard.

Coming in at a close second was an incredible guitar solo. It was a deep, emotional ballad expressed entirely on the fret board of an electric guitar. Again, truly beautiful. I look but I can never find anything that matches it. The closest I’ve come are some live performances of Buckethead.

It’s sad that I haven’t the ability to reproduce these experiences.

For the nonsense stuff, I’ve heard voices talking amongst themselves next to my bed. Sounds like they’re speaking English but what they say makes zero sense. Like grammatically correct sentences that mean nothing.

I’ve also watched pigs doing cartwheels while on a guided tour of a suburban neighbourhood.

I’ve never had the self-control to break it and note things down (by that point, I usually just want the sleep) but I have tried to apply ideas from behaviourism. And funnily enough it seemed to help.

On nights that are a particular struggle, I’ll let my mind wander and inject the odd bizarre, abstract thought, audio or visual in my minds eye. What I’ve noticed is that I seem to “catch the drift” and it triggers the whole hypnogogia thing that leads to sleep.

Some nights it doesn’t work but on those nights I’m far too tightly wound.

I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, but never got around to it. What I'd probably do is get a bunch of Raspberry Pis, buy HiFiBerry HATs for all of them, connect speakers, and install snapcast (https://github.com/badaix/snapcast).

But I'd still be afraid that it'd be fiddly and require too much maintenance. I really don't think there's anything commercial you can get that isn't kinda expensive, and almost certainly nothing that's open source / open hardware / open anything.
