You’re illustrating my point here. You’re assuming that everyone fully believes and supports anything in the party platform, especially the most extreme elements.

This absolutely works both ways and erases people in favor of a label.

I talk to a lot of conservatives. While many of them oppose abortion, the issue that sent so many of them over the edge is the lack of willingness of Democrats to agree on a limit. The bulk of opposition is to late term abortions.

The lack of reasonable discourse is what sets extremes in place.

Another example: Tim Scott’s police reform bill that he thought could move forward with bipartisan support. It didn’t solely because Democratic leadership wanted to ensure that it remained an election issue.

We still have no movement on an equivalent bill since Biden took office.

Examples like this make it pretty clear that the party leadership doesn’t actually want to resolve issues.

Allowing the people who benefit from division to keep doing it will only make things worse.
If it takes 15 years to teach someone only to a decent level, the industry needs to start laying out plans for effective training and credentialing. The solution here is not higher years required, but more effective teaching. Learning on the job is practical, but not efficient, one example being you spend time dealing with org issues rather than learning something technical.

I don't agree that it takes 15 years though. I think you're setting the standards way too high for no good reason, especially for "decent".

It's a miracle that the human race has survived this long, and COVID is clearly not driving us to extinction.
To assuage some of your concerns, the museum requires an EU COVID certificate and accompanying ID for entry, capacity is reduced, and visitors must wear masks except while dining in the cafe. Your travel fears are off-topic so I'll leave it at that.
I’d suggest that dense city living without the suburban sprawl would be the ideal. Pack the people in, and free up as much open space and agricultural land as possible.

It's hypocritical in the same way that "You critique capitalism, yet you still have an iPhone" is technically hypocritical. Hypocrisy is an overrated faux-pas; you're allowed to critique systems which you still participate in.
I find DNA storage plays really interesting. Will be fascinating to see what Microsoft[1], Iridia [0], etc ... solutions evolve into.

"two major problems of traditional storage devices: data density and durability. One of the densest forms of storage is tape cartridges, which house about 10GB/cm3. Iridia is on a path to having a storage device that could store 1PB/cm3 and reduce latency by 10–100 times compared to magnetic tapes. The other problem that Iridia is solving is durability. Rotating disks tend to work for 3–5 years, while magnetic tapes for 8–10 years. Because DNA is extremely durable, Iridia’s technology on the other hand has an estimated half-life of more than 500 years."

A bit of a problem tho for most orgs. If you can only pay more money by promoting people, the job market is suddenly so hot people will leave if you don’t get them more money, but it is a bit silly to just promote every one, and there is a useful distinction to be had between people whose work is mostly heads down coding vs people whose work is also mentoring and communicating technical views to larger numbers of people. The words around promotions usually seem to be about expanding influence and affecting larger numbers of coworkers. That is useful, and fun if you like it, but the purely awesome coders might also need big raises when job market spikes.

Speaking from experience, just because Azure is Microsoft doesn't mean that it's point-and-click to get a .NET app running on Azure, especially if you do anything non-standard in startup. Just google "ANCM in-process failure" to see dozens - hundreds - of out-of-the-box .NET apps that just refuse to run in an out-of-box Azure compute/VM.
That’s only one pressure driving viral evolution.

Another pressure is social response to infection: so far, the predominant response to a more-virulent or more-lethal strain has been lockdown and/or other behavioral change, see: delta in India. On the flip side, a variant that causes milder symptoms is less likely to cause the same social response, which allows the virus to spread more widely.

This may (may!) be what we’re observing with Omicron. In any case, we’ll know much more in a few weeks.
Show HN: Cross-platform TCP reverse shell written in Rust
Hey HN!

Today I'd like to share what will hopefully be just the beginning of a collection of offensive security tools I write in Rust. I decided to give this a shot because I wanted to be able to generate my own reverse shells for CTFs and the like without needing to rely solely on 3rd party tools.

With a quick change to the config.rs file, you can compile a TCP reverse shell that will point back to your machine whether your target is running Linux or Windows. Linux uses Rust's std::process::Command while Windows uses the windows::Win32 APIs.

Over time I intend to create more tools that use this as a base. Some ideas include: a TCP reverse shell that performs process migration, an obfuscated version for circumventing antivirus, and a staged version. Would love to hear what you think about it!

Happy hacking

How many of these "X sucks" articles with an attention-grabbing headline can make it to the top of HN in a week?

While these articles lament the state of technology today and wish it were better like back in the good old days, there are never solutions put forward. Only negativity.

Why do they gain so much traction on HN, one of the few remaining outposts of thought-provoking articles and discussion?

What do we get from these endless articles about why some product or technology sucks?

That pretty much lines up with my comment about engineers that would prefer to work on some bit of shiny new tech that's more glamorous than cost controls, and my general sentiment that AWS simply doesn't benefit from pursuing these changes.
What makes the difference in my mind is that AR technology is gaining steam. There's a chance that we'll have a new desire to link the spatial, physical world to spatial and virtual interactions.

> The Uyghur population is increasing. The birth rate is similar to that of the Han majority. Uyghur life expectancy is increasing. Incomes and literacy are increasing.

>”Genocide" means a systematic attempt to physically destroy an ethnic or religious group. The 3-child policy in China (which applies to the Han majority as well) does not even come close to being anything like an attempt to physically eliminate the Uyghur people.

There is no basis for your claim that the forced sterilization/abortions of the Uyghur people occurs at similar rates within the Chinese majority, or that it is merely an enforcement of the three child policy.
You will not have the developer tooling and know-how to pull off a good monorepo workflow. Avoid it. I can assume this because, well, if you have to ask then the answer is a solid no, don’t do it.

The way I have seen this being operazionalized in AWS is by Finance having the exclusive access to a "parent" AWS account controlling billing (and nothing else), and then providing sub-acconts to Production, Development, Data Science and other technical stakeholders.

I'm not sure there is one really, because deployment varies a lot depending on your technology stack, your architecture, your deployment model, your product. You sort of learn the fundamental concepts and then pick out the pieces that fit your use case.

Everyone should read Continuous Delivery to start (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321601912/ref=as_li_tl?ie...). It's 10 years old but it's still the canonical reference for how most people should be deploying in the modern age.

A book on containers would be the next thing I'd learn very thoroughly. Whether you run them in Docker on a single host, or run them in a cloud orchestration system, doesn't matter really. Just having an app in a container provides the abstractions you want to enable rapid, reliable deployment on multiple platforms. Most deployments should be dead simple: pulling and starting a new container, pointing traffic at the new container, stopping the old one. Rollback is the same in reverse order of container. There should be a billion different services to manage this for you, but you can also do it yourself on a single Linux box easily.

Then a book on database migrations, which isn't really complicated once you get the jist of it. This teaches the idea that if you're using a database, you have to think hard about how you're using it in context of your code deployments, and gives you a model for how to handle both reliably.

Next, the tools Terraform and Packer are very useful for handling the "infrastructure" side of deployment. If you manage an actual VM that runs your apps, build the image with Packer and deploy it with Terraform. It's much better to use some managed provider that just runs your containers so you don't need to deal with this. But if you do need to manage a host OS, this will make it seamless and reliable to do the inevitable maintenance in a way that you can test first, and recover easily from failure.

Ensuring your app works along the methods of the 12 Factor App (it's just a website, no book) will make sure it fits into all the tools and methods. If you just look for the deployment piece of every part of 12FA, you'll build a very robust deployment system.

Finally, learn Bash and how to set up a web server like Nginx (and how to use it as a reverse proxy) and you will have basically all the skills you need to do modern best practice deployments.

I don't even know where to find people with shared interests anymore who are actually willing to deal with other people as something other than a potential customer, victim, or at best a single-serving friend for the duration of exactly one interaction. Hell, I'm guilty of it a lot of the time too when I'm not paying attention to it.

I think I originally enjoyed the internet because it allowed me to find communities of people who shared my interests that no one in real life did. Nowadays I've gravitated back to real life because while no one really shares my interests I at least can, rarely, find people who treat me like a person instead of an NPC, at least when they aren't looking at their phone.

(author here) I agree - there's definitely a technical ransom to pay for hosting your own site, even with managed solutions, there's still domain names, hosting etc. to work though - it's not for everyone and I'm not claiming it is.

Maybe I wasn't clear on that point, apologies if that's the case. I spoke about POSSE and using more decentralised platforms, like Mastodon.

Again, they're not for everyone either, and I don't expect them to be. It would just be nice if we got a little more of web 1.0 back. :-)
Yes. Covid will continue to mutate to become more contagious and less deadly. This is the natural progression of endemic viruses, they don't want to kill their hosts and they want to spread.
Yeah, you used to get web space and email thrown in with your ISP, in the UK. Snobbery hadn't taken hold, you could just upload a few pages from File Explorer, via FTP. Yeah sure it was rough around the edges, but in many ways far more accessible or rather, less confusing. Not as much a big pile of mud than it is now.
> I would suspect that most people who are were already vulnerable have already passed or built immunity if the virus is equally dangerous, resulting in a lower than equal death rate despite equivalent risk.

You are forgetting about the most vulnerable group of all: immunosuppressed people.

They cannot mount a sufficient immune response, in severe immunosuppression like after a transplant event months or years after. In some cases the covid mortality for these people can approach 40% for young adults.

We have to be mindful of people like this when thinking about dropping mask mandates and such. Or "whoever's not vaccinated dies of their own fault". Not 100% true.

We as a society must protect those most vulnerable.
Biden quit demonizing BLM. That's a huge step in calming things instead of being the strong man who dismisses their beliefs and calls them sons of bitches. Trump having done more is laughable when he intentionally inflamed the situation.
Seems really promising, but how does it work with browser extensions? For instance, I'm looking for something like this that will help me test my crypto app that uses metamask at various points through the app.

Also, no public pricing page is a bit of a turn off, especially when I created an account and still couldn't find any pricing info.
It's not just about the melting of the ice. I mean, it is. Point 2 in this list is about an ice shelf that itself is mostly floating (so that melting in itself doesn't really contribute to sea level rise), but this shelf blocks a glacier on land, preventing a massive amount of land ice from sliding into the sea, and from what I understand, it sounds like once the shelf collapses, this glacier flowing into the sea could lead to quite rapid sea level rise. And that glacier is connected to other glaciers that could soon follow, leading to the collapse of all glaciers across West Antarctica, which would be quite serious.

And that shelf is already melting, and cracks are appearing. It's currently kept in place by an undersea mountain, but when it melts too much or breaks up, it could lose that grip, and things can start moving very quickly all of a sudden.

The fact that global temperatures are undeniably going up and are continuing to rise, isn't exactly helping with keeping all that ice in its place.
I am not a professional.

I have been basing a lot of my virus information from Tomas Pueyo. Here is my source:

https://unchartedterritories.tomaspueyo.com/p/the-omicron-qu...

In this article he clarified that generally viruses that spread more are less severe (as killing the host makes it tougher to spread). The asymptotic nature of Covid sort of broke this assumption because Covid can lie dormant in someone for a week before the person shows severe illness
The tough part with making it small is the smaller the torus or device the larger the gradient of forces along a riders body which can be disorienting. Any useful G level and comfortable size would likely be larger than any existing module.
If the performance difference significantly price per terabyte then I would certainly use these. As long as the actual sequential throughput isn't terrible they should be fine for media storage.

That said Windows and Linux could certainly get some polish when it comes to accessing high latency storage. Opening a high-latency or even missing network share on Windows (still?) causes explorer.exe to hang.

Linux might handle multi-second IO OK but I have had cases on extremely bad flash USB drives (hacked a bunch of write-once drives) where the IO is blocked for minutes after the write appears to have finished.

In any case it would be really could to throw bcachefs on a HDD drive like this with a cache SSD.
I'd extend the sweet spot to 2010ish. The commercialization of the '00s didn't screw things nearly as badly as the arothighmization of engagement we've seen since IMO.
The fact that these slides are dated 2017, and the company is flatly denying any knowledge of these slides published on their own website in tandem with the government, implies these technologies are all in production and now mature.

Somewhere, someone is working on a bug ticket right now: "Person789 not recognized in their voice recordings."
If I felt that I had to write a rant, it would read a lot like this. Well said.

I'd also add that smartphones and tablets have done much to mess up the Web. The "all white space" site design trend is one of the results. The old version of the NHL stats page was chock full of information; now it's chock full of white space and requires a lot of extra scrolling, all so it's usable on a touchscreen.
I'm not sure how useful of a description for revolutionaries this is. They are not necessarily lonely wolfs as I interpret the article, they might deeply care or not about things like diversity and they are certainly able to do a lot of politicking. Unless you want to completely redefine the term.

For me the difference comes more down to, as with the conflicts within lots of political groups in history: reformists vs non-reformists. The former advocating the reform of an existing system or institution whereas the others believe the right approach is abolition and replacement. You could also add reactionaries, those that want to go back how things used to be.

Neither of which is universally true I think, more often than not it is a mix. But I don't think you get very far trying to mix the extremes from either side.
The data on severity is still difficult to transfer across countries. What seems reasonably certain is that vaccinations and previous infections do protect reasonably well against hospitalization and death. It is still not clear how the unvaccinated and not infected will fare.

And the speed of this variant is enormous. We're seeing a doubling time between 2 to 3 days in several countries like Denmark or the UK. That is far faster than any previous variant.
How do you reconcile this with the human race existing for so long? I guess you could make the argument global travel has changed things, but I’m not sure.

>Probably naive to think we could totally eradicate it within a couple of years, particularly as far as vaccine fearmongering is concerned. Would be nice to see it join Smallpox and Polio though.

We would have to completely redesign our current method of vaccination, then. We do not have a sterilizing vaccine for COVID (like we did for smallpox and polio). The current vaccines all use spike proteins to prepare a body's antibodies against the main infection tool of the COVID virus. This method indirectly prevents the virus from efficiently infecting cells in vaccinated hosts, but it does not and cannot eradicate the virus.
