I am excited about flatpak for multiple reasons, which boils down to sandboxing:

1. Proprietary software: most proprietary software authors do not play well with packagers. Moreover, I want any proprietary software properly sandboxed

2. Software that you need sandboxed for various reasons: I've been running flatpak nightlies of stuff I otherwise have installed on my system

3. Installing a program without installing a whole bunch of dependencies, hard to clean up after

4. Cleaning up my home directory

Sandboxing (I know most flathub packages have leaky sandboxes, but that's a start) limits the effect of compromising one flatpak. To be clear: I treat any piece of proprietary software as a possible RCE by the author.

User themes issues are probably fixable.

Slower startup as well, to an extent.

Unfortunately, developers are pretty bad at packaging generally, and don't have distro maintainers watching over their CVEs and upgrading dependencies with the flatpak model... Although users could still dig in and fix these by themselves, and sandboxing still gives a few protections.
I think that’s ok. Even people who really know what they want to do can easily reach a point where they don’t know anymore. They may even pursue something else, their “dream career”, only to reach a point where they’re bored with that, too. I would go as far as saying that being in limbo, insecure, bored, questioning without answers, is the natural state. Being pointedly secure in your vision is probably an unstable state.
So your answer is:

"... no, not all ... but a large part."

So what percentage of black people were in prison because they were smoking crack? Why do you say it's "large"? Why don't you just say what the actual percentage was?

Uhhhh... Not.
Sure at all on this.

I mean I get the intent. Everyone signs up, people delegate their votes, or just vote, yada, yada.

Where are the policies to vote on input? Where does deliberation happen? How is notification of interested parties as to the location of deliberation undertaken? Where is all the time found for auditing policy votes times well, everybody?

Where does this currency stuff come into it? And what difference does it make in the long run when you've still got to get together a constitutional convention to rearchitect your various states political processes?

Don't get me wrong; great attempt. I just don't think the problem has ever been so much a technical problem as a "people have time to deal with all this" problem.
> I don't understand this mindset that starts with assuming everyone is essentially a bad actor.

It's pretty hilarious how some people use "I don't understand..." to imply that whatever it is they don't understand is bad, apparently completely oblivious to how it actually speaks more to their own powers of comprehension.
How is that better that just stealing a car without the airtag?
Fear and despair sells better.

But if Omicron happens to be benign enough, it almost acts as a natural vaccine. This would be a very positive development for covid, not negative.

For some reason the focus still seems to be largely on case counts instead of actual outcomes.

Economic impact of lockdowns was mitigated somewhat by mass money printing and fiscal spending. If we lockdown again, will be disastrous for global economy as most monetary and fiscal firepower has been exhausted. Very troubling to see nations moving towards this again

Ask HN: Is data collection the intended purpose of 'security questions'?
Security questions seem to fall into two categories. Either easily researched information "what is your mother's maiden name?" or something that "only you" would know. The problem with the first category should be obvious, and as for the second "What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?" "vanilla" is the equivalent of using a single dictionary word (from a very limited dictionary) as a password, and probably using the same single dictionary word as a password on multiple sites at that.

It seems to be fairly commonplace for people to answer them with gibberish to avoid the aforementioned problems, and (most? all?) websites will override them if you claim you don't remember what answers you gave. This appears to do nothing to make my account more secure, it just makes me want to avoid using your service.

So, for people who have implemented 'security' questions as a form of authentication, what purpose do you think they serve? Are the answers being sold? Is it just theater because you think it will make your users feel safer? Is there some other benefit to collecting this seemingly unnecessary data on your customers and storing it in plaintext that I'm failing to recognize?
The problem is all activity gets sold to data brokers who build up a profile on you for future targeting.
why is Google's web scraping boring/easy? I'm sure it must be very sophisticated/optimized since they want it to be done often and cheaply
I don't think that's right, we all heard the tentative good news as soon as it was available. I think the bias is that there is a massive thirst for certainty and definitive conclusions for each new pandemic development, but science does not work that fast. There's also a bias towards wanting your political side to be proven correct, but the virus doesn't care and has proven all predictions and conclusions wrong at one point or another.
Per [1] As of 18th December, a majority of cases testing with the SGTF (indicator for Omicron) reached over 50% on the 14th December. It's clearer to see in Figure 2.

Thanks for trying, but you're obviously unsuited to the task of having this discussion.
There is one misconception to avoid about having kids. People focus too much on the part where children are young, presumably because this is the part they see happening around them. At the same time they ignore what it means to have children over the whole course of their lives. Consider for example the relationship one has with one’s parents as an adult.

Let me add the disclaimer that of course some adult parent-child relationships are terrible and off-putting. My point is to seek out a perspective which is not too short-sighted regarding procreation.
I'm not sure why people are responding telling me that random monitors are available. Do they have built-in KVMs? If not, they aren't what I'm looking for.
From your other answers, you do seem to acknowledge that you know the answer, but aren't motivated to do anything about it. My answer, like others, is that if you're anything like my hometown friends in their 30s, you haven't made new friends in a while, don't exercise much, and don't spend much time in nature. Tech sucks. It's boring, stressful, you don't meaningfully improve anyone's life directly, and you often don't make as much as the general contractor who fixes your drywall. Working backwards from that might be how you adjust your career accordingly, starting with a hobby where you spend at least 3 hours a week hanging out with random people in a totally neutral space.
Good try! But inflation is not the same thing as an increase in the supply. Inflation is the excess of an increase in supply vs the value in the economy it represents. I.e. you have to discount the increase in supply by the growth in the GDP.

For more evidence, consider the gold bonds. The US government sold gold bonds and dollar bonds. The gold bonds offered a lower interest rate than the dollar bonds, because the buyers trusted the gold more than they trusted the fiat money.

The buyers were right. But the buyers were wrong about trusting the government. FDR repudiated the gold bond contracts, paying the holders off in inflated dollars. They basically stole the money from the bond holders.

This wouldn't have happened if gold had inflated along with the dollar.

To me he's someone who has taken the trouble to think things through, and even if he said something that was profoundly offensive to me, I'd just be more interested in why he thought it.

It has clicked recently that I now understand how urgent it is to develop tech to find and inhabit other planets, as the moment we got a picture of our own planet from the moon, whether anyone acknowledged it or not, life and culture here has became a finite zero sum game, and I now doubt that's something we can roll back. This isn't even a negative view, it's just that the tech that enables it will also enable a new source of hope that I think people can orient toward again.

Kind of off topic but this made me laugh because I once saw the phrase "anything worth doing is worth doing poorly" and I have found massive inspiration in that, as it has helped me overcome my perfectionism and just get more things done.

I am so tired of devops as a term. It's a stupid bandaid solution.

Infrastructure, regardless if you use a paas or not, is a tough cookie to crack and deserves a normal sysadmin role.

Monitoring, resource utilization, network management, library updates, costs among a few are things you need to master, observe and proactively manage, not keep it as an afterthought since it magically just works.
I think the point of the headline is to show how shockingly low the cost would be compared to the economic cost of covid.

At the same time, it's a bit disingenuous. What does "vaccinate the world" mean now? Two shots, three, ongoing six-monthly boosters? Even that ignores the fact that the vaccine doesn't work that well on new variants. It would be nice if it was that simple to just spend a "trivial" amount of money and end this, but I don't see anything actionable here

Thinking more about this, it's a bit the same as the thing with Elon Musk and the world food program, in that proponents have put a price tag on something that's not too high, but when you dig into it, that something doesn't really get you as far as it's proponents make it out. It would be great to see Elon or someone of similar means say they will put up the $50 Bn if they are given a sound proposal of how it would end covid restrictions

My first programming job was unionized and the hours were strictly from 8:30-4. With breaks, that worked out to be about 6-6.5 hours per day. I would leave work with lots of energy and be energized to start the next day. I left that job for another one but needed to work 1 hour more per day. It was a pretty similar office environment. I was amazed at how much just one hour a day changed my mood. After a few weeks I no longer had that energetic feeling anymore when leaving work or when waking up.

If you're optimizing for happiness, I think a 30 hour work week is ideal.
10 hours a week is too little to feel happiness and fulfillment from that.
There will always be irresponsible or junior people, the problem is that AWS allows extremely unsafe things in the first place.

Normal hosters wouldn't even open internal infra like DB instances, mail relays or storage up to the Internet, AWS by default doesn't even firewall their internal stuff off and thinks, as long as you have the right credentials, you can't be wrong, even if the IP is not from eu-central-1 but some dial-up in Mexico any more. S3 and SES have mind-bogglingly insecure defaults, and it is hard to wall off your SES credentials enough that they're useless to an attacker who has managed to exfiltrate them (and that one is easy enough, all an attacker needs is a vulnerable log4j and the dubious "best practice" of passing credentials via environment variables).

It is so incredibly easy to mess up on AWS it hurts. AWS is a gun shop that not just sells handguns but nuclear armed bomber jets to anyone presenting a credit card. No knowledge checks, training, nothing required, and you have the firepower of all of AWS on your hands.
Single-Family Zoning: Just “Giving People What They Want”? [video]
One thing I am increasingly noticing as I get older is that the most interesting people hold wildly different political stances on different topics, meaning you can’t predict their stance on any given topic based on political affiliation alone.

In fact, I think this alone would be one of the be best predictors of a person’s intellect and interest in thinking deeply about things: ask 10 politically polarising questions in different areas and score responses based on how diverse they are.
It’s like, what do you call someone who’s absolutely terrified about global warming, and who thinks the best response would’ve been (and actually, still is) a historic surge in nuclear energy, possibly with geoengineering to tide us over?

… who wants to end world hunger … and do it using GMO crops?

On first blush, I would say this is someone who is somehow overly attracted to idealized approaches -- dare we say silver bullets? -- without considering secondary effects or big picture, problem-first analysis. Most of his positions / proposals sound a lot better, but something seems off "off" about these first two.

The first one just doesn't pass the smell test. Nuke plants are expensive and slow to build, and wishing it were otherwise won't make it so; and from a basic risk analysis perspective, it would be foolish to put most of our eggs in the geoengineering basket, without putting the problem of near-term emissions front and center.

And as for the second -- let's just say the problem of global hunger is perhaps more multi-level and multi-factored than the issues that GMO, even in a best case scenario, can ever hope to address.

Not only I received that email too, but I received from three different addresses. I marked it as spam in all cases and I even responded to the first one that it has nothing to do with me or my business.
I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. A lot of folks work continuously to 'find the middle ground' of doing their job in a thoughtful, efficient, effective manner, whilst still defending their boundaries of work vs life. Finding that balance is probably what gives rise to so much discussion around 'not doing every last work task' that you possibly can, but rather prioritizing work tasks by impact/importance and letting some drop (with appropriate comms to your leadership/team etc etc etc).

well, while I definitely block ads as well (when I don't reverse engineer them), this directive does have a good reason. It means:

"Allows a sandboxed document to open new windows without forcing the sandboxing flags upon them".

If it was absent, when user clicks the ad and it opens a new tab of the advertiser website, it would inherit the sandbox directives from the safeframe, which might break it. To be clear "sandbox" in this context refers to the iframe sandbox[0], not to be confused with the renderer process sandbox[1].

Devops is a philosophy not a role. The title DevOps engineer is meaningless.

There are software engineers, who write software and then deploy it onto self serve infrastructure, and there are operations engineers and data engineers who build and maintain the systems that the software engineers use to deploy and operate their software.

Usually when someone calls themselves a DevOps engineer they are an operations engineer, but sometimes they are a software engineer at a small company who also has to maintain their own infrastructure.

My view on translations is that if literary luminaries such as Gabriel García Márquez and Vladimir Nabokov both think that the English versions of their work fully stand up to the test (which they are both on record as stating), then that is good enough for me.

I am not monolingual. I know what it feels like to read in different languages, and here's the thing: The words? The grammar? Easy. You can learn enough to stumble through a newspaper in a matter of months.

The culture behind the language? That is what takes decades to acquire, and if you don't have it, I 100% guarantee you will get a more accurate reading of the author's intent in a well-translated work than you ever would lurching your way though the native text.

Not sure where you got that number from, but getting about that much after a few years of experience is not very hard at all. I've only worked for a daily rate, never hourly. I'm based in the UK where a senior developer can get contracts upwards of £600 per day pretty easily.
