I assume you don't mean these production systems are depending on reliable access to code in a third-party Github repo

When are people going to stop feigning surprise at this? Being completely unable to deploy a new server just because pypi/npm/github etc. is down has been best practice and standard operating procedure for years now.

Keeping a complete audited mirror of everything needed to deploy your product and only pulling code for production from machines you have complete control over is so 2005.

In San Francisco and the Bay Area there's been a recent trend towards dessert cafes. These are a great alternative to bars for social meetups with people.

Any social activity where you get to do stuff with people us good. I like the following:

- Hikes, or outdoor exploration generally

- Renting kayaks (also a really Covid safe social activity)

- Checking out weird quirky museums - see my notes on https://wwww.niche-museums.com

- Going to things like the Alameda antiques fair

Respectfully disagree. The best thing you can do to make meaningful personal change is to change your environment. This is pretty universal advice for people dealing with (either in themselves or others) abuse, addiction, etc.

If people are drinking, it’s often in places catered to drinking as well, leaving not many other options. Being sober in those places is, frankly, boring.
Hi user who signed up specifically to leave this comment (which is not suspicious at all). No, they don't. CSTO is for external threats only. To circumvent this limitation the old farts call people taking part in the protest terrorists (this reminds me of something by the way).

yes, of course, we had a small legacy cluster where I named our 36-odd machines after star trek ships. Knowing full well that when we went to a "real datacenter with real racks", the names would be rack-number/slot-number. My big mistake was zero indexing the slots. Never again.
I know most users don't care but I won't install a browser extension that has full access to every page for this. Have you considered also supporting an API + bookmarklet?

It would be as simple as something like https://www.netvyne.com/?url=%s which would create and redirect you to the comment page for that URL and a simple bookmarklet to generate that URL for the current page.

I also use Firefox so your extension isn't available anyways.

If you think about what they didn't have in 1822 that they did have in 1922:

- Radio

- Movies

- Motorized Rail Transit

- Airplanes

- Blimps

- Recorded Audio

- Electrification (esp. lighting)

- Telephony

- Cars

- Subways

- Fax

- Early Television

- Telegraph

- Skyscapers

- Underwater tunnels

- Air Conditioning

- Elevators

- Modern Hospitals

- Machine Guns, Tanks, Dreadnoughts and other tools of modern war

- Stock Tickers

- Early computing (Tabulators, IBM, etc.)

- Modern Steel Manufacturing

I would bet that the people of the 1920s would find the world of the 2020s much more recognizable than the people of the 1820s would find the world of the 1920s.
A lot of his examples though depend on his observations, as a 3rd party, such as the accident. That wouldn't have any dependency on him being the center of attention. His observation in Morrocco also without his involvement.
Been looking for solutions to replace alcohol to have fun but I couldn't.

Without knowing what you've tried and why it didn't work no one can really give you any effective advice. They might just be suggesting approaches you've tried and not succeeded with.

No difference than a small restaurant that failed to obey proper cleaning and gets fined by health authorities.
"there are no clean non ZK mechanisms to prove your solution outside of sharing the solution itself"

This is not entirely true. Witness hiding proofs are not zero knowledge (no simulator) but also do not reveal the solution. It is a subtle but important difference that can matter in some situations -- for example, a witness hiding proof could potentially allow the verifier to prove a related statement (e.g. proving that the proof protocol was executed).
Oh very true. It is what I keep running into when trying to create something like this. I end up with something where 'the buck stops here' kind of deal. There is a secondary problem too of transfer of ownership. Companies split up and buy each other out all the time. So you have to have a way transfer ownership too. Which in purely technical terms looks like someone else is squatting. But they are not you want them to have it. The existing DNS business system kind of grew into all of this. As in DNS today right now does not preclude anyone not making their own set of domains. You probably could make it very decentralized just using the config options. The problem is someone 'reputable' has to verify. That becomes a weak point and place where someone can gatekeep. Adding any sort of monetary advantage will also unfortunately motivate people to gatekeep. However, money keeps the lights on...
But the server side position of java is already a strange notion of success, as mentioned above java wasn't meant to live there. Hence the parallel with PHP, its mod_php was the reason admins installed it on servers, because it was easier and leaner (compared to mod_perl), a happy accident.

I haven’t used Neon, but from reading the docs, napi-res looks nicer. You add a single macro to the function you want to expose and everything else just works. You don’t even need a special JsResult like Neon uses.
> A common argument I hear from crypto folks is that government-backed currencies are susceptible to hyperinflation, as if cryptocurrencies aren't.

Sufficiently large, they are not. What made you think they were?

Assuming you have a de facto currency which is non-inflationary, the value in holding it rather than redirecting liquidity to another asset class is that holding it is the least risky option. The reason money was directed in to the non-inflationary asset in the first place was that the de facto currency was actively devaluing itself through inflation.

The larger concerns of a currency which cannot inflate are the economic problems which can come along with such stiffness - keyword: "deflationary crash."
The last time I looked, Solvespace has a rather simplistic way of generating STEP files, I don't think it would be easy to add reading them as well.
The products work like so: you can buy them and not put the switches in the dark pattern mode (Not called that). Or you can flick on the switches and make the experience of rejecting 3rd party cookies annoying and unlikely. Called "optimizing visitor experience mode" or similar. And companies that buy them obviously want to do that.

Are they aware that this is when they stop complying, to the point that they could just as well have ignored buying the banner service and just shoved cookies on people quietly like they did before? Perhaps. It's possble that lawsuits could work here too. I'm (like you) guessing there is some fine print saying that you absolutely cannot use the switch that makes the "reject" button disappear under the mouse and have a delay of 60 seconds. And if you do then you are responsible yourself.
"Secure" is kind of a relative term, it only exists with regard to a threat model and a likely spectrum of attacks. Simply having the key in plaintext on a developer PC connected to the regular internet is fairly low-security to start with; there are all sorts of opportunities for coincidental compromise that may have exposed it directly from his PC or his collaborator's PC.

Ask HN: Would you pass an interview for your current position?
Hello fellow HN users.

Is it my idea or are interviews more harder nowadays? If you had to take a technical interview for your current position would you be able to pass it and get the job?

If you were the one doing the interview, would you be strict and request more things so as to filter out candidates? It’s understandable because somehow you need to find the best ones for a given position, but there are some soft skills that C/Java/Python interview problems can’t identify.

I’m asking because I’ve seen many interesting positions in which I could imagine myself into (having ~20 years experience in telecoms/soft engineering), but the entry requirements with regards to programming languages are set too high.

What are your experiences?
This is actually pretty common and for the most part the updates are signed and require user action to install. Now, of course, the signature checking is usually broken, because it's automotive stuff, but it is there :)

Software will never be perfect, but most people aren't actually arguing for perfect. I've seen complicated web apps shit the bed with single-digit requests per second, and those developers also said it doesn't need to be perfect. Forget perfect, how about "doesn't immediately fall over under load"?
Don't alienate yourself. Just diversify your friend investments. That's often a good idea anyway. You don't want one life event of one societal change to make your entire social support system come crumbling down.

Yes but I think we would say that incorrect software in those circumstances "doesn't function."

Most software is "usably wrong," which is good enough to build a career on.

That's silly. There's a single organization in charge of everything, with total enforcement power.

> The root server could technically lie and say thepiratebay.org.'s A record is 127.0.0.1

They don't have to "lie."

The people who own `.` can simply issue public orders to the people who own `org.`. They can set policies, demand payment, demand the removal of hosts, and so on.

Since `.` has the power to remove the `org.` delegation, the owners of `org.` are forced to comply.
I don't think its a definition of a puppet state, its more an act of desperation.

I suspect that the president has realised that the police and army are not entirely on his side, so is wanting to have some "loyal" troops to send round and kill the protestors, in a way that the domestic troops are less likely to.

r/stopdrinking helped me quit. Every time I had the urge to drink, I'd read through posts or write my own.

I still hung out with my friends who drank, but I would always order/make coffee and they all respected that and never gave me any flak. Generally, it's suggested that you find a new group of friends. If your friends can't deal with you drinking non-alcohol, then find a new group.

Four years later, I'm still dry and still want to drink every day. It's easier, but the temptation is ever-present.

Best of luck

“There’s a big gradient between high-pressure air in front of the meteor and the vacuum of air behind it,” said Jay Melosh, a professor of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at Purdue University and co-author of the paper. “If the air can move through the passages in the meteorite, it can easily get inside and blow off pieces.”
>Even on a personal level, say a car lets me do a trip in 30 minutes instead of 2 hours walking. I don't relax for an hour and a half. I go check more things off my todo list.

This is why all the modern conviences that people adore, including myself, just makes our lives more cluttered and anxiety ridden.

Nothing is freeing up our time so that we can focus on self care, relaxation, valuable time with family. It just makes us more able to cram more stuff in. And the "to do list" is never ending. There's always yard work, house work, more constructive things your kids could be doing to get them ahead in life, maybe you could now afford some extra education to further your career, there's always just.. SOMETHING to fill in the new holes we now have.

It's not just businesses and profit motives.

and one day you look back at it all and often you find that 2 hour walk, was probably mentally and physically healthier for you. How many things in life are like this - where we've scarified our mental health, physical/nutritional health, our privacy, ownership rights, and other rights all in the name of a convenient technology that "simplifies" one problem for us while creating 10 more in it's wake? Then we're all convinced that this new, convenient thing is super valuable and can't be done without.

A lot of us jumped off the Java train in disgust at the height of the J2EE craze and never looked back, so fairly or unfairly we'll forever be judging everything Java by that tainted memory.
Rejection of climate change
Hospitals have been overwhelmed during bad flu seasons many times before 2019. We didn't use that as an excuse to impose mandates and restrictions on the rest of society. Omicron is so contagious that your odds of avoiding infection for the next 5 years are approximately zero. Fortunately the vaccines and other therapies we already have are quite effective at preventing deaths. The notion of acting based on the hope that something better might appear at some indefinite point in the future is just absurd.

While reinfections can occur (just as with any coronavirus), symptoms are typically mild. The number of deaths due to reinfections are so low as to be statistically irrelevant from a public policy standpoint.

This panel discussion by several leading physicians provides a good scientific overview of the current situation. It's long, but worth a listen.

> I would say Java the language is fine,

When I was using it I didn't particularly mind it except for the clumsy handling of functions (i.e. as objects instead of first-class citizens) and verbosity (no automatic accessors, implicit typing, etc). Adding Lombok solved most of these. *EDIT: Except for runtime type erasure of generics which caused (not sure about new Java) performance issues and made certain type operations difficult.

> but the culture around it is what's grown the distaste many have for it.

Having to debug esoteric issues with classpath, Spring, CDI, JPA, Aspect4j, etc. is hell on earth. I've lived that life and have no desire to do so again. Because Java is the lingua franca of enterprise development it also tends to rear its ugly head on modernization projects and rewrites. 80% of the abhorrently-engineered codebases I've encountered in my career were written in Java by body shops (C# and Coldfusion were the runners up).

> The overuse of design patterns, etc.

I'm not an adherent of the design pattern cargo cult but I'm one of four people under the age of 50 that have actually read the GoF book and I do indeed sometimes name objects after patterns described in the book; I typically design components and name them such after the fact as opposed to constructing systems from the ground up using design patterns. Calling a thing that persists comments in a database `CommentRepository` is a lot more useful than calling it `CommentHelper`.

I find Glycine is quite good at making me laugh my face off, I just swapped sugar for glycine. It helps break down Cortisol, a stress hormone, very quickly which is why I laugh so much, more so in stressful situations so you might come across as a bit of a nutter!
Yeah this is unfortunately true. The developer experience aspect needs a lot of work here. I don't disagree. But the assertion that you can't write bug free code is still false, regardless of the amount of effort it takes.
I think Excel users who click in a cell and type something that starts with = are using a domain-specific no-code tool.

By the time you're in the 0.03% (or less) who are using VBA, it's probably not a no-code solution anymore.
I'm not the OP, but personally I just can't see it, not on all roads and at a level that most people would consider "self driving". And as for fully self driving such that there are no manual controls, absolutely no chance.

I think self-driving cars are realistically only going to work in conjunction with other technologies embedded in roads, signs and other vehicles - and even then, it's still a massively challenging problem, with potentially dire consequences when things go l wrong.
My goodness Arctic, I don’t think those 2015 era talking points apply anymore. DNMs take monero. Bitcoin, you can buy many many things. And you mention the 4tx/sec thing, you know that payment channels were invented many years ago and are used by WHOLE COUNTRIES today right? We can argue over and over again. The world is changing, moving. We have lost faith in the system. We made our own system.
As a former alcoholic:

1. You need new friends. Sadly.
2. Having fun without alcohol is very very different. There's not much of that mad frantic whirl of everything, things are much more clear... it feels a lot like social media withdrawal.
3. My biggest challenge after quitting alcohol was finding new, healthier ways of emotional regulation. It's a lot of work, but worth it.
Try structured events and hobbies. Stuff like autocross, paintball, beekeeper association etc with other people. Or solitary things that depend on you, like gardening, growing mushrooms, or beekeeping.

> I didn't know that the silver and gold minted coins traded by Roman merchants were in fact not money, but commodities.

It was money in Roman times. Luckily we have moved on. It is no longer money, unless you're planning on trading with Marcus Aurelius. Gold was demonetized in the 30s.
Gold is not traded on its commodity value. Its been traded for thousands of years because it is durable and difficult to produce. People who believe in Bitcoin compromised some sheen to make those two most important attributes tenfold more potent.
I don't think the word productive ever reached my brain when I was learning websphere. Annotation driven servlets never felt exciting or clean (unlike the post closure / decorator era where you can write stuff clearly and rapidly).

There are more resilient solutions to this problem. Don't rely on unreliable software.
the sheer fact that we as a society now "binge" whole tv shows and that they're made to binge, should be a sign of this.

I get what you’re trying to say, but this doesn’t necessarily always apply.

For example, demand for some goods is fairly predictable, e.g. certain commodity foodstuff. A profit driven company selling these kinds of goods is focused on increasing their market share, but no matter what, the demand is there.

Compare this to something else like SUV sales, where demand exists that probably shouldn’t.

Yes, consumer sentiment drives/enables these companies, but the nature of that demand and the behavior it drives is certainly not all equal.
