What do you mean by "last time I looked at ANY trade, they are begging women to come WORK."? By looking at trades, do you mean look at a website claiming to want women to work in them? The PR/advertising spins on jobs don't always align with the working conditions driving anyone with standards or a family away. See how "essential" workers have been treated during the pandemic. If you listen to the radio, they are being begged to work. But that work is conditional on bad pay and conditions often.

Edit: I'm not trying to claim there aren't good trades, just that the "word on the block" about how easy it is to get a job doesn't always reflect reality.
its very hard to be become a good welder and it usually takes about a decade to master that craft, so 10 years gone. Very similar to medical school except you are making money during that decade instead of paying it to schools and residency.
If you're going to copypaste a statement saying you doubt it had a direct pharmacological effect on a post about a direct pharmacological effect, why not state what you think the issue with the study was?
I play a lot of games and I've never had any issues not having UPnP. They got used to working around it. Probably with centralised servers. I never liked the P2P model anyway, dedicated servers are more fun because you can influence the gamemode, add mods etc.

For torrents I don't know... If I were to torrent I would not do it without VPN anyhow.

When I first started following HN, I remarked to my spouse: "On the east coast, you're nobody if you're not rich. On the west coast, you're nobody if you're not trying to get rich."
That principle is not specific to a DSL, so that hardly seems like a reason to avoid a DSL.
"... I was worried it would be doing something uncouth like asking for your HN password or scraping some kind of unofficial API, but instead it gives you a token to embed in your public profile ..."

I have a side project I've been kicking around for a while that required some kind of reputation/login/accountability function and this was exactly what I considered doing: giving people a token to put into a public HN profile.

So anyway, great job Victor!
US can print their own money. AAPL can't.
It's like if you moved money from credit card to a checking account.
You are not going get any richer from that. Just the opposite.
Might you or anyone else have any good links or references that helped you come up to speed on generics in Go?
If you're accused but innocent and provide a good case for your innocence, but a juror provides a crying testimony that no one believed them in the jury room, leading to you being sentenced, you'd probably think differently.

Sure, we can't get a perfectly impartial jury. But someone with a past trauma probably won't be able to judge the case for its merits.
> Russia invaded and annexed Crimea

Russia invaded Crimea back when British red coats were stationed in New York City. The Russian military has been there ever since.

When did the US invade the Guantanamo section of Cuba?
Good if they actually went where the data led them.

Sigmund Freud famously changed his mind at some point: he had so many young female patients with stories of sexual abuse that he decided it must be a rather common fetish among young girls to make up these stories. He just couldn't believe that a third or so of Vienna's upper crust would rape their daughters.
A foreign country joining an alliance could be an act of aggression only if you believe that that foreign country is yours, and shouldn't have the freedom to decide its associations or the way it secures itself. The Russians are talking about "spheres of influence", which is an entirely imperialistic concept, and demand to have their's respected, which is imperialistic behavior.
Hey thanks -- I will definitely be sending you an email soon!
And historically houses have always been hovering around the same 20x multiplier for desirable places, except for a few small blips like the postwar boom.

And of course stuff like the American westward expansion, because land was dirt cheap as were materials (everything was forested so you just had to start chopping, more or less).
Weren't you aware? learning is #SeriousBusiness, no fun allowed.
Well , one thing to consider is who more likely need to stay in urban area. I think it is required more for college educated compared to tradespeople.
It is pretty mind-boggling. Makes the average turbofan's turbine assembly look like child's play, and those are also pretty ridiculous in terms of power-to-weight ratio.
But its still a cost you have to pay for somehow, and since you are, hopefully, going to classes, studying, and doing homework, you are largely preventing from having a job lucrative enough to pay for those things completely.
While you're technically correct in that the age of colonialism is over, I'm not so sure if the US covertly and overtly overthrowing governments they don't like is much better than the plain and simple invasion Russia executed in Ukraine.

Either would be worse for the victims if Russia did it, but I'd much rather "just" become American or Russian than have foreign sponsors set up religious extremists to stage a rebellion and overthrow the government.
We have grown to depend on automobiles for modern life and the economy to function. People can function with kids in masks and home learning, just about. Their quality of life compared to my childhood/teen years is trash though. Additionally society cannot live with hospitals operating at reduced capacity because of COVID overflow. I mean, that alone is reason for managing the risk aggressively.
> if both coal and nuclear are down, can we say that nuclear replaced coal, or did coal only replace nuclear?

IMHO it depends on the purpose of the decrease. If it's about green energy, then removing the nuclear while keeping the coal is a wrong choice (see links above), and the remaining coal was chosen to be kept instead of the remaining nuclear. I would call it "coal replaced nuclear". You may have a different opinion on the semantics. It doesn't matter much. What matters is the wrong choice which led to unnecessary CO2 and radiation in the air (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal#Damage_to_human_health).

> Nuclear is so green, the japanese people will shell out $200B for the cleanup of the mess. So much for that argument.

There is a difference between an anecdote and reliable statistics.
Only if you never decode it from base64. :)
Admittedly I don't have many alternates to compare to, but it's wonderful. It's essentially the best parts of Rails MVC (M and C), which gives just enough out of the box (ActiveStorage for attachment management, ActiveJob for background jobs, ActiveRecord for ORM, ActionMailer for emails) to allow developers to focus on writing business logic without getting bogged down with some of the lower level implementation details, while also remaining flexible. Excellent framework coupled with a beautiful language (ruby).
I don't think GP is trying to bash the US: they're just pointing out it's "the oldest trick in the book." Obviously that doesn't mean it's OK that Russia is doing it.
Absolutely agreed, that was awesome.

> how we promised Russia we wouldnt do an eastward expansion of nato

This purported promise is a myth, see my comments here [1]. (TL; DR No treaty or public comments. Russia, on the other hand, signed a treaty promising not to invade Ukraine when she denuclearised. Talk of broken promises is a red herring.)

Russia has a realpolitik interest in creating buffer nations between it and the West. What it's doing--invading Crimea and now threatening to take the rest--doesn't further that goal. It does, however, serve Putin's political agenda.

To be honest, I don't even see myself as a junior but more of an entry level, because there are junior openings that assume some experience. My only experience comes from personal projects and github contributions.
This is why the GP linked a source with the national average for college graduates and non-grads. Certainly there are tradespeople who make a ton of money, but usually they make less than degree holders.

For what it's worth, I lost 2 weeks of my life to Metroid Dread on the Nintendo Switch. It's a 2D side scrolling action/adventure/platforming game that I enjoyed and not once did I have to deal with pay mechanics. Two years ago I played Breath of Wild (Zelda game) and again did not deal with pay mechanics.

There are plenty brand new AAA games and were of great fun to me!
Thank you. Now I finally get it. That hyphen makes a big difference.
Mearsheimer doesn’t even recognize the sovereignty of Ukraine, it’s realist vs liberal schools of thought (with realism having been sidelined for decades in the west).

There’s a Foreign Affairs article version instead of the hour long random YouTube lecture version: https://www.mearsheimer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Why-t...

In a nutshell of what it’s like:
One also hears the claim that Ukraine has the right to determine whom it wants to ally with and the Russians have no right to prevent Kiev from joining the West. This is a dangerous way for Ukraine to think about its foreign policy choices. The sad truth is that might often makes right when great-power politics are at play. Abstract rights such as self-determination are largely meaningless when powerful states get into brawls with weaker states. … Even if one rejects this analysis, however, and believes that Ukraine has the right to petition to join the EU and NATO, the fact remains that the United States and its European allies have the right to reject these requests.

Guy did argue for Ukraine to keep nukes in the 90s though, it’s just a much more mechanistic type of thinking.
The problem is that at that point the USA, Canada, France, Italy would be obligated to defend Russia if it was attacked by sending in its forces. This is already the problem we face in the Baltic States. In theory you can say you will go to war if Estonia is attacked. But if you are Italy or Canada how popular is a war in Estonia going to be if your citizens are dying? There would be a lot of pressure to pull out.

Once the guarantee of NATO becomes a maybe then you start having a lot of incentives for the members to make their own agreements that they can depend on. Then you would be back to regional alliances and from there rivalries. Germany's security agreement partners may not agree with Turkey's security agreement partners about what to do in Syria. Part of what made NATO work was the common interest and values of the members. As you spread it you loose that cohesion.
Ok, but please don't post unsubstantive comments here. Especially not dyspeptic ones. It makes for worse discussion.
This sounds like the system design round at many companies.
alot of engineers(and other tech employees) are forced out of the field due to ageism by 45-50 so its a wash.
I wouldn't trust Orca's word. They're pretty shady and have implemented some questionable tactics in the past to get customers/vendors.

> it also had online dating.

In Brazil (São Paulo) we had a similar, Minitel-based, system. No online dating, but I met my first wife in a chatroom. It also had banking and you could transfer money to different banks with it. Initially I got an MSX computer with a modem (at that time the telco rented out the computer instead of a dedicated terminal for a ridiculously low fee), which was also useful for connecting to local BBSs.

Later on I gave the MSX back (should never have done that - it was an unremarkable computer, but a pretty good videogame) and added a V.23 modem to my Apple II+ clone. The system continued to evolve, started accepting 1200 and 2400 bps inbound connections (which made it more accessible, because V.23 modems were not easy to come by). Last time I used it was with Windows 95 and its terminal software.

Legend says the system ran on Multics on a Honeywell-Bull mainframe, making me an actual Multics user.
Speaking as an introvert, introverts need networks too. Build a network - skip to the front of the line. Or better yet, get a job specifically made for you. Otherwise get into the funnel like everyone else.
Without defending russia: the same argument does apply for selected parts of ukraine that still have not been yet annexed by russia.

I wonder how long it will take for russia to get tired of subsidizing crimea and they will beg to go back to the ukraine.
Maybe it's just your social circle. Nobody likes university in mine - and in the last 15 years no company I worked in required a degree. I met a few CTOs (in real companies, not startup "CTOs" with 3 engineers) without degrees.

I took my degree in CS while I was working (lots of sleepless nights and ill prepared exams) and just because I didn't want to preclude myself from the opportunity of working for some big company with antiquated requirements.

Hey Hacker News,

Here's a tool I've been working on for the last few months, that ought to now be polished enough to release. It lets you issue mouse clicks with gentle mouth sounds.

If you have some RSI coming on, it's best to stop it early - but if a tool is even slightly frustrating, you're going to gravitate back to the mouse. So, the goal is to be extremely smooth and robust. "It's better than not being able to use a mouse at all" is nowhere near good enough; the bar Clickitongue is trying to clear is "an expert user doesn't feel inconvenienced at all vs using their fingers". And I think it clears that bar! (Let's hope I'm not jinxing things too badly here lol)

So, if you or anyone you know gets wrist pain, or has anything more serious impeding use of their fingers, I really hope this can help! I'll be happy to answer any questions, and investigate any problems.

(Linux (both X and Wayland), Windows, and OSX are all supported).

"Lax" depends on what your code is doing.

If it's protecting nuclear secrets or the personal information of hundreds of millions of people (as in the case of Apple), then yes, deploying Linux is absolutely being lax with security. The kernel itself has had thousands of security vulnerabilities, with userspace on top adding tens of thousands more.

If you're writing software for your smartwatch, then maybe Linux (or node/apache, which are built to lesser quality standards) is OK.
IMO affordable consoles (SNES / Mario / early 90s) and App Stores (Farmville / mid-2000s) mark the beginning and end.

Console exclusives drive console adoption, which incentivizes better games.

App Stores undermine the console market, and simplify micro-transactions.
Plenty of games without pay-to-play. Here are my favorites:

Indies: Celeste, Hob, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Factorio, Tesla vs Lovecraft

AAA: Returnal, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima, Civilization, Nier: Automata

Just don't play anything from Ubisoft.
They should also get a royalty on cameras, because someone might take a photo of copyrighted cover art. Oh, and also a royalty on pens and paper, because someone might use them to write down copyrighted lyrics
But don't they have the right of self-determination if they want to join Russia?
Not to this meeting. This meeting is the circus act where the government subtly (or sometimes not so subtly) tells them they are really worried about security and they are thinking about enacting draconian laws where they are basically responsible each time a user get phished, and where they have to pay hefty fines to the government each time there's a data leaks. Then there's the meetings that are not advertised where they ask them to make the devices less secure so that the government can spy on everyone. This has been going on for more than five years already.

Of course the consequences of this are that everyone that has any power to decide anything on any of this companies treats the federal government as bunch of senile deranged lunatics so the only possible way to work with them is try to make them feel they are still relevant and not upset them.
Ask HN: How vulnerable are edge servers wrt security
I'm working on a project that uses Java microservices.

The project has an "edge server", except it does more than that. The ES will forward requests to downstream servers, as well as handle some of the requests itself. In order to handle those requests, it has access to an in-network database.

I had a concern that since the ES is accessible from the outside world, it was problematic that it had database credentials, but I don't know how founded that is. There IS an LB in front of the ES, so only https/443 traffic is allowed.

Client -> LB -> ES -> Internal Server

My thinking was that since vulnerabilities like log4shell exist, which can go through 443, we should try to take out the DB creds from the ES and move all those operations into another internal service.

Does anyone have any insights into the topic?
I'm really surprised by the discussion here. It's so obviously true and I realized this when correct php function to escape string for sql was names mysql_real_escape_string
In the case of venmo (and many other of their customers), it was actually Plaid that was asking for your bank login credentials to connect your bank account to Venmo. They've been getting criticism regularly for that, unsurprisingly.
No argument that they have the experience and knowledge within their organizations. I think OP was expressing doubt that "execs" will be informed enough to deliver actionable insights.
Developmentally caused PTSD and shell-shock/war/later event PTSD have some differences.

For instance, those of us with developmentally-caused trauma often view every person as a threat, because we were abused by our caregivers. (In my case, my mother.) This is because we need our abusers to survive, so we're used to abuse being a necessary part of life and something that can happen at any time/during mundane interactions. We don't feel like anyone is safe. The only person my nervous system trusts is my baby sister. Trying to get me to recognize you as safe isn't going to work, because nobody is safe to me.

I realize that not everybody is a danger and my feelings are the result of my failing the parental lottery and not a commentary on every person I meet, which means it's my responsibility/job to retrain/calibrate my 'who is safe' sensors. It just takes practice and some patience sometimes.

People refusing to interact with me because they have different genitals than me isn't going to help, especially when most of my hobbies are male-dominated. It just conveys 'Ha, you're not a proper girl, so you don't deserve friends. Go learn to like clothes and boys if you want to hang out with people'.

Now, if you've been burned in the past by people using their mental illnesses to blame you for not understanding social cues, or had that used against you in the past, and you don't feel comfortable in mixed-sex interactions, that's fine, but that's a need of YOURS, not the women.
Die Siedler. (The Settlers).
Thank you very much for sharing this. Me too. Like yours, mine occurred early. Like you, I was exposed to my abuser many times afterward.

As a boy, I carried my shame in silence, and learned early to dislike and avoid extended family gatherings, masking my avoidance in a blanket of "family sucks/is boring" cynicism.

As an early teen entering puberty, I grew increasingly disturbed about had happened. I tried to force the feelings away, almost ritually, but grew increasingly mired in confusion about what was wrong with me. Why did I (despite the fact that I was but 5-6 years old at the time) not take action? Did this mean I enjoyed being abused? Did this mean it wasn't abuse? Did the fact that I didn't stop the abuser mean I was not heterosexual? I began bombarding myself with pornography, almost as a salve against the uncertainty and doubt about who I was.

It wasn't until nearly 40 - and in the context of therapy to try to prevent the most important relationships of my life from falling further apart - that I had even considered the fact that I'd survived abuse. I felt ashamed to even think about accepting that statement, as I knew many others had suffered so much more serious forms of long-term abuse.

Only now have I come to marginally accept that decades of suffering internalized shame, fear, pain and mistrust deserve to be called survival.

I now have children who I love with all my heart. I cannot fathom inflicting such suffering upon them - or anyone else, for that matter. I will never be able to entrust them to the care of close family or friends. It's a constant internal struggle when they ask about sleepovers with friends. Such trivial things as "going over to someone's house" trigger immense uncertainty and fear, which I do my best to not burden my children with. I don't know if I will ever truly be able to shed the thick cloak of cynicism - largely a defense mechanism - that has and continues to impede my ability to relate meaningfully to the world and the people around me.

I hope I can - and I hope that awareness grows, so that other people aren't exposed to a similar experience.
How come none of the top comment threads talk about what a complete joke university education is currently due to ridiculous corona restrictions?

Everyone is vaccinated, everyone is boosted, everyone wears their little masks, and they're still going remote, quarantining, and forbidding students from doing pretty much anything except sit in their dorms and watch remote teaching material.

Is it any wonder that a lot of students walk away? Everything that makes college fun is forbidden. Why the hell would you put up with that? If I want to sit in my room, not party, and watch education videos all day, why would I pay $50k for the privilege?

This is bullshit, and students aren't idiots, which is why a lot of them are dropping out and postponing their education until universities get their shit together.
