3 strikes doesn't have to end in a life sentence - I think that is what was controversial, 3 felony convictions automatically resulting in a life sentence [1]. 3 train thefts and then you spend a week behind bars, or maybe compulsory rehab if the offender is an addict, is probably a reasonable deterrent. The present situation is drastically overreacting to older laws.

Bonus error: you can't have DNS packets >64k. Even over TCP. (Been there)

Someone has configured a delegation loop. (Yep, been there more than once)

All services wait for the same DNS record to be fetched and will all ask the same service at exactly the time when DNS is done. (Again, clear yes, happens. That's why you should use prefetch)

No one knows how to handle DNS SRV priority correctly (please correct me if I am wrong).
There is large variation in the affluence of third world countries. And there are large portions of US and large portions of the more affluent third world countries that are comparable in many ways (e.g. infrastructure) - in my experience, that is.
because it's too easy to make a competing data format of your own because resumes are relatively easy to model. So if you don't like something in the universal data format just spin up your own, with the features or the serialization you want, put it up as a Show HN and get some initial momentum.

It's not like making a data format for invoicing which even so has quite a large number of competing formats.

Could of went either way really, YAML is a superset of JSON, so in theory, you can switch between them at any time.

I think we wanted JSON at the time because it just relied on less extra packages when working inside of the JS ecosystem.

So yeah, if anyone wants to make a resume.yaml, we only need to add an extra step to convert it to json for them to use any of the tooling.
It is easy to do that though - set up a database. I've met one, maybe 2, people who don't use file systems the conventional way. They're rare and they generally just want a search index as opposed to relational data.

First is understanding marketing is many things, and shifts depending on product. Marketing skillsets for B2B products can shift relative to B2C, or skills change for speciality fields like finance or pharma vs FMCG.

Common fields of marketing include:

- Designers

- Advertisers

- Copywriters

- Analyst

- Social Media

- Product

- PR

- Events

- Affiliate

These can be further sub categorised also, plus I probably missed a couple.

So maybe having made it more confusing perhaps I would say the 2 key areas most people could learn about are 1) Analytics and 2) Copywriting.

For Analytics, this is the fundamental as its the results. If your running a business this lets you know what to look for and its meaning. Often staff and agencies will try to push the best results or a few blatantly lie. Having good knowledge of core analytics as well as direct access will give you a huge leg up vs most non-marketing types. The best way yo learn is probably just do and read blogs. I dont think any book/course will give amazing insight. I believe the 3 keys are to focus on the 1) The end point of 'what matters. Analytics options are huge and you can measure so much. Don't spend time on the journey, look for the key end result variable. You can also dig into the journey as you need to ad-hoc but so many people get distracted by the detail. 2) Monitor what your can change. Don't run weekly stats if said stats wont influence your decisions. As before there is so much data out there so focus on what will make you changes tactics or strategy and leave the rest for ad-hoc reviews or the guys working the detail. and 3) Look at trends not data points. Seeing where things are going is as important as the number itself. If something is on the rise you can choose to leave it as that area is being fixed or you can spot problems before they are below the threshold point type thing.

For Copywriting, this is the core art of marketing IMO. So many people jump to how the website/ads look but its best to start with what you want to say. Good copy is amazingly difficult and at the risk of offending HN, many technical personalities are horrid at content, especially for conversion activity. Engineer type personalities often go with the more good information you provide the better, and this is rarely the truth in marketing content. I would say for learning copywriting do 2 things, read "Ogilvy on Advertising" and look at ads of the companies known for great advertising, especially if its in your product category. Companies like Coke, VW, Guinness, De Beers, Apple etc

Anyway that would be my advice. If you have more specifics I can try to tailor it so.

My first Linux install was a big pile of 3.5" floppies downloaded over my (well, my parents) 9600 bps modem containing Slackware that I installed to a 486dx2-66 with 8 MB RAM. With that 8 MB I was even able to run Xfree86 and an xterm before it started swapping!

That was the time before PnP ISA and kernel modules, so to get the sound blaster card to work one had to specify the IRQ (and I/O port address?) in the kernel config and recompile the kernel. Good times!

> Why are people like you so damn negative about this and so deliberately intent in disrupting society when it's in such a state of stress? Why are so many of you so intent in trying to undermine and sabotage the rest of us when we're doing our darndest to try and protect ourselves from this cursed disease? You are forcing us to fight on two fronts and it's damn inconsiderate and selfish of you to do so.

Nothing but baseless accusations. I am not fighting against society, but against the tyranny of a mandate that makes no sense and can cause harm.
The decent counterargument is that your proposed system of law isn't one of law at all. It's arbitrary and capricious. It violates all recognized standards of due process.

Under your system, there is no way of knowing whether what you are doing is legal or not.

For example, how would you feel if tomorrow you were hauled to jail for incitement toward an ex post facto law? Ex post facto laws are widely recognized as being morally reprehensible. Surely you should have been on notice that it's illegal to push for one, right?
I think it’s worth noting that “database-centric” and “app-centric” notions of databases are both found in the wild. That’s how I remembered the difference between MySQL and PostgreSQL—MySQL was what happened when a bunch of app developers needed a database, and it was extremely popular e.g. with the PHP webdev crowd. If you needed to access the database, you went through the app. PostgreSQL is what happened when DBAs designed a database. If you needed access to the database, you connected to the database. A lot of other databases can be understood this way… like how MongoDB further shifts database concepts into the application.

(Honestly I’m definitely in your camp… if I need a database, design the database first, then write the code.)

So, when I see the ads with XML misspelled XLM like XLM and XSLT experience wanted - or similar stuff that happens every now and then - I should spin up a new CV and replace instances of XML with XLM?

on edit: before people come in with not wanting to work for a company that would make such a stupid mistake, first off I believe mistakes sometimes happen, and second Henry Thompson leader of the XML Schema working group, had the subtitle of his LinkedIn page saying something like he was an expert in XLM for at least a year (I should really have taken a screen shot) so I mean I think it would just as silly to not work someplace because they made a mistake as it would for them to screen you out for making a mistake.
I live in Alaska, famous for its mosquitoes as well as megafauna like bears, caribou, moose, wolves, migratory birds, fish, seals, whales etc.

I often wonder if those mosquitoes don’t fulfill some strange yet essential role in that beautiful ecosystem’s continuation.

Would love to hear that no, we can safely eliminate them and all the other cool and cuddly ones will be fine. But with my luck…

Most operating systems do have the ability to add key/value pairs to files via extended attributes, like xattr on Linux. That's been around for quite some time. I suppose it goes unused since it's not centrally indexed, and also gets left behind in most types of file transfers.

This is patently false. I spent several weeks in India for work in 2015, and while I saw many strange things on my trip, this was not one of them. I spent time in four big cities, and even took a drive through some rather rural and poor areas. One would think that if it were remotely common you would at least see it once over the course of a month and a half. Everywhere I went had adequate sanitation facilities, and I did take liberties in exploring the cities and their general surrounds, so it wasn’t like I was ensconced in a wealthy bubble. One of these cities was a ‘Tier 2 city) in a relatively poor state for India (below $1000 GDP per capita PPP), and if your claim is that this is apparently happening with ‘most’ people it’s very incorrect.

As someone who was born in Africa, I can assure you that the situation is _far_ worse… just to get a taste for the crazy stories (other than many parts of Africa commonly openly defecating on the street) look up Michael Komape if you don’t want to eat breakfast today.

The problem is is that in many poor and developing countries, there’s just a basic lack of service delivery. In many townships (slums) in South Africa, where I grew up, people walk and live in their own sewage as it runs down dirt roads, and it’s rather common to see a person relieving themselves into water just a couple meters away from where children play. They don’t have access to running or clean water, a toilet, electricity, or anything of the sort, which is unsurprisingly why diarrhoeal disease is the biggest killer of African children, beating out malaria and I suppose AIDS as well. When I travelled across Africa, it was clear that this situation more or less repeats itself. Toilets are also expensive (think up to a few hundred dollars) for someone living on less than a dollar a day and who can barely feed their families: effectively they are like the homeless of the west, as their ‘house’ is merely a corrugated tin shack that barely has enough space to fit two beds.

Coming from someone who has travelled across many dirt poor countries, I think India is far out of the ‘Africa’ bracket of countries (i.e a quasi failed state with mostly impoverished citizens and no service delivery), but it’s still very poor, which is visibly clear when you visit.

> Clearly, the crime rate is the result of a multi-faceted set of variables. Why press the "harsher punishment" button?

Because people are perceiving a higher rate of visible crimes within a reasonably short time after the "reduce punishment" button was pushed.

Of course, going back to the old ways without any real progress on anything else is going to put us back to the old problems. (Costs of incarceration are high, concerns about fairness, concerns about conditions, etc)

The point of adding a 10s delay on incorrect password attempts isn’t to make it impossible to brute force passwords, it’s to slow an attacker from 600 tries per minute down to 6/min. This is enough of a deterrence to make brute forcing impractical.

If you have to wait 7 days between train robberies instead of 24 hours, that’s a big hit to the business model. Maybe enough to make it impractical.

For what its worth, there were a lot of conversations this week around package security and compensation for open source projects among tech decision makers. Ultimately it wouldn't have happened if he had a generous sponsor and in that way I consider the act somewhat selfish. That said, I it both reaffirms that there is a vibrant community of individuals who are willing to volunteer their time for the benefit of the software ecosystem regardless of compensation, as well as a growing number of corporations who are understanding that open source projects deserve their patronage. Despite breaking some builds, it didn't break the internet but made for some good controversy. If nothing else, I think that makes this good art.
If someone robbed a train in Denmark would they go to jail? No one is saying we shouldn’t find ways to prevent people from committing crimes in the first place, but this experiment in california with having no consequences isn’t working, that’s pretty obvious.
This works in some cases, not all. Editboxes flicker if they have focus and are being resized. They also flicker when resized programmatically (e.g. when doing layout transition animations) and this is virtually impossible to eliminate, but that's a separate issue.

I don't actually think passwords are broken at all - I mostly used to see this from people pushing biometrics or hardware tokens (people selling stuff).

How we use them, is very much broken. What is the point of a password that a bit of social engineering can bypass? Why are passwords required to get info on my ice cream rewards? Shouldn't I just get a coupon instead?

You should only use passwords that mean something and they should not be resetable, otherwise you have something closer to a one time token with a replay attack. Forget the password? Tough luck. Either it should not have needed one, or it should have some tangible effect which causes the user to highly value forgetting or getting it stolen.

We have engineered a state where we can't remember passwords because we are actively encouraged to ignore them, passwords are fine, how and when we use them is not.
I agree that 3 strikes ending in a life sentence is excessive, but a week for 3 train thefts is absurdly short. Most of these cases will go unsolved. The expected reward for stealing from a train (or anything else) needs to be more than a few hours in jail. It's literally a well paying job to steal from a train for living at that rate.
I wonder if this can be emulated with for loop:

for(FILE *fp = fopen(path, "wb");
fp != NULL;
fclose(fp), fp = NULL) {
...
}
I think if you flip that thinking, there'd be people spreading the word that the prevention is minimal and the punishment not a serious deterrent. e.g., no one thinks "I wonder what happens if you're busted grabbing stuff out of a shipping container?" But if there's no punishment, word would spread fast. "Those guys have been doing it for weeks and no one cares. X got busted but they had to let him off light. They don't do anything about it!"
Thank you for stepping up and commenting on this.

The logical conclusion then would be that it is no longer economically viable to produce and sell the products on those trains, including things like EpiPens, so we simply would not have them.

If that's what we want, then that's the direction we're headed. Want to buy something for less than $1000? Too bad, it's not worth producing since it can be stolen with impunity.
That might slow them down. Though I doubt they are picking those locks. Pretty sure an angle grinder is a standard tool in arsenal of the criminals. They are not even that expensive. If they are two locks, two people can start cutting in parallel.
Mm, not really. There are lots of cases much more blurry and questionable then this one.

> So, you're saying that ad agencies are okay with just passively buying NxM pixels on somesite.com's homepage that is the same regardless of who is viewing them?

Yes, because that's exactly how TV advertising works, and ad agencies view TV advertising as much more effective than digital.

> If so, why is that business model so rare?

For this model to work, you need somebody to do the statistical real-world sampling for you, using surveys, experiments and all of the rest of the classical sociology tools.

Companies like Google and Facebook are very much against this because it shifts the balance of market power away from data collection (Google's strong suit) to neural third parties that do meatspace data science and data interpretation.
The Acorn A3010 was the only "home" computer, targeted at the non-educational market, that Acorn ever made. It is distinguished by being the only Acorn computer with green (not red or grey) function keys, and also by being the only Acorn computer to which Econet could not be fitted. And it had a TV-out.

At the time it was launched, 1992, the ARM2 processor inside it was considerably more powerful than workstations that could be bought for ten times the price. It was insanely powerful, but hamstrung by not having any form of graphics acceleration. (The CPU was so fast it was just assumed you'd do everything in the CPU.)

It's a shame, really. RISC OS running on ARM deserved to be the British standard of computing, but Acorn's failure in the US market meant they could not compete with the sheer PR power of the large American competition.

When I was a mod, my policy was to let the idiots speak and the downvotes answer. People should understand that the community is showing them the door, not the mods.

I drew the line at bad behaviour, which usually came in response to unpopular opinions. In other words, I left conservative comments and deleted angry personal attacks in response to them.

Some people did not get it. We had a biweekly "where are the mods" rant. They accused mods of siding with "the Nazis". By that they meant anyone who said anything a conservative person might agree with. Guilt by association.

This is how I learned the term concern trolling, which I understand as someone listening to your arguments in order to debate them. In other words, a debate. Some people were not having it.
