All of my Go packages are CalVer v0.year.increment because I'm just a lone developer, so nothing I release can be v1. To be an actual v1, there needs to be a team of people who are committed to keeping a package going indefinitely. I understand why people want to use v1, because it sounds cool and stable, but realistically if you are just releasing code on your own, it is not and cannot be v1.
I was thinking: what about just some different PC where you got ssh access. Yes this might not be accessible enough. So the next thing could be gitlab. They offer free private repos
It's not a "process" it's looking at logs to see if someone accessed X in a certain time frame. The words "forensic process" in this instance is used to make it appear there is something more involved going on.. if say there was 1 access to the data how will this "forensic process" play out tracing who accessed the data and whom they passed it on to - they don't know and have no "forensic process" to know.
never stop the hustle!
I think this would be a fair argument if the possibility of persistent side effects were acknowledged and clearly communicated. Right now, if you go to get a prescription for finasteride and ask your doctor whether you might have side effects that last years after discontinuing the drug, they will almost certainly say, no, that's not possible.

The "This page has been intentionally left blank." in the datasheet... what a beautiful & hilarious touch.
The Opulo / LumenPNP folks talked about this in their video on packaging their pick-and-place machine[1]. They mention that it takes a month to grow the packaging, so you'd need a mold for each unit of product you plan to ship in a month.

This video discusses the history and principles of classical analog computing and then says that analog computers have energy efficiency benefits over digital computers. This can give the incorrect impression that classical analog computers are more efficient than digital computers, which is absolutely not correct. It may be true that modern analog phase-change memory AI accelerators are more efficient than their digital counterparts, but this assertion should be distanced from the discussion of classical analog computers to not give the wrong impression.

> Due to our size, we don’t need any kind of backwards compatibility, we just update everything.

Then just use 0.y.z versions and be done with it?

If the library constantly changes and everybody expects that, then that seems fitting.

I like Go's major version handling very much. If it's backwards incompatible, it's basically a new library under the same name and development team.

In my opinion making major version updates so painful also incentivizes not making backwards incompatible changes in libraries, which results in the Go ecosystem being very stable overall (something I value a lot in my day-to-day).
> Video game skins become NFTs that you now "own" instead of just being in-game.

This use case actually doesn't make sense if you think about it. Items only make sense in the context of a game, and you trust the game makers to honor it. At that point, there's no incentive for them to actually allow you to port in/port out items.

Think about it this way: what good is the BFG from Unreal Tournament in Cooking Mama?

Even in related games, guns from Battlefield 2042 in say COD Vanguard?

Sounds pretty shit.
They are talking about being the pilot in command of an aircraft. The NOTAM says "A PERSON WHO IS A CITIZEN OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION ARE PROHIBITED FROM OPERATING TO, FROM, WITHIN, OR THROUGH U.S. TERRITORIAL AIRSPACE". This means they can fly as a passenger but they are not allowed to operate the aircraft unless they are given special permission by the FAA

That depends entirely on what they're logging and why.
I worked on a crypto-related project where we ended up just generating a strong password on the client during registration. Credential stuffing attacks are just too effective.

Nobody complained. I think it's a better solution than making the user come up with their own strong password with annoying special character rules when you can just generate one for them.

The interesting challenge was making it work well with all password managers though which often have mind-numbingly dumb heuristics about what could possibly be a password field. It's worth a blog post.
Being an industrial engineer, a suuply chain and logistics guy with a prdound interest in history, the Liberty ships are one of my favorite subjects. So many lessons to be learned from that!

Sorry, that word has turned out to be a touchstone. I meant it in the sense of "receiving a disproportionate share of public support". In this case, boosting their children scholastically then expecting (and getting) extra public money/support for their schooling.

It's great for a parent to boost their children. But to have benefitted from extra attention for their childsren due to what was essentially the parents' attributes, then complain when it's suggested public money could be allocated more evenly, is 'equality looking like persecution'.

Just read the OP to get a taste of it.
I just got home from a Meetup event and opened up hn to see this post. I had a great time meeting new people with common interests. I've tried Meetup in different cities and mileage varies. I didn't have such great luck in the US midwest, but it's definitely still alive and well.
Why is this post buried under 500 other posts that aren't nearly as popular?

Nope, special character for casual layperson is ! at the end of the password and when they have to change password they just make it !!

Flash was huge for playful things because it was extremely accessible.

Say what you want about the underlying tech, the authoring tools were easy for a kind (like me, at the time) to pick up and make animations with.

Is there an equivalent for Canvas?
Yeah I don't really have a problem with sending neo-nazis to the front to defend their country from invaders. Not quite sure why there's all this hand-wringing about a single battalion. I'm pretty sure almost every army has a disproportionate amount of far-right extremist. So long as they don't attempt a coup I don't see a problem.
> This means major version changes are a fairly regular occurrence. Some say that we should just stay on v0, and that’s a reasonable solution. The problem is these ARE production packages that are being used by a wide number of services. We want to Semver.

This is a lame problem. v0.Major.Minor-Patch. Done. Yes, semver includes an optional dash for a fourth parameter, and Go supports it.
> * Putting 10% ~ 20% of workers everywhere, including hospitals, out of commission for weeks at a time while they're acutely sick with Covid or infectious to others.

This one seems like a dubious point to me, services during the early-2020 lockdowns were much more impacted than they were during the Omicron spike which saw much less enforced lockdown but much more "shit, all our employees are sick" closures.

Completely agree with the hospitalization concerns, and I would add that the calculations also changed a lot re: protecting others after widespread vaccine availability.
I didn't watch the whole thing but is the ladder ever explained? I didn't understand why he's doing the video on a ladder. Is that part of the clickbait? You have to have a crazy face and be on a ladder, and that's how you make Youtube's algorithm happy?

At this point it seems like a vicious spiral. Someone clicks on a guy on a ladder and all of a sudden you're being recommended guys on ladders, so now everyone needs to get on a ladder to get on the front page.
Putin is old though so why would he care about what happens after he dies?
EVs are not for you at this point. Luckily most people do commute, and don't take weekly road trips.

This, this, and a hundred more times this.

Incompatible is incompatible.
There is no "kinda incompatible", "99% compatible" - when it comes to dependencies, they either work properly or they don't.

Software should be eternal. Without being strict about semantic versioning, it is impossible to make it so.

I hope that Accenture actually thought of this when they terminated the 2,000+ people they had in Russia a few days ago.
I wouldn't be surprised if when you look into it, that's propaganda. It's very similar to the defunding claims.
I read a post on Reddit's legal advice subreddit of a data scientist having their apartment robbed, and part of it was saying they'd lost all their code and currently working on projects.

As horrible as the robbery was, I was screaming inside "WHAT ABOUT VERSION CONTROL?!??!"
Nevertheless I suspect sqlite is used in Europe or parts of Asia without trouble.
While it is certainly correct to never enforce changing a password, I would argue that it is totally okay to expire it in certain scenarios.
When my company set up the Active Directory f.e. we put a LSA password filter[0] in place that checks against HIBP. The password policy was set to expire every 90 days, atleast 15 characters and dont enforce a history. The non existent history was clearly communicated and users are encouraged to just enter their existing password three times when it expires. That way there is only one place where the passwords are checked for leaks and they are already there in plain, so it is manageable and doesn't add that much attack surface.

What part of the parents' action equates to "should get all the public money"?

It's public money - meant for everybody. Ignoring that, whitewashing fairness as discrimination, is exactly my point.

Thank you for illustrating this sense of outrage perfectly.

>You can go further than that, there's never been a study proving that piracy is making companies lose money.

One empirical demonstration of piracy's impact on sales (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_infringement#Softwar...>):

>Will Wright said that Raid on Bungeling Bay sold 20,000 copies for the Commodore 64 in the US, but 800,000 cartridges for the Nintendo Famicom with a comparable installed base in Japan, "because it's a cartridge system [so] there's virtually no piracy".
His legacy
I have a generally darker outlook. Based on my experience, I don't share the notion that being 'good' in any meaningfully productive sense (technical, personal, organizational) leads to better career odds.

In my experience, a lack of spine, a sturdy gaslight, a talent for office politics, and and utter lack of care of the people beneath you is what's conducive to a successful career in management. The majority of managers I encountered had these attributes, and built successful careers on them, while ignoring real world concerns and frustrations to the point they literally had no idea what the people under them did exactly.

Conversely, the people that did care, that pushed back against unfair expectations, that did champion meaningful change were not as apt at playing office politics and often drew the short straw when a shakeup happened.

I could list numerous horrible archetypes, but the most common one I encountered was the Yes Man - when upper management comes up with a new idea, he nods eagerly and pushes it down the throats of the team members, ignoring their protests, and when the idea inevitably fails, he blames the team for not being enthusiastic enough. When his bosses move the deadline forward, he gives the thumbs up, then tells the team that they are going to have to work just that much harder.

His bosses love him since they feel that this guy 'gets' it, it's a joy to work with him, when other middle managers grumble at their ideas, he just jumps into action, this guy is a real go-getter, clearly has potential.
The fact that governments spend money on tents and 'temporary solutions' doesn't disprove my assertion that we refuse to build safe and stable housing for all our citizens.

It's quantitatively much different now.[0] There's been a crowd pushing the idea that the hospitalization numbers are highly misleading for two years now, and they're trying to claim that they were right all along based on numbers that are only happening after a year or vaccination campaigns and a less-lung-oriented strain emerging.

"About 7% of L.A. County’s total staffed ICU beds are taken up by COVID-19 patients, compared with 15% during the summer Delta wave and more than 50% last winter. "

"In early November — before Omicron swept around the world, and Delta was still dominant — 75% of coronavirus-positive patients countywide were in the hospital for COVID-related medical issues, Ferrer said.

By late December, the same was true for 45% of coronavirus-positive hospitalized patients, Ferrer estimated."

"During last winter’s COVID-19 surge, about 80% of coronavirus-positive patients in the emergency department at L.A. County-USC Medical Center were being admitted to the hospital, and nearly half of those went to the ICU, Spellberg said. Now, about a third of coronavirus-positive patients are admitted, and 20% to 25% are going to the ICU."

So much this! We are seeing artificially low costs because the hidden costs (environmental and health) are split onto the rest of the society.

We need to campaign to make these costs clear and keep companies accountable
"Information wants to be free. Information also wants to be expensive. Information wants to be free because it has become so cheap to distribute, copy, and recombine—too cheap to meter. It wants to be expensive because it can be immeasurably valuable to the recipient. That tension will not go away."

It's for fingerprinting
I kinda meant that as evidence for your assertion. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that.
I mean, they are well belowed by everyone because they resist Russia. Prior invasion, they were lower class nation looked down at. Which is partly what makes the what abouting about it all so transparently bad faith.

It come across more like attempt to make it impossible to be refugees from Ukraine anywhere then anything else. Because if EU does not take them, it means no surrounding country is taking them. There is nothing in between. And if more west countries don't take some, Poland, Slovakia, etc will break internally because they are not nearly as rich as these people make it be.

Same with "Russians are nice to them because they are white" stuff. All it amounts to is a wish for war against civilians to escalate faster. There is nothing more in it.

These two take together amount to "I wish genocide of Ukranians and closed borders around Ukraine".
Which is why I'm waiting for solid state batteries. Much wider temperature operating range.
> Neither retainer freelancers nor subscription services should be charging hourly; hourly is a consulting anti-pattern.

It's easy to say that but hard to avoid hourly. I say that as somebody who's read your threads and those of patio11 for a decade. I've run my 1-person business [1] for over 15 years and whilst I would like to break away to value pricing I'll still take money-for-time over fixed priced bids any time.

Why? Risk transfer. With fixed bid the risk and management of scope creep is on me. With hourly, on the client. And not having to micro-detail everything in the spec before it gets signed off to make sure no time sinks pop up is nice.

I don't know if the breakthrough I've never managed to escape time based billing is mindset, target audience, offering or location (UK), but I haven't made it happen.

Funny. Veritasium actually has some videos talking about why he has this approach :)

I saw something similar all the time as a dance teacher: explaining stuff and showing over and over made the students feel like they learned a lot. But they just didn't. It was mostly a total waste of time. I switched to showing ONCE then they had to try. Then I showed again. The speed of learning went up dramatically. The problem I had then was that the students didn't like it!

large crowds of people who do not take covid seriously, who socially disincentivize transmission precautions (e.g. sturgis) seem to spread covid.

on the other hand, large crowds that do take covid seriously, and socially encourage those precautions, appear to not spread covid as much.

I agree, there's no reason to lose that feature. Just add the footnotes at the bottom of the doc, no matter how long it is and make the number references clickable to toggle between them.

I'd even go as far as say Headers and Footers should be preserved but just included once at the very top and very bottom. Unless you toggle back to page mode and then everything just works. No data loss.

Seems like an easy improvement to make to pageless mode in the short term.

And haven't the police been funded enough? We've had police reform bill after police reform bill since the 90s LA Riots and possibly before and it always comes with more funding.

A very distinctive feature of Berkeley Mono seems to be the squared-circle used in the rounded characters, where Roboto has very circular characters. I'm sure there a lot more differences if I saw them side-by-side, but that's the most obvious one for this font snob.
It definitely depends on the project. There are plenty of domains where hashmaps are useless, and some where half the things you do need one, and many in between. The in-between is the worst - if you need a hashset/hashmap just once, you'd still have to suffer through implementing one (O(n^2) is just not acceptable). But there is a bright side to this - hashmaps are pretty inefficient if a list could do, so the more you're pushed against using one, the more likely you are to have faster code :) (as long as you don't go the O(n^2) route, that is; also, hashsets are equally hard to implement manually as hashmaps)

I can absolutely see that happening. I'm very interested in tracing this line of questioning back to a root cause because it likely has a systemic cause, and fixing it would have major implication in the way medicine is practiced and the treatments people receive.
Ask HN: How many cold emails do you get?
I'm in software sales and I have to send cold emails for a living. Given that I'm not typically on the receiving end of that type of outreach, I'm curious how often non-sales people are hit with it.

How often do you get cold emails? What's your public job title if you do? How often do you ignore them, respond negatively, or respond positively?
I come to a different conclusion.
As this situation has unfolded, we’ve seen waffling on important issues, such as Germany helping the Ukraine at all, blown promises, such as the planes that never got to the Ukraine, and weapons support that is too little too late.

I see the same Europe as always. Conflicted in direction, visionless in strategy, and slow in implementation.
"Quiet enjoyment" is a archaic legal term of art, arising (I believe) in law governing conveyances of real property. The Black's law dictionary on my desk defines "quiet" in this context as "Unmolested; tranquil; free from interference or disturbance." That is, it's not a condition imposed on the transferee ("if you do not enjoy the conveyed property quietly, I can make trouble for you").

The term causes enough confusion to be retired, but lawyers do love their stock phrases.
They were planned to be bad, but after a while they became rather good. The factory approach results in incremental improvements all around, including build quality. Many continued to work long after the war.
