In Barcelona many "stolen" bikes are actually the council taking them because you are not allowed to park bikes against sign posts.
You can get them back. Unless you have one of these bikes.
Pity the folk that loose their keys. Some times a crap lock is useful as a deterrent but you don't want to make it hard to get your own bike unlocked by people authorised to do so, including yourself.
Cool idea t'ho if your only problem is lazy thieves riding off with your bike.

This post is one of a long line of my "more security is not _necessarily_ better security" posts.
While true, it's important to ensure there is adequate test coverage before trying to refactor, in case you miss something.

Also, try to avoid small commits / changes; churn in code should be avoided, especially in kernel code. IIRC the Linux project and a lot of open source projects do not accept 'refactoring' pull requests, among other things for this exact reason.

Leds in a phone or tablet screen are directing the light to your eyes, where with a backlit screen, that light is diffused over the area of the screen. So the intensity of direct light from "LE-eReaders" is probably way higher than that of a backlit screen.

Also, it might have to see with the level of blue light that is emitted by those devices. Light in backlit screens is somewhat filtered and might not contain as much blue.

Ask HN: How do you handle being assigned Ops tasks knowing you joined to do Dev?
Title is pretty much it. I joined Oracle a few months ago after applying to a dev position. As soon I joined, I was assigned Operations work which to be honest is not what I was hoping for. I was wondering if anyone else in the HN community experienced something like this before? Is this common in bigger companies where it's more "Closing Jira Tickets" than actual coding work? Is this gonna paint me as an Ops person from now on?
I started seriously thinking about quitting and looking elsewhere.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Oh makes sense.

Just a few days back, when an greybeard I followed on Twitter announced that he set up a TikTok account for his investing blog, I came to this sudden realisation: everything has become Pinterest. I joked to him about how he was an e-boy now.

By which I mean I've noticed that a large percentage of sites are converging to a a very similar aesthetic and demographic. Let me call this the "Zoomer Influencer Aesthetic". Lots of buttons all over the place, popups to subscribe, garbage at the top, etc. You have to sign into many of these sites, of course, because all about harvesting those eyeballs, baby.

If you go back 10 years or so, it was a lot about content. You had something to say. Now it's a case that YOU are the content. It's all about you, how great your life is, how you're an "influencer", how you feel. When I first opened up TikTok, there was a category on unboxings, together with a bunch of beautiful boys and girls doing whatever vapid thing beautiful boys and girls do when they have nothing to teach or insights to impart.

We should probably blame YouTube. Ryan Higa, James Jackson and Felix Kjellberg possibly ignited a match. The young ladies have jumped on board, too. I dare say that most of them are doing 10X better than most man could do.

I do a bit of (mostly technical) blogging. I became fed up with Wordpress the other day, feeling it was too bloated. I had a hunt around for something that might be a suitable alternative. I had heard that Tumblr was picking up in popularity again, so I decided to give it a looksee to see if it was suitable. The answer was "no". Posts aren't dated (damn your teeth!), they seemed unsuitable for technical discussion, and they had that "Pinterest" feel to it. I quickly ruled it out. There were a few other sites I investigated, but figured they weren't all that great. Too much navigation and baloney. I'm looking for something simple.

Anyway, that's all for now. Now get off my lawn!
I've seen thousands funneled to ableton this way.
> It seems that 13k civilians were killed directly by the US and its allies (around 300 for Russia at this moment)

According to UN, Russian actions costed 1207 civilians their life, not 300.
I've started working on this, too.

I first kicked myself into it by starting the Discworld series of books. Pratchett is a great author (imo), the text has a certain kind of easy charm, I don't need to go in sequential order, the books are cheap to buy, and none are terribly long or dense.

I've also added some longer, more serious stuff to my reading list and bookshelf, but those are things I'll get to in time. I try to make myself read 100 pages per week, and if I don't like doing that with a certain book, I'll pick up another one. I can manage that at a leisurely pace in 2 to 3 hours on a weekend, or grab 20 pages a few times per week.
My experience as well with embedded rust, in two areas: Async, and typestates. Typestates are popular in OSS embedded rust. The idea is that the compiler catches errors, and your program is safer. In practice, it leads to verbose type signatures, and inflexibility. I think the reasons for this are both the idealism you mentioned, and being used to build infrastructure, without applying to practical problems. (ie, the examples you'll see for these libs are "hello world" style, for a given peripheral.
I understand how you're invoking the idea of a double-edged sword. I just don't usually hear it in a context where the alternative is living in dystopia.

> The question is only, how do we make sure the truth is more widely known than the lies?

Listen to alternative perspectives. Engage with ideas you don't agree with. Be aware of your biases, and other peoples' biases. Defend your perspectives using reason and evidence, not emotion or moral values (note: reason and evidence are the only things we can somewhat objectively agree on; though we still have to be aware of people doing shady stuff with studies and using statistics to misrepresent real-world phenomena).

The trend I'm starting to see is that a lot of disconnects stem from ignorance.
Ignoring a country’s sovereignty and attacking them is also “rules for thee and not for me.”

I briefly talk about noise reduction in the "Getting Accurate Results" section: https://en.algorithmica.org/hpc/profiling/noise/

I don't follow my own advice in much of the rest of the book, though (because I mostly focus on at least double-digit performance improvements).
From a marxist perspective tipping is a scam in order to get cheaper labor. The employer underpays the worker and imposes an extra tax on the customer to fill the gap. This way the employer offsets their risk onto the worker when business is low while still keeping high profits when business is good.

If tipping is a form of a corruption, it is the boss—which neither gives nor receives the tip—who is the corrupt one.
It is being shared for clicks, aka money, regardless of the belief.

I briefly interned for Sherrod Brown (D-OH) when he was a congressman. His political positions were not always mine, but I found him honest and competent. I think he's done good work, at least within the constraints of what's possible in a deadlocked legislative system.
Elsewhere I would agree with you but this study was using:

"The randomized, crossover protocol design consisted of two conditions: (i) reading an LE-eBook (iPad; Apple Inc., Cupertino, CA) in otherwise very dim room light for ∼4 h before bedtime for five consecutive evenings, and (ii) reading printed books in the same very dim room light for ∼4 h before bedtime for five consecutive evenings"

In other words, they compared using a tablet to reading a book. Unsurprisingly, they found that using the tablet negatively affects sleep.

I'd prefer a draft for new politicians that can settle differences without any kind of war
They completely lost the 2019 elections, elected a Jew who speak a better Russian than Ukrainian and passed laws to protect Russian in schools. Yeah, he did grew the army and made a big rotation in the Donbass with active military exercises 9n the frontline, but tbh the Russian aggression just validated him.

You're describing the complexity of achieving the outcome. That is a great achievement - you spent months of work to achieve something technically complex. Congratulations, sincerely. However, to the end user, Lunar is a utility that controls screen brightness. I too am not surprised that many people are reluctant to pay a yearly subscription to control the brightness of their display.
These sorts of polls are worthless because it depends on one's perception of the difference between "skilled" and "moderately skilled".
Small sample, but my dining experience is typically equivalent between Europe and the US (when comparing like-to-like for restaurant quality). The biggest difference seems to be chain dining in the US, where you get the phony "how you doing?" every 5 minutes, which I find annoying. Maybe some people consider this good service? I'd prefer to be left alone until I'm obviously in need of something (glass almost empty, offer me a refill, no need to ask when the glass is 70% full, etc).
Mostly that. The theory is that using the definite article implies Ukraine is part of some larger region, which is a highly charged political statement. This Wikipedia article has more details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_Ukraine#English_defini....
The quote was:

> rules that demand to always provide both sides perspective

This regulation does not satisfy the "always" part of the quoted description. In fact the regulation does not even reach the standards of "most of the time" or "often." If the description had been, "in certain rare cases," then this regulation would have satisfied it, but then the whole comment would have made no sense w.r.t. the banning of RT.
iPad on maximum brightness is what they were using. They sure buried it!

That would be close to painful and certainly very unpleasant in a dim room at night.. WTH were the study authors thinking?

The iPad won't even do that without the user manually setting it up to do that, and almost no one is going to find it comfortable.

It seems more like they were trying to set the conditions to get the result they desired. They could have shined an LED flashlight into the user's eyes and gotten the same result.
Who collected those statistics and how closely connected are they with the state?

Superman is a vigilante and doesn’t appear to investigate the background, instead he merely acts. Write ups of his exploits ignore side effects (e.g. jumping into a pressurized plane in flight will rain debris down on innocent people below — not to mention kill all the passengers).

You missed a nice feature absent in Windows afaik, which is that the last state of the window is remembered and recalled by hitting the green button a second time.
I think most of us would prefer that.

Unfortunately the US has a tipping culture enshrined in law. So businesses can legally pay their employees who may potentially receive tips far below minimum wage.
I’m sure someone would have called out the US’s second largest employer if it were illegal.

Just to be clear - we have to pay the employer side.
As much as I agree, I also wonder if we can switch to sustainable energy sources fast enough. Efficiency of training and inference may be able to make at least a small saving here and thus gain valuable time.

No a state derives its power from capacity for and willingness to use violence. The state is whatever group has the most of that in a given area. The population can obviously be a threat to a state, but it's ridiculous to expect people to risk their life to stop a state just because they happened to be born in its territory.
They wrote this in two months? In assembly? Impressive! I wonder if they used code generators or wrote plain assembly?

No, please, do tell. Does a different stance make you fascist? Or does it make you pro-Putin? Or are you about to accuse me of being paid for taking a different stance?

You've already called me "fcking piece of sht garbage of a human" in a different thread. Ironic.
Given that the author doesn't use the word anywhere else (apart from the title of the book that shares this article's title) I suspect the author is fully aware of this.

Might be worth pointing out the word politics is, for many, a pejorative. In that worldview, this statement is more akin to "Good thievery" or "Good fraud" in which the implication is obvious that it is describing ways of being better at that act, not that you are working towards any moral aims.

But yes, the word "Good" is clearly intended as poetic counterpoint to the "Bad" in behaviour.
Yet another piece that chooses the KPI by ignoring the existence of the individual. It’s essentially human resources management theory where units of human are fungible.

All this machiavellian stuff is definitely effective for people in power.

I hoped that people would notice that in the Game of Thrones all that clever politics and noble fights were irrelevant to the people who don’t have aspirations of governing other people. If you are aspiring to uncover the secrets of the universe, if you have talent for music or maybe you just want a simple life - that is still irrelevant unless you can structure your output to feed into the power of a person who holds a title. Why? Because in the eyes of these sociopaths you are a unit of HR management and nothing more.

Unfortunately, an awful lot of people are fascinated with the throne games and are willing to give their lives for it.

For example, according to these people Putin is right because EU and NATO were expanding and Putin had to invade. Actual human beings dreaming to join a society with low corruption and big prospects(In contrast to Russian sphere of influence) is irrelevant for them, they will tell you that Ukrainians should have remained a buffer. Go you live your life as buffer.

This is the first Russian site I’ve been to where the chrome translations are really poor - seemingly it is filled with colloquialisms/etc.

From what I can tell the users are not at all fans of the sanctions, think they will not motivate the general population, and expect many us business to sell to intermediaries who will sell to Russia.

It may be the translations, but it reminds me of political forums where the article is about x, but the top comment is about other hot political topic y.

But also this comment is at the top of a thread of Russia’s self imposed sanctions:

>The government hammers a new nail into the coffin of the Russian economy every day.

GCC has recently introduced a mode (-ftrivial-auto-var-init) that will zero initialize all automatic variables by default while still treating them as UB for sanitize/warning purposes.

The issue is with dynamic memory allocation as that would be the responsibility of the allocator (and of course the kernel uses custom allocators).
Looks informative, thanks.
I've never had a breakaway bike, but judging from photos the Ritchey couplings look a lot sturdier than these hinges.

It's probably still ridable because the top tube is rigid, and for a bike that's mainly geared at convenience stiffness isn't a priority anyway.
Not by not tipping the server who can legally be paid less than minimum wage by their employers.

Not OP, but please do try to influence this policy if you can:

1. The commit message [1] does not mention any security implication. This is reasonable, because the patch is usually released to the public earlier and it makes sense to do some obfuscation, to deter patch-gappers. But note that this approach is not a controversy-free one.

2. But there is also no security announcement in stable release notes or any similar stuff. I don't know how to provide evidence of "something simply does not exist".

3. Check the timeline in the blog post. The bug being fixed in stable release (5.6.11 on 2022-02-23) marks the end of upstream's handling of this bug. Max then had to send the bug details to linux-distros list to kick off (another separate process) distro maintainers' response. If what you are maintaining is not a distro, good luck.

Is this wrong-sounding enough?

I wonder how many university algorithms engineers would run into a similar situation with. I'm not very far out of university, so I have an unfair advantage, but take some engineers with at least 10 year experience and have them implement Dijkstra's by memory. Not saying this is necessarily a bad thing. If you're in industry for years, you have gained a lot more applicable knowledge to your work, kind of like how runners have a different kind of strength and muscle than weight lifers - they both meet their needs.

That said, I'm surprised at 90% overflowing code. Is it all in that midpoint calculation?

>> They get to pay back their loans with cheaper dollars

but they also have to pay for energy, food and automobiles, all of which is going up much faster than the average person's salary.

imo, the first area that is going to take a hit is in consumer discretionary spending - people will hold onto their tv's, smartphones, computers and a lot of other things longer than usual, because the things they have to buy (food, energy etc) are all going up dramatically. An awful lot of people live paycheck-to-paycheck and spend at least 100% of everything that comes in each month. Where my spouse works, 2/3's of the employees are in a panic if their paycheck is a single day late; they just don't have a cushion to fallback on.

Consumers cutting back on the 'extras' will be the first domino to fall.
