It’s just bad practice having accounts scattered through bunches of systems that shouldn’t be used anymore.

It’s often a licensing issue, and definitely a security issue.

Either you maintain this manually - proper time consuming chore at larger companies with many systems and applications.

Or write automations to manage it. Better, but still a lot of work and not always technically possible.

Or you hook as many of these systems as possible up to an SSO solution backed by some kind of identity provider.

This grants many benefits for everyone during the lifecycle of systems and its users - sysadmins, it-support, infosec but perhaps most of all the end-users.

As a manager myself I first and foremost think about how the on-boarding works: is it smooth, and are new hires gaining access to the systems they need without 15 calls to the service desk.
No, they actually won't, at least not remotely as often.

Have you ever heard of a system like this that systematically measures window tints and then tickets every single offender? No, of course you haven't.

That's a cool anecdote, he seems like a very resilient character from that era.

I'm very surprised he hasn't been canceled[0] though, considering he had many relationships that would not pass the #metoo test and literally used the N-word in his songs.

[0] Not that I would necessarily wish that on him, it's just that him having a career is fascinating in the same sense a dinosaur who somehow survived an extinction event would be.
this is AMAZING! It has really great detail for RMNP.

I wish it had lighting. The weather.gov lat/lon graphs has it I wonder if that is a free source or something better.

Snow depth too would be amazing

They are NATO countries, so no. People are acting all surprised by this Ukraine invasion but it's been an ongoing thing for many years. This didn't just happen. Even before the coup/revolution in 2014.
AWS had a similar oopsie with their Load Balancer: introduced a new flag to strip some headers, enabled it by default for all existing public ALBs, and the effect was that all custom headers with an underscore in the name (“x-access_token”) started getting stripped.

I strongly disagree and this kind of virtue signaling leaves a bad authoritarian taste. We used to look at amazing engineering in supercars, now all we hear about is woke fetish for reducing life quality, living in a pod and driving a scooter. The current trend is to ban all luxury and prevent people from excelling at craftsmanship. It gives people jobs, reduces income inequality (transfer of wealth from top to bottom) and propelling culture forward. Nevermind that.

All this is very perverse, like a race to the bottom with double-standards and contradictions everywhere. "For thee, not me".

Mozilla worked surprisingly hard to make uBO number one - for years they've actively promoted it, marked it as recommended and similar things, added weird warnings for the unwashed masses of "unrecommended" extensions, made them harder or even impossible to install on some platforms. Generally incredibly shady practices I was shocked to see from Mozilla, who I thought had above average integrity - not in the last five years or so I guess. Not even Google pulls stuff like that from what I can tell.

That said, uBO is cool and I'm happy it's still growing.

Why do you suppose documents like these are never discussed and flagged on forums like HN?
Nope not true at all.

I've worked for some phenomenal companies that treat employees incredibly well and compensate them top of the market. They required some leetcode to get in but other than that, the culture was fantastic and the quality of my peers was/is top notch.

To me it seems like you just don't want to spend a few weeks prepping and you're coming up with reasons to justify it.
Isn't the main thing missing pointer support in shaders? As I understand it the VK_KHR_buffer_device_address is mandatory in 1.3 and should fix most of the blockers
In economics, an externality [0] is a cost that is not paid for by the buyer or the seller but generally society bears the cost. For example, when buying a pollution machine - the cost to the environment may not be factored into the purchase price despite it being there.

Internalizing the externalities refers adding an additional cost to the purchase price to cover for the externality. In the example above for the pollution machine, this could be a carbon tax or a carbon offset.

Is Snipd able to do audio transcription for private feeds? Private “podcasts” are my main way I listen to audio books. I tried Snipd last year and it seemed to struggle with private feeds at the time. I was sad, since it’s exactly what I’m looking for (especially if it ever gets Apple Watch support).
There is actually the beginning of a pig dictionary in this article. A "little oink of appreciation." Squeals of direction. Yeah I think they've cracked it.
Wikipedia sez: "Sasha Polakow-Suransky writes that, in 1979, South Africa was not yet advanced enough to test a nuclear device: "By the first week of October, the State Department had realized that South Africa was probably not the guilty party; Israel was a more likely candidate."[46]"

Weird then that there are a bunch of contemporary State Department memos stating the exact opposite. Apologies for ALL CAPS but I don't feel like retyping all of these:

- https://foia.state.gov/DOCUMENTS/1-FY2013/M-2007-03097/DOC_0...

"THE AEC NEEDS TO ESTABLISH HOW SOUTH AFRICA GOT ITS PRESENT NUCLEAR WEAPONS CAPABILITY."

"HE NOTED HIS BELIEF THAT THE SUPPOSED "NUCLEAR EVENT" OF LAST SEPTEMBER WAS IN FACT A NUCLEAR WEAPONS TEST BY SOUTH AFRICA. HE URGED THE SECURITY COUNCIL TO CALL FOR A COMPLETE HALT TO ALL NUCLEAR COLLABORATION WITH SOUTH AFRICA, INCLUDING THE EXPORT OF URANIUM FROM SOUTH AFRICA/NAMIBIA. HE STATED THAT THE EX-CHIEF OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH FOR THE ISRAELI ARMY HAD VISITED SOUTH AFRICA III NOVEMBER, 1979 AND DEMANDED TO KNOW WHAT THE PURPOSE OF HIS VISIT HAD BEEN. HE CALLED THE FRG'S DISAVOWAL OF NUCLEAR COLLABORATION WITH SOUTH AFRICA "MORE FICTION THAT FACT""

"THE WC [World Campaign] BELIEVES THAT THE SEPT 22 ALLEGED "NUCLEAR EVENT" WAS IN FACT THE EXPLOSION OF A NUCLEAR DEVICE BY SOUTH AFRICA. THE EVIDENCE FROM THE VELA SATELLITE, THE FACT OF SOUTH AFRICAN SHIP DEPLOYMENTS IN THE AREA ON THAT NIGHT AND THE IONISPHERIC EVIDENCE FROM PUERTO RICO LEFT NO OTHER REASONABLE CONCLUSION;"

- https://foia.state.gov/DOCUMENTS/1-FY2013/M-2007-03097/DOC_0...

"MEANWHILE, EVIDENCE IS PILING UP ON THE SIDE OF A MAN-MADE NUCLEAR EXPLOSION. BESIDES DISCLOSING THE PRESENCE OF A SOUTH AFRICAN NAVAL TASK FORCE AND A RIPPLE IN THE IONOSPHERE THE NIGHT OF SEPT. 22, THE CIA IS TELLING CONGRESS THAT TWO SENSORS INSTEAD OF ONE ABOARD THE VELA SATELLITE DETECTED THE DOUBLE LIGHT FLASH CHARACTERISTIC OF A NUCLEAR EVENT"

- https://foia.state.gov/DOCUMENTS/1-FY2013/M-2007-03097/DOC_0... summarizes their entire program. It's hard to make out but the ballpoint pen scribbles on the cover seem to say "South Africa's Nuclear Capability C/O AEC".

"In February 1977, there were reports of a US intelligence estimate that South Africa could make a nuclear weapon by 1981, or within a few months if it initiated a crash programme."
I mostly use executable scripts so I can put it in a dir in my PATH. That way I can just run globally. No need to know where it is, or how to run it.

Not sure I fully understand what you mean with this, but if I'm understanding it right, gorun attempts to solve this by doing `syscall.Exec()` on the compiled binary. Combined with slight variation on the "comment" hack (see examples in gorun's readme), signals get fully directed your binary.

I’d settle for them making PRs as useful as they were in 2015, before they messed up some of the most basic functionality: showing the diff, and showing review comments. They hide big diffs behind a “load more” link, and as a result people often fail to code review the most substantial part of a change because they scan right past it, thinking it’s a removed file or binary or something. Then, once you submit a review, they only show 10 comments. In the middle, there’s an easy-to-miss “load more comments” button.

These are the two most fundamental features of a PR. How could they decide so few as 10 is the right number of comments?
I'd say the California weather tax is really worth it (for me).

That extension was present in a lot of places before 1.3 in practice. It's nothing new.

I find Arch is very good for pets, but not cattle. I use it for my own desktop and laptop, but found using it for servers and non-techie family PCs creates something of a rod for my own back.

I use Ubuntu LTS (and lots of Ansible) for servers. Use to also do the same for non-techie PCs but tried Mint recently for a new PC for my Dad and found it excellent for that purpose.

This should in no way be seen as a slight against Arch. I absolutely love using it for my own computers. The rolling-release means it has been years since I've ever had to suffer through a version update that left things weird and leading to a, "Stuff it, gonna do a clean install and rebuild everything from scratch," weekend. Rolling releases and being reasonably close to the bleeding edge were the first things that attracted me to Arch.

The Wiki, the AUR and many other things have been pure gravy since then.
Just checked if it was already submitted because I saw it on twitter. This project is literally a dream, it has so many exciting applications - just imagine as an synthesizer controller with fully interactive haptic feedback. I really need to look into getting hold/building one of those. I wonder how nice this could integrate with virtual reality too, you're often not super aware of the physical surrounding and this could simulate a variety of situations.
It would be nice if Go could do this sort of chaining like jQuery makes so easy with Javascript:

n, err := object
.Process1(arg1, arg2)
.Process2(true)
.Process3("foo")

That would make these sorts of chains much easier to read.
To be fair, the government caught onto that scheme and was not amused.

I think there are pretty clear examples of censorship that would cross the line.

The most widely recognized example is when major search engines delisted pictures and results for the Tiananmen Square massacre last year.

The bookstore analogy would be if you came in and asked for a book on the massacre, and the owner said "sorry, I don't know what you are talking about" when they have a whole shelf in stock.
Rightly so. Unless you specify `--max-time` in your cURL invocation, all the examples should be missing timeouts, as cURL by default doesn't have any timeouts, only if you specify `--max-time N`.
Living in cities that make you want to bike is good, you're choosing to bike and that means you're happier biking than driving. Living in a city based around driving when the government tries to ban ICEs is bad, because you wish you were allowed to drive. Good policy finds a way to align top-down directives with bottom-up preferences.
Right you are. I'm not sure how this happened.
IANANWEONWP, but:

For the number of decoys vs warheads, I /think/ the only real design limit is the throw-weight of the missile and volume of the fairing. This[0] has slightly more information on decoys. The 'it depends' remark is based on the fact that, AFAIK, the choice of decoy:bomb ratio depends on what the attacker thinks they need. Since the US ABM stuff is currently just for very limited strikes, I would guess they wouldn't waste too much space on that. But, they have an option to increase the ratio of decoys:bombs if the US ABM gets denser.

The SS-28 missile has a high throw-weight, in either case; it's replacing the SS-18, which had the record.[1] The wiki page on Russian warheads is mostly filled with 'Unknown model XX megaton warhead', so there's not much detailed info on mass for that side of the equation.

For the Avangard, the advantage that hypersonic vehicles give over a bog-standard ICBM warhread (which themselves travel at hypersonic speeds) is that they're manoeuvrable, so that they can approach a target from an unexpected trajectory . They don't have to fly on a simple arc, and they can change direction, for example, launch from North Korea, fly over the ocean, then attack South Korea from the west. A couple places I heard them discussed was on The Diplomat's podcast[2], and a CFR podcast[3].

One last thing, if you need more things to not think about: FOBS, which poses a similar threat as hypersonics.

Edit: one last last thing: One way to think about decoys/hypersonics/etc is that they are, in a backwards way, a good thing, since they /re establish/ mutually assured destruction. Without MAD, the whole situation becomes more unstable.

What is the practical advantage of being in the EU? Is the currency that important? Can't Ukraine negotiate Schengen-like agreements with any country it wants? I guess I don't see the allure of being "in the club" (and yes, maybe my view as an American colors this a bit).
There will always be a gap between the people who have the skills and knowledge needed to DIY a repair or an upgrade and the people who will never take on the mental effort needed to understand the world they are presented with.

The difficulty level of fixing 90% or more of computer issues would best be categorized as EASY to VERY EASY and yet people are paid mid-5 to 6 figures to do them because of the same phenomenon.

Most people, when their car stopped going forward when they press the go pedal would have a panic attack and call a tow truck. Being the kind of person who has the knowledge to identify the issue, trace it to its origin, and to craft a kludge strong enough to resolve the issue saved you a tow and a repair fee, but you can't assume that because it's easy for you it would also be easy for anyone else.

I guess I'm just saying what we've all heard before, knowledge is power. Fixing your own car, or your own computer, or your own home is at some level knowledge work. Having the knowledge without the ability to use it is frustrating, so most people won't put the effort in to learn the knowledge until they have a use for it, and most of the time they won't have a use for it until it is too late to gain the knowledge.
That would be a good way to reduce Microsoft's prestige in 7/8ths of the World. Definitely a good idea, I say.

'The West' is not 'The World'. The West is only one-eighth of the World. Just India and China's population are three times the size of the whole of the West.

> The animals had positive emotions when nursing, reuniting with family, cuddling with litter mates and running freely. Negative emotions came from situations involving social isolation, fights, castration and waiting in a slaughterhouse.

There's something deeply sad about this. Speaking as someone that regularly eats meat (I had bacon this morning), the prospect of animals have emotional inner lives is the #1 thing that makes me consider vegetarianism.
And once a rationale like this has become part of company culture for >20 years, there is almost no way it is ever changing.

Read an article from my state today about a local utility that was created specifically to get local control and more sustainable energy.

But their proposed large scale solar farm was denied a zoning change because some town thought it was bad idea to remove ( a tiny amount of ) farm land.

The util contractor even said they would still water the land (dumb this is a desert) and have sheep.

Insane to me.

Is there any proof that for profit incentives actually lower costs without effecting safety, reliability, and sustainability?

Texas stands out as proof it doesn't. And even when it's semi-regulated when the profit is fixed % it just incentivizes the wrong thing when we need to scale down/build more sustainable.
Yes that deeply saddens me honestly. I had a friend work on the Site C turbines and what an amazing project. Just massive

As an immigrant it's amazing to see the complacency and also the hostility that some here have towards infrastructure development when in my home country it's probably the thing we'd want the most
Bonus: the poster that said they did that has pictures of their truck on their profile with their business name emblazoned on the side.
I agree! Add the cost of CO2 into the price of gas. But don't ban inefficient speciality cars. I happen to be someone who really enjoys driving performance cars that happen to get really poor fuel economy. I have no problem paying the cost of the CO2 I generate. But I find it very irritating when people say we need to ban these cars outright.
I emphatically disagree, but I did notice that the full range of temperatures in the NOAA dataset is -30 to 120. I've updated the site to use that range.
Define "livable climate". Are Seasons too much to handle? Also, aren't you at risk for an insane 9.0 earthquake (was so when I live in Seattle I believe).
The risk of course being that if your password manager gets hacked then they get the keys to everything. I've been wondering about whether it might make sense to use two separate password managers: one for password, one for TOTP. It's almost as convenient, and it's extremely unlikely that an attacker can compromise both independent password managers at once.
I used to read old Popular Mechanics magazines and I remember one article from the late 40's or early 50's where it was discussing motorcycle maintenance and it explicitly stated that every 5,000 - 6,000 miles you should rebuild your engine for best performance.

Of course, the engine was a two-cylinder that had maybe 25 parts to it, the rebuild process only needed a crescent wrench, a screwdriver, and some gasket making chemicals, and was so simple that 2 pictures told you all of the information you needed to succeed.

1) this isn't a Ferrari, the article literally describes this car as an anti-Prius

2) even the most polluting Ferrari, which according to this page (1) emits 385g/km , is still almost a quarter less polluting than this car (506 g/km according to the article)

I think of FoundationDB as a low level persistence layer that you can use to build a fully functional database on top with more complex querying capability. It provides the core set of semantics such as data replication, globally ordered transactions and horizontal scalability - that are all complex to build in their own right.

If you look at CRDB or TiKV design, under the hood they are also KV-stores with SQL layered on top.
Yeah I was surprised that wasn't clearly stated in the incident report. They made it sound like I wasn't logged in when the outage occurred when I'm always logged in across all my devices.
