> Keep in mind that the NSA will start scooping up all of your packets simply because you visited torproject.org.

This particular one might not be true but the general spirit probably is. This is why I sometimes do things which a drug lord would do even though I am not one (I swear). It's for the benefit of possible-future me where I do have something to hide.

The correlation of the time where you started using Tor extensively and the time a particular Darknet service started operating? Certainly a possible leak of a few precious bits of those ~30 bits that are needed to pinpoint you.

It's a generalization of the rule that you should not restrict encryption to only those messages that are important.
Sorry I don't understand, we display with pretty print, see here : https://kestra.io/assets/img/05.8b5545ef.png

It's not as json ? or I don't understand where you see that.
Exactly - MSFT can pay higher CAC and they are trying to keep them in their services as a whole not strictly GitHub related. Slightly different goals and pockets.
There's money to be made with desktop software and the subscription model.

Just looking at my own apps: IntelliJ, Bitwig, Bear, Renoise, ...
I go hilariously out of my way to eliminate elasticsearch at any org I join. Usually because it's only being used for logs and modern tools like loki are immeasurably easier to scale and cheaper to run. But I also find many many developers using it don't know about time series databases or anything at all about which data structures go in which kind of database and just dump everything into a horrifically organized search database. Its at least one order of magnitude worse to scale and operate than a mongo-type nosql database being used incorrectly by a developer who doesn't know any better and two orders of magnitude worse than a sql database being used incorrectly by a developer who doesn't know any better.
Perhaps I'm overthinking this, but open source malware is absolutely not new. It's been around basically as long as the internet has (and I mean pre-www). You could even argue that it pre-exists the internet since phone phreakers were sharing "code" earlier than that.
This might be pedantic, but DevOps originated in the idea that ops and devs needed to work very closely together to deliver capabilities. It _then_ turned into a role "cloud sysadmin" and then lately seems to be "build engineer".

Language shifts, man. Weird stuff.
At the bottom of the table, it says "Total Respondents 40", not 43.

I also note that it averages 4.55 languages per respondent.
That is because facebook ‘sells’ stuff people can easily live without… its not the same for the other companies
Thanks but still confused because it doesn't discuss git projects.

If I have Group A which has A/privateGit1.git with 4 users and A/privateGit2.git with 4 others different users then Group A has 8 users ?

Also it becomes more complex with guest users
> The problem with all these desktop UI toolkits is they have a look and feel all of their own (IMHO). You can make buttons look like Windows buttons on Windows and OSX buttons on OSX but that's only superficially cross-platform.

Exactly this -- every cross platform GUI toolkit ends up falling into an uncanny valley where it looks sort of native but subtle things are just off.

This is, I think, a key part of Electron's popularity. Apps made with Electron are so very obviously non-native that they avoid this uncanny valley effect.
I am an alcoholic sober for several years. It is fundamentally a willpower problem. Even if insurance or the government paid for inpatient rehab, as soon as you walk out the door it’s only willpower that stops you from continuing to drink. The same goes for being given medication that reduces cravings for alcohol or makes you sick if you drink. You can always just not take it.

That said, most people don’t become addicts in a vacuum. Many people become addicts only because a life under the influence beats their life otherwise. Unfortunately it’s a lot harder to fix someone’s life than it is to get them sober. But the poor sober life is, in my opinion, the actual underlying condition which leads to addiction. We don’t really have a framework for treating that as a society nor through the medical system.
Little wind and little sun is every calm night. It is definitely not a rare occurrence.
You could just squeak by if you watched it on 1.25s speed. You'd even have 8 hours to nap or go to the bathroom!

That!

There is still no default setting for a properly run email server.

Gotta configure some 5 different packages worth of 600 settings.
Agreed--SSH certificate authorities (and principals) are powerful things that can be used to manage SSH access at scale. My workplace is a large enterprise that uses our own CA for getting access to systems--the keys it issues are good for 8 hours, then we have to grab a new key (using an internal utility).

For anyone who is interested, I put together a little playground which can be spun up in Docker that allows you to play around with and learn how SSH CAs and Principals work:

SWT still doesn't really feel native though. The toolbars, in particular, look like they belong in Office XP.
the problem used to be very visible in early app development: you get android apps that try to imitate ios. the navigation is wrong, the inputs are wrong, the ui language is inconsistent.

it happened all the time when almost all of the graphic designers (which were thrust into the roles of UI designers) were on mac and usually ios but got the task of "designing an app", which meant _one_ design for both ios and android. as an android developer i had to fight the OS, the framework and pretty much everything else to make the designers vision work, which resulted in buggy apps that felt unintuitive to use.
Easiest database to scale is a pretty low bar. Databases are typically really hard to scale and Elasticsearch is no exception. Aside from the issue of ease, one thing that has been universally true for me is that Elasticsearch is incredibly expensive to scale in terms of compute costs.
When you're trying to cover your tracks, it's best to assume the worst at all times, even if it's unlikely.

Besides, it's not like the NSA doesn't have the capability to scoop all packets from people they've seen visited torproject.org.
People also turn to drugs because they were irresponsibly prescribed opioids and developed a chemical addiction.

This idea that addiction is something that only happens to people who "just can't deal with life" needs to die.
And also how much the US authorities want you. If the US really wants you, they have a very long reach (see Bin Laden in Pakistan).
Voluntary return to work is better. You save on office space, parking space fuel costs, commute time etc. And employees who don't have a great home office situation get a separate work environment if and when they need it. Even better if you are spread geographically and offer to pay for office space for employees who need it.
"Classical" means different things, and in this context refers to a broader time span. I'm blessed to live near a university with a great music department, so I actually get to hear music spanning 5 centuries including new stuff. It all involves mostly the same musicians and skill sets. Even the musicians refer to all of it generically as classical.
Arch Enemy probably don't.
Ideally, k-of-n key shards, stored in safety deposit boxes.
I've experienced too much altruistic, generous, kind behavior to support this cynical view, unless you're defining "incentive" so widely as to be meaningless (sure, some people are incentivized to help others partially because they get good feelings by doing so -- I suppose Ayn Rand was right all along).

We are hiring and we have a non-terrible interview process (and amazing culture)!
The prices can be different. The customer may choose the cheaper, less convenient option.
Ask HN: Are there any companies that share IP profits with regular employees?
I think you could just say the world has moved on from client-side desktop apps. Doesn't matter much what language, the majority of applications are web-based and there are major negatives to having a client side install experience with patching, versioning, support, etc.

Yes there are still niche domains that would need a desktop app but those are probably more rare as time goes on and/or already have established players.
I was making a much narrower point above, just that there isn't additional overhead involved in shutting down for a day with our system, as opposed to sending hundreds of workers home which does happen today. Absolutely as you mentioned there's overhead in general involved with delivery, setup, teardown, and supervision.

And yes, as you said there is still the lost time value of money associated with any equipment that's not doing productive work.
Great article. All of your internal authentication should be using certificates. Web auth, Wifi, VPN, SSH

In the late 90s we came close to having this for the public internet as well but it never caught on. We paid the price with endless breaches and unmanageable credentials.
This is a mathematical approach to music, and lacks (from my point of view) what is the mere essence of music : choice.

I understand why they want to take back the copyright on music, but they do so in such a geeky way that it seems completely useless to me.

Ultimately, musicians will pick good / cool melodies from this dataset, in the same way they do when in front of an instrument.

I might be missing the point ?
It's less that but that the C tooling matured to the point where it was actually good enough to use. Particularly in terms of good enough output. Tight loops and often called functions were and sometimes still are (in SIMD terms) written in assembly so they could be hand optimized.

More exotic hardware also relied on the vendors providing a C compiler and the quality there could vary wildly.
Have you read anything by e.g. Sidney Dekker or Nancy Leveson on "human error"?

It sounds like you're picturing fully automated systems in which case you're right; flexibility is at conflict with security (as far as we know now, anyway.)

But once you throw humans into the loop, allowing them to be autonomous and not rule-bound, command-obeying robots can improve security a lot.
Seems hard to regulate the model... but y I agree we can regulate the requirement to have a no-dark-pattern way to reach a human.

Obviously, we need to avoid abuse especially automated abuse, and this in turn becomes difficult.

So... perhaps it makes the most sense to roll this issue into regulation against dark patterns.

Or... fund an organization exposing dark patterns and helping consumers choose companies that avoid them.
Burning certainly does not require breaking chemical bonds (or else Hydrogen is not flammable). I always considered burning to be oxidation; possibly only when oxygen is the oxidizing agent.
Throw in fellatio and you have me sold.
Galaxy S2 or S4. I don't want an unofficial OS or security updates only.
One point I haven't seen mentioned: When traveling, a good USB-C cable is a godsend - forget carrying 5 different chargers for 5 different devices, now it's just one for all the devices. It makes it sooo much easier, it's incredible.
Gone are the days of cables hanging out of the backpack, searching for the right cable for the Powerbank for the headphones/phone/switch/whatever on the plane.
Alright I buy your point. I don't like it, but I do buy it.

I do see that ultimately everything is painted in my mind by my senses and I rely on this painting for my interpretation of the world. If I didn't have senses since birth? I wouldn't have the painting nor any understanding of the world except for, maybe, a sense of hunger and an urge of bodily secretions.

Regardless, the world continues to exist as is.

That's still far more than you'd pay for most healthcare related things across the EU.

> 1) electric cars acting as buffers. Particularly rarely-used vehicles could earn some side money for being used in a smart grid.

Bidirectional V2G systems only exist as demonstration projects now, and we'll need a bunch of time to ramp that up. It requires a lot of EVs, lots of grid updates all over the place, and for people to willingly participate at a meaningful scale. This won't be cheap and the grid we have now can't handle it.
I'd love to see an Android app in the list.
To me it seems like most corporate polices almost force employees to hold back their best project ideas for fear the employee loses the IP.
No, it's not like they're LinkedIn or something!

Oh wait...
I thought that may have been confusingly worded. I think we agree that you continue to build intellectual power into your forties. Maybe not raw intelligence as studies have shown. But the ability to connect and integrate related Concepts more quickly.

Wow. This is so creative :)

I counted 11 KoRn songs in there. (If counted correctly)
Commercially usually means they are actually outputting things.

Lftrs have been hyped since like 2010 and I don't think any new molten salt reactor has made any net power on the grid since then. From what I could tell of the companies you listed not a single one even has a demo reactor and the earliest ones are slated for years from now.

The Deadly Cyclone That Changed the Course of the Cold War
which question? I don't know if the reviewer's criticisms are accurate, thats the question you asked multiple times but its not a question for me so its better I ignore it. I just assumed the other questions where rhetorical and it looks like I addressed them.

also I get stuff booted off the internet all the time, in the US, which is a pretty strong "cultural free speech/expression" place. so my reality is pretty different than yours.
That doesn't have much to do with open source, though. Corporations selling proprietary stuff are more than happy to slap slogans and hashtags all over it to promote their devotion to some political cause of the day. Unlike open source "as-is no warranty clauses," their licenses tend to come with a guarantee saying they can't just stop working or break the rest of your system on purpose, though, and if they do, you get a support engineer helping you until it's fixed.

Really, even that doesn't have much to do with open source, since companies exist that develop entirely open source products but offer paid support and enterprise contracts with warranties and guarantees. What this really damages is the reputation of ecosystems that rely upon foundational libraries made by hobbyists and one-man operations as weekend side projects.
From their earlier posts it sounds like they're encountering some kind of MySQL performance issue, which in my (horrible) experience can be extremely difficult for your jack of all trades software engineer or SRE to troubleshoot.

I would hope a company Github's size would have MySQL expertise on staff, but if not I will say a prayer for the poor souls who are feverishly reading the Percona blog and trying to decide whether to tune the doublewrite buffer or redo log, or both, or neither.
They don't have restaurants outside of the US?
If you have run VPSes for some time, how come you have not learnt and taken some steps to make it less prone to attacks? That's the part I don't find credible enough, or can't share the rationale to include it in this post.
Some developers are fouling up open-source software
I find the argument that you shouldn’t be using serverless because you don’t have money to throw on devops a bit… strange? Isn’t the big reason on using serverless to avoid spending money and time to managing your own server?

And IMO the lambdas-are-cheap argument is more like that lambdas are expensive, but they multiply to your scale, so it’s super-cheap in small startups. I view lambdas as a starting point for PoCs — they eventually have to move to VPCs, but lambdas are free if it gets no traffic.

And that’s why I’ve mentioned lockin-free APIs: lambdas are terrible if you can’t migrate away from it. But if you can without much effort, it provides pretty good value.
Because it produces a kind of pollution that has to be stored permanently. The non-renewable resource is safe places to store the waste for thousands of years.

More importantly it differs from other renewables in its lead-up time. Nuclear plants can take decades to build. There is hope that small modular reactors can fix that problem, but it's not proven yet. And there is the risk of conflict with renewables which are ready right now: "Don't build solar/wind/etc but instead wait indefinitely for this other technology which may not work."

I would welcome successful deployments of SMRs. But I don't expect them soon, and today there remains a lot of opportunities to deploy wind and solar at costs that continue to improve in economies of scale. If SMRs join them as a supplement to reduce greenhouse gases, so much the better, but for the foreseeable future they are not a sole solution.

that's not what they were arguing tho: "You can make buttons look like Windows buttons on Windows and OSX buttons on OSX but that's only superficially cross-platform."

platform design choices are much more than the look of a button. it's choice and arrangement of ui elements, navigation systems, metaphors, ...

if you just see it as "button on windows" vs. "button on macos" it's not that obvious, but think about how you'd design an email client on windows vs. command line vs. mobile phone vs. smart watch.

a simple "button" might be roughly the same on every platform, but the overall design would be quite different.
Yeah, I would not call 100,000 tracks of garbage noise produced and never played for people a prolific DJ.
A DJ is a performer by definition.

>There's no reason for nuclear reactors to be more expensive than a similar non-nuclear plant.

No reason other than politics and stupidity (over regulation, emotional fear mongering, ignorant baseless assumptions, etc.)
Crows possess higher intelligence, thought a primarily human attribute (2020)
After ISIS rose I gave up the idea that countries like Syria, Iraq etc can ever become anything more than "hellholes", at least in my lifetime. Certain areas like Kurdistan excepted (and I hope and support their recognization as a state), but in general there will always be one strongman or another.

But Ukraine was different (and I hope it still will be), turning from the world of the strongman and toward Europe and modern freedoms. It was on the same trajectory that Poland went on 18 years ago: a massively better life for the average, ordinary person. Ukraine had troubles, but those were solvable because that is what they wanted.

All of that is now ground up along with so many children under the ruble in the streets because Putin had to establish a slightly larger state.

So when Ukraine was killed, not only was the civilians there massacered, so was the future of the entire country or at least pushed another generation into the future.

I hope neither of the perpretators ever make it the Hague, a few years in prison is nowhere near enough punishment.

This reminds me of the inverse placebo effect, e.g. people who actually get sick because of radio towers and what they ‘heard’ radio towers can do to your health…
The only good battery technology we have today - LiIon - relies on metal of which there just isn't enough on Earth for anywhere close to the required capacity.
This is a bad take. The purpose is, at least partially, that the author of the package subscribes to these opinions rather than others, sure. But this doesn't necessarily have anything to do with them being "right" or not. I don't get a lot of capital at Hacker News by saying that I support Black Lives Matter, but if I do so (and I'm doing so) does that mean I only want to display that I subscribe to the "correct" opinions?

Plus, demonstrating what opinions are held is not the whole point. Part of it is telling others who support those causes that they're not alone. And it's also partially a "fuck you" to those who are triggered by mentions of causes like Black Lives Matter.
I dislike this characterization ("privilege") as it is part of the new double-speak that is intended to stop the conversation, because, after all, how do you argue against that.

Yeah, I can do some things some people can't, but I can't do some people can. You can make a reasonable argument that everything is politics, but it is slippery slope, because tomorrow I might find myself with files deleted, because I did not read fine print with vegan inclinations of the developer and his stance on this subject.

It can bad really fast. It is already bad. Previously dumb pipes are being coerced to be 'smarter' and it is breaking the basic foundations of society. It is a privilege to live in a society. I think it would help if some naive activist did not undermine its foundations.
I saw the opacity features but I was curious to see if with that feature, the bold text could stay as-is, and the regular text could take on lower opacity so that the full word is still there but only the bold parts are in full color. The opacity demo showed the whole paragraph as taking on an opacity reduction. I’m wondering if making the regular letters less opaque would disrupt the flow or further help focus on the important bits in bold?

I think a better requirement (that is, more likely to achieve the desired result) may be to make it clear on signup that there will be no human support provided. I suspect this would be enough to allow customers to make an informed decision, so that folks that value real support can choose companies that provide it. Today, I can sign up for a service online and only find out in my moment of need that there's no hope of getting help from a real person. But perhaps people would still just choose the cheapest option regardless.
