For most companies, hiring good quality FTEs is complicated, and very expensive. It makes sense, in many cases, to delegate some things to external vendors ( SaaS companies). There is a line to be drawn somewhere, and it will vary between companies and industries - e.g. a tech company could probably easily handle auth in-house, while i wouldn't expect a law firm or whatever to handle that ( and i wouldn't want them to).
This system doesn't support two-way roads though, so a frontal collision is unlikely.
Yes! I have finally found the ideal country to live in, starting my journey towards Kosovo.
They are literally using Pi 4 compute modules with wireless, 8GB RAM, and 32GB flash which costs less than 35€
Interesting. Presumably, LAPSUS had access to Windows source code but still decided to go after comparatively low-fruit like Bing and Cortana instead of the digital gold that is Windows.
yeah, it's as if it's just, you know, my opinion. smh.

there's data out there shows that there's more injury using a skateboard vs manual powered kick scooter:

https://doi.org/10.1177/0363546504269256

https://doi.org/10.1542/peds.109.3.542

proving conclusively that a skateboard is more dangerous than a scooter would be difficult observationally, however. intuitively though all of the danger present in a scooter also applies to a skateboard, with the added addition that a skateboard doesn't have brakes nor does it have a way to steer without leaning, putting yourself at risk of falling off.
Realistically though we are often locked into terrible software that no one wants because a SVP was wined and dined by the vendor.
Some tasks take more than 25-min so I wonder is that lead to the interruption of focus?
Breaking the S3 durability guarantees badly enough to get press attention would be a critical reputational hit, with the consequences going far beyond just the contractual SLA compensation for the customers.

It would still heal with time, though. There was a period after some nasty incidents where the general advice was to avoid EBS for anything critical... but that's over now.
> which one ?

Banque Populaire. But others are no better. Société Générale is abysmal for example.
> Maybe. Android works across tons of devices and the difference in battery life doesn't jump out to me compared to the fruit company. Linux on a laptop gets similar battery life to Windows in my experience, and that's without using kernel patches and crazy settings, etc.

Google also invested a lot of time into optimizing battery consumption (which hackers and people like the guy from Commonsware derogatory call "War against background processing"). If you look up through history of Android releases, there isn't a single release where there would't be a pretty major change in how Android puts device to sleep and how it wakes it up again.

That stuff is really hard since a single bad service can drain your battery in matter of hours and needs seriously tight coordination between all software makers on your device to avoid problematic edge cases.
Public rates offered by Hetzner are definitely slightly cheaper than OVH, but OVH offers vastly better volume discounts to even fairly small businesses (talking like 10-20k/mo spend).

IME OVH also offers much better connectivity around the world (which makes sense, given that they operate at a much larger scale than Hetzner)

Oh, and Hetzner billing support is absolutely terrible. I had to fight with them for months to stop charging for servers which had already been cancelled, after tens of emails they eventually owned up to having a bug on their end. It was like talking to a wall.
Pretty sure camera lenses already contain a ton of information about distortion and chromatic abberation which the camera uses to compensate automatically. But this is generally disabled when shooting RAW.
I have been an ovh customer for over 8 years but they kept increasing their prices and lowering their offerings, I finally moved on and have zero sympathy for them.

I had nightmares after watching this as a kid.
Just to think France would have been nice and green for decades. Imagine if people at Kyoto would have just said 'right, climate change, lets are just start building nuclear power plants as fast as we can'.

But thanks to amazing green environmental organization like Greenpeace and all the fear-mongering for decades the world has missed multiple opportunities to turn into a nuclear society.

Had governments been willing to pay extra for clean energy (and air), nuclear would have taken of in the 70s everywhere. But coal and later gas was just to cheap for anything to compete.

Germany is specially interesting. They have on the forefront of green revolution. I can't even remember the amount of think pieces hailing Germany as this amazing government lead push to green energy. Germany was held up as the global model over and over. The amount of times I have heard talk about German investment in solar is almost mind-blowing.

But when I look at this map, its always brown. And Germany as an engineering society could have easily spent the last 2 decades putting up nuclear reactors. If France could do it in the 70-90, Germany could have done it 2000-2020.

Likely by now they could finish multiple reactors a year. And once you have the workforce and production capability for that pace could have built them all over the East.

What this map really shows is that if you combine nuclear with hydro you are like gone do amazing.

My own country, Switzerland, sadly had a vote (direct democracy ftw) and now nuclear research and new nuclear is basically illegal. Its a damn shame.

The world has just totally fucked up the response to climate change.

ISWYDT.
That's an apples to oranges comparison, due to differences in car quality and situations driven.

If you only engage Autopilot in the easiest situations to drive in, it might look safer artificially because of that.

Comparing a Tesla to all vehicles means old cars with less safety features enter the picture, skewing the statistics again.
I call this, Insight by Progress. I.e. the further you progress into a problem the more insight you gain.

Personally I have never 100% solved a problem before writing any code. For me it really the other way around. By writing the code I better understand the problem.

I guess what we're dealing with here is that different brains solve similar/same problems in different ways. I guess its also the reason that advice such as "Never start coding ... unless ..." doesn't work for everyone.
> I thought almost any new phone - with GPS/bluetooth off - will last several days.

It's actually the opposite - most modern (especially flagship) phones don't really last more than a day (and here day isn't even 24 hours, but more like 16 hours). It was a massive deal when Apple finally increased the battery life of their iPhones with iPhone 13 series so it can outlast a day of normal use.

There's some difference in mid-range market though - since people buying cheaper phones tend to value battery life, you can get mid-range Android phones with downright massive batteries. Especially in Asia.
Is the reimbursement just pro-rated for the service costs (i.e. 1 day downtime = 1/30th discount of the monthly bill) or something more? If it's just service costs, I find it almost inconsequential compared to the costs to the business of having downtime.
I hate it when people jingle a few trinkets and say look how good everything is. Who cares about avocado? Can you take a few months off to relax? Can you take 2 years off to change careers? Can a woman stay home to take care of her kids for a few years? Can you buy a house without paying for 30 years for it? My friends in the US pay USD3900 for daycare for 1 child.
Fiddler classic is probably fine for Windows users. It's a bit old and unsupported now if I'm not mistaken, but otherwise good IMHO.

New fiddler is not something I would recommend or use, I can't get passed the fact you need to login to it.

Mitm works on Mac and Linux and it's never asked me to login once.
Furthermore, in some cases I think it is a great idea.

I've seen to many "interesting" technlogies being crammed into projects just because devs needed them on the CV.

If people can test out everything they want without having to claim that they need it on a project it can save ourselves a lot more than 15% on any project or product that lives for more than a year or two.

At work we are still sometimes suffering because of how cool Redux once was.
Windows source code must be huuuuge...
Wasn't Windows' source code leaked a number of times already?

I think Bing and Cortana will have some "algorithms" that might be worth a lot more for the right buyer. I mean Google's search algorithm is one of the best kept secrets in the industry.
You're talking about the technical implementation. I'm talking about the experience of "point at thing, click button"

There is a massive gulf between smartphones and standalone cameras there in the outcome.

My point is that there is literally a product segment called "point and click" that is terrible (relatively speaking) at doing that thing.

All the replies here are focusing on how cameras can produce better results. The difference is my phone will in my unskilled hands.
It would be ineffective to have a law against cookies because everyone would just switch to localstorage or another persistent storage.
I can see that to be fair my stuff is just personal websites nobody looks at.

Yeah, I did try it out for a while, a year ago or so. Ended up sticking with sway due to personal preferences, but in general the KDE Wayland session acted the way I expected, and I didn't run into any bugs.
Read the abstract: Data analysts, not data analytics. The persons interested in these seem to have boring traits.
LOL. So he did.

More so; a "revolutionary socialist"

"In December 1884, Morris founded the Socialist League (SL) with other
SDF defectors.^[172] He composed the SL's manifesto with Bax,
describing their position as that of "Revolutionary International
Socialism", advocating proletarian internationalism and world
revolution while rejecting the concept of socialism in one
country.^[173] In this, he committed himself to "making Socialists" by
educating, organising, and agitating to establish a strong socialist
movement;"

I stand very much corrected.

Only knowing him from an "arts and crafts" side I'd assumed he was
into guilds, local trade and manufacturing etc.
Nobody stays hot forever. If you married the hottie when young, and you both grew up into average looking older folks, you recognize the long-term futility of looksism, that in fact truly nice people, regardless of looks, are much better long-term prospects.

But tell that to a young person...
What? The mid-range market of phones with massive batteries is dominating most of APAC markets. What are you talking about?
Depending on what exactly you mean with multiple datacenters, make sure you take a look at the pictures of their DC sites - the DCs in one location may be right next to eachother. Like having your servers in SBG2 and backups in SBG1.

You would need to use multiple locations, not just datacenters, for durability. The network performance between locations just isn't as good as between datacenters in the same location.
I think you misspelled "dumpster fire". Microsoft is known for going to extreme lengths to maintain backward compatibility, but for Windows in particular this means code that's been hacked on for decades.
Please seek out a reputable grief counselor/ therapist specializing in grief counseling. You and your wife deserve a professional to help give you the framework for safely grieving and not spiraling out of control left to your own devices. Please it will help, I promise.

You are controlling it with the single button. You must look at the car the whole time, and release the button in case there is a danger.

So you are in control of the car. Not the trajectory, but you control its velocity. And you are responsible according to tesla.
That is not cynical enough, by far.

> All those invasions of Russia from the West were failures that did not have any long-term consequences

Excuse me, are you considering WWII fatalities as "no long-term consequences"?

> while expanding continuously toward the West, claimed that they were "liberating"

And Nazi Germany claimed they were "liberating" [from the Red Plague] the countries they invade. Well, they liberated Jews, Poles, Slavs from their lives, I can't deny that.
> What’s the fastest way to convert a string to number? And other unspecified behavior.

This really says nothing about the contents of the string. Is it decimal, then maybe they want atoi. They could be looking for a hash of the string as well. Or the levenshtein distance to the word "walrus". Or really, any number of functions that convert a string to a number.
I agree. Coding a solution is my main approach to understanding a problem better.

While it is possible to completely understand the problem before writing a solution, it takes much less time to just build a prototype, analyze it to see what mistakes you made, rinse and repeat.

Note that the third principle of the "unix philosophy" is[0]:

Design and build software, even operating systems, to be tried early, ideally within weeks. Don't hesitate to throw away the clumsy parts and rebuild them.

> I consider members of the Russian military... to still be Russians. therefore FB allows violent statements against Russians

This is sophistry and a category error; and even were it arguable, it is literally incorrect. The Russian army is comprised of other ethnicities and nationalities as well. https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-701018

Advocating violence against an invading army: ethical. Advocating violence against members of an ethnicity: reprehensible. Conflating the two, so that people might believe that one is the same as the other: confused at best, if not evil. Which is what you are attempting to do, here.

I keep "repeating variations of this" because it is exactly what you wrote. You conflated "Russians" with the "Russian army". When called out on it, you doubled down "Well, Russian soldiers are technically Russians so...." You did that. No one else.
Ask HN: Where to deploy a small web application based on Docker?
Hello everyone, I need to deploy a web application (static frontend + backend in Go + PostgreSQL + Redis + long running tasks) for a web application that need to be up for a limited amount of time (3 days at maximum).
What do you suggest? The app is still not ready for K8S, it's using docker-compose.
Not a lawyer, but I think that if you don’t intend for the crash to happen, and don’t act negligently you’re not criminally liable. If the automated process is designed not to require attention of the operator, it should not be considered negligent not to pay attention to it.

Maybe a similar case is how business jets that used to always require two pilots, even tiny ones like the Learjet 23. Flying one of them alone might not only be against the regulations, but even be criminally negligent if you crash and kill someone. But newer business jets have more automation and are designed for single pilot operation, so operating it alone would not be negligent.

> The driver who has fled

...?

I suppose they may not have fled the scene per se, possible the OP meant fled from dealing with the repercussions.
You are right about the lots of discrete components, but you are wrong about the battery life. Currently, Librem 5 works for ~10 hours and it has no suspend at all. One could probably expect 24 hours when suspend is fully implemented. More details: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Freque....
Irresponsible design. It's not just the fire and the damage to businesses, but the report lists concerns about lead from the UPS batteries being spread all the way to Germany as a result of the plume from the fire, as well as in the water from the firemen. Fortunately, in this case, they measured the water and found no significant amounts, nor did the German environmental authorities, but it could easily have been as bad as the Notre-Dame fire where a huge chunk of innermost Paris was contaminated by lead from the destroyed roof.
I agree, but it depends on the type of attack. Apparently this LAPSUS$ group uses corruptible employees/contractors to get in. As a small employer with a personal relationship to my employees I have an advantage that I might not want to throw away by delegating security to a company that doesn't have this advantage.
I was a personal injury lawyer for seven years before moving on and eventually becoming a programmer.

1. You need a lawyer. You have no objectivity in your current state.
2. Hacker News is not a lawyer.
3. SF is a plaintiff-friendly jurisdiction.
4. You said the driver "has fled". What do you mean by that?

This is not legal advice, and I don't represent you.
This banana is delicious but makes for a terrible automobile. I wish someone would make a banana that could get me to work on time.

In other news I know of a MitM proxy that works as advertised, has a decent UI, and is reasonably tasty.
It is pretty annoying though how in the Intel Mac mini they offer memory upgrades but if you go to a European Apple store they’ll tell you you can’t get the upgrade from them. And that would be even more annoying if there’s some artificial limitation to prevent you from doing it yourself.
I guess it is subjective.

Is it stock market price, followers on Twitter, or another criteria?

My claim is that if you narrow it down to actual autonomous driving; lidar + camera + a big chip will beat camera + a very big chip for the foreseeable future.
I've found this sentiment is common among people who dislike coding. They feel code is a burden and do whatever they can to minimize the amount of it that they do.

I've consistently outproduced peers by picking up the compiler early in the cycle and throwing away what I've done if it isn't working out. It requires a bit of self awareness, judgement and taste to know if something isn't going to work but I think the people who hate coding also can't stand throwing effort away like that.
Nickel: Gradually-Typed Configuration Language
> 10. When making decisions about the solution all things equal, go for this priority:
Security > Reliability > Usability (Accessibility & UX) > Maintainability > Simplicity (Developer experience/DX) > Brevity (code length) > Finance > Performance

In my experience simplicity is the cornerstone priority that nearly all other attributes stem from. Simpler solutions tend to be easier to rationalize/debug, leading to systems that are more maintainable, more reliable, and generally more secure (see OpenBSD). This is of course not an absolute rule but I've found success by always being cautious when introducing complexity and investing extra time to explore/discover simpler approaches.

The author shows they have this insight in points 2, 11, 13, 17, and especially 19, but didn't really represent this in their list of priorities. Simplicity is more than DX.
> Bugs take shelter in complexity. “Magic” is fine in my dependency but not in my code.

I disagree with this. Dependencies become your code and any magic will always come and bite you, no matter if it's written by you or a downstream dependency.

The guiding principle should be: Reject magic at all cost
> Germany was held up as the global model over and over.

They were/are, but IMO, Germany seem to be in a terrible position re managing their energy needs.

They have had huge price increases - partly because they have had such dependence on Russia, and because they have removed their own power plants.

However ... Pine64 (Pine Store Limited) is a Hong Kong based company, and with China's appetite for mass privacy infringements (see their social credit system), there could be a problem there in the future, especially since privacy is the main selling feature of these phones.
Well OP has done something already by starting the legal process, so that's already better than many when it comes to fighting evil. And I don't think he should need to feel he has any more duty than anyone else.

EDIT: My assumption is that they engaged a lawyer but if not that's obviously my advice #1.

I keep telling people this: show me the data structures and I can make a pretty good guess about the algorithms that are used. Show me the code, and I still won't have much of an idea exactly what the data should look like.

In modern OOP, with code and data all mixed up and algorithms being injected at runtime with vastly different effects, things can get unreadable very quickly.
Not sure whether I'm helping or coming off unsensitive but this is what I understood a few years after I lost my grandfather: none of the memories I had with him happened in the cemetery, this is only the place where his body had to be taken. Of course I still go once in a while, take care of the flowers. But his garden, his house, the good times happened there.
