I had aunts, uncles, and various family friends with numbers on their arms. I vividly recall their expression when I asked (I was like 3 or so, late 1960s) if I could get one of those for me. I thought it was cool. I only learned much later, when my older brother came home with a swastika drawn on one of his school binders, what had happened.

This was "the talk". A discussion of the Shoah with my older brother and me, from my parents, who were kids (in the US) during that time. They simplified it somewhat, but it was absolutely horrible regardless.

As an adult, I read about the Evian Conference[1][2]. It was an opportunity to reduce and even, possibly, stop a genocide. All the participants had to do was to open their countries to jewish refugees. Of all of the participants, only 1 did. Not because it was morally the right thing to do. But because he thought it would enrich him.

After learning of many of the rest of the atrocities, the willing/eager participation in these from eastern European countries ... I am generally unwilling to feel sympathetic in the least, towards any country/people/group that participated in this. This includes those jews who turned into collaborators. They are called kapos btw. They existed.

Tieing this all back to today. There is precisely 1 country on the planet that accepts jews from where ever they are as olim, without appealing to other authorities. They enable jews to return from the diaspora to their historical homeland. Had this country existed in 1939, it is unlikely that the Shoah would have happened.

The same forces that allowed, and actively encouraged the Shoah to bloom are play today. Jews are still global targets. Antisemitism has been blossuming.

The difference? We have somewhere to go. And we won't go out quietly into that good night.

As Golda Meir pointed out with regards to our homeland, we have a secret weapon. We have no other place to go. And history has shown that we should never, ever, under any circumstances, trust another nation to provide security.

After basic cardiovascular death and cancer death, the next most common is "medical errors" such as this.
Every time someone on a discussion forum identifies a fundamental problem with the web3 space, it's inevitable that someone will reply with a link to an essentially arbitrary project and claim that it solves that problem. I've never seen the same project linked twice in this way, it's always brand new, and usually from a group I've never heard of, either. Just wild.
This is a really tough thing to tackle. It's hard to skill up a whole team unless the whole team is onboard.

I'd start with that. Have a conversation with the whole team and get a feel for if they agree with your assessment that the React code is amateurish and the team doesn't fully understand it. BE CAREFUL how you approach this conversation. It really sounds like it is your personal opinion that the codebase is amateurish. If others don't agree, you can really damage your professional relationships on the team if you aren't gentle with your criticism here.

If the team is not in agreement, then it probably ends there. Pushing it further will only cause problems for you in this case.

If the team does agree that everyone needs to skill up, then you will collectively need to agree on what areas to work on. I'd suggest the team find a good online course and everyone complete it. That's a good starting point, making sure everyone has the same baseline understanding of the technology.

Past that, if the team can hire a good experienced developer in the technology to act as a mentor that's always a good person to have around.

All of this advice is based around answering the question you asked, but I would also like to encourage you to re-frame your thinking. Instead of thinking that the team needs to skill up and approaching it like that is the problem to solve, I recommend approaching it as a personal improvement project.

Work on your own skills with React, take courses, look at other examples of codebases that do it well. Start to implement what you learn into your own work. Do refactors in the areas of the code you work in. Make suggestions for improvments on coworkers PRs. In short: Seek to become the mentor you think your team needs in order to improve, and lead by example.

> NEVERTHELESS, software supply chain is important. Whatever JVM one chooses should have a good answer to how they handle it.

We do agree on that. We also agree that Linux distributions & Docker official images have been doing shitty job in the past which is what your article is talking about. Thanks to Gil Tene continuous efforts to raise awareness about this issue, situation has somewhat improved.

My point is that AdoptOpenJDK has been specifically created to tackle those issues. Your initial comment seems very unfair to them and could misguide some people.

Everyone is free to pick the JDK build of their choice. Several projects do a good job at providing quality builds of OpenJDK. Most OpenJDK distributions are upstream first, so the determining factor is the trust you put in their build, test & QA processes. From that point of view and in a long term vision, supporting AdoptOpenJDK / Adoptium Temurin looks like a smart move because their tooling & processes are open source and which keeps the OpenJDK ecosystem in a safe state as it doesn't rely on a few private companies as sole providers for the community. History taught me that over reliance on Amazon or Azul might not be a good idea. Lets thanks them for their contributions, but lets no depend on them without viable alternatives.
Evolution of Cannibalism in Australian Cane Toads
The big question is 'are they assets'? They bought 'assets' which literally nobody else wants.

They did this in 2009 and over 10 years never exited those 'assets'.

Are these in reality liabilities and worse yet, to 'buy' these 'assets' they had to issue liabilities in balance. So really this balance is not so.
They maintain a page for each version listing patches. I don't believe it's up for 18 yet, but given the short list for 17 I expect it's currently just patching the vendor metadata.

Edit: While not technically a patch, I should note that they do have different compile options than the Oracle builds. The biggest difference I can think of is Amazon ships with the Shenandoah GC enabled, while Oracle's builds do not.
I've been using this as a daily driver for at least 5 years now.

Only laptops so far, with 4+ cores and 32+GB RAM and 500G+ disk.

It was working fine on my Lenovo T470p, and it runs pretty sweet on Lenovo P14s. Except that suspend is not working. ( Hopefully is resolved soon ).

It's always a problem with battery, but with suspend working fine it's quite easy to get a solid 30 days uptime even though you move around. ~3h runtime with ~10 vms running.

I wouldn't say it's perfect, but I wouldn't choose anything else if I would do it all over. Totally worth the extreme learning curve ;-)
Yes, but aren't we talking about which country is the target of the scams, not the source?
Nice, but extremely expensive and out of reach of hobbyists.
Over time, idiosyncratic behavior tends to develop into splinter communities that are just as strong as the original, if not more so. Look at the history of LGBTQ+ subcultures and you can very much see that happen.
Does that mean that a browser shouldn't be able to display a text file with explicit line breaks, though?
Sibling comment looks interesting, but two other options I've used are A) https://testmy.net/auto which lets you set up scheduled speed tests, and B) some manual hacky scripts running via cron on a Raspberry Pi.

The latter is useful because you can run whatever combination of tests you want - there are CLI programs that run on a Pi for bandwidth/speed testing (I think speedtest.net has one specifically, but there are others, including at least one other that targets speedtest.net), mtr/traceroute/ping/etc. etc. can all be scripted, and if you get a bit clever with your pipes and sed scripts, you can end up with a file that can be directly loaded into a spreadsheet program for plotting (or you could go all-out and have the script generate a plot.ly plot directly). I've also plotted ambient temperature here, to maybe find any correlations.

What might be the most useful for you is to find a metric on your router/modem that provides some value - years ago I was able to find a signal quality metric on my DSL modem that I could record programmatically (simple API call with a the simplest HTTP password encryption option...), which eventually lead to discovering that there were line filters/attenuators that had been installed but not removed for the different seasons.
That's an incredible pace, especially not taking any days off. When I do so, I lose my sense of time. I feel like, I've been working forever. I have to switch to a different task for at least a day to recover.

Do you have to maintain a certain sleep schedule or do you happen to naturally find it easy to work at this pace? How could I train myself to work as intensely?
We need to just all stay inside forever. Be safe my friend.
I think you are talking about their other offers? I was referring to ones at the bottom of this page under section: "Download Azul Zulu Builds of OpenJDK"

I don’t know where these people are working. Here in the south where the cost of living is SUPER low, Hardee’s will pay you 16$ an hour to start. Waffle House will give you 18. Panera Bread $20.

I don’t think this data has caught up with wage increases after the labor shortage.
I'm not assuming anything, I'm commenting on the public post here.
I am using the FreeBSD firewall, which is simpler than pfSense, so I am pretty certain that this must be possible in most, if not all, firewalls.

For any rule of the firewall, which may match any kind of traffic, you may set the rule to update a counter. The values of the counters will accumulate the total quantity of data transferred until the counters are reset (periodically), and you may choose to store the values in a log for later inspection or you can use a shell script to interrogate the firewall periodically and compare the counter values with thresholds and send alerts when they are exceeded.

As long as the firewall rules include the option for a "count" or similar action, which I believe to be available in all of them, then you can use the firewall to monitor the amount of data that passes through the network.

Even when a firewall does not provide the length of the packets, just counting the number of packets is enough to estimate the maximum amount of data that might have been transferred, because you know the maximum packet sizes on your interfaces.
Yes I did quite like bluespec, though after my time using it I drew two conclusions.

1. The extra power I had to build parameterisable/configurable designs didn't help as much as you'd hope as I said in my earlier post. Making something that can deal with a large parameter space still remains hard, the easier things look a lot nicer and are less fiddly to work with but on a practical level you're not gaining much.

2. One of bluespec's big ideas is you write the rules, with conditions and it works out the rest. The problems come when this maps to verilog and you need to start fixing implementation issues. I ended up having to develop good intuition around exactly how the compiler would schedule the rules so I could avoid issues (e.g. combinational loops). It felt like bluespec really pushed you into deep pipelining, rule does one thing result gets flopped another rule will take over next cycle. Fine for some designs but sometimes you've got a whole bunch of stuff you want to get in a single cycle (e.g. within a CPU) and there I felt like the rules construct ultimately just made it harder to build anything.

I do remember discovering some 'hidden' language features. Knowing it all turned into Haskell underneath via term rewriting I tried some syntactic constructs that weren't documented but I felt should work and often found they did! This gave some fairly powerful stuff to play with though never good to rely on undocumented features.

As I said it was over 10 years ago so my memory is hazy, things may have improved since there as has my skill and experience. I should really take another look now the compiler is open.
The article also notes that private investors have no appetite for more bonds and prices will crater as a result. Could this lead to higher yields and thus higher borrowing costs for the government? Are interest payments about to make a major jump in the federal budget?
That’s a little backwards, AAA games are expensive which makes them inherently risky. This is why most successful companies try to minimize risks by using proven franchises and gameplay.

However, you do see plenty of exceptions like the original Dark Souls which took serious risks. Which was then followed by two lower risk sequels.
We were on track to complete Kickstarter deliveries by end of 2020. Still very late by all measures but the challenges of staring a manufacturing company from scratch cannot be understated. It's very hard. Even so, our backers for the most part supported us and anyone that didn't want to wait was offered refund. The pandemic threw a huge wrench into our plans and the last two years have been an incredible balancing act of managing run-away lead times, rising costs and other critical details. As an example, if you place an order for saddles right now, you're getting them late 2023/early 2024 and it's 30-50% deposit up front. Titanium costs just went up 20% and lead times increased by another 30 days due to recent world events.

As another post here mentions, it would be good for me to write about the lessons of our journey as it is unique and becoming more relevant as hardware startups seem to be on the rise. I will do that soon.
I really don't like this apology.

> We didn’t intend to SPAM you or send unsolicited emails, we just wanted to ask for feedback

You _did_ want to send unsolicited emails, that's exactly what you did. You saying you didn't want to send spam, and hiding what you did intend to do behind "we didn't intend to spam you" is burying the lede.

> Being an open-source/boostrapped service,

Being bootstrapped is not an excuse for sending unsolicited marketing emails. Hiding behind being "open source" when you're actually a commercial offering with an open source repo is _again_ trying to hide what you did.

> But now it's clear that that was a wrong decision

It's only clear after someone called you out on HN and flagged your repository as abusing the terms of service?
I often use Liberica cos it’s easy to get JavaFX packaged in.
> The nurse had to go out of her way to get around restrictions designed to prevent her from giving it.

From the article, it sounds like those restrictions were on the level of severity of a click-through that one is required to do many times a day. Those quickly become meaningless.
I suspect space probes have a pretty steep bathtub curve. Lots of potential failure points early on, then large stretch of low risk of failure, followed by increasing failure risks as it gets old.

So when NASA set a target minimum lifetime goal, it puts them quite far into the bathtub curve, long after all that initial risk goes away.

If it makes it to it's target lifetime, chances are it will last a lot longer.
Ouch! Nothing like finding a thread where people are discussing how your work isn’t meeting their expectations. :-) hope you’re doing bigger and better things.

Saudi Arabia Postpones Its GDPR for One Year
Saudi Arabia's version of the EU's GDPR, called locally the Personal Data Protection Law, PDPL, was delayed for one year the day before the law was to take effect. The PDPL generally follows the GDPR but is a little stricter since it does not permit the unlicensed transfer of personal identifying information (PII) outside of the country except in emergencies. It is surprising that a law like this would be delayed one day before it was to take effect.

The announcement was made yesterday on Twitter, increasingly the preferred platform for official government press releases.
(A 20 years late) hint - just switch to software mode, duh.
I hate math. Not because "math is hard", but because the language of math is hard. It's unintuitive and minimalist and full of obscure runes and intonations and nothing is ever explained simply. Many of its properties are just conventions the first person came up with and nobody ever decided to consolidate all the quirks into a simpler form. It's unnecessarily hard to learn - especially for those with learning disabilities.

It turns out there are lots of languages like this. C and Verilog and Assembly, and ... Cantonese, Albanian, Russian, Arabic. Ask people why they're like that and there is always a story, and usually some good reasons (or at least useful qualities). But language is a part of culture, and sadly, culture is incredibly hard to change.
Your second point is perhaps the most salient in establishing neglect. The patient would have immediately stopped breathing and moving, and her lips would have turned blue. Anyone paying the slightest bit of attention would have seen that this is not the expected reaction, and intubated until the vec wore off.

Even if the nurse had administered the correct medication, this patient would have been in danger. Versed is a benzodiazepine, and not without its own risks — especially in an elderly patient. What was this nurse doing paying so little attention to a patient she thought she had just sedated?
It's mainstream, but specifically among laborers. Managers, and particularly executives, still seem to overwhelmingly disagree. And guess who sets the rules?
Insurance companies all but insist on lab studies. I've tried to get a clear answer from doctors on why, but none of them offered a good explanation. I refuse to do it; there's no way I can fall asleep in that setting, on their schedule, in an uncomfortable bed, with people watching me. If you push back enough you can always get a home test.

I appreciate the followup.

> Al and Tipper Gore were roundly mocked for the record rating system they championed.

Which has a direct mirror in the mocking of Republicans who are currently trying to ban books and ideas (CRT) they don't like. A lot of your idea rests on the concept of "culturally influential people" pushing these actions. Again, I don't see the evidence of that, seems like a boogeyman.

> R rated movies were far more successful at the box office, with lots of questionable content by today’s standards.

Odd to compare 90s box office to today's box office given the impacts of COVID and streaming. We didn't have Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Paramount, HBO Max, Disney Plus, and more. You would need to add all the R-rated movies from those platforms to make a comparison. Either way, 4 of the 5 highest grossing R-rated movies (inflation adjusted) came out after 2000 [1].

> Today, the academic and cultural power brokers are the biggest champions of shutting down “objectionable” speech.

We definitely hear more complaining about it, today. I haven't seen evidence that it actually occurs more frequently. If anything, I see the opposite influence in the race to ban scary books and transgender people. Those ideas aren't coming from "cultural" leaders or "academics".

That said, it is far easier to be gay or transgendered today than the 90s. We also just had a President who described people as ‘fat pigs,’ ‘dogs,’ ‘slobs,’ and ‘disgusting animals.’ He also 'told a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees …” [2] I don't think that would have been a good electoral strategy in the 90s, probably would have gotten him "cancelled."

I have seen and read from @dang often throughout my many years of journey with HN, but never got to know who really is @dang.

Is their true identity a secret? If not, can someone please point me out to their real name. I am just curious about their profile and would like to have a look at their LinkedIn or Twitter if they are on there.

I do not wish to pry open anyone's anonymity and so if their identity is a secret, I am fine with that. I honestly just want to have a look at their journey which sometimes LinkedIn / Twitter / GitHub / individual blogs provide.
You forgot to mention that another war ongoing for 8 years now was also started by Putin.
And when things go to court, like with MH17, all the evidence points that it's russia and its puppets is killing civilian families.
It hasn’t been a ‘paradox’ since at least 2001 when people found fuzzball solutions. Today we get a headline that somebody resolved this ‘paradox’ every month or so and each time they make it sound like this is something new.

There are many ways to describe a quantum black hole, none of them lose information because QM is unitary.

If you think classical mechanics is real than yeah there is a paradox, but that’s like asking why electrons don’t spiral into atoms radiating UV radiation —- no paradox there, that’s what they do in classical mechanics, but we live in a quantum world.
