Is he the security guy in charge of the physical building or some other physical security controls or is he the security guy in charge of IT and computer software systems?

For one of those options I would say it should be of no concern at all. For the other it would be a red flag to me especially if you run a mix of different operating systems because in order to appropriately evaluate security one must have some passing familiarity with the common tools of those operating systems.

Unfortunately my experience in the industry tells me that this security guy probably actually has a job title of security and compliance officer or some such thing. Usually what that means is 99% of what they do is compliance with predefined security requirements and they have no actual ability to understand security and the implications of choices in security. They simply have a compliance check sheet that they run through and you are considered secure and in compliance when you can properly check all the boxes or properly note all of the exceptions. There is very little real IT security that goes on in most places.
That's what I meant by being a needle rather than a haystack -- one of many Keycloak instances rather than client to one big SaaS provider.

BTW Keycloak.current has tossed JBoss & friends for Quarkus. In any case, it's been a remarkably safe product over the years.
Did Columbia game the U.S. News college rankings with sketchy data?
I've worked at a shop with a lot of legacy code and a very fragile build environment. The myriad of scripts that source scripts that source other scripts to produce a working build were all written in KSH - as well as the majority of the tools to set up an environment to actually run the software. Since these scripts were intended to be sourced, adding a shebang doesn't solve the issue at all.

Fortunately, zsh can operate in ksh emulation mode [1] so I was able to leverage zsh while I was there to some extent.

The system I worked on there is still being actively used and developed today and still relies on a fragile set of ksh scripts to build and run in certain environments.

Halfway through the article I was wondering if it wouldn't be possible to write an ELF wrapper for a.out binaries. I was pleasantly surprised to not be the first person to consider that, and that it turned out to be easy to do.
You omitted half of that quote. OP is talking about small companies and indie developers.
There's a reason these major religions have lasted thousands of years, making the history of a country like America look short in comparison. Say what you will about them, but they obviously have value in that many of the most prosperous civilizations in the world today came from these traditions and still follow their general moral guidelines.
Git is distributed. Just change the remote to GitHub or a different VCS and the full commit history will be pushed as well.
Ask HN: Go-To Source for AI/ML and Big Data Read?
I recently joined an enterprise software startup as a marketing specialist. Being kind of new to the tech world, I'm trying to find the most relevant and credible contents for my daily read to navigate developer culture. So, seeking help here from HN community: what is your favorite publication/platform for quality read? It would be super helpful if you could state your job function as well. Million thanks!
Not red, but maybe yellow depending on what they're actually doing. I know some security guys that can't use vim. They're basically firewall / network guys.

Yes! 100% a red flag.
Anything that can statically link and compile to native is super easy to deploy in my experience.

Go and Rust have been really easy in my experience. Needing a runtime installed, and making sure it's the right version usually isn't a big deal, but once and a while it can be a pain. I thankfully haven't had issues with linking to things like libc via Rust.

In the same vein, Docker is a real hero in my experience with deployments. Get it working locally and we're almost always good to go. You'll need Docker installed, but that's pretty easy to guarantee in most environments. Also, almost all PaaS that I see these days support Docker out of the box, which is awesome to see.
The wild thing about this article is less the article content, and more the realization that I know adult humans less self aware than what is described in corvids.
> the whole title is clickbait. he got insurance.

Those fees are crazy nonetheless.

I don't have any insurance and during the last 1.5 years I suffered symptomatic Covid (medicines and vaccines free), then a road accident with multiple fractures: left arm, right shoulder, both wrists and L4, (nearly 2 months hospitalized plus long rehab to learn to walk again: all free excluding the fees for printing the medical data, which were over 400 pages, and MRI/RX/CT images DVDs: around 20 Euros all included), then last January I got a heart attack and was hospitalized in a coronary care unit for 4 days plus 1 day at the ward where I was planted two stents: again all free including the 1st bag of medicines.

20 years ago I worked in the IT, pays were very good and therefore taxes were high, but all considered, in the end I got a lot more than I paid for. I could think of a thousand things I don't like at all about my country, but healthcare is definitely not one of them.

I still think the Dreamcast was my favourite system of all time. Compact, efficient, amazing graphics for its day, networking capable, and a great library of games (although many without well known franchises in the US). Powerstone 2 is to this day my favourite multiplayer fighter/platformer.
I don’t think it’s coincidence that stories like this are cropping up shortly after Microsoft started algorithmitizing the GitHub feed. https://www.theregister.com/AMP/2022/03/23/github_for_you/

OP is talking about a desktop environment, where mini / micro USB wasn't the problem.

For a mobile device with only a single port, I think making that port USB-C is undeniably the best move. But for a desktop or laptop with four, six, eight ports with different functionalities... That's the point of OP's post.
Wget?
But people HATE pay as you go installed apps. Take Word, (MS office), for example. The way I see it, I downloaded this software, it is fully available on my computer taking up space, but I have to pay you for the key to just use it? Somehow that feels different than going to a website where I don't even have access to the application without paying.

> In addition to pronouns, let's include emojis that we feel identify ourselves

I assume that was sarcastic, but why not? Do you have any right to choose the emoji to identify me? I mean, you surely have every right to editorialise with an emoji that you think reflects my behaviour, but, if you're going to quote me below a symbolic representation, then I think it's different. If one has to use an emoji to identify someone—and it's not at all clear to me that it's necessary—then, after all, we're talking about who has reached out; why not just ask them?

(For example, surely—right?—we can agree that it would be bad to say "a user from India gave this testimonial:", or whatever—unless the place of origin is relevant, and you actually know it. I don't see much difference between these two.)

What does speaking to a human accomplish? Your ticket was probably reviewed by a real person. If you called instead of ticketing, you'd talk to the same person, which now means responses would be slower because phone calls take more time than ticket handling. The phone person won't be any more empowered than the ticket person, so you'll still not have the issue resolved. The only difference is that there's a human to yell at.
>But a browser escape is different than obtaining root on an OS that doesnt even enable root by default

A linux LPE is worth a small fraction of the money a Firefox escape is. Far easier to come by, far weaker defences.

At least tails seems to use network namespaces now, so deanonymization without root might not be as trivial as it was before.
> murders of civilians were minimal.

But nobody (AFAIK) is contesting that the US killed more civilians in Iraq or in Syria (or second-order in Libya) than Russia has killed in Ukraine.

Your argument is that people perceive it as okay because the intentions were good? Our government could not forsee that these people would die, it was unexpected?

Or were they unintended consequences that were foreseen? I don't believe such a distinction is defensible, if you foresee the consequence and do it anyways, you intended such a consequence.
Open source (and by extension a large chunk of software industry) runs on the expectation that people won't do random disruptive things even if it is plainly stated in the license that there is no such guarantee. Perhaps we should move away from this expectation (and events such as these will certainly accelerate the transition), but this is the current state of affairs.

Ligotti's body of work constitutes perhaps the longest suicide note, and perhaps also the one most "writerly" in its composition, thus far in human history. That the act has yet to be consummated detracts little from this accomplishment, but one may to no less use or benefit spend time perusing road accident footage.
Hey Sasha :) Price should be justified by value to the customer, not overhead costs of the company. Even though your value/benefits are listed on the site, this is a good opportunity to reiterate them.
This is a “what about … “ response.

The only important thing is if they are going to invest in new staff in the future. The old staff almost certainly have new jobs in new companies.

Let’s not move the goal posts. Having reason to invest in enhancing documentation, and creating a viable revenue stream by doing so is a good thing, even if decisions in the past are regrettable.

> My iPhone 5S is still able to make calls and send messages as well as take pictures. So is my iPhone 7. Except that both have broken lightning ports that I had to replace

That doesn't correlate to my experience. My iPhone 5S:

- Cannot make calls or text, because the towers that power 3G have been shut down.

- Charges perfectly fine over lightning

- Is stuck on iOS 12

- Takes pictures (we agree on this one!)

Meanwhile, it needs a new battery to have a longer lifespan. That's the only single point of failure.

I'll contrast that to the various Android devices, where the first point of failure is the USB port.

I will say, at one point I thought that the lightning port was failing. A piece of trash had gotten trapped in it. Removing the blockage fixed the problem.
Because that group values personal ownership of technology, and their aversion to the "you will own nothing and be happy" philosophy as antithetical to their own.
These have existing exactly the same in C# for a bit, and they’re fantastic bits of sugar — null checking comes up everywhere so its a low-impact high-volume benefit; looking at it as a one-off is pointless (see fstrings as a similar change)

> mangle_from_ = policy?.mangle_from_ ?? True

This scenario is the largest gain — nested nullable references is a massive pain, especially when you go deeper. It’s trivially superior to nested ternary or if statements.

IMO the benefits easily make it a worthwhile sugar to add — the only concern is whether it fits the python “aesthetic”; which to me is a flat no, but at the same time it seems like the walrus operator will be the defining moment of that aesthetic era coming to an end
> The scientists analysed blood samples from 22 anonymous donors, all healthy adults and found plastic particles in 17. Half the samples contained PET plastic, which is commonly used in drinks bottles, while a third contained polystyrene, used for packaging food and other products. A quarter of the blood samples contained polyethylene, from which plastic carrier bags are made.

That's a crazy high percentage, but to be honest I'm not surprised in the least. The platic pollution in our lifetime is outstanding. Its really hard to get rid of plastics in my life but I'm very happy that many grocery stores here in Seattle are supplied with products that are trying to get away from plastics entirely
Right. If the headline said, "Alcohol-related deaths spike when people lose their jobs" it wouldnt be a surprise. The pandemic was unique and had many complicating factors that impacted lots of groups in different ways.
Man, I've been wondering this for years .. I could never find the right terminology to discuss it. It also kinda means reality is a wave that we propagate down the lineage tree.
> As I said, my usage is closer to calling a thing “free” if I consume it without paying for it, and importantly it doesn’t matter who receives the bill.

Well then that's exactly, word for word, what OP did. How are you confused if you use it the exact same way?
>There’s just isn’t enough checking and counter-arguing, full stop.

Sure but why? Lets focus on politics as it's at the centre of all this.

The usual or normal stake in society is virtually no discussion about politics. Once every few years you pick a representative and then you can ignore politics because you can't change anything. You ought to be talking about that local sports team or that new tv show. This changed in recent years, I'm not really familiar with this ever happening before. Politics is beyond represented in common discussion today but you CANNOT argue. Dont dare take a side or else you get labelled an *ist.

You will also notice that all thought commanders in the field of politics are either comedians or lawyers; while the actual politicians tend to be lawyers or celebrities. None of those 3 groups are allowed to speak their mind or argue.

The battlefield of thought is where this isn't true. You can find this battleground where the comedians and lawyers interview.

The prevailing theory also has the blame on the "STEM" movement in that highly qualified people left social sciences toward STEM leaving a huge talent gap in the social sciences. In addition to the reality of social media utterly destroying mainstream media. Just look at the fall of CNN to political activists.

What does matter is that we have a new hyper awareness of politics. The left wing right wing false dichotomy has collapsed. Why is it the universities used to be for free speech and are now certainly not?

It's also super important to notice how unsuccessful major protests have been. BLM, who literally represent something clearly broken, very clearly the USA should fix their objective racist and brutal police force. The USA absolutely needs to fix the multitude of problems along these lines. However they have received absolutely no fix. They have had major protests and riots all over and nobody at all in government is willing to fix it. You're not allowed to argue or even discuss this.

However, if you try to argue or point any of this out. You become a nazi or racist or whatever ist they decide upon.

Hopefully you can see why arguing has become impossible. It's not just politics, but politics is the center. Race, Gender, Drugs, environmentalism, guns, etc. Tons of things you are simply not allowed to argue about.

OP knows this as well which is why he discusses Watermelons. He actively goes out of his way to discuss something that nobody discusses because it's the only way to avoid hitting a subject you're not allowed to discuss. He could have discussed how everyone in Toronto lives in an igloo.

Why is this happening? One side of politics has decided that society is on the brink of collapse if not extinction. This is a matter of life or death.

Unfortunately, I made a huge mistake in this post. I argued.
On node-ipc and the importance of trusting trust
The comment in question, and others provided that evidence: statements from customers that they were still waiting on their bikes, several years after ordering.

I guess they want to keep the free tier primarily for personal use or companies evaluating the product.

In this case it makes sense for them to apply these changes and other users will have to see whether it makes sense to pay for the service.
The project start as a side project (yet another side project I do the night and weekend) but was quickly promoted and used in a French Big Retail Company.

This one trust on the project and decide to go production with Kestra. So they decide to inject some resource in order to develop some features that need and that is missing.

But basically, not so much people for now. We are trying to start a community around the product and started to communicate around the product since few weeks only, I hope community will follow us! And I hope to succeed like on my other open source project: https://github.com/tchiotludo/akhq

Elasticsearch has built in horizontal scaling abilities, unlike Postgres/other SQL databases. It also has integrations with cloud providers for peer discovery, or can use DNS. Once a new data node is detected and reachable, the masters will start sending it shards of data, distributing the load. This all happens without any user intervention. I can't really speak to cost, it is somewhat easy to blow up the memory usage in Elastic for sure, but I can't say its been more expensive than similarly sized Postgres clusters.
The point is that applying copyright law to music leads to absurd outcomes. It is a bad idea, and ought to be abolished.

YouTube Kids is mostly safe, but there's a small chance kids could see nudity, violence, or just weird stuff, as well as ads for stuff like junk food. Our study found that 27% of videos watched by kids 8 and under are intended for older target audiences, with violence being the most likely negative content type. . . . On the plus side for parents, YouTube offers fair warning that kids may see something that you don't want them to see and you can block and report inappropriate videos.

I am a LFTR stan, but:

"War, climate worries and oil prices make nuclear power attractive"

should be:

"War, climate worries and oil prices make ALTERNATIVE ENERGY attractive"

The economics of alternative energy + storage is basically a victory in LCOE terms, and the cost / technology curve of solar and storage and the economies of scale are still in ramp-up. So this will go from a "close narrow victory" to a landslide in five years.

What nuclear project will be under ten years to delivery? What is the LCOE price point they are contending with to be marketplace competitive? No one knows this, but I would shoot for 1/3 the current nuclear LCOE at a minimum, probably 1/4.

Again, I geeked out over LFTR presentations. Modular, safe, 99% fuel use/no solid rod waste, online products extaction, no long-term isotopes, "burn/breed" existing long-term waste into usable fuel, brayton cycle.

It doesn't matter, economics are a clear win for alternative energy from a 10 year standpoint. Nuclear and Fusion should simply be research projects at this point.

If energy security is the goal, then all-in on alternative energy and EV transportation is the goal. I'm not saying tear down existing generation. Just phase it out as soon as possible
