Is Test Proctoring Software the Future of Work from Home?
I see the shifts toward remote work taking place right now and can't help but think folks are setting themselves up for a let down. I also think younger workers who enter the force in the next couple of years will be familiar with test proctoring software. (https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/29/21232777/examity-remote-test-proctoring-online-class-education/)

I guess my big question is how a WFH employee base could mobilize to stop something like proctoring software from becoming the norm. After all, unlike in a physical plant, workers scattered across the country or the globe in remote teams are not going to have the same chance to organize and garner collective bargaining power if something like this is mandated from the top down.
Man, I am SO excited for that! Kudos!!

Parsing is definitely a big part of it, and it's a fair point that for search-based Code Navigation, we don't have to do any real heavy lifting on the analysis side. That said, I think the article describes our non-functional requirements well (zero-config, incremental, language-agnostic). It's those non-functional requirements which are most important for the “at scale” part. I'd go so far as to suggest that any static analysis implementation that can't meet those requirements would be nigh impossible for us to roll out across the entire GitHub corpus.
Decimal has the same fundamental representation issues that float does, albeit with greater configuration.

70,000 Russian IT professionals have left the country
After reading this entire post, I’m still left wondering what problem this solves for me, beyond fluffy promises of ‘everything is going to be better’.

At the very least I’d want to see a comparison with what we have now, to show me how this is better.

I get that I can try to explore more, but if I don’t get a compelling reason to do so after reading the introductory post, I’m not very motivated to do so

Any motivation I do have completely hinges on the words ‘from the creators of docker’, not on the merits of this particular product itself.
A lot of those are pretty domain specific. Calculus is 10x only because it lets you get into fields where calculus is 10x. I have no idea what a general everyday coder would do with it.

I could list tons of design patterns, like separate mutable and atomic readonly copies of the same data, but they wouldn't be universal, although patterns are wonderful.

The closest thing to a real 10x I know is laziness and respect for best practices, and what I call "decustomization", the art of removing any unusual technology from actual production systems.

Riced desktops? Gone. Custom made productivity apps? Gone. Simple bash scripts to move files around and do backups? Gone. Distro hopping? Extra gone. New JS frameworks? Gone but with napalm. Making your own programming language? Not gone because it never even started.

Any one of these things might not be a big time drain. But the general mindset of DIYing and building "just right" systems all together takes a lot of time.

Learning how to work "inside the box" with standard issue tools, and how to guess ahead of time how much maintenance work anything new will require, and to think in terms of how things fit ecosystems, rather than evaluating things separately, has probably been the most important thing I've learned in tech.

Every time I've done something "unusual" I've been convinced that the core design was better than what's out there. And almost every time, I've regretted it, because a great idea doesn't always make up for a lack of polish and compatibility.

The challenge of course is actually finding anything else you want to be doing with the saved time.

Maybe the data type isn't a pointer, maybe it's an integer handle to a kernel object. And you may still need to free/release it even though it's not a pointer at all.

There are plenty of APIs that have similar semantics (connect/disconnect) that must be followed. And even if something is a pointer doesn't mean you can just free() it -- you might need to use whatever method the API provides to get proper operation.

This is the main abstraction mechanism in C programs -- the abstract data type. A piece of data you pass around but never know the innards of.
>>but has any government yet started planning for the relatively near-instant transformation of the Trucker and Taxi industry

Let me put it this way.... How often do any governments have a plan for changes *beforehand?."

Almost every western country saw "deindustrialization" at some point, predictably cutting off whole cohorts from wages, pensions and lifestyles. None had a plan.

They watched Walmart behead high streets and then watched Amazon behead the survivors. No plan. War is, arguably, the thing we plan and provision for the most. Wartime refugees always seem to take us by surprise.

I'm sure someone somewhere, in theory, had a plan for a pandemic. But when it happened, a whole lot seemed to be off the cuff.

Stuff happens, then we plan and react. At best.
Which version? It wasn't possible last time I checked and Jetbrains had close-no-fix on various related bug reports.
The reality is most people don't give a damn, and the pain isn't high enough yet to make it a major political issue, so the companies "win" by default.

As in many cases, the lobbying is a smoke-screen to the real issue. The increase of the standard deduction dumped a bunch of people into "very simple taxes", but nothing much changes.

I think you overestimate government planning and the amount of infrastructure that will actually be built. For example, assuming autonomous vehicles will get signal preemption, when not even city buses get even signal priority today.
Whatever happened to hemp plastics and other natural non-toxic biodegradable plastics?

It's amazing how the world is letting the oil companies (who make the plastics) poison us and destroy our environment at will. Microplastics even in the blood of babies... Yet, seems to be no sense of urgency to stop this catastrophe and insanity.

It's like driving a car, seeing you are about to go over a cliff, but the foot is still firmly planted on the accelerator.
You should be able to drastically simplify you Jenkinsfile(s) and have them just invoke Dagger. The issue you may run into is when you have different Jenkins nodes for different types of work. You could always invoke Dagger on each of these, depending on your setup and needs. Where there is a will, there is a way, with Jenkins :]
Why I find Linux gaming important?
pretty sure everyone gets an "electronic audit." It's really just a check to see if you claimed all the income that others claimed they gave you.
I would expect that an engineer would recognize that (1) a massive volume of MFA notifications is extremely suspicious and should be reported immediately to security and (2) if they are trying to sleep they can just mute or turn off the phone. This was a major failure of training.

For a nontechnical employee I could get how they could not recognize this as an attack. But if you are getting annoying calls and don't know why, why not just unplug/turn off the phone?

On the other hand, slipping a single MFA notification in during the normal workday seems like a much better approach. Even if the employee doesn't accept the notification, they'd likely assume that it was a tab they opened earlier and closed before finishing the login, not something to report.
Right, but I'm sure there's more out there than just these two. Having a post about photography with minimal photos is somewhat weird.
Hi, I wrote this last month. I just wanted to see if anyone else here shares my opinion on the matter.
I am not a super good writer but anyway.

First submission to HN, sorry if this doesn't fit in.
One thing that I’ve been focusing on lately is “the little things”. Does the interface look nice? Is the font big enough to read 2ft away? How easy is the command to update the software? Have we tested both the backup AND restore workflows? Are they all buttery smooth? Does everything work the way you’d expect right away, out of the box, by default?

The nicer the workflow, the more vanilla the tooling, the more self-evident the naming conventions and related patterns, and the more pleasant the workflow, the more time you avoid wasting. And while it may not sound like much, over time that shit adds up.

We’re talking, cumulatively, about DECADES worth of recovered productivity here, on a small team, over the course of maybe a year or two, tops.

It’s the little things, y’all.

We consider Dagger to be beta-quality. It definitely has bugs, and APIs are still moving, though we make a big effort to limit breaking changes, and help developers migrate when breaking changes do occur. We aim to be able to guarantee complete peace of mind and continuity for production pipelines, but can't make that guarantee yet.

That said, one nice aspect of Dagger is that you don't need to rip and replace your entire system: you can use it in a localized way to solve a specific problem. Then expand over time. It's similar to writing a quick shell script, except it's easier to reuse, refactor and compose over time.
That makes perfect sense, and I believe you’re right about the eventual influence that trickles down from Twitter (though I think a lot of the vitriol gets diluted in the process). n=1, I would have had a much better initial impression of the site if the Twitter connection/methodology was more explicit. Especially if you explained your purpose for the connection, as you’ve done here.

Why would anyone like or dislike tools? I don't like or dislike my toilet plunger. I would prefer it to be designed to get the job done quickly rather than wow me with the experience of using it.

Someone can certainly enjoy cooking in a fancy kitchen or making a table in the garage. That's an equivalent of programming and provides mental and aesthetic challenge. Or one can have a hobby of collecting and appreciating a particular kind of tools like lighters or retro computers.

But the success of an average computer today is to fade into background and be unnoticed and unappreciated, safe for provoking annoyance in rare cases when something breaks, as all tools do sometimes.

Once the driving is automated, what would prevent us from having a "fully" automated package delivery infrastructure? The roadblocks that come to mind (Box & labeling standardization, warehouse automations like pickers/packers/unpackers) all seem like much simpler problems than automated driving.

I may be grossly oversimplifying the issue :)
This is one of the reasons I wish drivers would stop trying to let me cross the street when they could just drive past. Most of the time I can't see them clearly enough to make eye contact and be sure that they are not just lost/confused (I live in a tourist town with diabolical roads so that's pretty common).
It's hard to please everyone, and data-loss is kind of a trump concern, but actually macOS does because it has this feature. The keyboard shortcut is cmd+option+shift+escape but you can probably remap that.

I force quit apps all the time, sometimes even because I want them to restore their exact state. In a lot of apps, the macOS state restoration works great, possibly better than actually quitting them.

FYI: Alternatives include: Cash App Taxes https://cash.app/taxes and FreeTaxUSA https://www.freetaxusa.com/

I had started my taxes this year with TurboTax, but it wasn't loading some of my investments automatically, which was one of the big plusses it brought to the table.

One minus reported by HN users on a thread yesterday is that CashApp Taxes require you to install their app to login, you login by scanning a QR code on your phone and the app logs you in.

Last night I started with CashApp Taxes, and it looks pretty good. Other reviewers here yesterday were saying they had done both and preferred FreeTaxUSA, so I was going to get started over there and see which one I liked best.
nope. it was an intentional trade off with respect to compilation speed. once generics have baked for a bit with real world usage said decision will almost certainly be revisited.

edit: for example one could envision the compiler generates the top n specializations per generic function based on usage and then uses the current stuff non-specialized version for the rest.
The Tesla pedestrian AEB systems (and those on any vehicle made in the last 5 years) are pretty good regardless.

This is such a wild and kind of heartbreaking psychological loop you see people fall into time and time again:

1. Get legitimately good at some thing.

2. Become known for being better at that thing than others.

3. Have that reputation become a key part of their identity and self esteem.

4. Feel an internal pressure to keep getting even better at that thing to get more of that esteem.

5. Hit a wall where they are unable to honestly progress.

6. When forced to choose between sacrificing a pillar of their identity or their own personal integrity, crumble and start cheating.

7. The cheating buys them some time but the self esteem boost requires not just skill but continual progress. Now that they are already morally compromised, it's easier to continue to cheat.

8. Eventually, in order to appear to keep getting better, the cheating becomes egregiously obvious.

9. Downfall.

It's exactly like watching a drug addict build up a tolerance to their chemical of choice.
100%, and even aside from cost I personally don't want another thing with batteries to manage. Elastomeric respirators can be even more comfortable with a better seal, and cheaper over repeated wear. Probably what I'll do if I need to be outdoors in heavy smoke again this year.
Yes, those commands write the variables to a file, though you could also make a system call instead from within your app if you didn't want them in a file or environment variables.

The language SDKs (including ruby) wrap the envkey-source binary, which is where all the decryption and verification logic lives:

https://docs-v2.envkey.com/docs/envkey-source

There is an -m/--mem-cache flag that you can pass to envkey-source that makes it work just as you're describing. It keeps the variables in RAM and listens for updates, keeping them all up-to-date.
Wow that would be awesome! Shapes/Records are definitely the #1 thing I'm missing from moving over from TypeScript.

I started thinking about this a bit and I came up with the conclusion that the single biggest difference between structs and shapes is really iterating over keys. I spent some time trying to create structs by which you could iterate over all the keys and all the solutions seemed clunky or inelegant.

> I know exactly what you mean, but this is not what Eric Rees means by the term.

Frank Robinson coined the Minimum Viable Product. This is what he had to say about it:

"The MVP is the right-sized product for your company and your customer. It is big enough to cause adoption, satisfaction and sales, but not so big as to be bloated and risky."

Steve Blank is credited with popularizing the term. Here he emphasizes that the MVP is about reaching sustainability for the company. What he calls an 'MVP tree', which produces potential MVP candidates, may be closer to what we're discussing here.

"An MVP tree is a way of methodically breaking your mission into smaller components and formulating MVP candidates that may get your company sustainable and scalable."

Ries, whoever he is, was free to make up his own definition, just as I can define the sky to be the hot molten lava deep inside the earth, but his definition does not match the usage of its originator nor is it in alignment with how (most) everyone else uses the term.

BTW, humans are not ready for bad weather either, even though we drive in it all the time. However with driverless cars we will collect statistics proving it isn't ready and never noticing that it is better than humans.

There are fictional plot lines that involve using atmospheric/space noise as the methods for creating one time cypher pads for the ultimate in security. How much of that is based in reality is not known to me, but I know Tom Clancy used this type of encryption as a plot device.

For one time use cyphers or other non-realtime use, it seems like a good source. For realtime back and forth computer negotiating it seems to be much less useful.

Just filed mine yesterday with FreeTaxUSA, would recommend their services. Found it to be straightforward, explained stuff I didn’t understand, and as far as I could tell, they didn’t try to trick me into paying for extra stuff. They presented a deluxe option for sure, but didn’t implement some dark pattern that made it impossible to go the free route for federal (state costs money, mine cost $15).

I find it to be almost the opposite for movies. Yes, it's rare to find something unique, but after starting watching at least a movie per week, I'm now getting references I would never have gotten otherwise and put the movies in a completely different light.

For example, you're not gonna fully appreciate the latest spider-man movie unless you already watched the whole 3 series.

Or the other day, I was watching Ted (the teddy bear movie) and they recreated the dancing scene from Airplane. If I had never seen Airplane, I would probably still have laughed, but I wouldn't truly have gotten the joke.

Or in the Doctor Sleep movie, there's a story being told, but the Director also tried to reconcile The Shining movie, The Shining novel with the Doctor Sleep novel. You don't truly experience the movie fully unless you've experienced all of them.

I don't know for other media, but I find movie makers tend to be very meta and you gain as much by having seen all the low fruits as you lose by doing so.
That money won't be enough. Those people are simply broken, most of them aren't being fixed no matter how many resources we throw at them.

Convincing us that we should let people do what they want with drugs and somehow...that it is also our responsibility to pick up the pieces for these people as a consequence, it sounds like hypocrisy. Deflecting that society was responsible for the drug abuse in the first place (by letting people be poor and closing the mental hospitals) isn't going to convince many people that we should allow drug abuse and pay for the consequences as well.
