Hence the "(effectively)" in front of inconsequential. This isn't something that will definitely and automatically result in a lot of damage, it usually won't cause any damage at all (especially if people work on desktop machines in an office that opens to a small number of badges). It may be a vector for a critical breach if enough stars align, and there happens to be an attacker nearby that is motivated, capable and willing to take the risk, and the machine is completely unobserved for long enough, but for most people, that's going to be pretty rare. Setting a short non-overridable screensaver delay is still a good idea, and screen locking should be part of security trainings and all that. It's one possible vector for deep penetration and should be treated accordingly.

But if you're effectively harassing people out of a part of their salary, I'd expect the reason to be something truly overridingly critical, and in all settings where I've seen this sort of rule instituted, it was far from that – and if it were, why would you resort to bottom-up hazing to control that risk? That disincentivizes actually improving security (by giving people another pretext to depend on uncompromised user machines), oversights absolutely will still happen and any damage that actually does occur will be hidden and conceiled even harder, since now you've created an emotional link to public shaming and people respond to that viscerally.
Our team is just doing a regular scrum. Two-week sprints; daily scrums to synchronise and plan the work for the day; regular backlog refinements and sprint plannings to determine which tasks should be worked on next; a sprint review; and a retrospective to find out the pain points from the last sprint.

Also, meetings to make collective decisions about ongoing work as needed.

This and a Slack channel has been working well for us. We don't record zoom calls, but write down the minutes with concrete action points. I don't think we had many more 1:1's.

Not directly a software development team but also consulting grouped by location and/or project.

We have a permant meeting open the whole day where everybody is free to join. Normally, it is started in the morning and a few people will join. After initial chit-chat everbody is doing their work either with the microphone off or on. When there are short topics to be discussed or questions arise it is directly done in the meeting and for bigger topics a new meeting/call is setup with the people involved. So most of the time it is quiet but you only hear the typing of your colleagues.

It basically mimics an open space office and direct human interaction where you can ask questions and overhear interesting topics with the advantage of being able to simply leave (or lower the volume) when you have a meeting or need absolute silence.

Additionally, we have a coffee break meeting in the afternoon for half an hour, that is also not obligatory, in which you can small-talk with your colleagues.

So, in total we have lots of opportunities to interact with colleagues but nothing is mandatory.
This is really cool, but before you may use it you must give out your name and a phone number. I was almost taken in by it, but OpenAI is and probably always will be invasive and overbearing. It's really a shame.

No, I don't think trickle-down theory is working for anyone except the propagandists who propose it as anything less than a plain insult to people with less. Are you actually suggesting that Reagonomics was not an outright fraud?
Agreed.

But I think the accident severity distribution for a nuclear power plan is dramatically more heavy tailed than that for other severity distribution for other power sources. That is, the impact of an individual accident for a nuclear plant can reasonably be orders of magnitude beyond the impact for a non nuclear plant.

I don’t think that’s usually taken into account and I do think that swings the cost benefit analysis into a net negative relative to other options.
Intresting concept.

That sort of shit happened after the Balkan wars, too. A lot of weaponry from that era, anything from WW1-era guns to modern grenades, found its way into virtually every major conflict zone in the world, and to this day, if you speak good enough Croatian and somewhat know whom to ask and how, you can buy all kinds of arms - just recently, a group connected to various factions of the German far-right got hauled in front of the courts for a weapons smuggling ring [1].

Second Factor Authentication
This is a comment I've added to this post on dev.to https://dev.to/kevincox/maybe-passwords-are-the-future-4gdl I think it may be interested to Hacker News readers.

I don't think that passwords are needed at all. The reason they exists is to verify that you are you. There are better way of doing it. But I yet to see good solution.

The problem the password solve is that you say once that you're you and then again you verify that you're you. But password are solution that are create very long ago, when there were no other way of authentications.

I think that 2FA solution where 2nd A is the only A is the way to go. But it need to way better automated so it have better UX.

I was once thinking about Personal OAuth solution, where user browser act as OAuth provider that can verify that she is she. Or something like LastPass but that will allow to register to the service, not only store passwords.

All those password managers are just a patch/hack on broken system with password. It would be easier to just remove all password and start a better way of user authentication.

Solving password problem is great way to start a new Startup around the idea. Having app on a phone that act as OAuth with single button sign in like with physical Token would be really great idea for a startup that will get rid of passwords. Since with 2FA you actually don't need that 1st step with password. The app will only work similar to LastPass, Physical token and Authenticator App.

The flow can work like this:

* You login on a website with email or username only

* Request is send to the service

* Popup show up on your phone (that can be restricted with PIN, like Bank mobile app of someone want better security)

* User tap the button

* Service authenticate the user on the site

To resister to a website:

* You type username or email and QR Code show up on the screen

* You scan the code with the app

* And you only need one password for the Service. This can be called 2ndFA Second Factor Authentication.

The normal process of registration with password and email will only happen with The Service.
Modern art has loads of examples of people making all sorts of things. Picasso is notable for mastering realism before going into abstract art. Realism still goes strong today and still serves as a foundation for learning art professionally before branching out into individual styles.

And I’m not saying realism is the pinnacle of art. I’m an artist myself. I just know that virtually every society made rapid gains into mastering realism pretty quickly, but I don’t know of any examples of truly realistic work or high craftsmanship in the European Middle Ages until cathedrals became a big thing.

My amazement isn’t that this is “realistic=good”, it’s that amateurs can’t crank something like this out easily. That’s what makes it impressive—someone was either devoting loads of leisure time to studying the human form and how to represent it independently 3500 years ago, or people were being taught it. Most people who do some art today with loads of resources at their hands and leisure time but no formal education don’t reach this point, which makes it all the more impressive that ancient people did. Egypt is also flooded with impressive work and people are amazed with it 6000 years later, and I used to think they were unique. But I’m seeing more and more that societies basically everywhere achieved similar degrees of craftsmanship.

Proton and SimpleLogin are joining forces
In 2009, David A. Wheeler wrote a comprehensive article covering problems with Unix/Linux/POSIX filenames¹. Given that the OS naïvely treats filenames as a simple stream of bytes, he advocated that developers use UTF-8 for encoding filenames. He mentioned the issue of multiple normalisation systems being used to encode characters that have more than one Unicode representation but glossed over it because such problems are “overshadowed by the terrible awful even worse problems caused by filenames all being in random unguessable charsets”.

I’m guessing that, by now, most developers on Unix-like systems would be using UTF-8 for filenames – though a decade after these articles were published, there still doesn’t seem to be any good/universal solution to the problem of characters with multiple Unicode representations.

Google "upgrading" services to suspension:

"Discontinued in 2012, the G Suite legacy free edition has provided access to premium Google Apps features for over 10 years. On June 1, 2022, Google will begin upgrading G Suite legacy free edition accounts to Google Workspace."

"If you do not take action by June 1, 2022, Google will begin transitioning your organization to a new Google Workspace subscription. To complete the transition and avoid account suspension, enter your billing details in your Admin Console before August 1, 2022."
Yeah this one actually pisses me off about the iPad. The Mac calculator in RPN mode is my goto but on iOS, nope!
I agree, knowing people that sell drugs doesn’t mean you’re “inclined” to do anything. The only thing is you can’t really accept heroin to sell.
This is also the reason why I use XFCE. It hasn’t materially changed for years and is just fine.
> I can get why the people who worked hard on it and spent money building it don't want to be associated with porn.

Why? Is there something inherently wrong with porn? Is it not noble to supply a base human need, based on some arbitrary cultural artifact that you possess?
I've heard about this many times before but how prevalent is this actually today? It's hard to be racist if it requires detailed ancestry analysis. I've never heard it mentioned in Japanese media.

The only ways I could imagine it occurring is maybe trying to join big old Japanese companies (but a background check of that nature seems like it would still be - legally? - difficult) or perhaps marriage into a super traditional home which there can't be many of now.
+1 for the Vonnegut reference

Tldr Harrison Bergeron is a satire of the desire to make all outcomes equal. Worth a read.
Absolutely! I distinctly remember when i was learning to develop with PHP, and i specifically chose the mysql over mysqli extension (it was at the time mysql was starting to get deprecated because it was vulnerable to SQL injections and what not) because "I don't care about security, it's just a blog I'm developing, nobody would even know it exists".
That's never going to happen. I guarantee it.

At what point do you think individual adults should be responsible for their own decisions?

“No capacity or understanding of the financials” makes it sound like these fully grown functioning adults had a learning disability. These people had access to the internet, books, libraries, financial services, and more. If these people were ignorant of the true costs it was willful ignorance.
Just like gas as energy for transport, plastics are difficult to replace. Their main advantage is that they can package food and greatly improve their conservation and transport. This is also true for medical supplies.

A potential solution would be to use standardized glass packaging, and encourage consumers to return them and reimburse them, but it would be complex logistics, and it would be heavier to transport. It would also mean a change of shape for food packaging.

Even metal is not a perfect solution, since metal also has a plastic layer inside. To be honest, even the lid of glass bottles has a layer of plastic, too.

How do they do this and stay connected? I remember seeing a guy that did this in a van while subscribing to multiple wireless providers. But as far as I am aware Australia still doesn't have the best coverage, service and technology. Moreover, if you're going out more remote locations, I'm sure your connection options start to dwindle.

I'm sure Starlink (maybe oneweb too?) and the WFH movement is going to change this equation quite drastically.
Nonsense. You can treat Throw like a fancy "goto the nearest catch" if you want to. It works fine.

What is this west obsession with euphemisms?

"False stories", "Fakes" - we have a better word for that - "Lies", that captures the exact purpose of those artifacts - which is to deceive others.
Sorry but not getting to point of cycle-accurate emulation of recent x86 CPUs. What could possibly benefit ? The performance is going to be a disaster compared to say qemu....
the curse of vim.
Even in that scenario you’re still vulnerable to DNS sniffing and injection. These aren’t theoretical concerns, they’re real-world actively explored vulnerabilities. And if you still don’t care, well, that’s why you can turn DoH off.
I don't have a MacBook Air either despite writing that. I sold it and bought a 14" MacBook Pro. That's still better.
Article claims it’s not possible to emulate a Pentium III at full speed on an Apple M1, and so there’s no point to a fork attempting this feat. But isn’t that exactly what Rosetta 2 does?
The surround sound and HRTF on the PlayStation 5 exceeds my expectations. On the famous tech conference, they talked about calibrating the sound space relative your ears to get the best possible surround feel, but that's yet to come.

I'm so harsh with Windows 95 here because back then I found out about other desktops (e.g. on Unix) that had better UI. Several workspaces, ability to drag windows not only by grabbing the title bar, clicking the scroll bar to the scroll place you need (instead of having to drag it all the way there), launching programs by other means than a non ending hierarchy of menus. Not to mention that anything not Windows was more stable. Also Unix/Linux was multi user and solid enough to run read services on the same machine (even if it was the same little piece of junk your Windows 98 had come with in the first place).

Exploring the world beyond Windows felt like finally seeing how the real pros do it. That is why I absolutely can't understand the starry eyed reverence people have for sorry "OSes" like Windows 95/98.

TLDR: Windows 95/98 wasn't the pinncacle of UI even when it came out, so it definitely isn't today.
Sounds like Sauron’s pitch with rings of power to Men…. It’s great, you’ll be a member of a VERY exclusive club and get to work with all sorts of special features. Don’t worry that you wake up some nights in the small hours with a vague empty feeling…
Or just boot into rescue mode ( e when it asks which kernel you want to boot with, and append init=/bin/bash ; on newer OSes there's a special systemd rescue mode but no idea if it's present on Raspbian).
look at xi editor, it doesn't "really" work out even if it's not a technical one but a human one. It's just too much work to maintain 3-4 GUI applications which have to be in sync with a server api.
I don't like the metacommentary on this thread so much. The fact that the first two commends are dislike-like and the rest are like-dislike really ruins it for me.
I use a single file, with standard headers, with a new entry for each day. I use `org-diary` to manage that:

https://github.com/skx/org-diary

Every morning I run `org-diary-new-entry` which inserts a new block. At the end of the day I commit this to a git repository and push it away for safety. I've got a work-log/journal going back a couple of years at this point.
Rosetta 2 is not cycle accurate to a Pentium III.

That's AIUI what box86 targets on the CPUs it supports emulating.
Something alluded to, but not really elaborated on, is what the motivation is for emulating progressively newer CPUs, versus virtualizing them.

With old hardware, the sort I imagine 86Box is mainly used to emulate (it's how I use it, anyway), old OSes rely on specific behavior of old systems and peripherals that can't be easily virtualized through KVM + QEMU or the like. A mixture of processors being too fast and behaving subtly different, possibly due to differences in "undefined behavior".

I doubt there's a binary cutoff point where it's obviously more useful to virtualize or emulate, but it's obvious that emulating an 80386 is ideal, and virtualizing a "Core 2 Duo" is ideal, for running software from those respective periods. Is the Pentium III desirable to emulate, and simply not computationally feasible, or is this just people wanting to make cool things for cool things' sakes? Or a little of both?
I think something that sentiment misses is that “it is not a programming language” because of vested interests intentionally corrupt the law code, especially over time.

For example; the US Constitution is a relatively clean OS. First law/loop should check for whether any particular issue of consideration is explicitly delegated to the United States Government (10th amendment), if not, then it is exited to states. The problem here is that the OS has been so corrupted by the vested interests that they’ve tried using the federal OS for everything under the sun and it’s corrupting and clearly breaking by making it do things it not only was never intended to, but the makers of the best OS in human history explicitly warned never to do any of the things that have been done and the documentation very clearly explains why not to do them because it will destroy the whole system that everything relies on that everyone takes for granted.
The risk, and I see that currently in non-software functions, is hiring people from big corps that know how to manage the people that solved those scale/... problems instead of the problems themselves. With the result that those senior people default back to building an organization that looks like the one they are used to. Which doesn't solve a single one of those solved problems.

Quite likely to happen of the founders / existing hiring managers have no idea themselves how big corp solved these problems.
Funny. Every time I read a BBC article, I have the impression I'm getting a lobotomy.

The bias is so strong, more often than not you can make out from the title in which direction the article is going to be twisted.

I think CGI is getting worse for the same reason video games are getting worse - reaching 70% of a result can be done with 10% of the effort it took decades ago, but reaching 100% is not getting easier - you need tons of incredibly talented and dedicated engineers who have a very deep understanding of CG and come up with a bespoke solution.

An example in movies would be the video the Corridor guys did on the Terminator 2 shot where the T-1000 phases through the prison bars - the VFX team on the movie essentially built a fluid simulation engine to get it right. The fact that they were able to recreate the effect on a shoestring budget speaks volumes of their talent and the evolution of tooling, but it doesn't look nearly as good:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXehBx0Yc_w

Another example from the field of video games would be Back 4 Blood vs Left 4 dead - the insane amount of care and effort Valve put into minute details cannot be replicated by faster tools and more computing power:
