I think the unspoken fear is that the person knows the technical side and could threaten to cut the middle manager out of the equation if they ever met senior management. A lot of this goes on in middle management. Never forget people are basically social apes. This is why those who climb the ladder are guaranteed to be sociopaths/psychopaths.
Surely there are people of all different nationalities that share that thought? Seems weird to make it only about Americans.
really need a tool that whitelists cookie sites so any that i dont want to keep cookies for it will delete when i close the site.

I feel like your comment is going to get some hate and I realize medication isn’t for everybody but it’s the primary reason for my career being moderately successful.

I’ve been on basically the same dose for 15 years now and while it’s hard to say what my life would have been like without it I’m not sure I would have held a job for very long.

The best glimpses I get are like right now when I’m preparing for bed my thoughts are everywhere. I remember vaguely how easily distracted I was and how I self medicated a bit with alcohol.

Anyway, it works for me! I’m sure others have strategies that work for them.
This is pretty specific to web development. Many companies have mountains of code written in languages that have been around for decades, and don't expect you to pick up the latest framework to be relevant.

Eventually I hope web development grows up and quits chasing the next great framework as if it will somehow make their life better or their work easier. SQUIRREL! SQUIRREL!

The other 3.5b who aren't online yet. They're the 20 at the end of the 80:20 solution we deployed for all the metro/urban and economically exploitable agri locations. They're the ones with zero persisting power and infra unrelated to telecoms, who share one honda generator with a village, who have to walk 20km to get antibiotics, who pay middlemen a cut of every transaction, who live in debt bondage.

The ITU made a high frontier claim that was their core mission in the 10-20 year window. They made this claim 10 years ago. I'm not seeing strong evidence its being solved, aside from trickle down re-purposing of old 3G systems and Chinese investment in not-very-good infra to offset their coltan mining in Africa.

An accquaintance lives 10km outside metro Bangkok. It's an amazing city and its as plugged in and switched on as anywhere else in Asia, the rats nest of wires is a testament to ad-hock hackery. 10km outside the city margins, its a dead zone for high speed service. And Thailand has a huge rural population.

Rinse and repeat for Africa.
Fortunately there is a CAN-SPAM act which means we don't have to rely on what the sender or the community thinks is reasonable. Advertisement of a commercial product or anything on a website operated for commercial purposes requires "express consent to receive the message, either in response to a clear and conspicuous request or at the recipient's own initiative". Pretty far from "putting it in a public space", then.
People working at certain big companies aren't allowed to use AGPL software on their work machines, which some people might consider a feature.
I came across this video a while back and though I'm not a wearables hardware guy, the rubric he uses is sound for programmer-y stuff too.

“People who drank heavily had the highest risk. However, the team also found that light to moderate drinkers tended to have healthier lifestyles than abstainers -- such as more physical activity and vegetable intake, and less smoking.” That’s surprising if you think abstainers are vegan fitness freaks stereotype, less surprising if it’s actually pretentious stoner stereotype. Low to moderate alcohol points to being in control and reasonable, no alcohol points to substitution. There’s also a funny thing where the pretentious stoner decides smoking is bad and moves onto nangs.

“… analyses also revealed substantial differences in cardiovascular risk across the spectrum of alcohol consumption … minimal increases in risk when going from zero to seven drinks per week, much higher risk increases when progressing from seven to 14 drinks per week, and especially high risk when consuming 21 or more drinks per week… findings suggest a rise in cardiovascular risk even at levels deemed "low risk"… (of one or two drinks per day)”
So one to two every day puts you in 7-14 per week which is moderate. So it becomes 1-2 a day is fine but that doesn’t literally mean do it 365 days a year. Orrrrr that one party a week of 7 drinks is the way to go!

Are we also talking about heart disease and drug use? Heart disease and coping? Heart disease and quality of life? Because it seems like we are in that although alcohol bad, somehow alcohol good, or rather alcohol not as bad as not alcohol?

There’s an episode of doctor House where a guy slams cough medicine and vodka to make himself dumber and he proclaims it’s worth it even at the cost of his health.

Doctor House also mentions type a and type b personality, type a being a big risk of heart disease from being (angrily passionate) all the time. Is wiping yourself out, or a 7 drink party once a week, like a form of psychiatric sleep? Be a dumbass for a bit every now and then and your heart won’t explode? Pick something to allow you to belly laugh and not worry for a bit?

I agree to the poster above that Russia fucked up and blew a civilian train station. However for the maternity hospital I am much more skeptical. Also note that Marianna is from Donetsk which is predominantly pro-russian and anti-ukranian.

She also said that only very few people were left behind in her wing and rest were transferred to the basement. This is evident by the fact that there were only two injuries. Where are the photos of the rest of the people?
Hmm, it depends.

Virtual Desktops and Multiple Displays are different.

If you are using multiple displays, the app will open on the display it was previously opened on. (Unless a display has been removed or added in between, in which case it gets a little trickier). If Windows can't figure out a proper guess it will open apps on the primary display.

Apps will always open in the current Virtual Desktop. There's no point setting an App like Word to open in one Virtual Desktop over another since it's likely to have a word document open in a "Work" virtual desktop and a "Study" virtual desktop.

If you want something to be opened in a specific virtual desktop, switch to that virtual desktop with Win + Ctrl + Left/Right, then open the app.

If you want to move something between virtual desktops, show all virtual desktops with Win + Tab, then drag whatever windows to whatever desktops you want.

As a bit of a tangent: Firefox's containers work amazingly with Virtual Desktops. I can have a firefox window open for personal, work, and D&D. And none of the accounts between them are shared, and there's no history pollution between them.
It has been tried, but failed to pass in a bill in Indiana in 1897. [0]

Such a bill would probably pass now in Indiana, and many other states, given the wishful thinking on so many other issues that can't be resolved by legislation, but that's not for the want of trying.

Sinovax?

Not sure I'd class that as a working vaccine.
> Nobody should care what Putin thinks

Exactly this. NATO literally ignored Putin. We unfortunately found that the events a while ago were the straw that broke the camel's back. Putin is now angry, and ignoring what he thinks or wants turned out to be stupid.

> or wants.

I don't think not caring about the Ukraine situation is the right call either.
It's more designed for distribution than bulk storage, but yes - this should be possible.
Well, unlike the previous poster I do think 2 weeks is not that much. Most lockdowns here in Europe have been longer than that.

The difference is that lockdowns here were a lot less strict. It was still possible to go to the shops for example, and people in critical supply chains (e.g. food, medical) could still work. Precisely to avoid this kind of issue where people are running out of food.
They formed cooperatives.
Thanks for sharing! I totally missed this.
There’s LabVIEW, have you tried it yet?
You could say that about practically anything in academia, especially sciences and engineering. Not to mention, most code of big organizations would look like gibberish to an amateur programmer, the Linux kernel would look meaningless to someone starting to code etc.
I don’t think that they do [prompt you] anymore. I recently had to setup gmail with google Authenticator and there was no mention of recovery keys. Not sure if I could go in after the fact and generate any.
Git was created with a mailing-list workflow in mind, e.g. the way the Linux kernel works. That's why we have git format-patch, git am, git send-email, and that's why there is an email field in commit authorship metadata.

You can always put something else there (e.g. GitHub's anonymized addresses) or leave it empty.
Except this year severe cases were already manageable by the health system in the middle of winter. That's the difference.

True, but that means money spent on them was coerced out of the public economy and spent where it would not have been. So, they still compete for spending, but unfairly.
This sounds like a nightmare, mostly because the implication is that refreshing my inbox would amount to pulling emails from thousands of 3rd party servers, any one or more of which may be down at any given time.
Senior managers don't have the bandwidth to manage line engineers, if the engineer is doing what you say middle managers fear they would be peering with the middle managers to organize across their projects, eg a staff or principal engineer. You can easily interview for that skill set. It's also a reason to have a senior outsider on hiring loops to detect when you have these types of managers.

If the manager are actually attempting to do this pathological move, a staff or PE will notice and work to correct that issue with senior management. Otherwise engineers leave as it removes their growth areas.

At least at non-pathological places.
Sometimes, but mostly not.

Our rooms aren't big, so there's not a lot of space for things like Lego, or light saber fights, or whatever. Reading or computer games or drawing would work, but they're the kind of things that aren't really an issue to have done in the common areas anyway.

I almost agree with you but North Vietnamese as liberators... It's a bit much.

The Vietnamese wanted independence and the refusal of France and later the the intervention of the US into the Vietnamese internal politics led the Vietnamese people to turn to the Communist party as the party of independence.

The very same thing happened a few years earlier in Cuba.

But the Communist parties were not "liberators", as both the Vietnamese and the Cuban peoples discovered very quickly. But the French (obviously) and the US weren't either.

Vietnam is a nice country... for tourists. People there are not free at all. Nor are Cubans.
Somebody copy pasta the "so you think you can fix email, this is why your idea won't work" thing.

Meanwhile every time this subject comes up (and cascades into side topic posts about how it is hard to self host and mutt vs thunderbird) I'm left wondering why we even need internet mail anymore when there are so many other overlapping communication channels already.

You message your normal friends on WhatsApp.

You message your nerdy friends on Signal.

You message your drug dealer on Telegram.

Nobody writes email sized messages anymore just like nobody writes letters anymore.

You message your in-laws from an incognito Facebook tab a couple times a year.

Sometimes when you want to message no one in particular you shout into the void on Twitter.

You communicate with your team by hooking up GPT-3/perl-script to your corporate slack for your first gig and Microsoft Teams for the secret second gig.
Just be sure to not send the emojis after work hours.

That open source project you like is now increasingly sequestered on some discord instead of a traditional mailing list.

What is left for internet mail to do? Seems like it mirrors the real life postal service and has been reduced to mostly junk mail and newsletters you aren't going to get around to reading because you're busy slogging through your RSS feeds (what is dead may never die).

Maybe we've been so obsessed with figuring out how to operate our own postal service like in the frontier days we forgot to ask ourselves whether we should want to in the first place.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift delivery of plain text messages over an open protocol via the public net. For What?

> Truly Your Superior

I've often wondered why programmers seem to have such big egos. I've come up with a possible explanation:

It is nearly impossible to explain your program to a non-programmer. Therefore you easily get the feeling that you are smart and they are not. You understand something they don't and most of them seem to be incapable of understanding it even if you try your best to explain it.
I feel ya man. This is exactly where I'm at. Left one job because the company burnt me out, but I was still a passionate engineer. Eight months in to my current company I feel the flame I once had for engineering is all but extinguished. Starting to interview for a new job now and every option I evaluate I feel like I already know the BS that's waiting for me there and I just don't want to go through it.

I'm trying to construct some sort of framework for myself at the moment, but I don't really know what, if anything, will work.
My thought process was if you search your primary email, you'll quickly see all the breaches with that email. Using a different email per service reduces the surface area (lateral movement). Security through obscurity has nominal value, but the reduction in ability to correlate has a much higher value.
Wow they really do read similarly. I thought this article read kind of oddly, maybe because of forcing to another writer's format? It seems to lose coherency toward the end.
As much as I constantly post against the absurd rabid pro-ukraine hysteria that has taken over the world (what color was Libya's flag?) and biden's rush to protect his assets: Being pro-russia is absolutely nauseating and disgusting.

Putin and his gang were always an abomination and if there is any silver lining to this war, I am hoping him and thugs become a distant history.
Trains are really unpredictable. Even in the middle of a forest two rails can appear out of nowhere, and a 1.5-mile fully loaded coal drag, heading east out of the low-sulfur mines of the PRB, will be right on your ass the next moment.

I was doing laundry in my basement, and I tripped over a metal bar that wasn't there the moment before. I looked down: "Rail? WTF?" and then I saw concrete sleepers underneath and heard the rumbling.

Deafening railroad horn. I dumped my wife's pants, unfolded, and dove behind the water heater. It was a double-stacked Z train, headed east towards the fast single track of the BNSF Emporia Sub (Flint Hills). Majestic as hell: 75 mph, 6 units, distributed power: 4 ES44DC's pulling, and 2 Dash-9's pushing, all in run 8. Whole house smelled like diesel for a couple of hours!

Fact is, there is no way to discern which path a train will take, so you really have to be watchful. If only there were some way of knowing the routes trains travel; maybe some sort of marks on the ground, like twin iron bars running along the paths trains take. You could look for trains when you encounter the iron bars on the ground, and avoid these sorts of collisions. But such a measure would be extremely expensive. And how would one enforce a rule keeping the trains on those paths?

A big hole in homeland security is railway engineer screening and hijacking prevention. There is nothing to stop a rogue engineer, or an ISIS terrorist, from driving a train into the Pentagon, the White House or the Statue of Liberty, and our government has done fuck-all to prevent it.
It already did that since v16
100% agree with you. We just have to deal with it now.
Wow. Yeah, that video is thought provoking.
I would not underestimate the power of denial mixed with a healthy dose of arrogance and stupidity.

Based on what I've seen in the corporate world, I think it's far more likely that chip makers convinced themselves that, given how critical this plant is to the chip supply chain, either 3M would finally address the issue or the Belgium government would blink, and so continued to operate as usual.

Frankly, I expect 3M thought the same, hence their half-assed and illegal attempt to fix the issue.
TBH, if they're _wanting_ to do something in the bedroom, it's usually something that we (parents) wouldn't allow. So I'm usually a bit suspicious ...

TOTP is not as secure as WebAuthn, because if you enter the TOTP code into a phishing site, the phisher can now successfully authenticate as you. WebAuthn was specifically designed to be immune to this case: if you were to use your WebAuthn key in a phishing website, the phisher would not then be able to authenticate as you on the real site.
Great point. Heretics vs. infidels

Well, I just accept all cookies immediately, but I run Cookie Auto Delete and close used tabs aggressively. So cookies don't live very long.

I also use Firefox account containers for more important accounts where I need to log on.

It's a minor nuisance, but nothing I lose my sleep about.

Probably they could track me by more advanced techniques like the WebGL canvas. But why would they still yes cookies if the already did that?
Ask HN: Replacing the word “Cookie” by “Tracer/Tracker” in banners
The word cookie is misleading in explaining to the general public audience about what is really happening in Martech and Adtech about their data.
By using the work "tracker" or "tracer", it would be more transparent for users about their consent on accepting being tracked/traced for ads or performance purposes. What do you think?

Edit : "Do you accept our cookies" would be "Do you accept our tracers/trackers"
Have you looked at L4S? It does mostly fix the issue.
I still doubt their initial numbers from the Wuhan period were accurate though.
That would make a rather interesting SCP.
> And? Minorities are racist just like everybody else.

There is a difference between minorities being racist, which of course they can be, and minorities not finding allegedly racist things to be racist. My point is that it makes no sense to define "racism" to encompass supposed "dog whistle" messages directed at minorities that those minorities themselves agree with.

It not only gets used to shut down debate, as PG observes, but it's exploitive. It gets used to argue on behalf of minorities against policies that minorities themselves support. Associations of law-and-order with racism got weaponized in the last couple of years to advance approaches to policing and criminal justice that minorities themselves rejected.

> Why do we have to triangulate this stuff?

Because white people shouldn't get to police other white people on minorities' behalf over statements that those minorities don't find offensive.

> Trump was obviously a pretty racist guy.

In the sense that pretty much every 70-year old man is racist? Sure. In the sense that any of his policies were racist? No. Strong borders, careful scrutiny of refugees from parts of the world rife with fundamentalism, quelling riots, etc., are not racist.
> No one is forcing you to use it.

Kinda depends on where you work / what you do.
Abolish the TSA please.
Just for the record, I did the bicycle/Caltrain commute for years -- with my bike for one job, using city bikes in SF at another. It's doable, even preferable in some scenarios. I'm all for making cities as bikeable as possible.

Now I'm older, with kids, and have a health scenario that precludes biking (Getting a trike soon to be able to cycle at all). This area is probably one of the most bike-friendly in the US. But still, are you going to bike a week's shopping for a family of five? Costco? Ikea? Dressed up for dinner? Visiting grandparents 10 miles away?

I tried to buck the trend. A full year here with just 1 family car. On good days, it sort of worked, but eventually we had to break down and get a 2nd car. Between rushing to get kids to school, working long hours at a startup, even walking the dog in a nice field so she could run -- we just had too many hiccups with a single car. That is just how CA was conceived and built.

I think it would be more productive to accept that there is a demand for the suburban lifestyle, and come up with creative solutions that fit that demand, but also address issues of housing and climate.

You could make the analogy to architecture. It doesn't work to look at a city and say "This is all wrong", then build whatever suits your aesthetic. You try to modernize but also blend in. Work with the structure you are given. It never works to say "This sucks, burn it down and start from scratch".
The problem gets further pushed to the individual to navigate, without any real support
And, similarly for other storage methods.
Crossovers and CUVs are vehicles built on a passenger car platform with an extended cargo area accessible via a hatch or door.

Some station wagons are 4WD and some are jacked up higher than their sedan brethren.

In what way that is not arbitrary are these not similar?
