Now the city says it won't indemnify Dowdy, whom it employed for 36 years. That means it won't pay the $6 million the jury awarded Howard
+1 for own Linux distro.

Apple always had the advantage of controlling both the hardware and the software.

Also, in the Linux space, I had amazing experience with Raspberry Pi OS. Not only that it works well out of the box, but being the OS most people use on that specific hardware makes searching for answers to any issues much easier.

Ideally though it would be as close as possible to an existing distro and only include patches needed for good Framework support.
I mean, you can build your own with any Mini-ITX motherboard. The only thing is you don't have the tight integration of soldered RAM, the quality slave-assembled parts, and the two years of faster speed before lowering performance for power consumption reasons.

I can't type one of my email address on HN as it has emojis in the hostname. It works great with Fastmail. It gets problematic when I use emojis in the mailbox name as well. At lot of hosts won't allow that.

You can see the email address on the front page if I paste the punycode web address on here:

I have used this one before to practice typing on a split keyboard with chords. Never made it to proficiency but it worked well. It's nice to type out real code and not just random sentences.

The only downside that I found: At least for Python it didn't ask to type out the comments. So #'s were never practiced.
one of the reasons I can't stand netflix is their ctr-maximizing screenshots, they are awful.

Yes, I'm in exactly the same boat (although my house is even older - almost 70 years old).

I hope to gradually replace the leaky windows and external doors (would love to put in double-insulated windows), maybe staple air barrier membrane under the floorboards after insulating under them to reduce leakyness there (I already have good insulation in the ceiling). But first I want an ERV just to increase general air quality.

We need the people of Africa, to replace the people we aren't having in the developed world. We should stop all this warfare against refugees and accept them willingly, as people with strong motivations to work.

Remittance money will boost the local economy and in time, as their education and middle class grows, the flow will stop and so will their higher birth-rate.

I've made variations of this post about 5 times in HN in the context of stories like this, or the problem of refugees in the UK and Europe.

Merkel accepted the 1.5m for sound economic reasons. Japan will be taking anyone it can soon, at their historically low birth rate. There's only so much robots can do for you.
While no one cares, if you type really really slow, then it will impact your performance.

I am already overexposed to these American cultures, and I find the idea of them telling me that the way my culture speaks and expresses its self is "wrong" to be rather disturbing, considering the effect that mass exposure to US culture has had on us.

Look no further than a sibling comment from sjsbdkj: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31090862

Unsurprising, given the first part of your answer. If a company gaslights women when they say that they face hostility, why would women want to work there?

Honestly the fact that you don't have many complaints after less than five years is a good sign, but tell us again in 10 or 15 years how well your online SSBU games are going.

I'd actually be okay with it if Nintendo just came out and said that online wasn't something they were interested in. I'm one of those people who is perfectly happy with physical media, single player, and local multiplayer.

It would have spared them a ton of trouble with things like the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Service, DRM, friend codes, eShop, Randnet, Nintendo Network, DLC, WiiConnect24, the wii shop, even Pokemon home/bank, etc. and they could have just kept on delivering gaming experiences that worked for players no matter what servers were offline, kept on working for decades as long as you had a disk/cart and the right console, you'd never have to worry about your purchases being pulled out from under you, and all of it could be lent/traded/resold/handed down freely.
It could be automated with something like sonarr.

I think what you're missing here is that there's nothing about the fact this was crypto that matters. DeFi, at best, is getting you back up to the point the traditional finance system has been at for decades.

If you'd had a couple hundred $k of index funds in a brokerage account, you could have quickly and easily borrowed a significant amount of money secured by the shares at a very low interest rate. And yes, significantly cheaper than a mortgage. I think Interactive Brokers is charging well under 2% for a margin loan these days? (And under 1% if you have enough assets...)

> some people do in fact get some utility from these things

But strictly less utility than if you'd just bought non-crypto assets. Right?
I'm a few days away. Waiting for my Framework to arrive. I probably have never been this excited about a laptop in my whole life.
If you need to hook methods in a remote process (and also inject payload), you may also consider the Detours library [1]. It has a straightforward API and its repository contains many interesting samples. One thing I was missing in the library was a function to inject code into a running process. So I wrote takedetour [2] which I use as a template for my other projects. Maybe you will find it useful as well.

Amusing to think the same freedoms caused ARPAnet -> Internet to happen. It was appparently just as likely they'd find men staring at goats productive, as funding a new kind of packet based networking model.

Mind you, Uri Geller was fighting off TV appearances, for his flimflam, so the willing minds of pork-barrel land in the US probably would have backed anything, if you see it on TV it must be true, right?

You're right. I did some experiments too after your first reply. It's definitely inconsistent depending on what software you are using (as some software now bypasses your system resolver and uses HTTP DNS etc). I've known people who had email addresses on TLDs and they never had any problem receiving email (without using a final dot), so I'm not sure how the MX record is being resolved or how the SMTP connection is being made. It's very possible that the mail daemon is automatically adding a dot to the end of every hostname.
> To help them, GitHub will establish and donate $1M to a developer defense fund to help protect open source developers on GitHub from unwarranted DMCA Section 1201 takedown claims.

There was also the promise a $1m developer defense fund. I wonder what happened to that.
I can understand why. Google is the primary information distributor for billions of people, and they have the power to push said people towards any policy they so desire. Regardless of one's political background, any push of Google towards defining what is and is not acceptable for people to say or believe is EXTREMELY disturbing.

Does SSR need to be so complex for SEO? Can't the backend basically throw its hands up and render a trivial (e.g. "reader mode" text view) version, as soon as a browser isn't detected properly, or determined to be known a bot/crawler? E.g. you skip all interactivity, layout etc. I assume Google would have to penalize sites that render something completely different to their bot, or else bait and switch would be rampant?
Eg. I was trying to teach someone about composition in photography using old laptops laying around with Linux/BSD installed, so, you agree, Gimp is first choice. At least 3 times it was young persons with Gimp trauma from school lessons. So, when I started launching Gimp they all showed disgust followed by disinterest on their faces and all tried to run away. It is really so bad !

So here you have it: Gimp in practice - disgust in users. When some teen/student needs some tool then there is pressure on parents to buy them real McCoy like Adobe Photoshop. I personally like Corel, box version.

And that disgust is well deserved just at Gimp launch time - you are welcomed with multiple uncoherent windows, try to switch between them. Then try to find basic tool like "curves" - hidden in some not really intuitive place like eg. "Adjustment" menu.

Save picture ? You must discover some idiotic options about exporting. And that just 1 minute usage of that "gimp".

Some may argue that competition is a good thing :thinkingface:
That would only be implementable by languages with a WASM output target though. Knative says that any container that responds to HTTP will work, and you could host those in different environments. It's much more general.
If you have a computer science degree, you are expected to know fundamental topics such as data structures and algorithms.

As a professional software engineer, you are expected to be proficient at those skills to an extent in which you can demonstrate them in practice.

The burden of verifying you acquired the skills associated with your education falls on the employer.

Fizzbuzz is trivial and should not be a problem for any developer at any level. Writing a binary search function should not be a problem either.

But I agree that the industry's obsession with competitive programming has gone too far in some cases, especially in cases where the skills being tested are not relevant for the job.
It's interesting to me that hacker news likes building-related content so much, which happens to be my education other than... well, computers.

Air tightness is a critical step forward. I'm glad we are talking about it. Thinking more holistically, I would not go with the double-stud wall.

Recently I've been dabbling in developing online multiplayer games.

After some agony trying to make the chaos go away (rewinding time, merging conflicting physics states...), I realized I could actually harness it by re-framing the product from something serious into something lighthearted (eg. making goofy physics the whole point of the game).

At worst, it lowers the expectations (eg. relative to something serious/competitive where jankiness is unacceptable), and at best may actually produce laughter. I hope.
I think I know what the article wanted to say but it did a really poor job of saying it.

The discussion is interesting though. As we pile ever more abstractions on top of existing ones we forget what they are based on. Take young "devops" for example, there's plenty of them who don't understand what AWS has under the hood. A lot of them miss fundamental Linux knowledge and never touched virtualization tools directly. And it can bite them hard sometimes.

On the other hand I think it's always been like this. I grew up doing a lot of Linux networking, virtualization, packaging, etc. But I don't know any underlying tech for that. I can't even read C code, don't know the Linux system calls.

And of course there's an xkcd about this https://xkcd.com/435/

You imply readers’ understanding of “easy”, “challenging” and “hard” are the same as yours, which isn’t.

I don't download them, but I watch it on other streaming sites. I figured I already pay for the subscription for it so it should be okay. The reason I do it is simply convenience. Netflix UI isn't particularly good and I absolutely loathe their auto-playing thumbnails with audio. So the interface has little sway for me when content is the same. I also do it for Disney when I cast to my TV. For some reason, their decoding is always messed up. All the colors are green, so I have no choice but to use another source. I pay for Disney subscription as well.

I don't think the comment by wfh is saying that it's not possible to prevent these hooks. In fact, wfh is saying the opposite, i.e. that they already have the mitigation in place, but cannot enable it because there are legitimate use cases for hooking/injection, and users who use programs that depend on these techniques would be (rightly) upset if Chrome unilaterally decided to block all such use cases. The comment is lamenting the fact that the author of the blog post is creating yet more such use cases and will make it even harder for Chrome to ever enable the feature to prevent code injection.
I have worked for ~4 years at Nintendo in production planning and inventory management/demand forecasting. I'd just like to clarify one thing - which is repeated so frequently but just plain wrong:

There is no secret "scarcity" creates more demand masterplan from Nintendo.

- Nintendo sells to retailers (for the most part) - so any type of price gouging isn't benefiting them.

- Everybody at Nintendo would prefer retailers to never run out of stock. The second a retailer runs out of stock - overall customer demand drops. There is no secret evasion to other channels (which of course are also out of stock) happening.

- Hype effects are only _maybe_ valid for very niche core gamer titles (Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, etc.). Yes, sometimes these titles benefit a little in the beginning pulling in demand from week 2 & 3 into week 1 if presales are closed very early due to limited availability.

- Core gamer titles generate furious outrage on the internet, which sometimes even spills over to mainstream journalism, but are barely relevant to the bottom line compared to mass market titles (Mario, AC, Zelda of course but also titles like NintenDogs).

- Production Planning starts anywhere from 8 weeks to 6 months in advance of a titles release. It's damn hard to predict how well a title will sell that early on. It is even worse for HW which has lead times much, much longer.

- Games are shipped via air and final assembly happens in the region where they are sold. HW is shipped via boat from Asia directly. This means right about now somebody is ordering Christmas HW. How do you think the red left joy-con will sell in December? We had tricked-out time-series forecasting statistics at the end but still got it wrong ~20% of the time.

- Overstock is crazy expensive, both in the channel and in Nintendo Warehouses. If you order too much of a title and it turns out the title only has a core day 1 audience you or the channel which you made believe in the title is totally screwed.
To paraphrase the maxim, working automated systems evolve from working manual systems. But only some manual systems work.

I start CI/CD by doing the whole process manually. For example, type the commands to build a Docker image, or spawn a VM, or obtain a secret. I encode all this in pseudo code, then put it in Bash (or Python). When a conditional branch appears (a different environment with different credentials), I treat it like any other code. Separate the bits that stay the same, and inject the bits that change.

The problem with most CI/CD systems is that people tightly couple themselves to the tool without really understanding it - the point the article is making. They over-complicate the solution because the documentation encourages you to do that. When they want to customise, debug, or even migrate away from it, it’s very difficult.

Easy to forget login, easy to forget passwd, easy to forget what passwd is attached to some login. Not to mention that nowadays most services ask some second and third factors like email which has 2 passwds, phone which may be lost, docs which may be unwanted to demonstrate. Modern cryptography may solve it if webmasters really want it (but for some reason they prefer to collect as much as possible).
> I don’t know how to be more clear than that.

You really aren't putting much effort into being clear and convincing, especially given how you've been shown that people are finding your claims quite hard to believe. You are still not offering any specifics such as which state these plans are offered in, what level(s) of plans you looked at (catastrophic/bronze/silver/gold), what (if anything) in the way of preventive services they do purport to cover, what services you expect from an annual checkup that would not be covered.

There are lots of obvious ways you could have been much more forthcoming to bolster your credibility, but instead you've been more or less evasive.
