Pico: Level up your link-in-bio
They weren’t so much sacked as they were made obsolete by technology and rising productivity. You could still find bus conductors in China even just 10 years ago where they still made sense a bit (if only to collect fares).
Fly.io seems like it might be a good fit. They support Docker + Postgres (they recommend just running Redis in Docker and have instructions for how to do this). And they provide a Github Action for deployment.
Not really. There is very limited use of “driverless” trains on the mainline network, and almost all trains are manually driven. Many of the London tube lines do use ATO though.

There's also a newer category called Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), that incorporates visual, olfactory, and auditory sensitivity without many of the other traits from a standard autism diagnosis. It's still considered neuro diverse, but helps those with it to draw their own awareness to their own unique challenges. As an adult, it's much easier to cope when you can clearly list what sensory inputs will be challenging, and work to avoid or change them. If you haven't heard of it there's a book called Highly Sensitive Person that can give good advice for self care.
Whatever comment you make about Scotland, good or bad, someone will be offended.
> Neither is a good outcome imho.

Subsidizing people who are out of work while all employees earn a livable wage is a categorically better outcome than having to subsidize everyone, employed or not, just because companies don't feel like paying a livable wage.

> If more subsidies are lost, they are worse off, and thus, would rather stop working and get the maximum subsidies instead.

This is an easily preventable issue that can be avoided by phasing out the subsidies instead of setting a hard cut-off.
Ah, I was making a joke. In the US, “Generation X” was told repeatedly from its inception that it was apathetic, specifically.

I also find these terms a bit maddening

Edit: for the record, I was in no way offended, but I realize that probably didn’t come across well in my comment

I hope this isn't a case of how many people does it take to drive an autonomous bus? Two, one to drive it, and the other to wander round telling passengers it's autonomous.
I'm not sure win11 will accept to update if you do that. Or it is just when it detects an "unsupported" processor?
Speaking for myself, the issue is that I don’t know enough about devops/security to go barebones (esp if for a side project accepting payments w/ sensitive data). It’s of course dead simple to set up a server barebones, but to do it in a way for a service open to the internet with uptime requirements requires more specialization of knowledge these days.
Yes, I included the link for more useful context, but ultimately I think it comes down to the same thing.

I work in UX and I always wonder what the 'end goal' is to these UI systems... in a perfect world where every 1st and 3rd party developer on a platform builds with the same UI system, won't we eventually have every app looking nearly indistinguishable from one another? Is that really what folks want? Where is the creativity? People laughed off Apple's attempts at skeumorphism, but I predict in a few years people will be craving unique looking apps.
Why are you making Apps instead of a program that runs locally?

Oh... Right.

Can't charge people for things running on their own hardware! Gotta shovel some cloud BS in there!

All of these things are ultimately abstractions built on top of POSIX (aside from actual unikernels which can be used in the virtualization scenario)

It absolutely does free OS designers to remove the POSIX parts from in between, but no one really has yet
Computerphile made a great video explaining TPMs: https://youtu.be/RW2zHvVO09g
The machine can wake up for many seconds (I'm running Windows 10 on my Macboo Pro). During that time, there's no communication on the state of the machine at at all (the keyboard doesn't light up for me). Is it still asleep? During wake up? Or maybe powered off completely for some reason? If it's powered off, then I should press the "Power" button... But what if it isn't? - will pressing it kill the wake up process? Who knows! So much frustration caused by removing a single LED.

Amazing. Kind of a gem that still keeps me subscribed to HN.
I'm very interested in visual ways to explore ebooks, papers, articles.

A physical library helps discovering new stuff or occasionally bumping in something. With files you need to be much more deliberate and I feel like you can accumulate a lot without really knowing what you have.

Even if this is a simple visualization it already gives ideas on how much more information you could convey with something similar. Like number of pages, color of the cover, to remind you of the book, different font, etc. A set of cues that can help you navigate in the list of books, at least I suspect :)
Oh my god that header design is such a obnoxious one. I feel like being solicitated physically and constantly. I have nothing bad for material design/roboto family but now I hate it.
Yes, the point of autonomous buses is partly to get rid of the human driver, so they are obviously not going to create a new position to continue to have a human on-board.

This is temporary until people are used to, and confident about, a bus with no driver, and until law allows no emergency driver on-board.
I had a chat with a DLR "passenger service agent" a few weeks ago (DLR, or Docklands Light Railway being a "fully automated" light rail system in London). He had opened the driving console at the front and was sitting there, I asked if there was a fault or something that meant they were operating in reversion mode (PSAs can drive the trains in certain failure cases).

He said DLR introduced a policy many years ago where after 8pm or so (maybe just on Fri/Sat night?) the PSA needs to sit at the open drivers console ready to smack the emergency stop in case of people on the tracks. Before then it's optional, but some PSAs like to do it anyway in case "their train" hits someone.

Not really much point to this but I thought it was interesting how the PSAs are effectively put in a position of responsibility for the actions of the autonomous vehicle but presumably are not compensated the same as an active(?) driver would be.

Maybe a lot of the desire to move to "autonomous" (or really just more automated if it requires a safety driver) is a workaround for union wages by reclassifying drivers as new made up things.

Presumably like a DLR these buses will always require a human to take responsibility in case of crash, accident, fire etc - but this way for arbitrary reasons you can pay less!
Not for everyone apparently
I'm not sure for TPM2 though.

OS level security? What does a service like Heroku even offer in this regard?

You can turn on autoupdates or run "apt update && apt upgrade" regularely. If an OS level exploit slips through that, you will probably be affected no matter where you are hosting.

But OS level exploits are super rare. The problem is usually your application. And Heroku and Co cannot guard you against those problems.

I'm not sure what you mean by setting up a server "in a way for a service open to the internet". "apt install php" gives you pretty much all you need. And it is ready for the open internet.
I've thought about this before as a physical item. Like maybe a breadbox size ePaper screen that looks like a tiny bookcase with a API back to Goodreads or something to get the book spine images.

You could also have a section that displays random quotes from books in your library.

Unfortunately for now the licensing on color ePaper is still prohibitive and doing it with an lcd seems somehow tacky to me.

They know how it works, why do you think it's not working as designed. They do things to make a profit, not to make a good search engine [any more].

This sort of opinion appears rife somehow, people who make it clear their raison d'être is make money above all else are considered incompetent because, whilst making massive amounts of money, their actions are highly deleterious in other areas.

Do you just not believe that those in control only care about the money and couldn't care less about search quality other than to the extent it's necessary to make money?

Nice doublespeak
Have you ever considered going as a solo consultant?

You can cherry pick projects that are interesting to you, and you can jump to another company every few months.

Just try to avoid long commitment projects.

For example: A few quick jobs I did in the past:

- Jump into a startup sourcecode and find out why the whole microservice ecosystem would fall like a house of cards after some time. Didn't have to fix it myself, just provide evidences.

- Create a brand new embedable front-end library for a marketing startup. The old one was a pile of crap.

- Setup a design system foundation for a big company.

- Integrate an existing chatbot on google home.

- Code review an entire project made by a solo dev.

- Improve performance of messy backend-frontend architecture.
If somehow you can send a spoofed reply to that number you'd have to guess the code
What is your opinion on the Mahayana?
Yeah, very good example and explanation
I'm in a similar boat. Except I do not want any GitHub integration and would rather not use Docker. I have simple needs and don't want to manage a server. To me, it is rather strange that there are so few providers that allow pushing code without GitHub/GitLab/Git. Allow me to upload a tar (or similar) and I'm happy.

Any recommendations for two small Node.js applications?
For PHP https://platform.sh has got a lot of traction, but it's notc cheap especially for small apps.

If you hadn't wanted the Docker-based backing I would suggest trying one of the services that automates setting up your VMs at AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode etc like https://forge.laravel.com/, https://runcloud.io/, https://serverpilot.io/, https://www.cloudways.com/ etc
Indeed, I passionately hate programs where the order of the options and files/arguments matter just as much as the options themselves.
AWS elastic beanstalk. Works with docker and handles running and scaling your app for the raw cost of the EC2 underneath. It's essentially heroku on AWS.
I'm not sure if they know. I mean I personally don't need to be convinced, but my most carnivore friends all abhor meat substitutes much more than eating a vegetarian casserole.
Most of that red tape isn't actually created by the UK, it's created by the EU because "we'll impose lots of red tape and strangle your businesses" is their primary, number one argument for why countries should be in the EU instead of outside it.

Most of those rules could be disappeared tomorrow if the EU was genuinely in favour of reduced bureaucracy. One thing you quickly realize if you study the issues in depth enough is that it really isn't in favour of that. Their entire mentality is that red tape is bad if it's not the EU's and good if it is. That's not the path to increased cooperation.
Heroku does isolate the application somewhat. You would have to add some amount of itables configuration, ssh setup, web server config, "don't run everything as root", and so on to your list. All doable of course, but there's a reason people pay for things like heroku.

You don't have to do any of those security wise.

On a plain Debian installation, do "apt install php", throw your files into /var/www/html/ and your application is up and running in a secure fashion.
> TPMs can also be used for some more obscure stuff.

One cool example is the Intel Education Theft Deterrent solution, used in school laptops handed out by some governments.

They added a lock function to the BIOS code which checks the (hardware) TPM for signed data.

During normal operation, the computer receives a "boot certificate" through an always-on OS agent application from a server physically located in school grounds and accessible only through their intranet. This signed certificate contains, among other things, a boot count (how many reboots until the PC gets locked) and an expiration date (how much time until it gets locked).

The idea is that thiefs will not risk taking the computers because they would be unoperable within a few days/reboots, since the data is stored in the TPM and the lock code is in the BIOS itself.

This turned out to be a disaster however, as most technical people just modded the BIOS to strip out the system altogether and made easily available tutorials on how to use an EEPROM flasher to load the patched binary. The end result is that, due to bad IT personnel in schools among other factors, legitimate users got their laptops locked all the time while thiefs easily flashed the patch and got them working in minutes.
We do this for some of our legacy apps. I don’t like it and want to move away from it. I lack both time and motivation to think about security outside of the app/code itself.
> or even just a high number of rounds of SHA-512

PBKDF1 (which is just iterated hashing) has the same security as PBKDF2 when used with fixed length salts, and avoids the numerous pitfalls of the latter. Though it's still not as good as bcrypt, scrypt or argon2.
> The UK is the most open and tolerant country in the EU, it's also the one with considerably more migrants than most

Appreciate the citation provided but this is beyond the pale, I can't imagine we're even talking about the same Britain where I come from.

Sweden and Germany bears more immigrants per capita than the UK does, Britain was complaining (extremely loudly) about an absolutely infinitesimally small fraction of migrants coming over the channel.

Britain is also AWFUL at integrating migrants, leading to "Polish" and "Pakistani" areas of cities. They're kinda cute and kitche in London, but the pakistani areas of Coventry are closer to isolated slums (and it's not their fault that it is that way).

Britain is also the place where when I go to the pub with my mum someone is within earshot talking down "ragheads" or quipping about "darkies". Coventry in particular has a little hate boner going on because a lot of the students are Chinese -- even my Mum complains about it. (since "Students aren't paying council tax", but she's fine with british students, go figure.)

The britain that I know is very far away from being "Open and Tolerant".

I am now part of the Immigrant population in Sweden, I've also lived in Finland. You're joking if you think that Britain is more open and tolerant than these places. That's before we get to the Netherlands (which, while less open than Sweden) puts tax incentives in place to promote migration to the country! Britain would never do that! (unless absolutely-absolutely desperate: EG truck drivers post-brexit).
FairMail impressively good. I am truly amazed by FairMail.
Here's a tool to play with all the options. SO. MANY. SLIDERS! https://v-fonts.com/fonts/roboto-flex
I know it’s not shiny and new, but we use AWS Elastic Beanstalk, which automates everything but still gives us full control over the EC2 instances if we need it. It has built-in support for Docker, PHP, and several others. We use AWS’s managed databases (RDS/Aurora) and Redis (ElastiCache) with automatic failover, and both have been solid in the three years we’ve been on this setup.
The same author also claims wifi causes autism...
Theory: it makes secure builds that much more straightforward. You can just point goma at a repo and whatever it inhales is everything needed. The simplicity cascades downwards.

For example, "everything comes from a repo" would make object (.o) caching that much more straightforward.

And you can reason both about the logic behind a service and how it was configured from a single commit hash/CL.
And (please excuse me if I'm just being dumb this early in the morning) how does tracking their web browsing help with that...?
You need to keep the bus "captain", because half of a bus driver's job is helping old people figuring out which bus to take and where to go and keeping the passengers in check (to prevent vandalism, throw out rowdies or even call the police if there is violence among the passengers, etc.). Occasionally it does not feel safe to take the bus as it is and without a driver to call the police if something happens, that would be the case much more often.

And if you need to keep at least one employee in the bus, why would you take them off the wheel and very likely increase the risk of an accident, while also making it more complicated legally in case an accident happens. I don't see a gain, unless the end game is to get rid of employees inside the bus altogether in which case the service quality would decrease drastically, because that half of the bus driver's job I talked about earlier is ignored completely.

Maybe it's a good fit in that specific case with the "pre-selected roads", but I am legitimately concerned about this technology being adopted widespread (esp. in the cities) and I don't like the thought of it.
I expect you would be in trouble taking a turkey in this manner, because these birds are hardly a lethal threat. Sure, you might get a few cuts, but you can easily avoid or evade their attacks.

If you engage when not strictly necessary, you are likely to be portrayed as the aggressor. The consequences may not be as severe as you might expect from a similar encounter and use of lethal force on a human, but I think in both cases you are expected to walk away from the situation if that option is available to you.

I believe in standing your ground, but I don’t live in a state with such laws. Even if I did, you can still expect a lengthy legal process to resolve the dispute. I would expect this to be true regardless of whether you proactively kill a human or a turkey in self defense. You had better be prepared to make a compelling defense of your actions, unless the circumstances are clearly beyond reproach. And they never are anymore, since the lawyers stand to profit by arguing the case.
Bigger, obviously.

Wealthier? Where did you get that idea? The EU is not particularly wealthy. Large parts of it are still considered poor, that's why so much IT gets outsourced to the eastern European countries. Italy GDP hasn't grown for 20 years. Germany is a surprisingly poor country relative to where it should be.

If what you care about is size+wealth then the USA dominates. And, the only way to get better trade deals with the USA is to be outside the EU. Whether the USA wants to play or not depends a lot on whether a Democrat is in the White House because the Dems are very pro-EU (large centralized unaccountable power structure hmmm wonder why they love that). But politics comes and goes, eventually there will be another Republican in power and deals can get done.

Certainly, for looking towards economic growth and enterprise, you don't want to be looking to the EU. It's all about heading over the Atlantic and then maybe, the Pacific.
