Why is it mind boggling?

I'd hire a lawyer instantly if I became aware I was in possession of stolen war loot. It's a war crime, and things can get quite iffy really quickly - especially if somehow it goes viral.

Much better to just CYA and spend $500 on a lawyer so you ensure you don't go to prison or be held liable for something silly.

Call it a hard lesson I've learned multiple times over throughout my life. When in doubt, it's never inappropriate to hire legal counsel.

I seem to remember that a few years ago some versions of either TouchWiz or Android, that you could overflow into unlocking the phone.

The number required was pretty high, but you could get to it by copy pasting an already typed (In the emergeny dialer) number for a while, crashing the lockscreen until the next reset
Yes perl may have been a better choice for the projects sake, but alas the course was apparently a trial-by-~fire~segfault of C + string processing. Loved PCRE though... hmm I wonder if you could do it with just a regex...

Obviously 2% is pretty far off but it strikes me, given that objective, that this is sort of what happened except that Android usurped Windows Mobile/Phone, and that's what they needed to be watching.
> The limitations of &mut cannot be trivially worked around.

> The "trivial" equivalent to JavaScript is not RefCell, but plain old Cell, applied at the level of individual fields you want to write to. No panics and no (relative) overhead there.

I thought you were implying that we could trivially work around Rust's problems by just using Cell everywhere, my comment was in response to that. It seems now that you were talking about something else, so nevermind =)
What amazes me about all these stories is the ridiculously low prices the thrift store charged. Here in the Seattle area, everything seems to grossly overpriced in thrift stores.

>The article mentions the huge problem with them having no in-house expertise so they bring in consultants.

Just so we're all clear here, this is by design.
This is just wrong. You can both not have kids and still know how to raise them. Either by reading materials, watching others, watching siblings or watching nieces and nephews. People should really stop invalidating others opinions because they don’t check the appropriate boxes (or box in this case). Why is it easy for some parents and impossible for others? Something, somewhere, went wrong.
Understood.

> I think it's too bad that SSO is so heavily taxed

Honestly, most software (especially SaaS) is underpriced for the value it creates. SSO is just an easy way to bump clients into the "real" pricing of the software while still letting them try most/all of the core features.
Okay, I guess that answers my immediate sub-question, but it misses the point about the plurality of the pronouns.

> or even, "Someone came into this room. I don't know them, but they took everything."

"Them" would still be plural by your earlier logic though. Unless you're suggesting that you think "themselves" is plural and "themself" would be the singular?

I'm sure they've done the math on it and it's just not worth supporting from a revenue perspective. There must be some operational cost that became a burden.
That was true of InterLisp-D and the SmallTalk environments, but not the case of the systems that begat CommonLisp (MACLISP, the lispms, franzlisp, etc).

In other words it was a cultural thing, not a property of the languages. And even with the systems for which that was possible it was also possible to start with a fresh band and load code into it.
Android didn’t succeed because anyone thought Google was cool. Android succeeded because it was ubiquitous when Apple was only available on AT&T and because Androids phones were cheaper.
> I'm not sure why people believe they have a right to dictate how someone else's content is created.

I do not believe anyone here is at all believing that they have a right to dictate how someone else's content is created. The argument is about modification, not creation. People should absolutely have the ability to modify their local version of the content to make it readable to them.
Unless you're Oracle that code is hardly critical to the business.

Even as a Sr Dev I'd share stuff like that, it's code that'd appear on a stack overflow post anyway.
Goodwill in particular moves items between markets and prices them based on the local economy. Gone are the days of 2010 when you could walk into the Bellevue Goodwill and find lightly used designer clothing that some retired Microsoft engineer was tired of. Now everything's priced higher than eBay and there's no reason to stop by.

Everyone else wants to be a "Boutique" and charge high end prices for used goods. Blame Macklemore?
Makes sense given plentiful supply of better vaccines that are also less likely to cause rare complications.
I’m not totally convinced of that, but it might be: we were the small custom dev shop in PS in a much larger product co that never did figure out how to sell PS effectively, despite the product absolutely requiring it for anything serious.

My view was limited, sadly, for various political reasons, among other things.

No, AFAICR, it was simply that this was a bit larger, a bit hairier than the usual case, enough so that they were unwilling to make the call without management support.

It’s amazing how much we can learn from a 30s episode.
>Imagine if someone in the US ended up showing they owned it

She bought it from Goodwill. What benefit would anything think they could get from suing her if she didn't get a payout?

>She would then have to defend herself wherever the claimant chooses (possibly even the US), with no actual object should a court decide she has to produce it.

How can the court tell her to produce it if she obviously doesn't have it? She was acting in good faith. She bought it for $35, and (assuming she got no payout) gave it to who she thought the rightful owner was for free. Why would anyone think she did anything wrong or owes anyone anything? She got nothing from this. If the museum owns it wrongly, they should sue the museum.
Unfortunately themself is a spelling error according to my browser, and I have to admit it sounds like the most jarring option.
It’s amazing how many fans of socialism, such as yourself, don’t see the connection.

The UK would be even less able to afford social programs if the economy had continued on its pre-Thatcher slide down.

And calling the UK third world just shows how laughable the understanding is - try “socialist paradises” like Greece where much of the economy has gone underground because the tax burden is so high in people who can barely make ends meet.
Getting a payout seems fair. I doubt the Germans paid anybody when they took it from Italy.
Just thinking "out loud" here – this isn't standards compliant or anything.

I'd love to be able to control some of these kinds of things right in the Admin UI.

Like being able to say "create new proxy, use this relay that gets me into this network, look at this acl to decide who gets in"

I could see this as really useful for the long tail of "admin" type services. Like admin UIs for Sidekiq (Ruby bg jobs) or Oban (Elixir bg job), our HashiCorp Nomad or Consul admin screens, etc without having to mess around with extra tokens.
This is 100% a PE play. PE is basically just "more than 50% ownership" from an investment perspective. CSI is a notoriously "roll-up" shop and there are tons more in the US that basically do the same.
I trust a company a lot more whose business proposition is “I give them money and they give me stuff” than having an ad tech company’s operating system running on my phone.
The biggest problem is re-using passwords. Remember when that LinkedIn password database with plaintext/md5 (easily brute-forced) was leaked a few years back? And who knows what's going on with Heroku right now. There's been dozens, hundreds, thousands of leaks like this, from well known sites like LinkedIn to that small independent webshop where you ordered something a few years ago. And for at least some people those credentials that worked on LinkedIn may also work on GitHub.

Having a unique password per service solves that particular issue. But you're right that there's a "price" in that losing access to your passwords would leave you screwed. I'd strongly recommend making sure you at least memorize your email password, as well as backing it up in several places.
Yeah, I can never find a reasonable price on a first century Roman antiquity, and believe me I’ve tried.
> Let me provide some background information for people who aren't familiar with the agencies involved in this (Centrelink, Medicare, and the Australian Taxation Office). These places have some of the worst-run IT departments on the planet.

You can add Australia Post to that list as well. Even though it is now technically a corporation, it still carries the stench of its public service roots.
Your parent did say something about tiktok.

If parents all parents are “ vastly under-resourced and under-prepared” then how come this is not a universal problem?

How come someone can’t point fault at the parents without the parents getting super defensive? All parents must be perfect (none are) and clearly are experts at raising kids right? Do you think, at least in some cases, it is inattentive parents?
I'm very much the same, but I lump it into: Hacks, Layout, Decoration, Animation, Misc.

I order every property in each bucket by their importance.

- Hacks: reserved for very special cases that solve an issue. I keep this at the top so it's the first thing I see for a class (e.g. box-sizing, -webkit-touch-callout, pointer-events, outline for debugging, etc...)

- Layout this usually means display, position, box-model.

- Decoration: this usually means border, background, text

- Animation: this usually means transitions, non-layout transforms and animations

- Misc: Anything out of the ordinary. Related media queries (soon to be replaced by container queries), scss nested elements, etc...
I'm Scandinavian. I do share your feeling about american superlatives.

It's hard for me to mention concrete examples now (it's been a while), but I felt a general lack of wanting things to be better which felt really weird.
The CLOS is more dynamic than python. You can do things like specialize a method on multiple types based on the runtime types (that is to say, the method conceptually belongs to the intersection of the classes, not any single class).

I like python (especially things like comprehensions), but to say it's more dynamic than common lisp is a little insane.
Yes they know about that just like they know about the plague and the possibility of an asteroid stroke destroying life on planet earth. But is inflation a big part of their day to day worries? Probably not. Political extremism maybe, but they're probably wrapped up in that as well. We've created a society where if you aren't openly fighting the bigots you are seen as allowing them to exist. So teens are very politically active and I wouldn't be surprised if it stresses them like it stresses adults. But unless they're experiencing poverty I don't think kids are getting depressed because they're worried about wealth inequality. Unless the teen in question is Karl Marx
Ask HN: How to become less of a “Screen Person”?
Irony is not lost on me in asking this question to a forum of computer folk, but I find I spend my days and nights staring at screens (e.g. Work, Netflix, Video Games, etc). What substitutes (if any) have you taken up to reduce your "Screen Time" that has resulted in what you feel is a meaningful improvement in your well-being?
a) I don't know, I'm lucky enough to be in a position where I'm trusted to simply execute and deliver on the things that I think are worthwhile. They might happen to align with Agile planning processes, that's nice for the manager who happens to be running it, but that's not my concern.
b) Even if this was something that I was being concerned with, "working in an environment where my productivity is monitored and measured" is hardly disrespect. Or, at least, it's no more disrespect than every other worker in this capitalist hellscape suffers - and nerds (more accurately, "job roles that are commonly associated with nerdy people") tend to have a much easier and freer professional life than others. So, if you want to say that nerds are disrespected, it's truer to say "workers are disrespected, and many nerds are workers".
People get funny of the provenance of things that were taken by military force, go figure.

Possession and sale of stolen goods is not legal, just not a crime unless you are aware it's stolen/likely stolen.
I currently work in NSW Health. The quality of what we deliver is to the bottom. Millions of dollars spent on project that have 0 unit test, 0 integration test where we as developers don't have any ability to talk to users. Every piece of code I see has inconsistent style with nobody bothering to write clean code. I am trying hard to bring more best practices and less cow boy programming but this might be a lost cause if you're not a professional politician. Everytime I hear my wife talking me about budget cut in her hospital as a nurse, I cringe of the absurd waste that happen on the application development side I'm involve with.

Your mileage may vary, some team in the gov are doing some wonderful things like service nsw which has been creating component libraries available for most popular framework and mock tools: https://www.digital.nsw.gov.au/delivery/digital-service-tool...

I don't think I'm "missing" that point, but I do think you are missing mine:

Amazon has tried to improve the Android ecosystem since day one, on the taking things at face value that Android was supposed to be an open platform for innovation, and instead has failed in just about every possible way. More than any other company, Amazon continues to prove that you cannot improve Android without Google's rubber stamp and that no one wants an AOSP-based phone without "Play Services" or Google's App Store. Amazon's App Store is still the next biggest Android App Store after Google's and it can barely be listed as an "Also Ran" on the scorecard way below Google's numbers.

Samsung similarly has spend nearly as much effort trying to improve Android and seen all sorts of failures. They've proved that few care about AOSP hardware improvements if it doesn't have Google's rubber stamp. They've proved in their own attempts no one wants an AOSP-based phone without "Play Services" or Google's App Store. They've proved that you can't use AOSP certified hardware to bypass the cellphone carriers' extreme aversion to a Third option in the ecosystem and continue to fail at trying to bring Tizen phones to market (because the cell carriers don't care about AOSP, they care about "Android" TM, Google Style).

What kind of "active improvement" can Microsoft bring to Android that Amazon and Samsung haven't already tried and failed at? What would be any sort of point in Microsoft investing in AOSP-based products when they have no easier time of selling them through today's cell carriers than they had with a proven Kernel and software stack that they own entirely? Especially without Google's complete consent and access to "Play Services" and the Google App Store moat, what can Microsoft possibly offer in Android that they couldn't better offer in "Windows Phone 11" that wouldn't also see the same extraordinary bad luck/worse market conditions than Windows Phone <= 10?

(ETA: Especially all that as opposed to by the time Edge switched to Chromium there were already a half-dozen other browsers using Chromium as their base and also Microsoft had already contributed multiple improvements to Chromium for years. There's no "success stories" in "Open Source" Android. There's very few people running de-Gooogled Android successfully and no one has been able to market one successfully in stores. Microsoft themselves even contributed cash for some of the hard lessons of Cyanogen, Inc.'s funding for their eventual burnout.)
I suspect that it's largely because Goodwill and Sally Ann became unofficial suppliers for vintage clothing stores. They probably upped their prices in response to that market.

And now Facebook neighborhood free groups are (often unknowingly) supplying such stores; as well as folks simply turning around and relisting on Facebook marketplace.
None of this explains the global prevalence of this phenomenon.

Everything you’ve mentioned is highly limited to the US.

Asian countries, for example, have been reducing pressure on kids in terms of schooling and exams over the past decade or so.

Exactly this. As I said in another comment that was alluding to sprint points - "nerds get no respect" is a much less true or insightful statement than "workers get no respect under capitalism, and many nerds are workers". I suspect that the OP I was replying to believes that nerds are entitled to _more_ respect than the average worker, hence their perception.

Well, he's certainly an expert at simulating intelligence.
Usually those bugs have such a large surface area that you can google and find a bunch of other people with the exact same issue. The issue are the folks who blame it without having concrete proof of that being the actual cause. "The Runtime is the issue? Alright point me to the Github issue or Stackoverflow entry that shows exactly that".

None of what I witnessed going on there was technically illegal. It's not actual graft, it's just incompetence combined with a highly diluted sense of responsibility.

There's also a sort of "rocket equation" to bureaucracy where additional staff begets more staff. Or overheads beget more overheads to deal with the overheads. And just like how with rockets the key thing is to have a fuel with good specific power, scaling an org depends very heavily (nonlinearly!) on the efficiency of each person. Conversely, if you have inefficient, incompetent, and unmotivated staff but try to scale up, the inevitable consequence is that you end up in an exponential cycle of compounding inefficiency without limit.

At this place I could not get a single VM deployed to PRD despite three months of focused effort. It just could not be done!

Hence the comments about the hilarious 90 day sprints. Well... yes. That's the fastest pace at which they could possibly move! Some manager probably patted himself on the back for a job well done! That's an "agile" project relative to the multi-year monstrosities they normally give birth to in that place...
I think you're missing the point. For the amounts paid given the relatively small tasks involved this whole thing is outrageous from a tax-payer's point of view: how much of even your personal tax dollars went burned on this? What else could that money have been spent on?
Not for nothin', opening a response with "Don't use X" seems to suggest an anal personality...
Rust is slightly unusual in that most users/potential users of it tend to be very vocal about it. It would be nice if their knowledge matched their enthusiasm.
Some of the tales from my childhood that I hold very dear to this day looked at really tough topics: death, solitude, betrayal. "Ronia, the Robber's Daughter", "Timm Thaler, or the Traded Laughter", "The Adventures of Sajo and her Beaver People" by Lindgren, Krüss, and Grey Owl are some that come to mind. Their authors were interesting, complicated people who had something to say about the world they lived in. Proponents of the coddling style of child rearing would probably declare them "traumatizing" and "inappropriate" for the 7- or 8-year old kid that I was when I read them. What turned out to be really traumatizing though was the real world, not these fairy tales — which ended up teaching me some pretty helpful lessons after all.

Wow yeah, that's bad. It took me a while to realize what's wrong with it. It seems logarithmic, but actually just between the boxes is logarithmic; inside each box is linear. That's why the points have such a strange distribution, clustering toward the left of each box.

The clustering is a visualization of Benford's law:

Sync in this situation means that the actual private key being used to sign in with the website is stored in a password manager as if it were a password, and the service vendor (iCloud Keychain[0] for example) is the one that syncs the key to other devices utilizing that password management service.

But this 'passwordless' trend is more about signing into websites - If they do implement singing into other devices, I don't think many people will do it (but it's possible - Windows Hello already allows you to sign in with a security key and disable signing in with the MSA password).
