It's not as tightly controlled from the top as RT for sure, but the BBC is definitely used as propaganda for the state. You might agree with it more, but it's presenting the state as legitimate: everything related to the crown, to the _former_ colonies, to the government, and so on, is presented working on the assumption that things are mostly as they should be. This is propaganda for the state. To be clear, I'm not saying if I think this is good or bad, just that I think it's arguably true.

Music works well for me sometimes. If I get into the zone with code or

distracted) can turn minutes into hours and the whole day flies by.
I feel the same way. There is even a culture of 'how to run successful brainstorming sessions' at my employer (sometimes called sprints). I have never once enjoyed that process, and I have never seen the result of those sessions be worthwhile or any better than just sitting down for 15 mins 1:1 with team members and talking through the problem. My feeling is that extroverts love them because it's a social gathering at work. I work in user experience.
I asked my company to get me one instead of a MacBook after many years on mac. I gotta say in person it feels and looks very different - magnesium, sharper corners, smaller edge radii, more key travel, with the OS (in my case Fedora) rounding it out. Nice!

The same argument can be made of Hare, but the reality is that closing the portability gap between C and any other language is a monumental undertaking which will take decades to complete.
Edit: seems that the usb-c ports are in fact thunderbolt-capable, per the responses below, just not certified by Intel (yet). That makes the modules a little more interesting though I still think the current offerings for the cards is very lackluster.

I can only suppose it is getting design awards because it was designed to be modular rather than looking at it from a pure aesthetic point. It looks fine to me, it's almost reaching the perfectly boring laptop aesthetic. This isn't a denigration, I like unbranded simple clothing like uniqlo and the like as well. I personally do not own one, but my impression from the videos I've seen is bifurcated between appreciating the modularity and hating the implementation.

A framework owner might be able to enlighten me on this, but the display bezel being attached by magnets just seems a bit flimsy to me. I like the idea of the different expansion cards, but it does mean that there is no thunderbolt which is a miss for me. The full sized display port expansion card is definitely a win, but the rest seem unremarkable and frankly does the same or less than a usb hub. This could of course change depending on your own inclination to build expansion cards or third party/future first party cards, but right now the offerings aren't exceptional.

I do hope they are making enough money to see a second generation and see just how flexible their current chassis is. The new 12th gen intel chips or a ryzen version would be very welcome to see.

Matt Levine: Citi Did a Flash Crash
One could use $4.5k RTX A6000 48Gb instead.
They can be joined in pairs of 96Gb common memory pool with NVlink.
That’s 7x$4.5=$31.5k in GPUs to get 336Gb of memory.
Or 8x$4.5=$36k in GPUs to get 384Gb of memory.

Add say $3k per GPU pair for surrounding computer (MB,CPU,RAM,PSU) 4x$3k=$12k.

$48k total budget.
I went here 4 years ago. Hypocritical society, everything seemed fake and useless, made just to impress. Someone was writing below about infrastructure and all that. It’s what I would imagine the US, everything being made for cars, a huge n-lane highway through the city, impossible to walk anywhere, except maybe the fake marina and the fake neighborhoods. The only genuine place there was the old town, but I might suspect that was also fake.

Public transport is for naive Europeans and the slaves, oh, sorry, the Asian people exploited to serve and run their society. The whole city is full of people impressed by the so called wealth and futurism, tasteless shops, malls and skyscrapers.

When I left I said to myself I will never come back to such a hypocritical and shallow place made for wannabe Instagram millionaires and low level mobsters.
Mostly, there are so many IPs those attackers can use. When I look at the smtp/imap failed authentication attempt logs, the patterns are fairly obvious. Different IPs trying similar looking emails in a sequences. I think in most cases where banning the IP, even only for 24h, will do the trick (and /64 block for v6).

Also there is something to be said for generating the password yourself and sending it in clear to your users by email. The reality is that if the attacker has access to your client’s emails, it’s game over anyway because of password recovery. And this way you enforce that your clients will not reuse a password, and will have a strong non brute forceable password. And if you get hacked, at least you didn’t leak that precious password your users reused everywhere else. The only issue I can think of is that’s because smtp is the most neglected protocol of the internet, there is no way to ensure the email will be encrypted in transit.

It probably never makes sense not to use the whole 25 minutes. If you think you got all of them right in less than that time, it pays to use the remaining time to double-check your answers. The test seems to be calibrated such that if you get all the questions right, and use exactly 25 minutes, you score the maximum, 145.
It's also wild how they flubbed the name so hard with the Wii U, right after they flubbed the name with the 3DS that had the same issue in early days, where people thought it was just another variant of the DS (which already had several variants previously)

Then once the 3DS had some success, they had to confuse everyone once again with the "new 3DS" which I suppose was at least less of an issue since it wasn't really a new console. But it sure as hell makes the used market confusing, when you don't know the difference between a new 3DS unit and a used "new 3DS" unit

Ask HN: Local Development Environment with Containers
Good morning, we are working to migrate our microservices to containers by the end of the year.
How do developers work with containers in their local development environment? What workstation are you using? What IDE? What kind of software are you running locally? Is it even necessary to have all developers working with containers locally?

We are going to be using OpenShift and Podman.

I am part of the team leading the charge. We will eventually have to roll this out to a couple hundred developers and what to get an idea of what people are doing.

Thank you!

It's hard to remember how much controls for 3D games were a wild west for so long, especially on PC. (The original Tomb Raider controls are pretty bad, too, for instance.) People act like modern WASD+Mouse Look is an "ancient" standard passed down for centuries but a lot of that was hard work in 1990s and a lot of failed control schemes that never quite worked right, even in their time. (Similarly too how relatively "ancient" the modern two-stick controller flow feels, but isn't all that old actually. Remember how the N64 named the weird yellow D-Pad the "C-buttons" in part because they thought that might be more natural for "C is for" Camera control than the dual stick position?)

The word "contractor" is overloaded. Many folks, apparently including the Nintendo workers described [1], are actually not contractors, in the 1099 sense, under the law. Instead, they are W-2 employees of Company B, which is hired by Company A. Company B is legally responsible for offering them benefits, but they don't have to be equal to Company A's.

A career change via a coding bootcamp: My journey so far
I’m reminded of the saddening story behind (potentially) SEGA’s greatest failure that essentially killed them in the console business - the development hell that was Sonic X-Treme.

X-Treme artist and developer, Chris Senn and Chris Coffin, became so ill during the development process, living under desks at SEGA Technical Institute and treated more like robots than humans.

Doctors said Coffin would be ‘dead in 6 weeks’ if he continued development, X-Treme was cancelled - and SEGA’s flagship mid 90’s Saturn console never got a mainline exclusive Sonic title.

The hell game developers often go through actually caused me to stray from my initial teenage ambitions of being a game dev. I’m so, so glad I chose mobile instead.

You are fundamentally misunderstanding the relationship between Rust's unique and shared mutabilities and the usual mutability in, say, C. The Rust equivalent of C mutability is Cell. Conversely, the C equivalent of Rust's unique references is a `restrict` pointer.

Cell is meant to be applied at the "leaves" of a type where individual assignments take place. When used this way, there is no additional copying relative to the straightforward C version. (Bringing up Vec and heap allocations here is also complete nonsense; Cell has nothing to do with Clone.)

Once you wrap your head around that, all your shared mutability examples translate over to Rust trivially. All the "sacrifices" in speed you are imagining are relative to `restrict`/`&mut T`, not the usual baseline of a simple mutable object.

You, as an experienced adult contractor, can say this.

Now imagine being a naive post-teenager being offered to work in "the greatest video game company of all time" but under the sole little condition that you are hired as a contractor.

It works with any big name that you would be personally proud to work for.

And what is even more saddening is that the more the brand is loved (Nintendo is part of the childhood of basically any today engineer), the more they can abuse those tactics. For a lot of people, working for $BIG_COOL_BRAND is already felt as such a gift that they would sign anything without negotiating.

Like everything in life, the older you get, the less you fall in those traps, but that’s not a problem : there is a continuous influx of new people ready to fall for the same tricks.

Again, also very situational.

For example, at the site where I worked we needed much stricter protection but we didn't want to bother the established users of the site...so we setup trust scores and implemented stricter controls on a sliding scale. The higher your trust score, the less strict we would be with our policies.

As a brand new user, your score was a flat 0. You could boost it by verifying a credit card, phone number and address (without using a VPN/Tor). Successful transactions rewarded your score. Transactions with established users are more valuable than transactions with other new users, etc.

All the security was virtually invisible to the established users and it worked like a charm.

Regarding the fingerprinting, at the time that we were doing this anti-fingerprinting technology barely existed. We had some other tricks in the bag too to fingerprint based on behavior. It was a lot of fun working on that stuff though. Very much a cat and mouse game.

> CT is meant to help find illegitimate server certificate issuance by participating CAs, but it cannot help the user-agent get past illegitimate server certs.

That's the point though. I'd rather the user-agent tell me that the certificate is invalid. That's as far as it's currently going anyway when a certificate is, for example, self-signed.

> Besides, the whole point here is to make the user-agent fail to load the page,

That's exactly the minimum that should happen, yes. User-agent sees that the certificate isn't correctly issued for the domain and refuses to send the HTTP request (though SNI is already sent...)

> the network operator does not just not mind that the illegitimate server certificate is noticed, they want it noticed.

More than just noticed: the network operator wants the user to inappropriately act on the illegitimate server certificate.
