I wrote it. I also deployed NT 3.1 in production. I was there, too. :-)

It was common industry gossip at the time, but no, I can't prove it. I have seen an answer on Quora which said exactly the same thing, for what little it's worth.
How to Send Asp.net Core Identity Emails with Twilio SendGrid
Around these parts, "veteran" is usually used to designate military servicepeople that served during times of active conflict, yet it seems pretty much any soldier that was honorably (or, at least, not dishonorably) discharged, is able to access the VA health system (we have a VA hospital in my town, and I know quite a few veterans). I'm not so sure about other benefits, like schooling, loans, and insurance.

My father[0] was a veteran. He's buried in Arlington. Got a silver star, a bronze star, and a purple heart. His GI Bill benefits got him a Harvard LLB.

I am not even close to a military veteran. I did work for a company for almost 27 years though. In this community, that elicits a lot more scorn, than it does respect.

We all do because the time dilation* is so bad it takes 10 minutes to have a button click register (not joking).

*time dilation is a hack the devs added to make it so their servers don't crash when many people are in the same space. It essentially slows the game down relative to the number of people in a solar system.
I don't think anyone (or, at least not many people) is arguing against working in the office if you have a specific need to be there. What people have an issue with is requiring a return to the office for no other reason than "group synergy".

I would assume that Eve Online has expanded and evolved so much since development started in the late 90s that migrating any significant part of the existing code base to a different language is risky. Not only would you lose the existing, battle-tested code, but also the experience and institutional knowledge around the existing development environment and language.
That’s a bit selective. I would say that a tanks main duty is to draw aggro from main damage dealers and support and act as a damage sponge.

Windows 3.11 was a thing, separate from Windows for Workgroups.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_3.1x#Windows_3.11

But I think this also explains why Windows for Workgroups was also only version 3.1 and 3.11.

WfWg 3.11 was a _major_ rewrite, with a whole new 32-bit filesystem (called VFAT and pulled from the WIP Windows Chicago, AKA Windows 95), a 32-bit network stack and more.

But they kept the version number. How mysterious, huh?
EVE is a game that goes on 24 hours a day, right? Meaning I stand a chance at losing my ships when I'm sleeping or otherwise not available to play. I've already tried a few 24/7 games and I just can't.

Maybe? I recently interviewed and nobody could tell me what the policy would be in a few months.

“It’s WFH today, but that’ll probably change. And you can always take our bus from your local AWS office to the office where the rest of the team may or may not be because we don’t know what our policy will be.”

I’d expect a company of Amazon’s size and stature to have a better plan than “whatever your VP wants this week.”

I've never been hungry by choice and I've always had a roof over my head, and I'm grateful for both of those things, but let's look at something I do know: "..could mean losing ... maybe even your mind"

Yeah, BTDT. A lifetime of mental health problems culminating in a complete ... I dunno, breakdown? ... where I was barely able to function for 2 years and became a risk to others (should have been hospitalised but wasn't), and another 2 years recovering. 4 years of my life wasted. Any projected glamour of mental illness is purely done by those who've never had it. Mental illness is fucking shit and has no redeeming value.

I would say that they were even greater inspirations for the Druid architecture that predated this latest work - we were hoping that a lot of the incremental/reactive patterns could be expressed using combinators over immutable data structures. That didn't work out as well as hoped; I think it's possible to build things that way, but it's also pretty hard going and the community never really reached critical mass.

A semi-explicit goal of this work (that somehow didn't make it into the blog post) is that developing for this architecture, both building the UI components and using them, should be a lot more fun than before. Of course, that's a slippery goal to quantify. We'll just have to see how it goes, but I'm hopeful.

The Crypto Industry Is Getting Too Honest
I couldn't disagree more with the general premise. Not a day goes by that I don't wish I had more land and space to grow things, raise animals, and let my kids play and explore their world. Clean air, less noise, more nature, and slower pace of life. Kids need boredom from time to time. It is an important ingredient to fostering creativity. Yes, it's important to be exposed to a diverse set of people and ideas. But let's not pretend that's the most important thing in life. TV and internet can expose kids quite easily to am awful lot.

You Don’t Have to Quit Meat to Save the Planet–Just Eat Less
Some people prefer remote teams, some people prefer in-person teams.

I don't know anyone who likes hybrid teams though.

Eventually I suspect we'll end up with a mix of remote and in-person employers, and workers who have a strong preference one way or another will just have to filter potential employers accordingly. There might be a way for larger businesses to have certain teams work remotely while others go into the office, but I suspect it would be difficult to manage.
I certainly don't have "fuck you money", but these days I think most competent tech workers can easily get jobs elsewhere, so I don't think it's a big, risky move to quit your job.

How to Enable Parental Control on Android
I guess @petesergeant already answered most of your questions, but to add a bit more colour...

I don't know how tough is the entry because I have not seen the other applications. What I did appreciate in the application process is that since the target audience is working professionals, you can get 3 letters of recommendations from people that you worked with, not necessarily academic recommendations (for someone who has been out of uni for a while, makes the process much less painful).

Some other selling points of the programme for me:

- 1-week modules, instead of one evening per week - much easier to organise if you don't live in Oxford

- No exams - for each module that you attend, you have one week of lectures, followed by an assignment that you have 6 weeks to submit the answers. Assignments demand a lot of time to complete, but I find it much more manageable when you are working than cramming for one big exam

- Flexible curriculum - to complete the course, you need to complete 10 modules plus a project (like a Master Thesis) in 2-4 years. But you have complete freedom to pick and choose any course from those that are offered (http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/softeng/courses/subjects.html). So you can customise the programme according to your interests.

- Time flexibility - you can complete in 2-4 years. There are 3 terms per year, so you can attend one module per term and finish in 4 years, or if you have more time available, attend more modules in a term and finish in less time.

The downside of the flexible nature of the programme is that you have less of a feeling of "class of '19", or whatever the year of your intake. You will bump into people that are taking their first or last modules, and some of them you will only see once. You will still have the chance of going out for a beer with them, so I don't mean that you won't have a chance of networking.

- It is in Oxford, which is a pretty cool town to visit, and as a student you have free access to places like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_Humfrey%27s_Library#/medi...
> Surely they can’t review every gem change by hand?

Given the nature of the vulnerability, they only have to audit yanks of gems with a dash in the name that were either not updated in the 100 days prior to the yank or created 30 or fewer days before the yank, which is a much smaller universe than “all gem changes”.
> Something is ‘notable’ according not to subjective perception but rather whether you can find third party sources to corroborate basic details.

Don't confuse notability and verifiability. Notability requires verifiable evidence, but also that the topic has received "significant coverage" that addresses the topic directly and in detail. (Lots of things are verifiable but trivial.) There are specific, detailed notability policies for everything from academics to music to astronomical objects, and even which individual numbers are notable.

CharlesW's interpretation was off, but still it's not truly passive until she stops writing books.

Continuously writing books for 20 years is work. The first book would probably have significantly less sales if the author didn't invest time or money in marketing and sequels for 20 years.

I disagree

Its a common stall tactic for large businesses to fire leadership after a Union is formed. It means you cannot facilitate a good faith negotiation and places the union in a perpetual limbo that can last years.

Yes, if one of my friends called a Bradley a tank that's close enough and I wouldn't bother to correct them. But if a reporter calls a Bradley a tank that shows that they're missing some basic "military 101" knowledge and it'll influence how much I trust what they're saying.

I agree with most of your post, but I do not understand this:

> Post install scripts are still a thing

I cannot find a situation where post-install script actually pose a security issue. I find that you'll always end up running the code you just installed on your machine (either through running unit tests, or running the actual code, or whatever). Hence, the only scenario where post-install scripts are a problem is:

- You install deps on a machine that has access to security sensitive resources (think: your ssh keys)

- BUT you do not run the resulting code on that machine.

Are there really any use-case that satisfies those requirement where post-install scripts would actually result in a security issue?
Ex Google Search quality Rater here, based in Germany. From 2004 to 2006 I worked on SQR and "special projects", with a much better pay (maybe because of german circumstances). I've been tracking the SQR-guide since then (public version here https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/guidelines.raterh...), so I have still some current understanding. If you have questions, I'd be happy to try to answer them since my NDA has expired ;-).
It gets a lot right but not 100%. Like I said, it's convincing noise.
That’s a good point (and I think it’s true), but that’s not shown here. If he wanted to work remote, they probably would have let him. Maybe he’d be an ICT7 rather than a Director, but same pay scale. His reason for quitting was he felt a more flexible policy would be best for his team. Maybe he even likes being in the office but wasn’t willing to have to tow the party line for a policy with which he didn’t agree.
I think the gold standard ended because of globalization. After all gold wasn't widely distributed enough to allow a global economy to develop so the USD had to decouple from gold.
> Your dream seems to be to set up the infrastructure for universal command and control, then expect it to choose to regulate itself.

I don't think I said anything of the sort. Just because something is electronic doesn't mean it's centralized and restrictive. My dream is one where technology is an empowering tool accessible to anyone and I'm all for regulation to prevent monopolies or cartels from imposing self-serving "standards" that block out competitors and force people into walled gardens. You seem mostly concerned about authoritarianism. I propose that so long as users are in control of their computers then computer ownership will have a net-positive impact on general freedom. If users do not control their computers then they will have a net-negative impact on freedom. So the crucial aspect is not whether or not phones/computers become required for daily life, but whether users have control over them.

Wikipedia is not a democracy, or at least it isn't supposed to be. Democracies can do things like decide that pi=3[citation needed]. Some bits look superficially like democratic procedures though. This can catch people by surprise and the outcome of diverse processes can be different to what one might expect.
the other big upshot would be that it would never leak anything in the flow characteristics of the stream.

i suspect that it might be possible to identify major websites being loaded by simply analyzing packet sizes and timings, but maybe not in http/2 world.

That's the not the intention or message, the community guidelines exist to promote and encourage interesting conversations.

What do you feel the GP post adds to the discussion?

At times I do think HN can be a bit narrow minded and a mob mentality can emerge. Despite this, I gently suggest not worrying about up or downvotes (because they're fake, worthless internet points). Focus instead on novel concepts and ideas.

I admit that I myself struggle with avoiding writing crappy posts fairly often. I'm grateful for the overall tolerance and patience of the HN community, especially folks who take the time to explain what I might have overlooked or missed. There are some pretty amazing human beings around here.

That would be a really daft rule for a union of Amazon managers to have.

Now I come to think of it, accountancy could learn a bit from IT. OK IT is about 100 years old and accountancy has been running for millenia and double entry and the three ledgers are quite well understood. Avoiding tax seems to occupy the minds of far too many people. Instead of fixating on a 20% "loss" to tax, why not try to increase production/sales by say 30%. Cost your time on each endeavour and see which makes the best return.

I think accountancy needs something like the CVE system too. So when a new tax avoidance measure is discovered - CVE number deployed, description, patches by vendor/govt. etc etc. In the UK, when you do your Self Assessment tax thing, you could simply declare which CVEs you accidentally used for a 50% discount this year but full payment next year and those not declared run 200% if found out.
> This is Web Authentication/FIDO 2. We've had security keys like Yubikeys to do this for years.

Yes - doesn't the article suggest that this would use FIDO? "According to the FIDO Alliance, users will be able to sign in to websites through the same action that they take multiple times each day to unlock their devices"

I was pointing out that this model - FIDO or some other version - does make sense. Even if the drawbacks of forcing people to use it on phones are obvious.

> There is about eight years of hardware in the market you can use rather than your phone.

If there are dedicated hardware solutions that's great! It seemed from the article like they were requiring phones - which was the source of my concern.
I think many people enjoy the option of using their phone, but don't like that they HAVE to use it. For example for most occasions you have your phone on you, but for example when it is broken or empty not having an alternative would be really annoying.
