Maybe I’m wrong but I would assume everyone on hn knows about KA.

It’s been a fantastic resource for a decade, I used it during my undergrad engineering courses to get through some tricky parts. Along with https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/ Paulsonlinemathnotes

Khan is hugely impressive, I think he started out as an electrical engineering undergrad and it really shows from the way he would set up the problems state the knows and unknowns and then go to work through the math steps to the solution. Early on it really gave me the insight on how to be methodical when working a problem.
Goodfellow is one of the most prominent figures in machine learning. He came up with General Adversarial Networks at the age of 27.
As a mac user, I was going to provide a flippant answer, but I decided to look into it instead. Personally, I use zsh or a custom built shell scripting library inside swift. Always like to see improvements to shells though. Googled for it and got a dozen guides on how to install it in mac, but none that actually explained how to use it. (One video result looked like it might have some info, but to me that doesn't count as documentation). All the documentation on powershell is targeted at windows devs, and it's just a very different culture.

> I genuinely believe many people who prefer working in an office versus at home have unfulfilling social lives or bad home lives. The social dynamics, competition, in physical offices fills the void in their lives. Also seems like most of the people clamoring for a return to the office are also climbers & middle managers.

This.

I've recently switched officially to a de-facto full remote position after years of full remote due to COVID, as did most of my team, and I also see this pattern among the coworkers who decided to go to the office. The return-to-office cases boiled down to:

* Rented a tiny apartment to maximize disposable income but it's very unpleasant to live in, let alone work,

* Share a 3-bedroom flat with 3 or 4 newly-graduated and yet-to-graduate buddies,

* A young upwardly-mobile professional who wants to maximize his presence around the senior manager to fulfill his career-growth plans.

I dare say that in two dozen team members, only 5 or 6 want to return to the office, and about half of them need it because they can't afford a decent apartment.
It's a strange attitude, to be sure. In my experience, many Americans have the view of "if it's not perfect, it's not worth doing" when it comes to large-scale social or legal concepts. It's like they don't accept that there's going to be inefficiencies in any large organization.

And, yes, so many rail against something like single-payer healthcare because it would be "unfair" for them to pay for someone else's care, when they already are doing the exact same thing as part of private healthcare! Not to mention it would be cheaper, but paying $5,000 for single payer is seen as evil when people are paying $10,000 for private healthcare! (both figures are simply illustrative and not intended to be factual examples, before anyone rips my head off)
There are a ton of things that were created years or decades before they became popular or useful. That's ridiculous logic.
Thanks. I knew about it, and has been on my to-read list for a while.
> It seems from a banking perspective an address is more secure than most forms of identity.

My Indentity card has chip and pin on it with my biometrix data. Some countries have cryptograpgic signatures in them.

You think addresses are secure? They are not even real. They are not a spesific location like GPS coordinates.

They are any written text that gets mailto you. An address of 'big yellow house' can be valid. The following 'address' was delivered:

“Lives across the road from the Spar, his ma and da used to own it, his mother was Mary and da Joseph, moved to Waterfoot after he got married, plays guitar and used to run discos in the parochial hall and the hotel in the 80s. Friends with the fella who runs the butchers in Waterfoot too.”'

> It should be possible to decide, for example, that the build can only access files in a particular directory, and if that is violated, the build system will error.

(How) does that work for dynamic file access? I.e. the files are often not known at build time.
The biggest problem in "default deny egress" is CDNs. It's a colossal waste of time to set up firewall access lists for your build agents, but even for your production environments - as soon as you have one external API that is hosted behind Cloudflare, Anypoint, Cloudfront, Akamai or one of the hundred other similar services, you may as well give up. Simply because it's extremely annoying to keep up tabs with changing IP addresses.
Not sure why you are so hung up on the semantics. Obviously the "legal definition" of frontrunning is different from the crypto native definition. What matters is that it adeptly captures the nature of these actions.
Our experiences are very different then. We do 1:1 personal zoom calls, we’ll play board games online, we have a drop-in company-wide hang out every other week, and we pair quite a bit and very often through a zoom link in slack asking for help.

I guess it depends on what you want out of work. If you’re the type who wants work to be _only_ work and absolutely nothing more, then I can see how the forced interaction at an office would be beneficial. Otherwise a strong culture around people and collaboration makes the office largely irrelevant. Yes, you do miss out on the random hallway interactions, but there is no perfect solution and I happily trade that for no commuting, hanging with my dog all day, mid-day naps, my own office, throwing in loads of laundry during the day, private bathroom, better coffee, etc etc etc.

"obeys to" sounds carelessly translated from French.

"His Mercator projection map, first completed in 1569, straightened the earth’s surface and opened a new era in cartography and maritime navigation." Well, it gave a flattened representation of the earth's surface, but what paper map doesn't? I also question the "new era" as far as maritime navigation. Yes, the Mercator projection shows compass courses as straight lines, but a lot of people, with or without compasses, had sailed a lot of places and back already. Magellan's expedition had been around the world by then.
Because just letting people pick where they want to be taxed/sued/regulated doesnt work. Laws change from one place to another. Where you live matters to which laws apply to you. Where your bank account lives matters to which laws apply to it. Would you rent a london appartment to someone if you might have to sue them in Quebec should they fail to pay rent?

It does feel like the barrier to entry for that kind of deep knowledge career is increasing these days.

Maybe it's because I live outside the United States, but it seems like it's much harder to build a "pathway" into work that demands that intensive, deep understanding of engineering on computers. At least one that'll pan out in my 9-5.

The supply of problems that require deep knowledge vs framework Kung Fu... my impression from ground level is they're tilting more towards GitHub martial arts every year.

The supply of companies outside the United States with a deep interest in these topics is sparse, to say the least.

Can you control the styling though? So you could embed it in a document with an existing style for diagrams?
I totally agree with you. That was a mistake on my part . I had my number on the account a few months back.But my thinking was similar to what @orblivion posted below

"Because I've been warned by security conscious people never to use phone number as a 2FA because it's so insecure, and using it as a recovery option seems to create an even weaker link.". I happened to read so many articles in the recent past of SIM Swapping, that I was afraid to use my cellphone number as 2FA and removed it from my gmail account. What with Google being evil and all
More and more it feels like the death of Wikipedia is coming and maybe that's a good thing, thus making space for the next "Wikipedia" that could improve on many shortcomings of the current implementation.

It happens so often on the internet that people who lack competency to be a just moderator, end up being moderators and then abusing the power that was entrusted to them, without any consequences...

It's just sad...
A lot of people don't have nice urls for their homelab services, having to memorize IP-numbers and ports is a lot harder.

Personally I get a nice feeling of accomplishment from looking at a dashboard with all the services I've set up. It's maybe not super useful but it's nice.

I got into a bit of a rabbit hole after reading this WSJ article, which lead me to find this related article about the "ADHD industrial complex"[0]. It perfectly sums up the pattern been noticing the past couple years of ADHD becoming way too sensationalized on social media. For example this TikTok with 9 million views [1] that portrays universal things like not enjoying waiting in lines, or the texture of certain foods, as ADHD behaviour.

The comments sections on these posts you'll be sure to see something along the lines of "omg I'm convinced I have ADHD now". I have always heard the narrative that ADHD is extremely over-diagnosed. Surely its sensationalization on social media plays a large role in that.

Telehealth startups like Cerebral are just adding salt to the wound. I don't live in the US, so I was shocked to see how these companies advertise on social media [3].

I can't help but imagine a user flow along the lines of:
a). Scrolling through your feed seeing some memes about ADHD. Including this one [4] that conveniently lists out all the symptoms, and this one [5] that tells you how to speak during your consultation so that you don't get flagged for drug-seeking behaviour.
b). Scrolling a bit further and see an ad for ADHD consulation
c). Stimulant prescription after 30 minutes of regurgitating memes you saw on social media

So a digital identity system needs to be implemented. Something akin to what quite a few countries have already implemented.

I'm unsure why it would require more discussion at this point. It's not hypothetical science fiction without practical examples.

Of course, it has to be in a tax haven. Otherwise there's no point in being a digital nomad in the first place.
> Random, but honest, question: Do other folks find DB diagrams to actually be useful?

Personally, yes, although TBH I haven't tried them with DBs have hugely wide tables or a high number of tables.

> things quickly become a morass of tons of intersecting relationship lines, and I just end up spending all my time trying to see how things are actually connected.

So look at a "sub-diagram" - diagram of some of the tables.

> a tree view of all the tables in a list,

Just think of the diagram as that tree view and choose an arbitrary order of visitation of the nodes, e.g. Left-to-Right then Top-to-Bottom.

Nope! Specifically meant this advice in the context of people who looked at the top of the line iPads and were hankering "to fully use the M1/Ax processors" to the point where they had considered cracking the hardware open or jailbreaking it. If you are looking for a computing appliance on the happy path then an iPad could be perfect.

Personally I would say I don't really know what the top of the line iPads are _for_ that the midrange ones can't handle but I can imagine there are apps out there that stress them when multitasking. My point is that if you want a general purpose computer to fully use the hardware we should just buy those instead of trying to make an iPad one of those.
Perhaps 95% of people truly don't get that choice, but your hypothetical junior engineer certainly does, at least given the current market for developers. Unless you consider "taking the highest paying job above anything else" to be an irrepressible force.
And? The Mark IX, was ‘carrier’ tank Aka an APC. One was even considered an amphibious tank via flotation tanks and bilge pumps.

Various examples of radio tanks existed who’s job was communication a role which any modern AFV with a two way radio can fulfill.

The Renault FT was considered a French tank and looks closer to modern designs though with a machine gun rather than anything heavier. Except again a huge number of variants was created to fit a range of roles including laying cable.

Probably, and what management blunder that would have been if Jeffrey had left Microsoft because of it.
Some days the best work I do is at 2am. It's not just physically quiet but also some wider level tranquillity, and there's a chance to truly get into that deep focus zone.

Looking at other commits would guess it is the same for colleagues also.

That's a mistake I will never make again. Your phone number is insecure - but even if wasn't, you are setting yourself up for losing your account forever if you ever forget to transfer all your 2FA numbers, or if the phone company decides they want to cancel your contract, or potentially if you lose your SIM card, or even if whatever SMS gateway doesn't like your number for whatever reason.

Literally, you are giving your account to the phone company.

I'm more convinced by the printed security codes. I have encrypted copies in several storage providers, and that includes publicly-accessible copies. I have a copy in my safe, I have some in my family's safe in a different country. No phone company involved.
One can, but I've found little value to this. What are you giving your readers with JSON feeds that the RSS or Atom feed isn't giving them?

Honestly I enjoy writing powershell more than bash scripts. Bash syntax is arcane and sometimes inconsistent where as powershell 7+ is fairly comfortable syntax.

However, powershell does often feel cludgy and I often have have to figure out how to do more complex things. Not a perfect solution but it integrates with Windows nicely.

How fast does Google respond with your data? I know Facebook's data export took me at least a week last time I did it (back when they first announced it).
Most service's email confirmation codes/links have an expiration timer that is pretty short.
If Google were really malicious they would just make you wait a week, or more, until they "gather all your data" making it not possible to migrate your accounts.

What should be possible, though, is to migrate your account without access to your email. For example make the user save a special TOTP secret that will be used only for dangerous actions and not just for logging in.
This commentary is incredibly inaccurate. The code of version 1 of tracetogether was open sourced in April 2020. The server side wasn't open sourced. There was a hardware based version of tt that went through a community based tear down and it was reliably determined to be only doing (as did the phone app version) ONLY bluetooth-based contact collection. At NO time is any GPS or location data collected. The hardware token only has a bt based hardware and nothing else.

It is true that the Government kept insisting that there is no way the data will be used for any other use and the minister who kept repeating that in parliament subsequently had to apologise that it was indeed used for a murder case. But, legislation was introduced to specifically limit the use cases of any of the data collected - https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/proposed-restrictions....

The contact data in the phone or hardware token is stored for 21 days in a rolling manner with only the latest 21 days available and should there be a need to send the data to the health authorities in the event that there is a need for actual contact tracing, the data extraction is a two step process: a) the owner of the device (phone/token) has to agree to the extraction b) there is a OTP-like code sent to the individual for it to be entered into the phone for the data to be extracted.

Now, should the person deem that he/she does not want to make the data available, the app in the phone can be deleted and be done with. At which point nothing much can be done for subsequent contact tracing.

The right to privacy of data etc is embodied in the Personal Data Protection Act of 2012 (https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/PDPA2012) and all of the data in the app/token is convered by that law.

Yes, trust in the Singapore Government dropped many notches when it was revealed that despite numerous assurances that data won't be used for anything else, that it was indeed used and for a specific criminal investigation, it left a bad impression that the SG govt has not recovered from yet. Suffice to say, as of last month, you can delete the phone app and just take the battery out of the hardware token and be done with it. There are, however, a small set of scenarios where the "SafeEntry checkin" via the tt/token is needed - for places where there are large number of people attending, like weddings, concerts, etc. What I've done is to "force stop" the app in the phone, deny bluetooth access to it and just keep the app still installed.
Svelte might not be internally as ergonomic as React, but the fact that it ditches “everything needs to be native JS” principle, allows one to build components with much less boilerplate. This translates to more readable code, less boilerplate and lines to type. Effectively Svelte sacrifices some of the purism principles in the favour of better developer productivity.

The trick with Svelte is that “two domains” are very, very, close to each other. A JavaScript programmer can learn and understand Svelte after 2 days tutorials.

I have never heard anyone "spreading FUD that .NET isn't OS" but I have heard plenty of times from Mac and Linux users, "why would you want to use PowerShell" and I am mining this thread for answers, because I honestly don't know for myself.

And it's objectively true that .NET/PowerShell is targeting Windows users, (which if you're Microsoft, why wouldn't you do that?) so, assuming that you don't care about interoperability with Windows users, don't use Windows yourself, don't have any customers asking for PowerShell support for whatever XYZ widget you build... what are the compelling reasons to run PS on Linux or Mac?

Setting up .NET is an investment, and learning to program it is an investment, people invest in the Go, Rust, Ruby, Python, TypeScript, JS ecosystems because they are generally useful, and that extends to Windows people, but if I'm building a product targeting Mac or Linux (servers), what is the incentive for me to make my customers install the .NET runtime at the proper version and fiddle with .exe files (or am I completely off base about how it works?)
Looking at how the economy is going, leaner times can be expected. Unrelated to the article, but are there any data points on whether remote workers are more likely to get cut in a restructuring when a company needs to reduce costs?
My answer is: I’ve been using sh/csh/tcsh/bash/zsh/fish for almost 30 years at this point. I’ve used powershell on windows, and it’s not bad, but it doesn’t give me anything useful on Linux I don’t already have with bash or zsh. And whenever a script needs more power, I reach for Python.

(Maybe I should xonsh instead? But the question for me isn’t “why not pwsh?” But rather “why pwsh?”)
Some HR departments gets so large and fluffy that a significant amount of employees do "HR for HR". Internal stuff that is completely disconnected from the rest of the business.

Those that sometimes actually do talk to the business are called "HR business partners".
A lot of it probably is, the problem with classical art, or say surrealism, is all the trash has been forgotten, and the only thing that is remembered is the good stuff. With modern (contemporary) art we have to wait for the winnowing to occur.

Same with poetry, people do read and write poetry still, I've always loved Dylan Thomas. I feel his poetry is, perhaps, very approachable for techies:

> In the office you walk to the coffee room in that time and there you meet people in the same phase. They are taking a break and you don't interrupt each others work when having a chat.

Except those whose assigned desks happen to be close to the coffee room/kitchen. That's the problem with the way offices have been designed - there is always going to be some subset that has less than ideal conditions.

The worst open office setup I saw a year before the pandemic had a conference room with no door, just a big pane of glass and a gap in the glass to enter. There were desks outside this conference room (like everywhere else on the floor) which meant whoever had to sit there was subjected to meetings and speakerphone all day long.
