I really appreciate this comment. Thank you for framing it this way, sincerely.

Doing the work is hard. Putting yourself out there in a vulnerable state and hoping for the best is almost AS difficult.

So, the best of luck to the OP. Adapt and grow.
Roll back the tech level and go vertical silo.

The auto industry buys bolts and makes pistons because the marketplace can't make pistons, roughly. They have the know how if the bolt marketplace collapsed to turn steel rod into bolts, maybe not as easily and cheaply as it can be done now, but if the bolt market died they'd make their own bolts.

The commodity microcontroller is dead. My guess is crappy "homemade" older-gen FPGAs made by GM for GM products will be the future of automotive ECUs and other automotive apps.

In 1980, $100M built you an entire fab. It costs GM about $300M to remodel an old assembly plant. They can either go out of business because 2022 chips are unavailable or build their own fab. Hmm I wonder what they'll do?

The nice part about building an older gen FPGA is it quite accurately emulates an older gen chip, usually using a lot more power and requiring a lot more silicon, but at least it works better than "next estimated shipping date 2024"
You can still do a webpage just like you did 20 years ago, inserting a couple HTML tags in a notepad.

Now the scope of what a webpage is capable of is infinitaly larger, and so is the complexity required for using all the new possibilities. If you want to use advanced stuff without learning the basics, than of course you're going to have a bad time.

It surprises me that colleges teach web frameworks.
I have a blog post in the works to go into depth the thoughts about this.

The gist though (copied from the introduction):

--

Proximity of related concerns is as important as separation of concerns. Whilst it is important to keep your backend logic, front end JavaScript, HTML, and styles separate, it is also incredibly useful to have related code in close proximity.

Front end toolkits such as Vue.js, with its single file components and newer "utility class" based CSS frameworks such as Tailwind, have shown that keeping related aspects of a component in the same file helps to reduce code rot, and to improve the speed at which developers gain an understanding of the component.

--

Really the intention is that you can keep small parts of CSS/JS close to where it is being used. Larger functionality, particularly anything reused, you would still break out into separate files.

The creator of htmx refers to this as "Locality of Behaviour", they wrote a good post on it (https://htmx.org/essays/locality-of-behaviour/)
This is exactly correct. Hock (love him or hate him) knows exactly what he is doing, and is entirely unapologetic. He looks only at margin. You have $10B revenue stream at 2% profit margin? Hock will happily cut that in half for a 10% margin he can depend on. It's all about ARR. Great for shareholders and those with a mountain of RSU's... but not so great for employees. Was at CA...saw it happen.
And so you arrive back at XML + XSLT.
That 5-line description alone freezes my brain.
If you use this though, you should be aware that the Lambda-SQS polling mechanism doesn't know about the concurrent execution limits for lambda. If you have set a limit on concurrent executions for your function, or are at the account-level limit, the Lambda-SQS polling mechanism will continue to poll for messages and invoke functions even if execution would fail. This will increment the receive count, and if you have set a limit on the receive count, you may find you drop messages or send them to the DLQ when your handler function hasn't yet had a chance to try and process a given message.

Well, I did.

> I'd genuinely like to hear an elaboration on this.

You already alluded to it. NodeJS's take on modules (which are not CommonJS[1]) were never a good idea, and they were never standard, least of all in any sense that matters.

Too many people treat the NodeJS project and its associated silliness like it's the be-all and end-all of "JS". It's not. It's a single, standards-incompatible runtime packed with proprietary features leading to obvious pain points (like the module fiasco) that are foreseeable from a mile away.

Previously: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31331358>

> your two referenced articles are just people who dislike JS railing against it for its own sake

Wrong. I happen to like JS. It's why a spent a huge chunk of my time (before NodeJS was even a thing) making sure that there were high quality JS docs available on developer.mozilla.org, and it's why I wrote that post diagnosing the problems with the NodeJS culture that can (and should) be fixed to repair the JS onramp to be friction-free the way that it was before (and repair JS's image from the damage done by the NodeJS project, cf OP).

But it doesn't sound like you've read them at all (nor does it sound like you're able to meaningfully separate JS from NodeJS yourself).

1. Isaac S: the best thing for me, and for node, and for npm, was just to go off the reservation and focus on the things that I knew mattered. Ryan basically always gave zero fucks about CommonJS anyway. One evening at Joyent, when I mentioned being a bit frustrated some ludicrous request for a feature that I knew to be a terrible idea, he said to me, "Forget CommonJS. It's dead. We are server side JavaScript."[...] we went pretty far off the reservation in v0.4, with the whole node_modules folder thing, and loading packages via their "main" field. Maybe we should remove those features, I'm sure that Node users would appreciate us being more spec-compliant!

This is almost written like a parody. Government backed electronic money is utterly dystopian to me. Imagine all the "nudges" that could easily be introduced. You're buying too much [bad thing], card declined. You're costing the health care system too much by being overweight so we'll restrict your food allowance.

I am working more on Linux these days because I am too tight to upgrade from 12Gb RAM, and that seems like not enough to do dev work in Windows, but an endless bounty to do the same on Linux.

Also rm -rf being instant is a big win (I know it probably isn't under the hood but I don't care, as a user I can get on with my day).

Also another nice suprise - I can get photos off my iPhone without it screwing up. Not possible on Windows. I can get the original DCIM images in the weird iPhone format (which is perfectly viewable in Linux too) and I can access all the hidden files to the extend iPhone makes them avilable.

I am really liking the experience. I am not into 'hacking' and just want it to get out the way and make it easy for me to install stuff and use it, so I go with Ubuntu.
> The major sense I get from Canadians whenever I arrive back is an enormous sense of financial illiteracy. Like they just don't know or care about how badly they get ripped off all the time on so many things and will never care enough to do anything meaningful about it.

In reality there is nothing meaningful Canadians can do to fix this, that isn't how things work in Canada. MPs and MLAs don't listen and no party that could actually win will take the required steps to solve this problem. It's extremely difficult not to be apathetic when you know the fight isn't winnable.

People know they're getting ripped off, that's why anyone who can goes to America to buy essential goods.
Windows works (nearly) fine if you block all connections except those from the "Core Networking" group.

Of course you won't have access to some services in that case, like Windows Update, etc. One particular weird thing I have noticed is that the process that checks CRL on behalf on others is LSASS. So basically you have some extra tuning to do to get a system to your liking if using just the Windows Firewall, after you block everything but "Core Networking" (and programs you want to authorise), but it looks reasonable. I would suggest saving the initial state before you go that route, though.

If you trace connections you will find funny things, like cl.exe phoning home.

> You can still do a webpage just like you did 20 years ago, inserting a couple HTML tags in a notepad.

Yes, I agree. That's exactly what I said in several parts of my message. However I believe you missed the point and didn't notice the sarcastic tone.
This is my first reply to you, so how can I argue against your point again? Also it seems I can count myself lucky to work under a chief technology officer that actually thinks about technology and also understands actual benefits, not the ones just looking at the gardner quadrant of "who paid the most for pr". Besides that:

How vmware is a safe choice is beyond me, their proprietary so one is mostly locked in and at their bidding, their standard support reply is to install from scratch as otherwise the won't look at the setup. If you don't look at the technology POV (in addition to others) the choices probably won't be the best.

Notice how on Proxmox.com there's a testimonial page that links to enterprise and gov't customers, how's that different "Enterprise Marketing"?

Proxmox also has reseller partner all over the world:
https://proxmox.com/en/partners/reseller

So we got enterprise support, world wide enterprise reseller network, enterprise features available for all, with or without support, not sure how much more enterprise vibes one can get..

vmware isn't really moving forwards since a while, the acquisition by broadcom won't help that either IMO, but sure they're currently still able to pay "bribe" some CTOs or sales people lunch, so they got that edge going for them, won't be enough to stay the #1 in the long run though.
Then why aren't you doing anything about it? Why is the contrast between Canada and the rest of the world palpably stark? Why do banks get away with disgusting loopholes like getting around laws by calling themselves "financial advisers" rather than advisOrs?

The malware group is not asking for donations to organizations, but to individuals at the hospital. They are requiring that someone at the infected business records videos of themselves going to a hospital or health clinic, looking for people who seem like they need financial help and offering to help them pay for their medical care.

1) Good luck suing poor individuals to get your money back
2) It's hard to fathom what kind of asshole you'd have to be to walk into an ER, record a video of you offering people money to help pay their hospital bill and then demand that money back off-camera.

Agreed overall, though I think that last sentence is probably a very good thing.

If OEMs improve their product so that it does not require an expensive cosmetic rust repair at 10 years, but instead the cosmetic problem is hidden so the car lasts an extra 5-7 years before becoming a throwaway product, the consumer has a net win overall.

Dual boot or have 2 devices. Also Wine?
That's one business opportunity.

The other business opportunity, complementary, is security devices to protect your parts, extra tricky huge locks and their lock-picking sets, secure parking lots along routes at premium fees and then of course a special platinum lounge thing with concessions. And marking parts with license plate numbers.[1]

Great alignment of incentives among the two excellent business opportunities.

[1] That last one I saw in Chile in fact like in 2001, stamping license plates on mirrors. Worse mirror of course. They also did windows, you wonder why, guess they had a glass stamping machine and not enough customers, wanted to get more money from the same customers. The dentist thing basically.

i think because what is asked for is a list of revoked certs, and the connection being used could be already on that blacklist. the list must available without the involvement of what is being checked.

> The core of DOD is not about optimization or making fast programs through hardware consideration; it is about organizing programs around a deep knowledge of data and its transformation.

This is a very surprising take to say the least. I always understood data orientation in game dev as exactly that. Can experts chime in on this?
Aurora innovated by replacing the storage layer with a network store. Replicas don't need their own copy of the data (they point at the same network store) making replication lag almost non-existent. It means new replicas can be brought up in minutes. It allows really cool features like fast cloning and point in time recovery.

AlloyDB takes the same approach and adds some additional optimizations in query execution. It introduces a new caching layer and claims to use ML rather than a simple LRU cache. It also introduces cache-only representations of data in a columnar format, which allows it to greatly speed up analytical queries.

If this was a clever hack, I'd agree with you, shit happens.

But for gods sake, having secrets hardcoded in VCS??

You seem to understand threat modelling. What's the threat towards one of the biggest and most used package registry?

It's not like npm Inc just started running the registry. They have been doing this for years. To let such a beginner mistake risk the supply chain of basically the entire JS ecosystem is not only sloppy, it's completely unprofessional.

What can we do in the short-term? I'm not sure, but I hope smarter people than me comes up with some solutions ASAP before a compromise like this starts actually impact developers using npm.

If you’re open to switching to Reaper, it’s my understanding that their Linux version is coming along well. I’ve read good things about it plus LinVST. Of course, I’m also unwilling to test this myself and I’ll probably run MacOS until the day I stop making music.
Thanks, I wasn't aware of the critiques!
I mean you can do what I did and leave. A lot of intelligent people have already. Hello, doctor shortage?

It's a nice passport.
For work I use Macos because that is the only option I have for several reasons; and I also like it.
For gaming and media consumption, there is no HDR support on Linux and there won't be in the foreseeable future. So, Windows there.
As an aside, is mother actually the term? My first readthrough of your comment had me envisioning an incredibly knowledgeable parent with a cool hobby before I realized what you meant!
It's moving in that direction, but far from all are based on their compiler still.
That's obvious. It's much less expensive to buy a Windows PC than a Mac. Linux on the desktop is still quite terrible in a number of ways (particularly if you are ever unfortunate enough to deal with drivers and kernel modules for your slightly uncommon hardware). Chromebooks still don't rate that highly and haven't really entered the public consciousness as a result. Not to mention that many people are using Windows at work, in education or in plenty of other places where they ultimately don't get to choose.
Me too. But what really suprises me is that today that's virtually the only thing some of them are teaching.

It's Java or Python for programming basics (arithmetics, ifs, print), then straight into frameworks.
DRM and Content contracts. They can't just throw 4k into an unsecured environment because they need to make a best effort to enforce that their 4k content isn't pirated.
I tried running Pop OS for the last 3 weeks on my desktop machine. It's got 90% of the polish I expect from a UI/IX - which I can live with. I sadly switched back to Windows yesterday because I couldn't solve the following problem: I use Remote Desktop to get into my work machine - I have a 4K monitor and I couldn't get the scaling to work the way I expected with Remmina or freerdp clients. I had hidpi scaling enabled (150%) in Pop OS, but whenever I would connect to a remote session it would connect at 2560x1440 which made text ever so slightly fuzzy. The only way I could get the behavior I expected was to disable hidpi in PopOS, but then everything is too small.
Yea I feel like most of these differentiators aren't things most people care about barring one. Tight integrations with c/c++ is potentially useful, beyond that I don't really get it. It's kind of like Hare in that regard?
Everybody hypnotized themselves into believing that daemons are not secure and can never be made secure so they run one daemon per container. Instead of investing in making daemons secure, the industry decided to invest in making daemons heavier, so each daemon can now be provided with its own hardware/OS abstraction layer.

Why run daemons in containers instead of using proper process isolation? Because containers absolve the system administrator from understanding their systems.
Thanks for the explanation. Have you run walk-forward tests to see if your models have predictive ability out of sample?
This article conflates monetary inflation with the EFFECTs of monetary inflation...

Inflation within the context of state level economics is the reduction in relative value of current monetary holdings.

That's it.

There's nothing magical, hidden, or complicated about it.

How it arrives, how it is dealt with, and how much is desirable for specific effects is all up for debate and the article has some great info and analysis there.

The most common reasons are monetary expansion and scarcity changes in resources. The most common methods of adjustment are monetary contraction and increases in resources.

But it's not unreasonable that the certificate-in-question is indeed a root CA: all machines (not just this specific Verifone model) will error-out on an expired end-entity certificates and the same can be said to intermediates (assuming that they don't issue directly from root). I've checked the original post where they're talking about this and it mentioned a server certificate so unless that machine choked on ECC certificates (possible but considering that no-one in the banking industry has encountered it as the error and the solution is a firmware upgrade, not that the server must back out of ECC deployment or apply dual ECC/RSA capabilities), speculating that this is something that other than root certificates doesn't align out with reality.

3. Games? (I am not a gamer)

It takes a bit of effort to switch to Linux, for most people's lives they are probably not aware of Linux, or even if they are don't see the point because Windows just works and does what they need.

Possibly their logic is that a Linux 4k player would more easily allow third party Netflix clients to be developed, because Linux software is more easily reverse engineered? Maybe their DRM is different for different kernels and different resolutions and they don't want to maintain an extra codebase? Really not sure, seems absurd to me as well.
I was thinking the exact same thing, as former (and reformed) lightweight teen hacker. My motivations? Employment? More like for the sheer joy of discovery and fascination with working through ideas. And maybe the slightly sketchier teen hackers: lulz.
