You're not overthinking it at all. I have two YubiKeys for that reason. I also have a fire safe with some important docs in it (hopefully the yubikey won't melt!). Plus, I'm older, and I'm getting forgetful, and I worry I'll forget my long lastpass master password some day, let alone all my SSH keys. There are real assets tied to my passwords. Fortunately at my age I have a relationship with my estate lawyer, and financial advisor, who has power of attorney so most of that is safe, but I don't think anyone has really figured out how to handle long-term digital assets. In fact, I'm actually working on a side project to do this.
The "job market" argument no longer holds up with Google ruling the education roost. You won't see Chromebooks or GSuite's Docs/Sheets used in enterprise as frequently as Microsoft's products.
> to get truly high performance on today's many thread many core machines you need shared memory concurrency more like Java

JavaScript supports shared memory concurrency.

Shared memory¹ is available in browser WebWorkers these days.²

Atomic ops for building multi-threaded data structures³ are available too⁴.

Including primitives for thread synchronisation⁵⁶ used by mutexes, condvars, producer-consumer queues, etc.

Ask HN: How to spend (IT security) training budget
I am a mobile security engineer and we have a training budget of 1100€ per employee at our company.

I can't really think of anything I'd really need, but I also don't want it to go to waste.
Also there are so many good free resources available online.

Do you have suggestions on how to best spend it?

Ideas I had:
- Books (I mainly read online blogs)
- Hardware (I have a tablet for reading, a raspberry to deploy mini projects and testing devices)
- Certifications (Don't really need them currently and not a big fan of the time constrained certs as I'd have to renew them)
- Courses (There are a lot of good free courses I can do)
- Access to platforms (e.g. Hack The Box, TryHackMe, ...)
- Soft skills trainings
You know a person have no clue about education when they suggest to use vim to teach people how to code.

Sharing from my experience of selling SaaS products for school management to schools -

1. School staff is not tech savy. They can not install or manage open source easily.

2. They mostly prefer commercial software with paid support. Software is critical to them but not their main business. They lack expertise and willingness to go for Open source software.

Schools need long term turnkey solutions that offer support and someone who will pick up the phone when they call. The school district I went to used macs and you were allowed to install whatever browser you wanted on them. We used google drive or just the hard drive to store files. Forcing folks to use niche software means they cannot just use whatever the rest of the world is using when they graduate. Teachers, parents, students, etc would need to learn these new programs that they haven't used before. I don't really seen any positives to this except a feel good story about open source. Who actually knows what the costs would be? The support time? Etc. I'm sure there will be a lot of school sysadmins reading this and thinking "please just stay in your lane."

The trouble in most such places is it's not legal to arrest someone if you are not a police officer and the police can't be bothered.
What’s amazing about that, is if you did “454” “54” “51” people would probably react positively because they would feel like they “figured it out”.

Your problem was a) breaking convention b) not letting the other party get their own dopamine boost.
I don't think it's a stretch to assume malice, billionaires are running the show and they aren't nice people that want to build a better world. If they want a population of poor, ignorant and unengaged worker drones they're doing great though.

Greek: "ὁ γὰρ πρότερον ἐὼν αὐτόθι αὐτόματος κατεκάη"

(http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%...)

Literal translation: "because the one [= the temple] that previously existed in the same place completely burned down on its own"

The crux here is on "αὐτόματος", for which see LSJ: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/morph?l=au%29to%2Fmatos&...
"There is no historical record of..." is an interesting assertion. On the one hand, it's easy to make and sort of requires no citation because there wouldn't be one. "There is no historical record of Caesar's fondness for juggling." But on the other hand, it's a dangerous claim because it's extremely falsifiable, like in your example. But I suppose it's easy to say "whoops, I read all of the historical records but forgot about Histories book 2, good find!"

I advise you to go visit a Stasi museum in Germany sometime, look at what they were able to do with paper documents and film/tape.

Now imagine what they could do with today's telemetry obsessed economy.

When I was in my 20s I thought democracy was a given... "getting old" might just mean you've been alive long enough to realise that democracy is fragile and the shit sometimes hits the fan... We are one misguided vote away from handing over the ultimate panopticon to a malevolent government, and we will never be able to organise a resistance to win power back, because it will be snuffed out in its infancy .

The karma on the posts says otherwise, but thank you for your opinion!
I tended to agree with the soft version. But I just realized, what it's saying is that you need to know about a concept. The language is not necessary.

In theory you can imagine a concept, not give it a name, and still use it. You can't communicate it through, which severely limits it's use. And somehow I suspect that naming the concept makes it easier to manipulate, so perhaps that is a 'weak' version of the theory?
> You won't see Chromebooks or GSuite's Docs/Sheets used in enterprise as frequently

Right now we don't see it. GSuite will completely take Microsoft's place in corporate environments in the next 10 years. All my peers entering the workforce right now love Google docs and detest Word. It's just a matter of time for when that age bracket becomes the decision makers.
> Imagine a system of gears. Turn them and adjust them in your mind. You’re thinking in images rather than language.

California Civil Code § 3426.1 defines "trade secret" thus way:

> “Trade secret” means information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program,
device, method, technique, or process, that:

> (1) Derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and

> (2) Is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy

Unless this bill contains its own definition, "trade secret" in this bill will be the same as that.
I did not mean my point to be that it was only school closures. My guess is that it was a combination of all items. I would just wager that school closures are the dominant factor.

I cannot underscore enough just how sick families get by having their kids in schools.

To your last point? I got nothing. At large, we were trying to make a bad situation better. The vehement arguing and digging in on not doing anything seems like it is really only going to make things worse.

I will also throw under the bus that it was a single thing that worked. Even my "I think it was largely the school closures" is banking that it is one of the largest factors, but I don't think it was large enough that it alone could accomplish what we did see.

Perl v5.36.0 has been released
Gimp is quite on par with photoshop, and unless you are a pro, the difference of feature set doesn't matter.

On adobe, I prefer using photopea than ever having to touch photoshop again, that's a tell that it isn't all that great to since a free to use replias fits all my needs.

I would concede photoshop has a better UX, on Windows and OSX that is true, but on its native linux home, it blends rather well with gtk approach to UIs and flow.

IDE wise, plenty of OSS solutions on par with commercial products now, at least for tooling education needs.
Could be worth distinguishing between open source and free-to-use.

Something like VS Code works nicely but costs nothing.

If there's a budget problem in schools there's certainly software that can be used without paying for it.

True human extinction doesn't seem plausible, but in a worst-case scenario we can imagine a > 99% drop in population, roughly to what is sustainable without technology, in a dramatically harsher world.

("Without"? Well, nobody today knows how to build a cast-iron plough.)

I don't believe this scenario is likely. For one thing we're not headed for 8C of heating; for another, technological change seems to be coming just in time to head off the very worst outcomes, assuming we struggle hard enough.
So what's the implication, that DDG is deceiving its users through tracking scripts? Wouldn't this also require buy-in from individual websites to include the DDG script?

Any amount of details would be useful to evaluate your claim.
To elaborate, it's around 65% homicide, 30% suicide, and 5% accidental or undetermined.
Agreed. The first scenario really suffers from conflating "boring" with "obsolete". If anything, most exciting technology has a much higher propensity to becoming obsolete than, and also long before, most boring technology does.

I think this shows one of the weaknesses of the building analogy.

Buildings might stand up to basic civilian attacks usually, but probably most aren't built to stay up in the face of the sort of things that a professional military can bring along -- artillery, etc.

In software, where things can be copied essentially for free, there's no need to have a military industrial complex to mass produce artillery if you want to go around blowing things up. Tools from intelligence agencies leak, and then can be copied infinitely, eventually trickling down to script kiddies. There's a blurry line between intelligence services and criminal organizations in some countries. There's a blurry line between military spying and corporate espionage in others.

A world where some teenager could buy nearly-current tanks from a guy their weed dealer knew would not have many tall buildings, I think.
California instituted term limits for its state representatives in 1990. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but what you end up with is that the most senior politicians in Sacramento are the lobbyists.

The outcome of that is that most bills are written by lobbyists and most state reps vote how the lobbyists tell them to, because they lobbyists are the ones making the deals with the other lobbyists, instead of the long time representatives being in leadership.

Each system has its pros and cons, but one of the main cons of term limits is that lobbyists are in control.

It's not an exact measurement of incoming solar energy, but the Earth has supported abundant life through a much wider range of climate variation than anything we're facing today. I don't know of any evidence that we're in a climate "sweet spot" where we'd need to worry about something like that. (https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-qa/whats-hotte...)

The risk to children from COVID-19 is much lower than most of those other things you listed. It's basically just a cold for children who don't have serious co-morbid conditions.
Not that long ago (5 years) I was teaching in a school that still used Internet explorer. I commented to the it guy that I used Firefox. His response was "I'm not having that rubbish on my network".

A lot of school IT staff I've met in the UK are not at the cutting edge. Many of them are older, have an out of date skill set, and don't get regular training - there's just not the budget for it, and many schools would baulk at paying market rates for talented, up to date support staff / management.
Ask HN: What's your favorite flat file blog?
A few years ago, I started a blog and decided to use flat files. I used Node/Gulp to create a simple system that used the directory structure and JSON files to create the post structure. It worked OK, but I haven't updated the blog in a while and moved to a new computer, and now nothing builds. I now want to start a different blog and would like to go with a similar approach.

Ideally, I would like the following:
- A flat file blog that I can maintain on my desktop and publish to Github, maybe support comments via a service Disqus.
- Pick between Markdown, HTML or a WSYWYG editor to update posts.
- Prefrably not PHP based.
With open source you typically trade polish and easy-of-use for customizability and transparency. I feel like that’s the opposite of what school staff need, who are typically overworked and want simplicity above anything else. They need technology that is as transparent as possible, and open source software is typically not that.
Solution: move somewhere else where workers are not treated as cattle by big corporations. Like, say, anywhere in Europe.

Seriously, we pay $380 per month for childcare and each parent gets 20 days of paid your-child-is-sick leave, on top of the 20 days of regular sick leave and mandatory 25 days of holidays each year. All of the above is according to law and applies to everyone, whether you work in tech or you're the school janitor. I have never seen a hospital bill above $100, and I have a chronic autoimmune disease. With a population larger than Alabama we have never had a school shooting in the entire history of firearms. I can keep going like this, but you get the picture.
No. A self-hosted language means the language's compiler or interpreter is written in that language.

Go is written in Go. rustc is written in Rust. clang is written in C++. Etc.
Are there any studies showing if people carry guns always to all places there is reduction in shooting? I guess one point in favor is there are no mass shootings in military or police offices.
I suspect the point is more that PEs and architects are supposed to deal with a known set of threat models, most of which ARE NOT nation states deploying dedicated teams to getting inside the building. We don't harden every building for military attack.

Software, on the other had is expected to stand up to being exposed to nation state level threats that we know about, as well those in the future that we don't know about.

We can't get mad that Sony was hacked by North Korea in the same way that we wouldn't be mad at the engineers if the studio building burnt down after being bombed by the North Koreans.
The entire reason why this category of small dishwashers exist is because some people don’t have space for a full sized one.

Unfortunately, something being legislated does mean nothing. In Germany, there has been Covid location tracking via an app (Luca App) for venues. Despite legislation explicitely forbidding that, police tried and gained access to this data.

My previous car sometimes came up with a warning that eCall currently is not available. I'd attribute that to bad reception which means that connection at least has been tried.

I mean the guy may be delusional, but he's right on the climate part.

Even if our tech improves and we cut carbon to zero in a fairytaleish fashion we're still up for a 3 deg temp increase till 2100 which will be rather catastrophic. Of course the developed world will be hit the least due to its location, so we'll likely be fine for the most part but it will be troubling time regardless. It all depends on cascading issues that we can't really predict, like warming causing some fish to go extinct that ate eggs of some insect that will now breed uncontrollably and push out useful pollinators from the ecosystem, leading to crop failure and such.

To be honest, I find Photoshop to be not so good for many use cases. Gimp is not ideal, but I use it much more often. Like alpha channel editing? Absolute nightmare in Photoshop. In gimp it is just another channel and I can apply curves or other effects directly to alpha channel. How about ability to save/not save color info for pixels with 100% transparency?

Or saving image where Photoshop often does not remember from where the file was opened, or that I have to manually select a file type from a drop down. In gimp, just type the extension. I also like scripting and automating using python.

On the other hand, Photoshop excels in layer effects. In gimp, these effects are applied and you cannot mutate the underlying layer (like change text with shadow and bevel).
> As far as I know most industries other than the software industry uses Windows, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Photoshop, Illustrator etc and not any of these open source ones.

The reason for that could have to do with schools. It could change if schools changed.
