> If they are not flexible and open to change where it is legitimate and makes a positive impact, but instead act as some sort of holier-than-thou cabal where outsiders are shunned as they "don't get" Gemini

One of the main goals of Gemini is to have an immutable spec. The goal is to never add features. So yeah, the Gemini community is a little tired of people proposing changes and features to add to the spec. And I think it’s fair to say at some point that you “don’t get Gemini” if your first message to the mailing list is a request to add features.

To address the favicon point—the spec explicitly disallows making more than one request to open a page. Favicons require a second request, and therefore are not compatible with Gemini. The Gemini community has had the conversation about favicons and decided they didn’t want them. AFAIK no browser supports them by default. Now what?

To the TLS point, someone in Geminispace very recently proposed removing TLS citing the same arguments you did. There were dozens of Gemini posts made going back and forth, but on the whole the demand wasn’t there and we’re going to continue to use TLS.

Gemini’s simplicity makes it super easy to criticize aspects of the design or suggest new features. So it gets boring. I could go find thousands of words on why Gemini doesn’t have TLS. But it wouldn’t be a better explanation that the one on the Gemini home page, which I assume that you’ve read and are unhappy with.
I'd be interested to hear why you think this, or if you can link to something that explains this perspective.
Way easier and way cheaper than a layoff. No messy separation payments, etc. political theatre as well.

Dmtcp: Distributed MultiThreaded CheckPointing
Ask HN: If Kubernetes is the solution, why are there so many DevOps jobs?
Arguable the goals of DevOps align partly with the goals of system administrators in former days: Provide reliable compute infrastructure for

1) internal users: mainly developers by providing CI/CD
2) external users: end users

Nowadays we call people that do 1) DevOps and people that do 2) SREs (so one could argue that the role of sys admins just got more specialized).

The platform of choice is mostly Kubernetes these days, which promises among other things stuff like

- load balancing
- self-healing
- rollbacks/rollouts
- config management

Before the cloud days, this stuff has been implemented using a conglomerate of different software and shell scripts, issued at dedicated "pet" servers.

In particular, a main critic is "state" and the possibility to change that state by e.g. messing with config files via SSH, which makes running and maintaining these servers more error-prone.

However, my main question is:

"If this old way of doing things is so error-prone, and it's easier to use declarative solutions like Kubernetes, why does the solution seem to need sooo much work that the role of DevOps seems to dominate IT related job boards? Shouldn't Kubernetes reduce the workload and need less men power?"

Don't get me wrong, the old way does indeed look messy, I am just wondering why there is a need for so much dev ops nowadays ...

Thanks for your answers.

And that is despite birds eating bugs.

On a more serious note there are people that demand software engineers being certified. This is even more funny because they believe a state certificate could eliminate bugs.
Where I live (NYC), the minimum wage is $15 an hour, which is certainly better than the federal minimum, but is still basically unlivable in New York. Cheap rent here is on the order of $1,200 a month (and that's for a roach-infested, lead-painted mess of an apartment), not even counting any other expenses.

It's expensive enough that I think it prices out a lot of low-wage workers, so I think the answer is "yes", the wages are still an issue, at least in some places.
Is the title irony or just plain ambiguous?
If it had kept up with inflation it would $28 an hour. Says a lot about the vastly growing difference in earnings and how much the poorest have lost out.

The reasons are workers who left the workforce in the pandemic (many older or women with children), and the lack of immigration.

I talked to a lot of companies when interviewing a few months back. All of the always in office or 3 days a week in office firms were not paying a premium over remote roles. This made me ask myself, if I provide so much more value in the office why can't they share some of it with me?

>But we aren't taught how to negotiate, question authority, organization (the real kind, not the following orders kind), collective bargaining, solving conflicts and compromising as equals etc. These are _essential_ life skills.

It's against "the system's" interest to teach these things to any useful degree.

At the bare minimum the institutions that are responsible for the bulk of the teaching in our society would be making their own jobs harder if they taught that stuff.

I think it might also be a disability issue. Long covid is no joke and the ONS today announced the UK has 2 million sufferers. Some 1.4 million of those are heavily affected by the condition and many wont be able to work. These people are mostly of working age, that is a very large amount of people to loose in a country with 39 million working age people.

I'd guess that the expected commercial value being low would be the norm, and discoveries making millions relatively rare, just as this is in every other context. However, the second half of your second paragraph is where my mind went to first, because what gp says happens does happen, albeit at a normal (low) rate. The motivation of people working in science is different, as it is in say the games business. Game developers have historically been paid lower except at a tiny handful of companies. Not 33 cents on the dollar, but maybe 50 to 70 (bearing in mind that FAANG/unicorn salaries are not the norm either)
This has been my only issue with using Taskwarrior.

Crypto is just fedualism with land=coin. Really. That's what it is.

It's about as anti-freedom as one can imagine. It's "freedom in form" and not in content. It's the freedom of the colonizer on new land, and the oppression of all else who live there. A necessary oppression, not open to revision, and executed by machine.

Again, your rhetorical questions are straightforwardly answered by history. Humanities departments have survived for centuries at relatively non-prestigious institutions. It is clearly possible for societies to fund such things if there is the social and political will to do so. It may be that there is not, at present. Nonetheless, it is a vast oversimplification to suggest that recruiting talented academics in the humanities is essentially impossible merely because humanities departments are not profitable businesses. You might as well say that a country can't have armed forces because the soldiers don't turn in a profit.
The nation's immigrant population (legal and illegal) hit a record 43.7 million in July 2016, an increase of half a million since 2015, 3.8 million since 2010, and 12.6 million since 2000.

As a share of the U.S. population, immigrants (legal and illegal) comprised 13.5 percent, or one out of eight U.S. residents in 2016, the highest percentage in 106 years. As recently as 1980, just one out of 16 residents was foreign-born.

No of course not. It is an encouraging statement which comes from experience. People (and past me included) tend to _underestimate_ their managing superiors, business owners, big clients and so on and think they will not respect a push for improvement, but I found that the opposite is true just as often. It's often a win/win whether you fail or succeed.

> I am wrestling with this feeling of guilt that I can't get motivated like I used to. I've tried doing the things with tech I love -- like working on my website -- but lose energy quickly.

Your free time activities shouldn’t be similar to your work time activities. That’s a recipe for burnout. Get away from the computer! Go outside, go to the gym, go to a social event. If you sit in front of screens all day for work and then sit in front of screens all evening after work, you’re going to feel unmotivated and burned out. You must get out and do different things. More than you’re already doing.

Second: Learn to pace yourself. It’s not realistic to expect to be motivated by every task forever the same way you were at first when it was new and exciting. The tough truth is that you need to learn how to structure your days as work, which often means doing things that are uninteresting or not naturally motivating. You shouldn’t be doing these tasks for 12 hours per day and crushing the backlog at a rapid rate all the time, but you must learn how to sit down, work for 30-60 minutes on your top priority task, get up and take a 10-30 minute break, and then repeat.

Forget the guilt for not doing everything as fast as possible. Learn how to sit down and work for at least 4 hours per day whether the tasks are interesting or not, then learn how to turn it off and go do the (non-computer) things you like.

It’s not about the work or inherently motivating tasks. It’s about contributing, working with your team, and getting a reasonable amount of work done.
It's not clear that AML regulation actually is all that effective. It also makes it a lot harder for competitors to start in the banking and finance industry.

"Based on 2009 data, the UN, with US State Department assistance, calculated the global success rate of money laundering controls at just 0.2 percent (UNODC 2011, 14, 119, 131), but, as noted above, the confiscation rate might be 0.07 percent. In other words, despite ubiquitous money laundering controls, criminals retain up to 99.93 percent of criminal proceeds."

The greatest gift Palm's WebOS gave us was the unified calendar (and the greatest curse was those ads with the lady on the rock). I agree that having too many calendars is problematic, but I think a handful of calendars, shown together, and shared as necessary, is the answer. I also am troubled by putting personal stuff on a work calendar, because I think that's a line that should be rarely, if ever, crossed. If you were unsatisfied with your employer and interviewing, would you put interviews on your work calendar?

Another commenter mentioned it, and I agree, there is something to running a calendar server of one's own, if one is capable of doing it. I've been trying to scratch this itch for years to little success, but feel like it gets closer all the time. Things like NextCloud make it even easier still, but lack the way I want to deal with groupware (service accounts). I'm hopeful that Apple Family Sharing can solve some of this for me and my partner as we both use iCloud calendars today, but haven't set it up yet.

Over all, I agree, and wish I knew the answer, but I don't.
I won't discount the risks associated with electronic voting and electronic machines in general, but 40% of "wrong" votes are almost impossible to miss with the most rudimentary checks. Eg. if 60% of paper ballots have a ratio swinging 4 to 1 one way, and 40% of electronic votes have a ratio swinging 4 to 1 the other way (this is commonly done in any statistical endeavour to detect correlations, and much smaller effects can be noticed), any observer and participant in the elections can notice that when looking at the final tally, as long as there is a breakdown by the type of vote submission as well (which is already done for things like mail-in votes).

And if a vote is swinged completely against the actual public vote, you'll only end up with either a quick drop of the electronic system (which all the IT providing companies like MS or Intel would hate to see happen, which is an incentive for them to not interfere), or angry mobs hitting the streets.

Basically, what you are left with is influencing the outcome so that what would have been a 51-49 winning party is now a 49-51 losing party. Yet there are other "unfair" ways to achieve that even today that are not as involved as hacking the entire electronic voting system (as I mentioned, media manipulation being the key one, or providing benefits to vote a particular way or...).

So yes, ultimately, everything can go wrong, but no, it won't because there are safeguards against that happening regardless of the method of voting.
You used 'privately owned' to indicate it being shady.
When I was a teenager, I was a little asshole to fast food and phone tech-support workers (basically falling into the "Karen" stereotype of people). I feel pretty bad about that now, because of course these people don't make nearly enough to put up with me being a douchebag to them. It's entirely possible that I ruined at least a few people's day by being a dick, for no other reason than I was unwilling to realize that people making minimum wage really shouldn't be yelled at unless they're mean first (which they generally aren't).

Nowadays I try and be extremely polite to people serving me food or checking me out at the grocery store, and make a point to only be mean to people whose job it is to be yelled at.

In the least Bitcoin provides an option to opt-out, an alternative that puts some pressure on central banks to have sane monetary policy.

It allows people in Lebanon (~200% inflation), Zimbabwe (~700% inflation) and Turkey (70% inflation) to maintain the purchasing power of their wealth and to protect it from confiscation.

There are many other advantages of Bitcoin, but these are already significant.
> management just wants you to shut up and do the job, and not try to change anything.

Yeah I'd agree especially for example a company with constant short deadlines. Complaints about the short deadlines and making a big fuss about it is not going to work as those deadlines are imposed by someone with ultimate power in the org. In their mind you're just a piece of dirt under their shoe, someone who cranks the handle and complaints are not welcome.

If you're in an org where something like this is happening it's often best to move on to another job. Trying to make any sort of change in these orgs is like pissing in the wind.

They don't care and will often fire you as a trouble maker.

Just move on.

Sony vows to ramp up PS5 production to levels 'never achieved before'
you are implicitly arguing for browsers to become operating systems
FWIW, this was not a proper FF but it's Fennec from F-droid (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/).
Ask HN: Does your org use a password keeper?
I work for a large (~10k) organization that obviously interacts with a number of different systems/applications on a daily basis. The average employee likely has 10-20 (hopefully) different sets of credentials that they must maintain and update as necessary - I can only imagine there are a variety of Password, Password1, Password12 combinations in use.

I'm curious if anyone has experience with an enterprise/corporate level password manager. Ideally, it would be tied to the user's AD profile so when they log in to Windows they would just need to enter their master password and it would integrate with the browser to prefill passwords just like 1Password, or BitWarden.

Looking at 1Password's website, it's 7.99 USD per user/month which gets very pricey with 10k users. I'm curious what other folks on HN are using. I appreciate your feedback!
