I am actually interested why a working Ubuntu 18 password, although with user apps/Desktop locked under passphrase, after a relatively long period of non-usage stopped working. It was a sort of simple password and entering it was easy, so probability of multiple incorrect attempts should have been low. Are there some default values of incorrect password attempts/periods of non-usage etc upon installation or anything else?
Lattedock is the best dock for any desktop environment I've used (including Windows/StarDock, MacOS/built-in, and Gnome/Dash-to-Dock). Install Latte, run Latte, and finally delete the bottom panel. It takes less than a minute to change it.
Ha ha, what tax return? Thanks, though. Setting up an account today.
Linux barely works as it is. I no longer have any interest in debugging my desktop technical problems. Which means my best option is to use the most popular environment so when I do encounter an issue, there is likely to be someone who has already encountered the same issue and reported a solution.

Until Ubuntu switches to KDE, I am stuck in the Gnome-lets-remove-desktop-icons-because world.

> they just want fair treatment

There is no such thing as fair, it's impossible to even define what that would be, and that's the whole point of the free market, that it solves this problem. The more you use these outdated political catch phrases, the more impractical and meaningless things become. Life is unfair, nature is unfair.

> No one "prefers a society where everyone's poor", that's just childish and off-putting straw men by you.

This is demonstrably what happens as we have seen during 100 years of large scale experiments involving millions of people. If you keep pushing socialist politics from the 1970s I'm just going to suspect that the same bad things will happen, as happened then. When there is such a massive body of evidence, why should anyone suddenly start thinking "oh yeah, I bet it works this time, let's try that again"?

> Please explain how having a few billionaires "comes with the benefit of more jobs" and stuff for everyone else.

Because it's the only way to make people pull in the same direction, to create value in a positive bottom line.

> How is it better to share the crumbles, instead of the whole bread? Perplexing.

Because there will be no bread to begin with, if you share the whole bread, because nobody wants to bake a bread when they are forced to give away the whole thing.
As a heavy terminal/editor user, I use KDE because it's not too difficult to stop its programs stealing the Control key. It could, and should, be much easier (global) but at least it's possible.

Generally a free market is one where the rules are arranged voluntarily by participants. Not sure what you mean by “work properly,” but there are plenty of examples of people successfully producing goods and trading them free of coercion.
Pretty cool, I noticed it works both in the browser and command line. I suppose you are using the User-Agent header to detect which version to serve? Which library did you use for the interface?
Study Leetcode and get good at it - it may take a year or more, but in doing so you'll learn, even if it's just how to solve Leetcode.

Then use your skills at Leetcode to apply for jobs, get one, and learn on the job.

Lots of other good comments here.

I just want to add that that fact you are aware that you have gaps, and have explicitly identified what some of them are is a massive step forward in sorting out the situation.

I would also say that you are not alone in graduating with a CS degree while having many of these gaps. Much of what gets taught in CS is not directly applicable to many parts of the software industry, and many causes leave out a lot of content that would be. There is remarkably little consistency between coarses. I have interviewed people at your level and seen radically different levels of understanding of even some of the most basic concepts. It's made me quite angry at the institutions on the candidate's behalf that they have graduated with so many basic gaps.

All the gaps you've identified can be rectified with practice and material available online, and you sound like someone who will pick it up. Personally I would recommend finding little projects that involve the thing you want to learn, so build something that needs a database etc. Keep them relatively simple to start with, don't try and build something that will take months.

You've shown you can learn, and you're self-aware of what the gaps are in that learning. It might be hard in the immediate future, but taking what you've written at face value you sound like the sort of person who will do really well once you've got going. Don't let the process grind you down, and don't let imposter syndrome make you feel like you can't take a shot.
He just bought a house for $133,000,000. That's enough to give everyone who was laid off slightly a severance of more than $120,000. Somehow I'm expecting accountability to be significantly less than that.
I remember losing a bet a while back, because I was naive enough to think that was how cookies worked in the first place. Why did other sites ever have access to cookies they didn’t create was beyond me.
If you don’t want Firefox to do even that, you can go to Settings, click on Privacy & Security, then choose the Strict option. It’ll warn you that it might break sites, but you can always turn it off on a site-specific level by clicking on the shield in the address bar and turning off the toggle.
A sufficiently large GPT model could probably comprehend the guidebook, in some sense, assuming they manage to increase the input size enough to ... I guess, let it condense the guidebook to some kind of internal language and then make use of that and now I'm just speculating wildly. ^^;

If I had the GPUs, it would be an interesting thing to experiment with.

However, having comprehended the guidebook, it then needs to also comprehend the nethack terminal client. The pile of obstacles does not cease to grow.

Those work by redirect you on top level domain (the url you see in url bar) shouldn't be affected. They don't even share cookie directly anyway. (Which is just.... standard oauth)

Those work by enbedded into pages (iframe) or popups may.

The biggest offender of this kind of usage is probably facebook comment / disqus comment.
Why would say Python obstructs the thought?
To be clear, I am saying that this one feature is done better in Finder. Explorer has many cool features, but in this case it's not up to par.

Both examples present us a line of breadcrumbs. Both allow you to interact with the breadcrumbs directly and use them to navigate, or right-click to copy them as a filesystem path. so far so good.

But Explorer falls short here: At no point does the filename you are focused on appear in the trail of breadcrumbs. Not in default mode, nor in the abrupt switch to plaintext if you click a little past the breadcrumbs. In Finder, the focused file appears at the end of the list and you can right click to copy the full path.

Essentially, Explorer is limited to providing the enclosing folder only, which is a kind of stunted quality to this feature. I'd say in the majority of cases, you are trying to grab this path to do something to a specific file, not to an enclosing folder. Copying off of a network share, or some GUI scp/sftp application... those sorts of things. In Explorer, no matter what you are forced to switch modes to the keyboard, to type out the file name.

This is just not the case in Finder. You can grab the path up to the file name from the get go and do your thing, never switching modes to the keyboard if that's how you want to work. For that reason alone the Finder implementation of this specific feature is superior.

And one last thing? at no point did I say you have to 'edit any preferences' about this. You can toggle the breadcrumbs on/off with a single item in the 'view' menu. Some people may have toggled it off, so I thought I'd point it out.
Mixxx is better still, as it is free and open source.
The organic substances can survive billions of years in most meteoroids or asteroids, due to the extremely low temperature. They are perfectly frozen.

Most of the ambient radiation is absorbed close to the surface, so the organic substances that are buried even a few mm will not be affected.

This is an extremely common modus operandi. It is like the police invades groups suspected of crime too. This isn't some elaborate conspiracy plan, it is one of the most effective ways to undermine any group. And of course PR is important, even and especially if you own a newspaper.
APL grammar has its flaws, but one thing it gets really _right_ is operator precedence. In an expression like this:

A op B op C op D

No matter what _op_ is, it parses right-to-left:

A op (B op (C op D))

Much nicer than having to learn a subtly-different version of C's already convoluted operator precedence[0] with each new language that comes out.

Exactly, I did startup before, and my take is: Rust is absolutely the worst choice for startups.

to survive startup, you need a large pool of talents, mature and verified and boring stack, easy to find tutorials, etc. The least thing you want is to spend cycles on fancy new bleeding unstable languages to build your earth shaking product.
Mozilla occasionally rolls out features in the current release via remote mechanisms. So it's rolling out to existing v101 installs now. I would assume that v102 will also ship with it on by default.
Maybe only a few countries allow to terminate and put on garden leave immediately, I'm not talking about them. There's always some procedure that ensures that dismissal is fair and justified: when this procedure is concluded and there's no other option found but to fire, the employee should not be entitled to work until contract is terminated - they can be put on the garden leave and in that case their access should be terminated, the equipment they used can be sold etc.
Isn't the promise of the web is that it's supposed to scale without a commensurate increase in man power. If so why are companies laying off staff when things get rough. Were these staff not needed to start with if so why were they employed to start with. Or are they eating the seed corn so to speak?

I am not sure if Jason Roberts was the first to use this phrase but here was his take on Luck Surface Area back in 2010. That was the first I personally heard of the term Luck Surface Area.

If your browser is set to update automatically, then yes you'll get this feature. It's not a flag being switched on remotely, it comes with an update.

It's a catch-22 situation. You'd like to avoid unstable people to pilot the plane, but any atempt to filter out unstable people would lead to people hiding the condition and enduring untreated mental disease, what makes the situation worse. I don't see much to be done, beyond screening people that are entering the profession, and then ensuring the work conditions don't make people sick afterwards. When the Germanwings flight went down, I remember it was noticed the pilot was bullied at work. They should have cracked down on the bullies.
Yeah seems like a lot of the programs aims were to build a moon base of sorts and get a person to mars. They obviously haven't met those goals and have now been heavily defunded, enough that it'll be impossible for them to actually follow through. The latest goals are the same and I can't help but be sceptical if they'll ever get back to the moon.

It is only slightly suspect that they cite Sweden vs the whole EU excess deaths per 100K, instead of Sweden vs the most comparable countries ( that had the opposite Covid policy), the other Nordics. Deaths in Southern Western Europe were much higher than in Northern Europe, so that will absolutely skew the numbers so that it looks like Sweden's policy was justified. Compared to it's direct neighbours, the death rate is similar, and same goes for economic downturn.

From the article:

> It's a different scenario from traditional investments. Many bank accounts, including checking and savings, are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. for up to $250,000 per account if the bank goes under, while the Securities Investor Protection Corp. helps if a broker or dealer goes bankrupt.
We need data for this. More importantly, we need data for how tough it is to get certain jobs. That means stuff like:

* Time spent on finding a job

* Time spent on studying in order to attain a job

* Actual amount of hours worked (hard to get accurate data on it)

* Actual amount of effort per hour (hard to operationalize)

It's a very tough discussion to have, but I have a gut feeling that you're simplifying too much and are partially wrong. But I can't even give evidence that you might be wrong because I don't have data. So at best I feel we're both blind and we don't have a one-eyed king that can see! ;-)

I wonder if there's anyone from any advertising/ad-targeting companies on HN who can shed some light on if/how much this change may affect their "product".

Asking this since I know friends working at companies that were DRASTICALLY affected by the Apple advertising changes in terms of user targetability (and hence revenue) and I'm wondering if this change will be similar.
Yes they did. It was foreseen, look at the sibling comment where the issue was discussed in the spec. They just punted, just like they did with https and CAs. (And Javascript, for that matter, although that's less directly security-related.)

The concern was being first to market, not with solid engineering.

Weak EFF demonstrates again why they lost my monthly donations. They should be recommending totally eschewing social media, replacing spyware operating systems with foss, and simply explaining in plain language - if your mobile device has the capability to install "apps" from the "app store" - the device itself is inherent spyware which multiplies this problem. Instead we get the equivalent of hopes and prayers.
A long time ago.

Sourceforge has been more or less abandoned/forgotten for the past five years. Some projects continue to stick to it though due to inertia and laziness.
talk to your laywer. there is probably some mistake in your paperwork or something that's not so clear or maybe the wrong people were left out/included in the process. European work laws can be complicated and not all hr people are on top of everything.

Helped me a lot a few years back and got me from "you are fired without severance" to "you are paid for six more months, you don't have to come in and here is half a year's pay in severance". Companies want to shock you into submission, hand it to an external party, lean back end enjoy.

Even in Austria, tech workers ca be fired on the spot without any reason and sent home (though you stil have to pay them the duration of their notice period, which I believe is called gardening leave on this topic), or you can still keep them working in the office during their notice period, but then you need to give them 10 days off to look for jobs.

> I think I'd just quit if I was told to lay off people on my team.

I was at a startup that had massive layoffs during the pandemic. I was able to protect my team (though I had to rescind a few offers).

The problem was that after the layoffs, while everyone was still grieving, management decided to come down really hard on my team and others. I realized at one point I could either keep my job, or protect my teams sanity for the next few months.

I chose the latter. Upper management didn't like it, but my team got time to heal and after I was let go and my team survived for another two years.

I had never been fired before, but when I was I honestly felt a bit a pride that this "leadership" team felt I wasn't a good match.

I don't know if there's a point to this story other than that, when the shit hits the fan, you can standup for what you believe in and fight to make the tiny bit of this world you have some say in a bit better. I've known plenty of people who just shrug their shoulders in such times and say "what can you do?", but you can do something and in my experience it is worth it to take a stand at these crucial points.
> Does this only work if you use the same email across multiple sites?
At a huge risk of EU regulars cracking on, it is quite possible to track a user across multiple accounts by simply using a cookie that lives long enough (say, 30 days) to establish the connections between multiple accounts.

For a server-side ID sync, you don't even need user accounts. Just a unique ID set in a cookie will do.
No, but I said see the _existence_ of. Or am I wrong there? Ha, I should really know this :P

You didn't have TV in your pocket, in bed, at dinner, in the car, the moment you wake up, while waiting in the bathroom, literally every moment you're even approaching the possibility of being slightly bored.

The rewards are the icing on an all-inclusive cake.

To be 100% fair, this post is a full 6 years old now.

But also, I don't think it's specifically hate, it's more of a reaction to the overwhelming wave of posts here (and basically on every programming forum) from around 2014 to 2018.

Go was so hyped it was unavoidable that if you were starting a project, dozens of comments would be shouting at you to use go.

Some posts are people finally getting to say, "I told you so, but I was against the crowd a few years ago"
Some posts are people saying, "Go doesn't really fit this use case"
Some posts are people just academically sharing the language features you don't get when you choose go.

Basically, in my opinion (and as a developer of a large go codebase that I really love), thousands of people hyped up go as a silver bullet or a "near-perfect" language. This is obviously not true, go has many downsides. When you tried to bring them up before, you were downvoted and pushed aside for the hype. Now that people are maintaining legacy go code, there's more appetite for these conversations about go's tradeoffs.
It's also helpful to realize that you "stand on the shoulders of giants".
> You can't solve a problem if no one is willing to vocalize and point out that there is one. Societal meta-awareness is a necessary pre-condition of change.

I am reticent to discuss this matter at all since I doubt even delicate nuanced public discussion can help. But if you have data showing that public discussion about murder-suicides can reduce their incidence rate, I'd like to see it. As far as I can tell, public discussion makes it worse, but it's hard to warn people away from discussing it without yourself discussing it. Is it ethical for me to warn people away from discussing murder-suicides, if doing so necessarily means that I am discussing them? I'm not sure.

It should be a matter discussed privately among journalists. From what I understand, it is discussed in journalism schools but when push comes to shove they just don't care. If it bleeds, it leads.
