What drives me nuts is companies deliberately doing customer contacts which violate basic security principles.

* Walgreens auto-calls me with prescription updates. For "verification purposes", their system asks for my date of birth. I hang up.

* Bank of America sends out emails with clickable links on them. I've reported that to their own security reporting address, but they still do it.

In the US, the legal protections for false charges on credit cards are pretty good, while the ones for debit cards are terrible. So avoid debit cards, Zelle, PayPal, etc.
The flaw in this thinking is the "fully mobilized Russian army" part. The full mobilization of Russia remains a hypothetical and until it actually happens Ukraine doesn't have to contend with it; all they have to do is keep bloodying the forces at hand and bleed Russia white. Can Russia undertake a full mobilization without destabilizing the Putin regime? That's not a given and time is against Russia in this regard.

Regarding stockpiles: First, Russia has its own stockpile problems. They've depleted their PGMs and they can't get the components they need to make more. They've had to resurrect laughably obsolescent armor to backfill their losses. Second, the "low rate production" scheme the West has employed to replenish stockpiles between conflicts has worked well for us and so a working supply chain exists to be scaled up. Time is against Russia here as well. Aside from political will there is no reason we ultimately couldn't supply Ukraine with thousands of M31Ax rockets every month.
This is how it played out in Austin, which may or may not be the protest you’re referring to.

IMO, the biggest issue here is that no one has any patience for anything anymore (outside of what they’re getting paid to be thoughtful about), so nuance has gone out the window.
You are automatically banned from some subs if you comment/post in other blacklisted, "rival" communities. Let this sink in.

Link at the bottom of HackerNews that says “API” points to this GitHub repository [1].

The first commit is from Oct 2, 2014 while the article was published on April 1, 2018.

However, it seems that you did not read the first paragraph of the article which states the following:

> While building hackd I faced a problem - the official Hacker News API doesn’t allow for interaction, such as upvoting, posting and commenting. I wanted hackd to be a full featured Hacker News client, so this wasn’t going to cut it.

So to answer your question:

> Didn’t HN get an official API a long time ago? Or was that read-only?

Yes, it appears that at the time of publication, the API was read-only.

Yes, this is a much better idea. might be hard to make such small actuators to get the vertical pinmovement once it's inserted, maybe you could use tiny pneumatic pistons or something
A hypertext approach such as HTMX in fact does give you server rendering, since you send to the client a normal SSR page with some extra annotations that add SPA features.

For React, SSR is secondary. For HTMX, it is primary.

This is both a flippant hot take and, and weirdly rings true to me. The wifi password was the bottom of Maslows pyramid for me throughout my teens and twenties. It's easy to think that there's the world of stuff and interests, and there's the online watering hole or community for it. There's a reddit for anything you want to be be into. But it's an illusion. The internet is mostly a tribe of outdated millennials, the same stale communities and re-posted ideas.
On the other hand it's full of Americans touting their free speech is true like no other country on earth and blah blah, so I guess, free speech except for those you disagree with
> Rust is also targetting higher levels of the stack like Webassembly

The /reasonable/ Rust vision of Webassembly is "you write parts of your application in this when they need to be faster than javascript". You really shouldn't be writing your whole web application in Rust, frankly, there's no good reason to. (I write Rust for a living, and I reach for other languages the moment I'm trying to do Normal Web Stuff.)

And if people are using wasm as a sandbox outside the browser, instead of a reasonable VM with all the garbage collection niceties, they're probably doing it wrong unless there is a reason to require developers to write low-level, performant code without a GC.

London has recently completed the ~ 20 billion pound Crossrail project after some 8 years or more of planning and tunneling.

Part of that was creating "vibration free" railway lines that pass some 17m or so directly under world class concert halls and major recording studios.

You're looking at it all wrong. Kind of through the lens of an narcissist. Not nearly as many people have had the opportunity to even become "full" intellectuals. The irony here is that while the world burns, the easiest solution is raising that bar for them by challenging them and leading them into better paradigms, through interaction and debate or even arguments.

Without your presence amongst the people on that platform, and with the condemnation and final-judgement people like yourself dole out... how could you expect them to ever be any better or things to improve over the course of a decade?

Team values have all but disappeared. That is the real issue at hand.

We need to be finding leverage and educating them on how to think critically, while providing them with support and encouragement of lifestyles which improve their intellectual abilities. Not put them down and shut them out.

You may disagree - you may believe that there needs to be a culling like a lot of the entitled wealthy class, but that's just naive weak thinking from a group of individuals who couldn't build or run something themselves if their life depended on it. They're essentially nothing more than spoiled children living in a bubble. They have no foresight.
Is this real? The language feels a bit too poetic for a rant, especially the follow-up: https://caspercloudwalker.bearblog.dev/a-new-study/ . I think the toast button is a great idea - some social interaction without the need to comment or to log into a platform. But why does the follow-up not have the button? Casper is also suspiciously close to this story: [1].

>My ideas, my attitude, my life story, the difficulties I currently have in functioning- all of these things make me too different to fit in anywhere for more than a singular moment.

Many comments suggest to engage more, or to volunteer. That's an option but this misses the open opportunity. We have social networks where you can meet anybody in groups as long as you know the name of your identity and can search for it. How do you find your people if your identity doesn't have a name, at least not to you? We have all the technology to connect people but we don't have something like a taxonomy of mindsets. How could one start a service to connect like-minded minds?

We do however have music which the author is using on his main page [2], referencing an Aphex Twin song. Would it be worthwhile to create a platform that makes it easy to investigate the social profiles of everybody who engages with this song on social media?

Then again, 'being out of the loop' doesn't seem to be that rare of a condition. It even has a name in philosophy [3]. How come there is no known community, kind of like lesswrong.com?

Building a Helm Chart for Microservices
Thank you for posting that, I totally agree with @hillelogram.

My documentation holy grail for large codebases is a codebase that starts with literate programming style programmer documentation, then pinned against tags to that structure is a programmer reference documentation, then pinned against that programmer reference are architecture, devops, and user reference, and cascading onwards to a fully-interlinked structure where the user manual is towards the "leafy edges", and demos/tutorials are all the way at the ending leaves. Smaller codebases can skip with "deep-linking tags" that just jump to say a man page or similar.

I basically want a Nix for documentation dependency management. Where if I change how some code behaves, I can see the vast majority of the documentation that change impacts.

The doc smell of a chaotically-organized documentation source: when the program version changes, every page in the old version when you try to switch to the new version says it cannot find an equivalent page and offers to jump you to the beginning of the new version documentation. I've heard this called "version aphasia". It is especially frustrating to discover that in the new version there is an exact section with the exact section title, organized in the exact same heading structure.

Documentation dependency management is still in the Precambrian era compared to source code, and we aren't doing so hot IMHO there, either.
Lived and worked in over a dozen, and speak a corresponding number of languages.
Ask instead of speculating.
This argument could be made about any language, though. Python's indentation significance? Rust's match (vs switch)? R's arrow assignment?
Thank you. Same situation occuring with the exagerated outrage over the 2020 election shenanigans and resulting riot at the capitol.

Not a great look for the US by any means, but the whole chapter is a joke compared to past election turmoil, especially during reconstruction era post Civil War. In those years, you often had large armed militias battling it out with occupying federal troops over which election results.
Global PV cell production is about 1 million square meters per annum.

Global farmland is about 45 million square kilometers, approx 1e10 more.

Lets say the solar panels cover 10% of the field. That 10% produces 10x as much, so you've approximately doubled your fields overall productivity. We're currently a factor of 1e9 short of producing enough to do so (and it's not like PV cells are not currently produced at scale).

1e9 is an unfathomably large delta. We'd be converting most of the planet into PV factories & mines to supply them.

In fact throughput is sometimes the main constraint on speed. Apparently the high speed train service on some of the busy french lines (like Paris-Lyon) is lower than what these trains would normally operate at so the safety distance can be reduced and the number of trains increased.
Harakuju Station had my fav jingles. One direction had this high energy song. The other way was, as my roommate described at the time, very "pinky punky." Every time I would ride NYC subways, I'd think, "Why is NYC unable to copy Japanese railway systems? What is so difficult about straight-up copying exactly what they did?" I'm sure it's more difficult than what I'm assuming, but there must be layers and layers and layers of bloat and red-tape in NYC.

Also, shout out to the Chuo line jingle. It crescendoes in such a way where you feel like you emerge elevated and renewed lol.
True, but it’s also probably excellent marketing if you can get your lock featured and it does well.
stopped using reddit after they introduced new design. My browser struggles scrolling it smoothly (in most compressed mode). Too complex DOM they put there. Lack of programming skills.

Very few communities do that, and you generally aren't missing out getting banned from them anyway.
You are already at a reasonably high rate, even compared to the US. That rate is about 250k annualized, which is a good senior developer salary at most companies outside the big tech companies. It is possible to make more consulting, but it would require the hard work of building your US client base. Specialization matters as well. I think you might have trouble finding many projects through agencies, as that rate is higher that most Agency rates I’ve heard quoted, but again it depends on specialization.

So no, there’s no low hanging fruit here. I’m sure you could improve your rate in the US by 2x or 3x by running your own business, but as you are already in a very optimal place there would be hard work involved. And honestly, Americans put longer hours in, pathologically, so you may find the return on investment to work for American clients to be distinctly lacking.
True. Don't slap in types just because you can — add types when you need to work with your data. Most of the time, I worked with systems where my python code *was* the downstream and required data to run some business logic. In that context, types make the most sense.
So like, if someone deals drugs and uses a bus stop as an exchange point, and the transportation authority moves the bus stop... is that going to cause people to give up their life of crime, or cause them to swap their meeting point?
JavaScript doesn't have named arguments, so passing a lot of stuff in arguments makes code unreadable.
Reddit is largely garbage. Some bits of it are alright, but it has definitely gone downhill since Swartz passed.

At this point the only good forums I am aware of are this one and Bogleheads, apart from a few still-decent parts of reddit that aren't completely astroturfed by corporations or packed full of lower-level midwits (i.e. any subreddit with a subscriber count close to or over 500k).

Anyone else know of good places to read online?
Is the use of AI necessarily reducing the, say the carbon footprint though?
To counteract brute-forcing, how about adding a rate-limiting mechanism?

I could imagine each attempt to rotate the cylinder could partially compress a spring-loaded lever. There could be some sort of ratcheting return mechanism that allows the spring to decompress at a known rate (think a kitchen timer). Once the spring is compressed beyond a certain point (e.g. after 5 failed attempts), a mechanism locks out the cylinder until the return mechanism allows the spring to decompress back to its starting position.

If the lockout happened after 5 failed attempts, and the lockout duration was 10 minutes, an attacker could test at a maximum rate of 30 combinations per hour. It would take 64 days to check all 46,656 possible combinations, or 32 days on average to find the solution.
I have zero knowledge about the topic and something in the video confuses me:

In the YouTube video explanation around 2:30, when individual positions (not sure if it's the correct word: talking about the different parts of the lock's inner array moving based on the position of the key/pick) are picked, why doesn't the inner mechanism at snap back to its initial state by the spring's force when key/pick is moved out of that position?

And how do they reset when lock is turned and unturned back to initial rotation state if they don't reset when individual positions are released?

(Sorry if I used a terribly wrong terminology)
YouTubers with famous pets are supposedly doing this. The mind boggles.
The smartest thing reddit has done was learn from Digg.

They've done a FUCKLOAD of dumb stuff. A truly phenomenal amount. Some of the issues stem from just growing and having your crowd change and EVERY marketing company out there working to control your content, but they have very impressively managed to make a baffling number of stupid decisions.

But, you can opt out. It's dumb that you need to, it's dumb that they don't understand what they have, and that they're making what's currently failing (yet another facebook), and yet there's still a large variety of ways to make it not totally fucking awful.

You can still just go to the subreddits you tolerate and ignore the rest, you can still browse in old mode, and you can block most of the ads and nonsense pretty trivially. It was very very smart of them to leave in that option, which while the most obvious fucking thing in the world to a person, is a near miracle for a company.

Not forcing the new design (and a couple of other anti user practices) is one of the best decisions they ever made, and if you've EVER worked in a company rolling out a redesign that's supposed to up engagement and revenue, you have got to understand just how fucking rare anything like that is.

I do wonder when it'll all go to shit finally, and I wonder what will take it's place (i've looked for the reddit of digg for reddit, and haven't seen much potential), but right now every day they don't force the redesign is a damn near miracle in a company of that size.

> A possible disadvantage is low social safety. It is important that cyclists can see out of a tunnel before they enter it. There should be no turns within the tunnel, no-where for a potential mugger to hide. Obviously tunnels should also be well lit.

I feel like this is something that's often neglected.

Just recently here in Finland there was a case where a cyclist died because a roadblock made of concrete was brought to the middle of a dark tunnel.

The goal was to block cars from using the tunnel, but for the summer the tunnel's lights were turned off. The cyclist hit the roadblock at a relatively high speed, was basically launched forward and pretty much immediately died on impact to the ground.

Now of course maybe the cyclist shouldn't have been going that fast, but the decision to bring a roadblock to the middle of a dark tunnel is also questionable. Maybe two roadblocks at each end (where there is natural light)?

I feel tunnels are much more dangerous than bridges. They're dark and the downhills leading to them encourage high speeds.

If you have a hard time thinking this way then you really need to try other paradigms in coding because OOP is not the only way and it is getting less and less popular.

For example C, is not OOP. Linus Torvalds hates OOP, so linux is in written in C. Go was created by Robert Pike who's also subtly against it, and it shows in the language. Additionally Rust pretty much gets rid of objects as well. React is also moving away from class based representation of components.

These are just modern languages that are moving away from OOP. In addition to this... behind the modern languages there's a whole universe and history of other styles of programming.

Not against OOP... But I'm saying it's not a good sign if OOP is the only perspective you're capable of seeing.
