This is a nifty trick, but I recently had an issue where it would offer my other keys even with IdentitiesOnly yes specified in ~/.ssh/config. I found a solution [1], but it's not the most elegant.

There's a reason it's the "legal code"

It doesn't care what "the point of the law" is. It cares what's written.

It's already illegal to interfere. Now there's a magic line in which you can't get too close regardless of if you interfere or not.

What if my 14 YO son wanders off, and is now being questioned? I have to choose between engaging with the police officer ("my son is a minor, and you don't have permission to question him") and recording the interaction.

What if my friend and I are stopped, and they are getting questioned? I now have to turn away, and potentially escalate the situation by looking like I'm running, to record the interaction.

What if the police officer unexpectedly pulls a gun on my husband, and the officer is right beneath my unenclosed porch? I have to leave my house to reposition myself so I can record, potentially missing the critical 30 seconds.
For more details, https://www.freedomforuminstitute.org/first-amendment-center... . This is probably the most specific:

> Photographing or more commonly videotaping police activity is one of the most contentious areas of photographer/videographer rights. When it comes to filming police activity, the federal courts are not in agreement as to whether there is even a right to do it. In a case about prisoner punishment, the U.S. Supreme Court said, “For a constitutional right to be clearly established, its contours must be sufficiently clear that a reasonable official would understand that what he is doing violates that right … in the light of pre-existing law the unlawfulness must be apparent.” Hope v. Pelzer (2002)

> Two U.S. Circuit courts, the 1st and the 11th, say that there is a right to photograph/videotape police activity. The 9th Circuit provides some protection if police activity is considered a “matter of public interest.” Courts in the 3rd, 4th and 5th Circuits have said that the right to videotape the police has not conclusively been established. Courts in the remaining circuits have not ruled directly on the issue.

AZ is in the 9th circuit:

> In its 1995 opinion in Fordyce v. City of Seattle, the 9th Circuit stated that there is a First Amendment right to “film matters of public interest.” ...

> The question of whether a person has the right to photograph or videotape police activities in the 9th Circuit has not been directly addressed and, thus, has not been fully answered.
> making sure candidates are told their feedback

Lol. Of the 15 companies I interviewed with, only 1 gave feedback.
This sounds like my connection. I still travel with a camera so those photos are more organized.

Imagine if you could increment your major version number and support newer crypto, removing old crypto. Amazing, I know.
I'd call it "setting boundaries". The author has zero reason to accept anyone's bullshit for a passion project that they give away for free. If author wants to put users who do not understand this dynamic on blast, that is 100% understable and I fully support their response.

There are a lot of people here who work in a business setting and are conflating the sorts of behaviors that can be expected in a paid setting with those more appropriate to a gratis effort.
I should rewrite PyAlgoViz to work fully in the browser using Pyodide. Then usage would be completely client-side (no quotas). Would love to get a PR from anyone having experience doing that.

True, but it is fair to expect that people who have paid nothing and have nothing constructive to add to quietly STFU.
What are these issues of X?

Because everyone talks about the issues of X, but Gnome, KDE, Xfce and others run flawless on X, but these same desktops have problems when running on Wayland.
Everyone uses Vanta, at least among YC companies (Vanta is a YC company). There are things I like about Vanta, and you can't argue with the track record. I have one big concern with it, which is that in working with other companies that used Vanta, my experience was that it pulled those teams towards an expansive take on what SOC2 is, and induced them to do extra engineering work. Alarm bells should go off in your head when you do engineering work specifically for SOC2, because SOC2 has weird ideas of how serverside engineering should work, and you probably don't want to adopt them.

I know Vanta (and the other tools like them) are customizable, and you don't have to do everything they suggest. If you know that going in, and you're careful about minimizing your Type I, they work great and you can't argue with the track record.

The thing with me is: you really can't flunk a Type I. If you're serious about getting certified, you will get certified. So you should be much more worried about SOC2 dragging you into extra work or bad engineering decisions than you should be about whether you'll succeed and getting a Type I. So anything that creates the perception that "extra stuff" has to get done for SOC2 is something I'm automatically wary of.
You should sort by “per capita”, where Canada has a third of US police per capita shootings.

Which makes sense, given the US’s problems with organized crime and drug trafficking — and a generally more armed society.
Agreed. I used to laugh myself to tears on slashdot. I don't think I have ever laughed at anything on HN. HN is like on of those really good devs that is good because they have several intertwined personality disorders that make them good at programming pedantry. Ultimately their inability to loosen up makes them just an OK dev.

The unfortunately thing is that most large companies are bad at retaining people. The quickest way to increase your compensation is to change jobs every 3-4 years. I think in 2022, it's much less taboo to move between companies.
I’ve spent a lot of time in front of the computer since before I started school. I’ll say, I’m bad at memorizing lists of facts. But I’m great at remembering things once I understand them with context. So, memorize the 50 states and capitals, hopeless exercise. But teach me about a state and it’s capital city, and I’ll never forget it. I wonder if this is naturally how I am or whether constant internet use from a young age makes me mind dismiss the need to memorize bare facts that can always be looked up, and that don’t actually enhance understanding of anything by themselves. See Feynman on knowing what something is vs. just knowing it’s name.
"Keeping the wolves at bay" means keeping them at a distance so they can't do damage; rather they can only bark and bay. That's not the same thing as reducing exposure to them; which implies they can still do damage, just not as much.
> and the constitution should worry about you?

Yes.
That's the beauty of it. You need less "experience" with Rails because it curb-stomps Javascript for productivity.
There's also remote-oss [1], which is fairly low-level (you have to install it on), but doesn't require you to pass your traffic through the GitHub proxy that Microsoft's service requires (I believe) and is also truly open source (which means, for example, that it can also be used with Codium [2], not just the Microsoft's VS Code distribution).

The downside to that is that if you get the factoring of the app wrong you now have to refactor across disparate codebases separated by network calls.

It's much easier to start with a monolith and refactor it into microservices later than it is to refactor microservices written in different languages by different teams into a single codebase.

> Democracy should produce an acceptable result in the end

Unfortunately, that is not a given.
There are already laws about not interfering with an active crime scene. This is an additional law that says that interference is simply standing with a phone within 8 feet, which I find to be lol nah.

Besides, programmers already have cameras less than a foot away when coding. Productivity trackers aren’t illegal!

Hurray! Is this the longest downtime ever for HN? I don't remember it being down for this long in the past, anyone know?
My routine is usually to check HN first thing in the morning when sitting down at my computer before work.

I definitely spent a non-reasonable amount of time thinking my internet had a problem trying to open HN since it's always just been so constant.
Life felt so meaningless. Don't ever do this to me again.
Nice project! It looks pretty similar to my own LiteStore: https://h3rald.com/litestore/

The feature set is pretty similar, but I focused mainly on the free form/nosql-ish aspect of it, and although I added support for server-side JavaScript middleware I didn't include authentication OOTB (although it could be implemented or you can integrate with an OAuth2 system - it can validate JWT tokens).

And yes, LiteStore's web app hasn't been updated in years and overall your project looks much more polished than mine.

Good job! Bookmarking ;)

HN was down because the failover server also failed: https://twitter.com/HNStatus/status/1545409429113229312

Double disk failure is improbable but not impossible.

The most impressive thing is that there seems to be no dataloss, almost whatsoever. Whatever the backup system is, it seems rock solid.
I assume this post will be flagged as off topic, but I actually just went to visit moments before it came back up. I didn't figure out that it wasn't an issue with my internet connection until I saw this post.
Meanwhile, Git is still here and going strong.
This was traumatic :). Felt like I had lost a part of me lol. Glad to be back.
How many times did people refresh to check this today? I did at least four times. I might have a bit of a problem.

I don't think I had ever fully internalized how often I open this site throughout the day. Finish a task? HN. Got frustrated/stuck on a problem? HN break. Waiting for something to install/upload/compile/etc? HN.

Needless to say I opened a new tab, typed "n", and hit enter countless times today before my brain caught up with my muscle memory.
It's like banning a whole city because there are unsafe streets within it.
This downtime made me realize (again) how much I appreciate the kind of interesting topics that show up here, the depth of discussion, and a general attitude of good faith that (most) engage with here.

I realized how little of this I find elsewhere in my life - whether through Reddit or even my IRL friend circles.

This realization saddens me - I feel like I shouldn’t have to rely on HN so much to scratch this particular itch.

Perhaps I need to get out more.
Woven Planet L5 | Self-driving Research | Palo Alto, US & London, UK & Tokyo, Japan | Full-Time + Interns | Onsite (Hybrid - 2 days in p/w - currently closed)

Woven Planet L5 develops real-time car automation solutions via applied Machine Learning and Computer Vision (SFM, SLAM, 3D Perception etc). The system is adding self-driving capabilities to vehicles with the end goal of providing autonomy features to all cars from the largest car company in the world, Toyota. For more information please read through https://www.self-driving-cars.org

The platform at L5 is written in Python & C++. We are an AWS environment with additional use of NumPy, PyTorch, gRPC, Kafka, Kubernetes, Terraform, SageMaker, Spark, Postgres & others. We work in a OneBox cloud environment with continuous deployment and are firm believers in the benefits of open source (https://github.com/woven-planet/l5kit). We apply multiple flavours of ML to petabytes of data; such as Deep Learning, Transformers, Neural Networks & Reinforcement Learning.

If you are interested in applying Machine Learning (ML) to real world data - look no further. https://www.self-driving-cars.org/datasets
We are also building a real-time OTA OS upon which all the autonomy software will run on. This work is a combination of Toolchain, Compiler and Embedded C/C++. Find out more about these roles at https://jobs.lever.co/woven-planet?department=Arene%20Softwa...

If you like the idea of working on some of the most challenging problems in applied computer science. We are looking for talent across Data, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Infrastructure, Research - and of course Software Engineering. Please find our jobs at https://boards.greenhouse.io/l5
I’d love to learn more about HN hardware & software stack.

I know old posts indicate it’s running on a low core count but high frequency Intel CPUs on FreeBSD and no database (just flat files).

I wonder if it’s still the same.

Anyone been on Slashdot lately? Checked it out too was really nice.

For non-trivial workloads serverless does still require a lot of orchestration and domain knowledge of cloud-specific features and constraints. Kubernetes is for sure its own beast, but its a ton of work regardless (for gains that at the end of the day aren't what you thought they would be...).

Serverless is amazing when you use it the way its intended. Its not there to replace your entire ec2 workload.
I like people that weren't captured.

I could imagine a plain Archimedes being competitive with a 386 in integer throughput, but an integer-only machine outdoing an FPU in floating-point performance would be very surprising. I don't suppose you remember which benchmarks they were?
I came to the same conclusion by observing that there are posts and comments from only eight hours ago.

I disagree. It is much easier to make big changes, especially refactors, using a language such as TypeScript. The amount of `undefined method 'example_method' on NilClass` errors in Ruby on Rails projects is astounding. After working with a typed language on the backend, I am confident it is easier to more quickly ship correct code with a typed language, while Ruby on Rails makes it easier to quickly ship incorrect code.

Another way to look at it is that you have a particular set of interests and HN is the online outlet that serves those interests. There's nothing wrong with that, at all and you don't need to have multiple sources for it. No different than someone who likes to ride bikes owning one bike, or someone who likes to read going to the same local library every week for 10 years.
