The 50s were a sort of golden era for North America, it really did seem like opportunities were boundless for a while there. An average family could expect to own their own home and a car in the suburbs. The cities weren't as grossly over-crowded as they are now. California only had a quarter of the population it does today, just imagine how much more pleasant that must have been. There was no social media. No quick and easy access to mood-altering drugs. A culture that valued long-term committed relationships. There were no 24/7 new networks broadcasting minute-to-minute updates on the latest mass shooting or climate catastrophe. Certainly there were still issues back then, but maybe we've just made culture less happy over time. When I look at culture today it's hard for me to imagine where do we go from here.
It's not just logging. L4J is so extensible that people have used it for all kinds of things, way waaaaaayyyyy away from just logs. So disabling logs won't necessarily cut it.

I am no expert. I ended up indexing all the open source kruft I use to hold this ship of fools together, then verified that the Log4J pieces were definitely disabled with a bunch of monitoring while I tossed stuff at it. I did mention I am not an expert, right? I am sure there is a more Pro way to do this.
Kinda, didn't even end up using it... So wasted time and suffering. Also sad for the fact that I ended up supporting fascism.
Really? This isn't my experience. I use several BT devices regularly and they all work fine. The only time I run into issues is when using shared devices. For example, both me and my girlfriend share a car and when we get in the car together one of our phones will automatically connect which often means one of us will need to manually disconnect and reconnect if the wrong device pairs first. I'm not sure this is a flaw with BT so much though, or at least it's a bit of an edge case and could probably be addressed with a better implementation.

The one technology that I still find unreasonably painful after decades of development is inkjet printers. I have no idea why it's still so difficult to reliably connect a printer to a device. To reliably print a document without random blank pages or weird margin issues. For the printer not to require cleaning and alignment with every use. And for the printer to do anything within a reasonable timeframe - sometimes it takes several minutes after clicking print for the printer to actually start printing anything.

Bluetooth in comparison is really good.
In the Hindu mythology there is the concept of Kali, or the ultimate suffering and pain. Rather than being evil, Kali is worshiped because without her (or at least the _idea_ of her) we could not truly experience happiness. This is based on a (religious) psychological idea that to enjoy anything you must have the really terrible awfulness there in the back of your mind, as something that could spring out from the corners.

Something like that anyway. Horror films and dark stories make everyday life feel more enjoyable. Or they could, if we can take things in that light.

According to the About the Project [1] section of the page:

> All film materials presented on the 35mm.online platform meet the requirements of WCAG 2.0 - they have audio descriptions, transcriptions, subtitles in Polish and English, as well as comprehensive descriptions. For foreigners, the entire film library of the Platform is available in English.

So I assume that this one also has English subtitles. The icon below the film is only about the available audio language options.

Edit: Just double checked and yes, the English subtitles are available for this one (and all other films).

Not really, no. You either need storage tech that doesn't exist and might or might not be possible, or you need to grossly overbuild intermittent sources everywhere and make megagrids, the likes of which the world has never seen.

Maybe those are possible. Maybe they aren't. We don't know. There is precisely one known working option.
That's also why in a tournament (or a showmatch) you'd play the same opponent in a series (like best of 3, best of 5...). I once had a couple friendly games with a dude in masters 3 (that's maybe 1K MMR above me) and... actually won one map. My mechanics are pretty bad, but I have a very decent understanding of the game. He tried something funny - I scouted, responded, and killed him. If it were a best of 1, that was our first map - I would have won the series.

This would not happen with Serral. He does lose against other pros, but not against joes. When you face an opponent 1.5K MMR below you, you're putting something like -200MMR on the table if you lose. You can't stay 200-300 MMR above the #2 spot if you ever drop a game like that.

> Then apache decides to put new people on log4j, do a backward incompatible v2 design that nevertheless is worse than slf4j. Why?

slf4j itself isn't a logging framework. It's a facade to logging frameworks.

Simple Logging Facade for Java ( https://www.slf4j.org )

It needs a logging framework behind it - log4j, log4j2, logback, commons, JUL.

The question is "why do log4j2?"

Logback went from the log4j1.x path ( https://logback.qos.ch )

Log4j2 has a lot of features that weren't present when the project started ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log4j#Apache_Log4j_2 ).

There is a licensing difference between Logback (LGPL) and Log4jx (Apache Commons).
> I'm a bit worried that it will hamper my career prospects,

So honestly, it probably won't, depending on how far you want to go.

But lots of the broken teams people are describing here are easily fixed by mandating that the tech lead / architect / whatever participate equally (or more-than-equally) in the on-call process. It's the simplest way to get people with leverage to push back on POs / executives who see it as just a cost to balance.

So if you want to have one of those positions one day, and you want to do it well - you should want to do some on-call, because you need to know if the systems and processes you're designing / managing are hell for those on-call.
I was in this industry for a while (I did 5 years full time for a security company).

> I will concede there probably are some firms out there acting poorly that way.

This is a hilarious take. Here's mine: The vast majority of these firms are here for liability. They do not provide security, they provide security theater so that if/when something goes wrong, the client can claim to have followed best practices, and that it's not their fault.

This style of theater is RAMPANT in the industry. Literally most of them come in with some version of a shitty automated tool, often with false positives in the 95%+ range, and then you check off checkboxes to make legal happy, and ensure that your insurance (or your customer's insurance) will pay if you get compromised.

This is not limited to small companies, but is instead mostly how large banks, credit firms, and large enterprises work.

The entire damn show is for liability, and half of these "Security professionals" can't do anything other than read the message coming out of their tool. They are utterly incompetent when it comes to applying logic to figure out whether a specific use of a "risky" tool/language feature a genuine problem, vs a god damned fucking regex match from their tool on something completely unrelated.

I went in as a naive young dev, I came out with ZERO respect for this industry, and a healthy dose of skepticism around anything these folks are saying.

Security researchers? Generally fine (although there's a new breed of them that simply submits inane non-vulnerabilities over and over to attempt to get bug bounties from large companies)

Security advice from open source devs? Generally top notch, listen to it.

Security advice from that contractor your company paid? Expect to have 95% false positives, and they'll miss the 2 places you know actually have issues. But it's ok because you'll check all the boxes on their sheet and legal is happy.

---

I'm waiting for insurance companies to wise up and stop covering companies who are breached. Prices are already shooting way up, since it turns out security theater does a very bad job stopping real threats, and that's what this industry is right now. Might was well be the TSA of software, gonna frisk you real good, and then flunk every fucking test.
White could start with a knight move. Unlike Hexapawn, in chess, white moving first provides an increase in optionality for white, and the board positions are not forcing white on some losing track, because white is free to "burn" a move with many pieces by taking 2 moves to get to the same place they could with 1 move. White can use two bishop moves, or a pawn push to the 3rd rank followed by the 4th rank, to turn around the initiative early in the game.

Not enough monetary incentive either, it doesn't pay as well as T20.

Second problem is bowling doesn't pay as well as batting. And that brings only batsmen centric view to the game, which is boring to watch after a while, even in T20.

Depending on design, if the DC isn't very monolithic, then you can run with components failing and not causing much trouble, replacing when available, if your apps are designed to run on a zillion small CPUs, as I believe Google and Amazon are, instead of a giant monolithic computer, 1970s style.

Could have heavier AC for critical components, the main routers and disk farms, for instance.

Ask HN: What simple lessons have disproportionately impacted your life?
Sometimes simple ideas can have a huge impact on your life. Here are some of the top lessons I’ve learned.
1. It’s possible to retire WAY before 65 as long as you save and invest WAY more than the average person.
2. If you create a product that people are searching for and genuinely want/need, it practically sells itself.
3. Happiness isn’t just about positive emotion. Martin Seligman created a model for subjective well being called the PERMA model which stands for positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment. You need all 5 components to have long lasting happiness.

What simple lessons have disproportionately impacted your life?
> by an ever complex word with looser and looser guidelines or norms

That reminds me of one of those weird little findings. People with depression appear to more accurately estimate their control (or lack of control) over a situation, than people who are not depressed. Perhaps non-depressed people are just delusionally optimistic about the chances of things going wrong. (If true "overthinking" is probably related in some way to this.)

> When participants were asked to press a button and rate the control they perceived they had over whether or not a light turned on, depressed individuals made more accurate ratings of control than non-depressed individuals.[5] Among participants asked to complete a task and rate their performance without any feedback, depressed individuals made more accurate self-ratings than non-depressed individuals.[6][7][8][9] For participants asked to complete a series of tasks, given feedback on their performance after each task, and who self-rated their overall performance after completing all the tasks, depressed individuals were again more likely to give an accurate self-rating than non-depressed individuals.[10][11][12][13][14][15]

Yup, you’re outsourcing your decisions in exchange for not doing the work. You have to understand your risks and needs.

Your boring business systems that will live for 50 years need to have boring system level libraries or stuff you maintain. Your fast time to market or non-critical systems are optimized by speed and cost.

If your service depends on a bunch of downstream stuff, your processes need to support upgrade cycles. If you can’t keep up with that, you need to refactor.
Can do, or your boss can want just a cog in a machine and not care or want anything more.

There's a book. It's called The Birth of Tragedy. On the one hand, Nietzsche is pretty persuasive that, basically, tragedies are the highest form of drama. So, one would expect ambitious artists to want to tell stories with realistic characters and without happy endings. (Stories with happy endings are comedies.) On the other hand, the ambition to create tragic drama, or at least attain its status, gets dumbed down and applied imitatively in "dark and gritty" takes on pop culture.

What's 'cringey' about it?
Far more busses operated in Chicago/NYC etc in 1970 than streetcars in 1920.

What happened is busses took over and street traffic increased. On otherwise empty streets a buss network could be far more convenient than subways, but that’s not the world we live in.

It’s mostly stoplights and the need for them that makes streetcars and busses suck relative to subways.
Not that I don't understand the difference between the communication modes, mostly just empathizing with the parent.

In collage my reasoning was purely financial and this was the beginning of the mass adoption wave. I can only guess that the pressure to conform is so much greater and the scorn/ridicule for not is as well.

I also wonder if we will see a counter wave similar to the "I don't watch TV" that happened. Phones are great but they are also insediously great time wasters.
I think the point is that if you asked someone with a job such as a janitor or an airline luggage worker if they'd rather get paid to do something that they enjoy doing, the answer would be yes 100% of the time. To go even further, the answer would be yes for everyone with a job except for that small lucky few who actually enjoy what they do.

And of course, this is not realistic, because some people would want to get paid for things that no one would be willing to pay for.
Is there? Last time I checked there doesn’t seem to be a dongle that both outputs and charges my iPhone in the car. Or the non Apple ones have terrible reviews that they set off the persons coffee maker scalding the persons dog or something.
The point is that ICE cars and electric cars are comparable in weight. There are some ICE cars lighter than an electric car, and some ICE cars heavier than an electric car. Some of that is just due to the fact that electric cars are new, and haven't moved into the "ultra light sporty car" segment with the civic or Miata.

The point is you don't see a BMW go down the road and freak out about how heavy it is. But there is this meme in everyone's mind that EV's tire polution is much much worse than ICE because EVs are much much heavier. They aren't.

These are excellent points.

And I first want to approach it from the "good faith" point of view. The past 20 years have seen a sea change in what surveillance and devices can do. And as such we (society at large) needs to adjust our understanding and approach to this new technology.

Firstly the opportunities are immense. With almost (*) every person having some kind of heart, lifestyle, monitoring and measurement we could see transformational medical and epidemiology breakthroughs. On top of which access to (free, correct!) information, hell GPS is amazing. We know

Secondly there are opportunities for abuse, and there is justifiable concern about privacy, about affect on democracy, truth etc. I personally think these are..the wrong terms to use, but never mind.

I think we have to assume Good Faith from the EU here. They don't know the answers any more than the rest of us do. But they have been upfront abut tackling obvious big problems - the GDPR, for all its many faults was first, and a again big Good Faith step in right direction (pace all the stupid cookie warnings)

As for answers

Which devices apply - which ever ones are "owned" by a Gatekeeper (45 Million users / 7Bn turnover).
Should Sony open up Playstation. Yeah basically. Xbox too. Will that cause problems - I expect so. In 99% of cases a big warning saying "you are side-loading this is dangerous" will prevent most horrors.

I expect this will not lead to an Open source free for all. I expect there will be develop licensing programs and approvals - because I certainly see the walled garden of iOS as a real benefit.

The bank transaction signing thing is interesting. The definition of a gatekeeper (Article 2 in the Act) is fairly specific to things like online search engines, intermediation services, OSes etc. I think its unlikely 45 million users is a big floor for such a thing.

(#) 4.5 Bn smartphones are in use globally, that's almost every adult. In "western" countries there are 10s of millions of people with daily heart rate monitoring.
Streetcars were pretty awful though. It should not be a conspiracy that they needed to be modernized and replaced with buses.

They were slow, had very low capacity numbers, costly to maintain, and were fairly dangerous.

I know people want to draw a direct comparison to modern light rail, but even today surface streetcars have proven to be expensive and inflexible larks for most cities that have developed them.

(I get that whether the automotive special interests should have be the ones to do it is its own issue).
Thanks! That's exactly what I was missing. Thanks also for the extended explanation.
