> When I was younger, late teens, early 20s, I thought them cumbersome, "come on, dad! you've told me that joke countless times", now, when I'm in early 40s, I cherish those retellings of jokes.

Reminds me of:

Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps 20. And yet it all seems limitless.

Ha, you have not worked with goats before, have you?

Even some sheep like to sneak up and attack from behind. Goats even more so..

But sure most goats lack that bravery, but some have it and the cunning to attack and get to places they are not supposed to be.
Interesting. As a non expert in machine learning, I would have assumed that most of those issues apply to any use of it.

I'm not particularly seeing why security suffers here, other than the difficulty of getting good training sets.

Good to see an analysis that shows these problems are there though and how to address them.

> the beacon chain network wouldn't function properly if it had too many nodes

The fact that a decentralized P2P blockchain can have "too many nodes" is such a massive failure of engineering. It's honestly mind-blowing.
I think it's because of a critical mass of users. I can communicate with my parents and my entire circle of friends on WhatsApp, they weren't there 10 years ago.

Ask HN: How do you work with Dependabot?
I like the idea of Dependabot. A to that actively tracks down dependency updates can be useful. Where I work, we have a daily CI job that creates a PR for each new dependency and runs a build in both our UI (JavaScript) and API (Python) projects. If the build passes, "Happy Days", we can merge the PR, and the app is all the more secure and effective for it.

What I've noticed in practice however, is that occasionally, this process will allow an upgrade to a dependency that will pass the automated build and test step, but introduce the wildest runtime error into the application. Usually at the time when we aim to deliver something.

Dependency 'spam' is also a very real issue - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27929596 - the daily deluge of often insignificant updates is a trudge to deal with, especially when coupled with the risk of these sly runtime errors.

Dependabot is a great idea, but no-one appears to have anything bad, or practical, to say against it. But it does clearly have flaws.

I don't think I'd want to switch the bot off, but I would be interested in hearing how other people get on with the tool.

Thanks. :]
It's not the ID, it's that a phone number is relatively difficult to obtain (not hard, but still a limited resource) and unique. A crypto stake / wallet / something of value on the blockchain could easily meet such a criteria if well designed.
I think that animal abuse is not the same thing as littering but that the type of people who litter are also the same type on irresponsible people who will think that leaving a rabbit to fend for themselves is no big deal. Either they are clueless and think that rabbits can fend for themselves or they do not care about the consequences of their actions as proven by littering.

I might agree that error handling is business logic in the broadest sense, but control structures certainly are not. Unless there is an explicit business requirement like "use a nested for loop to iterate through an employee array", control structures are just implementation details.
that's how I ended up with Total commander - the line of 2-pane file managers go all the way back to 1993 for me to DOS 6.22 and those tools. Once getting used to this concept, doing anything non-trivial on filesystem is very effective compared to simple file browsing windows others use. All work can be done only via keyboard which is much faster compared to adding mouse.

You could say its a matter of getting used to given tool - but consistently when I watch colleagues doing similar tasks, I am so much faster, easily 2-10x depending on task. And thats folks with 20+ years of experience. Yet whenever I try to show my ways to others, nobody picks it up. Its like some mental blind spot, people generally are happy to learn more effective ways for their work, but not this one.

Do you know anything about News Corp and Rupert Murdoch?
Watch out what you cheer for, dangerwill.

You do not want that to be the norm. It just so happens that, right now, they are discriminating towards something that you believe to be "wrong". What is "wrong" may change in the future or someone else's "wrong" may not align with your own. And considering we're talking about people's jobs and means to survive, it's not at all something to be taken lightly. At all.

The applicant might not even have an interest in what they worked for, or might even opposed to it. Maybe they worked there just to survive and the pay was good. Has that ever happened to you? I know for a fact that I could not give a single fuck about few of the sectors I worked for, some of them I actively believe to be cancerous to society. I do not have the right to discard people based exclusively on their past work experience, as I'd discard myself.

It just doesn't make sense from a moral standpoint, not to mention it also doesn't make sense from a competitive standpoint: I'd have a smaller pool of talent to choose from, and would discard brilliant minds simply by association to something I do not agree with (or simply don't understand) and ... for what, exactly? To make a point?
Hmm... I'm using go commercially now for the first time and I thought it was pretty wordy. Especially in error handling.
> does anyone know a lightweight Explorer alternative?

PowerShell. It's builtin, uses little resources, is fast, has pattern globbing, autocompletion, and can be as efficient as using the coreutils on *nix.

Unfortunately nnn and Ranger don't work on Windows, and the WSL uses more resources than explorer so this workaround isn't resource efficient. Cygwin is very efficient and could be a better solution to run them, I haven't tried it.

edit:
Looks like lf works on Windows:

> Some would describe what you're saying as "slacking" for those hours outside the six

this is the core issue - are you hired to do 8 hours of work, or are you hired to complete a set of tasks?

if the former, then yes, you're slacking off if you stop after 6 hours

if the latter, then no, as soon as you're done with those tasks then you have completed your day's work and can go do something else.

old-skool authoritarian management tends towards the former, and tends to measure time-at-desk rather than actual productivity. Hence they don't like WFH because it forces the latter.
> try yelling nasty things at a biker gang and see where that gets you

I mean,maybe they beat you up, but then they go to jail and you get a bunch of money as compensation, so i don't think this supports your point.

> The right of property - which includes the right to ban from it whoever you feel like, without bothering even to give an explanation.

That's generally not true. Try banning <insert specific race here> and see what that gets you.

However banning obnoxious photographers from your commercial business is of course reasonable.

First link shows NewsCorp domination (~65%) in Capitol City print mnedia, not so much elsewhere.

Second link is about the News Corp deal, but does mention that ALL Australian media will be compensated for "framing" by Google ("in google" summaries and snapshots of sites that don't generate traffic to actual site).

To be honest, this is a fair ask for kickback to actual content creators .. local journalism, etc.

Windows Phone was great. I really miss mine.

I'm sure there were reasons, but I don't understand why MS didn't invest more in getting apps on the platform. The lack of popular apps like Snapchat was basically what killed it, the OS itself was great. Their focus should have been on getting the top 100 Android / iOS apps on WP7.
I'm in Britan and I'm not sure I've ever bought a hot dog here, let alone have it slathered in mustard. Every BBQ I've been to it's regular sausages and ketchup, maybe some un-opened mustard near by.
Interestingly, you're completely correct.

However, the animosity runs deeper than Americans may imagine.

News Corp Australia has built a ground up, from first principles, Ad Tech platform that competes directly with Google's.

The number of, and proportional penetration, of its publications are such they've the critical mass capable of flouting the Google Ads duopoly.

Fairly strong F500 equivalent engineering culture.

They've recently announced an incredulous financial performance for the legacy media section of their business.

It has to be said Rupert Murdoch funded the whole ad tech build with cable sports money. Murdoch will give up on his Australian newspapers the day hell snows over.

Still, the raw flow of ad dollars is quite remarkable.

Undercutting Google is an (relative to the woes of legacy media) immensely profitable business.

> The "content producers" are not interested in the location itself, only what the location can give them, which is engagement numbers on their platform. The sanctity of the location itself is of little relevance.

So like 95% of tourists then?

Most tourists just want a story to make themselves feel "worldly" so they can brag and dont care about what they are visiting.

I think its totally reasonable to ban obnoxious behaviour at tourist sites, but i don't think normal tourists are any more moral than the tiktockers.
Vacationing in France as I write (but still reading HN). It was a surreal moment when our French family called before our departure asking if we could pack a jar or two for them!

>lots of enterprise software was stuck having to support IE just a few years back

Yep, and talking about Jira, they only ended that support in March 2020.

And wow, according to Wikipedia, Microsoft still supports Internet Explorer on some non-consumer Windows flavors. Today. I find that actually pretty stunning, must be a huge liability to be running web-apps that breaks on non-IE, because that can't then be the only aspect at which it's still stuck in the stone ages.
It is improveable. Metabolic syndrome is a late-20th and early-21st century phenomenon caused by the processed and junk foods industry. The worst of the effects can be improved with policy, whether that's public health messaging, taxes, bans or regulations. We saw this happen with smoking.

Members of a society have a responsibility to not impose unnecessarily burdensome costs on other members of society. If someone wants to develop metabolic syndrome on their own dime, that's none of my business. As it stands, it is my business, because the costs they're imposing on me are unacceptably high.
Difference in what exactly?

I could give it a try (not gp but periodically interested), but not sure if my GSync display will work correctly. Last time I tried desktop linux, it couldn’t decide which video driver sucks more after another update, and that was on a pretty dumb graphics card. Thinking of something deeply proprietary like GSync I don’t even know if it’s worth trying.

And I’m not a linux newbie, used it and freebsd since around 2000 on daily basis periodically. It is amazing, but just like Linus, “I still need desktop” that allows me to play my hardware. So when there is a >$100 graphics card I resort to windows + msys2 by default.
I've certainly seen things like "ten past four" written, and it's commonly spoken, but so are "four ten" and "sixteen ten".

But the date is most commonly spoken in Europe (including in Britain and Ireland) in the form "twelfth of August, twenty twenty-two", so 12/8/2022 (the most common date format in UK/IE) follows from that.
I am sure many people remember Norton Commander (or nc). Also take a look at Midnight Commander if you still like this.
They don't mention it, but one of the reasons the mustard seeds are not available in the Dijon region is because EU has been heavily subsidizing bio-energy crops like rapeseed for the last decades (which coincidentally also looks a lot like mustardseed)

"no tiktok" is short, and easy to understand to non-native English speakers.
It's certainly true that Murdoch has an outsized influence in Australia, but I don't believe this particular incident is a case of Google versus Murdoch. I think this was a fairly clear case of Google violating Australia's very robust consumer protections. It's something Australia takes very seriously, and it's a big mistake to run afoul of the ACCC.

When I was young in the 90's we used to go to music festivals. It was nice to be with your friends, just relax and enjoy some music.

Years ago I went back to the same festival, and what I notice what changed immensely was that everyone was taking pictures and selfies with smartphones. It was so weird to see. Plus, what used to be a Rock festival was now a Pop festival (everyone needed to be there).

Somehow nowadays, you don't only enjoy yourself, but you have to broadcast it that you're enjoying yourself. For me, that takes away a big part of the enjoyment.

I'll stop my old man's rant now ;).

I agree with a lot of what you've said - but you don't need the seller's permission to review a car or a video game or a washing machine or a hotel room.

'Invited' reviewers are basically all shills, who know they'll never get invited again or gifted free review units if their review is anything less than glowing.

Not needed AFAIC.

I only keep windows around to run the oddball app. that doesn't run either on the web or native on Linux.

These are increasingly rarer, typically of the gaming persuasion (e.g. MS Flight Simulator).

For these, I run a windows instance inside a VM, one distinct VM for each app.

The spyware crap and all the other useless shit windows comes bundled with only gets to see me use a single app, through a different IP each time (VPN), usually once every couple of months.

Only downside is it uses up a bit of disk space, but that's dirt cheap these days.

OTOH, it's very easy to manage, every app gets installed on its own clean windows environment, and uninstalling is as easy as dumping the VM.

For my main work env. and anything privacy related, I run on a bare-bone, heavily trimmed Debian with a Cinnamon desktop.
Good stuff, thanks.

No, that's not what I'm essentially saying. Of course autistic can learn - it's called "masking". Masking causes trauma. Not just "finding co-worker annoying" but "not being able to go outside, not sleeping for 4 days in a row, stimming to the edge of self-harm, etc". Trauma. Not just being "stressed".

Neurodivergency isn't a movement, in the same way that blindness isn't a movement. Or deafness isn't a movement. It's not a choice. It's an invisible difference, one that society finds it hard to understand. I avoid "disability" because that suggests that neurotypical society is the only right way and anyone else that doesn't fit into it is just wrong somehow. They can't help it any more than a blind person can.

The way their brains are wired aren't their fault and yes, the rest of society is going to have to change. Autistic people exist, so it's up to the rest of us to learn how to deal with it.

Properly understanding the difficulties faced by the neurodiverse is a journey I thoroughly recommend. It's coming, get ahead of the curve and maybe you can be part of the team's stress relief.
It's easier to gradually refactor a legacy program to a different language using the Strangler pattern when they run on the same runtime and there's easy and performant interoperation between old and new code. I wouldn't call it stupid.

How do these tests work? I can imagine a test where you connect up all the peripherals flash test firmware and observe the results, but presumably that doesn’t test parts of the board that aren’t between io pins and the processor. How do they test every single component on a board that costs ~$40? Presumably it’s not cost effective to do this manually. Do they robotically place sensor probes into the circuit around every component?

At a previous job, we loved the idea of depandabot but in practice it didn't match the way we work or review PRs. And as you said, just because a test passed doesn't mean that the update is 100% safe.

So instead, we identified our critical dependencies, then included dependencies update task to the list of tech-debt tasks we handle every week manually.

I just recently bought some Ersatz coffee and thought to myself

"Well, what sounds more like a unique experience. Coffee, or a blend of roasted chicory, wheat, barley, figs and acorns?"

This stuff is pretty great, and regardless of how much it resembles coffee (which it does to a surprising extent), this was a really solid purchase.
