> For a different source, although not representative of all code, the repositories for a Linux distro like Debian or Arch would give interesting data.

Source code from Linux distro repos should be different but far from representative or meaningful, specially as it leans heavily towards legacy C libraries and tooling. I hardly see how that could be a meaningful rejection of GitHub as a statistically significant sample of what real world projects are actively being developed by real world developers.
I have college degrees and sought after skills that are highly paid for, I just don't get highly paid for those skills or degrees. They're still valuable in the abstract, but I get by on entirely unrelated work and pay that most HN users might feel is abject poverty. And that's OK to me, for the most part. I have a roof overhead and food on the table and am intellectually challenged every day, if not in the ways I thought I would be.

Yet I'm still part of this squeeze, the segment of America that cannot buy a home because I cannot outbid others because I cannot afford to save up enough to put down more down-payment, despite the many grants/programs meant to help people like me. Sellers just won't sell, since they get better offers.

In the meantime, I rent. If you gave me one year of not having to pay rent (hello eviction moratorium, wish I had met you), I would be able to be barely competitive in a LCOL area for a home that would need me to bribe an inspector to qualify for those grants/programs.

Around here it's not a supply and demand issue, either; there are plenty vacant places, both low and high end. It's just that owners (corporate and individual alike) don't feel any need to take on any risk. Same with renting. Risky tenants without hefty deposit and/or collateral aren't worth it, not one bit. The rest of us suffer for those who can't behave, as usual.

It'll work itself out, though, or it won't, and I'll age out of it all and it'll be a problem for my kids to handle. That's how it goes.
I guarantee that the doctor has a HIPAA agreement that you sign when you agree to communicate over email that says that you grant him the right to share the files with Business Associates, and that their email providers are considered Business Associates for the purpose of transmitting ePHI.

I don't think so. Imagine: two people, each with a job not in cycling distance, and they have two kids at two schools in opposite directions. What do?

It's easy if you get lucky with locations of places you need to go to each day, or (more often) you have enough money to buy your way there, or if you have enough money to buy a place on good public transport routes, but as with most people if you don't, then cars are still the most affordable way to do it.
Montero is a song by Lil Nas X, it doesn't solve the problem of co-mingling dirty and clean money.
True, but I never turn off my Mac unless I'm installing updates. A few times a year, I have an issue from resume (from Suspend to RAM) on a desktop - GPU won't wake up.

When I had an Nvidia card, this issue would happen every other day, so I had to disable sleep and hibernate. Because it was a very shitty way to start your day.
Society will collapse before we ever have a need for more IPs than what’s in v6.
Somewhat good. That’s the whole point. It was put in service specifically to counter sea skimming missiles. Its effectiveness is questionable however.
Yeah, at the bare minimum what you want to see is:

1. No employees have direct, immediate access to user accounts or data.

2. Only a small number of employees should ever be able to gain access to user accounts or data, for the purpose of resolving issues directly affecting said accounts or data.

3. Access is only granted to one specific user account at a time, and only for a limited amount of time.

4. Access to a user account requires at least one other person to sign off on the access-grant.

5. Every operation performed upon a user account -- viewing a field, modifying a field -- is logged in a place the people from #2 and #4 do not have access to.

6. Access logs are routinely audited for perfidy.

7. Gaining accesses to user accounts or interacting with them in a way that is not necessary or attempting to circumvent the above process must be a don't-bother-cleaning-out-your-desk-we'll-do-it-for-you offense.

With policies in place like that, you reduce the insider risk to user accounts. You need multiple people directly involved in secretly accessing or taking over a user account, and you potentially need dozens of others (the potential auditors) to be complicit. The more people you have involved, the more likely it is someone shuts it down, or at least blows the whistle on it when shit hits the fan.

If someone can just get drunk one night, open up a user account, tweet something, then SSH over to the audit server and drop the rows from the access log indicating what they did, and there's no way to even prove something happened, let alone who did it.
Yes. There are a couple point defense systems originally designed to counter rocket and cruise missile attacks that can readily attack drones as well. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb5_F4_Eod8 This specific system uses a magnetic coil to measure the muzzle velocity of the shell as it's leaving the barrel, and sets a timing delay for the shell to burst. So that combined with the radar means this thing can put flack in very precise places.
It doesn't look stuck to me.

In my experience there's also very little detailed documentation about what cutting-edge phone cameras are doing.

You can get some vague descriptions (focus stacking? exposure stacking? ISO stacking? ML bokeh? Special handling of faces in multiracial groups? Shake compensation? Super-resolution?) which is all very well shooting from a tripod - yet modern phone cameras do their magic at 4k 60fps even while moving? All while running on battery?
No. Professors should write their tests in a way that actually tests understanding, which is much harder to fake than memorization.
Some do. Pinephone Pro's ISP has some public docs and mainline Linux support.
This of course has nothing to do with the media sensationalizing the murderer, and everything to do with the incredibly dire situation of religion and politics in Japan.

At this point I wouldn‘t be surprised if people started to forgot who the murderer is, while continuing to be deeply pissed at the wave of revelations around the cult ties in the political sphere.

I completely disagree, and I was surprised by this sort of comment.

Find me a single programming language whose docs are as good as TypeScript's docs and reference. I'd be surprised if you could come up with a single example.
If that was the case there wouldn't be tens of iphones stolen every day from every big city in the west. And indeed the "Find my Iphone" feature is quite nice, but i know for a fact that even with CCTV footage of the thief, plus the location of the iPhone ping shown to the police on the same day, they will not investigate and close the case.
Seriously - more than anything I feel like FreeBSD is a server OS first and foremost. Or more realistically something with lower flexibility that makes it ideal for more niche use cases as a pseudo "lower level" OS. The way I see it the two things you want MOST reliable are storages and network - and all the other features of most operating systems are just unnecessary fluff for those.

What I would like to see however is maybe some specific wifi chip or USB/thunderbolt Ethernet adapter that is certified to work well with FreeBSD - for testing purposes and as a mobile network tool it would be useful to have a laptop running FreeBSD in a VM that could communicate over that dedicated piece of hardware. This would make it super convenient to test a bunch of physical hardware or do all kinds of other infrastructure work while remote.
How is a third-party app that's available for both Android and iOS worse than iMessage that's iOS only? How is a mobile number that can be bought from literally hundreds of different carriers all over the world worse than an Apple ID that only Apple can provide and can take away at any time?
Yeah, I love how this silently escalates more and more.
That's not actually true. H-1B is a non-immigrant visa. The confusion is somewhat understandable though. The reason why is that the H-1B program allows a migrant who does not currently qualify for an immigrant visa to work in the USA while they try to get one rather than having to wait at home.

To me it totally sounds like 'all those features (some bizarrely so) we locked behind a commercial license to extract money from you' has resulted in people looking for alternatives as soon as the use case exceeded the capabilities of the open source version. Kubernetes and the ecosystem is eating their lunch for more complex service mesh deployment scenarios where nginx is basically an interchangeable dumb proxy, and doing it with generally new and free open source products, so here, have some more stuff we've kept gated behind an expensive license/subscription so we can stay relevant.

I don't say this to be ungrateful about what nginx has provided for free, it's great, thank you. But the post also feels like a cynical take about what the value of open source truly is.
They claim to have tamed the smoke, but none of them can get it back in the mirror once it escapes.
Including prop 13 as a tax is extra, like including private school as a tax in places where the schools are bad. Possibly relevant to cost of living, but not a measurable tax.

The killer with high property taxes is that you have to keep earning more as your property increases in value, or there is a real risk of you falling behind. Similarly if you are ever unemployed you might prefer a tax proportional to your income. Obviously this also makes retiring early even more difficult. But there’s a system to suit every need, I guess.

"Snow Crash" described the logical conclusion of such a development:

"Have to bulldoze lots of neighborhoods to do it, but those seventies and eighties developments exist to be bulldozed, right? No sidewalks, no schools, no nothing. Don’t have their own police force — no immigration control — undesirables can walk right in without being frisked or even harassed. Now a Burbclave, that’s the place to live. A city-state with its own constitution, a border, laws, cops, everything."

"MetaCops Unlimited is the official peacekeeping force of White Columns, and also of The Mews at Windsor Heights, The Heights at Bear Run, Cinnamon Grove, and The Farms of Cloverdelle. They also enforce traffic regulations on all highways and byways operated by Fairlanes, Inc. ... MetaCops’ main competitor, WorldBeat Security, handles all roads belonging to Cruiseways, plus has worldwide contracts with Dixie Traditionals, Pickett’s Plantation, Rainbow Heights (check it out—two apartheid Burbclaves and one for black suits), Meadowvale on the [insert name of river] and Brickyard Station."

Sure, I agree that a lot of people dislike beer, carbonated beverages have a noticeable and negative impact on me. Food presents allergy (milk, nuts, and other allergens), religious proscription (beef/pork), a variety of health (organic) and morality (veganism) issues, in addition to everyone having differing tastes. Food is really quite similar to beer in many ways, though the allergy issues are worse for some of us, and provides opportunity for embarrassment too (stained shirts and the like).

I'm not saying that beer is the best tool for team-building, I'm just saying it has benefits, and just like every other alternative, trade-offs.

And this is a bit of a theme: anywhere close to a school - even close enough to cycle - costs more to live in. It's fine if you have a good job and can cycle the kids to school and then cycle back and work from home, or you've got enough money to buy somewhere near work and school (because you were fortunate enough to work and live on the same side of the same city) but this will not be the case for huge numbers of people. Huge numbers of people don't have that luxury.

Rather than changing TCP, we could just make web browsers query SRV records to see what port to connect to. Then you could host 65535 websites on the same IP address, without requiring any software in the middle to check Host/ALPN/SNI. (The web is moving to UDP anyway with HTTP/3. Not saying the web is the only important part of the Internet, but it's a big one.)

IPv6 is kind of over the major adoption hurdle of rewriting all software to understand it. Nearly all software understands it. I'm not sure anyone really has the appetite for that again.

this is exactly the point of a library in any language. The library authors do the heavy lifting precisely so that the end-users don't have to!

And again, this isn't my domain, but when I read stuff like

You basically nailed the problems with a non-blameless approach to business. Blamelessness has some very clear benefits, but I have also seen the pendulum swing too far (eg refusing to blame someone for gross negligence).
