> Typically, they're using legacy software to store the password itself (e.g. database, mainframe, etc)

I've heard banks and other financial institutions use the "our ancient mainframe only allows 8 characters in account passwords" excuse or "our ancient mainframe database can only handle 8 characters in the password column", and find it extremely hard to believe.

First of all, I find it hard to believe that each customer has a user account on the mainframe, and so the mainframe's restrictions on account passwords is irrelevant. Your banking account is going to be entirely something defined by the database.

Second, I find it hard to believe that they are running their web server on their ancient mainframe OS. The web server is going to be running on something more modern. Users have to go through that to do online banking, and the account system on that can be totally separate from whatever account system is running on the backend banking system. Your user name (if their online banking uses something other than you account number) and you password for online banking should be entirely handled on the Unix or Unix-like or Windows Server that is running their web-facing stuff. The ancient mainframe stuff should never see it.
I would look for animation agencies to quote a project in a way that allowed me to interview the team, and would tell them something on the lines of: "some guy offered me to use his app on this project and it works this way, is it a good idea or is the guy nuts?". Setting the "other guy" as someone you don't care about should bring you honest answers.
> Practically speaking the only way to really reduce latency to the minimum of the software is idle resources awaiting work.

Indeed. This is similar to the buffer-bloat situation, where limiting your download speed to 90-95% of max capacity will allow for both high throughput and acceptable low latency.

Maybe the system could tune itself in an audio compressor[1] like attack-release style, where it would never go above say 95% utilization (random number), but could dynamically lower it if low-latency requests suffer, then slowly raising it as low-latency requests tapers off.

I just did a quick calculation. If the Sri Lankans had traded their Rupees for Bitcoin at the peak, they'd be down about 4% less. However, if they had bought USD instead, they'd up 73%!

Bitcoin seems like a poor inflation hedge to me.

However, it does seem to be working out well for them. Joke is on me, I guess.

IMO there are always going to be tensions (as well as differing personal preferences) for surface syntax and authoring environment.

What I think may emerge though is a better shared understanding of “what’s needed” as well as a great (ideally libre) library for implementing those ingredients consistently and interoperably — e.g., a DOM/CSSOM for these graphs as well as maybe an adaptagrams- or cairo-like library for the common layout and drawing capabilities.

(For example, have you noticed how many general-purpose drawing tools now have “align and distribute” capabilities that all work similarly? AIUI, many of those tools are either directly using or are inspired by Kim Marriot, PJ Stuckey, Tim Dwyer, & colleagues’ work in this area?)

> You are aware of "eminent domain", no?

Of course but that’s not what was being proposed. The suggestion was to kick out the Saudis because they are growing crops in California and that’s not okay because reasons.

The basic proposal is to nationalize foreign owned assets like they do in places like Venezuela and I’m not fine with that. We have the rule of law for a reason and violating the property rights of a group of people so they can be used as a scapegoat is not something I want to be done in my homeland or in my name.

If people really want extremist viewpoints on water rights then I propose that if you aren’t a native born Californian then you are the problem. California water for Californians is my new slogan…

Hi Daniel

First, I love what you've done here, and why - congratulations on making it this far!

A few suggestions:

1) An independent web route is important, but you could lower the friction even further with browser plugins. Like you, for general articles I use push-to-kindle[0] which only needs two clicks - no copy/paste, etc.

2) Have you also thought about including a copy of the original article - so that in a single download, there's the article followed by the HN discussion, all accessible from the document's index?

3) I could see this developing further as a productivity tool via subscription - maybe I set up an account with you and then receive a digest of the day's top-10 (or 20, whatever) articles and discussions. Or a weekly digest? Might be a powerful way to divert people away from the regular distraction of HN, but still allow consumption.

Good luck :)

How is this different from any other bug bounty program as an incentive to compromise live functionality/user data always exists?
Hello, HN! I'm Barış from Sidekick.

Sidekick is a live application debugger that lets you troubleshoot your applications while they keep on running. It allows you to add dynamic logs and put non-breaking breakpoints in your running application without the need of stopping & redeploying.

Currently supporting Java, Python & Node.js runtimes.

So Sidekick is like Chrome DevTools for your backend.

Problems that we solve

- Collecting dynamic data from running applications is hard

- Adding new logs and redeploying apps takes time ⌛

- Developer onboarding is hard for complex systems

- Microservices are harder to debug

- Logging everything or using APMs create so much unnecessary data

What we offer

Here is how you can benefit from Sidekick and boost your developer productivity up to 3x

- Debug your remote application (monoliths or microservices on Kubernetes, Docker, VMs, or Local) and collect actionable data from your remote application.

- Add logs to your production apps without redeploying or restarting

- Cut your monitoring costs with on-demand & conditional logpoints & tracepoints

- On-board new developers by showing how your apps work using real-time data.

- Observe Event-Driven Systems with ease

- Programmatically control where and when you collect data from your applications

- Either use Sidekick's Web IDE, VS Code & IntelliJ IDEA extensions to control your Sidekick Actions or use headless clients to bring Sidekick to your workflow in any way you want!

- Evaluate the impact of an error on applications with integrated distributed tracing.

- Collaborate with your colleagues by sharing snapshots taken by Sidekick.

- Reduce the time spent context-switching between different tools.

Our journey:

It has been around 6 months since we released Sidekick as a standalone solution and the last 6 months were a roller coaster. We have improved Sidekick to make it a true developer-first tool that makes the developers a part of the core loop. You can read my blog to learn more about our journey:

https://medium.com/runsidekick/past-present-and-future-of-si...

In addition to our new features, we have decided to make Sidekick Open Source to allow self-hosting and make live debugging more accessible. Now it is ready to meet you!

TLDR; Sidekick is a plus one for your observability stack, built for everyone who needs extra information from their running applications, and now it is open-source! We still have a lot to do and we would love to hear from you in the comments down below, your feedback and your recommendations
Duck Duck Go?
Falcon 9 + Crew Dragon and Starliner (hopefully, once it flies) can support Starship in LEO.

Then Starship can get you to Lunar and Mars surface.

SLS is not pushing SpaceX on anything anymore, because Falcon Heavy took almost everything besides Orion from SLS.

That's Falcon Heavy mind you, not Starship.

SLS was important for assembling Lunar Gateway. Lunar Gateway itself is useless and was invented for justifying SLS existence. But if we skip that, then funny fact. Lots of pieces of Lunar Gataway will fly on Falcon Heavy! Resupply to Lunar Gateway will also fly with SpaceX on Dragon XL and Falcon Heavy.

There was also NASA flagship Europa Clipper mission.

But due to lack of available SLS vehicles, NASA shifted it away from SLS and it will fly on Falcon Heavy.

You just can't make it up.

I'm in a similar situation as as you in that I wear glasses and have busted right eye due to eye muscle surgery in the early 1980s. I can "see" out of it but reading text is impossible unless it's like a foot tall. The thought of avoiding screens never occurred to me. Wouldn't any medium be it a screen, paper book, or Kindle cause eye strain on your left eye? I've seen many optometrists/ophthalmologists over the years and nobody recommended to avoid screens. One doctor advised me to avoid using contacts since eyeglasses always give you eye protection for the left eye and that was it.
That's not the case.

The actual model of git internals is that every commit always stores full copies (of modified entries, unmodified entries are dedup'd through the magic of content addressing).

Then as an optimisation of the packing process git will perform delta compression between objects based on a bunch of heuristics. Until you pack you get full copies, and depending how "hard" you pack you may or may not gets huge savings.

Furthermore, Git's pack files are ordered, so depending on the selection it makes it can diff later files from earlier ones (your model) or the reverse, or even both at the same time.

You can see some of the early packing heuristics at https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/technic...

That’s a great point, because it bellies the core strategic problems with SLS. When your rocket has already flown a lot, and getting it human-rated does not slow your rate of launches, you can afford to take your time not to kill anyone. The same plan is being put in place with Starship, which will fly a lot before they put people in it.

SLS is one and done. It’s the old Apollo and Shuttle strategy, with the post-Columbia and Challenger risk management. It’s a bad strategy.

By the way, i think the ECB reaction is better than the Fed, for the second time in less than 3 years. Maybe the Fed will end up being right this time around but it feels like they are once again acting out of tempo. Maybe being late/inefficient at first with COVID made them react too much now? They might be right still, but the Fed acting as scared as the BoE is a bad look for confidence.
Analytics is a special case because the metrics they got from it can be fed into their advertising system to better deliver ads. They may have run it "at a loss" but they did it for data that they certainly made a profit off of.

It's a nice project, from start to end. Gives you real insight how "real world" ML-backed systems work. Data acquisition, feature engineering, model design / tuning, etc.

This kind of system is what you'd expect to see in maybe a graduate level ML/DL class, maybe even Bachelors thesis.

Whether or not it actually works for catching poachers isn't all that important IMO, even though they're marketing it that way. As many have mentioned, for it to really work, you'd probably need a small fleet of drones - and more likely, data from satellite providers. In my area of work (surveillance / intelligence), we do a lot of similar stuff - students like these are awesome to work with for summer internships / thesis projects.

Typical lefty argument. Introduce a non-sequitur straw-man and make arguments attempting to divert discussion there when you know you've lost the argument.

This discussion, again, is not about Ukraine. It's about the propaganda piece mis-published here on HN, and the commentary that followed. Some are reasonable points, others are repeating narratives that are not supported by facts, but make for nice soundbites, to replace reasonable arguments.

A simple proposal for fixing the real issue. 1) arabs who lived in Israel accept that their side lost, multiple times, and make peace with Israel. 2) Israel welcomes new peaceful citizens back in. #1 won't happen before #2, and given how long and hard arabs have fought the very existence of Israel, I doubt many Israelis are open to considering any re-integration.

That is literally all it would take to get peace. Which means, it will never happen.

Until then, we all recognize the narratives for what they are.

I bet it wouldn't move the needle. Their books/Kindle ratio might even drop. Although I know my Kindle is really a computer, I don't want it to act like one. I want a dedicated and narrowly focused ereader.

If I were head of that division at Amazon, I'd remove bluetooth, APIify the bookstore (so you can buy books from other retailers), remove GoodReads integration, and direct the hardware people to focus on battery life and the software people to focus on layout and typography. I'd also add a physical switch to enable/disable the touchscreen. All Kindles would have physical page turn buttons like the Oasis does.
Every time they do a run-of-the-mill Starlink launch that goes without a hitch, Falcon 9 becomes safer and more valuable. Every time Falcon 9 flies, the necessity for Starship to succeed soon decreases.

With this intention in mind, I think I may have a recommendation? You might consider shorthand / expanding tokens?
In my project, I have a couple of well-known nodes with a parent child relationship, such that it would be impractical to write out all of the link definitions separately. But there also needs to be a way to format the nodes in a way that makes logical sense to the markup writer, so I included a simple token - for those nodes only - that link them. On the backend, it goes through shorthand tokens first, then document placement, then into other parsing if those don't match. So, the idea is similar to the CSS values having multiple shorthands; the language just understands them all. It's a ton more work, but it's valuable for interop, which seems to be the whole purpose of generalized formatting like this.
