We looked into them once at work for our "conventional" SSH infrastructure, but immediately rammed into the wall that a certificate can sign a key, but you can't have a full PKI infrastructure like SSL where certs can sign certs that can sign keys. Without the ability to delegate, the logistics of needing to create an absolutely centralized authority to do the useful things we wanted to do within the organization raised the cost of "first value" too high for us to fuss over. So for large-ish organizations (~1000 affected employees) we had a hard time justifying any effort put into it versus the established infrastructures for key management that already exist.

On the other side, as a personal user of SSH with basically one person to worry about, the effort of setting up a certificate seems like just a waste versus the existing key-based infrastructure; I don't understand at all what attack it would prevent or what convenience it would provide for the cost of learning it.

A general principle is you get good at what you do a lot, and you aren't good at what you do rarely. Key-based management has its issues, but people have been doing it for a while and they're good at it. Not necessarily "great" and not necessarily "unable to be improved", but they're good at it. People understand it and know how to use it. Nobody uses certificates, so nobody understands how they work or what to do with them, and they have the weakness I cited above. So, even though in a perfect world certificates may be superior, in the world we live in now, the competition between the existing polished infrastructure for pure key-based management is pretty good, even if you think it's a polished turd, and the infrastructure for SSH certs is pretty bad, even if you think it's an uncut diamond in the rough. It's difficult to look at that situation and honestly choose to proceed with the certificates.

As others point out, the cloud services are proceeding in other directions as well which will probably continue to make using SSH certificates directly a very difficult choice to practically justify.
I just registered.

Important question (probably the most important in such events):

... will there be pizza?
Well certainly we have tracked down some issues (in the IDE) to being binary incompatibilities in plugins. So some of it was just downstream (of Apple) software not being ready. The machine isn't a dud as everyone on my team has a similar experience (although frontend developers don't seem as unhappy).

With regards to java, out of curiosity I went and reran some JMH benchmarks we have and saw a ~15% decrease in ops/sec. So much of this could be related to the JVM not being well optimized for this particular architecture. That is something I would expect and will resolve itself in time as more engineering gets devoted to this architecture.

All of my experience with the mac has always been incongruent with what other people casually would say. For me, it is just been another run of the mill OS; after all my experience, I very much prefer windows at home and linux for work, but none of them are perfect for me. So, it didn't surprise me that my experience was so different from what I had been hearing. I typically just expect that the things that I hear when I am not trying to scratch beneath the surface are more or less marketing.
You're leaving out critical information.

It's "the union and business agreed to a labor plan that can require overtime in specific conditions written into the labor contract. Rogue employees are violating that contract rather than renegotiating it under the terms of their union agreement".

This is a nothing story. Workers violated their union employment contract, and a court said "yep, they're violating their union labor contract".
Somewhat dismissive but this comment deserves at least one earnest reply.

The culture hasn't caught up with the power and availability of electric cargo bikes. Carrying four bags of groceries two or four miles is trivial in good weather, practical in a lot of poor weather, and you can probably manage six, you can hitch a trailer and go to CostCo if there's a safe path for that.

Anyone can do that if they don't have severe hip immobility, because you pedal when you want to, not when you want to move. It's great for the cold but not deep winter parts of the year: you start moving with the throttle, and pedal to warm up, you can stop before you start sweating into your jacket. In summer, you can work up a sweat, or enjoy 20kmh breeze and just cruise.

They cost a few grand, can come with an eighty mile range, and handle realistic traffic speeds safely. Once the public consciousness notices these things, you'll see a lot more of them.

Edit: I said "a few" grand but there are a couple compelling bikes which come in under 2K.

I sort of agree with the money being returned ethically. But isn’t one of the points of crypto decentralization and deregulation and at that point, courts shouldn’t really have jurisdiction?

As an alternative, you might consider using an ed25519-sk ssh key so you can use your YubiKey as a second factor during authentication. I've got my keys loaded up in the SSH agent by KeepassXC when I open my database and can log in to a box just by pressing my YubiKey. No keys on disk, no passwords to remember (except your Keepass master key ofcourse).
FWIW, I've installed Monterey on the 11" Air Early 2014 and indeed, no root patching is necessary. OCLP only needs to be installed in the EFI partition to boot.

It's also important to remember why that debt was paid.

Our government had taken IMF loans with the goal of expanding industry to sell products to the West. We did, then we were prevented from selling finished products to many countries. Some of the production was redirected internally and towards trade with other socialist countries, but the loan denominated in dollars remained.

Then the IMF demanded we pay back the loan early, while mostly only allowing us to export food. Today this would be called sanctions. This was a tactic to intentionally create scarcity of food in the country, which coupled with constant propaganda (especially from Radio Free Europe) and arming and funding local fascists (including the famous snipers shooting into crowds), culminated in a bloody coup in '89. Similar tactics have been used by NATO powers against other countries.
That would be logical conclusion. I think people looking for (nearly) free collab would agree.
Maybe you need to broaden your reading?
The astronomer is Avi Loeb, who also wanted the 2017 object Oumuamua (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CA%BBOumuamua) to be technological in origin.

Is this just a case of Loeb going off the rails in a photogenic fashion, or is there something here?
He may have been smart. Cost of printer with starter ink was occasionally cheaper then just getting new ink.
I will do my best, can’t make any promises at this stage. I do appreciate the vital important of pizza from my hackathon days though :p
My Brother black-and-white laser is about ten years old. Pretty low volume of use from me, but it's held up well and is one of the most satisfying technology purchases I've ever made. If it stopped working, I would buy a Brother printer tomorrow without even looking at other brands.

The printer industry is horrible, but also HP is toxic at every level and across every product and service. Just avoid.
So you get to share preferences with everyone else that matches your fingerprint :)

Older MacBooks activate Caps Lock instantly. Recent MacBooks activate Caps Lock after the key is held long enough.

Bugs are when systems don't work as intended. Intent you don't like isn't a bug.

Enter or return does different things in different contexts. Its most frequent functions are go to a new line or end text entry. Saying it means activate and implying activate means open is trying to find consistency where it isn't. And what it does in Finder is what it does in other text fields.

Return for rename is older than Windows 3.1. The error rate for pressing F2 is high for something so common as rename.

Well, it won't replace creativity, it just makes starting out easier.

SQL was designed so that business people could describe queries in English. How did that work out?

Now, of course, we have ORM's, which will get you data, sure, but often in egregiously inefficient ways if not used correctly. If you want to to get it right, you still need to pop the hood and adjust things, and you have to know what you are doing.

I see this as similar.
Yes, but the consequence for society is that professionalization is coming to every single field, and the blue-collar jobs are evaporating, and we had better figure out how to get all those people either white-collar jobs or some other form of income if we want to avoid significant social instability.

It used to be that you could find work as a political cartoonist and draw a picture of some satirizable politician each day - maybe Dr. Oz with a funny-looking vegetable platter, or Biden falling off a bike labeled "build back better," or something - and that would be a career. Now it seems you can just type "Dr. Oz holding a vegetable platter, political cartoon" into one of these AIs and the bulk of the work is automated. Sure, you could spend the rest of the day refining it, but nobody's really looking for perfection or transcendent skill in their political cartoons.

You can still find work making political videos of Dr. Oz and vegetables (e.g. https://twitter.com/JohnFetterman/status/1564432981841907713). Today's image generation AIs cannot do videos like that. Tomorrow's will, before we know it, and again nobody's looking for more than a baseline level of quality there either.

And even the local newspaper that might have been employing a political cartoonist is being swallowed by high-capital-ownership companies that can replace a lot of the writing with AIs. The expectations of quality are a bit higher - though the AIs have mostly gotten the hang of sports writing - but again people don't expect The Smalltown Gazette to have the standards of The New Yorker.

Sure, the highest-quality drawings, feature films, and longform journalism will get a lot better. And that's great! But most people don't work on such things. What are they going to do? If nothing else, how will they remain an audience with money to spend on the highest-quality works?

(I am not advocating for stopping this process, to be clear. Smashing the AIs isn't a coherent proposal, and smashing the physical machines of automation didn't actually work when the Luddites tried. I'm advocating for admitting that this process is happening and drying up employment, admitting that keeping as much of humanity as possible under a good standard of living is important for humanity, and figuring out what to do about it.)

A simple black and white laser printer can do that. I had one for about a decade until I bought my color laser. It worked great, and only needed toner every 2-3 years. I regret getting rid of my black and white laser.

> None of the jargon is necessarily wrong but it's not grounded in the reality of the current software systems at all.

Oddly enough, I'm having this discussion right now with a few other people at a new company. They want new documents to describe the ideal and I want it to describe how things work currently and evolve it over time.

OTOH, I've never gotten the impression that any of them are technically weak, I think they just view their role differently than I do. Much like how a TDD proponent will start imagining unit tests are the point, I think these architects have started to think these documents and diagrams are the point.

If anything, it seems like putting a time restriction in that case is actively good for the business, as you want to create a sense of urgency for the person to experiment before the time runs out. If it's on usage, the person trialing has no incentive to engage immediately?
Ask HN: Which programming language(s) are big companies backing?
Companies use multiple languages internally. But sometimes big companies either build their own language(s) or back one of the open source language project. Some for strategic reasons, some because off-the-shelf languages do not meet their requirements, and some because their bread-and-butter relies on it. My understanding is following major companies have heavily invested in the below listed languages:

C++ (Microsoft and Facebook)
C#, F# (Microsoft)
Java (Oracle)
Rust (Amazon, Mozilla)
Go, Dart (Google)
Swift (Apple)

Any other major companies seriously backing programming language(s)?

The reason I am interested in this is because it gives some indication of whether the language will get serious traction long-term or will become an "also ran" language.

Languages that are used in the enterprise tend to survive longer. The ones that are used for consumer apps(e.g. Objective-C) or developed by companies for internal purpose tend to be expendable or get forgotten after initial hype.
The "go to jail" part seems unrelated to the issue at hand - the company said if the workers also are found in contempt of court (for.. not showing up? or what?) then they could go to jail.
A US Freight Rail Crisis Threatens More Supply Chain Chaos
You can define it separately but it's often not the idiom. Especially for call-by-name arguments like in this case:

def retry[A](backoffSeconds: Seq[Int])(action: => A): A

In this case you can't just define a 'val action = ...' because you don't want it to be run immediately, you want to run it inside the 'retry' method only. You could define it as a 'def' but then you're just introducing two different delayed evaluation concepts into this small piece of code. The cleanest way is to just directly pass in the action and Scala ensures it is delayed evaluation thanks to the CBN parameter type:

retry(Seq(1, 2, 3)) {
println("Trying")
}
Why workers have the ‘upper hand’ in the job market
it has absolutely nothing to do with ethics, decentralization, deregulation or crypto.

it is about correcting an error (an obvious and clear cut one at that). Getting a wire by error from another bank would fall under the exact same guidance.

had the error gone the other way around, instead of 100 she would have gotten only 1 dollar back as refund because someone mistyped a number, she and everyone else would have argued that the error should be rectified promptly, no?

In cases like this it is exceedingly important to note whether the error was obvious or not at the recipient's side. It determines whether the receiving party is acting with malice or not.

By spending money knowingly that is not yours you are commiting a crime.

Sure. Only now the gap has been shrunk by a factor of infinity, because the time to representation was infinite for someone without that experience before.

I always use a wrapper around local/session storage[1] to avoid this problem. Then you have your app sync settings with storage, never read from it except during startup.

It becomes impossible to implement basic UI features like remembering open panes, etc when storage is disabled though. With the current policies around cookies - no cross-domain reads, Safari's ITP - there is no real need to turn them off for privacy reasons, for the average user at least.

Yeah, totally. He only printed things a few times a year and by then inkjets usually dry and print poorly. I don't fault him but it's interesting to these strange market forces in my life.

As an aside, my grandfather was a terrific guy. He bought a Gateway 2000 PC in the 90's and spent lots of time with me getting Sim City 2000 loaded up on it. He always had some gadget to show me since he knew how much I loved technology and he was very good at it for someone of his generation. I don't begrudge recycling 11 printers as I cleaned up his house and it always gives my dad and I a good laugh and nice memories of an important person in my life.
This is backwards and incorrect. If you make $1M per year working very hard and now get $999k for free, are you going to work very hard for the extra $1k? No, because the marginal value of the $1k is trivial, but the labor effort is the same.

If you get just enough to survive from the government, and employers try to reduce wages because you'll net out the same, you probably won't accept the job. It's not worth your time. Even as a dirt poor person, your time is valuable. An employer needs to pay you more so that it's worth your effort again. You have much higher freedom to shop around too.

If the government does not pay you enough to survive (non basic income), you're still in a precarious position, but you are still in a BETTER position than you were without the funds. This will RAISE wages, which will in turn RAISE prices, until the equilibrium is found where the UBI is distinctly not sufficient and you need to work to survive. You will still be poor. You will make more wages, but have about the same level of real wealth. You will be a bit safer due the guaranteed portion of income.

Until globalization kicks in and makes your specific local circumstances much worse.
Cool idea! Will it be possible to provide a list of HN articles (eg. the best of the week) to send to Kindle (or ePub)? Thanks!
I don’t know why your question is downvoted, it is totally valid.

We literally live above a grocery store, but my wife still orders grocery delivery on a weekly basis. So maybe cars aren’t necessary if they can be substituted by grocery delivery and smaller loads on bike.

You also raise the reality of cold dark and rainy novembers… well, when my son complains about biking to his guitar lessons on days like that, I hand him his rain pants. Builds character!!

But, biking on snowy days is too dangerous. It is so easy to slip and fall. We have maybe 2 snowy days a year (Amsterdam) and the city pretty much shuts down. However, where I grew up (Cleveland), there were many many snowy days. So, sensitive to the fact that cars are still necessary in many places.

The LED "laser" printers are usually all very reasonably priced, carry a good set of features and last long. The downside is that they're rather bulky since they have 4 drums.

I had good luck with Oki printers (most of them come with Duplex unit, Ethernet and all OS support), a lot of people are very happy with Brother printers.
That would be a Cinewhoop style body but with a kind of firmware that, alas, I don't believe is on offer. Cinewhoops are generally flown FPV.

Striking is an essential tool for unions. You didn’t comment on that part, but you did try to throw out the baby with the bathwater in calling the whole position nonsense. Do you think striking is not an essential tool for unions?

The court order in the memo is this:
“The Board ruled that refusing to work ‘voluntary’ overtime is an unlawful strike and in violation of the Labour Relations Code.”

The “voluntary” overtime is a clause in the union’s agreement, which is a contract (and which I linked). The court’s order is dependent upon the inclusion of the clause in the contract. I think that’s pretty clear, but could you explain why that isn’t agreeable to you?
What you hear is the horizontal refresh rate, scanlines per second. For NTSC television and CGA video, that's 15.7 KHz and within the audible range of quite a few humans. 640x480x60fps noninterlaced VGA is twice that at 31.4 KHz, which mostly isn't audible although a very few exceptional cases might. Higher resolutions are higher still, of course. That said, as with anything involving analog frequencies, there might be harmonics or resonances that could be in a range you can hear.
What’s the value in that?
