My interactions with system administrators were more along the lines of "I can't give you access to this system, you have to [come to my desk / hop on a zoom call] and tell me what to type into the shell." and me "Please type tail dash f, no, not slash, dash, the horizontal line thing" and a whole lot of back and forth like this, after which I thank them politely and they feel very accomplished while I'm left guessing why that entire department is necessary...

I usually write a script that idempotently spins these things up locally, and use the shellHook to call that script. That way whenever I cd into the dir the first time, direnv loads the nix-shell, which starts the db, message broker, etc. I also have a shutdown script that I run when I manually want to shut things down. Works quite well.

For more advanced use cases, such as k8s with tons of services, you're better off using something like tilt.dev.

> I was explaining in a metaphor how I interpreted OP's reason for not liking React/JavaScript.

Yes, but you failed to note it's just your interpretation, not what the GP said himself. And you continued by assuming your interpretation is correct, suggesting that the GP should get fired because of it.

In reality, your interpretation is most likely not what the GP meant, and you clinging to your uncharitable interpretation in the context of GP comment was what I called "uncalled for". Please review the HN guidelines, this situation is addressed there explicitly (argue against the strongest interpretation of what others say, not the weakest; argue against what was said, not a person who said it). It's worth revisiting the guidelines from time to time, even if you're a long-time user.

In this case, the more sensible interpretation would be something like this: the ecosystem where you have to include two completely different frameworks to get things done is overly complex, and the complexity is what the GP hates. It's perfectly valid position, too.

At which point, it should be something governed by elected officals and not random people who have opinions. And what we're often seeing is random people at various levels of non-elected roles deciding what is and what is not acceptable speech within a school system.
TAOCP.
B basically isn't random (that's why quantum entanglement is intersting) but you have 3 options on when to read its state ( which you can only do once):

Option 1 is that you read it before the state of A is read, in which case my undestanding is you are effectively A in this scenario.

Option 2 is that the state of A has been read, but it is unkown to you yet, because of speed of light reasons. You read B, and can infer the state of A, but because A is random, no information has been transmitted. The "sender" cannot control which state of A they read, and had you not known about it, the state of B might as well be random.

Option 3 is that you read B after recieving the state of A, in which case there is something useful in that only you can make sure that only the sender knew of the state of A, meaning you are effectively authenticating a message. But still no information has been transmitted faster than light, it's just a secure channel.

Do not loose time on useless meetings and focus on an actual work
Did you ever have to feel that a given meeting could be done as an email for another asynchronous form?

We did that is why we decided to create CoDaily - So far Slack plugin allows us to skip useless meetings or meet on a call when there is a such need.

Using CoDaily you can answer meeting questions and, in case of need, meet with a specific agenda. Do not waste your and your team's time on meetings which can be handled asynchronously.

If you never had such feelings I'm a little bit jealous :) and CoDaily probably won't help you.

Cheers!
I thin kthis has the opposite problem where this explanation downplays the effect. For example, while you cannot do FTL communication using entanglement, if you have an entangled pair and send a single classical bit then you can transmit two bits of information.

Five Hong Kong speech therapists jailed over children's books denounced as 'brainwashing exercise'

> Five Hong Kong speech therapists were sentenced on Saturday to 19 months in jail for conspiracy to publish seditious children's books, featuring cartoons of sheep and wolves that prosecutors had deemed anti-government.

> The five were convicted on Wednesday under a colonial-era sedition law in a case denounced by rights campaigners as a "brazen act of repression", which the Hong Kong government has rejected.

> The defendants, who had pleaded not guilty, were accused of publishing three books featuring cartoons of sheep fighting against wolves.

The migration data compares July 2021 to early 2020.

A lot of that out migration has reversed at this point (in fact, more than reversed), as people realize that super hot weather might be nice in certain days of the year, but it really sucks during the rest, bad schools are still bad, bugs suck, and there was a reason they weren’t living in flung out car first suburbs in the first place.

The point of libraries is to give access to children who don't necessarily come from privileged family to a diversity of opinions. Removing books from libraries shape what information those children can access.

People seem to think that the carbon dividend makes saving CO2 pointless for the average consumer but they forgot that the consumer isn't actually in charge of deciding how much CO2 pollution a production process should result in. The business sees a cost on its balance sheet and it has an incentive to minimize its costs, which also is an incentive to minimize pollution even if the average consumer doesn't give a rat's ass.
Any definition of "approprite" is going to be in the context of some set of moral beliefs. Why should we treat religious ones differently than secular ones? For example, there's a secular set of beliefs held by all the righteous Twitter users that have had massive effects on what books are in school libraries or that we're even allowed to buy, why should that be any more acceptable because they're secular in nature?

I know that the people pushing those beliefs consider them the one true, correct set of moral beliefs that every right-thinking person should hold - so much so thatt they reject the idea of naming them, because that would suggest there could be other correct beliefs. That's not very convincing to anyone who doesn't already share their beliefs though (especially given how often and quickly they shift).

Emailgurus – Mute noise from emails coming from outsiders
I was trying to figure out a way to classify emails coming from people outside of my contact list, but Gmail did not offer any solution. Emailgurus is here to solve exactly that.

I know that most people are privacy-aware and thus reluctant to give apps access to restricted scopes such as reading your emails and your contact list for the possibility of data & power misuse.

This is why I'm happy to announce a few things with this launch:
1- I don't care about your data. That's why I am encrypting all your sensitive information irreversibly. We are using SHA256 to encrypt your contact list, and all lookup is performed on Hash to Hash basis.
2- Other sensitive data such as Google Tokens are encrypted with secured rotational keys.
3- This software is open source! Anyone can verify points 1 & 2 and see how I process your data and ensure we're not misusing it. Here is the link to the repo for anyone wishing to explore/contribute. https://github.com/asennoussi/em... (Remember to it)
3- For everyone who doesn't want to bother with the code, the building, the deployment, the infrastructure, the DevOps, and just wants to keep their inbox clean and the noise to the minimum, you can use the service for a small monthly fee. (I'll be thankful for that.)

Please let me know your feedback and your comments.

To answer your strawman, nah for me I got zero network from "college" but I enjoyed the education. Financially the biggest benefit is not getting rejected from jobs that require it.
That's misleading. The governments had nowhere near the control of information that modern technology allows them. Look at which governments are most enthusiastic to use social media against their own citizens, primary in the list are authoritarian, even small underdeveloped countries like Myanmar and azerbaijan.

Ask HN: Best empirical papers on software development?

First, democracy between quotes as it emphases the word as a concept.

Second, if you just think that the book was just about communism, then you did not understand it very well.

The morale of the book is the "people" throwing out what they see as dictators abusing them, replacing it by a democracy/ free society. But then, the people enslave themselves to go little by little into another from of dictature. But they drive themselves to the butcher voluntarily by allowing each time new restrictions on their liberties and rights because it looks justified. Not realizing where this is leading them and forgetting the past. They think that they have free will but they don't really have because they are manipulated.

It happens that communism implementation did fit very well into this pattern. But if you look at it, communist China and Russia also pretends to be kind of democracy and only the voice of their people.

Honestly the indulgence system is easy to game. Just buy an indulgence and kill the issuers of indulgences.
As someone who gravitated to sysadmin side (it was easier to get work than AI, especially if you grew banging together components to get a working desktop since 1990s)...

k8s is a great lever for sysadmin. It's the kind of tool we spoke of in fevered tones when we shared legends of "automating our job so we would only need to pick they paycheck". Does it mean there's less need for absolute Ops-side numbers? Sure. Did we have the numbers before? hahaha, fat chance, nope. So in my experience, moving onto k8s often means my job involves less understaffing now, less panic, and less cursing. Most importantly, less reasons to visit Scary Devil Monastery (alt.sysadmin.recovery).

And if the low amount of work starts to get depressing... you can always take another job[1] or start engineering the shit out of the infrastructure. Bonus points if you make it without making it problem for future you (so documentation and the like) and without raising costs.

> It would be nuts to let every developer tinker with the production server, or the source-code repo, or the fileserver.

I think that it might be a good idea to have most of the configuration for servers be based on Git repos, with something like Ansible or another such solution (Chef, Puppet, Salt), so that server configuration wouldn't be treated that differently from versioned code (which also serves as a historical record).

Don't give developers access to just push changes for production servers, but absolutely let them create merge/pull requests with changes to be applied once proper review is done: ideally with a description of what these changes accomplish, references to other merge/pull requests for development/test/staging environments where they were tested beforehand (perhaps after prior tests against local VMs) and a link back to whatever issue management system is used.

Then, have an escape hatch that can be used by whoever is actually responsible for keeping the servers up and running, in cases an update goes bad or other manual changes are absolutely necessary, but other than that generally disallow anyone to access the server directly for whatever reason (or at least remove any kinds of write permissions).

Personally, I'd also argue that containers should be used to have a clear separation between infrastructure and business applications, but that's mostly the approach to use when dealing with web development or similar domains. Regardless, I find that it's one of the more sane approaches nowadays, the Ops people can primarily worry about the servers, updates, security, whereas the developers can worry about the applications and updates/security for those.
"Moms for Liberty to read books, no not that book"
And what if the other taxpayers want those books? Because that's what TFA is about.

Like i said in another comment, while i haven't read most of the books discussed, I've read 'a modern romance' (Streisand effect mostly tbh), and 'a handmaid's tale'. Those are infinitely less stressful to read than 1984 (especially the last part which still traumatize me 17 years after) or even worse: Howard Buten books, which were so fundamental in my development, but the most stressful read.

Of you think those should be banned from school libraries, why not, but please, do we agree this is still banning books.

Also the "we put the 'lit' in literature" exposition which shows old, now unbanned classics, Fahrenheit 451 and books burned in public by the local pastor: pure genius.
There's no reason for that to involve a remote server.

You have the local encrypted database.

You have the key.

Opening your front door doesn't require a trip down to the hardware store whe$e you brought it.
While I don’t agree with their plan, the only reason it was proposed is a tradeoff between allowing e2e encrypted cloud backups and upholding the law regarding no child porn on their servers. If you have a better idea then I’m sure they are happy to hear it!

My reading is that it isn't so much about the security agencies (in the Netherlands at least), but the politicians that are widening scope because that's what they think is needed.

One of the problems in recent Dutch political culture is that elected officials listen less and less to their experts and own ministerial advices, and more and more to (imagined) public calls. The idea that part of their role means to translate, explain and defend technical advices from their ministries seems to have been entirely abandoned.
