And who says you can't write a kernel driver for a printer? It's certainly overkill but if you're into low level programming it's a very fascinating way to dive deeper into it, as I assumed is the case going by the last sentence of the OP.

I freely admit Google was not the big company I was thinking of when I wrote my comment. I would be shocked, however, if all of the MANGA companies didn't at least to some degree suffer from what I described. I think to any company that organizes work around services is going to have problems with APIs that overpromise and underdeliver.

I mean, it is not that hard to imagine, right? A car title becomes an NFT. Whoever owns the NFT owns the car. Same with a house. Or a horse. I'm not a crypto expert, but that is a relatively trivial use case for NFTs.

As for how this scales? I have no idea. I'm just speculating that it's gonna happen somehow. I mean, hell, look at this post - a nation adopted Bitcoin. You think that's the last time a government will experiment with crypto? China is already developing their own fiat cryptocurrency. You think it's just gonna stop?

I don't necessarily want this to happen, nor am I advocating for it. It's just a prediction, so I'm now sure how to answer your questions.
Google Photos gets a new look for Memories and a collage editor

This is just the Nest, not Pijul. I'm responsible for that, and sorry about it. I said I'd fix it soon, at the moment I'm working on an app to fix (a small part of) France's electricity crisis. It's mostly done, but it took me a while to write something that would be able to scale to loads of users before the winter.
But, there's a very real chance that you will if you spend it. In most cases, the courts will agree that it's theft.
For example rust doctests consist of compiling each little doc snippet and executing it ensure that the asserts are true. That's two processes (rustc + the compiled piece of code) per test. This is an order of magnitude slower than multi-threaded in-process tests. Process startup and teardown is a significant fraction of that overhead.

Now fork+exec isn't the biggest chunk of that. But it fingers the memory subsystem. On many-core systems this leads to lock contention. So the cheaper starting a new process gets in terms of virtual memory operations the less lock-contention you get overall which also speeds up other parts.

Show HN: An easy way to assume AWS IAM roles on your Laptop or in GitHub Actions
Hey everyone!

I've made a service to allow developers easy access to AWS IAM Roles using GitHub Identity.

This way, an organization or AWS account owner can quit generating AWS IAM Credentials to users or GitHub Repositories, and use the saml-to CLI or assume-aws-role-action to federate roles.

You can't self-monitor for racial bias without considering race. The statement suggests that they basically made an effort to check that they weren't (to exaggerate slightly) firing all of their black employees due to unconscious racial biases.

In the US, it isn't illegal to per se to consider race in hiring and firing decisions. The extent of the legal wiggle room that exists for various kinds of affirmative action is quite a complex issue of case law.
Convert to grayscale > find the tracking markers > rotation to turn it upright > normalize for variable brightness > threshold at the median pixel value overlay a grid and have pixel values come to consensus for the value of each cell.

All pretty cheap, so it's probably do-able depending on your definition of underpowered. This is assuming they take an orthogonal shot and there's no need for homographic projection (which would make it a lot more difficult to find the tracking markers).
New SF Chronicle Poll Finds Pervasive Gloom

> Argentina is explicitly all about using crypto to get access to US Dollars.

Kind of. It is very complex and I could write an essay, but to put it short, if you receive let's say a SWIFT transfer in USD, EUR, whatever, it will be forcibly converted to ARS (local currency) at an unfair rate: if you tried to buy back USD with the ARS you received, you could only get half of the original amount. It's almost like a 50% tax on any international wire.

Anyway people use crypto for much more than bypassing that. Some are interested in holding crypto, some are interested in holding stable coins, some to arbitrage, and so on. To be clear crypto is not used in day to day transactions (buying coffee) in any shape or form.

> And they're all going through intermediaries

I'm not sure what you mean by this? People here use both Binance/CeXes and hardware wallets the same way it's used in any other country. And unlike other countries, here (because there was already a massive black market for physical US bills) you can very easily trade face to face relatively large amounts (1k-100k USD) of US bills for USDT/USDC. Which is cool because it's the true decentralized way to on-ramp/off-ramp crypto.
When do you turn the logs back off?
Nice, I see some rsv4's at the track, still waiting to see a new rs660 so I can bombard the owner with questions. The new R7 is supposed to be "fun" to track, as it's got the more user-friendly mt07 engine, but its nothing compared to the scream of the 6. When mine inevitably blows up I'll probably be looking between the aprilia or maybe a gsxrr.

The responses in this whole sub-thread are a bit strange regarding the UK.

The typical model is for end clients or employers to hire a recruitment agent to find them either contract or permanent staff.

For contract staff, the agency will invoice the customer, keep approximately 10% and pass the difference to the contractor.

A contractor can choose to work as a LTD company or through an umbrella organisation depending on how much admin they want to take on and requirements of the client such as IR35.

Consultancies are a slightly different model where they own the outcome and more of the risk, and are perceived to be bringing IP and value as well as just the resource. This is where there is a the big delta between what the contractor is paid and what the consultancy charge.

In some cases, the agent can of course be disintermediated and the end client can recruit people directly.

In 20 years working in the London contract market, I have never heard of a situation where a contractor hires an agent to go out and sell their services. You can however build a relationship with agents to remain front of mine when their customers (end clients) have a relevant opportunity.

In a way, contract agents are operating as a match maker and making a living by taking a percentage of the day rate, so it is partly perception who is their customer. However, I think it's fair to say that they are hired by and represent the interests of the end client rather than the contractor.

I know you didn't ask all of these questions, but it seemed like the best place to respond :-).
Yeah as someone who went through interview training recently at $BIGCO it felt very weird.

On one side you had the HR reps talking about how you can't discriminate on protected classes etc, but we had to approach hiring from an anti racist lense with a focus on getting certain groups.

I really don't know how both of these work together, I generally support the goals and esp support being aware of diff people and cultures, my family are all first gen immigrants lol.

When the rubber hits the road I don't see how these two mandates don't conflict.
I'm not going to dox myself by revealing the firm; I believe I was the only American on site at the time and I was certainly the only one performing millwork installation.

I determined they were happy and eager because I spent each evening with them eating and watching soccer. I was down there during Christmas, and Liat airlines happened to go on strike so I was stranded there for 3 additional days. They made me feel very welcomed. I would spend the evening with them and then walk the ~2 miles back to the small house that was rented for me.

I don't know how much all of them were paid, but the framers were making a weekly salary of $750 IIRC (or so they claimed) and that was beyond a decent wage 15 years ago. Especially considering all of their expenses were paid. I flew down there on my own with all of my personal tools, did most of the work to secure a temp work visa on my own, and I only pulled in about $1250 per week back then for work that required quite a bit more skill than rough framing.
> What makes people think this sort of behaviour is good idea?

It's meant to counteract the fact that people who are obviously black suffer actual anti-black racism. You have noticed this. I could understand disagreement, I can't understand the confusion.

> In the past I failed to get into the local government-owned university I wanted because I looked white.

I don't believe this. It's not how you look, it's what you put on the forms. You may be accused of lying (I imagine) if you look white, but your parents will reveal that you're not. You don't think that, all other things being equal, in America, your uncle will have the same equality of opportunity as you without positive discrimination? He's not allowed to drive a nice car while wearing a capoeira outfit. Driving a car while wearing a capoeira outfit is a right so basic I never imagined that it would be seen as suspicious behavior.
To me, privacy is first and foremost protection. That's from my upbringing, I guess. It's hard to argue with anything other to people who don't seem like they care about their privacy at all - and I get it, some people just don't care and trust their government etc. What else would you bring up to these people other than the bad things that have already happened due to less privacy than possible?

I can’t tell if you’re saying people have foot fetishes because their fetishes moved “downwards” here. Like does it start with hair?
Step 2 is the hard part. How do you break down a "marketing and advertising" budget consistently? You'll find most charities purposefully do not have detailed insight into these accounts.
Also, the people designing these things have years of experience and are most likely thinking about these designs daily through out the years. So, in reality it's 100s of years of synthesized experience to be able to design something over a weekend.

> A non-productive worker is probably worse than no worker at all.

There's no "probably" to it. Offering a fired employee the right to stay around until their time is up is a mindbogglingly stupid idea. It's a recipe for massive negativity from them & for your existing teams.

Having participated in a RIF before, the two most common questions are 1) "why me?" and 2) "why my friend and not someone else?" Keeping someone who you've clearly said has no future around & asking them to contribute to the future of a company is ... what?

China discovers new mineral on the moon, names it Changesite-(Y)
As a software engineer responsible for building and operating various async and background workflows, I get a lot of inquiries like "I see cause X, why wasn't there side effect Y?" and I go and poke around the data to figure out what happened. Sometimes the cause didn't really happen, sometimes there are other criteria that the stakeholder wasn't thinking about that weren't met, sometimes the cause really happened but the data is missing or malformed upstream, and very occasionally my system errored out and dropped the ball. These are all deeply mysterious head-scratching issues if you don't have ready access to detailed logs.

More mundanely, if I get paged about an error rate, the first thing I'm going to do is look at the logs to see what the errors are.

Shame on you.
The Republicans left me a while ago. This kinda stuff is way too left for me and I fear the Democrats are going to do the same. I’d say I’m a moderate who votes Democratic. Both sides are going too far left and right.
I, and my peers, look at historical logs daily. Our customer response team is often looking at them on a minute-by-minute basis, and sets up alerts on them.

Our logs tell me the state of the application when the error occurred without having to reproduce it. They also tell me how many customers are having the issue, so we can set the severity of the incident at the appropriate level and reach out to those customers proactively if needed.

Sure, we might be able to do this with metrics or tracing instead, but that's often just duplicating information we're already logging. For example, by adding a correlation ID in my log metadata, I suddenly have end-to-end request tracing. It's not as pretty as what New Relic can produce, but it definitely works.
I don't follow it particularly closely, but I recall that there was a recent LWN article, "Security requirements for new kernel features" [1], which discussed the issue.

> Why pay someone expensive a salary to not work if the company is facing issues with money already? Like i get the idea of severance, and would want it as an individual, but it seems like it just bleeds extra resources.

It destroys morale. Yes, even more than the layoffs alone. Imagine working alongside people who know, in advance, their days are numbered. Motivation to accomplish work goes out the window, progress slows, and the internal culture will feel like a zombie during that transition and it will probably linger well after those people are gone as that culture infects other members who weren't let go. It's better to just rip the bandaid, take the financial hit, and attempt to salvage whatever remains of the culture.

This is really cool. Is there a way to use this with Rust, yet?

I'd be interested to donate say $15/m and then specify repos of mine, maybe mixed with some manually specified projects (ie for things i use in private, but i don't want to give access to my private repos), and have it split among them.

but all of this is Rust-centric. Does that work yet? I'm super interested, this is a problem i've had with Github's Sponsor Program. Feels like a small amount of money doesn't go far with Github, this splitting solves it hypothetically!
I’ve been a freelancer / consultant in the UK since 2013. Here’s the approach I took.

Initially, I stuck with the ‘permanent’ day job and start freelancing part time, in the evenings. This allowed me to focus on building a network of connections without the stress of needing to find a contract that would pay for my cost of living.

My first contract was through upwork (when it was called elance). I found a UK-based client who needed a small job doing for $25/hour. This merged into a new opportunity with the same client. 9 years on, and I’m about to go back to working for the same client once more, on a different project, at a much higher rate.

In parallel with this, as the pressure was not on to earn a living from freelancing (yet), I didn’t feel the need to fill every spare hour with billable work. Instead, I signed up to a bunch of different meetups, and volunteered to help run a couple of them. Through this I built a network of connections and opportunities, which led to _every_ other client I have worked for. I can’t stress enough how important this was for my freelancing career - visibility is everything. Tell everyone who will listen that you are a freelancer and you are open to new opportunities.

The contract market is rich and lucrative in the UK but you can’t expect to be handed opportunities via platforms. As others have mentioned, the best gigs come to those who put themselves out there. Speak to other developers at meetups and conferences, tell people you are a freelancer and eventually something will crop up.

Good luck!
Are they searchable and indexable? What made PHPBB and all that cool was that it'd turn up in search queries. As a hobbyist, this was an incredible wealth of information for me that has mostly dried up with the advent of walled gardens like slack, discord, etc.

Some might point at BBS and IRC and say that those were the same, but I'd argue that they had lower volume, and less rich media, and I'd go one further to say that newsgroups were well indexed and searchable. We are in a 'dark decade' of lost history search-wise in some hobby communities.
Threads are much cheaper to spawn compared to processes because threads share memory while forked processes are copy-on-write which requires updating the page tables for the parent and copying the kernel bookkeeping entries over to the child.

This seems like a fundamental problem, if you store a secret locally, you can read it locally.

I was skeptical/curious how Windows's Credential Manager could have gotten around that, but Stackexchange says this (https://security.stackexchange.com/a/120001/76848):

> The Windows Credential Manager is anything but secure. It's "secure" at the user account level, which means that any process that the user ever runs and the user themselves must necessarily be trusted in order to call this system "secure" with a straight face.

So this should be about as secure as Chrome or Firefox's storage. A small layer of obfuscation to deter the least motivated script kiddies, but nothing that changes the nature of the problem. If you store secrets under your user account, then programs running under your user account can also read them back.
