Fair point! Just got all the certbot stuff set up. Wasn't too bad, though at first glance it appears there may be a bit more variance in the RTTs.

Edit:

I think I found a way to get the best of both worlds!

I've removed certbot's 301 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS and made it so the protocol used during latency measurements matches the page's state. Now if one wants HTTPS they can use it, but if they want a slightly more stable measurement they can use the http page.
It is the subject: NHS, Peter Thiel, CIA, Silicon Valley, privatization...the media coverage on this sort of stuff in the UK is deranged.

Palantir is just offering a "shiny dashboard", we should build your own...it is that easy, just knock up a Palantir competitor in a weekend (the NHS has decent tech units, but core NHS is like this...they hire £20k "devs", ask why they are getting hacked all the time, nothing works properly..."this tech stuff is all just rubbish"...it is like the late 90s).

The author spends an article outlining an elaborate plot then slips in that Palantir didn't actually manage to acquire anyone...and was working with the NHS years before this email was sent (and provided valuable support during Covid).

The irony is that this media coverage explains why healthcare tech is so bad in the UK (there is actually a listed company, worth £10m+...that is just a staff directory for hospitals, it is pre-MySpace tech, and tons of trusts use it...it is actually comic).
If a game exists on PC and a console like the PS5 then ideally your license would let you play on both. It's the same product, just sold on a different store.
I stopped reading it after I saw the usual trope of "rules based."

The problem with NATO is that they can't comprehend the other sides have their own rules.
Really odd how there is a dozen comments on RPC but no one mentioned gRPC for the web browser. Google goes in the reverse, where from both protobuf you autogenerate API boilerplate, client stubs and even REST-over-HTTP apis.

I'm yet to see RMS out of his depth in any technical discussion of computer science related matters and I think it's a very big call for anyone to make without backing the assertion up (as you very noticeably failed to do).

RMS has a towering reputation in the computer science field based on very significant accomplisments, that is undeniable. Any random person on a forum is welcome to challenge that reputation, but they'll need to do it properly, not just sling mud.
This. So. Much. This.
Thank you! I really appreciate it. This year is not the most productive (war time stress) but I still hope to keep drawing.
Not too sure about this one though... But the organization is too well aligned with American espionage goals to dismiss it as just a well-intentioned grassroots organization. Do you have any good pointers about how the org is being funded? (Usually the blatantly obvious ones have funding traces back to places like various alphabet-named agencies and other places like the Ford Foundation or the RAND institute.)
NNW was the first software I bought immediately after I switched to the Mac in 2002. It was great then, had some ups and downs, and is fantastic now and 'boring' in the best possible way. Extremely stable and fast, it is the epitome of what native software on the Mac should be. And it's open source!

Also, Brent is a top notch human being. Huge inspiration to me going indie originally to write Mac software in 2006.
You should probably keep a log of the questions and answers, and put it in the team wiki.

You likely are going through the first full reconstruction of the dev environment in 1-6 months, maybe even a year. Documentation is GUARANTEED to be stale. Critical bits of info glossed over.

This turns the burden of questions into a constructive team exercise that pays a dividend.
This is a really stupid comment and you should probably delete it. What they've done here is pretty close to what I've been wanting. They're now advertising the port speed, which is all anyone cares about. They're not advertising meaningless version numbers anymore. The only improvement I could offer now is to advertise the speed specifically. What they are labeling as

40gb

20gb

10gb

5gb

is in actuality

More like

2x 20gb

2x 10gb

1x 10gb

2x 5gb

1x 5gb

Just specify exactly what the port/cable does. That's all you need to do. Version numbers mean nothing to me.
Older encyclopaedias (even MS Encarta) were a joy to simply read. Each article was written with a flair, not just with an objective to dryly impart data. I used to spend hours just reading random articles and following links, getting deeper and deeper into a particular crevice. I really think I have read 90% of the entire 1997 edition.

I feel sad for the kids today who have to make do with Wikipedia. It's amazing, no doubt, to have a free, editable, comprehensive source of information on everybody's fingertips. But the articles seem to lack the artistic touch, they are rarely a joy to read.

I think the common advice not to cite Wikipedia is telling, because nobody had any problems with citing Britannica. Why's that?
I had the same experience with NR. I couldn't possibly justify paying more for a developer tool than I do for the entirety of operations.
Credit Suisse failure?
That's emulation. Apps don't just run anywhere without you doing this.
I see it as a foray into the cloud gaming market and a way to stifle competition. Once Google throws its weight into the game, it might be harder for smaller companies to keep up or even secure enough funding to compete.

It's not always going to work out, but I do think Google's actions helped stifle competition in that market. Google could have successfully stopped another company from blowing up in that market and becoming a real competitor to worry about in other markets down the line.
It is kinda puzzling why Stadia was not sold off to Netflix.

It would be a win situation for all - Google makes money, Netflix doesn't have to start from scratch for their next strategic move, Stadia gamers are not left stranded.

Same as when Google sold Sketchup.

2012. Google’s sale of 3D modeling software SketchUp, to Trimble, is its first divestment in years, ..the search giant made a profit, as it sold SketchUp for more than it bought it for back in 2006.

Read the linked email thread and decide for yourself.

He doesn't know operator overloading exists. Then when he's told and given an example he claims it doesn't interact with type deduction in a way that is not true in C++. Then when given a simple example with auto he claims that the method overload resolution is equivalent to finding the right return type, ignoring multiple overloads and the possibility of type conversion after the function returns.

All these mistakes are acceptable, but when they were pointed out to him, he reacted by claiming blanket bad faith on everyone who was trying to justify using the full AST. He then said he wouldn't listen to them and instead would talk to "people he trusts".
PI in itself is as exact as you desire it to be, the real world is unfortunately unable to handle infinite precision :)
The part where he just shuts down discussion based on his authority was pretty shocking to me. I remember other instances where he did that and if I'm not mistaken it led to people forking GCC.
Love the "Periodic Table of DevOps Tools"!!! Not only is it brilliant in its creativity - it is a very useful analysis of DevOps capabilities and where each platform provides functionality to support that capability. Nicely done.
> they do represent a floor of acceptable behavior for people working together in a group

Huh? Working together in a group at a company does not imply any kind of standard for behavior, although companies pretend outwardly that there is some professional standard they abide by. The truth is that work places are filled with all kinds of horrible human behavior, always have and always will be.

People work together in bands, on art projects, on house renovations, on family housework, on adventures, on radical political movements, and it is OK for them to have complicated human relationships while they do so and capitalist companies do not deserve to have a say.
I grew up in a part of Chicago where it was not safe for my Black friends to be on the street with me after dark. And even then, you'd have been ostracized for using a suicide threat to coerce someone into dating you. It's a remarkably fucked up thing to do.
The first rule of network transparency is : the network is not transparent.

Ask HN: Email sent via work email (Outlook) replied to personal Gmail
Has anyone seen this happen before? Or can explain why?

I sent an email to a client. From my work email address, setup via Outlook.

The client responded, to my personal email address, which is an @gmail.com address.

I have never emailed this client prior to this, from either address.

The clients’ address is an @gmail address.

>> Free software is supposed to be the superior software.

Superior, yes, but only for "some definition of superior."

It's not meant to be "better in every way" and could never be that anyway since "best" of anything, is always a compromised nuanced collection of competing interests. With the FSF there aren't competing interests, there is one overriding interest and all others are subservient to that.

Thus GNU software is always the "most free", but is also unsuitable for most users. Emacs may be free, but my mom uses MS Word. Her definition of "best" might be different to mine, not least because her goal is writing a letter, not analysing source code.

To the original author I suggest the following - let the FSF be the FSF and decide for yourself what tools best suit you. There are plenty of alternatives to GNU software for anything that matters. If gcc doesn't do done thing the use clang etc.

The "pure" FSF approach to computing is not meant for the masses, it is meant for a tiny few. You are not one of those few. (I mean that in the pragmatic, not pergoritive sense.)

Programmers see computers as "a thing" - 99% of the world see it as just another tool to get through the day. My mom cares about her computer about as much as I care where, or how, paper is made. She cares about her software about as much as she cares about her coffee machine.

In one sense RMS is a visionary leading us all to software nirvana. In another he's irrelevant. In many ways he can be both at the same time.

It doesn't matter whether emacs does this, or gcc does that. We don't really need a more pragmatic FSF - there are already lots of open source advocates filling that space.

If you want to be pure, the FSF is the home for you. If you want to be more pragmatic then find somewhere else.

Personally I am not one of the tiny group of perfectly-pure users with no reasonable phone or laptop. Personally I think the FSF stance is absurd in most cases and out of touch in most others.

But I completely respect their mission, and I completely enjoy many of the freedoms that mission has brought me indirectly. Open Source exists because of the FSF stance - a happy side effect of it maybe - and that is a very important thing.

The world needs extremists who model an alternative extreme. Homesteaders don't make me want to live off-the-grid, but they do inspire a model of more sustainable living, I'm encouraged to use alternative water for some uses, perhaps install some solar and so on.

Long may the FSF set a standard for impractical, unwavering dedication to an unrealistic computing standard. They set a boundary for the rest of us to see in the distance, and they allow a middle ground far closer to that boundary than we would otherwise aspire to.

The FSF is gloriously irrelevant, and long may it last.
I remember seeing this blog post and the updated docs suggest they no longer reveal your IP but enable WARP and visit https://www.whatismyip-address.com (uses Cloudflare) and you’ll see your actual IP.
if you can query the DB directly from the frontend, what’s the security model? what prevents me from pulling sensitive data, passwords etc?
I came here to say that, too! Thanks.

I haven't heard of Jitsi before this. The tech looks promising! But I can't find the link to download the software for PC/Mac, only android and ios links. Is it mobile only?
Looking back, I think I got my numbers mixed up (thanks, beer!). $12 or $13 is probably the number I'm looking for, not $26.

Anyway, my logic is if I am at or higher than the median after I have drawn half the deck, then that means there are more black cards than reds in the remaining deck and I have a greater chance each draw of losing a buck than gaining.

So it is in my best interest to pull out at that point, than to try my luck against ever worsening odds.
The argument goes, that if they can target you for ads they can also correlate this with political beliefs, your ethnicity, your financial situation and so one.

If you want a credit and you are friends with people who don't pay back their debts you are also a risk for the bank and get a higher rate.

If you want an insurance and you are a extrem cyclists you won't get one.

If you open a shopping side and they know you can afford it, they mark up the price. (Udemy is ridiculously doing this)

Yes, this is death by a thousand paper cuts.

What could the Chinese Government do with the data? Lower or rise your social credit score? Stop you from visiting China. Throw you in Jail for watching Winnie Poo?

All the other tech giants were in the US and so we didn’t have to worried about this. At least if you weren't a terrorist or behaved like one. Now China has a totally different agenda.

Is it okay to be LGBTQ in China? What happeneds if you watch a TikTok with this theme?
Anyone can now use powerful AI tools to make images. What could go wrong?
TFA:"Consumer Reports found that the company uses some of the same techniques as Google, Meta, and other companies to collect personal data" It's even the article byline!
> RMS is nothing if not a man of principle. He really, truly believes in his ideas of software freedom in a way that I really do think very few people believe in anything these days

The thing is, RMS is also a free software extremist in ways. He uses free software exclusively. Hard to imagine living that way. At some point you will have to interact with Windows in our modern world, or interact with other proprietary software.

That said, I use Trisquel[0] as my daily driver and have no issues, but I also own a workstation with Windows 11 installed for programming and general computing. The software available for Windows is fantastic and many vendors target Windows and treat Linux as a second class citizen, so I'm forced to use Windows just to interact with our modern world.

So in a sense I'm enjoying the best of both worlds and not letting the free software ideology rule me.

Or, if a community doesn't like it's leader the community should pick a new one (or find a better form of governance)
I agree, whenever something claims to be "pretty much invisibly to the application", it means the abstraction is going to be too costly to build an AAA game that runs at 200 fps on modern hardware. There is a reason why DX12 is the framework of choice for 99.9% of the industry.

> If we had a big pool of people who are better than Stallman and more willing to work on the cause then we'd talk about them

There 100% was such a pool of people but Stallman scared or domineered them all away.
Yes, the behavior of people working under a rigidly hierarchical, authoritarian structure in which they sign over all their ideas and work and have no control over them. The complete opposite of what Stallman advocates. You don't find any irony in suggesting to regulate Stallman by this norm?
You ever try to pause or resume execution? Maybe want to fast forward through a function or step out and go to the next one?

There's a circular overlay near the west coast of Africa that seems to show the use of writing in central America.

Anyway, I don't think it matters that much. I checked the channel, and I came away with the feeling that it should probably not be treated as a particularly accurate or credible channel. They don't mention their sources or their credentials. It seems to be a history and cartography hobbyist channel and that's how I treat it -- as a starting point to dig deeper if I spot something interesting.
IMO Google was the first search engine to execute successfully, and that launched them to the stars. Building something that does the job on the label is one thing - building a good product is another.

So they are big because they were there early. But being there early didn't guarantee you'd get big.

What does your schema for metrics look like? Using materialised views? I am particularly interested in storing metrics with labels(key/val pairs) Eg, Prometheus metrics. You can't flatten them out into columns due to high dimensionality(can need millions of columns). Do you store the labels in an array?
A 300-400 dollar console that's out of stock is a barrier. I still can't go to Amazon and easily buy a PS5, and until recently couldn't have easily bought a high-end GPU, but I could have gone to Stadia and bought any of the (admittedly lacking) selection of games and played immediately, without even waiting to download anything, and on any of several devices I own.

I'm surprised at how many people are discounting what Stadia offered. My reasons for not investing in it are pretty much just data caps and lack of trust in Google.
Not only are there only three consoles, I bet I could set up any of the three faster than setting up stadia.
Great to see Better Streets here! Thanks for this eye opening use of image style transfer. I found your Twitter through The Urbanist.
That is bullshit propaganda. I work in infosec, one of the most interesting fields out there. No degree and I get paid very very well.

We are so short on talent we are forced to hire outside the US. 90% of applicants are terrible by any meaningful metric. Even when I interviewed at a startup once they told me 85% of applicants couldn't get past technical questionaire where the hardest question was having to fix bad syntax in a 6-7 line python code.

We got a guy who just got his BSC in infosec and even then they teach them so little it is ridiculous.

I am talking about 90K+ for 0 experience at most places! I am not very smart, I am terrible at making friends and networking, 0 social skills, absolutley unattractive or charming. Why am I doing well? Why is everyone else complaining?

I am baffled about "quiet quit" bullshit. Why don't people have self respect and pride in their work? I get retail workers getting paid an unlivable wage but come on! You don't have to code or work in infosec, before all this I worked various blue collar jobs that have similar high demand (and this was 5+ yrs ago), still no degree and all my training was on the job and it was paying ok (60-75k).

Why don't people want money? That is the question that baffles me so much.

I mean, even if writing code was the only way to get paid 6 figures, why aren't people lining up to code even if they hate it with passion? You get money!

Of course, it is because the immigrants and minorities are taking all the jobs (I wish they would at least the things can get done).

Even in US colleges and companies, look at who is writing all the papers and new findings in STEM and compsci: a lot of asian immigrants/students!

Comfy Software: A software aesthetic for hackers with depression
Not agreeing or disagreeing, however I believe their point is that companies care about profit over principles and as long as an employee Disable the produce or foster work that is used to produce profit, thats is really all that matters to them.

There isn't really an ideological bent there that can throw a wrench in the works unless you are doing harm as a company.
Since we follow an open core business model, we wanted the flexibility to introduce proprietary features in the future. Hence, we added a folder ee/ which will have proprietary code.

The rest of the code is still MIT licensed. And if you remove the ee/ folder, the project would work without any issue

This licensing model is very similar to what folks like Gitlab and PostHog do today
Modern consoles take way longer to setup than they used to. Playing a game on PS5 requires installing it, plus usually patches. I think you're giving consoles too much credit for ease of use.

35 isn't old. And much of what many of us do is glue systems together.

And you can't be hurt by trying a few interviews here and there, to get a feel for what people are looking for.

But also remember you've a child, and those can be quite rewarding.

I would continue to study and "play" with various new tech until you find something you want to do more of a deep dive into. And you if you find a company or two continually coming to the forefront, take a look.

Depending on how large your company is, you may also be able to do a lateral transfer, too.

As to the questions:

- Distributed systems are not solved at all, we've perhaps made it worse, heh. The number of high-profile outages shows that.

- Companies don't really know where you have your expertise; if you get comfortable with Rust for example I'd just put it on the resume.
Mostly on YouTube. Reading old magazines (byte, popular electronics). Startup podcasts. Talking to my friends, throwing ideas around. Visiting museums.
I'd much sooner recommend tRPC, which is much more mature and doesn't make bogus and weird claims on its website.
This is a pretty misleading stat. It appears to be counting people who immigrate at a young age and are then trained in the Canadian system. That isn't expanding the pool of healthcare workers, unless there were somehow a shortage of applicants. That absolutely is not the case for physicians, where every year the med school applicants vastly exceed the number of spots.

So what should really be counted is foreign-trained immigrants who were able to have their credentials considered equivalent, and entered directly into employment.
