There has been an erosion and change in the nature of the employee-employer relationship.

Back in the day that the author initially started working, the nature of the relationship was probably much more balanced: the employee got a decent wage, was trusted to fulfil their duties with reasonable concessions and freedom (sometimes possibly doing overtime if necessary, but also being able to leave early on days when they had to take care of their kid), and they probably had much better implicit labor protections: in the event of economic downturns, the company was much more accommodating and tried its best to take care of the employee. In other words, the employer was trusted and the employee was trusted to "take care of each other". The job was "for life", after all.

Fast forward to these days: companies have stripped away a lot of the care they took for employees; in the event of economic issues, big corps will fire people basically at random. Most employees are monitored to the minute, and leeway from the employer is unheard of in most situations. All of this "taking care of your employees when things go awry" is expensive (like insurance) and employers have tightened their belts.

It's not surprising then that the employer also starts looking for ways of not doing more than they are contractually obliged to do.

It is mostly about the erosion of trust both ways.
Ohh, I remember AWStats from 2009 times or so. It's nice, but it doesn't solve what FullAnalytics does. I use Cloudflare Web Analytics [0] as an alternative to AWStats these days (it doesn't require inserting JS too).

If you're concerned about injecting third-party scripts into your website, you can use FullAnalytic's Zero Trust solution [1] to minimize risks.

Boomers look surprised, and I think they fail to see the reality of current times. Decades ago, an university teacher, could afford to buy a home for his family , not too far from where he/she/* worked. Nowadays, even with FAANG salaries you can't buy a decent size home for your family even in a "30 minutes drive" radio from where your offices are. Imagine other professions who are not paid as much. People see through the "hustle mentality" grindset, usually only the ones telling you to hustle and grind are the ones making the big bucks. I understand there are outliers , people who did hustle and became very wealthy, but the problem I see is, the older generation fails to see the evident changes in the social and economical landscape that push their people towards this type of attitude towards work.
Having seen the inside workings of a local farming co-op, I can tell you that they they also do not necessarily grow their own food. Some produce is literally sourced from major chain grocery stores in town and resold with markup by the farmers at the farmer's market. To be fair, the sellers usually do sell some of their own produce as well, if it's in season, but some of them don't hesitate to also simply resell grocery store produce to bulk out their product offerings.

(And frankly, the grocery store produce often just looks more fresh than the produce actually grown by the vendors themselves.)
There's already a site for that, and it's price is always cheaper than the best deals your site can find. It's called Library Genesis.

There have been generational changes which may explain the different attitudes. I am an older millenial, and was brought up on the idea of putting in extra to learn and develop my career. I followed the leads of my boomer seniors.

But I don't get the benefits they did. For my line of work (not IT), I work harder, I am paid less, I pay more on my mortgage, I live in smaller, less salubrious places than they do, I will get a smaller pension, I need my wife to continue working to pay for everything. My children will have less opportunities, their university education won't be funded.

I think my specific generation were the suckers, and I can't, hand-on-heart, tell the Gen Z juniors that if they just work their arses off, they will be given some career with these kind of rewards.

Yet another aspect is that the boomers were largely male, with wives and kids who hardly saw them. This is far less tolerable these days. For every keen junior who committed 200%, there was an unhappy partner doing all the housework and bringing up the kids.

I went to the one in JP a lot before it closed. Our main issue was that the produce was often rotten / moldy and there were flies inside a lot. It's hard to justify higher fees and being "more healthy" when all your food is spoiled. We went because it was a 5 minute walk but now we use Whole Foods for everything.
Now all the crypto code in a binary is

- easily identifiable and more easily attackable

- because of the extra prefix byte, less likely to fit in cache and more likely to suffer performance

and also I can't make existing, well tested crypto code in binary form on critical systems I don't want to update yet run in constant time.
It's their history that is causing people to assume the worst.
While I wouldn't agree that it is worth banning someone for; telling someone that their preferred term for self identity is silly strikes me as very rude and implies a sense of authority or expertise that you really have no business in.
I'm guessing that several have recreated the exact taste of Coke, but due to brand conditioning, the image of the can prevents your brain from experiencing it the same way. At this point, Coke probably doesn't care if someone recreates their taste or exact recipe. Their unique branding, and common belief that the recipe is a mystery, makes people experience the drinking of a Coke as unique.

Funny enough, it's just like tickling. You have to know that it's Coke to taste Coke. Drinking another brand that tastes identical to Coke in blind tests is like tickling yourself.
A term getting around at the moment is "Acting your Wage" which I like a lot better. Employers shouldn't be surprised when people do what they're paid to do.
If my memory serves me, there have been studies done to evaluate the effectiveness of these measures. I don’t recall any off the top of my head, but scientists have also wondered and evaluated. The data is out there for someone more motivated than myself. :)

A lot of tech people. Believe it or not, Google still scores near the very top of "most trusted brands" when 3rd party analysts do studies. The tech community is highly negative of Google as a brand, but "average people" don't actually have a negative view.

I don't know about Facebook - haven't seen any recent data.
> I also shared with them my view that going “above and beyond your work” was the only way to continue learning and developing in the workplace and that it would pay off eventually … but I realised that I did not convince them at all.

I totally love my job. But sometimes I wonder if I would love something else even more. I make tons of money but unfortunately I spend tons of money. If I did like those FIRE folks do, maybe I could take years off of work and try something totally new and different - thru-hike the AT or PCT or take a crazy long boat trip or just code on fun projects at home.

Keynes said we'd be working 15-hour work weeks [1]. Sounds like some of this younger generation might just embrace it? I'm too chicken to try the stuff I list above.

I bet 30% of those hosts are don't resolve anymore

I've seen some evidence of this. I periodically dig all the blocked domains and noticed that some of them come and go so I assume people cycle them in and out to evade blocking. A handful of the domains just change the A record so I just block the apex domain which makes it a little harder to keep the block lists optimized but does reduce the size a little.

I should add that blocking the apex of some domains includes risk of dropping legit traffic but if I see more than {n} badware domains on the apex, I write it off as compromised or at very least poorly implemented and poorly secured.

> Can someone perhaps tell the make/model of my inverter?

Possibly, if someone went through and fingerprinted all the inverters.

If it's a plain simple inverter with no grid-tie capability (i.e. one that might be installed in a car), then it might not have any distinctive characteristics, particularly under load. Just plain simple 60Hz all the time. Lightly loaded, some inverters have a power-save mode where they alter the waveform to that it produces less wasted power in the MOSFET stage, but I don't know if that would show up as a distinctive sound.

If it's a grid-tie-capable inverter, even if you're not using it in that mode, it probably has some distinctive characteristics. These units try to wibble their frequency around a little bit to see if anything "pushes back", as a way of ascertaining whether there's grid power present. They may also shift their frequency as a way of communicating with AC-tied solar panels on microinverters, analogous to how the grid's own frequency varies with load, but not so smooth.

All of those behaviors would likely produce pretty distinctive sounds, and they may vary per model, and certainly per manufacturer.
>>> Loss of purpose, lack of fair recognition and the need to preserve work–life balance seem to be the main motives of the younger generations for quiet quitting.

Work-life balance and over-and-beyond are opposites. You can get one or the other. Lack of fair recognition for going over and beyond is a thing. I would say recognition should have a significant monetary component to compensate for loss of work-life balance.

Loss of purpose is dual edged. A lot of times there is a part where you have to experiment and throw away certain implementations. People go “above-and-beyond” in some of these situations and end up with nothing to show for their effort. It can get very demoralizing. In that, maybe failed experiments need to be recognized as well as successful ones if sincere effort has been put in.

Either way a successful upward trending career and work-life balance are at odds with one another. It’s for individuals to make the choice. Not giving 200% isn’t quiet quitting. Not giving 100% is.

Ask HN: Need Suggestion on Lisp Resources
Dear community,
Please suggest me some getting started resources for learning Common Lisp.
Verifying digital signatures is quite hard. Yeah, checking whether the stored hash is valid is simple but all the other things are hard, for example, whether the additions done to a signed PDF are actually allowed or not.

Or whether the signature is correct in all the small details, e.g. used algorithm, the included information.

And then it sometimes depends on the environment. For example, sometimes a digital signature is only considered valid if all the revocation information and all the certificates are included in the PDF.
Isn't that the intent of it?

Same as purchasing Twitter?
Indeed, its a weird terminology to use. Quit/Quitting typically has only one well-understood meaning !

"Quiet quitting" strikes me as being more like what was traditionally called "Work To Rule" in union circles.
The issues you bring up aren't really like types, though. Expecting every domain of math to use the same notation and is more like expecting every programming language to use the same syntax.

Derivatives are a bit of a weird case because some really intuitive and useful sub-domains only really need the 1-2 derivatives in time. So, hitting them with the whole (dy/dx)^(N) is overkill.
https://keras.io/examples/generative/random_walks_with_stabl...
Why not? If you include the public key with the signed pointer, then you can define a "hash" function that returns just the pubkey (yes with collisions, but not in a way that matters) and it is content-addressing. After all, you are literally addressing by content in this scheme.

What is actually the difference in any way that matters? What property does content addressing have that this doesn't.
Just as an example, look at the maclauren series as defined in the link. It uses f-dot, f-double-dot, then f^(n), having to note that (n) is the nth derivative rather than exponentiation. You have syntax switching and an ambiguity in the same expression.

That’s nothing. Study real analysis long enough to investigate sequence spaces and you’re looking at sequences of sequences. The notation for those will often use subscripts and superscripts as indices at the same time! But generally you’re not dealing with derivatives or exponents at the time so it’s not too bad.
I thought Elon's tweet was pretty funny, not just because "X" is already taken by X.com which he founded, but also because we already kinda tried an "everything app". It's called Facebook, and the reason why other social networks like Instagram and Twitter exist _at all_ is because Facebook could not keep everyone on their network.

Lest we forget, Facebook was the ONLY social network people used for a good long while, at least when I was graduating HS and entering college. You had Facebook for actual social networking, band/music pages on MySpace, and everything else was essentially porn bots and pedophiles, aka "spam city". So you have to wonder, if an everything app actually is a good idea, why couldn't the one company who had the most opportunity at the perfect time with as much funding as they could possibly need...not be able to do it?

Just because something works in China, doesn't mean it will work everywhere else. Actually, I would say that if something works in China, your best bet is that it _won't_ work anywhere else. TikTok being a notable exception.
Not sure how good average is. For small-ish projects my experience is more like Python having like 5 of them, with a handful transitive each, if at all and in JS with anything besides a hello world it's n^n^n.

The amount of stuff I've put into production with just flask + requests + dbsomething comes to mind, although I don't remember how many transitives those have.

The story itself is not exaggerated at all. It's the facts. Maybe you meant the tone, etc. That's how I feel about it, hope I expressed that, think I did. I think you got that...But I wouldn't say the tone is exaggerated at all, this is a f** nightmare this kind of thing. And I think I've accurately expressed the nature of it, I'm pretty f** happy with these words actually

Maybe I wouldn't have felt this way until I'd actually come across someone I considered outside the dragnet for this type of chaos, dragged into it. So maybe that was the tipping point for me to express this and craft this wordful expression

The fundamental wrong: why should someone have to pay you (a company) anything (time, money, stress) for your stupid f*** mistake? At least, company should own the f*** mistake, and never ever put someone through bureaucratic bs to right it. it's just f*** abusive.

I don't accept that this is a necessary consequence of required automation at scale...you just have to f*** do it better. the issue is there's no metric / incentive. inside the orgs a lack of moral fibre means people don't intrinsically incentivize preventing these bads, outside the orgs the lack of gov regulation means they have no external consequences for fucking people over.

It’s the same vein as the comments in cryptocurrency/blockchain tech threads.
We had the same idea about reddit years ago. Letting people opt into "dating" and then sending them matches of people who upvote similar articles. We were even building the recommender on the same technology. Not sure why we didn't do it, I guess we just didn't have the time.
"Sole discretion" basically means if they don't like you or your activity or speech for any reason, they get to fine you and punish you.

> Effectiveness of spaced repetition scales really fast / exponentially whereas other learning methods don't scale like that - do you agree?

Of course not. As I wrote, in the comment you’re replying to, I was a user and evangelist of SRS for years but eventually saw the reverse.

It’s a very useful tool for a certain narrow niche of memorization tasks. However, it’s an extremely inefficient learning method over the long run compared to reading and using information or skills in context.
> I'm curious, what do you think the OP meant when they said "stateless"?

Any kind of user session where user information is stored for access across multiple pages. When you use $_SESSION and write a variable into it, the content is persisted on the server and the user gets a cookie with an ID which points to their session variables. This is state that needs to be shared across servers when want you scale out.

The opposite would be e.g. an jwt, where the state is stored in the token.
"doing the absolute smallest amount you can get away with without getting noticed and subsequently fired."

That is an interesting phrase. Isn't this what is required of you to do? If you are failing at the job, you will at least get noticed.

So, what is quiet quitting? In my mind, it seems like not having ambition to grow in the corporate world is (negatively) called out as quiet quitting.

I'm not sure what gave you this impression:

> Basically what they did is do a reverse engineering and replay attack on a boot sequence that is already so convoluted that the company that built it didn't think that would be possible.

That is not at all what was done here, and my apologies if I implied that it is. Indeed, quite the opposite was done: we determined how it actually worked and what the part actually needed -- discarding much of the needless gunk and repeated initialization. So it's not a "boot sequence" per se, it is initialization of various on-die components. Is this AMD-specific? Yes. Is it likely to change in Genoa, Bergamo and beyond? To a degree, yes -- but in broad strokes, unlikely. And because we have the OS (and importantly, its tooling) available where this enablement is taking place, we believe that we will be able to make the necessary changes for Genoa and beyond relatively faster than the extant approach of waiting for a proprietary BIOS.
The quality of service appears to be pretty high, among the best in the world. I don't know about pricing, things in Switzerland are always pretty pricey even compared to the UK
Well sir, I think we should remove the ceiling and add another row of windows to the kitchen. Thoughts?
You are stuck in the thinking that what we have is going to be as good as it gets and are unable to see past the details of current tech and reaching for this ideal of efficiency that batteries are frankly an outlier of. The efficiency metric does not matter if we have power being generated and no way to either burn or capture this energy at the rate at which it is generated. Yes, batteries are the most efficient at making power available to us at the moment of demand, which is why they will take over a portion of the vehicle market (think local delivery vehicles, commuter vehicles, anything that returns to the same spot or travels predictability) but other means of power storage will be required for other use-cases. Batteries have an upper limit as to how fast they can charge, and there are cases where we need to be able to sink excess power or risk losing 100% of it.

There will come a time where we have excess power to burn but the fleeting nature of renewables will require that we store this energy somehow, which I fully believe that hydrogen will play a role in as you are able to create it at a rate proportional to energy you put in, which is more important that efficiency. Batteries will not scale to our needs at more than a micro-grid level. Scaling hydrogen production will bring down the marginal cost of producing each unit.

Remember that current battery tech was not as easy to produce as it is today for precisely the same reasons I am hypothesizing that fuel cell technology will become easier and cheaper to produce and more efficient in its operation so I will just reiterate this from my post:

> Complaining that a solution is inefficient, which has not been innovated on, is small-minded thinking.

Nonsense.

If that is the case, then one can only conclude that 99.995% of Glock pistols are defective, since they are never used to kill anyone.

How does it fail to prevent this? If you are the custodian of your own digital wallet (vs a PayPal account or linked bank account), PayPal cannot just remove money; it's not technically possible. All transactions are user-initiated.

It's fine to dislike crypto, there are valid reasons, but let's be factual here.
