The law just needs to catch up with meat-space laws.

An example, I don't know of a Western style democracy, where it is legal for a cop to walk by your house, notice an open window, and crawl through it...

And then start searching your house, afterwards claiming "It wasn't breaking and entering! And all this stuff was just laying around!"

The law should be 100% the same for digital "stuff", in that, there needs to always, always, always be a justifiable reason, a warrant as well, before even the thought of a search can occur.

No back door usage, no "cyber tools", even if the phone is unlocked, on desk, nope! An open port(al), eg a window, doesn't give any reason for the search to be valid.

In terms of legalized back doors, and in encryption, that is 100% counter to all of the above. Case in point, if you want to know the content of someone's phone?

You can lock them up until they provide access -- after a court order requiring them to. EG, contempt of court, or some such.

(Even if the above doesn't jive in your legal locale, there are ways to enable the same. New tech, new laws, to enable the same concepts, and freedoms, and security, and privacy, our societies have known for centuries...)

Yeah, this isn't really that different than quant hedge funds hiring theoretical physics PhDs. It's not like you're actually going to be doing Yang Mills field equations to trade some stocks. They just need a guy to run some linear regressions, and can afford to find someone really really overqualified so they don't screw up.

Why be cgo-less, when in the end, it is just transpiled, with unsafe.pointer everywhere?

Do you gain some portability, that was not in the original C? Is there a speed gain, or ease to build gain?

Maybe the end "consumers" have it simpler, because they don't need to worry about cgo, but then it's harder to compile in the first place.
Been a couple of years since I used AWS and I remember when CDK was just coming out. My big question at the time was whether or not the CDK would alert you to errors at compile time and save a bunch of whaling and gnashing of teeth that comes with Terraform.

I almost choked when I saw the headline with that judgement, and I haven't looked into it, but I suspect part of the reason it went so high is because he and his lawyers got caught withholding evidence in discovery and perjurying themselves.

My optimistic belief is the high judgement was due to those extra factors, but maybe a lawyer can correct me.

That's how I like to travel. Stay with someone, help with their chores, go to work when they do (the benefits of WFH), basically mirror the life they live. Those rare trips get compressed somewhat, largely because being able to share the experience with the host means that there is greater desire to make those rare trips happen while I am there as a guest, but not excessively.
You have to also make sure everyone is not taking vacation at the same time. In most of the places I've worked, nothing gets done in December because everyone is using up their vacation over the holidays.

Ask HN: Buying a Premium Domain
I am curious to hear from people who have experience in buying a premium domain name or have worked in that industry.

Are there any good tips or ways to go about it? Just submitting your information to the contact form feels a bit like the rube's way of doing it.

The fact that the price often isn't listed makes me leery as well.
We have a concept in our courts called "punitive damages", which exists specifically to punish someone beyond the scope of the "real" damage caused.
Cloud also offers flexibility in buying equipment "just in time" and returning it when projects are cancelled. You don't need 6-18 month lead time to acquire and install hardware which then gets wasted if the project gets cancelled or rescoped. Having massive capex projects converted to opex is very appealing for a lot of businesses
Speaking as someone who is unequivocally of the view that climate change is the greatest threat to human survival, I will say that the manner in which you are attacking your opponent is far less effective rhetorically, logically, and substantively than you believe it to be, because you are bringing so many pre-conceptions about "the other side" that you are hearing the other party say all sorts of things that they aren't actually saying and framing your argument with them around things you believe they believe but that they didn't actually say.

By pulling your own emotions into check and responding to the actual concrete points the other party has made you make your own points far more effective because your words speak directly to what the other party is saying, not to a mental straw man you've built in your mind of what you think the "other side" says and believes.

The ad hominem attacks and attacks on things the other party didn't say (but that you believe they believe) don't strengthen the effectiveness of your words, they weaken it. I'm not disagreeing with you as to the importance of climate change, I'm saying you have the capacity to be far more effective in how you chose to make your points, and given the importance you attach to this topic I'll advocate you owe it to yourself and to the world to bring your A-game to debates and actions on a subject you feel is this important.

You might be interested in some podcasts by Oxide Computer Co - they talk in depth about their challenges designing and building a high speed top of rack ethernet switch.

They go into problems of high speed circuit design in general, and the high end gear and insane debugging skills needed to do so!

See their Twitter, or Spotify (Oxide and Friends) - eg "tales from the bring up lab".
Possible to detect.

Question would be how much compliance they would get, or mass non compliance that it becomes a hassle to deal with.
If you need to clear memory in the local scope, you need to deallocate a variable explicitly. Otherwise, all Fortran variables are cleared automatically when they go out of scope. One exception are Fortran pointers (different from C pointers) which are discouraged unless really necessary. We have a discussion for a high-level wrapper for files here: https://github.com/fortran-lang/stdlib/issues/14. So, it's in scope we just haven't gotten far with the design and implementation.

Selecting for lacrosse players (which as you say, has no causal relationship to job performance) necessarily selects against non-lacrosse players. Lacrosse players tend to be white and male,

Amazon should care, due not only to obvious legal risk, but also because they are excluding candidates who otherwise do as well or better than a particular lacrosse player. Why would it make any kind of sense to artificially shrink their candidate pool?

This is also a moral thing, not just a political thing. It's not right to discriminate against people for reasons other than job performance.
"and went to places to actually work there, for 6 months, or a year, or more" -- yeah if you have the ability to do that (job, family, etc) that is a great way to live IMO.

You mention the local linux groups. My brother, who does something similar to you, uses the local Ping Pong clubs. He is a top rated player, and its enough of a niche sport, but one that is everywhere, that its a great international community
Not sure about pricing, but I had friends who lived in downtown DC and they'd use Zip for overnight trips to visit in the suburbs. I imagine it was easier to stick with a service they already used (and had cars locally) than schedule a rental with pick-up/drop-off. But for longer trips, they used normal rentals.
You mean the bonus cap removal?

Well it was put in place for a reason. It's only getting removed because we can't compete with Europe since Brexit, so it's really just a balm on a self inflicted wound.
Store-to-load forwarding latency tool
I'd agree that unless you can really profit from having very specific hardware, you're better off renting dedicated servers than colocating servers you own. Have somebody else worry about having people on call to switch out failed hard drives.

Comparing either to AWS will inevitably lead to a much more complex discussion about spot instances, traffic costs, ancillary services etc.
‘Zero scent’: could negative reviews of smelly candles hint at a Covid surge?

I loved the article. It puts to words some patterns I have been developing in my mind throughout the years. I haven't got the experience to go that hardcore on localness yet, so my current algo is to seek destinations where the locals go to tourist. I find it a confortable middle ground between the shiny global touristy places and "contrarian ultra-local" places (if I can borrow a term tossed around here, not judging the article in any way).
Yeah, reality: no one is going to download code and try to run it. It would take them all day to do code reviews. You are supposed to go live with your buggy shit soon, that's what the business values. Once it's live it gets tossed over the wall and the maintenance process begins where lower paid workers tinker with it until they have the skills to code-and-bail also.
This lines up with what I’ve seen. I did a full deep dive benchmark against Elasticsearch and a Postgres FTS instance a few months ago.

With some tuning and memory page size adjustments in Postgres you get very compelling speeds.

I’ve actually previously written a full twitter thread on a somewhat inactive account about why we don't use existing dbs for search more.

https://twitter.com/kinglycrow/status/1533270619353231360?s=...

That thread led me to a project/product idea where you take an existing Postgres instance used for normal products or whatever, replicate it to various read only clusters with a custom search extension loaded and some orchestrator sitting on top (I’ve written most of one in rust that uses 0mq to communicate with it’s nodes) and create drop in search from existing databases with a nice guided web gui for automatic tuning suitable for most business use cases.

It fell off when my friend who wanted to help work on it went off to Google and you know working on a search engine for them became a bit of a no no. I still think it's a great idea with a lot of value, I should circle back.

I also write (at length) about how ease of use will win search here:

WebAuthn should negate the need for a 2nd factor in the traditional sense (you can't steal/extract the WebAuthn private-key). I suppose you could bolt on some kind of WebAuthn after a user/pass login, but I don't see why you wouldn't want it as the first-class citizen replacing the password entirely.
Thank you for sharing it!!

How to travel on the cheap

Author uses Airbnb. /facepalm

I have one advice for you - don't use Airbnb, small guesthouses are way cheaper than any Airbnb in SEA and busy areas have often lot of competition pushing prices much lower than done deserted areas, you have no clue about cheap travel.

And if you want really local experience then stay at CS hosts or find whatever you can like when I argued about price in one Thai island with owner and they suggested for price I propose I can sleep somewhere in floor, which I said it's fine with me, couple from bus station heard us and I ended up sleeping on mattress in their bus station office.

Also Hanoi is less touristy and more local than HCMC? You what? Who is this noob? I enjoyed motorbiking around Ninh Binh a lot, Hanoi is like top 1 or 2 most touristy place in Vietnam, heck even Hue or Danang are less touristy than Hanoi.
You are correct, nothing stops us from taking our terrible on-prem practice and applying them to the cloud except for one thing - it will be more obvious that we screwed the pooch because they let some renegades in before they were able to nail everything down. Now they can't hide behind their gobbledygook BS when they try to apply their existing practices to the cloud. My team is respected so much that we're able to push back on their nonsense in public meetings with the suits. Simply put, I'm enjoying First Mover advantage. Also, doesn't hurt that before joining this team I was on the Enterprise Architecture team and I literally wrote our Cloud Policy! I think that was well-played, even if I say so myself! :)
>If criticism really doesn’t matter, why does the Chinese government show so little tolerance for it? Are they thin-skinned?

That’s a very good question. I’m guessing it’s cultural, and it’s somewhat similar to what you see in Japan or Korea. And yeah, it’s unfortunate.

Also notice how you don’t hear about this problem in context of other countries. Same as you don’t hear about someone who spent four years in prison for merely talking to police when it happens in USA, but you would if it happened in China. Or how everyone in the west knows about Tiananmen, but very few heard about Gwangju Uprising.

As for the backdoors - there have been audits, eg by GHCQ, and hadn’t found nothing suspicious. So sure, we can suspect something might have been missed, but for now the score is pretty clear: numerous documented backdoors in infrastructure from US companies, none from Chinese.
Project Gemini [1] did just that. It's been mentioned here a few times.

It's not about how much complexity. It is about how well complexity is managed. This is one of those things that is not taught because the people who might teach it seem to think it is obvious. It is not obvious and it is not easy; but the legibility of software depends entirely upon it, and therefore so does its maintainability and testability.
Because sudden sharp rise in cancers is one of the top 3 unofficial predictions of the anti-covid-vaccine crowd.

Agreed. Unfortunately there don’t appear to be any viable replacements. Ultimately I just read less in general now which sucks. I hate what the internet has become.
I was just thinking the other day that a non-profit wiki for sysadmins would be invaluable.

It could cover all the basics but also feature case-studies of real-world examples of solving problems, so there could be a sort of knowledge base too that would attract seekers and lead them into the foundational content.

10 or 15 years ago, I remember being able to find detailed problem solving information on Google. Today the search results are a morass of affiliate and SEO content multiplied by plagiarism served from a mountainous dung heap of user-generated blather.

> Do you truly think Alex Jones's speech inflicted a billion dollars worth of damage?

I urge you to read up on Alex's conduct before, during, and after the trial(s). He spent most of his time mocking the process, attacking the judge, and continuing to defame the parents while failing to comply with basic discovery in a timely way. He also hired incompetent legal representation[1] - probably because they shared his worldview.

I think if Alex had taken the lawsuit seriously and treated it with the gravitas most people would assign to a lawsuit like this, the judgement would be nowhere near $1B. He's his own worst enemy on this one.
