It's covering the gas outlets of the burner; the gas doesn't ignite till it's a little way beyond the burner, and most of the heat would rise (some would radiate down, and some radiant heat would reflect back off the plate/grill). So it _might_ not get too there, and this might work. Though I think a strip of aluminium wrapped around the spot would probably be easier.
Funny, I just wanted to post an Ask HN to inquire how businesses deal with the increasing amount of spam.

How do you deal with that? What software solutions exist to filter spam that work well with Microsoft Exchange?
> if all else fails, get a second job that is in front of people and also do your WFH job there

This sounds like a very convoluted workaround for something which, for some people, is solved by having an office to go into.

I think what is very clear every time this WFH topic comes up is that different people have very different strong opinions on it, which is fine. I wish people would respect each other’s opinions a bit more though.

For some people, working from an office works well from them. Personally, having worked from home for three years (2 pandemic, 1 in a remote job), I’ve found I really miss that “casual” social interaction with people at work and I don’t believe I could replace that by going into a cafe - maybe it’s a personality thing and/or a location/cultural thing but it’s very rare for me to just strike up meaningful conversation in a cafe here in London. Maybe a coworking space would be better but I still think there’s a lot of value to social interactions with your actual colleagues.

Others obviously feel differently, whether that’s because they want to live somewhere outside of a major metropolitan area, or because they don’t enjoy that kind of interaction, or whatever, and that’s also fine.

I guess the challenge is how companies reconcile the two into something that works. “Hybrid” only works if you have a decent number of people actually coming in to the office otherwise yeah, you might as well just go to a coworking space. I suspect we’ll see companies starting to align more to one model or the other as time progresses, and I think that’s fine - people can choose companies whos model works for them.

"Firstly, we’ve eliminated the global brute forcers again since they scan only the common ports."

Some attackers scan all ports for hosts that are known online through some other port/service/registration. They can also observe your traffic flows at each hop.

Brute force scanning all ports on all IPs might take you a month. But after that you have all these easy targets that people don't patch because they think their server is invisible.

Yes somehow the antlers and the spot where they are attached to the head make fake illusion of them being eyes, and the result is much more scary than reality. You can see a bit of his eye on the right.

That being said, if I would be tiny (or they would be massive) I would be scared like shit of them, since they would be unstoppable force catching everything they can and bringing back to the nest in their claws.

I expect the Iranian government will be firing the rockets. These people are backwards. They’ll execute you on a beach for wearing a bikini. It happens quite regularly. They’ll drive up with machine guns in the name of allah.

I’m not saying they’re stupid. Rather 50+ generations of executing the critical thinkers in their communities has ‘bred’ a specific cognitive deficit into their gene pool. They’re gullible. They’ll believe anything they’re told so long as it appears to come from an authority and their close peers agree. That’s why they’re wearing black burkas in the burning desert sun, and believing that nonsense religious hogwash and drinking rubbing alcohol. I’m just making an observation, it’s not prejudice.

I have determined that my unproductivity is just "warm up" time.

If something is due tuesday I'm guaranteed to spend most of monday angry about all the meetings "in my way" knowing damn well even if I didn't have the meetings I'd just be ruminating about the remaining work instead of actually doing it.

As a result, monday night is when everything gets done. This warm up dramatically increases the quality of the work delivered.

Fair point and a good distinction to make. I should rather have said "software development ideology driven development" since as you say, all decisions ultimately stem from value judgements.

I'm certainly OK with software development decisions being driven by an ideology of "this code shouldn't be able to injure anyone", just not with it being driven by an ideology of "everything must be an object" or "tests must always be developed before code, and any code which passes the tests is OK" or "code which uses the 'unsafe' keyword is bad".
This whole exercise in mass mediocrity cannot end soon enough. We need to be measuring exceptions not averages.

You're technically correct, in the way that infinite growth is possible if we only limit ourselves to efficience gains, i.e. getting more value out of the same set of contrained resources. However, in practice, many things that people want cannot be obtained this way. Sure, a nicer chair or improved iPhone are good, but people also want summer houses and exotic vacations and a car for every family member and these things are massively resource-dependant.

> I would have expected that. Amazon neither has the staff with expertise to investigate claims nor much interest in removing products that earn them a nice share

If the book attributes its content to Wikipedia, it’s perfectly legal. The issue then becomes "should Amazon remove low-quality products from their website?" (and the underlying issue is "what does 'low-quality' mean?"), and the response is no because they want to act as a platform.

Swallows. That and the fact wild animal populations swing widely to extremes sometimes. I have been paying close attention to swallows in recent few years and the numbers of them as well as the bugs they eat are skyrocketing in my area. When I moved to the area it was essentially empty field a couple hundred meters from anything. The farmer owning it converted a bit in the middle into residential building plots, a road was built, electricity hooked up etc. Most of the people that buy those plots do it as an investment so they don't do anything to them. I have observed over last 10 years how nature took over those plots. Hay that grows and is not mowed accumulates and besides being a fire hazard provides an environment for birds to nest in. Wild trees have grown to the point one wouldn't recognise it was a field a decade ago. I regularly have hedgehogs, hares, deer, lots of all kinds of birds (including a golden Eagle once). Every year there are huge numbers of swallows come in the spring. As of last 2 years there have been moose and even wild wolves. Yes, wolves, in a middle of Europe in 2022. I have photos of their dinner I once found in addition to other info.

People don't realise nature is very resilient and it will move into every area that is not polluted with toxins. Even with toxins or radiation (like the famous Chernobyl exclusion zone) nature evolves to deal with it.

I remember when I was younger I would often work until 7am because due to startups nature the work includes a lot of communication with founders, and I myself used to live in Russia, while the startups were in San Francisco / Los Angeles.

Today, If I stay until 6am the next day I am almost guaranteed to have a headache and be worthless, but working in the evenings is still my prime time. My colleagues often tell me "dude, it's 11pm where you are at, go to sleep", but at this point that's my 2nd nature.

Still, many people in the same company manage to work the "normal" 8am-6pm days, so I guess to each their own.
The ppl in the companies care. But they have become small replaceable cogs/machine parts given the scales the machine has reached. The machine has become mindless and uncontrollable.

Define trustworthy.

What kind of trust did you place in them that was now broken?

I at the very least believe they would not desire to expose themselves and their loved ones to pathogens.

If the origin was a leak, then, sure, we should see if any biosecurity protocol was broken and why, and design better protocols. But posturing that the researchers were not "trustworthy" is not helpful.

You call them untrustworthy and dangerous people and by that you are implying malice. Why? And what makes you believe outside of that small circle there aren't people far more malicious?

If creating diseases becomes so easy anyone can do it, we will see the age of biological ransomware. I am certain there are people far more malicious and far more immoral than any of the researchers who worked on this.

> We're talking about third spaces. People will definitely sit alone in their first space quite happily. They will not sit alone at the bowling alley or at church, however. These communities require a sufficient population of members to be compelling.

My point was - if there was indeed a need to create such spaces, they'd be there in spades. But, reality is, people are just happy to sit alone in their houses now, so the community spaces don't get created. It was already observed in villages in Poland in the 1970s. Before that time, people were meeting each other in the evenings, as there was nothing better to do. After roughly 1970, most people got TV, and in the evenings streets became empty and you could see a TV glow through each house's window. Now, with Internet and social media, it's even worse.
Yeah but I can still get fired for misgendering a coworker who decided last week that his name was "Sally". It works both ways.
Turn off logging. It will have the same effect (you won't see brute force attacks on common ports) with the same security.

You could also add 2 IPTables rules which would temporarily block all connection requests after hitting a threshold. But I guess actually stopping a brute force attack is less "cool" than changing a port number.
Making your username utka or changing the sshd port raises the cost to attack by a meaningful amount, but by simply requiring key based authentication you have raised the price of brute forcing your way in to practically $infinity. If the cost is already at $infinity it's pointless to take additional measures to raise it further as attackers will already have switched to trying to compromise your desktop instead to steal the key.

There are some things like anticheat / antivirus / DRM where there is no simple way to make it cost $infinity to break your protection. These kinds cases are where obscurity comes in handy in raising the attacker's costs.
A wordpress example from some time ago: Don't have user named 'admin' + plugin that generated random 'login.php reroute' and some more that I can' remember now. Good example of obscurity on extremely popular software (at the time)? I'd imagine it would certainly bounce lots of hacking scripts.
I have had pretty short tenure for most of my career up to now. The reasons for this are pretty much your questions turned around:

1. Am I allowed to write maintainable code, or just have to push features?

2. Will the organization invest in me, coach me and allow me to grow into roles with more purpose and hopefully financial reward?

If companies treat me like a piece of meat, in stead of a human who's trying to build a career, I get out. And often it takes a while for the truth to appear. I always hope to find a place where I feel good enough to work for 5 or 10 years, but up to now no employer has treated me well enough to stick around that long.

> strange outcome that writing really fast Python code is all about writing your code in anything but Python

I really have to wonder why people are so insistent on keeping up the “Python charade”, like, surely at some point we recognise that all the effort trying to back-port performance into something that really isn’t having it, isn’t really worth it, and we’re better off just porting the bits of Python that work out to other languages that are fast/ergonomic/correct/etc and everyone involved can get some time back.
It's possible that it's happening more in NA, but the article started with a research made on Denmark roads 1996-2017 with a 80-97% fall of insect splats in the period.

Anecdotally, I hardly had to clean my windscreen when I was living in a city. I'm living in a small town with fields all around it now and I never have a clean windscreen anymore. However nothing like the one in the first picture of the article. That's how my front license plate looks like.
The "sleep 10 seconds" solution isn't robust enough. Consider if you have created a snapshot on the filesystem. That snapshot has to keep hold of all the data, so when you delete files, the amount of free space doesn't change. A loop with "sleep 10 seconds" is likely to delete every single file in the filesystem in an attempt to get that desired amount of free space.

A very common thing to do with ZFS is to have automatically rotating snapshots, so that you can go and retrieve a file that you accidentally deleted or changed, without having to go to the backups. In this case, the space is freed when the last snapshot containing those files is rotated away, which could be day or a week later, depending on how it is set up.

Man, the news in general is just awful

I'm probably just reading the wrong news, but it all feels like pointless low-brow clickbait. I get all my tech news here and through random small blogs nowadays, and everything else is just worthless.

Like how nobody ever puts numbers into perspective. I'm always mad about how we get 100 preventable car accident deaths per day, and the other day I found out we still get vastly more deaths from smoking. Yet neither of those are in the news, instead it's all about homeless camps, racist hate crimes, etc. Nobody ever talks about Malaria at all. It's insane. Every time a car crashes and kills a toddler, they should plaster the kid's face all over the TV and social media and hold a multi week inquiry into how this happened and what we're going to do about it.

What's the point of reading the news if it doesn't teach me anything useful to my life or my voting habits?
Sure, but he's constantly referencing back like "$Deity, as we remember from the earlier event with $X, …", and I simply don't remember.

It isn't absolutely necessary to have that story in mind, but if it were completely irrelevant, he wouldn't call attention to it.

I also feel that the book would work better if Fry, for example, narrated Prometheus' story in one go, instead of diverting to unrelated stories for quite some time, and only then return with no connection to what came in between.

I fully concede that it may simply be a matter of preference.
