Meh. Bootup time is irrelevant if the thing is always on. Many "dumb" microwaves won't let you use them until you set the clock after a power loss which creates an artificial "boot up time" of 5-120 seconds (depending on how complicated the procedure is; I remember microwaves that had absolutely obtuse clock-setting procedures).

Hi,
I'm a recent CS graduate looking for entry level software development work. My college degree focused mainly on C# development but after graduation I decided to start learning front-end web development using React and CSS. I have yet to work in the world of development and I am eager to start.

Thanks,
Joey Southerland
That was my takeaway as well. The "hustle-mindset" of turning every interest, passion, and hobby into some sort of side-gig is so pervasive currently that the existence of the word that sums up essentially the opposite mentality surprised me. Happy to have found it.
Why are celebrities so pissed about losing the badge?

Steven King went viral threatening to leave the platform and I and everybody pointing fingers at Elon and I’m just here thinking “why does Steven King care so badly?”
I'll probably get down voted, but I honestly really enjoy Java. The language, while it has some legacy verbosity, is in my opinion the perfect balance of simplicity and complexity. It has just enough language features without becoming Scala/Rust/C++ levels of complexity, while still being competitive on performance.
Then prohibit fossil fuels or make it prohibitively expensive or something like that, instead of harassing random people. Heck, if you wanna glue yourself to something, at least do it in front of some politicians door, not mine.
As far as I'm aware, the majority of US midwives (or CPM's) are not hospital nurse midwives. They do not go off-the-clock, though they sometimes have multiple patients due at the same time so you might still find a backup midwife is covering for your primary care provider.
Did you have test cases provided an intended contract for the code? Did they break? And did they provide a justification for the change of contract?
That’s easier to do in a country with as much government control as China. would that work federally in America?
Java and Python's notions of type safety are completely brain damaged. I can't imagine how things would have gone if I'd learnt them as first languages.

Rust, C and C++ get that better, in my opinion (you have to consciously choose to write type safe code in two of those languages, but at least it is possible in all three). Go's thread safety is way behind Rust's. meh.
In real-life, engineers aren't just cogs in a wheel that are interchangeable, who can seek work in any organization. There is also a smaller number of people who can/want to do systems level/embedded programming.

Ask HN: How do you Version Control your Scripts?
I have about Two Dozen Scripts in a Legacy Centralized Version Control System and looking to move towards GIT but a lot of the scripts need to be deployed at Different times so the usual branching schemes don't work without a lot of manual intervention. Git with SubModules look like they would work but would become a headache eventually. I guess what are people doing for Script Management?
True, I’m wondering how this will change now that you can just buy it. It might become this “if you don’t have it you might be a spam account” or smthg
Does everyones speed decrease like that or only MVNO?
Glass bottles were reused then recycled for many decades. Why exactly are we using plastic? Plastic is not "cheaper" if the total cost of all externalities resulting from its use are included.

One of our local grocery store finally switched back to paper bags this past week. Paper bags used to be the default back in the 1980s.
I think I would prefer not being born to have a life like this, thanks.

Doesn't pip's hash checking mode solve this issue? Freeze your requirements with hashes. Pypi already provides hashes for sdists and wheels. See https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/secure-installs/#hash-c...

If we are talking typos or other human errors, guess we could only warn people that there are other package with similar name available. Can't predict what people have in mind when they make a typo.
As someone who has been writing C++ at Google, this exactly. Despite all the tooling, guidelines and "internal magic", C++ is still an abomination. And no it has nothing to do with memory management, I actually do like C.

I love how Eric Raymond describes it as "anti-compact", because, well, it really is. C++ as a whole should be deprecated -- and no new projects should use C++ (unless for some very odd and specific reason).
“ I managed to tuck away very nicely“ There is a fine line between compartmentalization and repression.
I don't see them making any kind of comeback any time soon, since they can't get any high-tech equipment from abroad. Which is pretty much impossible with current leadership and current political system.
Tesla hasn't had decades of time to perfect their operations like Toyota and Ford.

Just 5 years ago, they had 10k cars per quarter.

You need to look at rate of change of improvement. Or, we can check back on Tesla 40 years from now.
I have used Grafana in conjunction with Influxdb (1.x & 2.x), postgresql, mssql and mariadb with little issue for ~5 years. I have not dipped my toes in the water experimenting with the log aggregators. Some of the 3rd party plugins have been difficult to use and there are some odd bugs here and there (histograms on older versions finding the proper xmin and xmax). What specifically has been confusing?
> Only one typo in an import statement up the dependency chain and you’d be compromised.

Doesn’t even have to be a typo if the actual project is compromised. Like one of the 100s of NPM modules without 2FA for publishing.
Late 90s to early 2000s for sure. Tons and tons of backends of various kinds were written in it. If it was Windows it was typically running on COM/DCOM, and in UNIX it was usually CORBA. Sure, the UI was typically written in something else. Dawn of the Web with CGI, and if we are talking desktop people would use something like Visual Basic, Power Builder, or Delphi. But C++ pretty much dominated that space until Java got decent enough and fast enough.
What are hours like at HFs and quant firms? I’ve heard they can be bad.
Every 30-60 seconds the music stops and a voice repeats the BS...

It might sound cliche and not based on a professional psychological, but the advice I'm about to give is working at the least. I had been at your position too and it helps.

You are losing and with that state of mind you might be attempted to keep losing, but I don't think you want this to continue, do you?

The first thing is to start winning. Realize that winners keep winning and you are going to be one. Create small goals! Inside and outside work. Move! Do 5 push ups, 10, 15! Doodle simple toons, sing some music! Write a simple game on a simple framework! Sleep on time! Wake up early!

Focus on things you can control. The corporate environment, you cannot control, at least for now. Treat them like a child demanding things to their skewed worldview.

On your firing, you're looking at the worst case. There's a chance to improve, there's also a chance to explore new fields.

If you intend to keep the job, tell to your manager that you are dealing with your problems and your're getting more and more succesful. Fake it till you make it, but stay on the course so you can make good with the job.
IIRC, it was an overhaul and improvement some months later. I didn't mean to at all imply that our code was better or that we knew better - the overhaul was much needed, only that the review process seemed broken. This was 8-9 years ago, so not exactly fresh in my brain.
Europeans tow some surprisingly large trailers behind small, underpowered cars. I've seen an older BMW 3-series sedan towing a loaded double horse trailer in rural Germany. They manage this by keeping the tongue weight low to work within the limits of weak rear suspensions, which of course causes trailer sway and some really impressive crashes when things go wrong. And you'll be cursing if you get stuck behind one on a mountain road. So obviously the European approach to towing is not super smart, but when people can't obtain proper tow vehicles then they tend to make do with whatever is available.
I remember overseas calls having a huge lag. Now I can call across and works and chat with perfect audio and video.
I think we’re romanticizing the past and failing to recognize the ways in which calls are so much better.
Are they? I know I'm biased because this affected me and I'm still mad about it, but I just don't buy it.

I contacted them, showing the plainly obvious malicious account that was distributing malware. Two months later, they send me a generic message saying that they've "taken appropriate action", but the account and their payload was STILL THERE, they hadn't done anything. The attacker was rapidly changing their username, and honestly I'm not sure their support staff has a way of even dealing with that. I tried to explain the situation as best I could, but they were not helpful in the slightest.
- And don't trust the routing in the actually remote areas, and prep your drive by putting GPS coordinates in your driving route -- but that's true of the competition too.

- And have a vehicle that's the size of a normal passenger car. (I used to own a special "RV GPS" that had better data on bridge heights and weight limits.)
Of course it's clickbait. China is bad and therefore we must make things look as ridiculous as possible, and make sure people leave comments (as we're already seeing in this thread) about China treating its citizens like prisoners
How can the average media usage be 12 hours 9 minutes per day? Is the average person only working a part-time job?
That's the approach tools like Fedi Finder have been using: scraping handles out of Twitter display names and Bios.
Very nice! The first release in five years. A great application.
That sounds like... How other research centers also work? If you're not hiring someone for their knowledge and experience on a topic, then what are you hiring that person for?

And when these people leave, they take their experience at Huawei with them. Now some other company benefits from Huawei's experience.

People hire me for my 10 years of DevOps experience so that I can help them implement practices. They don't hire me to reinvent DevOps from first principles without using any of my previous experience.

Just what part of hiring people for their experience is "unethical harvesting"? If there's evidence of people being specifically hired to diverge trade secrets of a previous employer, in violation of NDAs, then you'd actually have a case.
Absolutely love the aesthetic! The combination of futuristic, neon visuals with the noir genre looks amazing, I must say.
> pointers, structs, memory layout, endianess, pass by reference, compilers etc.

C++ is a bad language to teach any of these concepts. Sure, people will be exposed to the concepts, but they are presented in a rather esoteric fashion. Not to mention, actually leveraging those concepts in is bad practice anymore, i.e., using a pointer arithmetic to loop over arrays instead of iterators or the like.

I didn't grok a lot of those concepts until I took computer architecture, which was taught in assembly language. And we weren't taught x86, but a toy assembly language designed for teaching.

Another big pain point I had in school is that every professor / TA had different opinions on what was a right and wrong way of doing things in C++. And sometimes their opinions would conflict with the damn documentation too. There's nothing like having to relearn core language concepts every year at the whims of professors. This is probably where most of my disdain for the language has come from.
thanks for elaborating on what the neolib position is. though it's not even correct in terms of the point about history, see wengrow/graeber research for instance
I have the disposable income I cant justify it because I can’t multitask and also I have to also pay for glasses inserts. I want to play a space based VR game but I don’t see one out. I have a stand-alone headset (a oculus quest 2) and I don’t even play it.
He's talked about the stress/anxiety of his job before, but I somehow thought he'd be above this, maybe it's just a joke? Twitter has been notoriously hard to lead, I wonder who he'll get to replace him. I have to imagine that dealing with all the big personalities on twitter will be stressful. Everyone wants a piece of Musk now, which is probably bad for a guy with three jobs.
I doubt there is much technically in the way other than it being of fairly limited use in most cases. Your iPod case has a ~0.5Ah battery while an iPhone 14 Pro Max has a 4.3Ah battery. Add in the inefficiency of wireless charging and you would be lucky to get a 10% charge off the iPod case.

IIRC, some Samsung devices have the capability of charging between devices, but I personally can't imagine anyone I know using this. Perhaps to charge an Apple watch wirelessly from the phone while the phone is plugged would be useful when traveling.
> suddenly on speaker phone so the sound would blow up my ear.

This being so bad is a phone design issue that goes beyond the touchscreen.

Well designed phones have two microphones and speakers, so when in speakerphone the top becomes the mic and the bottom the speaker, preventing deafening people in the event of an accidental switch.
This would need access to a real database. Does the application run on my servers? Opening a production database to a service hosted somewhere else makes this a non-starter for a lot of businesses.
Also, "safe c++" is still c++. You can write it as safe as you want, but all it takes is one 3 month contractor to come shit all over you codebase and leave. If your company doesn't have enough resources to control what goes in at all times, you will easily get stuck with fixing someone else's memory leaks. At least rust has built-in safeguards against that.
cp itself should have been two commands, or at least accept two flags for those two very different semantics.

Actually there's a wave of unixy tools being written in Go and Rust and I think there might be a suitable cp replacement already, but it's up to distros to package it.
I never said Mastodon was a failure because its not Twitter. I'm somewhat skeptical but I think the jury is still out on Mastodon. There is a lot of potential there. Part of me thinks the Fediverse is a great idea but it causes more problems than the value you get from it.

>On May 13th, 2008 the Debian project announced that Luciano Bello found an interesting vulnerability in the OpenSSL package they were distributing. The bug in question was caused by the removal of the following line of code from md_rand.c

> MD_Update(&m,buf,j);
> [ .. ]
> MD_Update(&m,buf,j); /* purify complains */
>These lines were removed because they caused the Valgrind and Purify tools to produce warnings about the use of uninitialized data in any code that was linked to OpenSSL. You can see one such report to the OpenSSL team here. Removing this code has the side effect of crippling the seeding process for the OpenSSL PRNG. Instead of mixing in random data for the initial seed, the only “random” value that was used was the current process ID. On the Linux platform, the default maximum process ID is 32,768, resulting in a very small number of seed values being used for all PRNG operations.

The most security focused uh? the distro where a maintainer modifies code he doesn't understand because valgrind complains about it? In one of the most important packages of a linux distribution? No.
Anyone who has had memories of this event would treat anything stamped with debian's name as nuclear waste.

Debian has had many conflicts with upstream projects for their relentlessly idiotic patching. Firefox once prohibited Debian from using the FF trademarked name and debian in turn renamed firefox "Iceweasel" in their distribution to continue shipping their tainted version.

I'd trust any of these : RHEL/Fedora, openSUSE, Gentoo and Arch over debian any day.

My wife and I have had Mint for 3 years in NYC and I don’t recall ever having had a situation where there was good service but slow data. Speed tests on 5G generally run over 400mbps.

I did a trial before we switched from a regular AT&T plan and I had significantly faster internet at my office, on the subway, and at home than with AT&T. The AT&T service was typically useless at sports games and concerts and stuff anyway, so the concept of deprioritization didn’t really phase me. Saved us $1000/year and we got better service. Couldn’t be happier.
Let us take the «continuous learning system» that is «coached»: very hopefully, it will not be literally «to conform to societal norms»¹, but to understand why it is appropriate or inappropriate to «call [the] aunty» one way or another.

The «continuous learning system» is either heuristic - an investigator - or an "artificial fool", of dubious utility (what is the use of something that "just has an opinion"). That poses an entity that reasons in a foundational context: why this and that.

If Kahneman - which I unfortunately have not yet had the time to read, though I was able to taste a bit of his interview by Lex Fridman - supposed that something "ineffable" oriented Einstein towards determinism and Bohr to more open stances, it is for their scientific work, valid on foundational grounds, that we remember them - not for their leanings.

Generally you move to the suburbs to get away from the buzz.
You may be able to sue the government for the violation of your civil and constitutional rights and the damages it and its doctors caused to you. That will be true regardless of whether the doctors themselves violated any ethical rules. I suggest you contact a competent lawyer in your jurisdiction if you are interested in pursuing this.
I wondered why C/C++ is not appreciated more by engineers. I hear a lot of comments along the lines "rust is safer". While I get it is safer in some aspects a lot of times I've heard people end up writing unsafe rust anyways. Then the next argument goes well you should write as little as possible of that unsafe rust. Fact of life is that you will need to write unsafe rust. Actually unsafe INSERT_ANY_LANGUAGE_HERE. My point is as an engineer you will need to learn how computer works. And I don't mean just at a surface level but really deep. So once you have that knowledge why not just use it?
I don’t think they’re overeating voluntarily. It’s often a vicious cycle.
It's worth noting that if you install Yubico Authenticator on another device and use the same key, you do have access to the codes, because as you said, they're stored on the key.

I initially thought the codes were stored on my phone and the key was only required for access, but that's not the case.

That's either a benefit or a drawback, depending on your threat model, but it's definitely something people should understand.
I just read the link. I don't think your characterization of the conversation is fair. Either way, it seems like the people behind the project have a CoC about what language is allowed. Further, the first response seems pretty reasonable to me from both a technical and ethical standpoint.

I would add, lemmy doesn't seem to be about pure free speech, or free speech above all else. They've made it clear that slurs are not acceptable, and anyone who doesn't agree is free to go somewhere else.
> It is astonishing how "alcohol" is front and center in many things.

Alcoholics love to normalize their behavior and there are a lot of them in the media making subtle decisions that promote their lifestyle.
There are no safe ways to consume alcohol. The only completely safe amount is zero.

Past Jupiter hydrolox is unusable because of boil-off issues. The best option past Jupiter is nuclear electric, aka ion propulsion.

Oops! I misremembered things. I shouldn't have used your name – what I remembered is that you're gone, and other contributors who posted great content (that they themselves wrote) and good comments have also been banned for "self promotion". I conflated the two, but not maliciously/intentionally.
...which is ridiculous because of what it takes to become an EE VS what it takes to become a "web developer". Basically anyone who can handle basic logic can be a web developer if they just put in a bit of effort. Degree or not!

To become an EE you need a 4-year degree and a whole heck of a lot of knowledge about things that are a real pain in the ass for laypeople like calculating inductance, capacitance, and impedance (<shudder>).

You don't need much knowledge to make a circuit board, no. But when your boss wants to add a USB 3.0 hub to your product it suddenly becomes a, "wow, we really need an EE" job (because the spec has so many requirements and you're not going to get your product certified unless you can demonstrate that you followed it).
Like I said, notoriety and control of users. People ran BBS servers to be sysops, IRC servers to get O:lines, open source projects to get their name out there, etc. "Pure altriusm" could also be a motivator.
Jokes on you, they probably didn't fix big either ;)
If you want to get really wormy, you can claim alcohol doesn't even cause DUI crashes; those are caused by the person who decided to drink and drive. The agency lies with the drunk person, not with the substance they consumed.

But that's a meaningless distinction if you're concerned about the impact of DUI to the public. So "alcohol involved" is more accurate and gets to the meat of what we actually care about.
I didn't really see any of those steps as a nightmare :-)

But perhaps we have a different level of tolerance. For me, it's convenient.
I think the skepticism is on any article that has a single answer to health related problems.

For me, I find that a lot of people blame alcohol for other negative behavior in ways that doesn't make sense. It is fair to say alcohol gets too free of a pass, at large, while also thinking it is too quickly blamed for things, too.
