It's interesting to read about other philosophies for engagements. In the places I've worked it would be rare to send a junior engineer on a short engagement. The reason being that short engagements are usually 1 engineer, maybe 2. There are always tools and tests that take time and it's better to have 1 engineer for 2 days than 2 engineers for 1 day. We'd send our junior engineers on the multiweek engagements so they'd learn more. They'd get a chance to encounter all types of systems and networks, and would be able to see how the senior engineers approach problems. We could even leave them to figure out complex topics on their own in some cases (and often they'd teach us new things in the process!).

But as I said in another comment, depending on what people consider to include as "report writing" I can definitely see some engagements needing 50% time there. So maybe this person did just get unlucky.
If I were that rich I would just pay someone to learn what kind of outfits I like and pick out my clothes for me.
And that definitive edition is listed as gold on ProtonDB.
A French proverb is « Il n’y a pas de fumée sans feu », means there is no smoke without fire. I use it a lot in my day work when I try not to watch a suspicious behavior…
If you search for Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8,...., versus Linux, you will find similar arguments being made as prophecy of the great migration.
As long as it can run Steam. Steam on Linux has Proton built in.
I will say I've been wondering in general whether ChatGPT is going to break HN by being used to make HN sounding answer or questions to things.

Although at the same time if no one notices and continues to enjoy the reading, then maybe no one is harmed?

In my gut I would be very sad if ChatGPT content started flooding in
Why single out nuclear? You could also say that banning fracking in Germany was a bad decision - could have provided a lot of gas now.
Yes, in US English you'd say "in school", "in prison", but "in the hospital", for whatever reason. But you'd say "in hospice".
> Hey, sorry that happened, it should have preserved all of the default applications, etc.

Allow me to be skeptical. This isn't the first time.
I wonder how long until someone puts guns on its arms.
This resonates with me, as someone who switched to Linux awhile back for similar reasons. Having an overtly adversarial relationship with the company who makes a major tool of mine is not a pleasant experience.

In addition to the points you raised, it always feels possible to fix something with Linux. It might an annoying PITA problem, but I can probably figure it out if I care enough to. With Windows (or Mac) when I encounter a problem with the OS, I never know if it's fixable or something the parent company insists on forcing on users.
I think the difference in thinking is that when people think of bullies, they seem to be thinking of being a child or young adult. But I've been treated in ways I regard as bullying at every point in my life. I'm sure that I was just as prone to misinterpretation as a child as anyone else.

So I'm thinking of applying the emotional sophistication of an adult to the situation, and it seems clear to me that this is something you can figure out, because I do it once or twice a year. I'm guessing other people do too, but they probably think of those people in different terms, like "asshole."

Why would the police want to see a video if no crime has taken place? What did you expect the police to do?
And no wifi, ethernet for data on both sides. You want to saturate the pipe to get it quick. Don't let wifi signal strength be your speed factor.
It seems really impressive.

I wonder how a chess GM would do at this test (although we’d have to restrict it to other top GMs that are active at the same time as them).
An iPad Pro is more expensive than an equivalent MacBook Pro in the UK
I bought a Magic Keyboard today for my 5th gen iPad Air and I have been playing around with it and Blink terminal and I’m really impressed with it and can see the iPad being a full MacBook replacement in a few years, presumably when Logic and Final Cut Pro make their way on to the iPad (they’ve got to do it now DaVinci is on iPad surely). Anyhow, I decided to have a look to see how much it would cost to upgrade to the 12.9 iPad Pro and a Magic Keyboard. To my astonishment, a 512Gb iPad Pro is now £1599 and an accompanying Magic Keyboard is £379. That means a full setup is going to set you back £1978. In comparison, a 13” 512Gb MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM is £1549. I understand that the iPad has a better screen and camera but I was still a bit taken aback that it was both £50 more expensive outright or £429 more expensive when you add a Magic Keyboard. Does anyone else think this is a little crazy?
Yes. I use them as 2.0 and don't have a subwoofer.
"Finally, a primitive (call-in-continuation) is provided that allows calling a procedure in a given continuation instead of just delivering values to it."

can anyone add some language about what this is? I read this and the section on it, and remain deeply confused
> target counties/municipalities that overwhelmingly voted for a different candidate

In this case, it's clearly only an issue a state could deal with.

> consistently subvert the will of the people by preempting local governments and municipalities

Do you have some examples?
There's no particular distro preference. If you can install Steam on it, Proton is also likely to work. Steam's SteamOS is Arch based (btw), used to be Debian based. Steam games used to target Ubuntu, I can't find the sources for this, but I remember seeing it as a target. LTS versions usually.

I personally had good experience with either Mint Cinnamon, Debian (with KDE), Fedora and Manjaro, so it's pick your poison, really. For support reasons, I suggest a popular distro.
Many of the same US states that are currently eagerly restricting abortion rights, and are even casting covetous eyes towards birth control, had loads of forced sterilizations in previous decades.

As one of our marching calls goes, “Not the church, and not the state, will tell us how to procreate!”
Synthesized replacements (starting from plant stocks or whatever) will probably be cheaper at some point. Like some point in the next several decades, not in the far flung future.
Why don't we say shutting down nuclear, banning fracking, and increasing reliance on Russian gas were all terrible decisions in hindsight.
Way more. Land Cruisers can last 40+ easily. Do a craigslist search and you’ll find them in fully working condition.

I don’t think the so-called “safety features” developed in the next 20 years are as valuable as the others predict. We’re already very safe in cars, especially massive modern ones like the cruiser. If you’re driving fast/reckless enough to get killed in one today more safety features aren’t what you need.
I see ‘secure’ laptops at F500 companies now that have search ads in the start menu.

How did IT not push back against MS here?

Huge security issue.
I too have seen eye doctors that extrapolate incorrect conclusions from anecdotes. I'd consider looking for a different eye doctor.

Reducing focus in peripheral vision may help slow the progression of myopia (nothing can reverse it), so the advice might be ironically helpful even though it's based on complete misunderstanding of how the eye works. Again, it has nothing to do with muscle use nor the action of your lens changing focus.
This website gives strong Russian propaganda vibes. Apparently it is owned by the Russian state. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia_Beyond

Given all that's going on, I found it jarring that it uses the Russian spellings of Kharkiv and Kyiv. I did find the content a little interesting. The other articles on that site seem rather strange, like they exist purely to give westerners more favorable views of the Russian state.
React only, unfortunately.

The title should really be "React Component library..."
Blocking domestic and international commerce, and more importantly access for emergency services, goes a little beyond just "protesting" as most people see it,

Blocking emergency services is a very, very weird thing. Loads of protests do so. Parades do so.

That said, the problem isn't "was it a protest or not", the problem is judicial oversight was suspended, by employing what used to be called The War Measures Act.

Yes, only some of the powers were used. Yet those powers were used to bypass all legal and constitutional protections, and snoop into bank accounts, and freeze bank accounts, again... all without judicial oversight.

None of these people had been charged. To this day, most of those who had their bank accounts snooped in, and frozen (and later thawed), were never charged with a crime.

This is not possible in Canada, legally, without using one of the most powerful laws at our disposal. And regardless of the protest length, or type, it wasn't an emergency.

Blockades at the borders, and in Alberta were cleared without issue, before the act was declared.

Lastly, compared to protests in some other democratic countries? It was nothing. Meaningless. Tiny. Trivial.

But again, most importantly -- agree or not, like or not, even if you hated those truckers, having the government declare an emergency, for something that was not? Then having that government use those powers to bypass the judicial branch?

Insane. Wrong. Horrifying.

Such laws should absolutely not be used to punish your political rivals!
His friend, who just won the lottery, told him that he shouldn’t work that hard, instead he should just win the lottery, like him.
The counterpoint is that Git's enables multiple workflows, especially branching and merging, rather than just trunk-based development. Not to say you can't do the latter in Git, but people might struggle to adapt.

I think trunk-based, warts and all, is probably the best method for a team that isn't extremely async. Which, I think, makes it useful for a large number of projects.
I really enjoyed listening to this podcast, and I'm honestly surprised at how low the per episode engagement is. There's no shortage of podcasts focusing on the economic aspect of running a business, or the technical aspect of building the frontend/backend, but there are very few that go into the details of deployment, monitoring, etc. I thought your podcast tapped into a really interesting niche, and I posted a link to it in a previous hn comment [1].

At the moment they have squidgy things in the cab that need the stops anyway; unlikly to be the case in 2030 admittedly.
That's an odd take on the butter scenario. The obvious answer to your dad's question is "because although churning your own butter is not necessary, it can make a fresher and more interesting-tasting product than mass produced butter you buy at a store". When I look for restaurants that churn their own butter, I'm not looking to show off my status as someone who can afford unnecessary labor, I am actually "just doing things"; I am just looking for interesting and tasty food with interesting and tasty butter, I'm not trying to cultivate an image of myself as a foodie or rich person or avoiding being mistaken for a day-laborer.

I don't know why you've re-framed it into a status signal. Did you really value churning your own butter as a pure status signal and not for the benefits of artisinal butter?

Take it to direct messages or a phone call since the two of you seem to know eachother. HN is not the place for this personal conversation.
Also, pumped storage tends to be smaller, in that it’s meant to provide a certain level of discharge for hours or days. So the reservoirs can be a lot smaller.
This is all rather tasteful. Making a fuss would be registering a domain name and making a whole freaking website just for the bug.

"EUI is dual-licensed under Elastic License 2.0 and Server Side Public License, v 1" - so yes, it appears this is not usable for anything serious at all.
It does; just not out of the box. They only include drivers for their hardware; You have to compile your own kexts. The EULA, however, does “prevent” you from doing such a thing, but unless you’re selling “Hackintoshes”, Apple isn’t going to care.
interesting that this release DIDNT get any HN traction..
It is impressive for very popular software to find bugs.

But even if it wasnt, its still a blog post. The entire point is to talk about what you have been doing. Personally, My blog is super inane.
You could also voluntarily share the device location with Apple and friends as part of reporting it stolen. I don’t really care if Apple knows where my stolen phone is after it’s stolen.
Congressional mandates forcing NASA to use Space Shuttle components for the SLS that are de facto non-competitive, single-source requirements assuring contracts to existing Shuttle suppliers is contributing significantly to the costs.

For example, the NASA contract to Aerojet Rocketdyne to manufacture RS-25 engines is costing $146 million per engine. Each SLS launch will toss four of these engines in the ocean for a total cost $580 million. And that's just the engines of the core stage. For the cost of a single engine, they could have instead purchased an entire Falcon Heavy launch, which has two-thirds of the SLS lift capacity (and has to obey the same laws of physics as SLS).

SLS is the price NASA had to pay to get Congress off its back.
Both AMD and Intel have open source drivers upstreamed into the Linux kernel (and are the vendor recommended ones, outside of certain enterprise use cases).

It's really only NVIDIA that's proprietary.
Microsoft did a tremendous amount of hard work to convince me to make the effort to migrate away from Windows at home and at work. They want to lease me a word processor. They want to put ads in my digital filing cabinet. They want to take 30% of my software revenue, and when they realized they couldn't have it, they said they'd settle for 12%. No dice.

There are zero Windows machines in my home or in my business right now. In fact, there are no Microsoft products. I migrate clients away from Windows when possible, and refuse to work with those who are tightly integrated with MS products. I do occasionally work a job where something has to work on Windows or with MS SQL, but I only accept if that can be done in a platform agnostic way.

I previously held onto Windows at home because despite my age I still love games. At least, I love the idea of them, if I ever get time to play.

Now, recently I had a startling realization: it's actually easier now to get many of the games I love running on Wine (with or without steam) than it is on Windows. The performance is great. (edit: I love you, Lutris, you make gaming easy.)

Even for tools where Windows is essentially mandatory (music production), the situation is such that I now would rather run old software on an old version of Windows as a dedicated DAW machine than to subject myself to new Windows.

Anyway, great job Microsoft, you converted a customer into someone who will take time out of their day to bad-mouth you on the internet.

All that could have been avoided by just not behaving like an asshole.
I wonder if ChatGPT would be good at generating various fuzz testing queries. Maybe too slow? Maybe too repetitive? Maybe too unvarying? Sorry for mentioning ChatGPT (to those who are sick of the infection).
For reference, this seems to have started with Airpods which have been (in part) assembled in Vietnam since 2020: https://redd.it/gokl90
And measured in units I've not heard of before. The toughness was "as high as 500 megapascals square root meters".
Not really. You can’t buy one at the stores - massive scarcity. And the grey market have appreciation priced in. Grey prices have dropped significantly in the past few months. The crypto bubble in watches has burst.
If the government can subsidize solar installations, can't they just as well subsidize furnace replacements? It's interesting which parts of this problem people are eager to tackle, and which parts they completely let their own side down on.

The incentives and the rhetoric are poorly aligned.
Smaller is what compression is for.
Rockets are not expensive because they use lots of fuel. Sit down and actually compute how much propellant is needed, and how much it costs. It's CHEAP, especially if you use LOX + hydrocarbons (as Falcon 9 and Heavy do).

The actual amount of energy needed to reach LEO is about the same as the amount of energy needed to send the same mass to New Zealand from the US by airliner.

The reason launch is expensive is because the launchers were thrown away. SpaceX radically reduced the cost by reusing the first stage multiple times. And there's more juice to be squeezed from that lemon, as the second stage is still being expended.
What a coincidence. I was trying to remember your site but couldn't. Searching HN didn't help either. So I made an account and posted an Ask HN.
Now a few more searches on your site to look for the post I half-
read last time.
Nice effort. Keep it up.
Think of it like a machine shop. Expensive tools work way, way better than cheap ones.

I also have a restaurant grade toaster. It costs quite a bit more than the usual toasters do. But the usual ones would always break after a year or two. The restaurant toaster makes better toast, and has worked fine for 25 years now. It was actually cheaper to get the restaurant grade one over the long haul.
Don't bother with cleaning script, they can fuck things up, and the benefit is questionable, as it's a whack-a-mole basically. Windows 11 is not a hard requirement, and I don't think it will be in the coming few years, so I went with Windows 10 LTSC. Lots of useless crap is cut from it, so no Cortana, no Store, no Edge even, and no feature updates. There are security updates however! So it's a nice, stable, useful edition, with no downsides for gaming.
I don't tend to upgrade machines all that often. My current laptop is two years old that I maxed out with 128GB RAM and oodles of storage so I won't need to consider upgrading for at least 5 more years at least.
Thanks. That's sound advice.

You bring up a good point. I did try to make the titles kind of short (none of them are > 70 characters) while always trying to include the service name and the core idea of what the service does.

But a lot of those titles were maybe optimizing for the wrong thing. For example "Podia Has Everything You Need to Sell Online Courses"[0]. It's almost like I went out of my way to make it sound like a sales pitch but my goal was to include their product's name and the core idea of what it does. It does feel like it's trying to optimize for SEO such as "sell online courses" but the content of the show has nothing to do with selling online courses, it's about chatting with one of the lead devs on how they built the platform.

An alternate title based on a topic from that episode could have been "Podia survived Black Friday without breaking a sweat". If that were in a Twitter card the meta description includes it's a Rails site and it's always nice to hear success stories on how Rails does scale. It ends up have clickable interest for the skeptics out there and also Rails developers?

Nope, you're completely wrong. Do the math. Propellant cost is a tiny fraction of the cost of a launch, even on the partially reusable Falcons.
in situations like this, I typically report bugs directly to members of the core team individually, with gory details, and explina that I tried the forum approach and it failed for me.
Lens, color and light distortion are caused by bending of lenses or bouncing of light, there have been attempts to resolve this by moving the entire screen at an angle to where the eyes would look. But such solutions are expensive and error prone, mechanics don’t last long.
Sub-week software pentest engagements at established firms are pretty rare. There's a logistical reason for that: engagements are overwhelmingly measured in person/weeks, and if you book out a consultant for two days, you fuck the schedule for the rest of that person's week. It's the same reason (or one of them) that you shouldn't bill hourly if you do your own consulting work: if a client books you for a couple hours in a day, they've fucked the rest of the day for you.

A 1 person-week engagement is pretty short. On a 1 p/w engagement, you'll have scoped back drastically what you can test; maybe one functional area of a smallish web app, or, every once in awhile, you'll get a big client that has the budget flexibility to do things like book "one week of just looking for SQLI and nothing else across all our internal web apps".

The typical CRUD app for a small tech company would tend to come in between 3-4 person weeks. Sometimes, those engagements would have their last 2 days explicitly reserved for doc in the SOW. I felt like (still feel like) that's rustproofing; clients are paying for testing, not writing. Usually there's a couple days of "discovery" at the beginning. The rest of it is just testing.

The typical order of a project with a public report (those are pretty infrequent) is that the public report is done after the the original test is accepted. That's in part because clients want to triage and remediate findings before they release a public report; you sort of can't drop a public report and the internal report at the same time. So public report writing shouldn't have much of an impact on the project delivery schedule, because it's not done at the same time.
I believe Apollo 8 was originally supposed to be a low earth orbit shakedown with the LEM. Because the LEM wasn’t ready, they decided to send them to the moon.
Peering is for your own traffic and traffic of your customers. You don't carry generally carry traffic for your peers to other peers. It doesn't make business sense; if congent and HE want to exchange traffic via your ISP, at least one of them is going to have to be a customer of your ISP.

Except Microsoft should have world-class internal teams creating fuzzer tools and applying open source tools: you would hope that Microsoft had kept ahead of the hoipolloi.
I definitely feel this way about hand tools. There’s still a few good options left for new stuff, but most of it is junk compared to tools from the 60s. Because hand tools are pretty much all metals, it’s simple to compare weight. I have a new and vintage Snap-On 3/8” drive ratchet that are of identical model numbers, new one is 30% lighter.

Never broken either ratchet, but I have broken ratcheting wrenches and many sockets. Vintage impact sockets are much less likely to crack but sometimes won’t fit in the cut-outs for lug nuts on modern wheels, due to the expectation of thinner walled sockets.

I definitely miss slamming a phone when you hang up after a bad call, not quite the same tapping end on a touchscreen.
Vatican City is not in the EU.

I seriously don't understand what point you're attempting to make here. This legislation will make it harder for people to simply launder money. Yes, you are right that it won't stop people from complicatedly laundering money but that's not the point of the legislation.
