Something isn't security theater because you don't personally have the same threat model or exposure. Attackers can easily avoid traditional antivirus software so people with more aggressive security postures have switched to investigating or blocking any unknown executable following pretty standard advice in the field that it's not sustainable to try to enumerate all of the bad things in the world.

Someone running random JavaScript out of a downloaded ZIP file matches the signature of a lot of attacks, and almost no legitimate activity: that's a super common technique to use something built-in like JScript rather than their own binary which might be blocked, and even web developers never do that intentionally since their code is running in a browser or something else like Node.

> Sure, a breach will cost a company but if you only have access to (mostly worthless) company "secrets" and no customer data then you really need to consider the likelyhood of having your data/credentials stolen, the cost that would have as well as the cost of the proposed security measures to your daily operation.

Some other costs to think about:

1. If you have any sort of cloud credential on your system, how quickly can you spend money before someone revokes it?

2. Can your system be used to attack any internal infrastructure? Deploy something in the cloud for further attacks?

3. Can your system be used to phish other people at your company by, say, sending realistic messages? What about customers?

Now, it's true that you have to consider the impact on daily work but in this case it's pretty low unless your job actually is to run random downloads and at any organization over a certain size the majority of times that alert trips it's probably going to be something where the cost of the malware which people routinely try to run would be non-trivial, too, even if you just measured it in the time it takes to investigate and cleanup.
Unless you're speaking about ChromeOS and Android, which take the Linux kernel as implementation detail, and replace the GNU userspace with Web and Java based technologies, I pretty much doubt it, given the 2% market share of Linux Desktop usage across the globe.
The medium is the message dudes. At this point in history, what will qualify a true counterculture is NOT BEING ONLINE. Whatever the true counterculture will be, it won’t be subject to the Internet and its all-seeing eye. It won’t be made out of memes and flame wars. No matter what the political bent, we’re all very much a captive audience online. “Master’s house/master’s tools” and all that.
I think we might still consider this counterculture as long as its norms are not mainstream culture. And I think it's fair to say the dominant culture of many cultural institutions in the US currently has a distinct leftward lean - Hollywood, news, education, research, social media, advertising, other large swathes of industry. (Which again, I'm not saying is a bad thing)

Also, Trump represented many things to many people, as opposed to just this emerging alt-right counterculture idea cloud. And by the numbers, most voters soundly rejected him in 2020.
I've had pretty good success with Twitter. I am careful to limit my followers to avoid cluttering up my feed with stuff I don't want to see.

I mostly follow the math teacher/early education crowd and regularly get inspired with fun math games and other activities to do with my kids. Plus I've gotten a lot of neat books from the library after seeing someone mention them on Twitter.

So for me it's been a good signal-to-noise ratio, unlike e.g. Reddit where I can definitely relate to that elusive value-chasing you describe. Even on HN, the amount of relevant stuff I learn is low compared to the sheer amount of time I've spent here over the years.
> I've just started a new job for an enterprise company. It is proving insanely hard getting in contact with folk. Myself having to introduce myself every-time. Trying to find someone to give me basic mentoring, even trying to understand the hierarchy.

It's interesting. I started a new job in a cube farm a few years ago after a decade of WFH and that describes my exact experience with that transition. I suspect it's all about corporate and workplace culture, not physical working arrangements.

All the examples of bad interactions are from Cruise, not Waymo.

So maybe restrict Cruise? Or allow expansion only for companies that show excellency? In my opinion that would be a shame to prevent good implementations from being used because of the existence of bad implementations from competitors.
This is such a superficial understanding of "support". They make their logo rainbow for a month. None of the groups you mentioned support police abolition, prison abolition, for instance. Police budgets still go up. Homeless encampments still get bulldozed. Black people are still killed by police.

Capitalists have co-opted the least disruptive demands of advocates in an attempt to draw attention away from the actual point. They think if they focus on saying words and not doing deeds, people will move on and forget.

Why does it matter? A-x would never need to enter Ukrainian airspace anyway.
Why does this (and quite a few other articles here) always mention 'rust' in the headline? Are there other split-tunnel solutions that are not written in rust? Is this one better feature-wise or does rust somehow make it better, that people would choose this instead of <some other> software? If it's the only software that does this, why is rust important then, if there are no non-rust alternatives?

There have been literal "text editor written in rust" articles here, and instead of mentioning why I should use the text editor (why is it better than vi, emacs, notepad++,...), the only feature is "written in rust"... why?
I'm pro-web as in a hyperlinked web of hypertext. I am not pro-web as application delivery platform with unbounded complexity which is also available to sites that should be hypertext but use that complexity to restrict user freedoms. Calling a document-centric HTML dead-end because it doesn't suite your application (hah, get it?) is ridiculous.
I assume the capsule was in some large equipment in a chamber, and the chamber wasn't closed properly, and it rattled its way out, bumped off the truck onto the road, and was kicked to the side either by that truck or some other vehicle.
I agree. It would have been better if a directly elected body could propose laws. Whether you consider the EU "not very democratic" is kinda subjective, but there are certainly strong arguments that it's not as democratic as it should be.

But "if [the not directly elected parts of the EU] want to do something they will and there’s nothing that can be done about it" remains incorrect.
About 10 years ago I quit a software architect job to start a startup (it failed). Not FAANG, but safe and well-renumerated for my area. If I could go back in time, I'd quit again without thinking. It was a rut.

However, this isn't universal advice. There are people who don't want/like risk. They want a safe and steady job that gives them status, preferably without too much stress and a good salary. In exchange they agree to play corporate office games and doing less exciting work. And that's ok.

The key is (a) figuring out what you want and what kind of person you are, (b) accepting that life is a probabilistic endeavor and you can't take risk out of it. Why do you want to go into ML? Are you hacking something in your spare time? Is it because it seems cool and trendy? Can you go into an ML role at your current workplace?
The extent to which these kinds of lifestyles are astroturfed is always interesting. Not claiming it is necessarily the case, just that it does happen from time to time. Thomas Frank’s “The Conquest of Cool” is a good reference here.

Thank God a massive amount of workers left the hospitality industry during the pandemic, never to return to that line of work. And they are much better off for it, because they would never have any good return for their work and effort in that industry. They got the shake up they needed to move sectors, and realized that any other sector will reward them better.
America has had a “culture of firearms” for pretty much its entire history, but mass shootings are a relatively recent phenomenon. Indeed, that culture has faded as urbanization has taken hold: the percentage of households with guns is significantly smaller today than even the 1990s, much less the 1960s.

The “culture of firearms” isn’t what changed. It was all the other cultural and technological changes: destruction of the American family, internet that allows dangerous subcultures to communicate, media that publicizes mass shooters, etc.

By then it already had 25m DAU and next year its revenue was 1b already. So yes it's content agnostic, but it started and rapidly grew as a text based aggregator with a strong recommendation system. From what I heard, TikTok's recommendation system is based on that and that was used to explain its ballistic growth.

Exactly. I don't remember what I had for breakfast, much less some brain fart I had 6 months ago.

As a kid, I somehow got the impression that Microsoft had a coding standard for 1:1 comments to code. So I thought I'd give it a try. (I had a lot of free time.)

For the 1.x to 2.x version bump of my text editor, I meticulously went thru and commented everything. (I also switched to 1 statement per line guideline.)

The outcome was awesome. By requiring a comment, any comment, for every statement, it evolved into a form of story telling. I wasn't just explaining obvious stuff. It helped tremendously with future maintenance.

Alas, I've never repeated that experience. I'm not entirely sure why.

It's a bit like Knuth style literate programming or TDD. Some kind of Platonic ideal. An esthetic ideal to strive for, but not very practical.

Fun fact: SEO spam and AI-driven search seems to have made "Press A" a completely un-googleable term at this point. Seems to correct me to Wordpress no matter what I do, even using quotes, and then ignores A as a glue word.

Successor Ideology in the Arts
Sigh! --I've said it before and I'll say it again: I know choice is great and all that but, fer feck's sake, why can't the "Linux world" [for want of a better phrase] get their heads round the fact that the problem with Linux is not a lack of alternate file managers, preference panels, installer screen animations or window dressing for the software store.... but the fact that the software store itself is glaringly empty.

I'm not a Linux hater. I use it on all my servers, my media centre and one of my desktops. I'd love to use it as my daily driver,as I loathe Apple and Microsoft. But, when I need to get work done, I use OSX because the applications I need don't exist on Linux and their Linux equivalents are piss-poor.

I imagine many people who use Windows are in the same boat.

As regards the operating system [in my case OSX], I very occasionally open System Preferences to adjust a system setting. And I use the Finder to move the odd file around. But for my actual day to day work, I hardly rub up against the OS at all. It's just the utility that runs in the background and lets me access other "stuff" I need to work with in the applications I actually use.

Given the number of Linux variants that exist, there must be hundreds of talented Linux programmers out there. Why [seemingly] do none of them turn these talents to coming up with something that actually serves a purpose and fills an application gap --rather than endlessly re-inventing the same basic utility applications as already exist in the eleventy billion other Linux distros already out there?

Personally I think the word “counterculture” should be retired, as we no longer live in monocultural societies. We no longer gather round any shared fireplace. For a counterculture to meaningfully exist, it has to be somehow discordant with a dominant narrative - but there is no dominant narrative any more. The west is not ruled by the left or the right or the church or the state. We are all fragmenting off into echo chambers and bubbles of culture, where we each take a slightly different slice of the cake. If anything, we are all the counterculture, and so the term’s meaning evaporates.
It may have come accross as I was belittling the seriousness or danger that the capsule poses to those who come into contact with it. That was not my intention.

The capsule is incredibly dangerous to anyones health.

My point was simply that, from my vantage point, the media coverage and attention that this incident has received is out of proportion to the likely impact that it will have (i.e the danger it poses to people on the world stage, or even on the national stage in Australia).

As an example, and again only from my vantage point, the situation with the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station received less direct news coverage focusing on the dangers it would have posed to the whole European continent than it seems this single capsule is receiving.

Again, not saying the capsule is not a danger to people. Just agreeing that the attention is out of proportions.
People’s contempt rose because the media painted these platforms to be “evil”.

Ukraine is proving this. The Ukrainian airforce is slowly being attrited through hypersonic BVR (beyond visual range) R37 and R77 missiles launched by Migs that aren't even flying over Ukraine. They're firing those missiles from the safety or Russia, 100km away from the border. And because they're hypersonic reaction times are short (they have a top speed of about Mach 5).
Those other people could still install Netflix on their computer, which would probably even perform better and could even support things like IR remotes without the browser adding even more attack surface just because some people have a use for it.
All of the things I mentioned are being implemented.

More than likely $20/kWh batteries will make them obsolete before they're fully rolled out, but landfill and wastewater gas collection is necessary, as is green ammonia.
Exploring and providing new and different approaches is worthwhile, and I doubt the tradeoffs of each technology is identical.

This is a machine which is dedicated to postgres. For the particular workload (heavy update) and filesystem (ZFS), it appears from experimentation that optimal performance is achieved by dedicating most of the RAM to postgres' shared buffers, and not really relying on the filesystem cache at all. (As an aside, that might be unusual, the "standard" advice seems to be to set shared_buffers to a smaller value and to rely on the OS cache.)

So, I have about 95% of the RAM assigned to postgres shared buffers. Without hugepages enabled, this was fine when the database started up, but as (presumably) the buffer cache became fragmented over time, the size of the page tables grew to a point where the machine ran out of RAM. I do have vm.overcommit_memory = 2 (never overcommit), but even so the OOM killer was still invoked because, well, the machine had no RAM left. I can't remember exactly how big the pagetables had gotten in this situation, but I think it was a few tens of GBs.

I'm actually using 1GB hugepages, but in all honesty I'm not sure how Linux deals with them or how postgres claims them. From /proc/meminfo it looks like the page table is quite small, with the "Hugetlb" and "DirectMap1G" numbers both around 1TB.

All jets are designed with stealthy constraints.

But the kind of all aspect high quality stealth of the F-35 only matters when you're surrounded by advanced radar capabilities.

That's high power radar and high coverage to capture scatter at different angles..along with the bandwidth (processing) needed to detect coincident events.

Most of the time you want to destroy those assets and you have cheaper jets like the F-16/18 respond to every ping with an anti radiation missile.
I had a teacher during my undergrad who promised us he'd pretty much only use Contiki for a very hands-on IoT course. I was really excited so I fiddled around with it during holiday break in anticipation, going a bit beyond the initial tutorials.

During the entirety of the class however, we ended up just installing the thing and never doing a single example. Only one class had us programming and that was for a surprise Arduino assignment.

To this day though, I wonder how things could've been had he followed on with Contiki. It's nice to see it here on the front page after all that time.
I gave a more detailed response on the post by 'menaerus, but to answer your question on config directly, you first need to enable the appropriate number of hugepages with a kernel boot parameter, e.g.

hugepagesz=1G hugepages=940

and then add these config lines to postgresql.conf:

huge_pages = on
huge_page_size = 1GB
> Ukraine has repelled Russia very effectively with just manpads, ATGMs and NATO intelligence.

Ukraine has effectively repelled Russia because it's the second biggest military in Europe after Russia, and second strongest air defence in Europe after Russia.

This is the sole biggest factor without saying which, everything else is meaningless.
> Just like horses replaced cars, for lots of reasons

Other way round, right?

Humans (labor) are different from horses (capital) because 1. they actively participate in work, ie, they don't just literally do what you tell them 2. they actually signed up to work, whereas horses don't care. And 3. if you give them money, they'll also become your customers. Though, I don't know if that's a major factor for employers, even if there is that Henry Ford anecdote.

ATMs are a good example here because there are more bank tellers now than before ATMs were invented. (see Jevons' paradox)
