Firmware Software Bill of Materials (2022)
Honestly the rest of the owl is drivers, not applications. The favorite sports of programmers are rewriting things from scratch and porting DOOM. Not to mention that we have virtualization concepts built in to our modern architectures anyway. If your OS is good and works on their hardware people will get software working on it.

The problem is that it won't work on their hardware without an army of people writing drivers. Even Linux has driver issues despite having huge numbers of people working on it. Arguably that's a bit self inflicted because they insist on having everything in-tree, but still.
> make the functionality [...] available [...] as a service

This isn't well defined is the problem. What they obviously mean is 'don't offer MongoDB as a service', but this could easily be interpreted far more broadly.

If you consider offering a complex, customizable piece of software (like Jira), where your customers can add custom fields and write custom queries, one could reasonably argue you're offering access to MongoDB under a different interface.

> Most experts agree the conflict in UA will pick up again in the spring. And in the event of a potential UA victory the use of tactical nuclear weapons from RU seem likely.

This is a very significant claim. Could you please provide some citations to support it?
For me this was one of the biggest pluses.
Sounds like you might be running your own culture war to me.

The article is reporting on the data and perspective in a book, one of the data points being that the clinic was set up in 1989, and this seems like it's a fairly recent development to me, particularly the treatment of children as young as three with medical interventions like drugs and hormones, which is novel even though trans people are not, such as fafalines in the Pacific, having always been a part of human civilisation in one form or another. It might also be likely that the detransitioners aren't amenable to talking. A culture war would be one where you're unable to write your own book, but it seems like you are, so perhaps you should write one.
"... the safety of children should not be a matter for our culture wars."

Unfortunately, everything attested in this article is the direct consequence of adopting philosophical tenets of the currently-victorious contender in the Kulturkampf, namely Liberalism. Save for some cataclysmic distraction (like a war total enough to drain our resources and attention to the point of bringing us back to nature, as it were), this situation will not improve unless Americans begin to challenge the liberal dogma of bodily autonomy. Of course, no one wants to do that because that would mean admitting that the will of each individual is corrupt - and that's, like, original sin, or whatevur...

I've dug holes with hand tools and I've been the IT guy getting managed by a team of different types of managers, so I can say in defense of those municipal workers that I couldn't dig a hole for 8 hours straight - it's more of a relay marathon than a sprint. But yes, I've been on calls with managers that basically boil down to, "which peon can we find to do this work?", to which I'd say, "you're talking to him". Didn't stop me from getting laid off though.
Electric vehicles could match gasoline cars on price this year
Industries like airlines and railroad have the problem where you can't cut the corners that can be tastefully and carefully cut because once upon a time someone went overboard, hands were wrung, and a law or rule was made. So then when you're squeezed you cut some corner no sane person would cut with predictable results.

It wouldn't surprise me to hear that the railroad had implemented the XKCD 28hr day or something dumb like that because that was their only way to squeeze more man hours out of the month without violating the law or violating their union contracts.

Edit: not to say the 28hr day is dumb
Quant is a private company with NDA's limiting the freedom of communication they have with their partners. But LACCHAIN (https://www.lacchain.net/home?lang=en) uses Overledger nodes (see the dashboard at https://dashboard.lacchain.net) Oracle uses the Overledger product as part of their Oracle Blockchain proposition which is offered via Oracle Cloud. The use of their token is not a means to an end, it's only used for licensing of use of their software. Clients do not know nor care that it's a ERC-20 token, they pay their licenses in FIAT.

I don't get it. Do you have a something against British people?
You can already kill the boilerplate with code generation and metaprogramming. Once you have done that, you figure out why that is not always a good idea and how to best deal with the exceptions that your particular use case brings to the table.
You're not wrong to be concerned, just likely off on the probabilities by orders of magnitude.

1. Tactical nukes aren't a likely step for Russia if Ukraine takes back their territory - even if they go for Crimea. Russia knows that any use of nuclear weapons is crossing a line, and that the regime is done if they do so.

2. There isn't a reason for spying on these facilities if the goal is to analyze the US' ability to launch a nuclear strike. That strike would come from a submarine sitting on the ocean floor off the coast near Moscow. And there's no real countermeasures for those missiles.

As far as I can tell, it's programmers and adjacent. I am currently hiring for an infrastructure role (sr. network engineer/architect) and it has been miserable, even for remote positions. Certainly don't see an influx of available talent happening in the infrastructure world.

My guess is that the uncertainty has little to do with gravity, although there is gravitational variation in both the Moon and Earth depending on what part you are close to but I don't think that comes into play here. The error is likely more to do with the observational data. Try pinpointing the exact distance and trajectory of a 1m rock using ground based telescopes. Hard enough but remember there is also atmospheric distortion and you only get limited time on the scope.
Ask HN: Someone copied my code but it is complicated. What do I do?
Someone copied some of my open-source code and submitted a pull request (without attribution) to another, much more popular repository, that is also open-source but with a more permissive license (GPLv3 vs BSD).

Although imitation is the highest form of flattery, I was still a bit amiss. However, I feel reluctant to pursue the matter. You see, when I was a but a budding software engineer, I also tried to contribute to the repository in question. However, they rejected my contribution outright, and with good reason. My pull request "fixed" (read: changed in backwards compatibility breaking ways) multiple issues, not just the one I was claiming to address.

I then did what any good developer would do and created my own repository with black jack and hookers that served as a replacement for that part of the Ms Popular repository that I thought (and still think) was deeply flawed. Crucially for this story, my original implementation copied several pieces of Ms Popular (as it was basically a fork of a submodule), but since I didn't know any better, I did not retain the license nor did I indicate what code blocks were copied (I did fix the attribution at a later date though). Now, 10 years have passed. There have been about one and a half rewrites, so none of the original code remains. And after a lot of consist effort, my little project now does this one aspect of Ms Popular quite a bit better, and as a result it has gained some traction (recently passed 100k downloads from PyPI and closing in on 500 stars on github).

Now another budding developer comes along and makes a pull-request to Ms Popular that contains a substantial amount of lines (including comments) from my code. The pull request explicitly addresses a long-standing issue that I raised years ago, and where I linked my implementation. From following the mailing list of Ms Popular, I also know that the developer is a student that as part of his course work wants to contribute to an open source repository.

What would you do? Given the history of my repository, I feel reluctant to pursue the matter. However, there also is undoubtedly an important learning opportunity for the student here. How do I indicate in the nicest possible way that there may be an attribution/licensing issue here that I don't intend to pursue in any way but that nevertheless probably warrants fixing?
I don’t buy the idea that Russia would conscript dual US-Russian citizens for one big reason: trust. For the same reason the US would avoid conscripting Russians.

Also, we’ve been told on multiple occasions that Russia would declare martial law yet the borders are still open for military aged males.
> Just pick some small attribute that you expect to observe.

The expected "attribute" is correct data being returned.

> Hell, you can likely not even bother testing the so-called "happy path" because, really, who cares what happens during success?

wat?

> If it's a REST endpoint that aggregates data from multiple external services, you probably want to see a "retry after" response sent to the client if any of those external services are temporarily unavailable. So write a test that asserts that, then write code that does it.

So again you want me to write a meaningless test that will be duplicated anyway during the actual proper test. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34765360

> However, in reality most people simply don't have the wherewithal to plan for things like being able to test unavailable remote services if they don't have a test case in front of them forcing them

This is a weird statement that is definitely not backed up by reality.

> there is something to be said about the TDD approach as a general rule, deviating only after you fully understand the tradeoffs.

The problem is, everyone advocates writing multiple useless tests, including TDD proponents. You can't learn "tradeoffs" until you look past the dogma. Once you've looked past the dogma these "tradeoffs" most of them are not tradeoffs, but trivial things that you would do anyway.

Social manipulation works far better on children and they figured that out some time ago.

I heard my girlfriend's then 10 year old son complaining 5 years ago now about fortnite players being garbage because they had no skins and were called 'noskins'.

I didn't play it so I asked if they gave stat increases or anything and he said no, just cosmetic. I asked what a skin had to do with playing ability and was told 'Tch, you just don't get it' -replete with eyeroll.

A few months ago heard the same thing from a friend's kid (~same age) who'd just gotten his first xbox. 'Eww noskins', with the added cherry of him complaining about using a controller as it was so much harder than using a phone screen.

YouTube was the cause of it back 5 years ago, idk about now, but the companies get their messages in no matter what.

It all works far too often and worries me about where we are headed.

I often wonder how I'd have turned out if watching GI Joe and Transformers as a kid had beaten me upside the head with more than 'dont steal, drugs bad, police good, buy toys' messages of the 80s.

But Hollywood can and does still show any other country without a large film-going public as negatively as they wish (with crude, nuance-less, historically oblivious, and borderline or sometimes overtly racist portrayals of most of the world, as bad guys or uncivilized savages to be put into place, or alternatively, rescued, by the good old american forces).

As for the US itself, the mass public almost never watches films from other countries, so no worries about being offended by any other culture's point of view of it (that's the country who considered non automatically laughable a public suggestion to change the name of "french fries" when France criticized their foreign policy).

There are 6 professors in the jury and the their compensation is exactly 100 euro per decision.

RU has said that they will use nuclear weapons if their territory is threatened and UA and RU have territorial disputes.

Personally I don't see a situation in which UA is able to take Crimea and RU doesn't launch a tactical nuke. Putin isn't going to allow Crimea to be taken, and I honestly suspect he'd rather risk his life than live with the shame of such a defeat.

But this assumes that UA would try to retake Crimea and that's something that will only happen if UA manages to push back RU. And while Zelensky has suggested he wishes to liberate Crimea, whether he will or not probably depends on US support. So there are at least a few conditionals here, but I personally don't think Putin launching a nuke is that unlikely in the event of an embarrassing defeat where contested territory is taken from them.

Sure, changing the schema is easier in NoSQL. But to do it properly, you still need to really understand how the data is being queried and then change the schema in a controlled "migration". For most people these tasks will be a pain. But NoSQL can really shine in terms of $/query if data is being correctly looked after. It will save you from needing 16 cores in multiple clusters and very expensive bills

Fair point that it may explode anyway.
Hardware is the easy part. The tricky part is acquiring the immense troves of information that's required. This is the moment that the surveillance capitalists have been waiting for.

I see some hope though. In-person communication becomes more valuable again. Established media with editorial review and reporters on the scene becomes valuable again. Software freedom gets a boost with more intelligent reverse engineering/translation.

Sites like YouTube also won't sit idly by while untold millions of AI generated garbage videos are uploaded and not viewed.

Our helium supplies mainly come from oil drilling, which makes them a non-renewable resource. Once it is lost to the atmosphere it basically disperses into space. The problem here is that the US government built up a huge reserve of helium in the 20th century and then began selling it off at below-replacement prices, leading to vast amounts of the stuff being wasted. Meanwhile the oil and gas industry stopped capturing helium and let huge amounts of it go to waste. We got cheap helium balloons at our parties in exchange for major losses that will be difficult to make up (particularly as we wind down the fossil fuel industry in this century.)

Ask HN: Emails from new TLDs automatically marked as spam?
Hi guys,

We're using one of the new TLDs at work and some 10-to-20% percent of clients, especially new ones, don't receive our emails because they go directly into the spam folder. Not a serious issue, because we can usually tell when something like this happened, as people don't get back to us at all or there's a disconnect in the conversation.

I know others have complained about similar issues in the past [0] and some are actively looking to mass-reject all emails from these domains [1] or at least treat them differently [2].

How much of a problem is this for you? Did you end up changing your domain name because of this?

I'd rather not mention the TLD here, but it's not one of those already notorious for spam and malware [3], more like ".hosting" and we've never engaged in any sort of email campaign, not even for completely legitimate purposes like newsletters.

In 1950, no one would make the comment I responded to, true. In 2022, it is super rare for a man to stay as stay at home father. Trying to pretend that dads are primary caregivers as often as women is just dishonest. And that goes for lower income brackets especially. Especially after pandemic when female dominated jobs got killed in higher numbers and especially since it was overwhelmingly women who started to spend way more time on childcare.

> not to mention folks who are rejecting the gendered identity all together.

And those folks are literally accused of being groomers by large parts of population just for existing and being visible. There is literal campaign of fearmongering going on against them. Threats of violence against these people are a thing now too. There are attempts to make gender non-comforming clothing in the presence of children into illegal acts.

>A few people want that kind of subjugation but broadly it just wouldn’t happen again, the vast majority of men and women wouldn’t stand for it.

Quite a lot of them would happily stand for "subjugation" I see nostalgia for it regularly. Seriously, abortion rights are being reversed and those were supposed to be untouchable too. Just teaching about ugly parts of history is in the process of being outlawed as boogeyman CRT.

And Wisconsin did not even managed to make underage marriages illegal, because it is constitutional right of adult men to marry girls under 16.

The company that mints BUSD Paxos actually is the most regulated crypto company in the US. They are a trust and have proof of reserves which is audited by a big 4 accounting firm every month.

My very amateur guess is that Paxos sees stability issues with Binance and wants to cut ties, or they are getting too much regulatory scrutiny to make it worth it and are dropping them like a bad habit.
