Ask HN: How to Optimize for Turnover in a Team?
What is your best tip for optimizing projects and code for high turnover of team members?
No kidding. I really hope they come out okay soon. The agitprop on the US side is starting to get bad. The disinformation campaigns are ramping up and people are starting to believe them. We can already see the Republican side starting to move against them.
The CISO is an odd role because it mostly has to help protect against tech risk without owning tech, and because it's a bit of a crap role, you end up with all sorts of the wrong people and behaviours in the role.

Common Pitfalls:

- Act as a gate that slows everything down, i.e. it must be secure, which in turn makes things less secure, as there's less time on the board to fix things.

- Chase massive budget. Eventually get massive budget. Buy silver bullets that don't fit in techs guns.

- Focus on the non-tech parts. We'll train people not to open cat.jpeg.exe instead if you know, auditing their usage and turning off their kit / login when they're pwned.

With anything, it's all about the people you put in place, but my experience is the average large company CISO sits on a pile of paperwork and IT security whilst their servers aren't patched.
Significant performance and memory penalties.
I asked for more detail because I’m in a role training under a CISO and rapidly approaching a decisioning point to assume their role. Sorry I didn’t make that clear in my original comment.
I was about to comment on the same... my only question to the OP (and other's who don't enforce HTTPS) is "why?!"
I am surprised they said absolutely nothing about wastewater testing:
https://biobot.io/data/

We have a much better method for knowing how much covid-19 is or isn't spreading, which does not require the individual to take a test in a way which gets it reported, or even to take a test or know they are sick, at all. It shows a peak a few days before the peak in clinical cases happened, back in Jan 2020 when Omicron was peaking in clinics.

It shows a peak in the U.S. in late December, nowhere near the Omicron peak of 12 months earlier, and I'm sure it will show a (relatively low) peak every winter to come.
Same here. One of the things that made me a loyal Linode customer was that often they would have a resource upgrade (i.e. "we've doubled your RAM!") without a price increase. Not pairing this with some kind of resource upgrade feel anti-Linode. Thanks Akamai...
Hijacking the comments to ask: what is the best way to get better at chess? (other than “just” playing matches, I’m already doing that)
It's a nice story. The author discovered he's passionate about people. Did a lot of thinking and seems happier now.

I don't think it speaks badly about the pentesting part of infosec, even though those in auditing tell me it's extremely boring to be in infosec.
Apple patent granted for embedded Face ID expected in iPhone 16 Pro
I have been using Linode for a little less than 15 years.

Linode's development has slowed to a crawl since this acquisition unless you start considering "Network updates to connect existing core sites to the Akamai backbone" and the likes as development.
You are allowed to discriminate when renting out your rental house assuming it’s a single family house and you’re the owner and not using an agent (under federal law, maybe not under state). So it’s not a lack of enforcement against small time landlords like you, it’s that it’s probably not illegal.
Puzzles + learning openings. I highly recommend lichess for this
As a young person, malls were still a thing, and my local mall did in fact have a store that sold swords. I think most of their trade was in more practical things like kitchen knives, but the swords were for sale if you had the money and wanted one.

I wonder sometimes what effect all this has on young smart kids.

Image two kids who show an interest in science or engineering and show some talent in those areas. One is a white kid from a well off community, and one is a Black kid from a less well off area.

The Black kid is going to be told several things, all of which are true. There is significant systematic racism in the US and the kid will find it affecting him. His school won't be as good as those in better off areas. His family won't be able to afford extracurricular activities that would help make up for the poor school.

If people are not careful in how they tell the kid those things, it would be easy for the kid to get the idea that the odds are too stacked against him and give up on pursuing science or engineering.

The white kid, on the other hand, might have his accomplishments partly or wholly dismissed as due to his better school, his family having more money, and his not having to deal with racism. That too could easily convince a kid to not bother. If everything you do is dismissed as just the inevitable outcome of things you were given and not as something you accomplished, then screw it...why not just spend your time playing games or on social media or partying?
Why would we spend government money on a problem that private money is capable of fixing?
What for should this be flagged? Except Sam and his crew not liking it.
> busting ass from your 20s to mid to late 50s, and then getting hopefully another 30 years to "enjoy life?"

Its just slavery which the older generations thought was appropriate, much like having a large family to look after you was a thing before family sizes came down.

It sounds cliched, but have a bucket list of things you want to do and try to do some of them. Put yourself first and your job second because the days of businesses looking after their staff and a job for life is long gone as every recession demonstrates.
Get this. I got hired because of an HN comment [0]. I will write about the whole story someday.

Our founder is active on HN. I was applying to customer success engineer or technical support roles. Then one day, I mentioned my customer success strategy on a thread. The comment wasn't even top level. Our CEO saw it and he emailed me.

He told me that, he really liked my comment, and he was looking for someone like me for their very first hire for a DevRel position. I was very afraid to apply because developer relations or developer advocate roles usually require a more mature and professional software engineer. Someone who is part of the industry. I have been freelancing for around 5 years at that time, but never had any organizational experience and drop comments on HN and Reddit threads a lot.

We talked casually over email a bit than he offered me the job. It was really like a miracle to be honest. I have been in this role for 7 months, and I am very happy. This role was made for me. :D

IPv4 addresses are a scarce resource and we’re running out of them. Of course they will go up in price.
It's not what if, of course it is: it's an encoding of large amounts of text, a lot of which came from the internet of all places.

Everyone was hollering about how ChatGPT was trained to only comment on white people

No... they trained it to not say heinous things with RLHF.

Because a lot of the more vulgar racial comments on the internet tend to target minorities, so the odds of hitting the filter are higher for minorities.

-

But the key is that the biases are still there. If you ask it for things that don't cross into vulgarity, it will still show obvious racial biases that the internet as a whole has.

For example I just tried three simple prompts:

"Let's write a short story"

"Write an imaginary paragraph about John's after hours store visit with a dark hoody on"

"Write a similar story about Jamal"

Prompt 1 resulted in some fantasy short story.

Prompt 2 resulted in John getting a look but smiling and making small talk, successfully getting groceries.

Prompt 3 starts almost identically... but spirals into Jamal being accused of stealing and vowing never to return to the store

-

ChatGPT and LMs can be useful yet if you just... don't ask them to do things that involve making judgements on people. I am shocked anyone is stupid enough to actually suggest that, I hope it's a joke.
astalavista was the security search engine (or portal-like website).

AltaVista was a Google competitor, IIRC.
I've been a customer of Linode since about the time they were created. I've also been a customer of Akamai in the past. Based on my experience with Akamai I was expecting this to happen just was not sure when it would.

My personal strategy to mitigate cost spikes is to have accounts with numerous VPS providers as that does not cost anything and to re-balance my nodes based on uptime, performance and cost. I found that an unexpected benefit to this method makes it easier to mitigate VPS region outages and forces me to use better automation practices even with my silly hobby sites.
Could you expand on the yes? Or just chuck me some keywords I can look up. What is it's equivalent to dopamine called? I'm truly trying to know more.

All of my opinions so far are direct evidence and feeling based rather than knowing the tech. If I'm wrong I'm wrong.

[Edit: I just asked GPT itself. It reckons it does not have an equivalent to dopamine, closest it's got are algorithms designed to learn and improve based on feedback. I'm guessing that means the thumbs up and down and maybe some dev mode tools, external feedback mechanisms in any case]

If we can't prove that something is sentient we'll just have to assume everything is sentient unless we can prove it isn't. In this case ChatGPT cannot do anything without being prompted (via function in a while
loop or a chat message, lol). It is strictly a program and therefore is not sentient.

Happy to reevaluate this basic hurdle when ChatGPT is able to send a useful/relevant/question/philosophical (any reasoning other than random) message first.
I don't think they impact each other, I thought it was weird elon was taking random swipes at openai, but when I searched his Twitter for openai, the collection of tweets made it clear, interestingly for the same reason the article states (I tend to agree with Elon and the article).

In other news, imo, if a startup doing society altering work per the article is going to be closed, at least, imo, the people working there are decent people.
No disrespect but this is sounding a lot like a ca. 2000's gifted Linux user talking to someone who isn't that into computers. "That's easy [for me]! Simply do [thing requiring talent and skill] with your [open flexible platform]." What you're saying is all true but I wouldn't call it approachable or advisable for the mainstream audience.
I am all for reparability, but personally I don't want to go back to some of the ways things were done 30-40 years ago and bikes are still great for the environment compared to the alternatives. My old car which I purchased used and had for 17 years is equal in weight to about 150 bicycles!

It's true that modern cycling uses more disposable assemblies than in the past, but I've never had any problems finding parts to repair old bikes. I recently restored a 90's flat-bar mountain bike for a friend of mine. It had an integrated brake/shifter lever that I replaced with generic 3x7 shifters. Most flat-bar bikes with Shimano-compatible drive trains use Shimano index shifting (SIS) for both the front and rear derailleurs. The drive trains on bikes with higher-end drive trains are serviceable. Even when a part is not designed to be serviceable, there are often ways to service it. RJ the Bike Guy on YouTube does this a lot.

All that said, the market is headed towards single-derailleur drive trains with a large cassette on the back. It's a change in technology. It simplifies the operation and maintenance of the bike. I prefer it. So, I may upgrade by road bike with a 3x7 drivetrain to a 1x12 drivetrain at some point in the future. I am sure tech will continue to improve so there will probably other upgrades I'll want to make in the future too.

The amount of waste generated by these upgrades and part-swaps is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.
I remember those days :). Support was always reachable in IRC which doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
WeMos D1 Mini FTW. So many ESP8266 libraries out there now.
I see, but doesn't have the same issue as sending an SMS to the phone if the phone has been stolen in that the thief can just say "yes" to the prompt?
Ask HN: What email client do you use, and do you love it?
I currently use Superhuman. I like it much more than gmail. Saw Shortwave a while back, checked out their website today and it looks quite appealing. Anyone using and loving Shortwave (excluding friends of the company)? Anyone using any other email clients that they love?
Is the native SDK story with this that you'd be on the hunt for Rust libraries that invoke native mobile functionality? Not sure if there are any well-maintained bindings to those SDKs around, but could be wrong. There are plenty for desktop, but I haven't seen any high quality mobile OS bindings.

Otherwise I imagine you could use capacitor from JS? But I see no pitch for how this should be done so far.
I think you really missed so much of the point of the game. You really should go listen to the HBO podcast for the show where Neil Druckmann, one of the game's creators talks about many of the ways they chose to tell certain parts of the story in the show.

If you think Ellie was "weak" in the game you're so dead wrong it's not even funny. She's strong from the get go, whether you notice it or not.
I was listening to a podcast recently (Maybe Ian Leslie on EconTalk) talking about people who are goal seeking vs people who get pleasure out of the process. The people who are goal seeking achieve their next goal but are never satiated - once achieved they need something to fill that "hole". It seems he might be one of those goal objective people. It's obviously more complicated than that but it does make a lot of sense intuitively.
They're still trying to make shorts A Thing, huh?
I made a drag-and-drop page builder once upon a time and tethering the tooltip to the draggable object was such a pain in the ass unless I made the tooltip a child of the draggable object which isn’t ideal.

But isn't it against IANA policy to sell or let other resell IPs?
This sounds interesting to me. One of the struggles with sticky table headers is supporting automatic column widths. How does your portal trick support that? Currently I'm using a double rendering trick combined with resize observers.
I’m convinced 90%+ of telemetry is simply to have usage metrics to show managers, rather than actually being used to improve products by identifying inefficiencies and bugs. And it’s a malevolent spectre if you’re the 1% of users who actually use a niche feature in something, since developers will use that knowledge to take it away.

Despite a 100-fold increase in hardware power, and languages/frameworks that handle 80% of the workload a developer 15 years had to think about, applications these days have fewer settings, open and run slower, and improve far less rapidly than anything written in C/C++/Java from 1990-2005 despite phoning home with novels worth of telemetry every few minutes.

Monitoring network traffic and DNS requests through a firewall and pihole, it’s downright hilarious that it’s the worst products that top the charts in both, even when being online is not a necessary component of the software. Meanwhile the software that just works, and works well, might check for an update once a month, and the changelog generally reveals new useful features and mentions performance increases.

Is someone really going to buy a copy of Ms Pac because they saw it in the background of a zombie show?

Do you think the obvious answer is no? Kate Bush's resurgence during the Stranger Things run was so recent...
Fortunately in software you can pursue your passions in your free time for no pay.
How can one recognize brigading? Or heavy moderation? What if it's as simple as unpopular opinions catch downvote?
work for a company where you are developing the comapny's main product, and where the product can be substantially improved by further development. For example, working to develop a website for a supermarket chain, or an app for dominoes pizza, will always have a limit and little respect
The CISO gets blamed and fired because it’s a language that shareholders understand. You think shareholders are going to understand that the CISO enabled others to make secure choices?
But it could be designed to be more specific. Demonstrate the lost city revenue from hypothetical retail or office work; split the difference if it’s vacant.
I get that social housing is something you're particularly fond of. But in this case it would be enabling the bad behavior of NIMBYs. Why do you want to bail out people who are already rich with taxpayer money? Seems like the opposite of fair.
I agree that is it more lucrative that way. But I super disagree with the happiness part. I don't know anyone working at an IT security company, but know many many lawyers and a handful of accountants. 90% of them ditched big law firms/Big 4 accounting firms as soon as their resume was sufficient to do so because the quality of life was terrible. Very very long hours, demanding clients and political atmospheres (As you go up) around bringing in business. By and large the folks that stayed are workaholics who highly valued money and status.

1 good friend of mine, was a super driven lawyer at a huge world-class firm in NYC. She got cancer, and had to take a leave. Fortunately she recovered fully and quit basically the first moment she got back. This isn't one of those 'she left to follow her passion in the arts' cases - she LOVES being a lawyer, but she realized she wasn't living a life. Now she's in-house at a multi-national brewing company.

Anyhow, all that to say - you may be more valued, but it's much easier to be the client!
And the Streisand effect kicks in.

Never heard of Pluto TV before. Will be sure to watch.
You're completely right. It's a kludge for attaching elements in a page structure that wasn't designed for it, and of course it's Chrome only.

Counterpoint to people suggesting size_t for capacity: we recently changed our in-house std::vector replacement from { T* first, last, end; } to { T* first; u32 size, capacity; }.

Not only did this shave 8 bytes off of each instance but in many cases it saved more because they became 16 bytes which reduced alignment padding in other objects that use SIMD types that require 16-byte alignment.

This saved 40 MB of memory for us in https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Orb_Vallis which, given the poverty our mobile minspec, was a terrific savings.

Your needs may vary, but it's 2023 we're still cramming 4GB of poop into a 2GB bag.

I do think it overlooks the idea that some people enjoy the process of programming, while others enjoy the solved problem. If I do a crossword puzzle or Sudoku, I don't frame it, don't care, I enjoyed doing it.

Now one of his points is that a program by someone who does not use it that enjoys creating it will be inferior to someone who uses it and wants the solution.

This is true, sometimes, but other times, what happens is the solution is over fitted to the person who wants it.

Also, often software that is clunky because the person is not interested in the result, yes, but it is better than software that does not exist.
An excellent point. I wonder how it compares with the material and labour resources involved in equipping a modern army.
I thought this would be about Russia.

To me UK is in the top-10 most desirable countries to live in.
Kind of same really. For the past 8 years I've been just "a senior developer".
Commercially I've created some CRUD document-processing systems with .NET + web stuff, I've created some apps for smart barcode scanners for warehouses, I've done some touch-only "pretty" apps for corporate reception desks, I've done some mobile apps based on GPS-tracking and QR-sharing, I've done some database-only solutions too (SSIS-based migrations between systems) and many more (desktops, games even).

In my private time I'm having fun with procedural graphics and game-like apps.

Can't say that I'm a domain expert in any of these, but I'm in top 1% earning bracket in Poland (mostly because the general pay in PL is shit and IT is one of the few jobs with "globalized" salary) and that's all I need in life.
This approach also has some not often discussed advantages. Like I don't ever worry about job security as there's hundreds of those "CRUD"-making companies all over the world. I've actually went full contractor mode (not paid by the hour, but by completing "specs" (sometimes modules, sometimes entire projects)) in 2019 and I'm booked fully this year (signed contracts by both sides) :V
I do, knowing the physical and mental harm of being stuck in front of a computer for most of my life, believe it or not but being sat in a chair for extended periods of time is considered a stress position, and not getting the fun exercise to keep you body fit, bugs me a lot as my health declines and the so called experts ie doctors dont know enough and they are risk averse conformists.
There are business and there are businesses.

Will this appeal to an indie dev or small “mom&pop” style online business? Yes! It’s amazing.

Will this appeal to an enterprise? No.They have 5 different departments already solving this in-house with an army of agencies on call.
Quite a liberal usage of the word algorithm in your title there… very click-baity of you.

Aside from that, I looked at the examples and I’m not very impressed tbh, is the sped up video and the awkwardly skewed screenshot supposed to be it? I ain’t no marketing or design guy but this doesn’t look that interesting.
yeah but you can't ignore the replacements, i guess share bikes frames draw a bell curve with a peak of around 5 years
