They literally openly admitted it last November. You can say the special forces part is new but that isn't the point being made by most, which is about US troop boots on the ground, and the military never says which specific type of troops are there anyway for operational security reasons.

I've told the story a few times on HN about the "cheating" in my 2007 Digital Imaging college photography contest for the Digital Imaging program[1]. In our instance, we're a totally (brand new) digital program, and someone combined some framed and created a scene that didn't exist, they shot the scenes separately and combined them. Our prof told folks to f'off when they complained as it was well within the lines. I agreed. That said...

This, seems outside the lines. Entering a photography contest with work that isn't based in photography, that you didn't shoot, isn't in the spirit of the contest. A photograph is an image created by light falling on a photosensitive surface - Edit all you want, hell edit till it's not even the same thing anymore, but if you're entering a photography content, at least trigger a shutter. The Sony photography awards are very clearly based around photography as the fundamental starting point. There are lots of pure digital art contests to enter, so enter them.

Show HN: SaaS for making software documentation less annoying
As a developer, I absolutely despise writing documentation. That's why I've started building software that would make it a more bearable experience.

Our current features include the following:
- An AI assistant that lets you talk with your documentation.
Ask questions like: How do I do thing X? What is the method for fetching a model from the database? And the AI assistant will answer.

- Developers can choose their preferred way of writing: online WYSIWYG editor or writing to markdown files using their favorite editor and then synchronizing with the system via CLI.

- Tagging relevant documentation pages with the corresponding code files. Git integration will let you know when one of those tagged code files changes and lets you know the documentation needs an update.

I'm sure the people in HN have many more pain points they are experiencing with their documentation software, and we would love to hear them. Any feature suggestions are more than welcome.
We've been using embeddings and clustering for our classification of content into categories but we intend to make the categories more fine-grained and will need a categorization tool that isn't too expensive but works really well. I've looked into IBM, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
You're confusing a hypothetical with an argument. No science would be possible if were were constantly tripped up in this way.
Do you still learn new practices/technologies/stacks/...? I'm asking because that's my problem. As I start to care less, I also care less to keep myself up to date with new tech stacks.

Consequently, it's becoming painfully aware to me that if I were to lose my amazingly well-paid job in which I (feel like I truly) excel, it'd be a pain to look for a new one. Because of my niche, I would, most likely, have to go down with my pay by one or even two seniority levels to be a standard SWE in a different company right now.
To add to this point, there are also less developers available who are willing and passionate about developing the next balcony, band aid and workaround for the half dead horse.
That’s a career dead-end.
Each and every developer wants to work on the new stuff.

At some point in time it is just not profitable anymore to provide further FEATURE updates for free anymore.

As you say, I think you’re right for many classes. But in other classes, apps are entirely widgets. I’m looking at the first Electron app in my quick bar: Spotify, and thinking about how to make it portable without being Web.

It’s all widgets, no canvas. If you made it in any of the above it won’t feel Spotify it’ll feel Qt or whatnot. For Linux and FOSS types this is usually fine. It’s sure fine for me. But for the vast majority of users it isn’t.

And I don’t think anyone wants to write the application natively thrice.

When it comes to “mostly canvas” applications I find myself thinking about using game engines. They’re portable and basically that: a canvas with some basic UI support.

I spent a couple of years not that long ago basically wrapping a proper production system around a low code system because it had grown so complex by the time I joined that trying to just do a rewrite was not feasible in a reasonable amount of time given our small team. Instead we built two-way sync of the data and built new functionality in a proper system and gradually replaced function by function when we could justify the time cost.
Right, but my point is that you scale the physics problems because it makes them more general. In my example, if you changed the length of the spring you don't have to recalculate the whole solution, you just calculate the new characteristic length for your new spring length and "undo" the scaling with this new characteristic length using the previously computed solution.

Thus, since you know a lot of problems will have values around order 1 it makes sense to design the encoding such that you get extra absolute precision for order 1 numbers.
How did things end up this way? I'm massively frustrated by the stupidity of our security team and it gets worse each year. And I've tried to explain this stuff about web apps exactly like you just did but it never quite gets through, and when it does it gets a response like "well, we should probably find a way to restrict web apps as well".

I know for a fact that none of the people doing systems administration that install this junk endpoint management software actually want to install it. And it's laughable that corporations can simultaneously claim to be implementing zero trust, while at the same time giving crowdstrike software more trust than anything ever had before everybody decided they wanted to chase buzzwords. It can take weeks for me to get a new hire set up with WSL right now. If I didn't like the people I work with I would have jumped ship a long time ago.

Security teams have managed to threaten and bully their way into having more power than anybody else in IT. All the big stories about hacking is certainly part of it, but honestly I don't think that fully explains it. If I was a CIO paying an enormous amount of money for endpoint management and then saw something like solar winds happen, I'd probably have fired everybody on the security team that advocated those sorts of security strategies.

In my mind, security is something that should happen deep in the backend and be handled mostly by programmers, DBAs, and the admins that handle application servers. Once the data has left those environments with somebody it shouldn't have you have already lost. No hacker has ever said "I breached the database, but then got stopped from exfiltrating data because somebody made it so the USB sticks don't work".
The differences aren't always surface level aesthetics. Say in a toolkit the text input widgets don't support pasting content. An app using it will behave materially different than any other on the system. Not only that it might look ok but lack functionality necessary to the user.

This is not hard to imagine since various UI frameworks have long had issues with different paste board systems on Linux.
Obviously a dragon doesn’t get damaged at all by a puny little sword. You can’t just say that hitting a dragon with a sword a thousand times would kill it, when none of the attacks can get through the dragon’s armored hide. On the other hand, it will die immediately if pierced by an arrow provided that arrow hits the one spot where the hide is missing a scale. The dragon has 100% DR, except in that one spot.
> This explains why so many people use Electron and just embed a web browser

I would wager there are 100x the number of Qt/GTK apps than there are electron apps. That number could go up or down by an order of magnitude, and the older widget-based toolkits would still be ahead. So ... I don't think that citing numbers of developers doing X or Y is helpful here.

> React Native is more of a framework that uses native toolkits to begin with, so it starts out with much better alignment with platform expectations

More similar to WxWidgets then, which uses native widgets but wraps them in lowest common denominator API. For one reason or another WxWidgets hasn't been as successful as one might expect.

Anyway, as I've noted elsewhere in this thread, the majority of creative apps (including Logic) barely use any of the native toolkit within their main windows. Almost all DAWs, drawing programs and image editors just treat their windows as a big 2D drawing surface, and do their thing without regard for UI/UX widgets or rules designed around productivity/business/system utility apps. The "native" aspect kicks in only when they interact with the rest of the desktop environment, and they vary quite a bit in how native they go (they also keep changing this; Logic has gone back and forth with using the native file browser vs. an app-specific one several times over its life, and in different contexts within the app).

This also has implications for the extent to which Qt/GTK/etc. toolkits impact the UX. If someone writes a widget-heavy app, then the toolkit design & implementation will have a strong impact. If the widgets are limited to some toolbar at the top, it doesn't really make a lot of difference as long as the devs get system tray/notification right, and don't screw with window management.
Call it whatever, but executing arbitrary code on an employee's system should trigger all the alarms in any org.

The two guys responding to the email are basically "doing their job". "Oh, it's not a bug in the software package, no cookie for you." Yeah, it's a much more severe incident, you stupid son of a bitch. Any CISO sees this and throws themselves out of the window.
The thing is they also happen to distribute their own multiplayer games that have been being hammered lately due to an influx of bots and cheaters. So on one side you have people arguing for the sanctity of their systems, and on the other side you have players who would like to enter at least one match where there isn't six snipers spinning around like washing machines
Super useful and detailed! I'm keen to see what apple comes up with, and if the same approach for encoding can be followed
If you can translate business reqs into a (working) technical impl you're a programmer - the rest is semantics imo.
There are only two plots:

> You're confusing a hypothetical with an argument.

What's the difference between a hypothesis and an argument?
It wouldn't be a stretch to commission a modern secure Kindle DX for document handling. The rule wouldn't be no printers ever. It would be no exfiltration of secret materials. That stuff doesn't need to be handled in a sheaf of papers. Everyday non-secret (ie low impact damage) material can continue as is.

DoD contractors are under heavy scrutiny and face severe repercussions for leaks. They've been operating this way for decades.
Out of respect I wanted to reply and say thank you for the links, and justification for another view. While I would say deliberate prejudice very possibly wasn't in the decision making process, a risk assessment was made. One where the risk of gassing black communities in places like St. Louis was the "safer option" because black people were second class citizens. They had no means to challenge it. If they found out, who would believe them? Who would care? For this reason institutional racism was reinforced by the military and to say " well it wasn't to be mean, they had to gas someone unfortunately" doesn't really make the decisions behind it not a decision based on race to hurt those who couldn't stand up for themselves because of their race , and therefore racism. Were other cities that were mostly white gassed to test biological warfare distribution methods? Yes. Did it impact them negatively too? Yes. Did it affect them the same way? No. the white community had a chance to expose it? Yes. Did they have an opportunity to try? Yes. They tried, and it failed. But what of the mostly African-american counterparts? At the time, none of that. Looks.pretty racist from here.

> The catastrophic event eliminates any meaning behind what they accomplished or practiced in regards to why they practiced science in the first place.

But if they didn't suffer a catastrophic event, we would call their activities "science"? So, because they did suffer a catastrophic event, what they did is not science (or is not relevant, since you avoided answering the question directly)?

And if our current society was destroyed tomorrow in a catastrophic event along with all our science, and a new society arisen from the ashes that performed scientific experiments, would that mean that what we did wasn't science? Or that what the new society is doing isn't science?

I know I'm streching things here, but words (should?) have meanings in all possible scenarios, and thought experiments are used to decide meanings in such edge cases.

> Practicing it behind closed doors may appear less like science for science's sake and more like, say, an economic pursuit that coincidentally involves the scientific method.

Does "not doing science for science's sake" include only monetary motivation? Would it also mean that someone who primarily wants to achieve status and fame as a scientist also isn't doing real science? Or are they exempt from the rule, since they would most likely release their knowledge into the public (which brings us back to the "science is only science if the current society benefits from it")?
It seems pretty clear that children learn a lot from seeing peoples’ facial expressions, so that’s one reason to end universal mask mandates. Our kids’ teachers strongly advised removing the school’s mask mandate when it came up for discussion, because of an uptick in speech issues and because some of their pedagogical methods relying on showing the kids the movements of their mouths.

They’re running three beefy HEPA filters at all times in one room, this isn’t politically motivated or an attempt to ignore the problem.

Yes, it's a fungeoid (https://esolangs.org/wiki/Fungeoid), using a hexagonal grid. Ignoring dimensionality, non-square fungeoids are not novel e.g. hyperfunge (https://esolangs.org/wiki/Hyperfunge) uses pentagonal cells (it also uses a hypergrid, so each cell is surrounded by 20, 4 at each corner).

> "If I wanted to, I could replace the current version of the package with something malicious, and it would start running on Google’s employees’ computers/virtual desktops."

Seems like you should? It doesn't even have to be malicious, but you're much more likely to get a response (even if it's just a bug fix) by opening a window on someones computer that says "haha, you're hacked! send and email to security_team1234@google.com and let them know what happened."

caveat: not in infosec – maybe there is precedent to not do this kind of thing if you're in the business of bug bounty hunting.
It makes more sense if you view it as an extremely politically motivated decision to signal that we should stop thinking about COVID entirely.

Content streaming is one case where I wish,wish,wish they were non-closed ecosystems.

Make your offerings available via an API. Make the actual content stream with whatever DRM standards you (the "platform") need to feel comfortable.

In my opinion, this is one of the most secure options.

Pass is a short bash bash script (very little code). It passes the encryption to a dedicated utility GnuPG (out of which only the AES and cv25519 routines are used).

You should use smart card to store the GPG key. Every touch of the security key gives out only one password. So if you copy the HN password, other passwords such as your bank password is not at risk.

The missing part is integration with browsers, which increases the attack surface (although it’s minimal here, since only one password is at stake), but protects against phishing.

Pass probably doesn’t need an audit, since you can just read the script.
