Sounds about par for the course for folks that think shell is a productively sustainable way of writing secure or reliable software. Not even remotely sorry about that opinion. The gall to claim ACME compat, then force require a single client, all so you can remote execute arbitrary commands. Should be enough to ruin the CA, but we know how people handle things like this "oh, won't affect me" (until it does). Seemingly just so they can avoid some reverse proxy rules to host the challenge endpoints at the right place? Holy wow. Oh there we go baby, eval'ing with arbitrary input in the shell script, complete with lazy inproper string quoting. I should probably just stop before I say more unkind things.

Was it even run through shellcheck?!

Stop writing this stuff in shell people. 95% of the time I review any (posix, nushell lacks most of these issues) shell scripts, it's obvious they would fall apart the second any string unexpectedly had a space in it. Even scripts written by darling companies of HN.
Do you use it for writing tests? It’s really helpful there. And in my experience it’s bad with non-standard algo heavy code. What language and domain are you using it for?

IMO it’s a nice 10-15% speed boost for web dev. And much more than that for unit tests. I expect you can measure a massive jump in test coverage by engineers that use copilot because it takes work that most people hate and speeds it up significantly.

On October 11, 1950, eleven residents checked into Stanford Hospital in San Francisco with very rare, serious urinary tract infections. Although ten recovered, Edward J.

Let me put it another way, by making an analogy to a service that (surprisingly) does this one thing correctly: Tumblr.

Tumblr "just happens to have" a dashboard, but that doesn't really matter, because each blog also has a web subdomain that serves both the blog's posts, and serves a (public, unauthenticated) RSS feed for said posts. Which means that I can just subscribe to all the Tumblr blogs I care about through my RSS feed reader of choice (which is a single-pane-of-glass I control, and one which muxes together many other posts-once-a-month sources as well) and forget that the Tumblr dashboard exists.

And the Tumblr dashboard itself also doesn't need to be operated by the same company that hosts Tumblr's blogs. It could just be a fancy RSS reader, that uses Tumblr's API only for posting. And so it could be a third-party app, without needing to make any (authenticated) API requests to Tumblr, when all a user is doing is consuming content.

"The Pragmatic Programmer" by Andrew Hunt. If you're from computer science or related background, it's a must read. The book was written in 1999 but quite relevant even today. I'd go so far ahead to say that if every developer starts following these basic principles, the amount of technical debt in the IT industry may easily get reduced by over 80%!
Native implies running directly on the hardware, not streaming from the cloud or virtualized.

NixOS binary caches are secured by public-key signatures, as well as HTTPS. Hashes for all source artifacts are checked by builders, and this is strongly enforced by a build sandbox that disables network access for derivations without a known output hash. NixOS is leading the effort toward reproducible builds (https://reproducible.nixos.org/), with many sources of nonreproducibility automatically ruled out by design.

Supply chain security is of course a massively multifaceted technical and social problem, but I’m curious what other distributions you think are doing it better in practice?

Ask HN: Discussions on Usenet?
imo, two things ended usenet:

- eternal september, a name for the gates to usenet opening up when isps bundled access, and there no longer being a bar of being a student or academic.

- isps removing binary access

given these two things i believe to be true from my perspective on usenet at the time, why haven't usenet discussions become a more mainstream alternative to centrally managed content-and-discussion communities like Reddit?

I'd like to fight a few strawmen while I wait for someone to reply:

- People pay for premiums on conventional social networks, so i don't buy it that they wouldn't also pay to access usenet or encourage their carriers to either provide gateways or direct connections to usenet the same way carriers were encouraged to upgrade their data packages as our media consumption practices evolved.

- we are not constrained by the same bandwidth limitations as we were in the past. preventing binary access doesn't make sense in a world where torrent and bootleg youtube traffic isn't also blocked.

- the internet is already populated by the same people responsible for causing "eternal september" and they're concentrated into the communities that inspired this thread. that damage has been done and the window has shifted while the internet evolved along with the netizens inhabiting it. it's no longer a matter of displacing the academics that don't exist on usenet anymore.
Oh, for sure! The takedown itself must happen immediately because of the unbalanced nature of the DMCA.

However, the verification doesn't need to be an automatic system. Google would not be at fault if they took down the page, had someone competent enough investigate the takedown, and then make a decision. The current system doesn't even start a real investigation until you object and even then the investigation isn't exactly thorough.

Same, I got burned one time by accepting a suggestion I thought I understood.

I think the general problem is that Copilot shifts you from writing code to reading code, and sometimes reading is harder. You can't really take a "yeah that seems right" attitude because it's just throwing guesses at you and seeing what sticks. The safe way to use it is as a jumping off point for writing your own code.

It happens all the time because as humans we are limited.

> This is interesting to me because it's so at odds with how I took in the new trilogy. I thought only Johnson showed any vision at all, and I also thought his sense of small scale combat choreography was way better, e.g. the scene where Adam Driver and Rey fight those guys in the red suits.

> JJ's movies were so derivative of the original trilogy I sometimes wondered if he was messing with us, e.g. the scenewhere a character says, if I recall, "it's just like the death star!" once they've unveiled...another death star.

I liked Abrams' first one best. It had some issues but it at least nailed the epic Star Wars tone and feel, and it's a solid movie and fun to watch.

Johnson's felt ridiculous and contrived, with the fake low-intensity chase, the weird dialog, the space casino, and on and on.

The third one was just an absurd mess, and involved total plot whiplash after the second one went in a different direction.
The speed at which boiling water kills an animal is directly related to the ratio between the contact surface and the volume.

For usual crabs and lobsters the volume is low enough and the contact surface quite large, their bodies are not sealed, boiling water enter directly inside.

I think it can take a few seconds longer for huge crabs, especially if the water volume is not so large.

If you cut the head of a lobster, I think it can suffer for an extended time before dying, but not if you cut it in half longitudinally, as this is usually done when cooking them grilled.

I've carefully observed the process, and there is no question about it.

The way I use, I only accept suggestions that are what I was planning to type. For me, it usually only suggests single lines. So it's not hard to understand.

To be fair, seeing some income feels way better than seeing none. And if you're seeing growth it's another thing too.
>What's the benefit of taking unskilled people in who's backgrounds we don't know?

The benefits are:

1. It depresses wages for the poorest Americans. The American left used to be vocal about this 20 years ago, before the left turned into "we need more transwomen of color exploiting the poor and bombing brown people! [Sponsored by Google and Microsoft Bing]"

2. It creates new Democrat voters within a generation. If you can think 20 years down the road (and they have) then this is a near-infinite source of voters, consequences be damned. It's not like these illegal immigrants are gonna live in the gated communities of the rich and powerful.

Democrats like it because of #1 and #2. Before Trump, Republicans liked it because of #1, and they still do, but now they can't say it out loud anymore because it will piss off the younger Republicans who are more protectionist and less libertarian.

Oh, did you mean benefits for Americans in general? Don't be silly. Illegal immigration benefits no one but the 1% and the illegal immigrants.

With the exception of three stops on the UWS that took about a century to build[0] and one additional stop on the 7, ~all of the subway stops were built 80+ years ago, via one of three independent private train companies. Those three companies eventually went bankrupt and were taken over by the city, and then later the state.

So I wouldn't call anything a "design decision" in this case, insofar as it was never designed intentionally to be a comprehensive public transit system the way we think of it today.

I wonder if many of these lowball salary job postings could just be companies applying for an employee's greencard through the PERM system. IIUC, for PERM, the applicant's employer is required to put out a job posting for at least 10 days to show nobody else can do the job their employee/greencard applicant does. The salary they list in the posting must be at least the minimum wage dictated by the Department of Labor for the role.

However, I suspect that the company making the ad will just list the lowest possible salary in the posting to deter real applicants from applying, hence making the greencard applications smoother.

However, don't quote me on this, since this is just my very vague knowledge on how greencard applications work. Somebody else here who knows more about this topic, please chime in to let me know if this is true.

Education will become more important but not necessarily a CS degree. AI may soon eliminate the beginner experts.

I find it baffling that anyone is unable to see the value of YouTube. There are incredible resources available on YT for a wide variety of topics and interests. There are multiple categories where nothing else comes close anymore (e.g. cooking, gardening, movie reviews, live music recordings, architecture). There are amazing math, science, and programming videos. There are great interviews with a wide range of people. There are people who break down guns, electronics, etc. and explain how they work. You are really missing out if you use YT to watch the default recommended content.

This is probably in part explained by the sheer size of nixpkgs. It's the largest and freshest (i.e. with the most up-to-date versions) package repository among Linux package managers (see https://repology.org/repositories/statistics/total).

Unlike Arch it also is not a rolling release package repository and has both unstable and stable branches that it needs to maintain (along with different versions for each). In fact, the NixOS cache keeps every version of every package that has ever been built and stored in the cache so that binary versions of all historical package versions are available.

Finally it also includes packages for MacOS binaries as well as Linux ones.

I'm frankly surprised it actually costs as little as it does given that it's using pretty expensive S3 storage for everything.
