The second part of the article makes it clear that the author has never worked in online banking (I have), and possibly any other complex domain.

> Have you ever heard about those three web engineers who figured out that secure online banking is actually quite an easy problem to solve?

> The storage and transfer of numbers is not a particularly hard problem.

These quotes are so incredibly disingenuous that make me question any advice OP has to offer.

First, banking is quite a complex domain, and it's complexity increases exponentially with the kind of services that you offer.

Second, banking is a highly regulated industry, which makes everything why harder than "it should". In fact many "neobanks" have appeared in the last decade, and this is usually their biggest hurdle.

Third, online banking needs to deal with quite a few hard technical challenges. That's why the likes of Monzo, Starling or Revolut often given tech talks.

So no, imaginary requirements weren't the root cause of bad software when I worked in banking. A 20+ years old big ball of mud, inability to pay off any tech debt (unless you wanted to get literally yelled at in front of the entire team), flaky and severely insufficient tests, and a very toxic working environment were all causes of bad software.
So, since the a hole engaged in fraud the veil was broken, no?

That makes them personally liable iiuc...

Challenge accepted: "The stoic young man bid us au revoir and left"

The thing is, English borrows so much from other languages that it's not apparent to English speakers that the words are from other languages.

...

et cetera (etc)

id est (i.e.)

videlicet (viz)

sic

and that's just Latin.

Think about Schadenfreud, Bon appétit, Au revoir, Macho, Amigo, Kindergarten, Uber, Gesundheit, Smorgasbord, Apartheid, Trek...

Honestly, the list goes on and on and on. English speakers use more "borrowed" phrases and words than any other language I can think of.
We use KC with PostgreSQL as backend data store. Backup is done by backing up the PostgreSQL database.

If you actually want to transport configuration across environments (DEV, QA, PROD), then you want to export realms and have it load by KC on startup or import it using the UI.
Hrm, my clock skew issues (mainly after recovering from sleep) all went away in the last six months and I am on stable.
Never gonna happen. Some PR bullshit announced by Netanyahu. Intel is in no position to stand up a chip manufacturing industry and start building manufacturing plants in countries that have no chip manufacturing capability at all.

Software, maybe. Hardware? Impossible. Lies by corporates and politicians.
Netflix might be a good example of where GraphQL is good: There's not one frontend, and one working app, but many, just by hardware platforms they support. Add to that changes in behavior for different regulators, licensing agreements and such, and I bet there's a bunch of bespoke little frontend things that need slightly different information from each other. In that environment, queries aren't really completely free flow, which is what could ge you in trouble, but it might be nice to provide cheap customization of the API, instead of building bespoke backend tweaks for every one of those bespoke frontends.

It's ultimately not unlike how people wonder why the Uber app is so big, when everything seems so simple to them: Each interaction appears simple, but put all the interactions from every person together, and the problem is far harder than it seems.
Oh my... Just checked my WSL2 version and it says WSL version: 1.2.5.0. Always thought it was version 2, but now I guess it's more about option 1 and 2...

WSL (option 1) is pretty dead I believe, so this should be WSL2 version 1.3.10...
I can't think of any specifics that won't sound silly in isolation. It is just the sum.

I mean, it felt like I woke up one day and couldn't read Python anymore. I believe there is a great lag between introduction of a concept/syntax/whatever and its actual use, so I can't even pinpoint a version where Python became "too much".
We kept improving the game afterwards and released the final version

29th 2015.

They've released on all the at-the-time mainstream platforms, I don't think the choice of consoles is what I'd blame anything on.
I'd rather have the tools to find things without having to interact with humans.
it's useful for QR codes though so they can actually be scanned somewhat reliably from a phone screen
I don't know. But most North Sea wrecks are from both world wars, and the sea itself is radared and scanned to death by just about everyone. I don't think you can keep anything down there a secret.

It's also busy. Divers have to attach visible labels to their experiments to make sure other divers don't disturb or steal them.
I get the networking aspect but sounds like you have to waste 80% of the time and inordinate amounts of money on all sides doing this mating display of a traditional conference with useless bs talks (like an inauguration) circle jerk award ceremonies, overpriced junk food (not to mention the outrageous amount of food and boxed lunch packaging waste) just so that you get that 20 min or so 1-1 time with some experts?

Surely there should be a more streamlined method to get the same? Maybe just a high powered meetup where you invite out station experts or something.
"For small $50 charges? No way."

Why not? If the phone companies here can extend that courtesy to normal consumers then I find it ridiculous to suggest that a cloud provider couldn't afford to do the same.
Au contraire - it's practically a Deus ex machina that this discussion should allow such an elegant counterexample.

Edit: That was such an eureka moment I feel like it should be something of a cliché.

QED (Quod erat demonstrandum)
> but are you really confident you will do a better job than professionals in the field?

Sometimes it’s better to do just the thing you want, and nothing more. Othertimes it’s better to rely on tried and tested solutions.

I’m still scratching my head over the crazy unnecessary feature in log4j2 that lead to their massive security vulnerability recently. A feature that I had never heard of nor would have ever used.

The trade off isn’t always obvious between reduced attack surface of bespoke solutions vs the many eyes on popular public solutions.
There is a fundamental difference between working on software products vs bespoke software development:

In the former you make money from selling the result, in the latter you make money from selling the hours spent creating the thing.

If the former is unusable it will lead to bad sales. In the latter it might even lead to additional hours sold in change requests.

The former is bought often after evaluation and comparison by the user of the software. The latter is sold to an executive that will never have to use the software as a project.
There's a reason in-house corporate software started becoming web based 15-or-so years ago: web is cheaper, easier to hire for, faster to develop and deploy, doesn't require installation or updates, easier to troubleshoot, doesn't need special pipes for communicating with the server (yeah I remember the days of DCOM, CORBA, WCF and other weird protocols instead of HTTP).

It is things like Qt that only HN and online nerds care about.

Don't get me wrong: I really like well made native apps and I think they're great. But Qt apps are almost never as great as software made with native toolkits directly.
Does not seem to work on Pro XDR in Safari or Chrome (I guess it hasn't to really be internal display).
> Many job seekers told me that they’d been targeted by scams in which supposed hirers offered them an appealing-sounding job, and even set up Zoom calls and interviews—but turned out to be people posing as recruiters looking for candidates’ personal information and job accounts.

> Even legitimate companies are posting “ghost jobs” that they don’t actually ever fill. Employers post ghost jobs to get a pool of candidates that they may use someday, to give the impression that their company is growing, and to keep current employees motivated

When the movie "Indie games" came out, this was the prime time to get indie games out. The whole indie market thing was hot.

But at a certain point, thanks to the free availability of game engines and their overal quality, the market got flooded with developers living on 5c a week and eating noodles, working on serial games and releasing top quality indie games.

It became a game of marketing. And sadly that's where we failed.

Steam says that there is no better or worse day of the week or month to plan your release... That should be your first red flag. There are about 30-35 quality titles being put out on steam alone, every day of the week, weekends included. Other markets are a bit of a joke, they hardly fly on the revenues radar, unless you have a special deal with them for increased visibility.

You see the title you've worked on for the last 6 months solid just fly off the list quicker than you can say woof.

I know for a fact (we talk) that most indies don't make a 10th of their budget back. It's a marketeting's game now. So you probably want a publisher to be in charge of that... and we're back to the old days of non-indies, or essentially small studios.

"True" Indie games are dead, by the law of numbers and algorithms. Even people that saw success in the past are now having a hard time pushing signal through noise.
> Edge Canary Smart Home customers

Edge Canary I understand. What is the 'smart home' bit about, search reveals no results. I even tried Bing. Is that a typo?

Also how do people know if the upscaling is happening, is there a little indicator somewhere. Does it work on Linux with NVidia/AMD GPUs?
That's not at all our experience. We use KC for all our auth/auth needs and it basically "just works".

The UI might look a little outdated, but that's a admin ui anyhow. Lately even that got better.

Cannot recommend KC enough. Even kenning locally on our dev boxen, it never failed on us.
Have you considered permanently moving? I have health issues that would be alleviated by moving to milder climate instead of living up north but it'd be a huge undertaking. Nevertheless I'm considering it more and more each year.
This proves my point from the last paragraph.

I’ve also found this solution in the past, but it is too complex for me. Just to define a page, I would write an SPI, do a config in the admin panel and the corresponding documentation I would need to write for my colleagues. One of those is bound to get forgotten and not get updated, which brings me to square one, keeping a HTML file updated.

That’s why I would prefer a solution in which I register the endpoint programmatically and make it parse the template. I do it once and I don’t need to config the instances afterwards (we have dev, staging and prod)

Gt4atproto: A Dedicated Environment for at Protocol
gt4atproto is an environment for AT Protocol built in Glamorous Toolkit (GT). It covers several things at different levels of abstraction such as:
- Creating posts and threads from inside the knowledge management system.
- Working with a server through AT Protocol.
- Streaming and pagination support out of the box.
- Inspecting and visualizing results.
- Code generation from lexicons to Smalltalk code.
- Dedicated styling and completion support for editing lexicon JSON files.
You seem to be confusing processing ore into sponge with mining that ore.

No, just no. Capital extraction, be it dividend payout or stock buybacks, benefit existing stockholders, by definition. Stock buybacks, however, as opposed to dividend payout, in a free-ish market increase stock price, which prevents those with less free capital from being stockholders in the first place, which, under capitalist system, are the workers.

Stock buybacks benefit those with previously free capital while at the same time hurting those without free capital currently. In a capitalist system this does hurt workers quite a bit.
Ye sure. My point is that Python is harder than it could be. Not that it is harder to use or learn than C++. It is like the language design now is centered around those with 10 year plus experience in the language.

I firmly remember how hard it was to understand each concept as a newbie. And all the additions since I started out must be insanely confusing now.
> Wii U, which Nintendo marketed so badly many people thought it was an extension for their Wii

I can't decide if that's better or worse than Xbox. Xbox One isn't the original Xbox? And do I want Series S or X?
So, many of the other banks in Norway, accept Apple Pay.

Sbanken was recently purchased by DNB. They originally offered Apple Pay, that service has been shutdown as of last month.

DNB is roundly considered a poor banking experience in Norway, they are the largest, but most people don't come away from their customer support feeling great.
Actually these are not bad examples per se if what you want is to understand objects oriented concepts, the problem is that for many scenarios OOP is just a bad model for them.

Me too! General rules of thumb: as long as your content matches the name on https://www.themoviedb.org/ Jellyfin will recognize it and have excellent metadata, posters, etc. Even if you change the filenames later you can re-scan the library and it will be updated to reflect the new names.

Also see the Jellyfin documentation about media naming for TV series https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows/ and movies https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/.
It's not a competition, except it sort of is: claiming to be the first as well as acknowledging previous is serious business in academia, and in an indirect way also an indicator of how much people did their homework or how willing they are to play nice with others.

So if they don't view the demoscene as relevant previous work to their paper then I want to understand why they think their work falls under a different kind of procgen.
It was 8 years ago and the Indie game scene was not so saturated with games in this style and genre.

I've found that people live in their own delusions. You have to learn how about how a person perceives the world around them and realise that there is no objective truth but simply what they believe.

Then you can still work with them as long as their incentives are aligned with what you need them to do. That is the intended behaviour fits within their perception.
Im not sure about where Soy oil fits in, but there seems to be growing evidence that oils made from seeds, often called vegetable oils, are in fact quite bad for you especially when used for cooking.
I feel like, inherently, Mullvad is crazy secure. They never ask for email, phone number, name, or any payment details, and the only identifying information (username and password) are replaced by a number they generate for you.
And then it gives you a wireguard config you can use with whatever client you trust.

Are you a social dancer? :D Salsa dancer for over a decade and event (Congress/social) organizer for a few... I know exactly what you're talking about!

PS - the issue is that many social dancers want to dance over being social, and alcohol detracts from it. People have jobs and want to pay to contribute. We ended up settling on a cover charge that comes with food credit so people can booze up if desired, and buy water/snacks if not. Win-win.

Using modern, networked computers does involve a lot of trust.

But as long as it's not one company delivering the whole stack, some attacks require a gradually more unlikely scenario where a lot of parties across the world would have to cooperate, and the cost of an exploit that traverses the software stack becomes so expensive that targeting you is out of scope.

MacOS X was still pretty hardcore about not doing fullscreen, for quite a while. The green button used to make the window 'full size' but that often meant like, as big as a 8x11 document in word would be, not full screen.

That pissed off a lot of users who expected MacOS to act like Windows. So Apple changed it.

Then along came the iPad and Apple went full hog on "1 task at a time" UIs. So full hog that Microsoft had to backstep and do the same with Windows 8 lol.

>I think most of you all are faking it

There is a lot of that of course; but ...

It is also the nature of the medium (i.e. short pithy comments) which makes one come across as an "Expert" without the writer having intended it.

The way i deal with it is to treat comments strictly as data/pointers/advice which i then look up in some detailed book on that domain. In other words, don't take anything at face value but do your own study.

Finally it also seems to be the case that HN has more exceptions to your statement than is found at other sites i.e. we have more outliers showing up here.
I love how, if you do view it accurately, it just makes every other white look washed out and grey in comparison. Our visual system is just one big comparison machine.

> HDR can't give you more range,

It gives you more range.

> so what does it actually do?

If you have done a little C programming, you will know (or can check) that a 32-bit `int` represents values from -2147483648 to 2147483647 while a 32-bit `float` goes from -340282346638528859811704183484516925440. to 340282346638528859811704183484516925440. - clearly more "range". This is almost exactly what is happening here.

(If you haven't done a little C programming, you should!)

> The only thing I've seen it do is override my brightness setting to make my screen go to full brightness when I've set it lower.

That is too bad. My experience is very good: only the QR code becomes much more striking, while the rest of the display remains the same. Perhaps it is implemented by increasing the brightness on your display to compensate for the reduced range available due to your brightness setting, but if that's what is happening here, something else is also compensating the colours to make the non-HDR areas of my display darker so that I cannot notice.
