> An internal CA is also, while achievable with cert-manager these days, not exactly trivial to set up.

…it's not exactly hard, though? Install cert-manager, and it's all of 3 resources? 1 self-signing Issuer, one Certificate (the CA cert), and then an Issuer that issues certs under that CA cert.

Then any service that wants an internal cert adds a Certificate issued by that Issuer.

2nd edition?! I just purchased a copy of the first and it's fantastically concise. I've always had a great experience with books Kernighan has been a part of, and it's awesome to see that the book's team are domain experts. Looking forward to it!
I avoid hiring people coming from places like this for reasons similar. Extends past tools into libraries and frameworks, databases and other middleware, developer and business workflows. Only knowing proprietary stuff is a handicap. Assuming that proprietary stuff is superior because the big ad companies prefer it is even worse.
Some glass is also plastic. But I think outside technical discussions and deceptive marketing glass is usually used to refer to borosilicate or soda-lime since those are what most widespread glass products were for a while. Recently there are more varieties of glass that are marketed as glass to take advantage of the good reputation (in some ways) of borosilicate and soda-lime. But this is like using the term fruit in a technical way, it is just not what most people mean by the term glass.

Why not deport those who are citizens but commit crimes too?

See, the problem with punishment which is different for one group than the other is that you create an artificial subclass. You chose "violent crime", which sounds reasonable but someone can say any crime or even a parking ticket should result in deportation.

So let's consider that the politics in your country have turned very divisive and immigrants are protesting together with the citizens against something - should the immigrants be able to protest? What if the protests are considered illegal? What if the protest are legal but at the heat of it some people throw stones and maybe even injured some law enforcement officers. Is it O.K. to have a slap at the wrist for some of the protestors and life changing deportation to the immigrants?

I don't say it's easy and there are easy answers, it's just that I really don't like the artificial borders and I think it's worth paying the price of a transition period to get a global society where people are not divided like work cattle and are treated as individuals regardless of their nationality.

Not sure why any of this would be surprising. This is what happens when you allow for-profit corporations to basically run the health care system in this country.

Of course they will do absolutely everything in their power to increase profit margins, with no regard for customer safety. And that includes regulatory capture, as well as cutting corners with regards to safety, and quality control.

I have an AirThings Wave+ (CO2, VOC, pressure, radon, temp, humidity) that I read from using an esp32 via ble (esphome) to bring the data into Home Assistant. All local, super easy to setup & 'just works'.

I'm sure you could use a Pi to pull in the data manually via ble if you have no other uses for Home Assistant.
Surely the lighting matters but I think it is only secondary. The thing that's missing in reproductions is the physical texture of the paintings.
If it works for you, cool. I live in Montreal and I don't see those numbers though.

Healthcare is free but Quebec also has horrible healthcare (they seem ok for pregnancy though). And your employer would cover that in the US anyway.

Rent has historically been reasonable but is quickly getting just as bad as other Canadian cities, and there's no availability.

I think we pay $60 / day for daycare, which gets subsidized down to ~$30 ish. You paid $300 in the US? There is subsidized daycare buy only if you're willing to wait forever.

Parental leave is only pays you 50k a year or so out of your employment insurance.

I agree that driving in Montreal is so horrible that I don't use the car unless I absolutely have to. Some would consider that a positive, I don't.

There are some good sides to Montreal in particular compared to other Canadian cities and US cities, but it's still not the land of milk and honey, and you still sacrifice a lot of money for it.
There is a lot of fuzz in that comparison. I used machines at that time. They were not snappy if you had the average specs. I am not convinced he got that in his comparison. In particular modern iterations of those old machines are usually stuffed with RAM by comparison because since then it has become so dirt cheap to do that that it's not worth not doing it. I acknowledge he at least tried but I'm not convinced he succeeded and even by his own text you can tell he's not exactly putting a huge marker down on the older system being the exact right system. Average specs typically dipped into swap. (The supposed minimum specs were often a joke.)

"accept"

I'm a bit at a loss as to how anything I said sounds like we should accept this. Did I not call it almost sociopathic how IT departments manage to slow machines down for people who have no social power? Does that sound like I think this is hunky dory?
I use PowerShell for this and it works very well.
What you want is called "astronomical year numbering" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_year_numbering), so you have 1 BC = 0, 2 BC = -1, and so on. Astronomers are about the only people who would need to do math on negative years.

de Boer claims that the trailer for Brave belies the fact that it was stuck in development hell, so much that includes content not in the movie --- but everything in that trailer is in the movie, so much so that the "mountain" Merida is seen climbing was critiqued for being Yosemite geology rather than Scottish.

I'm baffled by the claim that Ratatouille is intentionally hard to love. I think it's a telling statement. de Boer's schtick is, of course, contrarianism for its own sake (it's why so much of his writing ends up here, despite the fact that his writing beat almost never overlaps HN). It's as if he assumes that anything he likes must be an outsider pick. In the world I inhabit, Ratatouille is universally beloved, with a higher gross box office than the allegedly crowd-pleasing Cars movies or any of the Toy Story films.

The whole paragraph really comes across as a parody of the Rick and Morty copypasta, but I don't think that was deliberate.
I get pretty dismissive when I hear someone is designing a custom engine for their game. It often seems like they’re stalling for one reason or another, or have something to prove. Mother 4 is a good example.

I read tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow w my girlfriend. She didn’t understand why building an engine is such a bad idea (for a modern pc game). I compared it to a hobbyist car designer starting to design a car by formulating his own rubber for the tires, and building the engine and transmission and wiring from scratch.
That mantle is not something you can escape unless you opt into not having a career.
The whole point of using separate providers for things like email, web hosting, domain registration, etc is that you don't put all of your eggs in one basket. I'm sure Proton has come up with something secure but I see going all-in-for-everything on Proton as being an anti-pattern.
No, please see my third paragraph. Your conversation partners are still escrowing their endpoint keys, allowing Apple to continue reading your iMessages.

Like I said, pizza is by consensus considered an Italian dish, and American splitting hairs on where it comes from or Italians on what's a "real pizza" are just snobs. Enjoy your hot cheese.
If you consider all flatbreads with toppings to be "pizza" then sure, that goes back basically forever.

People however usually think of the origin of pizza to be when tomatoes were added to the equation, and that has a much more well-defined history (mainly due to the limited availability and spread of tomatoes in Europe and around the world).

... contrast that to the experience in small cities and rural areas where repair of a small bridge seems to take six months or more. Witness that and you start to wonder if the George Washington Bridge was made by aliens or if maybe we just can't afford to have bridges. (Usually there are years of waiting for the repairs because the local government can't afford to make the repairs unless they get state or federal funding.)

Speeding up repair of small bridges might go a long way to raising perceptions of government legitimacy.
>Maybe house builders and doctors can come too if there's a demand for it? Maybe the new comers can pay for housing and healthcare like everyone else(taxes, insurance etc.)?

I think you are maybe missing the scale of my point. Canada is a country of 40m people. There are 8000m people on this planet. If we "let everyone who wants in" in, then the country's population could double if just 0.5% of the planet thought Canada was a better place than they are in already. There are easily that many such people.

You think housing stock can be doubled? You think there are jobs for a doubling of population? On what time scale? Like I said already, it needs to be spread over decades.
A random sample by definition isn’t the entire batch, so how would you define ‘batch’ without documentation? The FDA would force recall on the entire product entering the country? Until how many samples are cleared?

Many document editors describe the “collaborative Google-docs like model” of multiple people working on the same document and seeing everyone’s updates in real time as “multiplayer”
I’m not saying that I buy into these narratives, but in the interest of curiosity and for sake of argument…

Let’s say that there are real ET craft, and let’s say that the US government has indeed been retrieving and studying them for decades.

If such analysis unlocks technology breakthroughs of the kind that would solve say, energy problems, the government now has the problem of sitting on secrets that it has no legal pathway to introduce to the public, and no way to explain without somehow coming clean.

If any of this is real, the kind of legislation described in the article seems like one of the few ways they can start to introduce this information to the public. This makes it sound like they know what this is and they need to establish the channels and narratives to discuss it publicly (even if “this” is all a cover for misuse of funds that has nothing to do with ET craft).

Everyone is focused on “what is this distracting us from?”, and maybe that’s all that this is, but even if this is misdirection, there’s something going on that’s making elected officials and reputable military types speak publicly about UAPs.

That by itself is a pretty interesting signal if nothing else.

It could also all be bullshit, and either way, I’m pretty curious to see where this goes.

YouTube is a private platform. You don't get to force them to host anything, same way as traditional broadcasters don't give voice to every nutcase out there.

Most would be outraged if NBC hosted talks about public health with shamans and science deniers. What's the issue with YouTube acting the same way?
This would work so much better if replacement batteries were widely available and replacement just required a screwdriver, rather than heat guns, suction cup tools, and pry tools (https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+12+Battery+Replacement/1...)
It depends on what the tool does. For B2C apps, you probably need a mobile-friendly UI. For B2B apps, probably not. The successful SaaS apps I've done ended up landing on a middle-ground strategy where there was a limited mobile-friendly UI for your basic consumer, but advanced features and content editing needed a larger resolution.

Also phones are getting higher resolutions over time - you might find that you don't need tiny breakpoints to make the UI work on mobile.
I can confirm Airbnb is a major force in Austin.

A few years ago, I was working with a team that was trying to convert an entire API for a fairly straightforward application into REST api microservices.

The architect wanted to break everything up into extremely small pieces, small enough pieces that many were dependent on each other for every single call. Think "a unified address service" to provide an physical address via an identifier for anything that had an address (customers, businesses, delivery locations, etc).

The problem was that it turns out when you're looking up a customer or business, you always need an address, so the customer service needed to hit the address service every time.

Disregarding the fact that this whole thing was a stupid design, the plan was that when you hit the customer api, the customer code would make internal http calls to the address service, etc.

I pointed out that this was a ton of unnecessary network overhead, when all of this information was sitting in a single database.

The whole team's argument was effectively - "it's 2015, computers and networks are fast now, we don't need to worry about efficiency, we'll just throw more hardware at it".

The whole thing ended up being scrapped, because it was crippled by performance issues. I ended up rewriting the whole thing as a "macroservice" which was 60000% faster for some particularly critical backend processes.

Anyway ... I think that mentality is prevalent in a lot of people involved in technology creation, technology has improved so much, moore's law etc etc etc.

So let's not worry about how much memory this thing takes, or how much disk space this uses, or how much processing power this takes, or how many network calls. Don't worry about optimization, it's no big deal, look at how fast everything is now.

"In a perfect world where everyone perfectly followed perfect instructions to the letter, convenience isn’t critically important. In the one we actually live in it, is. And it’s not just me saying this."

Is this your polite, roundabout way of saying "A number of users are literally so stupid that they're incapable of making rational decisions in their own password management practices"?

I would tend to disagree. I think most people have the capability to follow instructions and act responsibily, when they want to. We really shouldn't be letting the general public drive 3-ton SUV's capable of rapidly accelerating to 120+ mph (200+ kmh) if that weren't true, right?
This really makes me sad:

"The actual sound of music is changing too. I’ve noticed in popular music that artists are setting melodic and thema­tic hooks earlier in their tracks because it makes more sense for, say, a video on TikTok or Instagram Reels"

It means when people are listening to music nowadays, they are using an app FIRST, and the music comes SECOND.

It's the equivalent of being so in awe of your record player, you just fiddle around with its controls for hours, playing records only when you want to hit the cue button- and ending the music not when the song is over, but when you get an itch to tap the stop button.

Just in case you haven't thought of it--at least as far as photos/videos there are easy/straightforward generic options for copying them off without having to look.

You can install something like Dropbox or Nextcloud and set them up to sync the entire photo album. Just checking the rough counts on either end should get you a decent indicator that you've got everything. (It's possible something gets missed but, trying to not let the perfect be the enemy of the good, it would certainly be a much safer position over where you are today.)

As much as anything, I'm just trying to give you a nudge. I can only imagine how much it would compound the heartbreak to lose all of that.

My sympathies for your loss.

> it would have applied to the vast majority of users, even those that didn’t even realize “iCloud Photos” was a thing they cared about.

I don't buy this because everyone I know turns off iCloud Photos when it causes you to run out of your measly 5GB of free storage space, which makes the OS insistent about you fixing it to fix backups not uploading. For the people that do pay more, they keep iCloud Photos on specifically for the photo syncing aspect.
Well it's a good thing Google always has and always will have the correct ideas about who the nutjobs are.

“They spy on them because they care”

Secret services got their start in Elizabethan (I) England and it does have something to do with British history and that history was the bloody civil war between the factions. Spying on citizens as a matter of state security came into being during her reign, as a natural product of a society divided against itself, sometimes even in the same (extended) family.

> European feudal societies .. government is expected to care for citizen

Feudal societies had no notion of “citizen”. Nor was the “government” ever tasked with ‘caring’ for the poor. That, as a matter of fact, was the domain of the church and in England the monasteries (that were destroyed during the above mentioned bloody civil war that raged for a long time). After the demise of the monastic system of caring for the poor, and after the lands of the church were confiscated and parceled out to the winning nobility, which gave rise to the British “manor”, for the first time the notion of poor houses became central. And that is when the post-feudal (new order) British Capitalist system gave rise to charities, poor houses, debtors prisons, etc.

The other historic “British” factor here is the propensity of the English for intrigue. They spy the heck on each other because they know themselves.
