This reminds me of my favourite piece of information learned at university. Tall smokestacks often have spiral flanges - to prevent vortex shedding which might resonate with the natural resonating frequency of the structure, causing it to collapse. I still think of it every time I see those flanges.
GadgetSkills – LeetCode for Hardware Engineering
Hi everyone,

I made GadgetSkills, which is my attempt to make a place like LeetCode for hardware engineering. When I was preparing for hardware engineering technical interviews, I was always frustrated there was no unified place to find preparation material. This is my attempt to do that. Please check it out and let me know what you think!

Given that we don't catch, deal with appropriately or rehabilitate the majority of the non-sophisticated criminals, I'd suggest we start with that before we decide to start spying on the rest of the population?

Based on how RIPA and it's successors in the UK have suffered from excessive use I doubt that we will be restricting this power to "sophisticated" criminals if it comes to pass.
If you are looking for a dashboard system that is written in vanilla JS, I will be open sourcing my DevBoard in the next month or two. You can see it in action at https://devboard.gitsense.com/microsoft/vscode and learn more about the widget system at https://devboard.gitsense.com/microsoft/vscode?board=gitsens... Note the repo that is mentioned in the intro page hasn't been pushed to GitHub yet, but will be soon.

The server is a very simple node/express app and the front end is written in vanilla javascript. I also use GitHub's primer css (https://github.com/primer/css) and a heavily stripped down version of tabler's css (https://github.com/tabler/tabler)

Note, DevBoard is more geared towards hackers, so Tremor's is probably a much better fit if you are looking for an out of the box solution.
I disagree.

I'm a super-user and as such I have to use hundreds of tools to GTD. What you call “pretty UI” I call ergonomics. So I appreciate when the tooling is respectful of my time and don’t require me to visit the man page just because the developer was so situational myopic that thought sparing a few characters was a good idea.

It all smells like unconscious gatekeeping.

I get being mad when a service is down, but some people seem to be like, melting down. Humans have lived for millenia (and really into the what, mid 2000s) without doorbell cameras, but some of those people are acting like they're going to get murdered now that it's down.
I saw the launch from southern california. My first ever seeing a rocket go up. It was pretty amazing to watch the thing streak across the sky. Sadly, missed the red glow though.
That sounds like the right way to do it. I would have welcomed that down to earth honesty at my school. We only got half the info we needed, the half they wanted us to hear, and at that point I lost trust in them.
>You don't cheap out on food either

Except many people do. Friend of mine is a chef and likes to quip that people will pour the most expensive oil into their car and the cheapest into their pan. The median American takes home like 35k a year, they're not saving anything for their tombstone, they're lucky if the house is paid off by that time. Yet you see a lot of people run around with the newest top line phone. That's just conspicuous consumption.

Almost nobody except for mobile gaming enthusiasts or VR users gets meaningful premium value out of a new phone at this point. People drop serious money on new hardware every two years that they use for Whatsapp and TikTok.
Kind of off topic: do you need to be signed in to Twitter to see replies now?
We used to let people do military service as an alternative sentence for minor infractions, but that led to a lot of antisocial behavior in an institution that requires order to function (it stopped after Vietnam). There's a reason why when Russia did the same thing recently, the prisoners were used as first-wave cannon fodder and left the actual fighting to Wagner...criminals tend to lack discipline.

There's room for a middle option between passivity and slavery/prison. Some people need to be wards of somebody, so set up an institution like the military (endless boot camp, or the mining-town setups of old) and use that for alternate sentencing. Last chance: you get training, a mandatory job, shitty housing, and limited freedom (shore leave/weekend passes). It's not ideal, so work the program as long as you need to and GTFO. Fuck it up and next time you will go to prison.
That was in 1995.

While I respect your opinion, I can tell you for a certainty that you are wrong in your specific claim — I can cite myself as a counterexample (:

For instance, recently there was an interesting article about finishing projects[1], which emphasized the emotional journey involved, and I rather liked the discussion it generated.

Seems like this isn't considered to be a big issue, beyond that it is a very visible thing that instinctively 'feels' like a bad idea.

> Rocket engines spray water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) into the ionosphere, quenching local ionization by as much as 70%. A complicated series of charge exchange reactions between oxygen ions (O+) and molecules from the rocket exhaust produce photons at a wavelength of 6300 Å–the same color as red auroras.

> Once rare, ionospheric “punch holes” are increasingly common with record numbers of rocket launches led by SpaceX sending Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit. Ham radio operators may notice them... These effects may be troublesome, but they are shortlived; re-ionization occurs as soon as the sun comes up again.
On some older phones it's just a horizontal bar at the top of the screen. But it also says "touch to return to call" on it, so that should be fairly self-explanatory. :)

I'm not a "developer" and I learned DNS without any problems. Therefore agree with other commenter that DNS is not actually difficult to learn. I like the output from DNS utilities such as BIND and tinydns format.

DNS is worth learning for any internet user, IMHO. I've written primitive utilities that when used together can do stuff none of the popular DNS utilities can do. I use these every day.

Here's DNS challenge for readers. Try to look up the domain "bootable.com". Use whatever is the preferred method.

People writing about DNS often compare it to a telephone book. IMO the way most people use DNS is more like "directory assistance".

IP addresses do change but by and large most stay the same for long periods. Old zone files, publicly available scans^1 and other bulk DNS data collected from web crawls and public DNS caches comprise the "phone book" for me. Absolutely essential.

1. Sadly, in recent some of these sources have changed to non-public. No phone book for you! Call directory assistance.
Curious about this: any developers focused account you’d recommend?
> It factually does exceed that right and that fact does not yield a panopticon.

Poor analogy. The panopticon analogy was to relate the fact that allowing inspection of every single message sent by everyone ever is a panopticon. Preventing someone from speaking doesn't equate to a panopticon.

I am very concerned for the worldviews of people who genuinely think it's a good idea to let the government (and consequently, any entity with moderately-skilled hackers and a motive to mass collect data) view every message sent between private parties.

So I'll reiterate, I guess.

No, it doesn't.

A huge part of Ring's marketing involved making people so fearful that they felt they needed it to help them be safe.

I'm willing to bet a lot of that anger comes from them feeling afraid. It's marketing in action.
Yeah, last I checked, encrypted itunes backups would keep the "this device only" keychain data. Which would only work when restored to the same device - it needs the UID key from the secure enclave to decode. (I wrote code a few years ago to decrypt the rest of the keychain.)

At one point, google authenticator started marking its entries as "this device only". I don't know if they've backed off on that since then.

It was still social media that made it happen. Clickbait is needed because you're part of the social media feeds and have to compete with other clickbait. Without a common feed, you don't need a bait. User has already arrived at your webpage.
Re iMessage.

I’m on quite a few ongoing group chats with a mix of iPhone and Android. No one has any real issues but it’s admittedly just text and photos.

It was on completely ideological grounds that we differed. (Which is also against the HN rules to argue about.)

I was attracted to the industry effectively to verify authentication through device fingerprinting. Others, en masse, are drawn because they don’t like the current privacy situation. Can you imagine someone being attracted to marine biology that didn’t like fish?

It’s perfectly reasonable to say that, yes, I disagree with the majority of the field. In this instance, “I don’t like fish.”
Sean never managed to figure out which projects to join. Of course, being fucking Sean Connery, every script with a semblance of an older, wise but cranky man were sent to him. But he never got it right. He turned down Morpheus in The Matrix. He turned down Die Hard 3. He turned down Jurassic Park.

He really needed someone savvy to guide him, which he never got. At least he made The Rock .
>Both companies and applicants dance way out-of-step with each other on this.

100% agree with this. The previous commenter's company probably does want exactly those things, but as you said, some other companies have HR write the job postings and it is just a game of telephone with what the hiring team actually needs.

So they only way to find out is to apply, especially if you are currently unemployed you don't want to risk something just because you don't 100% line up to the position.
Yep. But the replies are all about users wanting credits.
And how much would it cost?
Appreciated, I wish I could help more. There's for sure a way to highlight that you can work on long stints, as well as quickly jump into diverse projects across the full stack.

Unfortunately I can't help much on it, as on my short career I always chained jobs on the good times and never had to work much on my CV or marketing myself.

Best of luck.
Makes one wonder how da Vinci would fair in today's ADHD inducing always accessible internet environment. Would he be finding Pokemon on his phone instead of painting the Mona Lisa?
"Careful" isn't a number though. The wikipedia referenced flights to support her boat trip alone put her carbon footprint above hundreds of millions of people.

https://www.iea.org/commentaries/the-world-s-top-1-of-emitte...

She is most likely in the 90% percentile not the 10% percentile. Which is my point. We shouldn't look to people with huge carbon footprints as role models. Al Gore for example has multiple homes. He is easily in the top 5% of carbon footprints in the world.

If the most alarmist and upset climate activists cannot get their carbon footprint down below the average human, then it is pointless to try. The only fix for this problem is technological acceleration toward clean energy, even if getting there causes short term emissions to increase.
People can disregard fucking anything they don't want to hear. Still, perhaps, might work.

> where these bad choices

drugs = bad choice, always? There can be good sides too.
Kids can keep themselves entertained very easily nowadays, YouTube/Tiktok/games can suck hours away in the blink of an eye. It's not like when I was young where going outside and hanging out with friends was the most fun choice.
How exactly was it unclear (diagrams unclear, or you got stuck somewhere, or something else)?
I doubt they actually do much anyway.
Perhaps it bears pointing out that some people legitimately need crutches. Why shouldn’t they use a GUI to ease their access to a crucial tool?
People are losing their minds. This person sounds like many software developers: " I’m debating on setting up a home DVR system because I can’t trust Ring will stay online 24/7." - good luck with that.

I mean, I get the frustration but you outsourced a core service to the internet, then are shocked when it's not available all the time? All the comments about "must be 24/7" and "don't you have backups?" etc... How can we possibly expect people to consider subtle things like privacy when they don't get the fundamentals?
How is Toonami Aftermath able to air this? Do they have an agreement with Cartoon Network? How did they manage this? Anyone have any insights?
The work phone VM here would still be MDM managed, have policies enforced, support remote lock/wipe, etc.

It's a really elegant solution IMO.
1. There will be no increase in caps. AOS relief from Congress is also not likely. The executive can take some minor steps in making AOS a bit better depending on interest, but still unlikely.

2. Not happening. Nothing is getting through Congress anyway.

We already have a thing where everyone on the internet can congregate, then split off and find sub-communities of interest (such as this excellent one right here) to participate in.

It's called The Internet.

I don't see the attraction of turning that into a massive, homogenised, centralised commercial product under private control. Never have.
Most sieges don't tend to end well for the person inside the building.

The linked article dismisses Robert Allen's explanations, unfairly. I find Allen's work to be very clearly articulated and convincing. The question many economic historians ask is, why the British as opposed to the Dutch, or the previously-wealthy states in Italy? etc. The Dutch comparison is especially important, because prior to the Industrial Revolution the Dutch were actually more "advanced" on most metrics.
This is already the case

I'm even more bullish as to whether WoW counts as much more than team play with training wheels on.

When you screw up team play on the playground you can make enemies, rivals that will follow you through school for years to come, a reputation (for better or worse). You may have to look another kid in the eye and tell them, "No".

I don't doubt you can acquire some skills from online play, but if you think you're leveling up in self-esteem, social skills, I imagine that will get really put to the test when you find yourself alone at a party, or in an interview for a job.

Like flight simulators, they can be educational but I suspect it's a whole 'nother level of learning and experience when you could die if you screw up.
Indeed. The article itself doesn't explain why this will affect the rest of the world. In fact, Apple has said they would consider withdrawing FaceTime and iMessage in the UK if this law goes ahead, so I think it is unlikely it will affect the rest of the world. Either the UK will be left with fewer encrypted products, or they will do a u-turn.

There's not a lack of these sorts of discussions on the internet by males or tech people or white people or whatever. Just go on Reddit or Twitter it's everywhere.

American's love talking about those issues. It's probably the biggest thing they love talking about compared to most other countries.
>The UK Government repeatedly fails to understand that there are no boarders on the internet

Don't know what universe or timeline you're from, but on this earth today, the internet definitely has borders.

That's why we have those EU cookie banners and GDPR consent forms, and why some of my favorite piracy websites are blocked by all ISPs in my country, or why I can't watch Top Gear on BBC's website because I'm not from the UK, or why Facebook had to remove some politically spicy content worldwide because the courts where I live forced them to, etc, etc.

Mainstream web companies have to conform to local laws in each country or they'll get fined or blocked. Sure, there's VPNs to circumvent that, but the days of the lawless and borderless internet are a thing of the past.
Not surprised the app really doesn’t seem to have a purpose.

Cannot search by hashtag. Not sorted by time … cannot post on news / politics.

It’s really just a generated text / pic thread for content consumption featuring mostly ads and payed celebrity marketing.

I think you'll end up with drug-naive kids, which may be a similar risk. You've just shifted the risk to an older period of their life. Kids need information, not naivete enforced through ignorance.

When I was like 12 my teacher was an army reservist and got the idea to teach us how to rappel off the top of the school, lmao. So we all got together with our families and rappelled off a four story building. It was bananas and we all had so much fun. Now days they’d probably charge that teacher with a felony.
That assumes your child will pick up your interests which is certainly not guaranteed - mine sure did not even though I did try to engage them in similar (though less high-tech) exploits. I have two daughters who both grow up liking typical daughter-things like horses (which is not that odd given that my wife is a horse vet and we have 3 of the critters around the farm) and books instead of all those noisy smelly dangerous things I'm wont to play with. I did manage to build a three-wheeled soapbox car with my oldest daughter with which she then competed - and won - a soapbox race, the thing was loosely shaped like a bee and painted to resemble one, bug eyes included (bubble plastic with some red spray paint does wonders). It had Ackerman steering (cobbled together using rebar and welded-on nuts for bearings) and was dangerously fast, just the way those thing should be.

"Would have been great to at least have a view of the robbers if they came to my house, u know. What a 'Ring' is supposed to be used for."

I don't believe it's cultural only, the same way I don't believe ethiopians or kenyans excelling at marathons and long distance runs to be a cultural thing. Genetics play a factor, why can't math skills be influenced by genetics as well?

You may just agree with it though. Let me know your thoughts.
Someone says that TLS secures your credit card number when buying things online. Which it does.

You say that it doesn't do that, because someone could break into your house and install a hidden camera to capture you entering in your credit card number and it doesn't prevent that.

But you use other things to prevent that. That isn't the kind of security that TLS claims to provide.

And notably, there aren't a lot of alternatives to the kind of trust that blockchains would allow you to avoid placing in the likes of PayPal.
Yeah, I'm not worried about it in sizeable cities, but me moving out of CA would probably be coupled with being a bit more rural (and that's coming from not living in a "large" city already, as I live an hour north of SF). I can move anywhere in CA or any of the southwest states and probably be within 20-30 minutes of some fairly good passably authentic Mexican food. My confidence in that erodes the farther from the southwest or a large city I am.

We actually cook a few dishes fairly regularly (the pork tinga recipe from America's Test Kitchen is actually amazing, if you're looking for something, and dead simple to boot), but there's something comforting knowing it's easy to get some of your favorite food done well on demand on short notice for those days you really aren't feeling like dealing with making dinner.
I only spend 15% of my pretax income on my 15 year mortgage. But I make BigTech money working remotely. So I find that question kind of irrelevant. I definitely don’t expect the average person to only spend 15% of their income on housing.

Expenses don’t scale linearly with income.

When I was making $22K a year in 1996, I bought phone for $300, was that too much to spend on a cell phone too?

To a first approximation, no one buys their phone outright in the US and 62% of people replace their phone every 3-4 years (https://www.nevis.net/en/blog/how-often-do-users-change-thei...). So they are only spending .45% of their income on a phone.

Apple released a security update for the iPhone 5s released in 2013 earlier this year. There is no reason to replace your phone every year.
