My normie male/coupled friends are mostly doing churn and burn. Disney for The Bear, churn, HBO for Succession, churn, repeat. The actual quality shows are few and far between so it has to be done if you aren't pirating.

For my women friends though, Netflix just has them dialed for reality stuff. Selling Sunset, Below Deck, Love is Blind, Too Hot to Handle, Queer Eye. Educated women with serious jobs, they love to escape with this stuff, IME.

Don't forget forcing everyone to their SaaS offering only to be shown not to have a validated disaster recovery plan that resulted in almost 2 weeks (4/5-4/17) of consecutive downtime for many customers. Cherry on top was the 57 customers they screwed up the backup restore for and brought back older data. By the time they realized it they had to work with the customers to merge the newer backups with the changes they'd made since the initial restore.
If you’re serious - any profession in which you’re paid $x/hr, and a cheap knockoff cable could fail and burn 130/x hours of time.

Extra worth it because Murphy’s law will make it fail at the worst possible moment.

Or more likely, your cheap knockoff cable works well enough except when Joe from accounting is warming his Chef Boyardee in the microwave across the building. That kind of intermittent heisenbug can stealthily burn dozens of valuable hours and not show up on any accounting line.

It's not something that should occur to you. It's just how your brain works. Not everyone has that visual aid. And year (or time) is not the only thing where it's applied. I have different mental visuals for all kinds of concepts. It's called visuospatial synthesis I believe.

I find it weird and a bit arrogant that the author didn't open with some explanation.
I don't find this useful. The alternative is simple:

- do not indent code that way

- do not align comments on the side

Before

int someDemoCode( int fred,
int wilma)

×(); /* comment */
print("hello again!\n"); /* comment */
makeThisFunctionNameShorte(); /* comment */

After

int someDemoCode(
int fred,
int wilma
)

×(); /* nobody */
print("hello again!\n"); /* needs */
makeThisFunctionNameShorte(); /* aligned comments */

This kind of control over indentation and alignment borders on OCD. You should be using a code formatter anyway, so indentation is auto-fixed.

"LocalSend is a free, open-source app that allows you to securely share files and messages with nearby devices over your local network, without needing an internet connection."

Pardon the ignorance but why would someone use Magic Wormhole to transfer files/messages between computers on the same LAN.
Would there be a rendezvous server listening on a local address. What if the two devices are owned by the same person.

If they use the Magic Wormhole default settings the files/messages will travel over the internet, using a third party rendezvous server.
This is similar to magic-warmhole[^1] but has the added plus of being written in golang, which means one doesn't have to install multiple packages, just one binary. Thanks for sharing.

the illustrations on gravgaard's page show a minimum of one space between columns, even in places where that seriously compromises the desired formatting, such as

int someDemoCode( int fred,
int wilma)

i think it would be better to represent that, where actually desired, by

00000000: 696e 7420 736f 6d65 4465 6d6f 436f 6465 int someDemoCode
00000010: 2820 0969 6e74 2066 7265 642c 0a09 696e ( .int fred,..in
00000020: 7420 7769 6c6d 6129 0a t wilma). .

(note the explicit space following the left paren) and render

00000030: 696e 7420 736f 6d65 4465 6d6f 436f 6465 int someDemoCode
00000040: 2809 696e 7420 6672 6564 2c0a 0969 6e74 (.int fred,..int
00000050: 2077 696c 6d61 290a wilma).

as the more acceptable

int someDemoCode(int fred,
int wilma)

which i think differs from gravgaard's intended semantics

Exoskeletons for Construction Workers Are Marching On-Site (2019)
It's about as common here (AU) as referring to dates as sprints since epoch. So not very.
It is not that straight-forward.

If I did not know any better, I would read in your answer that somehow Red Hat is trying to hoard access to all this software ill-begotten of all this free labour. That is nonsense. Red Hat provides not only entirely free access to all this software, to all this code, not only for the code written by the supposed “10,000s of unpaid volunteers” but also the absolutely massive amount of software that they themselves write and contribute to. They do this in multiple ways—most directly via CentOS Stream. If what you wanted access to was just that, where is the complaint?

What people want to get for free is the immense amount of work that Red Hat puts into curating, testing, and managing the very specific packages that make up RHEL. And what makes this most valuable is the distribution in it’s totalality—-the precise collection of packages and the relationships between them. First point is that a lot ( more than half? ) of the RHEL distribution not covered by the GPL. The second point that it, as an “aggregate” work, is explicitly excluded from the terms of the GPL by the GPL itself. Pull up the text of the GPL and search for “aggregate”.

It is not the code that people want access to and especially not the work of those “unpaid volunteers” as that is readily available. People demanding a “bug for bug” clone of RHEL are demanding to benefit from the immense investment and mountain of work that Red Hat does to produce this aggregate work that goes well beyond the code itself.

Ironically, it is always framed as something to do with “the values of the community” and “the spirit of Open Source” and the “greed” of “commercial interests”. All I see though are people trying to free-ride on the productization part of this Open Source product. It is the people that want “exactly RHEL” without paying for it that are being greedy. The loudest voices are people explicitly trying to commercialize it themselves.

Think about this. Rocky Linux cannot contribute anything to the code. They cannot even fix a bug. If they did, they would break their value proposition of being an “identical” RHEL clone. So, there is no Rocky “community” that is expressing “the values of Open Source”. Rocky is no RHEL fork. They are not even trying to be an equal ( or even junior ) partner in the evolution of the software. The “community” is just a set of Rocky Linux customers. Even if some of them do not pay, that is all they are—consumers ( not contributors ). There are many direct RHEL subscribers that do not pay either after all so not paying does not a community make.

When we describe what these “consumers” want and frame as being a group of contributors ( unpaid volunteers ), it is misleading in my view. It is not just Rocky. The same is true of Oracle and others.

I have a lot of respect for Alma. At least they are actually trying to become a real part of the process and to build an actual community around CentOS and thus RHEL. What they are doing is all they RHEL wanted. Pretending that RHEL is stopping anyone from being a part of an actual extended RHEL community is just wrong. Let’s stop describing it that way.

No… That's fascinating that we are having this discussion honesty. This shows you don't have any idea about how this works but are here saying nonsense with a sense if self satisfaction… FYI mud brick don't collapse when they're “wet”, soaked maybe they could but unless you put them in water or leave it unprotected from the top during monsoon, it's not happening.

See here a public bid where a particularly low-cost standalone CEMS unit (will still need a good deal of engineering and construction above this cost) for a single basic chemical species (SO2) costs $15,000.

In an area like Deer Park, TX, you might need 8-35 of these per monitoring station (highest variety of chemicals will be near 3rd party tank farms like ITC, along major chemical pipeline networks, at chemical railyard terminals, and ocean shipping terminals). Engineering costs to get a building put in place, telecommunications, power delivery, and SCADA control integration would be expected to run at least another $100,000 not counting any in-house project management hours.

They'll need regular expensive maintenance and some installed redundancy.

To give you a sense of the scale, here are just energy pipelines (natural gas, crude oil, etc). These maps lack thousands of chemical pipelines.

Here are some maps of very basic commodity chemical pipelines, but cost $2,000 each to purchase. https://www.petrochemwire.com/maps-and-data/

This one facility here is about 380 ft x 350 ft. There is a single pipeline going to this tiny facility which carries around 7 million pounds of chlorine per day. But that pipeline is just serving a tiny 3 acres of the western hemisphere's largest industrial complex in Freeport, TX which spans well over 13,000 acres. Just extracting the chlorine from salt water for this complex requires enough electricity to power 400,000 homes.

>Have you ever seen security done right anywhere? In my experience, it's always the bare minimum.

I think there's a lot of ground between doing the bare minimum for security and hardening your organization against the NSA. Every step towards greater security is a step I support, even if your organization isn't able to reach the "hardened against the NSA" level.

I'm happy for you if you want to harden yourself against the NSA, but I dislike black-and-white thinking. I care about harms to users which come from non-NSA threats too. Case in point: the original post about hackers selling 23andme data -- presumably to clients who are not the NSA, in some cases.

If every discussion of how to improve security gets derailed into a discussion of how evil the NSA is and how practically no one is secure against them, then organizations will continue to do security badly, and we'll see more breaches like this 23andme breach. Fatalism is a self-fulfilling prophecy. I see it every day here on HN.
If you work in a big org, there is probably a process for getting software/etc approved. Since JetBrains is hopefully already approved, you may have an easier time to get it through. At least that's how it worked for me in telco-world.
I was thinking specifically about routing. Making a competitive state-of-the-art routing app requires a massive investment which most car manufacturers are unwilling to make. You don’t have to be FANG, there are companies like Waze and TomTom which do this.

But, yeah looking more broadly, this is one of many issues which become a solved problem with CarPlay and Android Auto. The investment in smartphone functionality will always be orders of magnitude larger than whatever car manufacturers can build. E.g. I can choose which routing app I use!

By the way, I have worked for non-dominant FANGs in this space who also did not want to make that kind of investment. There’s a reason Facebook and Amazon don’t have their own routing apps.

Yeah, I have been struggling with these questions for 25 years and I am not alone.:-) You can always spend $100M and build exactly what you need (eg. 16 RISC-V processors with custom vector extensions and a selection of I/), HBM3, serdes, ...). If you are lucky your with your application fit (cost, power, performance) you could possibly buy a Snapdragon, Xavier, Versal, Agilex. The problem we are addressing is the gap, where you don't have $100M in your pocket and you are constrained by physics (size, weight power) or cost.

I cannot speak for the “spirit” of the GPL but I can certainly read the text.

If the FSF wants to stop somebody from doing what Red Hat is doing ( which would long term be bad for Free Software in my view ), they are going to have to revise the license.

I guess the GPL4 will just be the next GPL license that the Linux kernel does not adopt as the differences between Free Software and Open Source start to diverge further.

Really raised my blood pressure that one.
I naively thought that if mortgage rates are 8% then I ought to be able to invest in a mortgage backed security for an 8% annual return. It turns out that, in the process of creating the mortgage backed securities, various entities take fees and the portion of the mortgage that goes to the investor can be several percent less than the interest rate that the homeowner pays.

Let's play "devil's advocate" and ... advocate writing LESS "useless" software.

I'm not saying don't work on your own stuff, but if you're going to invest a significant amount of your life into something, ideally it should also have the potential to earn you some money. Unless you're already rich and your problem is boredom instead of money like for the 99.9% of us.

I'm doing just that. I have a long running project that I built for myself, which was tangentially useful in experimenting various software architecture designs but the key part in this project is that it's "business driven". So if I understood something it's the employer's focus on the business rather than the tendency of developers to get lost in the useless beauty of technicalities.

I seldom build a feature for the fun of it, mostly I just need the damn thing to work. And when I do build the feature, it's almost never the most bleeding-edge aggressive optimized version, it takes me weeks and months to think about an use-case so running getting results in 10 seconds versus 100 seconds is absolutely irrelevant, actually relevant if getting 10 seconds instead of 100 takes me another couple hours of thinking.

Recently I am dabbling with the idea of starting another personal side project and again, it's gonna be something of potential commercial value. No harm combining the pleasant with the useful, in fact being useful rather than useless is what keeps me going.
