Your logic sounds reasonable to me though .22 winmag is my alternative to 5.56. I always get eye-rolls when I say that but it works for me for pest control. That little 40 grain can handle fairly large pests.

I do have .22LR but the only .22 rifle I have is a Ruger K10/22 and I am probably going to sell it. I am not a fan of their firing mechanism and I don't really like auto-loaders. About 98% of my shooting is the .22 winmag due to the length of my fields. I reserve the 30-O6 for protecting the horses and family from anything big that comes around but that is thankfully very rare.
You assume even distribution. It could mean in select 1–2 class(es) or school(s) many students were abused, while in others none were.

And, it requires knowing the total for the percentage to make an emotional impact—something the writer could provide with little effort, but did not.

Both are gonna happen. Yes, a lot of people will be thrown onto the street. A lot of banks will go under.
That would lead to levels of stone walling so extreme that no one would actually bother engaging. We already have that right now, with editors treating some articles like fiefdoms and being very combative to any change. Usually using pedantry or the revert rules. Imagine if you could just make any claim, and then there needs to be a process just to disprove it. Plus with the 3 revert rule it would basically turn the entire website into hell.
How any of these companies convinced people to put all their eggs in one basket, I'll never know.

I wouldn't consider myself a gun nut by any stretch, but how is the appropriate response to people who won't identify themselves trying to load you into the back of an unmarked van not violent-quickly-approaching-lethal force?

Anyone with knowledge in the area will tell you that if you're the subject of an attempting kidnapping (or carjacking or anything in that ballpark) your number one goal is to not get taken to another location. Whatever you have to do, don't get taken somewhere else because it's definitely going to be something more favorable to the assailant.

I too am shocked that this didn't end in violence and serious injury or worse.
But what intervention promises that?
1. A good percentage of corp people do not have these specs.

2. The whole point of the comment was enterprise IT software, and I can confirm it severely impacts the performance of high-spec computers with stuff like 32GB mem and NVMe SSDs.
Moreover, SSDs cannot be 100% erased, as not all capacity is user-addressable at any point in time.
5 year old CPUs (Intel i7-6700, for example) do 2.6GB/s.

Identity providers, password managers, VPN companies, …. should never get hacked. They make their money from security products. I won’t use them if they are breached. They probably have deeper problems.
Secure erase works on assumption that encrypted data is indistinguishable from random noise AND that attacker cannot recover the encryption key. Insecure implementations of encryption will leave some way to recover/reverse engineer the key, which means they are useless for secure erase as well.

This is not really a CPU issue, it's a disk issue. For a lot of workflows, windows already has inferior I/O performance compared to Linux even with AV disabled, so more on by default security features is not exactly helpful for developers.

Regardless of the impact of this breach in particular, your point still stands and is one I do share: this is a major downside to centralized identity providers. Their existence creates a centralized point of access that all an attacker must do is bypass once for some sort of benefit.

“Security” as a practice within a company comprises of technology, process, and culture. Should one of these pillars be subverted by leadership in anyway, the organization security stance becomes crippled.

In my experience, this security kneecapping happens because some bonehead exec looks at ways to cut costs or doesn’t like having to pull their phone out to login, and decided on a layoff or loosening of policy because, “we haven’t had any problems so far, so why do we have these staff members or this highly obstructive 2FA in place?” I mean, people used to die with greater frequency in car accidents prior to seat belts, too, maybe we can eliminate those next?

Indeed. I was looking for something that would show a chart directly instead of

1) Open https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webapp/#/pages/explorer/crim...

2) Select 1985 - 2022

3) Select Homicide

I think that one chart tells a better story than all the up/down percentage language in the article.
I was on a jury a few months ago for the first time and it seemed like a reasonable cross-section of society. I don't know if I'll go so far as to say smart people are more likely to have professional-level jobs than dumb people, but professional-level jobs are not going to fire you for going to jury duty for a couple days with quite a bit of notice (I got my notice ~2 months before my time in the jury pool). While it didn't seem any "stupider" than society as a whole, it was also very clear when folks gave the prosecutor or state-called witnesses more weight than the defendant or the defense witnesses.

And most trials aren't major. There were 5 or 6 trials at the courthouse that week, and only one was estimated to take more than 3 days. Ours took a full day but I still got home before my wife.
Could there be a categorical mistake at play here?

Sure, scientifically speaking, we may all be deterministic robots. But the complexity of those robots is so astounding, that free will, regardless of it being an illusion, an emergent property, or something else, simply works at a different level of abstraction than the molecular processes that make up our brains.

To put it in some Hacker News terms: you will not find static types in the ASCII standard, yet the C language magically has them.

Perhaps it helps to reason from the perspective of the biological processes, instead of trying to project human attributes on them, and then reason back up to see the whole unaltered. Do you think a DNA molecule has any concept of time, place, or choice?
Agreed, that feels like horrible advice. Even encryption with a password of “hunter2” is worthwhile in that it would stop untargeted access.

Crackhead burgling my home is significantly higher risk than the NSA trying to grab my data. If the NSA wants it, my cute 32 character random password is probably insufficient to stop them.
Why would it need to wipe every sector of the disk? As ilyt stated, there's no need to encrypt game files. There's also no need to wipe them. Just the directories where important data resides.
I have never thrown away a drive.
Don't forget the database contractor and frontend contractor aren't allowed to directly talk to each other but have to make contact through their individual contracting officers.

A coworker claims that his personal MacBook Air m1 without encryption is much faster to update MacOs than his work MacBook Pro m2 with encryption.
> I think people forget just how bad compatibility was a decade ago.

I think you're forgetting how long ago the issues were. It was pretty bad in the 2.7-2.9 days, but a decade ago was already into the 2.10 era.

> This led to the ironic situation that it was easier to use Java JARs from Scala than to use Scala JARs. If the ecosystem had used source dependencies instead of binary dependencies, this could have been avoided, even if compile times may have been horrendous.

I don't think that would've been worth it. Binary dependencies work great given that libraries cross-build; the real issue was back when source compatibility was broken often enough that that wasn't practical.

> For an example I'm sure many people here will remember viscerally, Lift Web kept making substantial backwards-incompatible changes regularly even after they knew they had commercial users who faced real-world costs for churn.

I don't think there'll be many remembering that. Lift was big, what, 15 years ago? It was already fading by the time I started Scala back in 2011.
> Deletion votes are often done with like, 20 votes or less of just random passersby.

You don't even need that. IIRC, the "PROD" process can get an article deleted with no votes at all. All you have to do is tag the article and if no one removes it for a week, it will be deleted with no further discussion.

The caveats are you can only PROD something once, and I believe no discussion is required to delete a PROD'ed article (if anyone remembers it to want to bring it back).

This is so unbelievably stupid. Making it three days a week but not specifying which three days is a full-on admission that remote work is fine. Every meeting will be partially remote, all your team conversations still have to be in chat for someone on the team, you're just turning your physical offices into WeWorks and pretending that means something. Even when we were still in-office the thing you thought might benefit from physical presence, pairing, we did over teams because it made it easier to share screens.

The fact that you need the line managers to track and enforce the rule is the real kicker because it means you can't actually tell who's just on their two days or someone who doesn't show up at all. And no manager would be stupid enough to enforce this rule because they already have so little to offer their reports for retention that letting them break the rules a bit for QoL is basically a golden ticket.
Is this anything but the kind of pearl clutching that appeals to a certain kind of war hawk?

Is like, oh no demand for a thing went up and supply didn’t preexist… if for some reason supply does absolutely nothing, we’ll be in real trouble many years down the road!

You see the same thing with minerals (lithium for batteries, rare earths for magnets) and all sorts of things. Yes, indeed demand changes for things and supply doesn’t respond immediately. Come back when there’s actually a reason to be worried.

It’s the department of defense, if there was actually a shortage that would have an impact, it would be fixed quite quickly.
In Utah, at least, all cops are required to also be EMTs. I think understanding a lot about how the body works and how to save a life might also have an effect on how you respond to some events, but I don't know.

We generally try to do things that give a return on investment and don't burn money for no reason. This one most certainly had the ROI. It took 4-ish people to build it in under a year and it removed significant pain and increased developer velocity for hundreds of other developers. Many of whom are working on things that allowed us to be profitable at our IPO.

We're not just a shopping cart product. I thought the same before I first joined but it turns out getting groceries to your door is incredibly hard to do at nation-wide scale.
> Wall Street and private equity firms prioritize cash out first, and that means a once functioning and nimble industrial base now produces more grift than anything else

Every time any well known brand is taken over by private equity, it goes to shit. But somehow it is blaspemy against the free market to point out the problem.

We spend 21 times more on defence than Russia does, but cannot outproduce it in basic ammunition. And some people are mad enough to contemplate conflict with China. They have 20x Russia's manufacturing capacity.

Americans talks as if their democracy was fine, that the last president didn’t spend months telling everyone the results were fake and how a revolt happened on January 6th.

It’s not a frustrating outcome of democracy. It’s a failure of democracy with one party trying to take over and destroy all other opinions by all means necessary, which includes an open revolt and election stealing.

The only editor I've found that reliably does that is mousepad. (I believe it's from xfce4) It's also really fast to start like Notepad++. Though it is more like windows Notepad in features than a bigger editor/ide.
I think those mostly comes down to resources. Real rooms make more sense to spend time on. Procedural generation could help with some of this. But you still have to spend resources on assets to fill these spaces.
Somehow they could only find talent in the same country they all originated from!
In addition to using a word that is confusing many HN readers (and non-readers), the title is a bit hyperbolic. I have not seen anything that leads me to believe the U.S. has compromised its ability to fight two simultaneous wars, it's just we've deeply dipped into our reserves, and production has not ramped up yet. I have every confidence that America's industrial base will happily expand to fulfill any (funded) mandate—does Stoller seriously disagree? And in any case, it's not like these resources are going to waste, the war in Ukraine (we will elide the other conflicts) is very much worth the investment from NATO's perspective.

That's the point - non tech/silicon valley have a lower demonstrable need (salary) and should be able to find indigenous talent by paying appropriately. A COL adjustment wouldn't be an unreasonable modification though.
I doubt that was the main datastore. It might have been a configuration database though, which I can see it being an issue given that it sounds like it was business logic causing the issues.

> Reading while lying down

Absolutely. I read before going to sleep every night. Back in the day, I'd often wake up in the middle of the night with the bedside lamp still on. Now I use a Kindle that turns itself off after a while (I have an iPad too, but iPads hurt when you go to sleep and they bonk you in the face), but it's still not entirely comfortable to use for that purpose.

If the glasses were comfortable enough to not disturb sleep, and durable enough that you didn't have to worry about shattering the eInk display if you rolled over on them, I would definitely be interested.
I've been working with rails for a long time, so it doesn't feel like magic to me, but I can understand that concern. I highly discourage metaprogramming unless there is an obvious win. Rails/Ruby, especially in the beginning really leaned in hard on metaprogramming, but I've seen that be less of a trend with ruby. From my perspective, the metaprogramming trend has been going down. Ruby makes writing DSLs easy, and that can appear as magical too. In general, if a rails project follows convention it is easy to find what you're looking for.

I don't understand what you mean the global namespacing. Ruby has namespacing, and adding to the global namespace should be avoided except for adding new class definitions. Maybe you're referring to inheritance, and how much stuff can sneak into the current scope from class inheritance.
I’d want to see real benchmarks to make sure that’s not due to a confound (e.g. updates used to be slowed by things like Homebrew having huge numbers of files in the /usr/local directory which were inefficiently moved & restored by the installer). Every time I’ve tested it the difference has been negligible.

Whats funny is Americans are so adamant that their standards of living have been dropping for 30 years, but then support unfettered immigration. The immigration does boost the economy and leads to technical innovation, but there is a real cost to the standard of living. Also discrimination against Americans in H1B heavy companies is rampant.
> Contributing to Wikipedia has become really not fun. Or maybe it never was. I tried writing an article about Playwright - perhaps the most common test automation tool these days. It first got rejected and now just has been sitting in review state for 3 months.

I think if a state entity is dead set on acquiring your data, they will do that once they have access to the chips.

This notion that your encryption- any encryption- is going to stop a state-funded actor from getting past to your data is just as ridiculous IMO as the people who stockpile AR-15's and cosplay soldiers on the weekends think they're a realistic threat to the same military that has predator drones.

If the government wants your data, they probably already have it, just like if they wanted you dead, you'd already be in the ground. Assuming there's enough left of you to bury anyway.
The state of our union is dumber (2013)
Related to mosh (mentioned in the article), something has been bouncing around my head a lot. Why don't terminal emulators already work the way mosh does, decoupling the terminal part and the rendering part?

I assume it is possible to ingest a stream of terminal data much faster than rendering it (obviously keeping track of what is needed to render). Then the render loop can happen independently at a certain framerate, like a game engine. It is quite frustrating when a verbose 'cat' or 'find' slows my terminal emulator to a crawl drawing each line.

(edit: it just occurred to me that maybe this would break scroll-back in the terminal emulator... hmm)
