> I personally will downvote the “I hate the X (eg iPhone) so you shouldn’t be able to buy X” comments, which I find really bizarre.

The bizarre part is why do you want to see people as worse than they actually are? Doesn't make sense. Nobody on HN is saying you shouldn't be allowed to buy an iPhone, you telling yourself that is their argument isn't helping you, you would be much happier if you understood them better.

nix and habitat are alternative ways to bring user-space additions outside of a distro's package management in a repeatable manner. Otherwise, one has to make their own packages and run their own CI/CD package builders. I did this for Erlang, Elixir, and rebar3 since the corporate consultants who ran a YUM repo appeared to have stopped providing such for CentOS 9 stream. I think it's less painful to either standardize on 1 OS and add custom RPM/DEB packages, or ignore what the OS provides and vendor all user-space dependencies to an isolated stable path with a different packaging/build system.
And before that it was Congress. Bjp (modi's party) has not been in power in punjab since 2017, when it was the minor partner in a coalition govt with shiromani akali dal.

Hmm, not sure on GitHub actions, but wouldn't a local ci runner solve this? A small sff/Atom PC for approx 100$ with the hardware key attached...

So all that would change is where the signing part happens, either in the cloud or on your local runner...

Not sure which way to lean if this is an improvement or not security wise :-)
Here a colonoscopy is adviced by my doctor for anyone aged 50.

She told me the free screening kits for bowel cancer the government sends out is mostly an awareness campaign as those tests are extremely unreliable.
whether or not that it is the case is an absolutely fascinating question, but one that does not have anything to do with bluepizza's point.
If you practice bringing a new datacenter online without any connectivity on the existing deployment, and you practice then joining two disjoint "clouds", then you've pretty much covered your bases.

Are you making a rate limiting/ddos argument about "turning them all on at the same time"?

From my understanding it says that the laws of physics are merely expansion following some set of rules. Because there is no limit to the complexity that you can gain by expanding using some sort of expansion rules, and the rules of physics are emergent phenomenon of this expansion.
But why does the complexity stop there? my intuition says that if the complexity is ever increasing, why does the laws of physics not evolve over time into something much more complex?
Why would random expansion like this settle on a set of stable structures? I thought the whole point is that it does not?
The article doesn't cover this, but it's worth pointing out why the study asks this particular question. With a single-payer system the Nordic countries want to know what the ROI is if we sent letters out to everyone above a certain age offering a free colonoscopy. The study is well-designed to answer that question.

The study does a poor job of helping an individual asking a similar but different question: Is it worthwhile for me to pay out of pocket for a colonoscopy?

The latter question is very important in a system that isn't single-payer and so this has sparked a lot of debate in e.g the US.

This still has nothing to do with the ImageMagick developers, which the original comment implies: "Compare [sic] to codesign, vulnerability management is more concerning."

Yeah gastroenterologists in Germany are a shitshow (no pun intended). They all invested heavily into colonoscopy equipment and now must always do them for financial reasons. I was outright refused treatment when i didn't want colonoscopy for celiac disease. Practical medicine in Germany is totally stuck in the 90s, cause of some deadlock between doctors, pharma and health insurance.
I've had the experience that... I was told when I was separating from the military, at 25b(I don't know why and I didn't ask...), to expect a colonoscopy. It didn't happen. I mentioned it to my GP a couple of years later, he said probably between 30 and 35... Now I'm in my 40s. It's perpetually a couple of years away.

I get the sense from this, and from other anecdotes in life, that preventative maintenance, of all flavors, is something we used to do, for a brief period of time, but that we don't really do anymore.

Free open source software does not necessarily solve real world problems, it solves someones problem but not necessarily the problem at hand.
There is a VDSL modem/router/wifi/Powerline combo device by the Deutsche Telekom called "Speedport neo". It's actually totally functional andwl pretty cheap, at least a few years ago it was almost a steal on some websites.

The super awesome feature it had was that it contained a speaker that would play the Telekom jingle every time the connection was established. This cannot be disabled and would happen at night too. So if you had a flakey connection, or used it on some other provider that still had the forced disconnect every 24 hours, it would drive you nuts pretty quickly. So I assume a lot of people took too the obvious fix to this...
I suppose there is a need of a trusted 3rd entity that runs the service.

Otherwise anybody could run the service and pretend that anybody else signed any documents they want at any time they wanted.

I am not familiar with DocuSign internal but it looks like people are identified by their email. So only if you can click the link received in their email, it can be them.

I guess a problem with DocuSign is still that anybody can sign up for a new email and pretend to be anybody they want.

Randomized controlled trials are great, they are incredibly certain to be right.
But experience has a whole other quality, it is much less reliable but a whole lot more comprehensive. An RCT can only measure effects on what can be used to select a large group of people. It cannot measure the effects of a weird anomaly that is recorded nowhere. Meanwhile experience can extrapolate from a very few examples.

So it is not at all obvious that we should favor RCTs over experience. Because they have very different things they can measure.

It's wild how so many hearing-capable people these days are saying they are turning on captions just to hear dialog, like on on Netflix or whatever. This article was written nearly 25 years ago, and we still haven't figured out how to mix films for watching on TV. Even with a pricey soundbar + sub combo, you still have to sort through convoluted settings to adjust the middle channel. There needs to be 2 separate mixes created for movies: one for theatrical release, and one for streaming to a modern TV.

As a non-native english speaker, I'm not sure if the semantics of this claim is "there exist people in said groups that do this" or "generally, people in said groups do this"? Or something else? It seems the weak form is obviously true and strong form is obviously false.
A bad project manager/lead could do that
Well, coding-wise, it's the same skill. There are components, UI logic, business logic, etc. For these practices, I would start with Swift/React native as the easiest overhead on top of standard web development.

The time-consuming tasks for newcomers are the platform-related tasks. Bugs and issues unique to iOS, find the proper IDE (incl. build-tools, etc.), everything related to assets (pictures, video, splash screens, etc.), submit to the store, build the CI/CD that fits native apps, etc.

The most important mindset, IMO, is to remember these facts and never investigate/stuck too much with these new fields, even paying some $$ for automation that could help you with the time it is consuming. Also, managing your time for the balancing between tedious new tasks and new enjoyable learning can help with getting things done.
But alternative screenings with a wider acceptance could have a higher 'benefit-cost' for a lower 'benefit/cost'.

We will be supporting more storage providers including self hosting soon.
Code signing certificates are supposed to assure that the owner of the key has been verified to be a specific legal entity (person or organization), and also to assure a certain level of protection of the private key, such as being managed by an HSM.

Yes it does. I was referring to switching to unbound.

It could have been worse, unless the fee has changed since it was imposed around 2002 or so, fresh Norwegian hams need to cough up NOK2000/USD180 or so.

It replaced an annual fee, though, so if you were in it for the long run, you came up ahead - but it hardly is the best sell-in to a new hobby that first you need to study for a test, then, if you pass,pay $180 and only then can you start figuring out if it is for you...
Hopefully people will say “OpenSigned” one day and it will have the same impact.
couple of points. building software is so far from building a house that's not really worth comparing. (just bringing this up because the analogy is used quite a lot). second, the signatories on the agile manifesto may have done some management but most, if not all, were strong developers.

While I think you can write good software with other methodologies I do think agile is a good fit for something that is supposed to change a lot which was the original idea behind software (as opposed to hardware) existing. the core idea is that things will always change, set yourself up so you have early knowledge and can change tack when you need to.

Another thing is depending on your experience you may have been exposed to differing version of agile. I have seen many places where it has been distorted into a KPI / mini deadline / micromanagement framework, which was never the point. From my point of view agile was always about developers teaching managers how they can manage us effectively, given the uncertain nature of software estimation and process of trying ideas and learning new things feeding into working software. it's part of our professional duty to explain how to do these things properly.

The strong part about comments is that they show many sides. It is hard to find a human who can summarize things fairly, but a group of humans can get pretty close to fairness if you read it all.

I don't think you can give a good overview of comments in a short video either, it will likely just be the creators own verdict, so it doesn't replace comments well. I'd say that you don't understand a topic until you feel that both sides are right, and you wont get there from summaries.
On that note, about 20 years ago, there suddenly was an abundance of small cheap alarm clocks with DCF77 receivers available. Got one of these and totally overslept every couple months. I eventually got a second alarm and set it a few minutes before the other one, and sure enough eventually there was a day where the second one (so my original one) didn't ring its alarm. I didn't look at the clock so was not able to see what was going on, but at least knew it wasn't me.

years later when I long didn't use that clock as an alarm anymore, I had it in a spot where it wouldn't properly receive the DCF signal and I noticed that it would quickly lag behind after just a few days. So my theory at that point was that sometimes the clock just managed to fall behind enough in its old spot and then resync just when the alarm would've gone off, and there was no logic to account for this. ie the clock would compare the time to the set alarm exactly once a minute, but when the clock would receive a new time signal of 7:01:00 when its local time was 6:59:59 or earlier, I'd oversleep.
If the GitHub action only takes the source repo itself as input, you can review the state of the repo, including the .github/workflows to ensure that the executable was created consistently from given commit.

This assumes the actions are not downloading content from other places, which I’m not sure is easy to enforce given prevalence of package managers. Meaning workflows has to be reviewed manually for such.

Good point about the size of fees. However, I don’t mostly view the problem as the tech industry failing to fund open source.

I think that framing overly emphasizes an existing problem, which is the perception that OSS is sort of a charity. This misperception only reinforces the negative sense of entitlement that people have towards open source.

A couple of ways that the sense of entitlement manifests itself is the expectation that OSS should be free and, if money is involved, then it should be in the form of pay-what-you-want donations, or subscriptions, not tied to a specific exchange of value. The concept of funding can encompass this vagueness.

The word ‘Transactions’, I think, is a more precise and correct term, as it more clearly relates to desired and sustainable goal of a defined and measured exchange of value.

So instead of the issue being merely the providing of funding, rather, I see it as an issue with the open-source community not fully recognizing that it’s an industry in its own right.

This lack of awareness hampers its ability to participate effectively in the marketplace, including financial transactions to sustain itself.

On another note, I share your view that these fees are troublesome. While I agree that small fees can serve as proof of identity—verifying that the software indeed comes from the claimed source, which seems to be one main intent of signatures—I don’t understand why these fees have to be exorbitant.

It seems more like artificial price inflation, perhaps even a form of cartel behavior.

I've had two colonoscopies done in the last 10 years. The second was possibly unnecessary, but I pushed for it because I just really enjoy propofol. Maybe if more people knew that the sedative drugs used in the procedure are fun, they'd be more inclined to have it done.

That's not a question one is able to answer objectively in this world full of closed source software.

Large parts of SimCorp (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimCorp) Dimension, a suite of software for investment management used by a fair number of European banks and pensions funds, are written in APL. That said, Dyalog exists, and SimCorp does not play any grand role in its existence. So there must be others out there. The mere existence of APL keyboards is proof that there is a market for these things.
this is interesting. in my experience it is always the third situation. they try to migrate the data slowly from "old system" to "nexgen". it never works. it sounds like maybe the answer is do a big bang switch over to the new system or don't rewrite at all.
